celtic miss out for now — on the chance to claim their seventh consecutive scottish premiership title. good afternoon and welcome to bbc news. britain, the united states and china have all welcomed an announcement from north korea that it will halt its nuclear and missile tests. the move comes ahead of a summit between north and south korea on friday. president trump's hailed the news as ‘big progress‘ — here the foreign office have called it ‘a positive step‘. our correspondent laura bicker reports from the south korean capital, seoul. north korea‘s favourite news anchor is back.

usually the famous ri chun—hee would be announcing the state‘s latest missile test. but today was different. kim jong—un has declared there will be no more nuclear or ballistic missile tests. he is also going to shut down an atomic test site to focus on building north korea‘s economy. in a tweet, the us president said, "this is very good news for north korea and the world. big progress. look forward to our summit." these students have defected from north to south korea. they are sceptical of their former leader‘s claims. translation: there are three nuclear facilities and they are only closing one. it is just to show action to negotiate with the us. it doesn‘t mean they‘re going to give up their nuclear weapons. the there is a need to be wary of this announcement. translation: to develop nuclear

weapons they have killed tens of thousands of people by starving them. i think north korea is trying to get a reward because they have been pressured by sanctions. in seoul, a hotline has been set up to pyongyang to allow the leaders of the divided peninsula to talk to one another. they are welcoming this latest news from the north ahead of a summit meeting between the two sides next week. it‘s worth noting what kim jong—un did not say. he is not handing over his nuclear weapons, he is simply going to stop testing them. this is not denuclearisation as ordered by the united states. nevertheless, it is a significant step. it really signals he‘s all in, you know, and we need to catch up, i think, in terms of our analysis of where kim jong—un is. he is ready for the summit with the south koreans, for the summit with donald trump. it is a measure of his seriousness is that he is doing this before the meetings.

pyongyang has broken nearly every promise it has made to the international community. but there is some hope that, this time, maybe it will be different. laura bicker, bbc news, seoul. the un secretary—general antonio gutteres said it‘s possible that north korea could one day be fully de—nuclearised. i think there is hope, i believe that if things go well, and i think they will go well, they will prove that the security council can be effective when it is united. the problem is that in many aspects, namely syria, we have not been able to have a united security council. when it is united and adopt important measures, they can effect change. today i believe that the path is open for the peaceful denuclearisation of the korean peninsular. diplomacy is the path to peace, not war. earlier, i spoke

to our correspondent in seoul, laura bicker. she explained how kimjong—un was positioning himself, ahead of that planned summit with president trump. there is optimism in this statement because it gives us a little signal of what kim jong un might want from the summit. first he is laying the groundwork, he didn‘t have to do this, he didn‘t have to come out with the list of what he is already prepared to do. and yet he has. so when it comes to the ground work, there it is. he is already doing this. and so he go to these summits and they can bargain for more. he is also talking about the economy, making the economy better, promoting it, making the lives of his people better. that gives a little hint as to what he might be asking for. certainly, these strict international sanctions — there are some signs in pyongyang that it may be feeling the squeeze.

so they may be there to ask the international community to lift the sanctions. so that is the optimism part. the caution part — as i mentioned in that piece, pyongyang has broken nearly every promise it has made the international community. and when it comes to these pledges, these are easy pledges to make. he has already declared he is a nuclear power. they have had six nuclear tests. he may think they don‘t need to upgrade their weapons any more. and when it comes to the atomic site he is going to close, that may be significant, but the site was badly damaged, according to many reports, during the last test. so when it comes to the caution, these are easy pledges for kim jong un to make. the difficult one will be, "here are my weapons, i am going to hand them over." and when it comes to that kind of pledge, that is something we have not seen so far. very quickly, what is the feeling like in seoul? i think here in south

korea they have broadly welcomed this — it is something they really didn‘t expect, because last year us and north korea we re exchanging insults and it was a fear south korea would be caught in another korean war. and now all of a sudden there is the talk of a peace treaty being dangled in front of kim jong un. i think there is a feeling that they just want this over with somehow. i think if there is going to be a meeting between president trump and kimjong un it will give people a loss of hope here that may be some time, something maybe getting better. thank you. international chemical weapons experts have arrived at the site of a suspected gas attack in syria, according to russia‘s foreign ministry. times over the past week. a number of samples have been taken for analysis. the uk and the us took part in air strikes last week in response to the alleged use of chlorine

or sarin gas on the rebel held area. russia and syria have both denied any such attack took place. the welsh first minister, carwynjones, has announced he‘s standing down in the autumn. he told delegates at the welsh labour party conference in llandudno that his departure would give his family, his party and the country a "fresh start". mrjones said the last few months had been difficult, after his colleague, carl sargeant, was found dead four days after he had sacked him. arwyn jones reports. i don‘t think anyone can know what these last few months have been like, no one, that is, apart from lisa and the kids. they have carried me through the darkest of times. i have asked too much of them at times and it‘s time for me to think about what‘s fair to them. and so, conference, this will be the last welsh labour conference i address as party leader. ca rwyn

carwyn jones ca rwyn jones announced carwynjones announced he would stand down in the autumn. and in the first week of december zebo no longer be first minister. wales forever, welsh labour forever. applause this was an emotional speech where he spoke about cashback speech where he spoke about cashback speech where he spoke about the pressures of being the party leader. these last few months will have been the most difficult, but leading labour members said he will be remembered for more than that. he has been an exemplary leader, an exemplary first minister. he has been an absolutely wonderful ambassadorfor minister. he has been an absolutely wonderful ambassador for wales. i am very proud to have been a member of parliament in his welsh labour party. there is an unresolved position and that is about the two

sides agreeing and i don't get is helpful for me or anyone else to second—guess those conversations. as the first minister has said, all the information available will be passed over to that enquiry. inevitably thought will now turn to his successof thought will now turn to his successor with the finance secretary saying he will give serious consideration to standing. it‘s emerged that documents recording the arrival of thousands people who came to the uk from the caribbean after 1948, are being stored at the national archives in west london. the government has been criticised after many of the so—called windrush generation have struggled to prove that they live in the uk legally. the home office says the records don‘t provide proof of ongoing residency, but will review evidence provided. here‘s our political correspondent, eleanor garnier. the empire windrush brings to britain 500 jamaicans. could that finally be some good news for hundreds of the windrush generation? many in this first wave of commonwealth immigration do not have

proper paperwork and are struggling to prove their right to remain after immigration rules were tightened. despite being here legally, some have been threatened with deportation, denied access to nhs treatment and lost their jobs. but now it has emerged as the national archives in london holds passenger lists of thousands of people who came to the uk decades ago. we arrived in england... samantha‘s dad has been here since 1959 but after returning to jamaica he says he has been refused entry back into the uk. he says, i don‘t have a criminal record so why can‘t i come back? i‘m constantly reassuring him it is nothing he has done. the prime minister has apologised to commonwealth leaders and the emergence of the records will help people caught up in the row but they will still need further evidence to prove their long—term residency. london is the place for me!

the government has promised compensation for those of the windrush generation who have been treated unfairly but for those who have been here for decades and call the uk home, it will be little comfort until their situation is finally sorted. a funeral service for the former first lady of the united states, barbara bush, is to get under way this hour. mourners have been paying their respects to the 92—year—old and bill clinton, are at the service. earlier mourners paid their respects to the 92—year—old at a public lying—in—repose, where they were greeted by her husband, george bush senior. our correspondent chris bucklerjoins us from washington (0s) she has been described as a matriarch, the enforcer, by members of herfamily. matriarch, the enforcer, by members of her family. a significant character in the modern political

scene. yes, this service is actually taking place inside martin‘s episcopal church injoosten. taking place inside martin‘s episcopal church in joosten. it taking place inside martin‘s episcopal church injoosten. it is a church that the family have been in since the 1950s. —— injoosten. you get a real sense of that funeral today whenever you see the family there together. she was someone who was very, very important at the centre of that family. as you say, is also a significant political figure. part of that is just the fa ct figure. part of that is just the fact that she wasn‘t just a first lady, but also the first woman to be both the wife of a president but also the mother of the president. the 41st president, of course, was her husband, george bush, and her son became the 43rd president, george w bush. a significant political figure, but as you mention she was also someone who had a real presence inside the oval office. through many people, they believe she was someone who has ideas bounced off her, who talked to her

husband about politics, who had really firm views. sometimes she clashed with the republican party itself. because she held much more liberal views than many in that party. she was someone who fought on issues of racial segregation, felt very strongly about those matters. those liberal views didn‘t always go well with some of those inside the party, particularly on like abortion. issues just looking at the family there on screen, he was actually attending the funeral service? he was not? as you mentioned there, we do have four presidents, of course, herson mentioned there, we do have four presidents, of course, her son and dravid were are both in attendance. alongside president clinton and obama. however, it is fair to say that president trump is missing from this funeral. he has chosen not to attend. he said that was security reasons, although there have been

clashes between the bush family and the trump family over the past while, particularly during the presidential election in 2016. jeb bush also starred —— stood for the republican nomination. within the last few moments, we have had a tweet from donald trump in which he says he is watching the funeral service taking place from florida. and of course, the first lady, millennia trump, is there as well. you do get the impression from those who were there that she was a much admired and respected person. george bush, of course, was president wheneverjohn major was prime minister, and sirjohn major is also in attendance today. but there are little things at the service itself which really strike you as that sense of family, but also a sense of just how much she was respected within that family. her widower, george bush, is wearing socks which

have books of rhythm, and those books are a reflection of her importance and her work to try and promote literacy. —— books printed on them. something which she is rumoured for. she is thought of as america‘s grandmother, someone who really cared about reading, writing and having a generation understand and having a generation understand and respect that. someone who saw herself as being a political force but someone who could use that for practical, social reasons. barbara bushis practical, social reasons. barbara bush is someone who, when you talk to people, they will say, yes, she could be biting, she could be a very strong spirit, but i have been watching some of her old speeches today, and what really strikes you is just what a clever and lighting person she could be. great humour, andi person she could be. great humour, and i think that will be reflected in the service today. thank you. just to let you know that barbara

bush will be laid to rest at the george bush residential library and museum in college station in texas. she is said to be buried next to her daughter, robin, who died as a child. after battling leukaemia. the headlines on bbc news: north korea‘s announcement that it‘s ended its testing of nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles has received a largely positive response around the world. the first minister of wales, carwynjones, has announced he‘s to stand down in the autumn. the prime minister promises to do whatever it takes to help the windrush generation including paying compensation. tributes have been paid to one of the world‘s biggest electronic dance music stars — swedish dj avicii — who‘s died in oman at the age of 28. he was best known for his million selling uk number one single "wake me up". avicii had retired from touring in 2016 due to health problems.

enjoyed being at the pool — what more do we know? yes, this happened at around 9:30am at the swimming pool here at the david lloyd leisure complex, where the child was swimming with his family. what we understand is that a member of staff discovered the three—year—old boy unconscious and immediately rescued him from the water, and began giving cpr while the emergency services were called. we understand that the boy was taken to hospital in an ambulance, accompanied by his mother but despite the work of doctors and paramedics, they were unable to save his life. west yorkshire police have described this as a tragic accident, but say they want anyone who was in the pool at the time to get in touch. they have issued a statement and said. with the boy‘s family at this extremely difficult time. they say while there is nothing to suggest the death was suspicious, we

do have a duty to investigate the circumstances of what has happened. they say we understand there are a number —— were a number of people in the pool at the time he had left before the police arrived, and we ask them to come forward to give their accounts of what they saw and heard. this leisure complex will be closed for the remainder of the day. david lloyd clubs, which runs it, says its staff are trained to deal with incidents like what happened today, and that all of the team at the club are deeply shocked and saddened. our thoughts are very much with the boy‘s family at this very sad time. thank you. one of the uk‘s biggest providers of home care visits is understood to be in financial difficulties. allied healthcare — which employs nearly 9,000 staff who look after elderly and vulnerable patients — says it will continue to provide them with care. the company is seeking a repayment plan with its creditors. it says they‘ll be no redundancies. the indian government has approved the introduction of the death penalty for child rapists.

linked to how much you earned. what which has found is that men receive £154 per week on average while the typical women‘s pension is £126, hence the gap of £28, the result of patchy national insurance records and lower pay while working. for people retiring now and in the future, there‘s a new state pension. it gets rid of the state‘s second pension, which men do best from, and makes the most of allowances for caring, which go mainly to women. only those who have retired since 2016 get it. but which says amongst them, men have been getting £152 per week on average, while women are getting £1114. so there‘s still an e8 gap. many women are already having to deal with the fact that their pension age is being raised from 60 to 65. how long will it take for the pension gap to close? some say it could be a decade. simon gompertz, bbc news. stars of the commonwealth games have been given a hero‘s
