9:01 pm
has addressed the us congress at the end of this three—day state visit. at times, it was quite the contrast to his american counterpart. he called for action on climate change, urged multi—nationalism and called on donald trump not to abandon the iran nuclear deal. here he is on the latter. we should not abandon it without having something substantial and more substantial instead. that is my position. that is why france will not leave the gc pa because we signed it. your president and your country will have to take in the coming days and weeks its own
9:02 pm
responsibilities regarding this issue. but what i want to do and what we decided together with your president is that we can work on a more comprehensive deal. here's mr macron on climate change. by by polluting the oceans, not mitigating c02 by polluting the oceans, not mitigating co2 emissions and that destroying our biodiversity, we are killing our planet. let's face it. there is no planet b. - sure killing our planet. let's face it. there is join anet b. 25171: 7 killing our pla the letisface it. gag-fi— 2 24,1?7 7.7 .,

he f——— which was is
9:04 pm
he hich was is he took nas is ioss ok nas ~=aim is moments in the speech. the french president touched on what's been dubbed as the unlikely "bro—mance" between he and donald trump. in 1778, the french philosopher voltaire and benjamin franklin met in paris. john adams tells the story that after they had shaken hands, they embraced each other by hugging one another with their arms and kissing each other‘s cheeks. does that remind you of something? we have seen evidence...
9:05 pm
and we've evidence... seen evidence of what the pair describe as a "strong" personalfriendship throughout this trip. and a warning of flash photography in the following clips. these are some of the key moments. this is the grand arrival to last night's state dinner for emmanuel macron and his wife, brigitte. here's inside that event. you could see lots of toasting. both leaders warmly toasted to each other. the evening was largely organised by the first lady melania trump. and there was no pomp spared. and time and time again, we've seen scenes like these, handshakes and hugs. we have mentioned the warm relationship between these two. this is a the end of yesterday's joint press conference. following mr macron‘s
9:06 pm
speech to congress, this is what one republican thought. this is a tweet. jamie raskin said, "macron seduced trump and the gop with all the hugs and kisses. his message is to ditch authoritarianism and the alt—right and stand up for strong democracy and human rights." let's go back to barbara, who has been monitoring all of this for us. so yes, very much in this romance, this friendship, but at the very heart of it, we are seeing the french president want to show himself as the leader of europe. it is at donald trump listening to wipe macron is saying? he has certainly given him quite a lot of time. and i guess time will tell whether he actually asked or listens to what mr macron is saying. the first test is going to be mid—may, the deadline
9:07 pm
donald trump has imposed for himself on whether to abandon the iran nuclear court or stick with it as mr macron has been trying to convince him to do. i think the main thing the french president is doing is learning to develop and handle the american president. to learn a report and flatter him and show strength because donald trump clearly respects macron‘s power. and exercise a bit of tough love in standing upfor exercise a bit of tough love in standing up for the right way you think it is to go, even if that means standing up to what president trump possibly own vision is. and i think he has been pretty clear up, macron, what his bullet overall goal is to keep americans engage in multilateral agreements. at the same time, he has been able to use his platform to project his own leadership in a global way. barbara, president macron is right now addressing george washington university. let's have a listen. addressing george washington university. let's have a listenlj
9:08 pm
wa nt university. let's have a listen.|j want to address this question of a very well— known and very competent in question, which is how develop your economic links with other states, governments, for people in these countries. when you have, i would say, difficult governments or people with disrespect, classical governance and democracy, i think first of all, when you western leaders,... we are watching live images of the french president addressing students at george washington university. he is ending that three—day state visit and we are seeing images earlier of the boro between the french leader and president donald trump. our thanks to barbara. talking us through the implications of the state visit a little earlier. now let us move on. today, a danish court found peter madsen, a danish inventor, guilty of premeditated murder of the swedish journalist kim wall.
9:09 pm
the judge described the attack as, "a cynical and planned sexual assault and brutal murder of a random woman". kim wall's death has gripped danish media. it's particularly gruesome. here are the details. on august the 10th last year, kim wall was writing a story about the inventor. she boarded his homemade submarine in copenhagen. a day later, the vessel sank. kim wall was notified as missing. ten days later, her mutilated torso was discovered on a beach. police divers later found her head, legs and clothing at sea. this photo was the last anyone saw of her, smiling next to mr madsen. he had changed his story surrounding her death three times. he maintains it was accident and says he's appealing the verdict. here's maddy savage in copenhagen.
9:10 pm
when sentencing peter madson, thejudge said this was a cynically planned killing of a particularly brutal nature. he said it was clear that peter madson had sexually assaulted and tortured kim wall while she was still alive. and he showed little concern for her as a person. just minutes after the time he said she died from toxic fumes, he sent a text message to his wife. the judge also described peter as someone who was difficult to trust. the danish inventor had given three different versions of what happened that night. he said he first dropped off kim safely.
9:11 pm
then he said she had died after a hatch had fallen on her head, and the finally what he said that she had died after breathing toxic fumes while getting stuck in a part of the submarine. but the judge did not believe any of those accounts or his story. the judge said that to some extent, she was a random victim. he had invited other women on board the submarine that summer, it‘ just that they had said no. there has been a huge media attention on this case, both here in scandinavia and around the world. we understand more than 100 journalists from at least 15 countries have covered the trial. when kim's mother gave evidence last month, she said that 67,000 articles have been written about her daughter. the family are not in court to hear the verdict, but in recent months, they have been very keen to try and ensure that she is not rememberd for the way that she died but herjournalistic legacy.
9:12 pm
isjournalists from one of turkey's biggest opposition newspapers have been sentenced on terror—related charges. the controversial case has raised alarm bells over the state of press freedom in turkey. the court ruled the case against the prominent journalist can dundar, previously the newspaper's editor in chief, would continue separately. earlier, i spoke to bbc‘s mark lowen in istanbul about the penalties that have been imposed. very heftyjail sentences indeed passed against the 15 staff members at this newspaper. it is turkey's oldest mainstream newspaper, and when you look at the prison sentences, all for aiding and abetting terrorism, they are quite shocking. the editor—in—chief sentenced to seven and a half years. a leading journalist given seven and a half years as well. a cartoonist at the newspaper given three years, nine months. other columnists and journalists, even an accountant at the newspaper given three years, nine months.
9:13 pm
they will all appeal their sentences, and they will all be released on bail while they appeal them. three of the staff were acquitted, and the chairman will be released, given that he has been sitting in prison for about 500 days or so. that just about covers the duration of his sentence. this is being seen by supporters of the leading secular newspaper in turkey and one of the few remaining opposition media outlets here as a huge attack on press freedom. and a reminder that this comes on the day that reporters without borders, the internationaljournalist watchdog, ranks turkey 157th out of 180 countries in the press freedom index. stay with us on outside source. still to come: live in new york for facebook‘s
9:14 pm
earning results. we find out if the scandal out great —— aowei and growth. the windrush immigration row continues, and amber rudd said she bitterly regrets not seeing the scale of the problem. today, jeremy corbyn used prime minister's questions to call for the home secretary to resign. a report last month by immigration officials stated the hostile environment measures were not even having the desired affect. the current home secretary inherited a failing policy and made it worse. isn't it time she took responsibility and resigned? the labour leader's call came ahead of amber rudd's appearance at the home affairs select committee. she told mps she'd become aware of cases in recent months, but did not see it as a widespread issue. i became aware that there was a potential issue. i bitterly, deeply regret that i didn't see it as more than individual cases that had gone
9:15 pm
wrong that needed addressing. i didn't see it as a systemic issue until very recently. this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. our lead story is: president macron addresses the us congress. the french leader urges the united states to return to the paris climate agreement and not to retreat into isolationism. let's take a look at some of the other stories we're working on in the bbc newsroom. donor nations have pledged nearly $4.5 billion to fund aid efforts in syria. this is half the amount that will be needed this year because this year alone some 700,000 syrians have been forced to flee fighting. public transport in parts of south africa has been disrupted by a strike over next month's introduction of a minimum wage. some unions went on strike demanding
9:16 pm
at least three times the proposed amount of $1.60 an hour. president cyril ramaphosa says it will reduce inequality and boost a sluggish economy. and it's been revealed that this dessert will be served at friday's summit between the leaders of north and south korea. and that has angered the japanese, because the garnish depicts an outline of a unified korean peninsula and shows islands controlled by south korea but claimed by japan. now let's bring you up—to—date with some outside source of business news. facebook has just unveiled its financial results for the first three months of this year, the first set of earnings since the data privacy scandal involving cambridge analytica. kim gittleson is in new york. so what are they? so they had just
9:17 pm
come out and they beat many investor expectations, suggesting the company is doing well in the face of regulator scrutiny. profits in the first three months of this year work almost $5 billion, an increase of 13% compared to a year ago. interestingly, the majority of their revenue, which was nearly 12 but in dollars, came from mobile advertising. they say that nearly 91% of their ad revenue was from selling ads on a mobile platform, a very different thing from facebook‘s early days when it was primarily selling ads on the desktop version of the site. we also saw their daily active users were one point let me double check that figure, and their monthly active users were to were to
9:18 pm
point to .2 billion, which is significantly more than investors had been expecting. so we have seen that shares move slightly, but we are all waiting for mark zucker bird to speak. we expect an investor call in and about 45 minutes that will give us more insight into the numbers in this report. and honestly, facebook thinks its profitability going forward, not to get what happened in the path they must do what might be happening to its bottom line given all the headwind is facing here in the us and eu gap in terms of users, data privacy and of course various investigations into that scandal. so is it suggesting that what they are doing is working, seeing these increases? advocate might be too soon to say what impact the scandal has had on the bottom line going forward , has had on the bottom line going forward, but it does suggest the company still remains quite profitable, even in the face of all of these investigations. it is one
9:19 pm
of these investigations. it is one of these investigations. it is one of the biggest advertising platforms in the world. and they have done a greatjob of in the world. and they have done a great job of monetizing in the world. and they have done a greatjob of monetizing it, obviously by using some of our data up obviously by using some of our data up to sell that to specify the targeted advertising can get on the platform. certainly that is still appealing to advertisers. we have not seen them leave the platform and drugs, but it might be too soon to tell how the scandal has impacted the earning power going forward. tell how the scandal has impacted the earning power going forwardm thank you very much for crunching those numbers. just a few hours ago wall streetjournal put up this report that the us department ofjustice is formally investigating whether china's huawei violated us sanctions related to iran. stu woo broke the story, and he's here now. so just give us a bit more detail. the allegations that huawei broke sanctions in iran are new. two agencies have looked into that for more than a year. what is new today
9:20 pm
it is now a criminal investigation. that can mean more costly penalties. so what are the allegations? we do not know the allegations but i can give you an example of what they could be looking into. mark roe three make smartphones and are the largest maker of cell phone towers. they might be looking for america making peter services, for instance. that could be a break of sanctions. huawei is a huge company. what kind of impact, how concerned will they be? there are two things. if the department ofjustice finds wrongdoing, they could fly huawei $1 million, but that is a whole lot to huawei who made $100 million last year. a worse penalty is the us might say american suppliers cannot sell the chips that huawei needs to make product. back at her ben smith gently. where are you looking next for this? this is part of a broader
9:21 pm
campaign the us has its huawei. they do not want them in the us. they think that huawei hardware can be used to spy on americans. this is pa rt used to spy on americans. this is part of a broader american ever to stop huawei in the us. they think that huawei hardware can be used to spy that huawei hardware can be used to spy on americans. this is part of a broader american ever to stop huawei at all cost. explain to any of us who may not be familiar, they are global, a huge company. they are the world's number three smartphone brand, behind samsung and apple, and they make more cell phone tower than anyone else, more than gnocchi or ericsson. that is what america is worried about. thank you so much. good luck with your reporting. a global media bidding war has begun. comcast, the american owner of nbc universal and the country's biggest cable company, has formally made an offer to buy britain's sky tv. comcast made an all—cash offer worth more than $30 billion, or £12.50 pounds a share.
9:22 pm
the offer is at a 16% premium to the offer on the table from rupert murdoch's fox of £10.75 pounds a share, or $16 billion, for the 61% of sky that it does not already own. our media editor amol rajan explains. he has a lot more on the website if you want to check out his analysis. here is what he has to say. if we remember seven years ago, rupert murdoch bid for full control of sky. that was scuppered by the phone hacking scandal. a couple of years ago, 18 months ago, he had another bid, a fresh bid. that's now been stuck with regulators for most of the past 18 months. in the meantime, rupert murdoch has baffled us all, confused us all by saying he's going to sell most of his company, 21st century fox, to disney, who are also interested in sky. and along today swoops comcast. this is america's largest cable
9:23 pm
operator, a huge, huge company, a real giant in media. and they've offered a much juicier, much bigger price for sky, 16% higher per share. sky shareholders said this is a very attractive offer, potentially more money, less regulatory headache. so we're going to listen. we' re interested. and we now have this interesting prospect of rupert murdoch being invited to enter into a bidding warfor the company that he set up in 1989. why does this matter? what does this mean for consumers? basically, lots and lots of people want to buy sky. sky is a company that has got three different big giants bidding for it, and it's happening because of this huge disruption across the media sector. basically, if you're a sky customer, you're probably going to get more fantastic content coming down your hub pretty soon. so the company is sitting pretty today. lots more from him on our website. let's ta ke lots more from him on our website. let's take a pause from all those huge figures. the month of april is one of the busiest months of the year for tourism in japan. last year, a staggering 2.5 million visitors arrived in april, many hoping to participate in what's known as "hanami", the practise of viewing cherry blossoms, a long—standing japanese tradition
9:24 pm
of welcoming spring. here's one tourist‘s story. well, this is my eighth hanami. we lived here for six and a half years. every year we went, and it was something very special. and then this is the first one that we've come back specifically to visit. my husband decided to retire, and instead of buying something bigger and more, we decided to put some emphasis on experiences with our teenage sons. it's a very important time, a crucial time for teenagers, and we wanted to reconnect with them and open their eyes to the world and maybe change their dna for the future. six months ago, we were checking the map, we were checking the weather, we were checking the estimates for when would be peak
9:25 pm
hanami season, and it's today! during the periods of march to may, that's when the cherry blossoms come out, and we do see an increased amount, especially a 20 to 30% year on year increase. stunning. i've never been but if you do, let me know. in the next part of programme, we look at this california cold case, the golden state keller, a notorious serial killer linked to 12 murders all carry out in the 70s and 805. police carry out in the 705 and 805. police have named him. we will be live in california up with that story and many others. if you want to get in touch, it is past tagged bbc os. for

9:30 pm
claims to have caught another reus gerina piller, it is decades after he carried out a string of murders and rapes that have earned him the name of the golden state keller. at a press co nfe re nce name of the golden state keller. at a press conference they unveiled a photo of the best man who they have named as joseph james deangelo. photo of the best man who they have named asjosephjames deangelo. he is believed to be a former police officer, and is now in his 705. he has been charged with two counts of murder but is suspected of more than 50 rapes come on other 12 murders, all of these were carried out in the 19705 and the 19805. police say that they discarded the was used to finally match the suspect. here is a little what they said. over the last few days, as information started to point towards this individual, we started some surveillance and we
9:31 pm
we re started some surveillance and we were able to get some discarded dna and we were able to confirm what we thought we already knew. that we half—ironman. and yesterday afternoon, in a perfectly executed arrest, my detectives arrested josephjames arrest, my detectives arrested joseph james deangelo. —— arrest, my detectives arrested josephjames deangelo. —— that we had our man. 72 years old, living in citrus heights. a little of the police press conference there. also at that press conference was the brother of one of the victims. to the entire reservoir of victims out there, my sadness is with you for there, my sadness is with you for the 51 ladies who were brutally raped, he isn't coming through the window, i hope to sleep better tonight. he is now injail. and he is history. the brother of one of the many victims. must talk to james
9:32 pm
cook. hejoins us the many victims. must talk to james cook. he joins us from the many victims. must talk to james cook. hejoins us from los the many victims. must talk to james cook. he joins us from los angeles. this is what is known as a cold case, these crimes happen in the 705 and 805, remind us about what happened. this crime spree began in 1974 in sacramento, the state capital of california which is a pretty sleepy place. indeed we heard on the news conference from the district attorney for sacramento who talked about being a little girl at the time and how it transformed sacramento, that the members she said are still vivid of how terrified people were in a place where up until that point people really had to lock the doors. but what happened was this began with the burglaries in homes being ransacked, and women being raped and then with murders. the man is alleged to have committed and all 51 and rapes and 12 murders. more than 175 crimes altogether although so far it you mentioned he had been charged with two, that was corrected
9:33 pm
at that stage, later a few minutes ago, we heard he has been charged with for now counts of murder, two in northern california into in ve ntu ra in northern california into in ventura county. thank you for the update. that press conference just happened within the past 30 minutes. it has taken a long time to get here. why is that? it is quite remarkable really that they managed to crack the case now. they say they had for some years, dna evidence. what happened was the crimes began in sacramento, but then they suddenly stopped and debris appeared in san francisco and further south and central and southern california. which led to the man having several nicknames, the original night stalker was one the golden state keller as we have erred was another. the east area rapist with a third, they were not sure authorities in they were not sure authorities in the early stages that this was the same person. gradually they begin to realise that it was as dna
9:34 pm
technology became available and they went back to some of the evidence administered minister tested and determined that there was indeed a link between the crimes in northern and southern california. and then they managed to crack the case. they issued an appeal for a reported two yea rs issued an appeal for a reported two years ago on the 40th anniversary of the first crimes, but the police, they been quite core and i said exactly what led them at this stage to the man although they say they found discarded dna and why they we re found discarded dna and why they were looking at him is unclear. what the effect tab that was that got him to come, they say his adult children are cooperating and they are shocked and very surprised by his arrest. thank you for the update. james in los angeles. a lot of reaction on social media as well about that stage. that serial killer, a p pa re ntly stage. that serial killer, apparently the golden state killer is cost. we will stay in the united states. one of the lead actors in the simpsons says he is willing to
9:35 pm
step aside from voicing one of the shows most popular characters. and one that has become increasingly controversial. you will know this character. he is voiced by hank mcafee. he also thus they were so many other characters. he has spoken in the past, perhaps and just but not about how the producers apparently xm can you do end and begin voice and how offensive can you make it. —— can't you do it in the invoice. the controversy you do it in the invoice. the co ntrove rsy grew you do it in the invoice. the controversy grew last year. a documentary by indian—american comedian hari konda—bolu. hari argued that apu is based on racial stereotypes. on the late show with stephen colbert last night hank azaria said he'd be willing to stop voicing the role. i've given this a lot of thought, really a lot of thought. and as i said, my eyes have been opened and i think the most important thing is we have to listen
9:36 pm
to south asian people, indian people in this country when they talk about what they feel and how they think about this character and what the american experience of it has been. and as you know, in television terms, listening to voices means inclusion in the writers room, i really want to see indian, south asian writer or writers in the room, not in a token way but genuinely informing what new direction this character may take. hari konda—bolu the comic who made the documentary, called ‘the problem with apu' has tweeted... talk radio host chris stigall referencing other characters in the show, including krusty the clown, goundskeeper willie among others, is stressing that they are all portrayed as stereotypes. i asked james waterhouse from newsbeat to tell us more about the character.
9:37 pm
apu is almost a staple part of the simpsons. he runs the quickie mart, a convenience store in springfield and has very pronounced indian accent he comes indian accent, he comes from an arranged marriage, he has been known to sell products that may have gone past the sell by date which homer likes to eat from time to time. and he's very passionate and proud to be a us citizen. he's very enthusiastic about his work despite the quality of what he sells. now, the simpsons have tried to address this growing controversy, they created an episode at the beginning of april that was aired, did not go down so well. it did not, no. in simpsons style, they tried to acknowledge the criticisms recently that they been having a number of years with his character where marge is reading lisa at bedtime story and lisa says isn't it funny how something was applauded decades ago, is now deemed offensive? marge says this is something that will be dealt with in due course. in trying to deal with it lightly, that hasn't helped many critics
9:38 pm
who still take issue with the fact that apu is a racial stereotype and what is worse is that he's is voiced by a white guy, hank azaria, who is a major part of the simpsons. but fans of the show say that all the characters are arguably incredible stereotypes. they would. it is a massive part of the simpsons‘ humour. i will give you a list. fat tony, the mafia boss, it doesn't get more stereotypical than that. you have luigi risotto, the name, bumblebee man, a spanish guy dressed in a suit on a low—budget network tv channel, where he is speaking in broken spanish. you have cletus, the southern state stereotype if you like, and groundskeeper willie, thick scottish accent, miserable, working at the elementary school. no shortage of that and if you look at hank azaria's other characters, there is moe the barman, chief wiggum, fat police officer, often in his police car, it doesn'tjust stop there. it is a theme across the series. that was a james waterhouse talking
9:39 pm
to mea that was a james waterhouse talking to me a little bit earlier. we will keep the focus on the united states because the supreme court is hearing arguments on the legality of president trumps travel ban. isn't held up in lower courts for over a year. the attorney—general put this particular statement in which he says that... he goes on to say... not everybody agrees. let me bring in anthony zurcher. the argument from the supreme court, you can never read too much into what the justices are asking, but it seems like there is a fair amount of defference to the president as far
9:40 pm
as presidential authority and immigration issues. congress has passed a law that gives the president considerable discretion and the courts don't normally like to step in and get involved with the sorts of things. although it is interesting to hear one justice talk about how this president is different and this case could be different, was there religious bias going on in donald trump's decision on this and she presented this hypothetical of a president who campaigned on anti—semitism and if he implemented a policy that prevented immigrants coming overfrom israel, would that be unconstitutional religious discrimination and if you flip it around and look at how donald trump campaigned and how this could be targeted against muslims, does that make this particular policy wrong as well. we will turn to canada or
9:41 pm
authorities are so trying to identify all the victims of monday's fan attack which happened in toronto. despite the corner bringing indexer help overnight, only a few of the ten people killed have been named. among them is 80—year—old dorothy, she is a grandmother who local media says was actually on her way to a bank when she was had by that a band that mounted the pavement. also among those names is anna maria, who worked in the company which was based on young street where that attack took place. the suspect accused of driving that van is alec minassian and my colleague has a little bit more on this story from toronto for us. toronto police have confirmed that they are looking at that cryptic facebook message that was left by alek minassianjust facebook message that was left by alek minassian just moments before the attack as part of the investigation. in it he referred to it back up 3—wood but again, with
9:42 pm
