we want to take you live now to south korea where the presidential chief of staff is giving a news conference, explaining the schedule for the inter— korean summit. i would like to especially thank the foreign press, who has travelled so far to be here today. with that i would like to brief you on the schedule of the 2018 beijing —— inter—korean summit. kimjong—un and moon jae—in will —— inter—korean summit. kimjong—un and moonjae—in will meet tomorrow morning on april, the 27th, 9:30am and will begin their first meeting at the dmz. chairman kim will walk across the military demarcation line

between buildings t3 and t3. president moon will grigg chairman kim jong—un at the mgm line in front of the military armistice commission —— great. after meeting at the mdl the ministers will be escorted to the ministers will be escorted to the venue for the official welcoming ceremony. at 9:a0 a.m., they will arrive at the square located between freedom house and peace house and the official welcoming ceremony, including the inspection of the honour guard, will be observed at this square. back in 2000 and 2007 when the south visited pyongyang for a summit, they reviewed the honour guard consisting of the members of the north korean army, navy and are forced officials in the welcoming ceremony and after they will greet

the official delegates of both sides, including the welcoming ceremony, and then they will move to the peace house, where the summit will take place. chairman kim jong—un is scheduled to sign the guestbook prepared on the first floor of the peace house and join president moonjae—in in the taking of commemorative photos. the two leaders will have a short chat in their reception room before moving to the conference room on the second floor to start the inter— korean summitfor floor to start the inter— korean summit for peace and prosperity of the korean peninsula at 10:30am. after the morning session of the summit is finished, the two sides will have separate luncheon and a rest time. in the afternoon, the north and south korean leaders will jointly plant a commemorative tree as an expression of wishes for peace and prosperity. the two leaders will

together plant a pine tree, which stands for peace and prosperity on the mda line, which has symbolised confrontation and division over the past 65 years. the spot for the tree is beside a path near the mda line, which... had a convoy of cattle taken to his hometown in north korea. the pine, heydari beloved by many north korean people, was selected as a species for the tree planting and the age of the treat dates back to 1973 —— a tree highly beloved. inc relieved on the stone plaque of the tree will be the phrase peace and prosperity —— in grave. —— in

grave. afterwards the two leaders are likely to engage in friendly conversation and they will go to a footbridge. the footbridge got its name from the united nations, and and in order to shorten the route taken by the un commission, the footbridge was created, so the name isa footbridge was created, so the name is a direct translation into korean of the english name. we have extended the footbridge in preparation for the summit meeting and the two leaders will walk together right up to the mdl. after

taking a stroll, the two leaders will move towards the peace house and continue with their afternoon schedule and after the summit meeting the two leaders will sign an agreement and announce it for the benefit of the press corps and in order to convey a lively message, we would like to have a formaljoint declaration but depending on the level of the agreement, when and how it will be announced will be determined so as of yet it remains undetermined. starting from 6:30 p-m-, undetermined. starting from 6:30 p.m., the welcoming dinner will begin in the banquet hall on the third floor of the peace house, it will be attended by all officials from both sides, after the dinner there will be a farewell ceremony during which the two leaders will watch together a video and the facade of the peace house will be used as a screen and the theme of the video is a new spring being

enjoyed together. the video will feature a mix of beautiful images and music to represent the past, present and future of the korean peninsula against the backdrop of the peace house, and historic venue, people around the world on this historic moment will have the chance to have the same feeling as the two leaders sharing deep fraternity and heart touching events. this will mark the end of all official events. now let me brief you on the list of the official delegates from the north, they consist of nine members. kimjong—nam, the north, they consist of nine members. kim jong—nam, the supreme people's assembly president, the vice—chairman of the central committee of the workers' party committed. vice—chairman of the central committee workers' party of career. the vice—chairman of the central committee of the workers' party of korea. the director of the workers' party of korea. the chief of the kba general staff. the minister of the people's armed forces of dprk. the chairman of the

committee for peaceful reunification of the countries. i , about 25 figures, the closest aides to chairman kim will also attend the dinner —— the dinner. the official delegation for the southside, the chairman of the joint chief of staff, has been added as an official delegate of the south bashed south side. i want to add one more thing to this briefing —— south side. this is the focus of the summit, peace. north korea's nuclear weapons and icbms have advanced significantly so at this point of time reaching an agreement on denuclearisation would be... given the fact that in the early 1990s and

2000, there were previous denuclearisation agreements, but this agreement if it comes bought would be quite different compared to these past agreements, that makes this summit that much more difficult. when the special envoys visited north korea, we confirmed their commitment to denuclearisation, so the two leaders, how much they can agree to this denuclearisation, and how they can actually turn this into an official document, that's a very difficult aspect, and even if there is an official agreement on denuclearisation, whether there can bea denuclearisation, whether there can be a consensus from the two leaders for complete denuclearisation of the korean peninsular, this cannot be decided by us. it's a substantial and key part of the summit meeting... studio: stay with the pictures... this is something that was beyond

oui’ this is something that was beyond our capacity to decide. depending on the level of agreement, that's the reason why i told you the format of the announcement will be decided. if you have any questions? studio: you are live on bbc news, we are here in south korea with the south korean presidential chief of staff giving essentially a technical briefing for the press, not necessarily i think for the public. the media centre, explaining the schedule for the inter—korean summit on friday, injust over 2a hours, the first time korean leaders will have met since 2007. more to come on that very significant summit later in the bulletin. on tuesday, donald trump and emanuel macron were holding hands and wiping dandruff off jackets. today, addressing congress, the french president publicly stood up for many of the things mr trump has promised to destroy, he backed the iran nuclear deal and stressed the urgency of tackling climate change. mr macron hasjust been giving a press conference, he said mr trump might still reject

the current deal that limits iran's nuclear ambitions, but insisted there had been progress towards a new, better agreement. translation: no matter the decision to be taken by the united states on 12 may, we shall actjointly in the region in order to find a broader agreement and a joint strategic framework to talk to iran. president trump was open to that prospect, and to the idea of having a more comprehensive agreement, a more structured one, that would enable us to cover and to answer the concerns that exist regarding iran's activities. this will not happen overnight, but i think it is an important step. it seems to me that he is not very much eager to defend it. earlier i got the latest from our washington correspondent,

chris buckler. president macron came here on a mission, a very specific mission to address a range of global issues, on the top of that list was the iran nuclear deal, to try to get donald trump to stay inside of it. it seems clear as he is leaving that he's failed in that mission. donald trump continues to say he doesn't want ta ke continues to say he doesn't want take part in this iran nuclear deal, which was a high point for barack obama and his foreign achievements inside his presidency. however, donald trump does not believe the deal is a good one, he believes it is far too lenient on iran. what it basically does is it eases economic sanctions in return for iran curbing its nuclear programme. but donald trump has concerns about that and has made clear that he was to walk away, perhaps as early as may 12. president macron new time was

against him, he was here to persuade him to stay in, but it seems terry clear from that news conference that he doesn't believe that he has achieved that —— very clear. it looks as if once a emmanuel macron has left the white house and the hawkish new national security adviserjohn bolton is back into the room, that will be the real impact on donald trump. yes. and i think president macron, as much as you mentioned there, the handholding that we have seen, all the air kisses, all the displays of affection in public, as much as we talk about their personal relationship which both men said they both have and is deeply felt and they genuinely like each other, the point is beyond the personal, it comes down to politics. and they come from very different backgrounds and have very different beliefs. put simply, president macron continues to talk about his worldview. that was the message he gave to congress today.

how he believes every country must meet part in issues on the environment, the middle east and in dealing with the threat of nuclear weapons, for example. on the other hand, donald trump really believes in america first, not an internationalist vision but very much a vision concentrating on american interests. so there is that deep divide there. and they walk away, albeit having this wonderful personal relationship, but with a deep divide that has not been bridged here. on issues like syria, iran, and indeed trade tariffs, there will remain those problems and that will affect their relationship ultimately. stay with us on bbc news. the stars and stripes at half—mast outside columbine high. the school sealed off, the bodies of the dead still inside. i never thought that they would actually go through with it. some places have already had nearly

as much rain as they'd normally expect in an entire year. for millions of americans, the death of richard nixon in a new york hospital has meant conflicting emotions. a national day of mourning next wednesday sitting somehow uneasily with the abiding memories of the shame of watergate. and lift—off of the space shuttle discovery with the hubble space telescope, our window on the universe. very good to have you with us on bbc news.

ending his state visit to the us, emmanuel macron has said he believes president trump will still walk away from the iran nuclear deal, despite their friendship. there's been a series of demonstrations across germany against anti—semitism in reaction to mobile phone footage, posted on social media, showing two men injewish skullcaps being attacked by three youths. one of the men was an israeli—arab, who said he'd been given the skullcap as a gift from a friend. many non—jews wearing skullcaps, or the kippah, joined the demonstrations in solidarity. lebo diseko reports. standing together, side—by—side, protesting against anti—semitism — thousands of people of various faiths on the streets of berlin, wearing the jewish skullcap, the kippah. translation: it is important that today so many berliners have paved the way by going out

into the street wearing the kippah to say that anti—semitism has no place in our city. it is in response to an assault on two young men wearing kippahs on a berlin street last week. the attacker was filmed shouting anti—semitic abuse. here's what one of the victims had to say. translation: i was in israel some days ago and received the kippah as a gift from a friend. when he gave it to me, he said i should not go outside with a kippah in berlin because it is not safe. at the time, i thought this was wrong and it was nonsense. there has been widespread condemnation of the attack, with demonstrations in a number of towns. translation: we, as christians, have a very special relationship tojudaism. anti—semitic assaults arejust not on. translation: everybody has a right to show their religion, and this is part of germany. manyjewish groups have raised concerns about the rise of anti—semitic incidents. one community leader even advised people to avoid wearing the kippah

in big cities. germany's leader angela merkel said her government will respond with full force against anti—semitism. but it may well take more to make ordinaryjewish people feel safe expressing their faith in everyday life. lebo diseko, bbc news. authorities in california believe they've identified the so—called golden state killer, thought to be responsible for at least 50 rapes and 12 murders in the 1970s and 80s. the man they've arrested is a former police officer, joseph deangelo. james cook has this report. josephjames joseph james d'angelo, the josephjames d'angelo, the man police said terrorised california while serving as an officer of the law himself. after decades of frustration for detectives, they found a suspect under their noses in this quiet suburb of the state capital. for over 40 years, cou ntless capital. for over 40 years, countless victims have waited for justice. over these years, countless victims have waited for justice. overthese years, hundreds of individuals have soughtjustice

for these victims and their families. the rapist moved into the cou nty families. the rapist moved into the county in october, striking three times injust over three weeks... more than 175 crimes in the 70s and 80s have been linked to the golden state killer, including 12 murders and 51 rates. she was awakened while being blindfolded. she never saw her assailant. the crime spree started in sacramento, before spreading to the san francisco area and then central and southern california. it took years before investigators could confirm that the crimes were linked. advances in science and eventually led detectives to the former police officer, now 72 years old and the father of grown—up children. his arrest apparently came asa children. his arrest apparently came as a complete surprise. over the last few days, as information started to point towards this individual, we started some surveillance. we were able to get on discarded dna and we were able to confirm what we thought we already

knew, that we had our man. for the families of victims, although the pain endures, there is now some satisfaction. to the entire reservoir of victims out there, my sadness is with you. for the 51 ladies who were brutally raped, sleep better tonight. he's not coming through the window. prosecutors are now beginning to file charges againstjoseph deangelo. if convicted, he could face the death penalty. james cook, bbc news, los angeles. let's take a look at some of the other stories making the news: a turkish court has sentenced 15journalists and staff from the country's oldest newspaper, cumhuriyet, to up to 7.5 years injail for aiding terrorist groups. they say they were simply doing theirjob, working for an opposition newspaper — a rare thing these days in turkey. they've been given bail while they appeal. a danish inventor has been found guilty of murdering and dismembering the swedish journalist, kim wall.

she was last seen alive with peter madsen in 2017, when she boarded his self—made submarine. days later, her remains washed ashore. madsen has been sentenced to life in prison. the hollywood actor hank azaria has said he's willing to step down from voicing one of the most popular characters of the tv show, the simpsons. apu, the indian—american shopowner, has become increasingly controversial, and a recent documentary argued he was based on racial stereotypes. facebook has published new guidelines for the content allowed on its site, and created a new appeal process. the company, of course, is trying to repair levels of trust since the privacy row surrounding the british firm, cambridge analytica. it's all drawn attention to the very difficult work of thousands of content moderators, who review millions of complaints every day about extreme material. angus crawford reports. report something you don't like on facebook, and it ends up at a place like this.

behind the door, facebook‘s content moderators, looking at the worst the internet can offer so you don't have to. they're people like laura... i remember i cried. ..who'd only talk to us anonymously. i realised how bad people can be. she doesn't work there anymore. it was too difficult, too distressing. every day, you will see things that shock you — traumatising stuff. beheadings, child pornography, like, even a six—month—old baby being raped. you see very graphic images of blood and terrorist attacks. she says there was a constant pressure to hit targets, hundreds of actions, or tickets, per day, each one potentially traumatic content. you become like a machine. it's about five seconds per ticket or less. next, decide.

i think we complained almost every day. almost every day, because we had problems. we didn't like the things we were looking at. automation helps us prioritise... facebook actively promotes its community standards, urging users to click and report bad content for people like laura to review. its founder, mark zuckerberg, underfire for alleged data breaches and a lack of transparency, has now published internal guidelines on how it decides what content is acceptable and what is not. 700 moderators work in this office in berlin. facebook insists they're all carefully chosen. we weren't allowed to interview them and find out what they really thought, but were assured there's psychological support available 24 hours a day. clearly the content, some of it, is deeply distressing. how much do you value these young people, these young content moderators?

we value them so much. this work is so important. it is at the cornerstone of everything we do in keeping our community safe. the moderator we spoke to said this was the worstjob she'd ever done. we know it's difficult. we're committed to giving them what they need to do this job well, and if they're ever uncomfortable at work, there are counselling resources for them, and they can be shifted to work on a different type of content. it's important to us to keep our community safe, but it's also very important to us to support our employees and keep them healthy. laura is one of thousands, a growing army of young people, hidden from view, protecting us from the very darkest parts of social media. a couple of times i imagined mark zuckerberg coming up to the office and i imagined just telling him, "how are you allowing this to happen — that young people like us are having to see these things?" angus crawford, bbc news, berlin. just finally, a glimpse of the

better side of human nature. we will show you these pictures. a 14—year—old surfer from vanuatu is trendy online after surf competition in the south pacific. he impressed thejudges as he rode in the south pacific. he impressed the judges as he rode the waves into the judges as he rode the waves into the semifinals, even though his very battered surfboard is held together with duct tape. this has prompted a campaign to supply him with a new board, the local associations say they have been overwhelmed with offers, just from abroad. new zealand offered at least 40 boards to budding surfers in vanuatu. briefly, that main news again, ending his visit to the us, emmanuel macron says he believes president trump will still walk away from the run nuclear deal, despite their friendship. much more on all the news any time on the bbc website.

goodbye for now. hello there. well, wednesday was a classic april day — sunny spells and heavy april showers. these big cumulonimbus clouds developing through the day, bringing downpours, some hail, and some thunder. and this gorgeous weather watch picture from sue in wakefield shows one of those cumulonimbus clouds decaying in the sunset. now, as we head through the night and into thursday morning, our showers will still be pouring in from the west or north—west direction, on a fairly brisk breeze, as well. but by the end of the night, and into thursday morning, they will become confined more to western areas, whereas much of eastern scotland, central, southern and eastern england and wales should be largely dry with clear spells. it's going to be quite a chilly start to thursday, temperatures for many into low to mid single figures. but it does mean thursday starts off on a bright note, albeit rather chilly. there'll be lots of sunshine through the morning.

showers from the word go across western areas will filter eastwards once again. but the difference for thursday is that there will be far fewer showers around wednesday. and in fact, much of england and wales will be largely dry, particularly central, southern and eastern parts, with temperatures reaching 15, maybe 16 celsius. but again, feeling quite fresh further north, and west, especially where those showers are. heading into friday, looking to the south—west to this area of low pressure, which is going to move into the south—west of the uk, bringing increasing amounts of rain through the day here, some of it quite heavy, strengthening winds, as well. it looks like, at this stage, it's going to spread across much of england and wales, perhaps not the very far north of england. for scotland and northern ireland, here, another day of sunshine and showers. maybe even some wintriness or hail over the higher ground. and it's going to feel much cooler as well, temperatures of 8—12 celsius. it's going to feel pretty miserable when that rain moves in. and not much changing into the weekend. it looks like it's going to be unsettled, because we have to hold onto low pressure.

most of the rain will be across southern and eastern parts of the country. there will be some sunny spells around, as well, and it's set to turn windy, especially across the south—east. this is saturday's picture, then. not a bad day for many northern and western areas. a few showers around in scotland, some of them heavy and wintry over the hills. but not a bad day, like i mentioned, with some sunshine. a bit of cloud across the south—east. temperatures again on the cool side — 8—12 celsius. and then, as we head into sunday, looks like that area of low pressure could return to the south—east of the country to bring some heavy and persistent rain, and also the winds picking up here, with gale—force gusts of 50 or 55 mph, could cause disruption. better weather further north and west, with a greater chance of seeing some sunshine, but again it's going to feel on the cool side. this is bbc news, the headlines: emmanuel macron has praised the excellent relationship between france and the us at the end of his state visit. but he's told a press conference he believes president trump will still walk away from the international deal that limits iran's nuclear ambitions. addressing congress earlier, he also attacked mr trump's policies on trade and the environment.

thousands of people in germany from different faiths and backgrounds have joined anti—semitism rallies across the country in protest at a spate of violent attacks. many non—jews wore skullcaps, the kippah, as a sign of solidarity. california police have arrested a former police officer the leaders of north and south korea are set to meet on friday for the first time in a decade. top of president moon's agenda will be persuading kimjong—un to give up his nuclear weapons. the pair will also plant a tree to commemorate the meeting before announcing a joint agreement. now on bbc news, it's time for click. this week, near miss...
