hello, this is breakfast, with louise minchin and charlie stayt. a symbolic moment in world history. kim jong—un becomes the first north korean leader in 65 years to enter south korea. he met south korea's president moon for talks in the early hours of this morning, with the two men crossing into each other‘s territories. good morning. it is friday 27 april. also this morning: bill cosby, three words for you — guilty, guilty, guilty! bill cosby, one of america's biggest tv stars, could end his life injail after he was found guilty of three counts of sexual assault. it has been a nightmare week for tsb, and the bank's it problems are not over yet.

i will have all the latest on what is still going wrong. in sport: arsenal suffer another frustrating night in europe, as they concede a late equaliser at home, to ten—man athletico madrid, in the first leg of their europa league semi—final. and matt is at hadrian's wall with the weather. good morning. good morning indeed. i am at the roman fort right beside hadrian ‘s wall, where recent archaeological finds tell us more about life along the wall and will be revealed later today. it is a glorious start here, not the same everywhere. lots of rain in the forecasts, especially for england and wales. i will have all the details in 15 minutes, see you then. good morning. first, our main story: the leaders of north and south korea have met for the first time in over a decade. in unprecedented scenes, the pair held hands and symbolically stepped twice over the concrete blocks at the line that officially

marks the border between the two countries. kim jong—un and president moon jae—in greeted one another for a summit between the two countries which carries on throughout the morning. the white house said it hoped the talks between the two leaders would lead to peace and prosperity for the entire peninsula. the whole of south korea stood still for the moment the leaders shook hands. andrew plant reports. a north korean leader setting foot in south korea for the first time since the korean war, more than six decades before. kim jong—un shaking hands with the president of south korea, the start of a historic meeting with international interest high, in a secretive regime that is, suddenly, seemingly more accessible. the finest details already defined. they will face each other across

2018 millimetres of table, symbolising the year, and overlooking the meeting, a mountain, the symbol of reconciliation, designed to reflect the summit‘s slogan, peace, a new start. we should have a positive meeting, he says, and positive results, and going forward we should be determined to meet more frequently, and then we can make up for lost time. the world's major powers will be watching. north korea's nuclear programme part of the focus, kim jong—un has indicated a willingness to stop testing, but will that translate to an end to its weapons programme, or is this part of north korea's entrance onto the international stage as an established nuclear power? proposed talks with president trump could come in the future, a meeting with the chinese leader has already happened. today's meeting the result of months of improving relations

between north and south, two countries still technically at war. this meeting ending with speeches and a treepla nting this meeting ending with speeches and a treeplanting ceremony using soil and waterfrom and a treeplanting ceremony using soil and water from both sides of the border. after years of increasing tension between the two countries, a relatively sudden softening and many will hope a more open and receptive north korea. andrew plant, bbc news. our correspondent rupert wingfield—hayes is at the north—south korean border. very good morning to you. such extraordinary scenes we have just witnessed. no one knew in advance quite how this would play out, in terms of the choreography. that's right. we were expecting that historic moment when kim jong—un got out of his limousine on the northern

side of the demarcation line which divides panmunjom, the peace village in the demilitarised zone behind me here. and for him to walk across. what we didn't expect an apparently wasn't in the plant was him to grab president moonjae—in‘s wasn't in the plant was him to grab president moon jae—in‘s hand wasn't in the plant was him to grab president moonjae—in‘s hand and together hot act over the demarcation line, together, holding hands, and then comes out again. so that was a little spontaneous moment, we are told. and it certainly so far is the real moment of this morning here in south korea, with everybody watching. and the whole country here in south korea has stopped, including most schoolchildren, to watch that welcoming and the opening of that summit, and it has been loaded with symbolism. the room they sit in has a mountain that represents symbolism, the honour guard that greeted them was wearing traditional korean greeted them was wearing traditional korea n costu mes greeted them was wearing traditional korean costumes rather than south korean costumes rather than south korean military uniforms. so lots and lots of symbolism, lots of warm words, lots of pleasantries. we understand, according to south

korean government officials, that kim jong—un even joked during korean government officials, that kimjong—un evenjoked during their first meeting the president moon that he was sorry for keeping him awake so many nights with his missile tests. —— president moon. so the atmosphere is very, very warm, but of course, very difficult negotiations ahead, especially over the north korea nuclear weapons issue. is he willing to give up his nuclear weapons? thank you very much. in so many ways it is a historic moment and we will be talking about it throughout the morning on bbc breakfast. the american comedian bill cosby is facing up to 30 years injail after being found guilty of three counts of sexual assault. the 80—year—old was the first major black actor on a us prime—time tv show, and is best known for starring in the 1980s tv series the cosby show. around 60 women have publicly accused cosby of sexual abuse, and some of them were in court to hear the verdict. this from our north america reporter nada tawfik. bill cosby‘s accusers were overcome

with emotion after the verdict was read. this moment was once unthinkable, but now a reality. they rejoiced because bill cosby will now go to prison for his crimes. equally, because the women who spoke out against him were finally believed. we were so full of emotion. our emotion was exploding like a volcano. we were trying to hold in our gasps ofjoy, of disbelief, because we weren't expecting that. for years, allegations against the comedian fell on deaf ears, never denting his lova ble, fell on deaf ears, never denting his lovable, wholesome image. he was the most watched man on television, and upstanding moral figure, america's dad. in recent years, more than 50 women came forward to accuse the comedian. but andrea's case was the only one that could be prosecuted. last summer, the first trial ended with the jury deadlocked after 50

hours of deliberations. justice has been done! this time, the second trial took place after the me too movement swept the country and five additional accusers were allowed to give evidence. you'll cosby has managed to maintain his emotions throughout the style, but after the judge was ordered to immediately detained him, bill cosby let out a profanity in frustration. this was a stunning fourth amendment was such a treasured part of american culture. bill cosby may now spend the rest of his life in prison. now as a reviled former star. the parents of the seriously ill toddler alfie evans are hoping to take him home, following their long legal battle with alder hey children's hospital. his father, tom evans, who has been fighting to take his 23—month—old son for treatment in italy, has said the family wants to be left alone to build a relationship with the hospital, and provide alfie with the dignity

and comfort he needs. there is more criticism of the home office this morning, with 35 nhs trusts accusing immigration officials of putting patient safety at risk by blocking visas for around 100 indian trainee doctors. the medics were due to start work this september, but the their visa applications were rejected because the quota for skilled migrants was already filled. the home office says that around a third of available visas already go to the nhs. the number of parking tickets issued to drivers on private land has risen to a record high. of 5.7 million in the uk — a million more than the previous year. new figures from the rac foundation shows firms are issuing a parking notice every six seconds, which means they could be demanding more than £500 million in totalfrom drivers. the government has promised a new code of practice. plans are being made for donald trump to meet the queen when he visits the uk on 13july. while talks with theresa may will be high on the agenda, it is his audience with the queen

that is likely to grab the most attention. the bbc understands that they will meet either at buckingham palace or windsor castle. following the news that the duke of cambridge is to be prince harry's best man, have you been wondering what the stag weekend may involve? a group of royal lookalikes have some suggestions. they set sail along london's regent's canal in a hot tub. as the queen looks on from the shore, the brothers enjoy drinking campagne and playing the drinking game beer—pong. and if you joined us midway through that peace, we should establish once again, that wasn't the real royal family. it was lookalikes.

again, that wasn't the real royal family. it was lookalikeslj again, that wasn't the real royal family. it was lookalikes. i know they are lookalikes, but they do look alike. i am not sure about the one in the middle with the white clothes on, was that a waiter or prince charles? a bit of artistic licence there. definitely the real louise and charlie, and the real mike bushell. i think so, i am never quite sure. definitely the real arsense wenger, and a very real feeling of frustration. it was arsene wenger‘s final home match in europe, and it went the way of so many before it. they took the lead, against ten—man atletico madrid in the first leg of their europa league semi—final. but a late antoine griezmann goal has given the spanish side the advantage going into next week's second leg. could wembley stadium be the new home of an american football team? the fa are considering an offer of £900 million to sell to the owner of the jacksonville jaguars. they say, if the sale does go through, it would allow greater investment in grassroots football. world numberfourjudd trump is the last man through to the second

round of the world snooker championship. only just, though — pushed to a final—frame decider by chris wakelin. he will play ricky walden next. and st helens extended their advantage at the top of super league, after thrashing salford red devils 60—10. ben barba grabbed a hat—trick for the saints, who have scored 126 points in their last two games. plenty more in the papers in a moment on the wembley sell—off story. it is causing waves, isn't it? is that a fair assessment? we will talk more about that in just a moment. matt is at hadrian's wall for us this morning, where recent archeological finds have revealed more about life along the famous wall. and you are witnessing the most extraordinary sunrise. isn't itjust beautiful? a lovely start to the day here in cumbria. very good morning

to you. we are actually at the fort along hadrian ‘s wall this morning. the visitor centre opens here today, and revealed as well for the first time will be two nation earns discovered just near this site. what is important about them? well, they are ofa is important about them? well, they are of a woman and a five—year—old child. they were found that intersecting graves nearby, and the reason that is important is this is all we see is preserved of family life along with heavily fortified wall back about 2000 years ago, just short of that. we will have more on that throughout the morning, but a lovely start here, but quite chilly one. let's take a look the forecast. a chilly start across the uk, some starting the day better than others. a lot of rain to come across some parts of england and wales. much brighter skies for scotland, northern ireland and the far north of england as well. one or two showers, showers in the far north of

scotla nd showers, showers in the far north of scotland to start the day. a bit of cloutier, but elsewhere across southern and western scotland, also towards shetland and across parts of northern ireland, a cracking start to the day. lou skies ahead. a bit ofa to the day. lou skies ahead. a bit of a chilly one, temperatures close to freezing in many areas. north korea and northumberland also enjoying the. today, the rest of england and wales, more rain. one or two showers in the north—west. most doormat most will stay dry. the bulk of the wet weather pushing into the midlands, wales and south—west england. towards the south—west of england, to go with the wet weather to start the day, we have strong and gusty winds as well. between 30 and a0 mph gusts. not a huge amount of rain to begin with, we will see some wet weather developers that area of rain spreads its way eastwards. here we will have a little bit of rightness. temperatures of around 13 degrees and we could see closer that across parts of scotland and northern ireland, especially southern scotla nd ireland, especially southern scotland and northern ireland, but across eastern scotland the showers

could be heavy and thundery. through tonight, the rain gradually peters out for much of england and wales. it will remain fairly cloudy and damp. clea rest skies it will remain fairly cloudy and damp. clearest skies in the far north of england, scotland and northern ireland. only one or two continued showers, a touch of frost into saturday morning. the weekend sta rts into saturday morning. the weekend starts to a certain degree the way it has been today, with scotland, northern ireland and the far north of england enjoying the best of the sunshine. in scotland we see some heavy showers developing. there will be some patchy rain and drizzle here in debt, the odd shower, and western areas will brighten up later. temperatures not far off today's values, some parts in single figures across eastern england. in the sunday it is a similar picture once again. the best of the weather to be found further north and west you are, with some sunny spells. cloud increasing across eastern parts of england through the day. the wind picks up and we will see rain pushing into the south—east by the time you towards the evening. feeling chilly across eastern areas on sunday, and to give you a quick

heads up, to take us into monday, it will be a stinker of a day across some parts of central and eastern england, with temperatures potentially around five or six celsius, and one or two on the hills could see some is elite and extend. winter is not done with us yet. let's ta ke let's take a look at today's papers. the sun. obviously, football, wembley. you can see why it has attracted the attention of the front page. you are the man they nickname the man with the cash. we want to buy wembley. he wants the jacksonville jaguars to have a better base in the uk. they did a

poll. 70% of people think it is a crime to sell the crown jewels of english will bowl. you could get excellent coaching systems, lots of things. —— football. in germany in 2000 there were going to build a new national stadium. they did so bad at the european championships they said put it into grassroots football and get them to transform their pitches. world champions a few years later. it will not make a huge amount of difference, like gary lineker said. i was trying to make a joke about the americans coming here. this is about the president's visited the uk. july, friday 13th. the question

mark is how it will work. many papers are interested in that. he will meet the queen. the details are not all set. i have bits and pieces. we are talking about tsb and what's going on. eight days of problems. we had some comments yesterday on fivelive. frank did an interview with the boss. he admitted they were oi'i with the boss. he admitted they were on their knees but would come back fighting. extraordinary, what has been happening. what is incredible when you talk to experts is it is incredible this does not happen that often. they have legacy systems. rbs has systems from the 705. more often. they have legacy systems. rbs ha5 systems from the 705. more on that later. the front page of the times newspaper as well. you can see

amber rudd accused of deliberately widening tory divisions over brexit yesterday. she was questioned about some of the specifics about brexit and the vote of the mps. things are slightly at odds, what she said, with elsewhere. the inside pages. we know that william will take revenge on harry, the best man. a couple of former england players going to proper management. steven gerrard ha5 proper management. steven gerrard has been linked with the job at ranger5 has been linked with the job at rangers and sol campbell with ip5wich. rangers and sol campbell with ipswich. what is the track record of football players turned managers. who did the best? most of the greats have played. sir alex ferguson played with aberdeen. it does not

a lwa ys played with aberdeen. it does not always work. steven gerrard, you would certainly feel... he was part of the coaching academy with the youngsters. sol campbell, yeah... a highly talented player. could it tra nsfer to highly talented player. could it transfer to the dressingroom ? highly talented player. could it transfer to the dressingroom? one more. yesterday we were talking about... sorry, iwill carry more. yesterday we were talking about... sorry, i will carry on. yesterday we were talking about... mike listens to me... there is a divide down the middle of you two. we we re divide down the middle of you two. we were talking yesterday at about artificial intelligence and the rise of robots. i want to show you some 5illine55 from japan. thi5 of robots. i want to show you some 5illine55 from japan. this is a prie5t at a prayer at a row of sony

robot5 waiting for funerals. and owner5 robot5 waiting for funerals. and owners of these defunct dog5 5end5 them toa owners of these defunct dog5 5end5 them to a repair shop to be harvested for parts, but not before a prayer for them. images coming out of the extraordinary events this morning between north korea and south korea, their leaders meeting. but they are not on the front pages because it happened in the early hours this morning. this is peace house. the talks are currently under way here. the striking image is the two of them holding hands and walking from one side of the demarcation line between the two

koreas to the other. bill cosby, the man known to millions as "america's dad," seems destined to end his days in jail following his conviction of sexual assault. after years of allegations and denials, the verdict of a pennsylvania jury was unanimous. manuel roig—fra nzia from the washington post was in the courtroom and joins us now. thank you for your time this morning. you were in the court room where the verdict was announced. can you give us a where the verdict was announced. can you give us a sense where the verdict was announced. can you give us a sense of what that moment was like? very dramatic. we heard from the back of the courtroom this just heard from the back of the courtroom thisjust explosion of heard from the back of the courtroom this just explosion of grief. women who had come to watch the proceedings for days just exploded in sobs, crying, they were escorted out of the courtroom. even outside you could still hear them crying outside the hallway despite the fact there were these big wooden doors. it was like a soundtrack for the

final words of the verdict. we are looking at pictures of bill cosby as he was leaving the courtroom. could you describe his demeanour as the verdict was read out? he is somewhat remarkable in that he is an 80—year—old man sitting through very long days, a very long trial, showing amazing stamina, but today, as we saw this verdict come in, i saw something different in his face. he looked tired with a sunken face and heavy eyelids. he was stoic, but then erupted in anger at the prosecutor when the prosecutor asked bail be revoked saying he could flee

ona bail be revoked saying he could flee on a private plane. he yelled out a shocking shout in which he said a profanity, saying that the prosecutor did not know what he was talking about. it was a remarkable moment chris usually there is so much decorum in the court room, and you saw this anger and violence from bill cosby we had not seen in the last 2.5 weeks. —— moment because. could you look forward for us? his legal team have already said they will appeal. but in the meantime, we await the sentencing hearing. he is allowed to go home over that period of time. yes. however, home has a limited meaning in this context. he has been ordered to stay at his home in elkons park, a suburb of

philadelphia. this is a man who is used to flying around the world and the us in private planes in the lap of luxury, as they might say. he has a home in new york, in manhattan. has an estate in the country in massachusetts. he has a home in los angeles. he will not be allowed to go to those places while he waits the 60 to 90 days he will have to wait for the sentencing hearing. number of women gave evidence in this trial who were actually not pa rt this trial who were actually not part of the specific legal process. do you think there will be more cases now that emerged because of what has happened? cases now that emerged because of what has happened ?|j cases now that emerged because of what has happened? i think it is unlikely that there will be a large number, or even a small number, of criminal cases against bill cosby. and the reason for that is because of the statute of limitations that

exists in most states in the us regarding sexual assault and rape cases. this is ultimately the greatest legacy of this case, that women and advocates have gone to the legislatures in several states and got the laws changed. and now in those states there are either longer statute of limitations allowing women to make claims for more years or no statute of limitations. and at the end of the day, this could be the end of the day, this could be the final impact of what we saw happening in pennsylvania today. thank you for your time this morning. from the washington post, in the courtroom when the verdict was read out. we will have more on that later as well as what has been

going on in north korea and south korea. time now to get the news, travel, and weather where you are. the headlines will be back at 6:30. good morning from bbc london news. the government's management of a huge railfranchise which serves the capital has been "completely inadequate." that's according to a group of cross party mps which has scrutinised the operation of the thameslink, southern and great northern franchise. the public accounts committee found "appalling levels of delays and cancellations" and that passengers were paying the price for a "broken model." they were last in this equation and they should have been first. we need to improve railways. the government wa nted to improve railways. the government wanted to introduce this new rolling stock, knowing the trade unions would not like it. the government could have foreseen this and done something to ameliorate the impact and put passengers first. in response, the department of transport says the report

is "imbalanced" and makes "inaccurate claims." police have named the man who was murder in finsbury park on saturday. 20—year—old, kwasi anim—boadu, was fatal stabbed near seven sisters road in the early hours of saturday morning. another man was found nearby, also with stab wound. one man has been charged with possession of an offensive weapon and another has been arrest and bailed until later in may. police were called by the london ambulance service (las) at around 03:00 hrs on saturday, the 21st of april, to reports of a stabbing on seven sisters road. officers and london's air ambulance attended the scene. this sunday, two london rugby clubs will contest the first ever women's premier 15s final. harlequins and saracens will meet at ealing trailfinders ground with hopes the match will sell—out. the revamped league has seen record crowds across the country since it was launched in september. let's have a look at the travel situation now. this is the service report on the tubes. so far, so good. northbound traffic on the blackwall tunnel southern approach is slow

from the woolwich rd flyover here. ido i do not think that is the right picture at the moment. that is the next story we can tell you about. at the elephant and castle, the walworth road is closed s/bnd newington butts to elephant rd following a collision earlier near the elephant and castle rail bridge we saw there. let's have a check on the weather now. good morning. big apologies for the bad weather we are set to see at times in the next few days sunshine in short supply. today, outbreaks of rain from the south—west on and off through the morning. a rather wet start to the day. possibly something dry and bright in eastern areas in the late morning. more rain through the late morning. more rain through the afternoon. turning showery. heavy and enlightened patchy towards the end of the day. temperatures

will be disappointingly low. 10—13. quite cool for the time of year. the weekend, saturday, damp and drizzly. sunday, mostly dry during the day but then heavy rain during the day into monday. there is a warning for the heavy rain. a chilly north—easterly winds. on the top of the hills, we might even see a bit of sleet. hello, this is breakfast, with louise minchin and charlie stayt. coming up this morning: we will have the latest on the historic summit between north korea's kimjong—un and south korea's president, and ask what this means for the north's nuclear programme. we will ask if customers of tsb have any trust left in the bank's internet service, with half of them still unable to access their accounts. we will look at the impact on consumer confidence. ben drew, aka plan b, the rapper—cum—soul singer,

will be on the sofa to tell us how becoming a dad has changed his sound. here is a summary of today's main stories from bbc news: the leaders of north and south korea have met and held hands. in unprecedented scenes, they symbolically stepped twice over the concrete blocks at the line that officially marks the border between the two countries. kim jong—un and president moon met for the first summit between the two countries in more than a decade. the white house said it hoped the talks would lead to peace and prosperity. the american comedian bill cosby is facing up to 30 years injail

after being found guilty of three counts of sexual assault. the 80—year—old actor best known for the cosby show had been on trial for drugging and molesting former friend and basketball player andrea constand in 200a. around 60 other women have publicly accused cosby of sexual abuse. he now faces up to 30 years in prison. the parents of the seriously ill toddler alfie evans are hoping to take him home following their long legal battle with alder hey children's hospital. his father, tom evans, who has been fighting to take his 23—month—old son to italy for treatment, has said the family wants to be left alone to build a relationship with the hospital and provide alfie with the dignity and comfort he needs. the home office has come underfresh criticism after 35 hospital trusts accused officials of putting patient safety at risk by blocking visas for 100 trainee doctors from india. the overseas medics were offered

jobs as part of a postgraduate training scheme, but they have now been refused permission to work in the uk. here is our health correspondent dominic hughes. for the past nine months, this indian doctor has been working in the nhs, helping overcome a shortage of qualified doctors. highly skilled and motivated, she is studying to improve her own knowledge for when she returns home. she is part of the respected postgraduate training scheme that has now fallen foul of home office visa rules, and that could cost the nhs badly needed staff. and if there are people who are willing, and willing to help and grow, they are not out for your jobs. they are just willing to learn and willing to help you out for the crisis. help us help you. a letter sent on behalf of 35 nhs trusts involved in the training scheme says the decision will affect

patient care and safety, and run a risk of errors. expensive locums will be needed to plug gaps in rotas normally filled by trainees. and it goes on to say, given the pressures faced by the nhs, it is almost impossible to understand. the home office says that almost a third of the available visas already go to the nhs, and some roles such as emergency medicine are protected and never refused. but the nhs employers organisation believes that at least a00 doctors visas not on the protected list have been turned down since december. dominic hughes, bbc news. the number of parking tickets issued to drivers on private land has risen to a record high. new figures from the rac foundation shows firms are issuing a parking notice every six seconds, which means they could be demanding more than £500 million in totalfrom drivers. the government has promised a new code of practice. plans are being made for donald trump to meet the queen when he visits the uk on 13july. while talks with theresa may will be high on the agenda, it is his audience with the queen

that is likely to grab the most attention. the bbc understands that they will meet either at buckingham palace or windsor castle. train passengers in certain parts of the country are suffering untold misery, according to a group of mps. the public accounts committee said there had been a catalogue of failures in the management of the thameslink, southern and great northern franchises. the deparment of transport said the report was imbalanced and made inaccurate claims. mike is here with the sport. arsene wenger only has a few games before he leaves arsenal. the semi—final has not gone well so far. arsene wenger‘s final european night, in front of his home fans, had a familiar feel to it — frustration. despite having a man advantage for 80 minutes, arsenal could only manage a 1—1 draw with atletico madrid

in their europa league semi—final first leg. alexandre lacazette had given arsenal a deserved lead. but, despite controlling the game, they were left to rue their missed chances when antoine griezmann scored on the counter—attack to give madrid that all important away goal going into next week's second leg. the whole team is very disappointed, and down. so for us to have a chance to qualify, to get the disappointment out of the way, and repeat the desire and the confidence to go there and qualify. the american businessman who hopes to buy wembley stadium says he could complete the deal within eight weeks. shahid khan, who owns fulham football club and the jacksonville jaguars amercian football team, has offered £900 million for the stadium. let's cross to wembley and talk to our reporter lucinda adam. and lucinda, there has been a lot

of concern about this amongst fans. that's right, and it will give the faa that's right, and it will give the fa a lot to think about. he is offering £600 million for the stadium, and they can continue to run the hospitality business valued at £300 million. so that could be a huge cash injection to grassroots football, which could revolutionise the game for people, with ag pictures around the country, extra coaches and revamped facilities. but for many people, this is the home of british and english football. and a lot of fans are asking this morning, what is that going to mean for the future of england matches, for the fa cup final, and four other major trophies, if they had to share their stadium with an nfl team. and for the commercial uses that khan is

planning. england manager roy hodgson says it matches have to be played at other stadiums around the country, he wouldn't necessarily see that as a negative thing but some fa ns that as a negative thing but some fans have been reacting with fury overnight on social media. some fear the stadium could be renamed after an american sponsor, for example, under private ownership, and they question whether the money will actually reach grassroots football. not the loudest cry has been about public money which has been invested here. they want to see that payback. this was rebuilt in 2007 at a cost of £750 million, £a0 million of that came from public bodies funded by the british taxpayer —— they want to see that paid back. interesting comments from roy hodgson as well. more on that coming throughout the programme. super league leaders st helens stormed to another victory last night, this time thrashing salford red devils 60—10 at the aj bell stadium. ben barba was once again the star of the show. the australian completed his hat—trick after the interval, as saints ran riot.

the result means st selens have scored 126 points in their last two games. the last of the first—round matches at the world snooker championship proved to be the tightest, withjudd trump sneaking his way into the last 16. he let slip a comfortable lead to scrape past qualifier chris wakelin in a final—frame shootout. the world number four, a beaten finalist at the crucible in the past, faces ricky walden next. we have got a snooker fluke for you. this is northern ireland's mark allen with a treble, to take the final frame the session in his second—round match againstjoe perry. and finally, if you enjoy a round of golf, what would you consider a hazard? a bunker? deep rough? water? well, spare a thought for the professionals playing in the zurich classic in new orleans. america's talor gooch had and alligator to deal with on his first round in louisiana. he said on social media, "i like my life. i like it with all my limbs. so i stay away from those things." and on the golf course they keep

them very well fed. not with golfers! let's return to our main story. kim jong—un and the south korean president, moonjae—in, have come face—to—face at a summit in the demilitarised zone. in these dramatic pictures from earlier this morning, kim jong—un strides towards moonjae—in, his right arm outstretched. the two leaders come face—to—face at the border, a concrete block the only thing dividing them. joining hands, they shake for a few moments, while both remaining firmly in their own countries. kim jong—un can then be seen to invite the south korean leader over the border. the two then join hands once again and step over to the north to a round of applause before crossing the border once again to the south. rupert wingfield—hayes is at the north—south korean border for us this morning. just how significant is this meeting? we arejoined by we are joined by a we arejoined by a north korean specialist. we are hoping to speak to rupert wingfield—hayes shortly as well. so this happened overnight. it does seem unprecedented. how significant, and when you saw this happen, did you believe this was

happening? well, i have been commentating on the north korean nuclear crisis since the first one in1993, 19 9a. nuclear crisis since the first one in 1993, 19 9a. sol nuclear crisis since the first one in 1993, 19 9a. so i have a bit of history in terms of watching these. this is the third one between the leaders of north and south korea, but probably this is the most significant one. and the main reason is that the last two, one in 2001 in 2007, the united states were not on board with north and south korean rapprochement. and this time they are. as we all know from president trump's tweets, he seems to be fairly enthusiastic about what is going on. there is talk, more than talk, they have been preparing for a follow—up meeting between the united states and north korea, between kim jong—un and president trump. if that happens, all the players will be involved and there might be a chance of something really substantive coming out of this one. that is the difference, really, between this one and previous ones. and of those images you saw a moment ago, it is easy obviously to read too much into the imagery, at our correspondent is

telling us this morning that it wasn't planned that they would do the business that happens, the stepping across the line, the holding of hands. is it too easy to read something more into that than we might have been expecting? the sentiment that appears to come out of those pictures? i think you have probably answered your own question, it isa probably answered your own question, it is a bit easy to read a bit too much into it. that they could have played that more formally. much into it. that they could have played that more formallym much into it. that they could have played that more formally. it is designed to show... kim jong—un was a lwa ys designed to show... kim jong—un was always intended to walk into the south, and that is the first time a north korean leader would have done this. that is highly symbolic. it is more than symbolic. it is a substantive thing, because that would be prepared between the north korean and south korean senior diplomats, and it is meant to show we are making some progress here. the body language is very promising. they both... and that reflects the fa ct they both... and that reflects the fact that both countries, notjust

the leaders, but both countries want to try and do a deal. so it is symbolic, but also substantive as well. so yes, we can read too much into these things, but in this case, at this particular time, they are both trying to show that they can go forward on this. and this will be very important, not just for forward on this. and this will be very important, notjust for north and south koreans, but it has global significance, doesn't it? well, we think about what the press were talking about before christmas and the winter olympic games, people we re the winter olympic games, people were seriously talking about the potential, if not of a nuclear war, ofan potential, if not of a nuclear war, of an actual war on the korean peninsula. in that case, in britain we would have been affected. in 1953, british soldiers were killed in the war. it is likely if they had been a war involving the united states, although we would not have had to go into korea, because it is what nato calls and out of area conflict, it is not automatic, britain would have been asked to supply troops. and this is very

real. this was notjust hype of it, an accident or an escalation escalation of tensions through not anybody declaring war, but it could have taken japan, china, anybody declaring war, but it could have takenjapan, china, the united states, the uk, into a real war. so it isa states, the uk, into a real war. so it is a big difference, and it is a real difference. and that is what the south koreans should really be congratulated on, because they have taken congratulated on, because they have ta ke n ste ps congratulated on, because they have ta ken steps before congratulated on, because they have taken steps before the winter olympics, through the negotiations on the winter olympics, just to try and de— tension is. on the winter olympics, just to try and de- tension is. and what part did north korea's very bold and brazen statements, images, in connection with their firepower, have to do with the moment we are seeing now? many different things go into that. the nuclear programme is illegal in un law under the security council resolutions. that involved

multilateral sanctions, notjust resolutions. that involved multilateral sanctions, not just the us, a number of states. china, with which 90% of north korean trade goes through, they also put on sanctions. it has had a big effect. not as much as often reported. but they were not able to get much food because of pesticides affecting their own supply. thank you forjoining us this morning and watching those images with us today. fascinating. time to go to 5?" 5; wingfield—hayes time to go to rupert wingfield—hayes on the border in the dmz. we have talked about wider implications, but how does this impact south korea and north korea? it is hard to say what people in north korea will take away from this. we do not know what is

going on in the dmzjust a mile behind me here. we certainly know they have not been seen these pictures live. they will have a filtered look at what is going on. kim jong—un will look statesmanlike and important. it will make this look like has been welcomed as a glorious leader. that is my best guess. in the south, people are glued to this. across the south, schoolchildren were told they should stop and watch this moment as kim and moon crossed the border and everything this morning. the general atmosphere is one of hope and relief. there was realfear atmosphere is one of hope and relief. there was real fear in south korea and the could break out at the end of last year when president trump was talking seriously of a military strike against north korea. there is always tremendous concern about that because seoul is so close

to the border, only 30 miles from where i'm standing. huge relief, but they know it is the start of a difficult process. we have been here before and in the past it has fallen apart. optimism and hope but knowledge it will be hard. rupert grint i will now cross to matt. matt is at hadrian's wall for us this morning looking at what life was like for the women and children who lived around the famous roman reinforcement. a lovely start in cumbria. this is hadrian's wall built by emperor hadrian's wall built by emperor hadrian in six years. goes all the

way to the river tyne. it was to keep the barbarians at it. difficult to imaginejust how big the keep the barbarians at it. difficult to imagine just how big the wall was in the day but it was six metres in height. if you want to see what it looks like, there is a brand—new visitor centre opened by english heritage. there are artefacts found close to the wall as well. as you have seen, a glorious start to the day in cumbria. not the same everywhere. a chilly start. heavy rain at times in england and wales. the details in scotland. showers are mainly confined to the far north. cloud. eight chilly start in scotla nd cloud. eight chilly start in scotland and northern ireland. —— a.

temperatures are close to freezing. lifting nicely nicely under sunny skies. grey conditions in much of england and wales. showers in northern england. most places will be dry. heavy rain in wales, midlands, south—east england. much of southern england is wet. the rain is going further north. nine o'clock, it should be clear. then the whole rain band goes east through the day. wet and the midlands through much of the day. feeling cold. 7—8 degrees in the afternoon. 13 if you get brightness to the east of england. sunshine in scotla nd to the east of england. sunshine in scotland has northern ireland and the far north of england. it could be heavy and thundery in the afternoon. fading in the evening.

the rain goes away in england and wales as the time goes on. frost for the start of the weekend. saturday, the start of the weekend. saturday, the best of the sunshine in scotland and northern ireland and northern england. more cloud in east scotland tomorrow moring —— morning. heavy showers. grey and cool. with the wind a little bit breezy towards the south—east corner as well. a chill. the wind picking up in the south—east on sunday. better weather further north and south. cloud will increase. outbreaks of rain developing which will be heavy in the south—east. turning colder as the south—east. turning colder as the breeze picks up. southern england, not a great day. heavy rain. strong to gale—force winds.

you could even see some sleet on the hills as well. the forecast is not looking great for some. that is utterly unbelievable. what is going on in the world. millions of tsb customers still can't access their accounts online. victoria has the latest. it has been a while. what what is the progress report?|j it has been a while. what what is the progress report? i want to tell you. any time you go to the website it says "fix coming soon." people have been annoyed with it, and rightly so. it is the eighth day of this. it's been a nightmare week for tsb. on monday morning, its owners said a massive it upgrade that was supposed to happen over the weekend had been a success. how wrong they were, as you say, millions of its customers are having problems with online banking. with some unable to make payments, see their bank balance or get paid. the boss admits he doesn't know what

has gone wrong. mps are piling on the pressure as well. we have got some reports customers are getting compensation. it is hardly surprising many are considering switching banks. let's hear from a few of them. iam i am getting married in nine days and there is a lot to pay for in the weeks leading up to the wedding, as you can imagine. final bills, bits and bobs you have to buy. and i do not keep all of my money in my current account, it is all on my savings account and i transfer it as and when i needed. umm... the stress caused by this art rko as has been horrific. stress on top of stress. we are in a little suburb area. we are half a we are in a little suburb area. we are halfa mile we are in a little suburb area. we are half a mile away. that area is supposed to be complete by the end of next week. tsb, what are you playing it? beyond a joke.

of next week. tsb, what are you playing it? beyond ajoke. the communication, the lack of communication, the lack of communication, has been extremely pooh communication, has been extremely poor. i expect more from tsb. i do not know what to do. somebody waiting for money from me is getting annoyed. i waiting for money from me is getting annoyed. lam waiting for money from me is getting annoyed. i am extremely frustrated. i promise you know customers were hurt in the making of that clip. i hope she can get out of that atm for her wedding. they call themselves the listening bank. many customers are fed up with no answers. now yesterday, tsb's boss, paul pester, said he had brought in specialists from ibm to tackle the it problems. he also announced he was waiving any overdraft fees for april and raising the interest rate on its current account from 3% to 5%. although that's only on the first £1,500 you have in the account. but it could be next week before the problems are all solved.

tsb's website simply says a fix is "com' it's customers might be getting a bit sick of hearing that. yesterday morning, the chief executive said he was taking personal control of the crisis. when the team of global experts arrive at 8am in bristol this morning, they will work for me and get to the bottom of why we are having issues providing the service we should be able to provide to customers. it is unacceptable. when tsb is through the issue we will come back fighting. yeah. no update yet from how the ibm execs are getting on. we think perhaps we will hear something next week. the problems roll on through the weekend. and that woman has her wedding! the poor woman. hopefully she can get to the church on time. time now to get the news, travel, and weather where you are.

good morning from bbc london news. i'm victoria hollins. the government's management of a huge railfranchise which serves the capital has been "completely inadequate." that's according to a group of cross party mp's which has scrutinised the operation of the thameslink, southern and great northern franchise. the public accounts committee found "appalling levels of delays and cancellations" and that passengers were paying the price for a "broken model." passengers should come first. they were last in this equation and they should have been first. we need to improve railways. the government wanted to introduce this new rolling stock, knowing the trade unions would not like it. the government could have foreseen this and done something to ameliorate the impact and put passengers first. in response, the department of transport says the report is "imbalanced" and makes "inaccurate claims." police have named the man who was murder in finsbury park on saturday. 20—year—old, kwasi anim—boadu, was fatal stabbed near seven sisters road. another man was found nearby, also with stab wounds. one man has been charged

with possession of an offensive weapon and another has been arrested and bailed until later in may. this sunday, two london rugby clubs will contest the first ever women's premier 15s final. harlequins and saracens will meet at ealing trailfinders ground with hopes the match will sell—out. the revamped league has seen record crowds across the country since it was launched in september. let's have a look at the travel situation now. on the tube theres a part suspension on the jubillee line between stanmore and wembley park with minor delays on the rest of the line following an earlier power failure. northbound traffic on the blackwall tunnel southern approach is slow from the woolwich rd flyover. you can see that there.

at the elephant and castle, the walworth road is closed s/bnd newington butts to elephant rd following a collision earlier near the elephant and castle rail bridge. let's have a check on the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. hello. good morning. and big apologies for the bad weather that we're set to see at times in the next few days. sunshine in very short supply, i'm afraid. today, outbreaks of rain from the south—west on and off through the morning. a rather wet start to the day. but possibly something more dry and bright in eastern areas in the late morning. would not hang your hat on it. more rain through the afternoon. turning showery. heavy, then lighter and patchier towards the end of the day. temperatures will be disappointingly low. 10-13. quite cool for the time of year. the weekend, saturday, damp and drizzly. sunday, mostly dry during the day but then heavy rain during the day into monday. there is a warning for the heavy rain.

a chilly north—easterly winds. on the top of the hills, we might even see a bit of sleet. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now, though, back to the sofa. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast, with louise minchin and charlie stayt. a symbolic moment in world history. kim jong—un becomes the first north korean leader in 65 years to enter south korea. he met south korea's president moon for talks in the early hours of this morning, with the two men crossing into each other‘s territories. good morning, it is friday 27 april. also this morning: bill cosby, three words for you — guilty, guilty, guilty! bill cosby, one of america's biggest

tv stars, could end his life injail after he was found guilty of three counts of sexual assault. it's been a nightmare week for tsb, and the bank's it problems are not over yet. we've been talking to customers who are still affected. i'll have the latest on what's gone wrong. in sport: late drama at the emirates, as arsenal blow the chance to take control of their europa league semi—final against ten—man atletico madrid. and matt is at hadrian's wall with the weather. there has been a beautiful sunrise this morning. good morning, there certainly has been. i am in among the room ruins at the roman fort. there is plenty of rain across england and wales, and more of that

to come over the next few days. i will have your full forecast in 15 minutes. see you then. good morning. first, our main story: the leaders of north and south korea have met for the first time in over a decade. in unprecedented scenes, the pair held hands and symbolically stepped twice over the concrete blocks at the line that officially marks the border between the two countries. kim jong—un and president moon greeted one another for a summit between the two countries which carries on throughout the morning. the white house said it hoped the talks between the two leaders would lead to peace and prosperity for the entire peninsula. the whole of south korea stood still for the moment the leaders shook hands. rupert wingfield—haye reports. it was a moment few could have imagined taking place herejust a few months ago. kim jong—un, stepping onto south korean soilfor the first time ever. and then an

unexpected twist, as kim grabbed president moonjae—in by the hand. together, the two leaders stepped back for a moment on the north korean territory. the opening of this summit has been heavy with symbolism. the military honour guard, dressed in traditional korean outfits, not south korean military uniforms. on the wall of the meeting room, a huge painting of the mountain, an emblem of national unity. and as the meeting opened, both leaders spoke passionately of the need for peace. you are the first one who crossed the demarcation line, mr kim, the committee chairperson. this is a symbol of the peace. translation: i came here with a mindset to send a starting signal at this threshold of new history, of peace and prosperity. the mood of optimism here is palpable, at warm words will not be enough to bring peace. it is

barely four months since kim jong—un launched this huge new missile, perhaps capable of hitting the united states. ahead of the summit, he promised to stop further nuclear and long—range missile testing, but thatis and long—range missile testing, but that is very far short of a real commitment to negotiate away this nuclear arsenal. these are the latest live pictures from the summit. the building you see is the peace house in south korea, and this is where the talks are taking place. they have been in there for some time now. we don't have any idea of the timescales, just how long they will be speaking for, but that is the venue inside. the two delegation sitting opposite one another at a big table within the building there. earlier, mr kim wrote in a guestbook at the peace house: "a new history begins now — at the starting point of history and the era of peace".

a really symbolic moment in the early hours of this morning. we will continue talking about it on bbc brea kfast, continue talking about it on bbc breakfast, and analysing as much as we can the body language of the leaders. we knew that kim jong—un was going to come into south korea, but he then invited president moon to step back over the barrier into north korea. we will be speaking to our correspondent who witness the scenes in a few minutes' time. the american comedian bill cosby is facing up to 30 years injail after being found guilty of three counts of sexual assault. the 80—year—old was the first major black actor on a us prime—time tv show, and is best known for starring in the 1980's tv series the cosby show. around 60 women have publicly accused cosby of sexual abuse, and some of them were in court to hear the verdict. here is our north america reporter nada tawfik.

bill cosby‘s accusers were overcome with emotion after the verdict was read. this moment was once unthinkable, but now a reality. they rejoiced because bill cosby will now go to prison for his crimes — equally, because the women who spoke out against him were finally believed. we were so full of emotion. our emotion was exploding like a volcano. we were trying to hold in our gasps ofjoy, of disbelief, because we weren't expecting that. for years, allegations against the comedian fell on deaf ears, never denting his lovable, wholesome image. he was the most—watched man on television, an upstanding moral figure, america's dad. in recent years, more than 50 women came forward to accuse the comedian. but andrea constand's case was the only one that could be prosecuted. last summer, the first trial ended with the jury deadlocked after 50 hours of deliberations. justice has been done!

this time, the second trial took place after the me too movement swept the country, and five additional accusers were allowed to give evidence. bill cosby has managed to contain his emotions throughout this trial. but, after the verdict was read, when the prosecution asked the judge to immediately detain him, bill cosby let out a profanity in frustration. this was stunning for a man who was such a treasured part of american culture. bill cosby may now spend the rest of his life in prison, now as a reviled former star. there is more criticism of the home office this morning, with 35 nhs trusts accusing immigration officials of putting patient safety at risk by blocking visas for around 100 indian trainee doctors. the medics were due to start work this september, but their visa applications were rejected because the quota for skilled migrants was already filled. the home office says that around a third of available visas already go to the nhs.

the number of parking tickets issued to drivers on private land has risen to a record high. the rac foundation says that 5.7 million tickets were issued last year — a rise of a million. victoria is here to tell us more. there is a lot of money involved in this, as well. a huge amount of money. although councils in england and wales still issue more fines in total, something like eight million a year, the private parking business is catching up with that. it is 5.7 million at the moment, and what is happening is they are now issuing them pretty much every six seconds across the country, and they are pretty hefty fines. we are talking up pretty hefty fines. we are talking up to £100, for a very minor contravention like overstay your welcome by just contravention like overstay your welcome byjust a few minutes' time. and if you run those numbers it

could mean that they are making up to £500 million as a result of this. the number of these private tickets has risen as a result of the ban on clamping on private land in 2012, so they have had to find another way to make money. and it looks like they are. these numbers are where they have had to chase the details for the car owners. it could be bigger still, because we're not talking about where they have actually seen it and slapped the fine on the car themselves. we are not even talking about those numbers. lots of these are being overturned on appeal. about 60% of drivers, when they get one of these, decide that they are going to try and appeal it, and the majority of them are successful. so it is worth investigating, fighting out whether they there were things like poor signage involved, inconsistent practices, it is one of the most significant things in the citizens‘ advice bureau. a new code of practice is being recommended for the industry. plans are being made

for donald trump to meet the queen when he visits the uk on 13july. while talks with theresa may will be high on the agenda, it is his audience with the queen that is likely to grab the most attention. the bbc understands that they will meet either at buckingham palace or windsor castle. following the news that the duke of cambridge is to be prince harry‘s best man, have you been wondering what the stag weekend may involve? i have two alert everybody, these are lookalikes. a group of royal lookalikes have some suggestions. they set sail along london‘s regent‘s canal in a hot tub. you can see the idea, they are having a jolly time. we don‘t know what the stag do will be, if they will be one. this is a group of actors, and lookalikes, just possibly re—enacting... actors, and lookalikes, just possibly re-enacting. .. re-enacting or imagining. specifically not

re—enacting, imagining something that probably won‘t look like that. 0f of course, what has been going on in north and south korea is not in the newspapers. the daily mail talks about donald trump and his visit to the uk, saying he could meet theresa may and the queen, but there are indications he could avoid london because of protests. and pictures of bill cosby, of course, after he has been found guilty yesterday, and he is quite old now and has been sentenced to 30 years so they are saying he could die injail. on sentenced to 30 years so they are saying he could die in jail. on the front page of the daily telegraph, donald trump once again. we don‘t know the details of the trip yet, but no doubt more will emerge. and the other thing is, lots of the papers leading on the idea that

wembley stadium may be sold to an american football tycoon. and this is the way the sun have written it up. lots of fans will have their own point of view, but feel free to get in touch —— the sun. point of view, but feel free to get in touch -- the sun. and we will be speaking to our correspondent rupert wingfield—hayes in south korea in a moment. those talks are ongoing. i don‘t know if we can see the live images of the building where the talks are taking place. it has been an extraordinary morning this morning. we saw that handshake. some of it was highly choreographed, the meeting itself, but there were moments that experts were saying they hadn‘t expected, the two leaders stepping into each other‘s countries across those concrete blocks. now they are inside the building, the peace house, as it is called, where those talks are ongoing. we will get live updates and have a think about some of those scenes we saw this morning in a few minutes‘ time. scenes we saw this morning in a few minutes' time. in the meantime, we

know it is a lovely day at hadrian‘s wall. we will have a look at the weather and what life was like for the women and children who lived around the famous roman reinforcement. good morning to you, wherever you are. at the moment i am in among the remains of the roman fort, these are the old stone house and granaries, which could store up to a year‘s worth of food for those in the garrison. while we don‘t predominantly think of hadrian ‘s wall and the roman fort is being very male dominated, military males, thatis, very male dominated, military males, that is, recent findings have revealed that women and children we re revealed that women and children were believed to have lived around here as well. and some of the relics and clues to that will be on show at and clues to that will be on show at a brand—new visitor centre here at the roman fort which opens today, pa rt the roman fort which opens today, part of £1.8 million by england

heritage, heritage. maybe a little bit chilly at the moment, but things warming up through the day. taking a look at the forecast, it is chilly uk wide, but some are enjoying a better start to the others. we have sunshine out for some in them and wales, parts of scotland and northern ireland. england and wales a good deal cloudier and lots of rain around at the moment. if we ta ke rain around at the moment. if we take a look in the northern scotland, the showers there already and they will develop through the day. some turning heavier and thundery. blue skies towards the south—west of scotland, across northern ireland as well and in the likes of cumbria and northumberland. the rest of england and wales, great conditions. it is a thoroughly soaking start to the day across much of the midlands, and wales. by the tomic at the end of the rush—hour, things may brighten touch through the day. still some further showers expected, rain easing off from western parts of wales, south—west england, but remaining rather damp through much of the day in parts of

the midlands in particular. temperatures only seven or eight degrees through the afternoon. 13 in any brighter spells. a few heavy showers in eastern scotland but a lot of sunshine to come as well. as we go through into the evening and overnight, showers which could be thundery across eastern scotland will gradually fade away, and we will gradually fade away, and we will see some clearer skies develop. a touch of frost around for scotland and the far north of england to take us and the far north of england to take us into tomorrow morning. england and wales a lot more cloud, that will keep the temperature is up. still a bit damp and a few spots, especially further east into east anglia and the south—east. saturday sta rts anglia and the south—east. saturday starts in almost a similar sort of split as today, but where we have the cloud across england and wales it will not be quite as wet as we have got today. some rain and drizzle at times and western fringes of england and wales may brighten up at times into the afternoon, with some sunshine. scotland and northern ireland enjoying the best of the sunny spells, some afternoon showers, some of those could be heavy and thundery. temperatures very similar to what we have seen

through today. similar sorts of values to take us through to sunday. always feeling cool where we have the cloud across parts of eastern england. another great day to come, the same in england. spots of rain and drizzle. the northern and western parts of the uk will continue to see some sunshine at times. a few showers in scotland but later in the day towards the south—east of the country we will see the winds really start to pick up. some heavy rain will develop and some very heavy rain through sunday night into monday. central, eastern and southern parts of england, not just rain. we could see sleet as well and on monday temperatures may only be about five or six degrees for some. a big difference from the 28 degrees we recorded this time last week. back to charlie and louise. let‘s return to our main story. kim jong—un and the south korean president, moonjae—in, have come face to face at a summit in the demilitarised zone. in these dramatic pictures from earlier this morning, kim jong—un strides towards moonjae—in, his right arm outstretched.

our correspondent rupert wingfield—hayes is at the north—south korean border. he then grabbed the hand of south korea‘s president, moon jae—in, he then grabbed the hand of south korea‘s president, moonjae—in, and holding hands together stepped for a moment whack across the line on the north korean soil, before turning around and coming over to the southern side and heading off to their meeting. we understand from their meeting. we understand from the south korean government that that was not part of the script, that was not part of the script, that they were taken a little bit off guard by it, that it was a happy, friendly, spontaneous moment between the two presidents. on social media some people are describing it as muscular diplomacy by the north korean leader, in taking control of the situation, showing he was notjust going to follow what he was told to do by the south korean president. it is hard to interpret exactly what went on there, but what we have seen this morning, from both the south and the north is this extraordinary charm offensive to show the world that they can get along and talk peace, and that there can be progress towards ending the conflict here if the two countries can get together and really start this dialogue. as

you say, those are some of the images which will be going all around the world, and much attention on them. right now they are in those talks. just give us a sense of what might be expected to be discussed. well, they have actually stopped for lunch. we expect the talks to start againfairly lunch. we expect the talks to start again fairly soon but they have taken a break for lunch. again fairly soon but they have taken a breakfor lunch. in again fairly soon but they have taken a break for lunch. in the morning session we are told it was wide ranging and serious, according to the south korean government. they will have to have started talking about the issue of kim jong—un‘s nuclear arsenal, because this is really the crux of these talks, and the crux of what the rest of the world has a problem with, with the north korean regime. its development of long—range missiles and its development of nuclear weapons. and a question for everybody... kim jong—un has said ahead of these talks i will not test any more nuclear weapons, i will not test any more long—range missiles, but what

he hasn‘t said if i am prepared to put these on the table for negotiation, and that will be the crucial issue today. is he indicating he is prepared to negotiate his nuclear weapons? and ta ke negotiate his nuclear weapons? and take us through a couple more of the details, we understand some comments we re details, we understand some comments were written effectively and visitors‘ book, and some reference has been made to some of the comments between the two leaders as they first met. yes, i have just what he wrote in the visitor ‘s‘ book. very symbolic and charming, a new history beginning at the starting point of history and an era of peace is what kim jong—un wrote in the guestbook. we understand he made a joke during the morning session, saying the president moon, iam session, saying the president moon, i am sorry for waking you up early in the morning last year with all my missile test. a lot of people have picked up on that because it is a rather surprising thing to say as a joke to the south korean president. but a lot of people saying this is a very deliberate, very well

choreographed charm offensive by our leader who has threatened this country and his family has threatened this country, the 65 yea rs. threatened this country, the 65 years. rupert, thank you very much, rupert wingfield—hayes reporting on those scenes as they emerged in the early hours of this morning, and pausing for a moment and recommencing. the parents of the seriously ill toddler alfie evans are hoping to take him home following their long legal battle with alder hey children‘s hospital. his father, tom evans, who has been fighting to take his 23—month—old son to italy for treatment, has said the family wants to be left alone to build a relationship with the hospital and provide alfie with the dignity and comfort he needs. we now ask you to return to your everyday lives, and we wish to thank the hospital staff at every level for their dignity and professionalism, in what must have

been an incredibly difficult time for them as well. from this point onwards, there will be no more statements from me. interviews given, and we hope that you will respect this. thank you. joining us now is dr samantha batt—rawden, an intensive care doctor whose own baby son was critically ill last year. good morning to you. thank you so much forjoining us. you have a really unique perspective on this, from both sides. tel is a little bit about how you felt when your son became really seriously ill. thank you for having me. it was the most difficult time in our lives, really. it isa difficult time in our lives, really. it is a position i would not want any mother to be in. we were very lucky that, like alfie, my son joshua was looked after in a treasury specialist unit in southampton hospital and the medical

tea m southampton hospital and the medical team looking after him were expert in every way. i have no doubt that, if it wasn‘t for their expertise and their skills, and for the nhs, that he wouldn‘t have survived. i can com pletely he wouldn‘t have survived. i can completely sympathise with alfie‘s pa rents. completely sympathise with alfie‘s parents. his situation is heartbreaking, and as a mother, when your child‘s life is on the line, your child‘s life is on the line, you do everything you possibly can. soi you do everything you possibly can. so i don‘t think we can criticise them forfighting so i don‘t think we can criticise them for fighting as hard as they can on behalf of their child‘s life. and you are also a doctor as well, so were you conflicted in that time? while my son was in hospital? yes, i was. i found it while my son was in hospital? yes, i was. ifound it very while my son was in hospital? yes, i was. i found it very difficult, because i knew what all the numbers on the ventilator meant, and what the numbers on the blood tests meant. and i also knew the worst case scenario for everything. so i think it was hard at being a doctor, at the team were boundlessly patient, and took the time to

explain everything medically, but also explain everything as a mother to me. and putting your child‘s life in the hands of strangers is a really, really difficult thing to do. you are not able to do anything for them. the nurses looking after joshua washed him, change his nappy, fed him, and standing on the sidelines as a mother, you feel com pletely sidelines as a mother, you feel completely useless, and as a doctor, obviously, i could do nothing either. it was a very difficult time, but made much easier by a compassionate team. and we know that his father is now saying they want to build bridges between themselves and the medical team, and went out of their way to praise their work. is it of their way to praise their work. isita of their way to praise their work. is it a difficult relationship? between alfie‘s parent and... between alfie‘s parent and... between parent and a medical team when your son is through that kind

of intensive treatment.” when your son is through that kind of intensive treatment. i think generally we as doctors have good relationships with families, and paediatric intensive specialists are very highly trained and experienced in looking after and guiding families through the process of having a child in intensive care. u nfortu nately having a child in intensive care. unfortunately it is these kinds of cases where the relationship breaks down, which is uncommon, but gets reported in the media and they become very high—profile. reported in the media and they become very high-profile. the priorities for his family are to be with him at this point. tell us a little bit about your son. how is he doing now? he is doing really well, thank you. he is ten months old, he has a few ongoing issues, as you would expect, because he was so poorly and was ventilated for so long. if you look at him, hejust looks like a normal, chubby, smiling, healthy ten—year—old boy. and that is all down to the team in the nhs. do you think there is

anything we can usefully learn about experiences like alfie‘s family have been through, and having to go through the courts, and all the rest of it? is there anything we can learn ina of it? is there anything we can learn in a wider sense about how to deal with these kinds of cases? learn in a wider sense about how to deal with these kinds of ca5e57m has been a really difficult case for everyone, and that is a very good question. the ultimate issue lies in whether the parents have the ultimate right to say what is best for their child, and it is a very ha rd for their child, and it is a very hard truth to accept that the child‘s best interests have to be protected above all else, and that includes sometimes the very best intentions and the wishes of the pa rents. intentions and the wishes of the parents. and that is what we have two remember, in cases like this. thank you very much. i am glad that your son is doing well as well. this is the scene this morning along hadrian‘s wall.

matt is there for us with the weather, and he‘ll be looking at what life was like for the men, women and children who lived along the roman empire‘s north—western frontier. iam i am sorry, not talking to matt now. my i am sorry, not talking to matt now. my understanding is, even though it was 28 degrees, we have snow forecast in some places. matt will correct me if i am wrong. just proving that we do listen. it is beautifully set up. we will be with him a little bit later. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news. i‘m victoria hollins. the government‘s management of a huge railfranchise which serves the capital has been "completely inadequate" — that‘s according to a group of cross party mps which has scrutinised the operation of the thameslink, southern and great northern franchise.

the public accounts committee found "appalling levels of delays and cancellations" and that passengers were paying the price for a "broken model". passengers should come first. they were last in this equation and they should have been first. we need to improve railways. the government wanted to introduce this new rolling stock, knowing the trade unions would not like it. the government could have foreseen this and done something to ameliorate the impact and put passengers first. in response, the department of transport says the report is "imbalanced" and makes "inaccurate claims". police have named the man who was murdered in finsbury park on saturday. 20—year—old kwasi anim—boadu was fatally stabbed near seven sisters road. another man was found nearby, also with stab wounds. one man has been charged with possession of an offensive weapon and another has been arrested and bailed until later in may. let‘s have a look at the travel situation now. on the tube, there‘s a part suspension on thejubilee line between stanmore and wembley park with minor delays on the rest of the line following

an earlier power failure. district suspended turnham green and ealing broadway. and on the piccadilly line, there are severe delays between acton town and heathrow. northbound traffic on the blackwall tunnel southern approach is slow from the woolwich road flyover. the mao is down to one lane northbound from j1a m25 to j2 beaconsfield following two separate accidents in the area. its taking about a5 minutes to get through at the elephant and castle, the walworth road is closed southbound newington butts to elephant road following a collision earlier near the elephant and castle rail bridge. let‘s have a check on the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. and big apologies for the bad weather that we‘re set to see at times over the next few days or so. sunshine in very short supply, i‘m afraid.

today, we‘re looking at outbreaks of rain from the south—west. they‘ll be on and off through the morning, so it‘s a rather wet start to the day. but possibly something more dry and bright in eastern areas in the late morning. would not hang your hat on it. more rain through the afternoon. turning showery. heavy, then lighter and patchier towards the end of the day. temperatures will be disappointingly low, between 10—13 degrees celsius. quite cool for the time of year. the weekend, saturday, damp and drizzly. sunday, mostly dry during the daylight hours, but then some heavy rain during the day into monday, all day really. there is a met office warning for the heavy rain. a chilly north—easterly winds. over the top of the hills, we might even see a bit of sleet. i‘m back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now. hello — this is breakfast, with louise minchin and charlie stayt.

here‘s a summary of this morning‘s main stories from bbc news. the leaders of north and south korea have met and shook hands in unprecedented scenes they symbolically stepped twice over the concrete blocks at the line that officially marks the border between the two countries. kim jong—un and president moon met for the first summit between the two countries in more than a decade. the white house said it hoped the talks would lead to peace and prosperity. these are the latest live pictures from the summit. very simple at this moment today when they met on the border of these two countries. what we didn‘t know was that he was going to invite president moon to walk into north korea are just president moon to walk into north

korea arejust a president moon to walk into north korea are just a couple of moments also. really symbolic moments. we will be covering the programme on brea kfast will be covering the programme on breakfast this morning. the american comedian bill cosby is facing up to thirty years in jail after being found guilty of three counts of sexual assault. the 80—year—old actor best known for ‘the cosby show‘ had been on trial for drugging and molesting former friend and basketball player andrea constand in 200a. around 60 other women have publicly accused cosby of sexual abuse. he now faces up to thirty years in prison. there is more criticism of the home office this morning with 35 nhs trusts accusing immigration officials of putting patient safety at risk by blocking visas for around 100 indian trainee doctors. the medics were due to start work this september but their visa applications were rejected because the quota for skilled migrants was already filled. the home office says that around a third of available visas already go to the nhs. the number of parking tickets issued to drivers on private land has risen to a record high.

new figures from the rac foundation shows firms are issuing a parking notice every six seconds, which means they could be demanding more than half a billion pounds in totalfrom drivers. the government has promised a new code of practice. train passengers in certain parts of the country are suffering "untold misery", according to a group of mps. the public accounts committee said there had been a "catalogue of failures" in the management of the thameslink, southern and great northern franchises. the deparment of transport said the report was "imbalanced" and made "inaccurate claims". plans are being made for donald trump to meet the queen, when he visits the uk on july the thirteenth. while talks with theresa may will be high on the agenda, it‘s his audience with the queen that is likely to grab the most attention. the bbc understands that they will meet, either at buckingham palace or windsor castle. you up—to—date with all the latest

news. matt will be here with weather from hadrian ‘s wall. news. matt will be here with weather from hadrian 's wall. a possible sale of wembley. it caught the imagination. the papers, the public. can you sell the crownjewel, wembley stadium, to an american businessman? are they the sun. one thought is, will it be dominated by the american football team, the jacksonville jaguars. the fa cup could raise £900 million. loss of four g could raise £900 million. loss of fourg and could raise £900 million. loss of four g and three g pictures. in germany in 2000, they decided against building a national stadium and put all that money into grassroots. england might want to write little bit more. everybody agrees they would still be playing. it's an interesting debate.

the american businessman who hopes to buy wembley stadium says he could complete the deal within eight weeks. shahid khan, who owns fulham football club and the jacksonville jaguars american football team, has offered 900 million pounds. let‘s cross to wembley and talk to our reporter lucinda adam, and lucinda, it is really dividing opinion amongst fans and the football community. this could be a huge injection to the grassroots level of the sport. improving facilities. but the many fans, this is the home of english football. many are left asking what is going to happen to england matches, fa cup finals and other major trophy games if they have to share this ground with an nfl team. former manager roy hodgson has said

if england matches were played at other stadiums, he wouldn‘t necessarily see that as a negative thing that many fans are reacting angrily on social media. some have been faring in —— during this stadium could be renamed after an american sponsor. possibly the loudest criticism as being about the public money that was invested here. this stadium was rebuilt in 2007, including £a0 million of british taxpayers money. even the prime minister has weighed in on this. the fa wa nt minister has weighed in on this. the fa want to strongly consider the views of bands before deciding what to do next. arsene wenger‘s final european night in front of his home fans had a familiar feel to it — frustration. despite having a man advantage for 80 minutes, arsenal could only manage a 1—1 draw with atletico madrid in their europa league semi—final first leg. alexandre lacazette had given arsenal a deserved lead. but, despite controlling the game, they were left to rue their missed chances when antoine griezmann scored on the counter—attack, to give madrid that all—important away goal going into next

week‘s second leg. madrid have only conceded four girls all season. the chief executive of the football league says fans can create a powerful voice that should be heard in the bid to change the law around standing at grounds. shaun harvey wants clubs to have the option of having safe standing, and the efl are launching an online survey to get fans‘ opinions at 9:00am this morning. the government have so far resisted calls for change, saying only a vocal minority want standing areas. super league leaders st helens stormed to another victory last night, this time thrashing salford red devils 60—10 at the aj bell stadium. ben barba was once again the star of the show. the australian completed his hat—trick after the interval, as saints ran riot. the result means st helens have scored 126 points in their last two games.

the last of the first—round matches at the world snooker championship proved to be the tightest, withjudd trump sneaking his way into the last 16. he let slip a comfortable lead to scrape past qualifier chris wakelin in a final—frame shootout. the world number four, a beaten finalist at the crucible in the past, faces ricky walden next. we have got a snooker fluke for you. this is northern ireland‘s mark allen, with a treble, to take the final frame the session in his second—round match againstjoe perry. sometimes you just hit it and hope you see where have it goes. and finally, if you enjoy a round of golf, what would you consider a hazard? a bunker? deep rough? water? well, spare a thought for the professionals playing in the zurich classic in new orleans. america‘s taylor gooch, had an alligator to deal with on his first

round in louisiana. he said on social media, "i like my life. i like it with all my limbs. so i stay away from those things." it's it‘s agonising. keep your distance, it will golf on its own. you have plenty of space. thank you very much. thousands people will run 3.7 miles this weekend. why? it‘s in honour of the london

marathon competitor matt campbell, who died taking part in last sunday‘s event. 3.7 miles is how close matt was to the finish line when he collapsed. hundreds of thousands of pounds has now been raised for the charity he was running for. one run took place yesterday evening around ambleside, near to his home town. ian haslam was there. they arrive from across the lake district and beyond, from friends and loved ones to those who have never met matt campbell all sharing a common aim, to finishes marathon. he went miles and i think anyone it —— any runner just he went miles and i think anyone it —— any runnerjust wants to see the last little bit for him so it‘s an idea to say, come and join me. i was expecting a group of maybe ten people. instead, a man who became known to millions after appearing on masterchef the professionals. he was also a keen runner who was taking pa rt also a keen runner who was taking part in the marathon in memory of his father. i want to come down and show support to friends and family.

he isa show support to friends and family. he is a huge character. devastating. having to finish the race to him. and so their 3.7 mile run got under way. there are people running of all ages and abilities. some finishing under half an hour, others taking considerably longer, but none of that matters. what‘s important is what they are doing it for.” that matters. what‘s important is what they are doing it for. i guess today, we are running together as a community, running the final bit of the marathon which was left to do and to do it here and to finish bravely where we were. many more people across britain have pledged to compete their own runs over the coming days. the figure raised so far now stands at £198,000. let‘s talk to the brathay trust‘s chief executive, godfrey owen, from the charity that matt was running the marathon for, and you ran the 3.7 miles last night. its next ordinary thing. what‘s it

like from the charity‘s point of view? it's still early days. we are still reeling from the news. things are going so quickly. just because runners all over the world are taking the challenge of doing this 3.7 miles. you talk about the shock of what happened and it‘s terrible to matt‘s family. i know you have beenin to matt‘s family. i know you have been in contact with him. i can only imagine how their thoughts are, seeing how other people are reacting to what‘s been a very personal tragedy for the family. they came to the event in ambleside yesterday and was brave that they came. they were so proud just to the impact is having. and he was experienced? he

did the marathon in manchester, fit and healthy. it tells a bit about the relationship of the charity. matt‘s father had a long association with the charity. matt‘s father was the filmmaker. he really got to the transformation programmes that we run. he inspired his sons, josh and matt, to get involved with the charity. that is one that got involved with us. tel is a little bit about what this money will mean. sometimes it sounds a little trite to say that something good will have come out of this. but it‘s inevitable. i think he was hoping to raise £2500. the tragic circumstances that unfolded mean that your charity will benefit. how

about translating to what you will be able to do? things are moving fast. so we are talking to the family of match, trying to say, what can we do. it‘s a huge amount of money. the number of young people, aspirin shouts. matt was definitely interested in young chefs coming into the industry and mental health and resilience which is so important to adolescence. those are the programmes, the sort of legacy that he will leave. we know that he was a big star on masterchef. he had a big impact already, didn‘t he? he got to the semifinals of masterchef. my family feel it was a travesty. he had such great ideas. talking to his mum last night, who is very innovative, very forwardthinking. if we can get some that it was legacy, it will be great. driving beyond the

ongoing fundraising. in practical terms, people inspired by what you said, doing what his family have said. how does this work? on social media, this has come from social media. this is runners talking to each other saying, we would like to do something and do that 3.7 miles. it seems there are lots of groups around the country in the world who are getting together. some people are getting together. some people are doing it themselves. it‘s free much getting along to somewhere close to you. we wish the charity world. our condolences to his family. maybe keep us date on quite how the money will be used. it will be interesting to hear that. it's really important we talk to the family and make sure we do something significant. thank you very much

indeed. you are watching breakfast from bbc news. the main stories this morning: kim jong—un becomes the first north korean leader in 65 years to enter south korea for talks with president moon. the american comedian bill cosby is facing up to 30 years injail after being found guilty of three counts of sexual assault. isa is a lovely day for a run today. matt is at hadrian‘s wall for us this morning. iam out i am out in the east, along it, of course, there were a number of forts and this is the remains of one of them, a roman fort manned by about

500 or 1000 auxiliaries in each regiment, and it was thought to be the exclusive preserve of male military but recent excavations close to this site unveiled cremation urns of both women and a five—year—old, believed to be their child. that is an indication that more families were around the area than originally believed. it was built to keep barbarians from the north that day. in the south, the romans held fort and eventually the north west frontier moved further northwards towards parts of central scotland, with the building of another wall. it is a glorious start for the morning, as it is for some of you. looking at the forecast, while it is a chilly start there is some sunshine in the northern half of the country. parts of england and wales having a thoroughly soaking start to friday. even in parts of scotla nd start to friday. even in parts of scotland we are not without a few showers at the moment. mainly across the far north. these develop a bit more widely through the day, and through the coming hours most places will be dry. it has been a chilly

start with frost in places. sunshine in northern ireland, the far north of cumbria and northern ireland as well. it is a grey start, and we also have a few spots of rain here and there across northern england. thoroughly wet across much of wales, the midlands and southern england. rain heavy is the further south you are, by the time we get to the end of rush—hour, parts of the south—east becoming dry. maybe a little bit brighter and with some brighter skies, potentially a few showers this afternoon. could see highs of 13. showers in scotland certainly come heavy and thundery. for a good few in scotland and northern ireland and the far north of england, we will stay dry throughout the day with some sunny spells and temperatures up to about 13 celsius. where you have the cloud in the rain, maybe only around seven or eight degrees across some parts of the east midlands through the afternoon. western parts of england and wales drying out a little bit through the afternoon, that is because our rain is shifting its way

eastwards into the north sea overnight. it leaves a legacy of cloud, patchy rain and drizzle. some clear skies from the far north of england northwards. we have the chance of a touch of frost into tomorrow morning. for scotland and northern ireland and the far north of england, best favoured for some sunshine through tomorrow. the cloud will break up and some showers develop again. some of those heavy and thundery. western part of england and wales a bit brighter with a greater chance of some sunshine. much of the midlands and east of england will stay cloudy through saturday and a little bit damp in places. still feeling cool weather cloud is in place. roughly speaking we do it all again on sunday, but maybe a bit more sunshine to the west of england and wales on sunday first thing. always best for the dry weather the further north you are. a few showers here and there but late in the day the wind will pick up. gale force winds pushing into the south—east and east anglia, persistent rain as we go into the evening were legend overnight and into monday. for monday, a quick heads up, it is

almost as if we are going back a step as far as the weather is concerned. parts of the midlands, southern england and east of england will see lots of cloud, strong winds, heavy rain, and compared to the 28 or 29 celsius we saw last week, some may only have temperatures around five or six degrees. not a great start to the week, but for some of us there will be some sunshine. we are not ready for this. can‘t we change it? be some sunshine. we are not ready for this. can't we change it?” know, the jacket has gone! it has to come out again. it is a wardrobe nightmare. worrying about the gardens, everything! we will talk about tsb now, the ongoing problems with internet banking. that quote from the boss, we are on our knees, this is a serious situation. yes, so those were the comments yesterday, we are on our knees, say the boss, but we are going to get

back up. it has been a nightmare week from tsb customers. on monday morning, the banks said that the massive it upgrade that was supposed to happen over the weekend had been a success. how wrong they were. millions of customers are having problems with online banking. some are unable to make payments, see their bank balance, or even get paid. lets hear from a few of them, starting with lorna, who has a pretty important deadline to meet. iam i am getting married in nine days, and as! i am getting married in nine days, and as i am sure you can imagine, there is a lot to pay for in the weeks leading up to the wedding. there are final bills, all the little bits and bobs that you have to buy, and i don‘t keep all of my money in my current account. it is all on my savings account, and i tra nsfer all on my savings account, and i transfer it as and when i need it. the stress that has been caused by this utter chaos has been horrific, stress on top of stress. we are doing a bathroom refit on this building, ina doing a bathroom refit on this building, in a suburban area. we have another one half a mile away,

there are five bathrooms in that. that is supposed to be completed next week, with no staff. we couldn't pay them on sunday night. tsb, what are you playing at? it is beyond a joke. tsb, what are you playing at? it is beyond ajoke. i think tsb, what are you playing at? it is beyond a joke. i think the tsb, what are you playing at? it is beyond ajoke. i think the lack tsb, what are you playing at? it is beyond a joke. i think the lack of communication has been extremely pooh communication has been extremely poor. i expect more from tsb. i still can't do what i want to do. as somebody who is still waiting for money from me, ultimately i am extremely frustrated. thanks to lorna, phil and dale for speaking to us. there is clearly real anger there. do get in touch with us on breakfast if you are still being affected by this. many people still are. we will be putting up our contact details on the screen injust a moment. someone who knows all about this is tanya andreasyan, the editor of the banking technology magazine. samantha, i managed to get in to the app once this morning lots of people have to upgrade their systems. why has this been such a

major headache? well, some banks upgrade their systems and some migrate from a very old system to a com pletely migrate from a very old system to a completely new system, which is the case with tsb. so tsb has been outsourcing its technology to lloyds, its former sister bank, it cost them £220 million a year. the systems were built up over time, many, systems were built up over time, any systems were built up over time, many, many years, a complex spaghetti of systems, like a bowl of spaghetti of systems, like a bowl of spaghetti with some sauce and maybe some seafood in it. whatever you touch, if you try to pull out one strand, every other thing is affected. it is extremely complex, difficult, time—consuming, resource consuming, et cetera. so over the weekend, tsb was migrating from the old system to the new ones, everything went well and i am sure they did lots of testing. they did say they carried out something like 70,000 tests, but clearly that was not enough. exactly, 70,000 tests was clearly not enough. shouldn't

they have had more people in branch, more people online answering phones? absolutely, the way it was managed was a disaster, but my guess is they really, really hoped that, you know, we can migration, and everything is fine. —— weekend migration. we can migration, and everything is fine. -- weekend migration. they didn‘tjust hope, fine. -- weekend migration. they didn‘t just hope, they fine. -- weekend migration. they didn‘tjust hope, they put pictures on twitter of them holding glasses of champagne saying everything is fine. that is true, there were some of those on social media, and from the leaders of the project, obviously people thought that is it, it isa obviously people thought that is it, it is a success and it all went horribly wrong and still continues. now, tsb issued a statement saying that the engine is now stabilised, it is up and running. quite a few customers are now ok with their online and mobile banking but there are many issues remaining, including what exactly went wrong, how you can prevent it and what other glitches might show up. you just don‘t know, andi might show up. you just don‘t know, and i am sure people are working around the clock to try and figure

it out. and i am sure you know, because you know some of the tsb tech team. do you have any sense of how long this is going to take for them to fix? well, how long is a piece of string? that is anybody‘s gas. i‘m sure people are entering their eighth night without sleep trying to work it out —— guess. it should be sorted out within the next few days, at least i hope so, for the sake of tsb and of course for their customers, because the indications are already very severe from all sorts of financial, reputational sides. let's talk about some of those indications. do we have any sense of how much this will cost the bank? as you say, there is the reputational issue, there is the worry that customers will migrate to different banks as a result of this, because it is easy to switch these days, but do we know whether or not customers will be getting condensation, what kind of finds them will be getting as a result of this? i am sure regulators have their calculator is out as we speak

trying to find out what fines they will impose, and i don‘t think anyone doubts there will be fines and financial penalties for this debacle. i can imagine that quite a few customers will migrate, because it is very easy with the current account switching service, it is quite easy to move to another bank. 0f quite easy to move to another bank. of course, i think tsb already indicated nobody will be out of pocket, so they will compensate everyone, and i think they are also putting up interest on their savings account for their clients up to 5%, which is a lot considering how low interest rates are and everything, to try to rectify all of that. we will leave it there, thank you very much for coming in. a few people have got in touch, we heard from some adverts saying all we get is the something went wrong message. she says frustrating isn‘t even the word, but she wants to keep it clean, thanks very much, samantha. we heard from john saying

miners find today, tsb has been informative via text regarding the service issues and the branches have been more than helpful. it is the usual ict nightmare being handled either bank might well. do get in touch with us. 20 more coming up a little bit later on. thank you very much indeed. i know so many people are concerned about that. coming up: we will catch up with former olympic champion cyclist victoria pendleton and the adventurer ben fogle, as they continue their ethical climb to everest‘s summit, raising awareness about the state of the planet‘s mountains. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news. the government‘s management of a huge railfranchise which serves the capital has been completely inadequate. that is according to a group of cross—party mps which has scrutinised the operation

of the thameslink, southern and great northern franchise. the public accounts committee found appalling levels of delays and cancellations and that passengers were paying the price for a broken model. their insistence of introducing driver only operated trains, when they knew it was something trade unions were not keen on, they should have had a proper discussion. we we re have had a proper discussion. we were saying to them all the way through you must talk to the key partners, passengers and trade unions in particular, to make sure passengers‘ interests are front and centre of any future franchising. in response, the department of transport says the report is imbalanced and makes inaccurate claims. police have named the man who was murdered in finsbury park on saturday. 20—year—old kwasi anim—boadu was fatally stabbed near seven sisters road. another man was found nearby, also with stab wounds. one man has been charged with possession of an offensive weapon and another has been arrested and bailed until later in may. let‘s have a look at the travel situation now.

on the tube, there‘s a part suspension on thejubillee line between stanmore and wembley park, with minor delays on the rest of the line, following an earlier power failure. following a faulty train at acton town, the district line has severe delays between turnham green and ealing broadway. and there is no service westbound on the on the piccadilly line from hammersmith to heathrow and uxbridge with severe delays on the rest of the line. at the elephant & castle, the walworth road remains closed southbound, newington butts to elephant road, for recovery work following an earlier collision near the elephant & castle rail bridge. the mao is down to one lane northbound from j1a m25 to j2 beaconsfield, following two separate accidents in the area. it is taking about a5 minutes to get through. northbound traffic on the blackwall tunnel southern approach is slow from the woolwich road flyover. let‘s have a check on the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. and big apologies for the bad weather that we‘re set to see at times over the next

few days or so. sunshine in very short supply, i‘m afraid. today, we‘re looking at outbreaks of rain from the south—west. they‘ll be on and off through the morning, so it‘s a rather wet start to the day. but possibly something more dry and bright in eastern areas in the late morning — maybe, would not hang your hat on it. more rain through the afternoon. turning showery. heavy, then lighter and patchier towards the end of the day. temperatures will be disappointingly low, between 10—13 degrees celsius. quite cool for the time of year. the weekend, saturday, damp and drizzly. sunday, mostly dry during the daylight hours, but then some heavy rain during the day into monday, all day really. there is a met office warning for the heavy rain. a chilly north—easterly winds. over the top of the hills, we might even see a bit of sleet. i‘m back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour.

plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast, with louise minchin and charlie stayt. a symbolic moment in world history — kim jong—un becomes the first north korean leader in 65 years to enter south korea. he met south korea‘s president moon for talks in the early hours of this morning, with the two men crossing into each other‘s territories. good morning. it‘s friday, 27th april. also this morning... bill cosby, three words for you — guilty, guilty, guilty!

bill cosby, one of america‘s biggest tv stars, could end his life in jail, after he was found guilty of three counts of sexual assault. the number of parking tickets issued to drivers on private land has risen to a record high. a million more tickets were issued last year than the year before. i‘ll have more in a moment. in sport, late drama at the emirates as arsenal blow the chance to take control of their europa league semifinal against 10—man athletico madrid. and matt‘s at hadrian‘s wall with the weather. good morning. iam good morning. i am at a roman fort on the edge of hadrian‘s wall, where a new visitor centre opens today shining light on what life was like

here back when the romans were in full flight. whilst the sun is out here at the moment there is lots of cloud and outbreaks of rain across england and wales, more wet weather for some this weekend. full forecast in 15 minutes. good morning. first, our main story. the leaders of north and south korea have met for the first time in over a decade. in unprecedented scenes, the pair shook hands and symbolically stepped twice over the concrete blocks at the line that officially marks the border between the two countries. the white house said it hoped the talks between kim jong—un and president moon would lead to peace and prosperity for the entire peninsula. from the border between the two nations, rupert wingfield—hayes reports. it was a moment few could have imagined taking place here just a few months ago — kim jong—un stepping onto south korean soil, for the first time ever. and then an unexpected twist, as kim grabbed president moonjae—in by the hand. together, the two leaders stepped back for a moment onto north korean territory. the opening of this summit has been

heavy with symbolism — the military honour guard dressed in traditional korean outfits, not south korean military uniforms. on the wall of the meeting room, a huge painting of the mount paektu, an emblem of national unity. and, as the meeting opened, both leaders spoke passionately of the need for peace. translation: you are the first one who crossed the demarcation line, mr kim, the committee chairperson. this is a symbol of the peace. translation: i came here with a mindset to send a starting signal at this threshold of a new history, of peace and prosperity. the mood of optimism here is palpable, but warm words will not be enough to bring peace. it is barely four months since kim jong—un launched this huge new missile, perhaps capable of hitting the united states.

ahead of the summit, he promised to stop further nuclear and long—range missile testing, but that is very far short of a real commitment to negotiate away this nuclear arsenal. rupert wingfield—hayes is just on the border between the two countries. good morning. walker is through what we have seen this morning? we knew kimjong—un would step into south korea but we did not know everything that would happen. —— just walk us through what we have seen —— just walk us through what we have seen this morning? what we have seen, i think it‘s very carefully choreographed political theatre. mainly by south korean president moonjae—in, who mainly by south korean president moon jae—in, who has mainly by south korean president moonjae—in, who has really pushed for the summit moonjae—in, who has really pushed forthe summitand moonjae—in, who has really pushed for the summit and opened the space for the summit and opened the space for dialogue with the north and

wa nted for dialogue with the north and wanted the summit to take place. as isaid in wanted the summit to take place. as i said in the report, this atmosphere of really welcoming kim jong—un to the south in an atmosphere of friendship and family ties, emphasising that they are all korean and all koreans yearned for peace. i think that is the way it has been set up by the south korean government. for the north korean leader kim jong—un as well, he has played this very well. as some commentators have said in the last few hours, it is a brilliant piece of political charm offensive by him. it is only a few months since he fired rockets into the pacific, set off nuclear devices, and now he is being welcomed like a statesman, acting very statesman—like and coming with concessions and offering peace. is it just coming with concessions and offering peace. is itjust a charm offensive or does he really mean it? that is a good question. thank you very much

indeed, rupert wingfield—hayes. american comedian bill cosby is facing up to 30 years injail after being found guilty of three counts of sexual assault. the 80—year—old was the first major black actor on a us primetime tv show, and is best known for starring in the 1980s tv series the cosby show. around 60 women have publicly accused cosby of sexual abuse, and some of them were in court to hear the verdict. here‘s our north america reporter, nada tawfik. bill cosby‘s accusers were overcome with emotion after the verdict was read. this moment was once unthinkable, but now a reality. they rejoiced because bill cosby will now go to prison for his crimes — but equally, because the women who spoke out against him were finally believed. we were so full of emotion. our emotion was exploding like a volcano. we were trying to hold in our gasps ofjoy, of disbelief, because we weren‘t expecting that. for years, allegations against the comedian fell on deaf ears, never

denting his lovable, wholesome image. he was the most—watched man on television, an upstanding moral figure, america‘s dad. in recent years, more than 50 women came forward to accuse the comedian. but andrea constand‘s case was the only one that could be prosecuted. last summer, the first trial ended with the jury deadlocked after 50 hours of deliberations. justice has been done! this time, the second trial took place after the me too movement swept the country, and five additional accusers were allowed to give evidence. bill cosby has managed to contain his emotions throughout this trial. but, after the verdict was read, when the prosecution asked the judge to immediately detain him, bill cosby let out a profanity in frustration. this was stunning for a man who was such a treasured part of american culture. bill cosby may now spend the rest of his life in prison, now as a reviled former star. there is more criticism

of the home office this morning, with 35 nhs trusts accusing immigration officials of putting patient safety at risk by blocking visas for around 100 indian trainee doctors. the medics were due to start work this september, but their visa applications were rejected because the quota for skilled migrants was already filled. the home office says that around a third of available visas already go to the nhs. the number of parking tickets issued to drivers on private land has risen to a record high. the rac foundation says that 5.7 million tickets were issued last year — a rise of a million. victoria is here to tell us more. yes, a huge rise which is happening every single year. it has risen tenfold in less than a decade.

although the councils in england and wales still issue more fines in total, the private parking management business has never been busier. they are issuing tickets every six seconds across the country and making a lot of money, obviously. you might have a fairly minor contravention like overstaying your welcomed by a couple of minutes and the fines can be something like £100, which if you put the numbers together it means drivers could be being asked for up to half £1 billion a year at the moment from private parking firms alone. —— asda forup to private parking firms alone. —— asda for up to five ajer million pounds a year. if you think you are in the right you can appeal, around two thirds of drivers appeal and the majority are successful on appeal. there are suggestions that some drivers might be being fleeced by these companies and this is what the government is worried about, they are looking at a new code of practice and greater industry

regulation to try to make sure you get rid of some of the rogue parking firms and make sure these complaints and fines are legitimate. thank you very much. plans are being made for donald trump to meet the queen when he visits the uk onjuly13th. but there‘s it was announced yesterday. —— that visit was announced yesterday. while talks with theresa may will be high on the agenda, it‘s his audience with the queen that is likely to grab the most attention. the bbc understands that they will meet either at buckingham palace or windsor castle. those are this morning‘s main stories. let‘s return to our main story, kim jong—un and south korea‘s president moon coming face—to—face at a summit in the demilitarised zone. let‘s remind ourselves of the history between the two countries. you are seeing the images that emerged in the early hours of this morning, this meeting, some of which commentators say was heavily

choreographed, a moment in time, the two lea d e rs choreographed, a moment in time, the two leaders at this stage in their respective countries, but the bit that was not expected was an invitation to step into north korea. that is what you are seeing. and then they stepped back into south korea and walked to the talks themselves. you can see the map, here is a little history. let‘s remind ourselves. north and south korea have been divided since the south declared independence, a few years after the end of the second world war. that sparked an invasion by the north. a war broke out, that lasted for three years and claimed two million lives. this is the first summit between the two countries for more than a decade and the first time in more than 60 years that a north korean leader has set foot in the south. let‘s talk to professor hazel smith, a north korea specialist

from the university of london. it has been absolutely fascinating watching the pictures, some of it was choreographed, it appears that that walk back into north korea may not necessarily have been. what do you make of what you have seen? the rumour is that apparently the chit—chat president moon said when would you invite me to the north, and kimjong—un said, why not now? we do not know, that is just a rumour coming out we do not know, that is just a rumourcoming out in we do not know, that is just a rumour coming out in some of the press at the moment. i think it exemplifies that the border is important, that at the back of all this there is a divided country, not just since 19a5, but korea as a state goes back to 1392. it is a very symbolic step, these two countries where families are divided, there is no communication.

something which might come out of the summit is that the last of the relatives can perhaps see each other after the summit, there are still divided families who have not been able to do so because of the terrible cleavage between north and south korea. tragic families divided, those personal stories. let‘s talk about some of the big issues. a break for lunch, let‘s talk about some of the big issues. a breakfor lunch, i am not sure if they are back in, what will be the key elements and what prospect of something tangible emerging? depends how we define the objectives. the first object of the south korea was to de—escalate the tension is rising so dramatically before christmas. in many ways these pictures show they have achieved that object. the main strategic objective the south korea, the united states, the rest of the world, is to get rid of nuclear weapons from the korean peninsular, particularly from north korea. that

is central to the agenda. they have not issued the final statement yet but of course these things are largely prepared, any summit throughout the world of any countries, beforehand and there have been preparations. you talked of choreography, the statement will have been drafted. we know already that president moon said nuclear issues would be at the centre of that. we would expect at the very least that this summit would show the started serious nuclear negotiations, but the caveat is that although north korea have agreed to do nucleus, they are still saying what they have said the 20 years, subject to their security being guaranteed. the question will be in the detail, what happens next, how will their security be guaranteed so they do not feel that will be military intervention of a lender blake gaddafi or saddam hussein or in the international court of justice, there are lots and lots of details —— so they do not end up like gaddafi. thank you for your

time. just picking up on those directly affected. one viewer was 17 years old when she fled career. she joins us old when she fled career. she joins us from seoul. thank you so much for your time. i‘m sure you will have been looking at those images this morning of that meeting. the shaking of hands and the step from one territory to another. give us your reflections as you watch those |mages? reflections as you watch those images? when i was watching that it was so emotional. i don‘t really believe the nature of it. this time i truly believe this could be kim jong—un‘s political show. but on the

same time! jong—un‘s political show. but on the same time i hope maybe he could do better than i expected. during the meeting actually he mentioned that the whole world is watching the summit right now with full expectations and hope. he clearly mentioned the message at the beginning of the talks. although i don‘t believe him. but maybe he is saying that with his true mind. that is what i hope. people will understand your scepticism at what you have seen. but you said yourself, the emotions you felt, possibly on seeing something... i know they have met before but this feels different. describe the emotions you felt, possibly seeing something you never imagined he would? to me the emotion is because of the summit. maybe this will bring

a better chance to north korean people. but on the same time i don‘t see this in a really beautiful way because kim jong—un, he see this in a really beautiful way because kimjong—un, he is a crazy dictator at the moment. he is killing people, putting people in public executions, sending them to political prison. we shouldn‘t forget about this. after he met president g in china and the relationship between china and north korea went really well, china is trying to send north korean defectors back. it is happening more than before. this is not a beautiful scene. you spend the first 17 years

of your life in north korea. you know very well how controlled information is there. what do you think north koreans will be told about what has happened today?” mean, cultural exchanges between south korea and north korea, music exchanges happened. the music in pyongyang, only people from pyongyang... those south korean songs are totally banned in north korea. if you listen to them you will be punished. i don‘t think

ordinary people really can believe the information they hear. also, this kind of summit at this time, people in north korea don‘t know about any politics or what is going on in the outside world. but they know that people are starving. they are hungry people. because of the meeting between president moon and then soon with president trump, i believe, people in north korea will have hope that maybe we‘re going to have hope that maybe we‘re going to have a unification, so that the starvation will be totally finished and we can all live together. i think they have a sort of holt also, as well. thank you so much for your time. speaking to us from seoul. north korean defector, left north korea when she was 17. reacting to some of those images we have seen.

we will continue talking about that. also, the weather. matt is at hadrian‘s wall for us this morning, a beautiful sunrise. it may be colder later. good morning. we are at the roman fort this morning. the romans, this was their north—west frontier for over 300 years. the roman fort was an addition to what was originally a wall with just some gates and towers. just to try and keep the barbarians from the north at bay. this is the remains of some of the granaries. they would store ten yea rs granaries. they would store ten years worth of food. there is a brand—new visitors centre here. we will be chatting to the senior curator from english will be chatting to the senior curatorfrom english heritage later. a lovely sunrise. glorious at the

moment. blue skies overhead. the forecast for the rest of the country is not quite the same. it has been a chilly start. some frost across parts of scotland and northern ireland. as far as the weather is concerned, england and wales largely cloudy, fairly wet. you have to be in the very far north of england, cumbria, northumberland, scotland and northern ireland to have the sunshine. showers in the far north of scotla nd sunshine. showers in the far north of scotland at the moment. most places dry and sunny. many will stay that way throughout. south from cumbria and northumberland, lots of cloud, outbreaks of rain. a thorough soaking through some parts of southern england, wales and the midlands. after some rain earlier in the far south east, things turn dry, maybe a bit brighter. there will be some showers later. that whole area of rain will move its way eastwards. much of wales and south—west england

will turn dry. parts of the midlands will turn dry. parts of the midlands will stay wet throughout. we have got the rain, temperatures seven, 8 degrees in the afternoon. parts of scotla nd degrees in the afternoon. parts of scotland will see some heavy showers in the afternoon and the odd rumble of thunder. they will fade away through tonight. clear skies across scotland, northern ireland and the far north of england. we could see frost. temperatures dropping a little below freezing. further south lots of cloud. a bit great start the day. a bit damp and places. not as wet as today. the western fringes of england and wales may see some sunshine. the best of the sunshine in cumbria, scotland and northern ireland. into saturday we do it all

again. more cloud for england and wales. a little bit more sunshine first thing in the western half of england and wales before the cloud increases from the east, bringing further rain and drizzle. by the end of the day the south—east of england will be wet and windy, and feeling distinctly chilly. and all that cloud, wind, rain will spread distinctly chilly. and all that cloud, wind, rain willspread in through sunday night into monday across much of central and eastern england. temperatures five to 6 degrees in some areas. we may even see a little bit of sleet. it is almost as if we are taking a step back rather than heading forward to the start of may on tuesday. that is how it is looking. i will hand you back. very much a step backwards. thank you. spare a thought for the two people we are going to speak to now. they‘re no stranger to gruelling challenges, but olympic champion cyclist victoria pendleton and adventurer ben fogle are attempting to scale new heights, by climbing mount everest for charity. we spoke to them here on breakfast

before they set off. the good news is that they‘ve made it safely to the mountain‘s base camp, and we can speak to them now. i think we are going to speak to ben first. good morning. describe the scene? good morning. it is a pretty stunning scene. we have been away for about two weeks. we are at base camp. iam for about two weeks. we are at base camp. i am looking at the ice fall, one of the most notorious parts of climbing everest. we have done her first rotation. in order to acclimatise you have two get up to high camp and then come back. we spent a few days but camp two. base camp is on a huge later. lots of rocks. it is a pretty surreal, strange place. it is snowing. it goes from being boiling hot to

freezing cold. it is about getting used to this thin air. the ice fall we went through is pretty scary, if i‘m honest. it is a maze of snow and ice, big towering blocks of ayes. we can hear ice falling and avalanches around us. but we are in pretty good hands. we have got excellent sherpas. we are hopefully working towards a summit attempt in a couple of weeks. you are not a fan of heights. i would of weeks. you are not a fan of heights. iwould imagine of weeks. you are not a fan of heights. i would imagine it‘s quite tricky. you are trying to make this ethical. how is it going? that's right. we are trying to make it as ethical as possible. we are respecting the environment. everything from human waste is coming back with us. we are taking bags so we can take everything back. respecting the sherpas and trying to make our impact on the landscape as minimalas make our impact on the landscape as minimal as possible. we are

supporting the british red cross. we have got plenty of things to focus our minds on. i'm going to run out of time. can i speak to victoria? nikita parris the phone over. good morning. how is it going? yes, good. it isa morning. how is it going? yes, good. it is a surreal environment. it is difficult when you have to turn 360 degrees on the spot to take in all the mountains around you. they are just so enormous and imposing. if you get up in the night you can see a trail of hedgehogs weaving through theice a trail of hedgehogs weaving through the ice fall. what has been the toughest bit so far? the toughest thing is the waiting around. we had a couple of days at base camp. you're looking at the ice, ice as

big as buildings. you climb direct vertical ice. you jump over crevasses. you vertical ice. you jump over crevasses. you have a rope vertical ice. you jump over crevasses. you have a rope attached all the way. but everybody was talking about how terrifying it was. you haven't seen it with your own eyes yet. you try to get your head around that without getting psyched out. fortunately, we got successfully through and back without too much trouble. it is a little bit scary at times. it is a lot less daunting than people are making out. fantastic to speak to. victoria pendleton and ben fogle. we will speak to you again. good luck with the rest of it. didn't good luck with the rest of it. didn‘t victoria sound perky? she is so didn‘t victoria sound perky? she is so upbeat. just the kind of person to climba so upbeat. just the kind of person to climb a mountain with. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. some pretty wet weather in the

forecast today, rain spreading from the south—west. pretty unpleasant the south—west. pretty unpleasant the many parts of england wales. in scotla nd the many parts of england wales. in scotland and northern ireland it will be brighter, some sunny spells but pretty heavy showers developing, some hail and thunder and those will be slow—moving. towards northumberland, durham and cumbria, staying largely dried that there is rain across england and wales. drier for time rain across england and wales. drier fortime in rain across england and wales. drier for time in the south—east and drier later across western areas. temperatures at around nine to 11 or 12 celsius. this evening, the rain gradually continues to ease away from the west, still though showers further north in scotland and northern ireland with some late afternoon and early evening sunny spells. a slow start for saturday with cloud and rain towards the south—east, brighter over the weekend but pretty cool. studio: just time to welcome the

news channel viewers for a moment of history, one way or the other, as president moonjae—in of south korea and kimjong—un of north korea stand to attention, states in hand, as they mark the ceremonial planting of a pine tree which we are told is 65 yea rs a pine tree which we are told is 65 years old, which takes us back to the conclusion of the korean war, the conclusion of the korean war, the signing of the armistice. a full peace deal has never been achieved since then for these two countries, this is recognised as they stand on the demarcation line is very much a symbolic moment of coming together, at least in a
