if you were watching bbc news at this time yesterday, you'd have witnessed the handshake that marked the start of the historic summit between the leaders of north and south korea. the international community has welcomed the talks, during which both said they were committed to de—nuclearisation. but president trump says there will be no let—up in the pressure on the north until the peninsula is free of nuclear weapons. the us president said he had a responsibility to strike a deal if possible when he meets the north's leader, kimjong—un, in the coming weeks. stay with us for more on the international reaction to the meeting shortly. but first, laura bicker looks back on the day's events. this one outstretched hand could offer the korean peninsula a fresh start. the north korean leader, often a figure of fear, smiled as he took the historic step south. then he decided

to direct the action. together, the two leaders crossed back and forth... over a border that has separated them for 65 years. mr kim announced he felt a swell of emotion. an upbeat honour guard seemed to capture the mood as they headed for talks. a new chapter of history is being written, he said. i came here as if standing at the starting line, firing the starting signal. it's an emotional moment in this class, as nearly half of the children are from north korea. many left their families behind. a peace treaty may be the only chance they have of seeing them again. we can't show their faces, to keep their loved ones safe. when was the last time you saw your mum? translation: i last saw

herjanuary 21st, 2011. i hope from this meeting we can live in a world where there is no war and no more nuclear weapons. translation: the first handshake is always the hard part. after that it is easy. they did it, we did it. after lunch, mr kim was running a bit late, which meant a good cardio work—out for his security detail. and then, in a day of extraordinary moments, came this. they simply went for a stroll in the most heavily fortified border in the world. and then sat for a chat while the world tried to lip—read in korean.

they didn't keep us waiting long for their declaration. translation: facing each other, i wholeheartedly feel once again that north and south are the same people, the same blood and we cannot be separated. translation: chairman kim and i reaffirm today that a korean peninsula without nuclear weapons is the shared goal for complete denuclearisation. so they toasted the joint aim to formally end the korean war and walk towards a peace treaty. they have promised to reunite families torn apart by division. 0n the face of it, strong words of ambition and hope, but amidst the lofty language, there is very little detail. and kimjong—un did not say he was willing to give up his nuclear weapons. there was more political theatre as the two said farewell.

just months ago they were on the brink of war. and now the world is watching this warm embrace. there is no doubt it is a good start, but the way ahead is still not clear. laura bicker, bbc news, seoul. can't get over those images. broadly speaking, reaction from around the world to the ground—breaking summit has been positive. north korea's main ally, china, says beijing stands ready to continue helping the two koreas resolve their differences. and once again, president trump has confirmed he will meet with the north korean leader in the coming weeks. andrew plant has more. korean teenagers now living injapan, celebrating something that many thought they would never see, now the hope here is reunification of a country that has been divided for more than 60 years. japan has long maintained a hardline

position on north korea, but news of planned talks between donald trump and kim jong—un appears to have softened tokyo's stance. translation: i welcome the talks as a sign of progress towards the resolution of issues concerning north korea. i hope that north korea will take concrete action following the inter—korean summit. the question is, after decades focused on developing nuclear weapons, is denuclearisation realistic? america is hoping that friday's summit will be the start of that process. i think good things can happen with respect to north korea. we are setting up meetings, we are down to two countries, as to a site, we will let you know what that site is. the us defence secretary was asked if he trusted north korea. this was, he replied, a rare opportunity for a new relationship.

this is about negotiations and we will build through confidence building measures a degree of trust to go forward. so we will see how things go. the chinese leader has said his country will do whatever it can to help north and south korea resolve their differences. many are hoping the warm words lead to a permanent thaw in north korea, as the secretive state appears to take its first steps in from the cold. andrew plant, bbc news. let's take a look at some of the other stories making the news. a usjudge has postponed a lawsuit by 90 days brought by the porn star stormy daniels against president trump's lawyer. the ruling said michael cohen's constitutional rights could be endangered if the lawsuit proceeded while he was under criminal investigation. ms daniels is seeking to end a non—disclosure agreement she allegedly signed to keep quiet about a sexual encounter with mr trump, which he denies.

optimist, or are you a cynic and a sceptic about this career summit? —— korea. i think i would fall into the sceptic category, although this was undeniably an historic achievement, the meeting of the two korean leaders. and the up the mizen was palpable. it was at party atmosphere. —— the optimism was palpable. the challenge is in the details. we have agreements with north korea before. we have been down this road before. it is the details and implementation and verification that has tripped things up verification that has tripped things up in the past. really, that is ready issue is now, looking at the substance of these issues. surely the president, he will have his advisers around him and they will have done the ground work. isn't getting to this stage in itself

could enough? it is certainly an important step. make no mistake. this is a very important achievement, having this meeting. however, the deal, whatever the deal may be, as complicated as it may be, is actually the easy part. what happens after the deal, after the handshake and after the celebration, of actually implement in the agreement and going through the complicated steps of making sure that both sides are following through with the commitments, that is where the hard work begins. —— implementing it the agreement. and thatis implementing it the agreement. and that is where the problems have been the decades. is china happy to see this happen? china is relieved, i believe, that we are in a diplomatic mode, that we are no longer talking about fire and fury and threats of military conflict. they are also

pleased at how the meeting between xijinping and kimjong—un pleased at how the meeting between xi jinping and kim jong—un went. pleased at how the meeting between xijinping and kimjong—un went. it demonstrates beijing has a strong role to play. but they know the history of this as well as anybody. they know that the next few months will be absolutely critical to ensuring that we stay on diplomacy, and one of their concerns is that if diplomacy fails, president trump has said that it may be down to phase two, what he calls phase two, military options, as the only resort, since he said the united states would never accept a north korea that could strike the united states with nuclear weapons. thank you very much. street names in the spanish capital madrid are being changed as part of a move to rid the city of any reminders of its fascist past. signs connected to the rule of spanish dictator francisco franco, are being taken down. the process has opened up old wounds as spain still struggles to come to terms with its past. russell trott reports.

a scion of a very different and a violent time, or a treasured memory ofa violent time, or a treasured memory of a bygone era? —— sign. for people who lived through the spanish civil warand who lived through the spanish civil war and remember those names connect with the rule of the dictator franco, mixed emotions. —— connected. these have been the street name since i was ten years old and now we are living in a very different world and of course they have to commend change everything. whatever. if they want to change something they need to increase our pensions. i think it is silly because they are removing some names they didn't have to take down, and putting up some others they didn't have to put up. i've flipped out, seeing what they put up. but i don't wa nt seeing what they put up. but i don't want to saving else. i had a good life. my parents were not rich. they

we re ha rd life. my parents were not rich. they were hard workers. at there was too much injustice. they keep doing these things, they put things up and then they remove them. many of the street names refer to generals who took part in a military uprising against the spanish republic in 1936, and the civil war in the following yea rs 1936, and the civil war in the following years that kills tens of thousands. general franco ruled spain for the 35 years, until 1975. —— over 35. under a law brought in bya —— over 35. under a law brought in by a previous government, statues can be removed and streets will revert to their old names, dating from before the regime, or another of those with more peaceful backgrounds, such as the 20th century spanish physicist cabrera. the move to rename around 50 of the capital city's streets will continue over the next few days. the process has been fraught with legal disputes, in a show of how spain still struggles to come to terms with its dictatorship past. when i heard the swedish superstars abba were going to release

new material, two thoughts crossed my mind. the first was mama mia, here we go again, and money money money. it's been 35 years since they last worked together — and they've recorded two new songs. they've not yet been released, but the first will be broadcast in a special programme by the bbc later this year. tim allman has more. # my, my! # at waterloo, napoleon did surrender. # oh, yeah! 1974 — flares, satin jumpsuits, and a song called waterloo. anni—frid, agnetha, benny and bjorn, collectively known as abba, putting sweden on the pop music map. # waterloo! # i was defeated, you won the war. for nearly ten years, they dominated the charts, and then they called it a day. but now, it is very much a case of mamma mia, here i go again. in a statement, the band said: # 0h, mamma mia.

# here i go again. # my, my. # how can i resist you? the new songs, called i still have faith in you and don't shut me down, were recorded last summer. they will be part of a virtual reality tour, where digital versions of the band will do the performing. the question of new music was raised when bjorn spoke to the bbc not so long ago. i'm — i'm not — i'm not ready to say that yet. so there could be new songs? exactly! there could be new songs? um... er... i'm... you know, it's. .. it's up in the air! stay tuned, stay tuned. yeah.

what the songs sound like is so far still a mystery. but soon, abba fans will get to hear them and thank them for the music all over again. the name of the latest addition to the royal family has been revealed, four days after he was shown off to the world. the duke and duchess of cambridge's third child is louis arthur charles. he'll be known as prince louis of cambridge. here's our royal correspondent nicholas witchell. cheering. it's taken four days — twice the time it took to decide the names of george and charlotte — but finally, the cambridges' new baby has a new name — louis. it's a departure from the anglo—saxon names the royals normally choose for something which is french and german in origin. so, what is going on? is this a subtle message of solidarity with europe? or is it simply that william and catherine like the name? the evidence suggests the latter.

after william's birth in 1982, he was named by his parents william arthur philip louis. it was a tribute by prince charles to his beloved great—uncle, lord louis mountbatten, earl mountbatten of burma, who'd been murdered by the ira three years before william's birth. five years ago, william and catherine named theirfirstborn son george alexander louis. so the name has threaded its way through the generations. now, with the arrival of the latest royal baby, the british royal family has a prince whose name has family links and a cross—channel connection. louis is a name with strong european associations in royal terms, most particularly with france. france had 18 kings called louis, including louis xiv, who reigned for 72 years. so what do people make of the name louis? we are french, so we kind

of like it, obviously! and as for the brits? i love it. i love the name louis. i'm so pleased it's not going to be arthur! so pleased! that's the middle name, louis arthur charles. four days old and little louis is already creating his own entente cordiale. the poor thing doesn't know what is about to befall him. don't forget you can get in touch with me and some of the team on twitter, i'm @nkemifejika. hello.

let's bring you up—to—date with how the weather is going to pan out across the british isles for the weekend and the start of next week. friday was none too sparkling for many parts of the british isles. this is pretty typical of what most of you had to endure. when you look at how the chart is shaping up for the start of saturday, the closer you are, generally speaking, to that area of low pressure, the cloudier your weekend is going to be. a lot of cloud around again. some sunshine across northern and western parts. we finish the weekend with an introduction from the south—east of some pretty wet and windy weather. so a chilly start to saturday across scotland and northern ireland. further south, a blanket of cloud helps to keep the temperatures up, and delivers the prospect of a little bit of rain as we get through saturday morning. i'm just going to take you into the south, with our detailed model, to take a look at how we see the showers developing. you will see there's no great organisation about it. many will stay dry.

pretty cloudy, as i say. the cloud thick enough through yorkshire and lincolnshire and some of the neighbouring counties. further north, into northern ireland and much of scotland, especially away from the eastern shores, there is a good chance of seeing one or two sharp showers. now we are into the bigger picture. the temperatures profile shows you it will not be very warm on saturday. if you are stepping out in the evening those showers will tend to die away, that rain is hanging on through good parts across the eastern side, until late on. going to keep the cloud across the east. that will keep temperatures up. notice the blue, extensive across northern and western parts, especially in scotland, northern ireland and the north—west of england. a cold and bright start there. elsewhere, as i say, a lot of cloud. eventually that will thicken up in the south—eastern quarter and before the day is over we'll see rain and gathering wind, all of which will combine again to suppress the temperatures below what we would expect at this time of year. now, all of that wind and rain is coming from a big area of low pressure, it's not just the south—east that will see that combination of wet and windy weather.

a good part of the near continent and northern parts of germany, getting up to denmark as well, and even at this range there is a bit of concern about it because it will be pretty filthy, just for the start of the commute and the school day. disruption is likely. bbc local radio will keep you up to date. there you can see the extent of it. i figfil‘ 24.71.45; ' g this is bbc news — the headlines: president trump has welcomed the historic summit between north and south korea — in which the countries leaders set out a peace plan and called off their conflict. but mr trump made it clear that the us will continue to put pressure on north korea until the regime gives up its nuclear weapons. a former policeman suspected of being the so—called golden state killer, and on the run since the 70s, has made his first appearance in a california court.
