hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source. gaza has witnessed its bloodiest day for three years. more than 50 palestinians are dead. israel says it was self—defence. injerusalem, the event at which palestinian fury is directed — the inauguration of the us embassy. israel's prime minister spoke. president trump, by recognising history, you have made history. we'll report from indonesia on another family suicide attack — in the latest an eight—year—old daughter of a militant survived. her parents did not. and scientists say they have transferred memorised behaviour from one snail to another. we'll explain how, and why this could help us understand disease such as alzheimer's. it's been the deadliest

day of violence in gaza since the 2014 war. over 50 people died close to the border with israel. it's also the day america broke with the international community and opened its embassy injerusalem. the un has responded. we will see how the international community response. israel argues it

acted in self—defence and in the last hour with hard the white house. —— within the last half now we've heard from the white house. responsibility for these tragic deaths rests squarely with hamas. hamas is intentionally and cynically provoking this response. as the secretary of state said, israel has the right to defend itself. these are some of the latest pictures. this is gaza, where tens of thousands of palestinians have been protesting. a 12—year old boy is among the 52 dead, and over 2,000 protesters are injured. the protests a re the protests are focused on the inauguration earlier of the us embassy in jerusalem. a inauguration earlier of the us embassy injerusalem. a number of senior members of the trump administration including ivanka trump and her husband jared kushner. israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu also spoke. what a glorious day, remember this moment. this is history. president

trump, by recognising history, you have made history. this map helps us tell this story. the us embassy has moved from tel aviv to jerusalem — and in doing this america acknowledges thatjerusalem is israel's capital, but israeli sovereignty over jerusalem is not recognised internationally. israel has occupied eastjerusalem since the 1967 middle east war. it effectively annexed the sector, though this was not recognised by any countries until president trump's declaration in december 2017. its final status is meant to be discussed at the end of peace talks, though that plan is entirely hypothetical given there are no peace talks. today was about symbolism. this small interim embassy is inside these us consulate offices. in fact it's not even

operational until next monday, but the inauguration was brought forward to coincide with the state of israel's 70th anniversary. for the israelis that is a moment of celebration. the palestinians call this day nakba, or catastrophe. they say holding the inauguration on this day is a further insult, though there's no sign donald trump or benjamin netanyahu are concerned about that. today was also the culmination of six weeks of protests during which more than a0 palestinians had already died. processed have been consistently focused on the us embassy move into jerusalem. —— the protests. bbc arabic‘s feraz killani is on gaza israel border. translation: just a few meters separate these protesters

from the border fence and the crossing points to the israeli side. israeli soldiers are stationed just a few metres from the fence. we tried to get clog- hit some protesters in the legs. this looks like an attack using live ammunition. gunfire next, this is reaction of the mustafa barghouti, a member of the palestinian parliament. unfortunately what is going on is a real massacre and the israeli army feels it is not restrained to shoot people with lethal weapons, with live ammunition, although they are peaceful. unfortunately i expect more injuries and more people killed, not only in gaza but also the west bank, which has had two

serious injuries, here in ramallah. and there is another serious one in hebron. and the israeli armyjust shoots people, regardless of whether they are media people, press people, medical people, theyjust shoot indiscriminately. this has to be restrained. if you want to see less injuries and less people dead, there should be immediate pressure on israel. he says it's a massacre. this is prime minister benjamin neta nyahu's spokesperson. of course it's not a massacre, what it is an attempt is an attempt to defend israel from thousands, tens of thousands of people who have gathered for one express purpose. they are chanting, holding signs saying death to israel, saying we will annihilate israel. hamas, the terrorist organisation that runs gaza, is abundantly clear. those aren't my words, they are there precise words, calling for the annihilation of israel. we are doing what any state would do, to defend itself from an onslaught of people throwing mortars and bombs and

placing ieds and trying to infiltrate into israel for one express purpose. to kill israeli civilians. the protests weren'tjust in gaza, but in the west bank too. bbc‘s yollande knell has been in ramallah. clashes have been taking place here in the occupied west bank but the most deadly ones have been happening in gaza, where it's been the bloodiest day since the 2014 conflict between israel and palestinian militants there. what we're hearing still, many hundreds of people being treated for injuries that have been sustained along the border. according to the israeli military, more than 40,000 palestinians took part in protests at about a dozen sites along the israel—gaza border. they say there were several attempts to try and reach the fence, to cross into israeli territory, and that's where they opened fire. human rights groups are accusing

them of using excessive force. there has been a statement from the spokesperson of the palestinian president mahmoud abbas in ramallah, accusing the us, with its embassy move, of cancelling its role in the peace process and he said the us had insulted the world and created incitement and instability. the man responsible for the embassy‘s move wasn't there. but president trump did send a video message. on december 6th, 2017, at my direction, the united states finally and officially recognised jerusalem as the true capital of israel. today, we follow through on this recognition and open our embassy the historic and sacred land ofjerusalem. and we're opening it many, many years ahead of schedule. as i said in december, our greatest hope is for peace. the united states remains

fully committed to facilitating a lasting peace agreement and we continue to support the status quo atjerusalem's holy sites including the temple mount, also known as haram esh—sharif. before mr trump it would have seemed unlikely that we'd ever a us president shifting the embassy to jerusalem. it would definitely have seemed unlikely that an american president would do that, and then trail coverage of it on one tv network. that's where we are. barbara plett—usher is in washington. previously a correspondent based in jerusalem as well. there's a lot of symbolism in the act, but help us to

understand why practically this could cause problems for any peace initiative. well, the tram administration is still saying it plans to put forward a peace initiative. we don't have much information about what it will contain but they say it will be detailed and there will be something for both sides in it. the palestinians have said they've lost faith in the us as a mediator. they haven't talked to the administration since thejerusalem haven't talked to the administration since the jerusalem announcement haven't talked to the administration since thejerusalem announcement and the administration has carried out a pressure campaign on the palestinians, cutting funding to the un agency supporting palestinian refugees and cutting funding to the palestinian authority as well. i spoke to a former middle east negotiator recently who said yes, we've always been pro—israel but at least we could hear the palestinian narrative, we understood where the palestinians were coming from. this

administration has been more pro—israel than any before it. it may have crossed some red line in its ability to serve as a mediator. on the one hand the tram administration putting forward a position on one of the most volatile issues, the status ofjerusalem and on the other, alienating the palestinians in otherwise —— the tribe administration. that makes it difficult to see much hope for a piece initiative. —— the tram administration. presumably people would point to the north korean situation and say that he took a very unorthodox approach and why not try something new in the middle east too? there is that theory, you shake things up on the one hand and you put pressure on the parties and tell them, this is the way it is. to the palestinians, this is the reality,

jerusalem functions as the capital of israel, we're going to recognise it and you have to too and if you go along with it you get something as well. it's an open question about how effective that is going to be. in this case you have two different size and at least the impression and the mediator strongly taking one side on an issue that is very crucial to the heart of the peace process “— crucial to the heart of the peace process —— two different sides. this is the reason why previous administrations haven't ta ken is the reason why previous administrations haven't taken this step. if you have this impression it seems that shaking things up probably isn't going to get you the result you want. the white house is putting responsibility on the palestinians. this is bernie sanders: you'd expect him to be critical of

donald trump but he has come out strongly against what israel and mr trump have said today. stay with us on outside source — still to come. a freak weather system has caused sandstorms and thunderstorms across india. it is sandstorms, thunderstorms, lightning strikes. we'll bring you up lightning strikes. we'll bring you up to date. here, there's been a sharp rise in the number of children under 11 referred for mental health treatment by schools in the last four years. data obtained by the children's charity, the nspcc, shows schools in england made more than 120,000 referrals for specialist help between 2014 and 2015, with more than half from primary schools. the government insists its reforms will transform mental health services for children. the biggest problem we are finding is that there is the epidemic in self harm. when we set up the sane line 25 years ago, self harm

was the older children, a pen knife, a small overdose. now we have terrible stories, younger children, very severe slashing, burning, a rise in girls having to go to hospital to be sewn up after they've self—harmed. it's the most... it seems to be this rise in self harm and also in children who have suicidal thoughts. this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. our lead story. the white house has blamed the deaths of at least 52 palestinians on hamas, saying it intentionally provoked an israeli response. other countries including france and britain have called on israel to exercise restraint. catalonia's parliament has sworn in a new separatist leader called qeem torra. he's pledged to continue the battle for independence from spain.

spain's leader mariano rajoy has offered talks with mr torra. bbc hindi's reporting on an indian mp who's been charged with aiding his wife's suicide in 2014. her death was initially unexplained. then it was treated as suicide, then as murder — now these charges reflect the police view that this was an assisted suicide. a chinese climber who was crippled by frostbite on mount everest more than 40 years ago has gone back — and reached the summit. shi—a boyu lost his feet after giving his sleeping bag to a sick team—mate during a storm. he's now 69 and is the second double amputee to scale everest. congratulations to him. back to the extreme weather in india. sandstorms and thunderstorms have killed at least 80 people. these are all symptoms of a freak weather system that's affected india for several weeks.

different areas affected — uttar pradesh the worst hit yesterday with more than 50 dead. west bengal was hit by thunderstorms, and further south andrha pradesh, again, hit by severe lightning strikes. you might remember a couple of weeks ago an incredible 40,000 lightning bolts hit there in just one day. here are some of the latest pictures. this is in new delhi yesterday. fiercely strong wind. a week ago, similar storms killing more than 100 people. people were terrified. in uttar pradesh, lightning strikes caused fires like these. these pictures are from kolkata, on the eastern side of india — as you see there have been different kinds of extreme weather in different places — there's also been heavy rain and thunderstorms. justin rowlatt sent this report from new delhi. all across north india, efforts are under way to clear up the damage caused by this latest

in a series of this latest one tore its way across a huge swathe of northern india. you can see the kind of damage it did here, trees brought down, branches collapsed. elsewhere, electricity pylons uprooted and houses collapsed on the people sleeping inside. at least one person was killed by a lightning strike. the prime minister narendra modi says he's instructed that rescue teams should go out and help those affected by the storms. he says his prayers are with the many people who have been injured. to get a sense of the kind of damage that can be done, have a look at this car. it was parked here overnight and a branch came down, collapsed on the car, absolutely shattering it. look at the damage, the car is a write—off and thank goodness there was no—one inside when that happened.

storms like this, pre—monsoon storms, are fairly common in india, they happen every year. what the meteorological office department says is that this year's storms have been far more ferocious. that's why we're seeing this high level of death and also the huge amount of damage that you see across north india. remember president trump's "america first" message? the officers on american jobs and industry. and then the tweet from the president. zte has been hit by sanctions which prevent the company from accessing its us—based suppliers. kim gittleson is in new york. help me through this one. help me through this onem

help me through this one. it is complicated and it just help me through this one. it is complicated and itjust got more complicated and itjust got more complicated because just before complicated and itjust got more complicated becausejust before i came an hour, another trump tweet, it said that zte buys a big percentage of parts from american companies and it is reflective of the larger trade deal with china and my personal relationship with xi. i think that explains what is happening here. zte is china's biggest telecom manufacturer, is worth something like $20 billion and most of the chips in its phones come from us manufacturers. the company is accused of breaking us sanctions by selling those phones to countries like iran and north korea and therefore it was fined $1.2 billion. the us said that it didn't sufficiently put controls in place after it was found to violate the sanctions and the country would be banned for several years from buying parts for american suppliers, which essentially shut the company down.

it has 75,000 employees. this is a big role reversal for trump it has 75,000 employees. this is a big role reversalfor trump to it has 75,000 employees. this is a big role reversal for trump to say that we're worried about the company, worried about its prospects. as i mentioned, in the tweet, president xi directly appealed to president trump saying that you have to do something, the company can't shut down. plenty people say that this is part of ongoing negotiations. there is a lot at stake, not just this one ongoing negotiations. there is a lot at stake, notjust this one company, ta riffs at stake, notjust this one company, tariffs worth billions of dollars that america has threatened on chinese imports. it is also geopolitics, the president is going to make the north korean leader in june and it wants china on its side. this is happening in the background and as part of the reason why it people think trump has reversed his position, he is prepared to negotiate on these thorny issues of trade and intellectual property. got it! one more thing to ask you. the

us supreme court has made a ruling which could see states across the us legalising sports betting. i didn't ra illo legalising sports betting. i didn't raillo is this but gambling on sport is limited to just a few american states. —— i didn't realise this. look at shares in the biggest bookmakers, going up. you get the impression that people in the betting industry were happy. i had no idea that sport and gambling word intertwined anyway —— were not intertwined. i had no idea that you could bet on sports! i am from new jersey, the state that brought this case, trying to get sports gambling legalised in this state. a law was passed here in 1992 effectively banning most states from allowing people to bet on things like major league games and the basketball play—offs. most states missed the window. they argue that the federal

government in passing this law over 30 years ago effectively infringed upon states rights in the united states. the us supreme court sided with newjersey states. the us supreme court sided with new jersey and states. the us supreme court sided with newjersey and the states that brought the suit which has led to this bonanza not just brought the suit which has led to this bonanza notjust in the uk gambling companies' shares but also here, for instance caesars. people trying to get the infrastructure in place. i spoke to a race track who are hoping to get it up as soon as is responsibly possible. thank you for joining is responsibly possible. thank you forjoining us. this week, argentina's government is due to make some crucial debt payments. this graph shows the value of the peso, the country's currency. you can see it has plummeted as investors began to question the central bank's decision to lower interest rates earlier in the year. that weakness has made it harder for the government to fulfil its debt obligations, and reports suggest that argentina is now seeking

a $30 billion lifeline from the international monetary fund. daniel gallas reports from buenos aires. on the surface, everything looks calm in argentina. for a country that needs billions of dollars from the imf, you do not see people panicking, going to the banks or even mass protests so far, but that is just on the surface. if you stop to talk to people here, you see that the memories of the imf are still very painful. translation: the last crisis with the imf, it killed my father. he got so ill from economic problems, it eventually killed him. this is very sad for argentinians. i could not buy medications for my kids. in 2001, the crisis forced my brothers and their kids to move to the us. in argentina, this has become a cycle. what we want is to prevent this happening again. the imf is not welcome here, but argentina needs its help. hundreds of businesses like this

book shop cannot afford to stay open and are closing down. at this liquor store, where many drinks are imported, tags are handwritten because prices are always moving. the national currency is sliding, imports are now about 30% more expensive because of devaluation, and on top of that, there is inflation. translation: the past two years, electricity, gas and water bills went up around 100—200%. to cover costs, we need to sell more and put up prices, because we cannot sell it, cover it all with prices. a few are taking to the streets to protest. many are still waiting to see if this crisis can be contained. the next few days will be crucial for the future of argentina's economy. there are billions of dollars of bond payments coming up tomorrow. argentina has not yet secured money from the imf. if investors keep taking their money out of this country, all the economic problems we have seen so far willjust be the beginning of

a much bigger crisis. daniel gallas, bbc news, buenos aires. large protests by palestinians in gaza, up against the border with israel. around 50 people have lost their lives because of israel's response. israelis say they were acting in self defence but they have been heavily criticised. amnesty international saying: the un human rights spokesman: however the white house in the last hour has come out and said any palestinian deaths that were witnessed today are the responsibility of hamas, the lead palestinian group within gaza. keep updating you as reactions coming.

i want to update you on a number of stories from across the world that have been making headlines, occasionally not for the right reasons. firstly in india where the satellite picture gives you some sense of the extent of the thunderstorms that have affected many thunderstorms that have affected ma ny states thunderstorms that have affected many states over the last few days and weeks and caused a number of issues. maybe you've heard stories about dust storms affecting some states, particularly the north—west. elsewhere, tens of fidelity ‘s because of strikes from lightning —— fatalities. we aren't even talking about the monsoon yet, remember. these conditions are from the pre—monsoon thunderstorms. many of these situations arise, most enormous thunderstorms which generates not only those dust storms but the torrential rain and the fear

of lightning. bangladesh very badly affected. our disrupted, there have been many fatalities and more storms to come in the foreseeable future. on the diagonal, from the south—west to the north—east, into the border with bangladesh. elsewhere, to the north—west, the concern is about the dust storms and also intends peak. crossing to africa, the same conditions —— and also intends heat —— intense heat. downpours and a situation with flooding across somalia come into either no beer —— into ethiopia and we expect more rain down towards urban, but sadly not in the drought hit areas although conditions have been

alleviated in recent weeks. a change of script, this was last weekend, not the skiing season in france, this was the last weekend when because it was so cold, around the northern and western flanks of this area of low pressure, there was significant snowfall into the alpine region. further north, a bit of warmth. temperatures above the seasonal norm. given the contrasting temperatures, that's why we've got so many issues with thunderstorms across the alpine region into eastern europe, towards the adriatic. by comparison in the british isles we are faring quite well, 22 degrees around london as we go through tuesday. from there the temperatures are going to dip into the middle part of the week. hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source, and these are the main stories here in the bbc newsroom. gaza has witnessed its bloodiest

day for three years. more than 50 palestinians are dead, israel says it was self defence. injerusalem, was the event at which palestinian fury is directed — the inauguration of the us embassy. israel's prime minister thanked the us president. president trump, i recognise in history you have made history. the head of domestic british intelligence, m15 accuses russia of criminal thuggery over the salisbury attack, and says it's using its power to undermine democracies in europe. instead of becoming a respected great nation, it risks becoming a more isolated pariah. and will be bringing reports of another suicide attack in indonesia. the series of suicide attacks in indonesia continues.

they've all been in the second biggest city surabaya — and the latest was this morning. five family members arrived outside a police station and detonated their explosives. all but one died, ten other people were injured. these were the moments before... this is cctv footage take moments before the attack. you can just make out the two motorbikes as they approach the checkpoint at the police station. what happened next is too graphic to show you. this though is the aftermath. you can see that those motorbikes we re you can see that those motorbikes were nowhere to be seen, and there's a huge amount of smoke. the family member who survived was an 8—year—old girl who was wedged between her parents on the motorbike. indonesia's president is vowing to force through a long—awaited anti—terrorism bill if parliament doesn't pass it. here he is speaking earlier.

this morning, another suicide bomb happened in surabaya. this is the act of cowards, undignified and barbaric and i want to urge everyone again, we will fight terrorism and eliminate the root cause of it. i have commanded the police to stand their ground, not to compromise and to do everything to prevent these terror attacks. bear in mind before that before this attack, surabaya was already on high alert. on sunday, six members of one family carried out a series of attacks on churches. they split into three groups — and then attacked these three areas of the city. this is one picture of the aftermath. 18 people died — including the family. and this picture of the family was released by police. the girls in front were 9 and 12. police say the the father

was the head of a radical group called jad which is inspired by the islamic state group. it's also linked to another attack hours later in the south of the city. this is the bbc‘s mehulika sitepu in surabaya. behind me is the surabaya police station that was attacked by a family of suicide bombers this morning. ten people were winded when the family of five, including children, blew themselves up at the gate. four attackers died but a 8— year—old girl survived. the police station is located at a main road which is normally very busy but tonight it was very quiet. the mayor has urged residents to stay at home. so far, police have arrested nine terror attacks and killed four others as they seek to eliminate attacks in the country's second largest city. on sunday, another family attacked

three churches in the city, killing 18 people including the bombers who then again included children. it was the worst terrorist attack in the country in more than a decade. the attacks were carried out by a cellar of islamic state inspired network. they were also responsible for a suicide gun and bomb attack in jakarta in 2016 and several other attacks on police stations. this man is rarely seen in public. andrew parker is the head of uk's secret service m15 — and he's used a speech in berlin to accuse russia of "criminal thuggery" and "bare—faced lying". on the attack on sergei skirpal, and his daughter yulia — mr parker says russia was guilty of flagrant breaches of international rules. you get the idea of the strength of

language being used. here's some of the speech. one of the kremlin's central and entirely admirable aims is to build russian greatness on the world's stage. there are ways for them todo that as part of the rules—based order. but it's repeated choices of counter pursue that aim through aggressive actions by its military services. instead of becoming a respected great nation, it risks becoming a more isolated pariah. in the speech mr parker described a russian ‘fog of lies. to which the russian embassy in london replied: "by the way, it's britain that is notorious for fogs." they'll need betterjokes and better explanations before this story goes away. here's the latest analysis from the bbc security correspondent frank gardner. andrew parker's stinging criticism

on the kremlin is the most unusual thing about this beach, because he has also talked about the threat from international terrorism, but he has never been quite so fixed visit enlisting rusher‘s alleged bad behaviour around the world. he says that it risks becoming an international pariah, and yet he looks forward to the day when he says, when britain can have cordial relations with russia. one of the things that he specifically pointed out was what he called the fog of deception of lies around the salisbury nerve agent attack. it is important to remember that russia denied responsibility for that, and that the british government believes that the british government believes that there is nobody, no other credible suspect that russia had got to be behind the poisoning of surrogate skip all, a former intelligence officer and his daughter —— of sergei skripal. he

hinted there might be more information than to be revealed about it, but he has not said what it is. andrew parker also talked about the islamic state group. we refer to him a few times... the light pink showed areas controlled by irs end—users and 15. the dark areas are still areas controlled in two d oze n areas are still areas controlled in two dozen and eating. that is a huge reduction in amount of areas controlled, but we are very much told that the threat still exists. 12 terror attacks have been stopped in the ukjust 12 terror attacks have been stopped in the uk just since the westminster attack of last year. here is more of the speech. mr parker in talking about the islamic state group uses the name daesh. europe faces a multidimensional terrorist attack.

daesh poses the biggest threat, but al-qaeda and other islamist terrorist groups have not gone away. with the police, we are actively monitoring the objective extreme right—wing terrorism, as we see in senses of that rearing its ugly head. our response is equally firm. the sickening impact shock and disgust of terrorism has been felt right across europe. this is frank gardner's analysis of those comments. it is no surprise that he has mentioned those groups, because that has been going on for quite some time. he gave figures that'll be about 25 attacks the last five or six years. it is interesting that he mentions right—wing extremism, to think that is important, because there's something that is easily overlooked. i remember very clearly when there was an attack in oslo,

i've got people thought, this has got to be an al-qaeda attack, but of course it was not. it was a right—wing extremist. i think that europe has probably can up a bit late to that latent threat. as far asi late to that latent threat. as far as i says is concerned, we know that mi5 as i says is concerned, we know that m15 have got around 3000 subjects of interest, and monitoring, but we also know, what does that monitoring no? it did not stop the attacks in britain last year. four terrorist attacks in the uk, in manchester and in london. over 30 people were killed, one of the ring leaders of those attacks were supposed to be a subject of interest. it is not a perfect science. and m15, despite all of its effort is unable to prevent every single attack. don't forget you can get much more detail on our top stories on our web site.

you may have seen reports of a stark statement from the eu's chief brexit negotiator. michel barnier had said there's been no significant progress in negotiations since march — well here he is clarifying what he meant by that. i would say a little, not very little. so, it remains a round of negotiations from now untiljune, andi negotiations from now untiljune, and i think i have two underestimate the key rendezvous ofjune, because asi the key rendezvous ofjune, because as i have already said, the clock is ticking. as our political editor puts it: "not exactly surprising to hearfrom him,

but not a great state of affairs." add to this that theresa may's cabinet are having very public disagreements about how the uk should trade with the eu after brexit. mrs may prefers what she calls a customs partnership — that is to say, the uk would apply the eu's rules to all goods arriving in the uk that are intended for the eu. last week foreign secretary boris johnson described that plan as "crazy". today, health secretary jeremy hunt hit back. i too think that is is important that we have these debates in private. not just that we have these debates in private. notjust because of collective responsibility, which is what democracy depends on, but also because this is a negotiation, and so on the eu's side, if they see divisions in the open, then they will exploit that. theresa may's been meeting conservative mps today — that's ahead of a meeting of the brexit subcommittee tomorrow. but, let me allow the bbc‘s norman smith to dampen any expectations you may have. "it's understood no breakthrough on customs options expected" tomorrow. live from westminster.

such are the divisions between the two sides in the party and the two sides in the cabinet, that theresa may ended up spitting up that senior group of ministers, that brexit subcommittee into two groups. it is a bit like kids in a school playground. they had to go and do their work on the two different options. we know that they will report back tomorrow, and as you say, we had theresa may meeting a backbench mps today. they said it was more like an information session, and theresa may was not coming down on either side. they

basically came away realising that it is seriously confiscated, and as norman said, we are not expecting a big announcement or a conclusion tomorrow. we hired michel barnier saying, let's concentrate onjune. that is an important deadline. presumably, theresa may needs to resolve this in a matter of weeks and not once. exactly. downing street says it will be speedy. but i think it is interesting what the chief negotiator was saying, which is that nobody should forget the significance of thatjune rendezvous, because time really is pressing, now. theresa may theresa may is currently negotiating with the two sides, but whatever she does, it has got to please both sides, between the northern ireland site and the republican side of that order in northern ireland, and all of that has got to be negotiated with brussels. so, the question for theresa may as can she come up with some sort of compromise that will please all sides. one of the things

i would like to ask you, helena, here is a picture of three politicians who are normally on the same side. we have got nick clegg, nicky morgan of the conservative party and david miliband, a former labour foreign secretary. different parties, one goal. they want a soft brexit, and they came together to promote it earlier. have a listen. the truth about the referendum campaign is that a lot of the issues that have been raised me last two yea rs we re that have been raised me last two yea rs were not that have been raised me last two years were not evident in the course of the campaign. what brexit and means in terms of the irish border was not evident. we have some somehow find ourselves in a situation in this country where if anybody dares to query what the referendum vote means or to voice their concerns, they are immediately labelled as a mutineer, a saboteur or labelled as a mutineer, a saboteur ora labelled as a mutineer, a saboteur or a traitor. the responses i have

found, as! or a traitor. the responses i have found, as i have spoken to prime minister 's, foreign ministers, officials and other european countries over the last few weeks and months. and the overriding reaction is one of complete bafflement. about what those who advocated brexit actually want. here is the pro brexit mp, jacob rees—mogg responded to this. "here you have three failed politicians trying to overturn the result of a referendum in which 17.4 million people qq leave the european people voted to leave the european union. they still don't get it.".m did feel a little bit wreck crochet —— retro with david miliband and nick clegg. it was a rare intervention from david miller band.

—— david miliband. basically saying that parliament should be taking control of brexit. nicky morgan saying that mps need to step up to the plate. but it was pretty safely dumbed down by jacob the plate. but it was pretty safely dumbed down byjacob rees—mogg. he said that these guys are fighting a last year guard action and they will not succeed. every step of the way we will be keeping you up—to—date on those biggish asians. ten years ago the shia cleric moqtada al—sadr was a wanted man in iraq — his fighters frequently clashed with us troops as iraq sought stability after saddam husain. fast forward to now — moqtada al—sadr is ahead in iraq's election — and he's standing on a platform that

rejects american influence in iraq — and iranian influence too. an alliance of candidates with links to shiite militia and to iran is second. in third is the incumbent prime minister, haidar al—abadi. there were celebrations when it became clear that the current president was following behind moqtada al—sadr. he was a staunch critic of the relationship of united states and iran. if his party does owe much as the front runner. he is not running for the

this is ghana, west africa. when i was seven, i was brought here from neighbouring country and had an eight shrine as part of a practice called trokosi. this is me. in 1997, i was filmed by an american tv crew at the place i was being held. i was labelled a trokosi, or a wife of the gods. paying for a crime committed by my uncle. but this report changed everything. an american viewer flew to ghana to negotiate my release, and he adopted me. now that i am older, ifeel and he adopted me. now that i am older, i feel ready to explore the cultural background of trokosi. it is practised in parts of ghana, togo, by various ethnic groups, one of which is... when i left the shrine there are about 5000 trokosi women in children in darlington

alone —— in ghana alone. it was made illegal in 19 98 —— a year after i was freed. i met this girl who is serving as a trokosi. i felt ifelt sad. she i felt sad. she came ifelt sad. she came here i felt sad. she came here two years ago at the age of 12. and so she misses her mum. i don't see how we can justify that. it was time to visit my birth family in tokyo, —— togo again. i had come to the village a few times, but i never had the courage to ask why they gave me away. i was now ready to ask my dad what he had agreed with my uncle. my

my ankle had committed adultery. his house was in the capital, a long way from my village. are you aware now where i was taken? he took me to ghana and i was placed ina he took me to ghana and i was placed in a shrine. he left me. i was supposed to be there for the rest of my life. this journey has helped thisjourney has helped me this journey has helped me value thisjourney has helped me value my own freedom, but it was hard for me to discover that there are still women and girls living under the trokosi system. it is unclear

whether meghan markle's father, thomas, will be able to attend the wedding. we have got this statement released from kensington palace: they say this is a deeply personal memo from miss markle. let's speak to tom burridge who is covering this story. this hasjust come out. thomas markle was going to sit play a central role on saturday. the glare of today's media on that wedding like no shuffle —— like no other. what has happened, according to reports from a celebrity news website, basically, they have spoken, they say, to thomas markle, and apparently he took part in a series of photographs with photographers leading up to the wedding, he was posing apparently

with some books linked to the united kingdom, photographs basically themed around britain and the royal wedding. and apparently, after taking part in that, he has decided not to attend the wedding at all. a p pa re ntly not to attend the wedding at all. apparently he doesn't want to cause any batsmen for his daughter meghan markle, and as you say, kensington palace not commenting on this particular points out, but coming out with this statement saying that this is a deeply personal moment from meghan markle, calling understanding from thence harry, and meghan markle saying that the media and the world to some extent some understanding to mr markle, thomas markle. they have not been published? as far as i'm aware they have not been published. i have not seen them. they were just a series of photos linked to the theme of the wedding. and according to tm said,

the paparazzi have been taking photos in the last few weeks since the engagement. apparently, he was keen to improve his image, so he entered into a deal of some sort with the photographers, a series of photographs, but has subsequently taken this position, i guess what we don't know is the background of whether that is his decision whether it has come from other parties involved. tom, thank you very much indeed. you will see full covering of the wedding on bbc news. we'll be back on the time tomorrow. hello, i have never went in a weather forecast, but this hello, i have never went in a weatherforecast, but this next statement is begging for one. if you are getting married, of course, you

high 20s and the high teens. some chilly night succumbed only second half of the week, as well. could be close to freezing at night, a touch of frost on the ground. chilly sat on thursday, some cloud building and then disappearing later on in thej. increasing sunshine and sunset. by friday, the damages will creep up a bit more after a chilly start. a fine day the most. but that weather front might threaten scotland. this is how the rest of this week is shaping up. it will take a bit of a temperature dip, and most places it is looking find it —— finance it. things will warm up a bit going into the weekend. i talked earlier about the weekend. i talked earlier about the wedding at the weekend. on saturday, it is the royal wedding. we have got high—pressure projecting

how weather for the most part. there will be some sunshine showers, not out of the question. more likely to be dry at windsor with some sunshine to begin with, some sun, a light breeze, it is looking perfect for viewing and participating. the wedding is much more thanjust what is going on at windsor. across the uk, there will be street parties, and we alljust about all of uk, there will be street parties, and we all just about all of the same boat. the sun coming back later on in the day and the temperatures rarely present for a saturday in may. high teens and sunspots into the low 20s. there is no pressure to the low 20s. there is no pressure to the north—west of us, on saturday. they may threaten scotland with bigger cloud and some patchy rain. as we go into the next week, the fine that can take weather system trying to push some eastwards. next
