you're watching beyond 100 days. widespread international condemnation of israel after 60 people are killed on the gaza border. but the trump administration defends israel, saying it has acted with restraint in the face of hamas provocation. thousands of palestinians turn out for the funerals of those killed in the violence — the worst in four years in the area. all eyes now on the white house. having moved its embassy tojerusalem, does america now have a plan for peace? also on the programme... meghan markle‘s father is reportedly back in hospital complaining of chest pains. her half sister says he is under enormous pressure. i think my father has really suffered at the hands of the media. i mean, they've presented him in the most horrible ways, highly inaccurate, and the goal of those photographs was basically because he was feeling defenceless. get in touch with us using the hashtag ‘beyondioodays‘ hello and welcome.

i'm katty kay in london with christian fraser. there were depressingly familiar scenes from the middle east today. thousands of palestinians mourning their dead. calls of condemnation from european leaders and the united nations, while america defends israel's right to boost security. what we don't know is what happens next. the violence that followed the opening of the us embassy injerusalem was bad and hamas has been criticised for putting civilians in harm's way. does the fighting last and what are the chances that any white house plan can work now? here's our middle east editor, jeremy bowen. on the border the soundtrack was anti—israeli songs, not gunfire. 2a hours after the killing, the big protests have stopped. but tyres were burning and palestinians looked warily towards the israeli positions. enterprising traders brought refreshments. so what's next? the israelis deal with the international fallout, the palestinians have 60 dead.

politicians and diplomats abroad call for peace, but real peace talks ended, failed, a long time ago, and with the current generation of palestinian and israeli leaders there is no chance of them being revived. the israelis started firing tear gas. the crowd, by then including many families, was getting too big. and the young men were getting too close to the border wire. much of the rage in the protests is brewed in places like beach camp — a tented refugee camp in 1948, now much more permanent. it was created as 750,000 palestinians fled or were forced from their homes in israel's independence war. now 70% of palestinians in gaza are refugees, stuck fast in history. at the al—farooq mosque,

this man's funeral was much quieter than his death — shot through the eye during the protests. his body was wrapped in the hamas flag. he was 23 and his friends were there to bury him. there were tender moments. israel said it told them to stay away from the border and hamas is responsible for what happened. his friend mohammed said he had worked at the hospital without pay because of gaza's collapsing economy. poverty and grief breed anger. at shifa, the main hospital, wounded men were being transferred to egypt for surgery. inside, they were still treating casualties from the protest. this boy is 16. all day, i've been asking palestinians if hamas forced them to risk their lives at the protests. no one said yes. "i did it becausejerusalem

is palestinian," said this unemployed 24—year—old. this is the busiest time at the hospital since the 2014 war. as a human being, i speak, it is horrible to think about. if you saw it yesterday, the situation, it is horrible. crying, bloody, pain, painful... what's happening? after the protests, it seems that many people are hoping for some kind of turning point. but the fundamentals of this conflict don't change. jeremy bowen, bbc news. let's get the thoughts of new york city councilman and trump supporterjoe borelli, who joins us now from new york. i have seen your tweets today, 23 yea rs i have seen your tweets today, 23 years this has been a decision in

the waiting and it is about time, you said, that donald trump took the decision. right, and thank you for having me. this is 23 years of fulfilment of us policy, not a divergences from it. it is something that has been promised since the days of bill clinton. it was promised by barack 0bama when he promised by barack 0bama when he promised it to the apac audience which is a conglomerate ofjewish organisations he pulls up it has been promised by the trump campaign and his people since he ran for office. and this is the fulfilment and acceptance of the reality on the ground. if you visit is welcome your standing in jerusalem and ground. if you visit is welcome your standing injerusalem and not where oui’ standing injerusalem and not where our embassy is standing injerusalem and not where ourembassy is in standing injerusalem and not where our embassy is in tel aviv. the issue of moving the embassy was an important bargaining chip in this whole process of peace negotiations. do you think the trump administration has enough in return from israel? it is not evident what they have got in concrete terms.

from israel? it is not evident what they have got in concrete termsli think they have got in concrete terms.” think the situation in the middle east has changed quite a bit. if you look back as far as 1948 or even a generation ago, this is something that would have been met with a lot more disdain from some of the sony arab neighbours israel —— the sunni arab neighbours israel —— the sunni arab neighbours. there will not be any military action. the harshest responses other than the palestinians honestly were from the iranians and the turks. i think the situation has changed, that is more cooperation between israel and some of its powerful neighbours than ever. if you look back historically, bill clinton himself was the one who famously said that his biggest regret of his presidency was actually trusting yasir arafat in delivering his part of the peace deal that was proposed in the 905 will stop to change. your broadcaster 5aid will stop to change. your broadcaster said in the report from gaza that something had to change.

not recognising jerusalem a5 gaza that something had to change. not recognising jerusalem as the capital of israel was never going to be accepted by one side of the negotiation process are none. thi5 i5ju5t the negotiation process are none. thi5 is just the fulfilment of some big the us has been promising to do, fairwarning, 23 years the us has been promising to do, fair warning, 23 years in coming and i'm happy that it came. but to get that peace plan, yet talked about the ultimate deal, unique israelis to make what could be quite painful concessions. do you just hand a decision like this without getting something back in return from the israelis? no, and i imagine there will be some conce55ion5 coming. jared ku5hner yesterday was pretty clear in his speech that both sides will add to give a little to gain what presumably both people want which is two separate contiguous nations for their people to live in in some peace. but the reality has changed. we don't want to see these

pictures of palestinian people being killed, whether they are being provoked killed, whether they are being p rovo ke d by killed, whether they are being provoked by hamas or not. but if you go back a few years to 2014 and 2015, these were some of the most violent years on the board of gaza and the west bank and there was no embassy moved to deal with so i do think the situation has changed fundamentally because of this move, i think the larger geopolitical situation in the region is more responsible for what is happening today and unfortunately i think the palestinians might have accept the fa ct palestinians might have accept the fact that their neighbours are more willing than ever to cooperate with israel especially when it comes to be growing iranian influence in the region. thank you very much for joining us. earlier we talked to the secretary general of the norwegian refugee council and un humanitarian advisor, jan egeland. the americans and israelis say that israel had the perfect right to self defence and they have acted with restraint against hamas. we never

did so much from the international community to that the israelis have acted with too much force. how do you determine this? what our people oi'i you determine this? what our people on the ground seeds is a lot of desperate gaza families going to the fence, demonstrating. and there are also many youngsters and others throwing stones, some have kites that they try to get over with some flammable material. but the response is shooting with live ammunition into a civilian population. and thousands of people had been injured i'iow. thousands of people had been injured now. i don't know of any fatalities and hardly any people wounded on the other side so to me it looks very one sided. and yet we hear criticism that hamas does not do enough to protect civilians and even children of going to that front line and

putting themselves in harm's wake. indeed, i would putting themselves in harm's wake. indeed, iwould not putting themselves in harm's wake. indeed, i would not want to bring my children to this fence. it is very dangerous. but you would not believe the desperation now among ordinary families in gaza. i had been travelling there now for 25 years. gazais travelling there now for 25 years. gaza is smaller than the municipality of oslo where i live. there are now 2 million people there, half of them are youngsters. if you are an 11—year—old girl, you have only had blockade and you have seen three wars and now this on top of it. there is no reason to be surprised that people are so desperate that they want to protest. hamas have been violent in the past. it always surprises me that the israeli say that the palestinians could make it was entered against hamas as if this was a pluralistic society but we know that you cannot

get out. there is only one rule and the only party that survives in gaza is the party that, in some way to defend them against the humiliation they are suffering. and the result of all of that is polarisation. it is not like people get more moderate by living under those conditions, there is polarisation. my organisation, myself, have had many problems with hamas with the times and my organisation was closed down for a time by hamas because of our independence. but there is a difference between being occupied and being an occupier, a difference between a civilian population and, on the other side, having a large, armed organisation. israel deserves to live in security, israel has an enormous self interest to avoid continuing like now. they had to

reach out to the palestinian side and say, let now negotiate a better future for both of us. you know this from having lived in the region, everything is symbolic in the stands and timing is important and this all happened, the moving of the embassy, the violence we are seeing the all on the most —— one of the most important days of the year. this date in particular, the nakba. when i was there in 2008, i remember a woman who had had her house bulldozed by the israelis, the second time she had lost her home to them having been an original refugee from 1948 and all she had was a suitcase on which she sat. she got up suitcase on which she sat. she got up and went into the suitcase and from within the depths, and remember these were her last possessions, she pulled out a key. and for the palestinians, the key you will see them carrying on a day like today, thatis them carrying on a day like today, that is their right of return, that is how they see it. there are only

around 30,000 refugees left and this is the following generation but it is the following generation but it isa is the following generation but it is a hugely important dates for palestinians. and we saw that symbolism in jeremy palestinians. and we saw that symbolism injeremy bowen's report as well. heavy fighting is continuing between taliban fighters and local forces in the provincial capital of farah in western afghanistan. the militants launched a coordinated attack more than 15 hours ago. reports say parts of farah city have fallen, and residents are desperate to flee but are being told to stay put by the militants. members of the scottish parliament have rejected a key part of the uk government's brexit legislation. msps voted by 93 to 30 to reject the eu withdrawal bill, which transfers eu laws to the british statute books. government ministers in scotland are unhappy that their powers could be limited for up to seven years under the proposed legislation. a chinese pilot is being described as a hero for landing a passenger plane after the co—pilot was almost sucked out of the cockpit window. the cockpit windscreen smashed at around 10,000 metres but the first officer managed to land the plane. the co—pilot is being treated

for minor injuries. none of the 119 passengers were hurt. that was a lucky escape. the duke of cambridge hasjoined a team to rebuild a boxing gym destroyed by the grenfell tower fire for the bbc television show diy sos. prince william has been helping to create a new home for the dale youth boxing academy and a community hub near the site of the blaze in which 71 people died. he met volunteers all affected by last year's tragedy. wedding news now. the reason i am here, other than saying hello to christian. meghan markle's father, thomas, is said to back in hospital after suffering a heart attack a week ago. it's still not clear whether he'll be attending on saturday. last night the celebrity gossip website tmz reported that mr markle was still suffering from chest pains and was taking valium. amid embarrassing disclosures about his dealings with the paparazzi, mr markle has told friends he wants to avoid further embarrassing his daughter.

but he has also told reporters today he wants to leave the hospital so he can walk his daughter down the aisle. so what is going on? 0ur royal correspondent, nicholas witchell, reports. it's the day they've been planning ever since their engagement. but, with just four days to go, it's not at all clear whether the father of the bride will be there for meghan‘s big moment. miss markle and her father, thomas, are said to be close. she's been looking forward to having him at her side to walk her up the aisle. it was this security camera footage, obtained by the mail on sunday, which showed mr markel apparently colluding with a freelance photographer to take a set of pictures of him, which were then sold to newspapers around the world. and all of this at a time when kensington palace was appealing to the media to respect his privacy. miss markle and prince harry were taken aback last night when reports emerged that mr markle had decided not to attend the wedding. he was quoted as saying that he wanted to avoid causing the couple any embarrassment.

since then, there have been attempts to reassure him that he will still be welcome. mr markle's daughter from his first marriage has defended his actions. i think my father's really suffered at the hands of the media. i mean, they've presented him in the most horrible ways — highly inaccurate. the goal of those photographs was basically because he was feeling defenceless. so, should kensington palace have done more to support mr markle? kensington palace might have done a bit more but very difficult for them given that thomas markle is a very private person. maybe meghan should have taken the lead on this one. in windsor, preparations for the wedding day are being finalised. will the father of the bride be there? meghan markle, by all accounts, is still hoping very much that he will. nicholas witchel, bbc news. i thought royal weddings, unlike our weddings and normal people's weddings, well meant to go off without a hitch. every wedding needs

a last—minute hitch! i am wondering if the hospital story, if that is the get out story. we know he is quite reclusive. i am quite sympathetic to him. i am sure he has been hounded by the media. maybe he decided he would do one set of pictures with one paparazzi man so the rest would go away. we can make it look staged... i note there is the discussion about payment, but i just wonder. what it means is that we're spending a minute on this programme talking about the drama surrounding her and her dad on whether he was paid and paparazzi photographs and his health, and not focusing on the wedding and the dress and the fairy tale of it which is presumably what the palace would like us to talk about. in a way, the problem with this is that it is the drama surrounding it which is not what the narrative is to be. well, one american who definitely will be at the royal wedding

is the most reverend michael curry. in 2015 he became the first black presiding bishop of the episcopal church and has been described as a brilliant pastor and stunning preacher. in a break from royal tradition, the american pastor will deliver an address normally given by senior clergy from the church of england. reverend curry is currently based in buffalo, new york, but before that he was in north carolina. we can go there now to speak to his friend reverend lisa fischbeck. thank you forjoining us. what is reverend curry like and what will he add to the wedding? wow, i'm thrilled to have a chance to talk about bishop curry. he is a man of high energy and good humour, a man of deep—seated love of god and a strong desire for everyone to know that love. he will be bringing that energy and zeal and humour and deep love to the wedding no doubt. i'm

sorry, i demoted him from bishop. he does not sound like a buttoned up church of england traditional preacher? no, he is not at all buttoned up! he is very lively, and i can't say it enough, what a loving human being he is but also how passionate he is and how high energy he is. he is often quite unreserved in his preaching although he can stay very much on focus with the message he wants to give. but he is unrestrained in his movements and cadence. he will definitely be heard. right! lets get a flavour and heard. right! lets get a flavour and hear a little bit of one of his sermons, this was him giving his christmas message in 2017. god is showing us injesus how to become god's family and how to change and build and make a world where everybody is a

part of that family. where children don't go to bed hungry. where no one has to be lonely. where justice is real for all and where love is the ultimate law. know there's a story behind the story, and it's a story worth singing about. goodness me, that is a treacly voice! working at a bishop it could be an announcer for the films, i don't know! does it matter that he does not know meghan markle and prince harry? wow, i think that is a challenge for any preacher, to preach a wedding homily for a couple you have not met. he knows a lot of the back story about harry and meghan. i think he can glean a lot from that. but i think his message,

ican from that. but i think his message, i can guarantee it will be about love, and one of his lines is that if it's not about love, it is about god, so his message will be about god's love and he will apply that to their love for one another. he could preach that at any wedding but i think he will be very aware of who he is preaching for and the context in which he is preaching. i hope very much he gets to meet them before the actual wedding! do you think he will be intimidated? he is preaching before the queen of england and 600 guests and actually the whole country and probably the whole world so it could be one of the most important sermons he will give. i can see that. in our church and in many churches in north carolina people will be hosting wedding watch parties because he is the preacher. he is not a man who reveals intimidation because he is so reveals intimidation because he is so centred on god and god's love and

he knows what his message is and he is very confident in that message. i think he will certainly be excited. i have no doubt he will be a little bit nervous but i don't know if i would apply the word intimidated to michael curry. he just has a confidence born of faith. and i am sure he will know the archbishop, justin welby thought i will share a fa ct justin welby thought i will share a fact with the audience, that the st george's chapel ‘s optical in britain a royal peculiar which means it is outside the jurisdiction of the archdioceses and it is in fact the archdioceses and it is in fact the crown that look after it. my hunchis the crown that look after it. my hunch is that the queen has been consulted about this and is happy for him to lead the sermon. she must have been involved. i would think so. have been involved. i would think so. i mean i'm an american so i don't know but i would think so! christian is hingis and he does not really know, he is speculating! ——

is english. the reason i think it is fascinating, for instant when it comes to gay marriage, the episcopal is more liberal than the church of england so she has thought that it is important for meghan and we will have the bishop here in england for the ceremony which is quite something. for instance! it is quite something. for instance! it is quite something indeed, there is a lot about this that is quite something. are you going to be watching? yes, we are hosting a breakfast party watch at our church. women are going to be encouraged to wear hats, we understand the queen is arriving at five minutes to noon your time which is about five to seven in the morning and we will have tea and scones and all that good stuff and we will be watching. thank you for being such a good sport and thank you for sharing your thoughts about the bishop. and looking ahead to our special coverage, we will be live

in windsor from thursday, building up to the big day on saturday. and i will have later some of my fa cts and i will have later some of my facts of the day. more of them! with graphics this time orbits of papal —— or bits of paper? graphics this time orbits of papal -- or bits of paper? we might push the boat out! sometimes a political statement is as simple as taking off your shoes. the cannes film festival has a rule that all women on the red carpet have to wear high heels. but actor kristen stewart has defied that ruling by not wearing shoes at all. the twilight star was wearing black louboutin heels as she arrived for the premier of blachklansman. but before entering the screening of the spike lee film, she took her shoes off to walk the red carpet. yes, this is 2018. so full disclosure, we have a disagreement about this and christian thinks women should pop up around on heald and do damage to

their feet and possibly their spines most of the day is on the heels. their feet and possibly their spines most of the day is on the heelsm makes me sound like an alpha male but i'm not! it is a set piece event, that the strict dress code, the men have to go in a tuxedo.” don't have too wear high heels. she good abroad flats. then why is it a fuss? she could have worn flats. maybe it needs spelling out. we don't agree on this, clearly! this is beyond 100 days from the bbc. you can bring yourflats! coming up for viewers on the bbc news channel and bbc world news, the new figures from facebook about the many millions of posts they've taken down containing inappropriate material. the numbers are staggering. and from california to kensington palace, we report from la, speaking to those who know meghan markle best. that's still to come. hello, let's get you up to speed

with how we see the next few days across the british isles. it has been quite a day for some parts of eastern scotland, england and wales for the most part has been glorious but for others, less so for the quite a bit of cloud in the north and west of scotland and in northern ireland and has been the odd bit of rain as this weather front moves slowly to the east. 0ver rain as this weather front moves slowly to the east. over the next few hours it will continue its journey further south and east. thickening the cloud supposedly to bring some rain to the north and west, pa rt of bring some rain to the north and west, part of wales as well —— sufficiently. underneath the clear skies in the north the temperatures will drop markedly and that weather front is important because where some places reached 23 on tuesday, you probably will not get those values because behind the cold front, we are going to the cooler

and pressure conditions tumbling in from the north and west. that is the split on wednesday afternoon, the cloud with rain across the south, no more 22 or 23, closer to 13 or 16. further north, fresher but at least there is some sunshine. and the mornings for the rest of the week might have a touch of frost. 0n thursday, many of the skies will be click a breeze coming of the chilly north sea, said on the coast you could be down at 11 or 12 degrees. a bit inland, a bit of sunshine, 16 or 17. this is friday, not a great deal changing because quite pressure is dominant. there will be some cloud coming off the north sea tempering the feel of the day but where the skies are clear, very pleasant, 16 to 18 and a lot of dry whether to go

with it. and for that we had to thank this high pressure which will sit around for much of the weekend. showers are not 1 sit around for much of the weekend. showers are not! million miles away from the far south and east and this front eventually makes progress into the north and west of the british isles. the royal wedding looks essentially to be dry if somewhat cloudy. hello and welcome to beyond one hundred days with me, katty kay and christian fraser, in london. our top stories. the un condemns the unrest on the gaza border as funerals are held for the palestinians killed in the deadliest day of violence since 2014. the us says israel has a right to defend itself. it's still not clear if meghan markle's father will be walking her down the aisle on saturday. herfamily says he is under a lot of stress but there are reports tonight that he is intending to come to the wedding. coming up in the next half hour. he's one of president trump's top republican critics. we speak to governorjohn kasich about why he's putting out the welcome sign for legal immigrants. two german footballers cause

a political storm for pledging allegiance to the turkish president — we'll be finding out why. let us know your thoughts by using the hashtag ‘beyond—0ne—hundred—days'. donald trump likes to say how well he's doing and if you look at recent poll numbers, which we showed you yesterday mr president he has a point. a series of recent opinion surveys give mr trump his highest ratings in nearly a year — albeit from a low base. the economy is up, unemployment is down and even wages are rising. today he tweeted his satisfaction, "i now have my best poll numbers in a year. much of the media may be corrupt, but the people truly get it!" so where does that leave mr trump's republican critics, people who might even like to run against the president one day? for more we are joined by former republican presidential candidate and current governor of 0hiojohn kasich. thank you forjoining us. what you

make of those approval ratings and hits the right that the american people are starting to see that he is doing a good job but the country. well the polls are absent down, as more people are working that is a good thing and wages are rising which is good. i'm happy about that, the better that people do the better we are as a country and i am for that. i do not look at things like he does well and that is sad, if the economy is getting better that is great as it helps families. it boosts his chances for real action perhaps in 2020, i know it is far away. wait a minute, you had a weather forecast and predicting what is going to happen in the next week

let alone in three years, i mean the weather is more predictable than politics in america today. let's ta ke politics in america today. let's take a hypothetical, hypothetically. the news is the american economy is doing well, he is out there on the world stage in ways that certainly are shaking things up, we do not know the outcome. and clearly the american public is starting to look at this president and saying this may be a good thing for the country. the fact is there is still great polarisation and i do not know what poll numbers you have not what i consider good poll numbers, 60% approval, i do not know what the approval, i do not know what the approval is and i do not want to talk about numbers because they come and go depending on the way the wind is blowing. what i would like to see not just from the president

is blowing. what i would like to see notjust from the president but all readers is greater unity. i would like to see less partisan politics and more of an effort to pull the country together because i believe that we are entrenched in a hard poll on the left and had poll on the right and poll on the left and had poll on the rightand in poll on the left and had poll on the right and in between is this vast ocean that i think means that the people who are objective and people who are rational and people who can seek the truth and in a post truth environment, these are people regardless of party philosophy the late to create a network so america can be more united. —— who need to create a network. some senators are very unhappy about the comments made by kelly saddler aboutjohn mccain, someone i'm sure you know very well. should he apologised tojohn mccain on behalf of kelly saddler?” should he apologised tojohn mccain on behalf of kelly saddler? i think so. that news is kind of fading but lower—level people in any

administration can say things and i do not know that much about who this person is and i guess she tried to apologise, i do not know but if someone did that in my administration and it was something i thought was untoward or uncalled for, i probably would have to say something about it myself as the governor. i would have to say i'm sorry that happened. but a lot of the focus has been on the league and meghan mccain, the daughter ofjohn mccain has said you only get leaks if you do not engender loyalty. this could be a problem with the way the white house is run. ijust told you what i think about it, that he should apologise, end of story. let me ask about your initiative in ohio to try to attract immigrants to the states. we keep hearing about the tension around the issue of immigration, i'm here in london for the moment and we care about this

issue in europe as well. what is the purpose behind this new initiative, is it to improve the economy of 0hio, is it to improve the economy of ohio, to shut immigrants that they are welcome in the country that is meant to be the country of immigrants, whatare meant to be the country of immigrants, what are you trying to do with this? all the above, i should've hired you to come and do my press, that was perfect. first of all we do need permission growth in my state. we are doing quite well here but the limits are based on the fa ct here but the limits are based on the fact that we do not have all the population we would like. and we believe immigrants can be valuable to that and the fact they had been as we have looked at it throughout this year. but in addition to that when people come here as immigrants and they do not quite know where to go and how to do things and you know my kid is thick and i do not know how to get a doctor or social security number, what people to

assimilate, we want them to be in a position where they can get work, they can be successful and where the family is strengthened. everyone tends to think about all this stuff in political terms, i do not give it that way. i think of it as being a human being with an obligation to help other human beings be successful. and to do well and have peace in the family and that is precisely what this is about. so if you come to a higher and you do not quite know where to turn, we have a place where you can go that will serve as a clear area and then we will pass you are to places so you can help —— get the help you need. i believe immigration brings great vitality and strength and notjust our country but our state. so i think that this is a cool idea and i'm excited about it. in a battle for tariffs with europe, what with that do twojobs for tariffs with europe, what with that do two jobs in your state?” believe that we need an expedited

process when it comes to trade violations, so if you play cricket match and someone's cheating you have got to call them on it. you do not have a debate because the game is already over but i believe free trade brings greater global severity and benefits consumers and improved relationships. so i'm a free trader, ijust do think relationships. so i'm a free trader, i just do think that we have to have a mechanism so we can resolve disputes in a quick manner and that preserves the ability to be strong for free preserves the ability to be strong forfree trade. so preserves the ability to be strong for free trade. so when the united states once to shrink for that or just level terrace, i do not think if good idea for the world and not a goodidea if good idea for the world and not a good idea for america. thank you very much forjoining us. iran's foreign minister is in brussels today — the final stop on his global tour, to rally support, following president trump's decision to withdraw from the iran nuclear deal. mohammad javad zarif has already held talks in china and russia — now, he's meeting the three european union nations, involved in the pact.

well, the british foreign secretary, borisjohnson, is also there in brussels today and had been urged by the husband of nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe, to raise her case with his iranian counterpart. she's currently serving a five—year jail sentence in iran after being convicted of spying. but richard ratcliffe says his wife is "shaken and bewildered" after learning she could face new charges. mr ratcliffe is with us now. what are these news charges your wife could be facing. well on sunday her father met with the prosecutors office and was told there was a new open case against terror. there was a closed case and this new open place. 0ne charge was resurrected in the autumn and it seemed to me it is coincidental in the fact that he is meeting today with foreign ministers

and planning on going to around quite soon. do you have any news of that? i think it is happening right now. but he did say all he said to you in november he would leave no stone unturned in his efforts to bring her home, borisjohnson. do think he has been good to his word? backin think he has been good to his word? back in november we were hopeful when he went to iran and made clear there were seven bilateral issues that he would try to clear up and get that sorted. 0bviously things are complicated and it took longer. but things went wrong and it did not happen and clearly at some point we got the message to say we're waiting, it is not solved and then just before easter we had this new case clearly invented. and nazanin saw thejudge last case clearly invented. and nazanin saw the judge last week who said it was made up and they could not do anything. i concerned that the case

will be caught up in the issue of the americans pulling out of the iranian nuclear deal and that she somehow made the collateral.” iranian nuclear deal and that she somehow made the collateral. i think thatis somehow made the collateral. i think that is the context that causes tension between the west and iran and certainly the family of nazanin are worried. and those of us prisoners. we're pulling in different directions, i think it is also the case that the president did say one of the reasons he did not like the agreement was because there are these foreign prisoners that had been taken and he put on the negotiating table to get that resolve. so we asked the foreign secretary today to try to find a solution for people being taken prisoner. last time you said you do not know how much longer she could go on. it is a roller-coaster, she was very upset when i spoke to her

yesterday morning. and then she was just really angry and had written to prison authorities to ask what was going on. she's on pretty serious medication to deal with panic attacks. i do not want to speculate but the longer this goes on the more caster is. thank you very much for coming in and we wish you all the best. some breaking news and north korea says it is suspending high—level talks with south korea that had been planned for wednesday the site enjoyed us south korean drills. it was all going in the right direction but according to the north korean broadcaster those talks, those high—level meetings that were due this week have been postponed the top we will try to bring you more news on that as we get it. the first hitch in what had seemed like positive news there. the americanjournalist

and celebrated novelist tom wolfe has died at the age of eighty—eight. he was best known for his debut novel, the bonfire of the vanities, which was made into an film starring tom hanks and melanie griffith as well as being the chronicler of the united states under president reagan. he died in hospital in new york city. a foundation set up by the billionaire george soros has announced its closing its office in hungary and relocating to the german capital, berlin. the open society foundation blamed what it called an increasingly repressive political and legal environment in hungary. its president accused the government of targeting civil society for the sake of political gain. the russian president, vladimir putin, has driven a truck across a highly controversial bridge, linking southern russia to crimea. the new bridge which connects crimea to southern russia — bypassing ukrainian territory. the project has been condemned by the ukrainian government and the european union. the german football federation has criticised its international players mesut 0zil and ilkay gundogan for posing in photos with turkish president recep tayyip

erdogan. the two german players, both of turkish origin, gave mr erdogan signed shirts at an event on sunday. mr gundogan wrote on his twitter feed: "for my honoured president, with great respect." mr erdogan is campaigning for re—election. several german politicians have also criticised the footballers, questioning their loyalty to german democratic values. gundogan has since issued a statement defending himself, saying it wasn't their intention to make a political statement, but rather a gesture of politeness. what do you make of this, i do not think it is about football but national identity and immigration. it goes to the root of the dispute the germans have with turkish president over his authoritarian style. there was a row about whether he would come to germany or not. i think in this context you have to set it in political terms. but you also have to look at the conflict

that many migrants have, second or third generation, in any country. they play for the german team and mezut 0zil is one of the best players they have, well cut winner was but obviously feel some attachment as well to techie. and this is the conflict that many migrants have, the birthplace and the way they have been brought up at home and their parents obviously turkish and at the same time feeling split loyalties. if they carry on winning goals for germany no one is going to grumble. this is beyond one hundred days. still to come. my my name is meghan markle, i'm 12 yea rs my name is meghan markle, i'm 12 years old... what made her the woman she is today? we have a special report from la, speaking to those who know her best. here, the fashion chain new look is facing criticism for charging customers more for larger sized clothing. the company says it's

reviewing its pricing structure, after some shoppers complained that a size 18 pair of trousers in one range, was 3 pounds more expensive than a size 12. here's sima kotecha. new look has found itself at the centre of a storm over pricing after marking up some of its larger sized clothing. it's not fair. i don't see why you should be penalised just because you're a bit bigger. most of my friends are bigger than me. so i think it's out of order that they have to pay more for the same clothes. on its website, different sized items at different prices. for example, a size 16 pair of trousers is priced at £19.99. however, a size 24 pair is £22.99. if you've got to use more material, you've got to use it, haven't you? it's going to cost, either way. it's the same with paint. you buy a big tin of paint it costs you 50 quid. you buy a small tin, it's only going to cost you 30 quid.

this isn't the first time a clothing retailer has been accused of marking up plus sizes. but, with obesity rates rising, some believe this kind of strategy could lead to better health. we need to take a new approach, which is a bit of stick. a bit of stick will be paying more for what you are buying in the shops if you are very large, as a reminder that — if you go on this way — there are real dangers lurking as a result of being obese. it's been a difficult yearfor new look. it's had plummeting sales and now, an image of a store its critics say discriminates against larger women is exactly the sort of publicity it doesn't need. the high street chain says it's looking again at how it works and will try to make sure that pricing differences — don't happen again. sima kotecha, bbc news. you're watching beyond one hundred days.

facebook says it has removed nearly 30 million posts containing sexual or violent images, terrorist propaganda or hate speech, in the first three months of the year. the company revealed the information in an unprecedented report, following calls for transparency after the cambridge analytica data privacy scandal. here's our media editor amol rajan. perhaps no company has been in the headlines this year as much as facebook. a privacy scandal, prompted by the leak of millions of users' personal data, has led to unprecedented scrutiny from lawmakers and regulators across the globe. facebook has long championed openness and today, for the first time, it published a report on how it enforces acceptable behaviour on its platform. in the first quarter of this year, facebook removed or flagged 3.5 million instances of violent content. that's a 183% increase on a similar number of posts they took action on in the last quarter of last year. and, through automation,

facebook removed 21 million instances of adult nudity or sexual content and 1.9 million instances of terror content. that's before anyone actually saw them. the issue for facebook is that its algorithms are so much better at detecting some kind of harmful content than others. so, while the technology is usually effective at finding spam or terrorist propaganda, it's less effective at finding hate speech. that's partly because one person's hate speech is another‘s fair comment. clearly then, automation has its limits and there's still a place for old—fashioned human judgment when it comes to cleaning up the web. facebook is yet to say how often it made the wrong decision on removing posts that violate its policies. there are also many areas, such as the exploitation of children, where data remains unforthcoming. when it comes to being completely open, facebook still has some way to go. before her engagement to prince harry, meghan markle

was known by many for her acting career and her campaigning, but what was it in her upbringing that took her down that route? 0ur royal correspondent, daniela relph, has travelled to her childhood home of los angeles to talk to some of those who influenced meghan and those who know her best. my name is meghan markle, i am 12 years old. it was her television debut on a children's programme to protect —— protest against sexist advertising. if you see something you do not like or are offended by on television or another place, write letters and send them to the right people and you can really make a difference, to not just yourself but for lots of other people. that campaigning streak was cultivated at her first school. her head teacher still has photos of herself with her star pupil. she praises meghan markle's family for the support they gave. a lot of credit has to go

to her parents for how they have raised her and what their belief systems are and what they have encouraged in her. there is no school system that does it all by itself. acting was an early love. endless school productions, like this one of annie. in the programme was a message from herfather. signed off with break a leg, love, tom markle, daddy. as a 17 year old she starred in 0edipus in herfinal year at school. an acting career beckoned. the legal drama suits was her biggest professional role. it brought some extra interest in her personal life, including who was her first kiss. it was when i was 13. where did it occur? it was like a summer camp. and this is 13—year—old joshua silberstein, then and now. he is an actor and comedian with

a clear memory of that first kiss. i think she made a beeline and just laboured on my lips. nothing too pg13. it was sweet. it was generous and courageous on her part. meghan markle's californian life before she met prince harry was one of great freedom. her new life is one of great privilege but she must navigate royal protocol and an intense level of public scrutiny. school, family, friends and her early career. all have been significant influences as meghan markle starts a new chapter in her life. with us is our royal correspondentjonny dymond. let's talk about the story of the

day, thomas markle, a sad story because in a way it is an early wake—up call for meghan markle about the pressures put notjust on her but the extended family.” the pressures put notjust on her but the extended family. i think it is the family that is key because to some degree she's under the detective cloak of the palace here and they have pretty good —— got pretty good at defending their people. but the family ‘s far—flung and it is difficult for all of them to be protected by the palace. so over the weekend one of the british newspapers said thomas markle, her father, who lives in mexico, had cooperated with the photo news agency to stage some photos, photos that did not look like he was agreeing to have photos taken but in the end were agreed by him. a p pa re ntly the end were agreed by him. apparently he took payment for it and around the same time he suffered something like a heart attack and said i'm not coming to the wedding. it was all really difficult because

buckingham palace had when the photos came out and said you are not meant to be taking these photos. but weddings are super stressful and i would not be surprised if people watching this would think this is what my family went through as well. not on that scale obviously but people have dysfunctional families and stressful relations.” people have dysfunctional families and stressful relations. i do not know how many photographers were camping outside your father ‘s know how many photographers were camping outside yourfather ‘s house for the obviously. 0n camping outside yourfather ‘s house for the obviously. on a human level it is just horrible for meghan markle, and for prince harry as well who was so angry at the way meghan markle was treated that he issued in late 2016 this furious press release put out he is thinking back of course to his mother, described as the most hunted woman in the world, hunted by paparazzi. so you have the same kind of people doing the same kind of thing to his fiancee. well

it is time for my wedding facts of the day, you have timed it perfectly. not enough in the tender for what it's all about. it is about the chapel, st george's chapel where the wedding will be. so how many monarchs are buried in st george's chapel? a rough figure is not enough? i don't know. it is ten. henry viii among them and his third wife jane seymour. how many have been married there? the future king was married there, prince charles and the duchess of cornwall. blessed there, yes. you had that coming. also buried in the church, george

vi. and the late queen mother. charles the first of course. and harry was christened in the church in 1984. we will see you back here tomorrow. hello, let's get you up to speed with how we see the next few days across the british isles. it has been quite a day for some parts of eastern scotland, england and wales for the most part has been glorious but for others, less so — quite a bit of cloud in the north and west of scotland and in northern ireland there has been the odd bit of rain as this weather front moves slowly to the east. over the next few hours it will continue its journey further south and east. thickening the cloud supposedly to bring some rain to the north and west, part of wales.

underneath the clear skies in the north the temperatures will drop markedly and that weather front is important because where some places reached 23 on tuesday, you probably will not get those values because behind the cold front, we are going to the cooler conditions tumbling in from the north and west. that is the split on wednesday afternoon, the cloud with rain across the south, no more 22 or 23, closer to 13 or 16. further north, fresher but at least there is some sunshine. and the mornings for the rest of the week might have a touch of frost. on thursday, many of the skies will be clear, a breeze coming of the chilly north sea, right on the coast you could be down at 11 or 12 degrees. a bit inland, a bit

of sunshine, 16 or 17. this is friday, not a great deal changing because high pressure is dominant. there will be some cloud coming off the north sea tempering the feel of the day but where the skies are clear, very pleasant, 16 to 18 and a lot of dry weather to go with it. and for that we have to thank this high pressure which will sit around for much of the weekend. showers are not a million miles away from the far south and east and this front eventually makes progress into the north and west of the british isles. the royal wedding looks essentially to be dry if somewhat cloudy. this is bbc news. i'm lukwesa burak. the headlines at 8. palestinians bury their dead, after yesterday's clashes with israeli forces, on the border with gaza. politicians, diplomats abroad,

copper peace. but real peace talks failed a long time ago. theresa may expressed concern over the level of violence. and while we do not question the right of israel to defend its border, the incidence of loss of life. doubts continue, about whether meghan markle's father will be at the royal wedding, the royal couple have now asked for understanding and respect, to be shown to him. the scottish parliament rejects a key part of the uk government's brexit legislation. it raises major constitutional questions for the uk government
