do, ithink houses and absolutely love what i do, i think really is a very interesting story for her. hello and a very warm welcome. more people are being told to leave their homes on hawaii's big island, as fountains of lava from the kilauea volcano continue to flow. you can see in the pictures molten lava engulfing a home as it continues to pour from the ground. the latest explosion sent an ash cloud 3,000 metres into the air, and one man was hit by lava splatter. it's the first serious injury reported. several of the fissures or cracks in the ground from the volcano are still growing, as our correspondent chris buckler reports from hawaii's big island. the lines of fire that scar this island are growing longer and thicker. and fountains of lava

are bleeding through the cracks. the kilauea volcano is thoroughly eating through the ground it once created. we're 3000 feet above the ground and you can actually feel of the lava and can smell the smoke. as the lava has risen up, people have been warned to leave if they live in its path. at this shelter they are offering food, clothes and help for those who have had to evacuate their homes. but there are families who already have nothing to return to. the house burned down saturday. so you have lost your house? 0h, everything because we got nothing out. i have three t—shirts and three shorts, so everything we have now has been donated or we have been buying. how do you feel at this point? scared, frustrated, worried. i have two kids to worry about.

where are we going to go from here? where are we going to rebuild from here? we lost everything. upset is all too easy to see in this corner of hawaii. roadblocks are keeping people from returning to their homes. 0ften often for their own safety. we actually had four residents who were inside the evacuation zone, but they got cut off by a lava flow and they were not able to drive out. so they actually had to be airlifted out one at a time by the county fire department. and all the time, kilauea volcano continues to threaten. for days this has been the spectacular sight on the skyline and you can even hear it from this distance. people nearby say that their homes have been shaken because of the force of the eruptions. we have to be ready to go with our bags packed and masks nearby. and if the air quality gets bad,

or the lava gets closer, we will go. all the indications are that the eruptions of lava are getting stronger and more violent. kilauea has left parts of this island so often promoted as a paradise, looking more like hell. joining us from hawaii is wendy stovall. she is a scientist from yellowstone volcano observatory. tell us what the situation is like they're at the moment. tell us what the situation is like they're at the momentli tell us what the situation is like they're at the moment. i am working in the laboratory right now. the situation at the moment is there are continued lava flows being issued from the long line of fissures that the viewer just saw there.

everything is changing, things are changing daily. this morning one of the big channels of lava was robbed bya giant the big channels of lava was robbed by a giant hole opening into the ground and the lava is now pouring into that and where it comes out is yet to be seen. there are still minor explosions at the summit of the volcano which are about 60 kilometres away. i know this volcano has been active for a couple of decades and people are used to volcanic activity there, but how surprising, how shocking is the ferocity of some of these exposures? it is actually not surprising at all. we have been doing a lot of research on kilauea, there has been an active observatory for 100 years on the volcano. we know there are periods of explosive activity like we are seeing periods of explosive activity like we are seeing 110w, periods of explosive activity like we are seeing now, the same types of event happened in 192a. and because of these fissures and lava flow

eruptions that have occurred so far, it is the typical force of an eruption, so it is not unheard of. it is the location where these lava flows are it is the location where these lava flows a re in it is the location where these lava flows are in these people's homes and neighbourhoods which is the tragedy. is that something that could have been predicted or not at all? we monitor the volcano, we have all? we monitor the volcano, we have a lot of instrumentation, it is one of the most monitored in the world really. so we knew that something was happening. we were able to track the underground using many different of instruments. when things finally did start coming up to the surface we have been able to do some modelling and determination of whether flows might go. modelling and determination of whetherflows might go. we modelling and determination of whether flows might go. we are trying to keep track of it, but we did not know when everything began to change that it would erupt in the middle of these estates. is there

anything scientists in other parts of the world can learn about this volcano? absolutely. there is a great organisation called the global volcanism programme and they have great resources about volcanoes all over the world. this eruption of kilauea itself will certainly be something that people will be researching for many years to come. 0ne researching for many years to come. one of the primary goals of the research is to learn more about the volcano and how it behaves so we can prevent these disasters from happening and use planning better so people are not building in areas that are prone to such lava flows. we really appreciate you joining us from hawaii. thank you. the united states and china have agreed to back away from imposing the trade tariffs on each other‘s goods that had threatened a trade war costing billions of dollars. speaking on fox news, the us treasury secretary, steven mnuchin, said the trump administration

would suspend plans to introduce restrictions, to give time to work on a wider trade agreement. iam i am pleased to report that we have made very meaningful progress and we agreed on a framework which is important to understand. the framework includes their agreement to substantially recluse the trade deficit. we also discussed very important structural issues that they are going to make in their economy to make sure that we have a fair ability to compete there, and also protections about technology which have been very important to the president. and here's the chinese vice—premier who's been leading a chinese negotiating team in washington. translation: the strongest demand from both the chinese side and the us site is to stop the trade war and stop imposing more tariffs on each other‘s products. this time both sides want to stop the trade war and

develop good relations. i think this isa develop good relations. i think this is a major demand from both countries. so why‘s this deal being reached now after months of tough talking from both sides? i've been speaking to the south china morning post us bureau chief robert delaney. i think both sides recognised that they were leaning towards an all—out bilateral trade war and there are a lot of voices, especially within the us industry, like the us chamber of commerce, calling for more caution in entering this phase. so it appears that both sides recognised that getting into an all—out trade war is not in either side's interest. so they buckled down, they have been together now for two rounds of high—level trade talks, and now they are talking consensus.

how important are they to each other‘s economies? the narrative donald trump was giving is they could pretty much do without china and similarly china was giving the impression they could do without america as well. china does need basic commodity items like soya beans. they need energy products like national gas. they also depend on us technology products like components and semiconductors as we have seen the issue around sanctions on the z te battleship plays out. the other issue is the us depends very much on a wide range of products from china and that is why we see retailers like walmart, and whether chamber of commerce is very vocal about trading with caution. it

is very much disrupts the distribution channels that are in place between the countries. manufacturers and those in china and the us depend on each other‘s goods. both sides are fooling themselves if they think this is not going to cause some sort of disruption. the palestinian president, mahmoud abbas, has been hospitalised in the west bank for a third time in a week. according to reports, he was admitted to hospital in ramallah suffering from chest pain and a high fever. he had minor ear surgery last week. the palestinian liberation organisation has described him as being in "good health". the 83—year—old's health is often in the spotlight, with no clear successor identified. the royal family has thanked the tens of thousands of people who travelled to windsor on saturday for the wedding of prince harry and meghan markle. the streets outside the castle were packed with people celebrating the couple's big day, while millions of others

across the world watched on tv. the designer of meghan markle's wedding dress has been giving more details about how it was created. our royal correspondent daniela relph has more. it was the big reveal, the first sight of the wedding dress. and behind the bride, straightening the five metres of veil, is clare waight keller, the british designer of the dress. she had kept fashion‘s big secret. givenchy was not widely rumoured to be the fashion house to win the coveted project. the aim was to always design a dress that was simple, sharp, and timeless. i think with meghan, she's so modern and fresh and i think that is part of what she wanted to be. it really wanted to represent her. i wanted her to feel absolutely incredible in the dress and i also wanted her to feel like it was absolutely right for the occasion as well. forfive months, the dress was made in paris by a small team of people, many of whom who did not even know who the gown was for.

all of those who worked with the bride yesterday described her as relaxed and unfazed by the scale of the event ahead of her. most beautiful moments. she is just so easy on that level, a loose kind of style and easy and not contrived, so... the wedding is likely to be one of the most watched tv events of the year. a peak audience of 13 million watched the bbc coverage. it is thought more than a billion watched globally. after sharing so much of their wedding day, the evening reception was a private affair. the couple drove through the grounds for a black—tie party nearby. the bride wore a new piece of jewellery, an emerald cut aquamarine ring, a gift from her husband. it had come from the jewellery collection of his mother, diana, princess of wales. the fireworks over the castle last night, one of the few clues

as to what was happening inside. further hints came via social media. tennis player serena williams posting this video of herself en route to the party. the duchess of sussex now has her own page on the royal family website. she describes herself as a feminist. the new duke and duchess of sussex will carry out their first public engagement as a married couple on tuesday. they will attend a garden party here at buckingham palace to celebrate the work of charities supported by the prince of wales. this afternoon, the bridal bouquet was laid on the grave of the unknown warrior at westminster abbey, a tradition dating back almost 100 years, after what was the most modern of royal weddings. stay with us on bbc world news, still to come... we report from kiev where finding a place to stay ahead of the champions league final is

proving to be an expensive business. this is bbc world news today. the latest headlines: the first serious injury has been reported from the eruption of a volcano in hawaii. a man was hit by lava splatter that shattered part of his leg. and a possible end to tariff threats? china promises to buy more us goods and services to reduce the trade imbalance. venezuela is holding its presidential election but is being boycotted by the main opposition, and condemned by much of the international community. voters are expected to choose president nicolas maduro for a second term. that's despite polls showing he's blamed for an economic crisis that's led to food shortages, rising crime and hyperinflation. mr maduro was one of the first to cast his vote. katy watson has more from a polling station in caracas. there are four candidates in this race and two important names.

first nicolas maduro who is running for a second term and henri falcon who, up until 2010, was a member of the government but switched sides. he has some challenges because the government sees him as a traitor for switching sides but also he broke with the opposition even running with this race. the opposition decided to boycott the vote but he says this is not the way to change politics and the only way is to take part. but when you speak to people on the streets, many people are disillusioned especially people in the opposition who feel that voting will not get them anywhere so most people voting will be much more pro—government and that is expected to strengthen the hand for nicolas maduro in the selections. the us president is

demanding an inquiry into whether his election campaign was infiltrated for political purposes. in a tweet, donald trump said he wanted to know whether the obama administration had ordered such a move. he says that on monday, he'll be putting in a formal request to the department ofjustice to open an inquiry. mr trump on friday accused the fbi of sending a spy into his campaign team. the new york times then followed with an article suggesting there was indeed an fbi informant who'd allegedly been sent to speak to campaign aides but only after the fbi received reports of "suspicious contacts linked to russia". let's get the sport now with ben mundy. rafael nadal has won the italian open for an eighth time and it means he will regain the world number one ranking from roger federer. but nadal won five games in a row and it is his 32nd masters title. simona halep improved in the second

set, but elina svitolina easily won her a final set, but elina svitolina easily won herafinal in set, but elina svitolina easily won her a final in a row. britain's simon yates stormed to a sensational solo win on stage 15 to take a tight grip on the overall lead at the giro d'talia. with one week to go, yates now has a lead of two minutes 11 seconds over the reigning champion tom dumoulin. iama bit i am a bit emotional after today. i gave everything. it is a good gap that he could take two minutes out of me. i have been fighting since israel to have a good gap and i have a good gap now and i am happy with that gap. but it could vanish. so we will see. so we will see. mo farah has claimed his first victory in the uk's 10 kilometre great manchester run. britain's olympic and world 10,000m

champion, who finished third at the london marathon last month, outsprinted uganda's moses kipsiro with 100 metres left, to win in 28 minutes 27 seconds. in the women's race, ethiopian tirunesh dibaba won her third straight title. for me i have got great speed and i know that at the end of races i can use everything if the guys have not hurt me enough. today was a matter of hanging in there and using my speed. i was pretty tired. i want to say thank you to everyone who has come out today to show great support. the next big thing for me is the autumn marathon. we have to work out which marathon i am going to do and which one will suit me and hopefully 2019 is the big one, the world championships and maybe tokyo. to moto gp, and marc marquez has extended his lead in the championship to 36 points. he won the french grand prix in le mans, aftera number of riders went down.

ducati's andrea dovizioso crashed out of the lead. that's the second race in a row where he's come off and means the italian is now 49 points off marquez. home favourite johann zarco, who started on pole on his tech three yamaha, also fell, while in second place. marquez though took his 38th race victory to equal two—time champion casey stoner‘s number of wins. he finished ahead of danilo petrucci and yamaha's valentino rossi. now, before we go, it's the end of the football season so we've had a lot of cup finals across europe. and in germany, eintracht frankfurt upset the odds to beat the mighty bayern munich to lift the german cup. and this is how their fans celebrated when the team returned home. a sea of supporters packed out the city's main square. absolutely bouncing there. it was eintracht‘s first cup win in 30 years so they definitely deserved the celebrations. and switching to italy, it looks like juventus

are in safe hands. wojciech szczesny managing to pull off an incredible catch during the club's title parade. the team celebrating here with fans in turin after winning a seventh straight league title and fourth straight coppa italia. szczesny played 17 league games forjuve this season, keeping 11 clean sheets. not surprised with hands like that. that's all the sport for now. thousands of football fans will be descending on the city of kiev this week for the champions league final between liverpool and real madrid. it's one of the most prestigious competitions in football and tickets are highly sought after. but, as our correspondent jonah fisher has been finding out, finding a place to stay can be expensive. this is where the champions league final will take place on saturday night. 63,000 fans will be packed inside the liberty stadium. i'm the mayor of kiev, former heavyweight champion of the world, for all sports fans welcome to kiev.

this will be amazing. there are certainly amazing sights, but the twist of kiev has also proved a somewhat controversial. the moment real madrid and liverpool were confirmed as the two teams in the final hotel prices really went through the roof. most places are full, others are trying to make huge profits. take this hotel. it's charging £1500 for the night. it's 12 km from here to the stadium. and a standard room at this place cost a whopping £2600 for the big night. that's more than 20 times the usual rate. as news of the price hike spread a revolt stirred. in the tower blocks of kiev.

for me, liverpool is notjust simply a football club but a way of life. not all the participants are crazy about liverpool like yuri and his son, but they're all upset that visitors are being ripped off. this page was set up offering free beds to visiting fans. i posted such a message. we are all liverpool. it's a liverpool supporters' chant. two people can stay here and if they want to go to the bathroom... yuri was very quickly swamped with requests from around the world. and he chose to host two brothers. i wanted to help some guys just from liverpool. why? because i know that liverpool is not a very rich city. more than 500 visiting fans arranged for accommodation for next weekend. # we are liverpool...

their plan is to watch the game on tv. of course, that won't stop them singing on theirteam. # we're the best football team in the world. the bbc understands that chelsea football club's owner roman abramovich has experienced delays in renewing his visa for the uk. the russian billionaire did not attend yesterday's fa cup final at wembley when chelsea beat manchester united. his office said it doesn't discuss personal matters with the media. that is it from us. thank you for watching. another sunny and warm day across parts of england and wales, but there were some sea fog patches which came on short every now and again. across scotland a good deal

of cloud and rain at times, looking distinctly cool and blustery in stornoway. it stretches all the way out to the easterly azores, strengthened by the jet stream coming in, dipping down on the atlantic. and tonight we will start to see rain in northern ireland, northern and western scotland, and it turns heavy and more persistent. some fog patches in the north sea coast, but for most it will be a dry night with largely clear skies. temperatures down into single figures, but nothing untoward for the morning rush—hour. the closer to the morning rush—hour. the closer to the post you are they will be some cloud and we will see rain at times in northern ireland and the far west of scotland. some of it will be heavy and persistent. cloud will bubble up from the south—east into the afternoon. temperatures inland reach 23 and 2a with one or two

isolated showers. much of northern england will be fine, maybe some sea fog patches on the north sea coast. 20 in edinburgh, but cooler conditions with those outbreaks of rain in the highlands and islands and in northern ireland. only 9—12d. the rain will fizzle out as we go into the evening. it is all because of this area of low pressure which is expanding in western europe, causing the risk of showers to develop. on tuesday high pressure builds around in the north and it kills off the rain. a bit of patchy rain and drizzle, but lerwick and stornoway are the coldest in the weather front. away from that one or two patches and a few isolated showers and thunderstorms developing in the south, but most will be dry with sunny spells and warm when the sun is out. that is the general

theme this week. chance of a shower or two theme this week. chance of a shower ortwo in theme this week. chance of a shower or two in the southern areas, but mostly dry and as well. more people are being evacuated from their homes in hawaii. a man suffered serious injuries as lather hit his leg. an end to tariff threats? china promises to buy more us goods and services to reduce the trade imbalance. the two countries it is shoot a statement pledging to avoid a trade war. the venezuelan government is accused of intimidating voters taking part in the presidential election. prince harry and meghan markle have both done their life together. the couple have now returned to london.
