9:00 pm
manchester, you rock! we love you, manchester! it really is time to go. you have turned out and you have been fabulous. this massive choir that is here and all of you, thank you. time to go home. we will do it again, i'm sure we will. go home, keep well, stay safe, manchester, and thank you for the music. that wasjennie mcalpine and you have been watching a special concert commemorating those who died and were injured in the bombing in the city of manchester, england, one yearago
9:01 pm
tonight. now, it is time for outside source. hello. i'm ros atkins. this is outside source. in the last few minutes, the secretary of state of america has been saying that china is offering support ahead of a summit with north korea. also ahead of that summit, donald trump has been making preparations, although president trump seems ambivalent about how this will play out. whether or not it happens, if that does, it will be great. it will be a great thing for north korea. and if it doesn't, that's ok too. whatever it is, it is. mark zuckerberg's in brussels being questioned by meps — and that smile on his face didn't last long. i asked you six yes or no questions. i got not a single answer. the people of manchester come together one year on to remember 22 people killed in a suicide bomb attack at an ariana grande concert.
9:02 pm
the volcano which is erupting in hawaii is now pouring love towards a geothermal power plant. we will bring you more on that. president trump and south korean president moonjae—in have met at the white house. here they are at the white house. president trump gave some more clarity on whether the summit will take place. we're moving along and we'll see what happens. there are certain conditions that we want and i think we'll get those conditions, and if we don't, we don't
9:03 pm
have the meeting, and frankly it has a chance to be a great, great meeting for north korea, and a great meeting for the world. this is commemorative coin that the white house military office has released to mark the summit. some might say — not so fast. pyongyang is still saying it may pull out. to show they are serious about the upcoming summit, north korea has allowed a handful of internationaljournalists to watch the closing of its only nuclear test site — but it's worth noting none of those journalists were south korean. and there were no inspectors either — so this is only limited transparency. the whole focus is on this site in the north east. this is a satellite image from last week. it's at this facility that all six nuclear tests were conducted. and it has a system of tunnels which we're told the journalists will see being collapsed. not yet, though.
9:04 pm
tom cheshire says "update: we won't be going tonight because of the weather. not clear if or when we will be." back to the meeting between president trump and south president moonjae—in. here's mr moon, translation: thanks to your vision of achieving peace through strength, as well as your strong leadership, we're looking forward to the first—ever us—north korea summit and we find ourselves standing one step closer to the dream of achieving complete denuclearisation on the korean peninsula and world peace. remember moonjae—in has been key in getting talks this far. here's mr moon with kim jong—un back at that historic meeting in april. mr moon helped lay the groundwork to the summit by emphasizing the north's willingness to eventually denuclearize. but take a look at this tweet from robert kelly. that tweet got more
9:05 pm
than 6,000 retweets. there is some interest in that analysis. the distinction of how north korea should give up its nuclear weapons is important, and as yet we don't know what that looks like. some analysis from su—min hwang, editor of the bbc korean service. i think what's more important than whether he's being seen as overstating his view on north korea is that the role that he is taking at this moment, this summer that will take place between president trump and moonjae—in, it was supposed to discuss the details of the denuclearisation and how they are going to make that happen and how the usa is going to secure the security of north korea's regime.
9:06 pm
now what has happened is that north korea is playing hardball and saying that we may not attend the summit, and they have cancelled the talks with south korea and putting pressure on both countries. so what is going to happen is that the role for moonjae—in has is going to happen is that the role for moon jae—in has been is going to happen is that the role for moonjae—in has been upgraded in that now he has two played the mediator role. he has too affirmed the alliance between south korea and the alliance between south korea and the us, and build upon that, you need to reassure trump that the deal will happen and he needs to relay the message from north korea based on his last summit with kim jong—un. i suppose his damages that he has done very well at getting the attention of donald trump and kim jong—un. that's easier than influencing what these two men do because they are incredibly hard to influence. they are, but remember that he does previously came out of a talk with kim jong—un at the april summit, and what he has observed in what he has talked about with kim
9:07 pm
jong—un will be quite important when he talks with president trump and president trump will be quite interested to know how the talk went. what about the domestic politics in south korea? has all this high level diplomatic activity may be president popular? very much so. may be president popular? very much so. it isjust may be president popular? very much so. it is just about a year until he was sworn in into presidency and he had about a 40% approval rating. at this point, his approval has soared up this point, his approval has soared up to 80%. and the approval rating for the upcoming summit is about 90%, so it is making him a very popular man and a lot of people are very approving of his role in this diplomacy. i know the idea of the reunification of the korean peninsular is still a long way away, but are these interactions with north korea changing popular opinion on whether it is desirable or not? that is quite a difficult question to a nswer that is quite a difficult question to answer because if you talk about the reunification, it's such a long, long way ahead that actually
9:08 pm
citizens are not thinking that far. what koreans want is actual tangible peace treaty. something that would stop the military conflict between the north and the south. analysis from the korean perspective. let's get analysis from the american perspective. barbara plett usher, washington. the secretary of state has this been talking. what would you pick out as being worthy of note? two things. one thing is that he said his team in the white house would be fully prepared for the summit in the event that it took place onjimmy eat world, so again tasked thing —— casting a question about whether it would take place. he also said it was clear that they were working to find a common ground on the understanding of the content, so spelling that out, something that had been becoming clear and cleaner. but he said he was optimistic and he
9:09 pm
said this may be something that goes right down to the end, to the wire, but we will have to see what happens. so those were the bits that we re happens. so those were the bits that were interesting with regards to north korea. sending the message that they are still working at it and they still think it can happen but they can say that it will for sure and possibly will not happen on the day that it was supposed to. do you know how the americans that the north koreans are communicating ahead of the summit? because normally ahead of a summit there would be a huge amount of diplomatic to and fro, wouldn't there? well, there is communication. we know that there is communication. we know that the secretary of state has had direct imitation with kim jong—un twice. there are also officials who are committed in with their cou nterpa rts are committed in with their counterparts in north korea. there is one track that is through new york. so there is a certain amount of medication, but i think the thicket of diplomatic interaction is not a stick at would have been otherwise. had it been a different administration. partly that is due to staffing. but also both leaders have taken quite an unusual amount
9:10 pm
of sort of diplomatic showmanship in how this is working out, so it is being done also in quite a public way, so you have on the one hand this kind of charm offensive and high expectations playing out very publicly, and then you have the sort of disappointment or confusion about where north korea stands also playing out quite publicly. whereas, you might have added less so in a different administration. we know the americans want to leave the summit with a commitment to denuclearisation in north korea. what are they offering kim jong—un in exchange? well, they say that they will give him security guarantees and mr trump has said this twice now in the last week, protection for the regime coming he says. that is, of course, to convince the north koreans to give up convince the north koreans to give up their nuclear weapons programme because it is seen as an insurance for the safety of the regime. they also say there will be economic rewards, sanctions will be lifted. the americans have offered economic
9:11 pm
help in terms of private sector investment, although the north koreans are not that interested in that side of things, or at least they have said that they will not be. the difficulty is that the americans are saying that all this will come only after the north koreans have ta ken will come only after the north koreans have taken very decisive steps to dismantle their programme, which would be quite a risk for kim jong—un, and if he is actually going to go that route, the route that he would prefer to take is one that is much more slow and phased and more something that he has control over in terms of what the outcome would be. thank you very much indeed. let's live now to brussels. well, things got awkward and angry when mark zuckerberg met leaders from the european parliament. look at how it ended. thank you again for inviting me. there was one question raised which is linked to my question, and that's on the separation of different services, and i think
9:12 pm
it's a very important question. the market power of facebook and the question if you cross use, for example, data between facebook and what's app, so it would be good if you at least say one word to that. will you allow users to escape targeted advertising? i mean, i asked you six yes or no questions. i got not a single answer. and of course, well, you asked for this format, well, for a reason. i'll make sure we follow up and get you answers to those. the format of the meeting has been the cause of a lot cnbc describing it as bizarre. criticism pouring in from all angles. damian grammaticus has been in brussels following all of this.
9:13 pm
as you heard there, it caused a lot of anger. those political leaders here in the parliament, 12 of them, who had the chance to ask questions, were left absolutely frustrated because they spent an hour going round in turn, all listing their questions, and then there was about half an hour where mark zuckerberg answered, but because he didn't answer each specific question in turn, he gave these sort of general answers, promising that facebook was cleaning up its act and it would do better, and they were very, very frustrated. as you saw, philip lombard said he had six questions that he asked. i spoke to him afterwards. he said he didn't get any straight answers, and he said to me, "i think this will increase the likelihood that we will call for more scrutiny of facebook, and those important questions about its size, its monopoly power." he said to me, "we learned this lesson with the banks, huge organisations say they can regulate themselves. the lesson we learned there was that they can't." please stay with us, damian, because as damian was explaining, the format of this meeting was that the members of the
9:14 pm
parliament asked all their questions in one go, and then mr zuckerberg gave the answers that he chose to give at the end. one question he didn't answer was on shadow profiles. these are collections of data on people who aren't on facebook. this is how this bit went. is there anything else here? shadow profiles. sure, so to your question, the... for the content that websites and apps send us, we think it's very important that people have the ability to clear this, so we just launched or just announced clear this, so we just launched orjust announced launched or just announced that we're building and will soon launch this clear history feature that allows you to clear all basic browsing history data. to your point about earlier around how do we separate out the security data, it's very important that we don't have people who aren't facebook users coming to our service
9:15 pm
and trying to scrape the public data that's available, so one of the ways that we do that is people use our service and even if they're not signed in, we need to understand how they're using the service to prevent bad activity, and that's a big theme of today has been around making sure that we can do a betterjob of governing the system, keeping bad content out. one of the ways that we do that is by understanding how people are using the system. but if you're not a facebook user, how do you stop that data being transferred? on a security side, we think it's important to keep it to protect people in our community. were any other themes that we want to get through? well, damian, there were lots of themes, but shadow profiles was one that they kept coming back to. why are the europeans so focused on this issue? it was interesting. he wriggled away from that question, didn't he? he didn't answer it at the end there. and the reason they're interested in that is
9:16 pm
because we have this new tighter european regulation coming in at the end of this week all about privacy, and what it says is that you as a user can go to facebook and say, "delete everything you have about me. i don't want you to have that, or show me what you have." the question was if you're not a facebook user and it collects information about you through accessing your activity on the web through applications or if you come to it without having logged in, how can you go to them and say, "i'm not a user — can you please delete my data." that is a key question for european legislators. they were left very, very unsatisfied by that, and another thing they were left unsatisfied by, interestingly, was a question about taxes. they said, "will you be clear about where your entities make profits and whether they pay tax and how much tax they pay in every jurisdiction?" and they don't feel they got an answer to that either, so i think what we are seeing is some signs of some real
9:17 pm
friction between european politicians and facebook. what's important to say in all of this, though, if this is the european parliament. it can express its views and put pressure on the governments and the european commission — they are the ones who would actually draw up legislation and seek to take action on this, but we have a tweet here that says, "if we don't get accurate answers, the eu competition authorities must be activated and legislation sharpened," so it's some pretty tough talk from the eu. stay with us on outside source — still to come... a new threat from the erupting kilaeau volcano in hawaii — lava has entered a geothermal plant which provides power for a quarter of the big island. the photographer who took the official wedding pictures for prince harry and meghan markle has described the opportunity as an incredible honour and privilege.
9:18 pm
alexi lubomirski, also took the couple's official engagement portraits last year. his pictures of the newly married duke and duchess of sussex were released yesterday. i wanted it to feel like a family picture. i didn't want it to feel too much like a sports team photo or an army sort of photo, very sort of regimented and linear. and so we talked about how we could break it a bit and get some rhythm into the picture and some asymmetry, and it all came down to things... just very little, tiny things. we weren't going to do anything crazy, just in terms of how you shot the room, rather than going straight on and getting everything symmetrical, we we re getting everything symmetrical, we were twisting it a bit, and also how were twisting it a bit, and also how we we re were twisting it a bit, and also how we were placing people. we wanted some people sitting and some people standing also kids on perrin‘s lapse. that was a big thing for me, to get that realness out of it. this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom.
9:19 pm
our lead story is: donald trump says his planned summit next month with north korea could be delayed. he's met with the president of south korea at the white house. other stories around the bbc: giuseppe conte is the law professor who's nominated to be italy's next prime minister, but he's facing allegations he embellished his cv. mr conte says on his resume that he "perfected his legal studies" at new york university, but the university told the new york times that there's no record of him having studied there. no decision from the italian president by the way on whether mr conte will take over. that's from bbc world service radio. rohingya muslim militants in myanmar killed up to 99 hindu civilians during attacks last august according to amnesty international. the group that's accused denies this. we know there were killings during an uprising against burmese forces, who are accused of subsequent atrocities. that's from bbc burmese. this, inevitably, has
9:20 pm
been getting a lot of attention online. this is fred, a ten—year—old labrador. a group of ducklings at mount fitchet castle here in the uk taken to him and now think that he's a parent. well, let's learn a lot about a woman. the new york stock exchange has appointed a woman as its leader for the first time, over 200 year since it was established. stacey cunningham is the new boss. joe miller is live from new york. well, she is 42 years old and she is currently the chief operating officer at the new york exchange, and she started as an intern on the floor of the stock exchange itself, quite a few years ago, and work your way up and is now in the position
9:21 pm
for the topjob. it's way up and is now in the position for the top job. it's quite a significant role, not least because the new york stock exchange is obviously one of the most important stock exchanges in the world, but 226 years ago when the stock exchange was funded not very far away from where i am sitting, not only could women not vote, they couldn't own property, so the fact that this symbol of american business is now being led by a woman is very significant indeed. and what are her primary challenges? well, it's not really clear that the new york stock exchange really needs to exist. these days, much of the trading is done by computers, by algorithms, and yet the new york stock exchange is really a holdout where there are actually human brokers on the floor. it is where we broadcast from as the bbc every day. the head of the new york stock exchange really needs to make a case for why this needs to continue and why it should be the focal point of the us economy, and that will be one of the main challenges of her role.
9:22 pm
0k. of the main challenges of her role. ok. thank you very much indeed. this next tory caught our eye. —— this next tory caught our eye. —— this next story. shares in chinese firms which make and sell baby goods have surged. that's because a report that china is thinking of abandoning its limit on the number of children a family can have. celia hatton has more. for so long, parents have had to save money for their children's education, save money for health care. they're not embracing the idea that a family is the way to go. but overall those companies do have things to look forward to. look, families are getting richer, want to spend more money. it's a $20 billion marketing industry a year. next a report from bbc russian. moscow believes it has found a way to fight back against recently imposed us sanctions. lawmakers want to stop exports of titanium to the us, titanium is heavily used by american aircraft manufacturers. there's a risk in this. here's oleg boldyrev from bbc russian. if you think oil and raw materials is all russia can export, think again.
9:23 pm
titanium is not precious, but knowing how to work with it is. here in a small town deep inside the euros region, they've been working with it for decades. this man is the world's largest titanium producer. among its contracts are key parts for american aeroplanes. "we are monopolists. there's no competition, so boeing has no one else to go to," says the head of this division. but russia's relations with the united states are heated. after the latest round of us sanctions against russia, legislators in moscow introduced a bill that would among other measures stop supplies from this factory to america. engines, landing gear, wing components. americans would have to look elsewhere. these two massive bits of metal will eventually hold together the wings of boeing 787 dreamliner. obviously any ban on exports to america would hurt american playmakers. trouble is, this will also hurt the earnings of this company and the life of this little town.
9:24 pm
this year the bbc women's footballer of the year is lucy bronze. she plays for england and olympique lyonnais and was one of the five nominees. lucy lu cy bro nze lucy bronze is the winner. she is the bbc women's footballer of the yearfor the bbc women's footballer of the year for 2018 and we went to her clu b year for 2018 and we went to her club a couple of days ago to surprise her, along with her auntie, julie, who gave the award. she was voted the winner by fans from all over the world, bbc world service operate this award. she is the fourth winner. she plays for england that she is a right back for a lyon. there she is in action, training for lyon. she actually scored the only goal in the champions league semifinal to send them through to the champions league final which is
9:25 pm

9:26 pm
hello. we will take a look at some of the biggest weather stories from around the world. look at all of the cloud we have seen on the satellite picture which is the arrival of the south—west monsoon, and it has brought a real deluge. we often do get heavy rain at the start of the monsoon. this has already caused some nasty flooding and there are reports of a number of fatalities as well. the monsoon has also been boosted by an oscillation which enhances convection. at the moment, it is in this part of the world, and thatis it is in this part of the world, and that is why the rings are heavy. we will see another 150 millimetres of rain in this part of the world, day by day, and there will be flooding problems. in pakistan, it is not the way that is causing problems, but
9:27 pm
the heat. in karachi, reports of 60 fatalities over the last few days as a result of temperatures that have reached as high as 44 celsius. they will stay in the 40s over the next few days. here, we have a deep depression in the arabian sea. this is going to strengthen to become a very severe cyclonic storm that will likely make landfall near old man and yemen. the winds are likely to cost at 100 mph or more and we will see some torrential rain, so flooding is likely here. even ahead of that storm system's arrival, we will get wind strong enough to bring sandstorms to parts of saudi arabia, so some pretty nasty weather conditions here. off towards the gulf of mexico, we have another satellite picture. this area of cloud and low pressure has also brought 80 millimetres of rain to the cayman islands and this law could develop over the next few days. it is over water that is 28
9:28 pm
celsius, so it is warm enough to see some development and it could possibly become a tropical storm. it would be rare to see a tropical storm in may. hurricane season sta rts storm in may. hurricane season starts on the 1st ofjune, but it could happen, and if it does we will see some heavy rain and strong wind going into the gulf coast of the united states and also some heavy rainfor united states and also some heavy rain for the west of cuba that would likely cause flooding issues. across europe, we are seeing a number heavy showers across italy and into the balkans over the next few days. i pressure is firmly in charge of the weather across scandinavia, bringing fine weather. we have a flow coming across the north sea that will bring some low patches of fog to scotland and england, keeping the temperature and england, keeping the temperature a little bit suppressed. but it will feel pleasantly warm in the sunshine. thunder showers will break out more widely across france, belgium, and the netherlands two. that your weather. hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source,
9:29 pm
and these are the main stories here in the bbc newsroom. donald trump's met with the president of south korea. he says he hopes his planned summit next month with the north will go ahead, but then again, maybe not. whether or not it happens, if it does that will be great, it will be a great thing for north korea. and if it doesn't, that is ok, too. whatever it is, it is. mark zuckerberg's in brussels being questioned by meps, and that smile on his face didn't last long. i askd you six yes or no questions. i got not a single answer. an australian archbishop has been found guilty of covering up historical child sexual abuse. we will try to the story in a moment on outside source. every day outside source features bbc journalists working in over 30 languages.
9:30 pm
your questions are always welcome. #bbcos is the hashtag. let's begin this half of that amount outside source by showing you... these are pictures from australia earlier. there's the archbishop of adelaide, philip wilson leaving court in newcastle. he'd just become the most senior member of the catholic church to be convicted of covering up child sexual abuse. he was found to have protected a paedophile priest during the 19705, even though he was alerted by four victims. the abuse happened in hunter valley region which is north of sydney. they both served as priests in the maitland—newcastle diocese. peter creigh is one of those who was abused. you can see him here outside court. with his family. he testified he told
9:31 pm
archbishop wilson what a priest called father fletcher had done to him when he was 15. this was mr creigh‘s reaction to the verdict. a pure sense of relief. it is a very significant day for all victims and theirfamilies. it significant day for all victims and their families. it is significant day for all victims and theirfamilies. it is a decision that will hopefully unravel the hypocrisy, the deceit. and the abuse of power and trust. that the church has displayed. another person was who was abused by father fletcher is peter gogarty. and here he is reacting. and here he is reactinglj and here he is reacting. i think the repercussions of this around the world a re repercussions of this around the world are enormous. i know there is one of the case happening in france, there is one proposed for belgium. i think this will now open the doors for otherjurisdictions to start looking at trying to prosecute
9:32 pm
people who knew, who deliberately looked after their institution. we will speak to harvey. tell us about the man at the centre of this case and how important he was. he ise representative of the church and stuff australia, he has a high—profile profile in adelaide. i've interviewed him at during my time asa i've interviewed him at during my time as a reporter in the city. mainly on events like christmas and easter where he has delivered the church's message. he is also occasionally spoken about social issues such as the decline of manufacturing in the state at the time. he had a good reputation. it did come as a rule sought when this charge was uncovered a couple years ago, and again a shot today. and throughout he has constantly maintained his innocence which in the and the court didn't agree with. absolutely. his defence the whole along has said that he has had no knowledge and has not been told by the abuse victims of fatherjames
9:33 pm
fletcher of what happened to them. he has maintained this the hallway along, but the magistrate today pretty much dismissed that claim and said... we heard from peter creigh before and he gave evidence of saying that in 1976 he told archbishop wilson then about what had happened to him and some of the other abuse victims we heard from today said had that information been passed on to police that perhaps the similar abuses they suffered would not have occurred. can the archbishop is set to go to prison? he faces a maximum of two years gil from this conviction. it is yet to be seen. the prosecution and survivors are calling for a jail term to send a message to the wider community and of course to the vatican. how does this fit into broader efforts in australia to take on past crimes committed by members of the catholic church was not the country has really been tackling with this in the last five years. in 2000 then prime minister as the
9:34 pm
world commission into historical aces of sexual abuse within australian institutions. and last year we got that final report. there we re year we got that final report. there were some 42,000 cost taken, around 25,000 were letters and e—mails. 8000 private sessions were conducted, 57 public hearings and eventually 2500 cases were referred to authorities. the now prime minister has described that report asa minister has described that report as a national tragedy. and as we heard in one of those clips, there is clearly a hope among some of the victims this will have ramifications beyond australia. absolutely. they really hoping this opens the door effectively. too many cases, not just in australia but around the world, where there have been perhaps cases of child sexual abuse being covered up. thank you very much indeed. rb biggs from the team. let's come back to the screen now and cover a story we have turned to almost every addition in the last month. this volcano. the kilauea
9:35 pm
volcano in hawaii which continues to barack. there is now another complication. lava has entered a geothermal power plant which is an important energy source for the big island. here are the pictures we have of this happening. there is the plant, effo rts this happening. there is the plant, efforts are under way to shut it down to prevent poisonous gases being released. we also know that cold water is being pumped into the welsh and they are being capped off with iron books. and remember, you will notice if you're watching yesterday, this is all of the back of what we talked about on the programme, toxic clouds being produced as the lava pours in to the sea. this toxic bout is called laze and it is potentially deadly if inhaled and it can also irritate the eyes and lungs as well. there are many different dimensions to these story. throughout this eruption, more and more astonishing images have been coming in of how this was laying out. if you didn't see these pictures from around 24 hours ago, they are worth showing you again.
9:36 pm
bob is being spewed dozens of metres into the air. chris buckler is on big island. the reality is the national guard are having to take us in. we are having real difficulty getting anywhere close to the lava itself because people are concerned about that safety. one of the big fears is just that these fissures, these cracks in the ground, when you see that lava fountaining upfrom... the reality is that although some go dormant for a while there are cases when they reactivate and in fact that has happened just today. that is known as fissures six, as there are more than two dozen of those fissures now, it has now reactivated. what is again coming from it. one of the big concessionaire is that it has reactivated and lava is now flowing a geothermal plant that is here on the big island. it provides around a quarter
9:37 pm
of the power to the big island. and that is clearly a worry. all of the flammable chemicals have been moved away and from that plant. that was done in the early days of the eruption. but they've also been shutting down the wells, the deep wells that use steam and hot waterfrom deep below the surface to create electricity. and they've had to shut off those wells to try to make sure that it passes, more gases of course are not released into the air. because they will add to the toxic fumes. there's toxic clouds of steam and smoke that you can see when you look at the pictures just from high on this island. if you are a regular viewer you know i often say if you have got questions on stores we are covering, tinnitus. a regular viewer says "i've got a question about the regular lava flows in hawaii. what makes it increased resulting in the lava coming to the surface?" i have to confess, i'm going to give you the answer within help of an article on the bbc saying what stops eruptions of live, but it also gets into what darts them. the pressure doesn't increase at the earths core, rather it is like a block type in a
9:38 pm
plumbing system further up. this article tells us that magma is a free—flowing, but rather travels by squeezing past solid rock. if the pressure is great enough miles underground, new underground pathways open up an and magma will come up through fissures in the ground. thank you for the question. i hope that answers it. obviously worked saying that i answer that with the help of the bbc news website. on most of the stories we are telling you about, there are lots of great that brown articles to inform you not just lots of great that brown articles to inform you notjust about lots of great that brown articles to inform you not just about what lots of great that brown articles to inform you notjust about what has happened today, but also the context and extra explanation you need to fully understand what's happening in the news. so to places you can find that. just go to bbc.com/news. or download the app on your smartphone. just search for bbc news. manchester is commemorating the 22 people who were killed by a bomb at an ariana grande concert a year ago. events have been happening all day.
9:39 pm
one of them was a trail of what have been called trees of hope has been created so people can leave their own remembrances. theresa may was one of many who pinned a personal message. and, later tonight at 10:31pm, bells will ring out across the city to mark the moment when the attack took place. ariana grande tweeted this image, the worker bee that's a symbol of manchester, and wrote: "thinking of you all. sending you all of the light and warmth i have to offer on this challenging day". we also spotted this image. manchester evening news shared what it called this ‘extraordinary‘ from during a minutes silence. the cranes all turned to point towards the arena where the attack took place.
9:40 pm
that happened during a service of commemoration earlier in manchester cathedral. alan little reports. # somewhere over the rainbow. they held 22 candles, one for each of the dead. they were made from wax that accumulated from candles left at saint ann's square and the days after the attack. then the congregation looked into the faces of those who died. and were reminded again of their youth and vigour, and the joy again of their youth and vigour, and thejoy for again of their youth and vigour, and the joy for living that is evident in every picture. the service was broadcast to crowds outside. at 2:30pm they stood for a national minute silence. inside prince william read from the new testament. loveis william read from the new testament. love is patient, love is kind. love
9:41 pm
is not envious or boastful. or arrogant or rude. throughout, the tv cameras stayed off the faces of the bereaved, respecting their right to privacy in their grief. the bishop of manchester spoke for them. must we sometimes overwhelm people with ca re we sometimes overwhelm people with care and support in the immediate aftermath of injury or loss, we then withdraw, our interest taken off in other directions. god has no timetable for our recovery from tragedy. he knows what the hurt we experience can amass a lifetime. tragedy. he knows what the hurt we experience can amass a lifetimem was a powerful reminder that so the tragedy may have brought the city together in a spirit of defiance, that does not diminish the private anguish of the bereaved. alan mitchell, bbc news, manchester. with every addition of outside source we take an hour to bring you the most important global stories.
9:42 pm
now i want to turn to india because ten people have there. have been killed by a rare virus called nipah. the outbreak is in kerala in the south. one of the victims was this young nurse who was part of the team who treated the first person to contract the disease. and these pictures show the flying fox bats which carry nipah. the world health organisation rates it as one of the top ten deadly diseases to have jumped species. rebecca kesby is the bbc‘s global health reporter. she has got more of this for us. well, the key thing as with these communicable diseases is isolating people they already think at been affected. we know they've got around 100 people in quarantine at the moment. and the world health organisation praised the indian authorities by acting so quickly. they've got health teams in there and they are trying to trace where this disease may have come from. they know that it started in on particular family.
9:43 pm
you showed the bats there and it showed they were living in a well and also they found fruit in the family home which they thought may have been nibbled on by the bats. obviously the people living there were also eating that fruit. i think that is probably fairly common, but people are being advised not to do that while this outbreak lasts. most of us are learning about this virus for the first time. how dangerous is it? well, i mean, it is on the list of ten potentially very dangerous diseases that the world health organisation have got details on right up there with ebola and the zika virus. it is fairly rare and it is a fairly new disease. it was only discovered in the late 905. i think the first outbreak wa5 in the late 905. i think the first outbreak was in malaysia, where about 300 people got it and around 100 died. so they get you a scale of how things could go.|j 100 died. so they get you a scale of how things could go. i was showing the picture of the nurse who has lost her life. she has received an awful lot of attention, have she?
9:44 pm
this is one of the tragedies of diseases like this. there she was, it is thought she was the one that was it is thought she was the one that wa5 nursing that family, tho5e it is thought she was the one that wa5 nursing that family, those three people who originally died. and it i5 people who originally died. and it is thought that she diagnosed herself. she felt ill on sunday, had terrible headache and fever. and the5e terrible headache and fever. and these are the symptoms of the disease. so in the initial stages you may not know that you've got it, cla55ic flu type symptoms. but then there is respiratory problems that many people get and then also there's terrible headache on and thatis there's terrible headache on and that is the swelling of the brain. very dangerous. and the deterioration from there can happen quite quickly. but this nurse took herself to the local hospital and asked to be put in isolation because 5he asked to be put in isolation because she knew that she probably had the disease. and then wrote letters to herfamily, from disease. and then wrote letters to her family, from there, disease. and then wrote letters to herfamily, from there, as she knew 5he herfamily, from there, as she knew she was probably dying. heartbreaking really, terrible story. and when we have viruses like
9:45 pm
this, and ebola i5 story. and when we have viruses like this, and ebola is the obvious example to my there is a huge amount of focus on how countries and international organisations like the who will react. you think is this have been learned from previous outbreaks? i think there is no doubt in that as we can see from the current ebola cri5i5 in that as we can see from the current ebola crisis that is going on in the drc. the democratic republic of congo at the moment as well. i think the health authorities all over the world have learned from that, and it is about speed, it is about identifying people that may have been effective in reaching them quickly. and the indian authorities today has been very visible on social media, urging people not to panic. but to read the advice, avoid animals like fruit bats, pig5 or another potential danger, any 5ick pigs in that region should be avoided. and just try not to panic, but just be avoided. and just try not to panic, butjust be vigilant. thanks to rebecca for that. all week gone outside so as we are building up to friday in ireland. voters will decide the future
9:46 pm
of the country's abortion laws in a referendum. yesterday we talked to deirdre finnerty about the difference between people's views on the matter in the city and the countryside — here are some of their voices. the bbc has been speaking to some people in both sections of the community. cheering. this is what they want us to vote to kill. the eighth amendment is a law and our constitution which essentially equates the life of the mother to that of the unborn. we are trying to allow women to have access to safe abortion here on the island of ireland. it makes me so angry that everyday women in crisis situations aren't given the advocate an appropriate health care. it makes me angry that we have been made to feel that we are asking for something extra when really we are just asking to own something that is already ours. majority i say would
9:47 pm
vote no. in certain circumstances, yes, the mother would have to look after it. just to go out and get pregnant and say "yeah, i will do that." i don't agree with that. no way. he has no say in that. you're killing a human life. there is a higher support for abortion in dublin, but outside of dublin there isn't. as people inform themselves and realise that what the government are offering is abortion on demand, are offering is abortion on demand, a very similargrounds are offering is abortion on demand, a very similar grounds to what is available in britain, they don't wa nt available in britain, they don't want that. abortion is not the compassionate response to a difficulty in a pregnancy. what women need during pregnancy at any stage of support. not helped to end the life of theirjob. i don't believe in 2018 antibody should have to do that. this procedure that has happened in my own home country. and for me not to have to travel, and i
9:48 pm
was really lucky because i wasn't sick, everything went smoothly. that is not the case for a lot of people. full coverage through the week and of course on referendum day and into the weekend as well. here is a tweet from nasa which is worth paying very close attention to. telling us three, two, one, liftoff. liftoff nastasic falcon nine. the reason i am interested in this is because it is all to do with what is definitely the most extraordinary story today. about an american— german space mission with the goal of weighing the water on earth. some stories i require help with right from the beginning. this is one. it is astonishing. over the twojonathan amos. this is one of the coolest space missions ever. i will say that. it is to satellites and they perform a perfectly calibrated pursuit around the earth. and so what they do is they measured the distance between each other, so they fly 220, matters
9:49 pm
apartand each other, so they fly 220, matters apart and they use an instrument to measure that distance. changes in that distance. and they're looking for very, very small changes. where did those changes come from? they come from the gravity field on earth. the earth is not a perfect sphere and there are lumps and bumps. one of the big lumps and bumps. one of the big lumps and bumps is the movement of water. it rains and the land swells. and then the water runs out into the ocean. we have big polls, ice at the polls, sometimes it melts and he goes into the oceans and sometimes it snows and the girl one day mass and these quys and the girl one day mass and these guys can measure the distances and the differences. so by measuring the distances between the two satellites they can turn that into data and terms of the weight of water on earth? so the need spacecraft goes over a gravity anomaly, as they call it. and it accelerates a little bit ora it. and it accelerates a little bit or a diesel rates. anti—satellite behind says you've changed. and i can measure the distance very, very
9:50 pm
small. think of the distance between two major cities. i don't know, los angeles and san diego. that is about 200 km. these guys can measure a change in separation that is less than the thickness of a human head. —— human hair. that is how precise they are. that corresponds to the kinds of changes that they see below them. for a simple and whole formula they had a big draw a few years ago, all the water went and they started to extra ct all the water went and they started to extract water from the deep aquifers anti—satellite good sense that land losing mass —— these satellites good sense that land losing mass. undoubtedly very impressive. why is it also very useful? we want to understand how the climate is changing. we can measure the shade of grey and antarctica, we do that with satellites that measure the height of the ice above the ground. another way you can do it is just to measure
9:51 pm
antarctica. only do it with these quys antarctica. only do it with these guys here we see antarctica is losing about 120 billion tonnes of ice a year. greenland is losing 280 billion tonnes of ice a year. this is melting and going into the ocean, so of course that is pushing up sea level. and so that affects coastal communities around the world. and so from that point of view it is very important because we need to plan for the future. so will we get real—time data? for the future. so will we get real-time data? they do it on a sort of monthly basis. they have to average the data over that period. but yes, they see the big drops. they see the big precipitation. a few years ago, 2011, everyone was questioning their head because the sea levels started to go down. a wide? the reason was because it was raining really, really hard in australia and in south america. so all of the water was evaporating from the oceans and being done on land. and then we saw the water on land. and then we saw the water on land gradually go back into the
9:52 pm
ocea ns land gradually go back into the oceans and sea level combat up. so this is one of the top priority missions now for nasa going forward. they absolutely have to keep his capability. it is that important. they absolutely have to keep his capability. it is that importantm it that astonishing? thanks to jonathan for taking us through it. if you been watching over the last couple of hours you will know on bbc world news and on the bbc news channel we have been bringing you coverage from manchester as commemorations continue for the 22 people who lost their lives in a bomb attack at an ariana grande concert exactly one year ago. a mass sing—along has been happening this evening in albert square, right at the centre of manchester. we will finish the programme by hearing some of it. singing.
9:53 pm
# it's looking like a beautiful day. singing. hello again. tuesday saw fewer
9:54 pm
thunderstorms across the uk but the threat has not gone away and even in the outlook. for many of us though, high pressure is still ruling the roost. particularly across northern areas of the uk. keeping these weather fronts at bay. it is in the south and from the near confident that we could import a few storms. we may get the odd one in the southeast corner, perhaps towards the end of the day. but the main story is the dull start across eastern england. low cloud of burning that to the coast and sunshine developing more widely. and with more sunshine on wednesday in scotla nd with more sunshine on wednesday in scotland and northern ireland it will be a warmer day. apertures rightly into the low 205. we could get 25 degrees in west wales. still
9:55 pm
quite a chilly breeze coming in off the north sea, across east anglia and the southeast of england. and thumbing into that chilly breeze we will have this weather system here. it brings more cloud across southern areas of england and wales and the threat of perhaps showers or even longer spells of rain, maybe a thunderstorm risk as well. but for much of the midlands, certainly northwards it should be dry. there won't be an much low cloud plaguing the coast, but temperatures in the sunshine could be up to around low 205. wet weather on that weather system there should work its way northwards into the midlands overnight. up into northern england on friday. then we are looking again towards iberia to import some more storms as we head into the bank holiday weekend. still some heavy burst of rain across north wales, north midlands and northern england for a time on friday. a legacy of cloud behind that. eventually the cloud behind that. eventually the cloud attending to break up in those temperatures are lifting again. much of scotla nd temperatures are lifting again. much of scotland and northern ireland is dry and sunny. temperatures in the
9:56 pm
central belt, 21 or 22 degrees. saturday sees the threat of some storms moving in from northern parts of france, across england and wales. don't trust the detail on that because it is very difficult to get the exact position of the song is correct. because everything is so slow moving and developmental. wilson the southwest perhaps seeing the worst of the rain and of those under storms as well. closing the area of low pressure here, still higher pressure across the north of the uk. we have still got an easterly wind, so does all going to bea easterly wind, so does all going to be a bit cooler wombles north sea coasts. this is sunday, and many places starting dry and sunny. there isa places starting dry and sunny. there is a risk that some of those storms that have pushed very close to northern ireland. then we can see a few more arising again, more towards the southwest of the uk. notice most places are dry. those temperatures are rising during the course of the weekend as well. the early may bank holiday to my temperatures of 29 degrees, blue skies across many parts of the country. there will be some sometime. for the late bank
9:57 pm
holiday weekend there may be some storms as we have seen, but those temperatures still could get as high of 28 degrees. where we have the storms it will be rather more humid. they may well get lined up across some western parts of the uk from monday and into tuesday. but all the while we're looking at this area of high pressure to build in from mayo and that will probably cut across the north and west of the uk, still closer to lower pressure in the south east, threat of storms coming in from the continent. still warm air heading ourway in from the continent. still warm air heading our way as we move into next week. i will be the peak of the heat will be on sunday or monday over the bank holiday weekend. but there will still be some sunshine into next week, still the risk of some thunderstorms. more especially across more southern parts of england and perhaps into wales as well. but many places still are going to be dry. that is it from me. goodbye. tonight at ten, manchester unites in silence to remember those who lost their lives in the bomb attack a year ago. the silence was observed
9:58 pm
during a service of commemoration at manchester cathedral, with tributes and applause in memory of those who died. applause. each of the 22 victims was named, they'd all been at the manchester arena a year ago tonight. as candles were lit in the cathedral, the bishop of manchester underlined the extensive impact of the events of may last year. all who were affected have a lasting place in our hearts. you have become part of the story of our city, and we will be part of yours.
