from singapore, the headlines. president trump admits there's a substantial chance that his planned summit with north korea's kimjong—un will not go ahead. facebook boss mark zuckerberg tells european politicians that he will make it a top priority to prevent interference in democratic elections. but some are not impressed. i asked to use six yes or no questions and got not a single a nswer questions and got not a single answer “— questions and got not a single answer ——i questions and got not a single answer —— i ask you. also in the programme. we visit one of the 32 million indian households that still don't have mains electricity, despite government claims to have connected every village. the people of manchester unite in silence to remember those who lost their lives in the bomb attack one year ago. live from our studios in singapore

and london. this is bbc world news. it's 7am in singapore. midnight in london. and 7pm in washington, where president trump himself was the latest to cast doubt on prospects for a summit between himself and north korea's kim jong—un. the meeting is meant to take place in singapore on june 12, but mr trump told reporters there is a "very substantial chance" it won't happen. he made the remarks alongside his south korean counterpart moon jae—in, who was visiting the white house to try to get plans for the meeting back on track. barbara plett—usher reports. this meeting was meant to plan the

agenda for the summit, but the focus was more on how to save it. the white house got cold feet after the dramatic change in tone from north korea and donald trump said the unprecedented event could be delayed. i don't want to waste a lot of time, and i don't think he wants to, so there is a substantial change, but it doesn't mean it won't work out over a period of time. but it might not work out forjune i2, but there's a good chance we will have the meeting. it had seemed like a virtual lock, the date, june 12, the occasion —— location, singapore, the occasion —— location, singapore, the agenda? that is the tricky part. america wants north korea to dismantle its nuclear weapons and kim jong—un had talked about denuclearisation while laying on the chance until last week when they lost patience with us demands and threatened to cancel the summit. mr trump suspects that the chinese president had a hand in the about—face. that was after a recent visit to beijing. the chinese

president is a world—class poker player and maybe doing the same thing i might do, but there was a somewhat different attitude after that meeting so i can't say that i'm happy about it. moon jae-in was very happy about it. moon jae-in was very happy about it. moon jae-in was very happy about the possibility of peace and hope the summit with kim jong—un would be a tampa late for mr trump's. he wants this to work for the sake of south korea but now people wonder if he has overstated the willingness of north korea to deal. kim jong—un has the willingness of north korea to deal. kimjong—un has played along with goodwill gestures like replacing north korean american hostages and the build—up to the summit has been shaped by an unusual degree of diplomatic showmanship by both leaders and the oval office seemed to see the latest round. he will be saved, he will be happy and his country will be rich. mr trump stressed it would be worth it for kim jong—un to take the risk, throwing the ball back to his court. the secretary of state but a

positive spin on this sharp reality check. it is clear we are working to make sure there is an understanding about the contents of what will be discussed but i am optimistic. all of this coincides with the roll—out a commemorative coin minted by the white house calling kimjong—un a commemorative coin minted by the white house calling kim jong—un the supreme white house calling kim jong—un the supreme leader, which raised eyebrows. a premature sign of confidence, perhaps with the summit‘s chances now a toss—up. let's take a look at some of the day's other news. the founder of facebook, mark zuckerberg, has apologised to members of the european parliament for its role in the spread of fake news, and interference in elections. but many meps were angry that he didn't answer their questions. the bbc‘s north america technology reporter dave lee has more. suited, composed and well briefed in front of politicians, relishing the chance to throw questions at one of the world's most powerful men. he

may not enjoy it, but mark tapper wrote —— zuckerberg is getting used to it. the format of the european parliament meeting meant members had to ask questions in succession with the answers coming up once at the end. there was about an hour of questioning, leaving mr zuckerberg was just 25 minutes to answer. he used that time to reiterate his view that some kind of regulation was on its way. some of the questions asked how i view regulation. i don't think the question here is whether there should be regulation or not, i think it is what is the right regulation. the internet is becoming increasingly important in people's lives. some sort of regulation is important and inevitable and the important and inevitable and the important thing is to get it right. he also said his company would be fully compliant with upcoming european data privacy laws known as

gdp are. he said the protections put in place would be rolled out across the world. but this was all information the company had shared before the session alternately left the meps feeling short—changed. before the session alternately left the meps feeling short-changed. do you want users to escape targeted advertising on? i asked to six questions and not one single answer. you asked for this format for a reason. 0k, you asked for this format for a reason. ok, i will make you asked for this format for a reason. 0k, iwill make sure you asked for this format for a reason. ok, i will make sure we follow u p reason. ok, i will make sure we follow up and get you your answers. immediately afterwards, facebook said it did not choose the format of the meeting. the european parliament offered it, the company said, and mr zuckerberg simply accepted. he has now faced i2 zuckerberg simply accepted. he has now faced 12 hours of questioning from three committees on both sides of the atlantic but, at the end of all that, the public has learned very little from these hearings. also making news today, a woman in britain has been convicted of forced marriage, after making her daughter marry an older man in pakistan.

it's the first such conviction in england. the woman tricked her daughter into visiting pakistan. but there she was forced to marry a male relative. more than 1,000 cases of suspected forced marriage are referred to the uk authorities each year. a rare virus spread by fruit bats, which can cause flu—like symptoms and brain damage, has killed 10 people in southern india. at least nine more are being treated in hospital. there is no vaccine for the nipah virus. the government has sent a team from the national centre for disease control to investigate. amnesty international has condemned the militant rohingya organisation known as arsa for killing dozens of hindus during attacks last august. arsa has denied this, but amnesty says it confirmed the killings through interviews in the refugee camps. amnesty reiterated the need for the burmese government to also be held accountable for its violent

crackdown against the rohingya people. australian investigators are rejecting claims the missing malaysian airlines flight mh370 was deliberately brought down by the pilot. a former canadian air crash investigator, larry vance, had claimed the jet was the subject of ‘controlled ditching' in a new book on the incident. this was just one of those moments earlier today. people in manchester have come together for a concert to remember the 22 people killed in a bombing at the city's arena a year ago. hundreds were injured when a suicide bomber detonated his device during an ariana grande pop concert. it was the worst terrorist attack in britain for more than a decade. returning now to our top story, the us president saying that a planned summit with north korea could be delayed if certain

conditions aren't met. earlier i spoke tojessica lee, the interim executive director for the council of korean americans in washington. i started by asking her about whether denuclearisation pushed by donald trump, is an unrealistic expectation. i think the question of denuclearisation is something that needs to be fully explored between the us and north korea. i think people in washington take the guaranteed that this term, a technical term which takes years to implement, is something that north koreans have do magically agreed to do and pursue but there are certain security guarantees the north korean regime is looking for before it acquiesces to this condition, and i think it makes good sense for both countries to talk about what the conditions are rather than talk past each other which seems to be what is

taking place. it seems the turn denuclearisation was used loosely and vaguely over the last few weeks. did south korea overstayed to donald trump the willingness for the denuclearisation deal from the north? i don't think so. i think the term by the south korean president, moonjae—in, when term by the south korean president, moon jae—in, when he term by the south korean president, moonjae—in, when he talks about denuclearisation of the entire korean peninsula, it implies there will be changes to the security conditions within the peninsular currently. and i think that will ta ke currently. and i think that will take careful strategic discussions about what that means for the presence of us troops and for the peace of the korean peninsula. these are things that need to be unpacked ina are things that need to be unpacked in a systematic way. by putting denuclearisation on the table, people don't know what it means and how long it will take. each on the sides are making assumptions. do you

think that president moonjae—in can now refocus president trump and the summit will eventually take place, if not on june 12, summit will eventually take place, if not onjune 12, after that? summit will eventually take place, if not on june 12, after that? yes. i'm cautiously optimistic that the summit will take place, if not on june 12 then sometime there after. what this current situation shows is that there is a lot of homework and a lot of things to way before the meeting with kim jong—un. a lot of things to way before the meeting with kimjong—un. the us has to be comfortable by offering negotiation and there are things we can anticipate north korea saying. there are no surprises. that is a tall order given how difficult the us and north korean relationship has beenin us and north korean relationship has been in the last 30 years with things flaring up on a regular basis. we will have to wait and see, but i'm optimistic and i know many

korean americans who support the president trump mission to bring peace between the two countries are also optimistic. the ash keeps falling and the lava is still flowing from the kilauea volcano in hawaii. it's 19 days since the eruption began and geologists say it's one of the biggest volcanic explosions in a century. overnight on the island, workers rushed to shut down a power plant as lava slipped into the facility. chris buckler reports. the flow of the lava keeps moving faster and the fountains keep getting higher. kilauea shows no signs of settling as the volcano continues to rip through this land. you can see how deep in the ground the cracks go close to where the fissures have opened up, and take a look here. all of this road is

com pletely look here. all of this road is completely split apart as a result of the power of the lava. power lines themselves have actually come down, and behind me, there isjust all of this toxic smoke going into the air. at the moment the wind direction is going to such a way that we will not be affected, but we have had to use garson masks. through the smoke and steam you can see why so many people have abandoned their homes, if they are still standing. unfortunately -- fortu nately still standing. unfortunately -- fortunately my property is ok but i have friends who lost everything. to see their pain is devastating. donations of food and supplies arrive on a daily basis from all of hawaii's surrounding islands. they also know other families hawaii's surrounding islands. they also know otherfamilies may hawaii's surrounding islands. they also know other families may end hawaii's surrounding islands. they also know otherfamilies may end up needing help. we have our boys out there helping to relocate people and we have guys standing outside ready with their trucks and their trailers

ready to go in and out and help everyone in the community as a whole. there is a deep uncertainty here. kilauea is anything but predictable. each night when the skies glow red, there is an obvious fear of what will be seen when the colour of the lava dies down and the light of a new day reveals the damage done. this is the whole reason people come here. don't run. islanders know that a volcano which normally attracts visitors is now threatening tourists here. the message getting out worldwide is that the whole island is inundated with lava, and it's not. in reality, it isjust the rift with lava, and it's not. in reality, it is just the rift zone, with lava, and it's not. in reality, it isjust the rift zone, a small sliver on the corner of the east side of the big island. but in this neighbourhood they are living in the shadow of the lava and having to ta ke shadow of the lava and having to take risks on the cracked ground which is fonau a perilous place to

call home. you're watching newsday on the bbc. still to come on the programme. three days after the wedding, meghan, now duchess of sussex, mixes with her royal in—laws at a buckingham palace garden party. this morning and indian airforce planes carrying mr gandhi's poly landed in delhi. the president of india walked to the plane to solemnly witnessed mr gandhi's return from the political battlefield. ireland has voted overwhelmingly in favour of gay marriage and in doing so has become the first country in the world to approve it. it was a remarkable climax to the most extraordinary funeral ever given to climax to the most extraordinary funeral evergiven toa climax to the most extraordinary

funeral ever given to a pop singer. it's been a peacefulfuneral demonstration, but police rta gassing the crowd and we don't know why. the prelaunch ritual is well established. in the last hour, east timor has become the world's newest nation. it is a poor country and the challenges ahead are daunting, but for now, at least, it is time to celebrate. this is newsday on the bbc. our top stories. donald trump meets south korea's president, but throws real doubt on next month's planned summit with north korea's leader. european politicians are less than impressed with facebook chief mark zuckerberg's answers, although he promises to prevent interference in democratic elections. let's take a look

at some front pages from around the world. the new york times reports on how infighting within president trump's trade team has marred efforts for a multi—billion dollar trade deal with china. the paper suggests the clashes damaged plans for a further deal but in the end both sides decided to hold off from imposing tariffs. in contrast, china daily quotes the wall streetjournal saying that washington and beijing have agreed on the outline of a deal to lift a ban on chinese telecom company zte. it's another of the key trade issues that have caused tensions between the us and china. president trump had promised to review the policy barring us companies from trading with zte. and in thejapan times, fears that tough new european

privacy laws being introduced on friday could lead to a surge in cyber crime, spam and fraud. the controversy is over the so—called internet address directory, which will largely become private under the regulations. now, what stories are sparking discussions online? when we applied for a job we want to betray ourselves in the best possible light, but here is a cautionary tale about not taking it too far. the law professor nominated to be italy's next prime minister is facing allegations he embellished his cv. giuseppe conte says on his resume that he "perfected his legal studies" at new york university. but a spokeswoman for the institution claims there was no record of him having studied there. the anti—establishment five star movement and the anti—immigrant league, are awaiting approval from italy's president to form a coalition government. in india, 32 million

households don't have access to electricity, even though the prime minister claimed last month that every village has now been connected to the grid. our correspondent dan johnson reports from gujarat in the west of india. across these dusty, sunbaked plains, this is one of india's cut—off communities. the people have only the power they generate themselves. this is the prime minister's social media post where he described an historic day for india, saying every village across the country now had access to electricity, but look at this. it looks like a village, feels like a village, yet these people are not connected to the grid and that's because it depends on your definition of a village, and

according to the official statistics, this doesn't qualify. so when the sun goes down, life here is thrown into a long, dark shadow. these families cook, eat, live by firelight. it's just these families cook, eat, live by firelight. it'sjust so hot, we don't have fans, so if my children get sick i have do fan them myself. we are also humans, we also want to live. and they fear these children are being denied the chance of a brighterfuture. the kids cannot study or progress in life. they are growing up like animals that live in the darkness of the forest. the journey to sell their milk is long and tough. without power, making money is even harder. if we had electricity, we

could store some milk in the fridge, and that would mean we only have to drive to the city once a day instead of twice. here they have power lines and we have driven for maybe ten minutes to the next village, and here they are already on the electricity grid. but even in villages classed as connected, power may only reach public buildings in 10% of homes. supplies can be unreliable. after a 90 minute drive, this is where the milk is sold. when electricity is on offer, they cannot afford to miss the chance. across india, the electricity lines are reaching further, and the government says it will bring power to all the people by the end of this year but thereon millions waiting to be connected in places like this and it isa connected in places like this and it is a huge challenge —— there are millions. it's only three days since their wedding but today the duke and duchess of sussex — or prince harry and meghan as they're better known —

had their first public engagement as a married couple. they were at a buckingham palace garden party hosted by the prince of wales. nicholas witchell was there. (tx sherlocks) she's formally part of the family now. three days into married life, and meghan was at buckingham palace for a very early 70th birthday celebration for her father—in—law and his charity work, led by harry, but nearly ruined by a passing bumblebee. sorry... that bee really got me! laughter. and then it was time to practice the art of being royal. the small talk that will be such a feature of meghan's working life. that's true... it's all about putting people at their ease, engaging, preferably with sincerity, listening and moving on. not unfamiliar territory for an actress.

unsurprisingly, the reviews were good. very personable, very warm, very nice. down to earth. they were really friendly as a couple. it's really lovely. we said "congratulations" and they said "thank you", and they look really happy. talking of looking happy reminds us of the formal wedding photographs featuring harry, meghan and the bridesmaids and page boys. the photographer has revealed the secret of getting the children to cooperate. the kids came onto the set, i immediately shouted "who likes smarties? " and then everyone, hands up, smiles. even some of the adults, i think, put their hands up. so that was our magic word of the day. back at buckingham palace harry and meghan were leaving, so some family farewells. and then, watch the courtier on the right. yes, he bowed. that's something else the former ms meghan markle will need to get used to. nicholas witchell, bbc news at buckingham palace. now as we mentioned in the news earlier there has been

a day of commemoration to mark a year since the attack at an ariana grande concert in manchester. the commerations included a concert this evening, we'll leave this edition of newsday with some of the highlights from that event. thanks for watching. music. # oh, anyway, it's looking like a beautiful day. # one more time.

# i promise after that, i'll let you go. # and so sally can wait, she knows it's too late as we're walking on by. # her soul slides away, but don't look back in anger i heard you say. # don't look back in anger. # i heard you say. # at least not today. the weather is looking fine across

most of the uk on wednesday and it will feel warm as well, clear blue skies on the way but not necessarily from the word go. in fact, in the morning in some of the eastern and northern counties it will be cloudy but here is the big picture across our part of the world. this is the jet stream and the weather systems diverted to the north between the uk and iceland and in the direction of scandinavia, so the jet stream, we are well away and that means the weather will remain settled and it will be warming up across europe over the next few days and i will talk about the wind heading towards us talk about the wind heading towards us into the weekend in a moment, but in the short term this is what it looks like, ten in the south, seven in the north, those are the morning temperatures and here is the morning cloud which will burn back to the coastline through the morning but some of these coastal districts could stay cool and cloudy. look at

the yellows compared to the oranges. quite a temperature contrast to a wednesday afternoon, maybe a 10 degrees difference. 23 in london but i3 degrees difference. 23 in london but 13 in newcastle. but for most of us, a fine 13 in newcastle. but for most of us, afine and 13 in newcastle. but for most of us, a fine and beautiful day. then a slight change, quite a big change, on thursday. it might be a small weather front but it will upset the weather front but it will upset the weather across southern areas from the word go. not everybody will get rain but it could be heavy for a time and there could be thunder and this could stick around in some areas through much of thursday, so again, a big contrast on the weight on thursday from the cloudy, rainy south to the sunny weather across yorkshire, northern ireland and scotla nd yorkshire, northern ireland and scotland and then the weather front through thursday into friday will move further north, so many of us towards the end of the week will catch a little bit of rain. here is the rain as we go through thursday

morning, into the afternoon, moving across the midlands, wales, yorkshire and some rain for leeds and sheffield, but in the south on friday it will improve and beyond that it looks as though we will see a plume of warmth coming from the south, a little heat wave and it will hot up across france and reach the uk so the temperatures will be rising for the weekend, so certainly saturday and sunday we could be talking of high ease up to 28 in some areas. but it really will warm up some areas. but it really will warm up significantly.

i'm ben bland with bbc world news. our top story... president trump has said there's doubts his planned summit with the leader of north korea will go ahead next month. mr trump said the summit would be delayed if kimjong un refused to meet certain conditions. it came as he sat down for talks with the south korean president, moonjae—in. facebook boss, mark zuckerberg, comes under fire for being evasive as european politicians question him. mr zuckerberg said he'd make it his top priority to prevent interference in democratic elections. and this video is trending on bbc.com... as a choir of more than 3,000 takes part in a mass singalong to remember those who died in the bomb attack on a concert at manchester arena a year ago. that's all from me now. stay with bbc world news. now on bbc news, it's time for hardtalk.
