welcome to bbc news. broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. my name is lewis vaughanjones. our top stories: ‘a substantial chance of delay‘. president trump casts doubt over the north korean summit. a new lava flow from the kilauea volcano threatens a power plant on the big island of hawaii. an apology for europe's politicians, but facebook‘s mark zuckerberg doesn't convince everyone in brussels. some sort of regulation is important and inevitable and the important thing is to get this right. manchester remembers, one year after the bombing that killed 22 people at an ariana grande concert. donald trump has cast further doubt on the possibility of meeting

the north korean leader, kim jong—un, on june 12th. he told reporters there was a substantial chance the planned summit would be delayed. his secretary of state remains optimistic, though, and the planning is going ahead. mr trump spoke ahead of a meeting with the south korean president in washington. our state department correspondent barbara plett usher has the latest. 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 north korea's dramatic change in tone. president trump said the unprecedented event could be delayed. i don't want to waste a lot of time and i'm sure he doesn't. so there is a very substantial chance that it won't work out and that is ok. that doesn't mean it won't work out over a period of time. but it may not work out forjune 12, but there is a good chance that we will have the meeting.

it seemed like a virtual lock, the date, june 12, the location, singapore. the agenda, well that is the tricky part. the us wants north korea to completely dismantle its nuclear weapons. kim jong—un had talked vaguely about denuclearisation while laying on the charm, until last week when north korea lost patience with us demands and threatened to cancel the summit. mr trump suspects that china's president had a hand in this about—face, after a visit to beijing by the leader. president xi is a world—class poker player and i probably maybe would do the same thing that he would do. but i will say this, there was a somewhat different attitude after that meeting. so i can't say that i am happy about it. president moon was very happy about possibility of peace, he hoped his summit would be a template for mr trump's. he wants is to work for south korea's sake, officials now wonder whether he has overstated north korea's

willingness to deal. but kim jong—un has played along with goodwill gestures, like releasing american hostages. the build—up to the summit has been shaped by an unusual degree of diplomatic showmanship by both leaders and the oval office appeared to be the latest round. he will be safe, he will be happy, 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 into his court. the secretary of state put a positive spin on this sharp reality check. it is clear, we are working to make sure there is a common understanding about the contents that will be discussed, but i am optimistic. all this coincides with the rollout of a commemoratie coin minted by the white house, calling kim jong—un the supreme leader, which raised a hue eyebrows, a premature sign of confidence, the summit‘s chances now a tossup. barbara plett usher, bbc news. jenny town is a specialist in korean affairs. she is managing editor of 38 north and research analyst at the

stimson center. it was all going so well. this meeting was definitely going to happen. now donald trump coming out and saying maybe not. what is going on? i think this is somewhat of a made for tv summit process and i think the cliffhanger clues should be more expected than not. i think there probably has been some bumps along the way, but it doesn't necessarily mean that the summit is off. there is still a lot at stake here. no one ever said it would be easy, it is just quite unusual that so easy, it is just quite unusual that so much of this is being played out in public. it is great for people like me and you to talk about it, but for the actual process itself,

quite surprising. some saying that donald trump was a bit naive in so readily agreeing to the summit without some of the details being worked out beforehand. is certainly makes it more difficult it is this is not the type of diplomacy that we are used to. normally you would work out all of the details, have some outcomes in hand and then have the summit so there isn't pressure on the summit to come away with something. now that we are starting with that, entering negotiations put a lot of pressure and really expectations have not been managed well. will have to leave it to there, thank you very much for joining us. —— we will. the ash keeps falling and the lava is still flowing from the kilauea volcano in hawaii. it's been 19 days since the eruption began, 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 affected by the lava.

they closed it to prevent the release of toxic gases. chris buckler reports. the flow of 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. just take a look here. all of this road completely split apart as a result of the power of the lava. and 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 in such a way that we won't be affected,

but we have to have gas masks. through that smoke and steam you can see why so many people here have had to abandon their homes. that's if they are still standing. fortunately my property is ok. i have friends who lost everything. to see their pain is, it is just devastating. donations of food and supplies arrive on a daily basis from all of hawaii's surrounding islands and they know other families may end up here, needing help. we have our boys out there are helping to relocate people and we have guys standing outside ready with their trucks revved up, their trailers, ready to go in and out to help everyone, the whole community as a whole. there is a deep uncertainty here. kilauea is anything but predictable. each night when the skies could read, there is an obvious fear of what will be seen when the colour of the lava dies down and a new day reveals the damage that has been done.

this is the whole reason people come here... islanders know a volcano which normally attracts visitors is now threatening tourism there. the message that is getting out there nationally and worldwide is that the whole island is inundated with lava, and it is not. in reality, it is just the zone which is on a very small sliver on the corner of the east side of the big island. but in this neighbourhood, they are living in the shadow of lava — and having to take risks. on the cracked ground that is for now a perilous place to call home. if you take a look at what is happening, we have had two eruptions at the summit of kilauea in the last 2a hours. now, that is just really steam and gas all emerging from the summit itself, but it does give you a sense of how active the volcano

is and the real danger is coming from those fissures, the cracks in the ground where you see the fountain shooting up into the air. some of them have become dormant at times and then they have really reactivated. one particularly close to a geothermal plant has reactivated just in the last 24—48 hours. one of the fissures that is really bringing lava onto the property of that geothermal power plant is causing a great deal of concern. i can tell you that the lava has already destroyed a project site just adjacent to it, but at the moment they say that they believe the wells those deep wells that go deep underground, are not under threat. they're concerned they could potentially explode and they could potentially release all of these toxic gases in the air

as they go so far deep, in order to use steam and hot waterfrom deep beneath this island to push turbines and create electricity. no doubt they will be keeping a very close eye on that. just briefly, we saw people getting food and being evacuated from areas, how much disruption are people still suffering? there is a huge amount of disruption. 2,000 people have been told to leave their homes and while some people will say it is a small percentage of the island, it is affecting the people who live there. i have to say, when you talk to islanders, they know they live in a volcano and are used to the idea of living with lava, but nonetheless there are people who have lost their houses and simply don't know when they will be able to return home in other cases. those are lives who have been changed in the short term, in some cases, forever. let's take a look at some of the other stories making the news: venezuela has expelled the top two us representatives in the country after the americans criticised the re—election of president nicolas maduro. mr maduro said the us charge d'affaires and another senior diplomat had been conspiring

against his government. the us state department rejected the allegations. two satellites have been launched into orbit to measure the weight of water on earth. scientists can use this information to track how water moves between the land and the oceans, and to monitor the behaviour of the ice sheets. a new lawsuit claims the american singer r kelly knowingly infected a 19—year—old woman with an incurable sexually transmitted disease. faith rogers says she was mentally, physically and verbally abused during her relationship with the r&b singer. r kelly is facing a string of sexual misconduct allegations by former girlfriends, which he denies. 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 parliamentarians were angry that he didn't

answer their questions. the bbc‘s damian grammaticas in brussels has the details. first of all, they were delighted that he agreed to come here. remember, he has not agreed to go to a address parliament in the uk, but they were left extremist russia could, there were really tetchy exchanges at the end of partly down to the format, this was 90 minutes, the first hour was the full political leaders in the parliament putting questions, but rather than questions followed by answer, it was one hour of many questions and then half an hour of his replies. he was able to reply to the specific questions with generality, saying facebook would do better and they didn't feel like they got answers to many questions, including about that

data breach of 80 odd million users to cambridge analytica, did he know or approve the decision not to tell anyone about that? no answer. would they come clean about the taxes they pay in everyjurisdiction? no answer. what about data privacy? would they agree to follow all european rules and not collect data that people who don't even log in? no answer. they were left saying that unless they do get answers they will push for greater scrutiny of facebook‘s competition role, its giant size and whether that should be looked into. stay with us on bbc news. still to come: for whom the bell tolls. after a ten year battle in the french courts, a statue of popejohn paul ii is finally on the move. this morning, an indian air force plane carrying mr gandhi's body landed in delhi. the president of india walked to the plane to solemnly witness mr gandhi's final return from the political battlefield. ireland has voted overwhelmingly in favour of gay marriage.

in doing so, it's become the first country in the world to approve the change in a national referendum. it was a remarkable climax to what was surely the most extraordinary funeral ever given to a pop singer. it has been a peaceful funeral demonstration so far, but some of the police are tear—gassing the crowd — we don't yet know why. the pre—launch ritual is well established here. helen was said to be in good spirits butjust a little apprehensive. in the last hour, east timor has become the world's newest nation. it was a bloody birth for a poor country and the challenges ahead are daunting but for now, at least, it is time to celebrate. this is bbc news. our main story this hour: president trump has said there's a risk that his planned summit with the leader of north korea won't go

ahead next month. it's been one year since a suicide bomber killed 22 people at a pop concert in the uk city of manchester. many of those who died were children. a few hours ago, another concert was held in honour of the victims. earlier, the prime minister and the duke of cambridge attended a memorial service in the city, where they led a nationwide minute of silence. our special correspondent, allan little, reports on the day's events. singing. # amazing grace, how sweet the sound # that saved a wretch like me... it was a service in keeping with the values this city articulated so powerfully in the days after the bombing. at its heart the enduring grief of the families gathered here, and a quiet, restrained pride in manchester's resilience and defiance. a city united in its determination

not to poison civic life with hatred. may we be able to view our lost friends with eyes wide with calming grace, forgive them the damage we were left to inherit. free ourselves from the chains of forlorn resentment, bring warmth again to where the heart has frozen... the place of worship was christian, the commemoration multi—faith, reflecting the diversity central to manchester's identity. we pray for understanding, and for the strength and courage to cope with what has happened, as we share with one another, help us to find comfort in our companionship and active love. # is somewhere over the rainbow... 22 candles, one for each of the dead. they were made from wax

accumulated from candles in st anne's square. then the congregation looked into the faces of those who died and were reminded of their youth and vigor and the joy for living. the service was broadcast crowds outside. at 2:30pm they stood for a national minute's silence. inside, prince william read from the new testament. love is patient, love is kind. love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. it does not insist on its own way. it is not irritable or resentful. it does not rejoice in wrongdoing. but rejoices in the truth.

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. while we sometimes overwhelm people with care and support in the immediate aftermath of injury or loss, we then withdraw, interests ta ken off in other directions. too often, just a few months on from a horrific event, those still bearing the pain are left feeling unsupported. some are even made to feel guilty at not having got over it as rapidly as the rest of us would find comfortable. god has no timetable for oui’ recovery from tragedy. he knows of the hurt we experience which can last a lifetime. tonight, manchester turned a day of sombre reflection into a joyful

celebration of life. thousands gathered for a mass singalong, as though to demonstrate what many have spent the day saying, that in this city they refuse to answer hatred with more hatred. the poet, tony walsh, but the prevailing sentiment into words. choosing love, we are showing how to, manchester could not be prouder, hate won't win ‘cause love sings louder, love sings louder, love sings louder. they sang a song by noel gallagher, formerly of the manchester band, oasis, the title of which captures the spirit, don't look back in anger. it is a show of spirit but does not diminish the private anguish of the bereaved.

allan little, bbc news, manchester. meghan markle and harry have had their first public engagement as a royal couple. we were there. 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 practise the art of being royal. the small talk that will be such

a feature of meghan‘s working life. that's true... 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 co—operate. 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.

a statue of stjohn paul ii which has been embroiled in a row over the separation between church and state is finally to be moved from its current location in brittany. the statue was donated by a georgian sculptor not long after the former pope died. but campaigners in the town of ploermel say it violated france's strict secular laws. for more than a decade, he has stared out over this town square. the polish pontiff safeguarding the catholic souls of returne. the polish pontiff safeguarding the catholic souls of brittany. but now work has finally begun of moving john paul ii. the court said this statue was a religious symbol and therefore could not remain in this space. relucta ntly, eventually, local priests agreed. translation: the church sought to be a force of appeasement and look

for a solution which avoided escalating violence. we have gotten into a complicated situation, as you can see. a service was held to bless the new land where the statue will be moved. crucially, this is church property and not owned by the local government. the plan is to create a place of recollection and prayer dedicated to stjohn paul ii. translation: it was really controversial. now it will perhaps come down a bit, and it is relaxing here. i do not mind. all things going to plan, by the middle of next month, it should be firmly ensconced in its new home, that new home being 30 metres away from the old one. local government moves in mysterious ways. tim allman, bbc news.

for those who recall new york city in the late 1970s, or have seen it on the big screen, you'll know it was a gritty place. now there's a new photo exhibit highlighting a sunnier side of the city in the summer of 1978. take a look. i think the story is ultimately a story of resiliency. new york lost a million people in population in that decade. $5,315,172; £1,133; . ., the city almost went bankrupt in the mid—1970s. it was both a period of abandonment but also great energy. went on strike.
