this is bbc news. the headlines at 103m: it looks to be back on. preparations for a summit next month with north korean leader kimjong—un and president trump, are going ahead as originally planned. cancellations and delays to flights at stansted airport after a lightning strike which hit across southern england knocked out the aircraft fuelling system. senior politicians call for northern ireland's strict abortion laws to be relaxed as voters in the irish republic overwhelmingly back change in a referendum. the government is considering whether to expand england's network of national parks and areas of outstanding natural beauty. organisers of the dance music mutiny festival in portsmouth cancel the event, after two people died there in separate incidents. in the next hour: misery for liverpool fans. two game—changing mistakes from their goalkeeper help real madrid to win the champions league final in kiev. and in half an hour here on bbc news, a choir
10:01 am
relives some of the most tuneful moments of prince harry's wedding to meghan markle, with a right royal singalong. good morning and welcome to bbc news. north korea's leader kim jong—un is committed to de—nuclear—isation. that's the view of south korea's president who met him for the second time this month, on saturday. as preparations for a summit with the united states get back on track, moonjae—in said mr kim's main concern is the stability of his government and he's not sure that washington can guarantee it. our correspondent rupert wingfield—hayes is in seoul. nothing conveys the dramatic change of mood here in korea than this, president moonjae—in and kimjong un
10:02 am
embracing once again. just 2a hours earlier, president moon had seen months of careful diplomacy blown apart by a letterfrom the us president. now he was being welcomed to a second secret summit with kim jong un by his younger sister. we now know this meeting was requested by kim himself and arranged in just one day. it is a measure ofjust how badly kimjong un wants the summit with president trump to go ahead. the south korean president said kim told him he is committed to the complete denuclearisation of the korean peninsula, but is worried about america's aggressive intentions towards his regime. translation: i told chairman kim that if he decides to put into practice a complete denuclearisation, president trump is willing for economic co—operation and ending hostile relations.
10:03 am
from president trump too the noises are now increasingly optimistic. having cancelled the summit on thursday, by saturday the us president sounded as if that had never happened. we're doing very well in terms of the summit with north korea. as you know, there are meetings going on as we speak. a lot of people are working on it. it's looking very nicely. were looking at 12 june in singapore, that hasn't changed. it has been an extraordinary week. north korea putting on dramatic show of blowing up its nuclear test facilities. accusations and epithets flying between pyongyang and washington. a summit that was on, then off, then maybe on again. predictions are now a dangerous game
10:04 am
to play, but it does appear these three men, all for their own particular reasons, do want the singapore meeting to happen. earlier i spoke to rupert wingfield hayes — he started by telling me about the significance of yesterday's meeting between the two korean leaders. welcome was really interesting yea rs, welcome was really interesting years, as i said in the piece, this was requested by pyongyang, by kim jong—un. and that is a clear indication that he wants this diplomacy to continue. he wants a meeting with president trump. after it was cancelled on thursday night, north korea was very conciliatory in its response. that led to the summit on saturday and it is now led to president trump responding more positively. president moon is now acting as a go—between between these two leaders. the big question hangs
10:05 am
over all of this. pyongyang wants a summitand it over all of this. pyongyang wants a summit and it is looking like president trump wants this to happen as well. and it's very very clear that president moon wants this to go forward very rapidly. but there is this question hanging over all of it which is what does kim jong—un mean when he says he wants to denuclearisation of the korean peninsula? does that mean he wants to unilaterally give up his nuclear weapons? think the answer is probably no. so how is president trump going to react when he gets in a room and discovers that is not the deal that he will get. still a huge gulf between these two. all three men are having to perform for their own audiences at home. none of them wa nt to
10:06 am
own audiences at home. none of them want to look naive or weak. that's absolutely right. all of them have different agendas. answer the question going into this potential renewed summit in singapore is, what can each of them take away? what qualifies as a woman? for a kim jong—un, a win isjust holding the summitand jong—un, a win isjust holding the summit and getting a face—to—face meeting with president trump. that enhances his stature as a world leader, it's what the north koreans have wa nted leader, it's what the north koreans have wanted for generations. the big question is, what is a win for president trump? he's not going to get the one—off unilateral disarmament of north korea he wants, so disarmament of north korea he wants, so what can he get out of singapore he can take back to his supporters in the us and say, look, i've made a breakthrough and this is something no previous us president has been able to do. i crack incredible images of the two korean leaders. ——
10:07 am
incredible images. stansted airport says flights are being seriously disrupted after a thunderstorm last night. a lightning strike has disabled the aircraft fuelling system. no flights are being allowed to land and the only planes which have taken off this morning are those which already had enough fuel on board. hundreds of passengers are facing delays as the half term holiday break begins. we do understand that the rob has been fixed. on the line is seanjohnson who was due to leave the airport before six this morning to fly to tenerife? we boarded the aeroplane at five to six this morning. we have been told we will not be flying until 3pm. how much information are you getting from the airport? from the airport
10:08 am
itself, not much. on the plane, the captain kept us updated very regularly. the cabin crew were fantastic. handing out free drinks. a lot of it was finding out more information on twitter, to be honest. sounds like you have a long wait. not much fun with kids. good luck. hope you get to tenerife safeway. and also stuck at stansted is steve childs who hoped he and his family would be landing in madrid around now. now, we are currently at the gate. standstill at the gate, no movement. looking at some of the footage you have shot yourself, a lot of people crowded into the terminal building, trying to find out what's going on.
10:09 am
it must be difficult when you have children with you, trying to keep them entertained. surely you can appreciate mother nature has done something and these things happen. what is it you another passengers are angry about? the lack of information. would have heard nothing at all from the airport. all we have heard is through twitter. there is no information from the staff. there are no staff here. there is a lack of information. little tip, bbc news is on the screens in the terminal at the gates. if it isn't, ask from a
10:10 am
remote control. we will try to find out more for you and the other passengers. there are no tv screens on. get them switched on! we will keep you updated. all the best. hope you get your flight soon. we will of course keep you updated as much as we can about the flight situation. the advice is to contact your airline and they will be able to tell you exactly when your flight is scheduled to leave, if indeed it is. organisers of the dance music mutiny music festival in portsmouth have cancelled the event after the deaths of a man and a woman who fell ill. their deaths are separate incidents and not being treated as suspicious. earlier the festival issued a warning about a dangerous high strength or bad batch substance on the site and have urged festival—goers not to take any drugs. england could get more national parks as part of a review of the country's landscape.
10:11 am
the environment secretary, michael gove, said the review would also look at whether to increase the number of areas of outstanding natural beauty. ben ando reports. the cpre are now fighting for great tracts of land to be used for national parks. between the wars, the battle raged for britain's open spaces and the right to roam. there were mass trespasses, arrests and propaganda films like this. but it wasn't until 1951 that the post—war government legislated to create britain's first national park, here in the peak district, a place where ordinary people could enjoy the extraordinary beauty of nature and that would be protected from overzealous developers. over the intervening years, others have been added. the lake district, dartmoor, snowdonia in wales and the cairngorms in scotland. now, there are 15 national parks. 70 years on, the environment secretary michael gove says it is time for a fresh look at the system. writing in the sunday telegraph, prime minister gove says a growing
10:12 am
population and decline in some habitats could not be ignored and he is ordering a review, which he says has the aim of strengthening protection in the face of present—day challenges. challenges like new housing estates encroaching on the outer edges of national parks and britain's 3a designated areas of outstanding natural beauty. the government has previously talked about a 25 year environment plan and a green brexit. mr gove knows it may be hard to balance demand for new homes with the desire to protect britain's open spaces, whether green and pleasant or wild and rugged. a landslide vote in favour of overturning ireland's abortion ban gives hope to northern ireland, that's according to penny mordaunt, the minister for women and equalities. the referendum result has sparked calls for the issue to be reassessed in northern ireland, where laws are much stricter than the rest of the uk. ireland's prime minister said those who had voted against repeal
10:13 am
would be unhappy but that a quiet revolution had taken place. for me it is also a day when we say "no more". no more to doctors telling their patients that there's nothing can be done for them in their own country. no more lonely journeys across the irish sea. no more stigma, as the veil of secrecy is lifted. and no more isolation, as the burden of shame is gone. earlier i spoke to our ireland correspondent, chris page, who began by explaining the strict abortion laws in northern ireland. the current abortion laws in northern ireland are that one can only have a termination if there is a permanent or serious risk to her health. in dublin, people are reflecting on the significance of the referendum result. people voted bya margin the referendum result. people voted by a margin of two to one to overturn the amendment. to give us
10:14 am
an idea of the papers in dublin, the sunday business post says ireland has wrestled with its past and voted to redefine its future. in the sunday times, island opens the door to abortion. it had been thought this would increase calls for there to bea this would increase calls for there to be a change in the law on abortion north of the border. the irish government will now be taking legislation forward to legalise abortion for any reason until a woman is 12 weeks pregnant and in circumstance leads —— in some circumstances circumstance leads —— in some ci rcu msta nces afterwards. circumstance leads —— in some circumstances afterwards. they may well be deciding whether to open up services in the republic to women from northern ireland. the sunday times in london is reporting some senior conservative women mps including some former cabinet members have been calling on the government to continue legislating for northern ireland to loosen up restrictions on abortion there. but
10:15 am
it's worth remembering that of the five main political parties in northern ireland, none of them are actually in favour of extending abortion laws from the rest of the uk to northern ireland. there is some support for more liberalisation. the largest party, the dup, currently propping up the minority government at westminster, they are opposed to any change in they are opposed to any change in the law. yesterday, ian paisley tweeted northern ireland should not be bullied into accepting abortion on demand. i think you can expect there to be an increase in the campaigning fora there to be an increase in the campaigning for a change in the law, but that is no guarantee for that to happen. the headlines on bbc news: donald trump has indicated that preparations for a summit next month with the leader of north korea, kimjong—un, are going ahead as originally planned. an electrical storm has caused serious disruption at stansted airport with hundred of passengers stranded and flights delayed. politicians are calling for northern ireland's strict abortion laws to be liberalised, after voters in the irish republic overwhelmingly backed changes in their referendum. sport now, and time for a full
10:16 am
round up from the bbc sport centre. good morning. there's only one place to start. liverpool's champions league final defeat to real madrid. jurgen klopp's side lost 3—1 to real who clinched their thirteenth european cup. apart from sadio manes goal little went to plan for liverpool as david ornstein reports. the kings of european football... real madrid, champions of europe for a 13th time. liverpool, heartbroken. the reds arrived with dreams of another famous triumph, but soon suffered the cruellest of blows. mohamed salah, their inspiration
10:17 am
all season, hauled to the ground forced off, inconsolable. the key threat removed, real could rally, and were gifted the lead. an inexplicable error by loris karius punished by karim benzema. liverpool's blushes were temporarily spared when sadio mane levelled the tie. however, real are a great side for a reason, and gareth bale showed why. on as a substitute, the welshman defied gravity to make the seemingly impossible a reality. a moment worthy of winning any match, and bale soon sealed the trophy — another horror show from karius, and real would reign once again. so liverpool's unforgettable journey comes to an agonising end. their supporters here and at home will be distraught. losing to real madrid is no disgrace, but the circumstances will leave a bitter taste, and a whole summer to ponder how different it could've been. so it was a night to forget for liverpool's goalkeeper loris karius. but his managerjurgen klopp says
10:18 am
he feels for the german. is really hard. nobody wants that. the mistakes were obvious. we don't have to talk like that, it's all clear. he knows that, i know it, you all know it. now he has to deal with that, we have to deal with that. we will be with him, there's no doubt about that. fulham have won promotion to the premier league after beating aston villa in today's play off final at wembley. it's a match they call the most lucrative in football with the winners in line for around £150 million. the london club, who missed out on automatic promotion on the last day of the season, were 1—0 winners. tom cairney‘s first half goal enough to see the london club return to the top flight after a four year absence. cycling now and another momentous achievement by chris froome.
10:19 am
barring an accident he'll become the first british rider to win the giro d'italia later today in the grand tour's final processional stage, where froome will cross the line as just the third cyclist in history to hold all three of the sport's major race titles at the same time. along with the vuelta espana and tour de france. he's still awaiting the result of a doping hearing into his use of an asthma drug in spain. saracens are english rugby union's champions after beating exeter 27—10 in the premiership final at twickenham. sarries had finished the regular season in second place behind the chiefs but scored four tries in a repeat of the 2016 final, and clinched their third premiership title in four seasons. lei nster have leinster have beaten the defending champions, capping a remarkable season for irish rugby. england lost
10:20 am
wickets at regular intervals on the third day. and at one stage it seems pakistan would win the match with two days to spare. england have a lead of 56 with four wickets remaining. in formula one, red bull had a bittersweet day ahead of today's monaco grand prix. while max verstappen's crash meant he will start today's race from the back of the grid. his teammate daniel ricciardo was more fortunate, grabbing pole position. lewis hamilton starts third on the grid. that's all the sport for now. the names of the first colleges in england that will teach new technical qualifications have been announced by the government. the courses for 16—year—olds are intended to be on a par with a levels.
10:21 am
there have been concerns that the courses, some of which start being taught from september 2020, are being brought in too quickly. the education secretary damian hinds has been defending the timescale of the changes. these things take time. eventually there will be 25 new courses of study. only talking about three coming in in 2020 and only for around 15 colleges out of the many hundreds of colleges. it's a gradual process. you we are may 2018, we started this design process a couple of years ago, the guus til two years and four months until teaching will begin and another two years after that until completion. so this is completing at the appropriate pace. they informed churchill that hitler was dead and picked up on the first reports of the nuclear disaster at chernobyl. bbc monitoring has been covering breaking international stories as they happen for more than 70 years. but now the team are set to bid farewell to caversham park, the grand building it has called
10:22 am
home since the second world war. david sillito has been to meet the men and women who've listened into history. translation: this is moscow... i have today been informed by chairman khrushchev... welcome to caversham. and this is? the listening room. this is where you listened to the world? it was indeed. and i would sit in a position over there to do spanish. i would sit over here to do french... so, were you a spy? no, not at all. open source broadcasting. archive footage: the listening posts at caversham are a major source of news and information... what they were doing was listening to the world's news broadcasts, gathering information vital for newsrooms and government. this is a transcript that confirmed the end of the second world war. the cuban missile crisis came to an end after monitors here heard a speech from the soviet leader nikita khrushchev. linda ebhurst started working here more than 50
10:23 am
years ago, and in the days before computers telling the world a major news story had broken was down the fast typing, carbon copies and a handcranked pulley. so you've got the three copies. what do you do? well, you need to take the flash for the newsroom first, so you come out through the door, into the hall, through there, into the newsroom. and then? and then you've got to give a copy to the americans. where are they? top floor. how do you get it up there? you had a little table with a rope pulley, and two wooden boxes, and a bell. a rope pulley, to announce major news stories, to the rest of the world and america? yes, so you would press the button and up it would go. chris mosley started working at caversham in the 1980s. it was a building with a mood, a mix of aristocratic splendour and civil service tea trolleys. the atmosphere was very much the cold war atmosphere, i'd say.
10:24 am
we were running on adrenaline, in some ways. today it's almost deserted. the last few monitors are preparing to go. but this abandoned floor holds a particular memory. in 1986, we're talking about... radio: the soviet government reports... he was listening to swedish news and heard mention of radiation. radiation coming from chernobyl. so outside of sweden, and the soviet union, you were the first person to know? yes. i think i was. mps on the defence select committee have voiced concerns about monitoring leaving caversham, but the bbc says times have moved on. it is, though, the end of an era. it's a great shame. monitoring has been here since 1943, which means that this year is the 75th anniversary of monitoring occupying caversham park. that is sad. very sad. but life moves on. music lovers across the uk have been treated to a second day of headline
