11:01 am
biggest weekend in swansea. good morning and welcome to bbc news. the latest on the north korean summit, it seems to be back on. north korea's leader, kim jong—un, is committed to denuclearisation. 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
11:02 am
of mood here in korea than this, president moonjae—in and kimjong—un 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 kim jong—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
11:03 am
and ending hostile relations. 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 moving along very nicely. we're looking at 12th june in singapore, that hasn't changed. it has been an extraordinary week. north korea putting on a 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 to play, but it does
11:04 am
appear these three men, kim, moon and trump, all for their own particular reasons, do want the singapore meeting to happen. earlier rupert wingfield hayes told me more about the significance of yesterday's meeting between the two korean leaders. well, i think what's really interesting is, as i said in the piece there, this was requested by pyongyang, by kimjong—un. and that is a clear indication that he wants this diplomacy to continue, that he wants a meeting with president trump. north korea, after it was cancelled by president trump on thursday night, was very, very conciliatory in its response and that led to saturday's summit. it has also led to president trump now responding more positively. president moon is now acting as a go—between between these two leaders. i think the big question still hangs over all of this is, yes,
11:05 am
pyongyang wants a summit. it appears that president trump is keen for a summit to take place too, and it's very, very clear that president moon wants this process to move forward rapidly, but there is this big question hanging over all of it, which is, what does kim jong—un mean when he says he wants to denuclearise the korean peninsula, that he is committed to that? does that mean that he is willing to unilaterally give up his nuclear weapons? i think the answer to that is probably no. but if the answer to that is no, how is president trump going to react, if he gets in a room with kim jong—un and finds out he's not going to get the nuclear deal he's hoping for? it's still a huge gulf between them on this issue. i suppose the other problem as well, rupert, is not only the lack of trust, but as you mentioned in your piece, all three men are having to perform for their own audiences at home as well. none of them want to look naive or weak. that's absolutely right. and all of them have different agendas.
11:06 am
and so the question going into this potential renewed summit in singapore is, what can each of them take away. what qualifies as a win? i think for kim jong—un, a win isjust holding the summit, getting the summit, getting the face—to—face meeting with president trump is a huge win for him. it enhances his stature as a world leader. it's what the north koreans have wanted, really, for generations. i think the big question is, what is a win for president trump, because he's not going to get the nuclear deal, the one—off unilateral disarmament of north korea that he wants. so what can he get out of singapore that he can take back to his supporters in the us and say, look, i have made a success, i have made a breakthrough, and this is something no other previous us president has been able to do. amazing scenes between the two korean leaders. much more from

rupert on the bbc news website. there's been serious disruption at stansted airport after a thunderstorm last night. thousands of passengers are facing delays and cancellations after a lightning strike disabled the aircraft fuelling system. the airport say that the problem has now been fixed, but passengers should check with their airline for updates. it comes at the start of the half term holiday break. we have been speaking to passengers throughout the morning. 0n the line is april peake who is trying to get to lisbon. what have you been told by the airport? frankly, not very much. i have been quite persistent, i have maybe gone a bit more than other people, and the latest is that a lot of the flights which were due to depart have dropped off the board. the office says stansted don't know why. handy. we are looking at some of the photographs you have taken, and another passenger, steve childs,
11:08 am
and another passenger, steve childs, an awful lot of people crowded into the terminal system. you can only have so many cups of coffee and brea kfasts have so many cups of coffee and breakfasts before boredom sets in, particularly if you have kids. is anything being provided for you as passengers, be it refreshments, information on the ground? nothing. we had one woman in a high visibility jacket giving we had one woman in a high visibilityjacket giving out information about ten minutes ago. i had waited for three hours, with nothing to drink or eat, and no information, really. the most we got was if you want flights, and they showed cancelled, you could go on the app and rebook it and or cancel it and get a refund. but if it showed nothing like mine... what else will you do? i don't know, really. keep pestering. hopefully i will be able to get out to lisbon at some point and join my friend who is already there! thank you for speaking to us and updating as.
11:09 am
no problem. we will keep you updated on bbc news if we hear any more, but try to speak to your airline if you are due to fly later today. a landslide vote in favour of overturning ireland's abortion ban gives "hope" to northern ireland, that's according to penny mordaunt, the ministerfor 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 would be unhappy but that a "quiet revolution" had taken place. for me, it's 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. i spoke to our ireland correspondent, chris page, who began by explaining the strict abortion laws in northern ireland.
11:10 am
the current abortion laws in northern ireland, chris, are that a woman can only have terminations if there is a permanent or serious risk to her health. now here in dublin today, i think people are reflecting on the significance of the referendum result. people voted by a margin of 2—1 to overturn the eighth amendment of the irish constitution, which amounted to, in effect, a near ban on abortions here in the irish republic. to give you an idea of what the papers here in dublin are saying, the sunday business post talk about generation yes, saying ireland has wrestled with its past and voted to redefine its future. the irish edition of the sunday times says ireland opens door to abortion. now, it had been thought that this would increase calls for there to be a chang in the law on abortion, north of the irish border. for example, the irish government will be now taking forward legislation through the irish parliament here to legalise abortion for any reason, until a woman is 12 weeks pregnant, and in some circumstances afterwards. and they may well be considering whether to open up abortion services here in the republic to women from northern ireland.
11:11 am
for example, the sunday times in london today is reporting that some senior conservative women mps, including some former cabinet ministers, have been calling on the government to consider legislating for northern ireland to loosen up the restrictions on abortion. but it is worth remembering, chris, that of the five main political parties in northern ireland, none of them are actually in favour of extending the abortion laws in the rest of the uk to northern ireland. you do have some political support from some more limited liberal organisations. the largest party, the democratic unionist party, currently propping up theresa may's minority government at westminster, well, they are opposed to any change in the law. and yesterday the dup mp ian paisley tweeted that northern ireland shouldn't be bullied into accepting abortion on demand. i think you can certainly expect to see an increase in campaigning for the law in northern ireland to be changed, but there's no guarantee whatsoever that that is actually going to happen. chris page reporting earlierfrom

dublin. 0rganisers 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. that festival has been cancelled today. england could get more national parks as part of a review of the country's landscape. 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
11:13 am
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, mr gove says a growing 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. ben ando, bbc news. a 15—year—old boy has been charged with murder after a boy of the same age was stabbed to death in sheffield. the victim hasn't been named and was found in the lowedges area of the city. it's now the third stabbing in a week in sheffield. police have since been given special stop—and—search powers to tackle knife crime in the city. 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 for a full round up,

from the bbc sport centre, here's richard askam. liverpool fans are refelecting on a bruising champions league final defeat to real madrid. jurgen klopp's side lost 3—1 to real, who clinched their 13th european cup. apart from sadio mane's goal little went to plan for liverpool as david 0rnstein 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 all season, hauled to the ground and 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
11:16 am
were temporarily spared when sadio mane levelled the tie. however, real are a great side for a reason, and gareth bale showed why. 0n 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. david 0rnstein, bbc news, kiev. so it was a night to forget for liverpool's goalkeeper loris karius. but his managerjurgen klopp says he feels for his keeper.
11:17 am
it's really hard. i really feel for him, nobody wants that. and... yeah, that's the situation. the mistakes were obvious. we don't have to talk about that. it's all clear. he knows it, i know it, you all know it. and now he has to deal with it, we have to deal with it. we will do that, and of course we will be with him. there's no doubt about that. fulham are preparing for life in the premier league after they beat aston villa in the championship 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 i—0 winners, tom cairney‘s first half goal enough to see them return to the top flight after a four year absence. cycling now, and another momentous achievement by chris froome. barring an accident, he'll become the first to win the giro d'italia later today
11:18 am
in the grand tour's final processional stage. 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. england's cricketers are fighting for survival on day four of the first test against pakistan. they started the day with a slinder 2nd inning lead of 56 but they have already lost the wickets ofjos buttler and mark wood. with debutant dominc bess still at the crease they are currently 241—8, a lead of 62. 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. elsewhere, in the pro 11! final, european champions leinster beat scarlets to complete a historic double. leinster won 40—32 at

dublin's aviva stadium to beat the defending champions, capping a remarkable season for irish rugby. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories including a look ahead to today's monoco grand prix on the bbc sport website. we will stay with sport, and the dominating story this weekend. liverpool's dreams of lifting the european cup for a sixth time came to a crushing end last night when they were defeated 3—1 by real madrid in the champions league final. the spanish side have won the tournament three times in as many years under manager zinedine zidane. the goal of the match — gareth bale's incredible overhead kick, only minutes after coming off the bench. it was a different story for liverpool goalkeeper loris karius, though, who failed in two of the madrid goals. liverpool and egypt international

mohamed salah suffered a serious shoulder injury and his participation at the world cup is now in doubt. an awful lot to cope with. with us now is sports psychologist bradley busch, author of ‘release your inner drive' — he's done research footballers and the fear of failure. talk us through what to do with an athlete or footballer, to talk us through what to do with an athlete orfootballer, to build talk us through what to do with an athlete or footballer, to build them up athlete or footballer, to build them up psychologically to succeed or to get overfailure. how up psychologically to succeed or to get over failure. how do you do that? what we do is we work with either teams or individual players privately, and help them work out how they can best perform under pressure. 0ften how they can best perform under pressure. often that involves working out what went well, what areas they need to improve on, and essentially have them think more clearly a nd essentially have them think more clearly and correctly under pressure. if liverpool fans think
11:21 am
they are feeling down and depressed today, that will be nothing compares today, that will be nothing compares to their goalkeeper. just looking at social media, some pretty nasty tweets aimed at him out there. many people saying he made schoolboy errors and should never play in goal again. how do you help somebody going through that kind of online critique? the first thing we tell all our clients is, don't pay too much attention to social media. everybody tends to write in extremes, so you are either the very best or the worst, and neither one is accurate or will help your learning. the second point would be to use mistakes in a positive way, help them use it to develop their resilience, their mindset, and learn from it so they can come back better in the future. what do you think will happen to him now? presumably he might sat there thinking he will be sacked! i don't think he will be
11:22 am
sacked for one poor performance, especially after he had quite a good season. so what are his options in a situation like this? it could go one of two ways. if he chooses to ruminate over it, to dwell and make it into a catastrophe, it could be the key moment of his career. but if he learns from it, works harder, and used next season as an opportunity to prove people wrong, he could come better from it. in many ways, he will be looking at what he could have done differently. he might look back at videos and what went wrong, because we are very quick to criticise the goalkeeper, and it can often be down to the skill of the players and a bit of luck. absolutely, luck and randomness play a huge part, especially in a sports like football, where low scoring matches happen and one event can have a huge effect on the outcome. he will look to people close to him, his coach, if he has a sports
