hello, i'm karin giannone, this is outside source. are we seeing the start of a global trade war? the us hits its trading partners with tariffs on steel. canada responds in kind — and the eu's not happy either. it is totally on acceptable that a country is imposing unilateral measures when it comes to world trade. summit preparations continue — north korea's has been meeting the us secretary of state for a second time, in new york. and second time lucky — italy's president has given this man guiseppe conte, the chance to form a new government at the second time of asking. and if you want to get in touch — the hashtag is bbc 0s the us has said it will start imposing tariffs on steel and aluminium imports — from its allies. the tariffs will come into effect

from midnight us—time tonight as you can see, the us imports most of its steel from canada, the eu, and mexico — all of whose steel imports will now be subject to a 25% tax; meanwhile, aluminium imports will be taxed at 10%. as you can imagine, america's trading partners aren't happy. mexico immediately vowed to retaliate. and here's canada's reaction. the american administration has made a decision that we deplore and beauty is going to lead to retallick thracian —— and clearly it is going to lead to retaliation, we regret that, we would rather move forward together in partnership knowing that no two countries have economies as interwoven and mutually beneficial as canada and the united states. the europeans are also upset. germany's called the tariffs unlawful. and here's the president of the eu commission. this is a bad day for world trade. the european union cannot react

to that without a kind of reaction, so we will immediately introduce a settlement dispute on the wto level and will announce in the next coming hours counterbalancing measures. what they can do, we are able to do exactly the same. it is totally unacceptable that a country is imposing unilateral measures when it comes to trade. a very angryjean—claude juncker. he also said the eu had "no choice" but to bring a case before the world trade organization — and impose duties on us imports. kim gittleson is in new york. why did the us decide to press ahead with this? strong words like that, it is

america already than when this far, so america already than when this far, so let me take you back in time to early march when these tariffs were announced as they will give a sense of why the us felt it was justified in imposing these tariffs. they did a section 232 investigation, they we re a section 232 investigation, they were trying to figure out whether domestic steel and aluminium manufacturers had been hurt by cheap imports and there were trying to figure out of these industries have been hurt so much that he was a threat to national security because in the us we would not be able to produce enough steel in the event of an emergency where we would need something like planes, the investigation found the industries had been harmed and the us said it could impose these tariffs notjust for countries like the eu, mexico and canada, but a range of other countries, and many of those said they would accept a different thing, like quotas. like with south korea

which said, we don't want to be subject to these import tariffs, and instead we would export less to the us, and us tried to do that with eu but clearly that fired. —— failed. there's also been pushback from the aluminum association, which says it represents the majority of aluminium production and jobs in the us. its ceo said. but this is what us commerce secretary wilbur ross had to say about the economic impact. the tariffs are a fraction of 1% on products. the beer, soft drink and soup cans, it's all a fraction of a penny on each of those. in terms of

the automobile, it's also a fraction of i%, and for the economy overall it's a very small fraction of i%. some are remarking if that's how the us treats its friends, what about rivals like china? the idea is, if there won't be a big economic impact, why impose these tariffs? new hit the nail on the head regarding china, many people feel these tariffs are just a precursor to what the us is considering when it comes to its biggest trade rival. wilbur ross will be in beijing this weekend talking that ongoing trade tensions between the us and china will stop —— talking about. last week we had the us had initially decided they would be a trade truce between the countries and then at the beginning this week they said never mind, we will go ahead and impose 25% tariffs on $50 billion worth of chinese

imports to the us. that is seen as one of the crucial thing is that president trump promised to the american people on the campaign trail, he said he would make america great again and protect american industry and he would fix what he considered on fair trade practices by the chinese when it comes to doing business in the us. some might wonder why, what does your —— europe and canada had to do with this, many feel this is just a sign that they are sending a serious message. thanks forjoining us. here's the latest on that long—awaited summit in singapore between kim jong—un and donald trump. the us secretary of state mike pompeo said "great progress" was made after holding talks in new york with the north korean leader's right hand man, kim yong chol. but mr pompeo said the matter wasn't quite over the line yet.

i know everyone is following this minute by minute, but this will be a process that will take days and weeks to work our way through and they will be tough moments and difficult times, i've had difficult conversations with them, as well. they have given it right back to me, as well. we are decades in today's challenge and one should not even be surprised or frightened or deterred by moments where it looks like they are challenges. our mission is to bridge the challenges so we can achieve the historic outcome. will we know tomorrow if there will actually be a summit? we don't know the answer to that. meetings are taking place all over the world in an effort to make this summit happen. the most significant meeting, as we've just heard, happened in new york, between mike pompeo and kim yong chol. it's now been confirmed that the north korean envoy will travel on to washington tomorrow to meet president trump, and hand deliver him a letter from leader kimjong un. meanwhile the white house has also

sent a team of its staff to singapore to continue thrashing out the logistics of the meeting, which they still expect to take place. significantly, this man north korea's chief of staff kim chang son — also flew to singapore for the talks. us diplomatic officials have also been meeting north korean counterparts in the demilitarised zone between north and south korea, with aim of finalising the content of the summit — namely the terms of expected denuclearisation. but perhaps the most surprising event of the day was the sudden arrival of russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov in pyongyang, where he met with kimjong un. here's our correspondent hywel griffith in seoul. while much of the world has been focusing on the discussions in new york between mike pompeo and north korea's kim yong chol, in the korean peninsula we have learned that the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov has been to visit north korea and has shaken hands with kim

jong—un. he has come with a message which is about peace on the korean peninsula but also talking about a much more cautious approach to denuclearisation and vitally saying that sanctions against north korea should be eased before that takes place. translation: we see how compact the problem is and how denuclearisation is tied to the establishment of peace and stability “ we see establishment of peace and stability —— we see how complex. this is equal and indivisible in northeast asia. joining me now is agathe l'homme, asia analyst for the economist. a word about why we saw sergei lavrov going to north korea. the russians have always been involved with north korea, and they want to stay in the game at everybody else can they don't have a lot to offer right now but it is important to say we are here and we matter. does it have any impact on the process? not really. it's more focusing on the us

and south korea. it doesn't look like anything external can derail it? not the russians, no. we have spoken about the diplomacy going on, are you viewing this positively? that is positive and also important to lay the groundwork for the actual meeting, that was necessary. however the differences on what denuclearisation axed the means are still there and that is why we are working on it and that is why mike pompeo did not commit to saying the meeting is going to happen —— actually means. in terms of the potential meeting on the 12th of june, it is becoming the case that ifa june, it is becoming the case that if a meeting happens it is not going to be the end point of any process but just a step to be the end point of any process butjust a step along the way? absolutely. that is what donald trump has said, he is preparing the scene trump has said, he is preparing the scene for potential new meanings and new summits and that is what the president of south korea president

moon has also been saying, several meetings, because if you are aiming for denuclearisation that will not ta ke for denuclearisation that will not take weeks and months, but probably yea rs take weeks and months, but probably years and probably decades. what are we expecting north korea to be offering and should it be trusted? you can turn the question around and say, can the usb trusted? —— can the us be trusted? north korea can offer a permanent suspension of testing and they can have inspectors from the international image agency coming to check on the installation, having people looking at the nuclear test site —— international energy agency. they can offer that and i can also expect from the us sanctions to be a stand that is important for them, to get more trade happening. —— us sanctions to be used and that was important to them. who is this more important for in terms of the leaders? both of

them want it for internal optics, for donald trump is important for him to showcase a victory, something which is remarkable and historical, but for kim jong—un having a meeting with the sitting us president is a strong victory as well and he will not... this is a victory in itself, sitting down with a us president? the first north korea leader to do so. the first north korea leader to do so. yes. his grandfather tried to do so so. yes. his grandfather tried to do so and failed. there was a concession for the us to have a meeting with the us president, that was a concession, that was used by the previous president, said this is clearly a win for kim jong—un. —— the previous president, said this is clearly a win for kimjong—un. —— so this is. thanks forjoining us. italy looks like it's finally about to get a new government — this was the moment a few minutes ago outside the office of the president in rome. guiseppe conte emerged

from inside to say he's accepted an offer to form a new government. last week, back here in the same spot, he refused, after the president vetoed his choice for economy minister. conte has now presented a different list of ministers to the president and the new government will be sworn in tomorrow. if you're feeling a sense of deja—vu, that's because this time last week, we were in a very similar position. mr di maio and mr salvini wanted this man guiseppe conte, to be the prime minister. but it was their choice of this man, paulo savona, to be economy minister, that thwarted their first attempt to form a government. here's katya again to explain. tam one is known as a eurosceptic

who says the currency works in favour of germany and not in favour of italy —— paulo savona is known. he says italy must be ready to lead a currency but that set off alarm bells in the eu and he was ruled out as the economy minister, but it now looks as though the new parties are taking away paulo savona from the position of economy but suggesting him for minister of european affairs instead, so that remains to be seen how well he gets on with brussels. but removing him from the key position as minister of the economy. in the past both the league and 5—star movement have called for a referendum in its lyon whether or not to stay inside the eurozone and both parties —— called for a referendum in italy. both of them have moved away from that but the threat will always hang in the air. thanks forjoining us. the russian journalist who helped staged his own death in ukraine says he agreed to take part in the plan because he feared for his life.

arkady babchenko says the deception involved pigs blood and a makeup artist to make it look real. he's been speaking to the bbc‘sjonah fisher. translation: they put make-up on me and the blood was real, everything was done for real. my wife called the police but the special police came and also emergency services and they took me to the morgue and i had to pretend to be dead until i was through the gates. did you have misgivings about taking part in a huge fight like this? —— fake. misgivings about taking part in a huge fight like this? -- fake. my dear friend, huge fight like this? -- fake. my dearfriend, let me put it like this, when the security service come to you and said there is an order out for your murder, you going to stay proud and say no, i would take part? come on. —— i won't take part? on tuesday, the ukrainian authorities said arkady babchenko had been gunned down at his apartment block, and suggested russia was responsible.

on wednesday, this was the moment he was back from the dead. they concocted the plan after receiving intelligence that there was a real plot to assassinate him, deciding to fake his death in order to expose russian agents. ukraine's security service also released this video. showing the moment they apprehended a man they say had received $40,000 from the russian secret service to organise babchenko's murder. he's now under arrest. earlier i spoke to irena taranyuk from our ukrainian service. very interesting developments in the whole arkady babchenko case, he started speaking to me spoke to the bbc and to a number of ukrainian channels and he spoke to his friends giving interview to the bbc russian

journalist who was a correspondent with him and who flew to kiev to bury him and to take part in his funeral, now had to interview him and give him a cuddle. very emotional day, and he explained why he took part in this sting operation, staged by the ukrainian secretly services, and also journalists, ukrainian journalists questioned the criticisms from foreign colleagues, saying, would you rather report his death or why are you happy that this operation was successful? —— why aren't. and today in kiev we have the alleged organiser of the alleged assassination in court, probably he will be remanded in custody for a couple of months, and he is the guy who the securities services showed

uber paying a first payment —— showed us paying a first payment to a hit man. the lengths they had to go to to make the crime scene look realistic, extraordinary. it was realistic, extraordinary. it was real blood, pig blood. he had to wear make up, they will make—up artists involved, a mannequin was shot from the back, the t—shirt have real bullet holes in it. he's made himself with the blood and also he also apologised to his wife. but she was fully aware of what was going on and she was in on it because she is after a ll and she was in on it because she is after all called the ambulance service to say that her husband had been hit by a bullet. she had to be in on it. stay with us on outside source — still to come. protests on the streets in kenya —

millions of dollars have gone missing from government departments with endemic corruption — people are saying they've had enough. britain's financial watchdog has announced a crackdown on companies which offer loans with high interest rates. the financial conduct authority wants a cap on the amount that can be charged by rent—to—own firms — where interest levels mean customers often end up paying many times what goods would cost on the high street. but the fca said it needs to do more work before deciding whether to cap overdraft charges. the chief executive of the fca, andrew bailey, explained why the changes are important. what i want to see in this country isa what i want to see in this country is a section of the population who is a section of the population who is dependent on this sort of credit, frankly gets a better deal. at the moment they are not getting a good deal and we owe it to them often we

owe it to the more vulnerable members of society to frankly make sure they get credit on better terms because they need it, to buy essential goods and spread the cost. it is frankly not fair at the moment. this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. our lead story: major economies have begun what could be a trade war after the us went ahead with long—awaited tariffs on steel and aluminium. canada responds in kind, and the eu has promised to do the same. some other stories we're looking at in the newsroom. the international committee of the red cross says it will send two surgical teams to gaza to help with an "unprecedented health crisis". more than 13,000 palestinians have been injured since violence flared up along the border with israel in march, the aid agency says. on tuesday, israel attacked militant

sites in gaza after it came under a heavy barrage of mortar and rocket fire. that's on bbc arabic. denmark has passed a ban on full—face veils. it becomes the latest in a number of eu countries to pass such a ban, which mainly affects muslim women wearing a niqab or burka. amnesty international has described the danish vote as a "discriminatory violation of women's rights". that's on bbc world service. and this is getting a lot of clicks online — a four year old sausage dog had to be deflated by vets, when a rare condition caused a hole in its windpipe and left air trapped under its skin. the dog, trevor, inflated to three times its normal size, before vets operated and brought him back down to size. facebook holds it annual shareholder meeting today and one of the burning issues is gender pay. shareholders will also try to water down mark zuckerberg's overriding voting power in order to tackle the pay gap between men and women at the company. zara nanu is chief executive of gapsquare — herfirm has created

software to analyse company pay — and she says this problem is far bigger than just facebook. the court is is a wider issue and it stems from the fact the technology sector has very few women in it, especially in the uk, around 20% —— of course it is a wider issue. elsewhere it is around 30 —ish but the problem is that the industry has few jobs the problem is that the industry has fewjobs tailored to women and a report shows that women are leading the sector and something needs to happen in order to make it more attractive for women. we also see more companies starting to and sand that diversity is good for business and technology development —— starting to understand. the more diverse they are the more diversity products they developed and more diverse the more —— markets and so

more companies are seeing the benefits of having more women and also we need a clear career progression and can make it from a developer role into the boardroom, and that is the path we help with. technology has a clear role to play because at the click of a button you can geta because at the click of a button you can get a clear view of what pay disparity looks like and you can get insights into how do address those quicker. staying with gender balance — a report published today listed some of the top excuses why women are not appointed to boards in the uk. here are a few. the uk's economic secretary to the treasury, john glen, reacted to the report a little earlier. some of those comments, i felt like i was reading a report from the 50s

or the 70s, they are outrageous comments and we have challenges to ove rco m e comments and we have challenges to overcome but i don't see any reason why men and women should be treated any differently at all come away just need to challenge some of the prejudices that exist —— differently at all, wejust prejudices that exist —— differently at all, we just need. we're prejudices that exist —— differently at all, wejust need. we're hoping to see significant changes in boardrooms up and down the country but it can't come soon enough. now — what do you do after creating history — well, in zinedene zidan's case — resign. he made the shock announcement that he was resigning as coach from real madrid. it took many by surprise. here's one spanish website that said the news has "hit the dressing room like a bomb". the surprise due in part because last saturday, they won the champions league, for an unprecedented, third time in a row. plenty of reaction on social media. here's a tweet from one football fan. here's zidane speaking a little earlier. translation: this team

needs to keep winning and for that it needs a change. after three years i feel this is the right decision and that is why i have taken it. it is a strange moment to make this decision but i feel it is right for everyone. 20 more stories coming up here. —— plenty more stories. stay with us. we have seen some very heavy rain across central and eastern parts of the united states, very warm moist

air has been travelling north generating these storm clouds and also there was a tropical storm which moved in, bringing heavy rain around the great lakes and into canada as we reach thursday and friday. further thunderstorms breaking out across eastern and south—eastern portions of the us bringing more travel disruption and the risk of fraud flashing. —— flood flashing. weather warnings in the south of the us, temperatures really building, you can see the deep red colours for texas. temperatures over 1:0 colours for texas. temperatures over a0 in places and it is tinder dry, as well, so the fire risk is exceptionally high. on a different note the onset of the south—west monsoon in south asia, pushing into the southern tip of india and towards sri lanka by thursday and friday, so heavy and prolonged rain. to the north, violent thunderstorms

again. warnings in the north and the north—west of india into pakistan, the pre—monsoon heat is extremely intense, temperatures not farfrom 50 celsius in a few places. most prized people are trying to cool down. —— moser prize. lots of sunshine for the next few days —— no surprise. very warm and humid with torrential downpours. torrential downpours in europe, as well, parts of france and towards the low countries, germany, switzerland, seeing extremely violent storms, erupting heavily especially in the daytime hours as the ground heats up. pretty warm temperatures around the low to mid—20s. in the sunshine even higher. homes and businesses have been flooded in parts of germany and france and this was the scene in germany 21 hours ago.

temperatures have been very high, we have had high pressure, but low pressure pushing in which has introduced humidity. the higher temperature have been across scandinavia, as well, norway saw record—breaking heat on wednesday with 33 celsius recorded. it looks like the temperatures will fall away slowly in the next few days across much of europe as high pressure moves in and we also see the back of that thundery low so things turning dry, as well, that is the theme for the next few days. boundary showers moving north and gradually easing, and it will turn drier and brighter —— thundery showers. hello, i'm karin giannone, this is outside source, and these are the main stories here in the bbc newsroom. are we seeing the start of a global trade war? the us hits its trading partners with tariffs on steel. canada responds in kind, and the eu's not happy either. it's totally u na cce pta ble

it's totally unacceptable that they are imposing unilateral measures when it comes to world trade. summit preparations continue, north korea's has been meeting the us secretary of state for a second time, in new york. and italy looks like it's got agreement on a new government, italy's president has given this man a chance to form government. every day outside source features bbcjournalists working in over 30 languages. your questions are always welcome. #bbcos is the hashtag. spain's prime minister looks like he's on the verge of being voted out of office. mariano rajoy faces a no—confidence motion tomorrow. his party's been fined more than a $250,000 by spain's high court for benefiting from bribes.

today in parliament support ebbed away from him, but he tried to hang on. translation: what are you offering that would improve the situation for a country that is enjoying growth, wherejobs are being created, and where a budget has just been passed ? when you planted this motion you only had one clear idea, it was a big idea, butjust one, the idea that sanchez would be prime minister. that much we can agree on. beyond that, it still to be seen. so you want to govern, but with whom, on what programme, and for how long? is this really what spain needs? is that what you offering to bring back strength and dignity of democracy? the socialist leader pedro sanchez is now almost certain to become prime minister tomorrow, here he is speaking in the debate. translation: are you ready to resign today, right here, right now? resigned mr rajoy,

and it'll all be over. a spokesman says rajoy won't resign and will stay on to contest the vote. gavin lee is in madrid. spain's prime minister looks set to be removed from office within the next 2a hours because in congress behind me, seven other political parties said they will vote against him ina parties said they will vote against him in a motion of no—confidence tomorrow. now here is the thing, for him to be gone in for his government to be removed, there needs to be 176 mps voting against him and as of this morning, there are 173, so it came toa this morning, there are 173, so it came to a kingmaker, potentially the small nationalist party. today they said they are five mps will vote against him. it's all down to a long—running corruption scandal known as the godel case, which involves more than one —— i dozen

ex—members of the governing party taking cash in exchange for giving out contracts. last week at the core, a judge said that they had created systemic levels and institutionalized corruption and even said that his testimony was questionable. so where did i put things today? well inside here, there will be a vote and it looks like it'll go against him and the socialist leader, pedro sanchez says he wants to be president and that i minister for short period until he wants to be president and that i ministerfor short period until he can call a snap election so at the moment, bear this in mind. mariano rajoy has survived a vote of no—confidence a year ago, but now his future looks more fragile than ever. in a few hours time the first match of the nba finals will take place between the golden state warriors and the cleveland cavaliers. the players will obviously be doing all they can to get themselves into the best physical and mental shape ahead of the big event., but could that include smoking cannabis? it seems surprising, but this is what former player david barnes told the bbc.

he said, "i would smoke cannabis six hours before a game. we'd have a shoot—around in the morning, i'd come home and smoke a joint, take a nap, shower, eat and go and play." and he's not the only one. in an interview with the bleacher report in april, former nba power forward kenyon martin estimated that around 85% of players smoked cannabis during his career. as you can see how from this map, huge swathes of the us have legalised the use of cannabis. in the areas shaded red, its legal for medicinal purposes, in the areas in blue its legal for recreational use too. and only in the areas shaded gray is cannabis completely illegal. but even if there are no legal issues, cannabis is still a banned substance under nba rules. well, we can speak now to the person who's been talking to all these nba players, louise gwilliam from bbc sport. what are the nba doing about it? over the last few weeks, spoke to

some players, using it recreationally and medicinally. a lot of these players live in states where it's lot of these players live in states where its legal as you said, and they still like it to be able to have the right to do it. the people watching them do it so they think they should too. it forms a part of their daily routine apparently, it's for pain management, they're playing multiple games on consecutive nights around the country, they feel like it allows them to get on court, but then after the game ours as we heard from before, they are using cannabis recreationally, they're smoking it to and glf, l', fwlilfiii f,

3" " that impacts her it. they negatively impacts her performance, another for me and it. they negatively impacts her performance, anotherfor me and be it. they negatively impacts her performance, another for me and be a player who played at golden state said he never had experiences of the players turning up high, but as we heard also, he smokes his six hours for game, so they seem to think it helps them go out there on the court every night. thank you louise. europeanjudges have ruled that lithuania and romania violated the rights of two al-qaeda terror suspects by allowing the cia to torture them, a decade ago. it rule the cia operated secret prisons, including in lithuania and romania. this is a photo released by the red cross of abu zubaydah. the court found that he was tortured for 18 months in cia prisions in romania. while zayn al—abidin muhammad husayn, we don't have a picture of him,

was mistreated in lithuania. both men were captured by the us after the september 11th attacks. they are still being held as terrorism suspects at guantanamo bay. neither have been charged. the existence of so—called cia "black sites" for interrogation was kept secret for many years after 9/11. both romania and lithuania officially insist that no secret cia detention centres ever existed on their territory. today's judgement makes it harder to maintain that denial. here's nick thorpe who was near one of the former cia detention centres, in eastern romania. the judgement of the european court of human rights is deeply embarrassing for romania. it establishes that despite more than a decade of denials, despite inconclusive parliamentary inquiry, despite a criminal investigation which began in 2012 and never reach a conclusion that the cia did run secret detention centres

on romanian territory. and that terror suspects were tortured here. the court ordered romania to conduct a full investigation and if necessary, to punish officials who knew this was going on. this happened at a period when romania was justjoining the nato alliance, and it's been said over the years that the americans may have been given a carte blanche in order to facilitate that process. it's also been a moot point about who actually knew about such activity on romanian territory. the former president and his secret service is at the time has said in media that interviews that they did not know the cia centres existed romania, but they didn't know they weren't interested in what went on there. the court has also asked romania to pay 100,000 euros in compensation to him for the pain he suffered, the injustice he suffered while on their territory. don't forget you can get much more

detail on our top stories on our web site. there is plenty of analysis on the trade war that's broken out amongst the major economies after president trump went ahead with tariffs on steel and aluminium, including this piece giving "five reasons why trade wars aren't easy to win". the taliban have held secret meetings with afghan officials to discuss a ceasefire, the us military says. america's military commander in afghanistan said quote "violence and progress can coexist, and that's what we're seeing." the talks, which the us is also involved in, are occurring at multiple levels and involve foreign governments and international organisations. but the taliban say this is a "false claim". for more on this i turned to sana safi. five of our colleagues, the bbc colleagues, were injured in that attack because they were driving close, they were driving

to work on a day. one of our colleagues, the driver, got killed in that attack. he left children and wife. i personally knew him. because i was there in 2016 and he was with us for a week. he drove us around the city, he was very careful, he would tell us to go there or don't stay for more than 20 minutes or make sure your back on time in the car because we can't be seen in this area or you know, watch out there are people coming along, or we don't want to have a crowd around us. so he was a very careful man, but that attack was one of the biggest compared to the 200a or 2002, this is one of the biggest attacks. because it happened close to the presidential palace, it shattered the windows of the palace. and everything that was around it. there is a family, or a number of families, are still awaiting for their loved ones

because they think some of them, the members of the families, are still missing. they don't know whether they are dead or injured, or where they are. did taliban same responsibility for that attack or was it now thought to be another organisation? that attack happened on ramadan, just like it's ramadan today, it happened on the fifth of ramadan. last year. and so because of the casualty numbers and because so many innocent families and people, civilians got killed, nobody took responsibility. but the afghan intelligence agencies blamed another network, one that is based in pakistan and pakistan is blamed for supporting them. they're quite brutal. when it comes to coming out at large scale attacks of their proven themselves, they have a capability to do and carry out such and such, so most to blame them for that.

she was talking about the attack that happened a year ago in the afg ha n that happened a year ago in the afghan capital of kabul. we can show you the tanker that the bomb was actually detonated inside that red tanker there, let's show you the aftermath there. as well as those killed at close to 500 people were injured in what was the deadliest attack to hit kabul since 2001. bbc pashto spoke to one man whose son is still missing. translation: are still hoping my sun might be alive, but ap is not and i am still around, might be alive, but ap is not and i am stillaround, i might be alive, but ap is not and i am still around, i will look after his orphans, this is destiny, what cani his orphans, this is destiny, what can i say. here's sana again on the

impact that attack had. they denied it because they don't wa nt to they denied it because they don't want to show they are weak, both sides want to the apparent in this whole game as they call it these days. perhaps there is a talk between the government and the taliban forces, but analysts believe there could be several groups or those trying to outbid each other, in order to reject its absurd conclusion or negotiation. but some other groups of the analysts, believe that those were serious, those were serious taliban commanders or does who really have a say in the decision—making, they probably don't have any sort of

process with the government to talk to them. they probably are not involved with the government in the secret talks. but there are theories that are confusing, but when you look at the author, a few months ago, he made them a comprehensive author. some believe he would give them a package, but he said you can come sit around the table and we can talk it we can even change the constitution, we can't recognise you asa constitution, we can't recognise you as a political party. so there may be something between the government and the international forces be something between the government and the internationalforces in afghanistan, but i don't think anyone would be willing to come forward and say it from the taliban side. just yet. there's been outcry in the us over the death of a transgender woman in us custody while seeking asylum. roxana hernandez was part of the so—called caravan of migrants which travelled from tapachula in mexico arriving in san diego a few weeks ago.

campaign groups released this statement claiming roxana was held for five days in what they call the "icebox", a holding cell with "extremely low temperatures". they say "roxy died in the country she had sought to start a new life in" "...a migrant who was treated neither with respect nor with dignity." she died from a cardiac arrest. us immigration says "comprehensive medical care is provided from the moment detainees arrive and throughout the entirety of their stay", including 2a—hour emergency care. this is the story on our website. let's speak to james cook who wrote it. what do we know about what actually happened to roxana hernandez? what we know is we heard from both sides essentially, we heard from the campaigners and we heard from immigration and customs enforcement agency. ice as it's known by the

acronym. they say that roxana was detained first of all and california where she crossed the border on the 9th of may. she was then transferred to mexico on the 15th of may in two days later was taken to hospital where she died on the 25th of may. according to ice, she was admitted to hospital with symptoms of pneumonia, dehydration, and publications associated with hiv, she was hiv—positive. but as you say, the campaigners for immigrant rights say she was left freezing cold and in very bad condition. sick and asking for a doctor and i request was ignored for five days while she was in that cell known as the icebox, which is the tories for migrants to come into the united states. a brightly lit space ace is freezing cold to. james, we know that most people we know most people in this so called caravan were from honduras, what was less widely known, is that

of 267 who sought asylum, 23 were transgender, why so many? they would say there were facing persecution in their homeland, not only honduras, but what a mile and el salvador, the south american countries. 23 of one to 67 migrants who the organisations which travelled with them can confirm who cross the border, 23 of them were transgender, and they say they face particular track —— brett in home countries from intolerance and violence and repression and that is why they say they were seeking asylum. now in the case of roxana, the us authorities say and insist they always provide detainees with appropriate medical care and insist they did so in this case, and they also say she was being processed for removal and expedited removal, from the united states because she had prior convictions having entered the country illegally they say

previously, and having occurred convictions in texas for that and prostitution. but clearly, the and is tragic and the campaigners will continue making their case. ice themselves admit that six detainees died over the last seven or eight months in their custody. thank you james. james r's articles on the bbc website. a series of kidnappings and murders in uganda have left the country in shock. according to police there have been more than forty reported kidnaps since the beginning of the year. most of the victims are women and children. catherine byaruhanga reports. another tragedy affecting some of uganda's poorest families. 18—year—old rose was kidnapped over 100 km away from here, and a capital where she worked. the decomposing body was found several days later.
