welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. i'm mike embley. our top stories: paul manafort, former campaign manager for donald trump, is accused of trying to tamper with potential witnesses. at least 65 are killed, dozens missing and millions affected as a volcano erupts in guatemala. the flows are so rapid people are buried before they can run. jordan's prime minister resigns amid protests against high food and fuel prices and plans to raise taxes. the former north korean spies hoping next week's singapore summit will allow them to go home. some have spent decades in jail in the south. hello and this news breaking in the

last few hours. the us special counsel, robert mueller, has accused president trump's former campaign manager, paul manafort, of trying to tamper with potential witnesses, and applied to have him ta ken into custody. mr mueller is looking into allegations that some in mr trump's presidential campaign colluded with russia, but this accusation relates to a tax and lobbying case against paul manafort. earlier, i spoke to our correspondent peter bowes in los angeles and i pointed out that paul manafort is free at the moment, but mr mueller would like him taken into custody. yes. he has been free ever since he was charged, pending his trial on those very serious allegations. but now it has emerged that apparently the fbi has documents that state that two people, two potential witnesses, say that they were approached by mr manafort and that he allegedly used his cellphone, encrypted messages to get in touch with these people, potential witnesses, essentially to influence

what they were likely say at trial about him relating to these charges. and as you say, this is likely, it's quite possible that a court will now take two courses of action, either review the conditions and perhaps make those conditions more stringent, that he continue to be free, essentially on bail before his trial, or essentially revoke his freedom completely, in which case he would go to jail pending his trial. paul manafort‘s charged with conspiring to defraud the us in dealings with ukraine, also conspiracy to launder money, and submitting false information to obtain a mortgage. mr mueller, of course, looking into allegations that some in the trump campaign conspired with russia to get mr trump elected. these two not officially connected, but there is a suspicion that a lot of the case against mr manafort is to try to get him to give evidence perhaps against mr trump, certainly against others

in the trump campaign. yes, that's right. these charges specifically don't relate to activity related to the campaign, and he was the campaign manager during the 2016 election. he was employed in the march of that year. essentially his job was to run the convention, the republican convention, that year. in fact, donald trump has been at pains in recent weeks to distance himself from paul manafort, stressing that he was only with the campaign for a short period of time and that he was not aware of the fbi investigation against him going back several years. clearly very serious charges. he is the most senior person related to the donald trump election campaign to face charges of this nature and, as we now know, there are other people as well. guatemala's deadliest volcanic eruption in more than a century has left at least 62

people dead and dozens more missing. the volcano known as fuego, which means simply fire, erupted for more than 16 hours on sunday. on monday again it sent a torrent of superheated rock, ash and mud speeding down its slopes at up to iookph. the volcano is about aokm south—west of the capital, guatemala city. from there, aleem maqbool reports. as spectacular and dramatic as it was destructive and deadly. in its most violent eruption in decades, the volcan de fuego, volcano of fire, exploded in a massive shower of molten rock and ash. the plumes rose several miles into the air. in one village, fascination with what was going on quickly turned to terror, as hot ash shot towards onlookers. fast—moving rivers of burning mud and debris spread chaos. in the panic, family members were split up, children separated from their parents, and many are still missing. translation: i only managed to find

two children alive last night. my two daughters, grandson and my son are missing, together with my entire family. and entire villages were blanketed in a suffocating layer of hot ash. it is clear many stood little chance of getting away. those who did have been left shell—shocked. next to bodies of people who died in the village of el rodeo, an elderly man sits. "look at the state i'm in," he says. recovery workers continue to look for survivors or for more bodies, but they do that in the shadow of a volcano that could erupt again at any time. translation: the challenge we've faced is that the volcano has been active, and also the difficulty of working with this kind of material, which is extremely hot. many rescuers reported their shoes

melted into the ground as they worked. three days of mourning have been declared for all those who have bene killed, those whose bodies have been recovered, and those who have yet to be found. but all the time, there's still this sense, this fear, that more is yet to come. there have been subsequent explosions, and there's even been an earthquake just off guatemala in recent hours, as well, and that's why peopel are still reeling from that huge, major eruption. this was always known to be an active volcano, but an eruption as big as this, that has claimed so many lives, was beyond living memory. now, a new generation knows the horrors of what the volcano of fire can bring. aleem maqbool, bbc news, in guatemala. the catalogue of problems which led to grenfell tower in west london being rapidly engulfed in flames has been revealed at the official start of the public inquiry. one official report says the firefighters‘ policy of telling people to stay in their homes effectively failed.

another says the tower‘s cladding didn't meet building regulations and was incorrectly installed. 72 people died in the blaze. lucy manning's report contains images from the night shown at the inquiry. you may find some distressing. asleep in the safety of their homes, but this building was a deathtrap, a majorfire hazard. devastating details revealed to the inquiry how grenfell was covered in material that would burn easily, that wasn't properly tested, and how, once covered in flames, the fire brigade's strategy telling residents to stay in theirflats failed. the burnt—out kitchen of flat i6 on the fourth floor, where the fire started, and then spread. the 999 call from the resident who escaped from here, heard for the first time. videos played to the inquiry showed

just how quickly the fire spread up and across. at first, it is just on the fourth floor. 20 minutes after the 999 call, it is up the side of the building. my yard, that's my yard. it's in my yard. half an hour after it started, it reached the top of the tower, when the inquiry‘s experts said the fire brigade's "stay put" advice failed. the fundamental question which lies at the heart of our work is how, in london, in 2017, a domestic fire developed so quickly and so catastrophically that an entire high—rise block was engulfed.

the inquiry‘s experts found the main cause of the fire spreading was the cladding, which was flammable and hadn't been properly tested. new windows had been installed, also made of material that burnt easily, and new fire doors had been put in that weren't fire—compliant. the bereaved have told the inquiry many more would have survived if the fire brigade hadn't told families to stay in their flats for so long. the inquiry‘s report said this stay—put advice effectively failed at 1:26am in the morning, but it continued even though a major incident was declared at 2:06am. the advice to stay put was eventually dropped at 2:47am, nearly two hours into the fire. it's clear to see that at 1:14am that the building is done. it's clearly spreading fast, the fire is uncontrollable, people need to get out. we have to ask the tough question, why was it that the "stay put" policy

was not changed 7 71 people did not make it out, and the inquiry says it would need to examine whether the failure to change that advice made all the difference between life and death. lucy manning, bbc news. people injordan have taken to the streets for a fifth consecutive night in the biggest protests the country has seen for years. there were scuffles between police and demonstrators, who are angry about planned austerity measures. the draft bill to increase income tax has sparked the wave of unrest in a traditionally stable part of the arab world. our correspondent mark lowen covered the protests and sent this report. if the jordanian government thought that the resignation of the prime minister would extinguish these protests, well, this is their answer. for yet another night in central amman, the protesters have gathered. demonstrators have tried to break through the police lines. there have been scuffles, on the whole peaceful,

but a lot of anger at the austerity measures this government is pursuing. there are some celebrations here that a prime minister who was deeply unpopular has been forced out. but they feel that what's needed here is not a change of personnel but of policy, austerity policies that they say have hit the poorest hardest. every other week they do something new. they raise the prices, they raise the prices of electricity, or the petrol, or anything. it's very unjust for the people. we have one of the highest numbers of syrian refugees, in a country that barely has... doesn't have much resources to sort of accommodate these huge numbers, and we need aid in order to provide the necessary services. they say that it is the fundamental economic inequality injordan that needs to change, and unless that happens, these protests, the biggestjordan has seen in several years, will continue to grow. mark lowen in aman.

state media in iran are saying the country is going to inform the united nations nuclear agency it is beginning the process of increasing its uranium enrichment capacity, this in the wake of president trump's decision to pull out of the international deal designed to limit iran's nuclear programme. iran's supreme leader outlined what will happen if the nuclear deal falls apart completely. translation: i've ordered iran's atomic energy agency to prepare to increase uranium enrichment in the framework of the iran nuclear deal, and for preliminary preparations to be ready as soon as possible. once the president has made the order it can be started from tomorrow. he also warned european leaders iran would not tolerate being forced to limit its nuclear programme, if it has to deal with american sanctions

at the same time. translation: some europeans are talking about both iran coping with the sanctions and limiting our defensive missile programme, which is essential for the future of the country. i'm telling these european governments that this dream will never come true. stay with us on bbc news. still to come: we meet kayla mcewen, washington's first lobbyist with down syndrome. she is in the corridors of power, trying to improve the lives of others. the queen and her husband began their royal progress to westminster. the moment of crowning in accordance with the order of service, by a signal given, the great guns of the tower shall be shot off. tributes have been paid around the world to muhammad ali, who has died at the age of 7a. outspoken but rarely outfought, ali transcended the sport of boxing, of which he was three times world champion. he was a good fighter and he fought

about next week's summit between president trump and north korea's kimjong—un. the white house says it will start at 9:00am in singapore on tuesday 12 june. and, for a group of north korean spies living in the south, the encounter could have a very personal impact, as laura bicker reports. north korean spies were hunted down in the south. their capture on enemy soil made tv headlines. a warning to others who wished to follow. many came by boat to promote the north's ideology. kim young—sik was one of them. he was a radio engineer on a north korean spy ship, and now, after three decades in a south koreanjail, he wants to go home to a family he hasn't seen since 1962. translation: i was very young,

and i was very much in love with my family in north korea. we were inseparable, and had a lot of fun. but, despite all that, i came to the south because my country was suffering. prison life was really hard. why? in south korea's society, you needed to convert your ideology, but since i said i would not, they tortured me for any small reason. he hopes the current talks will result in him going home, but he does not trust the us as he believes they are responsible for dividing the two koreas. translation: when you see people go on tv and talk about denuclearisation — talk about denuclearisation? pfft, the foreigners came and divided us and made us fight each other. that's why we created nukes. if they were nice to us, and helped us, why would we create nukes? yang soon—gil says he wasn't a spy, but was jailed for over 30 years anyway. he now has a wife and family

in south korea, and yet he still wants to return to pyongyang. translation: i discussed with my family, and i told i want to go back. she said, "please go." when good days come, we will meet again." you may say i am brainwashed by socialism, but i am a voluntary communist, having built my conviction injail. it is this kind of conviction which worries right—wing nationalists in south korea. they protest every week in seoul, concerned that the north's aim is to unify both koreas under one ruler and one communist idealogy. can you have freedom like this, what we have enjoyed? are the people in north korea happy, as we are? north korea is the worst dictatorship in the world.

such kind of dictatorism cannot keep their promise. in truth, most south koreans simply want peace, but not one that comes at a cost. over the last 70 years, south koreans have overcome a military dictatorship, become a democracy, and created an economic miracle. even if they do manage to get rid of the barbed wire at the border, overcoming the social and ideological differences between the two koreas might be far harder. laura bicker, bbc news, seoul. a teenagerfrom london has become the youngest woman in the uk convicted of planning a terror attack for the extremist group that calls itself islamic state. safaa boular was 17 when she was arrested. she was part of britain's first all—woman cell, along with her sister and mother. they were planning two separate attacks. shots fired

this was when armed officers moved in on the uk's first all—female terror cell. firing cs gas canisters into a flat in north—west london. in the mayhem, one of the women, rizlaine boular, was shot by police. she had been hours away from causing carnage on the streets of london. also detained was her mother, mina dich. her younger sister safaa had already been arrested for planning her own separate attack. we believe that they were going to attack members of the public at random, using knives, with a view to inflicting injury or certainly killing individuals. so we intervened, at an early stage, with a view to frustrating that terrorist plot. mina dich with her daughters when they were growing up, rizlaine at the back, safaa at the front. all three went on to embrace violent extremism and, by the age of 16, safaa boular was trying to marry an is fighter in syria.

she had never met navid hussain. theirs was an online relationship. when he was killed, she was distraught. the couple had talked about how safaa boular could carry out an attack here in the area around the british museum, in central london. they discussed an ambush involving guns or grenades, and using a car and a knife. safaa boular was arrested, but she then encouraged her sister to carry out her own attack. in court, safaa boular wore western clothing, and during her trial, she said she now rejected islamist extremism. the jury heard a recording of a phone call she made from prison to her sister, who was on the outside. during that conversation, her sister rizlaine spoke of her plans to hold a "mad hatter‘s tea party", which the prosecution said was code for a terror attack. safaa boular disappointed

that she couldn'tjoin in. the following evening, rizlaine was being driven around westminster by their mother, scouting targets. mother and daughter then went on a shopping trip to sainsbury‘s to buy knives for their attack. they paid for them with the rest of their shopping. it was the daughter, rizlaine, that was going to be the killer. the women were arrested the next day. zach tye was at school with rizlaine boular. rizlaine was a very outgoing person. she was lovely to talk to, all the time, always smiling, very, you know, very intelligent, i would say, and all—round just a regular teenager. it's just strange to hear that in her adulthood, she became such a monster, i guess.

she and her mother, mina dich, had already pleaded guilty to terrorism charges. today, her sister safaa, the youngest member of this family terror cell, was convicted by a jury. all three women will be sentenced later. june kelly, bbc news. the life of a woman with terminal breast cancer has been saved by a pioneering new therapy. judy perkins had been given three months to live, but two years later, there is no sign of cancer in her body. american researchers say it involved pumping 90 billion cancer—killing immune cells into her body. the team at the us national cancer institute says the therapy is still experimental, but could transform the treatment of all cancer. we are joined by dr ben creelan, an immunotherapy expert. thank you very much for your time. this, i understand, was someone with spreading breast cancer, secondary

tumours throughout her body, yet she appears to be completely cured. what do you think about, and what hope for other cancer sufferers?” do you think about, and what hope for other cancer sufferers? i think this is very promising for a lot of different types of cancer. this group treated patients with melanoma with this similar product, dating back to 1987, and many of these patients are still in remission today with stage four cancer. and this is described as a living drug made from the patient‘s bone cells. can you tell us more about that? that's exactly right. so patients' tumours are actually resected and infiltrating lymphocytes are grown out of those tumours and then selected using a sophisticated process for reactivity for what are called neo antigens in the tumour. then they are infused back into the patient after an expansion process, being grown in media. so do you have

any doubt that this is a breakthrough, and what hope do you think it gives other cancer sufferers? we have always known that it had a big role in melanoma. now we are seeing that it is applicable for other cancers, with the addition of these immune checkpoint inhibitors. and so yes, we have trials going on in lung cancer, head and neck cancer, breast—cancer, cancer is like ovarian cancers. it is very promising. how soon do you think it might have an impact on many, think it might have an impact on any think it might have an impact on many, many sufferers? well, we already have phase two registration trials open and active in the united states. and if those trials are positive, that will lead to fda approvalfor positive, that will lead to fda approval for these therapies for all patients. thank you, lets hope. doctors say the liverpool goalkeeper loris karius sustained a concussion during last month's

champions league final defeat by real madrid. he was blamed for two of the goals in the 3—1 loss. medical experts can't say for sure when the injury was sustained, but believe it would have had an immediate effect on his performance. an early vincent van gogh painting has sold at auction. the picture shows women working on the land. it is the first van gogh —— auctioned in many years. and you can get in touch with me and most of the team on twitter. i'm @bbcmikeembley. good morning.

the best of the sunshine on monday was out to the west, particular south—west wales. but for most of us it was a pretty grey, cloudy start to our new working week, wasn't it? in fact, this weather watcher's picture sums it up quite nicely, the cloud thick enough for the odd spot or two of drizzle. we start like that for many today, but fingers crossed conditions will improve later on. now, it's a very quiet weather story right throughout the week across the uk, with high pressure sitting up into the north, and this north—easterly flow. now, that's responsible for driving in this cloud through the night, and it makes for a pretty grey, murky start. but, as we go through the day, it does look as though the cloud will start to thin and break and push its way down into south wales and south—west england. here, it could stay a little disappointing, but with more sunshine coming through, temperatures will peak perhaps at around 20 degrees. not as warm as it has been,

but nevertheless pleasant in the sun. now, as we move through tuesday night into wednesday morning, we see more cloud spilling in off north sea coasts. elsewhere, we will have some clearer skies and a slightly cooler night. a little more comfortable for those trying to sleep in, with single figures pretty much for most of us. so we start off on wednesday, then, on a slightly fresher note. still some grey, low cloud spilling in off north sea coasts, but on wednesday we have a greater chance of seeing more sunshine coming through. so after that cooler start, temperatures will respond, with more sun, and highs likely at 23 degrees in the south—east, and maybe in sheltered eastern areas of scotland, temperatures will be in the low 20s as well. but, as we move into wednesday night through thursday morning, there's a risk of the potential for some thundery downpours pushing up through the channel, so we'll need to keep a close eye on that. they'll still be lingering, potentially, first thing on thursday morning. the further north you go, we'll have some decent spells of sunshine, and just a little bit of cloud just spilling in off the north sea. if that happens, temperatures 16—18

degrees, the highest values likely of 22 degrees, that's 72 fahrenheit. the high pressure still stays with us, the isobars widely spaced, which means light winds and not much change in the weather pattern as we move towards the end of the working week. so, again, we start off with cloudy conditions first thing in the morning. the cloud should break up, we'll see some sunshine coming through, but always the risk, potentially down to the south, of a few sharp, possibly thundery showers developing. highs likely of 15—22 degrees, and not much change as we move into the weekend. it stays predominantly dry, with some sunshine, always the chance of seeing one or two showers, perhaps, into the south—east corner. that's it, take care. this is bbc news, the headlines: a us court has been told that paul manafort, the former campaign manager for donald trump, attempted to tamper with potential witnesses. it's alleged that mr manafort called, sent text messages and encrypted messages to two people to influence their testimony and to otherwise conceal evidence.

the deadliest volcanic eruption in more than a century has left at least 65 people dead and many more are missing in guatemala. it came after the volcano known as fuego, or fire, erupted for more than 16 hours on sunday. the volcano is just a few kilometres from the capital, guatemala city. protestors injordan say they will continueto demonstrate despite the resignation of the prime minister. they want plans to increase prices and raise taxes to be scrapped, thejordanian foreign minister has promised to respect their demands. now on bbc news, time for hardtalk.
