breaking news for you now about the migrants who are on board a ship in the mediterranean. they've been drifting, because italy and malta have refused to allow them to dock there. we're just hearing from reuters that the spanish prime minister's office is saying that spain will take in the migrant boat, called aquarius. italy has refused to ta ke called aquarius. italy has refused to take them in, refused to let them dockin to take them in, refused to let them dock in any italian ports. the new interior minister has vowed to crack down on the influx of migrants coming from africa, and said that malta should take them instead. walter has said no. but we are just hearing now that spain has said that they will accept the boat, which is carrying 629 people, among them are children. more now on our top story — the historic summit in singapore between us president donald trump and north korean leader kimjong—un.
1:38 pm
until this summit, there had been nearly 70 years of enmity between the two countries. david eades has been been looking at the extensive and sometimes disturbing images from the bbc film archive of this complex and hostile relationship, which began with a bitter and bloody war. gunfire. for a conflict pitching the us and the west against soviet forces and the chinese, never mind korean against korean, it's ironic this was labelled "the forgotten war". initially, the north flooded the south. allied reports masking a dreadfulfirst month. the united nations command has halted the north korean advance and is holding it on online around the perimeter of poussin. that triggered a us—led relentless air bombing to force the communist enemy back across the border.
1:39 pm
in three years of combat, more than 2 million deaths. many military, many more civilian. purges were carried out, massacres inflicted on and by both sides. more ordinance dropped on north korea in three years than was dropped on the entire east asian theatre of operations in world war ii. every urban centre flattened. the americans, in the eyes of the north koreans, are clearly the enemy. and the north koreans themselves, they see the conflict and the way they represent it to their own citizens, it was a north korean victory. in fact, it was a war neither won nor lost. nor officially finished. only an armistice. over the years, distrust has occasionally given way to hope. mr carter is supposedly here on a private visit... former president carter stepped in to north korea to build a deal in 199a. bill clinton visited 15 years later, seeking to improve relations. the result on both occasions, false dawns. don't forget also that north korea
1:40 pm
has a record of breaking agreements, of concealment. to put it bluntly, of cheating. but i would argue that the desire to make north korea great again will mean that kim jong—un will want to have that opportunity to find an opening, and that's why i think international leaders, including donald trump, would be wise to take that opportunity and develop it. since the korean war itself, of course, so much has changed. and yet the problem there has just festered. time and again, efforts to resolve it have come to nothing. one thing the archive does show us, though, through its absence, is any picture of a serving us president meeting a serving leader of the democratic people's republic of korea. as this summit approaches, we're entering uncharted, unpredictable territory. david eades, bbc news. an investigation by the victoria derbyshire programme has found some deaf people are missing key operations and receiving poor treatment for serious illnesses because of a lack of face—to—face interpreters. video interpreters are being used
1:41 pm
by some hospitals instead, but patients say that's not good enough, because the system can often crash and can be difficult to understand. anna collinson reports. anna collinson reporting. a department of health and social care spokesperson said: "it's unacceptable if deaf patients are not receiving the support they need to access nhs care. we expect trusts to make arrangements to accommodate their needs and we changed the law so that health and care providers are legally required to provide people with a disability or sensory loss with information that they can access and understand." nhs england says it's up to individual trusts to make a decision when to use video interpreters. in a moment, a summary of the business news this hour. but first, the headlines on bbc news: there's "excitement in the air" in singapore, according to president trump, who has arrived in the country ahead of talks with the north korean leader. spain says it will accept a rescue boat with more than 600 migrants on board. the vessel had been stranded in the mediterranean after italy and malta refused to allow it to dock. and more than 5,000 jobs are at risk
1:42 pm
as discount retailer poundworld calls in the administrators. hello, this is the business. as you've been hearing on bbc news... retailer poundworld is in administration after rescue talks failed to find a buyer. poundworld has 355 stores, serving two million customers a week. the move puts 5,100 jobs at risk. and some train companies are not paying compensation to passengers when train services are delayed or cancelled. the consumer group which says passengers are entitled to claim if the last train of the night is cancelled and they have to get a taxi instead, but found 12 out of 26 rail firms gave incorrect or inconsistent advice. the latest figures on the performance of the economy show a sharp decline in manufacturing output.
1:43 pm
in the second quarter of the year, output was down by 1.a% month—on—month. that's the steepest decline in six years. the office for national statistics says international demand had weakened, and construction orders also fell off after april. (stab + cam 5) and our top story this today: british retailer poundworld has gone into administration after the failure of rescue talks. it puts more than 5,000 jobs at risk. but why? well, the firm has been losing money for the past two years. losses for the financial year 2016—17 were £17.1 million, up from £5.am the year. it's the latest high street casualty this year. so far, more than 20,000 jobs are going or are on the line as big names struggle. our business correspondent, emma simpson, has more. stack it high and sell
1:44 pm
it for a pound. it has been a winning formula. chains like this one soared in popularity since the recession. but even the discount end of retail is not immune from the problems gripping this industry. poundworld collapsed this morning. i am disappointed. i get a lot of little bits and bobs in their. —— in there. and i love it. really sad to see it go because we have got nothing else town here. no, everything is going. we've got no shops at all, have we? no. the problem is in the title. poundworld buys most of its goods in dollars. so, with the weaker pound, it has been costing them a lot more to fill the shelves. and with its business model, those costs can't easily be passed onto shoppers. here's the man who started it all — chris edwards, who went from a market stall to more than 300 shops. but he sold poundworld to an
1:45 pm
investment company three years ago. he wasn't the only one to check out. the co—founder of 99p stores sold his business that year as well. i think the writing was pretty much on the wall, and that is what we saw coming, which is why we sold out when we did. what went wrong with poundworld is i think systematic in a way of what is going on on the high street at the moment. there are rising costs on all fronts, whether that is business rates, whether its utilities, minimum wage, rents... and the pound, the single price point model, simply wasn't sustainable. poundworld struggled in an increasingly competitive market. discount stores have a role to play, every consumer likes a bargain. but as with all retail, it requires careful management. and you need to keep a close eye on the retail brand. it's not an easy route just because you're a discount retailer. you need to pay as much attention to the retail proposition as you would if you were at the higher end of the market.
1:46 pm
the administrators believe a buyer can still be found for this chain, or at least part of it. it's business as usual for now, but today's news leaves another 5000 shop workers with an uncertain future. emma simpson, bbc news. in other news... it's been a grim few days for the uk's high streets, with house of fraser announcing the closure of 31 stores last week, and discount retailer poundworld now in administration. but the latest figures from retail sector specialists springboard provides a glimmer of hope that trends might be improving. 0verall, footfall in may was down 0.a% from a year earlier, although this was a marked improvement from march's 6% decline and april's fall of 3.3%. the uk's trade deficit widened in april, according to the latest figures from the office for national statistics. the deficit in goods and services — that's the difference between how much we import and how much we export — grew to nearly £5.3 billion.
1:47 pm
that's up from £3.2 billion in march. shareholders in online grocer 0cado have had much to smile about recently. a series of deals to supply its technology to retailers overseas — most notably with us retail giant kroger — have pushed its share price up by more than 150% this year. and the shares have received a further boost today. a double upgrade to "outperform" from analysts at bernstein has pushed the share price up another 6.3%. let's ta ke let's take a look at accardo's share price and what it's doing right now. it is up nearly 6.5%. shares in london are up generally, led mainly by export orientated firms after disappointing uk factory data that we have been talking about hit the pound. that's all the business. sophie, back to you. marion, thank you. some more breaking news.
