i'm rico hizon in singapore, the headlines — president trump under fire for his zero tolerance immigration policy that's seen thousands of children separated from their parents. yes! joy for england as their world cup campaign kicks off with a win against tunisia. i'm kasia madera in london. also in the programme — the boss of audi is arrested in germany over the diesel emissions scandal. one of the world's largest orangutan populations is under threat because their habitat is being burnt in indonesia. it's 8am in singapore and 1am in london.

pictures of children being held in cages along the us—mexican border have been shocking many people around the world. some 2000 children, as young as 2 years old, have been separated from their parents in recent weeks as they tried to cross into the united states illegally. all this is the result of a white house policy to try to deter illegal immigration known as zero—tolerance. president trump blames the opposition democrats for splitting up families, but insists america will not become a migrant camp. nick bryant reports. children held in what look like cages. the trump administration's zero tolerance immigration policy being put into action at this detention centre in texas. it's notjust the much wanted border wall that the administration hopes

will act as a deterrent to those who cross the mexican border illegally, but also this wire mesh fencing. la perrera, the detainees are calling it, the dog kennel. and in these dusty facilities, the trump administration isn'tjust detaining children but separating them from their parents. nearly 2000 have been taken away from their mothers and fathers this man was separated from his teenage son. translation: it was hard, the ha rd est translation: it was hard, the hardest day from me. i thought i was going to lose my son. this photo of a two—year—old girl from honduras crying as us border patrol officers searched her mother have crystallised complaints. they have come from the firmer —— that former first lady laura bush who says it is cool first lady laura bush who says it is cool, in moral and breaks her heart.

remarkably, the president first lady's offers also issued a statement. but her husband's hardline stance on immigration was a key reason why he now occupies the white house and defended the crackdown. the united states will not be a migrant camp and it will not be a refugee holding facility. it won't be. you look at what's happening in europe, you look at what's happening in other places, we can't allow that to happen to the united states, not on my watch. in a series of tweets that will place even further strain on the transatlantic alliance, donald trump has taken aim at angela merkel‘s germany, claiming the influx of immigrants has caused political instability and a spike in crime. that last claim is false, the german crime rate is at its lowest in 30 years. critics of the president claim he was trying to distract attention

from what's happening in these detention centres. this one, a converted walmart store near the mexican border. he's also been accused of using the detained children as bargaining chips to get congressional funding from democrats for the border wall. the zero tolerance policy means zero humanity and makes zero sense. these are the most searing images of the trump presidency so far. children crying. and we have heard some of the most searing sounds. released by a us news organisation and said to be audio of children crying who have been separated from their parents. this policy is intended to protect american borders but is it demolishing american ideals? nick bryant, bbc news, washington. let's take a look at some of the day's other news. the south korean defence ministry has confirmed that an agreement has

been reached with the united states to suspend joint military exercises due to take place in august. president trump appeared to take south korea by surprise last week when he announced the end of what he called "war games", after his summit with the north korean leader, kim jong—un. a statement from seoul said no decision had been made on otherjoint exercises. here's the white house press secretary sarah sanders had to say a short time ago. those conversations are ongoing and at this point, as long as the north koreans continue to act in good faith as we saw in singapore, then we expect those things to be on policy. and the us secretary of state mike pompeo says he would likely travel back to north korea "before too terribly long" to try to flesh out commitments made at that landmark summit between president trump and kimjong un in singapore last week. the number of people displaced by conflict has reached the highest level ever recorded,

for the fifth year running. a united nations report says that by the end of 2017, 68.5 million people worldwide were either refugees, asylum seekers, or internally displaced. people in western japan are continuing to clear up after the area around osaka was hit by a powerful earthquake on monday. thousands of homes are still without gas or water after the 6.1 magnitude quake. three people are known to have died, including a 9—year old girl. the canadian parliament had passed a bill that would make canada the first major industrial country to legalize marijuana. the legislation still needs to pass the senate, which can delay, but not block it. take a look at this extraordinary aerial footage of lava flowing from the kilauea volcano in hawaii. it was released by the us national guard. mount kilauea began erupting around six weeks ago,

destroying hundreds of homes. since kilauea began erupting several weeks ago, a new coastline has been created, dozens of metres further into the sea. the chief executive of german carmaker audi, rupert stadler, has been arrested in connection with an investigation into the diesel emissions scandal. german prosecutors say they took mr stadler into custody to prevent him from tampering with evidence. the bbc‘s damien mcguinness has more. rupert stadler is the highest ranking official in the vw group to be detained for questioning. this marks a new level of the whole diesel emissions scandal.

vw as a whole have sold and admitted to having sold 11 million vehicles fitted with so—called cheating software, the software that made cars seem a cleaner in testing than they were in reality when sent out on the road. the allegations around rupert stadler who is ceo of audi, one of the brands within the vw group, revolved around an e—mail back in 2015. this e—mail allegedly proves that mr stadler may have known about the cheating software and still let the cars be manufactured and sold. if this is true, that would be fraud and charges could well be made. right now, though, mr stadler is still nowjust being questioned and the rest of the vw group are in crisis talks. on the one hand, they're trying to sort out the leadership in general and trying to figure out where to go next at this next stage of the whole diesel emissions crisis. also, though, to find an interim leader, a backup boss who can step in that while mr stadler is being investigated. the world cup is continuing to provide football fans with drama.

day five saw england beat tunisia in a nail biting 2—1 win. both england goals thanks to captain harry kane. also in group g belgium took on panama, beating them 3—0. and in group f, south korea lost to sweden 1—0. earlier i got the latest from our sports correspondent olly foster in moscow. day five had sort of passed without incident here in russia. we had an extraordinary weekend with all those upsets, germany, argentina and brazil all falling at the first hurdle or slipping up. so yes, all eyes were on volgograd. england, gareth southgate's young team, a new captain, harry kane, in his first world cup. and they started absolutely brilliantly. their slick play, and they got the goal, harry kane tapping it in. but then they kind of unravelled

and gave away a soft penalty which tunisia converted. it was 1—1 at half—time and it looked as though it would be that at full—time but you just cannot keep a good man down. harry kane was found unmarked again in the box from a set piece and he just headed in the winner in the 92nd minute. he was absolutely swamped by his teammates. such an important win because in the other group game, you mentioned it, the belgians who have this vast mix of individual talents, they have never quite done it together as a team. it was 0—0 against world cup debuta ntes panama. this match was being played in sochi. there must have been some kind of half—time team talk from roberto martinez and it really got them up. they won 3—0 in the end. romelu lukaku, the manchester united striker, he scored a couple of good goals. dries mertens got them going, a wonderful volley inside the box. england and belgium are top of group g now. and if they both win their next

matches, it might be a dead rubber when they meet each other at the end. group f with south korea and sweden, we saw the new video system in action for the first time? we've seen it in a few times actually. the video system referee giving penalties when the referee doesn't spot something. that was about the only talking point from this match. it was an awful, awful game. sweden probably deserved the win just from that one var penalty. south korea have been in every world cup since 1986, but they didn't get a single shot on target and they are going to really struggle, unless they up their game, to get out of that group. also in that group is mexico and germany. germany will look to bounce back. they have sweden next. mexico flying high. they will have south korea. so that group, not so wide open. sweden and mexico sitting very pretty indeed.

ijust i just have to ijust have to go back. go, england! go, harry kane! of law was let out in the studio when that goal was kicked. ——a roar. in the studio when that goal was kicked. --a roar. apart from that match, i looking forward to the game of poland versus senegal. iron betting that poland and england will betting that poland and england will be meeting in the world cup finals. ——i am acting. be meeting in the world cup finals. --i am acting. i am not making any predictions. loads of followers have been saying it can happen on twitter. no predictions from my end. somebody predicting the future is mystic marcus. a micro pig, a kid you not. it is on our website. that

little pig is choosing belgium amongst some of the countries to get through to the semifinals.” amongst some of the countries to get through to the semifinals. i hope one of the asian countries will make it to the quarter—finals or the semifinals, maybe korea orjapan or iran. they are representing asia. we are also pinning our hopes on the asian countries. good luck to all the teams in the world cup. we still have another three weeks to go before the world cup finals. you're watching newsday on the bbc. still to come on the programme — one of the world's largest orangutan populations is under threat, according to conservationists in indonesia — we'll be finding out why. there was a bomb in the city centre. a code word known to be one used by the ira was given. army bomb experts were examining a suspect van when there was a huge explosion. the south african parliament has destroyed the foundation of apartheid by abolishing the population registration act,

of president trump's zero—tolerance immigration policy, that has seen thousands of children separated from their parents. a bump in the road for carmaker audi, as the company's boss is suspended after being detained over the diesel emissions scandal. let's take a look at some front pages from around the world. the japan times headlines with monday's earthquake in osaka, that killed at least three people. it has a report on warnings of possible aftershocks, with experts saying the quake could be a sign that greater seismic activity is due in the west of the country. dubai's gulf news says the united arab emirates is to offer one—year residency visas to residents of countries affected by wars and natural disasters. it is said the visas will be available to apply for from august to the end of october. and britain's financial times looks

at the ongoing tensions between president trump and germany's chancellor merkel. it reports on president trump accusing merkel of allowing immigrants to violently change germany's culture, this as merkel is under pressure in germany for taking in hundreds of thousands of immigrants. now, what stories are sparking discussions online? one of the most—watched videos on our website gives a stark lesson to all of us who take risks when taking a selfie. this extraordinary footage shows a selfie almost going very horribly wrong. this is sanjay dutta, from west bengal. he was called in by villagers who saw this 5.5—metre—long python swallowing a goat. mr dutta rescued the goat, but then went one further by posing for photos with the python wrapped around its neck.

he was almost strangled, but managed to escape. there is a warning there, rico. the catholic archbishop of adelaide will be sentenced after being found guilty of concealing child abuse by a priest. philip wilson arrived at the courthouse a short while ago. he is the most senior catholic figure in the world to be convicted of covering up sexual assaults by clergy. it relates to child abuse by a priest that dates back to the 19705. the bbc‘s hywel griffith is in the city of newcastle, on australia's east coast. he says the archbishop could face a jail sentence of up to two years. we will find out what sentence he's given within the next few hours.

but last month, philip wilson was convicted of this after a long legal process, and convicted of covering up events that occurred in the 19705. then he was a parish priest in east maitland, not farfrom here. young victims turned to him to report the actions of paedophile priests, but for decades he did nothing, and is 110w the most senior figure in the world to ever be convicted of concealing abuse. so hywel, what does the archbishop have to say about this conviction? well, in his defence, he said that he hadn't been told by the victims. he denies he broke the law. but since his conviction, he sent a letter out to children and parents in the archdiocese of adelaide to say that he would step aside from his position, but not resign until it was necessarily appropriate. so he is holding on to his position as the archbishop, and it's possible that he

could launch an appeal against his conviction. we will be due to learn more later. a forest believed to be home to one of the largest populations of critically endangered orangutans is under threat in indonesia. a timber plantation run by indonesian company pt moharison, with investment from china and canada, has been accused of breaking indonesia's new environmental laws on peat land protection. rebecca henschke investigates. a canal cuts deep into the dense peatland forests. environmentalists say the area is a key habitat for endangered orangutans. we are going to lose one of the largest and one of the most important orangutan populations that we have left. we travel by boat into the forest, one of the last remaining lowland peat swamps in borneo. this forest is deep peatland, giant carbon sinks that help control our climate. when they're cleared and drained,

they easily burn, releasing that carbon into the atmosphere. in an effort to stop the annual peatland fires that rage across kalimantan, covering the region in a toxic haze, in 2015 presidentjoko widodo declared a moratorium on the conversion of deep peat forests, even within existing concessions like this one, which was granted in 2008 before the new laws were introduced. and in april last year, in documents seen by the bbc, the environment ministry handed out sanctions. the government told the company to fill in this canal, saying that there would be no compromise in terms of protecting peatland like this. but, as you can see, the canal is still here. there is heavy building equipment. and, when we came earlier

in the day, we saw workers from the company pt moharison on site. you can see an excavator here... injakarta, we showed our discovery to the director—general at the ministry of environment. and this is the forest. virgin forest. virgin forest, and this is the canal. what should happen to forests like this? translation: the forest is still intact, and under law, it is now protected forest. it must be conserved. it cannot be touched. pt moharison insists they have complied with all the government sanctions by damming the canals, and they say the workers we saw were making a storage room. translation: we had a licence to dig that canal. suddenly, new regulations come in, and we are forced to stop and close it all down. it's devastating for the company, after we have already invested so much. environmentalists say what happens next will reveal how serious

the government is about protecting its remaining biodiversity. meghan markle's father has given an interview in which he shares insights into the royal couple's relationship and their wedding. thomas markle said he was sure meghan cried when he told her he could not attend the ceremony, and despite having not met prince harry face to face, he revealed they had had conversations about politics, including donald trump's presidency, and brexit. our royal correspondent nicholas witchell reports. she was the bride who memorably walked up the aisle without her father. thomas markle pulled out of meghan‘s wedding. health problems were given as the reason for his absence. his place was taken part of the way

by the prince of wales. now, in an interview on itv‘s good morning britain, mr markle has expressed his gratitude. i can't think of a better replacement than someone like prince charles. you know, he looked very handsome, and my daughter looked beautiful with him. i wasjealous, i wish i had been there, i wish it had been me. but thank god he was there, and i thank him for that. mr markle said meghan had wept when he told her he couldn't attend the wedding, and he had wept as he watched the service on television in california, and he spoke about the moment harry had phoned him to ask his permission to marry his daughter. harry got on the phone with meghan, they called me together and harry asked for her hand over the phone, and i said, "you're a gentleman. promise me you'll never raise your hand against my daughter,

and of course, i give you my permission." they also apparently talked about american politics and president trump. our conversation — i was complaining i didn't like donald trump. he said to give donald trump a chance. i sort of disagreed with that, but i still like harry. you know, he has his politics, i have my politics. harry, said mr markle, was an interesting guy who had made a good choice in his daughter. he expects them to have children soon. as to the future, mr markle says he is looking forward to having a good relationship with his new family. now to a rather expensive hat. a two—cornered hat said to have belong to the former french emperor napoleon has been sold at auction in lyon for $325,000. it was claimed to be found on the battlefield after his defeat at waterloo, which took place today in 1815. napoleon was renowned for his military bicornes, which he wore sideways so he could be spotted more easily in battle. you have been watching newsday.

pushing us all in to fresher air, northerly airflow across the country. bringing a few showers to shetland, the north—east of scotland. most, though, will be dire. sunny top and tail of the day. cloud builds up, spreads out a little bit during the middle part of the day. but note that temperatures by this stage — mid—teens across scotland, maybe low 20s in the south. but as we finish the week, going into the weekend, high pressure starts to nudge its way in, killing off that northerly airflow and bringing in slightly warmer air. and with higher pressure in charge, it stays dry the most on friday, saturday and sunday. varying amounts of cloud, good deal of sunshine, and temperatures up a little bit. bye for now. scotland, this is bbc news. our top story. donald trump says the united states will not be a migrant camp. but there's been widespread condemnation of his immigration policy — that's seen thousands of children separated from their families at the border. england have kicked off their world cup campaign with a last minute, winning
