this is newsday on the bbc. i'm rico hizon in singapore. the headlines: mrs trump visits migrant children as her husband orders his administration to reunite 2,000 more separated from their parents by his policies. relatives wait for news of their loved ones as the captain of a ferry which sank is detained in indonesia. 200 people are still missing. i'm lebo diseko in london. also in the programme: it's anguish for argentina, as they suffer a 3—0 defeat at the hands of croatia in the world cup. and the first baby. new zealand's prime minister gives birth — and it's a girl. great to have you with us.

it's 7am in singapore, midnight in london, and seven in the evening in washington, where president trump says he is directing government agencies to begin reuniting more than 2,000 migrant children with their parents. the families were split up by a new zero tolerance policy introduced two months ago by the trump administration. but there's a great deal of confusion over how it will happen, and a vote in congress on new immigration legislation has been postponed. more from our correspondent nick bryant. the first lady has made herself a centralfigure in this row, and today decided to make a dramatic journey to a detention centre in texas where more than 50 children are being kept. publicly, she's called for a country that governs with heart. privately, she's pressed her husband to reverse the policy of taking children from their parents. and today came questions that any mother might ask. when will families be reunited,

and in what conditions are children being detained? i know you housed children on a long—term basis. and i'd also like to ask you how i can help, to these children, to be reunited with their families as quickly as possible. much is being made of the coat she was filmed wearing, bearing the slogan "i really don't care, do you?" words which seem to contradict her actions. her office said there was no hidden message. today, she completely upstaged her husband, who stayed in washington, where he lashed out at his democratic critics. so, they want us to take care of bed space, and resources, personnel. and take everybody. you know, like, let's run the most luxurious hotel in the world for everybody. but they don't want to give us the money. there's been a concerted attempt by the trump administration to put a caring face on what's been slammed as the cruellest of policies.

these pictures, released by the us government, showing classrooms, rather than cages. meals, not wire meshing. even the wonderful world of disney. the youngest are being kept in what the trump administration calls "tender—age facilities," terminology that democrats have seized upon. i've seen the pictures of these tiny little girls, with forlorn looks on their faces. it breaks your heart. and they're being placed into what is being called "tender—age facilities." that's an 0rwellian term if there ever was one. in the immigration debate on capitol hill, democrats can't agree with republicans and the republicans can't agree amongst themselves. with congressional elections looming, washington is obsessed with the politics of immigration. but for the parents separated children, it's the practicalities that count. how are they going to get their kids back, how are they going to prevent them being lost in the system? in the halls of congress, a protest which served as a reminder to warring politicians

of who is in the crossfire of this battle. children. nick bryant, bbc news, washington. our other top story today: police have detained the captain of an indonesian ferry after a disaster that left nearly 200 people missing and feared dead. the captain was one ofjust 18 people who were found alive. let's get more on this from our correspondent rebecca henschke, injakarta. she says the indonesian president has called for a review of maritime safety. hopes are fading that any more survivors safety. hopes are fading that any more sui’vivoi’s oi’ even safety. hopes are fading that any more survivors or even bodies will be pulled from this volcanic lake, one of the deepest in the world. that means many grieving families won't be able to even bury their loved ones, that includes mothers, children, and many young couples. amongst the grief is also anger,

frustration at the pace of the rescue effort, and also that the vote was allowed to go out that day in bad weather with three times the maximum number of passengers permitted on board. the captain was amongst the few people who were rescued after it went down in bad weather. he is being questioned by the police who say he owned the vessel he was operating illegally, without tickets or a manifest. survivors have said there were not enough lifejackets on board and as the ship went down they desperately fought each other for those that we re fought each other for those that were available. this is indonesia's worst maritime disaster in recent yea rs, worst maritime disaster in recent years, but boat accident here are common. and things like this are wearily familiar. presidentjoko widodo has called for a review of the safety laws that see and said

local authorities will be held accountable for not enforcing them. —— at sea. but millions of people rely on traditional boats to get around this vast archipelago, many of those boats not even having basic safety on board. 0bservers of those boats not even having basic safety on board. observers say promises of reform have been made before and they want to see major changes to stop a disaster like this from happening again. rebecca henschke, bbc news, jakarta. also making news today: italy's far—right interior minister has accused rescue charities of treating migrants as human meat and putting their lives at risk. it's matteo salvini's latest attack against groups operating in the mediterranean, and comes as a german charity vessel picked up more than 200 people on thursday. a south korean court has ruled that the killing of dogs for meat is illegal. it's a potentially landmark ruling that could see the practice outlawed altogether. the case was brought by an animal rights group

against a dog farm operator. abouti million dogs are thought to be eaten every year, but consumption has declined. the chief executive of the us microchip maker, intel, has resigned because of a past relationship with an employee. brian krzanich was found to have violated intel's "non—fraternisation" policy. his successor has been named as robert swan, who's currently the company's chief financial officer. and, koko the gorilla, who became famous after learning a version of sign language, has died at the age of 46. in these pictures here she's with flea from the group the red hot chili peppers in 2016. koko was born at the san francisco zoo, where she was trained by her instructor to communicate with hand signals. she was also one of the few non—humans to keep a pet.

to the world cup in russia, and the biggest shock of the tournament so far — lionel messi's argentina are on the brink of going out after a 3—0 thrashing by croatia. earlier i spoke with 0lly foster and this is what he told me about the result. we expected some kind of response, they drew against iceland, argentina, there was the wacky world cup results were all the big guns stumbled. we were looking for a response. we were not expecting that. the coach has come out begging for the forgiveness of all those argentina fans who were left stunned, many of them in tears. he said the responsibility for this result is all on me. everybody is

having a go at him. how on earth can you pick this team and make lionel messi look so ordinary? croatia scored three really good goals, they would give to be first, there was a fantastic would give to be first, there was a fa ntastic volley. would give to be first, there was a fantastic volley. then the captain luka modric cold one in. after the third argentina were at sixes and sevens. they subbed off sergio aguero. he did not touch the ball for 21 minutes at the end of the first half. i do not know what is going on with argentina. it hints at greater undress behind the scenes. they now had to beat nigeria in their final match and hope that iceland slipup in their remaining two matches. even then it is out of their hands. we saw diego maradona, he was in tears in the stands there. it will need another hand of god and

then some if argentina are going to reach the knockout stage. so technically they still have a chance to make it to be last 16, but france beat peru and are moving on to the last 16. they are through, the french. they have not looked good. they squeaked past australia, they just got past peru. psu's star striker. it was a flicked goal. you feel sorry for peru, at their first world cup in 36 years and it is over after a couple of matches. an interesting one in the other group c game, denmark would have got through with france. but australia, we had another ba a penalty, a danish hand, was not delivery, they did give it, the video assistant referee. australia got the equaliser. the socceroos are still alive. they are absolutely delighted. denmark still

administration to reunite families separated by his controversial immigration policy. emotional scenes in indonesia, as relatives wait for news of 200 loved ones missing and feared dead after the sinking of an overcrowded ferry. let's take a look at some front pages from around the world. we start with the straits times, which focuses on our top story — the us policy of separating children from their parents when they illegally cross the border with mexico. under this striking photo, the paper says that some members of the house of representatives thought it was unlikely either of two immigration bills would pass the chamber. since the article was written, one hasjust fallen, and the other is postponed. the south china morning post warns its readers of an internet love scam. the paper says that online romance scammers duped 119 hong kongers this

year. one woman lost 14 million hong kong dollars to someone posing as a film director. that is about 1.7 million us. and arab news has an update about the recent elections in iraq. the paper says that iraq's supreme court ordered a manual recount of the elections on 12 may, a process expected to take weeks. now, lebo, what stories are sparking discussions online? yes, rico. let's have a look what's trending. a cold shower is not to everyone's liking, but for these scientists in antarctica, it has become a tradition. they are taking the plunge in a celebration to welcome the return of brighter days.

they are based at casey station, on the antarctic coast, which gets just a couple of hours of daylight at this time of year. to call her knee. brr, what a stunt —— too cold for me. widows in pakistan are often isolated, and some even see them as bad omens. one in seven widows live in extreme poverty. but one pakistani widow named asia is trying to break gender stereotypes by becoming a bus driver, and with the help of a micro—finance project, is trying to turn her life around. is north korea opening up more to the outside world? if so, we will be learning a lot more about a country that has been shrouded in secrecy and closed to outsiders. hyung eun kim of the bbc‘s korean service has prepared this report on three important north korean concepts — a state ideology of self reliance, the special name north koreans call themselves, a mountain that

north koreans worship. north korea appears to be making friends with the rest of the world. but how well do you know this isolated state's ideology? juche means self—reliance, and the first leader, kim il—sung, developed the idea. in the 1950s, north korea sought to distance itself from the influence of china and russia, and thatis influence of china and russia, and that is how the idea forjuche was worn, north korea pursuing its own interests, free from any external influence. north korea also emphasises its legitimacy by calling

itself chosun. chosun was a 500—year—old dynastic kingdom that existed before the japanese colonisation, so back then, chosun generally meant career in the korean language, so by using its name, north korea is implying that it is the real career, the one and only. actually, by constitution, north korea does not recognise the south asa korea does not recognise the south as a country, and the same goes the other way around. why do north korean leaders emphasise their paektu bloodline? refers to mount paektu, the highest in the most sacred mountain in korea. south korea's national anthem opens with a reference to it. north korea says it is where kim il—sung fought against the japanese colonisation, and allegedly it is where kim jong—un

was born, so the chems' link to this mountain reinforces the cult of personality and sparks reverence —— kims”. the prime minister of new zealand, jacinda arden, has given birth to a baby girl. her partner announced the news by posting this photo on social media. ms arden is only the second world leader to give birth while in office. i've been speaking to paul hobbs, a reporter with tvnz, and he is outside the hospital in auckland where ms ardern had her baby. new zealanders are overjoyed with this news today. i mean, we are

making world headlines, and it is a fantastic moment to showcase our great leader, and i guess the accomplishment of being a world leader who is prepared to give birth and continue her work as a prime minister. look, we have the latest development today is that she has spent the night in hospital with her partner, clarke gayford, and their new baby. they are going to stay in the hospital here behind me in auckland for the foreseeable future. they are making no public appearances today, though. we did expect that we might get a chance to see the baby, but that won't take place. apparentlyjacinda see the baby, but that won't take place. apparently jacinda ardern see the baby, but that won't take place. apparentlyjacinda ardern had a fitful sleep. she was up most of the night feeding her little baby, who has been described as hungry and alert. and you might want to know, her first alert. and you might want to know, herfirst meal, well, it was alert. and you might want to know, her first meal, well, it was toast and a cup of hot chocolate. we do understand that a lot of her family members, rico, will be coming by an visiting her today, which will be much reassurance to her to have familiarfaces much reassurance to her to have familiar faces around her. much reassurance to her to have familiarfaces around her. but i guess the one question that remains

to be answered is the baby's name. so many of us in the media and the rest of new zealand are eagerly awaiting the announcement. and paul, i love toast and hot chocolate. yes, you mentioned, speculation is all about what will be the name of the baby girl. is there at least a short list? well, look. we were obviously... we were not to know the gender of the girl. we didn't know, of course, whether the baby would be a boy ora of course, whether the baby would be a boy or a girl until the birth took place. but they have been... this might be of some interest. two local indigenous tribes, two maori tribes, have gifted names to the prime minister that she can take as middle names for her daughter should she choose to. we can't be sure whether that will be the case. they represent words like strong princess. so all these things are still to be decided. but speculation will remain rife until we get a

result. when you think of scotland, pop music might not be the first thing that comes to mind. but, from simple minds to annie lennox, scottish musicians have found success around the world. now, a new exhibition in edinburgh takes a look at scot pop. here is our arts editor will gompertz. # bye—bye, baby, baby, goodbye... back in the ‘70s, the bay city rollers wore their scottishness on their sleeves. # the sunshine on leith... a decade later, the edinburgh—based proclaimers were riffing on the city's weather. # why does it always rain on me... an interest in meteorology shared by the glaswegian band travis in the ‘90s. # i'm mr initiation! more recently, it has been the mercury prize winning band young fathers going down a storm

as a voice and look of 21st—century scotland. as this exhibition graphically demonstrates, the list of world—class musical acts that have come out of scotland is long and illustrious. but is there a common thread, something that unites them all? that captures the essence of what could be called scottish pop? # i don't want a lover... here is a lady who should know. # ijust need a friend... what literally links everybody in this room is great, great songs. the scots seem to have a real knack for it. i don't know if that comes from the dna of folk music that was written, whether it's in the air. we have something to say. basically, you can't really shut us up. so maybe that's why we like to write a tune and say something. the show also looks back at the pubs, the clubs and the venues that have nurtured scotland's up—and—coming bands, such as the legendary

barrowland, in glasgow. i think most of the bands in scotland have either played in the barrowland, or it's their endeavour to play at the barrowland. that is their goal in life. 0nce they've played the barrowland, they don't care where else they play. some of the musicians featured in this exhibition have stayed. others have strayed, to go to london and beyond. but, wherever they've ended up, what this show emphatically tells you is they were all made here in scotland. will gompertz, bbc news, edinburgh. i love eurythmics and simple minds. you have been watching newsday. stay with us. the effects of tariffs targeted at the us economy. the eu launches import taxes against a whole range of us goods later today. and, before we go, let's take a look at these pictures. the opulent courtyard of france's

presidential elysee palace has become a dance floor. electronic music fans have been treated to a rare concert as part of celebrations for france's day of music festival. president emmanuel macron and his wife brigittejoined the crowds, speaking to music fans and posing for photographs. hello. 0ur weather's warming up. i know that is not music to everyone's yea rs, know that is not music to everyone's years, but it is on its way. 21.3 celsius was thursday's top temperature in hampshire but for a time next week the hot spots will be getting close you to 30 celsius. now, not everyone is getting that hot, but temperatures will widely be in the low to mid—20s, with plenty of dry, sunny weather. with high pressure in control. we have cool things down a little bit in recent days with this flow of air from the north—west. but we are about to lose

that as high pressure moves riding across the uk, allowing the warmer weather into the sunshine. and those temperatures will build, day on day. but there will be a chill in the first thing friday morning for early rises, as temperatures overnight dip down into single figures quite widely. but those temperatures are heading up as the day goes on. light winds, a noticeable breeze across northern scotland with some cloud around in the far north of scotland in the northern isles, patchy light rain and drizzle spreading east. a bit of high cloud may be turning things hazy parts of wales, south—west england, but for most it is sunshine the way. easy winds, breezy as the northern scotland. very high uv and pollen levels particularly in the england and wales, adding a degree or so to the temperature compared to recent days, some get into the low 20s. 21, 20 two degrees. under clear skies on friday night and into saturday morning, while maybe a bit of patchy cloud across parts of scotland, but largely clear skies. fairly rapid wind and the temperatures dip again, into single figures for some of us.

but i don't think quite as chilly on saturday morning compared with friday morning. so that sets the scene for the weekend. what's going on, were talking about high—pressure moving across the uk, and here it is. although at the start of the weekend eagle highs will notice this weather system moving on through northern scotland. so of course that is going to bring more breeze, more cloud here, and the further north you are into the northern isles, some outbreaks of rain on saturday. and there will be some high cloud elsewhere. not necessarily clear blue sky. the sun will be hazy at times. nevertheless, temperatures will have risen a little bit more. particularly in the parts of england and wales. and then 4—part two of the weekend on sunday, early rain clears away from shetland and then it is largely sunny all the way. dry, very light winds, and widely on sunday temperatures will be into the low 20s. and again, in the next week, with high—pressure sticking around along with the sunshine, the temperatures are edging up a bit further. more into the mid—20s, but yes, some as the heat ilves will see that canberra to reaching into the

upper 20s, to near 30 celsius. and thatis upper 20s, to near 30 celsius. and that is your latest forecast. i'm lebo diseko with bbc world news. our top story: the us first lady has visited a child detention centre in texas. but as her husband orders government agencies to start reuniting families separated under his controversial border policy, us congress postpones a key vote on immigration. police have detained the captain of an indonesian ferry after a disaster that left nearly 200 people missing. the captain is one ofjust 18 people who were found alive. and these pictures are trending online. it's a jacket melania trump wore on the way to that detention centre, with the words "i really don't care, do you?" on the back. her spokesperson said "there was no hidden message", but her husband says she was referring to the media that's all from me now. stay with bbc world news. now on bbc news it's time for hardtalk.
