in the united states, president trump has criticised the american motorcycle maker, harley davidson, for its decision to move some of its production outside the united states. the company said making bikes for the european market would gradually be transferred to other countries to avoid sharply increased tariffs on a range of us imports by the european union. mr trump tweeted that he was surprised that harley davidson — of all companies — was the first to ‘wave the white flag'. the eu duties were imposed in retaliation for new american levies on european steel and aluminium. chris buckler reports. from the roar of the engine to to the iconic image, harley—davidson evokes a sense of america.

but fewer will be made in the usa. steel has been targeted by the eu in the tit—for—tat trade battle with america. it was wisconsin's best business. although donald trump is boasted this of harley—davidson: made in america. harley—davidson. the company that he welcomed to the white house is looking to shift much of its production overseas. the european union is trying to punish us workers because they have engaged repeatedly in unfair trade practices and the president is saying enough is enough and we would like to work with the eu on a level playing field. when donald trump imposed steep tariffs on imports of steel and aluminium, retaliation was expected. and the european union have focused on all american products, made in the heartlands where the president has sought support, like bluejeans, bourbon, and harley—davidsons. one of these motorcycles is a big

1000cc harley—davidson... but the company's glory days of easy riding are now long behind. sales in the united states have slumped and customers in other countries have become much more important. until you have been on a harley—davidson, you have not been on a motorcycle. but just last week, the firm was warning to get on one of their bikes in europe would inevitably cost more. translation: of course this will impact on price. we will try to make this as painless as possible, but no company can foot this alone. in the short—term, harley—davidson now says that it intends to absorb the extra costs of $2200 for each motorcycle. that could amount to $100 million a year. but the longer—term plan of taking production out of the us is worrying some republicans. yet donald trump seems determined to move ahead, even if that looks like america going it alone. chris buckler, bbc news, washington. staying in the united states,

and the pentagon has confirmed that two military bases in texas would be used as temporary camps to house migrants. last week, president trump said he would end the practice of separating these migrants from their children. more than 2000 youngsters have been affected since his administration introduced the policy in april. the defence secretaryjim mattis has been outlining the details. the two bases — that is confirmed that those will be the two bases, goodfellow air force base and fort bliss, but i cannot confirm the specifics on how they will be used. we will provide whatever support the department of homeland security needs in order to house the people that they have under their custody. so we will work that out week by week — the numbers, obviously, are dynamic, so we will have to stay flexible

in our logistics support for the department of homeland security. the bbc‘s david willis in los angeles says there's no information on how these camps might work. very few details from the defence department and the department of homeland security, which looks after immigration matters. the defence secretary, jim mattis, saying simply that they were providing logistical support, as he put it, for the department of homeland security. but these two texan military facilities are ready immigrants — people caught at the border. but following the executive order last week which demands that families be kept together and not separated, this is, presumably, all part of the policy to consolidate these sorts of things. now, that said, there are those who were captured since the zero tolerance policy was introduced who are still separated from their parents and, indeed, some of them have been speaking,

in the last few hours. translation: i never imagined they were going to take my son away. i thought they would send us wherever together. translation: the most difficult thing was being separated from a daughter. she cried, calling for me, saying she wanted to be with me. translation: it was the most difficult moment of my life. i was not expecting it. an official gave me the news that i would be separated from my son because i was facing a criminal charge. well, still a lot of distress and heartache clearly along border with mexico, despite that executive order signed last week by the president that families not be separated, lewis, along the mexican border. yeah, it is interesting. we have been hearing in the last

couple of hours from the customs and border security secretary, down at the front border, that criminal prosecutions have been stopped for migrants with children. where are we with the policy? it sounds like the zero policy has been rolled back. it feels similar to what was happening under the obama administration. you know, a lot of people have criticised this as saying it also harks back to that executive order that donald trump issued about people travelling from certain muslim countries, the travel ban, and all the confusion that resulted from that. but i have to say the justice department has been emphatic that the zero tolerance policy effectively remains in place and that those caught at the border will be dealt with in the way that they have been — in the sense that they will be sent back. what they won't be is

separated from their children, though. after decades of delays, british lawmakers have voted to approve plans to build a third runway at london's heathrow airport — europe's busiest. the uk foreign secretary, borisjohnson — who has opposed expansion, and once threatened to lie down in front of the bulldozers — did not vote. he's been visiting afghanistan. our political correspondent, ben wright, has more. the ayes to the right, a15. the nos to the left, 119. this is a momentous moment really because this question of how to expand our airport capacity in the uk has dogged successive governments now for decades and certainly over the last decades, different governments have grappled with whether or not the solution lies in expanding heathrow, the uk's main airport, just outside london, or whether there should be a new airport entirely, perhaps somewhere towards the south coast, or maybe an expansion of gatwick would be a solution. this has been talked about for years, it has

proved a very divisive solution. in the end, mps have voted to approve a third runway at heathrow. they have also tried to ensure mps who were concerned about the environmental impact, but that could be diminished by the use of new technology coming into aircraft but also changing the way the flight patterns workm and that could diminish the impact this will have on residents in that part of london, but this is controversial, even though mps have approved it, because there are fewer major capital cities in the world with its main hub airport so close to the centre of the city, in such a populated area, and i think the concerns about the impact this is going to have on residents in that bit of london,

on the environment, they are going to continue even once the bulldozers have moved in. ben wright reporting. let's take a look at some of the other stories making the news this hour. a general strike in argentina has brought the country to a standstill, affecting millions of people who were not able to go to work. the unions called the strike in protest against a $50 billion loan agreed with the international monetary fund earlier this month. the european union has criticised the recent election campaign in turkey which resulted in president recep tayyip erdogan being returned to power for another five years. european election observers highlighted unbalanced press coverage and the use of emergency powers to restrict freedoms. thousands of iranians have taken to the streets of tehran, in the biggest anti—government protest since 2012. protesters are calling for iran to end its foreign interventions in syria and elsewhere, to concentrate on the economic crisis at home. riot police fired tear gas to disperse the demonstrators. rescue divers in thailand

are searching for a group of children believed to have been trapped in a flooded cave in the north of the country since saturday. twelve children aged between 11 and 16 together with their football coach were exploring inside the cave's narrow tunnels when a section near the main entrance was flooded. their desperate parents have gathered outside the cave, as jonathan head reports. thai navy divers are battling strong currents, deep water and mud—blocked passages in the cave complex, as they try to find the missing boys. but they've still not made contact with them. they were reported missing on saturday, after a football practice. their bicycles were found left close to the cave entrance. and the boys posted this photo on facebook, takenjust before they went down.

the complex stretches for many miles. they've not been able to reach the furthest caves. that's where they hope the party may still be trapped. theirfamilies have been coming to the caves to wait for news. so far, the divers have reached the largest of the underground chambers and they've seen what they believe are handprints on the wall, but nothing else. this area is well known to experienced cavers and a popular destination during thailand's dry season, but with heavy monsoon rains falling here already for several weeks, going deep into the caves now was a risky thing to do. jonathan head, bbc news, bangkok. stay with us on bbc news. still to come: prince william arrives in tel aviv for the first official royal visit to israel and the palestinian territories. members of the neo—nazi

this is bbc news. the latest headlines: harley—davidson says it's shifting some production from the us abroad — blaming tariffs for the move. president trump has accused the firm of "waving the white flag". the pentagon says two military bases in texas are to be used as temporary camps to house migrants. it's not known if families will be allowed to stay there together. the us academy of motion pictures and arts and sciences, to give it its full title, has invited almost 1000 new artists and executives to join the group behind the prestigious academy awards, or oscars. almost half those invited are women and just over a third are from ethnic minorities.

the recent oscars so white and metoo movements have criticised the academy for having a membership made up overwhelmingly of white men, and for nominating the same. i'm joined now by one of this year's invitees, wendy ettinger. she's an award—winning producer and director, and co—founded chicken & egg pictures and gamechanger films, an equity fund dedicated to financing feature films directed by women. shejoins me now from new york. thanks very much for being with us. first of all, congratulations. as presume you have accepted and said yes. yes, i have. what you make of this he's list of people invited? obviously, an awful lot of names there. is this a case of the organisation finally catching up?|j think it is certainly showing an intention to catch up, and of course

the ultimate goal here is 50, 50 in gender parity. but this is certainly a great first step and i have to say i looked at that list and i love and respect so many people and collea g u es respect so many people and colleagues on that list, it was just, it was absolutely thrilling to see. there are some great names there, some names that people will know, some others obviously behind the scenes that people won't know. and at the numbers, we're not at 50/50. we at 30%, there is still more to do here, it isn't their? yeah, so my partner and i have been working at chicken and egg for 13 yea rs working at chicken and egg for 13 years and working on this issue and it is systemic, the way to achieve this is by hiring more women and people of colour and funding more films directed by women and people of colour, and looking to see what the... again, making sure that there

is equity and pay across the board. and that is how we can achieve more people. how influential, how influential do you think these movements have been, the metoo movements have been, the metoo movement and oscars so white, if you go back to years ago, no one was really talking about this, there has been the huge explosion publicity. do you think it is now actually having a concrete impact?” do you think it is now actually having a concrete impact? i do, i do. i mean i think that people are listening and is paying attention and they're listening and is paying attention and they‘ re recognising listening and is paying attention and they're recognising the fact that there has not been this equity for such a long time, and that it is time to start practising it. and just finally, what effect do you think this will have on the oscars themselves? will we be seeing now different kind of films being made, different kind of films being made, different kind of films being made, different kind of films winning the award is? what impact do you think it will have? not necessarily different kinds of films, i think we

will hear from different kinds of films, i think we will hearfrom more people and new voices and more diverse voices, and we will get a rich texture of stories to come, so i think it is all, it is very, very exciting. indeed, it is. congratulations again and thanks very much for talking to us. and thanks very much for talking to us. thank you. in italy, the interior minister matteo salvini has called for reception centres to be set up on italy's southern border to stop migrants crossing the border. as an idea, having processing centres in africa, allowing the eu to distinguish between economic migrants, who in theory would be sent straight back home and those with the right to asylum or refugee status, it would then legally be allowed into europe, is not new. a while back, france's emmanuel macron said processing centres like that

should be set up in libya because of course these days, libya is the go to place in africa for migrants to come to want to get on a people smugglers's wrote to europe. of course, libya remains largely lawless a nd course, libya remains largely lawless and even if you want to put up lawless and even if you want to put up these centres on its borders, you have to ask permission from its neighbours, so it is complicated. there are also human rights concerns. so even if eu leaders sign up concerns. so even if eu leaders sign up to this, it cannot happen overnight. it is not that magical solution to your‘s migrant crisis, but in fact you have leaders like emmanuel macron and angela merkel who questioned whether matteo salvini is genuine in wanting to solve the migration crisis. he has earned so many political points out of it at home. so while more nationalist politicians for him, others in the uk look at matteo salvini and his ideas with suspicion. —— eu. animal rescue workers are trying to save hundreds of birds caught up in an oil spill over the weekend in the dutch port of rotterdam.

a norwegian tanker ruptured its hull on saturday. hundreds of swans, geese, cormorants and gulls have been affected. lebo diseko reports. a desperate effort to save some of this port's most vulnerable wildlife. hundreds of birds covered in oil after the huge spillage. this tanker ruptured its hull, sending more than 200 tonnes into the harbour. it happened on saturday and officials tried to contain it, but by sunday, the oil had spread to two nearby waterways. rescuers say they've been overwhelmed by the number of contaminated birds — at least 800 over a ten kilometre radius. hundreds are still thought to have been in the water. birds were being taken to other centres in nearby towns, but by monday, a special help centre had been set up in a car park —— to deal with the sheer numbers affected.

the norwegian company that owns the tanker says it regrets the spillage and it has set up an investigation to find out what went wrong. it's thought it could be weeks before the cleanup operation is finished and the harbour safe again for its wildlife. lebo diseko, bbc news. the duke of cambridge has arrived in israel — the first member of the british royal family to undertake an official visit to the country. he will also visit the palestinian territories. our royal correspondent nicholas witchell is travelling with prince william on his five day tour of the middle east, and sent this report. it had become an anomaly which needed to be corrected. israel is a country with which britain has generally good relations, yet for 70 years — since its creation — there has never been an official visit by a member of the british royalfamily. the region's problems have meant the moment has never been deemed to be right. but as prince william arrived at tel aviv airport this afternoon,

israel was removed from the diminishing list of nations to which the british royals don't travel. but for all the welcoming smiles, this is a visit which has required a more than usual degree of care in its preparation and one precondition. british officials made it clear from the outset that a visit to israel could only take place if william was also able to visit palestinian territories. it's intended to demonstrate britain's policy of evenhandedness between the israelis and the palestinians. royal visits are all about symbolism, so as well as the solemnity of a visit to yad vashem — israel's memorial to those killed in the holocaust — there will be meetings with israeli leaders and a trip to the palestinian territories to meet the palestinian leadership. forwilliam, it's a rapid immersion in the challenges of the middle east. his visit began injordan. there, alongside the sightseeing at the ruined city ofjerash, where his wife catherine was photographed aged four with herfamily, there were meetings with refugee children from syria.

the region's problems are complex, and this week, william's diplomatic skills are being tested as he sees them at first hand. nicholas witchell, bbc news, jerusalem. it is time to get an update on all things world cup now. the reigning european champions, portugal, came through a dramatic final group game with iran to reach the tournament's knockout phase. austin halewood reports. the outcome was just as expected. portugal and spain through to the last 16. the journey though was anything but easy. it was the moment all of portugalfor their anything but easy. it was the moment all of portugal for their team were through to the knockout stage. magic from their striker, if only it was that simple. frustrations boiled over. var showing up an incident off

the ball, but the referee only showing yellow. late in the second half, the iranians were handed a lifeline. in a game dominated by controversy, portugal earned a penalty. there was no mistake with the second kick. the moments, an iranian player had a chance to be a national hero. just for a moment. portugal swiping through to face uruguay. iran are thinking what could have been. almost 2000 kilometres away, spain too narrowly avoided an early exit. it was a scoreline no one predicted. spain one, morocco two. but in the dying seconds, the moment came from the spanish. a tap in ruled out by the referee but overturned by var. heartbreakfor morocco, referee but overturned by var. heartbreak for morocco, while spain we re heartbreak for morocco, while spain were linked to as group winners. their prize is a last 16 tie with

the hosts, who were given a reality check by uruguay. russia rumbled 3—0 in samara. and before we go, here's a life saving dog with a difference. poncho, the police dog, he works for the madrid force and he's not playing here — he is actually attempting chest compressions. his handler pretends to collapse there. he is even listening for a heartbeat. it's not hard to see why the clip has attracted 2 million hits on social media. my my dog is not even know his own name. thank you so much forjoining as, this is bbc news. —— us. whether you like it or not, there's absolutely no end in sight to this hot spell we're experiencing right now

and it is a heatwave, temperatures will remain well above average for the rest of the week and into the weekend as well. monday was the hottest day of the year so far, 30 degrees celsius, and many of us experienced temperatures in the high or the mid—20s and the jet stream's way to the north of us, you can see across iceland there, rushing into northern scandinavia but a bit of a dip here into the mediterranean. we will talk about what that means for the med in a second but as far as we're concerned, high pressure dominating the scene there, stretching into scandinavia and the whole of west and central europe and southern parts of scandinavia will be warming up, so through the early hours, very little happening on the weather front. all the weather is bypassing to the north of us, way above my head there, closer to iceland. the morning will be mild, warm in the south. 13, 15 degrees. a little bit chilly in eastern scotland and the north—east of england, possibly single figures,

and we have a strong sunshine right from the word go on tuesday. a seautiful day, some of us love it, for some of us, a bit too hot, but what will we find is more of an onshore breeze around these eastern coasts and the north sea is relatively cool still, so temperatures won't be all that high in hull and norwich. the deep orange is displaced further to the west and that is where the highest temperatures will be. i suspect around 30 in the midlands, london may only reach the high 20s, for example, on tuesday. i mention thatjet stream dipping into the mediterranean. here we have a low pressure and the weather is not all that great around greece, the greek islands. for example, 25 degrees celsius expected in athens. so we're actually warmer here in the uk than in athens, at least on wednesday, but that will change. athens will be hotting up to about 30 degrees in the next couple of days. that's just a couple

of days' blip there. back to the uk, a lot of hot weather around midweek. that is an onshore breeze around the kent coast, east anglia, that north sea coast. hulland norwich, a bit cooler, the low 20s. again, the high 20s expected further west. look at that, even belfast getting up to around 26 degrees, 28 in the lowlands of scotland. you don't need to be a meteorologist to guess that the next few days, sunshine galore, as i say, whether you like it or not. bye— bye. members of parliament in britain have confirmed a controversial plan to approve a third runway at heathrow airport. critics say the impact on local people and environment be devastating.
