america's i escorted was swift. those demonstrating outside the supreme court will not the only ones for whom the trump administration's travel ban has proved divisive. we are outraged, we are disappointed, as americans from all backgrounds and all faiths. the decision hans donald trump one of the biggest victories of his presidency, upholding a travel ban targeting several muslim majority countries are rejecting the argument that it amounts to unconstitutional and the justice crew nation. this is a great victory for our constitution. we have to be tough and we have to be safe, and we have to be secure. at a minimum, we have to make sure that we prevent people coming into the country. coming after a tortuous legal battle in which opponents of the plan pointed to donald trump's

engine was in statements on the campaign trail, some branded the ruling devastating. they failed, they have failed to stop at i think is going to go down in history as one of the great failures of the supreme court, when confronted with the difficult question. the ruling comes at a time when the president is embroiled in controversy over his approach to illegal immigration along the mexican border, and with pressure mounting to find a legislative solution to one of the most intractable and polarising issues in american politics. president trump says national security concerns alone justify a travel ban, his opponents point out that the worst attacks in the united states since september the 11th had been committed either by americans, oi’ been committed either by americans, or by immigrants from countries that are not part of ban. the president of zimbabwe emmerson mnangagwa has told the bbc he

suspects the faction which supported the former first lady grace mugabe during last you's struggle for power in the country was behind the attempt on his life at the weekend. two people were killed and more than 40 two people were killed and more than a0 wounded when a device exploded close to the president at a rally in the city of bulawayo. in an exclusive interview, our africa editor at the president if he suspected the perpetrators were linked to the mugabe regime. my hunch, without evidence, is that the people were aggrieved by the leader's position battle. that is a logical and legitimate conclusion one could make, but until there is evidence and we drill down as to why this has happened, and because of what happened, what that person did. is at your sense that this is the

act of one individual or is it a political conspiracy?” act of one individual or is it a political conspiracy? i think this is political actually, by some aggrieved persons, by the current political position in the country. is your response to this going to be some kind of political crackdown? there is no need for us to have a security crackdown. this does not give any... to the attempt to debilitate the country, but of course it is important to hunt down these criminals and only when we have got them will we be able to assess the extent to which the network spreads. is this country stable, when you have an attempt on the life of the president, when a would—be assassin can get within a few inches of the? let me assure you

that in the region, zimbabwe is the most that in the region, zimbabwe is the m ost sta ble that in the region, zimbabwe is the most stable in the region in terms of stability and law and order. so the foreign investors, you say what? they are extremely safe and i do not think anyone should worry. i do not think anyone should worry. i do not think they would worry. let me ask a blunt question, do you trust grace mugabe and the people around her, the people who supported her? how would i trust someone who has used her power to say things she has no business saying it all? you seem quite angry. no, she was politically immature in my view, but it was easily used as a tool. i have heard your rallies myself talking about moving to a new zimbabwe, the country of hope. with respect, mr

president, you are so much part of the old zimbabwe. when you are in cabinet and opposition leaders were being beaten and tortured, you are pa rt being beaten and tortured, you are part of all that. why should people believe that you have changed? the reason you should believe it is what i'm doing, the actions i am doing. the actions that i am doing, in the past, we had roadblocks all over. the police have removed those, we have opened the political space. it is factual, it is not a perception, it is factual. your nickname, the crocodile, has its place in the world but the crocodile is also a very and ruthless animal. to those characteristics describe you, do you think, patient and ruthless? am a very soft person in life. well, it

you tell me you are soft. i would —— as soft as water, i suspect you are as soft as water, i suspect you are as hard as nails. it was really late, you discover that you were wrong. there was rumours about it, you are such a nice man. and you can find reaction to president emmerson mnangagwa's interview with the bbc online. president abe was forced to step down after 38 years in power. its brief you on some of the other stories making the news. six eu countries, including france, italy

"stolen from the crib, we wantjustice", protesters demand

outside the court. many of them parents who say their babies were snatched by the spanish state decades ago. the woman who embodies their hopes forjustice arrives to cheers and hugs of support. ines madrigal‘s case is the first to come to trial, but there have been thousands of similar complaints. in fact, it's hard to knowjust how many children were abducted under general franco's dictatorship because their parents were left—wing, unmarried or poor. translation: this is not my case, it is not my case anymore. this has gone further. everyone knows that in this country babies have been stolen all over spain and in the islands. it is very important to take a step further because we have expiry dates, people are dying and those who lost their sons are now very old. some of them have died. the man ines madrigal says took her from her mother a9 years ago is retired gynaecologist, eduardo vela. he's accused of falsely signing her birth certificate and then giving her to another woman. the 85—year—old denies any wrongdoing and says he did not remember the case. no. indeed, he says he remembers virtually nothing about his 20 years

"i'm 50 years old, i was stolen. no money is enough. they've stolen our lives", said this woman. this case shines a light on some of the country's darkest years, but even a conviction can't do what so many would want most, and that's undo the years of pain. lebo diseko, bbc news. now, it is getting close to crunch time in the brexit negotiations. european leaders will hold a summit starting on thursday that already last night, the 27 countries that will remain after britain leaves the european union met to discuss the

plans in place to say it look, if there is no information about what happens after brexit, then we have to make a business decision on what happens after we stay in the uk, how business relationships with the eu in the uk, they had to make decisions on the no detail whatsoever, no detailed running forward and of course running into quite an important summit here, it just really does go down the same old, same old street we have been going down to such a long time. that just paralysed, aren't they? what impact ifany just paralysed, aren't they? what impact if any is it having on your business? it has an impact to a certain extent because of the trading side of being sentimental regulation across the eu is such a massive deal at the moment, which of course is a good thing to put some kind of regulation in there. but really, it does not have too much of an effect going forward because these eu negotiations, pretty much everything all the time, regardless of whether you are in the eu or not. it is still going to be a massive issue, it affects a number of

things, not just to issue, it affects a number of things, notjust to ask, about where clients come from and again, it is very similar things are notjust business but will other financial businesses. it just makes business but will other financial businesses. itjust makes you dictate where these customers come from and that is one of the biggest issues that of course, these businesses have unwanted clarity on. lakh, will talk about this story a little bit later. thank you to now, though,. —— all right. italy failed to reach the world cup, the women's team hopes to redeem the nation's reputation. members of the neo—nazi resistance movement stormed the world trade center, armed with pistols and shotguns. we believe that, according to international law, that we have a rightful claim on certain parts of this country as ourland. i take pride in the words "ich bin ein berliner". chapman, prison—pale and slightly chubby, said not a single word in open court. it was left to his lawyer

suffered great sadness and loss. never has hope and reconciliation been more needed. i know i share a desire with all of you, and with your neighbours, for a just and lasting peace. later this morning, inrun mahler, william is due to meet the president of the palestinian authority, mahmoud abbas. he will spend several hours in the palestinian territories, meeting different groups. britain is keen to send a message that peace can only come about through cooperation and mutual respect, and that is the message that william's visit is intended to emphasise. now to the latest in world cup action. argentina have made it to the last 16 with a victory over nigeria, sending the super eagles out of the tournament. croatia took a 2—1 victory over iceland to qualify for the last 16, and france finished top of their group after a goalless draw with denmark. the bbc‘s correspondent is in moscow with all the latest. hello from

moscow. in what is the morning after a dramatic night of world cup action, both on and off the pitch. let's start with argentina's clash with nigeria and that developing news about diego maradona that you just mentioned. a video emerged on social media of diego maradona which appeared to show him collapse after he has seen walking with difficulty into the vip section of the stadium after the match. some photographs showed paramedics attending to the former argentinian captain of the national team. the media in argentina is reporting that the former captain suffered a spike in blood pressure and we will have more on that through the morning. it all happened after a dramatic make or break match for argentina which sent them to the next round after a 2—1 victory over nigeria. that comes after a lacklustre performance at the start of the tournament. elsewhere, world cup debutant

iceland are out after losing to croatia, who are through to the knockout stages. our correspondent reports on all of last night's action. before even a ball was kicked, morocco were trying to keep ronaldo quiet. his silence lasted four minutes, portugal's star man at his ruthless best. the 85th goal of his ruthless best. the 85th goal of his international career, more than any other european in history. but for portugal's fans, that is where the excitement ended. morocco were the excitement ended. morocco were the better side. at all the opportunities they couldn't take any. the africans became the first tea m any. the africans became the first team to leave russia. morocco had been ronaldoed. spanish fans know exactly how that feels, still licking their wounds from their draw with portugal, they were poor in the first half against iran. silva off the mark, not impressed. all game iran felt like they were on the ropes. diego costa the man to

provide, little did he know about it. against the run of play, iran we re it. against the run of play, iran were in dreamland, this fumble in, and the var worked up with a bang. the goal ruled offside, with it iran's hopes were gone. spain surviving with a scare. uruguay are another team who tend to rely on one man, and suarez delivered again. from that point, their finishing left plenty to be desired, but at the final whistle they had done enough, just. uruguay on the way to the knockout stage, saudi arabia home. —— heading home. and i want to apologise, due to technical difficulties that was the action from the night before, but we will bring you yesterday's action in the next hour. today, was ill play serbia and in the other group match, switzerland play costa rica. everything is still to play for in

this group. in group f, germany face a crucial test against south korea, and mexico play sweden. one team which has been notably absent from this tournament is italy. it is the first time in 60 years italy isn't playing at a world cup. it is a source of national rage, but the country is finding some consolation elsewhere, as our correspondent reports. the only italian men's team playing this summer is made of rubber. on the banks of the river tiber, i invited three locals to join me in a consolation table football tournament. what is it like not to have italy in the world cup, i asked. it is bad, it is awful, sad, they said. world cup without italy isa they said. world cup without italy is a world cup, said andrei. a bit like brazil without coffee added his

friend —— andrea. fora like brazil without coffee added his friend —— andrea. for a few minutes at least, they appeared to enjoy putting aside their country's footballing failure. this summer, italy may be turning in on itself with a sense of resignation, gloom and shame, but it is not all bad news. one set of italian players has decided to redeem this country's reputation. the italian women's team has done what the men couldn't do. the women have just qualified for their world cup to be held in 2019. it is the first time they have made it in 20 years. we met the squad at their training it in 20 years. we met the squad at theirtraining camp it in 20 years. we met the squad at their training camp outside florence. unlike their male counterparts, they are not multimillionaires, and they don't have their own clothing brands. but this 22—year—old striker tells me that the women's game is on the rise. i am sure there are going to

bea rise. i am sure there are going to be a lot of people that are going to get closer and closer to our soccer. it is the same soccer, there is no difference between male and female. it is the same game, you know? so yes, we deserve it. the team's captain has been campaigning for yea rs captain has been campaigning for years for more recognition for the women's game. before, it was very ha rd women's game. before, it was very hard for us to play in italy, because in italy football has always been a male field. but now things are changing very fast, and our image is changing, and that is the most important thing. the women don't yet pack out stadiums, but they are ready to step in where their country's men have failed. great to see those female footballers in italy. it is interesting because even though italy didn't qualify, there are plenty of italian fans that i have run into here in moscow. i have also met fans from other countries that

didn't make it to the world cup finals, including venezuelan fans, afg ha n finals, including venezuelan fans, afghan fans, finals, including venezuelan fans, afghanfans, and finals, including venezuelan fans, afghan fans, and algerian football fans. iam afghan fans, and algerian football fans. i am trying to see how many different countries from around the world i can meet fans from. there is definitely a celebratory atmosphere in moscow. when i walked here this morning, i saw some people with hangovers sleeping on park benches, so some people have been partying too hard. but that is not a bad thing, this is the world cup, after all. stay with us here on bbc news. i will be back in a few minutes' time with a business briefing. we will have plenty more on brexit and uk business reaction as those talks go ahead. back in a few moments. temperatures are set to soar once

again on wednesday. i expect it will go over 30 degrees once more. we had temperatures already up to 31. i think the hottest place on wednesday will be scotland and northern ireland. here, it is not out of the question that we will hit 30 degrees mark, so what a scorcher on the way midweek. not everybody likes it, in fa ct, midweek. not everybody likes it, in fact, some of us can't wait for some cooler weather. there is some cooler weather potentially on the horizon, but not for a while. in the short term, the high pressure is very much in charge of the weather from scandinavia, across much of western europe, stretching all the way down towards iberia. very little in the way of cloud. a bit of a breeze blowing early on wednesday morning across the southern and eastern areas. it may be the case that some of us in eastern counties will be waking up to some grey skies. very quickly it will disappear, and then it is virtually clear blue skies across the uk. once again, the

highest temperatures on wednesday are expected across scotland and northern ireland. a very big difference between the coast, you can see aberdeenshire with those yellow colours, closer to the north sea. we will see a strip of coastal counties where the temperatures are going to be significantly lower. for example, norwich it may be in the low 20s, whereas across western parts of the uk, where you see those deep oranges, temperatures might get too near 30 degrees. so a big contrast between the north sea coast, where we could see in the morning some mist and fog, and then inland areas where there is lots of hot sunshine. on thursday and other hot sunshine. on thursday and other hot day on the way. again, temperatures will be in the high 20s, if not 30 celsius in some spots. and again, that coastal strip on thursday, seeing temperatures quite a bit lower. you can see the arrows coming out of the north sea, blowing towards the north sea coast, thatis blowing towards the north sea coast, that is why we are only seeing 19 in hull and as high as 28 degrees in

birmingham. the weekend is looking very warm indeed. perhaps not quite so hot in some areas. in belfast backed down to 21 celsius. there is an indication that, as we head towards sunday night and into monday, we will start to see showers and maybe some thunderstorms rolling into the south of the uk. goodbye. this is business briefing. i'm samantha simmonds. the fear factor. uk businesses increasingly demands answers to what the brexit deal will look like. but is the government ready to tell? and move over, pizza and chips. in china, the snack of choice during this year's world cup viewing is anything but foul. and on the markets, asian markets are fluctuating as trade war fears torment investors. but energy firms rally after a surge in oil prices.
