opened fire here at the local paper in annapolis, maryland. and we are hearing some of the terrifying details the reporters who were inside. a crime reporterfor the newspaper, phil davis, said it was like a newspaper, phil davis, said it was likea war newspaper, phil davis, said it was like a war zone. he describes how at terrified he thought staying under his desk as the head the gunmen open fire, shooting multiple people before reloading. emergency responders got here in under 60 seconds and you can see behind me that there is still a massive presence on the ground. the building has been surrounded and the shooter is in custody. cbs news describes him asa is in custody. cbs news describes him as a 20—year—old white male. they say he is not cooperating with authorities and has refused to give his identity. but certainly, rico hizon, this has shocked the community coming here. i should add that across the country in new york, chicago, los angeles, police

departments have sent officers to major newspapers in light of the shooting. we'll bring you more updates as we get them. but let's take a look at some of the day's other news. late night talks are continuing in brussels, at a european union summit which is trying to patch up deep divisions over the issue of migration. italy, which now has a right—wing populist government, has said it will refuse to sign any concluding statment unless the summit agrees a deal to tackle migration. italy is the entry point for thousands of migrants, and is demanding that other eu countries share the burden. 0ur europe editor katya adler is at the summit. we have had high drama here tonight, when the italians basically said they would be blocking any decisions at this summit until they get concrete help with migrant arrivals on their shores. you see, yes, the main focus at this summit is migration, but leaders are also here to discuss brexit, the economy, security, and defence. but basically, the italians have borrowed some words from the uk commissioner, that they used with brexit.

they looked the other leaders in the eye and said, nothing is agreed here until everything is agreed. you see, the italians smelt a rat. they were worried at the summit that they would be steamrolled by eu—savvy angela merkel. she also needs concessions on migration at this summit. she is fighting for her political life at home. germany and italy have different priorities when it comes to migration. germany wants deals that keep migrants out, while italy wants germany and the rest of the eu to take more migrants in. so, as one eu diplomat put it this evening, italy has taken them all hostage, and as we speak, other eu leaders are discussing migration in what i can only imagine is a very bad—tempered dinner. bad—tempered indeed. also making news today, the date and location are officially set. president trump will meet vladimir putin in helsinki onjuly16. the two have meet in the past

at international summits, but this is the first planned trip for bilateral talks. mr trump says they'll focus on us—russia relations and that he will also bring up syria and ukraine. australia's parliament has passed a package of new laws aimed at preventing foreign interference in the country. although the government says it isn't specifically aimed at china, the move has added to diplomatic tensions with beijing. the wide—ranging laws target foreign interference in politics and other domestic affairs, as well as espionage. they will also require lobbyists for foreign governments to identify themselves on a public register. prince william, who's on a tour of the middle east, laid flowers at the grave of his great grandmother on thursday. the duke of cambridge also visited jerusalem's most sacred religous sites, the al aqsa mosque compound, followed by the adjacent western wall. he ended his tour at the church of the holy sepulchre. the us first lady melania

trump is in arizona to visit a border patrol centre where new migrants are processed. it's her second visit to the region — last week she visited a facility for children separated from their parents under her husband's former hardline immigration policies. her spokesperson said mrs trump would continue to give her husband her opinions on family reunification. an oil tanker truck caught fire in nigeria killing nine people and burning 53 other vehicles — that's according to emergency officials. video from the scene shows vehicles ablaze and thick black smoke billowing across a wide stretch of road. officials say it happened following a crash. it's now been six days — and five nights — since a group of teenagers and their football coach, disappeared inside a flooded cave in northern thailand.

the thai navy has had to suspend its attempts to find a way deep inside — as heavy rains, continue to hamper rescue efforts. american and british experts have arrived to help the search. jonathan head is near the cave network with the rescue teams. it is an agonising wait for families of the missing boys and their coach. in the absence of any good news, this is one of their few consolations. this man is the deputy head at the school attended by six of the boys. like their families, head at the school attended by six of the boys. like theirfamilies, he is holding onto the hope they still alive. translation: i want to show my support. i want to tell them that their friends support. i want to tell them that theirfriends and support. i want to tell them that their friends and teachers are still waiting for them. please go back. --

please hurry back. but with the thai navy offence has many best shoe to rising water levels, the focus outside the case was on trying to drain. 0utside come at the entrance to road two days ago, was a time. the first foreign assistance arrived in the form of these us rescue experts. we hope in their thai cou nterpa rts experts. we hope in their thai counterparts just how difficult the conditions are in the case. the team of experienced cave divers went in, but were unable to get far. so they are using their past knowledge of these caves to try and find another entrance. this is just these caves to try and find another entrance. this isjust the these caves to try and find another entrance. this is just the other side of the mountains from the main cave entrance. it is just possible that in these forested cliffs there are holes that lead down into the

complex of tunnels and caverns beneath. and that is where the british cave experts have started their search today. but even if they do manage to find a way in here there is no way of knowing whether this is where the boys and their coach are trapped. we have missed you. we have missed you, i know, i've been down the waiting to you. after several hours of hacking their way through the countryside, they came back with a promising find: an opening that might lead all the way down. it is in the right place. we are looking for any possible way of getting in. what they have quickly done is to chop declaring so that one, it is easily visible, and two, there is enough open space — you cannot easily lend a helicopter so that people can get out of it. all these efforts, though, are taking time, and there is very little left. jonathon head, bbc news, northern

thailand. donald trump has been visiting wisconsin, the home of harley davidson motorbikes, the state's most iconic business. this week the manufacturer announced it's moving jobs out of america, because of tariffs slapped on by the eu in retaliation for mr trump's duties. the president was visiting the site of a brand new factory — being built by the multinational foxconn. he called on harley davidson to carry on building their motocycles here in the us. from wisconsin, here's chris buckler. harley—davidson has spent decades building an all—american image that's sold all over the world. but selling the distinctive roar of these engines has become an expensive, rather than an easy ride. the company already has assembly plants in other countries. but wisconsin is seen as the heart of harley. and at this, its sprawling site in the state it calls home, workers are talking

about president trump's public fight with the firm, the eu's tariffs and the potential of theirjobs heading overseas. i love my company, i like my president, i'm happy. it's all good. it's a tit—for—tat. trump thinks he can piss people off and then the other people overreact. harley insists it needs to move some production abroad to avoid steep new tariffs. president trump, who started that trade battle with europe, was in wisconsin to break ground at a huge new electronics plant. but he had a message specifically for harley. harley—davidson, please build those beautiful motorcycles in the usa, please, 0k? don't get cute with us. don't get cute. and he claimed it was looking likely the eu would back down. and they are going to come back and they are going to say, "let's talk". frankly, don't tell them i said it, but they already have. many here got fired up

about donald trump's campaign for the presidency. but in this swing state he needs to keep those supporters on board, and uncertainty about harley could hurt him. trump as far as i'm concerned, i don't consider him america. he is our leader right now. but harley—davidson will always be america. there is no doubt harley—davidson is a classic american brand with more than a century of history. but it's the future success of the company which is important not just to employees but also president trump. america first was welcomed as a positive message but the road ahead has dangers, if the president continues to push his protectionist policies. chris buckler, bbc news, milwaukee. you're watching newsday on the bbc. still to come on the programme: the joy of making it out of your group.

power past the lighthouse at almost 50 knots, shattering a record that had stood for 34 years. and there was no hiding the sheer elation of richard branson and his crew. this is newsday on the bbc. i'm rico hizon in singapore. i'm kasia madera in london. our top stories. at least five people are reported to have been killed in an attack on a newspaper office in maryland near the us capital. european leaders are struggling to agree a joint statement at a summit dominated by the migration crisis with reports that italy is refusing to agree a joint statement. let's take a look at some front pages from around the world. we've been looking at the eu summit and the issue of migrants — so too has the international edition

of the new york times. ‘what crisis?‘ it asks, pointing out that the number of migrants arriving in europe has slowed. it has two images — the top one shows migrants crowding a train station in hungary three years ago. below — the station this week — much less busy. the straits times reports on that search for a football team trapped in a cave complex in thailand. it has a picture of a navy official checking water levels before the search was suspended due to heavy rain. let's turn to the japan times. it reports that three more people are suing the state for damages over sterilisations and an abortion alleged to have been forcibly carried out 30 years ago under the eugenics protection law. the law was not

repealed in the ‘90s. —— was repealed. we are going to hear so much about the world cup, england losing 1—0 belgium and they will now face columbia in the last 16. —— the colombians. 0llie foster has been in moscow. we will start with japan in poland because poland took the lead. what was their motivation? they were already out. japan, 1—0 down involves a great. they dropped off the top of the group to third in that group but what saved them was the match in samara, where the

colombians were playing senegal. as soon as the colombians got a goal, suddenly the maths meantjapan soon as the colombians got a goal, suddenly the maths meant japan went back above senegal and the first time, a world cup group has been decided by the disciplinary record because japan in senegal, identical on points and goals scored and goals difference but japan have on points and goals scored and goals difference butjapan have been a cleaner team for the three matches so far at the world cup. senegal with six yellow cards. senegal going home bitterly disappointed. the colombians and japan going through. japan, just by the skin of their teeth. their reward, if you can call it that, they have got the belgians ona it that, they have got the belgians on a really tough half of this world cup group. the colombians are heading to moscow to face england.

you touched upon belgium, two teams that are going on and two let each other, and it was, england lost a belgium but in a way, i bet they are happy they did. they were admitted the fourth this match, but we knew belgium and england were through to the last 16 but it was all about who would finish top in this one. england were top because of their fewer yellow cards but an absolutely fantastic goal scored for the belgians. they win, they top the group, they have japan but it's such a top half of that —— such a tough half of the draw. panama and tunisia go home. now the world cup park is set. we know although 16 teams, we have a rest day. who are we looking out for on saturday? it's just

have a rest day. who are we looking out for on saturday? it'sjust so top—heavy. this is going to set the tone down in kazan. france and argentina. brazil and mexico. that is the top half of the draw, but the japanese find themselves in. that's if they can get past the belgians. the other side of the draw is much easier. when you look at spain against russia, they are heading to the luzhniki stadium. even though england lost against the belgians, you know they would much prefer to be on that side of the draw. get through them and it's sweden against switzerland. spain is the toughest tea m switzerland. spain is the toughest team you could get in this semifinals but we are getting a little bit ahead of ourselves. the final 16 has been set, it will be

tough and they are all must win but it's been a frantic week polishing of all these groups. all the world cup action in moscow. with a run of 20 years, more than 70 international awards, translated and performed in eight different languages and seen by more than 90 million people worldwide, is there anywhere else for the musical the lion king to go? well, it seems there is — the show is now on tour in asia. currently in singapore the production has recently been in manila and heads on to korea and taiwan. with me now is producer and composer lebo m, famous for arranging and performing music for the lion king movies and stage productions. and famous for his beautiful voice at the opening to the the lion king movie. let's just hear that now. to welcome, lebo. just listening to that amazing song,

ijust got so just listening to that amazing song, i just got so much just listening to that amazing song, ijust got so much goosebumps. happy birthday. its the 20th year of the lion king. 20 years last in november, wejust lion king. 20 years last in november, we just entered the 21st year with a spectacular international production. absolutely, and that song was sung in the zulu language. how unusual at that time? what actually we did, we did it as a demo and left los angeles and got called back in to do the movie. we never really felt it until i started working with a broader production and seeing the impact on feeling the impact. broader production and seeing the impact on feeling the impactm broader production and seeing the impact on feeling the impact. it is the voice and the spirit of the lion king. when i did the movie, no one realised the impact and i did it to

with hans zimmer. it puts the zulu language in such positive light. with hans zimmer. it puts the zulu language in such positive lightm must make you proud. very much so. now that we are moving along with the international production, i still get goosebumps. i came into singapore two days ago, walked into a rehearsal, just felt like we have the first international tour. it's our second stop on the first time we have a production that has the lion king graduating from all over the world, people from mexico, from here, from south africa, the largest cast of the international community. i love your enthusiasm and energy, lebo m, but you'd be in this production for 20 years. it keeps this inspiration going? after all this inspiration going? after all this talk about, i think the storyline and script, the fantastic

design, everything about the lion king, what i've learned is, people from all over the world can relate to one of the characters or most of the characters. it's a very human story. i can relate to is timber. not mufasa. well, you have the authority of mufasa. it's a good news story that the world consistently needs and people from all over the world, different cultures and races can relate to some aspect of the story. that's what peak —— that's what keeps people coming back to watch the musical. i've seen it four times, west end, broadway and in singapore. i can't count how many times. every timei i can't count how many times. every time i go into the rehearsal, i'd like a little kid every time for 20 years, still the same goosebumps when you are watching the opening of the circle of life and it's still the circle of life and it's still the same goosebumps. it's the circle

of life... i love that song. 0ur special was that when you wrote it? it became more real after i won a grammy and after we opened on broadway and it became more impactful. it's been, what, since 1995? the movie was released in 1994. what was it like holding the grammy award? i think the difference with the film industry in the theatre is, everything is more pleasa nt theatre is, everything is more pleasant when we start becoming involved in a theatre production. is your african heritage fundamental? it's a way. the power of one, my first movie, and the lion king on broadway, i wrote a whole lot more and bought more of who we are in the stories which compliments everything

else. thank you very much are joining us on newsday. if that was an audition for the role in the lion king, iam an audition for the role in the lion king, i am sure you have got the part. from singapore and london, thank you very much for watching newsday. hello there. on thursday, all four nations of the uk recorded temperature above 30 degrees so can we keep that up through the next few days? well, it is going to stayjust about right, there will be some sunshine around the northern areas are going to turn just a little bit cooler. high pressure still with us but it is drifting northwards. the flow of winds around high pressure in this clockwise direction which will allow us to tap into some slightly cooler red city a long way

up slightly cooler red city a long way up to the north but some of that is just going to try to fringe its way into parts of scotland in particular. with that, some extra cloud into eastern areas. still marvelled kaleidoscope, simpler temperatures in london. some of this cloud will link into eastern coasts we re cloud will link into eastern coasts were as over the last few days, it is burnt back out to sea and we will see a bit more cloud encroaching into these eastern areas and as a consequence, cooler. scotland generally a little less hot that it has been over the last day also has a26 has been over the last day also has a 26 degrees in glasgow friday afternoon. further south, temperatures into the high 20s. that's the western side of northern ireland, 30 degrees. friday night, the cloud in eastern areas, a little bit further west. spreading across parts of the midlands, northern england, clear skies out west, temperatures to between nine and 14 degrees. high pressure with us as we start off the work end. subtle features which might change things a

bit, a bit more cloud in to the this area of low pressure which will come into play to the second half of the weekend that saturday, a nice looking day and for those eastern areas, more sunshine on saturday then there will be on friday and in then there will be on friday and in the sunshine, those temperatures doing nicely, mid—to high 20s for most places. still a bit cooler close to the north sea coasts. i mentioned that there are of low pressure to the south and into sunday, it will fringe a cluster of showers towards the southern and western parts of the uk so across the of wales, perhaps northern ireland, there could be some showers and thunderstorms during sunday. further east, a lot of dry and sunny weather and we bring the wind in from the near continent. levels of humidity rising, temperatures back up humidity rising, temperatures back up to 30 degrees, maybe a bit higher across parts of the south—east and we stick with that slightly more humid feel, a lot of dry weather,
