donald tusk, has said that eu leaders have reached a agreement on migration. the italian prime minister, giuseppe conte, who heads the new right—wing government in rome, had threatened to veto a communique at the end of the eu summit in brussels unless his country was offered an acceptable deal on migration. eu leaders have indicated that italy and greece, where most migrants arrive, will be able to set up migrant centres on their soil on a voluntary basis. as the leaders left the summit, german chancellor angela merkel briefly outlined some of the discussions. translation: we have also talked about secondary migration, and we have concluded that we should put this in order, because we've got to stick to the rules. no asylum seeker has the right to choose a country within the schengen area for an asylu m within the schengen area for an asylum application. on the other

hand, we have to show solidarity with the countries in which they arrive. we had quite a lot of discussion about this. all in all, i think that it is a good message, that we have reached a common text. joining me now is our europe correspondent damian grammaticas, in brussels. it has been quite a night. we are just hearing from angela merkel, and she will be no doubt mighty relieved that she has something to show her folks back home. can you just explain what this deal amounts to? david, yes. so this took all night, pretty much, to hammer out between the leaders. they broke up a little before sunrise here, so only a couple of hours ago. the heart of this deal seems to be a sort of a bit of what italy wants, a bit of what germany wants. so a bit of what the two different sides in this wanted. for the italian side, and

for a number of countries, what you have got in this deal is pledged to strengthen the external border controls of the eu, to do more with countries like libya to try to prevent migrants from reaching the eu in the first place, so that deals with the sort of external aspect. then there is i think what is the more unexpected part of this, which is an agreement to set up processing centres in europe for dealing with those who were rescued at sea. now, looking at the conclusions of the summit, what it appears is that those would be possibly some sort of secure centres for holding people, where the conclusions make clear that those who do not qualify for international protection, asylum, in

the eu, the eu would seek to return them pretty quickly to their countries of origin. but those who do qualify for asylum would be distributed around other european countries, on a voluntary basis. so italy gets what it wants, greece get some help here as well, with other countries stepping in to take people, with secure facilities, perhaps. but it is on a voluntary basis, and that keeps countries like hungary and others happy it was they don't want forced quotas or mandatory quotas. finally, what angela merkel gets is part of the conclusions here which calls on all countries to do more to stop internal movement of migrants, asylu m internal movement of migrants, asylum seekers, within the eu, once they have landed. and that particularly as the german concern, in angela merkel‘s own coalition at home. so it seems to have delivered

something for everyone. the question is the implementation and the follow—through. is the implementation and the follow-through. but in a sense that word voluntary is almost bound to create problems down the road. well, what this doesn't do, david, is it does not address the reform, the overall reform, of the european asylu m overall reform, of the european asylum system, which is at the heart of the problem, which is the issue that the —— that puts the onus on the country of arrival, at the moment that is particularly italy, greece and spain. so that reform, these conclusions say, is being looked at, but there is no deadline for that. and that has been the really difficult thing. this provides a sort of way through for the time being that may become a sort of semipermanent or even permanent thing. at what this does bring you some new things to the

table, andi bring you some new things to the table, and i think the thing that is new and different are these processing centres on european soil. the interesting thing about that is the talk into the summit was about processing centres outside the eu. there is a little bit of talk about that in here, but when you speak to organisations like the un, they say the important thing is that this really should happen on eu soil. that is where it will be most effective. and you can keep up to date with the outcome of the eu summit on the bbc website. you will also find analysis of whether the migation crisis could finish off the european union, that is all at bbc.com/news, or download the bbc news app. five people have been shot dead in the newsroom of a local paper in the us state of maryland. two more were injured as the gunman fired with a shotgun through a glass door into the office of the capital gazette, in the city of annapolis. a suspect is being interrogated. police say he is a white man in his late 30s. nada tawfik reports from annapolis.

officials have described this as a targeted attack. they say the gunman came prepared to cause harm, and while they haven't identified him specifically, they say that he is a male in his late 30s. but us media are reporting that he is jarrod ramos, a maryland resident. and officials are giving a clearer picture of the moments of the attack. they said that the suspect entered the building, setting off a smoke grenade before shooting. and we've heard from reporters inside detailing those terrifying moments. one of the paper's crime reporters, phil davis, said it was like a warzone, that the gunmen came in, shooting multiple people, reloading his gun, and that it was absolutely terrifying as several of his staff hid under desks. now, police are searching

the suspect‘s home. they're also looking into a social media account that may belong to the suspect, which made general threats to the paper as early as today. now, as far as the staff here, they have been tweeting updates, and have vowed that they will have a newspaper out tomorrow. let's brief you on some of the other stories making the news: the us vice president, mike pence, has told central american leaders that the united states is facing a new migration crisis. at a meeting in guatemala city with the presidents of guatemala, honduras and el salvador, mr pence said the majority of illegal migrants trying to enter the us came from their countries. he described the numbers arriving at the mexican border as huge and a threat to us national security. thailand's prime minister, prayut chan—o—cha, has arrived at the cave complex in the north of the country where the search is continuing for 12 boys who have been missing for six days. divers have been desperately looking for the boys, who went missing with their coach at the weekend. heavy rain in the area has been

hampering the search effort. a volcanic eruption has forced the closure of the international airport in the indonesian resort island of bali. the airport authorities ordered the shutdown after a pilot detected volcanic ash as high as 7,000 metres following the eruption of mount agung on thursday. nearly 50 flights have been cancelled, affecting more than 8,000 passengers. at the world cup, england lost their final group game 1—0 against belgium. both teams qualify. england go on to play colombia, while belgium will face japan, who made it through to the next stage despite losing to poland. rajini vaidya nathan is in moscow for us. we do now know which team is passed

through to the knockout stages of the world cup, after a couple of crucial matches which were played here in russia last night. crucial and perhaps controversial. now, colombia are through to the final 16. they won 1—0 in their match, so they beat senegal. and we will come to that in the second, but it means that senegal are out of the world cup. now, in the other game, japan actually lost to poland, but they are through to the final 16, and thatis are through to the final 16, and that is where the controversy begins here. because actually they lost their game and they got through, but it all came down to where they ranked in the group, and japan and senegal were tied when it came to points, so it came down to other factors, which included goals scored, goal difference, and they also tied on those. so then it came down to what is known as the fair

play rule, and that is when they look at which teams had the most disciplinary infractions in the world cup so far and it came down to the fact that senegal had more yellow cards. a controversial decision but that is the rules of the world cup. also yesterday, england played eltham. england lost, as you mentioned therein your introduction, but we already knew that those two teams would be making it through to the final 16 —— belgian. flying the flag for our continent, the only team with a chance of making the last 16. senegal were carrying the weight of africa on their shoulders, and against the colombians, they had the better of the first half. their team bringing the chances, their fans bringing the colour. in volgograd, the stands weren't filled with the same enthusiasm. but, after the break, poland shook things up, jan bednarek hammering in.

already out of the competition, their fans had finally something to celebrate. japan had been top of the group but as it stood, they were heading home. back in samara came the next twist in the tale, yerry mina heading in, colombia back in the world cup. and with that, senegal slipped away. the end of the road for the africans, out of yellow cards. the first time in 36 years that no team from the continent was in the last 16. the colombians topping the group, while in volgograd, the news broke. even in defeat, japan were through — just. in group g, things were much simpler. england and belgium already through, but after a dull first half, a moment of brilliance was the difference. belgium through to play japan as group winners. austin halewood, bbc news. sojubilant

so jubilant japan fans, not just sojubilantjapan fans, notjust in russia but back home. i think we might be able to show you some pictures of that. they are actually the only asian team through to the final 16, the only asian team through to the final16, and as the only asian team through to the final 16, and as we saw in austin's report, no african nations are through to the final 16. that is the first time that has happened since 1982. in the final 16, it is really european teams that are dominating. ten european teams, five latin american teams, and one asian team. now, today is a rest day, but of course teams are now gearing up for the knockout stages. two big games to mention that we are looking ahead to mention that we are looking ahead to on saturday, that is france playing argentina, that will be a big match to watch, and also uruguay playing portugal. thank you very much indeed. we are all a bit jittery about a rest day. i am not

sure how we will cope with the day without football. 16 teams are through to the knockout stages. but how do you manage the expectations of successes and failures at such a prestigious event? annamarie phelps is vice—chair of the british olympic association, and is with me now. good to see you. let's start with that. england have lost 1—0, for example, put out a second 11. does it matter? what are the expectations within the squad for a result like that? is it good? ithink it is within the squad for a result like that? is it good? i think it is very good, actually. they won't have gone out trying to lose, i am of that. they will have had gareth southgate wanting to help them to learn, help them to come together as a team. that team that played yesterday haven't played as a team, as an 11, before. so that will be a first for them, and every experience in the tournament is very different. so i think they did well to get the result they did. it is their first serious match, and belgium are a serious match, and belgium are a serious contender. that you know this, you have competed in olympics

and world championships, the winning momentum matters, doesn't it? of course it does. they will have absolutely wanted to win. notjust for themselves and what that gives them, but individually, they will have wa nted them, but individually, they will have wanted to prove themselves, because they will be the ones wanting to get onto the pitch in the next few knockout matches, hopefully a few knockout matches. if we keep going. hopefully, if you are english, of course. the other thing that fascinates me is, we talk a lot about expectation. there was no expectation when they went, they one, 2... games against moderate opposition and expectation shoots up. do they even feel that, do you think? social media is a great thing. you can see a lot of what is going on in the world, but they are a long way from home. they are, and i don't think they will be able to feel it in the same way. they will be in feel it in the same way. they will beina feel it in the same way. they will be in a bit of feel it in the same way. they will be ina bit ofa feel it in the same way. they will be in a bit of a bubble and they will be very focused on what they are doing that particular day, what their next matches, and that is as far as they will go. they will be very much focusing on the process,

how they are training, what the next sort of achievement and improvements they are making up. and i hope they are not. if you look at our team in 2012, even, here when we had the olympic games, they were not really aware of the amount of focus that there was on them, the amount of expectation on them as a team. they focused on their crew or their team 01’ focused on their crew or their team or their race. and that was on home soil. you don't see that big picture, so hopefully they will be focused. and we will have a bit more the world cup would be reviewed papers later. stay with us on bbc world news. still to come: we have a special report from south sudan, where international aid is helping the youngest get a strong start in education. china marked its first day of rule in hong kong with a series of spectacular celebrations. the huge firework display was held in the former colony. the chinese president, jiang zemin, said unification was the start of a new era for hong kong. the world's first clone has been

produced of an adult mammal. scientists in scotland have produced a sheep called dolly, that was cloned in a laboratory using a cell from another sheep. for the first time in 20 years, russian and american spacecraft have docked in orbit, at the start of a new era of cooperation in space. challenger powered past the bishop rock 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. you're watching the briefing. our headlines: after 10 hours of talks — and under pressure from italy european leaders have agreed to a set of measures to deal

with the migration crisis. police say a gunman who killed five people at a local newspaper in annapolis, maryland, carried out a targetted attack. an oil tanker truck has caught fire in nigeria's commercial capital lagos. emergency officials say nine people are confirmed to have died, but that number is expected to rise. an official has blamed a brake failure on the tanker. a rescue operation is ongoing. lebo diseko has the story — and just a warning, you may find this should have been a normal rush—hour on one of the main i'm scared! instead, it was a scene of death, grief and fear after a fuel tanker crashed and caught fire. the flames spread from car to car, engulfing more than 50 in total. rescue teams have been working

desperately to try and free anyone still trapped but as the hours go by, the chances of finding people alive seem less and less likely. this incident comes after three people were killed in a truck accident last week. it's led to calls for the movements of big vehicles to be regulated. the state governor says his prayers are with everyone affected and in a statement, he insists authorities would not relent in putting measures in place to ensure the safety of lives. but for many, this is a hollow comfort. they are asking instead how something like this could have happened at all. lebo diseko, bbc news. the world's newest country is struggling.

since gaining its independence, south sudan has suffered from civil warand famine. a large proportion of children don't go to school. but a ministry of education programme, funded by the uk government, is trying to change that by giving cash to girls to encourage them to attend school. the bbc met some of the recipients injuba, the country's capital. there is lot of international evidence that cash transfers work on oui’ evidence that cash transfers work on our intent was the girls to go to school and we are to empower the girls. this will help meet to get on top of my school fees and some of the school requirements like leading toilet paper, reading papers, and we don't have to pay for these things and to make things lighter for my father. i was able to get transferred money and spend some of

the things that i needed, i got,. wow, i mean... sorry, that's how it makes me feel, i'm notjoking. yeah, it's amazing. if i'm educated and do good things, my parents and neighbours and all around me, says, so—and—so go to school is almost start sending us to school so it is the girls and women who can solve these problems. the girls should be given the chance to go to school and see what we can do. i have a vision, actually, for the future, a vision that i will be leaving my country and my country will evolve like any

other country and i have a vision of this country living in justice without any corruption, living as brothers and sisters of this country. stay with me on bbc news, i'll be back with the business briefing in just a few moments. japan have squea ked japan have squeaked through ahead of senegal because they have fewer yellow cards for foul play and the yellow cards for foul play and the yellow cards for foul play and the yellow card can be subjective. you've given us a raft of other possibilities. they should also consider the number of substitutes considered by teams. whoever has the fewest su bstitutes considered by teams. whoever has the fewest substitutes should be given priority, and that's interesting one. there must be better ways, says jacob. there are better ways, in fa ct, jacob. there are better ways, in fact, such as the win, the thais,

the goal difference and total goals. after that, there is not much to choose from. i'm not sure rock paper scissors would go down too well. a couple of other ports, just suggesting, how about a penalty shootout. some of the ideas coming in. there is a sense generally, but nonetheless, getting fewer yellow cards. senegal go home for goodness sake on the basis of a couple of yellow cards. at least it has something to do with play on the field. we will reflect more on the world cup. do stay with us here. hello there.

on thursday, all four nations of the uk recorded a temperature above 30 degrees, so can we keep that up through the next few days? well, it is going to stayjust about dry, there'll be some sunshine around, but 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, and that will allow us to tap into some slightly cooler air, sitting a long way up to the north, but some of that is just going to try to fringe its way in towards parts of scotland in particular. with that, some extra cloud into eastern areas as we start off friday morning. still mild, though, in glasgow to start the day, 15 degrees, similar temperature in london. as we go on through the day, some of this cloud will linger close to these eastern coasts. whereas over the last few days, it has burnt back out to sea, cooler generally across scotland, but

glasgow still getting to 26 degrees. further west, parts of west wales, western northern ireland could again hit 30. during friday night, the cloud in the east will roll further west. clear skies remain for northern ireland, wales, and the south—west — temperatures dipping between nine and 1a degrees for the first part of saturday morning. high pressure still just about in charge. but a couple of subtle weather features. these were the front has trying to bring more cloud in to the north—west without much success. this low pressure system will come into play later in the weekend. saturday is a beautiful looking day. lots of sunshine to be had. even those eastern areas which would have been cloudy on friday should be brighter on saturday. a bit cooler close to the north sea coasts. a bit breezy as well. temperatures still up into the high 20s for many. i mentioned this area of low pressure to the south. it tries to drift northwards on sunday. that could push some showers into south—western parts of the uk. showers and thunderstorms could clip through some areas. further east, dry, sunny,

increasingly humid. temperatures climbing to 30 degrees or perhaps a little higher. and then we get on into next week. little changes. lots of dry weather and sunshine. plenty of heat and humidity by this stage as well. this is the business briefing. i'm david eades. theresa may calls for faster progress in brexit talks as big business piles on the pressure. plus, trouble is rumbling for president trump as harley—davidson plans to move jobs out of the us. has his trade war backfired? and on the markets, wall street closed slightly higher asian shares recovering a little from nine—month lows seen this week. but those global trade tensions are still very much in focus.
