the foreign office has said it is providing assistance to the family of a british man who died on 8july in ibiza, and are in contact with the spanish authorities. north korea has issued strong criticism of the us just hours after the secretary of state, mike pompeo, left pyongyang after two days of talks. the foreign ministry says america made too many demands, and that it had displayed a regrettable attitude. the north korean statement says trust between the two countries was at risk of breaking down. the statement also accuses mr pompeo of insisting on unilateral denuclearisation, which it says is against the spirit of the summit. but speaking in tokyo after talks with his japanese and south korean counterparts, mr pompeo said he was encouraged by the progress made during his recent two—day visit to north korea. we had lengthy discussions about the scope of what complete denuclearization means over the past two days. they acknowledged that this is broad, this is, as my two

colleagues have said from weapons systems to the physical materials, the production facilities, enrichment facilities, across the range of weapons and missiles, it is a broad definition of denuclearization and north koreans understand that and have not challenged that. second, they also understand that denuclearization makes no sense, absent of verification. they acknowledge that as well. there will be a verification connected to the complete denuclearization, that is what president trump and chairman kim both agree to, and so people can try to parch words should they choose to do so, but the most important is that the north koreans understand and the demands that the world is making of north korea and that can be unmistakable, the scope of what denuclearization means to the north koreans. i've been very clear with them. in a moment we'll be joined by viewers on bbc one for the evening news with tina daheley. before that let's get the weather with sarah keith lucas.

good evening. our midsummer heat wave continues, another hot, sunny day, many parts of the country seeing temperatures above 30 degrees yet again. this was the scene taken by one of our weather watchers at st ives, beautiful day heading to the beach. a bit cooler around the coast with sea breeze is but hot today in land. the satellite shows where we have had a bit of patchy, fairweather cumulus cloud bubbling up fairweather cumulus cloud bubbling up of the heat and a bit more cloud as well through the rest of this evening and tonight across parts of scotla nd evening and tonight across parts of scotland into northern ireland as well. a little more cloud starting to filter down the east coast as well. and a slightly cooler field to the weather here, temperatures about 12 degrees or so in aberdeen but down towards southern and western parts of england and wales overnight temperatures holding at around 18 celsius. another warm, sticky humid night ahead. monday is very much still high—pressure that is driving oui’ still high—pressure that is driving our weather but we've got this weather front here which is going to

be introducing slightly cooler conditions so as that cold front sinks south it will not be as hot as it has been particularly in the east of scotla nd it has been particularly in the east of scotland and the northeast of england as well, slightly cloudier and the window is coming in from the north here. elsewhere, still another hot, dry day to come and i think the hottest of the weather on monday will be for southern and western parts of england and into wales. you can see the red colours on the map here, not quite as hot as it has been towards the north and northeast. temperatures typically around 18 in aberdeen, 20 belfast, 17 newcastle but down toward london and cardiff still at 28, 29, possibly 30 degrees and of course the championships continue at wimbledon. set to be another dry day, conditions a bit like this and it will be more cloud i think that we have seen recently. still spells of strong sunshine breaking through that cloud at wimbledon and top temperatures another hot day around 28 degrees or so. high—pressure stays in charge of our weather through tuesday and on into wednesday as well, but we will be just drawing in that slightly cooler

aircoming around that just drawing in that slightly cooler air coming around that area of high pressure and spilling in from the north sea. i think through the course the week a bit of a rest bite if you are not a fan of a very high temperature, slightly cooler for a time, coolair temperature, slightly cooler for a time, cool air spinning slightly south, still lots sunshine and mainly dry as well. after that slightly cooler in flu particularly through tuesday on into wednesday things will hot up again as we look towards the weekend. i for now. —— goodbye for now. a dramatic rescue operation to save the group of boys trapped in flooded caves in thailand. so far four boys have been rescued by a team of divers — they're recovering in hospital. this is what all of those who have been involved in this operation have been waiting to see. we saw two ambulances going into this hospital earlier — that's another! the boys are coming out. eight boys and their football coach are still trapped after entering the cave complex two weeks ago. we'll bring you the very latest on the rescue from thailand.

medic on the shelf where they have been forced to retreat by rising water. they were judged fit enough to make the journey. water. they were judged fit enough to make thejourney. though none has ever dived before. it involves two divers swimming with each child, who is tied to the diver in front. they follow a previously laid guide rope to help over difficult to rain and poor visibility. the narrowest part is less than a0 centimetres wide. the boys are helped through by the diver in front before resting on a rocky outcrop and then continuing. as the light outside faded, the site of flashing lights and the sound of helicopters told us at least some of them were out. they were then flown to another city. this is what those involved in this operation have been waiting to see. we saw two ambulances go into this hospital

earlier. that is another. the boys are coming out. then the governor made this announcement. after 16 days of waiting, today we were able to see the faces of the wild boars, he said to cheering journalists, referring to the nickname of their football team. the four who were brought out today were described by one rescuer, as doing remarkably well. they hope to get the remaining nine over the next 2a hours. jonathan head joins us live now. jonathan, dramatic scenes today, what's the latest? they are in the hospital behind me being treated and presumably being reunited with their families. we have no official report on their condition but i was told they were doing remarkably well. the rescue operation is suspended for the moment because they have to bring in a lot of air tanks. these divers are relaying in and out with the boys

and the divers are exhausted, but they will resume over the next few hours. they will then bring the rest of them out. it was pretty efficient today and hopefully judging of them out. it was pretty efficient today and hopefullyjudging by this progress, they should be all out within a8 hours. progress, they should be all out within 48 hours. jonathan, thank you. the environment secretary, michael gove has defended the prime minister's brexit plan agreed at chequers on friday. despite signing up to it, it's emerged the foreign secretary borisjohnson criticised the deal. using some colourful language he suggested the plan falls short of what most brexiteers want. but mr gove described himself as a realist but warned the uk should be prepared to walk away next march if agreement can't be reached with the eu. vicki young has the details. she gave them little choice. back this compromise deal or resign. theresa may laid out her plan to cabinet on friday, the uk would be tied to eu rules on goods and a closer relationship than many

pro—brexit ministers want. the prime minister has crucial support from one of the leave campaigns prominent figures. i am a realist and one of the things about politics is, you shouldn't make the perfect, the enemy of the good. one of the things about this compromise, it unites the cabinet, collective responsibility reigns. i think, for the cabinet, all of us, our responsibility is to work together to ensure we get the best possible deal for britain. at chequers, ministers were allowed to speak their minds. borisjohnson told colleagues in typically direct language, they were being asked to polish a turd. they said it didn't honour the pledge to take control of our laws. but he says he will not resign because he wants to continue to make his case. but the brexiteers are prepared to go further. i cannot support this deal because the offer is so bad and i wouldn't support it

if the european union were paying us. if the prime minister sticks with this deal i have no confidence in itand with this deal i have no confidence in it and i with this deal i have no confidence in itand i have no with this deal i have no confidence in it and i have no confidence in the prime minister. companies have described the plan for a combined customs territory as costly and unworkable. labour agrees. it has got fudge written all over it. if you look at the facilitated customs arrangements at the heart of this, it isa arrangements at the heart of this, it is a rebadging of the partnership and is based on the idea that up the board you can distinguish between goods that can stay in the uk and those going to the eu. it is unworkable and a bureaucratic nightmare. it seems the cabinet have relu cta ntly nightmare. it seems the cabinet have reluctantly in some cases, decided to fall into line. what about her mps? no doubt many brexit bacchin conservatives are disappointing and some will be furious. tomorrow she will meet them in the commons to try

to persuade them this is the best option and only then will be no weather talk of a leadership challenge is on the cards. the deal done at chequers hasn't pleased everyone. the uk government is calling on brussels to take it seriously and in the meantime, it has promised to accelerate arrangements to leave the eu without any deal at all. a police officer tested in hospital for possible exposure to a nerve agent in salisbury has been given the all—clear. meanwhile, this morning, the home secretary sajid javid visited amesbury, after dawn sturgess and her partner charlie rowley fell ill there last saturday. they remain in a critical condition after being exposed to novichok. our home affairs correspondentjune kelly is there for us. what can you tell us? the decontamination site is still in place and the home secretary came to salisbury. he met business people, first responders and medical staff. businesses has suffered badly since

by the japanese military. this is where they were rescued from. the only escape was either by helicopter from the rooftop or by boat. and here, we see why. some people are reported to be still stranded in the hospital — and they are not alone. a swathe of western japan has been hit by unprecedented rainfall that's caused flash flooding and landslides. many people died because they weren't able to flee in time. among them, an 80—year—old couple and a three—year—old girl. and the death toll will certainly rise. translation: i went to my father's home, but it was hopeless. we were looking for two people and only found one. several million people have been told to move to safer ground if they can. those trapped in their homes have been advised to move to higher floors. some are already as high as they can go and have tweeted desperate calls for help. translation: even now we've not been able to confirm the safety of quite

a lot of people and there are many who are stranded, facing the terror of impending inundation and waiting for rescue. nature has delivered this part ofjapan a devastating blow and it's not finished yet. more rain is forecast and with it, officials say, a serious risk of more landslides. caroline hawley, bbc news. now the sun's still shining and jules rimet‘s still gleaming, for england at the world cup. with news of gareth southgate's men and the rest of the day's sport let's join olly foster in moscow. we are getting closer. england arrive on tuesday ahead of the game against croatia on wednesday. their first world cup semifinal for 28 yea rs. first world cup semifinal for 28 years. they are resting at the team based near st petersburg after beating sweden in yesterday's

the operation to rescue the 12 boys and their football coach trapped in a cave in northern thailand for 2 weeks. four of the boys have been brought to safety and are now recovering in hospital. the operation has now been suspended until 8 in the morning — that's 2 in the morning british time. earlier i spoke about the rescue to lt colonel steve whitlock — who was part of a 200a rescue mission in one of the world's biggest cave systems in mexico city. it is good news that we are starting to see people come out of the cave, but it is not over until it's over. you go for a period of seeing success, but the rest isn't over until all of the people are out of the cave, including the rescuers. so there is a way to go yet, but it's really good news that we are starting to see people come through those difficult passages and get out of that cave, but i would caution people just to be a little bit careful

because we've still got an awful lot of people that have got to come out of that cave, and obviously we have still yet to see the remaining members of the team to come through. ok, so you have been part of a rescue team as i said earlier that took place in mexico city. how closely does that event resemble what we are seeing now in thailand? in some ways it is very similar. so, we rescued a group of six cavers from a similar situation. the big difference was that it was part of a contingency plan. although it was a rescue, we were aware that that cave flooded, we had a data logger in that particular cave for three years before we actually went in there, and we knew it flooded to the roof, so we had a camp already set up in case of emergency. we had lines laid to allow those people to come out through that cave, and we also had rick and another diver on standby in the uk should that happen, so the difference was we were slightly more prepared

because we knew that particular cave flooded. i mean, there are so many teams from around the world involved in this. are the... i don't want to say that, but in terms of cave diving, where do you go first for expertise? well, the obvious answer for me was rick stanton. and we knew that nearly 1a years ago, and the situation has not really changed. although there are some really good cave divers all over the world, but it is a quite close—knit community. and is there a number where you can dialfor a cave dive rescue? probably not. so, it is an interesting thought, but if you were caving at the level that we certainly were in mexico, there were were enough members of my team that understood who to ring, and obviously we had arranged that beforehand. we're hearing a lot about a diving plan. what is involved in one of those,

can you just take us through? obviously you need to know the cave in detail and rick would have done that when he first moved in to find the members of the team, but you would need to find how long you are submerged, how complex that cave system is and we have seen a lot on the news about how tight it was and how difficult it was, and that would have been a big part of the plan. can you move people in there? and of course the other thing you've got to consider is the safety of the rescuer, because if you are moving somebody through an environment like that who's not used to it, then it is as dangerous for the rescuer as it is for the person being rescued, particularly if that person starts to panic, loses the line or even worse gets everybody disorientated, so all that needs to be considered and you need to train for it. we trained on the far side of the sun. i hadn't trained members

of the team that i had before we went to mexico, and those people that were trapped, but before we dived them through we trained them in the cave in water to make sure that we understood how they reacted before we even considered bringing them out using diving. time for a look at the weather with sarah keith lucas. wei good evening. the weekend has brought us more of the same. lots of warm sunshine around and those parts of the country have been dry. once again we stick with the tried themes are the course of this evening, overnight and really for much of the week ahead. things will turn a little bit cooler particularly toward the northeast overnight but we stop to draw in a bit more cloud entries from the north sea, still really hot and muggy, particularly the further south you are, 18 or —— 18 degrees or so the low. the humid

sta rts 18 degrees or so the low. the humid starts monday, dry with his brother sunshine and the more cloud than recent days. particularly of parts —— across parts of eastern england and eastern scotland, the breeze starting to come in for more of a northerly direction across the northern half of the country, typically around about 17 degrees in newcastle for instance, 28 or 29 downpours cardiff and london. still sticky in the south after a slightly cooler interludes through the middle of the week it will turn hotter and stay dry towards the weekend. goodbye. four of the boys have been rescued and taken to a local hospital. they have been trapped in a complex cave system for two weeks. a team of divers helped the children through a difficult part of the route and the rescue effort has been suspended until tomorrow. the next days, bringing out the remaining eight boys and their football coach, they are still inside the caves, but the authorities say they are safe. as borisjohnson criticises theresa

may's brexit proposal, support from michael gove who says the plans are realistic, but the uk should be prepared. if the eu is not flexible we may
