you're watching beyond one hundred days. donald trump asks nato countries to increase their spending on defence to 4% of gdp. that's almost double the current target and even america doesn't spend that much on its military. it can only be described as a rocky nato summit with mr trump sowing division and european allies trying to project unity. moscow, england, croatia — need we say more? all eyes on the world cup semi final that's kicking off right now and all of england praying for victory. iam i am life in moscow overlooking the luzhniki stadium. they have kicked off, millions worldwide will be watching and also france who are waiting for the winners. also on the programme. pictures are released of the thai football team recovering in hospital, as more details emerge of the delicate operation to rescue them from the flooded caves. and by royal assent, football is coming home according to prince harry. is football coming home? most definitely!

hello, i'm katty kay in washington — christian fraser is in london. in the dark days after 9/11 nato countries came to america's side and attacked afghanistan. 17 years later thousands are still fighting there. today president trump called that alliance delinquent and asked members to double their defence spending. it was a bruising start to a summit that's trying to project unity in the face of russian aggression. in the hours since, mr trump has played a little nicer. after slamming germany as "totally controlled by russia", the president said he and angela merkel hav good relationship." if the messaging is confusing, the sentiment is not. mr trump is putting the 70 year old security alliance under enormous pressure — something mr putin undoubtedly delights in. here's our europe editor katya adler. such careful choreography.

not showy, but precise. disciplined detail at this opening ceremony for the nato summit. nato boasts that it's in control and ready to take on modern—day threat. cybercrime, cross—border terror. concerns about russia. but there's one big element here that nato can't control, donald trump. the man who openly scolds his allies, who speaks warmly of the presidents of russia and north korea, and who clearly wants to upend the workings of this decades—old alliance. newsreel: the north atlantic defence committee composed of the 12 atlantic pact nations, meets for the first time... nato, the north atlantic alliance, was set up to guarantee european security after the horrors of world war ii. thank you. the united states has always been the groups most powerful member. but donald trump now demands european countries pay their way.

you know, we're protecting germany, we're protecting france, we're protecting everybody and yet we're paying a lot of money to protect. i think it's very unfair to our country, it's very unfair to our tax payers. then this astonishing, blistering attack on nato ally germany, for its plan to build a pipeline with russia. but germany is totally controlled by russia. because they will be getting from 60 to 70% of their energy from russia and i think that's very inappropriate. for her part, the german chancellor was mentally prepared today for a ding—dong with donald trump. he has attacked her before over trade and nato spending and now her country's admittedly controversial energy deals with russia. water off a duck‘s back, was the subtext of her response. germany makes its own decisions and decides its own politics, she said. so is nato, the cornerstone of european security,

falling apart before our eyes? n ot exa ctly. the us is more involved than ever in nato missions and donald trump blows hot as well as cold when it comes to the alliance. beset by problems at home, the prime minister came here determined not to trip up. at least when it came to president trump. we're announcing today that we will be deploying an additional 440 personnel to nato's resolute support mission in afghanistan and i think that shows when nato calls, the uk is one of the first to step up. the right honourable theresa may... just for good measure, theresa may also underlined that the uk was paying its way when it comes to military spending. nato leaders are off now for dinner where they will keep talking and possibly arguing. a big question donald trump's allies have for him is about his one—to—one meeting with russian president vladimir putin next week. katya adler, bbc news, brussels. let's cross now to our chief international

correspondent lyse doucet who is following the summit from the nato headquarters in brussels. give us some context, what kind of a day has this been for the future of this alliance? it is a lovely evening in brussels, the temperature is wonderfully cool, but as we heard president trump has been blowing hot and blowing cold. starting off the date with what has been described as the most shocking exchange in nato and its 70 year history taking and nato ally to task: germany are ca ptives nato ally to task: germany are captives of russia. and hours later he is charming angela merkel talking about their great relationship. then as he goes into dinner he then tweets again calling on all nato members to immediately meet their 2%

commitment to gdp while all the while and private thing actually it should be double that at 4%. while and private thing actually it should be double that at 496. he has gone quiet on twitter through the afternoon because they're not allowed to take their phones into the meeting room but since coming out and on his way to dinner he has treated and this is what he says. what good is nato if germany is paying russia billions of dollars for gas and energy. he has been focusing on what the germans paid to the russians today and he says that that undermines the alliance. that tweet is actually extraordinary even by his standards because that is how he started the day and in between that there has been a communique in which all 29 member states including the united states have all signed up for sweeping new steps, defensive steps they describe them as to take on the russian threat. and there was

that press conference after talks with angela merkel in which he said they had had tremendous talks. then he goes back to twitter and says exactly the same thing, that he started the day with, criticising the gas that germany is dying from russia, a private deal which is why germany does not want to get into it and as angela merkel said they are and as angela merkel said they are an independent country and can make their own decisions about that. again repeating that 2% full stops and he seems to be sticking to that message. and it's going to tell you, england have scored in the world cup in the first seven minutes. more on that in just in the first seven minutes. more on that injust a in the first seven minutes. more on that in just a second. joining me now in the studio is former us secretary of defense william cohen. i know will be rooting for england! so donald trump could've gone to brussels and said look what i have achieved, i have got everyone to

increase their spending, which he has, by being tough on nato members but instead had this extraordinary spectacle of the american president effectively saying what good is this alliance? he has perfected i think the art of the insult, not the art of the deal and his diplomacy is by humiliation, i think it is important to tell european allies who have not done enough, not meeting your obligation and we need this organisation, it remains vital. but instead he publicly demean the various leaders of the nato alliance, undercutting it and the only person to cheer about this is vladimir putin. i'm sure he's raking up vladimir putin. i'm sure he's raking up in the vodka today as we speak because he has had the goal of undermining the eu, undermining nato, coming back onto the playing field as a leader. he is now in syria and trying to bring russian

influence back. he wants to reconstitute the soviet union or the soviet empire under the russian flag. statements like this help him, they do not hurt president putin, they do not hurt president putin, they help him. so it is important i think to raise the issues but do it privately, the art of diplomacy is to meet privately with heads of state and other leaders and then come out and say we have reached an accord, we have our differences but we are together. nato is critically important to the american national security but when you undermine other leaders of publicly criticise them is set in motion and resentment on the part of the civilians, the constituents of each leader so when it comes time for angela merkel to increase defence spending they say wait a increase defence spending they say waita minute, increase defence spending they say wait a minute, why should we do this for president trump. it tends to undermine the relationship and so i think is important to insist that they do more to privately. but at

they do more to privately. but at the same time we have reports that the same time we have reports that the president has asked nato members to spend 4% of gdp on defence spending and not even the us spend that much. is that even possible in this climate? well as you say he may be making it harderfor these leaders to go back to the people and ask for that. they have been moving towards the 2%, we note that the individual countries are making much more of a commitment, there with us in afghanistan, with us on september the 11th, the french infarct article five on behalf of the nato membership. and so this whole notion that if you have not paid at your out, it is is not a social club, it isa out, it is is not a social club, it is a military organisation and you can do more but do not measure that just by the 2% or the 4%, it is not what you put in but what you put

out. some of these countries do not have a big budget that they may have great intelligence or special forces, they may have other waste to contribute to our security and by being deployed to nato, having a 29 membership, we are deploying and extending our perimeter of defence and that is something we need to keepin and that is something we need to keep in mind. nato is as relevant today as ever before. so a force multiplier? well the french ambassador to london when i spoke to him a couple of days ago he said is not necessarily about the money. they sacrificed a lot and probably in fact spend more at the moment than any other nato members. so is it necessarily about the money? no, it necessarily about the money? no, it is about the commitment. money is one factor you take into account but

i would look at germany by way of example, singled out for witticism but they have taken in a million refugees from the middle east. president clinton has bombed civilian areas, he has supported the assad regime using poisonous gas on innocent civilians. according to former supreme allied commander in europe he has weaponised these refugees to destabilise parts of europe. when you take into account what germany is doing plus being a base for our forces to deploy from there, they do quite a bit. i think they need to do more and the president is right to insist they do more but i do not agree with the optics and how you publicly browbeat someone so you can tell you a base that come you have been tough. and tell president putin, singled a tough guy i am. it has been a day of

extraordinary images coming out of brussels for the words of the president about breakfast meeting, meant to be a performer photograph of them getting together and then he harangued germany and nato with the secretary general sitting there but through the course of the date is seeming to be out of step, visually as much as anything else, with his nato allies. if you are a student body as you know i am, this was fascinating. there is billy no mates at the back of the group, angela merkel striding out front with all the europeans harrying after her then in comes donald trump with the turkish president and you get this feeling they were trying to avoid his gaze today in case he shouted to present at them put up then this awkward moment with angela merkel turning up in the same colour as theresa may and then they all stand like chess pieces three feet apart from one another which really does not give you the sense that there is

great solidarity there. this is the picture that to me something up, talk about one man looking at a different way to the rest! badger speaks a thousand words. what are they looking at and what is he looking at? they're looking at 2% and he's looking at 4% perhaps! i think it is time to put viewers out of their misery. it is 1— nil to england in the foot all. we should have a celebration flash with champagne bottles! a very good start. if you have been living under a rock you will know england are playing croatia right now. in their first world cup semi—final match in 28 years.

football fever has ta ken over the country. wimbledon is allowing fans to watch the match on their phones, british airways is giving special briefings on what position to adopt in case of penalties, and shops are promising to shut early on sunday if they make it through. christian meanwhile will be on a flight to helsinki. football is coming home and i'm on my way to helsinki! you could just lie via moscow. so how are england getting on? 0lly foster is in moscow for us. you were talking about body language about nato summit and the positive language in the england dugout, the england players, they've made a

dream start. first international goalfor kieran dream start. first international goal for kieran trippier, he's one of those players that has absolutely grown into this world cup and he curled a beauty of a free kick into the top right—hand corner of the croatian goal put up it was dele alli his spurs team—mate who had been fouled and during trippier stepped up. many people drawing comparison with the david beckham suchis comparison with the david beckham such is his right foot. that was straight out of the david beckham textbook and he has given england the lead inside five minutes here at the lead inside five minutes here at the luzhniki stadium. a world cup semifinal, france waiting for the winners of this and of course you are talking about going back a long way to the last time england were a world cup semifinal. the tears of chewing in italia 90. those missed penalties. and you have to go back a lot longer before you get to the last england world cup final in 1966. but it is looking very good at

the moment, england just very controlled against this croatia team who have played half an hour more football because they've come through to the penalty shoot out in the last couple of france compared to england and their one. where is your wednesday waistcoat? lost in the post! i was not buying into that, i thought i mightjinx it, they've been doing so well without me getting in fancy dress. waistcoat wednesday is a thing and we've seen pictures of all the fans. the players are pictures of all the fans. the players a re really pictures of all the fans. the players are really engaging with this and they know that there is this and they know that there is this weight of support behind them. and gareth southgate just smiles and lets it all wash over him. just muted celebration when kieran trippier but that —— but that goal

in. we are stilljust seven minutes m, in. we are stilljust seven minutes in, 70 minutes in so a great start. there could of course be croatian fa ns there could of course be croatian fans watching and commiserations to them. and this is a cracking croatia team, this is not going to be an easy match. big screens have gone up around the country where football fans can watch the match— and drink beer together. richard askham is in manchester and noel phillips is in southgate in north london. there he is in north london. are you behind the bar? they are watching the game from behind the bar and there is a reason for that because during the game today, to 10 million of these will be bought in pubs and bars across the country. so it gives you a sense of how big the world cup

is, the business for pubs and clubs across the country and as you mentioned that goal in the fifth minute sent a lot of people here jumping around and embracing each other put up people are excited and hoping the man of the moment gareth southgate will allow his boys to bring football home. hence the waistcoat because it is waistcoat wednesday today. you may be changing my mind! looks pretty good. not sure you could pull it off, christian! is it full in their question that it is, we're going to have a quick word with a very big england fan called jeff. very quickly how is the game going? fantastic, i'mjust nervous going? fantastic, i'mjust nervous

going in to the 80 minutes that i left. it is a different team, this is england. let's have it! if that does not show you how passionate people are here and i do not know what will. our people are talking about sunday and the final? they are andi about sunday and the final? they are and i think that there is a sense of let's be really quiet and keep our fingers crossed and just hope the boys deliver. that they get through the next 60 minutes or so and bring football home but i think people do feel that the time is long overdue and that football should come back home. i think at the moment a lot of people are on the edge of their seats watching with a lot of anticipation. and the score so far remains1— anticipation. and the score so far remains 1— nil. anticipation. and the score so far remains 1- nil. i wonder anticipation. and the score so far remains 1- nil. iwonder how anticipation. and the score so far remains 1- nil. i wonder how many are talking about the summit in helsinki? what do you think? i'm

just going to keep going straight to russia for the final! let's move on. 0ther russia for the final! let's move on. other news. police have spoken briefly with novichok poisoning victim charlie rowley — who's regained consciousness. they're trying to find the source of the nerve agent which made the 45—year—old man seriously ill and killed his partner. dawn sturgess, 44, was also exposed to novichok in amesbury on 30 june and died on sunday. at least 179 people have died in floods and landslides triggered by torrential rain in western japan. downpours triggered mudslides and left homes flooded — hiroshima and 0kayama were among the worst affected areas. it is the highest death toll caused by rainfall that japan has seen in more than three decades. yesterday the last boys came out of the cave in thailand — today they cheerfully waved

for cameras from their hospital beds. it's understood the boys were heavily sedated ahead of the rescue to prevent them panicking in the dark, underwater passageways. they were then strapped to the rescue divers tasked with shepherding each boy through the system, and finally put onto stretchers and carried through the dry parts. lucy williamson reports from northern thailand. these are the luckiest boys in thailand. still weak, still in quarantine, these pictures the first we've seen since a rescue diver filmed them huddled together in the cave. their schoolboy poses for the camera hiding the miracle that they are here at all. what happened here at the cave over the past two weeks inspired horror, then awe, and now curiosity. a dozen boys who couldn't dive or even swim, trapped two miles inside the cave. rescuers said the biggest risk was that they would simply panic. so how did they get them out? the incredible story

of their rescue from tham luang is onlyjust emerging. this is the first footage of the mission itself. each boy wrapped in a special kind of stretcher and carried along by hand. in parts of the cave where it was impossible to stand, rescuers built a complex system of pulleys to transport them out. and where it was flooded, scuba divers strapped the children underneath them and carried them through. a feat described by one rescuer as superhuman. several sources have told the bbc the boys were sedated during the journey. watch his arm. not unusual for normal mountain rescues, experts say, but much riskier with children and scuba diving conditions. you have to believe. we think that our plan is perfect. we try and try and try. we test and test and test. it's ok. and you've got the best team so you have to believe them. leaving from chiang rai airport

tonight, the british cave diver who starred in the rescue denied he was a hero. it's not like that. if you could do the same for someone else's child, you would. i hope. but what most people see when they look at the rescuers and the boys is the most incredible show of courage from one, from the other, incredible trust. lucy williamson, bbc news, chiang rai. amazing images and great to see them doing so well. just time to show you a clip of prince harry and the duchess of sussex on a royal visit to the republic of ireland, during which they were asked the all important question jst a warning, there is some flash photography in this clip. is football coming home? most definitely! most definitely! he has obviously sent a message through to the team

because they are still 1— nil up for the manual macron is going to go to the manual macron is going to go to the game to watch france play but theresa may is not due to the novichok poisoning. so if they do get through to the final there would be no government representation there. i do not think it will affect their performance one little bit. this is beyond 100 days from the bbc. coming up for viewers on the bbc news channel and bbc world news — while there's tension at the nato summit, there's disbelief in china as the white house threatens further tariffs — the trade war escalates. and how to keep calm and carry on when football world cup glory is at stake. that's still to come. hello, the weather has been playing

ball today across england and wales with plenty of dry weather with some decent sunshine out and about. fine weather to enjoy. this is the scene in shropshire. further north and west we've had a weather front across scotland and northern ireland bringing bigger clout and some patchy outbreaks of rain. but generally turning light yesterday has gone by. through this evening and overnight still some doubt whether times across western areas of scotland, down into antrim and hunted down. not amounting to much ina way hunted down. not amounting to much in a way of rain across england and wales it stays dry. temperature is not too bad overnight, a little warmer across southern wales. currently 17 degrees which is on the warm side. tomorrow we have changes in the weather, still quite cloudy across scotland and northern ireland but gradually turning brighter with some sunshine. but across the western side of england and for

wales as well we're likely to see showers developing. that will also affect parts of dumfries & galloway. these could turn out to be happy with some rumbles of thunder heading into the afternoon. into south—east england probably not many showers here and so are largely dry picture across these eastern areas. and temperatures just rising by couple of degrees on today with highs of 26 in london. showers and thunderstorms getting a little more active as we head into friday, they could cause some problems. showers are always a hit and miss in nature, one of the big drivers for the showers is the sea breeze moving in from the coast. that means most of the showers are across south—west england, central southern england and central parts of wales. those thunderstorms looked to be really active and we could have 20 millimetres of rain in the space of an hour. but that amount of rain ina space of an hour. but that amount of rain in a short space of time can bring the risk of localised surface

water flooding. bring the risk of localised surface waterflooding. heading into the weekend we have low pressure to the north—west, south—westerly wind and generally a lot of fine and dry weather to come. temperatures boosted day by day. highs reaching 29, perhaps 30 degrees in the warmest spots through the weekend. goodbye for now. this is beyond 100 days with me, katty kay in washington, christian fraser is in london. our top stories... at war with nato — donald trump turns on his allies and accuses germany of being totally controlled by russia. football fans all around the uk have their fingers crossed as england lead croatia 1—0 in the world cup semi—final. coming up in the next half hour... the trade dispute between the united states and china deepens. as president trump threatens further tariffs, beijing says it has no choice but to retaliate. recovering well... the first pictures of the thai football team in hospital and new details are released about the complexity of the rescue operation. let us know your thoughts by using the hashtag #beyond100days.

president trump castigated berlin at breakfast this morning for spending billions on russian oil and gas, yet falling far short of the spending target nato has set to help defend europe from russia. russia sells more gas to germany than any other european country. the nord stream pipeline passes under the baltic sea and supplies germany with more than half of its total gas imports. now, with the construction of a second pipeline — nord stream two, russia aims to double its exports to europe. rebutting the accusations, the german chancellor angela merkel reminded mr trump that she grew up in east germany under soviet control and is very glad a united germany can now make its own decisions. she also highlighted germany's troop contributions to nato and its increased defence spending. we'rejoined now from berlin by the german mep 0laf henkel, who is vice—chair of

the european conservatives and reformists. good to see you. does germany spend enough on its military? no, it doesn't. there is no question that oi'i doesn't. there is no question that on this particular point of trump is right. however, one shouldn't forget that germany spends not as much as the united states, but we spend everything on the north atlantic alliance, whereas, of course, the united states has additional interests, the pacific and the indian ocean and so on. you cannot really compare that. but let me say that his allegation that germany is controlled by russia is absolutely ludicrous and i think he just wants to deflect from the fact that many people in his own country, and perhaps myself, think he is controlled by putin. given how much

money germany spends on age, is there an historical reticence because of what happened in the second world war and first world war to spend many macron defence, is it not publicly public? absolutely. i think spending on military is much less popular in my country than others, which is understandable, of course, for historical reasons. but we cannot on one hand admitted that germany attacked in two world was their neighbours, and no say that because we did it we now want to be defended by our neighbours. i think thatis defended by our neighbours. i think that is not fair, that is why i think trump is right, we should increase our budget for defence. it is much less than not only the united states but even as compared to poland, france or the uk. united states but even as compared to poland, france orthe uk. i united states but even as compared to poland, france or the uk. i think it is unfairto to poland, france or the uk. i think it is unfair to our neighbours. but let me add another aspect... go

ahead. the total amount of money which one spends for international responsibilities, germany is much ahead of the united states. we spend i'iow ahead of the united states. we spend now for the first time 0.7% of our gmp ford aid for developing nations. the united states, 0.1%, so we should put this in the equation as well. let me ask you about mr trump's specific allegation that the nato summit today that germany is being hypocritical, doing trade deals with russia and at the same time asking the united states to provide a security umbrella. is he correct? i think he mixes of two things which have nothing to do with each other, that is why i must say he is not correct in putting it together. on the other hand, we spend not enough on defence and i

think the german government is well advised to increase its current plans, which is only fair to the others. we should not only listen to trump, we should listen to poland, the baltic states, who are opposing this project. we don't really need a second pipeline, the first is only utilised for about 50% and we don't need a second one and the declaration of the government of germany to say that this pipeline is an economic project is wrong, it is an economic project is wrong, it is a political project. i should say trump is right, we should call this project. by the way, i don't know whether your viewers know that, the former chancellor gerhard schroeder was instrumental in negotiating with the russians the first pipeline. a few weeks after he lost his job as chancellor of germany he became one of putin's employees, managing nord

stream two... nord stream one. he is a political adviser to putin, which i think it is scandalous. the project should be called off. thank you very much forjoining us from berlin, olaf henkel. contrary to what donald trump tells us, it would seem trade wars are not that easy to win. not that he is backing down. quite the reverse. the white house has just threatened new tarrifs on $200 billion of chinese goods. beijing said it is shocked at the scale of the latest proposals and is considering how it will retaliate. so is this now a trade war? the new york times has composed this timeline — starting in january, when the us first imposed tariffs on washing machines and solar panels. each blue dot represents a product, the size of the dot reflects how much was imported into the united states in 2017. in march, new duties were imposed on steel and aluminium — which the eu, canada and mexico were initially exempt from. in april, china responded with tariffs of its own on

$3 billion worth of american products. those orange dots on the rights are us exports. the eu soon retaliated — slapping duties on $7.1 billion worth of us goods. canada followed suit... then mexico... in mid—june, the us imposed further tarrifs on $50 billion of chinese goods, they came into effect last friday. china has since responded in kind but this is how it might escalate further, with donald trump now proposing tariffs on a further 6000 chinese products — worth $200 billion. if the chinese don't back down he says he has plans for a further $200 billion on top of that. and joining us now is yukon huang from the carnegie endowment, he was formerly the world bank's country director for china and has just returned from beijing. i spoke to you earlier during the course of the year and you advocated caution on the idea that this could

bea caution on the idea that this could be a trade spat which could escalate into a trade war. when you look at those figures, what do you think? we are very close, another $200 billion punitive tariffs on china mean we are in the midst of a trade war, not just between the us and china. those $200 million of products involve components produced everywhere, including europe, east asia and even the united states, so the whole world will be drawn in. how will china retaliate? they have a trade war which is necessary in many ways, because everyone loses. is inevitable because both the united states and china feel the objective is bothjust states and china feel the objective is both just aren't worth fighting for and they both have the resources to do so, which is why china will likely retaliate. 20 or 30 years ago there was a trade war between the us and japan, japan did not retaliate, they adhered to the recommendations of policies the us wanted and it

essentially pushed japan into a slow economic decline which has never re cove red. economic decline which has never recovered. mr huang, it is on everything from handbags to textiles, fish to petroleum. there isa textiles, fish to petroleum. there is a real risk it will boomerang back on him and cast his vote is a lot of money? i think so. peshmerga and cast his voters a lot of money. the first fort york $50 billion, many of those are not even chinese made, they come from other countries, so those tariffs hit both european and east asian producers more than chinese. now you are spreading renta consumer goods, rogic made solely by chinese factories using chinese materials, but which are largely for medical class consumption in the united states. when those prices rise you can feel a political pressure in the united states. is there an argument

to be made from the president's point of view that i am very concerned about trades deficit with china and about jobs concerned about trades deficit with china and aboutjobs being lost to china. those were exactly the things he heard cheering the cause of his campaign which she wanted addressed, thatis campaign which she wanted addressed, that is what he doing? he was responding to his political base, but things have changed in the last month or so. the white house is not arguing about trade deficits or jobs, it is talking about china's investment practices being unfair. we are having punitive tariffs and trade goods that the issue is not really about trading any more, it is china's unfair investment practices. it does not make sense to use tariffs to be addressing investment issues, why not address them directly? thank you for coming in, yukon huang. there is lots of criticism from farm

states like west virginia and wisconsin, places where he only won bya wisconsin, places where he only won by a slender margin? about this is the one area where the republican party is still standing up to donald trump. there was a non-binding resolution passed by 19 senators to two in favour of wanting the white house to go to congress if the white house to go to congress if the white house was to use the argument that it was imposing tariffs because of national security reasons, which is the argument the white house has used, particularly in the case of canada and europe. this is not a republican party that will give up being a free—trade party very easily. they don't like cantering donald trump that in the case of trade they are prepared to do so. the us government has just missed a deadline to reunite migrant children under the age five with their parents from whom they were separated at the mexican border. they have 102 under the age of five

in care but government officials have admitted they are struggling to reunite the families. i think four have gone back. authorities had said they would reunite 34 families before this week's deadline, but there has been no confirmation that the children made it back to their parents. government officials have also said that 27 children are not eligible to go back to their parents for a number of what have been called legitimate logistical impediments. for 12 toddlers the reason is that their parents have already been deported and authorities now can't locate them. some parents who have gone through the immigration procedures say they don't know how to get in touch with their children. one of the complications is that officials are having to conduct dna tests on children to ensure they are reunited with the right parents. our north america correspondent aleem maqbool, who has been covering this story for us, joins me now. how did this and then this position

where you had parents being separated allow the authorities are not ina separated allow the authorities are not in a position where can even track them down and try to unite them even if they wanted to? you get a sense by speaking to some of the parents whom it happened to, and the circumstances around which their children were taken from them, the fa ct children were taken from them, the fact they were rounded up in large groups, told to set their children oi'i groups, told to set their children on the floor and then officers swooped in and took the children away. in most of those cases, because what happened and this new ruling, the zero—tolerance policy, was instead ofjust going to immigration detention, they were prosecuted as well. affidavits were written for all of these parents. the fact they had children was not even included. they were going to their lawyers, immigration lawyers who did not even know they had come in with children. they had been given receipts for some of the belongings taking from them, wallets and so on, but nothing for their

children. the fact there was an executive order signed by donald trump certainly does not mean the story is over. many people have moved on from the initial outrage but we are talking about the 102 children under five, but more than 2000 children separated from their parents and so few have as yet been reunited with their parents. katty explain to me earlier, aleem, that some of the adults... of course adults go to the system much quicker than children, they have gone back so they may be in mexico or honduras, their children might be in the united states and it will be devilishly difficult for them to get the help they need to get the children back? it is notjust some parents who have been deported, a handful of children have been deported without their

parents. whether they are abroad or still in this country, we have met some of the parents who are in this desperate situation where they have been released but with no information about where their children are. they may have had their prosecution ended, they may be released and be with a host family still in immigration detention, so to speak, they have ankle bracelets and so on, but they are going through a process which they have been told could take months to reunite them in one case of a mother, i met a child of six and of course we know there are many much younger who have been separated from parents. what has been pretty disturbing about this story, as well as the siri —— as well as the secrecy surrounding things, when journalists are asking for facts and figures or access to centres in which hundreds of children are being detained, that is being denied and even senators and congressmen are not being allowed into detention centres, if they have been named at all. there is so rich secrecy

surrounding this, which many people have found very disturbing. aleem maqbool, thank you. great reporting. you can be given a receipt for your wallet by us customs office apps but not a receipt for your child and thatis not a receipt for your child and that is how we have ended up in this position. —— you can be given a receipt of your wallet by us customs officers. a little known sexually transmitted infection could become the next superbug unless people become more vigilant, experts are warning. mycoplasma genitalium — or mg — often has no symptoms but can cause pelvic inflammatory disease, which can leave some women infertile. mg can be missed — and if it is not treated correctly, it can develop resistance to antibiotics. it's been revealed that the top 12 earners on the bbc‘s latest list of star salaries are all white men. match of the day's gary lineker, who earned over 1£.75 million in 2017—18, has overtaken chris evans at the top of the list. this one is not on that list, just to stress! roger federer is out of wimbledon.

he was beaten by the world number seven — the south african kevin anderson — in a five set thriller. anderson's into his first wimbledon semifinal after taking federer to a long tie—breaker in the fifth set. greatest tennis as well as great football! this is beyond 100 days. still to come... if only we could be a fly on the wall of that dressing room! how can england football manager gareth southgate prepare his team to keep their cool as they go into the second half of the world cup semi—final — their biggest football match in 28 years? they are still 1—0 ahead. we'll be speaking to a sports psychologist. facebook is to be fined a record £500,000 — the maximum amount possible — by the information commissioner over its misuse of data. the regulator has been investigating how the details of tens of millions of users ended up in the hands of the political consultancy cambridge analytica. ? our technology correspondent rory cellanjones has this report. personal data. a vital new weapon in election campaigns.

but now the information commissioner has found its been misused and a social media giant is facing a record fine. the data of 87 million facebook users was harvested by the now—defunct political consultancy cambridge analytica. the half—a—million pound fine for allowing that to happen will hardly make a dent in the social media giants profits, but the watchdog says the penalty is still significant. it sends a very strong message to facebook and other online platforms about what is expected of them and that the regulator will step in with sanctions. this report shows just how much of our data can potentially end up being used for political purposes. it's not just about your facebook details, every time you interact with a credit reference agency or even a mother and baby club, your data could be sold to a political party. the information commissioner is planning to fine emma's diary, a service for mums to be, for passing the data

of1 million people to the labour party. the company says it doesn't agree with the regulator's findings. labour insists the party has done nothing wrong. there is no suggestion that the labour party has behaved unlawfully. all 11 political parties have been contacted by the information commissioner and asked to review their policies. the watchdog is also looking into whether the leave.eu campaign founded by aaron banks may have used data from his motor insurance business for political purposes. this enquiry has some way to run. rory cellan—jones, bbc news. we're at half time in the football game. it is1-0, it is 1—0, still. and a big part of gareth southgate's job in the next 15 minutes will be to keep his young team focussed on the job at hand. how does he keep them calm?

what would you be saying if you were gareth southgate? it is a game of two halves, you need to keep it tight. we are very pleased with how solid we have been at the back, keep it up and scores more goals. i think that will probably do it, get us through to the second half. olly foster, that is the football interview i have seen over the yea rs, interview i have seen over the years, how did i do? that was very like winston churchill, that would really pump them up at half—time extra measure of maybe i have a future in football management explanation keep playing how they are playing. croatia trying to get back into it but it is that beautiful kieran trippier three kick which sees england's leading a world cup semifinali—o at which sees england's leading a world cup semifinal 1—0 at half—time. they are 45 minutes away from world cup

final. i are 45 minutes away from world cup final. lam are 45 minutes away from world cup final. i am giving myself goose bumpsjust final. i am giving myself goose bumps just saying that. it will be a very tough second—half. real heart in the mouth stuff. just up the half—time whistle. the referee got the players to pause, they looked var, the users to referee, to see of harry maguire had fouled agent lovre n harry maguire had fouled agent lovren from a free kick. he had not. so they went in for their half—time cup of tea and slice of orange. drama! we will keep checking in with you, ollie. thank you. mental resilience is key. for me, anyway! to help us think through what that entails we have with us veteran sports psyhcologist amanda owens, who has worked with football teams, olympians, and she is herself a former international tennis player. so you know what it is like in the cut and thrust of competition. when you are winning, you go in and have time to think how close you are to the world cup final, what do you need to focus on? about what they are doing right now, keeping calm,

managing emotions in a positive way and focusing on how they are playing well and what they are doing. the first half was superb, the goal was incredible, the composure was incredible. he used to play for burnley, we taught him or he knows and now he has scored in a world cup semifinal! this is a young team, does that help? do they go into a match like this with less feeling than a much older croatian team? gareth has developed a really resilient team, they have learned how to win under pressure, that has really, really impressed me. and the fa ct really, really impressed me. and the fact they are managing emotions really well. but the mental resilience and the fact they are younger, hungry, there is a real pride and sense of unity i have never seen pride and sense of unity i have neverseen in an pride and sense of unity i have never seen in an england world cup team. for fans who might have butterflies might be presenting programmes while trying to watch at the same time, what is your advice

to the fans watching at half—time? to really enjoy the game, look at the positives are not get too distressed. let's be sensible, some really good tweets are going around, we have a fantastic manager who is acting with dignity and being very humble, ithink acting with dignity and being very humble, i think whatever the result today, let's be very proud of our england team because they have performed brilliantly. it is remaining calm. of course everyone will be... they are very nervous, i have never seen london quite like it. so how is dead! is it?! we are looking at pictures of fans celebrating around the country as trippier scored. is there a difference... if england were to win this semifinal and go into the final, what mental adjustment with the team had to make? that's a really good question. i think they need to stick to what they are doing, which is what southgate is

working with with the team. it is about not focusing on being in a world cup final, i think that could be quite negative and destructive to the focus. it is focusing on what they are doing well, how they are doing it and not focusing too much under pressure. will you watch the second half. 0h, under pressure. will you watch the second half. oh, yes. thank you for coming in. noel is in the pub, have you come out from behind the bar?! yes, and! you come out from behind the bar?! yes, and i have found terry who was wearing a waistcoat. terry the butler in his waistcoat. he has a wine opener in his pocket. it gives you a sense of how people are embracing gareth southgate and the new waistcoat trends. they are quite handy, you can keep a pocket watch ora handy, you can keep a pocket watch or a bottle opener in your pocket, maybe your england season ticket! what else have you got in your

pocket? anything else? he has a mobile phone. i don't believe in having one of them. i want to know what noel has in his pockets? we are doing a whole segment on waistcoat pockets. this is a brand-new waistcoat, i have not had a chance to open the pockets at all! nothing at all is in my pockets! you use to keep your chalk in that for the snookerfinal? well keep your chalk in that for the snooker final? well done, keep your chalk in that for the snookerfinal? well done, noel, thank you for keeping us posted on what is going on at the pub. fingers crossed for the second half. with you watch it, katty? i am going straight from here, i will sprint home and watch it with my oldest son, felix, who is keeping me in touch by text the whole way through. what will you be doing? watch the second half and plan for tomorrow, we will be at blenheim tomorrow,

donald trump is in the uk, he will be ata donald trump is in the uk, he will be at a dinner with business leaders in the uk, we will bring you the programme from there and we will follow him on friday when he meets the queen at windsor, as katty knows well. see you tomorrow, goodbye. hello, the weather has been playing ball today across england and wales with plenty of dry weather and some decent sunshine out and about. fine weather to enjoy. this is the scene in shropshire. further north and west we've had a weather front across scotland and northern ireland bringing bigger cloud and some patchy outbreaks of rain. but generally turning lighter as the day has gone by. through this evening and overnight still some cloud across western areas of scotland, down into antrim and down. not amounting to much in the way of rain across england and wales, it stays dry.

temperatures not too bad overnight, a little warmer across southern wales. currently 17 degrees which is on the warm side. tomorrow we have changes in the weather, still quite cloudy across scotland and northern ireland but gradually turning brighter with some sunshine. but across the western side of england and for wales as well we're likely to see showers developing. that will also affect parts of dumfries & galloway. these could turn out to be heavy with some rumbles of thunder heading into the afternoon. into south—east england probably not many showers here and so a largely dry picture across these eastern areas. and temperatures just rising by couple of degrees on today with highs of 26 in london. showers and thunderstorms getting a little more active as we head into friday, they could cause some problems. showers are always hit and miss in nature, one of the big drivers for the showers is the sea breezes moving in from the coast. that means most of the showers are across south—west england,

central southern england and central parts of wales. those thunderstorms look to be really active and we could have 20 millimetres of rain in the space of an hour. but that amount of rain in a short space of time can bring the risk of localised surface water flooding. heading into the weekend we have low pressure to the north—west, south—westerly wind and generally a lot of fine and dry weather to come. temperatures boosted day by day. highs reaching 29, perhaps 30 degrees in the warmest spots through the weekend. goodbye for now. this is bbc news, i'm shaun ley. the headlines at 8pm. england take the lead in their world cup semifinal against croatia — scoring a goal in the first five minutes. fans in hyde park — and across the uk — go wild after a stunning start for england. consternation at nato headquarters as us president donald trump says allies must increase spending on defence.
