welcome back to turnberry. donald trump has flown in, at prestwick airport and has been making his way in his motorcade forces golf resort which he owns. the trump organisation bought in 2014 and this is just organisation bought in 2014 and this isjust a organisation bought in 2014 and this is just a continuation of what he likes to do when he is in the us. he often spends his weekends in his resort mara lago in florida and he is spending this weekend at this resort on the west coast of scotland. he has got plenty group to reflect on after a very busy nato‘s summitand a reflect on after a very busy nato‘s summit and a busy day here in the uk. meeting theresa may and also meeting the queen. this has been called a working visit not a state visit but there have been times when it seemed that way. the queen welcome donald and melania trump at windsor castle in the middle of the afternoon. before
9:31 pm
that, he had been at checkers, the prime minister theresa may's country retreat. president trump had given to the sun, particularly around the issues of brexit but they also stressed the special relationship between the two countries. i had just been mentioning, donald trump has arrived in scotland. here he is, getting off from air force one and waiting to step in to the to drive him to term or eight and there is also been protests in scotland. these are pictures from class go a little bit earlier when lots of people turned out to say first of all they did not want donald trump in scotland and second of all they objected to some of the policies he has pursued since he has been in the white house. a multifaceted day that is certainly true at mr trump's day has been dominated in the interview he gave to the sun. it had three key point. 0ne he gave to the sun. it had three key point. one is if theresa may's
9:32 pm
current negotiations continue, that will kill off any prospect of the spoke us uk trade deal. he also said he had told theresa may how to approach brexit but she had ignored him. and he seemed to disapprove of that. and lastly, he mentioned boris johnson could make up great prime minister. borisjohnson johnson could make up great prime minister. boris johnson has just resigned because he does not a pro with theresa may's approach. that was a provocative thing to stay. inevitably, at their joint was a provocative thing to stay. inevitably, at theirjoint press conference. i said to the paper, the sun, and they seemed like two very nice people, but i said, theresa may is a... one of them is nice? but i said... the one sitting here. oh, good. where is that person? did i say nice things about theresa may, please? good? if you reported them, that is good. 0k. where? 0n the internet? i said very good things. thank you very much for saying that. i said very good things about her. i did not think they put it in, but that is all right.
9:33 pm
they did not put in the headline. i wish they had put that in the headline. that's one of those things. and she is a total professional, because when i saw her this morning, i said, i want to apologise because i said such good things about you. she said, don't worry. it's only the press. its white so that we have president from saying something was not an article which was an article. the quotes in the article are simply the quotes in the article are simply the quotes from the audio. we also witnessed to and interesting exchange with the president refused to ta ke exchange with the president refused to take a question from one of america's top news networks. unfortunately, there was a story that was done, which was generally find but it did not put in what i set about the prime minister and i said tremendous things. fortunately, we can to record stories now, so we have it for your enjoyment, if you would like it. but we record what we do with reporters. it's called fake news and we solve a lot of problems with good old recording instruments. see, that's such dishonest reporting, because of course it
9:34 pm
happens to be nbc, which is possibly worse than cnn. possibly. let me explain something. since you attacked cnn, can i ask you a question? john roberts, go ahead. can i ask you a question? no. john roberts, go ahead. cnn is fake news. i don't take questions. sir. i don't take questions from cnn. cnn is fake news. i don't take questions from cnn. john roberts of fox. let's go to a real network. we are real network too, sir. what met one of the curiosities of mr trump's visit is that he keeps visiting term worry in the part of brexit. 0ne visiting term worry in the part of brexit. one of the mistress he continues to say is that he was here intermarried the day before brexit and he predicted the brexit vote when in fact he was here in turmeric the day brexit. apologies for that
9:35 pm
clip. 0n the issue of brexit, with the sun, you'll read one position from donald trump and listen to what he said at the press conference and you'll hear something quite different. i also want to thank prime minister may for pursuing fair and reciprocal trade with the united states. once the brexit process is concluded, and perhaps the uk has left the eu, i don't know what they are going to do, but whatever you do is ok with me. that's your decision. whatever you're going to do is ok with us. just make sure we can trade together, that's all that matters. the united states looks forward to finalizing a great bilateral trade agreement with united kingdom. this is an incredible opportunity for our two countries and we will seize it fully. we support the decision of the british people to realise full self—government and we will see how that goes. very complicated negotiations and not an easy negotiation. that's for sure.
9:36 pm
what night it looks like the president has arrived here turnberry. across the field just behind me, and towards the main hotel at the turnberry golf resort. it isa hotel at the turnberry golf resort. it is a long shot but you can just about out some figures and a lot of activity and this is the president and his motorcade arriving and there isa and his motorcade arriving and there is a huge amount of activity. it is involved when the president of america arrives. the reason we cannot show you a better shot if this is a private weekend for the president. he does not have scheduled events. that is why we are just on the outskirts of it, but nonetheless, it looks like he has arrived and we will keep a close eye on that any information that we are getting from the white house press tea m getting from the white house press team as well. let's turn back to the press c0 nfe re nce team as well. let's turn back to the press conference earlier at checkers. the country retreat with
9:37 pm
donald trump. they were both asked about the special relationship which, when you read the sun newspaper, it was not looking special. let's hear from newspaper, it was not looking special. let's hearfrom the prime minister. she will do very well. i think she's a very tough negotiator. i have been watching her the last couple of days. she is tough negotiator. she is a very very smart and determined person. i can tell you, there are a lot of people that are looking up now, saying gee whiz, you know, she left a lot of people in her wake. she is a very smart, very tough, very capable person and i would much rather have her as my friend than my enemy. that i can tell you. that was not administered by donald trump talking about the prime minister. let's have one look across the turnberry resort and see what activities we can see. it is worth emphasising the focus of this visit for theresa may was around the
9:38 pm
bespoke trade deal, and what form of brexit is necessary for that deal to be done. that's what the controversy was around all day. if we step back from the issue and look at this trip more broadly, when donald trump went to nato, he was usually critical of the members who are not paying 2% of their gdp over defence yet. they are not obliged to but he would like them to do it now. he was stinging germany, saying it was in russia's pocket, because of the energy russia supplies to germany. he misspoke, but he wants to get his point across. and now he has given the interview to the sun, so everyone is looking at how he is behaving towards his european allies and then looking ahead to what happens on monday. he will meet vladimir putin in helsinki. vladimir putin, the leader of the country who its annexed crimea, part of ukraine in which the americans have sanctions
9:39 pm
in place against and everyone wants to see well if you are like this towards your western allies, how are you going to be towards russia? and of course the weekend, mr trump and his team will be deciding that. is not over yet. ross atkins in scotland. stay with us here on bbc world news. still to come, we'll have a round—up of all today's other news, including how the former prime minister of pakistan now was arrested on his return home after being convicted of corruption. while he was away. emergency services are stepping up.
9:40 pm
nearly 100 people have been killed. broadway is traditionally called the great white way for by americans but tonight it is completely blacked out. it is a time we remind her of all the problems the energy crisis have brought to them. 200 years ago today, a huge parisian crowd stormed the bastille prison. the first act of the resolution which was to topple the french monarchy. today, hundreds of thousands on the military parade. finally, penguins have been staggering ashore and collapsing after gorging on huge sheu collapsing after gorging on huge shell of their favourite food. some had eaten so much they could barely stand. the former prime minister of pakistan, nawaz sharif, has been arrested after returning to the country. he flew into the city of lahore, where thousands of people demonstrated in his support. he faces a ten yearjail term after being convicted
9:41 pm
of corruption earlier this month. speaking to the bbc during the journey, mr sharif said pakistan's upcoming elections lacked credibility because of what he called a crackdown by the government. 0ur south asia regional editor, anbarasan ethirajan, says their arrests are significant ahead of the country's july 25 vote. and sharif both travelled from london to lahore. as soon as they landed, the authorities first confiscated their passports. they were taken into custody as we speak. they are now being taken to islamabad, according to local media reports. this was expected but it created a lot of emotional scenes outside this airport, where thousands of supporters of sharif, his pakistan muslim league, now they are holding a big rally. many parts of lahore are locked down because the police have located some of the roads.
9:42 pm
there is a lot of tension there on what is going to happen next after he is sent to jail. the most important thing is all these things are happening just two weeks before the country's crucial election, the country is getting ready for this election. mr sharif cannot contest because he was barred from contesting elections in the corruption case. his party is contesting. there are many reasons why he came back, because first of all, if he wants to appeal against his sentencing, he needs to be present in the court and then asked the court to set aside this conviction and apply. since he is not campaigning, and many of his party officials hope it might trigger a sympathy way for his party in the coming election. counter terrorism detectives in britain investigating the contamination of two people by the nerve agent novichok believe they have found the source of the substance. dawn sturgess died in hospital on sunday after being exposed to the nerve agent.
9:43 pm
her partner, charlie rowley, remains in a serious conditon in hospital. 0ur correspondent duncan kennedy has the latest from salisbury, in the west of england. well, the news that they have found in this bottle came through from the metropolitan police late this afternoon. all they are saying is they found a small bottle at the house of charlie rowley in amesbury, and that the bottle was found on wednesday. they say the bottle was then taken to porton down, the research lab quite near to amesbury, and the tests have come back positive for novichok. and what the police are not saying is what sort of bottle it is, other than it is a small bottle, and nor are they saying where that bottle came from. did either dawn or charlie pick it up here in salisbury, perhaps by dawn's hostel here behind me or did they pick it up in amesbury or en route? they're not getting any further details on that. what they are also saying is they cannot guarantee that there is not more novichok in the area.
9:44 pm
they say that is why they were going to keep the cordons on, looking at these addresses, like the hostel here behind me, also the park here in salisbury, plus one or two other places, in case there is another source of novichok in this area. so the police are describing the finding of this bottle as a significant breakthrough, and have been asking the public to help them on this, while making sure the public do not pick anything up that was not their own. that has been a key search for the police, just how did don and charlie come into contact with that novichok? it now looks like for certain, it looks like novichok within that small bottle but the details surrounding its whereabouts, the type of bottle, are not yet clear and the police have stressed again that their investigations are continuing. 100 or so detectives on this, trying to pin down all these lines of inquiry they have running. we have also found out today that the postmortem examination of dawn, who died last sunday,
9:45 pm
will be carried out next tuesday. let's go back to our top story. donald trump has arrived in scotland and is arriving at the airport to his golf resort. the number two hotel. 0n the west coast of scotland. you can just hotel. 0n the west coast of scotland. you canjust see him through the blades of a helicopter. the president and the first lady taking a look out across the golf resort as the sun sets bear. 0n the west coast. he is taking in one of his many golf resorts and hotels, said to be his favourite because of his family links of course to scotland. the trump organisation took possession of the property a few years ago, underwent a thorough refurbishment and he then visited about two years ago, before he
9:46 pm
became president. it was actually the date after the brexit result. there we are, donald trump and first lady melania at turnberry. japan is still reeling from one of its worst flooding disasters in decades, which has killed at least 179 people and left 70 missing. torrential rains triggered landslides and floods in central and western areas. more than 8 million people have been ordered to evacuate their homes. from hiroshima, rupert wingfield hayes reports. the sun blazed down, but this danger has not gone. wejust the sun blazed down, but this danger has not gone. we just arrived the sun blazed down, but this danger has not gone. wejust arrived in the sun blazed down, but this danger has not gone. we just arrived in the little town, and the alarms have just gone off. the evacuation search teams, the military, everyone is being ordered out of this area because we think, we are not quite sure, a risk of a secondary landslide. for young and old this is
9:47 pm
110w landslide. for young and old this is now a grueling ordeal. it is 36 degrees and the local school offers few comforts. it is like a war zone, these ladies tell me. it is so chaotic. we do not know where to start and it is too hot. the death toll is now 204. three of the latest bodies were found in the village of ishida. they take me to the spot where their names died. so this is where their names died. so this is where their names died. so this is where the bodies were found. all this mud and debris were against these houses and they dug it all out over the last two days and this is where the bodies of the dead were found down by the store. he says he was woken by the sound of huge boulders thundering down the mountain and smashing into their neighbours house. my house was
9:48 pm
shaking. it was really horrible. i have never seen anything like that. i never thought this would a friend of mine. across the world, extreme weather events like this are increasing. and so is the death toll. i just want to go increasing. and so is the death toll. ijust want to go back increasing. and so is the death toll. i just want to go back to scotland. this looks like a protester in a para gliderflying over the result minutes after the president arrived. we believe it is green peas. you president arrived. we believe it is green peas. you can see green peas just on the campus there. ——greenpeace. it says trump is below par. eight golfing joke. it is surprising a
9:49 pm
glider can get that close to the resort. given all the security that is there with the secret service but there we are. a paragliderjust coming over the trees, and that flag which has flipped around and reverse , which has flipped around and reverse, saying trump well below par. there we are, a protester over the president cosmetic golf resort. more of a nasty welcome for him. the international members of the team of divers who rescued the thai boys from a cave in northern thailand flew home on friday — insisting to reporters that they had not done anything heroic. all 12 boys along with their coach were brought safely back to the surface, after spending more than two weeks trapped below ground. one of the team was a british diver, john volanthen, who decided to speak only to the bbc. my colleague david garmston began by asking him about the moment he got the call for an international mission. the answer was expecting unexpected
9:50 pm
sub was just talk to mama, and you appeared to surface and you appeared to have found them. it was mentioned to have found them. it was mentioned to some the press that it was locked. i would say that is not the case. the procedure is in the situation we are swimming along an underwater passage wherever there is airspace, we surface, we shout, and also smell. and in this case, we smelled the children before we saw them. how many of you? 13? brilliant. what's her chances did you give this operation a success?
9:51 pm
given the amount of water we saw in the preceding days, it was unbelievable that we had found them and they were all healthy. i think we we re and they were all healthy. i think we were both aware of the enormity of the task. what sort of problems we re of the task. what sort of problems were you facing? the visibility in the water with very low, so it gets down to a few inches, there was also a lot of debris in the cave from previous attempts, wire, electric cable, to being, sorts of things. the cold also was an issue. the children were quite small, so we we re children were quite small, so we were quite about that. how well the smaller children would hold up. what struck me about the photo with some of the kids were smiling. big smiles. at that point, they were quite pleased. we spent a fair amount time trying to boost their morale before we left. we did not have food to give them that we had lights to give them. and when you
9:52 pm
would leave them, how confident were you in seeing them alive again? and made them a promise i would come back. and we did. we can with food. having said that, allied in a cave and allied outside the cage art different things. that very narrow pit, it sent a shiver down my spine, squeezing through that. most of the diagrams that have been put out on the media are not correct. there we re the media are not correct. there were a the media are not correct. there were a numberof the media are not correct. there were a number of different points where different techniques were required to navigate both one person or one person carrying a child. if it was very low, you had to carry them to the site, and sometimes it was very narrow, and push them in front. what did you do? just put them under your arm? how did you get them under your arm? how did you get them out? we were fortunate enough to have some local boys from us
9:53 pm
swimming club which we took to a swimming club which we took to a swimming pool and we practised beforehand. swimming pool and we practised before hand. we essentially swimming pool and we practised beforehand. we essentially strapped a cylinder to the front of the child, when they had a full face mask which is a way of making sure they can breeze and essentially we had a handle on the back of the child so you always need to transport someone facedown so what are our runs away from the face, and we we re are our runs away from the face, and we were able to manoeuvre them and get them that way, although they we re get them that way, although they were to cook to us, so if we lost them in the visibility, we would always be able to find them. said you push them like a wheelbarrow several if you want a picture, it was more like a shopping bag. sometimes we held them close to our chest if the passage was narrow and if that passage was low and wide would hold them up to the side. essentially manoeuvre them around any obstacles. i am not hacker. what did you that idea? your so—called.
9:54 pm
there was that awful moment when the navy seal went down and his life was lost. i would like to can extend my condolences to his family and his relatives. it is a shame because with the rescue being so successful, that adds a bittersweet flavour, yes it was a tragedy. people were generally concerned. it was the media and people were willing those kids and you to get out. i can tell you the world was there and willing you the world was there and willing you want. but you are back now. and you want. but you are back now. and you went back to work immediately. work yesterday. no rest for the wicked. i have seen the pictures of you at the cubs. you are a leader there? yes. what sort of reception did the children did you? it was nice to see them. young can you see
9:55 pm
what you did was fairly remarkable. ican what you did was fairly remarkable. i can say it was a first. we are all pleased. a great pleasure to meet you. that was the very modestjon blanton. ——volanthen. they have since made their way to turnberry on the coast. he started the day having meetings and a press conference with theresa may. he described you as an incredible woman and tried to make nice after embarrassing her, saying her brexit plan could kill a trade deal. you are watching world news tonight. young hello there. friday was a good
9:56 pm
day for storm spotting. you did see the clouds bubbling up like this. nearby. someone was getting a soaking. 0ther nearby. someone was getting a soaking. other places that had a really heavy downpour was, getting a decent watering at the thunderstorm rolled by and we did see some surface water flooding as a result of that heavy rain falling in a short space of time. i weather is going to change over the next few days and the changes, its going to be brought about by hurricane chris. it is no longer a hurricane. it is turning into a norwalk area of low pressure but it will continue to have impact on our weather notjust this weekend but also into next week as well. what happens? here is crisp and it is caring with its tropical moisture. some moist air, and warm air moves, it tends to build pressure and as weekend, the pressure and as weekend, the pressure will be rising across parts the united kingdom and perhaps more sunshine lighter winds and higher
9:57 pm
temperatures so that is the first lot of impact we see from chris over the next few days. so a lot of sunshine to come to england and wales, eastern parts of scotland also seen the sunshine. further north and west, thicker clouds from the atlantic, some patchy outbreaks of rain sneaking in, and maybe later in the day to western counties of northern ireland. highs reaching 29 degrees from saturday afternoon, so those temperatures are on the rise. sunday will be an even hotter day. we are expecting this temperatures to hit 31 celsius across parts of england, a threat of a bit more cloud across the northwest of the uk, it was the outbreaks of rain which could be quite heavy for a time on sunday morning, probably turning a little lighter and patchy or later on in the day. looking to next week, chris will build an area of high pressure across scandinavia, and that is going to allow pressure to fall closer to our shores. for much of the summer, we have had this
9:58 pm
block weather pattern within area of high pressure, but jet block weather pattern within area of high pressure, butjet stream sent over the top of the uk and that's why it is been so dry for so long. the block has shifted further into europe and we have a trough coming m, europe and we have a trough coming in, that encourages air to rise and will bring us or showers so it is a fundamental change for our weather pattern that we will see in the week ahead. for monday, we have a weather front moving in off the atlantic and behind that, the weather will be turning a little bit cooler and pressure. temperatures still reasonable, mind you. on the front, we will still have some hot in southeast england. the front is with us on southeast england. the front is with us on tuesday, probably tend to break down into areas of heavy feathery rain as we go through tuesday afternoon and still pretty warm and humid, but further west we have pressure air continuing to work in. the forecast is quite reliable until tuesday but after tuesday, it becomes a little bit more uncertain. the general theme is we will see further showers on wednesday, some of them heavy and thundery. and
9:59 pm
where those thunderstorms are, we can have heavy rain in sure and amount of time so there is a threat of localised flooding. of the week, next weekend, we'll have a generally low pressure around our shores. we'll have a fairly heavy outbreaks and more showers will bring a risk of clouds, and temperatures will continue to ease back closer to normalfor continue to ease back closer to normal for the continue to ease back closer to normalfor the time of continue to ease back closer to normal for the time of year. tonight, president trump's controversial visit — now he hails the relationship between the us and the uk, as the "highest level of special". us anthem plays.
10:00 pm
at windsor castle, the president is formally welcomed by the queen, despite the fact that it's not a full state visit. earlier, he'd held talks with the prime minister, where tensions were evident on the approach to brexit and on future trade links. i don't know what they're going to do, but whatever you do is ok with me, that is your decision. whatever you're going to do is ok with us, just make sure we can trade together, that's all that matters. the united states is keen for us, we're keen to work with them, and we will do a trade deal with them, and with others around the rest of the world.
