this is bbc news. i'm ros atkins in turnberry, on the penultimate day of the us president's uk visit. the "working" part of the trip is now over, and president trump is expected to play some golf in scotland. he's met by more protests. there was a substantial protest in london yesterday, and i was standing here yesterday evening when a paragliderflew over as here yesterday evening when a paraglider flew over as and towards the turnberry hotel. we are expecting more protests here in scotla nd expecting more protests here in scotland as the day goes on. i'm shaun ley, with the other main stories on bbc news. an explosive device has been thrown at the home of the former sinn fein president, gerry adams, in west belfast. investigations continue in wiltshire after a bottle containing novichok is found at the home of charlie rowley, one of the victims poisoned by the nerve agent. the rescuer‘s story —

one of the divers who helped save 12 boys and their football coach trapped in a thai cave speaks to the bbc. back from maternity leave — serena williams could make history in the wimbledon ladies‘ singles final today. she takes on germany's angelique kerber in what could be serena's 24th grand slam singles title. playing for pride — can the three lions beat belgium to their highest world cup finish since 1966? and, coming up: the travel show is in amsterdam, looking at a boat which used to bring migrants across the mediterranean, but now carries tourists around the city. that and much more coming up in half an hour on the bbc news channel. hello, and welcome to turnberry, where president trump is spending

the weekend at his golf resort. it is just about the perfect day for a round of old. we are pretty short donald trump will take that opportunity at some point today. the golf course is just over there, and we know he is keen on a round, so i can't believe he will pass the chance on this beautiful day. while he is doing that, theresa may, the rest of the uk government, and the watching world, is trying to work out what we learned from the working visit that he paid to the uk. this weekend there are no scheduled events, but over the last couple of days we have seen a range of contradictory messages from the president on how he will approach this prospective uk — us trade deal, that will have to be cut once wrecks it is complete. really, what we saw, was what we saw at the g7 and that nato, and here with theresa may,

fierce criticism of countries which would normally be traditional allies of america, then some more considerate treat words. while we are trying to digests the destruction he brought, he said the meetings were successful. he departs the scene, and everyone is left wondering what he wants, what does he intend to do? and that is part of his tactic, to disrupt, to raise questions, and he believes that is the best way of cutting deals that suit america. while we are picking through all of those diplomatic details, the president is here to play golf, but there are some scottish people who would like to get across their concerns about his policies as president of america. scotland is a country donald trump knows well and has visited many times before but this, the first time as president, arriving at prestwick airport on a false one. airport on air force one.

the president accompanied by his wife melania are expected to spend the weekend relaxing at his golf resort on the ayrshire coast. after a fast moving working visit which has included tea with the queen, a full banquet, and political talks amid controversy over his comments about brexit. away from the official agenda, there have been large protests, tens of thousands taking to the streets in cities throughout the uk. but there have been this has been described as a private visit to scotland but there have been some very public anti—trump demonstrations and more are planned for over the weekend. it is about making a stand as a society and saying we don't really approve of trump, we don't approve of the people around him and his agenda. what do you want to say to him? go back home, please. we don't want you here. that sentiment isn't shared by all, in glasgow a small group heavily outnumbered showed their support or president trump. there has been no official confirmation of president trump's

plans for the next two days, but a round of golf at his turnberry course is likely. more than 5,000 police on duty from the duration of his visit to scotland, patrolling the sea and shore line and they will be hoping there will be no repeat of last night when a protestor flying a paraglider got within around 100 metres of the president shortly after he arrived at his resort. lorna gordon, bbc news, glasgow. how we describe donald trump public meetings and behaviours around theresa may depend on who you ask. some people say it was rude to give an interview to the sun newspaper in which he said i told theresa may what to do but she did not take my advice. some people said he was repeatedly untruthful. for instance,

he said he had not criticised the prime minister in the sun newspaper, when the article had a number of criticisms within it. if you listen to the international trade secretary, liam fox, he has a more positive view of how the president behaved. i think the visit has gone well. the discussions that we have had have been very constructive. i was with the president and a number of british chief executives of some of oui’ british chief executives of some of our biggest companies, from rolls—royce to ep the other night, and there was a very positive atmosphere and the president was clearly interested in what british companies are doing in the us, where we employ more than i million americans. we were discussing the investment opportunities that were available, both in the uk and the us, and the trade opportunities that exist between us. so the atmosphere was positive, and i was pleased to see it reflected in the president's press c0 nfe re nce see it reflected in the president's press conference yesterday. i think that when you have the president of

the united states, the leader of the free world, being greeted with signs that say "go home, we hate you", i think that does not reflect the genuine hospitality of the british people. he was genuinely well—informed and well mannered, and the important thing was that the discussions we had and not what people say elsewhere, and we have had important trade discussions during the week with our american counterparts, looking to see where we have opportunities when we leave the eu, to do things that are not able to do at the present time, for example. the us has a problem with the eu over car tariffs, because the eu charge 10% tariffs on american ca i’s eu charge 10% tariffs on american cars coming into the eu, whereas the americans only charge 2.5% on european cars going into america. that is one of the things we could deal with ourselves unilaterally as

we left the eu, and that was something that was of great reassurance to the us. yesterday in london we saw a big protest, and also a big anti—trump protest, and also a big anti—trump protest in glasgow, but as well as that there was a smaller pro—trump protest, and in south london today at the american embassy, there is another protest in support of the president. let's speak to chi chi izundu, who is following a protest in south london. there is expected to be around 700 people. this is nine elms, the new home of the us embassy. they will march from here to central london, where they will meet another protest which is due to take place. there is, like you said, yesterday there we re is, like you said, yesterday there were tens of thousands of people expected who took part in a massive anti—trump rally, but this one today is expected to be much smaller in

number. they are expected to go to central london, and they will have a number of speeches from people like the chair of number of speeches from people like the chairof ukip. thank you very much indeed. so, throughout the day here on the bbc news channel, we will keep you up—to—date on those anti—trump protests, and pro—trump protest, and we will keep an eye on what the president is doing. remember, there are no scheduled events. he is staying in his golf resort behind me, we expecting to go for a round of golf, and we hope to get some pictures of him doing that. we are waiting to see how that will play out. of course, the president always has his phone, and if he opens up twitter he may have things to say about how this working visit to the uk has gone. he also may look ahead to his meeting with vladamir putin in helsinki, because that is the other issue to which we have two

return. donald trump was critical of germany as he went into the nato summit. he was critical of theresa may as he went into yesterday's meetings. will he be equally critical of russia, head of meeting vladamir putin in helsinki question mark we will have to wait and see. we will indeed, thank you. sinn fein says an explosive device has been thrown at the house of its former president gerry adams in west belfast. the attack comes after six nights of violence in londonderry. police blamed it on dissident republicans, who are opposed to the peace process. mr adams tweeted that no—one was hurt. 0ur correspondentjohn campbell is in belfast. what we know about what happened? around midnight there was a loud bang outside the home of gerry adams. we can see damage was caused toa car, adams. we can see damage was caused to a car, on his driveway. what was

thrown at the house was some sort of crude, improvised explosive device. it damaged a car on the driver, did not cause any damage to the house. at about the same time in a different area of west belfast, there was also an attack on the home ofa there was also an attack on the home of a close ally of gerry adams, a seniorfigure in the party of a close ally of gerry adams, a senior figure in the party and of a close ally of gerry adams, a seniorfigure in the party and a former senior figure seniorfigure in the party and a former seniorfigure in seniorfigure in the party and a former senior figure in the seniorfigure in the party and a former seniorfigure in the ira. the finger of blame for both of these attacks is being pointed at dissident republicans, who disagree with sinn fein on the approach to the peace process, and really think of sinn fein and their leadership is being traitors. what we don't know, i suppose, is how significant a group these people are. we know that dissident republicans are a small group. their inability to mount attacks is quite limited. they have been heavily penetrated by the security services, and have not had much of a campaign in recent years, although they are still active, and at times deadly. the police blamed

dissident republicans for effectively being behind that trouble, which we have seen in derry over the last week or so, and the sinn fein leader marylou mcdonald was saying that dissident republicans were effectively using children as cannon fodder for their personal and political agendas. we can be pretty sure, i think, that dissidents will be blamed for this, but we should keep in perspective that they are a very small organisation with very little support, and they have been pretty operationally ineffective in recent yea rs. operationally ineffective in recent years. does this reflect any sense of frustration at the political en masse in northern ireland, which has now dragged on for 18 months?” don't think we should conflict those two issues of the difficulties at stormont, and the bigger row tween sinn fein and the dup and what the dissident republicans have been doing on the streets. dissident republicans don't agree with storm onto existing in any way, shape or

form, so they are hardly likely to be frustrated by the fact that it is not sitting at the minute. john campbell in belfast, thank you. police in wiltshire are continuing their search for evidence in the poisoning of a couple with novichok. detectives say the substance which killed dawn sturgess, and left charlie rowley in hospital, had been in a bottle found at his house. scotland yard says it doesn't know where the bottle came from, and says it can't guarantee that there isn't any more of the substance left. at least 120 people have been killed in a suicide bombing at an election rally in pakistan. more than 100 others were hurt by the blast in the southwest of the country. the islamic state group said it carried out the attack, the deadliest in the country for four years. a six—year—old girl from northern ireland has become the first person to be granted a long—term licence for the use of medicinal cannabis in the uk. the parents of sophia gibson say the medication relieves the symptoms of a severe form of epilepsy. the decision was made by a panel of medical experts set up by the home office. the broadcaster richard bacon is recovering in hospital in london after spending several days in a medically induced coma. the former blue peter

and radio 5live presenter is being treated for suspected pneumonia, after falling ill on a flight from the united states, where he now lives. his mother says he is slowly making progress. the headlines on bbc news: the work is over and the golf begins. donald trump arrives in scotland on the last leg of his first official trip to the uk. further unrest in northern ireland, as an explosive is thrown at the home of former sinn fein leader gerry adams. investigations continue in wiltshire after a small bottle found in the home of one of the victims is found to contain the deadly nerve agent novichok. sport, and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's ben croucher. good morning. the weekend sees the conclusion of wimbledon and the world cup but we'll start

at the all england club where serena williams is on the verge of a record the weekend sees the conclusion of wimbledon and the world cup but we'll start at the all england club where serena williams is on the verge of a record equalling 24th grand slam singles title just ten months after giving birth to herfirst child. 0n the other side of the net will be angelique kerber. the left—handed german was beaten by wiliams in the 2016 final, the last of serena's seven wimbledon titles. former world number one tracey austin described for us earlier that challenge that lies in wait for kerber. serena's service the biggest weapon in the history of women's tennis. she holds her serve pretty easily. she holds her serve pretty easily. she is an incredible athlete, 36, she has so much confidence on centre court because she has won wimbledon seven times. all of that put together, she is a big champion to come on centre court. angelique kerber has beaten serena williams at the finals of the major at the australian open in 2016. she has the

credentials and the knowledge she has beaten serena at the big moment. this is her favourite service because she hits the ball so flat and hard. well, before that,we still need to sort out who'll be in the men's final. novak djokovic leads rafa nadal by two sets to one and they'll play to a finish on centre court from 1:00pm. the winner will face kevin anderson, who overcame john isner 26—24 in the other semi in a match that lasted more than six hours. so, here's a reminder of the order of play this afternoon on centre court. djokovic—nadal from 1:00pm, and not before 2:00pm, kerber versus williams. full coverage across bbc tv, radio and online from 11. some news coming out of chelsea in the last half hour. as widely expected, they have appointed former napoli boss maurizio sarri as manager on a three—year contract. yesterday it was confirmed that fellow italian antonio conte had left stamford bridge. sarri said he hoped to "provide some entertaining football for our fans, and that we will be competing for trophies at the end of the season". 0ne manager who'll probably be taking a couple of weeks off soon

is gareth southgate. before that, the england manager has to gather his players one last time in russia as they face belgium in the 3rd—4th placed play—off. 0ur sports correspodent david 0rnstein is at the st petersburg stadium where the match takes place this afternoon. david, we've been here before. can we expect another match between the two second strings? welcome to the ground as final preparations take place for this match. it is a five o'clock kick—off locally, three o'clock in the uk and the thing gareth southgate will look to make a number of changes. —— and i think. not an entire team because he wants to win this match and secure england's hires place at the world cup since 1966, by taking the bronze medal. harry kane could start up bronze medal. harry kane could start up front as he continues his chase for the golden boot. he will come up against romelu lukaku, who is on for

madrigals. jordan pickford has played all of england's matches and is searching for the golden glove. there could be changes to get minutes into the legs of those who have not played so far and giving them the best chance of winning. how much expectation has there been for this game? many people say this is the game that nobody wants to play but i do not think england will be taking it that way. we sold 23 players training yesterday and they looked up for it. from healing from gareth southgate and fabien galthie is today, they seem focused on making history by getting the bronze medal. think back four years ago to brazil and england were knocked out of the group stage after losing their first two medal matches. at their first two medal matches. at the euros two years ago, they lost the euros two years ago, they lost the lowly iceland is this is a sign of progress. although the world cup itself may not be coming home, there isa itself may not be coming home, there is a sense that with the connection rebuild with the fans, that football

may have come home and that there is optimism for the future. thank you very much. england captain heather knight says her side have had an brilliant summer, but they couldn't finish with a win. they were beaten by four wickets by new zealand in the final one day international in leicester. after being bowled out for 219, sophie devine's century helped new zealand finish the three match series on a high. england did take it 2—1 overall, though. the men get their turn at lord's this today after being comfortably beaten in their opening one—dayer against india. —— at lord's today. the first ball will be bowled at 11, coverage available on 5 live sports extra and bbc sport website from 10:45. that's all the sport for now. thank you. we're going to cross to paris to take a look at these scenes there this morning as france celebrates bastille day, the 14th of july, a critical dna history of the

french revolution. 0ne july, a critical dna history of the french revolution. one of those events that has more symbolic significance than perhaps what happened on the day itself. it was the liberation of prisoners held in the liberation of prisoners held in the bastille prison. they turned out to bea the bastille prison. they turned out to be a rather as disappointing bunch, a small number and not the symbolic release that the people of paris hope for. nonetheless, it was a brutal end to the life of the governor of the bastille prison, and it became a symbolic date in marking the revolution years 1789. we are seeing the military parade in front of the manual macron, along the champs—elysees, below the arc de triomphe. it is quite aside. let's listen to some of the music. —— quite a sight. wonderful scenes. a very different

picture from last year because president macron had donald trump with him, his guest of honourfor the bastille celebrations. it did much to celebrate the relationship between the two men and between the us and france as it has been lobbying on a number of issues in washington. we saw both men at the nato summit earlier this week. president trump is playing golf this week in state, but apparently he was impressed by the military parade and even discussed with washington should have something similar. there we are. they have got another reason to celebrate in paris this weekend, because france will be playing in the world cup final tomorrow night against croatia. it's taken two years to build at a cost of more than £200 million. now britain's new polar research ship is ready to go in to the water. the rrs sir david attenborough, which was nearly named boaty mcboatface, will be launched into the river mersey this afternoon by the man himself, tide permitting. 0ur science correspondent victoria gill has more. good morning to you.

putting the finishing touches to a giant. while britain's newest polar research ship was famed for the public‘s decision to name it boaty mcboatface, the vessel now bears a far more celebrated name. building the 129 metre rrs sir david attenborough has taken a million individual pieces of steel and a50 kilometres of wire. and while she's not the biggest vessel to be built here on the mersey, this ship is unique. as well as onboard laboratories for the 60 scientists who will work aboard, the ship has giant hugely insulated freezers to contain and keep safe frozen samples from the planet's polar regions. the sir david attenborough is the most technologically advanced research vessel ever built in this country and because of her size, they've had to wait for the highest tide to get her into the river mersey, but she is destined for much more extreme environments. this is how the ship will look

when the real exploration begins, and the captain himself has had a hand in preparing his vessel for some genuinely uncharted territory. one of the things i was very keen on putting on the vessel was a forward—facing sonar, so that gives us an image a kilometre ahead of the vessel, a 3—d representation of the seabed, so it means we'll be able to go into these places knowing absolutely what's there. now ready for its first trip into the water, the ship will spend 25 years as a base for polar discoveries that are yet to be made. victoria gill, bbc news. victoria gill is in birkenhead. good morning. good morning. it good morning. it is good morning. it is an good morning. it is an absolutely good morning. it is an absolutely it is an absolutel glorious good morning. it is an absolutely glorious day. the rss sir david attenborough is gleaming in the sunshine. you can see some of the lunch time on the top deck. they have been lifted aboard so when she goes down the slipway at 12:20pm today, sir david attenborough will

trigger that lunch. they will be aboard, piloting the ship into the water for the first aboard, piloting the ship into the waterfor the first time. aboard, piloting the ship into the water for the first time. someone who has spent a long time on—board ships like this is physicist helen. tell me, how important is a vessel like this for uk polar science? ships give you access to places a long way away, that are difficult to get to. first —— for scientists, we wa nt to get to. first —— for scientists, we want to be in it. there is wonderful technology that lets you do things from a long way away but there is no substitute to being in the environment you're studying. this ship will give us the access and it will give uk polar signs this enormous boost. the polls are becoming more important. traditionally oceanographers have discovered —— have studied this season the middle of the planet, but as climate change progresses we are discovering how important antarctic

—— how important antarctic and the arctic circle are. there is a real sense of occasion here today. you have spent time aboard vessels like this that have been your base. what is the inspiration behind ships like this? ships have character and there isa this? ships have character and there is a spirit of adventure that goes with them. we think about space vessels and things that go to other places, but the ship, it is an adventure vessel. signed to see the adventure vessel. signed to see the adventure and what we are doing and what we're finding out, but everyone else gets to see it here. it is a floating city, self—contained community, you're going that way, you have a job to do, and it is an adventure. everyone who has lived on adventure. everyone who has lived on a ship, you do not see the ship as a person, but you see it as a home, a place. it becomes part of you for a short period and there are so many scientists that will go on board this ship and live as they are

studying there are signs. there is no substitute for being in the middle of what you're studying. thank you and hopefully you will be on board in the future at some point. i hope so. we will be standing back as those 10,000 tonne ship goes into the water for the first time so it should be an impressive splash. we're looking forward to seeing it. officials in thailand say the 12 boys freed from a flooded cave with their football coach will be discharged from hospital on thursday. they are all said to be recovering both physically and mentally. the final few members of the team were brought out of the caves by divers on tuesday, having been trapped for more than two weeks. the boys' remarkable rescue was largely due to a team of expert british divers. one of them, john volanthen, who found the boys, has been speaking exclusively to the bbc. i was in aztec west working at about 3pm when i had a call that said i was booked on a 9 o'clock flight to thailand. just talk us through the moment, because we've seen a bit of it on video, of when you appeared to surface and you appeared to have found them. we were swimming along an underwater passage.

wherever there is air space we surface, we shout, and also, we smell. and in this case, we smelt the children before we actually saw or heard them. what sort of chances did you give this operation of success? well, given the volume of water we'd seen come out of that cave in the preceding couple of days, it was unbelievable that we'd found them and that they were all healthy. there was also a lot of debris in the cave from previous attempts — wire, electrical cable, pumps, tubing, all sorts of things. the cold also was an issue. some of the children were quite small so we were concerned about how well the smaller children would hold up. and when you had to leave them to go and make your plans and so on, how confident were you of seeing them alive again? i made them a promise that i'd come back, and we did. in fact, we came back with food

runs, so completely confident. but having said that, alive in a cave and alive outside of a cave are two very different things. what did you do? put them under your arm or did you swim with them? how did you get them out? we were fortunate enough to have some local thai boys from a swimming club which we took to a swimming pool and we practised beforehand. we essentially strapped a cylinder to the front of the child, they had a full—face mask which is a way of making sure that they can breathe, and essentially, we had a handle on the back of the child, so you always need to transport someone face down so any water runs away from their face, and we were able to manoeuvre them in that way, although they were still clipped to us so that if we lost them in the visibility, we would always be able to find them immediately. so you pushed them through almost like a wheelbarrow? if you want a picture, it was probably more like a shopping bag that sometimes you would hold close to your chest if the passage was narrow and deep. if the passage was low and wide, you would hold them out to the side. you are not a panicker, are you?

i'm nota panicker, no. what gave you that idea? you are so calm, it's unbelievable. although of course there has been that awfulful moment when the navy seal who went down, his life was lost. i would like to extend my condolences to saman's family and his relatives again. it's a shame because with the rescue being so successful, that kind of adds a bittersweet flavour. yes, it was a tragedy. can you see that what you did was fairly remarkable? i can see it was a first. how's that? john volanthen speaking exclusively to the bbc‘s david garmston. now it is time for a look at the weather. hello, it is a pretty straightforward weather story to tell. if you have outside plans this weekend you will not be

disappointed. it looks likely to stay warm and sunny. hot for some. the exception is the far north and west. a week weather front will bring cloud and sherry outbreaks of rain into the west of northern ireland, and the west of scotland, it gradually clouding over the east of scotla nd it gradually clouding over the east of scotland and the border. the maximum will be 82 fahrenheit. that will lead to a one night with temperatures not following fire. mid—teens widely. at the same time the weather front will bring outbreaks of shirley rain into northern ireland, the west of scotla nd northern ireland, the west of scotland and perhaps aberdeenshire by sunday morning. we start sunday with the weather front in the north—west, but for most people, it will be hot and sunny and it will stay like that. whatever doing, enjoy.
