cars. formula 1, self driving cars and bad in half an hour. —— that's coming up in half an hour. hello, and welcome to bbc world news. us president donald trump is spending his third day in the uk on his own golf course turnberry in scotland. it's a pause after two days of official meetings with british prime minister theresa may, and on friday tea with queen elizabeth. well, it's a bright mystery day on the west coast of scotland. donald trump tweeted earlier, and whilst most of his tweets are contentions, we can agree with him this morning when he says it's looking beautiful. it's a gorgeous summer ‘s day. he told us he would be playing a round

of golf, no surprise to anyone. he's played a lot of golf since he became president. as well as commentating on the beauty of this part of scotland, i guess we are looking for more detail on two issues. firstly, yesterday was dominated by the prospect of a new uk us trade deal. he began the day without interviewing the sun sailing theresa may's current approach will kill off that prospect. then he directly contradicted that nsaid, actually, he thinks it's possible and theresa may talked about an ambitious deal that has left us a little confused about how the americans are positioning themselves. we are also curious to hear what he makes of the current situation with russia. he is meeting vladimir putin on monday. yesterday we had the indictment of 12 officials accused of hacking the democratic party in advance of the

american election in 2016. so far no comment from the present on that development, how he may raise that 01’ development, how he may raise that or not, on monday in helsinki with putin. the president got here by data pm yesterday, while we were following this, a paragliderflew over us carrying an following this, a paragliderflew over us carrying an anti—president trump banner. he flew towards the hotel, got a reasonably close, it was organised by greenpeace. i've been speaking to ben steward, who was behind the stand. it wasn't dangerous, the police knew ten or 15 minutes before, we had someone who informed them. they knew we were coming in. we've done this before. it's important that the president saw real—life protest. there are hundreds of thousands on the streets, he's gone from place to place likely visiting dignity in his helicopter, not wanting to see real people. a big banner, on a golf

course, saying president trump, you are well below par. it is part of the democratic input right. he has pulled america out of the paris accord, overturned the obama era ban on offshore oil drilling, that's before you get him separating kids from their parents and caging them. he's a bad man. let's speak to a professor of politics at the university of glasgow, you are perfectly positioned to help us, what is your reading of trip? donald trump is trying to send a message to nato, he has the putin trip coming up, in between this he's sandwiched in this visit to the uk, to meet with theresa may around trade and defence, that was prominent in discussions. now he is here spending a bit of time relaxing and preparing for the putin summit. on the issue

of trade, while the british government is keen to get the ball rolling on a post—brexit trays deal, are the americans really ready to start talking about that in detail? probably not at the level that donald trump and theresa may would be discussing, they would be at the lower level. they are probably waiting to find out what happens with brexit. until we know the details of the final resolution it's ha rd to details of the final resolution it's hard to decide what the arrangement is going to be. donald trump was trying to send signals about that yesterday, when he was supposedly rolling back what he was going to say he kept saying, make sure we can trade with you. donald trump will be spending two nights behind us, nicola sturgeon, the first minister of scotla nd nicola sturgeon, the first minister of scotland will not be visiting or seeing him, what you make of that? the relationship between donald trump and the scottish government,

particularly the nsp, alex salmond and nicola sturgeon has been somewhat fraught. it was quite positive when they wanted donald trump to invest in turnberry, and in the aberdeen area golf course, since that time it's turned quite acrimonious, particularly between alex salmond and donald trump, nicola sturgeon, she removed donald trump as an ambassador, business ambassadorfor trump as an ambassador, business ambassador for scotland in 2016. again, nicola sturgeon has been pretty clear sending signals that they don't approve, the scottish government doesn't approve of the positions the present takes. just to give you an idea have how this resort has been transformed, just down the road, you'll get a road adjacent to the golf course, yesterday we could stroll along it, today no one is allowed. the beach on the other side of the golf course has been shut off. there is a police boat. in the middle of a fairway snipers are positioned. that is the

environment in which the president will step onto the golf course in the sunshine of scotland is a little bit later. i'm surprised that doesn't put him off his stroke! sinn fein says an explosive device has been thrown out the home of theirformer president has been thrown out the home of their former president in belfast. police blame it on dissident republicans who oppose the peace protest. mr adams to did that no one was hurt. police in wiltshire are continuing their search for evidence in the poisoning. the substance which killed dawn sturgess was in a bottle charlie rowley‘s house. they don't know where the bottle came from and cannot guarantee there is no more of the substance left. our correspondent is in salisbury. this isn't reassuring for people in the area, how are they reacting to this? i guess it's released that the container has been found?m

i guess it's released that the container has been found? it is reassuring news, in the sense that there are risks to the general public is lowered. it is at least known that this is the source of the novichok. charlie rowley and dawn stu rg ess novichok. charlie rowley and dawn sturgess final novichok. charlie rowley and dawn stu rg ess final two novichok. charlie rowley and dawn sturgess final two weeks ago, they we re sturgess final two weeks ago, they were treated at this hospital after coming into contact with novichok. dawn stu rgess coming into contact with novichok. dawn sturgess died last weekend and charlie rowley is any serious but sta ble charlie rowley is any serious but stable condition. he is able to talk to the police there. this is the focus now, this small bottle that was found at his house in aylesbury, about eight miles from here. it raises questions as well as answering a few. police want to know how he came into contact with this bottle. where was it discovered? was it in the park near here. we know they visited the park. the working assumption is that this container is from the same batch of novichok that

was spread on the door handle of the former russian spy for months ago. he and his daughter were poisoned. you have that investigation and simultaneously scientists at portland stone will be carrying out a critical test now to draw the scientific link, to see if, indeed, they can test for impurities in this latest sa m ple to they can test for impurities in this latest sample to see if they match the sample found on the door handle of the house. therefore concluding it is from the same batch. if that is discovered there are huge diplomatic implications, the uk government always blamed russia for the attack on the russian spy, with this murder investigation into the death of dawn sturgess, with the finger of blame point at them for that as well. it is a huge development, this discovery, and as i say, it lowers the risk in many senses to people in the surrounding area. police have said that there

could be other containers that are undiscovered, still lying around in this area, indeed, public health england have issued a warning that people should not pick up anything strange, that includes things like syringes and needles, as well as cosmetics. you were saying that the park remains completely cornered off, is that not the fact that there isa off, is that not the fact that there is a great deal of work still happening on the ground a couple of weekends on from this incident. i think we have lostjohn in wiltshire, let's move on. the broadcaster richard bacon is recovering in london after spending several days in a medically induced coma. the former blue peter presenter has suspected pneumonia. he fell ill on a flight from the united states. his mother told the bbc he is slowly making progress. a

huge iceberg has caused resulting waves to swamp homes near the village in greenland. it has grounded and didn't move overnight. officials say they've never seen such a big iceberg. last summerfor people to ride in north—western greenland after a wave swamped houses following an earthquake. 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. sophie gibson's parents say the uk. sophie gibson's parents say the drug eases her epilepsy symptoms. mourners are burying their dead in southwest pakistan after a blast killed 128 people at a political rally in one of the country's deadliest attacks, meanwhile, the former prime minister of pakistan, nawaz sharif, and his daughter maryam, have been taken into custody after they flew back to pakistan from london. the group calling itself islamic

state carried out the attack. the 12 boys rescued from a flooded cave complex in northern thailand are expected to be released from hospital next thursday. thailand's health minister told reporters that the boys and their coach were in good spirits following the dramatic rescue that finished on tuesday. the health ministry released these picutres of the boys and some clips they were trapped for more than two weeks. one of the expert british drivers has been speaking to us. —— divers. i was working at about 3pm when i had a call that said i was booked on a 9am flight to thailand. talk as though the moment. we've seen a bit of it on video off when you surfaced, and you appear to have found them. we were swimming along an underwater passage, we surfaced, we'd shout, and smile, and we smelt the children before we actually saw them. how many of you? what sort of

chances did you give this operation, of su ccess ? given the volume of water we'd seen come out of that cave in the preceding couple of days it was unbelievable that we found them and they were healthy. there was a lot of debris in the cave from previous attempts, pumps, tubing, all sorts of things. the cold was also an issue. some of the children were quite small, so we were quite concerned about how well the smaller children would hold up. when you had to leave them to make your plans how confident were you of seeing them alive again. i made them a promise that we'd come back. i was com pletely that we'd come back. i was completely confident, but having said that, i live in a cave and alive outside a cave are two very different things. why do what did you do? how did you get them out? we we re

you do? how did you get them out? we were fortu nate you do? how did you get them out? we were fortunate enough to have some local tidy boys from a swimming club, we practice beforehand. we essentially strapped the front of the child, they had a full face mask, which is a way of making sure that they could breathe. essentially, we had a hand on the back of the child, you always need to transport someone face down so any water runs away from their face. we could manoeuvre them in that way, they were still clipped to us, so if we lost them in visibility we were a lwa ys we lost them in visibility we were always able to find them. so you push them feel like a wheelbarrow? it was more like a shopping bag. you would hold them close to your chest if the passage was narrow and steep, if the passage was narrow and steep, if it was low and wide you would hold them to the side. why druggy you don't panic, do you? no, -- or you don't panic, do you? no, -- or

you don't panic, do you? no. i extend my condolences to the family of the man who was killed in the rescue. it is a shame, with the rescue. it is a shame, with the rescue being so successful that adds a bittersweet flavour. it was a tragedy. can you see that what you did was fairly remarkable?” tragedy. can you see that what you did was fairly remarkable? i can see it was a first. our correspondent is at the hospital in thailand right now. good news, the boys will be coming home next week? yes, they will be coming back next thursday according to the public health minister, they are currently in the hospital behind me. what we saw today was a video of the boys looking healthy and happy, sitting up looking healthy and happy, sitting up in bed and drawing images of them playing football. one showed the

whole team together, they describe themselves as strong and healthy. we've also heard today that they have been cleared of infectious diseases, so can meet their parents again. the last four arrived here on tuesday evening, we are expecting them to be released on thursday and they will receive mental health care and support when they return to theirfamily homes. and support when they return to their family homes. there has been enormous international interest in this story, and the joy of the rescue, one we've just heard from one of the divers involved. how has the story involved in thailand? how much interest has they've been about the boys and their survival? this has been a massive story here. it's grown bigger and bigger. there is still interest in it. we have cruise along the road covering the story. it has reduced slightly but thailand

is still interested in the story. of course, how the boys deal with the trauma is the next chapter. we are being told by the public health minister that the families are being advised not to speak to the media for at least one month, so they can spend time with their families and get over the ordeal. they don't want them reliving the ordeal to the media. there is that thought, as far as the nation of thailand is concerned, it is still leading on the newspapers and on social media. thank you very much for that update. and finally, from oregon in the us, this extraordinary mountain rescue. the climber, from texas, had reached the summit of mount hood, oregon's highest peak. he had planned to end his life there but had a change of heart. a chinook helicopter from the state's national guard was sent to help with the 11 thousand foot rescue. watch this as the pilots sit the tail end of the chinook down in the snowpack. with the front end still hovering, a team scrambles to get the rescuers

and the climber aboard. look at that. the helicopter landed in a field, where the climber was loaded into an ambulance and taken to hospital. it's great that he had a change of heart. a challenge for those rescuers. do you worry about the price of houses in your area? some groups have ta ken price of houses in your area? some groups have taken matters into their own hands by building affordable homes. it's been such a success the government wants it to happen more often. ben thompson has been finding out more. it might be beautiful, but it's expensive. in lyme regis house prices have soared. up nearly 30% in a decade. most ordinary people are priced out. keith, his wife, lorna,

and friend roberts decided to do something about it. they set up a community land trust. i felt that it would be great to put something back. it started back in 2012 when they we re it started back in 2012 when they were granted funding to get through the planning process. now they manage 15 properties, that will a lwa ys manage 15 properties, that will always be rented out to local people ata always be rented out to local people at a big discount. we recognise that the massive need for houses that local people could afford was increasing. 20 to 40—year—olds are having to move out. first—time buyers, the people who play for the local football team, crew the lifeboats, these are important. all my family live in lyme regis and work here, but i couldn't afford to move out of my parent? house. a two—bedroom property is very expensive and there aren't enough working hours. without this opportunity we could never have

moved back. it's nice to have the kids running around in the evenings. we were born and bred here, we should be given a chance. it's not just down chance. it's notjust down in lyme regis. community groups are cropping up across the country including here in leeds. in 2008, they were just 16 groups, now there are more than 240. the government has now committed another hundred and £63 million over the next two years to be handed out by local councils to groups that have got potential projects lined up with a lid. steve is already involved in getting affordable housing. he hopes to get hold of some of the new funding to. leeds city centre is very expensive, we wa nt leeds city centre is very expensive, we want to make those homes available to people on low incomes, working families, people who wouldn't normally be able to access

decent housing. we can use it to build new build homes, renovating homes and get the project through to the next stage of reaching that ambition to create affordable housing. cash will be a welcome boost, plans are afoot for 5000 new homesjust boost, plans are afoot for 5000 new homes just like boost, plans are afoot for 5000 new homesjust like this. but boost, plans are afoot for 5000 new homes just like this. but with only about one fifth of new build is considered affordable, these local will help, but many many more will be needed to make a real difference. let's ta ke be needed to make a real difference. let's take you live now to birkenhead, on merseyside. you can see the broadcaster, sir david attenborough, who is going to be dotted a boat is going to be bearing his name. they have been rehearsing the launch. we will be back for real ina the launch. we will be back for real in a moment. a glorious day there in birkenhead. it has cost more than £200 million, but will be britain's

new polar research. it was originally going to be called boaty mcboatface. but ministers intervened. the launch of the boat by the man himself, tied permitting. victoria gill has been investigating. putting the finishing touches to a giant. why britain's newest polar research was famed for the public‘s decision to name its boaty mcboatface it now there's a far more celebrated name. building the 129 metre r r s sir david attenborough has ta ken the 129 metre r r s sir david attenborough has taken 1 the 129 metre r r s sir david attenborough has taken1 million individual pieces of steel and 450 kilometres of wire. she is not the biggest wrestle to be built on the mersey, but it is unique. as well as on—board mersey, but it is unique. as well as on—boa rd laboratories mersey, but it is unique. as well as on—board laboratories for mersey, but it is unique. as well as on—boa rd laboratories for the mersey, but it is unique. as well as on—board laboratories for the 60 scientists who will work aboard, it has hugely insulated freezers to contain and keep safe frozen samples. the sir david attenborough

is the most technologically advanced vessel built in this country. they have had to wait for the highest tide to get it into the river mercy, she is destined for extreme environments. this is how it will look when exploration begins. the captain had his hand in preparing the vessel for generally uncharted territory. i was very keen on a forward facing sonar. that gives us an image one kilometre head of the vessel, a 3—d representation of the sea bed. we can go into these places knowing what's there. ready for its first trip into the water the ship will spend 25 years as a base for polar discovery is yet to be made. victoria is still in birkenhead for us, we are seeing shots now of the rehearsal for the launch. they clearly wa nt rehearsal for the launch. they clearly want to get it absolutely right. yes, they only have one shot

that this! it's a bit of a tense moment, actually. we had jane frances and sir david attenborough, not boaty mcboatface, a much more recognisable name. we arejust waiting now to hit the trigger. once that button is hit, the boat will be pushed onto the slipway and the ramps will give the boat a great big shelf. we are talking 10,000 tonnes of steel. it might take a few minutes for this boat to start shifting. they are just announcing... let's hear it. what i will ask is that we have a countdown from five, sir david and dame jane, so... from five, sir david and dame jane, so... if you could join me. five,

four, three, two, one... launch! music— god save the queen. there goes the rss sir david adam, her first taste of the water. —— sir david attenborough. this is not the finished vessel, is it? there is more to be added on top? it's not even a maximum size. you canjust

hear the round of applause. it hits the water for the very first time. 10,000 tonnes of it is a whole new accommodation block. it will be double the height. applause from the cloud here. they have successfully launched the ship, it is in the river mersey. how excited is he at having this vessel, a vessel that does such valuable work, and will be doing so for decades to come, potentially, bearing his name? sir david attenborough gave a speech, he said it was the greatest of honours to see that ship bear his name. he talked about the importance of polar research, the antarctic is not remote and desolate, and unknown, it is somewhere vitally important to our planet, and knowledge is vitally important to understanding climate

change. he described it as one of the greatest honours, a man who has a career, that's quite a statement. what about the reception in birkenhead, obviously shipbuilding is the lifeblood of birkenhead, for many people, has it been a big turnout? it has, yeah. there are about 2000 members of the public year, as well as invited gusts. there's a real sense of celebration here. we were here before the ship, it was all very much a working day, ha rd hats it was all very much a working day, hard hats and high vizjackets, and eve ryo ne hard hats and high vizjackets, and everyone is in their best clothes. it's a real sense of celebration. one quick word before you go, if it all goes to plan will be ship first set sail? it still has some work to

be done, the accommodation block needs to be put on top but it should be in the ice next spring doing ice trails in the arctic. there is work that has to be completed before it can head into uncharted territory. it is hard to imagine the ice when you see that warm summer in birkenhead. let's take a quick look at the weather prospects. a pretty straightforward where the story. if you have outside plans you won't be disappointed. it's likely to stay warm and funny. heart for some of us. in week weather front brings some shrubbery outbreaks of rain into northern ireland and the northern isles of scotland. 16 to 23 degrees the high. we could see 28 celsius or 82 fahrenheit. quite a warm night, temperatures not falling

far. mid—teens quite widely. at the same time further outbreaks of rain into northern ireland, perhaps into aberdeenshire by dawn on sunday. we start off sunday with that weather front into the north—west, for most of us, hot and sunny, and it will stay like that. whatever you do, it. president tom price in scotland to wind down play golf after he com pletes wind down play golf after he completes his trip to the uk. further protests at... a large—scale investigation continues in vulture after please identify the source of
