this is bbc news. the headlines at 8pm: president trump plays a round of golf at his turnberry resort during his "private visit" to scotland. thousands of people protest on the streets of edinburgh in a second day of rallies against the president's uk visit. the boys rescued from a cave in thailand will be reunited with their families this week. one of the boys‘ father has been speaking to the bbc. translation: he said it was an enormous struggle inside the cave. it was, of course, dark and there was no food. when he comes out of the hospital, i want to hug him and tell him that i love him very much. england finish fourth in the world cup, after losing 2—0 to belgium in st petersburg in the third place play—off. in the women's final at wimbledon, it wasn't to be for serena williams. there it is now. she missed out on her 24th grand slam, losing two sets to love to the german angelique kerber.

and coming up — the fight over uluru, australia's sacred mountain. that's in reclaiming the rock in half an hour on bbc news. president trump has played golf at his resort in ayrshire, as thousands of people in scotland staged their own protests. marches were held in glasgow, dundee and edinburgh, and some demonstrators heckled the president at his turnberry course. from there, here's the bbc‘s ros atkins. those organising donald trump's visit the uk have been very careful to keep the president away from the protestors who they knew would be turning out to object to his visit and to object to some of the policies he has pursued

from the white house. today, though, as he spent a couple of nights at his turnberry golf resort, it has been impossible to avoid the protestors. we knew he was going to play golf. he has played golf on over 50 weekends since arriving in the white house at the beginning of last year, and so he turned out today, but so did protestors who knew he would be out playing 18 —— weighing 18 holes. so, in this report from lorna gordon, you will see in a day of protest, part of it saw the president and the protestors coming face to face. this has been described as a private visit to scotland, but president trump is not publicity shy. making his way round the turnberry fairways, acknowledging the waiting media and protestors. donald trump, the businessman, owns two golf courses in scotland. donald trump the president calls his ayrshire resort "magical". president trump has described his trip to turnberry

as two days of meetings, calls and hopefully some golf. he has managed to play a round, but it has not been entirely relaxing, protestors getting close to the course. demonstrations too, in scotland's capital, where many thousands took to the streets of edinburgh. we don't agree, he doesn't have a special relationship with the british people and we just need to exercise our right to protest. it is notjust trump, it's the billionaire class that is dominating our world and we have to get rid of them. this is now the third day of protests. not impressed, says the minister hoping to cut a deal with the us after brexit. i don't think that the protestors were an embarrassment to the government, i think they were an embarrassment to themselves, and i think that when you have the president of the united states, the leader of the free world being greeted with signs that say you know, "go home we hate you", i don't think that reflects the genuine good manners

and hospitality of the british people. hello, glasgow! the diplomacy seemingly strained at other points too. it has been reported that donald trump has said he hates scotland's first minister, nicola sturgeon. addressing a pride march in glasgow, she said it's the policies not personality that matter. many people in scotland and across the uk, and we have seen that over the past couple of days, take strong objection to some of the policies of the trump administration, the treatment of minorities, and women, or most importantly, the separation of migrant children from their parents, and i think it's important we don't have diplomatic silences round those things but we all have the ability to speak out. last night's security breached by a greenpeace campaigner who got close to donald trump is being investigated. security here is very visible, and tight, until the president leaves for helsinki tomorrow.

lorna gordon, bbc news at turnberry in ayrshire. well, let's talk through some of the issues donald trump's visit to the uk has raised, with james kirk, one of our correspondents who has been travelling with the trump team. first of all, let's start with the uk—us trade deal. from the uk's perspective that was the priority. where do you think we've moved to from where we were a couple of days ago? as is quite often the case with president trump, we have been marched up the hill and marched down again. we had the interview with the sun in which he suggested that the prospects for a trade deal after brexit had been killed, because of theresa may's plan for brexit. i think the nub of that is the problem for the americans, that the uk under her plan would retain european regulations and standards and the americans don't want that, because they want to apply their regulations and thus opening up trade in more goods they can send to the uk, but in truth, although the rhetoric has changed, from this attack

in the sun to warm words, that problem actually remains, so i'm not sure we've moved too far at all. so if that's the number one issue from the uk perspective, on a global level, arguably the meeting with vladimir putin on monday is the biggest event of this trip. we are just hearing that it looks like there will be a joint press conference which is one to put in ourdiaries. yes, that's right. that is what we had expected would happen and it seems now that we are moving towards the vladimir putin donald trump show in helsinki, when the pair meet there. for the us media, really, frankly, although for president trump the meeting with the queen and his image of the queen was essential, this has been a warm up act, really, ahead of the big meeting. partly because of the investigations into alleged collusion between the trump team and russia, and partly, just because of the wider geopolitical issue and the seriousness of it, crimea being the big example that some nato allies

are very worried about. russia's illegal annexation of crimea. will president trump move towards in some way being softer on that? we'll see. now he's inconsistent in some ways but the president is certainly consistent in his hostility to the media in particular. he loves us! he has a strange way of showing it if he does. he is particularly hostile to certain news networks in the us, nbc, cbc, cnn in particular. you've spent a couple of days in the company of these men and women, i wonder whether the hostility feels real, or whether when you see it up close it is more of a pantomime? i think it actually swings between both. some points it feels like a pant ant mime butjournalists become genuinely frustrated because they feel it is affecting their ability do theirjob and to fairly tell the story of this presidency, because he won't, for example at the news conference take a question from cnn and were annoyed about that. they're a major network. that is a problem for them. then there was the to and fro with tom newton dunn of the sun

who conducted the interview, what was interesting about that was the president saying that an interview for which the tape had been published already, was fake news, why does he do that when it is easily, you can easily prove it isn't fake news? he does that because his supporters, back home, probably won't read the sun and willjust hear the message, the news is all lies, don't believe what you say and that helps him deflect criticism. all right. thank you very much indeed. eleanor, the president spending one more night in his hotel behind me and tomorrow, round about the time the world cup final is beginning the president will take off and he will head in the direction of helsinki and vladimir putin. and we'll find out how this story — and many others — are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:40 this evening in the papers. our guests joining me tonight is playwriter and contributor to the new european bonnie

greer, and political commentator charlie wolf. the 12 boys and their football coach who were rescued from a cave complex in thailand are to leave hospital on thursday, when they'll be reunited with their families. the father of one of the boys, who's the team captain, has told the bbc the team had feared for their lives, and he is looking forward to hugging his son. martin patience reports. they are arguably the world's most famous football team. the latest pictures from hospital with the boys building up their strength. this player wants to eat crispy pork and fried rice. another boy is after some sushi. and a third wants a kfc. thank you so much. after the darkness of the cave, they now have the light to draw. one of those recovering is 13—year—old dom. his father has spoken exclusively to the bbc. translation: he said it was an enormous

struggle inside the cave. it was of course dark and there was no food. they drank the water dripping from the roof of the cave. the coach got them to meditate every day. it created a tight group. and they all stayed together. they must have feared they were going to die in that cave? translation: yes, because children are not like adults and cannot control their emotions in the same way. in the darkness some of them must have been crying. i think many were afraid of the dark. what is the first thing he wants to do when he gets out of hospital? translation: when he gets out i want to hug him and tell him i love him very much, and we need to celebrate his birthday and have hot pork for him because that is what he will want to eat and a big cake so he's happy. dom will not have to wait long for that belated birthday, officials say that the boys will be out of hospital in a few days. martin patience, bbc news, thailand.

some news that is coming in to us, the ministerfor small some news that is coming in to us, the minister for small business, andrew griffiths, has resigned from the government after sending media m essa 9 es the government after sending media m essa g es to the government after sending media messages to his constituents that are apparently of a sexual nature. andrew griffiths, who was the minister for small business, has resigned from the government. iain watson is here to tell us more. what do we know? we know in effect that andrew griffiths jumped before do we know? we know in effect that andrew griffithsjumped before he was pushed, because there was going to bea was pushed, because there was going to be a story in tomorrow's sunday mirror citing some damaging text m essa 9 es mirror citing some damaging text messages he sent to a couple constituents. the messages are of a sexual nature and the language he usedis sexual nature and the language he used is very offensive. the newspaper will publish the actual texts, but he was confronted with

this and decided to resign locks night. we expect to see a letter he will sent to the prime minister setting out the reasons for his resignation, but he's going but he isa resignation, but he's going but he is a junior minister who has been an mp since 2010 and he has a family, and he championed shared parental leave, and he is known to the prime minister because, when she was in opposition, he was her chief of staff. have we heard anything from him this evening in response? he sent a statement to the sunday era, which is publishing these allegations and texts, and he is apologetic but, in the statement, he says he is ashamed of the behaviour, which has caused untold distress to his wife and family but also embarrassment to the prime minister and a government he says he is proud to serve in. there is a code of conduct for ministers which is now likely to be investigated by the

party itself. thank you for that. over 400 items, samples and exhibits have been recovered by police as part of the ongoing investigation into 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 small bottle found at his house in amesbury. 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. i spoke to our correspondent andy moore earlier this evening and asked him if today has been a significant breakthrough. it's not a significant breakthrough. i mean, what we got today was a long and detailed description ofjust how difficult, time consuming, dangerous this operation is, especially in this hot weather. i mean, we saw some of the pictures there of the infrastructure around charlie rowley‘s house. what police have to do is plan their operation in advance, they have to put on those hazmat suits in the forensic tents, with temperatures up to a0 degrees celsius. because it's so hot,

they can only work in the house for 15—20 minutes, they come out, they have to take off those suits again, takes another a0 minutes, being very careful of course not to contaminate any other areas — ambulance crews, fire crews standing by, just in case. the police officers, all volunteers, have to undergo regular testing to make sure they're not exposed to the poison. because it's so complicated, they can only do these investigations twice a day. 0k. despite that, they have recovered these 400 items. most importantly, that bottle of poison that is being investigated to see if it's the same batch that poisoned sergei and yulia skripal. we had a brief statement from neil basu, the national lead for counter—terrorism. he said it's not an exaggeration to say that the search process linked with both this and the salisbury investigation has been one of the most complex and difficult that uk policing has ever faced. and what about people living locally, what does

all this mean for them? are we going to see the police in the area for some time to come? yes, i mean police say they will be there for weeks, if not months. they say it will be a very long operation. they say the reason, of course, they are carrying out this investigation, not only do they want to find out who carried out this crime, but they want to be sure there is no risk of other contamination, no risk to the general public. so it will be a very detailed thorough meticulous investigation and it will take a long time. the headlines on bbc news: president trump's visit to the uk continues. he plays a round of golf at turnberry, as thousands take to the streets to protest against his visit. the boys rescued from a cave in thailand will be allowed to leave hospital later this week. police in wilshire recover more than 400 items and samples in connection with the poisoning of dawn sturgess and charlie rowley, who were exposed to the nerve agent novichok. for a full round—up

from the bbc sport centre, here's james pierce. good evening. angelique kerber has won her first wimbledon title, beating seven times champion serena williams in the final. williams, playing in only her fourth tournament since becoming a mother, had started the match as favourite, but she was outplayed the german. 6—3, 6—3 was the score. joe wilson was there for us. in tennis, serena williams is the star who draws in the stars. the duchess of scott six —— sussex also to support. tiger woods was with the williams camp. angelique kerber didn'tjust williams camp. angelique kerber didn't just match serena, williams camp. angelique kerber didn'tjust match serena, she went past her. first set, 6—3. serena was strangely tentative where kerber was definite. maybe the big occasion

came too early in serena williams‘s come back, but kerber maintained her poise and profited from errors. in 2016, williams beat kerber in the final here. today, nobody really expected kerber to win in 65 minutes, not even her.|j expected kerber to win in 65 minutes, not even her. i knew i'd have to play my best tennis against a champion like serena, and it's a lwa ys a champion like serena, and it's always an honour to share a court with her. to all of the mums out there, i tried today. but, with her. to all of the mums out there, itried today. but, you know, angelique played really well. two sets, two duchesses and then out to meet 100 cameras. kerber‘s day but, if you had a seat on centre court today, there was loads of entertainment. the hangover match, djokovic and nadal resuming their semifinal after friday night, hammer and tongs. this was tennis on the

edge. in the final set, djokovic eventually triumphed, 10—8. he'll be back for more tomorrow but also today, britain's gordon reid and hewett today, britain's gordon reid and h ewett wo n today, britain's gordon reid and hewett won the wheelchair doubles here for the 30 in a row. angelique kerber, at 30, has plenty of time for more of this. —— the wheelchair doubles for the third year in a row. england's world cup adventure has come to an end with a 2—0 defeat by belgium in the third place play—off. england had their chances, but belgium were worthy winners, earning their best ever finish at a world cup. here's our sports editor dan roan. it's the match no team really wants to play in, a reminder ofjust how close you came to the main event. but for england this was at least a chance to end a stirring campaign on a high. they say no one remembers who finishes third at the world cup. but belgiun's hunger was immediately apparent. less than four minutes gone when thomas meunier stole in. despite still being the tournament's top scorer, harry kane had failed to find the net in his last two matches and here again

it was not quite happening. eric dier then denied by a desperate goal—line clearance from tottenham team—mate toby alderweireld as england improved. a brilliant belgian counterattack then ended with thomas meunier bringing the best out ofjordan pickford. great save in jordan great save injordan pickford! but there was nothing he could do when eden hazard went past philjones to cap a fine performance. england's great russian adventure finally ending with back—to—back defeats. it was a really difficult challenge, probably a step too far for us. i reflect that the players have given absolutely everything right the way through. i am incredibly proud of what they done. i think we have gone beyond what we thought was probably possible and we also know where we sit. you know, we're a little bit off the top four or five teams in the world and we have never hidden from that, really. this team returns home far from the finished article but the last month shows they are now heading in the right direction. england's cricketers have

taken their three match one day series against india to a decider after winning the second match by 86 runs at lord's. joe root returned to form with a century and david willey hit 50 from 31 balls as england made 322—7. india slipped to 60—3 in reply and despite the best efforts of captain virat kohli, who made 45, they were eventually all out for 236. it's still the same man wearing the leader's yellow jersey after stage eight of the tour de france. greg van avamart has an overall advantage of seven seconds over wales's geraint thomas. another sprint finish today, but mark cavendish is struggling forform and ended up in seventh place, still not won a stage this year. first over the line was dutch sprinter dylan groenewegen, his second stage win in a row. defending champion chris froome finished in the main bunch, he's 12th overall. that's all the sport for now. i'll be back in an hour.

the former sinn fein president, gerry adams, has appealed for people who carried out an attack on his home in west belfast last night to meet him. an explosive device was thrown at the house. it follows several nights of rioting in londonderry, which police have blamed on dissident republicans. our ireland correspondent, john campbell, reports. for six nights this week, young people from a republican area of derry have attacked the police. the chief constable said they were being directed by a group of violent dissident republicans who oppose sinn fein and the peace process. yesterday, a rally was held in the city, where sinn fein condemned the dissidents, saying they were using young people as cannon fodder. and this may have been the dissidents' response, a crude explosive device thrown at the west belfast home of gerry adams. it caused damage to a car parked on his driveway. today, mr adams called on his attackers to explain themselves. i would like them or their representatives to come and meet me.

i would like them to sit down and explain to me what this is about. i would like those who are involved in exploiting children in derry to do the same thing. there was a second attack, not far away, at the home of another senior sinn fein member, though no damage was caused. dissident republicans are small in number. they have been heavily penetrated by the security services and have little capacity to mount attacks, but events here and in derry show they remain dangerous. john campbell, bbc news, belfast. the israeli military has launched a wave of airstrikes against dozens of militant targets in the gaza strip in retaliation for mortar and rocket fire into israel from the palestinian territory. palestinian health officials say that two people have been killed and 12 more wounded by an airstrike in gaza city. footage shows a series of loud explosions in gaza city and plumes

of smoke rising into the air. the israeli ambulance service says three israelis have been wounded by shrapnel from a rocket. the london fire service says a large grass fire near heathrow airport has been brought under control. nearly 100 firefighters had been fighting the blaze on grassland the size of four football pitches in feltham. heathrow airport says flights are not affected. the former pakistani prime minister has begun a ten—yearjail sentence. he arrived back in the country last night from the uk. nawaz sharif was convicted in absentia by an anti—corruption court last week. but he says he's the victim of a political conspiracy that aims to ensure his party loses in the country's upcoming elections. secunder kermani was on the plane back to pakistan with him and has this report. nawaz sherif was met by a crowd ofjournalists as he boarded

a flight heading to lahore. he knew that when he landed he'd be arrested. i know that i'll be going straight to the jail, of course. this is a struggle for the restoration of democracy in pakistan, for the restoration of sanity to the vote, and i am prepared to pay any price for that. sharif‘s supporters claim the real reason he was convicted is because the pakistani army want him out of power ahead of the elections. defying roadblocks, cuts to mobile phone service and pre—emptive arrests, thousands turned out in lahore, hoping to welcome him. the decision that came is not right, it's not correct. that's why they are going to support nawaz sharif, and the pml is going to win the election with more majority. in the end, sharif‘s arrival

was overshadowed by a huge suicide bombing on an unconnected political rally in the western province of balochistan. the build—up to the elections is becoming increasingly fraught. landing in lahore, he and his daughter were surrounded by security officials, waiting to fly them to a jail in rawalpindi. for some, nawaz sharif is a corrupt politician finally being punished. for others, he's a political martyr. how the majority of the country view him will play a large part in determining the elections. it's taken two years to build at a cost of more than £200 million. now britain's new polar research ship has finally made it in to the water. the rrs sir david attenborough, which was nearly named

boaty mcboatface, was launched into the river mersey this afternoon by the man himself. our science correspondent, victoria gill, has more. 3, 2, 1... launch. years of work leading to this momentous splash. britain's polar research ship afloat for the very first time in the river mersey. it was famed for the public‘s decision to make it boaty mcboatface, but 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 450 kilometres of wire. and while she is 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's 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 unchartered territory. one of the things i was very keen on putting on the vessel was a forward facing sonar, so that gives ua an image a kilometre ahead of the vessel, 3—d representationn of the sea bed. so it means we'll be able to go into these place, 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. missions don't get any more ambitious. searching for the origins of life and the secrets of universe. now a vast new project's been unveiled in south africa that could bring some of the answers a step closer. andy beatt reports. scanning the skies of south africa,

a key new part of the world's biggest and most powerful radio telescope. 64 dishes, collectively called meerkat, are built at a cost of $330 million. they'll link up with thousands more across africa and australia. a scientific mega project known as the square kilometre array. these are cameras taking pictures of galaxies outside our solar system, and the more antennas we have, the better. meerkat aims to unlock cosmic conundrums, from dark energy to detecting extraterrestrial life. it will search the reaches of space 10,000 times faster than before, and with 50 times the resolution. taking images like this one, a supermassive black hole at the centre of the milky way 25,000 light years away. or this, the first image

meerkat captured, showing 1,300 galaxies, only 70 of which were previously known. the pioneering project is pushing the frontiers of science and putting south africa in the spotlight. what's great today is we're seeing an instrument that is the best of its kind anywhere, and what that means is people like myself, other people who aspire to this, can grow up in an environment where they have access to that facility right on their own doorstep. hundreds more telescopes are planned here and in kenya and ghana, expanding meerkat‘s reach still further. they're due to be fully operational in the late 2020s. andy beatt, bbc news. an iceberg the size of a hill has drifted close to a small village on the western coast of greenland, prompting fears that waves could overwhelm homes there.

the village, which has around 170 residents, has been partially evacuated. it's feared the iceberg could break apart, with waves flooding the coastline. now it's time for a look at the weather with nick miller. much of the country has enjoyed a lovely weekend day, with plenty of sunshine round but it hasn't been like that everywhere. north—west scotla nd like that everywhere. north—west scotland has seen cloud, rain, it has been increasing in northern ireland, the cloud and from it overnight, we will see rain moving in here and by the end of the night there could be heavy burst, largely clear in england and wales, temperatures at their highest overnight in scotland and northern ireland. some round 17, maybe 18 celsius, so a warm night to come.
