complex and difficult uk policing has ever faced". it's the world cup final this afternoon, with france the favourites to win against croatia in moscow later. and novak djokovic says he hasn't got "much to lose" as he faces kevin anderson on centre court now for the wimbledon men's final. novak rock pitch takes the lead with two set against kevin anderson in the wimbledon men's final —— novak djokovic. the us president has left turnberry after a final quick round of golf. he is on his way to fly to finland, where he will have that historic meeting with president putin. ros atkins is that turnberry and is following the president'svisit. we saw that huge convoy leaving, a relatively discreet departure if you can have such a huge convoy going

quietly through those scottish roads. but after a visit which has been anything but low—key. roads. but after a visit which has been anything but low-key. yes, it was really interesting, actually, carol. i just walked was really interesting, actually, carol. ijust walked up the road in the drizzle a few hundred meters from where i'm standing talking to you now. it was the staff exit and entrance to donald trump's turnberry golf resort. the motorcade is vast, i lost count at 25 vehicles, it goes on and on. but there was one moment that really struck me as all of those cars went by. the president was in one of the cars towards the front of the convoy. and i was there along with a few press crews, i guess we must have total 20 or 30 people, and may be 30 or a0 locals here in turnberry had also worked out this was the way the president would leave and had come along to see his motorcade and see him leave. the president waved to them through the window of his highly armed vehicle. it struck me, this has been one of the few moments to ring this whole trip to the uk where the

president has had any opportunity at all to interact with regular people —— during this whole trip. the only other opportunities have come in the form of protest here in scotland, where people were doing and playing back out at him when he played golf —— people were booing and playing bagpipes. there was a huge sign at the front of his resort hotel, just behind me, and donald trump thrives on flattery and connecting the people who like him. remember how obsessed he was with the size of his inauguration crowd. i think while he won't be saying it out loud, it probably has been difficult for him to visit a country where he's been kept away from ordinary people almost completely. he goes on, of course, to that summit in helsinki with president putin. he's been somewhat playing down expectations ahead of that. but, whatever happens, this is going to be quite some meeting. it will be. i mean,

the president'ssaying he's got minimal expectations. he says he won't tell us what he wants to take away from this meeting. i'm sure we can be reasonably confident that once the meeting is done he will declare it to be a success. he tends to you that after big international summits, whether it was nato last week or meeting kim jong—un. summits, whether it was nato last week or meeting kimjong—un. but in terms of the level of importance, the president said this could be the easiest part of his trip to europe. well, we'll have to see about that. but if you look down the list of things he has the talk do with what a boot in, you wouldn't think it would be easy. there's the issue of the novichok and salisbury poisonings, you have been talking about that in the news. you got syria, where both russia and america militarily involved. you've got the huge issue of crimea, which russia annexed from ukraine, and while there are sanctions in place, american sanctions and sanctions of america's allies directed at russia because of that annexation. 0n

america's allies directed at russia because of that annexation. on top of that, you have the murder investigation which just on friday in blighted i2 investigation which just on friday in blighted 12 russian intelligence officials and is accusing them in some detail of hacking the democratic cottage ring the 2016 presidential election in order to swing the election in favour of donald trump —— accusing them of hacking the democratic party. there are huge number of issues on which the president could take up a number of points with vladimir putin. he won't tell us, so we will have to wait to see how this conversation goes, and how thatjoint press conference goes, which will be quite a spectacle is the bike ros, many thanks for the latest from turnberry. during president trump's visit, he met the prime minister, theresa may, he battled of the protest, which were held with thousands of people joining demonstrations. and theresa may has revealed that president trump's advice to her on brexit was to sue the european union instead of

negotiating with it. she made the disclosure as she defended her tekkers plan for a deal with the eu. it's -- tekkers plan for a deal with the eu. it's —— her tekkers plan. it's been widely criticised by members of her party. here's our political correspondent, eardley. teeing off at turnberry in ayrshire this morning, president trump catching a quick round of golf on the last day of his uk visit. it began with him warning a post—brexit trade deal could be off the table. but he then said a deal will absolutely be possible, and revealed he'd shared his own strategy with the pm. i gave her a suggestion, not advice. i wouldn't want to give her advice. i gave her a suggestion. i can fully understand why she thought it was a little bit tough. and, today, we found out what that suggestion was. he told me i should sue the eu! sue the eu?! sue the eu! not go into negotiations, sue them, actually... no, you know, we're going into negotiations with them. did you think about that even for a second?! the pm is getting advice at home, too. some believe we should

stay close to the eu. others, that we need a clean break. and ahead of key votes in parliament this week, she had this warning. some people are saying that they want to vote in the trade bill to keep us in the customs union. i say, that's not acceptable, that's not what the british people voted for. others are saying, well, perhaps we cannot have the bill at all. that would be damaging to our no deal preparations. so, let'sjust keep our eyes on the prize here. the prize is delivering leaving the european union in a way that is in our national interest. at chequers, the prime minister's country retreat, the idea was to reach a plan the government could rally around. but its left some conservatives very unhappy. they don't want to kill key brexit legislation this week, but... the government unfortunately believes that brexit is not a good thing in itself. it seems to think it has to be tempered with non—brexit. brexit is enormously positive, a huge opportunity for the country, and i'm afraid the prime minister doesn't see that, and it's why i think she is a remainer who has remained a remainer. labour is warning it may not support the plan.

the bottom line is, brexit‘s in a complete mess. and here we are just months away, weeks away, from trying to get some sort of deal, and it doesn't seem to be coalescing around anything whatsoever of any significance. the uk's brexit plan has often been hazy, at best. but as it becomes clearer, many questions remain. nick eardley, bbc news. nickjones is in the studio, thanks very much indeed. resident trump has had no qualms about making his views on brexit clear, we have been hearing more about that. we have indeed, and more specifically on the idea that he gave theresa may advice on how she should negotiate. there area on how she should negotiate. there are a lot of people, clearly domestically, we spoke about it for the last two years, who have been given the prime minister advice about what she should try and get out of brexit, what she should try

and prioritise, the various red lines that she should have full stop there's been less of that from international leaders, with the exception of some on the eu side. now, president trump gave an interview to our colleagues at cbs yesterday, and here's what he had to say on the specifics of the advice. well, i'd rather have her tell you that, jeff. idid well, i'd rather have her tell you that, jeff. i did have advice that she maybe didn't take, i mean, maybe she'll take it, it's something she could do if she wanted to. but it was strong advice, and i think it probably would have worked. you know, they're having a very hard time in terms of the separation. and we'll is the what happens. but certainly it is advice that she may ta ke certainly it is advice that she may take down the line, i don't know. but i'd rather have her tell you what that advice was. certainly you do think that president trump might have had a state visit, but he still

got to have tea with the queen. yes, those remarkable pictures from friday afternoon outside windsor castle, inspecting the guard, wandering around the grounds, chatting to the queen. he was asked about that in the interview, too, and here's what he had to say. about that in the interview, too, and here's what he had to saylj just thought it was a great meeting, you know, those are very personal meetings, and i guess from the etiquette standpoint where not supposed to be talking about it. but she'sjust a supposed to be talking about it. but she's just a fantastic person. sharp, really brilliant in so many ways. she's done an incredible job representing her country. she loves her countries owe much. that was obvious to me. and one thing that was so obvious to me. and one thing that was so obvious to me is how much she loves her country. and she really is a very special woman, i really enjoyed it. president trump talking about his tea with the queen. but of course, he goes on from here to that historic meeting with president putin. and he's being essentially going around the world dispensing with all the diplomatic niceties,

and talking to bit more about his view of world diplomacy. yes, i mean, this has been quite a whirlwind tour of various capitals as president trump negotiates new funding for nato first ball, then he was obviously here, and now he is on his way to helsinki to see president putin -- his way to helsinki to see president putin —— natick festival. at the start of this trip, he said that the putin meeting might actually end up being the most straightforward of this whole trip, the easiest of this whole trip, which raised a few eyebrows at the time. but he's been asked in this interview yesterday who his biggest competitor is, now, who his biggest competitor is, now, who president trump thinks is his biggest folk. i think we have a lot of those. i think the european union isa foe, of those. i think the european union is a foe, what they do to us in trade. you wouldn't think of the european union, but they are phone. russia is a foe in certain respects. china is a focus —— if of economic

league. but that doesn't mean that they are bad, it doesn't mean anything. it means they are competitors, they want to do well and we want to do well, and we are starting to do well. you see what's going on, we have the best employment numbers probably that we ever had. unemployment is the lowest level in history —— black and implement. women unemployment is the lowest in 66 years. our numbers are great. 0ur gdp lowest in 66 years. our numbers are great. 0urgdp numbers lowest in 66 years. our numbers are great. 0ur gdp numbers are far greater than what they thought. president trump. 0f greater than what they thought. president trump. of course, on his way to helsinki to meet president putin. that visit was always going to be hugely controversial. and we did see big demonstrations out on the streets, particularly in london and in other cities on friday. some very controversial remarks about brexit. what is the british goverment‘s view on how this visit has gone? i think it could have gone a lot worse than it did. we saw a glimpse of that overnight from

thursday into friday, when the sun published that remarkable interview in which president trump seemed to suggest that the nature of the tekkers plan meant that our trade deal with the united states was off the table —— the chequers plan. i think they will be happy that they managed to roll back from that and get the president said at the press conference the next day after those talks with the prime minister that one did appear to now be possible. quite how that pans out over the next couple of years and whether the president changes his mind again, remains to be seen. the comments this morning from the prime minister feeling what president trump —— revealing what president trump a told her in that advice, to sue the eu. we've not had that from him yet, the interview we've played wasn't a direct response to that interview. but i think it was a safe bet to assume the prime minister went been taking up on that option. and one

suspects a few sighs of relief in downing street that the visit is finally over. for now, nick eardley, thank you very much indeed. and we are going to talk about that visit and the ongoing tour by president trump injusta and the ongoing tour by president trump injust a moment. but before we do that, let's just take france. because we are just some ten minutes or so away from kick—off in the world cup semifinal. we were hearing earlierfrom our world cup semifinal. we were hearing earlier from our correspondent in paris about the enthusiasm of the french crowds, and, look, there you can see it, all the way along, looking out towards the eiffel tower in paris. huge crowds out on the street, waiting for that kick—off. undoubtedly, of course, egging on and praying and cheering for their hopes that france will, at the end of the contest, be lifting the world

cup trophy. huge crowds there out on the streets. and we will bring you more on that as well as events u nfold more on that as well as events unfold in this afternoon. let's go back to president trump's visit and talk to ros atkins, who has been following that tour. he is at turnberry, where the president played a final round of golf before he set off this morning. and it was interesting to hear him there absolutely lavishing praise on the queen, and in some ways, for all the political controversy that has been, one suspects that from the president'swhen the view, actually meeting the queen and having tea with her is one of the highlights —— by president'spoint of view. without doubt. if you ask many american commentators, they would say it is the highlight. the uk perspective on this trip has been very much focused on that trade deal, which the uk has the cut with the us after exit has occurred. but if you look at it from an american perspective, this was in

pa rt an american perspective, this was in part a picture story as well as a policy story, and the fact that the president got to meet the queen, there was that photo with the queen, donald trump and melania trump, these are things which donald trump will undoubtedly treasure. and you've got to see this in the context of his family history, as well. his mother, mary mcleod, grew up well. his mother, mary mcleod, grew up on the island of lewis in the outer habit is here in scotland. she travelled to america to be a domestic worker aged 18 —— the outer hebrides. for her son to return as president of america and meet the queen at windsor castle, this is the stuff of dreams for the president, a fa ct stuff of dreams for the president, a fact there is no doubt. but that trip is going to be put firmly into his memory, into the photo albums. he has to turn his attention to this big summit with vladimir putin tomorrow. mr putin has plenty on his plate today, he is at the world cup final, which is going to kick off in a few minutes' time. tomorrow, he will travel to helsinki to meet with donald trump. i've been speaking to

ambassador william courtney, a former us ambassador to kazakhstan and georgia. i was interested to talk him, because the americans have not released any agenda for this summit. so here his so here is his assessment of what we might expect. well, it will be important for the white house to have a summit which has some concrete achievements. the summit with kimjong—un has some concrete achievements. the summit with kim jong—un did not have concrete achievements, just a very generaljoint concrete achievements, just a very general joint statement and concrete achievements, just a very generaljoint statement and nice atmospherics. but to be later, the north koreans were accusing the americans of the gangster like tax ex “— americans of the gangster like tax ex —— two weeks later. —— gangster like tactics. this time, there needs to be some concrete achievements. and what might those concrete achievements look like in the european union? at first, in the ronald reagan and mikael gorbachev summit, aftera period of ronald reagan and mikael gorbachev summit, after a period of intense relations, something like now, the two presidents talked about nuclear

arms and other big issues, but the actual concrete achievements were on low key issues, exchanges of people, education and culture, opening up. so it probably would be prudent for the white house to pursue some accomplishments, just to ensure that there are some. it's quite hard, -- loki, judgments. it is quite hard to view how president trump views russia. he called nato members delinquent over their defence is burning. when he arrived in the uk, he gave an interview on the cutting plans for brexit. he hasn't been so outspoken about russia in the build—up to this summit. outspoken about russia in the build-up to this summit. he has for a long time said that he would like david luiz and with vladimir putin. if you look at actual us foreign policy —— a good relationship with

that a putin. us foreign policy has been pretty consistent through the years. president trump sign up to the nato communique, which had some tough language with regards to russia. last august, president trump signed into law sponsored sanctions which would extend sanctions against russian entities for election interference and aggression in ukraine. and president trump has approved the supply of anti—armour missiles to the ukraine. so us policy with regards to russia has been pretty firm, and will remain so. been pretty firm, and will remain so. yes, the president will take off from here in scotland and head to finland in the next few minutes. he will be travelling, of course, an air force one. and then it's tomorrow that he will meet by demay putin. both mr putin and mr trump have really not spoken —— he will meet vladimir putin. they have not spokenin meet vladimir putin. they have not spoken in any specifics about they will talk about, so we are left guessing to some extent. if we were to make a list of things they could

talk about, it would be very long indeed. that visit to the united kingdom has been hugely controversial. the president has been managing to seize the headlines on exit. we saw this huge demonstration in london and other cities over the weekend. but for from the president'spoint of view, that meeting with the queen, he's never a man who is unhappy about dominating the news agenda. the white house entourage presumably will be pretty happy at the way this controversial visit has gone on? well, they will certainly be happy about how the visit to see the queen at windsor castle went. from that point of view, a personal point of view of the president, we know he's a man who responds very well to attention and flattery, and there's nothing more flattering for a country to do than to lay on that kind of welcome and to allow him to

spend time with them on it. in terms of how the policy story played out, i think the fact that mr trump acknowledged that he had apologised to theresa may on friday because of the way he may have come across in that interview with the site was a measure of just how that interview with the site was a measure ofjust how badly that particular interview had gone —— with the sun. you got to remember the domestic political context here. theresa may had spent all of that week dealing with the resignations of david davis and borisjohnson, dealing with the criticisms of brexiteers, who said his proposal that you put forward at chequers and that you put forward at chequers and that the cabinet agreed to actually is not the brexit that we wanted. and for the american president to come in and give an interview to the sun newspaper, one of the biggest selling newspapers in the country, and say that plan totally don't work, it will kill off the prospect ofa work, it will kill off the prospect of a us— uk trade deal, even by mr trump's standards, that was an abrasive move, and i think the white house would acknowledge that some bridges needed to be built. and if

you looked at the home which mr trump adopted in that press conference, lavishing praise on theresa may, saying that having been briefed further he thinks a trade deal is possible, that was about as close as the white house and donald trump are going to get the same, look, this was misjudged, and we know we need to roll it back a little -- know we need to roll it back a little —— are going to get to saying. ros, many thanks for the latest from turnberry. now, returning to something like, after that presidential visit, thank you very much indeed. breaking news coming to us, which is another resignation over the prime minister was a brexit proposals. robert courts has said that he has taken the difficult decision to resign as a pps that is the lowest on the government ladder, —— the lowest rung, to express discontent with the chequers deal in the vote tomorrow. he was a pps at the foreign office. we've got those votes coming up in

the house of commons on the customs and trade bill. and there have been indications from another of staunch brexiteers that they plan to use this legislation to register their unhappiness with the plan which was hatched at chequers. but courts now saying he has taken the difficult decision to resign, to express discontent at the vote tomorrow. "i had to think who i wanted to see in the mirrorfor the had to think who i wanted to see in the mirror for the rest had to think who i wanted to see in the mirrorfor the rest of had to think who i wanted to see in the mirror for the rest of my life, i cannot tell the people of west oxen — his constituency — that i support their proposals in the current form." not a household name, but it comes after a whole string of resignations, another indication of the scale of unhappiness in the conservative party at theresa may's plans. now, let's just conservative party at theresa may's plans. now, let'sjust take conservative party at theresa may's plans. now, let's just take you to birmingham. because the plane has just arrived there bringing the england team back from their world

cup campaign. of course, that campaign sadly ended in defeat when they were knocked out in the semifinals, and they then had, of course, the play that play—off against 0ldham, when they were beaten once again, 2—0, on saturday —— against belgium. this is actually going to be a pretty low—key return to the united kingdom. we are told that not only are there no plans for some kind of open top bus tour, but also that england fans were told by the authorities at birmingham airport to stay away, because the airport said it simply didn't have the capacity to deal with that sort ofan the capacity to deal with that sort of an event. so, it will be a low— key of an event. so, it will be a low—key return to home soil for the england team. but of course, huge

amounts of plaudits for the way they conducted themselves, for having got so far in the tournament, for having exceeded expectations. and, of course, the world cup final is about to kick off in moscow. let's catch up to kick off in moscow. let's catch up on the weather prospects closer to home. sarah keith—lucas has all the details. hello there. for many places, the warm and glorious summer weather continues through the course of the weekend. but things are starting to change. this was the scene sunday afternoon in hastings, beautiful blue skies. as we head through this coming week, things will gradually start to turn cooler. there will be a chance that the sunshine will be interrupted by rain, which will be welcome across parts of the country that has seen barely any rain over the past six weeks or so. the rain we are going to see at some point is all down to fund assistance moving in from the high—pressure keeping things strike

over the south and east of the uk. so high—pressure keeping things dry. this is the cloud of ranger ring sunday afternoon, northern ireland and the western half of scotland it has been raining —— during sunday afternoon. but eastern scotland, things up remaining dry. this evening and overnight, we will set to see more cloud pushing into north—west england, and wales, with a few spells of rain. northern ireland, clearer, drier and a few spells of rain. northern ireland, clearer, drierand fresher overnight. in the south—east, 17 degrees in london is the overnight low, feeling warm and humid on monday morning. another warm and humid day the central and eastern parts of england on monday. but a change behind the cold front, cloud in eastern scotland, northern england and wales, with sharp showers as the front makes its wake eastwards. temperatures ranging from 20 in belfast the near 32 was

london, a contrast in temperature east to west behind that cold front —— near30 east to west behind that cold front —— near 30 towards london. this will be welcome rainfall for parts of the country that really are desperate for a bit of rain. most places look largely dry, with a mix of sunny spells and one or two scattered showers bubbling up almost anywhere with the daytime heat. the bridge is 22-25 with the daytime heat. the bridge is 22—25 for most of us, 5 degrees cooler than we have seen at the weekend. the middle of the weekend, sunny spells, temperatures not doing badly. it will turn cooler and wetter towards the end of the week and on into the weekend. bye—bye. this is bbc news. i'm carole walker. the headlines at a.00 — the us president, donald trump, has left his turnberry

resort in scotland this afternoon and is on his way to meet the russian president in helsinki. the prime minister has revealed the advice she was given from us president donald trump about brexit. he told me i should sue the eu! sue the eu?! sue the eu! not go into negotiations, sue them. actually, no, we're going into negotiations with them. did you even think about that for a second?! we're going into negotiations with them. theresa may also warned conservative mps they are putting brexit at risk by arguing over her proposals for how the uk will leave the eu. if we were going to find something that was in britain's interest, that delivered on the referendum and that was negotiable, we had to make what is a compromise, but is a positive in terms of the benefits that it gives us.
