this is bbc news. i'm christian fraser. the headlines at 8... a historic handshake. donald trump and vladimir putin hold face—to—face talks, the first summit between the two leaders. president putin described the discussions as very successful. mr trump said they had been open, direct and deeply productive. our relationship has never been worse than it is now. however, that changed as of about four hours ago. today's negotiations reflected our joint wish, a joint wish with president trump to address this negative situation in the bilateral relationship. donald trump is being widely criticised by many powerful figures in the us for defending russia over claims

of interference in the 2016 us presidential election. us house speaker paul ryan said mr trump must appreciate that russia is not our ally. we'll have all the reaction from here in helsinki. i'm rebecca jones in london with the rest of the day's headlines. the government bows to the demands of conservative leave supporters and accepts four amendments to its brexit trade bill. a very good evening. welcome to a beautiful night here in helsinki. the two leaders... the two leaders

donald trump and vladimir putin have left already. the two have hailed a new constructive dialogue between their countries following the first us—russia summit in eight years. the two men pledged to improve relations and to cooperate on arms control. president putin denied he had interfered in the us election though admitted he had wanted donald trump to win. he said he did not believe russia has been involved in interference in the election in 2016 despite all the evidence presented to him. and president trump pointedly refused to back repeated allegations by us intelligence that mr putin did interfere. vladimir putin from his part probably on the plane back to the united states this evening with champagne corks popping because from his point of view, he got everything they wanted from this press briefing. he had the image of the american president standing next to him, a reset of the relations and no condemnation of scant condemnation from the american president for many

of russia's transgressions over the recent yea rs. of russia's transgressions over the recent years. a little talk of croatia, 0f crimea, beg your pardon, of ukraine or of the knowledge to attack in salisbury which has been labelled at president putin's door. —— of the novichok attack in salisbury. it was said that it was tantamount to treason but the german foreign secretary said his country can no longer trust the white house. 0ur north america editorjon sopel reports from where the meeting took place in the finnish capital helsinki. as befitting two self—proclaimed strongmen, there was a power—play from the off. vladimir putin arriving almost rudely late into finland... it was a bit late... ..leaving donald trump kicking his heels for nearly an hour. but then, against the constant whirr of camera shutters, they sat down at the presidential palace in helsinki to start their discussion. i think we have great opportunities together, as two countries that, frankly, we have not been

getting along very well for the last number of years. i've been here not too long, but it's getting close to two years. but i think we will end up having an extraordinary relationship. i hope so. i've been saying it, and i'm sure you've heard over the years, and as i campaigned, that getting along with russia is a good thing, not a bad thing. the world wants to see us get along, we are the two great nuclear powers, we have 90% of the nuclear — and that's not a good thing, it's a bad thing. and i think we hopefully can do something about that, because it's not a positive force, it's a negative force. translation: the time has come to talk in a substantive way about our bilateral relations, and the many problem areas of the world. with rather fewer cameras present, the two men met for the formal handshake. they then sat alone, just them and translators, for two hours, before the working lunch. i think it's a good start, a very good start for everybody.

that turned into a media scrum, until the secret service had had enough. and there was a small fracas before the news conference began — a man sitting next to me was evicted, who'd planned to hold up placards. but then the two men appeared, and while not going as far as to claim it was a new dawn, the president was happy to say today had been a turning point. 0ur relationship has never been worse than it is now. however, that changed, as of about four hours ago. i really believe that. a lot‘s been made of the unusual relationship between the two men. donald trump has never criticised his russian counterpart. was that because of collusion during the election? the russian leader was dismissive. translation: can you name a single fact that would definitely

prove the collusion? this is utter nonsense. and then this question. does the russian government have any compromising material on president trump or his family? translation: yes, i did hear the rumours that we did collect compromising material on president trump. when mr trump was in moscow back then, i didn't even know he was in moscow. i treat president trump with utmost respect. for his part, donald trump was again insistant there had been no collusion in the 2016 presidential election. just to say it one time again, and i say it all the time, there was no collusion, i didn't know the president, there was nobody to collude with. and with president trump praising vladimir putin for his handling of the world cup, the russian leader literally and metaphorically passed the ball to donald trump for how the relationship between the us and russia should develop. jon sopel, bbc news, helsinki.

some prominent republican and democratic members of the us congress strongly criticised president trump for failing to deliver a strong warning to president putin about meddling in american elections, saying trump has sent a message of weakness to moscow. senator lindsey graham, a senior republican and member -- paul —— paul ryan said that russia must be held accountable on in violent attacks on democracy. senatorjohn mccain said today s press conference in helsinki was one

of the most disgraceful performances by an american president in memory. it is clear the summit in helsinki was a tragic mistake. senator lindsey graham, a senior republican and member of the senate tweeted earlier saying... the talks come days after after the justice department announced the indictments of a dozen russian intelligence operatives for allegedly hacking democratic targets in the 2016 us presidential election. when asked whether he would extradite the 12 russians allegedly involved in election meddling. putin instead detailed a plan, which trump later described as an incredible offer. translation: we can offer that the appropriate commission headed by special attorney muller, he can use this

treaty as a solid foundation and send a formal official request to us so that we would interrogate, we would hold a questioning of these individuals who he believes are privy to some crimes. and our law enforcement are perfectly able to do this questioning and send the appropriate materials to the united states. moreover, we can meet you halfway. we can make another step. we can actually permit official representatives of the united states, including the members of this very commission headed by mr mueller. we can let them into the country, and they will be present at this questioning. but in this case, there

is another condition. this kind of effort should be a mutual one. then we would expect that the americans would reciprocate, and that they would question officials, including the officers of law enforcement and intelligence services of the united states, whom we believe are... who have something to do with illegal actions on the territory of russia. a reporter at the press conference asked mr trump if he believed that putin played a part in the allegedly election meddling. just now, president putin denied having any interference in the election in 2016. ivory intelligence agency has said they have. my first question is, who do you believe? my second question is, would you now, with the whole world watching, tell president vladimir putin, denouncing what happened and warned him never

to do it again. let me just say we have two thoughts and groups are wondering why the f b i never took the server. where are they. what happened to hillary clinton's e—mails? 33,000 e—mails just happened to hillary clinton's e—mails? 33,000 e—mailsjust gone full i have great confidence in my intelligence people but i will tell you that president putin was extremely strong and powerful in his denial to day and what he did is an incredible offer. they offered to have the people working on the case, and work with their investigators with respect to the 12 people. i think that's incredible offer. with respect to the 12 people. i think that's incredible offenm with respect to the 12 people. i think that's incredible offer. it is worth remarking that we intelligence agencies, the senate intelligence committee and his chief intelligence officer have all told the president that as far as they are concerned, the russian interference in the 2016 election but as he's all right there, there was mr trump contradicting some of his most

senior officials. 0ur washington correspondent, jane 0'brien, joins us from washington. just looking at some of the responses tonight, it is plainly obvious that this becomes partisan and there are some real gas to languish on the democratic side but from republicans, those who have nothing to lose in the mid—term checking out, they are speaking out. from senior republicans, the less senior figures, from senior republicans, the less seniorfigures, not very from senior republicans, the less senior figures, not very much. that is an important distinction to make, christian because we are getting the most outrage from those republican who, as you say, are retiring or not standing for re—election again so they have felt the rated in the last to be able to criticise the president but chuck schumer, the democratic senate majority leader, said that these republicans, senior republicans, should be saying more. it's not enough to express support

for the russia enquiry and robert muller's investigation, they have two also call out the president on his actions and we're not seeing that at the moment, even as they get paul ryan and the reason i have my glasses on is because there is a large reaction and i have to read it. even the house speaker paul ryan said the president must appreciate that russia is not our allies, not any words ofjohn mccain, one of the most senior republicans, that it is one of the most disgraceful performances by an american president in memory. there was a big difference then what we are seeing. john brennan of course gave one of the most powerful statements when he said that the conformance was nothing short of treasonous. we're nothing short of treasonous. we're not hearing treasonous coming from many other republicans at all. i think they are still by ingesting this, i think they are clearly

rattled but just what to say and how to say it is something they are clearly still pondering. i'm wondering, when you look at this reaction and the fact that he is practically undermining his senior chief intelligence officer, sitting there are next tojohn bolton, his national security adviser, who has taken a very hawkish line on russia, how do these people stay with the as bug administration given the reaction you just outlined? ensure they are all banging our heads against a wall right now. it's a very good question and is being raped by democrats, dan coats was mentioned by a name. raped by democrats, dan coats was mentioned bya name. —— it raped by democrats, dan coats was mentioned by a name. —— it is being raised by name. he was —— he has put that out and he says they are clear and our that out and he says they are clear and oui’ assessment that out and he says they are clear and our assessment of russian meddling, the 2016 election, and

there i'm going pervasive efforts to undermine our democracy. that is nowhere close to the moral equivalence that was drawn by president trump, making some kind of moral comparison between the us and russia which seems to have angered both sides of the debate the most commonly notion that the us is on the same moral footing as russia. the fact that dan coats has seen fit to travel a statement clarifying within less than an hour of that press c0 nfe re nce within less than an hour of that press conference taking place, that just shows how undermined the senior official seal. people being very hawkish on russia and i think they will probably revert to the cases where they will be going, tidying up, trying to make sense of us

policy in relation to what the president's heirs and this is not the first time they have been in this decision and it looks like it won't be last. —— not the first time they have been in this position. you're watching bbc news. joining me now is professor david honig from the mckinney school of law at indiana university in america. he's an expert in the art of negotiation, and has been following trump's visit. how would you score his performance today? if you want one of my students, he would not be at the top of the class. i would say that is properly an understatement, yes. what would you say particularly strongly about the press conference? because right from the beginning of the day, when president putin arrived, slightly slumped in a chair, picking his nails while

listening to president trump, it almost looked like president trump at the other hand, that you think? no, i don't. at the other hand, that you think? no, idon‘t. i at the other hand, that you think? no, i don't. i don't want to comment too much on politics than just the negotiations, when you look at what was going on today, the message that was going on today, the message that was received was that to president putin, this was not particularly important he was there and trump was there with a need. all the messages that are being sent from the russian side, 0k, we are what do you want? so, what do you think, having watched working out of the press conference, what do you think the russians achieved first of all, out of the negotiation today? identify what was negotiated to date. what the russians achieved among other things as parity with the united states over on the side of the atlantic, we speak about interaction, sanctions, how to protect elections in 2018 and 2020

and what we saw was president trump and what we saw was president trump and president putin standing together as if none of this has happened so before president trump even spoke about president putin's denial over what intelligence agencies had said, the message he sent was very clear and it's as we are here together and moving forward together. do you put that down to the fact, i wonder if we of this in singapore with the meeting with kim jong un that donald trump puts more in the leg importance on the personal relationship and less on the country? a don't want to go that far. i would the country? a don't want to go that far. iwould put the country? a don't want to go that far. i would put it slightly differently. president trump has a particular amount of confidence in his ability to build personal lace and ships and that comes from history and business he was buying and selling, not working in anything

as complex and international as these relations. the way he started these relations. the way he started the negotiation, though, has baffled some people because when ronald reagan came into the negotiations in the early 80s, he criticised russia and said it was an evil state and then from there, from a very low point, he built up the relationship. it seems to me that today's president trump has given away an awful lot without very much in return. we don't know what he has given away or what he has gotten in return. what we have seen is a personal relationship and perhaps the creation of a personal relationship but we don't see anything else. we don't know what he was asking for what he got. 0ne anything else. we don't know what he was asking for what he got. one of the concerns his he went in alone as jane allen. there were not teams of people who are specialists in international asians or trade and we don't know what the as or the answer

was. thank you much. you might adjusting be turning round. they've been fabulous hosts here in helsinki today with the sprinkler system has just come on on the lawn in front of the conference centre and there were a number of cameras that were fixed on the lawn there and sent them all running. there we are. everybody running for cover this evening here in helsinki, perhaps donald trump as welljudging by some of the reaction that is coming from the united states. he is 110w coming from the united states. he is now an air force one back to the united states. on edge for seven or eight hours while this reaction is playing without any ability to spin it in his way. what sort of headlines of the land to when he gets back to the united states? that is the situation you're in helsinki. let's get a full round—up of the sport. they won the world cup a

little bit over a 24—hour video and you suspect the french players as a whole nation have not really stopped celebrating since. didier deschamps and his squad received a hero ‘s‘ welcome in paris this evening as hundreds of people lined the streets of the shops everyday to catch a glimpse of the second french team to wind the world cup. —— the champs elyssee. president macron will give the squad the country's highest accolade. that is that from the crowd but he was it from a player on the bus coming from varane. amazing scenes. things were a bit more low key for the defeated croatia team but they to do —— they, too, received an open top bus parade

through zagreb. cristiano ronaldo believes players of his age could have moved to qatar china but he is grateful for the opportunity afforded to him after his move to is juventus was confirmed today. the 33—year—old met fans and showed off his new number seven shirt in turin after leaving real madrid for almost £100 million. the portuguese forward said he had not received any other offers for his services. said he had not received any other offers for his serviceslj said he had not received any other offers for his services. i will be ready. juve is ready, i will be ready. juve is ready, i will be ready. as i said before, the age is not important. i feel good, ready. as i said before, the age is not important. ifeel good, ifeel motivated. exciting. so, iwill try to do my best like always and i'm looking forward to starting the league well and try to wind every title. cricket news and alistair cooke is playing himself into some former head of the upcoming test series in india. he scored an

unbeaten century on the open day of the england lions tour match with india a. not the strongest of bowling line—ups but a not out supported by half centuries by gubbins and malan. is nice to score runs. i said i wanted to play in this game because we've not had much to play in essex. they would probably rather have a look at someone else younger but for me, i need the opportunity to play a bit more cricket so it worked really well. and england opener has had a little choice to be fit for the deciding one—day international against india. he suffered a finger injury during the wind at lord's. hampshire's james vince and sam billings of kent have been added to the squad. if an world champion is the squad. if an world champion is the big new signing for a wind impossible to team. she is not

correctly racing because she is pregnant but briton will leave her current squad at the end of the season and veteran current squad at the end of the season and veteran eugene don't see her as a risk while she's pregnant, they see her as an investment and a valued athlete. anthony joshua they see her as an investment and a valued athlete. anthonyjoshua has announced his next ballot. we will fight on the 27th of september at wembley stadium. we will defend all of his belt against the wba's mandatory challenger and the first time the brittle and will have fought in wembley rinses famous victory over vladimir critchlow in 2017. he said it is a serious challenge and only a fool would underestimate what he had to the backtrack what he brings to the table. that'll be sport for now. more at 10:30pm. theresa may has caved in to pressure from tory brexiteers over her plan for leaving the european union, and neutralised a potential rebellion by those mps who were looking to reject her brexit proposals. meanwhile, calls by a former cabinet minister for a second referendum to break the political deadlock over brexit has been ruled out by the government.

0ur political editor, laura kuenssberg, has been following the latest developments. oh, wow! 0bjects might not be what they first appear. theresa may's carefully manufactured brexit compromise might now be missing some of its crucial parts. the prime minister is sticking to her script, but the chequers plan is the right one. —— that the chequers plan is the right one. our proposal sets out the right plan for the uk, honouring the democratic decision of the british people, protecting the integrity of our precious union, supporting growth, maintaining security, and safeguarding british jobs. are you running for leader, mr johnson? it is notjust the resignation of two senior ministers she has to worry about now, even if boris johnson

is yet to move out of the foreign secretary's swanky pad. he and david davies both quit over the plan, believing it keeps us too close to the eu after we leave. do you regret resigning? no, not for a moment! but dozens of tories were ready tonight to vote against the government to protest but, facing defeat, ministers backed down on some parts. it is quite clear that chequers and the white paper that was published last week simply do not restate what the prime minister had committed, even something like ten days ago. downing street is trying to claim that they haven't given into the eurosceptic group. i would not have gone through all the work i did to ensure that we reached that agreement, only to see it changed in some way through these bills. frankly, that is just not what many mps believe. one has to wonder now, who is in charge?! who is running britain? is it the prime minister, or is it the honourable member for north east somerset?

i know where my money is sitting at the moment! confused about what is going on in there? well, it took months for theresa may to get most of ministers to agree the chequers compromise. it might not have been perfect, but it was a plan that number 10 hoped would endure. some brexiteers were so cross with elements of it that they produced some of their own tweaks to try to force her to back down. it was a power—play and for today, at least, number 10 has let them have their way. but if parliament, day by day, finds it harder to agree anything should, in the end, the big choice come back to you? i would have liked it if parliament could have reached a compromise, but it is clear that it can't, and you either put your head in the sand or recognise that reality, you are pragmatic, and then you ask yourself, what is the way that we can still get through this and that we can still perhaps deliver on the brexit that people wanted, that we can still put the choice in front of the british people?

politicians are miles away from agreeing that. having another brutal referendum, a fight that could be tougher on all sides than the last time round. but ideas about how to move forward are in short supply. and, fiona, if it looks like a mess in westminster tonight, that is because it is a mess in westminster tonight. the prime minister came up with chequers plan over many, laura, in westminster, thank you. another eventful week for brexit — who knows what comes next? joining me in the studio now to discuss the events of the past week is mark di steffano who is a media and politics reporter at buzzfeed uk. great to have you with us. banks we re great to have you with us. banks were coming in. let three wind, go back nine days to this deal that was done at chequers. this is going to be way the uk exits the european union. is that deal dead any water? tier absolutely and that is what is so funny because i had to bring notes in because it is days ago and

it feels like an absolute age ago. this was the deal to reason a brokered with her cabinet and eve ryo ne brokered with her cabinet and everyone in the room raised a toast and said yes, we agree. —— this was the wheel theresa may brokered. it unravelled on sunday. we had david davies really dramatic late night resignation and on monday afternoon we had a situation where the chief cheerleader for brexit boris johnson was resigning. already the main players in the room where the big pro brexit base in that room were saying this is not good enough for them. when we talk about the personnel around the room that are supposed to sell brexit to the public, they are already stepping back and saying this is not good enough forecasts so of talking about theresa may's deal, at that moment, we are saying that a point, and inflection point where the deal is starting to fall apart even within

her in cabinet let alone her own party, which is even more divided. as you say, we had the resignation of david and david davies, boris johnson, we'll yet to hearfrom borisjohnson. is the leadership challenge on the cards at the moment? there was a lot of talk on borisjohnson moment? there was a lot of talk on boris johnson having moment? there was a lot of talk on borisjohnson having this big resignation speech in the commons, standing up and saying this is why i resigned and kind of causing potentially the first domino to fall in those letters being written to the 1922 committee which could cause a no—confidence vote in the prime minister but what we saw this afternoon was interesting because david davies was the first person, the first big resignation to stand up the first big resignation to stand up and say in the commons this afternoon, start talking about why he did resign. he was making an argument against theresa may's plan. that was an interesting moment but a lot of those guys about boris johnson are trained on wednesday and

i think that when they mark could really be a chance for borisjohnson to really stand up and make that india should challenge really stay seated and go along and think to himself, now is not the time, i need to write my time. another interesting moment today with justine greening, another interesting moment today withjustine greening, the another interesting moment today with justine greening, the first senior tory calling for a second referendum. can you see that happening? justine greening was for many people on the remaining side are passionate vocal voice in the remaining camp, somebody who is very articulate and can make the case forcefully, who said if we were to have the situation where we have a gun and up parliament and the numbers don't lie either way, we need to take it again and have another referendum with three choices, so we're becoming more complex and i think the chances of a

second referendum probably got closer today than they were before but she needs other people who will support the call. there was some speculation today that amber rudd, the former home secretary, and green could say this is the way forward, but we haven't seen that yet, so justine greening coming forward is a development but i still think that second referendum will not necessarily be something the public support. mark di steffano, it's been good to talk to you. thank you. and we'll find out how this story, and many others, are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:45pm and 11:30pm in the papers. 0ur guestsjoining me tonight are lucy fisher, the senior political correspondent for the times, and the author and journalist rachel shabi. now it's time for a look at the weather, with louise lear. today has been a tale of two halves.

it's been hot and humid in central and southern areas but the weather front has brought more cloud and rain, and introduced something fresher. that is welcome news, and we have seen some rain which is welcome for the garden, hit and miss, some of it quite heavy through the evening and overnight across the north of england and south—east scotland. the showers will fade away further south, behind the week have at mild night. we start off tomorrow ona at mild night. we start off tomorrow on a quiet note, some fair weather cleared but largely fine and dry and a scattering of showers across north—east scotland and england in the afternoon. top temperature of 25 degrees. hello, this is bbc news

with rebecca jones. the headlines: donald trump and vladimir putin hail their first face—to—face summit as a success and "a good start" to improving relations. but mr trump is being widely criticised by policial figures in the us, with former republican presidential candidate senatorjohn mccain describing it as "one of the most disgraceful performances by an american president in memory." the government bows to the demands of conservative leave supporters and accepts four amendments to its brexit trade bill. the number of eu citizens leaving the uk last year was the highest on record, according to new figures. and here we go again — hollywood stars are on the red carpet in london tonight for the world premiere of the mamma mia movie sequel. downing street has rejected calls from the former cabinet minister

justine greening for a second referendum on the uk's exit from the eu, saying it will not happen "in any circumstances". the former education secretary argued the final brexit decision should be given back to the people and taken out of the hands of "deadlocked politicians". we have to recognise that parliament's reached an impasse, we have to recognise that the prime minister's decision is the worst of all worlds and we need to go back to either as soft brexit, a clean break that most believers were voting for 01’ that most believers were voting for or staying in the eu. joining me live from central lobby in westminster is the co—leader of the green party, caroline lucas, who has campaigned strongly for a second vote, and chris skidmore, the conservative party's vice—chair for policy, who voted remain

in the 2016 eu referendum. good evening and thank you for joining us. caroline lucas, why do you want a second referendum? it's not a second referendum in the sense that it's not rerunning the question of two years ago, it's the first chance for the british people to have a say on the actual final deal and the reason i'm in favour of that is because so much has changed since two years ago, so much more information is available that it's right the british people have that seeks, for example the economic impact assessments show us to be worse off under all three of the different scenarios, not having money to the nhs, we will have an

nhs that is struggling for staff to fill it, so lots have changed, people need a say, then there is justine greening's argument that given that it looks highly unlikely we will get a breakthrough in parliament, there is another reason to go back to the people and get their say. chris skidmore, do you think now is the right time to either have a second referendum on whether we leave the eu or at least a people's wrote on what parliament decides? no. when it came to the referendum in 2016 we saw the largest number of people, 17.4 million people voted to leave the eu,i million people voted to leave the eu, iwas a million people voted to leave the eu, i was a remainder in that vote but my constituency voted to leave and the public would be outraged if politicians decided to reverse that result and plod forward. but we're

not flowing ford, where giving the issue back to the people so the idea there something undemocratic about going back to the people, they have not had a vote on what brexit will look like because the leaders of the campaign were clever about never setting out what brexit would look like, which is different from the referendum in scotland, whichever side of the debate you were on, at least the people who wanted an independent scotland set out what that would look like. the leaders of the brexit campaign didn't do that you deliberately because they wanted to have this fudge so they could pursue an extreme brexit where we out of the single market and the customs union. neither chris nor anyone else can second guess what those people think about that deal. dorisjohnson himself called the deal theresa may is trying to foist

on the british public some very rude words indeed, he called it basically they turd, so how else will we know what those 17.4 million people think u nless we what those 17.4 million people think unless we ask? so you think our vote would undermine democracy? to have a referendum you need to go to the house of commons to do so. it's clear the public expect this to get oi'i clear the public expect this to get on with leaving the eu and delivering for the 29th of march next year. we need our pragmatic deal with the eu and get on with the job and overwhelmingly people will punish us at the ballot box if we decide to change their minds. but your party doesn't support theresa may's deal, mps are standing up and trash this deal that theresa make

has brought forward. there is no unity in the tory party. at least the labour party is not closing the door to a people's wrote. i think we could get a majority for that proposal, we're getting unions and other organisations in favour of it, the momentum is now behind this idea. what about this argument that the parliamentary process is gridlocked? do you accept there is still made at westminster and perhaps a vote would unlock that? you cannot have a referendum without passing a referendum act, so you would need politicians voting by majority, you couldn't just would need politicians voting by majority, you couldn'tjust say let's have a vote, but it is very tight, the parliamentary process, we have seemed up to date with customs and we will see it tomorrow with the

trade bill that the government are listening to all sides and this will always be bad dialogue, we also have negotiations with the eu. we need to have a deal in march next year and we need to think optimistically about britain's future in the world. if you get this vote you say there is support for, what is your endgame? what do you hope to achieve, that the uk stays in the eu, and if so is it under the same terms it has now? different people will have different endgames but i wa nt to will have different endgames but i want to make sure people have a say. i was on the remaining side of the debate, i still am and i will campaign hard to remain in the eu and that should be an option on the ballot paper but i think its important everybody recognises that we are not trying to put the clock

back to use and pretend this referendum didn't happen. people are very angry, i don't think they were necessarily all angry about the eu, i think they were angry about living standards and access to public services, so those issues need to be addressed with more seriousness than they have to date, and one of the tragedies is that while we keep debating the latest twists and turns into reason may‘s processes, that ta kes into reason may‘s processes, that takes up all the oxygen in parliament and there is little thinking about what kind of changes need to be made to the country in terms of giving people more of a sta ke terms of giving people more of a stake in the future. many people voted thinking that things were so bad that they couldn't get worse, but my worry is that the type of brexit we are heading for could make people a lot worse off. how much is

this issue bound up with theresa may's leadership and how concerned are you that this could tear the party apart? i think the conservatives have more in common than what divides them. i've just been appointed chairman of the policy commission to look at what advantages we could take of leaving the eu,i advantages we could take of leaving the eu, i will be advantages we could take of leaving the eu, iwill be putting advantages we could take of leaving the eu, i will be putting together task forces to look at parliament, andl task forces to look at parliament, and i believed to theresa may looks at the injustices we have to tackle and she is determined to do that. we are grateful to you both for talking to us this evening. thank you. the number of the people coming to the uk from the eu compared with the number leaving has fallen to its lowest level in nearly five years. the office for national statistics says a total of 101,000 more people arrived than left the country in 2017. the overall migration figures show the government is still a long way

from achieving its target of cutting net migration to the tens of thousands. 0ur economics editor come out reports. —— carmyle ahmed. i never thought when i came here that something like brexit would happen. ifelt like that something like brexit would happen. i felt like a that something like brexit would happen. ifelt like a european citizen just using my freedom of movement. we could go to berlin, because there

seemed to be more security. there seemed to be more security. there seem to be citizens living in a european nation, and everything that goes with that. the stevens family just one of many deciding to leave the uk for just one of many deciding to leave the ukfora just one of many deciding to leave the uk for a new home where they think they will be welcome. emigration to the uk is changing. the numbers coming from the rest of the eu are falling and the numbers from the rest of the world are rising. in 2010, 77,000 more eu migrants came to the uk compared with the number who left — that's called net migration. you can see how that figure then rose rapidly to 184,000 by 2015. as the uk economy outperformed the rest of europe, we became a bit of a magnet, and bulgarians and romanians were allowed to move freely across the eu. but then the brexit referendum, and this massive, rapid fall to 101,000 people.

let's look at the rest of the world. here, numbers did dip for a while, but over the last two years the numbers coming have risen — to a high of 227,000. in total, in excess of 280,000 more people came to the uk than left last year. that's still well above the government's target of tens of thousands. well, we've been very clear that we want to see migration headed towards more sustainable levels, but it's important that, at the same time, industry and our public and private sector can continue to attract the skilled people that they going to need, whether that be from the eu or indeed outside the eu. since the referendum, overall, people have become less worried about immigration. but like here in bury, views are still mixed. there's too many coming in and not enough money to go around for our own. we've got people coming in from overseas helping us out with sort ofjobs that other people

in the uk might not want to do and stuff like that. so, it's a good thing, i personally think. hello, we'vejust landed in berlin! for anna and her family, an unexpected move away. britain may still be a very popular destination for the rest of the world, which economists think is important for our prosperity. but for many, it's no longer the place they call home. just back to that summit in helsinki, the first face—to—face summit between president trump and that amir putin, days after the us justice department announced the indictment of a dozen russian intelligence operatives for allegedly hacking democratic targets in the presidential election. at the summit donald trump defended russia

over claims of interference, he has been criticised and he has just said ina been criticised and he has just said in a tweet after the summit that he has great confidence in his intelligence people. so president trump there perhaps responding to criticism by many powerful political figures for defending russia at that summit over claims of interference in the 2016 presidential election. a bbc investigation has revealed the full extent of an islamist terror network founded in the uk which funded operations for so—called islamic state across the globe. the network was founded by siful sujan, a bangladeshi—born computer expert who settled in wales. he was killed in an american

drone strike in 2015 after it was discovered he d been sending funds and high—tech equipment to isis. but, as wyre davies reports, international police investigators say the network continued long after his death. sujan was an external operations planner, who was educated as a computer systems engineer in the united kingdom. december 2015, an american colonel announces the death of a top commander for the so—called islamic state. now that he's dead, isil has lost a key link between the network. that man was siful sujan, a bangladeshi national who'd come to south wales as a student and set up a successful it business. but sujan was also a supporter of isis. he helped develop weapons systems for isis, and finance some of its terror activities across the globe. the full extent of the terror network has only now come to light. sujan came to the fbi's attention when he sent thousands of dollars

to an isis sympathiser in the us, mohammed elshinawy. elshinawy was also sent bomb—making videos, and directed to carry out an attack. that never happened, thanks to the fbi. but experts say sujan‘s network was incredibly sophisticated. this is very unique. this is using shell companies, it is sending money across a number of different countries. it's the only known isis—funded plot in the us. sujan‘s influence continues to be felt around the world. he's been linked to is militants and operations in bangladesh, spain and wales. from the us, our investigation led to southern spain, where sujan‘s brother, ataul haque, was arrested at the end of 2017 after setting up an it company which, according to spanish police, continued to send thousands of dollars and high—tech equipment to isis supporters, long after his brother was killed by the americans. haque has not been charged with any

offence, and he denies the allegations against him. another man who worked as a computer expert for sujan‘s south wales company was abdul samad. he was named extensively in fbi papers as someone who facilitated the transfer of money and equipment to isis. he also allegedly expressed support for islamic extremism on social media. challenged over those accusations, and his recent contacts with haque, the man arrested in spain, abdul samad said the allegations weren't new and that no charges had ever been brought against him. what about the company? what about the company you were... he denies any wrongdoing and any involvement in a terrorism network, and says he does not hold extremist views. we've seen evidence that

siful sujan‘s network recruited at least 50 jihadi extremist in bangladesh, and may have financed terror attacks there in which dozens of people were killed. sujan‘s cell may now have ceased to function, but it demonstrated just how important financiers and technical experts are to extremist organisations like isis. ten years ago, the abba musical mamma mia smashed box office records with its winning mix of greek sunshine and singing hollywood stars. this week sees the release of the sequel, mamma mia: here we go again. sophie van brugen went to the premiere to meet stars lilyjames and dominic cooper. she began by talking to lilyjames, who's playing a younger version of meryl streep's character, donna. we're at the world premiere of mamma mia: here we go again. i'm here with the fabulous lily james, who plays the young donna.

that is quite big platform shoes to fill. yes, big platforms and sexy dungarees, yes. no, it was very overwhelming but i took it as an opportunity to study and embrace and learn from meryl and in particular what she did with donna sheridan was so spectacular and made the whole world fall in love with her. she's out of this world, so i tried to capture that essence as much i could. so i tried to capture when you heard you'd got the role, what was your first reaction, knowing how successful the first film had been? it's hard to really say because i'm a huge fan, i've seen the show multiple times, i saw it as a little girl, i love abba and of course saw the first movie, so it felt almost meant to be. i don't know, it's really special, i'm so grateful. dominic cooper, who's in the first... 0h, hi, back in the room again. uncomfortably close! getting out of my shot.

joking aside, ten years on, what made you want to come back for more? well, the first one was the best fun i've ever had on a film set and i knew that i was reassured by the fact that after ten years they'd obviously come up with a really wonderful story, they hadn't just piggybacked on the success of the first one and created something that wasn't worth the music, and they found a story that went click and worked something out which was wonderful and i read it and thought it was so heart—warming and life—affirming and it was beautiful to get to understand and know the characters that we'd come to love and work out what their history was. the great thing is with abba's back catalogue there were so many more songs to use. so many more songs, but what i was trying to say earlier was they deserved the wonderful story. you can'tjust hope for the best just because there's some good music and i'm sure you've spoken to the director, 0l parker, but it was interesting hearing what he said about throwing

all those songs onto a display board and then creating a story through them and around them and he's done that so well. was it fun with all the younger cast coming through, did you all enjoy, was it the same chemistry? it really was and i think that says so much about judy, who's the original creator, and i suppose the family which she's made, we all get on so well and after ten years we just fell back into friendships and then there was the new lot who've been cast in a way because they're such a sweet, lovely bunch of people, we all got on really well. i was sort of caught in between, i never knew which table i was meant to be at for dinner. the grown—ups or the children? i didn't know who i was. i still think i'm at the children's table. it's always more fun. absolutely. lovely to meet you, dominic. enjoy the premiere. kensington palace has released a set of photographs to mark the christening of prince louis, the third child of the duke

and duchess of cambridge. they were taken in the garden and morning room of clarence house following the service last week. the christening was the first time william, kate and their three children had been seen together as a family of five. now it's time for a look at the weather. and over on the other side of the newsroom is louise lear. what a day, a day of contrasts across the country. we saw some hot and humid weather for central and southern areas but further north and west it was different. in kent we had highs of 32, but further north and west, cloud and rain, this was north yorkshire a few hours ago. there is a weather front crossing the country, don't get too excited

in the south—east, it will not bring any significant rain that it will introduce something fresher. it is brought some rain and thunderstorms in the far north and east, that will continue through the evening but tonight we will see that rain eased away, so a few scattered showers, but i ended quieter weather, a fresher feel to things through the night, a more comfortable night, around 11—16d. we start tomorrow relatively quiet, a good deal of dry weather, cloud will develop through the morning and then a few showers across eastern scotland and north east england but look at the feel of things, 19 degrees for scotland and northern ireland, 25 further south. wednesday looks quite quiet on the

whole as we see temperatures sitting into the low 20s but indications of something a little warmer build in the far south—east as high pressure moves back across the country and it looks like we will see an area of low pressure into the far north—west but it will not bring much significant rain to the country, in fa ct we significant rain to the country, in fact we will have outbreaks of showery rain into scotland but at the same time a light south—westerly breeze with drag in more warm air, so we are likely to see temperatures creep back up to the high 20s. 0n friday there is a potential for some showery outbreaks but only to the north, elsewhere it will stay dry, settled and relatively sunny across england and wales and relatively warm again, temperatures in the high 20s. warm again, temperatures in the high 205. if warm again, temperatures in the high 20s. if you have outdoor plans for the weekend, it stays dry, settled and sunny so you will not be

disappointed. hello, i'm karin giannone, this is 0utside source. president trump tells the world he has no reason to believe russia meddled in the us election, suggesting he trusts vladimir putin's denials more than his intelligence services. all i can do is ask the question of president putin and he just said it is not russia. i will say this, i don't see any reason why it would be. standing side by side with president putin, mr trump refuses to citicise moscow on any issue and said the summit was a turning point in relations. we'll be getting reaction from washington. the wrangling over the brexit trade bill continues — as britain's government bows to the demands of conservative leave supporters and accepts four amendments. incredible scenes in the french capital where huge crowds gather to give their national team a heroes' welcome
