9:00 pm
hello, i'm karin giannone, this is outside 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 after their world cup win. and why one of the british cavers who helped save the boys trapped in thailand is threatening to sue elon musk. the highly anticipated meeting
9:01 pm
between donald trump and vladimir putin has taken place. and now, president trump appears to have sided with russia in the debate over interference in the us election. here are the two men together. the two men spoke alone for nearly two hours in helsinki. but it was the news conference between the two leaders that was really quite remarkable. here's one question put to president trump. every us intelligence a gmc has concluded that russia did it. my first question for you is who do you believe rose my second question is, would you now, with the whole world
9:02 pm
watching, tell president putin, denounce what happened in 2016 and warm him to never do it again. —— warn him. you have two sets of groups, the fbi, like they not take the set there? what happened to hillary clinton's e—mails? 30,000 e—mailsjust gone. hillary clinton's e—mails? 30,000 e—mails just gone. i hillary clinton's e—mails? 30,000 e—mailsjust gone. i have great confidence in in my intelligence people what i will tell you president putin was extremely strong and powerful in his denial today. that answer effectively sets president trump against the fbi and thejustice department. remember, hanging over the meeting are accusations of russian interference in the 2016 us election, and allegations of collusion in this effort by the trump campaign. and this meeting comes days after the us charged 12 russian intelligence officers with hacking. here's president putin on those russian interference allegations. translation: we should be guided by
9:03 pm
facts. could you mention a single fa ct facts. could you mention a single fact that would definitely fully prove the dilution? this is art of nonsense. “— prove the dilution? this is art of nonsense. —— definitively prove the cold fusion. mr putin also admitted that he wanted trump to win the 2016 election. us reporter ashley parker tweeted. .. and former cia directorjohn brennan when one step further, he tweeted. .. let's bring in christian fraser. he is in helsinki. so many extraordinary moments in this presidency. where the frank? -- well
9:04 pm
does this rank? is pretty low, i would say. remember it comes on the back of that extraordinary summit in brussels at the nato headquarters last week and then calling the eu a serves, undermining theresa may on her brexit plan and then on this undermining his own intelligence agencies. two countries that harbour 90% of the nuclear weapon is a any will to not be seeking to each other, many would say but it is the persistent refusal to accept intelligence from his own agencies. as you said, three different intelligence agencies, a senate intelligence agencies, a senate intelligence committee. on saturday, his own intelligence chief dan coats said the lights blinking on the dashboard, the warnings are there but today he prefers to believe the russian president as if in some way this undermines his election victory
9:05 pm
and that is why there are howls of outrage particularly from the democrats but from some senior republicans, those who are leaving congress at the midterms, they more than the others approach to come out and criticise him and i'm intrigued that in the last few minutes, donald trump aboard air force one, they are ana trump aboard air force one, they are an a seven—hour journey trump aboard air force one, they are an a seven—hourjourney to the united states, there was very little they can do to spend their way but donald trump is treating saying he does believe in a great intelligence agency but we have too focused on the future and not the past. his critics at home and say, yeah, we are concentrating on the future, worrying about mid—term elections and elections down the line and some of them believe he hasjust given them a green light. stay with us. let's speak about the body language and how warm it was between the two men. he literally and metaphorically
9:06 pm
pasta bowl and what questions of the 2016 election and why donald trump has been so vehement in his denial. he was a lot question. —— after president trump praised the russian leader for his handling of the world cup, putin literally and metaphorically passed the ball to donald trump for how the relationship should develop. but questions of what went on during the 2016 election, and why donald trump has been so vehement in his denial aren't going anywhere. here's another question from the press conference: do you have any comprising information on mr trump or his family? when he was in moscow back then, i didn't even know he was. i treat him with the utmost respect. given what we have seen, where does this leave the overall relationship between the two? interesting given you have just shown that through all. lindsey graham, one of the senior senators and someone who has played golf with donald trump just treated, if i were you, i'd leave the ball in the garden in case it is
9:07 pm
serves said that tells you where senior republicans are in relation to vegetation ship. what terrorism isa to vegetation ship. what terrorism is a separation between the president and administration, there was quite a tough line being taking from the administration from 2017. over 200 targets being sanctioned, closed down the consulate in san francisco, expelling 60 russians at the novichok poisoning in salisbury. supplying the ukrainian armed forces with defensive weapons in a fight against the russian backed forces are taking a tough line on sanctions of crimea. donald trump can point you all that and does in his press conferences but for some reason, no one can put your finger conferences but for some reason, no one can put yourfinger on conferences but for some reason, no one can put your finger on why, there was a refusal to criticise finally putin and a refusal to accept the work of his own intelligence agencies. where does that leave the relationship going forward ? that leave the relationship going forward? lets that leave the relationship going forward ? lets up that leave the relationship going forward? lets up there was something positive that comes out of it but the big question tonight is what they discussed in that you are a
9:08 pm
meeting within the translators, no record, no staffers? that is what balkans and a lot of people on the hill. -- balkans and a lot of people on the hill. —— what will concern a lot of people. thank you. now, i want to turn to a bizarre spat between these two. elon musk. the tesla and space x chief. and this is vern unsworth. a british cave diver who was part of the team that rescued 12 teenage boys and their football coach from a flooded cave in northern thailand last week. the billionaire businessman tried to help the rescue team with this this is footage elon musk posted online last week of his engineers testing a mini—submarine. this was when the boys were stuck in the cave. he took the device to thailand and gave it to the rescue team. the head of operations thanked him, but said, quote, "the equipment they brought to help us is not practical with our mission." mr unsworth was asked by cnn about mr musk‘s efforts, and said the sub had "absolutley no chance of working", and it was a "pr stunt".
9:09 pm
the tech—entrepreneur hit back in now—deleted tweets. mr musk firstly said he will make a video showing his sub going deep inside the cave "no problemo". and added this baseless attack. "sorry pedo guy, you really did ask for it." when challenged by a twitter user about using the unsubstantiated slur, mr musk said, "never saw this british expat guy who lives in thailand at any point when we were in the caves." mr unsworth travelled to the cave in the first days after the boys went missing. his knowledge of the cave network is said to have played a key role in the rescue effort. and he says he is now considering suing the tesla chief. while all of that's been going on. the rescued boys are on the mend. this is them in chiang rai hospital yesterday. they're holding a picture of the former navy seal diver, saman gunan, who lost his life trying to rescue them. they were only told of his death on saturday.
9:10 pm
they each wrote tributes to him on the drawing. buddhist monks have also held a ceremony outside the cave to honour the diver. a blessing drum signalled the start of the ceremony. in northern thailand, a drum is used to bless warriors and summon people to important events. today, prestigious monks and dignitaries gathered to send blessings to the spirit of saman kunan, the former thai navy seal diver who died during the operation to save the trapped football team. there were offerings, too — pig heads, a symbol of wealth and prosperity. ajahn robert is a british buddhist monk who lives in the thai capital, bangkok. he came to take part in the ceremony. we don't believe that the journey‘s ended just because his body has died. his karma, everything, just goes on and on, and we will pray for his good health, good luck in his next life, which has already started. over the last few days, thousands of volunteers have
9:11 pm
streamed into the area around the cave to clean up behind the rescue operation. this is the closest we've been able to get to the entrance of the tham luang cave complex in weeks, and what we can see now behind us is a security fence has been set up to stop anyone from getting in. there's also a security detail here, and what we've heard is that the authorities say it will take six months to clear the cave complex. there's a lot of equipment that was used during the rescue operation. today's ceremony was a chance for many to offer their own blessings to spirits and deities they believe guard these caves. one lady told us she had visited the cave before the rescue operation. she'd asked the spirits to keep the football team safe, and today she returned to show them her gratitude. howard johnson, bbc news, chiang rai province. stay with us on outside source. still to come... these are live pictures from the house of commons... mps have begun voting this evening
9:12 pm
on amendments to one of the key bits of brexit legislation. we'll be live in westminster. rail passengers travelling on trains run by govia thameslink in south east england have been getting to grips with their third new timetable in less than two months. our correspondent tom burridge has been at peterborough station. music bosses tell part of the story denied. they are simply on standby in case there are problems. —— these buses. it tells you how nervous govia thameslink is in terms of the destruction of this new timetable. we met a gentleman coming off a train that was delayed. other passengers had to get a bus for part of their journey and there was significant disruption on a line not farfrom here significant disruption on a line not far from here between significant disruption on a line not farfrom here between cambridge and london. overall, it has not been a bad day for govia thameslink.
9:13 pm
nothing like the destruction we saw backin nothing like the destruction we saw back in may when they try to invent a more ambitious timetable back then. the company has to get its act together. the company said tuesday, if it does not, —— the prime minister said today it doesn't, she will push to lose the franchise. this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. our lead story is... donald trump and vladimir putin hail theirfirst face—to—face summit as a success and "a good start" in improving relations. but mr trump is being widely criticised by policialfigures in the us for contradicting some of his most senior officials. other stories from around the bbc newsroom. the iraqi prime minister has called on security forces to be on high alert as protests enter a second week in the country's southern provinces. but he warned them not to open fire on unarmed demonstrators. so far 11 people have been killed
9:14 pm
and hundreds were wounded in clashes with police. people are demonstrating against unemployment, corruption and poor services. that's on bbc arabic. a group of villagers has killed nearly 300 crocodiles at a reptile sanctuary in the indonesian province of west papua. the slaughter was in retaliation — after a local man was apparently killed by one of the animals from the site. police say they may press charges. that's on bbc indonesia. let me show you these pictures live from the house of commons here in the uk. mps have begun voting this evening on amendments to one of the key bits of brexit legislation. theresa may has caved in to pressure from some of her own backbenchers and made changes to the customs bill. it's just over a week since the prime minister gathered the cabinet at her country residence chequers and then published her plan to leave the eu. but some of her own mps on the leave side thought that approach wouldn't be enough of a clean break with brussels.
9:15 pm
here's one of them speaking earlier. it's quite clear that checkers and the white paper that was published la st the white paper that was published last week simply do not restate what the prime minister has committed, even the prime minister has committed, even something like ten days ago in the house of commons where she herself said he would be taking back control of our laws, money and boulders. the white paper and details of it are very far removed from that. back in the commons meanwhile the prime minister's been insisting that she hasn't given in or changed course. i would not have gone through all the work i did to make sure we reach that agreement only to see it changed in some way through these bills. they do not change that checkers agreement. it's hard to exaggerate just how divided this issue has left the conservative party. here's one former minister, who backs remain. these are people who do not want a
9:16 pm
responsible brexit, they want their version of brexit. they then even represent the people who actually voted leave. the consequences of this are grave, notjust for our country but also for this party. one has to wonder now who is in charge? who is running britain? is that the prime minister or the robber member for north east somerset? i know where my money is sitting at the moment. she was referrring to this man, jacob rees mogg, a brexiteer. meanwhile, another resignation. this is scott mann, he's a ministerial aide. not a big figure but he's the ninth, in eight days, including of course these two senior members of the cabinet borisjohnson and david davies. leila nathoo is in westminister. there was exactly what they are about doing an. the temperature is
9:17 pm
certainly rising. you have an eclipse of strength of feeling that we have seen from across commons tonight. this is a key bit of brexit legislation that has become a vehicle, really, for people opposed to theresa may pars plans for brexit, agreed at her country residence chequers to try and change that planned by tacking on amendments to this bit of brexit legislation. this led customs bill going through the commons the night and mps have begun voting on it but what we have today was that the government was going to access the amendments that those brexit supporters was put forward and that has really angered the wing of the party so she had to quell a rebellion if you like i'm on the brexiteers of her past year later anger they remain. we are on the cost of seeing what will happen. remember this is very much a numbers
9:18 pm
game. theresa may does not have a majority so any rebellious mps can cause real trouble for her. she thought it was the brexiteers who would cause the problems the night but in fact its major outlet they remain as we may cause problems if enough of them then opposed the amendments and labour vote with them, they could be heading for a defeat but it's not yet clear what way to go but the whole episode is really illustrating just how hot theresa may is between those rival camps within her own party. —— how caught she is. and her plan is under attack not just from eurosceptics on the right, but from remain supporters too. one former minister, had this to say. parliament's reach pa rliament‘s reach and parliament's reach and impact. i think the deal is impractical and the worst of all world so we need to get back to the british people and give them the clear blue maxi clear choices we have on the table which isa choices we have on the table which is a soft brexit, the premise that's
9:19 pm
deal, a hard brexit that most leavers were voting for or staying in the european union. someone who agrees. a former head of the foreign office says he's read the entire brexit white paper. "too complex & would leave us half in half out.... "too complex & would leave us half in half out... clear proof that there is no good form of brexit. justine greening is correct. vital to have a public vote before march 2019 with option to stay in. the government however, was quick to dismiss the idea. the british people have a vote, they have their say and they said they wa nted have their say and they said they wanted to leave the european union. that is what we are going to deliver for them. now that's all just the debate inside the conservative party, but meanwhile in brussels, the actual negotiations — with the eu — restarted today. this is the agenda for today's talks. it just seems that
9:20 pm
itjust seems that reasoning is really under attack from both sides. how close are we to belittle crisis over this? —— theresa may is under attack. well, she is under pressure to call for a second referendum now with the plans being said to be a phage. that idea will not necessarily gain traction in the party and the government has no plans to recede to it but i think it isa sign plans to recede to it but i think it is a sign of the discontent brewing and we have seen open warfare in some ways between rival rings. insults traded, fingers pointed. you can really see the difference can, the extreme remain as against the extreme eurosceptics at each other‘s throw it over what is the best way forward and how the prime minister is falling between the two and so really is a very delicate situation in the prime minister has tried to
9:21 pm
play this balancing act for many, many months now and she finally came down on one side to present this brexit plan that she hoped would be a compromise. instead, teams angered both wings of her party and a sign i think ofjust how nervous the government is, it appears a motion to table the parliamentary recess to actually begin a few days earlier thanit actually begin a few days earlier than it is supposed to, this thursday instead of next tuesday, is to now be considered by the house tomorrow. it is a sign ofjust how high tensions are running that mps need a bit of a break. do you think theresa may's handling of this is starting to break? ishii losing patience? —— is she losing patience? she is trying to keep everyone on board and really one planet people and in party, let alone brussels,
9:22 pm
remember, this tricky negotiations with brussels on is just a remember, this tricky negotiations with brussels on isjust a deal britain is going to propose, those negotiations are not yet begun by trees and a really believes this is the plan for everyone to get behind full that lack theresa may believes this is the plan. she is not displaying any sign publicly of losing her nerve in that sense, sticking from the duet, insisting the amendments the armadillo leg excepting this evening do not change the plan, she said it is the plan. there is no going back from it. she said it is interesting —— it will be interesting to see what happens at the next few days. walkie legislation going through tomorrow. more rebellion on the horizon. a few more days and judging by the pace at which things are moving, it seems that anything can happen. thank you. the tv and movie streaming company netflix is releasing its latest financial results. the first part of the year saw profits and subsriber numbers soar. so what do the latest numbers hold? paul blake joins us now from new york. we're just getting news
9:23 pm
we'rejust getting news in we're just getting news in the last few minutes that it is off by considerable margin is considering subscriber growth which is the key figure in wall street is looking for. they were expecting to add over 1.2 millions of drivers here in the us, coming in atjust under 670,000 in the us. there are 5 million but that came in at 11.5 million al-qaeda the us. that is net additions. they still added 5.2 million subscribers in the second quarter of 2018. never the less, wall street is not taking this news likely. net flicks down about 13% in after hours trading which is fairly significant to be off. after what has been a fairly significant year for net flicks. wise user growth so critically important in this field? because net flicks has become synonymous with internet streaming, a heavy hitter in hollywood in the internet and to
9:24 pm
make the entertainment market. it's a past disney as the most valuable media company but investors and wall street are interested in what they will do to maintain the minimum and what it will do to establish its position as a heavy hitter going forward. net flicks said they are spending $8 billion on content but the original content, acquiring that from networks for subscribers to watch. nevertheless, wall street is very concerned about how it will compete with amazon, these knee when disney, if it decides to get into the streaming market. apple, itunes if they decide to wrap up their content production. subscriber growth key for wall street year. thank you. britain's prime minister theresa may is promising $455 million dollars of extra investment for the uk aerospace industry. this comes just weeks after airbus threatened to reduce its uk presence because of disruption caused by the uncertainty over brexit. warren east is the boss of rolls royce — and has been speaking to the bbc at the farnborough airshow in southern england.
9:25 pm
we are very pleased with the announcements, the culmination of a lot of discussion that has been happening over quite a long time. obviously it only happens once every two years so it is a great opportunity for the government to make the announcements but it's a reflection of what has been going on. it's great to see the understanding of the needs to continue to invest any sort of technology that has been required for industry and to keep the expertise in britain. now to some extraordinary pictures from thorncomb beacon in dorset in the south of england. a paraglider pilot has been rescued after crashing into a cliff. 80 metres up the cliff on sunday afternoon. he was fine. back in a few minutes. good evening. today has been a day
9:26 pm
of co ntra ct good evening. today has been a day of contract but for many of us, and other hot on tuesday. a cold front living through, bringing showery outbreaks of rain but more importantly bringing something a bit fresher for importantly bringing something a bit fresherfor a importantly bringing something a bit fresher for a couple of days at least. that said, it looks like that fresher feel will stay with us but the rain not amounting to do much over the next few days. sunny spells and mostly dry. we have a few shallows around but the highest values we have seen so far today, 30 celsius in parts of cambridgeshire and to the west of london but underneath that front, we've seen thicker cloud and outbreaks of showery rain at times as he can see by this pretty impressive picture across west wales. the rain has been sitting two reasons gotten. down across the northern england into wales as well and some of that heavy and sundry but they are very hit and miss, the shallows, so for the vet next few hours, the potential to see some welcome rain follows part in
9:27 pm
the parched gardens. most of which the parched gardens. most of which the rain will be across the pennines and the scottish borders. there are that in mind if you're out on the roads during the early part of the evening but as they go through the overnight period, it looks like that front will continue to weaken and the showers he's just a little. something a bit more noticeable is the fresher feel. more comfortable for sleeping for many of us. we look likely to see temperatures of ii-ilidc in the likely to see temperatures of 11—ilidc in the north but perhaps around 13 celsius, humid in the south—eastern side. a noticeable difference to the feel of the weather as they go through tuesday. still the risk potentially as he get into the day of a few sharp showers across north—east scotland and maybe north—east england but elsewhere, the crown lynn macleod breaks up. sunny spells around and more co mforta ble sunny spells around and more comfortable for getting outdoor jobs done. 16—19dc in the north. high values of 27 celsius. in the next
9:28 pm
few days, this high area of pressure building. things quieting down again. it does look like we all see things warming up. the far north—west sees more sunshine. last stages of the working week it is largely dry with temperatures returning in the south back to the high 20s i'm afraid. hello. this is outside source. president trump has told the world he has no reason to believe russia meddled in the us election, suggesting he trots vladimir putin's denial is more than his intelligence services. president putin says it's not russia, i cannot see why it would be. he refused to criticise moscow on any issue and said the summit wasa moscow on any issue and said the summit was a turning point on relations. we will get the reaction from washington. the wrangling over the brexit trade
9:29 pm
bill continues. incredible scenes in the french capital for a bill continues. incredible scenes in the french capitalfor a huge bill continues. incredible scenes in the french capital for a huge crowds gathered to give their national team a hero's welcome after the world cup win. those stories on outside tourists to come. stay with us. —— outside source. let's return to work top stories, president trump are appearing to say he trusts president putin's denials more than his intelligence services over allegations russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election. dan coats, director of national intelligence, said, we have been
9:30 pm
clear in our assessment of russian meddling and their attempts to undermine our democracy. paul ryan said there were clearly attempts to interfere in our election and there is no rural equivalence between the us and russia, and republican senatorsjohn mccain said the press conference was one of the most disgraceful performances by an american president in memory. let's go to junior brown american president in memory. let's go tojunior brown in washington. we get a sense that the most be handled criticism from republicans comes from those with nothing to lose. yes, what democrats want to see is criticism from republicans who matter, not the likes ofjeff flake, an open credit of the president, john mccain, paul ryan, all these
9:31 pm
people are retiring from government and not standing for election. what is more astonishing in this instance is more astonishing in this instance is the director of national intelligence clearly feeling impelled to push back against the president, don't forget he was publicly called into question at that meeting, saying went president trump said or implied that he might believe vladimir putin over the assessment of his intelligence community, he felt impelled to say we stand by those assessments and the pervasive and ongoing efforts of russia to undermine us democracy. that is pretty extraordinary, and it elicited a tweet from donald trump saying while he does support his intelligence community, in this insta nce intelligence community, in this instance he feels the need to create
9:32 pm
a new relationship with russia, but for dan coats to respond is amazing. what are we hearing in terms of support for donald trump making this meeting happen? there has been a lot of support. there is a widespread belief that relations with russia and you need to improve but not in this way. another trump support in congress said the president was right to question the ongoing investigation into russian meddling and possible collusion, so the president does have his supporters but the criticism we have seen so far has been fairly predictable. the people who criticised him in the republican party are people who have a lwa ys republican party are people who have always been critical of him. thank you, jane. in nicaragua, at least 30 people
9:33 pm
have been killed by attacks launched by government forces in the south—east. you can see protesters firing shots at police as they stand behind makeshift barricades. they sate security forces have been using live bullets against them. the protests were triggered by changes to the pension system that they are now focused on the president daniel ortega and they are calling for his resignation, claiming he and his wife are corrupt. human rights groups say the number of people killed in the last three months exceeds 300. let's speak to the regional america, exceeds 300. let's speak to the regionalamerica, candace exceeds 300. let's speak to the regional america, candace pete. tell us regional america, candace pete. tell us about these latest deaths. over
9:34 pm
the weekend the government has been doing what it described as a clean—up operation, removing barriers from streets and it's saying these protests are affecting the nicaraguan economy, so they went into towns around 30 kilometres south of managua and during those operations ten people were killed. four of them are police but now we are hearing reports from peasant union leaders who say 18 people were killed in one town, so the use of high velocity weapons, shots to the head, talk of snipers on the streets and severe control methods, people disappearing from their homes as well. is there any sense that these tactics are lessening the momentum of the demonstrations? that momentum seems to be on the side of the
9:35 pm
government, it has all the forced to quash these protests but the opposition and the students are leading these protests have said and sworn that they will continue to stand for what they believe in for democracy and nicaragua, but this is looking a bit like venezuela, the same tactics were used where you have heavily armed security forces against unprotected young people, secondary school kids standing for what they believe, and in the end they went back home, it was too much for them. the church has been trying to help the situation. what has been happening? at the beginning of the roman catholic church decided to mediate, talks between protesters and the government that they came to very little and recently they have
9:36 pm
come under attack, over the weekend when bishop's car was attacked, his windscreen wipers shattered, shots fired, he was arrested and then released, so there is a sense that even they are becoming a target for the government trying to stop what has become a civil insurrection. we touched on the fact they started out about one particular issue and have widened into generalfeeling about one particular issue and have widened into general feeling against the president. people believe, what they have been saying in nicaragua is that the presidential couple, who are due to remain in power until 2021, have hollowed out nicaraguan democracy, gained control of the judiciary, daniel ortega is head of the police, and that this is no longer a real democracy but a hollow
9:37 pm
sheu longer a real democracy but a hollow shell of one and they were want to have new elections and start again. candace, thank you. stay with us. still to come... it has been party time in france as it celebrates its world cup win in russia. there have been incredible pictures coming in from paris in the last few hours. hundreds of thousands of people turned out to welcome home the team. they will receive france's second highest decoration, the legion of honour. a peninsula in northern scotland has been chosen as the site of the uk's first spaceport. rockets carrying satellites could be taking off in a few years, paving the way for space
9:38 pm
flights. in as little as three years, rockets like this will be launched from a remote stretch of land on the north coast of scotland. for the local community it will be quite a change. there are people who are really really happy and are, bring it on, can't happen fast enough, and there are people who are understandingibly cautious, what will the impact be and more than a bit worried. nearly 800 miles south this is newquay airport. they have announced ambitious plans today. this was only going to a few miles to the isles of scilly, but satellites could be launched from here too. not the kind of vertical lift—offs planned for scotland, but horizontal launches by planes. this afternoon cornwall council signed a deal with richard branson's company. for this firm in bodmin, it is all a sign that britain's
9:39 pm
space industry is on the up. this is a really carefully machined part. the precision parts they make here will soon be used in a nasa mission, to carry out the biggest ever survey of fresh water supply. they say today's announcement in northern scotland and here will mean the uk can play a confident, long—term part in a growing global business. britain's space industry has waited a long time for today's announcement, and while the news has been welcomed, experts say it is only a start, and the uk will have to act quickly if it is going to stay ahead. this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. our top story...
9:40 pm
donald trump and vladimir putin hailed their first meeting as a success but donald trump has been criticised for contradicting some of his most senior officials. police in india have arrested over 25 people after a man was killed by a mob over claims that he and his companion were child traffickers. the men had apparently given some children chocolates when a message was bred that they were traffickers. attacks like this have been happening across india, linked to whatsapp rumours about child kidnappers, so much so that whatsapp took out these messages to give

people tips on how to spot fake news. there are millions of people who use and theirfirst there are millions of people who use and their first contact about whatsapp, villagers with not much education who do not know right or wrong when they receive information, so wrong when they receive information, so this arrives on whatsapp, so they don't go to twitter or facebook looking for news, this is family or friends, so this is cheap internet for a lot of people who read the message and think it's true because it was sent from someone they know, so they believe whatever they say, thinking that his factual. was there be new story that this
9:42 pm
happened in? there had been separate child abduction cases but whatever has come through whatsapp, the stories i have seen are all fake, we covered this in the bbc, you remember the fa ke this in the bbc, you remember the fake video from pakistan which people thought was something in india, it was a public awareness video about child abduction but people thought it was filmed in india. what is the government or anybody doing to try to stop this? it is hard for the government because whatsapp has then to hand encryption, it's between two people, the one who sounds and the one who reads, and these are the only two people who can read what is sent, even whatsapp servers have no information, so the government has

no data and it's being shared in large numbers, and the minute you see a message, you click and forward to your friends, this doesn't need a lot of technical expertise so when people share it, it becomes hard for officials to find the source or who sent it. the government has asked whatsapp to bring in more measures would do something about this news and whatsapp has said it cannot do anything about its encryption but it will work with government officials on public awareness campaigns were work with law enforcement officials to teach people what is right or wrong in whatsapp and recently whatsapp has brought in a new tag so every time someone forwards a message, it says forward it, but looking at large numbers of and good people who have access to it, will

started over disputed territories. a peace deal was never implemented and it's peace deal was never implemented and its estimated that 80,000 people we re its estimated that 80,000 people were killed in two years of fighting. the opening of this embassy marks a huge milestone in relations between eritrea and ethiopia. diplomatic ties hold huge potentialfor the shared cultural and social aspects of these two nations. the world cup is over, france beat croatia 11—2 on sunday and today the french team returned to a hero's welcome in paris. we will show you what happened when they drove down the shone elysee. the city came to a halt to celebrate, hundreds of thousands of people packing the iconic avenue as it went to a

avenues, down to the elysee palace where they will be greeted by president macron. this bright path which set off this amazing occasion, so another like... singing hugh schofield eventually disappearing into the crowd in paris. croatia disappearing but not without some glory. from zagreb, here's gavin lee. just look around at this atmosphere, you can barely move for the number of people supporting the team, you

would think they had won the world cup, this is what it feels like and i've just been soaked with beer from behind me, it's worth saying before this back in 1998, that was their best achievement 100,000 people back then, but this has to be bigger and louder and last all week. you wouldn't think they had lost looking at that, they are happy to have got that far in the world cup. let's show you what's going on in the house of commons, mps have begun voting on amendments to one of the key pieces of brexit legislation. it seems as if theresa may has caved in to pressure from backbenchers, changes have been made to the customs bill, four amendments have
9:53 pm
been made to a piece of legislation. it's just over a week since the prime minister gathered her cabinet at chequers and published her plan to leave the eu, the bbc news channel and bbc world news will keep you up—to—date you will not be surprised to hear me say many areas across the uk have seen little substantial rain since the end of me that we could see some changes in the next few days, a bit cooler and fresher and some rain to come in the north. we already had some rain on monday from this cold front, which weakened as it pushed south and east that it introduced fresher air from south and east that it introduced fresher airfrom the south and east that it introduced fresher air from the atlantic and you will see the difference today, so largely quiet day, a good deal of dry weather in store, a scattering of showers but look at the feel,
9:54 pm
highest value 25 in the south—east that high pressure will build as we move into wednesday, a quiet night and a quiet start to the middle of the week but a good deal of dry weather and light winds so we will see sunny spells come through and temperatures a bit fresher but still 21 degrees in the north of scotland, creeping up a little in the south—east with highs of 27. as we move into wednesday into thursday, those of you who were keen whether followers, this area of low pressure will sink south and bring more significant rain across the country, but it is just teasing us, it will set up in the far north—west and bring some rain, so only 18 degrees but further south the temperatures
9:55 pm
in the high 20s. this weather fronts stag nate in the high 20s. this weather fronts stagnate as it bumps into high pressure, it will weaken considerably so it will bring some showers on friday across scotland and maybe through the far north—west of england but further south to and settled and sunny and temperatures will continue to climb, so getting pretty warm if not hot in central and southern areas. heading for the beach at the weekend, you won't be disappointed and the reason for this change is that originally we thought did jet stream would weaken so yesterday it looked like we could see this undulation in the jet and where we get this area of low pressure it set to build with high pressure it set to build with high pressure drifting out to the west, but it looks like the story has changed, the jet stream but it looks like the story has changed, thejet stream looks but it looks like the story has changed, the jet stream looks likely to stay strong with less undulation
9:56 pm
so as we do into the weekend we will see the jet stream up to the far north of the country and a little cut—off cloud develops in the south west which means most of the showery u nsettled west which means most of the showery unsettled weather will stay across the near continent, so that will allow high pressure to building from the south—west so staying largely settled and sunny with showers up to the north—west, so if you have outdoor plans this weekend, i don't think he will be disappointed, mainly dry and largely warm, and looking ahead, it looks like we will keep that dry in, if we get any rain it will be in the far north—west and if anything it will turn warm again if anything it will turn warm again if not hot in the middle of next week. to tell the world they have started a constructive dialogue. a handshake signals what the us president says is a chance to do great
