hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source. isa is a lovely pictures to start the programme with. it's all smiles in thailand as 12 boys rescued from a flooded cave leave hospital, they've been speaking about their ordeal, and the moment they were found. translation: we heard a noise. we were afraid they would walk past us. it was a miracle, it was a miracle. i was shocked. borisjohnson gives his resignation speech in parliament — typically, he didn't go quietly. it is not too late to save brexit. we have time. the us's intelligence agencies say the threat to the us from russia is ongoing. the president has had more explaining to do after this comment. reporter: is russia still targeting the us, mr president? thank you very much. press, let's go, make your way out! his press secretary was coming out now and saying that he was not talking about the question and did

not want the question at all. we would try to sift through all of that. google has been hit by an enormous fine. $5 billion because of its android system and how it is used in europe. first we go to thailand. after a couple weeks up and you a lot of concern and despair about those boys trapped in the cave, it is lovely to begin the programme by showing you these pictures of the boys out of hospital and arriving to give a press co nfe re nce . hospital and arriving to give a press conference. they had been told in advance the kind of questions they would be asked which is of course a reasonable and they were there to talk about how they were feeling. but doctors say they're doing very well. they look like they're doing well. and to answer questions as well. the first person

to speak describe the moment the divers arrived. translation: we heard somebody talking, but we didn't think it was real. so we stopped and listened. but at the turned out, it happened, it was real. they got out the water and then they were saying something. i thought they were thai officers but when they got out of the water, we found out they were english. i did not know what to say to them. so, ijust said, "hello". it was a miracle, it was a miracle. i was shocked. they were trapped in a cave for more than two weeks. and if you are thinking, "what did they do with all that time?" here is one explanation. translation: after we fell down, we were stranded. we knew that we got stuck. so the second option is to dig in the wall of the cave to find a way out. at least we were doing something to try to get out. during the nine days before they were discovered,

the boys and their coach survived on water from the stones of the cave. no food at all. this is titan who's ii which makes him the youngest of the group. translation: i tried not to think about food. what do you think about then? i tried not to think about fried rice! laugther. also wanted to show these pictures of a ceremony conducted by the boys community. it's to seek forgiveness from the cave's spirit. it takes the name nang norm after a princess who's spirit is believed to reside in the cave. some have argued that the boys spell in the cave has offended the spirit — the ceremony is a way of making offering to appease her. they also prayed for the thai diver who died during the rescue. there are more ceremonies to come. in the next week or so, the boys will be ordained as buddhist monks for a short period of time. this is a thai tradition for those

who've experienced a misfortune. and the boys are clearly reflecting on that misfortunes. here's ii—year—old titan again — sounding wise beyond his years. translation: this is my major experience and i have learned the value of things. in myself... this experience makes me stronger. the press conference was in chaing rai — where the cave is. devina gupta was there. the stronger message that has come out at this news conference is the teamwork with which these boys were able to sustain each other and maintain hope for their survival. now from here on, these boys were taken in minivans to their hometown. the child psychologists who vetted all these questions before they could be put forward to these

boys have said that they should not be troubled by the media any longer. they should be given a chance to come back to their normal life. at their hometown, there were tremendous celebrations. they were able to hug and meet their friends and families for the first time. one of the boys, dom, who had turned a year older in the cave, his father told us that they will be celebrating his birthday. the prime minister of the country wants them back into school as soon as possible. the thai king here has also announced real celebrations in the capital of bangkok to thank everyone for their global collaboration. another development on this story to bring you. elon musk‘s apologised to one of the british divers involved in the rescue of the boys. there wasn't any other route for him really. he called vern unsworth a "pedo" and then deleted the tweet. this was all rooted in elon musk‘s much discussed and derided decision

to develop this mini—submarine to be used in the rescue. it wasn't used in the end — and it still remains far from clear who from the rescue wanted it in the first place. i think we could put him in that camp. vern unsworth said the sub had "absolutely no chance of working", he said "it was a "pr stunt". and suggested mr musk could "stick his submarine where it hurts." but musk then promised he'd release a video of the sub that would prove it could have worked. given the boys are out — we can file this under arguments that don't need to be won. and he went on. he posted a tweet on twitter which said, "sorry pedo guy, you really did ask for it." now, in another tweet musk now says "my words were spoken in anger after mr unsworth said several untruths and suggested i engage in a sexual act with the mini—sub, which had been built as an act of kindness and according to specifications from

the dive team leader". we are getting a lot of detail here. "nonetheless, his actions against me do notjustify my actions against him, and for that i apologise to mr unsworth and to the companies i represent as leader. he also apologise the path of space xand he also apologise the path of space x and tesla. —— on the half. we will see if we get another instalment. if you want to see more clips, you can find them on the bbc news app. uk politics continues to hurtle along. boris johnson resigned as foreign secretary last week — saying he could no longer support the prime minister's approach to brexit. today he gave his resignation speech. here's some of it. it is not too late to save brexit. we have time. in the citgo stations.

we have time. in the citgo stations. we have time. in the citgo stations. we have changed tack once and we can change again. —— in these negotiations. the problem is that we failed to make the case for a free trade agreement spelled out at lancaster house. we haven't even tried. we must try now. because we will not get another chance to get it right. if you're particularly keen, mrjohnson has posted the full script of his speech on twitter. in an unsurprising develoment, lead brexiteerjacob rees—mogg called it "the speech of a statesman". that was not the assessment of eve ryo ne that was not the assessment of everyone for instance the former deputy prime minister and a very senior member of the conservative party had a different assessment. senior member of the conservative party had a different assessmentm was extraordinary hypocrisy of his

position that he was prepared to go along with the deal. the only reason he left the cabinet is because david davis had already left without as far as davis had already left without as faras i'm aware davis had already left without as far as i'm aware working in conjunction with boris. boris can see that david then become a cheerleader from the brexiteers. see that david then become a cheerleaderfrom the brexiteers. he could not allow that to happen. so what did he do? he walks out and then turns around and says, "all the things he has been defending he is totally aga i nst". things he has been defending he is totally against". i find this hypocrisy of an astonished sale.|j am doing the maths on the dates. this was in mid—july. we have to agree with the eu on mid october at the latest. how does he think the government could changed tack even at the prime mr decided to quiz there is time he says because the former negotiations of the european union... he says the formal

negotiations have not had the crunch issues. they haven't come to the detail of the big building blocks of what ever the uk's relationship to the european union will be after brexit and you are right that the clock is ticking. october the date looming and everyone's diaries to get the deal done with brussels, to give it time to be signed off by parliament here in london and also for european parliament in brussels and get all the different member states to agree. he is cruelly putting the prime minister on notice giving her a directive to say that it -- giving her a directive to say that it —— there is time to change course. the main bulk of which in brussels this association will be done by prominent —— the prime minister and the weeks and months to come. as far as he's concerned the strategy she is going in with at the moment is the wrong one that will keep uk too closely tied to the eu for his and a lot of other conservative mp‘s liking. for his and a lot of other conservative mp's liking. don't go anywhere. a couple of other things to discuss. borisjohnson is just one of a number of ministers to resign in recent weeks,

and the pressure on theresa may does not seem to be letting up. today during prime minister's questions the leader of the opposition accused her of having no serious stragey to negoatiate britain's way out of the eu. here's her reply. i say to the leader of the opposition there are indeed differences between us on this issue. i will and free movement, differences between us on this issue. iwilland free movement, he wants to keep it. i want is out of the customs union, he wants us in. i wa nt the customs union, he wants us in. i want is out of the single market he wants us in. i want us to sign her own trade deals, he wants to hand them over to brussels. i have ruled out a second referendum, he won't. there is no doubt which one of us is respecting the will of the british people and delivering on the vote and it isn't him! is without doubt that the conservatives are the screen to a big degree in this issue. the seems to be having an impact. this is a poll from yesterday. the opposition up to 41

points significantly guida 5%. we bring jonathan back in. —— up 5%. it was not long ago that the tories we re was not long ago that the tories were level or at least a little bit up. these polls go up and down. we have to be careful about the way the which we give them and i say that and acknowledge that opinion polls failed to predict accurately the result of the eu referendum itself although the general a lot —— or the general election we had in the wake of that. there is no denying in the last two days and weeks it has been there for all to see that the conservative party have been fighting amongst themselves over the right course of action on brexit. there has been talk of a vote of confidence in the prime mr, how many mps have submitted those letters calling for that, the trigger has not been reached yet. but it could be close. that does not go down well with people who want a united party and government to get things done. there is nothing morbid turn in politics than politicians amongst themselves about what to do. perhaps

that's a reflection of that. but there are signs this evening that for now at least the prime minister is going into the summit break with the support albeit reluctantly of most mps towards her brexit strategy. thank you very much. did you get more tj online. we will talk about this flight. —— detail online. the first commercial flight in 20 years flight from ethiopia to ever trail. no wonder everyone is excited. it is symptomatic of a much bigger and said your piece between the two countries. we will speak to a reporter on the flight. australian scientists say they've developed a blood test to detect skin cancer, or melanoma, in it's early stages

before it becomes fatal. the test is billed as the worlds first, as currently doctors examine the skin and take biopsies, but researchers say this new testing can identify skin cancer more effectively than the human eye. in a trial of 200 people, it had an over 80% success rate. this will improve the rate at which it is detected. currently we so have 1700 deaths a year for melanoma in australia which is greater than our annual road total. that is a frightening significant —— statistic. if we can detected early, they have a 90 minute percent chance of 5-10 they have a 90 minute percent chance of 5—10 year survival. you can cure it if you did your melanoma removed when it is still new and still in the top of the skin. it is revolutionary because... this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom.

our lead story is. it's all smiles in thailand as 12 boys rescued from a flooded cave leave hospital, they've been speaking about their ordeal, and the moment they were found doctor saying they are doing well. sir cliff richard has won his high court privacy battle against the bbc, and has been awarded an initial £210,000 in damages — that's $270,000. the court found bbc‘s reporting of a police raid, in connection with an allegation of historical child sex abuse, infringed the star's privacy rights. sir cliff always denied the allegations and was never arrested or charged. the bbc is considering an appeal. salvagers have discovered the wreck of a russian warship that sunk more than 100 years ago off south korea. the dimitrii donskoi was scuttled by her crew in 1905 during a war between russia and japan. rumours have long persisted it was carrying gold worth billions of dollars in today's money, although many doubt that. from bbc russian.

and this video is parked in the most watched list. with good reason. this guy went to steal a two foot high garden gnome. but over he went — taking the garden fence with him. no happy ending though — the gnome was later found destroyed nearby. the first commercial flight between ethiopia and eritrea in 20 years has completed its journey the route is symbolic of the renewed relations between the two countries. ethiopian airlines calling it a "bird of peace", marking the end of a bitter border war that dates back to 1998 ff roses and champagne were handed out to the a50 passengers on—board as part of the celebrations. this is what one passenger had to say.

we had... since ethiopia and eritrea committed to peace, we have come here. i have come here to look for my family. and i have a business and ids. and i play to open a business there as well. personal stories as that man was alluding to. a long—awaited moment for many people. look at the celebrations here. the reason these people are celebrating is not for the piece more generally by the relatives and friends being reunited after years of celebrations. you can see what it meant to them as it meant in the capital of ever trail. travel routes between the two nations have been com pletely between the two nations have been completely shut since the start of that conflict. the reason all of

these changes are coming, we talked about this a couple of weeks ago, we have the presidents of both countries assigning a peace and friendship agreement earlier in the month saying the state of war between them was over. our reporter was on the flight. this is the celebration that has marked the arrival of the very first commercialflight marked the arrival of the very first commercial flight from paddies of baba commercial flight from paddies of ba ba to commercial flight from paddies of baba to —— addison obama in 20 yea rs. baba to —— addison obama in 20 years. do concede excitement for the plane and the people walking around talking. it was jubilation, plane and the people walking around talking. it wasjubilation, people are elated because they know this means so much between the relations between these two countries that share so much in common. over the next two days, it will be looking to see how this new—found peace would be incremented. these countries fought over a better work over five yea rs fought over a better work over five years since the mid—905. they signed

an agreement. but both leaders have not committed to fully implement this deal and uniting these countries that share so much in common. smiles all around in ever trail. now let's turn to the big business story of the day. google has been fined $5 billion by the european commisison. it's all connected to its android operating system for mobile phones. the commissions says google "has imposed illegal restrictions on android device manufacturers and mobile network operators" in order to cement its dominant position in general internet search. the commission released this graphic laying out three charges, they say the company requires manufacturers to pre—install its search app and chrome browser on android phones, as a condition for getting its app store google play pays manufacturers and mobile operators to pre—install google search exclusively, on their devices. restricts development of new versions of android — all of which led the european

commission to conclude that the biggest fines handed out were appropriate. the commissioner in charge spoke to the bbc‘s gavin lee. this is serious in illegal behaviour that has been going on since 2011. it isa that has been going on since 2011. it is a big market and very serious offence. from our guidelines, what comes a large fine. google's android operating system has a market share of 80% in europe — against apple's ios just 20%. google put out a couple of graphics of their own today, firstly this "android has created more choice for everyone, not less. a vibrant ecosystem, rapid innovation and lower prices. it says

multiple items are powered. let's bring in paul play. does any of this apply to the us? one way to judge that is how it is affecting google's share price. investors are largely shrugging off a lot of this news here. how it would change google's behaviour is awaited to be seen. google's behaviour is awaited to be seen. they will appeal and that's why you don't see a tonne of reaction on wall street. the markets closer in the last 20 minutes or so. google was down some that break point 01%. to say that it was even down was a stretch. they had taken into cash reserves to the fine doesn't matter. where you might start seeing investors growing a bit more concern is that google has been given 90 days to come into compliance with the eu regulation and if they are not able to do that than you could start to see more fines levied on google. that my truck concern among investors were you might start to see some

behaviour change both in europe but also in the us. there might be some viewers watching and thinking that an american company, the european commission part of the eu which is upset with america for tariffs at the moment. are there any connections between the political and this element of story? it is ha rd to and this element of story? it is hard to draw a genetic connection. donald trump has been talking about the tax lady last month at the g—7 seven. “— the tax lady last month at the g—7 seven. —— tried direct connection. we know that a representative for the eu will come to washington in the eu will come to washington in the next few weeks to talk about trade deals with the us. we note that this ongoing trade dispute between the eu and us, donald trump has threatened to turn up that trade dispute. this is something that could be in the back of negotiator‘s mines and donald trump's might as he goesin mines and donald trump's might as he goes in trade—offs with other european officials. —— trade talks.

thank you paul. that is paul leavitt in new york. —— live in new york. today would have been nelson mandela's 100th birthday. it's a moment to reflect on everything he did for south africa — but it's to reflect on south africa's current situation. 30 million people — more than half the population — live below the poverty line. the world bank says it's one of the the most unequal countries in the world. —— the most unequal country in the world. and some young south africans are starting to ask whether the way nelson mandela guided south africa from apartheid to democracy is responsible for that. nomsa maseko reports from johannesburg. there are many people who feel that it is useless and futile for us to continue talking peace and nonviolence. from the call for armed struggle, to the voice of reconciliation, nelson mandela took manyjourneys in his life. the global icon would have been celebrating his 100th birthday today. world—renowned photographer oscar gutierrez documented the south african transition

into democracy and followed mandela closely through his lens. i would not be surprised if one day the catholic church said he was one of us, he was an angel. somehow things take time but i won't be surprised in 100 or 200 years from now he was an angel. but not everyone feels this way. this young activist says nelson mandela and his generation should be left in the past. we still have nelson mandela shoved down our throats, literally, as the only stalwart or struggle icon who contributed to the freedom that we supposedly have. i am not going to worship nelson mandela. he did what he did. thanks. but he wasn't the only person. researcher and author sam venter, who released a compilation of letters nelson mandela wrote while imprisoned, feels

the criticism is unwarranted. it is unfair on mandela and his generation, because they did what they could do and they did what they had to do. and theirjob was to bring about democracy, and i think what mandiba's legacy is now is saying to the whole world, "if you want anything to work, focus on human rights, equality. we can't separate human beings. we can't bring about more violence. the only way the world is going to survive is if we follow these kind of values." but in a country struggling with unemployment, discontent and the ever—increasing inequality gap, nelson mandela's ideals will continue to be re—examined. time of the round up of the global

weather conditions. we start the weather conditions. we start the weather with north america. we might hang up there in the next day or so. it is looking fine across most of the great lakes region into the united states. as we had to friday there will be showers heading towards chicago. for new york city and for montr al, the sun is expected to continue. temperatures will be in the high 20s. also stars around florida. across the caribbean, it is hurricane season. quiet at the moment. no big stars out on the rising and pretty much run of the will tropical weather is lovely. temperatures mostly in the low 30s. and a few scattered showers. across europe, the heat will continue to build as we head into thursday and friday. temperatures will be soaring across some western parts of europe. this is friday positive weather

forecast. there will be showers across france, the alpine region but most of the unsettled weather is across the east of europe. the bulk of the continent will have hot sunshine. look at those temperatures in frankfurt. 3a celsius and high 20s in the uk. fine across the meadow —— mediterranean there. we have seen ranchos run the tropic area in africa. flooding across —— around the gulf of guinea and ivory coast. in south cape town, temperatures right 18 years in cape town with sunshine. here is the monsoon in the last 2a hours in the satellite image from wednesday into thursday. fridays were the forecast shows showers breaking out across these western coasts there and the northeast of india. we are watching storms around the tropics in southeast asia. this is a tropical storm that has brought heavy rainfall to vietnam. this storm is

in the process of fizzling away. one we are watching is here just towards the west or east of the philippines. this is a developing typhoon that will be tracking northwards towards the southernmost islands of japan and potentially in the direction of shanghai. if you're heading towards shanghai. if you're heading towards shanghai in the coming days, bear in mind that this storm may grow and affect the coastlines of the could be some delays around this part of china here. to the south of that lots of heavy showers and then we get to borneo, and sumatra. a lot of sunshine across this area. temperatures in singapore will be getting up to around 33 degrees. briefly before i go, a summary for the weather back home here in the next few days. it will be hotter with a few scattered showers. over whether of is hearing the news channel. hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source. it's all smiles in thailand, as 12 boys rescued from a flooded cave leave hospital, they've been speaking about their ordeal, and the moment they were found. we heard a noise. we were afraid

that they walked past us. it was a miracle, it was a miracle, i was shocked. borisjohnson gives his resignation speech in parliament — it is not too late. to save brexit. we have time. the us's intelligence agencies say the threat to the us from russia is ongoing. this is what the president thinks. is russia still targeting the us, mr president? let's go, make your way out! we will get the details on that in a moment. here we go again with our daily effort to work out

what donald trump actually thinks about russia! first, this is the president giving body language experts enough material to write whole books on, as he talks at a a cabinet meeting at the white house. we're doing very well, probably as well as anybody has ever done with russia. and there's been no president, ever, as tough as i have been on russia. all you have to do is look at the numbers. look at what we've done. look at sanctions. look at ambassadors not there. look, unfortunately, at what happened in syria recently. and i think president putin knows that better than anybody, certainly a lot better than the media. he understands it and he's not happy about it, and he shouldn't be happy about it, because there's never been a president as tough on russia as i have been. it's worth noting that this is america's president siding with russia's president over the american press.

a reporter also asked him this. is russia still targeting the us, mr president? let's go, make your way out! it sounded like the president will say no to that question. that is exactly what us eligibles say is happening. we have a statement this week from director of national intelligence, which describes russia's... ongoing, pervasive efforts to undermine our democracy. and now white house press secretary sarah huckabee sanders has tried to correct this latest comment. the president and his administration working very hard to make sure that russia is unable to meddle in our elections as they have done in the

past and as we have stated. this president taking bold action and reform to make sure it does not happen again. but he does believe that they would target certainly us elections again. that is the punishing the white house is giving. now, we know what russia's strategic goals are. one is undermining the eu — this week, donald trump called the eu a foe. another is to undermine nato. on that, let me play you this clip of the president with fox news anchor tucker carlson. nato obligates the members to defend any other member that's attacked. so, let's say montenegrin, which joined last year, is attacked. why should my son go to montenegro to defend it from attack? why's that? i understand what you're saying. i've asked the same question, you know? montenegro is a tiny country, with very strong people. nato obligates the members to defend any other member that's attacked. so, let's say montenegrin, which joined last year, is attacked. why should my son go to montenegro

to defend it from attack? why's that? i understand what you're saying. i've asked the same question, you know? montenegro is a tiny country, with very strong people. yeah, i'm not against montenegro. 0r albania. no, by the way, they're very strong people. they are very aggressive people. they may get aggressive. and, congratulations, you're in world war iii. now, i understand that, but that's the way it was set up. don't forget, ijust got here a little more than a year and a half ago. this is article 5 of nato's constitution. it's called collective defence. and states an attack against one or more of its members is considered an attack against them all. the only time this was triggered was in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks in 2001 were other nato members are lined with america to respond to the threat being posed by al-qaeda. the assessment of the president's behaviour in helsinki has continued to be discussed with democrats demanding his translator for that one—on—one meeting with mr putin should be questioned in congress. anthony zurcher, washington. we area we are a long wait before that

happens. some republicans have said they would consider that. a senior member of the republican leadership is one. but there is no guarantee it will happen. you would think that is something the white house would strenuously object to, the idea of bringing an interpreter into this political confrontation would be too much. and relatively unprecedented. and more broadly on the communications from the white house and the president on where exactly donald trump stands on russian meddling. even his supporters would say the message has not been as crystal clear as it might be. no, i think that is an understatement! for the second day in a row, you have a presidential clean—up operation at the white house. yesterday, it in regard to what donald trump said in helsinki summit with vladimir putin and what he said earlier today. if you look at the individual words, you look at the individual words, you could interpret it one way or the other. but in the larger context, in helsinki, donald trump was talking about questions about

whether russia was hacking servers at the dnc and raising doubts about that in the larger context. and today, talking about how strong vladimir putin was and how strong he was towards vladimir putin and how vladimir putin respected what he was doing, once again attempting to undermine the question that, why would russia target the united states now because he is reacting so firmly? so there are a lot of questions around what donald trump says and again, the white house has to pick up the pieces. thank you very much. back to that backtracked yesterday, mr trump treader curry fry his views on russian meddling in the 2016 us election. yet clarified. the sentence should have been, "i don't see any reason why it wouldn't be russia." sort of a double negative. needless to say, lots of people on social media had a field day with that. josh barro, of business insider...

and that statement was read from notes and a lot of people have been looking out for the notes mr trump was reading and there was handwriting on top of it, including, in large letters, there was no collusion! a message to the president is very keen to get across. and it was the second night of protests outside the white house, thatis of protests outside the white house, that is the president, some people understood branding... and this is the lawyer representing actress stormy daniels who is suing the president. these scenes about by the press co nfe re nce president. these scenes about by the press conference in helsinki with people upset by the position the president top. in context, this p°pped president top. in context, this normed up president top. in context, this popped up a while ago and it is worth showing you. in latest poll, 55% of americans don't think donald

trump is handling russian well but more importantly, 42% of registered voters approve of mr trump's performance in office. this was done after the helsinki summit and this dig a bit in the average for the month ofjuly. so if there is a shift, it has not followed yet. this tells me the american electorate prove difficult to read on these things. exactly and what you have seen things. exactly and what you have seen is the ongoing controversy over russia and everything that has been happening, donald trump's european trip, the immigration issue. that is fitting into the traditional partisan divides in this country and battle lines have been drawn and it ta kes battle lines have been drawn and it takes something really made it a shift that. we have seen donald trump with an approval rating in the high 30s and low 405, 60% trump with an approval rating in the high 305 and low 405, 60% of americans overall who have an unfavourable view of those and that i5 unfavourable view of those and that is not shifting. everything is being viewed in our side of their side. in

the mid—term elections in november, a few months away, the big question i5, a few months away, the big question is, who shows up to vote? not what the larger poll5 is, who shows up to vote? not what the larger polls show but who is the mo5t motivated to go out. donald trump i5 mo5t motivated to go out. donald trump is getting his side angry about immigration and media coverage so about immigration and media coverage so they vote. and meanwhile, democrats and their side to come out because they object to what donald trump i5 because they object to what donald trump is doing and it is only a matter of months before we find out who feels the most passionate and who feels the most passionate and who shows up and casts tho5e ballot5. who shows up and casts tho5e ballots. thank you very much and as the5e ballots. thank you very much and as these big stories from the us, out, you can go to the bbc news website and halfway through the text, you will find anthony's analysis. the first thing i look for! a big story now in the uk. sir cliff richard has won his high court privacy battle against the bbc, and has been awarded an initial £210,000 in damages.

the court found that the corporation's reporting of a police raid on his home, in connection with an allegation of historical child sexual abuse, infringed the star's privacy in a ‘5eriou5 and sensationalist way.‘ sir cliff always denied the allegations, and wasn't arrested or charged. he described today's ruling as ‘wonderful news'. the bbc says it's very sorry for the distre55 caused to sir cliff, but is considering an appeal. lucy manning reports. it was as good as it could have got for sir cliff richard, and as bad as it could be for the bbc. sir cliff, how are you feeling about the judgment? it's going to take a little while for me to get over the whole emotional factor. so, i hope you will forgive me. in tears, he had told the court his life was forever tainted, now he was vindicated. sir cliff is of course very pleased with the court's judgment today. he never expected, after 60 years in the public eye, that his privacy and reputation would be tarnished

in this way and that he would need to fight such a battle. the singer was awarded £210,000, but is likely to get more. the bbc is also facing millions in legal costs. this is a ma55ivejudgment for sir cliff richard and pretty devastating for the bbc. it raises questions for the entire media about how they cover police investigations. his friends saw the physical and mental toll over the last four years. he was determined to fight this case and, in a way, even if he hadn't won the case, i think he has won it as far as the public is concerned. becau5e personally, i've never heard so many people saying, i hope he wins this case, and it was terrible, that invasion of privacy. and he has won it, in privacy law. the decisions made in the bbc newsroom to report the police investigation into sir cliff richard in 2014 and to use a helicopter to film it significantly invaded his privacy, 5aid thejudge. it was a scathing judgment. the judge said the reporting

wa5 ‘breathless sensationalism', and using the helicopter created ‘fal5e drama'. he rejected the bbc‘s case. one bbc boss, he said, was not always a reliable witness, and he decided the bbc went in for an invasion of sir cliff's privacy rights ‘in a big way‘. bbc editors fran unsworth and jonathan monroe were grim—faced hearing the heavy criticism, but claimed this is a dramatic move against press freedom. thejudge accepting it could have a significant impact on the media. the bbc is very sorry for the distress caused to sir cliff, we understand the very serious impact this has had on him. she says the judgment will affect every media organisation. thejudge has made clear that even if there had been no footage of the search and the story had less prominence, the very

naming of sircliff would have been unlawful. this creates a significant shift against press freedom. have you, or mr monroe, offered your resignations over this matter and should you? it's a long judgment, we need to go away and absorb all the details, there are 200 pages. we need to look at it and consider what lessons there are to learn. what do you say to licence—fee payers that they are going to face these damage fees? at the bbc‘s headquarters, there was a robust defence of its journalism. do you not think licence—fee payers will find it astounding that you have lost this case and it's going to cost potentially millions of pounds and nobody at the bbc is being held responsible? the question is not whether anyone is responsible, it's whether that responsibility results in what you suggested might happen, which is that people should resign. that is not necessarily the right response to every mistake that a journalist makes in a news organisation. # congratulations #.

outside court, there was of course only one song sir cliff's fans could sing, but his victory means the most difficult of days for the bbc, and potential challenges now for all journalists. still to come... the impact of three years of fighting in yemen — we will play you some material recorded in yemen and we will speak to our reporter here. it's been touted as an easy way to protect your heart, take omega—3 fish oil supplements, we've all been told. well, now, researchers say the evidence for this is flimsy, at best. a new study has found the chance of getting any meaningful benefit from taking the supplements, is one—in—a—thousand. the bbc news' health correspondent,

sophie hutchinson, has the story. cod liver and other fish oils sold as supplements to help protect the heart. but this large—scale study — published today — that these supplements do little, or nothing. they contain omega 3, considered helpful in preventing heart disease, heart attacks and strokes. cochrane researchers examined trials in over 100,000 people over long periods of time. they concluded the chance of any meaningful benefit to the heart was one—in—a—thousand. this cardiologist was surprised by the findings, surprised by the findings, but says it's clear what people should do. there is no magic pill, no magical answer, and probably the best way of dealing with cardiovascular disease is to prevent it if you don't have any yet or to prevent future events is to tackle the problem as a whole. so, healthier diets, do some exercise on a regular basis. omega 3 is a family of fats found in oily fish like salmon and mackerel. eating it is still thought to be good for the heart. but representatives of the food

supplements industry say pills can still play an important part in our health. there are massive benefits in terms of brain health, eye health, protection against autoimmune disease and adhd. so i think, considering it's safe, why wouldn't you consider taking an omega 3 supplement? whether the study will change people's long—held beliefs in the benefits of taking cod liver and other fish oil pills isn't clear. but whatever happens, the nhs says people should eat fish twice a week to help our health. sophie hutchinson, bbc news. this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. our lead story is... it's all smiles in thailand. 12 boys out of hospital and is

talking about their ordeal. we're going to dedicate the rest of the show to yemen. we talk about it a lot. for a little more than three years, the country's been divided by a fierce civil war between the government ? backed by a saudi—led coalition — and houthi rebels, allied with iran. it's led to the world's worst humanitarian crisis according to the un. with one child dying every ten minutes from preventable causes and eight million people on the brink of starvation. and three quarters of the population in need of humanitarian aid. our correspondent orla guerin and cameraman anthony clifford managed to get into southern yemen to meet some of those suffering. this is what childhood looks like in yemen,

if you live long enough. many don't. ramzi is now growing got a nomad, thanks to the war. he arrived at this camp in hodeidah province a month ago and says it's very tiring. ramzi spends his days collecting water. he says he misses his home and his toys. he had to leave them behind when his town was shelled by houthi fighters. at 11 years old, he's the man of the family. his home is a bare tent, where his mother, azizah, has only her children and her grief. she tells me ramzi's father was killed 18 months ago — collateral damage in a saudi air strike. translation: when my husband was killed, we were not able to see his body. we only saw pieces. and we couldn't tell it was him. that was worse than the news of his death.

orla's also spoken to the exiled president of yemen. translation: no, things are not in a stalemate. we are considering the people. we don't want to destroy the cities. now i am surrounding sana'a with my forces and i can hit it with mortars. they are besieging taiz for three years, and they destroyed taiz. you should go and visit taiz and you look at the houses. i don't want to do what the houthis have done. that's why it took us three years. if we treat houthis the same way they treat us, we could have cleaned them out. president hadi, i was here in aden in 2015 when the saudis began their military operation

on your behalf, and that was supposed to be a short operation to return you to power. did you ever imagine it was going to drag on this long and cost so many lives? no, i didn't expect it would take this long because we didn't realise the iranian interest in supporting the houthis to this extent. so, it if it is only the houthis who are fighting, the war would finish as quickly as possible. how much practical support do you believe the iranians are giving to the houthis, in terms of weapons, in terms of arms? they are running the war through their experts and weapons. they are giving them the latest weapons. given that the united nations has said that the majority of civilian casualties here were caused by air strikes by the saudi—led coalition, have you ever regretted the decision to bring them into this conflict? i don't regret it at all. otherwise, we would not

have liberated parts of our country, from aden onwards. without the support of the coalition, these areas would have been under the control of the houthis. we believe the coalition operation decisive storm is the most successful one that has ever been undertaken in the arab world. orla guerinjoined me in the studio to reflect on the trip. it is one of the hardest places to try and report from and that has been the case since the conflict escalated in march of 2015. we have managed to go in, both myself and the bbc teams, but it is incredibly difficult every time. you never know you are going to report from yemen until you are standing there, you can make all the plans and the arrangements and get the visa and the permission and you can get stopped at the last minute and that

has happened twice. last year, we we re has happened twice. last year, we were supposed to fly into the capital, sana'a, in rebel hands, the saudis control b airspace and they granted a un airflight to stop us getting in and we were unable to fly, getting in and we were unable to fly, we found a way in by a ship. ways to get in but there is a long process and you are never sure if you can arrive. i have been three times now to aden, the first occasions, we had to take a 20 hour journey at sea. this time, we did flying, but on every occasion, you don't know if these arrangements will work until the last minute. and you supervise the whole time? it depends where you are. we have just beenin depends where you are. we have just been in government—held territory, our movements are not controlled and we travelled around and spoke to who we travelled around and spoke to who we wa nted we travelled around and spoke to who we wanted and we did not have minders checking what we were doing. and when we operated in sana'a, and the control of the houthi rebels,

people were assigned from the information ministry and we asked for permission in advance and tell them where we wanted to go and get pieces of paper to get us through checkpoints and without those official documents, we could not pass. but there was no attempt to prevent us from speaking to people once we did travel around. and because it is so difficult report from, do the people you meet feel like the outside world is not paying attention? i have never found any hostility from people in yemen. i have found people incredibly welcoming. very gentle and kind and caring about our well—being, concerned for us and our safety and comfort. i think people would love to receive more help and more attention. nobody has ever complained to me and said, where is everyone? but you get the feeling that they are in a way on their very last legs. this was the poorest country in the arab world is to begin with, before this conflict escalated. terrible malnutrition

rates which have skyrocketed. so there is a real sense now, as one official has put it, of yemen being a minute to midnight. as bad as things are, eight million are a step away from famine and if there is no political solution by the end of the year, that figure could reach 18 million. for more information on the situation in yemen, you can find that online at bbc news. that is it for the sedition. i am away for a couple of weeks. i will see very. goodbye. hello. i have some sunshine and some heat. so far, some familiar. also a

little bit of rain. thursday, another largely dry day. some mist patches clearing quickly. long spells of sunshine, a small towns of a shower across spells of sunshine, a small towns of a shower across eastern spells of sunshine, a small towns of a shower across eastern scotland and north east england, temperatures 28 or 29 north east england, temperatures 28 or29 in the north east england, temperatures 28 or 29 in the south east but club beckons across the north west of scotla nd beckons across the north west of scotland with a little bit of rain later in the day. —— cloud thickens. we have got used to weather systems moving across the atlantic and steered to the north by the jet strea m steered to the north by the jet stream but this time, it is a little different, as we move into friday, the jet stream dives southwards allowing one weather system at least to make progress across the british isles. some of us will get heavy rain from this across scotland and northern ireland for a time. as the rain sinks into england and wales, it will peter out and fizzle away, not much rain down into the south. here, again, another very warm day. a chance of downpours across the south—eastern corner on friday

night, hit and south—eastern corner on friday night, hitand miss south—eastern corner on friday night, hit and miss thunderstorms may creep up from the near continent and uncertainty about this, but if you catch one, you really will know about it. that rainmaker, that weather system, sites to the south east by saturday. high pressure ta kes east by saturday. high pressure takes charge once again. for the weekend, back to the generally dry conditions, pretty warm as well, the potential for a bit patchy rain. the re m na nts of potential for a bit patchy rain. the remnants of that brand in the south might bring showers on saturday morning. elsewhere, it is largely fine and dry with sunshine and patchy cloud and temperatures, 19 in glasgow, edinburgh, belfast, 25 in london, a little down but that won't last. on sunday, temperatures pounds upwards, lots of sunshine in the south, more cloud further north and some patchy rain in the far north west and temperatures beginning to creep up again and that is the trend that continues into monday. the weather systems again steered away by the jet stream towards the north, close enough to the north west to

bring patchy rain, more cloud for scotla nd bring patchy rain, more cloud for scotland and northern ireland and a bit of rain in the far north west. the further south and east you look, long spells of sunshine and look at these temperatures. orange spreading across the charter, 31, 30 2 degrees looking likely on monday afternoon. what does the jet stream do as we get deeper into next week? for the most part, steering weather systems away to the north west. this dip in the jet stream, diving southwards around the middle part of the week, thatis around the middle part of the week, that is pivotal in the forecast because in this dip, there is an area of low pressure. how close will this get? most of the heavy rain will stay out in the atlantic. some fringing into the north west at at times, but ahead of that low pressure, we will continue to get very warm and very humid airfrom the south. expect a pretty hot spell, i suspect, the south. expect a pretty hot spell, isuspect, through the south. expect a pretty hot spell, i suspect, through next week.

so summing things up, the days will be hot, the nights will be warm and humid as well, sunny spells, the chance of thunderstorms but a bit of rain in the north west, and it will also be cooler. so yes, some heat and some sunshine and a little bit of rain in the mix as well. tonight at 10pm... sir cliff richard wins his privacy case against the bbc — he says senior executives should admit their mistakes and "carry the can". sir cliff said today the bbc‘s coverage of a raid on his home had been a serious invasion of privacy. the raid was in relation to an allegation of sexual assault. sir cliff was never arrested or charged. i can't really answer too many questions at the moment. it's going to take a little while for me to get over the whole emotional factor, so i hope you'll forgive me. i'll talk to some other time. thank you very much. bbc executives said its journalists had acted in good faith, the judgment was potentially damaging, and it was considering an appeal. it will put decision—making about naming individuals in the hands of the police over the public‘s right to know.

we don't believe this is compatible with liberty and press freedoms. we'll have details of the judgment, and we'll be considering
