criticised by some brexiteers, who say he's engaging in "project fea r". our business editor simonjack reports. wish you were here. this is no holiday. government ministers are touring the scorching capitals of europe hoping to persuade lead evers to get behind its proposed deal with the eu. the prime minister each cut short her own holiday to join the french president on his. the governor of the bank of england cranked up the temperature at home with this strongly worded warning. the possibility of a no deal is uncomfortably high at this point. it does mean potential disruption, to trade as we know it, and as a consequence of that, a disruption to the level of economic activity changes higher prices, for a period of time. the governor of the bank of england

doesn't say anything by mistake, he knows his every utterance is scrutinised so this was a deliberate intervention at a usual moment from a governor who thinks it is hisjob to highlight risks that others think is too political by half. the become manager who won't be here in a while or $0 manager who won't be here in a while or so has told us that everything will be terrible and the end of the world. well, he said that before, but the british people have said no, we're coming out of the european union, and i'm afraid they, people like the manager of the bank of england has got to accept it. i mean he can go back to canada if he wants to but we are coming out. but the boss of rbs said the uncertainty over how we leave is affecting the value and prospects of a bank still largely owned by the taxpayer. so we are preparing this bank for a very slow time in 2019. no matter what

happens through brexit, we are able to look after our customer base, but it does bear down on the share price. so there is a brexit discount on uk focussed stocks? there is, uncertain #2i brings discount. the bank of england may be sweating over the brexit outcome, but the governor also today offered this reassurance. the financial system will be ready. for that under social and still unlikely possibility. the financial system will be ready. ready but hardly willing. tonight, french president macron is entertaining a guest on a mission. not the holiday either would have hoped for. 0ur europe correspondent adam fleming is at the medieval fortress in the south of france, where the two leaders are meeting. theresa may is on her latest leg of her charm offensive across europe, how well do you think her message is going to go down in france? the

whole reason this is happening is that the brexit talks are about to enter a new phase, for a year now, they have been talking about wrapping up the uk's membership into a withdrawal treaty. now they are about to start discussing another document, a so—called political declaration, which will sketch out the shape of the future relationship between the uk and the eu, long after brexit. theresa may would like that declaration to be based on the white paper that her government published a couple of weeks ago and she is now on a mission to make sure every eu leader understands exactly what she is offering and how much she is compromising, rather than having it interpreted on her behalf by somebody like the eu chief negotiator, there were three challenges she has to face though, number one, the eu has structured the brexit talks they all stick together and act as one, number two, they are not convinced that the chequers plan, the white paper is consistent with their red lines and three, they also want progress on things like the irish board e which

is unresolved so plenty of the sister of a woman missing for more than a week, has made an emotional appeal for help in finding her. gemma eastwood broke down in tears as she described her older sister, samantha, as her best friend. the 28—year—old midwife was last seen at the end of her shift at the royal stoke hospital last friday morning. a 32—year—old man, arrested in connection with her disappearance, has been released on bail, while inquiries continue. phil mackie reports. samantha eastwood was described by herfamily as happy, bubbly and smiley and an amazing midwife. today, her sister made a tearful appeal for help tracing her. she is my best friend and partner in crime. without her, half of me is gone. samantha, if you are listening, please get in touch,

we all love you and miss you very much. we just need you home where you belong. this was the last confirmed sighting of samantha. she's on the left, leaving work after a night shift at 7:a5am last friday morning. then driving away in her car, a few minutes later. she hasn't been seen since. this is where they found samantha's car and her keys were inside her house. neighbours have reported hearing a screen at around two o'clock last friday afternoon. police have said that is one of many different lines of inquiry. a 32—year—old man who was arrested on suspicion of kidnap has been released under investigation. dozens of officers are involved in the search and they hope the appeal willjog someone's memory. they are also trying to find samantha's distinctive radley purse, which is missing. samantha was jovial, talking about future plans, there were 110 concerns about her mental state, so, you know, to disappear isjust totally out of character and that has obviously ramped up the concern from everybody. police have described it as

a high—risk missing—person enquiry. friends and family still hope that samantha will return to them soon. if she is out there or anyone knows where she is, just please get in touch. get her home. phil mackie, bbc news, staffordshire. the opposition in zimbabwe, says it won't accept what it calls the "fake" results, of the country's general election. emmerson mnan—gagwa, of the ruling zanu—pf party, emmerson mnangagwa, of the ruling zanu—pf party, was elected president by a narrow margin, and he called on zimbabweans to come together in peace and unity. but the defeated candidate nelson chamisa, says he can prove the process was rigged, saying it was a "coup against the people's will". 0ur correspondent nomsa maseko reports from the capital harare. the day started quietly. no celebrations, the morning after an election which declares

emmerson mnangagwa leader. but there were pockets of disruption. rder, a press conference by opposition leader nelson chamisa was interrupted by riot police. from chamisa was allowed to speak eventually. he claims the election was rigged, and that the results announced by zimba bwe's was rigged, and that the results announced by zimbabwe's electoral commission do not reflect the will of the people. if you go round the country, you will find that there is no jubilation, no celebration, if anything, today is a day of mourning. mourning over democracy. it isa mourning. mourning over democracy. it is a black day because we are seeing a repeat of what we saw during the regime. very late last night, the electoral commission declared the result. therefore, emerson mnangagwa of zanu-pf is

therefore, emerson mnangagwa of zanu—pf is therefore duly declared elected president of the republic of zimbabwe. this legitimises his position following a military coup that ousted former strong man robert mug by last november. the ruling zanu—pf has dismissed allegations of vote—rigging and president emerson mnangagwa has extented an olive branch. to nelson chamisa. i want to say you have a crucial role to play in zimba bwe's present say you have a crucial role to play in zimbabwe's present and in its future, and its unfolding future. let us both call for peace and unity, in ourland. call for both louder. the opposition is yet to provide solid evidence to prove that the vote has been stolen. it will also be hard—pressed to persuade the international community

to turn its back against president emerson mnangagwa. with the results as close as this, there is no doubt that the next few days will be crucial for this 0ur africa editor fergal keane joinsjoins us now. is there any sign parts of the opposition may be able to accept the call for the new nation to come together? certainly not nelson chamisa but he, he is the leader of the party, there are other voices within the mdc who told me in the last 2a hours, look, we have to look at the lessons we can learn from the election defeat. now you will have the party going through a court process , the party going through a court process, that will take some of the stea m process, that will take some of the steam out of the a moss fear at the moment. there is no sense that chamisa wants to bring people on to the street. he disavowed violence by

mdc supporters and others in his movement are saying let us look at the disunity in our ranks that may have cost us votes, you will also see on the part of the government, a much greater attempt by president emerson mnangagwa and a couple of key people round him like the foreign minister to get a grip on the security situation, they have been hugely embarrassed by the spectacle, the tragedy we saw of people being shot by soldier, and then today, this farce where riot police turn up at a press conference with the world's media watching and order journalists out. with the world's media watching and orderjournalists out. he took that so orderjournalists out. he took that so seriously president emerson mnangagwa he sent his information minister to stop it. so on both sides more moderate voices are trying to take control of the agenda. 0k, thank the youngest woman to be convicted of plotting a terror attack on british soil, has been jailed for life with a minium of 13 years. safaa boular, who's now 18, planned to carry out a gun and grenade attack on the british museum.

but her experience after he was born is hard to forget. despite feeling unwell after an emergency c—section, she was discharged from hospital. she felt feverish and her wound was infected. but midwives told her not to worry. then back in hospital, on antibiotics, it turned out she had contracted sepsis. i asked the midwife to take him away, because i felt, and i know now, not being unwell, i think, "oh gosh, how could any mother do that?", but i asked the midwife, i laid in bed, after asking her to take my son because i didn't want a crying baby, and i said "am i going to die?" sepsis can cause death or organ failure without antibiotics. it's a serious complication which can develop from infections like blood poisoning. if you take this particular hospital here... this health safety expert told me that official data showed that sepsis deaths in english hospitals had gone up more than a third in two years.

the biggest thing that's important seems to be the number of staff, doctors per bed is the most important thing. one of the secondary important things is overcrowding of hospitals. there is greater public awareness of sepsis, as there is across the health service. in fact, nhs england say that because of greaterer recognition by staff, some cases previously diagnosed as other conditions are now correctly recorded as sepsis, and that might be one factor behind the higher number of deaths. campaigners accept that, but they argue there is a complex problem. we've got the very real and current risk of increasing resistance among bacteria to antibiotics, which is going to play a part in, play an increasing part as time goes on, and added to all of that, we've got the increase in pressure on the nhs. forjessie, sepsis has blighted her early days as a new mum. it's also affected my trust in hospitals. i feel very apprehensive about going on and having my second child.

every part of me doesn't want to go to hospital, i want to stay at home. she says she doesn't want to knock the nhs, but to highlight the pressures facing staff. like others, she want to see urgent action and more resources to tackle sepsis. hugh pym, bbc news. it is 16 minutes past six. our top story this evening. theresa may is in brexit talks with president macron, at his french holiday home, as the governor of the bank of england warns of a ‘no deal‘ brexit. and still to come, profits are up at amazon, but its tax bill falls — we'll be looking at why. coming up on sportsday on bbc news. emotions run high in washington as andy murray says he might not play in the quarterfinal

after sealing his third—round victory at 3am. while britain basks in summer heat, travellers heading for europe are preparing for near record—breaking temperatures. the highest ever recorded on the continent was 48 degrees celcius, in athens more than a0 years ago. portugal is forecast to sizzle at over 47 this weekend, while parts of spain have been well into the mid 40s today. sima kotecha is in cordoba in southern spain. sima. clive, for many the conditions here this evening are

incredibly uncomfortable, we know that the highest temperature recorded in the south of spain today was 46.1; celsius and we also know that a second man has died due to this heat. he was 78 and from the region, but these high temperatures are not expected to subside for at least another few days yet. a city exhausted by the heat. in monduro, there is little movement today. and the sweltering conditions are having an impact on the younger and older generations. i drink a lot of water. i go to the swimming pool and i have a siesta in the afternoon. translation: old people do not go out, between three and half six or seven in the evening here. you will see nobody on the streets. everyone is at home with their fan and these days, air conditioning. if you can afford it. temperatures here have been the highest in the country over the last few days. with the gauge peaking at 45 degrees yesterday. an hour or so away in cordoba, in the southern region of andalusia, there is concern about those who are visiting. of course, people coming to cordoba, they want to see everything, they want to visit all the places in cordoba, but they are not used to these temperatures, so, it is ok if they are inside the places, but do not walk around

in the midday, it is dangerous for them. of course, summers in this part of the world are hot, but this heat is exceptional. most of it is down to the hot air coming in from northern africa and stagnating over the iberian peninsula. that, in turn, could affect conditions in the uk. the great mosque dominates the centre of this city. its ancient heritage, an intricate detail that attracts tourists from across the world. for those from britain, the torrid weather is unbearable. we just feel like we are absolutely melting. it is so hot, i think we are just kind of dodging the sun and trying to find some shade, get some ice creams, trying to stay hydrated, it is absolutely boiling. we just got in the car, put on the air con, we had just travelled for an hour. we will get back into the car soon. is that ice cream cooling you down a bit? yeah.

yeah? in neighbouring portugal, it has also been intense, with similar temperatures. it is often said that britons like complaining about the weather, but now it seems even the spanish are catching the habit. sima kotecha, bbc news, cordoba. the online retail giant amazon, paid less tax in the uk last year than the year before, even though it's profits almost trebled. the company insists it pays what it should, and is investing heavily in the uk. our technology correspondent rory cellan—jones is here. 0ne one wonders how this is possible. this is about one part of amazon's boasters, the warehouse and delivery operation and that has seen profits rise sharply. in 2016 they were 2a million and the following year they we re million and the following year they were up to 72 million. meanwhile,

the tax bill has gone down from 7.4 million in 2016 to just 4.6 billion last year. the reason for that is a scheme where amazon gives all of its employees free shares, they have done well reaping big profits for the employees and amazon is about to set that off against tax. the company says it pays all the tax thatis company says it pays all the tax that is due and is investing in the uk. its rivals on the high street are not worried about the tax, they are not worried about the tax, they are worried about the business rates they are paying, far more than something like amazon and they say it is not a level playing field. thank you. president trump has responded to claims, he was late for his meeting with the queen, on his uk visit last month. at a rally in pennsylvania, he said it went "fantastically well," and he hit out at critics who claimed he overstayed. he says he was in fact 15 minutes early, and said stories to the contrary were "fake, disgusting news". a maiden test half century from 20 year old sam curran,

because we have got a weather front across the country today with thundery showers affecting the north—east. where we see the sunshine in the south of scotland, 24 degrees, 33 in the far south—east and that hate is going to monopolise the south and the east as we go through the weekend. more bearable weather in the north. as we say goodbye to those thundery showers, what we will find is it will feel a little bit more comfortable for sleeping. we are behind that weather front and the higher humidity, but it is still with us for england and wales. around the coast, england, misty low cloud and coastal fog first thing. we have had that for the last couple of days. it will ta ke the last couple of days. it will take time to clear but it looks like a decent day. one or two showers for the west of scotland, but the exception rather than the rule, dry and bright weather, hazy sunshine

and bright weather, hazy sunshine and the heat is still with us, possibly not quite as hot as today but the high 20s again and the low 20s further north. come sunday we have high pressure still with us and any weather fronts will be weak, producing a bit more cloud to the north and west of scotland, possibly in the north—west of northern ireland. again, it does look mostly dry and fine, pleasantly warm in the north, still pretty hot in the south. more on the website. that's it. so goodbye from the bbc news at six. now on bbc one, let's join our news teams where you are. have a very good evening. this is bbc news with carole walker. the headlines: theresa may meets the french president emmanuel macron at his summer retreat on the front riviera, as she tries to build support for her post—brexit trade plans. a warning from bank of england governor mark carney about the
