welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. my name is nkem ifiekja. our top stories: hurricane lane heads closer to hawaii. some areas are dealing with catastrophic flooding. hawaii is going to be impacted by hurricane lane, the question is how bad. president trump cancels his envoy‘s trip to north korea, saying there's not enough progress on denuclearisation. a british couple die suddenly in an egyptian hotel — their family don't believe the official explanation. an online sensation. two youtube stars go head to head in the boxing ring, and millions of dollars are at stake. hawaii is bracing itself for floods and landslides, as tropical storm lane makes its way past the islands. although no longer categorised as a hurricane, authorities

are warning that lives are still at risk. it's the biggest storm to hit the islands in nearly three decades. james cook is in hawaii. this is what hurricane lane has done to hawaii already, and it's still churning towards the islands. so far, it's not the ferocious winds, but the torrential rain which is the biggest problem. there are reports of catastrophic flooding, of landslides and of water rescues. tourists among those who've been pulled to safety. police loudspeaker: attention, attention, the beaches are closed. please leave the area. the big island in hawaii, hawaii county, has received in some cases, some reports of two feet of rain already. and unfortunately, there's more to come, so the impacts are going to grow. the real question is when does it start to make its turn to the worst? if it drifts further north, that means you're going to see

a storm surge, greater wind impacts as well as increased rainfall. hundreds of islanders have been forced to flee their homes. has this ever done this before? no, this is the first time. i've been here for 11 years and this is the first time we've seen it here. across the state, dozens of evacuation centres have been set up. major hurricanes are rare on hawaii, and as the storm approached many people heeded the dire warnings, stocking up on food and water as a state of emergency was declared. we have the help of the federal and all of the counties here making sure that we are protecting the health, safety and welfare of all of our people, including the tourists who are in the state right now. people were forced from a storm shelter as a wildfire was driven before the gale. this shows the unpredictability of a hurricane, it is smoke rather

than spray that is filling the air here as they try to put out this wildfire, that is being driven by the storm. is this a big one for hawaii? yeah, it is a big one, but it don't seem to be... it's mostly the fire that we're worried about, the storm is not a concern right now. the beaches are now closed, but nothing was going to stop these surfers from seeking the ultimate thrill of catching a wave on the edge of a hurricane. james cook, bbc news, maui. earlier i spoke to bbcjournalist lesley day from waikiki, a few miles from honolulu. you would think the beach is open as usual. there are hundreds of people on the beach behind me coming here, making the most of the sea and the brilliant storm surge — the waves that the surfers have

been using all morning. the skin that last bit before the storm before it approaches. there has been one update with regards to hurricane lane. we're still looking at in excess of 100 mile an hour winds, but authorities are talking about the rain. the rain seems to be the main issue. heavy rain that is going to fall. the big island has already had the storm come in and 30 inches of rain there. if it hits mountainous areas of oahu to the north, they could look at over a0 inches, with chances of landslides and flash flooding — as the pacific hurricane centre called it, "catastrophic, life—threatening floods." what is the plan for those who are there at the moment, because presumably they are not going to be on the beach forever, but need to take shelter and hide away somewhere. yesterday at four o'clock, the state authorities decided to test the tsunami alert.

let's be clear, this was a difference on yesterday, a category four hurricane. the biggest concern then was that there would be massive storm surge coming in, 25—30 foot waves that could flood the coastal areas, so they tested the siren. and most of the tourists in the pool and beach area ran closer to the beach to start taking selfies. the concern is tourists, particularly european tourists, and those from placeslike britain, do not have an understanding of massive disaster agencies, so the chances of a siren going, they do not know what to do. hotels are doing what best they can to inform them. most people are being told to stay in their rooms. as you can see behind me, not all the tourists are. residents are different matter. most of the 20 shelters on the island of oahu are full. buses have stopped running to them. residents, if they have not got into them, are stockpiling supplies and a battening down the hatches

for the next 6—12 hours. let's get some of the day's other news. pope francis will arrive in ireland later, the first papal visit to the country in almost a0 years. thousands of people are expected to turn out to see him but some victims of abuse by catholic priests say that in spite of repeatedly apologising, pope francis hasn't taken enough action to protect people in the future. the family of us republican senator john mccain say he will no longer be continuing treatment for brain cancer. mr mccain was diagnosed with an aggressive form of the disease last summer and had been having treatment. he left washington to be with his family in arizona, though he has still been a vocal political figure and frequent critic of president trump. thousands of venezuelans have been arriving in peru to try and beat a deadline imposed by the government which could stop

them migrating there. from midnight, they'll need to produce a passport and notjust an identity card to gain entry. meanwhile a court in ecuador has ordered the government there to lift border restrictions imposed last week. president trump has cancelled plans for his secretary of state to visit north korea. mr trump said progress toward the us goal of de—nuclearising the korean peninsula was too slow. david willis reports from washington. capping eight to multi this week at home, president trump is now facing a major setback involving a key area of foreign policy. following what he described as a successful summit with kim jong—un in described as a successful summit with kimjong—un in singapore earlier this year, plans were made

for the secretary of state to revisit north korea this weekend, only to those players to be scrapped 24 only to those players to be scrapped 2a hours later. —— only for those plans. finally, it has dawned on donald trump that perhaps the nuclear problem with north korea is not over. and so i think what he has donein over. and so i think what he has done in his mind is to say, we've done in his mind is to say, we've done our part but somehow china is not doing its part. why is china not doing its part? it is they are in a trade war with us. so we will get the trade war over and then we will get going on this. in singapore mr trump said the nuclear threat from north korea was now over, but the agreement reached between the two man was vague, and mr kim has since shown little willingness to dismantle his nuclear arsenal, for all the optimism of the trump administration. many hours of productive conversations. these are complicated issues. but we made progress on almost all of the central issues. the north's take on mr pompeo's first follow—up as it

was slightly less reassuring. they accused the americans of employing gangster like tactics. previous administrations have fallen victim to foot dragging on the part of the north koreans, for all the bonding that took base in singapore, the path to denuclearisation on the korean peninsula may be longer and bumpier than president trump had predicted. the united nations says that 22 children and four women have been killed by a saudi—led coalition air strike in yemen. they were fleeing fighting in and around the key port city of hudaida yesterday. it comes just weeks after a strike on a bus killed more than a0 children. egyptian authorities say a british couplejohn and susan cooper, who were on holiday there, died of natural causes. but that's being disputed by their daughter, who says they were in "perfect health" before they suddenly became very ill in their hotel room in hurghada, on the red sea. judith moritz reports. john and susan cooper are said

to have started their holiday in great spirits, going to bed on monday in good health, but gravely ill the next day, when they were discovered by their daughter. i believe that their death is not due to natural causes, and something on the evening of their death does not add up. my parents went to sleep on the monday evening fit, healthy and in good spirits, and they woke the following morning in very poor health. medical action was taken, but unfortunately, nobody could do anything to save their lives. i have made accusations, and i need answers. they meant the absolute world to me. nobody could have asked for anyone better. they were the salt of the earth. the family were staying at the five—star steigenberger aqua magic hotel, in the egyptian red sea resort of hurghada. today their tour operator, thomas cook, said that although the circumstances of the coopers' deaths were unclear, there'd been reports of a raised

level of illness amongst guests. the hotel disputes this. thomas cook is removing all 300 of its customers, offering them a different hotel or a flight home. everybody‘s really worried. we flew out on tuesday, which is the day that these poor, poor people passed away, and must say i'm really sorry about what's happened. but i think we should have been given the option whether to come or not, and now we've chosen to go home. absolutely dreadful, all i could think of was, like, "i just want to go home." janine traviss has just come back from the same hotel and has spent the last three weeks on antibiotics. she and her partner, lee brooke, both had terrible stomachs cramps. he went downhill more rapidly than i did and became quite unwell, by the evening time, he was just in the room being violently sick. stomachs cramps, nausea, dizziness, really, really unwell. and i, by this time, was sort of in quite a lot of pain. for thomas cook, this is very close to home — susan cooper worked

at their burnley branch. it was closed today, mrs cooper described as a loyal and long—serving member of staff. the company says it's helping with the authorities' investigations, and is deeply saddened by the deaths of susan and john cooper. judith moritz, bbc news. stay with us on bbc news. still to come: spain's government agrees to exume former fascist dictator general franco from his tomb, to the anger of his modern—day supporters. he's the first african—american to win the presidential nomination of a major party, and he accepts exactly a5 years ago to the day that martin luther king declared "i have a dream." as darkness falls tonight, an unfamiliar light will appear

in the south—eastern sky. an orange glowing disk that is brighter than anything save the moon — our neighbouring planet, mars. there is no doubt that this election is an important milestone in the birth of east timor as the world's newest nation. it'll take months and billions of dollars to repair what katrina achieved injust hours. three weeks is the longest the great clock has been off duty in 117 years, so it was with great satisfaction that clock makerjohn vernon swung the pendulum to set the clock going again. this is bbc world news. the latest headlines: tropical storm lane is moving closer to hawaii, lashing the big island with huge waves, torrential rains and catastrophic flooding. in the last hour, it's been downgraded from a hurricane to a tropical storm.

president trump has cancelled next week's planned trip to north korea by the us secretary of state, citing delays in the process towards denuclearisation. spain's socialist government has passed a decree to exhume the remains of the late fascist dictator francisco franco from a huge mausoleum near madrid. they say the site glorifies spain's fascist past, but many say the remains should be left to rest in peace. andrew plant reports. high on a mountainside near madrid, a 152m—high cross marks the resting place of more than 30,000 soldiers killed on both sides of the spanish civil war, and francisco franco, spain's former fascist dictator. now, the government has taken the controversial decision to have franco's remains exhumed and moved elsewhere. translation:

it is completely intolerable for a mature democracy like ours to have the victims from the civil war in the same place as franco's tomb. it is disrespectful to the people buried in the same place. franco took power when the war ended in 1939, establishing a dictatorship, until his death 36 years later, when spain became a democracy. talk of exhuming his remains has been divisive, several hundred protesters making fascist salutes outside the site last month. many feel spanish history should be left alone. translation: there are many problems in spain. i think this decision is to divert attention. moving franco from the valley of the fallen does not solve anything. it is not clear where his remains

will be moved to, but spain's government say they want the exhumation completed by the end of the year, though the decree will still have to be agreed to by the spanish parliament first. after a week when president trump saw his legal woes mount, there is a renewed focus on november's congressional elections. even the mention of impeachment is firing up both sides. and while democrats believe getting young voters to the ballot box will be key to winning back the house, mr trump has his own young supporters who are deeply devoted. the bbc‘s chris buckler reports. it's up to you, your generation. in the presidential ballroom of the president's own washington hotel is a gathering of the trump teams. crowd chants: usa, usa! hundreds of republican high school students in the capitol for a banquet meal and a week of conservative politics, and many here share

donald trump's view of the world. i don't think trump's a republican. i think you can make a whole party based on what trump believes. he's conservative in some areas but he's also not conservative in some areas. you see yourself as a trump party rather than the republican party? yes, 100%. oh, that never gets old! little seems to shake the belief of the president's most devoted supporters, but donald trumer knows his father is a divisive figure, and recent days have only widened the gap between those who love him and those who loathe him. hate and bs is not a political platform. that is all the other side has these days. but between the booing and jeering for political opponents and the many chants against the so—called fake news media, president trump seems to have encouraged some hate himself. i think he'sjust changing everything up.

hate has always been there and he'sjust stirring up all of politics and people don't like that he's changing things. but that means stirring up hate? i mean, like, he's being 100% honest, which isn't always what we get from our presidents or the news or anything, and regardless of what they do, no—one is going to like a person 100%, so hate will be built no matter what. there is growing pressure for both republicans and democrats to get their voters out in november's congressional elections, and that's partly because the president has been forced to address the possibility of impeachment. it's 7pm in the evening and there's a line of people in order to get into this church, and it stretches right down the street, and they're here to talk notjust about gun control but also politics in america. is there anybody here that maybe you're not registered to vote? congress would vote on impeachment proceedings, making the next elections crucial, and for democrats, the youth vote really could matter.

i think it's really disappointing and really heartbreaking to see a united states president who just has such disregard for the youth of our country. this event in georgia was one of dozens of stops on a nationwide tour by students from parkland in florida. they became famous in the worst circumstances, when 17 people from their school were shot dead. but despite months of campaigning, president trump has avoided the gun law reforms they want. it's about human lives and saving human lives and no matter what party you're from, you should support that, so we need to keep as many people together as we can and not be more divisive. but on guns, politics and president trump, america is split. would there be anybody who supports president trump here? all: no. and the last week may only have deepened this country's divides. chris buckler, bbc news, washington. it's being described as one of the biggest events in the history of the internet,

despite the fact the names ksi and logan paul probably mean little to some people. the two youtube stars are set to earn millions of dollars in a boxing match on saturday that's being broadcast via pay per view online. colin paterson reports. the biggest international event in history! two of the biggest youtube stars taking their online rivalry into the boxing ring. i can't wait to punch you right in your stupid, smug face. britain's ksi and his american opponent, logan paul, each have almost 20 million subscribers, predominantly teenage boys attracted by their mix of comedy, bad language and hostility towards other youtube stars. despite not being professional boxers, tomorrow night, both are set to make 7—figure sums in a pay—per—view fight broadcast live not on satellite tv, but on youtube. a lot of people watching this fight are very young. how good a role model are you?

i never like people calling me a role model. i'm not a role model, i'm just a guy that does things on the internet and if people are inspired by that, then that's cool. but logan paul is the baddie of the piece after causing global outrage earlier this year by filming the body of an apparent suicide victim in a japanese forest. i made a severe and continuous lapse in myjudgement and i don't expect to be forgiven. i'm simply here to apologise. today, he made it clear that he is still trying to make amends. i don't think this is "the redemption". i think it may mark a part of it, but by no means is this fight a redemption for my mistake that happened injanuary. this fight also shows the way that the entertainment industry is changing. for the last decade, youtube stars have worked out how to monetise their huge online following. this is taking it to a different level. this is an audience

who are used to not paying. it's a pay—per—view event tomorrow, so in live numbers, we are expecting it to be huge. but over the period of time of the content, it will run to hundreds of millions of impressions. no matter who loses, both are set to be winners. a rematch in the usa is already scheduled. colin paterson, bbc news, manchester. pa rt part in the for seven figures? that isa part in the for seven figures? that is a no—brainer. ——a punch in the face for seven figures? we're often told man's best friend is a dog but for many people, the only pet they can manage is a goldfish. small, easy to look after — they should be the ideal companion. but experts say these aquatic creatures may not thrive in a domestic environment. now, an aquarium in paris is offering an alternative. the bbc‘s tim allman explains. prepare yourselves for an emotional farewell. this is emmy and her goldfish, louis pablo. for some time now, they have been inseparable but all good things must come to an end.

translation: i have had my fish for two years. i've done all i could for him. it is really sad. i read a lot of articles saying it is unreasonable to keep a fish in these conditions. i'm quite attached to him. but i said to myself that two years is enough and now, it is time for him to move on. the paris aquarium has opened its doors, and its tanks, to more than 600 goldfish. stuck in a bowl, they can expect to live maybe two or three years. somewhere like here, their life expectancy is more like 20 years. translation: goldfish need a minimum of 100 litres of water, a companion, some decoration, and a filtration system to maintain the correct levels of nitrogen. it is very important. otherwise, the fish is unhappy and, infact, maltreated. so people can bring us their goldfish. but what about emie and louis pablo?

well, first he will go into quarantine, then he can join all his goldfish brothers and sisters in the main aquarium. a sad moment for his former owner, but she will always be able to visit. the japanese military has its very first female fighter pilot — a woman who was inspired to take to the skies after watching the hollywood film top gun as a girl. misa matsushima has taken part in an official ceremony, which means she'll be able to fly f-iss for the country's air self—defense force. the 26—year—old said she wants to fulfil her duties for the military and inspire other women. women have been barred from applying to be fighterjet pilots, but the ban was lifted in 2015, which meant misa has been able to fulfil her childhood dream.

i guess she felt the need for speed the very first time she watched top gun. and you can get in touch with me and most of the team on twitter. i'm @nkem ifejika. thank you very much for watching. goodbye. hello. loads of showers around on friday, some really heavy with hail and thunder. also cool right across the board. the cool conditions continue into the weekend and, of course, for many of us, this is a bank holiday weekend. we will see further showers at times, but also some sunshine. friday's showers clearing away with this low pressure during the early hours of saturday. a few showers still remaining across northern and western areas, a few pushing into the midlands there. but with lengthy clear skies, a chilly start to this morning, with temperatures widely in single figures.

across scotland and north—east england, some sheltered spots could get close to freezing. we start the morning on a chilly note, but largely dry and bright with lots of sunshine. breezy across the north—east. elsewhere, showers developing here and there, but nowhere near as many as we saw on friday. with slightly lighter winds across the south and the west, despite the fact it will still be quite cool for this time of year with below—average temperatures, it should feel a little bit better. heading through saturday night, it will be another chilly one. a veil of high cloud pushes in off this weather system. i don't think it will be as cool to start sunday as we were expecting this morning. double—figure values across many areas. this area of low pressure will come hurtling in on sunday. it will spread east throughout the day to bring wet and windy weather. a bit of brightness across the far east for a while, but a cool start. very soon, the cloud will thicken up. wet and windy weather spreads to all areas.

some of this will be heavy. in western areas, it could be blustery with winds of a0—a5mph in the south and the west. it will feel disappointingly cool with all the cloud, wind, and rain. temperatures generally in the mid—to—high teens celsius. our area of low pressure pushes into the near continent, then for monday, it looks like we are into a ridge of high pressure, so a bit quieter. still breezy in the west and north—west, but that will feed in further clouds to england and wales through the afternoon. so a few showers but, for most places, drier and quieter, temperatures ranging from 17 to 21 or 22 degrees in the south—east, so a touch warmer. heading through tuesday, a fine and settled day, with a ridge of high pressure and feeling a little bit warmer with some sunny spells.

this is bbc news. the headlines: hurricane lane — currently bringing high winds and heavy rain to parts of hawaii — has been downgraded to a tropical storm. more than 2,000 people are sheltering in evacuation centres, others have been stocking up on water and food. emergency authorities expect the risk of flash flooding and landslides to grow. president trump has cancelled next week's planned trip to north korea by his secretary of state. in tweets, mr trump complained that not enough progress had been made in dismantling pyongyang's nuclear programme. he blamed china for the stalled process — suggesting a link with current trade tensions. pope francis is due to arrive in ireland for the first papal visit there in four decades. the centrepiece of the visit will be a mass on sunday in front of 500,000 people. a series of scandals has damaged the reputation of the catholic church in recent years. there is no safe level of alcohol consumption.

that's the stark message from one of the most significant studies
