change to the divorce law in england and wales in almost 50 years, to try to speed up the process of separation and allow more couples to split up without apportioning blame. 0ur split up without apportioning blame. our legal affairs correspondent clive coleman has the story. there has been pressure for decades for a no—fault divorce system. it was recommended in 1990. many seniorjudges favour it. why? when you are getting divorced, you're being ripped apart emotionally and financially and many people feel that adding blame makes a bad situation worse. we almost got it in 1996, it was in an act of parliament, but they pulled back. what lies at the heart of any new system? we will have to wait and see detail but my guess is we will be moving away from a system based around fault and blame. to a system that is essentially a notification system. if a spuse reports the marriage has broken down irretrievably and after a defined

period of time, could be six months or a year, if they are still saying that then they will be entitled to a divorce. some people will say that undermines the institution of marriage but many will say it takes a layer of stress and anxiety away from what can be one of the most traumatic experiences any of us could ever go through. now on bbc news, it is our world. music sweden. for decades, people have been coming here to try to learn the secrets of this country's multiple success secrets of this country's multiple success stories. in openness and transparency, innovation and new technologies. in healthcare, welfare, and gender equality. but

lately, there has been a growing chorus of sweden's sceptics. you look at what is happening last night in sweden... malmo is now the rape capital of europe. they paint a picture of a country where openness and liberalism have created a nightmare that now threatens the very existence of those values themselves. two contradictory narratives. they can't both be true. so what is really going on? a spectacular bridge, well known to fa ns a spectacular bridge, well known to fans of scandinavian crime drama, connects denmark to the swedish city of malmo. but it is real crime that

is worrying people here, and some are blaming immigrants. during the crisis of 2015, sweden took in more refugees per capita than even germany. hundreds of thousands came, attracted by an opendoor policy and generous welfare payments. many settled in an area of malmo called rosengard, already home to a large immigrant population. in the past there have been riots here, cars burned. earlier this year, the police station was bombed. part of rosengard, just over there, in fact, has been designated by the swedish police a vulnerable area. one of 33 such areas police a vulnerable area. one of 33 suci’i areas across police a vulnerable area. one of 33 such areas across the country. now, there are those whose say that is just putting a positive spin on it. what this is is a no—go zone, a ghetto, where crime is spiralling out of control. young guys who don't

have much to do, so, let's have some fights with the police. this is one of the city's most senior police officers. it is what they call the worst area. this is the worst area? yeah. the biggest problem is drugs and guns. ten people have been shot deadin and guns. ten people have been shot dead in malmo this year already. when was the last time you had a shooting here? two weeks ago. where was that? just around here. just here? that's right. that's him? that's him, yes. do you know who did it? we think we know. you think you know? yes. have you made an arrest? not yet. one of the most sensitive topics here is about immigration, and some people say that it is immigration that is to blame for this rise. i don't think so. you don't think so? not at all, no. who

is doing these shootings? are they called sven and bjorn and do they have blond hair? normally not. sweden has also seen a rise in the number of reported rapes and sexual assaults in the past few years. lawyers say the police are struggling to cope. it is like that right now and that is very bad, because if we have police working with rape cases and then we have a lot of shootings in malmo, they need to ta ke lot of shootings in malmo, they need to take police from this, so they have to work with the shooting instead. that means that the rape cases are piled. so they have to wait. ok, let's pause here for a moment. that is part of this story, but there is more. the figures are highly contested. sweden has broadened the legal definition of rape in the past few years. look at what she told us before that could we just showed you. what is going on with rape figures in sweden? are they up, or down? i think they are

up, but it is rather difficult to say why they are up. i think it is a good thing that they are up, because to me it means that more people are reporting it. you don't think that more people are actually being sexually assaulted and raped? no, i don't think so, because we have known for many years that we have a lot of people who do not report, especially in d homes where the most assaults are committed. —— the homes. when journalists report on a story we strive for accuracy and balance, of course. but we often also go in search of a narrative. and in complex situations, one narrative can eclipse another. let's go back to rosengard and start again. part of rosengard, just over there, in fact, again. part of rosengard, just over there, infact, has again. part of rosengard, just over there, in fact, has been designated by the swedish police as a vulnerable area, one of 23 such areas across the country. what does

that mean? it means they have problems, with crime, with unemployment. but this is still sweden, right? how bad can it get? young guys, who don't have much to do... this man has been a police officer in malmo for four decades. the rate of crime in malmo is going down. really? everybody says it is going up. no. what is going up is spectacular shootings. the biggest problems are indeed drugs and guns. the latest shooting was just a couple of weeks ago. who was the guy who was shot? he lived here. a local resident? selling drugs, of course. he was a drug dealer? you knew about him? yeah. everybody who got shot in malmo, a well—known criminal. wright, so the criminals are shooting each other? that's right. there are no innocent victims? no. let's ta ke

there are no innocent victims? no. let's take another look at that sensitive question about immigration? who is doing these shootings? are they called sven and bjorn and do they have blond hair? normally not. right, ok. it you don't think it is to do with immigration. no. explain that. these quys immigration. no. explain that. these guys have not succeeded in school, they don't have a job, and so of course, they are immigrants, but they are second or third generation. so they are actually swedish. both versions of what we have just shown you reflect reality. but it doesn't ta ke you reflect reality. but it doesn't take much to tip a narrative. this isa take much to tip a narrative. this is a story about a wider gulf in perception between the image that sweden projects and the lived experience of some sleeves which has begun to contradict that narrative. —— swedes. to understand the origin

of sweden's image as a beacon for progressives and liberals, you have to go back to the middle of the 20th century. politics was dominated by the social democrats, a party with roots in the labour movement which, through a bold hybrid of socialism and liberalism, appeared to achieve startling results. these are the richest people in the world. they have the highest standard of living ina super have the highest standard of living in a super welfare state which has abolished poverty and eliminated strikes, were everything and eve ryo ne strikes, were everything and everyone works. the only country in the world were seven —year—olds attend lessons on sax. -- sex. sweden projected itself as a model to emulate, but even in the 1960s people were asking, is the good sweden narrative to good to be true? all around the town you can see the discrepancy between the swede as he is, and as he would like to be. they

worship themselves in images of bronze, but are the trolls and gremlins creeping back? one thing the swedes have always worship is the swedes have always worship is the sun. that discrepancy is even starker today. sweden is still regularly comes out —— at or near the top of international rankings for happiness and prosperity. but it spends less than it is still on welfare and public services. we have been so lucky here. now i think we have started to see difficulties in this society, and they don't necessarily have to do with immigration at all. now people see that my kids school is not working, my elderly parents are not being taken care my elderly parents are not being ta ken care of my elderly parents are not being taken care of in a proper way, or the buses or the trains are not working, they are always running late. i think that people are feeling that they are doing everything right but they are not getting back the welfare that we are used to. the heyday of sweden's

liberal socialist hybrid is over. 0ld industries have died. 0thers have sprung up to take their place. the transition to a more globalised economy and a more educated workforce has been good for some, but not for everyone. it has produced a sweden that is less equal and less homogenous. 0f produced a sweden that is less equal and less homogenous. of course, there are elements of truth and of exaggeration in both these narratives. but the good sweden story, the story of this perfect little nation where everything works and everyone lives in harmony, has been so dominant for so long that now that it is being challenged, it feels all the more disturbing. to get beneath the skin of the bad sweden narrative that the country isn't working any more, you have to leave the cities and get out the

countryside. and now‘s drive from malmo we meet morgan nilsson. he is in construction. it was the party of the working man? now, he says me and many of his fellow construction workers have ditched the centre—left and switched to the sweden democrats, a party with its roots in the neo—nazi movement that is riding high in the polls, by focusing on the issue of migration. he says open borders has been bad for swedish workers. migration. he says open borders has been bad for swedish workersm migration. he says open borders has been bad for swedish workers. it is not good for us, who work in construction. we can't compete with them. it is driving down wages and prices? yes. you would like sweden to leave the european union? yes, i don't believe in open borders or

anything. if we can not stop at his coming into the country we don't know who is in the country. all those international rankings, they do not ring true to morgan. to him, it doesn't feel like sweden is the fairand it doesn't feel like sweden is the fair and equal society at once was. lots of people in sweden would not agree with you. they would say like an sweden is great. we have very high standards of living, most people are well off. yes. so what is the problem? i don't know what the problem is, i live good and i have it good and many people have it good. what we don't take —— don't ta ke good. what we don't take —— don't take care of the really sick ones and really poor ones and the older ones. we don't take care of them. i believe in the sweden democrats that was policy, to keep sweden like it has been before. sweden has become disconnected. in

private homes, and public institutions, people are arguing about what kind of country they want this to be. about what kind of country it actually is. those debates will now be tested at the ballot box. in the capital, stockholm, we meet the governing social democrats out canvassing. this is the party that designed sweden's liberal socialist hybrid that has run this country for much of the last century. but lately their support has been shrinking. hello, we are from the bbc. we note! we have been informed. how's it going? pretty good. you seem so positive, like everything isjust great. that is the image we all have

of sweden, where everything works and everything is brilliant. what it actually does. the other day somebody yelled at me. what did they say to you? that i should acknowledge the chaos. and i actually can't see any chaos. yes, of course, there are people that are suffering and hurting, and that is extremely bad, but we can do stomach about it. what do you think that person was talking about? actually, i don't know. that's beating... do you think you are living in a different world ? you think you are living in a different world? probably. i asked him. please can you explain, i don't understand where your chaos is, because i think it is rather nice here. and he just give me the creepy land to set, "the immigrants." here. and he just give me the creepy i and to set, "the immigrants." he

isa i and to set, "the immigrants." he is a startling statistic, sweden today has higher income inequality than the united states did under ronald reagan. wynants word to me that we used to be one of the most egalitarian societies in the that make one swede. we have come to stock on to meet one of the most senior ministers from the ce ntre—left senior ministers from the centre—left governor —— stock on. on our way we got chatting to two young swedes, both out of work and homeless. what should we say to her, what should we ask?|j homeless. what should we say to her, what should we ask? i will ask why are you not helping your people who are you not helping your people who are already here? we are. but we have to do both by his is help your owi'l have to do both by his is help your own people before you help others. this is a guy who came from somalia in1991. we are this is a guy who came from somalia in 1991. we are most generous to the un system, the un bodies to prevent poverty, to create possibilities, to help people rise from poverty in our

countries. around the world. you call yourself humanitarians. we are. this man is saying what about where we are? he has a right to get money to somewhere we live to get to. the mainstream politicians, especially the social democrats, are not talking about the issues that worry me. every day. that is not how people perceive it. there is an interest for people to describe it that way. you saying it is fake news? aim not saying fake news. no, i not saying it is either all, a society is a dark side, a bright side, and all the humans are society is a dark side, a bright side, and allthe humans are in between. i think there is a battle oi'l between. i think there is a battle on how to depict sweden and how to describe reality. why? i think sweden for many years was a roadmap

model for many other countries in the world. we managed to be a progressive democratic state that also offered sort of a welfare system. that is one picture. then of course we have been also affected by the polarisation that we can see everywhere in the world. and there was a political interest in depicting sweden as chaos because of immigration all the refugee crisis —— orthe immigration all the refugee crisis —— or the refugee crisis. sol immigration all the refugee crisis —— or the refugee crisis. so i think we are in the middle of all of that. and on the question of the rate figures. of course there has been an increase in rates. is that related to immigration? i would not say. i do not know exactly how this is. if you come here, so many young men with a completely different view of women and the role of women and sexuality and what have you, this is

something that you also have two in—form, what are our laws, what you cannot do. i think it is a part of it. this country is changing fast. back in malmo i kept returning in my mind to that phrase from the old documentary. all around the town you can see that a scrappy and is —— discrepancy between the swede as he is and how he would like to be. not so is and how he would like to be. not so long ago, voicing concerns about immigration would make you a social and political outcast. no longer. public discourse is catching up with private thoughts. let's take you back to rosengard for a moment. because what's interesting about the sweden isn't working narrative is that it sweden isn't working narrative is thatitis sweden isn't working narrative is that it is shared by many of the second—generation immigrants whose pa rents second—generation immigrants whose parents came here some kind of utopia. no, no, it is not the

reality. it is so far away from reality. it is so far away from reality. what is the reality? it is ha rd to reality. what is the reality? it is hard to explain. they say it is very good to live here. 0k, people live, they have food, but they don't feel goodin they have food, but they don't feel good in their talent, you know. why? i don't know. maybe it is the weather. hussein came to sweden as a young boy. as listed chatting under the tree there was a moment of journalistic serendipity. the newcomer is a syrian. he has been here for five years. and in all my reporting i have rarely seen a happier refugee. from idlib. and how is life? life is good. what is he saying? he

says all the people here are equal. really? is it really true, do you think? people from syria are very well in sweden. you see many of the sweden people now they are angry, because of this man, maybe they don't like him, because they say they can you from the war, they get everything, and really we cannot work, i am swedish. do they have a point, do you think?|j work, i am swedish. do they have a point, do you think? i think they are right. a survey last you rank as the best country in the world to be a refugee. for decades the people who run this country, the politicians, the media, have been deeply invested in this narrative. but it's not the full story. you can live here all your life without speaking swedish. glenn estimates

that unemployment —— unemployment in rosengard, were almost everyone is from an immigrant background, is ten the national average, maybe more. bad sweden. immigration has been a disaster. but until recently to talk about that was to boo. we are not integrating could not. we have to be straight and say who is causing this problem? what would happen if you said that in polite society in central malmo? i would probably be called a racist. maybe a nazi. and after? i don't know why, but i think it is true. do you think political correctness has failed. to see the problem as it is an do something about it. so political correctness is quite literally killing people? that is your word. that is my

interpretation of what said. there are of things. i am putting words in your mouth, a little bit. there are a lot of things that cause that. your mouth, a little bit. there are a lot of things that cause thatm isa a lot of things that cause thatm is a complete problem. it is. before we go, and for the record, a british politician called malmo the rape capital of europe, is that... that is not true. donald trump had something to, i think. that is not good. you look at what is happening la st good. you look at what is happening last night in sweden. sweden. nothing had happened in sweden at night. the american president had watched a documentary on fox news the previous evening that painted sweden as a failing state. of course it isn't, any more than it is a utopia. sweden is a lodestar in a polarised

world. people come here looking for confirmation of their existing worldview. the lesson that they might come back with is this — the web narrative —— beware the simple narrative. that and don't believe everything you see on tv. good morning. the weekend is upon us. many of us will see a little bit of rain at some stage in the weekend. that is by no means the whole story. there will be a lot of dry weather around as well and some spells of sunshine. quite a complex pressure pattern. high pressure to the south. one area of low pressure to the north—east. then this wriggling weather front pushing in from the atlantic. this is essentially going to send a pipeline of moisture in across central parts of the uk. for wales, the midlands,

northern england, we will see outbreaks of rain through the day, the odd heavy burst. some of that rain dribbling down into east anglia. the further south you are more in the way of dry weather, some brightness and brighter skies to be had further north through saturday afternoon. extra cloud through the far north—east of scotland. get yourself into some sunshine. aberdeen 16, 17 in glasgow. a cool fresh feel, similar story for northern ireland. northern england into wales and the midlands, outbreaks of rain at times, the odd heavy burst over the hills, particularly. it will be quite breezy. breezy further south as well. towards the channel islands you may see breaks in the cloud and a little bit of sunshine. remember that pipeline of moisture, it piles its way in as we go through saturday night into sunday. at this stage the rain will drift further north as well, perhaps getting into southern scotland. cool in north—east scotland, further south with a fair amount of cloud it will be mild. outbreaks of rain across western and some northern parts of the uk.

there could be patchy rain and drizzle around through the morning, close to newcastle, as the great north run gets under way. as we go on through the day i am hopeful the cloud will start to break up. we'll see spells of sunshine developing into the afternoon. temperatures around 16 or 17. it will be fairly breezy. across the rest of the country, a similar story. rain will drift across many northern parts of england, northern ireland, and scotland. the rain continues across northern scotland through the day. some thundery showers later on. increasingly windy. further south, more sunshine towards the south east and some slightly higher temperatures as well. moving out of sunday and into monday, high pressure still influencing the weather in the south. more frontal systems in towards the north—west. it will be northern and western parts of the uk that will see outbreaks of rain, often breezy conditions. further south, more in the way of dry weather. some sunshine. and it will start to warm up as well. this is bbc world news.

i'm lebo diseko. our top stories: barack 0bama calls for honesty and decency to be restored in the us government. now president trump hits back. he said, "what do you think of president 0bama's speech?" and i said, "i'm sorry, i watched it but i fell asleep." after a week of fighting, a fragile ceasefire. the bbc makes it into libya's capital, tripoli. we have a special report. and tributes are paid to the young american rapper mac miller, who's been found dead at his home in la after an apparent drug overdose.

today we fight!
