hello, i'm ros atkins, welcome to outside source. italy's interior minister tells the bbc most migrants who arrive in italy will be deported. translation: we can't accept that all migrants get to italian coast and we have to pay for them. either europe steps in or we do it autonomously. russia begins its biggest war games since the cold war, and this time china is taking part, too. we talked about that and hurricane florence on whether it is bearing down on the east coast of the us. one and a half million people have been told to get out of its way. china ranks the country's celebrities — based on how "socially responsible" they are. it is more political than you might think. every day brings new reasons to examine europe's identity —

and the pressure that populism and the far—right are exerting. at the weekend it was sweden — where almost one in five voters supported a party with its roots in neo—nazism. today we'll see the governments of hungary and italy are pushing back at criticism of their anti—immigration policies. in a moment, i'llshow you viktor orban's appearance at the european parliament. first, italy — where two populist parties formed a new government this year. both have risen from the political fringe to power on the back of anti—immigration rhetoric. and the interior minister matteo salvini has become the face of the government and he's refused to allow boats of migrants to dock — like this one — and has threatened to stop paying into eu budgets unless responsibility for new arrivals is shared more evenly with other countries. he famously said that italy could not become "europe's refugee camp".

well mr salvini has given an interview to stephen sackur for the bbc‘s hardtalk programmes. we'll start with that. translation: several hundred thousand migrants reach the italian coast over the past few years, creating a huge economic, social, and legal problems. half of the citizens who are arrested or reported to police every day and italy are migrants. so for security reasons and social order, we need to reduce these arrivals. last year, 100,000 reach italy. this year, we had 20,000 arrivals. so i wanted to lead the country because their work, and this is a limited number. for all the others, the doors are shut. and you are breaking the rules that were agreed by the italian government, with all of the other men know that member states of the european union to run what is called

"operation sofia" and to have these microchips land in the nearest port, which happens to be italy. and then you are now refusing to accept your responsibilities to take these people? translation: no. with the operation as you mentioned, 16,000 immigrants who are arrested and 40,000 arrived in italy. we want to change these views. we are operating to these views, but we want to change them because we cannot accept that all migrants get to the italian coast and we have to pay for them. either europe steps in, or we do it autonomously. the final objective is to spend money in africa. well his message is clear — he doesn't want any more boats arriving on italy's shores. pictures like this one though keep coming into the newsroom. this boat is off the libyan coastline. today we heard more than 100 migrants drowned earlier this month. this is what msf said about that earlier. there were 276 people that were brought back to libya. and it's likely that up to 100 people actually

died in the accident. the survivors tell us that they actually alerted the italian coast guards and that it is only after quite a long time, actually, that a boat from the libyan coast guards came to help them and rescue them. what is happening in the mediterranean is impacting on policies all over europe. across europe, we've seen anti—immigrant parties making electoral gains — in particular since migrant crisis of 2015 and 16. these are some examples — starting with sweden at the weekend. almost 18% of voters supported the sweden democrats, a far—right party with its roots in neonazism. in austria, chancellor sebastian kurz — a 31—year—old millennial — has gone into coalition with the far—right freedom party. you can see if i switch the titles

of these countries to be presented to use, these parties are picking up in recent elections. france, netherlands, denmark and germany have also seen a jump in support for nationalist and anti—immigration parties. then there's hungary. in april, prime minister victor orban won a landslide victory — and his campaign focused on immigration. but his tough policies — including a new law criminalising lawyers and activists who help asylum seekers — are under scrutiny. today at the european parliament in strasbourg, members are considering disciplinary action against hungary. victor orban was there. translation: let's speak clearly. hungary is going to be condemned because the hungarian people have decided that this country is not going to be a country of migrants. with due respect, but with utmost

certainty, i reject that the pro—immigration and pro—migrant forces of the european union should threaten and blackmail and smear hungary and the hungarian people based on false allegations. with respect, i inform you that whatever decision you will make, hungary will not accede to this blackmailing. hungary will protect its borders, stop illegal migration. and hungary will defend its rights — if needed, even against you. while mr orban was accusing the eu of insulting hungary, greece's left—wing leader alexis tsipras descibed the far—right as the ‘monster of chauvanism'. and looked ahead to the threat he says it poses in next year's european parliamentary elections. translation: the european ideas should not be crushed between the distract

of neoliberalism and the horrible the horrible far—right. we have to give a decisive answer that the only way to safeguard the european unification is to upgrade democracy, justice and transparency through bold reforms. we should foster the perspective of a better europe. how you describe this all depends on who you ask. the economist categorises the divisions in europe as the flat—white sipping liberals in berlin against the nativists of northern italy and hungary. the brookings institute in washington suggests the rise of populism has opened the door to increased russian influence across europe. here's another persective from the bbc‘s adam fleming in strasbourg. all this demonstrates the fault lines that exist in the run—up to the elections for this place, the european parliament, which will take place

all across europe in may next year. on the one hand, you've got the countries that want to tell brussels to back off, that want to do their own thing when it comes to say migration and refugees. on the other hand, you've got the more pro—european liberal countries that think the only way this continent can face the challenges of this century is to stick together. between people like the hungarian prime minister versus people like the french president. stepping into all of this tomorrow morning, first thing, be the european commission president jean—claude juncker delivering his annual state of the union address. the theme is going to be a europe that protects security — and the centrepiece of that will be a new 10,000 strong armed eu borderforce. we will have much more coverage of current politics in europe and europe's border identity crisis here in the coming week. these are the latest satellite pictures of hurricane florence moving towards the east coast of the us. president trump is warning this

is "one of the worst storms to hit the east coast in many years". we know it's already generating winds of over 200kmph. well the president's in washington — the states facing this storm are in south carolina, north carolina and virginia. mandatory evacuations are already affecting more than a million people. as you can see from this graphic, florence is predicted to make landfall on thursday. no—one's waiting til then though. the us navy moving around 30 ships off the virginia coast and out to sea. they hope they can position themselves to better ride out the storm. here's mola lenghi speaking to me earlierfrom north carolina. we're in now wrightsville beach, north carolina.

it is in the southeastern portion of the state, about 30 minutes outside of wilmington. a slightly bigger city here in of carolina. by the looks of it today, it is just a beautiful beach day. but as you can see, only a handful of people out here behind me, typically this time of year you would see hundreds of people out here. it is not quite the peak season, is just after. but still you would normally see hundreds and hundreds of people out here enjoying what is still great weather. obviously, this is sort of illustrates that people are taking this storm seriously. many people are either, as we speak, putting sort of the final preparations, the last—minute preps on their homes, their businesses, their property, or they have already gotten out of town. a lot of folks are heating the mandatory evacuations that are in place here in wrightsville. it is not going into effect until tomorrow, but many people that we spoke with this morning, we saw this morning, were already trying to get out of town and beat the traffic, to kind of get settled a little further inland.

and a lot of these times, this is the biggest challenge — making sure that everybody listens to the advice and listens to the warnings. in this instance, it doesn't seem like that is going to be much of a problem. and, mola, in this part of the us, are buildings built to deal with hurricanes? some. newer buildings, newer homes, may have hurricane resistant elements to them. but this is an older part of the country. you still have hotels and you still may have some older homes along the coast that cannot withstand some of these things. in those instances, they may have some storm shutters, they may have some plywood that they've nailed up, some sandbags to help prevent some damage, but the sort of damage that we are talking about that is on its way here,

those sort of precautions, you know, they're probably not going to be able to withstand some of the wind and the storm surge that we are talking about seeing here. so yes, there are some that can withstand some of this stuff, but a lot of these buildings and a lot of the folks we have talked to out here have pointed to especially the beach homes that are oceanfront, that are on the beach, are pointing at them and saying you know, it is sad to say, but the worst fear is that a lot of these may not be here after the storm. obviously everybody hopes for the best, but they are also preparing for the worst out here. bbc weather's chris fawkes. we saw the cbs report understanding and sunshine with no wind. how quickly can intend to that to something more serious? very quickly. with some of the hurricanes that hit the caribbean last year we went from bad to full on hurricane force winds and the space of less than 2a hours. it can change quickly for sure. that is the classic calm

before the storm. show us how we're doing. this is hate it. let's animate this. this is florence at the moment. we've got the eye in the middle of the storm and we are expecting this to strengthen further in the next 2a hours with the winds picking up to 150 mph, gus up to 185 miles an hour. it is still on a track towards this kind of north carolina where it will probably make landfall. along the northern flank we will get the significant storm surge were the hurricane essentially raises up and just slams in land. we are talking about coastal inundation, damaging disru ptively. the peak strength mightjust ease a little bit before it makes landfall. but then we're also talking about 80 cm rain coming in land. you can see from the storm track actually, that the hurricane gets a little bit slower as it moves and land. it is going to kind of become slow—moving and that means the sum of the same areas are going to get hit by torrential downpour is. it's not like to have anywhere to go. clearly

not a meteorologist, but it doesn't look good news. a few things going on across this part of the world. we talked about this yesterday, isaac is borderline tropical storm hurricane. at the moment is a tropical storm but it is forecasted to restrict into a hurricane. that will make impact thursday night. the series have got to watch out for that. the area of cloud that you spotted a second ago, here it is. this looks likely to me to develop into a tropical depression then a truck. i quickly in the next day or so. truck. i quickly in the next day or so. that would then head towards the texas area. that is another area we have got to watch out for because you can see the storms here over the last few days on the ground is pretty saturated here. and it is zero we have got a typhoon. this storm system is pretty much the same strength as florence, really. it is forecasted to continue to work and a west, north westerly path which ta kes west, north westerly path which takes it just to

west, north westerly path which takes itjust to the northern tip, close enough to bring some big impact here for sure. but in the him main landfall from this typhoon is going to be across southern parts of china. it might get pretty close to hong kong. and you might have spotted just before that we have got another tropical storm that has developed in recent hours. that is going to be bringing soaking to these parts before the typhoon arrives in any case. all of the projected roots are pretty straight. do they not ever veer off course? they do. the things with hurricanes and typhoons is something called the subtropical ridge. it depends where that is. basically they tend to slide around the edge of this subtropical ridge. once they get around that then they can start re—curving. for example with florence, it is going west, northwest is at the moment. that will take a turn to the northwest as it starts to move around the edge of the periphery of this ridge. it is those ridges that really scare the systems. thank you very much. those of you watching in the philippines

and florida best of luck as you prepare for these storms. stay with us on outside source — still to come... we will talk about chinese authorities. —— chinese celebrities. china ranks one of it's most famous celebrities as bottom of a list of who's socially responsibile — fan bingbing is also missing — it's believed she has been detained. here in the uk. the labour party is promising to give more rights to workers, with special help for millions in the so—called ‘gig economy'. in a speech to the trades union congress in manchester, the shadow chancellor, john mcdonnell, said casual staff should be eligible for sick pay, maternity leave and other benefits. we'll extend full rights to all workers, so that includes so—called lyn b workers, entitling everyone in insecure work to sick pay, maternity rights and the right against unfair dismissal.

and that again will be from day one. and third... applause will properly resource hmrc. and yes, we will fine employers who break the rules so that people get the rights they are entitled to. and i say employers and they will, you know this, when they continue to employee legal loopholes or weak enforcement to duck their responsibility, we will close those legal loopholes and we will strengthen enforcement and we will work alongside the tuc to do that. this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. our lead story is... italy's right wing interior minister tells the bbc most migrants who arrive in the country will be deported. matteo salvini said italy's door is closed — except to refugees from war. let's pick up some of the main

stories from bbc world service. a bus has fallen into a valley, in southern india, killing at least 53 people. police say it was speeding and overcrowded when it veered off a narrow road. that's from bbc hindi. hundreds of thousands of catalan separatists have in barcelona to celebrate a day known as "diada". they hope it will boost catalonia's bid for secession — something it tried and failed to achieve last year. that's rom bbc world service radio in english. hundreds of gold roman coins have been discovered in a theatre basement in the italian town of como. experts say the value of the coins is ‘inestimable'. very interesting story from india 110w. india's supreme court has ruled that a female tiger blamed for killing the deaths of five people can be killed by forest rangers. tigers don't usually hunt people, but a string of deaths in the western state of maharashtra led rangers to fear

they were dealing with a man—eater. the court in delhi has now ruled they're allowed to shoot the animal. shalu yadau has the story. this is not the first time a case like this has come up in indian courts. last year a court in the western state that in order to kill a tiger was blamed for four baths. in the current case there is no evidence to suggest that the tigers in question is indeed responsible for the five deaths that have been blamed on her. animal right activists in the region ask for a softer approach and argued that the tigris should be tranquilised and relocated. but the court dismissed their appeal saying that it would not interfere if the forest guards are forced to kill the tigress. the forest officials have told the bbc that they will try their best to tranquilised and capture the tigers first. but the petitioners say they do not trust their capability and expertise to be able to do so. and they feel that the forest officials might end up shooting her. india is

home to one of the largest tiger appellations in the world. even as the numbers have been on the rise, so are the numbers have been on the rise, so are the cases of man and animal conflicts which are mainly because the human settlements keep getting closer to be animal reserves egos of rapid before station. bbc news. studio: outside source business. tesla has announced it's dropping two colours of its electric cars. tweet: tesla founder elon musk tweeted that it's to ‘simplify manufacturing'. if it's your think — you can request obsidian black & metallic silver — but you'll have to pay more. to be honest, quite glad to be talking about colours after the few weeks. here's kim gittleson. once more with tesla it is not good news. normally when you order it has what you would have a choice of seven colours. the company says it

is now cutting to love those colours from its regular line—up. you can pay more if you want. black metallic 01’ pay more if you want. black metallic or cilla metallic are the two options —— silver metallic are the two options they have taken away. the company is still struggling to hit his production targets. that is the key thing that has led to all this investor concern. it is what started the short selling war on wall street. that is all of these investors who are betting on tesla's downfall. and so far it seems that the company has not quite figured out what it needs to do to hit the target so that it can sell enough ca i’s target so that it can sell enough cars to make enough cash to repay some of the money that it has borrowed. presumably it has a very long—term business land and its message to investors is be patient, we are ahead of the game on this type of vehicle. in the long run, that will pay y°u vehicle. in the long run, that will pay you back. that has always been elon musk‘s plan, this is the company of the future not necessarily of the present, but when it comes to business and this is the key thing that companies often face which is that they might be find in

the long term, but in the short time if they do not have enough cash on hand to pay their bills, that is how they go bankrupt. whether or not they go bankrupt. whether or not they do have a vision for the future that might one day be realised. so when it comes to tesla we're still trying see if the company can't hate its ambitious production targets and repay those investors and then maybe stop its shares from sliding. we saw that tesla's shares are down nearly a quarter over the past year. what cannot be something that the company is celebrating as it is looking into the future. next we're going to talk about google. google is arguing against extending the right to be forgotten beyond europe. that's the ability individuals have to have out of date or embarassing personal information erased from internet searches. it's making it's case at the european court ofjustice — and says it finds itself in a catch 22. if it breaks the rules, the eu can fine it up to 4% of its annual global revnue. but google says following the rules could breach american freedom of speech protections — and that would mean punishments in the us.

here's more from data regulation expert michelle finck. actually right now you have a situation where a global tectonic such as google applied to the european union monday are doing business in the european union and apply to other jurisdictions business in the european union and apply to otherjurisdictions when they are doing business in those jurisdictions. if the european court ofjustice were to agree with the french data authority of this case, this would change the situation to the extent that those global tech companies would also have to apply the laws of the european union when doing business and other jurisdictions abroad. google maintains that it is sufficient for them to deal this on eu domains, essentially domains have extensions in the eu. french data protection authorities think that is not enough and this must be implemented globally. now it is up tojustice to decide which way should prevail. business door of best business

stories from europe and the us. we have another one now. bosnia is planning to build hundreds of dams to generate clean hydro—electricity — which it then plans to export. but opponents say the plans could damage the environment — and deter tourists. guy de launey, has this report. reporter: it is a powerful showcase for the natural beauty of bosnia. the river is a haven for wildlife and a magnet for tourists in search of the spectacular. and he has lived here all his life. he is a weaver died, taking visitors on fishing and rafting tors. and he says bosnia's waterways aid reconciliation, bringing together people from all the country's ethnic groups. but others see kilowatts and hard cash in the rivers. and if they get their way, bosnia will become the hyd ropower way, bosnia will become the hydropower capital of the balkan knees. the consequences would not be pretty. this is the damn that opened earlier this year and it is already

causing radical changes to the river. this is just causing radical changes to the river. this isjust one causing radical changes to the river. this is just one of around 300 hydropower projects plan for bosnia's rivers and waterways. it is a typical example of what is known asa mini a typical example of what is known as a mini hydroplane, that apply to anything which produces under ten megawatts of electricity. this one produces fewer than five and environmentalists say that makes very little sense. he has successfully rallied people to prevent plans to dam the river. he says other communities need to wake up says other communities need to wake up to the danger before their waterways meet the same fate as the domain of islam. guy de launey, bbc news on the rivers of bosnia. studio: i will see you in a couple of minutes. hello. it is our nightly look at the weather around the globe in the

picture behind me gives you a clue. of what we will be talking about. it is the middle of hurricane season and this time of the year, the subtropical atlantic can be swarming with powerful storms. we have three of them, three hurricanes in fact. onejust off of them, three hurricanes in fact. one just off the edge of the screen here with tracks. that is hurricane helene. this one here is hurricane isaac, potentially headed towards the caribbean. and this one is florence on a hurricane florence, eyeing up the east coast of the united states and florence could be a potentially very powerful storm indeed. at the moment it is still pretty stormy there around the eastern seaboard of the united states, but it is nothing compared toa states, but it is nothing compared to a florence could potentially unleash once distracts land. around about thursday time, possibly around the carolinas, that is at least the current projected path that the storms notoriously are very difficult to predict. it could curve away towards the north england little bit further south. it is so ha rd to little bit further south. it is so hard to predict where that i is going to go. it isjust around

hard to predict where that i is going to go. it is just around the eye where we get the most devastating weather. and heavy rain. this is just devastating weather. and heavy rain. this isjust one devastating weather. and heavy rain. this is just one computer result of where it may be heading. on tuesday across the caribbean, the rather is across the caribbean, the rather is a relatively quite apart from this western in here, but you can see hispaniola, puerto rico here, but they are off the bed edge of the screen. you can they are off the bed edge of the screen. you can see they are off the bed edge of the screen. you can see the beginning of hurricane isaac. this one is not expected to be quite as powerful as hurricane florence which isjust towards the north there, but still look what happens over the coming days. this is the forecast for the next three or four days, a belt across the island and remember some of the islands were so, so badly affected last year. this is not great news. for example dominica is in the line potentially being impacted in this storm. let's also mention very different in europe at the moment where we are getting a blast of some summertime heat. take a look at tuesday's weather forecast in paris. 30 celsius, in fact looks

like only steaks there'll be lots of too. we're just getting the heat in the uk. let's go back to a typhoon on the other side of the world around asia—pacific. this one has just been passing around blom and it is expected to head in the direction of the asian coast —— this one is around guam. towards the end of the week the weekend, around the philippines and maybe the northern of the philippines, possibly taiwan, maybe the coast of china. during this, just around the bar and that storm is going to take this truck and head in this general direction. i must stress some of the computer models are suggesting this could be a very powerful storm. there's a lot happening around the world. we will keep you posted everything. that is it for me. hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source. italy's right wing interior minister tells the bbc most migrants who arrive in the country will be deported. we cannot accept that migrants get

the coast and we have to pay for them. a monster storm is building off the coast of north carolina. one and a half million people have been told to get out of its path. north korea invites donald trump to a second leaders' summit. china ranks the country's celebrities based on how "socially responsible" they are. it's a pretty strange story and politics has got everything to do with it. russia has begun its largest military exercise since the fall of the soviet union. this is a show for the whole world, but in particular for america and its european allies.

sarah rainsford has more from moscow. i think the scale of this exercise shows it's definitely meant to impress. this is unprecedented in scale. the kremlin is talking about some 300,000 troops. there could be some 300,000 troops. there could be some creative accounting going on but it is certain that this is huge and it is meant to send a message i think to the west in particular. it's about showing russia's return asa it's about showing russia's return as a military strength. i think it is somewhat too about vladimir putin harking back to the days of old when the soviet union was a superpower. certainly he would like to see russia as a great power once again and military strength is a key part of that. in russia itself there is a question about the sense in spending so question about the sense in spending so much on a vast military exercise like this at a time when there is increasing social unease. people

particularly concerned about a contravention —— controversial reforms of the pension system. they are looking at the vast spending on this military exercise and there could be some upset at that but i think also there will be a significant portion of russians watching this and feeling proud that their military is strong border force to be reckoned with, and russia too is back again as a force to be reckoned with on the international stage. the exercises are called vostok—2018, vostok is russian for east and this is happening in siberia, around 5000km east of moscow. the russian military is keen for us to know exactly what's going on so it's releasing hundreds of pictures. we know hundreds of thousands of troops will be involved. russia is also saying there will be 36,000 tanks

and other military vehicles. the exercise will also involve over 1,000 military aircraft. the northern and pacific fleets of the russian navy have been mobilised. that's 80 ships. there will be joint exercises with the chinese as well — chinese helicopters and jets have been deployed along with over 3000 personnel. and to coincide with all of that xijinping and vladimir putin are meeting. they were at an economic forum in vladivostok. there was a photo op to show their partnership, on the side of the war games. here's vincent nee, a world fellow at yale university. china did not say why they joined this military exercise with russia, but china said it is in response to

various security threats. china didn't specify what kind of threat they are but according to russia they are but according to russia they are but according to russia they are extremely concerned about islamic extremism from central asia and obviously china has a real concern of extremism and separatism infar concern of extremism and separatism in far west part of the country. we have seen reports, so this is one of the reasons why china joined this military exercise with russia. and also at a time when washington is ramping up its pressure on china's trade with the country, and china obviously is very happy to join russia in response to washington, what they call hostile policies. did the chinese have a broader aspiration for a closer military alliance with russia ?|j aspiration for a closer military alliance with russia? i think it depends on what kind of alliance you are talking about and these days

country make theirs decisions not necessarily on ideological lines but more practical things. for example china and russia get extremely close to each other, especially after the trade war with washington. on russia's side, it is keen to work alongside china, especially when it is facing a lot of pressure from the west over russian interference into american elections and all sorts of accusations, so these countries are working closely to each other and this time around it is shown in a military style, but i think in the long term both washington and russia might be concerned about china's inroads into central asia as well as some old tic states. so we don't know what exactly will pan out between china and russia in the next few years to come, it really depends on what both countries do in the region and beyond. you have alluded to their trading relationship. we

know the leaders are meeting in the east of russia to talk about this. presumably with the tariffs coming from america there an extra reason for china to get close to russia. absolutely, and in fact president xi said realfriendship is shown in times of misfortune so china is working alongside russia in countering this western narrative that china is ripping off america. in this sense china is keen to play along and so is russia. thanks to vincent, good to have him back on. bob woodward's heavily trailed book on donald trump is out and he's been talking about it. the book details what he calls a "nervous breakdown of executive power". an advisor called gary cohn is quoted saying

"i can stop this. i'lljust take the paper off his desk" — a reference to the practice of removing documents from the president's desk to keep mr trump from signing them. mr cohn‘s put out a statement: he refuted the idea he was taking documents off the desk to undermine the president's agenda. bob woodward's repuation goes before him — his stories helped to bring down president nixon in the ‘70s and he's been chronicling washington ever since. here he is talking earlier. look at the operation of this white house and you have to say lets hope to god we don't have a crisis. people who work for him are worried that he will sign things or give orders that threaten the national

security or financial security of the country. that was bob woodward talking about president trump. anthony zurcher, in washington. some of the details were pretty striking, like things about the presidential campaign and it recou nts presidential campaign and it recounts a story about how trump was told a story around the time the access hollywood take dropped that he had zero chance of winning and should withdraw entirely and let mike pence run instead of him. we heard rumours of that story again and here it was corroborated. it paints an interesting picture of donald trump's time in office and some of the chaos and backbiting that went on within the white house staff but apparently like some

others tell all books, it is doing quite well. we heard from the publisher there's already been six reprints ordered, over a million sold, so when donald trump talks about it, i think he is only helping book sales. sorry, that clip ended abruptly, didn't it? remember, there is much more analysis on us politics on the website. those watching on bbc world news, i will see you tomorrow. on the bbc news channel, don't go anywhere please. getting my channels mixed up there! this some of the best news of the day — two crossing points between ethiopia and eritrea are open for the first time in over 20 years. you can see what it means. this is remarkable — remember ethiopia and eritrea have been at war since 1998, during which tens of thousands of people died.

for now, only the land crossings at zalambessa and burre have reopened. the reopening at burre is particularly significant. as this graphic shows, it gives landlocked ethiopia access to the sea. and this is one of a number of positive developments. they all come from these moments in july when the countries signed a peace deal and restored diplomatic and trade relations. since then there have been commercial flights between the countries and the reopening of embassies. peter okwoche, focus on africa.

i think this through —— represents an important milestone, however there are very significant challenges. this is taking place in the context of political reforms in ethiopia, but there is no movement in eritrea. the war, which was unnecessary and senseless, was fought over the border and now they are saying the border is not important and they haven't talked about it, which is a bit strange. it isa about it, which is a bit strange. it is a very important development, but the withdrawal of troops must be in the withdrawal of troops must be in the context of a clearly defined border, where both are saying they are not talking about the border. we have to learn which domestic jurisdiction ends where. which people in the borderlands will be nationalists of ethiopia,

nationalists of ethiopia, nationalists of ethiopia, nationalists of eritrea, and under which jurisdiction nationalists of eritrea, and under whichjurisdiction they nationalists of eritrea, and under which jurisdiction they would be administered in. let's switch to talking about brazilian politics. brazil's jailed former president, luiz inacio lula da silva, has abandoned his prison—cell campaign to reclaim his country s leadership, so that his running mate can stand for the presidency. fernando haddad will now be the worker's party's presidential candidate in next month's election. lula ruled as president for two terms and was one of the most popular leaders in modern brazilian history, but earlier this year he began a 12—yearjail term for money laundering and corruption. this presidential election has been dogged by controversy. i'm sure you saw these pictures from

last week. far—right candidate jair bolsonaro was stabbed during a campaign rally. he is recovering in hospital. camilla costa is from bbc news in brasil. can you tell us about the man who will be taking over instead of lula fustian marred definitely from lula who was a union leader and has a more popular background, fernando haddad is an academic, a lawyer, and has a more upper—class stand really in the workers party. many say this could be a challenge as well because many people in some of lula as micro biggest strongholds like in the north—east of brazil and centre west of brazil don't really know him.

fernando haddad has only participated in elections twice so he's not that well known. he had been training in the polls with 4%, but this number has jumped to 9% been training in the polls with 4%, but this number hasjumped to 9% in the latest poll on monday so now he has this big challenge of trying to get lula's vote to at least reach the second round of the elections. get lula's vote to at least reach the second round of the electionslj was the second round of the elections.” was mentioning the far right candidate being stabbed, do we know how he is and if he will contest the election? yes, according to the latest medical notes, jair bolsonaro is recovering well. he will be fed normally from today and will stay seven to ten days in the hospital, and he will be able to resume his campaign in person for at least another 20 days. so obviously it

remains to be seen how this will affect his campaign as well but so far he's been recovering well and interacting with some of his supporters on social media. camilla, thank you. talk to you soon. south korea's president moon has said he wants president trump and kim jong—un to make a "bold decision" to restart their stalled negotiations over denuclearisation. the last summit between these two men didn't achieve very much. yesterday the white house confirmed talks were under way for a second meeting after the north korean leader sent a letter to donald trump asking for one. laura bicker has more. it has been clear he wants to deal

with donald trump directly so this isa with donald trump directly so this is a letter pleading with him directly to consider a second summit, a warm letter by all accounts. in seoul that has been welcomed, especially as president move is on his way to the own yang next week for a three—day visit. in that visit he will hope to persuade north korea to make more of an effort to work with the us. he will then fly to new york to hopefully meet with donald trump on the sidelines of the un general assembly and persuade him to make a move. today president move that it will ta ke today president move that it will take a bold vision and a bold decision by both sides to achieve denuclearisation and he did admit the next step from north korea should be dismantling their nuclear weapons. but he also said the united states must create the right

conditions for that to happen. so what is he talking about? the real reason these talks have stalled is that these sides are coming from different starting points. north korea wants a peace treaty, it wants the end of the korean war, and security guarantees from the united states. the united states says it is not prepared to offer that until north korea decides to give up its arms and that's why we have reached this point. president moon said he will act as a mediator and next week he will hope to make some progress. and that progress may be partly powered by what happened at the weekend. this is a military parade in pyongyang at the weekend. plenty of hardware and soldiers — but crucially no interconintental ballistic missiles. president trump approved.

"this is a big and very positive statement from north korea. thank you to chairman kim. we will both prove everyone wrong!" and on the subject of these parades, i want to play this extraordinary account of a north korean who has taken part of them but has since defected. i'm going to finish with a story about this woman. this is fan bingbing. she's one of china's biggest film stars. this is a report by a chinese university ranking how socially responsible 100 celebrities are. it considers professional work, charitable actions and personal integrity and it's given fan bingbing a 0% rating. now, this university is run by the state and chinese state media is interested in the report. look at the turn out for a press conference about it — all the big state media companies turned up. there's another element to this story — fan bingbing has been missing for three months.

many are speculating that she's been detained. this was her last post on the social media site weibo. that was june 2nd. it's about helping children with heart disease. that sounds quite charitable — not enough to score points in this report. jackie chan, someone who's well known for donating to charity, also scores badly. in fact only nine celebrities including boy band tfboys did well. no danger of them upsetting the state — they've had hits with tracks with names like i love you china. i spoke to kerry allen who's a china media analyst at bbc monitoring, who's been following the story. the report said it was based on research and web scraping but doesn't go into detail about how they have broken down the report and where they got this information from on what makes a celebrity socially responsible and what makes somebody not and people were surprised that only nine people have passed this

test so celebrities like jackie chan, who's been internationally known for philanthropy work for yea rs, known for philanthropy work for years, people are surprised he is so far down the list. then you have for example fan bingbing who has zero and her fans example fan bingbing who has zero and herfans are example fan bingbing who has zero and her fans are saying this report is incredible. is there a correlation between celebrities who are most overtly enthusiastic about the chinese government and where they score? absolutely, yes. celebrities like tf boys for example have been very active in government initiatives and yes, they have really become the golden boys of chinese celebrity in recent years. but fan bingbing a number of months ago was accused by a well—known

director of evading her taxes and even though there's no grounds for this, her studios deny these allegations and no evidence has come out in state media saying she has committed this crime, that people are interpreting this report as she has been written off by the state. let's talk about fan bingbing, do we have any idea where she is? not at all. she has not posted on social media or been seen in public for months and people are concerned and have been asking state media what's happened to her. they have been leaving messages on her weibo account which is still active, saying please let us know you are ok but they've heard nothing and there's no indication she's been seen there's no indication she's been seenin there's no indication she's been seen in public or nobody knows where she is really. so people are concerned about this and there was a

state newspaper recently that included a report that said she was under control and being investigated. but this report was taken off—line so within hours of it going onto this website, the official newspaper, it was nowhere to be seen. posts have been sense —— censored that mention this original report. our main story today is the pressure exerted on politics by far right parties in sweden's election at the weekend, also in french and german politics, dutch politics, now bitterly‘s interior minister has said anyone coming to italy and looking to stay will be turned away u nless looking to stay will be turned away unless they are escaping war. i will see you tomorrow, goodbye. in the outlook for next week, we

have some warm air, potentially some hurricane air as well. we will take a look at that in a moment. what we are seeing right now is more typical atla ntic are seeing right now is more typical atlantic air and we have a weather front on the scene for wednesday moving southwards, the rain is becoming drawn out, and light in patches, moving away from southern parts of england through the morning. behind that more sunshine but a scattering of showers running across scotland, some show from northern ireland and north—west england. for the northern half of the uk temperatures will be similar to tuesday, further south it will be cooler. we have the cooler air coming in behind the band of cloud and light rain on that weather front, another weather system is moving in from the north—west which will bring rain overnight to scotla nd will bring rain overnight to scotland and northern ireland. that will peter out and get stuck across northern england and northern

ireland. not of it, sunshine and showers, cooler to the south. probably dry with sunshine at times and temperatures reaching 20 degrees in the south—east of england. we are seeing a weather front move southwards and stopping, then it will move northwards again during the evening and overnight and maybe come back southwards again as we move into friday. it does mean it's the northern half of the uk that sees most of the rain and probably more rain around during the day on friday before it becomes more patchy. again, to the south and south—east it will be dry with those temperatures reaching 20 celsius. some weather front on the scene and more waiting in the wings from the atla ntic to more waiting in the wings from the atlantic to complicate the forecast for this weekend. mainly again in northern ireland we will have the thickest cloud on saturday, somewhat

drier and brighter weather to the south of the uk where there will be sunshine. most of england and wales are likely to be dry but we may see rain coming towards wales from the atla ntic rain coming towards wales from the atlantic later in the day. that should then push eastwards overnight and into sunday, but how quickly and how extensive that rain will beat is a little uncertain at the moment. we will see sunshine following down from the and showers as the air becomes cooler. let's look at the outlook for next week and we need to look at the jet stream. at the moment a strong jet stream across the atlantic. we look further ahead and further across, we can see it bottling and moving northwards. what you find with this sort of pattern, you find with this sort of pattern, you draw down colder air in mid atlantic, warmer air across the uk. in the colder air you have lower pressure, in the warmer air high pressure, in the warmer air high pressure in the near continent. in

between we are drawing up some rain and there may be leftovers of hurricane helene. there will be some sunshine, it is probably going to be warmer than it has been the warmest weather will be more towards the south and east of the uk where there isa south and east of the uk where there is a good chance it will stay dry into next week and the temperatures can reach the mid—20s. goodbye. tonight at ten... the home office under sustained attack for the way it handles police funding in england and wales. as the official pay recommendation is rejected by ministers, and forces struggle with budget cuts, britain's most senior officer speaks out. how can i recruit? how can i retain? and how can i make my officers and staff feel that i really value them because i think this is a punch on the nose.

but the home secretary, speaking at the same conference, said he would be fighting for more resources for the police. i will continue to fight on the police's behalf so that you have the resources that you need to do yourjobs effectively. we'll have more details, as an official report accuses the home office of being ‘ineffective and detached‘. also tonight... labour says it would give millions of casual workers
