hello, i'm kasia madera, this is outside source. with six months to go until brexit, the british prime ministerjoins eu leaders for a summit in austria. brussels though warns that some of her plans still need some work. the irish question, the framework for economic operation, the uk's proposals will need to be reworked. —— economic cooperation. the woman who's accused donald trump's supreme court nominee of sexual assault says she won't testify. christine blazey ford says she wants the fbi to investigate the allegations first. president trump visits the area hit by hurricane forence to see the damage the storm has caused. and we look at the ambitious plan to clear up the rubbish floating around space. that's all coming up on outside source. hello, and welcome.

theresa may has told european leaders not to demand the unacceptable when neogitating terms for britain's withdrawal from the eu. mrs may told a summit in the austrian city of salzburg that she'd compromised enough, and now the eu must shift its stance on brexit. this might not have been what they wanted to hear. the two sides remain at odds over issues such as the irish border and the parameters for a future economic relationship. christian fraser is in salzburg for the summit. tonight, the european union meet us democrats 28, and it is an invaluable moment for theresa may to put her case across on what she wa nts put her case across on what she wants from the brexit negotiation. she is looking to the october summit which isjust she is looking to the october summit which is just around the corner, and possibly another november summit, a special summit on brexit. not many

opportunities now to get this deal over the line. we do sometimes obsessin over the line. we do sometimes obsess in britain over brexit, and it is vitally important to the uk, just as important as it is to the eu. but there is one issue which accesses the european leaders, which is migration. you look at the problems between the european commission and hungary, or between italy and france, and that at the moment is seen through european eyes as the existential threat to the eu. so the bulk of a conversation this evening will be about migration. theresa may will getjust evening will be about migration. theresa may will get just ten minutes over coffee to put her case across. and before the summit, before she arrived here in salzburg, she wrote a piece for a german newspaper in which she said that neither side should be making unacceptable demands of the other. so just as unacceptable demands of the other. sojust as britain now unacceptable demands of the other. so just as britain now understands that it cannot have all the benefits of eu membership without being a member of the club, so the eu could not make demands of the uk where

there would be external border controls within british borders. so thatis controls within british borders. so that is the standoff at the moment. the european union wants this backstop, this insurance policy that northern ireland would remain in the customs union in the worst—case scenario. today, michel barnier put forward some technical solutions, we can have some checks and controls. he said the british border, that is not to the satisfaction of the british government, and this is what theresa may had to say on her way into the dinner. i'm pleased to be here at this council insults birk wearer we'll be addressing a number of issues for the future of europe. at dinner this evening i will be the chequers white paper —— insults burke. i believe this is the right proposal because it maintains... it is the only negotiable plan on the table which delivers no hard border in northern ireland, and also

delivers on the vote of the british people. and if we are going to achieve a sensible conclusion, just as the uk has evolved his position, the eu will need to evolve its position, as well, which i'm confident that we can agree a deal thatis confident that we can agree a deal that is right for both parties. we will also be talking about migration, and i will be confirming that this is a challenge for us all, and the uk will remain, clearly wanting to work with others to deal with the issue of illegal migration, and we will discuss tomorrow the terms of security, i will be up —— able to update my leaders on... two briefings on brexit. are you encouraged by michel barnier‘s suggestion yesterday —— yesterday that the does not need to be a northern border? that sound like a bit of a compromise, is that positive for you? i welcome the fact that michel barnier is recognising the need to find a new solution,

because the original proposal put forward by the european commission was acceptable to us. we have always recognised there are unique circumstances that apply to northern ireland, like checks for agricultural projects. what we cannot accept is seeing northern ireland carved away from the uk customs territory because regardless of where the checks will be, what that would mean is that it would be a constitutional and —— chose to our constitutional and economic integrity. already the dup in northern ireland, whose votes theresa may depends on, have dismissed the michel barnier plan, which tells you the difficulties theresa may has back at home. there certainly has been warmer tones from european leaders in recent youth —— weeks, and we have heard that from the man who is hosting the summit here in austria, the prime minister, who has had very positive things to

say about how he wants to move the negotiation in the right direction. and they have welcomed the chequers plan. they see it as an opening position from the uk, and there are certainly some issues in it they would very much disagree with notably splitting goods from services. but they will certainly talk about that in the round tomorrow when they are just 27, but they will also have to talk about what sort of political declaration there will be two go hand—in—hand with the withdrawal agreement. some months ago, the british side said it wa nted months ago, the british side said it wanted quite a lot of detail in that because they note the other side of brexit, they will not have as much leverage as they have now. but the difficulty for theresa may is that if there is too much in it, it may alienate the brexiteers because they may see some of the sovereignty disappearing. if there is too little in itand disappearing. if there is too little in it and the uk is kept at the arm's—length, it will have difficulty getting it passed the

remainders. they must decide how much they put in the direct this declaration, and how they can leave it as vague as possible to throat theresa may a lifeline ahead of her party conference in a week's time. donald tosca did talk about the chequers plan, but he clearly his reservations. some of prime minister may‘s proposals from chequers indicates the positive evolution in the uk's approach, as well as a will to minimise the negative affect of brexit. by this, i mean, among other things, the readiness to co—operate in the area of security and foreign—policy. on other issues, such as the irish question, or the framework for economic cooperation, the uk's proposals will need to be reworked. donald tosca speaking

earlier, and it did signal that there will be a special brexit summit in april, though they have not set the date for that as you via. the talks incidentally will resume, as well, next week. now who will give a little bit? will be michel barnier, or will it be theresa may? who is making the biggest miscalculation? if they cannot get off the positions they are in at the moment, then surely we are in at the moment, then surely we are headed for a standoff and perhaps another crisis. i spoke to david has important, the chief political correspondent for politico in brussels, and he was telling me that really at the moment, it is not the opportune time for either of them to blink. this may be salzburg, them to blink. this may be salzburg, the city of mature, but they're not ready to face the music. that will have to wait until after the tory conference next month. so they have a deal in sight, but they must continue doing this dance. michel barnier‘s redlines matter more for the withdrawal treaty. what matters more for theresa may and her red lines is the future relationship,

which does not fully get negotiated until after brexit after next march. so if they hold on tight and do not let their critics knock them off course, they may be on track for a deal. so today, michel barnier said we could maybe take some of the heat off the northern ireland issue. in a worst—case area —— scenario, what we can implant is some checks and controls between great britain and northern ireland. but a few months ago, there were saying the technical solutions were magical thinking. now he is move onto the ground of the brexiteers? he likes magical thinking if it will magically convince the uk to accept the eu's version of this backstop, which effectively gives northern ireland under eu rules and the customs union. that would still happen, but he describes in a way that hopefully goes down with a lot of sugar and feels a lot more like nothing dramatic is happening. that's the phrase he loves. if you can use those technical quirks to convince eve ryo ne those technical quirks to convince everyone this is not a big deal, and

eve ryo ne everyone this is not a big deal, and everyone agrees we hope the backstop never gets used, then maybe they can get to this last stage into the withdrawal treaty, and jump to the point that the uk wants to be yet, which is talking about the future. will the brexiteers not say that we can't have these external border controls within our own borders? why not just use controls within our own borders? why notjust use of single solutions between northern ireland and republic? because you have mark carney, the head of the bank of england, warning of economic catastrophe in the case of no deal. the fears it has if there is no backstop, guaranteeing no one wants to see the backstop used. if you think about it, he is right, both sides really need a deal, both sides wa nt sides really need a deal, both sides want a deal. what they are working towards is finding various ways to keep the critics quiet until they get to that moment in october or november and sign altogether. david's book to be earlier. the british government spent a lot of time over the summer touring to various capitals, trying to get the

leaders to see beyond the rules based association that the commission that michel barnier has been leading. again there will be an attempt tonight in this ten minute speech that theresa may makes to the other 27 leaders that they have to find some compromise, they have to move from their position at the moment. we will see perhaps that moment. we will see perhaps that moment after the summit when we hear the press conferences, whether they have moved any. but don't hold your breath. thanks to christian and his guest there, speaking to us from salzburg. its been five days since hurricane florence made landfall just outside willmington in north carolina. today us president donald trump visited the area to see for himself the immense damage the storm has caused. the president arrived via air force one just a few hours ago. he was greeted by north carolina governor roy cooper, before meeting with other officials and giving a brief press co nfe re nce . hurricane florence was one of the most powerful storms ever to hit the carolinas, one of the most powerful

and devastating storms ever to hit our country. to the families who have lost loved ones, america grieves with you. and our hearts breakfor you. god bless you, we will never forget your loss, we will never leave your side, we are with you all the way. and to all those impacted by this terrible storm, our entire american family is with you and ready to help, and you will recover. the president then travelled to new bern, one of the communities hardest hit in the state. here he is meeting with residents, and handing out burgers, and food parcels as well, to locals. while the storm has passed, the threat hasn t. tens of thousands of homes and roads remain underwater, and swollen rivers pose risk

of more flooding. lets take a look at some of the numbers. more than 15,000 people remain in shelters and more than 200,000 people are without power across north carolina. florence has killed at least 37 people in north and south carolina, including two mental health patients, who drowned after a van they were in crashed. one of the biggest threats is the rising river levels. at least 16 rivers are at major flood stage, with three others set to crest in the coming days in north carolina. here's the cape fear river, which is expected to crest at 19 metres, four times its normal height. residents living within the one—mile zone, may need to be evacuated. there have also been some dramatic rescues taking place. this is a man and his dog who were

spotted by the us coast guard, they we re spotted by the us coast guard, they were stranded on the roof of the building. the us coast guard performed a very daring rescue operation to hoist the pair to safety. another rescue operation rescued from the severe flooding, the rising water which is very dangerous. later a pregnant mother with her two children. the family had been holding onto trees in flooded water for about four hours before being found. this is from sunday. laura trevelyan has been covering the storm for us. just last week, she was in willimington, and now she's watching the developments from washington. laura, we have seen donald trump hana gaffers —— food parcels and offering support? that's right, and he has very much been playing the role of consoler in chief today,

hugging a little boy who asked him for a hug. that is in stark contrast to the present‘s demeanour last week when he was questioning the number of people who were killed in puerto rico, the us territory by hurricane maria last year. he was clustering —— questioning whether it was really 3000 people who died, and his greatest —— administration was criticised for his response. but it isa criticised for his response. but it is a very different story in north carolina, where it seems officials on the local and federal level have learned from the experience of hurricane harvey last year in houston, and the response has been as efficient as it can be. when i was there, people were praising the fa ct was there, people were praising the fact that they were being told to evacuate, the officials seem to be doing all they could. the president there on the ground, in a state that he wanted the presidential election, so it is somewhere he feels co mforta ble. so it is somewhere he feels comfortable. these are his people, definitely being consoling and handing out food parcels, seeming to strike the cut —— the kind of know

that people wanted after going through this terrible catastrophe. as you are saying, is not over yet because some of the rivers are still about it crests further. and even though you are saying that this was a well organised event well around, it shows how damaging florence was. the sad news that two mental health patients had drowned ? the sad news that two mental health patients had drowned? the death toll stands at 37 at the moment, and in south carolina, two women who had been transported to a mental health facility drowned. most of the deaths have come from flooding which is what happens in the aftermath of slow—moving storms like this one. and when we drove to the airport in raleigh on saturday, the rains were literally flying behind us, flash flooding. that happens without any warning, went rivers and creeks suddenly break their banks. and when you see this kind of rainfall, nearly three feet in some places, it is extremely frightening, and things can change in a heartbeat. that is

why people have been told to stay off the roads and not to go back to their homes if they are in evacuation areas, because this threat from flooding still continues. people think of threat from hurricanes comes from the winds. this was a category one hurricane, we experienced winds of over 100 mph. but hurricane, we experienced winds of over100 mph. but it hurricane, we experienced winds of over 100 mph. but it is the flooding thatis over 100 mph. but it is the flooding that is catastrophic. thank you so much as always, laura. stay with us on outside source, still to come. progress on closing missile testing sites in talks between the two koreas at a summit in the north. two people have died as storm ali brings wind gusts of almost 100 miles per hour across parts of the uk, toppling trees, bringing down power lines, and sending debris flying through the air. our correspondent emma vardy sent us this report from belfast. police received reports of a caravan

blown in to the beach. the body of a woman in her 50s was recovered, believed to be a tourist visiting from switzerland who had been asleep inside. powerful winds wrenched this cruise ship from its moorings in scotland. the nautica became detached from the dock and had to be secured at sea by tugs. no one on board was injured. the strong winds ravaged northern ireland. a man was killed by a falling tree, and another injured. parks and playgrounds were closed as branches fell on cars and houses, with the worst of the storm now believed to have passed, thick clear up operation is well under way. emma vardy, bbc news, belfast. this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. our lead story. with six months to go until brexit, the british prime ministerjoins eu leaders for a summit in austria. some of the other stories we're

working on here in the bbc newsroom. a californian surgeon and his girlfriend have been charged with two sexual assaults, with a warning there could be "hundreds" more victims. grant william robishow and cerissa riley allegedly attacked two women they'd met at a bar and restaurant in 2016. prosecutors told the bbc that thousands of videos of potential victims were on the defendants‘ phones. that's on the bbc world service. the airline cathay pacific has had to send a new plane back to the paint shop after the compa ny‘s name was spelled incorrectly on it. eagle—eyed travellers spotted the mistake at hong kong international airport and contacted the airline. that's on bbc chinese. the american children's tv show, sesame street, has dismissed claims by a former writer, that its characters bert and ernie are a gay couple. mark salzman said he had always envisaged the co—habiting pair to be

in a loving relationship. but the show said the duo were just best friends. let's turn to india. india's government has moved to ban instant divorce, the practise where muslim men could end their marriage simply by saying the word "talaq" three times, meaning "you are divorced" in arabic. india's cabinet approved an executive order to bring into forces this legislation making it illegalfor a man to pronounce talaq on his wife by words "either spoken or written or in electronic form". that's after some cases in which wives had been divorecd by text message, or whatsapp. offenders could now face three years injail. devina gupta reports from india's capital, new delhi. india's home to the world's third largest muslim population,

and instant divorce has been at the centre of gender rights fights here. in august 2017, india's top court had banned the practise where a man can divorce his wife by simply uttering divorce out aloud three times. the court the court had asked the parliament to frame laws to punish the offenders, but the political leaders appear to have reached a consensus so far. so today, the hindu nationalist party released an executive order making instant divorce a punishable offence with imprisonment up to three years, and a fine for the offenders. the opposition party is claiming that this is just a vote—buying tactic where the hindu nationalist party wants to vie women voters from the muslim community for the next general elections, which are due in 2019. by the government says they are fighting a gender rights fight on behalf of those who have been marginalised in the muslim community. us bring you up—to—date with some

outside source business news. the chief executive of denmark's danske bank has resigned in the wake of a money—laundering scandal involving its estonian operation. thomas borgen stepped down following an investigation into payments of about ?200bn through its estonian branch. our correspondent andrew walker says investigators have had their work cut out. there's been an investigation commissioned from a firm of lawyers by the bank, a danish firm of lawyers, which was absolutely scathing in its assessment of the anti—money—laundering controls that were in effect at the estonian operation. it described them as being an adequate, insufficient. and it concluded that it had actually broken the law obligations, and that some members of staff at the operation, mostly people who have subsequently left, they had actually been colluding in money—laundering.

the chinese premier says the world must choose between protectionism and globalisation. li kee—chiang was speaking at the world economic forum in tianjin, after china confirmed that it would retaliate against washington's latest tariffs on chinese imports. he said there was a lot at stake. translation: it is indeed necessary to co—operate fairly and maintain the press is printable rules of multilateralism and free trade. because no matter how much these rules need to improve, but they offer us is inclusivity. it is progress for human civilization. if there are problems, we should resolve them through negotiation. the unilateral action does not stand a chance in resolving problems. that's led to some swift reaction in the us, especially in states targetted by the chinese tariffs. here's congressman todd rokita from indiana. i'm very appreciative and proud that we have an administration, a president that is willing to stand up to cheaters and stealers.

that's not right to teach our children, and we shouldn't account for itjust to make a quick and easy buck. they're known as "pot stocks", namely shares in companies producing legal marijuana. they've been soaring in the us today, powered by an astonishing rise in the share price of a canadian producer called tilray. their share price jumped by an astonishing 90% in just one day. samira hussain is in new york. just talk us through this, these are literally pop stocks? marijuana or cannabis companies have been really ona cannabis companies have been really on a terribly late, and that one particular canadian company that you mentioned, tilray, has jumped particular canadian company that you mentioned, tilray, hasjumped up 90% in trading today. in fact, they had to stop trading because the gains we re to stop trading because the gains were just so massive.

to stop trading because the gains werejust so massive. so to stop trading because the gains were just so massive. so why is that happening? one of the reasons is that the us drug enforcement agency has given tilray the permission to doa has given tilray the permission to do a cannabis drug test, a medical test in the state of california. so that was a really big winner. also we have heard that the ceo of this company has been talking to several media outlets and has said that cannabis companies are what you want to watch, especially pharmaceutical companies. they need to watch this because it could be a really good option for painkillers. and as you know, it is a really big issue, this rapid use of these opioid painkillers. lots of excitement. thank you for talking to us. what's more is always coming up shortly. goodbye for now. hello, the rain may have stopped

falling across the carolinas, but there are huge amounts of rainfall we see from florence will continue to feed into the river systems in the coming days and weeks. this is footage of north carolina, giving you the and idea of the extent of the flooding. we are not out of the woods yet, even though the heaviest of the rain has moved away from the eastern seaboard. also keeping an eye on what's happening in the great la kes, eye on what's happening in the great lakes, northern parts of the midwest and the planes. we have a stationary front that's not going anywhere fast, depositing lots of rain over the next few days, and thunderstorms all falling onto already saturated ground. furtherflooding all falling onto already saturated ground. further flooding is all falling onto already saturated ground. furtherflooding is likely in this part of the us. it's been a dividing line, some frosty night in canada, further snow over the northern rockies. heading further south, some warm conditions. in terms of fair and tight as fahrenheit, temperatures 10—15d higher than normal. all that is left

of the former typhoon is tropical moisture, that will continue to enhance the rainfall over parts of china over the next few days, particularly for northern and eastern parts of china, stretching intojapan, bringing wet eastern parts of china, stretching into japan, bringing wet weather for a few days. that weather starts to ease away from thailand, but affecting parts in me and mark, further have and thundery showers, likely to hamper relief efforts. we could have further heavy rain towards the weekend. we have very heavy rain in the bay of bengal pushing its way towards the likes of the coastal areas of west bengal. rough seas do the bay of bengal as —— the rain pushes its way. warnings in place for europe because of the wet and windy weather across the british isles, stretching into scandinavia. some very disturbed weather potentially for denmark to end the week. further heavy showers across italy, but in between, a lot

of dry weather with some sunshine, and still some high temperatures. but not for long, because this front that we have across the british isles on thursday will be gradually sinking its way across europe, and behind that we have some fresher conditions. but it is a very active front on thursday, looking at the uk, we have heavy outbreaks of rain on thursday, still some very strong and gusty winds, not quite as strong as the ones we saw on wednesday, but still a very unsettled day, heavy rainfor still a very unsettled day, heavy rain for the likes of northern england down into wales. this gives you an idea of the gusts through the afternoon. a blustery day, sunny spells and showers across northern ireland and scotland. maybe send some “— ireland and scotland. maybe send some —— some sunshine in the northeast, that's all for me. hello, i'm kasia madera, this is outside source. with six months to go until brexit, the british prime ministerjoins eu leaders for a summit in austria. brussels though warns that some of her plans still need some work. the irish question or the framework

for economic cooperation, the uk's proposals will need to be reworked. the woman who's accused donald trump's supreme court nominee of sexual assault says she won't testify. christine blasey ford says she wants the fbi to investigate the allegations first. progress on closing missile testing sites in talks between the two koreas. threre's even confirmation of plans for a joint olympic bid. and we look at the ambitious plan to clear up the rubbish floating around space. that's all coming up on outside source. let's turn to the us and the controversy at the supreme court. the woman who has accused supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh of physical

and sexual assault has been given a deadline of 10am friday to say whether she plans to give evidence to the senatejudiciary committee on monday. christine blasey ford has said she wants the fbi to establish the facts of the case before she's prepared to appear. here's president trump talking about the situation today. if she shows up and makes a credible showing, that will be very interesting and we will have to make a decision. but i can only say this, he is such an outstanding man, it's very hard for me to imagine that anything happened. republican senators have rejected professor ford's appeal to the fbi. if she doesn't come... well, she's got a chance to come. we run the committee, not her lawyer, not the democrats. meanwhile, democrats have criticised the whole situation. guess who's perpetuating all of these kinds of actions?

it's the men in this country, and i just want to say to the men in this country, just shut up and step up! do the right thing for a change. judge kavanaugh has denied the allegations. yesterday, his legal team published this letter in which a supposed witness to the assault denies seeing anything. meanwhile, more than 800 alumnae of the school that christine ford graduated from have signed an online letter supporting her decision to come forward. why is there so much interest in this? well, in november, americans will vote in the midterm elections, which could see the democrats wrestle back control of the senate. if this happens before judge kavanaugh is sworn in, it would deal a serious blow to the president's efforts to install more conservatives on the supreme court. anthony zurcher is in washington. there is a bit of a time pressure on republicans in the senate

and the administration to get this taken care of quickly. the longer it drags on, if it goes into the midterms, then there can be problems confirming, political problems at the very least if the american public says they want a democratic senate and republicans try to confirm him before they take office in january. that is getting ahead of ourselves. right now, the question is whether there is going to be a hearing with ms ford on monday or not. the latest information is that it's not likely, although there is a letter from senator chuck grassley, the chairman of thejudiciary committee, saying they are willing to reach out to her and do an interview in whatever fashion that she would like, open or closed, in person or in california. the question is whether she would take them up on that offer or hold out for a further investigation. right now, it looks like republicans do not want to do any further investigation. they say this is her once chance. and she faces that deadline as well.

a summit between the leaders of north and south korea has yield some progress on the crucial issue of de—nuclearisation. south korea's president, moonjae—in, says north korea will shut a key missile test site in the presence of international observers. and he says the leader kim jong—un is willing to go a step further and close his country's only known nuclear site. but there's a condition, north korea will only do this if the us takes reciprocal action. here's president moon making the announcement during a three—day summit in pyongyang. it has been a really busy day. this is the leaders about the sign of that agreement. the leaders held a joint lunch today. and south korea's first lady was even invited to watch performances by north korean children. this is a key moment, the two leaders signing an agreement aimed at improving relations between the two countries. that will include plans to launch a joint bid to co—host

the 2032 summer olympics. crucially, though, president moon says they've agreed on a way to achieve denuclearisation. kim jong—un has called this a leap forward towards military peace on the peninsula. he then teased a potential historic fourth meeting, this time in seoul. translation: we have a military agreement to finish the decades of the deplorable and tragic history of confrontation and agreed on active joint efforts coming forward to rid the korean peninsula of nuclear weapons and nuclear threats. lots of other big developments in this third meeting of the year. the two countries have vowed to cease hostile acts and "remove all threats that can cause war from the entire korean peninsula". the focus is the heavily militarised dmz zone,

which separates north and south. as part of their pledge, they're stopping military drills and estabilishing a buffer zone to prevent accidental clashes. president moonjae—in says the era of no war has started. translation: north korea is committed to permanently close down the engine testing and missile launching site under the attendance of a relevant expert as part of the agreement. monitoring groups believe north korea has been using tongchang—ri for years as its main satellite launch facility. satellite images suggest the site is in the process of being destroyed. and, crucially, today's declaration will allow inspectors to verify the process. you may remember north korea already destroyed its main nuclear testing sites. the images were dramatic. let's just have a look.

this was injune, and an apparent gesture ahead of kim jong—un's historic meeting with president trump. but the issue here is verifying what we're actually seeing. this was the reaction at the time of one foreign correspondent who was invited to see the explosion. it was pretty surreal, so north korea invited in a small group ofjournalists and took us on a train about 12 hours up to the nuclear test site, which is in a remote mountainous region of north korea. and they blew the thing up. they basically blew up three test tunnels, the three remaining test tunnels at the site. they were laced with explosives. they walked us in front of the doors of these tunnels to show us, then they blew it up and then they brought us back and said, "see with your own eyes that we have done this. we want to be transparent." the only problem is that the only people there were journalists. we're not experts on what it takes to shut down a nuclear site. that shows why it is so important to

have inspectors this time around. going back to this week's summit, it will boost south korea's role as a mediator between the us and the north. observers point out that there's been little progress on denuclearisation since that historic meetign between kim jong—un and donald trump. and headlines like this in the new york times also make the point, "north korea 5 trump—era strategy: keep making a—bombs, but quietly". well, today, president trump was quick to tweet his support. "kim jong—un has agreed to permanently dismantle a test site so has this latest summit been a success? laura bicker gives us the perspective from seoul. i think in terms of what president moon had to do, yes. i think in terms of denuclearisation, no. i think the us had demanded to get a list of north korea's weapons and they want a list of sites,

they want to see the weapons moving out of the country. that is not happening. but we have managed to get some kind of detail on paper, which all the other summits had failed to do. north korea has agreed, and this is the most important point, to allow in experts. they are calling them experts from foreign countries. now, president trump has interpreted that as inspectors, to see the dismantling of one of their missile launch sites, so this is in the north of the country. don't forget you can get much more detail on our top stories on our website. including the latest on brexit. former pakistani prime minister nawaz sharif has been released from jail after a court suspended the prison sentence for corruption he was given injuly. he left the court in a motorcade after his ten—year sentence was suspended, as were those

of his daughter and son—in—law. the ruling comes almost two months after sharif‘s party lost a general election to the party of this man, pakistan's new prime minister imran khan. a senior member of sharif‘s pakistan muslim league spoke after the ruling. translation: the decision of the national accountability bureau, that was based on revenge, has been suspended. this trial is important in the sense that during this trial, even a blind person in pakistan could see that these cases were not based on the constitution nor on any law. they were only based on revenge. for more on this alleged act of revenge, here's secunder kermani in islamabad. again, nawaz sharif has divided opinion in pakistan. his allies say the real reason he was convicted is because he had fallen out with pakistan's powerful military and they wanted to ensure he could not take part

in this summer's elections. the military, though, denied that and his political rivals, including the current prime minister imran khan, had welcomed the conviction as a victory for accountability. now, nawaz sharif is being released on bail and it is clearly a blow for the prosecution case against him, but it is worth clarifying that his sentence isjust being suspended whilst his appeal against his conviction is being heard. he has not yet been fully exonerated. he still faces further legal proceedings. the political drama surrounding the sharif family looks set to continue. fifa says it's looking into allegations of systemic corruption in algerian football at the highest level of the game after a three—year investigation by the bbc. match—fixers, referees, club chairmen, former players and a former member of the algerian fa have told bbc arabic that bribery is being used to fix games on a weekly basis in the second half

of each season. philippe auclair reports. for three football seasons, bbc arabic has been speaking to referees, players, club chairman, a former member of the algerian fa and two match mixers known as intermediaries in algeria. the following day by day description of how bribery works across the top two divisions in algeria is based on the testimonies. we have chosen to hide the identities of the teams and individuals our whistle—blowers say for the safety of sources. all the action happens for february when the points are lined up and the better result of relegation before the end of the season. at every level, there are powerful

people trying to manipulate the results of everything. i am an intermediary and i have the contacts with certain teams and referees that they may need to make it work. you cannot always make a team win, but you can make one of them lose. the calls start coming in from other teams who want to speak with the club presidents and referees i am connected with. other intermediaries work with players directly. someone wants me to negotiate for a team who has a good number of points to lose, so that their team can avoid entering the relegation zone. we were always meeting in out—of—the—way places. we are wel—known people, so we meet more our of the way caf s on the outskirts of town. now the deal is on, i made my calls going to make contacts, the referees and the chairmen. there is a sort of price list, the price is as high as 8 million dinars or 68,000 us dollars.

that is for a win. just a penalty kick in the first division will cost 2 million dinars, that is $17,000. and it may not even work. and it does not stop there, it reaches into the youth divisions. i try to avoid it for years, but my career was going nowhere. right now, it seems to me like being open to corruption is just an expected extension of my role as a referee. i did not get the same opportunities if i am not willing to play along with it, and frankly, i am struggling to support my family on the wages alone. the fans think it's real, but the chairman know better. they are the ones involved in this particular bribery. my team has done well. we can still be in a good position at the end of the season. i cannot afford to lose. i want to run for a position in the parliament wants this season is over. this isjust part of my campaign. the fifa spokesperson told bbc they have a 0—tolerance policy on match fixing and that they are looking into the matter and gathering

additional information. following the findings our investigation. the president of the algerian football federation known as faf has told bbc that cleaning up football is one of the priorities of the current management team. they added that it is faf‘s duty to check the veracity of the made by anonymous witnesses. that report from philippe auclair, who's been speaking more about his investigation into corruption in algerian football. i have never come across something of such magnitude, which infected really the game, at the top level of the game, to such an extent. algerian football is very, very, very sick, and i think that if one thing that the investigation is showing is that it is notjust at the top levels, but there are far too many people involved in what is going on. just basically fixing the results of games. not of all the games, but of some very important ones. a team of women are about to embark on a gruelling

expedition to the south pole. they'll be following the route made famous by the ill—fated expedition of captain scott in 1910. this team is different, comprised of five women each born in a different decade. right now, they're in training in the north of scotland. tim muffett went to meet them. jan is approaching her 74th birthday. and one of the world's toughest challenges. before my husband died, he died at 47 of cancer, my hobbies were reading and classical music, and after he died, i wanted to be active as well. jan's rowed the atlantic, she has been to the north pole, and she wants to find out how women of different ages react to the same extreme conditions by leading the polar maidens to the south pole. what is the difference between the ages how you recover? how we recover emotionally? done with men and athletes.

but not much being done with women. today's session is near inverness. it is particularly hard pulling on sand, but i guess this might give us a good idea of snow conditions. tanvee is 23, 50 years younger than jan. how hard are you finding the training? i think for me it is hard. being young, we have the advantage to adapt fast physically. oxygen levels in the blood will be measured throughout the expedition. to see what effects age has on the fitness and recovery rate in extremely cold conditions. culturally, we are quite ageist, i think and expect less of people as they get older. often, older people have more resilience and ability to just keep going when the going gets really tough. as one of the older

memeber of the group, how are you getting on with the younger members? i think giving them a run for for their money. i'm hoping that age is no barrier. i'm hoping that the difference in blood sugar levels or maybe the oxygen levels will not be too different. my grandfather was tom crane, and he went to the antarctic three times. on the second expedition with scott, he was sent back 150 miles from the pole. so he was guttered, in fact he cried. so it will be an honour for me to finish thisjourney. we are different women from different cultures and different ages. and we are representing all the women all over the world. to those who say you are to old for this, what do you say? age isjust a number. i got really good trainer who is mr universe and he takes no prisoners. so is that a name for him? he's mr universe.

i got a photograph. mr universe and mr europe last year. there he was with his oiled body and i thought they got to get this close on, i would never concentrate. thank you very much. see when i get back. christmas in the antarctic awaits, with temperatures of —30 celsius. but if 73 is ange which takes things easy, no one told jan. we've talked a lot about cleaning up the rubbish in our oceans, but what about the junk floating through space? well, scientists think they have the answer. and it look like this. yes, it is a huge net, which has been successfully fired into orbit. its purpose is to catch millions of pieces of space debris. this happened more than 300 kilometres above the earth. and it's really needed, because all the old bits of broken

up rocket and even small tools dropped by space—walking astronauts, make up more than 7500 tonnes of debris floating in space. in fact, there's so much junk, scientists fear it will damage the satelites that enable our gps, phone and television signals and the systems we use to predict the weather. so they've devised this satellite called removedebris. here's the net experiment in action. have a look at this. i kid you not. fired from a satellite, it captures the rubbish, and then the idea is that the junk will burn as it is dragged back to earth. scientists also plan to test a harpoon, which they hope will be able to capture the debris as well. the satellite was actually launched into orbit injune, to an audience. this video was taken

by cosmonaut oleg artemyev. this is the video he took. it shows the removedebris satellite as it passed the window of the international space station shortly after launch. remarkable, is it not? richard duke designed the net for surrey university. he explained to me how it works. the net, we attach that to the mother spacecraft. we attach that with this we bill at university. it has an inflatable that comes out and thatis has an inflatable that comes out and that is so we can actually demonstrate what it is like to ca ptu re a demonstrate what it is like to capture a big bit of debris and then we can find the net provided by airbus and the idea is it should hit the space debris, one of our satellites, and then snap turns

around like a drawstring and will hold it all in. so they will gather in and in very slow down the speed with which this debris, your satellite, this debris is flying around. that is the whole idea and we go into a formation, the idea is that will be brought back to the mother spacecraft and you bring that cla p mother spacecraft and you bring that clap back to earth and everything vaporizes in the atmosphere. therefore getting rid of the debris. you have had a successful test with the net is up but you are also trying something out of science fiction, a harpooned as well. the next experiment is a harpooned by airbus, and that is very similar but instead of using a database debris, we are going to be deploying it and using the long boom with a target at the end, a example of what we have here, and then firing it and making sure we wanted to hit the centre if

possible and want to measure it goes all the way through this honeycomb panel that we have got to make sure it couldn't hold the spacecraft back. so this piece of metal, you tested on any holes on the harpooned actually digging in and capturing what they are after. that is it, yeah. the harpooned is notjust piercing, but it goes through and opens up so it actually can grab the middle, notjust pierce it.|j opens up so it actually can grab the middle, notjust pierce it. i had asked the question, the whole point is to clear out debris space. there are so many thousands of tonnes up there. you are sending more stuff up there. you are sending more stuff up there. when they sure do not add to there. when they sure do not add to the problem. the big thing the university has done is develop a drag sale, this is a sale that will fit into something the size of this. get this 16 m2 and we actually tested it on one of our missions last year and instead of taking 25 yea rs last year and instead of taking 25 years to come down, it was back down inafew years to come down, it was back down in a few months. so we tested it out

ona cuba in a few months. so we tested it out on a cuba satellite, to demonstrate the technology and now we have it on another ship to make sure it is not become a debris at the end of it and also look to push that into other bigger satellites for the future. so we have done this whole demonstration. i know you would thought to all of those cases. in terms of this actually starting to it when can we see it happening and it when can we see it happening and it is one that, have avi will go up there because there is an awful lot ofjunk up there because there is an awful lot of junk up there? there because there is an awful lot ofjunk up there? the big thing is not going after the little pieces because they usually come back down quite easily and quickly. but it is a really big spacecraft, taking the big ones out because the risk is a big ones out because the risk is a big spacecraft is hit by a little bit of debris and then that is an awful lot of debris after that because that big spacecraft will just combined into thousands if not tens of thousands of pieces. our thanks to richard for explaining

that. incredible to think there are small tools and dropped by astronauts floating up in space. for me and the outside source team, thank you and bye—bye. wednesday brought the first named storm of the season and is moving away toward scandinavia. we keep that strong jet off the atlantic to a further areas of low pressure away and also delineates the fresher air in the north to that still warm or humid air in the south and that is what will intensify our weather front as we go through thursday. so ranked look for the main concern by day on thursday. we could see up to 100 mm of rain through some of the hills and mountains of wales and parts of england as well. one man's drive to the south and fresher in the north with a few showers. medina, a spell of a windier weather than we had today. attentively

whence they could gusts up to 65 mph in some extremes or sun exposed areas in southern and eastern areas. when you're wednesday here is this area of low pressure develops on that one of front and it can also be some rather windy weather for the northeast for a time but that was out of the way as you move into friday. so a very blustery start, could be some trees down and certainly branches and leaves down by those winds and sunny spells and scattered showers with gusty wind. a notable change in the south for the loss of the humid air and it will feel much pressure, temperature is more on par with what they should be the time of year. we have been seeing the high teens by night recently. friday brings that blustery northwest wind that will gradually ease a way to bring a ridge of high pressure to start the weekend. saturday starts off very promising weight. lighter winds could mean a little mist and fog first thing and even a touch of grass frost but not long into the afternoon before the next band of rain starts to approach the

southwest. set into cornwall and possibly temperature by the day. for many, not a bad day. temperatures around about average for the time of year. then the next local winds up and this uncertainty will be where it says. they could come from without but either way it looks set to bring a miserable sunday. quite storming with heavy rain and more gales, possibly severe gales as well. it looks at the moment like saturday could be the better half of the weekend weather—wise. temperatures again fairly consequential when you have the wind blowing a gale and all that rain around, but again it does with gout away at that blustery start on monday. still fairly with but high pressure starts to move in and this time, it may well last for a good few days into next week. there is a chilly north first thing monday by a gradual easing of that place through the day and such i come through with clea n the day and such i come through with clean aircoming the day and such i come through with clean air coming down from the north

and temperatures struggling a little bit at 14-16. but and temperatures struggling a little bit at 111-16. but the and temperatures struggling a little bit at 14—16. but the routes of the breeze, not too bad. thatjust removes out of the way and we saved a high—pressure system building, so really keeping those weather front and back to the north and south, it looks quite unsettled, even in the west of the mediterranean next week. that means for ourselves, we have high pressure building up. that brings with it other autumnal problems of course and it made touches of ground frost overnight at this time of year and some mist and fog but also by day, some less windy weather and sunshine coming through to bring us a more settled week despite the stormy start. the warnings are on the website. tonight at ten: theresa may in salzburg trying to make the case for her brexit deal to fellow eu leaders. despite long—standing obstacles on trade and the irish border, the prime minister struck a hopeful note on her way in. just as the uk has evolved its position, the eu will need to evolve its position too. but i'm confident with good will and determination we can agree a deal that's right

for both parties. but among other eu leaders there a determination to get the uk to look again at some of mrs may's plan. on issues, such as the irish question or the framework for the economic operation, the uk's proposals will need to be reworked. and the president of the european commission, jean—claude juncker, said this evening that a brexit deal was still "far away". also tonight: more than 100 families have now come forward
