president trump has said the united states will pull out of a landmark nuclear weapons treaty it signed with russia more than 30 years ago. the nuclear forces treaty led to the destruction of hundreds of tactical weapons, but washington has accused the kremlin of breaching the agreement. here's our north america correspondent chris buckler. the intermediate—range nuclear forces treaty was seen as a landmark accord when it was agreed by russia and the us 30 years ago. it led to the destruction of hundreds of missiles by both countries, but the white house insists that russia has ignored the inf treaty by producing, testing and deploying banned cruise missiles. president trump now says that he is no longer prepared to let

the kremlin violate an agreement that america has honoured. we're not gonna let them violate a nuclear agreement and go out and do weapons and we're not allowed to. we're the ones that have stayed in the agreement and we've honoured the agreement, but russia has not unfortunately so we're gonna terminate the agreement. we're going to pull out. his national security adviserjohn bolton is holding meetings in moscow at the start of the week and is expected to tell russian leaders that the us is withdrawing from the treaty. chris buckler, bbc news, washington. brexit secretary dominic raab says the uk should boycott proposals to delay leaving the eu unless brussels relents on the irish backstop. his comments come after campaigners claim around 700,000 protestors marched for another referendum. 0ur political correspondent chris mason has the latest. a day on from this — hundreds of thousands of marchers demanding another referendum

on brexit — it's back to the political slog for the government of trying to reach a deal with the european union. up pops this man, dominic raab, in the sunday telegraph, with a fresh suggestion to kick—start the stalled negotiations. the sticking point in these complex discussions is the border between northern ireland and the republic — how to ensure it remains open after brexit even if there's no trade deal arranged in the next few years, and keeps the uk and the eu happy. it's what's known as the backstop and it has caused row after row. "we can fix these issues" mr raab writes, before suggesting... this would see the uk remain in the single market and customs

union into 2021 but, mr raab adds, we must have finality to any backstop — something thus far the eu has been unwilling to countenance. meanwhile as placards are dismantled and banners folded up, the people's vote campaign say it is beginning what it calls a nation—wide fight to persuade mps there should be another referendum — an idea the government has strongly rejected. chris mason, bbc news. let's talk to our political correspondent, tom barton.. correspondent, tom barton. we saw those protesters there but the government says no chance of a second vote or a second referendum? so how are they going to solve this impasse here which we've known about for a while but dominic raab suggests there may be extending the transition period? a possible solution. the government is stuck between a rock and too hard places, aren't they? the immovable might of the eu, those protesters on one side

and then this third aspect of brew brexit mps and campaigners holding the government's feet to the fire on the government's feet to the fire on the other. there isn't much wriggle room in the middle of a triangle and the government tries to work its way through it. today we have dominic raab the brexit circuitry setting out this idea which we had a bit about in the european summit of extending this transition period between march 2019 when we leave the eu and the point at which the rules actually change which at the moment is due to be the end of next year. the idea being floated of maybe extending that. dominic raab today said if that happens, that would be instead of a backstop over the northern irish border. that really, i think, will be aimed at those furious tory brexit mps backbenchers, who say you can't

possibly extended transition period andi possibly extended transition period and i think it is for the government by way of trying to persuade them that maybe it's not as bad as it looks. whether the eu will go for that given they have always said that given they have always said that whatever the agreement is over northern ireland, it has to be permanent, it looks pretty unlikely i think. and the reason they're so unhappy, these mps about the transition period, is nothing changes during that time, we still pay in money, so we now talk about how this could be £50 billion, no rules change, we can't stop the trade agreements, germany they are extremely unhappy with the direction it's going in —— generally they are extremely unhappy. and talk about leadership in the papers today. there are some pretty livid headlines in the papers this morning talking about theresa may being in the firing line —— louis reed headline. this will be over but sit from her

back and sit —— over brexit from her backbenchers. can they get 48 letters ? backbenchers. can they get 48 letters? i think almost certainly thatis letters? i think almost certainly that is possible, how close are they? the only person who knows that is the chairman of the 1922 committee, graham brady. but there is an mathematical problem that even if they get 48 letters, they need much more than that to unseat the prime minister. all the letters do is kick off a no—confidence vote for stop to win a no—confidence vote, they need 159 mps to stand up and ta ke they need 159 mps to stand up and take ballot together saying they have no confidence. that number seems very high so the danger for them as if they'd trigger this no—confidence for them and lose it, she is secure in herjob for a year. that could be what puts them after

doing it. they will be hoping that evenif doing it. they will be hoping that even if they can't win a no—confidence vote, that if enough mps, maybe 100 or so, no—confidence vote, that if enough mps, maybe 100 orso, maybe no—confidence vote, that if enough mps, maybe 100 or so, maybe slightly fewer, if there's a suggestion that lots of mps to have confidence that could be enough to force her to fall on her own sword. but very feed trial times, we are right at the crunch point for the talk around killing s“ s —— talks and de boer mps want the most brexit deal that they can. and the talks, there is no sign of the emergency summit in november because the eu didn't think there was enough progress made. so what happens next? what we have now, presumably between 110w what we have now, presumably between now and the december summit which you really at the last chance saloon

in terms of getting whatever deal is agreed eventually through the british and european parliament, signed off by the different european countries, between now and then we have the backroom talks, and eu negotiators will work through the details of this or the 80—90% of the withdrawal agreement hasn't fed up but the problem is ten or 20% that remains is the really, really hard stuff. between now and whenever they next meet, whether they put a summit in in november or wait till december, they have to get that stuff agreed in aware that all those various bodies including the british parliament can agree on. the big question for theresa may is whether there was anything if the eu will accept and be tory backbenchers will accept. at the moment, it's looking pretty difficult. it is. thank you for that. a woman has died after a suspected gas explosion tore through a flat in north west london overnight.

three people, including a baby, were rescued from the property in harrow after the blast set the building on fire this morning. around 40 people were evacuated from nearby properties as firefighters tackled the blaze. the eu has described the death of journalist jamal khashoggi inside the saudi consulate in istanbul as ‘deeply troubling'. it comes as pressure grows on the saudi authorities to explain the circumstances surrounding the death of the prominent critic. turkish officials say they have evidence he was murdered, but saudi arabia is claiming he died in a fist fight. his colleagues at the washington post say they're determined to get the truth. this feels like an attack not only onjamal, it feels like an attack on the washington post. he was one of us, he did so much in order to write and so i think that the mood here is one of anger but determination to get to the bottom of this and to not let this go.

earlier, the editor of arab digest and former diplomat 0liver miles, spoke to my colleagues rachel burden and ben thompson on bbc breakfast. it's just conceivable, i suppose, that somebody acted without proper authority and this has happened in other cases in other countries including england many hundreds of yea rs including england many hundreds of years ago. but i don't believe it. i'm afraid the saudis are doing a rather inept cover—up and if the turks go ahead and publish the information they have as they say for -- if —— if they are going to come in for two weeks they have talked about at some of the saudis will be exposed as lying. and it's the boldness of the action, others took place on foreign soil when he thought he would be safe in turkey. what needs

to be done, what response does the need to be from the international community to put pressure on them to come clean eared? and perhaps then ta ke come clean eared? and perhaps then take responsibility for their actions? —— come clean here. take responsibility for their actions? -- come clean here. the first thing we have to do is wait for the turks to come up with the information which they say they will publish. they repeated yesterday after the saudis have admitted that he was killed in the consulate, women have the opportunity if they wa nted women have the opportunity if they wanted to sweep under the carpet so to speak, —— when they had the opportunity. they will instead publish, and if they publish the information they have, the pressure on saudi arabia will grow enormously. what should we do? if the information comes out, developing as we expected to develop, what we must do is stop selling arms to saudi arabia because of the only thing we can do with will really affect them. and we should do it in conjunction with the americans, it's no good doing it by ourselves because as it happens,

although lots of countries sell arms in the middle east, by far the largest suppliers to saudi arabia are america and britain. i think we've got a big responsibility there, those weapons are being used ina warwhich there, those weapons are being used in a war which has created an enormous humanitarian catastrophe was literally millions and millions of people on the edge of famine. that's an important point to make because let's face it the saudi regime has had a highly questionable human rights record for many years. the involvement in the war in yemen and the death of innocent civilians that have put it in the spotlight yet no action has been taken. will the death of one journalist, and it isa the death of one journalist, and it is a tragedy, make any difference? and generate enough motivation to governments like the uk to actually act? it's curious, isn't it, that the death of one journalist ushered ina way the death of one journalist ushered in a way carried more than wait then tens thousands of you many. but that

is life —— of you many to use the cliche, it's the straw that will break the camel's back and we have to do something and do it with the americans. what i find surprising myself is as this crisis has developed, there has been strong wording from american administration, i think president trump would like to sweep it under the carpet but the congress, some of the carpet but the congress, some of the senators who have been close to saudi arabia in the past, are using strong language, they are determined to do something and we should encourage them. but the arms trade is big business, it generates millions, it takes a strong government to stand up to that kind of industry, so it whether they have the guts to do it? that's true, but you must keep it in perspective, it is an important industry and we've worked very hard to achieve these sales to saudi arabia. people talk

as if the whole british economy is it is not the case. we sell more goods to saudi arabia than weapons and sell more to places like the netherlands and belgium than saudi arabia so let's keep it in perspective. that was the editor of arab digests and former diplomat speaking earlier. children with life—limiting conditions have been let down by the nhs and local councils across england, according to a new report. a cross party group of mps says as many as one in three clinical commissioning groups do not provide specialist out—of—hours care. the department of health says it remains dedicated to improving patient choice for everyone through their end of life care commitment. the headlines on bbc news... president trump says the united states will pull out of a nuclear weapons treaty it signed with russia more than 30 years ago — because moscow has repeatedly the brexit secretary dominic raab says the uk could agree to extend the transition period

but only if the eu drops its demand for a northern ireland ‘backstop' a woman has been killed in a suspected gas explosion that destroyed a flat in north—west london overnight hundreds of central american migrants have used rafts and boats to cross the river marking the border between guatemala and mexico, in an attempt to continue theirjourney to the united states. thousands of people were left stranded on the frontier bridge after mexican police stopped them entering the country on friday. aleem maqbool reports. it isa it is a bridge that, for the white house, is now an immigration battlefield. straddling guatemala and mexico, it is currently home to thousands of migrants who have trekked from honduras wanting to get

to the us. though they still have to get to mexico which is not letting them in, president trump has described as convoy as an assault on the us and onslaught of criminal. translation: we plead to donald trump, this woman told the court may god soften his heart so we can enter the us, children are sleeping on the floor and we don't know how long it will be here, it's not fair. it has been a heartbreaking time for some. we met linda who got split up from his son five days ago and has not seen his son five days ago and has not seen him since. translation: i am upset and don't know what to do. should i continue and hope he arrives or should i turn back? i need him so much. they have all been risking the dangers, desperate for a better life in the states. small numbers of people have been allowed across the border but for the most part, the mexican gate

has remained shut. with living conditions here on the bridge getting more difficult, we are seeing many trying other means of trying to get to mexico. after a week of threats from washington, central american governments have come to an agreement, to transport people back to the home country for free if they sign up. reluctantly, nearly 600 have already put their names forward. we are sad because we thought we would make it to the us. when you come from poverty, you try to be optimistic but it's been difficult. we are returning to suffering. for some americans, the site of migrants giving up is a welcome one. for others, it's an embarrassment that their country, built on the idea of taking in those seeking prosperity, now delights in turn them away. but some migrants just won't take no for an answer. we

saw some of the hundreds that decided to cross into mexico by boat, determined and desperate enough to continue theirjourney to the usa by any means. the duchess of sussex will not attend any engagements on the sixth day of the royal tour of australia. kensington palace has not given a reason for the change of plans, however yesterday prince harry urged his pregnant wife to pace herself after she was feeling tired at the opening of the invictus games. meghan will continue with the rest of the tour in fiji, tonga and new zealand, as planned. 0ur sydney correspondent hywel griffith sent this report. the focus today was meant to be on the invictus games but she cut back

on her engagement, not much was said but he's in good health. sadly she was out and about later on today, she didn't go to the cycling russia was out there on sydney harbour tunnel on a boat, to watch the condition. she with the deep to frazer island tomorrow but we are told she will not be taking part in engagement again. the invictus games have got off to a pretty good start, people in sydney going out to sea but there seems to be support behind the games, once again people are turning out to see the royal couple. we have so far seen hundreds and in some places thousands of people come out to see them and certainly there isa out to see them and certainly there is a fascination with the young royals here. if not necessarily support for the future of the monarchy here in australia, the polls repeatedly stressed that the majority of australian people want this country to become a republic. so even though harry and meghan, are very popular here, they don't necessarily want to see that family continue as the australian head of state. the red arrows are set

to hold their largest ever tour of north america next year, spending nine—weeks in the us and canada. the royal air force aerobatic team has not performed in the region since 2008. the government says it will generate £2.5 billion of investment for britain. a primary school in devon is putting pupils on a cleaning rota in a bid to save money and educate the children. vacuum cleaners have been installed in the classrooms after the headteacher saw a tv programme about education injapan, where pupils routinely clean their school. sophie pierce reports. it's getting towards the end of the day at the grove school in .net. there's quite a bit of mess. unusually though, the six and 7 euros are expected not only to tidy but cleaner for —— seven—year—old. —— clean as well. but cleaner for —— seven—year—old. -- clean as well. the way going to tidy up. we've got a new build and

we're going to teach the children to respect our climate and keep it nice as possible for as long as possible and it fit in with the ethos of caring for environment and caring for our space. the idea was pioneered in japan where for our space. the idea was pioneered injapan where it is part of educating children to become good citizens. you learn how to do the hoover because when you're growing up, how do you turn this? like that. it's powered by electricity but without a cable. and it goes on for 40 minutes. do you think it's right you should have do clean—up yes because of our own mess. so we need to clean up our own mess. the school has a vacuum cleaner in every classroom and now child has to use it if they don't want to. it's accepted that children will tidy up

after themselves at the end of the day. the hoover isjust after themselves at the end of the day. the hoover is just an extension of that. the school says it is also serving the money by reducing cleaning costs. an eerie victorian transcript of a seance has been uncovered in the archives of warwick castle. the rare document was found in a sealed envelope in a box of forgotten receipts and bills belonging to the fourth countess of warwick. as lindsay doyle reports, she appears to have been plagued by troublesome ghosts. for centuries, the ancient castle of warwick has guarded its secrets. now a mystery waiting to be given up. a document found in the strong aroma of warwick county record office has lifted the veil on ghostly occurrences which terrified a victorian countess. i have been looking into the papers of anne, the fourth countess of warwick. i was quite surprised to find something interesting hidden in an envelope stopped in between a bundle of bills.

sealed with wax and hidden away by anne were transcripts of seances. it's quite obvious that she believed in ghosts. she was actually in these seances trying to stop ghosts from disturbing her. it was almost a bit like spiritual housekeeping. 0ne document written in so—called automatic writing refers to a ghost by name. the power of work is not that of the mortals in the castle here. the spirit called edward jameson is one of these who now wants the place. a servant, edward jamison claims to have stolen some item from the family and hidden it in a room in the castle. it's clear anne was disturbed by unexplained noises she was hearing along the dark corridors. she was especially intrigued by life after death and looking at what happens to people and trying to connect and communicate with them. she invited people over to try and get in touch with those spirits who had passed.

the actual room in which anne held her seances is now a meeting room for office staff but looking around its easy to imagine the ghostly mutterings. edward jamison, can you hear me? actually, i'd rather he didn't answer that... at one point, anne asks her ghost, will praying set you free? the answer, a firm no. a giant mural that's not been seen for nearly a century — has been uncovered in rome. bal tic tac by the italian painter giacamo balla — was found on the ground floor of a building owned by the bank of italy. the bbc‘s tim allman has more. art can appear at in the most mundane of places. behind the walls of this fairly non—descript building, something from the past, and the future.

this mural, called bal tic tac, a riot of reds and blues and yellows was created to adorn the entrance of a popularjazz cafe in the 1920s. but when the cafe closed, the mural was covered up and the building went on to become a lighting shop and then a bank. translation: i wouldn't hesitate to define this as an archaeological discovery of something modern. we knew it had been here but we thought it was completely lost. 0n the contrary, it was still there, the freshness of the artist's work. that artist was giacomo balla. he was part of the futurist movement. his work embraced modernity and depicted light, movement and speed. translation: bal tic tac by giacomo balla was considered completely lost except for some pictures and sketches made by the artist. the survival of the mural under decades of paint and wallpaper has

been described as miraculous. it will now be restored and become part of a museum that should open at the end of 2021. and then people will be able to see this artistic miracle for themselves. a record—breaking us lottery jackpot of $1.6 billion — around £1.2 billion is up for grabs tonight. whoever gets to claim the prize can choose to have the full amount paid out over a 29 year period, or they could take a still huge lump sum of $900 million. the chance to become america's newest billionnaire comes after players failed to pick the winning numbers on friday. now it's time for a look at the weather. we can cross the newsroom to stav da naos. do you think it's too late to buy a

ticket? can you imagine that? buying a house in the war because it's going to turn much cooler, in a week before the time, next week will be cooler. we had mist around southern areas which might link on a bit, lots of sunshine but it's a different story for the north marine sinking southwards. they cooler day to come. and in northern ireland but we could make 17—18d again across the south—east with sunny spells there. 0vernight, the sky is clear, there. 0vernight, the sky is clear, the rain clears off into the near continent and it will be a chilly night and quite breezy, set a low chance of mist and fog. temperatures in those single figures across the board. tomorrow, high—pressure dominates, it will be a fine day, i did brisk north west wind for all of us did brisk north west wind for all of us which will be stronger in the north of scotland, 50—60 mile an hour gusts with heavy rain. and temperatures are 12—14dc, it will

feel much cooler. it stays fine and dry, high—pressure as we head to the course of the week. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines: president trump says the united states will pull out of a nuclear weapons treaty it signed with russia more than 30 years ago — because moscow has repeatedly violated the terms. the brexit secretary dominic raab says the uk could agree to extend the transition period — but only if the eu drops its demand for a northern ireland ‘backstop', guaranteeing no hard border in ireland in all circumstances. a woman has been killed in a suspected gas explosion that destroyed a flat in north—west london overnight —
