talks at the elysium palace. this leading the commemorations to mark the signing of the armistice hundred yea rs the signing of the armistice hundred years ago tomorrow that watson into the fighting the first world war. president macron and donald trump have developed a warm rapport over the couple of years since mr macron became president and mr trump in us president. it might be a little more terse here, just out of shot there is president macron gave an interview saying it may be necessary to have a european army that could defend them against the united states is necessary. and in the fight over donald trump told journalists that the comment was very insulting. to be a fly on the wall at that meeting. we will have more from france and hash—mac over the course of the

morning as those commemorations take place. world leaders descending on palace and the events just north of paris where the armistice was signed. we will be able to bring you that story a little later. the former transport minister, jojohnson, has insisted he is not seeking the removal of theresa may as prime minister, following his resignation yesterday in protest at her prospective deal with brussels over brexit. but mrjohnson, who campaigned to remain in the eu, said he knew many of his colleagues were "reflecting hard". mrjohnson repeated his call for another referendum on membership of the eu, saying it would be the first one when people were aware of the realities of brexit. our political correspondent, tom barton is here. the timing of this is presumably the most significant thing, without any disrespect to mrjohnson he is not famous like his brother, he was a junior minister in the government in normal times. it would not be that

guarded is that significant but these are not normal times. that's right because we are a maximum of a handful of weeks away from the deadline by which theresa may needs to have reached a deal with the eu is ideal is be reached. and so the timing of this resignation is damaging to theresa may and also the fa ct damaging to theresa may and also the fact that this comes from a man who has been loyal so far that the prime minister, to the government, and is not somebody unlike his brother perhaps who has a lot of bluster makes a lot of noise, he is quiet... does not seek the spotlight. absolutely and so that adds power to his resignation. that he has been devastating about the deal which might end up being on the table in front of mps, describing it this morning as extraordinarily hopeless, vowing to vote against it went comes to the commons. but also saying that

this choice the prime minister is offering between her deal or no deal is the wrong choice, he says, he is now one ofjust a handful of conservative mps who are now backing another referendum on the eventual deal, he said because the deal which appears to be on the table is so different from what was promised during the referendum that it would be an absolute travesty not to put it back to the people. the prim minister has been negotiating the terms of our exit from the eu, they are in my opinion and in the view of others so radically different from the brexit that was built during the referendum that i think it would be a democratic travesty if we did not go back to the people seek consent for our departure for the eu on this basis. so different, you say from what was billed in the referendum and different from the idealised brexit. i have to point out that as one person that did that, your brother, borisjohn

one person that did that, your brother, boris john on. one person that did that, your brother, borisjohn on. what you appear to be saying is that he lied and got us to vote for the fund had no plan for getting us out. there we re no plan for getting us out. there were undoubtedly promises made in the campaign that were undeliverable, no one can dispute that. we were promised a brexit that would enable us to strike trade deals around the world and we are far from that with the deal at the prime minister will produce. we were promised a brexit that would unleash our economy is the low tax singaporean tiger on the edge of europe, on the contrary we are signing up to the rules and regulations that in the rest of the eu. is that we're saying we rely too? we will end up ceding sovereignty and not taking back control. it was a false prospectus, a fa nta sy control. it was a false prospectus, a fantasy set of promises that have been shown up for what they wear. we are now faced with the reality of that in the form of the deal the prime minister is about to bring back before parliament. my view is that this is a different from what was billed that it would be a travesty of we don't go back to the

people and ask them if they do want to exit the eu on this extraordinarily hopeless basis. fantastic prospectus we were offered, it makes you wonder if he has told his brother that. is there any suggestion that anyone else is going to followjo johnson any suggestion that anyone else is going to followjojohnson in this way or that he leaves from his interview that his decision to resign will somehow change the prime ministers mind? as for others who might go we just don't know, jo johnson said he would welcome other people choosing to leave the government, saying that he knew many ministers who were reflecting hard on how to respond to such a deal. will he change the premise of‘s perspective? i guess the fact that he said he would foot against whatever deal she brings back means that that is one fewer vote, the questions or whether the dup will support this deal and so can she get

it through parliament? that is the biggest question for her. we just now. thank you. let's go straight to the lycee to hear donald trump and emmanuel macron. yemen, africa, a lot of common issues. and it shows how cooperation issues. and it shows how cooperation is very important and i do share the presidency is that we need much better burden sharing within nato and that is why i do believe that my proposals for european defence are consistent with that. because it means more capacity in order to take pa rt of means more capacity in order to take part of the burden and i think it is very fairand important. part of the burden and i think it is very fair and important. slovakia very fair and important. slovakia very much, dollar for being here. very fair and important. slovakia very much, dollarfor being here. it is our pleasure. our people are very

proud to have the here and i want to thank you hear today for your solidarity and your constant solidarity and your constant solidarity with our people. solidarity and your constant solidarity with our peoplelj solidarity and your constant solidarity with our people. i very much appreciate that mr president and we have become very good friends over the last couple of years. we have much in common in many ways. perhaps more ways than people would understand but we are very much similar in our views. and i appreciate what saying about burden sharing. you know of my attitude has been, we want a strong europe, that is very poor than foreigners. whichever we —— we wonder very strong europe, and whichever way we can do that is the best. we look forward to spending the next day and a half with you. i think tomorrow is

going to be very important in discussing many things, not only militarily and aid in nato and others, but we will also be discussing trade. we will be discussing trade. we will be discussing that little while, i think we've made a lot of progress. i'd see if we can get it over the line as they say. trade is very important. we're also very much focused, the president and icon on terrorism. a very big subject for of us. terrorism. a very big subject for of us we see what is going on the world and it is not good picture. we have made a lot of progress and done things together that were quite bold, very bold. terrorism will be a big factor and a big part of a discussion today sol big factor and a big part of a discussion today so i want to thank everybody for being here and mr president thank you very much. the dock about europe and a strong

defence. can you explain that? we're getting along from the standard of fairness, we want that to be fair. the burden sharing has been largely on the united states. the president understands that that he understands that the united states can only do so that the united states can only do so much, in fairness to the united states. we are rebuilding a relatively, we just approved $716 billion on top of another 700 billion on top of another 700 billion so we are almost completely rebuilding a militarily to be the latest and greatest. we want absolutely be there, we want to help and be part of it. different countries have to also help. it is only fair. and the presence and i have already discussed that and we very much agree on that.|j have already discussed that and we very much agree on that. i do agree, i think we worked very closely together... we will leave president macron and trump to talk outside her

diplomatic correspondence james langdale. was this little difference of opinion over what a european army might be for potentially serious problem to overcome or having navigated it quite easily? as you have just heard there was an attempt by both sides i think to move on and paper over the cracks and talk about her strong friendship is the us and france and at the same time emphasise that france agrees with the us over the need for european nations to spend more on defence the americans to subsidise a little bit less. i think the row built up over trader president trump are saying that it trader president trump are saying thatitis trader president trump are saying that it is somehow insulting for president macron to suggest that france needed to be protected from the americans is an illustration of a wider division, i think it will be on show this weekend through all the

commemorations for the armistice. and that is this. president macron believes that this whole weekend in the centenary of the armistice illustrates the importance of his argument, namely that unchecked nationalism and populism can lead to conflicts such as the first world war, when is president trump believes that is a false analysis, he believes in america first, he believes in what he admits himself asa believes in what he admits himself as a form of nationalism. you very sceptical of multinational is and international organisations believes in nations behaving, reflecting their economic and military strength in bilateral and regional arrangements are so those are two very different worldviews and i think that is where the real tension lies. so the actual row specifically over what president trump at present mark o'meara may not have said in an interview is a reflection of that wider division. they used to make

jokes in whitehall as you'll remember as to political correspondence that state funerals are very handy because that is when you do real business. this real business can't be done at the armistice commemorations? i think it is going to be very much in the margins, this is the only formal bilateral meeting that president macron is having, this is the one off, there was supposed to be a meeting between president trump and president putin but that has now been cancelled in part, so it has been cancelled in part, so it has been reported because president macron said i don't want somebody us—russion summit to hijack this weekend's events, but clearly some politics will be done because after the commemorations tomorrow, after the commemorations tomorrow, after the big ceremony at the arc de triomphe president macron has organised what he is calling the paris peace forum which is a new summit, called what you will, which

he hopes will become an annual event. essentially where he says the international community can come together to discuss multilateralism, international government, help you fight back against the threats against chrissy and a strong against the growing countries that are relating populist and nationalist minded leaders? is there a way of getting the world to start cooperating" among some world leaders are going to that however as may be inevitable, mr trump has chosen not to attend. not least because the whole conference is a com plete because the whole conference is a complete antithesis of his worldview. it is interesting this weekend of weekends to reflect on this. intense wildfires are sweeping through parts of california, destroying thousands of buildings, forcing the evacuation of entire towns, and, so far, claiming the lives of at least nine people. officials say at least five people were found dead in their cars in butte county,

northern california, where one 80—square—kilometre blaze has devastated the town of paradise. almost all the wooden built buildings have been turned to ashes. it's now threatening areas to the north of the town. further south, more than 150,000 people have been forced to leave their homes. our correspondent james cook sent us this report from paradise, california. heavenly father, please help us please help us to be safe. it was a desperate dash for survival. pursued by a wildfire devouring the equivalent of 80 football pitches a minute. paradise sits on a ridge, and a few roads down quickly became choked with traffic. some motorists abandoned their cars and ran for their lives, with children and pets in their arms. the hardest thing about this all is the people that may not have had the benefit that i had to get out when i got out.

i started crying. the extent of the disaster here is not yet clear, but what we know already is grim. bodies have been found in the charred remains of vehicles. well, we're just driving into paradise now, and it's really a frightening scene. there are telegraph poles on fire, electricity has been cut. we've been driving past some houses which have been burned, and we're hearing disturbing reports from inside paradise itself about many deaths and injuries there. this is what we found. paradise is not just lost, but annihilated. in southern california, two big blazes raged towards the pacific ocean. tens of thousands of people in their path had to flee. this fire burned on the edge of thousand oaks, a city already

reeling from a mass shooting in a bar. the communities of calabasas and malibu have also been evacuated. the fire which consumed paradise was driven by hot desert winds rushing down to the sea. the air here is acrid. you can actually taste the chemicals as they smoulder. and it is eerie and frankly pretty awful to walk here in the ashes of people's lives. james cook, bbc news, paradise, in california. the headlines on bbc news: after his shock resignation, the former transport ministerjo johnson says he is not seeking theresa may's

but data compiled for the bbc shows that many such cars bought by large companies with the help of government grants were only doing about a0 miles per gallon. in other words, they were about as efficient as your regular petrol motor. for seven years, buyers of plug—in hybrids were entitled to a subsidy of up to £11,500, but this incentive has sometimes backfired. there are actually some examples where employees aren't actually charging these vehicles up and the charge cable is still in the boot, in a cellophane wrapper, not actually doing anything while the company and employee are going in and out of petrol stations all the time, paying for all this additional fuel when the vehicles could be quite easily charged up. it's ridiculous. the miles consultancy says more charging points would help prevent such misuse, but the trade body that represents fleets says higher taxes on diesel cars are to blame. we've unfortunately got a situation

where a poorly designed tax regime is driving poor behaviours. we've got some situations where company drivers are choosing a vehicle based on tax liability rather than the right vehicle for the rightjob. the government says it still believes plug—in hybrids bring significant environmental benefits, but the uk's plan to reduce emissions will depend more on drivers like josh. joe miller, bbc news. as we've been hearing tomorrow marks the centenary of armistace day. the moment at which the fighting stopped after four years of war and it was one of the consequences of that was notjust it was one of the consequences of that was not just the casualties it was one of the consequences of that was notjust the casualties of the misery and sustained by those fighting on the front line. many

we re fighting on the front line. many were often left with life changing injuries to their bodies and things like shell shock. the techniques used to change those pioneering at the time and pave the way for today's plastic surgery. dr emily mayhew, a military medical historian at imperial college londonjoins us now. thank you very much for being with us. a lot of people will be aware of the plastic surgery that developed asa the plastic surgery that developed as a result of the work of what became known as the guinea pigs up, particularly a force men who were horribly burned when planes question the battle of britain. —— guinea pig club. is the plastic surgery family tree, if you like, archibald mcindoe was the surgeon that treated pilots in the second world war and he was the cousin of harold gillies who really started the whole plastic surgery ball rolling in the first world war. i think a lot of people figure the plastic surgery today and they're thinking about cosmetic

surgery but plastic surgery doesn't just reconstruct faces, it saves lives, often before that has to get to that point and really where we see this happening is the first world war. plastic surgeons make a really significant difference to saving lives and rebuilding them after the fighting is over. we're going to seejust after the fighting is over. we're going to see just a shot of the building hospital where some of the men were treated. what sort of conditions where surgeons having to operate in? firstly actually as close to the front as they could safely be. the remarkable thing is they are as close to the front as they are as close to the front as they can safely be, before the first world war hospitals were hours and hours away and people didn't really die on the way because the different conditions. the first world war dewar seemed really big blast injury, the kind of thing we look at and what you need to do with blast injury and that is, is treated really quickly. so you trade a white tailed hospital with bright lights and sepsis for quick treatment at point of wounding and even back in

1914 and remember reading a letter bya 1914 and remember reading a letter by a plastic surgeon and he writes to colleagues and says when you come here be ready to do plastics because thatis here be ready to do plastics because that is what they are going to need. and it as close the wounded, the point of wounding as possible because that is how you will save lives. one of the statistics i was struck by given that it can be a very downbeat thing to talk about, the first world war, in mind is the image the trenches and carnage and all the rest of it, but something like 80% of the british men who went to fight came back but it is the condition they came back in and how their lives could be, their lives could be made as tolerable as possible and these guys were working magic. they really were working magic. they really were working magic and it was part of this idea that people were unexpected survivors, it was the first time people survived and those numbers, which is a real tribute to the medical system but also a real challenge, that they came back and then we had to worry about a lifetime of consequences of those

injuries. in a historian really wounding are not of death, in a way death is a quick thing to deal with, wounding as a lifetime. a lifetime beyond survival. people are improvising beyond the battlefield and when people get home and recognising that people will need a lifetime of care. that is still our biggest challenge. in terms of the treatment available, how extensive was it? if you are an average tommy what were your chances of getting this treatment? your chances are pretty good, you people out there who has a lot of experience wanted to deliver the care they knew how to do to give, and a system that was ready for them. from 1917. we had the very first fatal repair hospital in britain from 1917. they are doing really pioneering work and repairing soft tissue and hard tissue and the surgeons understand that if they don't do this people's lives are going to be ruined, it is not
