hello and welcome to bbc news. i'm reged ahmad. president trump is in california to see the damage caused by the us state's worst ever wildfires. visiting the town of paradise, which was largely destroyed, mr trump said everybody had done incredible work to respond to the disaster. he also revisited his claim that poor forest management was to blame. at least 71 people have died and about1,000 are still unaccounted for. dan johnson has this report from paradise. in the ruins of paradise, the president got his own clear view ofjust how devastating this fire was, and he offered his sympathy to the people of this town, and the families of those still missing. this is very sad to see it. as far as the lives are concerned, nobody knows quite yet. we're up to a certain number, but we have a lot of people that aren't accounted for. and this is the kind of destruction — in fact, they're telling me this is even not as bad as some areas.

some areas are even beyond this, they're just charred. a week ago, while this earth was still hot, the president sparked a debate about forest management. he had threatened to cut government funding, but after the anger of his initial reaction, today he met some of those who responded and have been searching what is left. he was asked if any of this made him think differently about climate change. no, no. i have a strong opinion. we're going to have forests that are very safe. the president has shown paradise, like so many other places, that his words can be divisive and controversial, before they are unifying and supportive. but his message here today is that he stands with the people here. meanwhile, they stand in line to fill in the forms for federal government help. people need to re—establish their identity before they can rebuild their lives, and not all gave the president a welcome. i mean, he's saying that —

you know, that the forests have been mismanaged. well, it's federal, it's the bureau of land management. it's taken care of by the feds. he doesn't understand california, he doesn't like california. he thinks we should cut down all our trees and not allow any water to go into the pacific ocean, and ijust don't agree with him on a lot of those things. paradise must be seen to be believed. the president has viewed a fraction of what has been lost. the full extent of the destruction, and what caused it, is still being revealed. more than 250,000 people have taken to the streets of france in protests over high fuel prices and the rising cost of living. one person was killed when a woman taking her child to see a doctor tried to drive through a blockade. more than 200 others have been injured. pauline lallement from french magazine paris match says the protests are a sign of growing anger in france. well, it has been a big issue in

france, because, like, a lot of people are moving to other cities to find somejobs, you know, and it has been a big problem for them to do it, because of the rise of the price of the tax on fuel. in fact, it was not only the issue of today. it was much more like a widespread frustration, you know, about businessmen who can afford to pay all the taxes. it was about uber drivers who also say that they are not paid enough. it is also about retired people who have not... who say that they have not enough money to retire. so it was a lot of people from everywhere in france, more than

200,000 people, who decided to demonstrate today. and i think that all the yellow jackets, they demonstrate today. and i think that all the yellowjackets, they said, 0k, we have this problem with the fuel price, but it's much more like a widespread frustration, as i said. the killer of saudi critic jamal khashoggi will be known within the next two days, according to president donald trump. mr trump was speaking to reporters in malibu when he said a full report on who did it would be completed by monday or tuesday. it follows media reports that the cia believes crown prince mohammed ordered the killing. the murder and international outcry has frayed ties betwen washington and riyadh. a senior member of theresa may's cabinet has called for changes to her brexit plans. andrea leadsom, who is the leader of the commons, said there was potential to improve a draft deal before the prime minister presents it to european leaders next week. mrs leadsom is among five brexit—supporting cabinet ministers

said to be demanding significant changes. however, alterations to the draft have been described as a fantasy by another government minister. mrs may has been speaking to local conservative party members as she seeks to head off a possible vote of no confidence. this report from our political correspondent iain watson contains some flash photography. even in an era of political turmoil, the events of the past few days have been remarkable. this is a decisive step, which enables us to move on and finalise the deal in the days ahead. on wednesday, theresa may announced she had the backing of her top team for a deal with the eu. reporter: is no-dealjust a bluff? but by thursday, there were two cabinet resignations, including the loss of her second brexit secretary, and the prime minister's own position was under threat

when this leading leave campaigner called for her to stand down. what we need is a leader who will say to the european union, it is impossible to divide up the united kingdom. then another blow — some who said they supported the prime minister began to attach strings. and today, just listen to this cabinet minister talking about the eu deal. you know, i think — as i've said on a number of occasions, i think that the uk cannot be trapped in a permanent customs arrangement, and i think that it's really important that we get some sort of clarity, and some improvement on that particular aspect of it. so who really is running the government? michael gove and three other brexiteer cabinet ministers arejoining andrea leadsom in calling for further changes to the prime minister's deal, though not yet for a change of prime minister. i'm totally supportive of the prime minister. i think she's doing a fantasticjob. though he could still be gearing up for some arguments behind closed doors. the eu aren't keen to unpick

a 585—page withdrawal agreement, and some ministers believe it is unreasonable to ask. just because some cabinet ministers make demands of the prime minister, that the details are going to change, is, i think, fantasy. but without any changes, this mp who voted to leave believes the prime minister may be ousted, and the deal will definitely be defeated. over the weeks to come, people are going to see that the deal that the european union have offered us, and which theresa may said is the best deal she's been able to secure, is simply infinitely worse than the option of moving to a clean, global brexit. so tonight, the prime minister is fighting both for her deal and for her leadership. so, as we have been hearing — more than 250,000 people have taken part in demonstrations across france against high fuel prices and the rising cost of living.

lucy williamson reports from paris. car horns beeping. there are those in france who say they feel invisible to their leaders. not today — high—visibilityjackets the new uniform of a leaderless nationwide movement, blocking roads across the country in protest at rising fuel taxes and the rising cost of living. translation: i am a nurse, and i'm tired of being so heavily taxed. translation: the little people are fed up with it, and that's why they've come out today. anger meant for the government spilt out at some sites. 0ne protester was killed, and among more than 200 people injured, this policeman, who simply got in the way. priscillia ludosky‘s petition against the price rises helped spark this movement. she gathered 800,000 signatures, but got no response from the government. translation: we are not listened to. we are not understood. we are not even consulted on big decisions.

we see the president talking to people on the street, but the government is not at all connected to reality. the government this week announced 500 million euros of energy aid for poorer households, but many here feel that business and industry should be paying more. emmanuel macron — no friend of the struggling, but president of the rich, according to some. president macron came to power promising to heal the rift between voters and their leaders, his campaign image based on a new kind of grassroots democracy. but, across the country today, protesters are accusing him of continuing france's economic divisions, and the distrust that many still feel towards their politicians. lucy williamson, bbc news, paris. let's look at some other stories in brief: protesters blocked five major bridges in central london, demanding that the uk government takes greater action on climate change. it followed a week of action

by the campaign group extinction rebellion. the group said 6,000 people had joined the demonstrations, and there had been 45 arrests. police in athens have used teargas and stun grenades against anarchists who threw firebombs on the 45th anniversary of a student revolt. hooded youths put up barricades in the greek capital, where a former military government killed 2a people during student protests in 1973. democrat andrew gillum has conceded defeat to republican ron desantis in florida's governor race, as a recount of ballots neared its end. the democrat congratulated republican former congressman ron desa ntis on becoming the state's next governor. argentina's government says it does not have the means to retrieve a submarine that has just been found at the bottom of the atlantic, a year after it went missing with 44 crew members on board. the submarine disappeared in november last year after reporting an electrical fault. the government will declare two days of mourning for the victims. nichola carroll reports.

366 days since the ara sanjuan submarine went missing with 44 crew on board, and finally, an announcement from the authorities. translation: the submarine is located in a deep place, at a depth of 870 metres. and there is a dip to 907 metres, which is where the submarine is. that dip hit the submarine from the sonars. at a news conference, the defence ministry said that it seemed impossible to recover what was left of the submarine. translation: we also don't have a remotely operated vehicle to go down to those depths, to check the sea bed. and we don't have the equipment to extract a vessel with those characteristics. news that the vessel had been found 800 metres below the surface of the ocean offered little comfort

to the families of the dead. the sanjuan was returning from a routine mission to ushuaia, around 400 kilometres off the patagonian coast, when it reported an electrical breakdown on 15 november 2017. a massive international rescue operation found no trace of the missing saab. fourie, nothing. the failed search raised questions about the state of the argentinian, that which was one of latin america's smallest defence budget is relative to the size of its economy. at the one—year commemoration held on thursday, relatives were still asking questions. translation: i do not wish the loss of a child on anyone, not my worst enemy. we want to have news, we wantjustice to be done, for the truth to be known, and for the guilty to pay. a day later, relatives received the news that the vessel had been

found. it had been located by a private company hired by the government. the question now is whether the vessel can actually be retrieved. nichola carroll, bbc news. the former bbc newsreader richard baker has died. he was 93, and introduced the corporation's first ever television news bulletin in 195a. david sillito looks back at his life. 1954, and the first—ever bbc television news bulletin began with the voice of richard baker. here is an illustrated summary of the news. it'll be followed by the latest film of events and happenings at home and abroad. in those early days, newsreaders were never seen, because it was feared that our facial expressions might not always look impartial. and worse still, that we might turn the news into a personality performance. richard baker — for more

than a quarter of a century he helped define the calm, clear voice of bbc tv news. police reinforcements are drafted into downing street tonight as the crowd outside number 10 built up to about 300. good evening, and first the big fire... he was a presenter, rather than a journalist, but this veteran of the wartime arctic convoys was also a writer. his great love — music. a panellist on face the music, he presented radio programmes, and for many years he was the tv face of the proms. good evening to you, and a very warm welcome to the royal albert hall. in his spare time he had a go at acting, here with prince edward. forgot you, sir? 0h, notorious villain! and there was also a memorable moment on morecambe and wise. music plays. he was still broadcasting into his 80s, but he will always be

remembered as the voice, and then as one of the best—known faces, of bbc news. for the moment that's all the news, except for a word about the weather. richard baker, who has died at the age of 93. this is bbc news. the headlines: president trump has visited paradise, the us town in california worst affected by the recent wildfires. he praised the efforts of the local police and the teams searching for survivors. staying with that story. earlier i wasjoined by brandon wilson, whose home near malibu was destroyed by the fires. he spoke to us from the coastal town of del mar near san diego. well, we got run off the mountain and pretty much, and just grabbed the animals and the fire came up so quick

that we had to leave the ranch and loaded up the dogs and ran down. by the time we got down, the fire had pretty much come across mulholland and engulfed the ranch behind us. it was pretty fast and it moved quicker than we expected. it was out of, kind of a bad movie. so did you know as you were evacuating that your home was in peril? we knew, yeah, we knew right away. we got chased off the mountain by the fire, we didn't know if it was going to come back and we looked back at the house, the only thing that was left was a 1930s chimney and the propane tank. it engulfed everything on the ranch, the two houses and the entire setup there, pretty quickly. there are a lot of people who are experiencing what you are experiencing and having to be evacuated and not able to go back to homes they have lost. how has your experience been

of authorities helping people such as yourself? it'sjust all devastating, you know, and it hits everybody, it's been a rough ride. nobody expects it and when it happens, i think everybody doesn't realise how quick it comes and when it does a lot of emotions and trauma hit. at the same time people come together and try to help each other out, and it's an overwhelming emotion to lose all of your belongings at the same time when everybody is being engulfed by flames quicker than you expect. so as you can see, it's a lot to deal with. it's nice to see people come together and help during the fires and make sure that everybody is in safety and malibu came together in a way that was monumentalfor a community to hang on to what we had and see what we could do. a lot of famous people's homes, gerard butler, to many others, that were taken by the fire and with the kind of community that we have, it is nice

that the community can come together and help each other. how have you been coping in terms of making sure you've got food and shelter and things like that? well, you know, we got out pretty quick and i know others that came through had boats and jet skis that showed up with water and supplies, the pacific coast highway was cut off by the highway patrol. they had emergency services come in and i saw a lot of people coming in by boat and dropping things off to people that were still there and stranded. from pepperdine all the way up to ventura was pretty much taken out by the fires and especially in the canyons. where we were near mulholland, safari ranches, they have a giant giraffe there and exotic animals that i know they had a tough time getting those out. horses running wild on the streets. it was chaotic, at the same time they got the animals out pretty safely and they ran to the beach and they got the giraffe out,

george, a famous giraffe from the movie the hangover. today people have been talking about donald trump's visit to some of the fire affected regions. people have had things to say, what is your feeling on president trump's visit? i think is first initial comments were not sensitive enough to the community at the time and if he wants to make changes i think he should wait until an appropriate time that people can process the fire, recuperate and get through it and come back. then we will come back and talk about these issues. now he is saying stuff after the fact, if he comes in and helps now and later on makes changes, now is not the time to make comments when people's lives have been destroyed and are trying to rebuild.

i think that is where californian people stand and i think a lot of people think that. in terms of people rebuilding their lives, i wonder what are your long—term plans? do you plan to go back to malibu? yes, we will go back to malibu and we are going to rebuild and go through the insurance policy and see what can be done. just see — i think you come back and you start over again, you make it better than it was before, and you try to just rehash anything that's left and hopefully you know, just come back. that's all you can really do. that was brendan wilson, talking about his experience of losing his home in those california fires. and we will of course keep across those wildfires and the search for the many people who are missing. next month, world leaders meet in poland for the annual united nations convention on climate change. but now thousands of young people have found a unique way to make their

message heard, what trying to set a record for the biggest postcard of all time. 125,000 cards and drawings from children all around the world, each with a message on climate change. they are put together to make one giant postcard, which organisers say, at 205,000 square metres, is the largest ever. next month the governments of the world are going to get together in poland for the next conference of the parties on climate change. this is going to be the place where the actual plan of action to implement the paris agreement on climate change is going to be negotiated. we need ambition. we need ambition from every government that is going to be there. 1.5 celsius is a message that

is hard to miss. that is what scientists say the limit for global warming needs to be if we want to keep the earth habitable. last month the united nations report warned that without drastic action there will be even sharper temperature rises, but with doubts over whether countries can even meet the two degrees cap agreed at the paris climate conference three years ago, activists are demanding global leaders do more. we expect act low, decisions, and urgent actions. —— acts. we are done with the talking, we don't want to wait any more, we wa nt to we don't want to wait any more, we want to do this transition and decarbonise the economies and societies in order to save the climate and all live on this one is in peace. the glazier this giant postcard was put together on is also significant. —— glacier. it is melting at an alarming speed. it could disappear altogether within the next 80 years. activists say it

is just another example of the increasing threat posed by global warming. 0ften cheaper than a bottle of water, energy drinks can be very popular with children. but doctors say there should be a ban on selling them to anyone under the age of 16. a consultation on that proposal runs until tuesday of next week, as hayley hassall reports. so who here has had a sip or drunk an energy drink? i have energy drinks about once every couple of weeks. i had an energy drink when my sister had one, i only had a sip and it made me hyper. i have an energy drink on a saturday, when i go dancing, because wakes me up really early. i liked the taste of it, but later on i did not like how i felt. well done. 0k. according to department of health two thirds of ten to 17—year—olds are regular consumers of energy drinks. the average drink contains 15 cubes of sugar and 150 mg of caffeine. that's the equivalent of two strong cups of coffee the world health organization says that drinking these often could lead

to high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, poor dental health, and obesity. children are particularly susceptible to the advertising. their bodies are not equipped to assume that amount of caffeine, the sugar content can increase the risk of childhood obesity, the oral health implications, we have children having dental extractions of their adult teeth which impact upon their speech and their self—esteem. from a public health perspective we would be keen to see the energy drinks being banned for under the age of 18 and we would like to see that happen as soon as possible. i was drinking three or four energy drinks a day. from being 12 years old, james drank more than three cans of energy drinks a day. then last year he collapsed and had to have his gall bladder removed. i drank them because i was tired and they would give a quick energy boost. then i would feel tired again and i would drink another one. i thought i had a problem with my stomach. i used to pass out. i passed out a few times.

i passed out at school. then i went to the doctors and eventually got an ultrasound and they said it was gall stones. that must have felt awful for you. had you any idea what was causing the problem? i ended up in hospital and had my gall bladder removed and they said it could have been because i was drinking energy drinks. at the time, did you know that energy drinks were not suitable for kids? i didn't know that they weren't suitable for children. i know they have a label on the back, but who reads that? it is a year since his operation and he is a different character. but back in year nine he was a handful. and now in year 11 he is a different person. thousands of people have got behind a campaign to stop energy drinks been sold to children and some supermarkets have already voluntarily stopped selling them. when the government launched the consultation the drinks industry said that a sales ban on energy drinks is not effective as there are much greater contributors to sugar and caffeine

in ourdiets. as you can see, the energy drinks on the same shelves as the fizzy drinks and the juice. they have bright coloured cans. they usually cost less. they are on average 99p. over a pound for the other drinks. there are warning signs on the back that say they have a high level of caffeine and are not suitable for children. but campaigners want the government to go one step further and they want to ban children from being able to buy them completely. hayley hassall, bbc news. the bbc‘s annual children in need appeal has raised a record amount of more than £50 million, taking it past the £1 billion mark since it first started almost 40years ago. 0ur entertainment correspondent, lizo mzimba looks back on the night. cue the socialiser! yes! the night's record—breaking total. # i stay up too late. # got nothing in my brain!# the evening kicked off with a performance from the west end
