hello and welcome to bbc news. the united states has announced an agreement reached with china's leader xi jinping, under which president trump is cancelling his threat to impose 25% trade tariffs. the news followed talks between the two men at the 620 summit in argentina, where world leaders also agreed to reform the world trade organisation. just a warning, caroline rigby‘s report contains flash photography from the start. the united states has announced that — the relationship i have is a special

with president xijinping. we the relationship i have is a special with president xi jinping. we will end up getting something good for china and good for the united states. both countries have imposed ta riffs states. both countries have imposed tariffs on billions of dollars worth of goods but following their meeting at the end of the 620, the united states announced that, for now at least, it would not go ahead with its threat to raise tariffs against china to rate of injanuary. in return, china will agree to purchase a not yet agreed upon but very substantial amount of agricultural energy, industrial and other products from the united states to reduce the trade imbalance between oui’ reduce the trade imbalance between our two countries. the two sides will now engage in trade talks with the goal of reaching an agreement in 90 days but with technology and

tariff barriers, america has many more demands on china which it says that must be met. this may very well only be a temporary truce between the two powers. earlier, the french president emmanuel macron, told reporters the world trade organization which regulate trade disputes, should be modernised. translation: we believe deeply that the modernisation of the world trade organization is absolutely indispensable that the work that the oecd is doing in order to moderate —— modernised it is a necessary step to enhance our multilateralism in the matter of trade. then, in their final communique, the leaders of the worlds largest economies, together, called the body's reform. the 620 summit also saw other complex and disagreements rates —— that race. most notably, russia's seizure of ukrainian navy personnel at the question of whether saudi arabia's

crown prince —— crown prince was behind the murder of jamal khashoggi. earlier i spoke to philip levy. he is a senior fellow at the chicago council on global affairs and he's a former trade adviser to former president george w bush. i asked him if trump's trade strategy actually worked. it has caused great concern among the chinese, many things they are talking about or seen to be talking about with agricultural goods are them walking back from their retaliation while the us is still maintaining the tariffs they imposed and i suppose in a certain way you could say things have worked, but it hasn't been good for the american people and we have not yet solved the underlying problems. we are talking about a stay of execution, if you will, for 90 days and then see what happens after that. what do you think the chinese are trying to do here? i think they are trying to stabilise

the relationship and buy time and, in fact, you can see some parallels with what europe has done, for example, in dealing with the trump administration where it initially said it would retaliate against the steel and aluminium tariffs and would not back down and then they said "let's start talks and maybe we can forestall auto tariffs," so you have much of the world who are playing the time and trying to stop the trump administration from doing worse than it already has done. in terms of this discussion about a trade war — and we have been talking a lot about that since all of this began — do we think this may be the beginning of the end? where do you think this all adds up, basically? so the central part of this is postponing the us tariffs that was supposed to escalate onjanuary one. with a 90—day announcement, that is a postponement of about two months, which is extremely unlikely that they'll resolve the deep issues that they have will be talking about in the next 90 days. the question then gets to be

will the administration accept the more modest measures or are they going to go where the hardliners want to be, and say it is unacceptable. all right, philip levy, senior fellow at the chicago council of global affairs, they give very much for taking us through all of that. president emmanuel macron of france is returning to paris for an emergency meeting with senior ministers after some of the worst rioting seen in the french capital in recent years. more than 200 people have been arrested, during the third successive weekend of demonstrations. the protesters are angry at rises in taxes, especially on fuel. but mr macron has condemned the violence, saying it was far from an expression of legitimate anger. bill hayton reports. parisien ‘s i used to demonstrations but this violence was of an intensity rarely seen in the french capital. smoke from port cars mixed

with walk —— water cannon and tear gas deployed by riot police. one protester was left in a critical condition as these metal gate were ripped down. demonstrators also scrawled anti— emmanuel macron graffiti. at the 620 in argentina, the french president condemned the violence, much of which, the authorities believed, was caused by extremists from both the left and right. translation: what happened today in paris has nothing to do with the peaceful expression of legitimate angen peaceful expression of legitimate anger. no cause justifies authorities attacked, businesses plundered or that passers—by are threatened or that the arc de triomphe is defiled. what began as few weeks ago was a peaceful protest

by the yellow vests has now expanded into a broader display of anti—government anger. emmanuel macron will convene an urgent meeting with the prime minister and other senior officials to address the situation. but on the ground in paris, the cleanup has already begun. time for many to survey the damage and understand how a peaceful march sets a day of destruction for the city of light. france president emmanuel macron says his fuel policies are needed to combat global warming, a subject that is the focus of a summit that gets under way this week. representatives from nearly 200 countries are gathering in poland and, although talks officially open on monday such is the sense of urgency in tackling the problem that negotiators have started work a day early. our environment correspondent matt mc6rath has more. cited a more certain than ever that

climate change is increasing the severity of things like these, the deadliest wildfires in the us in a centric treat —— century. it has been highlighted in a number of other colonising reports this year which underlined that action is taken over the which underlined that action is ta ken over the next which underlined that action is taken over the next qualities will make or break the chances of keeping temperatures within safe limits this century. failure to act means more disasters and emergencies and the pollution that could cost the global economy as much as 21 trillion us dollars by 2050. at climate demonstrations in many parts of the world, there is a growing sense of frustration at the slow pace of progress. the message seems to have gotten through to poland with global

negotiators starting work day only. they are trying to agree on the technical rules that will apply to all countries when the paris agreement comes into force in 2020. however, major parts of this will book a still in dispute. campaigners are also suspicious that the polish government wants to use the conference to cement the place of coal well into the future. but despite these challenges, negotiators here believe a successful outcome is possible. the mexican president, andres manuel lopez obrador, has been sworn in at a ceremony in the national parliament. having run on an anti—corruption platform, he told his supporters in the main square in mexico city he would end impunity in mexico. international leaders from across the political spectrum attended the event. from mexico city our correspondent, will 6rant, reports. andres manuel lopez obrador spent

his entire political life dreaming of this moment. narrowly beaten before, this was his time to receive the presidential sash and all of the pressures and responsibilities that come with it. addressing the gathered dignitaries, he didn't shy away from attacking his predecessor who sat uncomfortably nearby. translation: make political power and economic power have nourished and economic power have nourished and fed each other and the theft of people's goods and the wealth of the nation has been implanted as a modus operandi. he repeated his intention to end impunity but also said he will give politicians a clean start —— including those accused of corruption. that is the kind of inconsistency that frustrates some about lopez obrador and ensures he may have short honeymoon period. the start of this president ‘s reign

they are prepared to overlook the shortcomings of his predecessor. i think we are all going to be quite demanding with him. translation: we will want immediate results so we will have to realise it won't work like that and we will have to wait. translation: i think there will be six years in which we will be watching him, demanding he do things in the right weight but we also have to do our part to help. —— in the right way. now officially mexico's president, he took to the stage to receive the blessing of the country's indigenous people. because this moment the fourth transformation of mexico, comparing it to the independence or the revolution. it is a lofty ambition and won't be easy to achieve but for and won't be easy to achieve but for a man who believes he was born for thisjob, the a man who believes he was born for this job, the reality a man who believes he was born for thisjob, the reality of a man who believes he was born for this job, the reality of governing now believe —— begins in earnest. stay with us on bbc news, still to come:

earlier i spoke to country music stary larry 6atlin and a friend of george bush senior. i spoke to him on his tour bus in indiana and i asked him how they first met. i was 16 years old and we lived in west texas in the middle of what they called the of west texas oilfields and the bush family lived at 20 miles away. president bush, then just 6eorge, was running for congress and we were doing a fundraiser over in odessa. my brothers and my sister sang a few songs and supporters ate barbecue and drink beer and told stories and then george and his wife

barbara, they gave a wonderful speech as to why he thought he would appreciate their support and that was the first time we met them. 18 years later when he lost that election, by the way, for the congress, but 18 years later when he and president reagan were elected i walked over to him. we were celebrating their victory and i walked over, on my way he said hey, you are one of those snobby nose little 6atlin boys i met 20 years ago! we had a little success in the meantime but this was the first time we had met since. we are old and dear friends and it was a great loss to our country but it was a life well lived, one that was a blessing to many people. i have written an op—ed and i said dear reader, president george bush

was the finest man. i have never met a finer man in my life and neither have you. that is the way our family feel about them. they are wonderful people and they will be missed. it sounds in many ways like you watched the career of george hw bush from when you knew him in childhood to when you later on reconnected. what would you say your best memory is of him? we were invited to go out with them on different occasions. we played golf. i have a picture of president bush and my son when he was about 12 years old and they are holding up a fish. we decided to go see the little town and we went there and it took about three minutes to see this entire small town. we missed a great fishing trip with my son and president bush. we went on cruises with them. can you see the bus rattling?

wonderful people and to watch him watch his son be inaugurated as the 43rd president and just to see his humanity. a friend of mine, another transplanted texan, he was the head football coach for many years at the university of texas. he had a saying. you can tell what kind of person someone really is by the way they treat the people who can not do anything for them. i love that about president george bush. he treated everybody as a neighbour and as a friend. whether you could help him vote for him or not he treated you like a man or a woman with dignity and i miss him already. we did not realise you were speaking to us from a tour bus so thank you for taking the time.

i wanted to know if you have been in touch with the family and how they are coping? i have spoken to some of them but not yet with his sons or his wife. —— their wives. but the celebration of his life in houston on december six, i believe that my brothers and i will be in oklahoma city on the fifth and as fate would have it, we will be at the old bush family home for a concert on the sixth so we will get up early, fly out to see our friends and then get out to our performance that evening. but... anything you do for that nice family, it does not feel like you are going out of your way because they are worthy

of our love and respect and our condolences. the good book says that the angels rejoice at the death of a saint. he may not have exactly been a saint but he was a good old boy. the top us naval officer in the middle east has been found dead at his home in bahrain. vice admiral scott stearney was commander of the fifth fleet, which is responsible for all us navy forces in the gulf region. he took over as commander last may and had thirty—six years of service in the navy. an egyptian film star is to be put on trial over the dress she wore to the cairo film festival. rania youssef has been accused by a group of lawyers of obscenity. there was widespread criticism of this outfit

on egyptian social media. but some defended the actor's right to wear what she liked. rania youssef herself has issued an apology, saying she wouldn't have worn the dress if she'd known it would cause such controversy. the bollywood star priyanka chopra has married us singer nickjonas in india. the couple were wed in a christian ceremony inside a palace in the city of jodhpur, reportedly officiated by the groom's father. priyanka chopra is one of bollywood's biggest female leads and her husband is a singer and former disney star. they plan to hold a traditional hindu wedding on sunday. raj and pablo from the bbc asian network popped into the studio a little earlier and spoke to me about the couple and their own friendship with priyanka. ever since she started and we have interviewed her many times, we have become friends. we have become friends. we've even stayed at her house. pablo is madly in love with her. he is brokenhearted.

every time i met her i said, will you marry me? it's a running joke. she is off the market now. it's absolutely wonderful, magical. wedding of the century. bollywood meets hollywood. two of the most gorgeous people on the planet, two superstars together. if you think about what nick has achieved and what priyanka has achieved outside of bollywood on an international level, it's a huge deal. these guys are going to be big. in terms of the coverage they are going to get, hello has got the deal for their pictures. it is going to be massive for priyanka. one of the things about priyanka, she is down to earth and family oriented. it's magical to see them together. they are from two very different cultures. his family is from texas and they are quite orthodox catholics.

but they are quite traditional. priyanka chopra is from a hindu background. priyanka has been educated in new york, she is kind of quite au fait with multicultural, just in terms of accepting other faiths and i think parents, especially her mother and her brother. her dad has passed away. they are quite like, if this is what is going to make you happy, good for you. hinduism is very open to different cultures. with bollywood, you have christian families. hindu families. everyone gets together. they posted some pictures we have seen of some of the prep. some of the comments. bringing families together. they seem to be nodding to those two parts. this assimilation, where it is kind of an acceptance.

if you look at priyanka's career, it's gone from just being in bollywood and doing quantico and then going to hollywood. and her accepting the fact... it is almost like an education. if i want to marry someone who is non—asian, this is why. it's almost like an education. if you think of the catholic tradition, it's all about large families and the wedding as well, it is centred around the family and that is what indian culture is about. if you look at some of the pictures of social networking, priyanka has pictures of her and her mother—in—law everywhere and it's quite heartwarming. do you think that she is the first truly global superstar? going back about six years ago, she took a big decision. she was at the top of the profession in bollywood and decided, i want to break

the hollywood market. she said, should i do it? you are going to be the new sophia loren. she was a world superstar and that is what priyanka is becoming. before we go, just to remind you — it is one of boxing's biggest fights of the year. it is happening right now and is quite an exciting bout so far. these two men, america's deontay wilder and the uk's tyson fury, are fighting it out in los angeles for a heavyweight world title fight. both men are unbeaten. wilder holds the wbc belt — fury held multiple versions of the title before taking two years out from the sport with a doping ban and personal issues. we will bring you the details when

across scotland perhaps some snow across the mountains early on monday that is pretty much it. to the south there is rain pushing through. if you are heading to work early on monday, take a umbrella just in case. there will be some rain at some point or another. in the afternoon, it may clear up across northern and western areas. 13 degrees in london on monday. from tuesday it stays mild, further north a cool snap for a while on tuesday and wednesday and possibly picking up again towards the end of the week. this is bbc news, the headlines: the us president donald trump and his chinese counterpart xijinping have agreed to halt new trade tariffs for 90 days to allow for talks. the two men met in buenos aires after the 620 summit for their first talks since a trade war erupted this year. the french president, emmanuel macron, has condemned violence in paris during nationwide anti—government protests. more than 260 people have been detained. the so—called ‘yellow vest‘ movement
