you're watching beyond 100 days. the uk defies washington, allowing a big chinese company to work on britain's 56 network. the us says huawei is a threat to western intelligence and has urged allies not to do business with them. even some cabinet ministers fear this is the wrong choice, and siding with china on this could strain the special relationship. the death toll from sri lanka's easter sunday attacks rises to nearly 360. officials say one of the bombers studied in the uk. also on the programme: leaders from the uk and ireland attend the funeral of journalist lyra mckee. the priest holding her service has a challenge for politicians.

why in god's name does it take the death of a 29—year—old woman with her whole life in front of her... and north korea's kimjong un gets a vip welcome as he arrives in russia for a summit with president putin. talks get under way tomorrow. hello and welcome, i'm katty kay in washington and matthew price is in london. in the new arms race, tech replaces tanks and britain appears to have just chosen china over the united states. london's reported decision to allow the world's biggest producer of telecoms equipment, huawei, a chinese company, an albeit limited role in building parts of its future 56 network puts the uk directly at odds with washington. the 56 system offers much faster data speeds and it will revolutionise many industries and networks. control of that system brings a lot of power.

washington fears the chinese state will use huawei's technology to spy on its global competitors. our security correspondent gordon corera has more. the new world of 56 technology promises to transform our lives, connecting millions of devices and enabling everything from driverless cars to smart homes. but it also poses a major security question — should a chinese company be the one to deliver this future? huawei may be best known to most people for making phones, but it's also a leading player in building the infrastructure for all our communications. critics fear that allowing it to build 56 could enable the chinese state to spy on — or even switch off — the flow of data we will all depend on. despite some ministers raising concerns, a meeting of the uk's national security council yesterday appears to have given huawei the green light. speaking to me at a conference in glasgow, the uk's top cyber

security official suggested the risks from huawei can be managed. whatever final decision ministers reach, we can be confident that it will be a sufficiently tough and demanding oversight regime for all the suppliers, and for our telecommunications networks as a whole. here in glasgow, representatives of the five eyes intelligence alliance are making a rare public appearance. but behind this very public show of unity, there are real divisions about how to deal with huawei, with the us and australia having already decided to exclude the company, and now the uk appearing to look to take a different approach. huawei being a company that has to be responsive to their intelligence and military needs presents a threat. and as for five eyes, we're united that that's a threat. so you will see us draw a line and say they can't be

in our sensitive networks. the discussions that are going on right now is, where do you draw the line on what's a sensitive network? the expectation is the uk will exclude huawei from the most sensitive core of the new network, but that will not allay all of the concerns. the company itself denies it poses any security risk, as its founder told the bbc earlier this year. translation: we will never undertake any spying activities, and we will never accept anyone's instructions to install a back door. dealing with huawei is about more than one company. it's about how western countries deal with the rise of china and the spread of its technology, and the uk's decision is one that will be closely watched at home and abroad. gordon corera, bbc news. and joining me now is the director of the alliance for securing democracy, laura rosenberger who formerly served on the national

security council. thank you for coming in. first of all, is the uk government right when it says it is going to ask huawei to work on some of this but it is going to limit its involvement in the process. is that a satisfactory security response? i do not believe it is satisfactory. i am not a technical expert myself but i have done a lot of studying with technical experts and a lot of conversation with security experts as well. the challenge is that the way technology is constructed, there is real questions. one is about how you can contain certain things to parts of a network and also, it is really important to note that 5g is going to enable an enormous amount of technological change and development on top of it. it is not just about the 5g capabilities themselves but what is going to follow. i think when we look at the

direction china is taking with the development of many of its technologies, i think there is real questions about whether that is the future the uk wants for its systems. how disappointed bell officials here in washington be that the uk has decided to side with china and not with washington over this? we know australia has already sided with the united states. that is right and i think there will be disappointment in parts of washington. i would say candidly it is not a total surprise this is the decision. i think there has been a lot of signs coming. will they get excluded from some intelligence sharing we have had access to suffice because of this? it is time for me to speculate on this because i'm not in the administration and i cannot say for sure what direction they will go. i hope we can find a way do not have to go down that path. the implications of having to scale back on intelligence sharing would have massive consequences for our

security, for translating security more broadly, and i think that is something we should try to contain. ido something we should try to contain. i do really think we are going to face some serious challenges as we begin to look at the very direct applications here. the other point i would make as it is notjust the five eyes having these debates about whether to allow 5g and huawei into their 5g networks, other countries are having similar conversations. germany prominently as having similar conversations. in a lot of countries are looking to what others are doing and i worried that the signal the uk is sending to other countries is that this is not really a concern. the unfortunate reality is we know from the uk's own oversight board that reports from the national security adviser, they found serious and systemic defects in huawei's cyber security structure. it is a cause for concern. structure. it is a cause for concern. it is notjust the chinese,

menial others wanted to use the syste m menial others wanted to use the system to spy on people and companies. that gchq goes further than the americans and is comfortable in doing so. that is a pipeline into analysing all sorts of data flows. isn't there something of hypocrisy in this? i glad -- i'm glad you asked the question. i would know there are a number of reforms undertaken in the united states following the disclosures from edward snowden. i would also note that both the us intelligence service and the uk intelligence service and the uk intelligence service are bound by the rule of law and there are legal structures that are in place around what can and cannot be shared with the intelligence community, and they are quite clearly prescribed. do not think we see the same kinds of in an

authoritarian state led by the chinese communist party in beijing. i think we have to think about the nature of the legal frameworks they are. i also do not believe this is just about spying. this is about the security back to its intentionally but also the broad based platform it will provide for all technological developments that will come on top of these networks in the decades to come. thank you very much for joining us. this is fascinating, it is about technology, our futures and the uk being torn between china and washington at this very critical moment as it prepares to leave the european union and the pressures thatis european union and the pressures that is putting on the uk government to come up with trade deals potentially with china as well. there is the risk britain gets excluded from some forms of intelligence sharing that have been valuable to us and to britain's standing in the world. the death toll from

the devastating attacks that ripped through sri lanka on easter sunday has continued to rise, with 359 people now known to have died and 500 injured. most of the victims were sri lankan nationals attending church for the day's holy service, but a number of foreign tourists were also killed. since sunday sri lanka's government has acknowledged major lapses over its failure to prevent the attacks, which have been claimed by the islamic state group. security forces have so far arrested 58 people. clive myrie has this report. investigators say in this upmarket corner of colombo lurked an islamist terror cell. a car outside has been dusted for fingerprints. and inside, forensic experts hunt for clues to shed light on sri lanka's easter sunday carnage. one of the men who lived here is ilham ibrahim, caught with an accomplice on cctv, minutes before a powerful explosion left several dead at the shangri—la hotel. investigations quickly led police

back to ilham ibrahim's home. but as they stormed the building, it's believed his pregnant wife detonated a device, killing her and three children, and three police officers died. it's now believed two other ibrahim brothers were also involved in sunday's massacres. today, the deputy defence minister revealed more details of all the bombers, including one man named abdul lathief jameel mohamed. we believe that one of the suicide bombers studied in the uk and then maybe later on, did his postgraduate in australia, before coming back to settle in sri lanka. most of them are well educated and come from maybe middle or upper—middle class. mourning for the majority christians who died isn't confined to the catholic church. in the city of negombo, at the grand mosque, prayers have, for days,

included thoughts for the hundreds killed in the name of a perverted islam. the rituals remain the same, but something's changed here now. there's an undercurrent of fear that there might be christian reprisals, in a city that's enjoyed so many years of interreligious harmony. "not in our name," say the trustees of the mosque, denouncing the bombers as enemies of theirfaith. maybe their names may be muslims, but we won't accept them. we won't accept them as a muslim. a short walk from the mosque, more of the dead await burial. in this house, a woman in her 70s, her daughter, aged 52, and another woman in her 60s. christian lives cut short.

so many died that easter sunday, the funerals are being staggered. it's a continuing process of remembrance, in a land where the only viable future for its multi—religious and ethnic population is to try to live in peace. there are so many sad angles to the story. unicef have now revised a total of the number of children killed 2&6, total of the number of children killed 246, the youngest 818 —month—old child. —— two 46 children. and the youngest is 818 —month—old child. back to the white house. here are just two — get older voters motivated and get minority voters motivated. a new poll suggests former

vice presidentjoe biden gives the democrats their best shot at doing just that. which is why, tomorrow mr biden will announce his third, yes his third, bid for the presidency. and when he does, this well known 76 year old, is expected to go straight to the front of the pack. one of the big questions he will have to address is whether he thinks democrats should move to impeach donald trump. today the president hit back at democratic attempts to interview white house aids and subpoena documents. we are fighting all the subpoenas. these are not impartial people. the democrats are trying to win 2020. they are not going to win with the people i see and they are not going to win against me. the only way they can luck out is by constantly going after me on nonsense. joining us now from boston is democratic strategist mary anne marsh. have the tables been set for the next two years where democrats in congress issued subpoenas, try to interview people from the white house and the president hits back saying you cannot have any of it and we get into protracted legal fight?

there is no question that is going to happen but i think it is the wrong strategy for tramp and a better strategy for democrats. the more tramp delays, the more american people will learn what donald trump did in this process and frankly the more damning evidence against trump could come out closer to the election especially with some of the 14 cases that robert muller has refer to other quotes, including wikileaks. i think that could come out closer to the election and really hurt trump. the american people have learnt much more about him and none of it favourable. but since the mueller report came out. should the majority of americans do not favour impeaching the president. and in this legal process did not get to hearfrom people because a still being part in the court and what do they can out of this? trump

has lost five points already. most americans are not going to read a 444 page report like i did and others have. that is why having hearings and educating people about it, the more they learn the less they are going to like trump. second, i think it is a false choice to say you have these hearings that may you try to beat him at the ballot box. one of the most concerning elements in the mueller report is about the lack of security in our election system. it says the russians did breach florida's election system and all 50 states we re election system and all 50 states were targeted. and mueller referred that investigation to the department of homeland security and the fbi. what are they doing with it? what is going on? we loaned kirsten iestyn “ we going on? we loaned kirsten iestyn — — we learnt going on? we loaned kirsten iestyn —— we learnt kirsten nelson was told not to do anything with trump. i am just as concerned about the security

of our election is affecting the outcome because it was a cyber hack more than anything else. i think you have to do both, have the hearings and secure our elections if you're going to try to beat donald trump. let's look at the other big story, the democrats are rapidly expanding the democrats are rapidly expanding the field of candidates. even before joe biden jumps into the field of candidates. even before joe bidenjumps into this race, bernie sanders on 20%. by the democrats at danger of sending mixed messages. they have a credibly diverse fields and there they are, to white men in their mid—70s leading the pulling. the latest numbers show you how far biden and bernie saunders have already dropped since this race started. the are put to well— known national since this race started. the are put to well—known national figures but neither one them have ever won the democratic nomination another one

has had a history of appealing to women voters of colour which is the driving force behind the democratic party. they will be determining not only who the nominees are but winning the general election. for them, the only place they have to go is down and that is where they are going right now. 0k, thank you very much. i hope we can get you back over the quest of this very long election campaign. we are still a year and election campaign. we are still a yearand a election campaign. we are still a year and a half out which has to make you wonder how much relevance these polls have at the moment but you are right in pointing out that at the front of the pack is joe biden and bernie saunders. perhaps joe biden because people know his name and there will be some of those 20 people had never heard of. those pools do change. british and irish political leaders havejoined mourners from across northern ireland's political divide at the funeral of a young journalist killed by a dissident republican paramilitary group.

lyra mckee, aged 29, was shot in the head last thursday as rioters clashed with police in the city of londonderry. emma vardy has this report. a modern victim of political violence that many hoped was in the past. thousands lined the streets for lyra mckee, her death uniting protestants and catholics and political rivals. side by side, the leaders of the democratic unionist party and sinn fein. united in their condemnation of the events which led to lyra mckee's death. theresa may and labour leader jeremy corbynjoined ireland's president and prime minister. lyra was a person who broke down barriers and reached across boundaries. this was her hallmark in life. and this is her legacy in death. lyra is many things to many people. tributes were paid to lyra mckee for her writing and her activism. she campaigned for peace and gay rights and today,

her family appealed for people to embrace her vision for change. we have the power to create the kind of society that lyra envisioned. one where labels are meaningless. and a plea to political leaders. why, in god's name, does it take the death of a 29—year—old woman with her whole life in front of her? more than two years since the breakdown of power—sharing in northern ireland, a call for them to show this same unity and government. i dare to hope that lyra's murder on holy thursday evening can be the doorway to a new beginning.

and i detect a deep desire for this. 21 years after the good friday agreement, lyra mckee's death has prompted a backlash against modern day dissident republicans who still try to take northern ireland back to its violent past. the shock of lyra mckee's death has been felt widely, but there is also a sense of hope here that it can bring a new turning point, which helps northern ireland move forward. it is a thing of the past, it is ridiculous. it is a small minority holding the whole country to ransom, or trying to do it. the young girl has lost her life and i hope there is no more. no more lose their lives after this. if people would only rise up in this country. the celebration of lyra's life, also a reminder of how much northern ireland has to lose.

i know you have been speaking to some of labour's friend about that sense of help, did they feel that? —— labour's friends. sense of help, did they feel that? -- labour's friends. they felt incredible sadness at her death and her age. what was fascinating talking to them were the sort of story she walked on —— worked on we re story she walked on —— worked on were deep stories into the collective trauma that northern ireland continues to feel. we talked about 21 years of the peace process and are still great trauma in that society. lyra mckee was writing about suicide rates, notjust people that witness the trouble is a quarter of a century ago, but the children and grandchildren. she was focused on what politicians have to do to create a better society. i think that is why father magill‘s words resonated today. there must be

some hope that some good can come of her death at such a young age. she was just a her death at such a young age. she wasjust a child her death at such a young age. she was just a child when the good friday agreement was signed. at least 60 people have been killed after heavy rains and flooding in the south african city of durban and the wider province. more than a thousand people have been displaced, according to president cyril ramaphosa, who has flown into the region to visit the affected areas. a six—month—old baby and a young child are among the dead. scotland's first minister says she wants to hold another independence referendum by 2021 if the country is taken out of the eu. nicola sturgeon told holyrood that brexit threatened to sideline the uk, and that scotland deserved the chance to become an independent european nation. fans of the basic art app microsoft paint are celebrating after the company confirmed it would remain a part of the windows operation system — for now at least. the software giant first announced plans to scrap the programme in 2017, but it's now confirmed it will be part of the next windows 10 update.

i think ithinki i think i need all the help because iama bad i think i need all the help because i am a bad artist that would help me. it must be a disappointing to be a fielder — and fail to stop the ball in a cricket match. as if that wasn't punishment enough — this is the moment the man in question is then accidentally hit by his own teammate by the same ball — during spondon cricket club's fifth team's game against kirkby portland. but has now been viewed more than 2.5 million times on twitter. probably the perils of filming sport. good on the cricket club for sending it out and getting a laugh. i hope the guy was not too bad they

hurt because he has become the but of ourjokes. presumably this is the moment where our viewers in america wonder again why british sports athletes do not wear padding. if this was baseball he would get off a bit more likely. he would have padding but you don't get that in cricket and those polls are hard. do not want to get under way of them. —— balls. not want to get under way of them. -- balls. a man who sounds like he knows what he is talking about. i will not be asking about your cricketing past. this is beyond one hundred days from the bbc. coming up for viewers on the bbc news channel and bbc world news — one of the 19 candidates competing for the democratic 2020 nomination joins us live to discuss how he intends to stand out in a crowded field. and north korea's kim jong—un arrives in russia ahead of tomorrow's historic meeting

with president putin. that's still to come. hello, good evening. most places we re hello, good evening. most places were cooler today and there were some wet weather around. one part of the country that mist the wet weather was here in suffolk where there was some sunshine. the rain was pelting down in staffordshire. the wetter weather is moving away and things will be drying off for a while with skies turning to clear. we have got some downpours across northern ireland for a while and then some further showers working your way up then some further showers working yourway up again then some further showers working your way up again for northern parts of france over the channel into england and wales. pretty mild overnight, not cold as it was last night for scotland and northern ireland. over the next few days it

will be on the cooler side and we will be on the cooler side and we will not see those temperatures above 20 degrees for a while. there will be somewhat wet weather and the potential for thunderstorms too. all the heat has been pushed away into eastern parts of europe and we are drawing down cooler air from the atla ntic drawing down cooler air from the atlantic and pressure is lowering hence the wet weather we are seeing. but there morning, for the rush hour we have got wet weather and showers. wet weather coming from france. going into east anglia and parts of the midlands and arriving in northern england, that ring can be heavy and it could be thunderstorms in there as well. away from here it is broadly speaking a day of sunshine and showers. some sharp showers and if you arriving in scotla nd showers and if you arriving in scotland and northern ireland where are around 13 — 60 degrees. we may see some more sunshine across the south of england and east anglia but this temperature are where they should be for this time of year. low pressure is going to dominate our weather for the rest of this week.

the centre of which is probably going to bt the south—west of the uk and we will see wetter weather pushing its way northwards. some sunshine on friday but showers will develop quickly in england and wales, some heavy thundery downpours are not as many showers as scotland and northern ireland. —— not as many showers in scotland and northern ireland. some wet weather and an area of the pressure arrives on saturday. it will be cool, wet and windy. much drier weather and better weather on the way for the london marathon on sunday. goodbye.

this is beyond 100 days with me katty kay in washington, matthew price is in london. our top stories. huawei — the chinese telecoms giant — welcomes reports that the uk will let it help build britain's 5g data network. the us say it's a threat to western intelligence. the number of dead after sri lanka's easter sunday attacks rises to nearly 360 — one of the bombers studied in the uk. coming up in the next half hour... the plane—maker boeing withdraws its profits forecast for this year — after two fatal crashes force it to ground the 737—max aircraft. think you know your dictionary inside out? we test matthew on the latest lingo — there are 640 new words to choose from.

thank you, a never humiliating tests to look forward to! —— another. while joe biden has yet to announce his candidacy for president, some democrats have been running to take on donald trump for years — literally years. john delaney is one of them. he was the first of the 19 people to throw his hat in the ring. joe biden will be the 20th. the former congressman from maryland declared in july 2017. he has visited all 99 counties in the critical state of iowa with a mesage of bringing the country together to achieve success. congressman delaneyjoins us now. thanks forjoining us. it's great to be here. i have covered five american presidential elections, it's a gruelling process. why have

you been running for so long? why are you doing this to yourself?” obviously think i'm the right person for the job, i believe obviously think i'm the right person forthejob, i believe i have obviously think i'm the right person for the job, i believe i have the right vision for this country but not enough people knew who i was so the way i solve that problem is by getting in early and doing more work than everyone else which i have done and it is working. open to all 99 counties in iowa, been endorsed by four of those county chairs, no other candidates have been endorsed by other county chairs. we have a strong ground game in iowa, eight offices opened up. you believe you could be the democratic nominee? absolutely. what i am running on is what this country needs. what you are running on is a belief that american voters are basically centrist which is received with them. yet we hear the democratic party is moving to the left. are you in step with your party?” party is moving to the left. are you in step with your party? i believe i am in step with the voters in the party. there is no question many of

the 18, 20, however many people are running against are moving to the left, they are orienting themselves towards the twitter world, if you will, though it tends to be more activist and there is energy on the far left of the party but that is not how we win. that is not wholly beat donald trump. that is not how we govern. “— beat donald trump. that is not how we govern. —— how we beat. beat donald trump. that is not how we govern. -- how we beat. you focus on bipartisanship, parties together. this is not just on bipartisanship, parties together. this is notjust edging the united states, in lots of countries in britain, western europe, there are problems of bringing the main parties together, had you intend to do that, what is your recipe? ! how do that, what is your recipe? ! how do you. leadership. it is a leader that doesn't covers half the country is wrong about everything they believe, someone with the responsibility as leaders to find that, ground, who doesn't think compromises a dirty word and

believes strongly in their bones that it believes strongly in their bones thatitis believes strongly in their bones that it is important for us to do things. we pay a huge price as a nation and a world, when we don't do things. the cost of doing nothing is not nothing. the problem with politics these days it is so broken and here in america we have a leader who tries to tell the american people that them and enemy is their fellow american. you lose to a divisive environment where our leaders get nothing done. it is leadership at the end of the day. let's focus on one aspect which would need a massive bipartisan effort if it were to be successful, climate change. it is something you are passionate about. i'm wondering whether you are in favour of time to introduce some sort of carbon tax in the united states and how you would get bipartisan support for a difficult issue. i introduce the

only bipartisan carbon tax bill in the congress in the united states. democrats and republicans came together with my leadership to introduce a carbon tax. we put a price on carbon and take the revenues and give it right back to the american people. it is a carbon tax dividend model. i believe i can get that done in my first us president and the way i will do that is getting every democrat in the congress to support it and getting the rub republicans in the congress who live in coastal states like florida, georgia and the carolinas. these republican members have to do something on climate because their constituents are demanding it. i think in terms of coalitions and that's the first thing i could do on climate. the second thing is get you to bipartisan support around a massive increase in basic research in creating a market for negative emissions technologies which are machines that pull carbon out of the atmosphere which are promising but don't have a market in this country. i want to need and effort around

innovation to empower the private sector to innovate the technologies that are scalable and cheap, that is bipartisan. bipartisanship is a means to an end, the end is getting things done. another policy question. we talked about the move to the left in the democratic party, health care. a big issue that won the house in the last midterms. many are saying there was should be a national health care system. you don't believe so. a single—payer health care system. single-payer is a terrible idea and we have evidence to support it. brits love it. americans like choices. 60—70%. i don't think the democrats did say we will take something you like. but there's a deeper pop with it. in the united states, we have two problems,

medicaid and medicare. medicaid only pays 80%, medicare pays 90%. private influences 120% up to. if you take all private insurance out of the marketplace and to have a government only payment system, ample evidence suggests the government never pays the cost of health care and that will result in reduction in quality and more access. sol will result in reduction in quality and more access. so i favour universal health care where everyone gets a government plan is a right. so we are in sync with other people in my party with that but i want them to have options, more of a mixed model, they can opt out with private insurance, supplemental plans to enhance it, that's a smarter way for universal health care. john delaney, good luck, you are now halfway through and i will see you on the trail. absolutely, thank you. after a 20 hour journey, kim jong un's bullet proof train pulled into vladivostock station on wednesday. the supreme leader of north korea

was in another town for another summit with another world power. he says he is looking forward to his first ever talks with russian president vladimir putin and hopes they can help quote "resolve sitatuations on the korean peninsula." since those situations involve nuclear weapons there is a lot of global interest in how this summit goes. the bbc‘s steve rosenberg sent this report from vladivostock. his armoured train had all but made it into vladivostok station, but somehow there was just enough time for a last—gasp spring cleaning by kim jong—un's staff. north korea clearly keen to make a good impression on russia. outside the station, kim was treated to a guard of honour. it's his first visit to russia. he's looking quite the statesman. two summits with donald trump have ensured that, even if they have failed to persuade north korea to give up its nuclear

weapons programme. the summit with president putin may produce more ceremony than substance, but if the two leaders are seen to get on, it'll be a diplomatic success for both of them. whenever there's a summit with kim jong—un at the table, we've kind of got used to the man sitting opposite being donald trump. but this time it will be vladimir putin and that puts the kremlin leader exactly where he wants to be — centre stage, with russia demonstrating that it is a global player. vladimir putin hasn't met kim jong—un before but he met his father, kimjong—il. as for this meeting, the kremlin has a clear message for america — you cannot solve the world's biggest problems without russia's help. steve rosenberg, bbc news, vladivostok. and you know, it's fascinating watching this muff are because

russia on because russia doesn't want an arm state on its border. they are carefully trying to engineer a way forward with the north korean situation is beyond yang have called it. but these trips are fascinating because they give it a glimpse into north korea and the way they do things. i want to see those pictures of the train being cleaned again. look out that. what's yourjob description, do you think? chief train cleaner? moving train cleaner. while the train is on the move. he stepped out of the train at one point and offers his black hat looking like he is an extra in a james bond movie. not even the extra, the key character. i don't know. you're right, we so rarely see

the leader of north korea travelling around that we are fascinated by these glimpses we get of him wherever we can and if you need a job a runner his cleaning trains, that's where to be. let's move on. as funerals take place in sri lanka for those killed after the devastating terror attacks in the country on easter sunday, a woman from manchester has been confirmed as the eighth british victim killed in the bombings. 55—year—old it director lorraine campbell was staying at the cinnamon grand hotel in colombo on a business trip when she died. her sun, mark, has paid tribute to his mother and described how the family lost contact with her. ijust want to bring my mum home and i want to give everyone who knew her, who had the opportunity to spend time with her and get to know her, like we all did, give them the opportunity to come together and celebrate this beautiful woman. heartbreaking. so many individual

stories of pain coming out. we do know quite a lot about the attack so far. one of whom was a woman. officials here have confirmed that one of the attackers studied in the uk. it's thought he then continued studying in australia. two of the bombers are reportedly brothers and the sons of a wealthy colombo spice trader. sri lanka's prime minister said the bombers belonged to a local islamist group called national thowheed jamath. although the islamic state group have claimed they coordinated the attack. so is there a link between the two? that's the question investigators are trying to answer. ina way, in a way, disclose open the whole range of big questions for people studying counterterrorism because how did the small group commit such an attack that was so devastating with no history of that, its history with no history of that, its history with vandalism in the country and

suddenly it is transformed into a terrifying and deadly terrorist group. out of that happen? we haven't seen that happen before a national security experts will watch it. it's why experts in the uk and us believes there must be some sort of link with the group that cause itself islamic state, either motivational links, certainly some sort of planning links, they talk in the last 24—hour is about how this attacks, coordinated attacks, large attacks, coordinated attacks, large attacks, complex explosive devices used, certainly large explosive devices use, but that fits the pattern of islamic state's so—called islamic state's inspired attempts in the past. so was the direct iso support for this or was ! islamic state support for this or was it tangential. worrying for sri

la nka was it tangential. worrying for sri lanka and around the world. and do you have to look at small—scale groups in other countries and how they could be recruited? for the past week the main news narrative when talking about the mueller report has been whether donald trump obstructed justice. the actual detail of the 448 pages of the report itself is dedicated to exploring a huge and complex story — russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. it is clear from the report that the trump campaign did try to get access to hillary clinton's emails. and while it doesn't resolve the question of coordination between the campaign and the release of hillary clinton's e—mails, it does say the wikileaks information dump did "undermine the clinton campaign." here to discuss this is kathleen halljamieson — the director of the annenberg public policy center at the university of pennsylvania and author of cyberwar. let me start for we get to the

mueller report with the news that the security adviser tries before she left office to raise russian interference in what america should do and was told by people around the president, don't talk about it around the president, he doesn't wa nt to around the president, he doesn't want to hear. how hard will it be to prevent this kind of engagement if we are not talking about it at the highest levels? the russian interventions, whether they change the outcome or not, create a perception of the president that the fa ct of perception of the president that the fact of the intervention meant he had to face questions of legitimacy about his presidency and now if this report is accurate, it may minimise the potential of coordination to prevent a requirements. so vladimir putin, school one. one of the things you have been looking at is whether journalists in the past have correctly handled material that was stolen by and then leaked by russia

and russian linked organisation. one example you point it is the third presidential debate in 2016, when one of the moderators asked about wikileaks that i want to play that so we know what we are talking about. in a speech you gave to a present on bank for which you are paid to hunting $25,000, we learn from wikileaks that you said this. my dream is a hemispheric common market with open trade and open borders. chris wallace there, the moderator, asked the question, we learn from wikileaks that you said this. you think that's the runway for the press to handle this kind of stolen material? —— wrong way. for the press to handle this kind of stolen material? -- wrong way. as we elected 2020, what happened to be journalistic norms that says you source your content and indicate what hasn't independently corroborated? that question should have said we learn from wikileaks, an outlet fronted byjulian sergey wa nt an outlet fronted byjulian sergey want to see hillary clinton defeated because he she would like him

prosecuted, this is the 19th. julian sands hacked by julian assange hacked by russians, and then another thing happens, the statement is taken out of context and that's not what hillary clinton said in context. as we look to 2020 and in fact, in plenty of other countries around the world weather is so much misinformation, what should media companies be doing, what sort of question should they be asking and in terms of evidence, if state m e nts asking and in terms of evidence, if statements are coming out of the mouth of a president, what does the media do with those statements of apparent fact in the way in donald trump is stating things? our

journalistic community needs to ask the question what would it have done differently effectively run 2016? it should ask shouldn't we source our content? we knew that was russian in origin, should we indicate the intermediary has a horse in a race, julian assange doesn't want to see hillary clinton elected, and independent corroboration, the clinton campaign never successfully contested but doesn't give journalists able to confirm it. then they need to ask is it newsworthy? being givena they need to ask is it newsworthy? being given a value on our minds, it's not really going to have in retrospect a lot of that reporting on wikileaks content doesn't hold up well if you asked was it really newsworthy. then they need to treat it with extreme care, at the end of the statement about open trade and borders, hillary clinton said sometime in the future and went on to talk about energy transfer. this

wasn't about open borders, letting immigrants, refugees come in, which is what donald trump made it out to be, it was a statement that was different. it was about the future, energy transfer, elapse on the part of reporters, it was actually in context when wikileaks reported the same. we need you there fact checking every appearance that the candidates make over the next 18 months! there will be a lot more of this. we are stainless need to have some ten protocols i think and procedures and discussions about how we deal with this new frontier of information in the way that we have editorial guidelines. for other things we report. this is beyond 100 days. still to come — hundreds of words are added to the dictionary to reflect the language we now use. i'll be testing matthew to find out whether he's down with the kids... ora dinosaur. the world health organization has advised that babies

and toddlers should not be left alone in front of a screen. what it calls sedentary screen time should not happen before a child is two. dominic hughes reports on the thinking behind the new advice. a mid—morning play date. in the background, the tv is on, but with the excitement of toys and friends, it goes unnoticed. i find that for him, at this age, he's just not really that interested. but screens, especially phones and tablets, are now a big part of everyday life. this report makes recommendations around activity levels, sleep and screen time, and on this last point, it recommends that for children under two, there should be no passive screen time at all. for children between two and four, it says limit screen time tojust an hour a day, and less is better. pretty colours! the report talks about sedentary screen time, when kids

are simply plonked in front of the tv or screen. it's my turn now. 0k. but some experts say that's too simplistic a view of what's going on and these mums agree. he doesn'tjust sit there and zone out, there's obviously things going on in his brain at the same time, so in that sense, it's quite useful. i don't know how we'd make the dinner and cook and clean if he didn't have something to watch. at age three, just running around the garden is is about as fun as it gets, and that's where concerns over screen time come from. being less active is related to weight gain and illness in later life. but parents get all sorts of advice, notjust on screens but on diet, sleep and exercise, but most feel they know what works for their kids. they want to be playing, they want to be outside. i can't get lyra inside some times! i think it's just balance, that's the most important thing more than anything, so... but that's just me! there are no plans to update official advice in the uk, which sets no screen time limits but recommends children avoid screens before bedtime.

dominic hughes, bbc news, stockport. first came two deadly air crashes, then the grounding of boeing's entire global fleet of 737 max eight planes. today we learnt the cost in dollars of all that. boeing's earnings in the first three months of the year fell by a fifth. the company annouced a one billion dollar drop in revenues due to the mass grounding. but over the last year, boeing's share price was up 16%, sharing in the fortunes of us stock prices as a whole, with wall street setting a record high at the end of trading yesterday. the bbc‘s michelle fleury in new york for us. lovely to see you. first on boeing. what does this mean for the company? you got a 100 and so you company facing one of the biggest challenges in its history. ——103—year—old. it does come out and said after these two plane crashes in five months,

which led to the grounding of its 737 max jets, it will have a billion in reduction, it doesn't include cost of fixing this, of compensating the airlines, or legal costs. all of that are still unknown at the company has suspended its annual hmmfi company has suspended its annual forecast and halted share buy—backs as it tries to conserve cash to deal with this. i will never understand markets because boeing's earnings are down but their share prices slightly up—to—date. the mysteries of the market for topped one of a mystery, we are at a decade—long bull market and a record high close yesterday? trump president detractors, so that they might, he is doing well for the stock market? he's frustrated talking about it today. he is saying why is he not getting credit, the stock market has

done the best ever is the word to use. there are a couple of things worth bearing in mind, stock market we saw in december had a wobble, when investors got incredibly nervous a global recession or slowdown was on the way. since then a couple of things have happened, the federal reserve have said it would keep interest rates low, but tends to help assets like stocks. the other thing is we are in the middle of companies telling investors how we are doing, some of those numbers, boeing aside, is better—than—expected and as a result, investors are taking it retro moment, and saying maybe things aren't bad as we thought. but conditions haven't changed that materially so it remains to be seen how long this ball upmarket can last. —— this bull market. how long this ball upmarket can last. -- this bull market. quiz time! it can be hard keeping up with the lingo du jour. to my knowledge, a snowflake was, until recently, an ice crystal. and that is one of the words that's had an updated definition alongside 640 new additions

to merriam—webster's dictionary. the question is, how many do you know, matthew? very few, i'm sure. kids, if you're watching at home, help dad out please. i've got the phone here, so text me. send him a letter, guys! no time for that. what does ‘swole' mean? that woozy feeling when you've talked about brexit to match. no. it means getting in shape. oh. how about buzzy? the next stage of the much brexit when you go nuts? no, it's when something has lots of buzz. 0k what's a bug—out bag? what you put your phone if you want the world intelligent agents to not spy the world intelligent agents to not spy on you! i won't tell you! we

wetter weather pushing its way northwards again. some sunshine to greet the day on friday but showers will develop and quickly in the south—west of england, developing widely for england and wales. again some sundry downpours, not as many showers for scotland and northern ireland and the tablet is 14—16. cloud coming into northern ireland, wet weather in an area of low pressure arrives on saturday. it will be cool, wet and windy, much drier weather and better weather on the way for the london marathon on sunday. goodbye.
