open, they were greeted by the reuters colleagues, put into a car and taken reuters colleagues, put into a car and ta ken away. reuters colleagues, put into a car and taken away. this is something people had been hoping for but by no means had expected it. it's come finally as part of a pardon here from the government. for the past 18 months the government has refused anything to do about it or support these journalists or free them in any way. that'll change this morning and they have been reunited with theirfamilies behind and they have been reunited with their families behind closed and they have been reunited with theirfamilies behind closed doors. remained us, nick, about what they we re remained us, nick, about what they were found guilty of? they were given seven yea rs were found guilty of? they were given seven years in jail for breaking the official secrets act, but they were reporting, won't they do mark on the ranger crisis? —— they were reporting, wednesday? reuters went ahead with the publication on the rohingya prices down market prices, they won a pulitzer prize. they exposed the

killing of rohingya men in the arcane state. —— rakine state. extraordinary reporting, but they we re extraordinary reporting, but they were jailed for seven years as traitors for breaking the official secrets act. many people in the am i didn't support them, because the welders gained huge attention, it was seen as welders gained huge attention, it was seen as the personification of abuse against press freedom, going for journalist abuse against press freedom, going forjournalist simply abuse against press freedom, going for journalist simply doing abuse against press freedom, going forjournalist simply doing their jobs —— across the world it gained huge attention. more democracy and war journalist have been huge attention. more democracy and warjournalist have been detained, so warjournalist have been detained, so there are warjournalist have been detained, so there are concerns warjournalist have been detained, so there are concerns about on song suit she's country. -- now,

congratulations have been pouring in from all over the world, following the birth of baby sussex, the son of the birth of baby sussex, the son of the duke and duchess of sussex. as harry and his wife meghan plan to celebrate the arrival privately before revealing the new son to the public ina before revealing the new son to the public in a few days' time. you can imagine the excitement, let's talk to my colleague who is at buckingham palace. good morning, gita. this time yesterday we didn't know he'd actually been born, tell us more about this — the celebrations following his arrival. morning. absolutely. the light is just coming up absolutely. the light is just coming up here at buckingham palace, it's all quiet, there are some police

just over there standing by that easel with the royal announcement. as you say, the baby is almost one—day—old, born at 5:26 am yesterday morning, i imagine the royal household, possibly the pa rents a re royal household, possibly the parents are awake with the new baby at the moment in the early hours, often crucial in these first few days of course. lots of excitement around the country and across the world. twitter has seen so many m essa g es of world. twitter has seen so many messages of celebration and congratulations to the new couple. there is a real sense of wondering what does this baby look like? what is going to be cold? what kind of life isn't going to lead? how much of the royal life is going to lead us of the royal life is going to lead us to mark that is going to be indicated when we get the official title of the royal baby, will it be in hrh? a lot of speculation, as you can imagine about the godparents, let's get some of the latest now. news of ba by

let's get some of the latest now. news of baby sussex's birth has been disseminated far and wide from the busy tower in central london to the broadcast media of many countries. it is official, it is a boy! the royal family has welcomed a new member with meghan markle giving birth to a baby boy. breaking news, prince harry hasjust made the announcement, it is a boy. but of baby sussex, there has been no sign. it is reported meghan markle went to hospital to have the birth induced, dashing hopes of a home birth. but a does make an announcement from prince harry announced that seeing the baby would happen soon. now the pa rents the baby would happen soon. now the parents have to decide on a name and whether they want their son to have a royal title. as a great—grandson ofa a royal title. as a great—grandson of a monarch, a royal title. as a great—grandson ofa monarch, he a royal title. as a great—grandson of a monarch, he doesn't get one automatically, but these modern

roles feel that the life of this anglo—american member of the british royalfamily anglo—american member of the british royal family would be easier without one. they have time to think about that. well, some of the betting at the moment is on names like arthur, alexander, james, charles, philip, have the knowledge to others in the royal family. what about spencer? on diana's side, could that be a middle name or a penultimate name for the ba by‘s surname. name or a penultimate name for the baby's surname. one of my favourite yesterday was perhaps we should call the baby brexit so we can say we have safely delivered exit and move forward as a country. but, perhaps without political theme continuing, jesse jackson said yesterday that he thought very much that this was a significant barrier, the first baby within the african—american tradition that is part of this ba by‘s tradition that is part of this baby's heritage, tradition that is part of this ba by‘s heritage, of tradition that is part of this baby's heritage, of course, with mixed—race parentage in its many

hats now, a realfirst for modern royal family hats now, a realfirst for modern royalfamily here, hats now, a realfirst for modern royal family here, and hats now, a realfirst for modern royalfamily here, and i imagine pa rt royalfamily here, and i imagine part of the global appeal of this new family and baby sussex as we see those pictures emerging in the coming hours and days. thank you gita foran coming hours and days. thank you gita for an hour. many of you have beenin gita for an hour. many of you have been in touch to hashtag bbc the briefing for your suggestions for names. quite a few are agreeing with what gita mentioned, spencer, with prince harry's late mother. we have one viewer here who says "alfred, i think it's time for another alfred the great. " we have too many line hats in —— gita in parliament. let's see what else is in the news. tu rkey‘s see what else is in the news. turkey's electric commission has offered a rerun for the election of

the mary in istanbul. president richard tyer berta one —— one mark protests have broken out in some turkish district, commented saying that does make commentators —— commentators saying that the democratic process in turkey has ended. and, in america, william barr may face contempt proceedings regarding the mueller report. juan guaido is asking the us to launch a military dimension following his failed attempt to spark a rebellion last week does make intervention. he says he will evaluate all options as he plans to oust president majuro

from power. tiger woods has been presented with the presidential medal of freedom. the accolade is the highest american civilian honour for contributions to national security, world peace or cultural achievement. tiger woods is the fourth golfer to receive it. he won the masters in april, is first title in11 the masters in april, is first title in 11 years does make his first. let's stay with the us. our top story today is the trade negotiator for president trump, that's robert lighthizer, he is accused china of backtracking on committees, commitments. he also confirmed president trump is my threat to double tariffs. we haven't seen a dramatic reaction, though, which some would argue is good. we have lawrence gosling with us. good

morning. good morning. give us your ta ke morning. good morning. give us your take on the latest move on the part of the white house, what are they up to as trade negotiators get together for the end of the week? it looks like president trump's brinkmanship again. he put out yesterday claims that the us success of the economy in the last few months was as a result of the tariffs. i think that's arguable, really, i don't think many economists would agree with that. it was getting to the crunch point and it feels like with president trump we always have to have a bit of a big face—off before we get a clear decision on anything. exerting pressure on the trade negotiators because we had steve menu can and robert lighthizer in beijing last week does make steve menu can, then meeting the same sort of people, is it the sort of upping the yancey to make sure they get a

deal signed? —— mnuchin. the yancey to make sure they get a deal signed? -- mnuchin. we never really hear the full story, we are only getting the us side of the story. but the way it was going, the markets we are assuming that the deal would be kind of rough rebalanced in favour of both countries —— roughly balanced. clearly the americans wanted to come down in theirfavour so it looks like they have won this round of negotiations. the increase in the ta riffs negotiations. the increase in the tariffs could have a big impact, couldn't it? it could have a big impact on key industries, we saw strong employment figures last week, so strong employment figures last week, so it might not back there economic growth that president trump has been raising so strongly. i like your suggestion for baby names, lawrence just a bit later. so much more to come, including the brightest stars

reveal their campest looks at the annual met gala in new york. we'll have all of the latest from that too. i, nelson rolihlahla mandela, do hereby swear to be faithful to the republic of south africa. after six years of construction and numerous delays, the channel tunnel has been formally opened by the queen and president mitterand. but the tunnel is still not yet ready for passengers and freight services to begin. for centuries, christianity and islam struggled for supremacy. now, the pope's visit symbolises their willingness to coexist. roger bannister became the first man in the world to run a mile in under four minutes. memories of victory as the ve celebrations reach their climax. this night is dedicated to everyone who believes in the future of peace and freedom.
