we re most of the shops owned by muslims were destroyed in a fire, which people here blame on hundreds of men who were armed with sticks and stones. they were almost wiped out by a virus. how this rare australian turtle was brought back from the edge of extinction. good morning. it is 7:00am in singapore, midnight in london and 8:00am in tokyo, where donald trump is beginning the final day of his four—day state visit to japan. earlier, he backed a possible face—to—face meeting betweenjapanese prime minister shinzo abe and kim jong—un, with mr abe saying he wants to have frank talks about north korea's nuclear policy and japanese abductees. on monday, mr trump became the first world leader to meet the country's new emperor. rupert wingfield—hayes

reports from tokyo. as the star—spangled banner rang out gci’oss as the star—spangled banner rang out across the imperial palace courtyard , across the imperial palace courtyard, the us president and first lady were formally welcomed by japan's new emperor naruhito and empress. mr trump is said to be mightily pleased that he is the first foreign leader to get this honour. the schoolchildren brought in to waive the flags looked a little less happy, thanks to the searing 32 degrees heat. but mr trump is not herejust for searing 32 degrees heat. but mr trump is not here just for the searing 32 degrees heat. but mr trump is not herejust for the pomp and circumstance. in his summit with prime minister shinzo abe, there was one topic on his mind — trade. prime minister shinzo abe, there was one topic on his mind - trade. we have an unbelievably large imbalance, as you know, trade imbalance, as you know, trade imbalance, which has been there for many, imbalance, which has been there for any imbalance, which has been there for many, many years, japan having the

big advantage, and put us in a very tough spot. but i think we will have a deal with japan. president trump is clearly delighted with the way he has been welcomed here injapan, but mrtrump is has been welcomed here injapan, but mr trump is still fundamentally a transactional politician. his message to his japanese friends here today was this. if you want this alliance to work, if you want to continue enjoying the protection of the us navy and the us air force, that you are going to have to start buying a lot more american—made stuff. tonight, at the imperial palace, president trump was toasted by emperor naruhito. this has been a very good trip for mr trump, but also for prime minister abe, who can now justifiably claim also for prime minister abe, who can nowjustifiably claim to be the american president's most trusted foreign friend. i am joined now by the bbc‘s mariko 0i in tokyo. apart from trade, north korea was

also discussed by both sides. is there a possibility, then, ofjapan — north korea summit? there a possibility, then, ofjapan - north korea summit? well, as you said, president trump has said that he fully supports prime minister shinzo abe's wish to meet kim jong—un. whether or not mr kim wants to be prime minister shinzo abe is another matter, given his previous comments about japan. been another matter, given his previous comments aboutjapan. been very vocal about the wartime passed between north korea and japan. there have also been some awkward moments, if you like, between president trump and prime minister abe, if you like, between president trump and prime ministerabe, despite if you like, between president trump and prime minister abe, despite the two leaders' emphasis on how close they are and how great friends they are. when president trump again said that he is not too bothered by that short—range missile that north korea fired, which of course prime minister abe has strongly condemned. but one thing that brought some hope to the japanese public is that president trump met the family members of the japanese nationals who were abducted by north korea backin

who were abducted by north korea back in the 1970s and 1980s, for the second time, which has never been done by any other us president. so that brought some hope to the japanese people that may be president trump will push that abduction matter with kim jong—un. this is the final day of president trump's four day state visit. what is on his agenda? well, he will be visiting the us base here injapan, as rupert mentioned. japan's constitution doesn't allow the country to have an army, so japan somewhat america's protection when it comes to threats like north korea. so he will be visiting the us base later today. it has been a very busy visit for president trump. it has been very interesting to see the japanese public‘s reaction to this rather lavish state visit. some of very critical of the japanese government for spending so much money by bringing him to the sumo tournament, making an exception for him to sit on a chair, and president

trump became the first foreign leader to meet the new emperor, naruhito, and the empress. it was very remarkable to see the empress speaking to president trump without an interpreter, but others have been arguing that president trump, for example, tweeting a video of the sumo tournament has given the country great publicity, and given how tight tensions are because of trade, maybe prime minister abe is trying to soften president trump's stance. a busy four day visit for president trump. let's take a look at some of the day's other news: the austrian parliament has forced the chancellor, sebastian kurz, from office in a no—confidence vote. mr kurz broke up his coalition with the far—right freedom party last week after its leader was caught in a covert video sting that suggested he was corrupt. this is the moment that the president of the parliament announced the vote. mr kurz shook her hand before he left the room. earlier in the debate,

this is what he said. translation: today, iwould translation: today, i would like to make the promise that i will do whatever i can to help maintain stability in austria. if today's vote goes the way i expect it, then we will have a new government. no matter what they look like, we will not put obstacles in the way, but support them. also making news today: it has emerged that seven soldiers jailed for the killing of ten rohingya muslims in myanmar in 2017 were granted early release last november. they are the only people punished over the crackdown, which drove more than 700,000 rohingya muslims to flee to bangladesh. the soldiers served less than a year of their ten—year prison terms, less time than the two reuters journalists who uncovered the killings.

in the aftermath of the european elections in britain, nigel farage has called for his newly victorious brexit party to be given a role in negotiations with the european union. mr farage pressed those conservatives racing to replace theresa may as prime minster to ensure britain left the eu at the end of october, with or without a deal. and what we are saying is people should be part now of the negotiation in brussels. we've got the right experience. let's make sure the country is ready on 31 0ctober sure the country is ready on 31 october to leave the european union, on whatever terms, and if any of those rivals, or indeed theresa may's successor, want to talk to us about it, we will be very happy to. australia's labour opposition has chosen a new leader, anthony albanese, after the party suffered a shock defeat in the general election.

previous leader bill shorten resigned on 18 may, immediately after conceding the election to incumbent prime minister scott morrison. mr albanese, a veteran politician, vowed to rebuild labor's vote. this is bruce the bald eagle, whose intense stare and piercing eyes have captured the attention of wildlife lovers worldwide. canadian amateur photographer steve biro snapped some photos of bruce a couple of weeks ago and posted the best one on facebook. the image went viral and was then picked up by media around the world. mr biro says he is overwhelmed by the response. it has been four weeks since the easter sunday attacks in sri lanka, in which more than 250 people were killed. the attacks were followed by a wave of anti—muslim violence that swept parts of north—west sri lanka. it has now subsided, but many in the country are worried that communal tensions that have

erupted after the attacks could once again lead to deep divisions in the country's complex ethno—religious structure. the bbc‘s vineet khare reports from north—western sri lanka. these are the first friday prayers at the famous mosque after it was vandalised by a mob. the damage and intensity of the attack is clear to see. we are given access to the cctv footage from the night of the attack. you can see groups of men breaking through the gate and then storming the mosque. translation: when i walked into the mosque, i was ove i’co m e when i walked into the mosque, i was overcome with emotions. it was heartbreaking. this mosque is lr's place. we come here when we want to turn to god, so to break this, i can't come to terms with it ——

allah. this is what is left of the town's main market. it isjust across the street from the mosque. this town saw some of the worst violence. most of the shops owned by muslims were destroyed in a fire, which people here blame on hundreds of men who were armed with sticks and stones. these attacks, just weeks after the easter bombings, threaten to destabilise the already fragile community relations. in this town, mohammed stepped out of his house after hearing the sound of a commotion. dozens of men armed with swords and sticks attacked him. eyewitnesses say he was killed at the gate. translation: my father had asked to switch off the lights and stay indoors. i couldn't see much. he thought he would be safe outside, with neighbours. we heard a noise,

and when we came out, we saw our father in a pool of blood. muslims make up nearly 10% of sri lanka's population. police say they have arrested more than 100 people in connection with the attacks, but experts say the challenge to contain groups like this, which has been critical of what they say is the spread of conservative is lump among sri lankan muslims. there is a global agenda of islamisation. expansion of islamisation, i mean, of islam. it is a global phenomenon. so because of that, with most people, you have to understand, as buddhists, with buddhist background and culture, we cannot hate people.

for now, the presence of security forces are visible outside this mosque, but many here are hoping the historic ties between the two communities will overcome this current crisis. germany and france have turned their thoughts to choosing the next president of the european commission, after mainstream parties lost their overall majority in the european parliament. the new meps will start debating who should succeed jean—claude juncker in july. this report from our europe editor katya adler. much about this european election is not what it first may seem. nationalist marine le pen beat president macron to top the polls in france. "this is a people's victory," said a delighted mrs le pen. "the people have taken power back into their own hands." but the people, aka europe's voters, didn't support mrs le pen's

political allies as much as she had hoped across the eu. millions of europeans cast a vote for change, but not all looked for answers in the far—right. the pro—european greens did phenomenally well, as did europe's liberals. we are witnessing a polarised society, so now we are going to use the leverage that the citizens gave us to try and enact change at a european level, reducing social inequality, reducing our ecological footprint, improving public health. we will see whether the others are prepared for that. seemingly unprepared for this new, fragmented political order are the eu's traditional power blocs, the centre—left and the centre—right. germany's government was given a very bloody nose. like in the uk, europe's voters are favouring political movements they believe better reflect their priorities. there are questions today as to how long angela merkel can or should

stay in office. and all this could well affect the brexit process. the woes of angela merkel, the far—right breathing down the neck again of emmanuel macron, looming general elections in a number of eu countries — all of this distracts eu leaders, and makes them that much more unlikely to reopen and renegotiate the brexit deal if they are asked to do so by the next uk prime minister. the attitude here, anyway, is that there is no better alternative. and how does the eu feel about 73 uk meps returning to the european parliament? it will be interesting to see how long they will actually be active in the european parliament. emmanuel macron has said he is worried that a reluctant uk still in the eu could cause internal trouble. are you worried about that? well, prime minister may was really clear that she said the uk would play a constructive role

until the 31st... she's going. well, she's going, exactly. we'll have to wait and see what this means for the next prime minister. eu leaders, including theresa may, meet here tomorrow to discuss the "what next" after the european elections. 0ur prime minister may feel a bit out of place. for the rest, the horse trading as to which political groups now get the eu's topjobs, like president of the european commission, is only just starting. you are watching newsday on the bbc. still to come on the programme: we will hear how conservationists in australia brought these rare turtles back from the brink of extinction. also on the programme: what may be the clearest footage of queen victoria still in existence discovered in new york. in the biggest international sporting spectacle ever seen, up to 30 million people have taken

this is newsday on the bbc. i'm rico hizon in singapore. i'm lewis vaughanjones in london. our top stories: he is the first world leader to be welcomed to japan by the new emperor — now president trump wraps up his visit, with the focus on trade. austria's political crisis deepens. parliament forces out the chancellor and his government in the fallout over a corruption scandal. donald trump's japan visit is on the front pages of many of the papers around the world. let's start with japan times — it says that many japanese officials will be relieved that the tokyo summit ended without any surprises or unpredictable remarks from the us leader. the strait times says that

donald trump pointedly refused to cool the tensions between the us and china, by saying he's in no rush to seal the trade deal with beijing. the south china morning post warns of the pain felt in hong kong, because of the continuing trade war between washington and beijing. the paper says exports have dropped for the six straight month, with more trouble on the way. and finally the new york times writes about divided views on america among chinese, which, the paper says, complicate beijing's trade negotiations. now, lewis, what stories are sparking discussions online? yes, let's looks at what is trending right now. north korea has distilled its own brand of whisky and plans to launch it at the end of this year, it's reported. it's said to be the first time the country has produced whisky. the source of the story is the young pioneer tours company,

which got its hands on a couple of bottles. australian conservationists are celebrating the news that one of the world's rarest turtle species has been successfully re—introduced into its natural habitat. four years ago, a freak virus wiped out about 90% of the bellinger river snapping turtle population. a handful of healthy turtles were captured for a breeding programme. and now look at this — ten of the critically—endangered turtles have been released into the bellinger river basin — the only place on earth where they're found. so far they seem to be doing well. earlier i spoke with mel geasy from the new south wales 0ffice of environment and heritage, and i asked her if she was confident the programme would continue to be a success.

we hope so. there has been a lot of ha rd we hope so. there has been a lot of hard work by a team of conservationists working with government and community to bring this project to this important milestone. are really important milestone. are really important milestone. how did we get here? what was the problem? what wiped out so many of these totals? as you said in the introduction, a virus that had never been known to science before swept through a very small catchment ofa swept through a very small catchment of a river in northern new south wales and wiped out 90% of this particular species. it didn't affect any of the other aquatic fauna that we can tell. this particular species succumbed. it went from a population of 4500 succumbed. it went from a population of a500 before the virus to just less tha n of a500 before the virus to just less than 200 now. we are grateful for the quick thinking of people on the ground to retrieve just 17

disease—free animals and bring them into captivity to form a captive breeding population. that is so strange that this virus came out of nowhere and only seemed to attack the turtles. i don't want to be pessimistic but is there a risk this virus comes back and does the same? look, there are no guarantees in this kind of work and that is why we are taking a cautious approach and treating this release is a trial. we have released a small number of animals and we are monitoring them very closely. we are able to re— ca ptu re very closely. we are able to re— capture the animals and we're looking at their survival, growth and able to monitor their health as well by taking samples and testing those and we are seeing no evidence

at all at the moment that the animals are exposed to the virus which is great news. that is good news. and why is it important that you can try and foster the regrowth in the population of this species? well, as you said, this species is found nowhere else in the world. it's in just 70 found nowhere else in the world. it's injust 70 kilometres found nowhere else in the world. it's in just 70 kilometres stretch in the river in northern new south wales. there are less than 200 animals in the wild and having that opportunity to have a captive breeding population and replenish the wild population is really the species please pause only chance of survival. —— species' chance of survival. some of the clearest moving footage ever ta ken of britain's long—serving 19th century monarch queen victoria has been discovered in a film archive in a new york museum. for decades the images had been overlooked, forgotten, until a curator from the british film institute saw them earlier this year and helped bring them to light. 0ur royal correspondent sarah campbell has this exclusive report. queen victoria in a sharper focus than ever seen before. this was her last trip to ireland in 1900 and is believed to be the last time she was filmed before her death less than a year later. it's the best view you will ever get of queen victoria in

moving pictures the footage had been stored for decades in new york's museum of modern art. but it was only recently realised it for its historical significance.” only recently realised it for its historical significance. i had never seen her in close—up before. i nearly fell off my chair. it is com pletely nearly fell off my chair. it is completely unique because you can see the queen's face for the first time. it is close up. you can see expressions, you can see her in movement rather than a stiff portrait of still photographs. queen victoria embraced the new medium of film. they were filled inbound model in 1886 and the following year, a0 cameras were used to capture the

queen's diamond jubilee. very much film was an extension of the whole series of image making about queen victoria. it makes her feel real. it makes her seem real and she is real. what sets this film apart is the level of detail and that's largely down to the fields size. 68 millimetres on the left and on the right, the footage was filmed in 35 millimetres, a cheaper format right, the footage was filmed in 35 millimetres, a cheaperformat which became the industry standard despite the loss of detail. the result, very few films of such high quality were made and no others capture so clearly this living, breathing, moving monarch. sarah campbell, bbc news. you have been watching newsday. i'm lewis vaughanjones in london. and i'm rico hizon in singapore. stay with us. coming up — france's renault considers a merger with fiat chrysler that would create the world's third largest car maker. we'll see what that means for the global auto industry. and before we go, we'd like to leave you with these pictures from the annual cheese rolling race just held in gloucestershire in england. competitors had to throw themselves

down a steep hill to try and catch the 3—kg double gloucester round cheese. good morning. 0urfinal bank holiday of may has now gone. a tale of two halves. the best of the weather was down into the south—east corner on monday in the london area where we saw 60 fahrenheit. further north, a beautiful weather watcher picture was 17. a cold, grey story in aberdeenshire. this is important because the cold air that has been sat across scotland throughout the weekend will push its way steadily southwards, taking the milder air back into the near continent as the northerly winds are set for a couple of days at least. hopefully only a short, sharp shock. more on that in a moment. the westerly direction

will bring in down in through the north sea and a rush of showers into the east coast during tuesday. sheltered western areas are seeing the best of the drier, brighter area. it will be a degree also caller, ten as the daytime maximum. moving out of tuesday, the, the winds will be caller. actually start to wednesday morning before another series of weather fronts pushing from the atlantic. during the early hours of wednesday, we will start to

see it clouding overfrom hours of wednesday, we will start to see it clouding over from the west but with clear skies further east, the temperatures are likely to fall away and it could be a chilly start for one or two of us with low single figures first thing on wednesday morning. the cloud and the rain continues to gather and here it will sit across south—west england and wales. eight degrees as a minimum. three orfour along the wales. eight degrees as a minimum. three or four along the east coast. we start off on a chilly note but with some sunshine around first thing on wednesday. the cloud and the rain gathers and continues to push its way steadily east as we go through the day. there is a level of uncertainty as to where this rain is going to be sitting by the middle pa rt going to be sitting by the middle part of the week but it looks as though it will light and patchy as it continues to push in. further north, a dry affair but not particularly warm, 11— 18 degrees. we see the weather front and area of low pressure continuing to drift further north and high pressure builds from the south. more importantly, the winds changed direction and become south—westerly, driving milder air once again back across the country. it does look as though the silver lining is as we headed towards the weekend. for many of us, sunnier and warmer again. the only exception again, the far north of scotland. enjoy what you can.
