a tourist boat. boxer anthonyjoshua has suffered a shock defeat — losing his three world titles in new york to underdog andy ruinunior. and coming up at half past two — paths to peace travels to beirut and to the beqaa valley in lebanon to visit a music project teaching souls to sing again thanks to traditional music. good afternoon. president trump says the uk should be prepared to leave the eu without a deal. his comments to the sunday times come ahead of his arrival in the uk tomorrow for a three—day state visit. the issue of brexit is dominating the race for the conservative leadership, and today another mp

came forward to become the 13th candidate for the role. our political correspondent, susana mendonca, reports. state visits are not supposed to delve into politics but this is donald trump. not only has he suggested that the uk government include the brexit party leader nigel farage in its negotiations with the eu he is also advising britain to opt for a no—deal brexit if it does not get its way. i would not pay $50 billion, that's a big number. it's a big number. if you don't get the deal you want, if you don't get a fair deal then you walk away. the us president's views could be seized on by some in this ever—growing line—up of conservative leadership candidates for a contest in which the debate has centred of leaving with no deal versus delaying brexit to do a deal. the former leader of the house has been putting more meat on the bones

of her plan today which sounded a lot like no—deal although she is calling it something different. i have a three—step plan for a managed exit which i believe is workable. i've been advocating it in government for some time now and i think it's based on the premise that number one we have to leave the eu at the end of october, and number two the withdrawal agreement bill is dead. the home secretary who is keeping no deal on the table for his bid is promising a digital solution to irish border. i would make a grand gesture, a grand offer to ireland that we would cover all their costs, the upfront costs and the running cost of a new digitised border, i think it can be done in a couple of years but we would cover their costs. the health secretary matt hancock who says a no—deal brexit is not realistic is suggesting a time limit on the irish backstop and a new free trade deal with the eu. the latest wannabe prime minister to join the fray is throwing another referendum into the mix.

the former university minister who quit over theresa may's withdrawal agreement says he wants to broaden the debate. if the choice is between no—deal and revoke then the way to break through this impasse and actually get things moving could be a second vote. that's 13 candidates so far trying their luck in a race that doesn't officially begin until theresa may formally steps down. and that will be after donald trump's been and gone. we can speak to professor matthew goodwin, the author of national populism: the revolt against liberal democracy. isa is a professor of politics at the university of. we have the deal—maker delivering his verdict on what happened, how big a problem is this for the established political parties in the light notjust of the stand—off with brussels but also the performance they experienced i should say last weekend? brexit is theissue, should say last weekend? brexit is the issue, a massive issue. the risk for both labour and the

conservatives now is brexit is pushing us into a full realignment of british politics, that labour are getting hit by the liberal democrats in remain territory but by the brexit party in leave territory. the conservatives are getting hit across the entire landscape losing support in both remain territory and leave territory. but the first time we are now seeing outside parties, challenger parties, the brexit party and liberal democrats actually ahead of the two main parties in the opinion polls, nothing short of remarkable. at the stage of great instability, but what about the politicians where you say it is all very well but once brexiters done, after a few months things will settle down and they will fall back into the old patterns. that is the great hope for the main parties. the million dollar question is what type of brexit is done? if it is a soft

brexit, very close alignment with the eu, how will that sit in the harder brexit conservative territory? on the other hand if it isa territory? on the other hand if it is a no—deal, a very disruptive departure from the eu, how will that sit within more sight, conservative remain territory where the liberal democrats are now nipping at the heels of the conservatives. so we don't really know what effect this is going to have and i think the million—dollar question is is brexit a temporary disruption to british politics or is it the beginning of a permanent new dividing line between leavers and remainers. presumably pa rt leavers and remainers. presumably part of the lesson of history is these lines are not apparent early on, it takes a long time for the parties to reshape themselves.” think that is right. if you look at what is underpinning this divide that we can see, for example,

working struggling left behind communities that are now realigning behind parties like the brexit party, but we are seeing university graduates, university towns, middle—class professionals turning away from the mainstream parties for the liberal democrats. brexit didn't create all of this but brexit is exacerbating the underlying social divides that i would argue have been building in british society for 30, 40 building in british society for 30, a0 yea rs building in british society for 30, a0 years and that is what is going to give them that big sort of staying power, that we are not going to see a return to normality in the next few months but what about donald trump's arrival here tomorrow? in a sense he exemplifies that populist resentment, the resentment that populist politicians are resentment that populist politicians a re successfully resentment that populist politicians are successfully fed on in his country and around europe, it will be quite a spectacle for him to arrive a master of all he surveys in the united states in a country where

the united states in a country where the politics are so divided. indeed, and trump has already been stirring the pot. he has made negative comments about prime minister may and how they brexit negotiation has been handled until now. he has made negative comments about how the uk is handling the new relationship with huawei and the long term relationship with china. he has made porous comments about borisjohnson and nigel farage and that hard revision of brexit, the queen a breakfrom revision of brexit, the queen a break from the european revision of brexit, the queen a breakfrom the european union revision of brexit, the queen a break from the european union so revision of brexit, the queen a breakfrom the european union so he is really arriving at the pivotal and fragile moment in british politics as we have a conservative leadership election under way, a labour party still divided and trying to figure out where it stands on brexit and the country more generally that i think it's fair to say is rather exasperated with the current developments in westminster. professor matthew goodwin, professor of politics at the university of can, thank you very much. —— kent.

liverpool fans have been celebrating well into the night after their clubs victory in the champions league final, the sixth time they've won europe's top club championship. they beat spurs 2—0 in madrid. the team and the trophy have now arrived back in liverpool and our correspondent stuart flinders is there. it is going to be hours and hours of celebrations, never mind all the hours of celebrations last night. absolutely. barely time for people to catch their breath here. it is two hours yet before the parade with the trophy through the city is supposed to begin, but we know that these things rarely start on time, but already you can see across the road people beginning to get their pitch to make sure they get a good glimpse of that trophy as it comes through the city. what you are looking at now is the albert dock where the crowd is already quite dense, there are banners around me from german fans, a man selling bannersjust from german fans, a man selling banners just below us and it must have been pretty quick to get them printed, because they have on them

the dates of the purple's european su ccesses , the dates of the purple's european successes, rome and 8a, wembley 78, istanbul 2005 and already they have added madrid 2019. this party really started last night. the moment divock origi scored the second goal for liverpool putting the match beyond tottenham hotspur boss ‘s reach. immediately afterwards throughout the city livable fans in red greeting each other with loud cheers and big smiles —— liverpool. many literally partied until the drop. trying to get an hour of sleep before transport could get them home. now a chance to have a look at that trophy for fans who went in madrid last night. it starts in about two hours' time. we will have pictures along the bus from the route with the fans and you'll see a lot of it right here. the kind of excitement and emotion for the city is intense and the relationship with the team is so intense, i suppose both teams, but in terms of what

liverpool have achieved this time, why does it matter the season they have and indeed the seasons that klopp has had in charge? think it matters largely because it's all very well playing well, looking like you will win things but you have to win things as well. they run manchester city so close in the premier league and ended upjust one point from winning the premier league trophy, with a points total of 97 that would probably have won it for them in most years. after last yea r‘s it for them in most years. after last year's shattering defeat in the final when they really felt hard done by, to mark goalkeeping errors cost them that much, they wanted desperately to have another go but luckily they had to only wait one more year to do it. they have done it. it is a young side and who knows what this team can achieve. have a great afternoon. look forward to hearing from you a little later. stewart flinders preparing for what is going to be a very big party and

celebration as the team and the trophy had through the city this afternoon. heavy rain and snow are hampering the search for eight climbers, including four britons who are missing in india. the group had been trying to climb the country's second highest peak — nanda devi — but failed to return to their base camp on friday. officials say there were signs of an avalanche on the mountain. angus crawford has the details. it isa it is a chilling mountain. this has only seen a0 or 30 exhibition since it was first coined in 1936. the alarm was raised. the rescue

hampered by rain and snow. one of those confirmed missing is academic doctor richard payne from the university of york. the expedition leader is martin moran. a hugely experienced mountaineer. people can go missing in the himalayas for a week. you can get trapped and you might have to dig is now held and survive for several days. the monsoon is very heavy rain in the indian lowlands and then fresh amounts of snow in bad weather in the mountains. we are right that there is an avalanche involved. the search mission abandoned due to bad weather will start again tomorrow. the family of the expedition leader, martin moran, have issued a statement this afternoon. they say "we have been informed that an air search by helicopter has "revealed the scale of the avalanche, but no "sign of the climbers, "their equipment or their tents. "we are pressing for the search area

to be widened and continued." mountaineer alan hinks knows the himalayas incredibly well speaking to martine croxall earlier, mr hinks described his friend. he is a massively experienced mountaineer. virtually every hillwalker in britain will have heard of him. he lives in scotland. he was the first man to climb all the munros in winter on a single round. he has a wealth of experience. i cannot say how much of an experienced mountaineer he is. it is worrying news. they have been missing two or three days. given his experience, what does that tell you about the severity of the situation this group is in that we have not heard from them for all this time? i am still holding out hope

because people can go missing in the himalayas for a week. you can get trapped and you might have to dig a snow hole and survive several days but the monsoon is moving in, which is very heavy rain, and it is dumping amounts of snow and bad weather in the mountains. we are worried there is an avalanche involved and no matter how experienced you are the mountain does not know how experienced you are or that you are an avalanche expert. the avalanche prediction is not that accurate, it is a bit like meteorologists. there is still hope. you got stuck in the himalayas at one point. yes, i have been stuck in the himalayas not far from where this mountain is and we were trapped for seven days. our friends left us for dead and handed our passports in to the british commission but we survived ten days and later we arrived back.

that is another reason i am holding out hope. the weather will be getting worse with the monsoon unfortunately. martin is one of the most experienced mountaineers in the world, a lovely guy, strong and experienced. we are hoping if anyone can pull it off he can with the team. we talk about the himalayas as if they are some kind of homogenous area but i imagine the differences between each of the peaks is enormous. yes. a huge area. encompassing tibet, nepal, india, pakistan. in the western himalaya into pakistan the monsoon will not have hit there yet but it is starting to encroach into this part of india making the weather worse and the monsoon will be moving up everest. to put that photograph into perspective, there will be nobody on everest probably until april next year. it is only a bit of an anomaly

on one day, that 200 people. alan talking about one of his friends martin moran, who was currently missing in the himalayas. the headlines on bbc news... donald trump has again intervened in british politics, saying the new conservative leader should be prepared to walk away from the eu without a deal. former universities minister sam gyimah says he is standing in the conservative leadership contest to replace theresa may. he is the 13th candidate to enter the race. liverpool win the greatest prize in european football, they are now back home for a victory parade this afternoon. police in northern ireland say they have begun a cross—border investigation after a bomb found under a serving police officer's car at a golf club in belfast. the discovery yesterday afternoon forced the evacuation of the club while army bomb disposal experts

made the device safe. police say they suspect dissident republicans planted the device and that the incident is being treated as attempted murder. we are extraordinarily fortunate that we are not talking about the murder of a police officer, of members of his family or indeed members of the public. placing a bomb that has been planted recklessly, cruelly and viciously under his car. the attempt to murder a police officer is an attempt to murder a public servant. and i cannot understand what cause is advanced by attempting to murder a man who, day in, day out seeks to serve this community. the people that carried out this attack deserve the absolute condemnation of all right—thinking people. they have nothing to offer anyone, except for more

suffering and more loss. assista nt assistant chief constable george clark of the police service of northern ireland. boxing now, and there's been a huge upset at new york's madison square garden. britain's heavyweight champion anthonyjoshua has been beaten by his mexican opponent andy ruinunior. the ref stepped in to stop the fight in the seventh round. joshua was expected to win the bout and this is his first defeat. ruiz becomes the first mexican to win the heavyweight championship — a fact not lost on the boxer who was a huge underdog. i have been working really hard, man. really hard. and i felt i wanted to prove everybody wrong, the doubters thinking i was going to lose in the third round, first round. i was looking at comments as well. and what do you know, man, i'm the first mexican heavyweight champion of the world. funeral plan providers are set to be

regulated by the independent financial watchdog for the first time under new government plans. it follows complaints that some people are being pushed into buying products they don't fully understand. those found guilty of bullying people into buying expensive pre—paid plans could face fines and criminal charges. a leading democratic nominee in the us 2020 presidential election was interrupted on—stage by a protester at an event in california last night. senator kamala harris was answering a question on equal pay when a man came and took her microphone from her. hey, hey, hey! the protester, a 2a—year—old animal rights activist named aidan cook, said he wanted her attention for a "much bigger idea" than the pay gap. social media users have been quick to point out the irony of a man interrupting ms harris whilst she was discussing her plans for equality. organisers of the california

event have apologised. fridges and air conditioning units are responsible for a fifth of the world's carbon dioxide emissions. now, scientists think they might have come up with a solution to make them better for the environment and a balloon has provided inspiration for the idea. richard westcott reports. one fifth of the world's energy goes on running fridges and air—conditioning units. they are often inefficient, energy hungry and can leak greenhouse gases into the air. demonstrate it quickly. so now a cambridge team... it's gone really hot! ..has come up with an alternative. and then... it's really cold! that's amazing. i will explain the balloon thing in a second. first, you need to know that fridges and air—conditioning units currently work by expanding and then squashing gases. the cambridge team is looking to replace that gas with more eco—friendly solids. it is complex work but you can show

it with a simple experiment and a thermal camera. like with a balloon, if you expand the new materials quickly, they go white, which means hot. squash them quickly and they go black, which means cold. here are some of the materials they hope will one day replace the gases in the back of ourfridges. so, they'll load them into the machine and then squeeze them and stretch them to see what happens. so, the impact can be potentially tremendous because if we can actually find a solid material to replace the gases we use in vapour compression fridges and air—conditioning systems, we can hope to have a technology that is both environmentally friendly and much more energy efficient. they have developed organic materials that workjust as well as gas but without the potentially harmful leakage. it's still early days, but it could lead to fridges and aircon units that devour much less energy and are better for the environment.

let's take a look at some of today's other stories on bbc news. an explosion at a factory in the russian city ofjershinsk has injured 79 people and damaged 180 homes nearby. city officials say the factory produces and stores high—explosive bombs for the military. at least five people were inside the factory at the time of the explosion. they were all safely evacuated. the brazilian football star, neymar, has strongly denied an accusation that he raped a woman in paris. in a brazilian police report, the woman alleges that the attack took place in a hotel, near where neymar plays for paris st—germain. neymar‘s management has put out a statement saying the footballer "completely repudiated" the accusation. british airways is set to become the first western airline to resume flights to pakistan, after the route was cancelled because of security risks. the airline stopped flying to the country in 2008 after the marriott hotel bombing. a flight from heathrow to islamabad

is due to take off this evening. footage has emerged which shows a cruise ship appearing to lose control as it was docking in venice this morning. the msc opera can be seen here crashing into the wharf and hitting a tourist boat. those on the quayside began running away as the ship scraped along the dock with its horn blaring, before knocking into the other vessel. four people were slightly injured. simon skinner is on holiday in venice and told me what he saw. this vessel did seem to be going a lot faster than the normal cruise ships. it had tugs as normal to the front and rear but when we were watching it it was clear that it was off course and it was like a slow motion disaster, crashing into the wharf. it was very fortunate that the ship crashed into the dock because if it had gone further it would have crushed the smaller vessel.

iraq has suffered from decades of war and terrorism. the legacy of the fighting means the country is littered with unexploded mines, bombs and munitions — more than any other country in the world. from iraq, cameron buttle reports. radio check. weaving through the baghdad morning rush hour. flanked by mile after mile of concrete blast walls. frank phillips has been working in iraq for more than a decade. for the past year he's been setting up the halo trust operations. as the convoy moves north the threat changes. 15 kilometres to our east is a town called tarmia. tarmia, at the moment, is one of the hotbeds of activity of what remains of isis. this kind of pop—up terrorism will be active in one area,

then inevitably the government will mount operations against them, may neutralise them,, they may move on somewhere else. morning. hi, frank, how are you? halo has been dealing with mines, munitions and explosives around the world for 30 years. in places like afghanistan it has thousands of workers. these are some of the first 100 being trained in iraq. it was a device exactly like this that killed a little girl two weeks ago. she was out playing near these houses. khaled ali still lives here along with his family. he says there are many accidents in the valley. they are afraid to walk anywhere beyond their home. this is what happens when the locals tried to clear the rubble themselves. a man driving this digger lost both his legs when he hit a mine.

a0 miles west of baghdad the city of fallujah was an isis stronghold. re—taking it was a symbolic victory for iraqi forces. but at a huge cost. today it needs industrial machines to clear it. we can clear so much more ground than old —fashioned metal detectors in this area. you can just see the top of what would be a paint pot and then just off to one side, there will be the pressure plate where the victim or someone might stand on it. you reckon there's another one? i think there's another onejust here. the machine digs up the bomb, then it's a long wait in the searing heat to see if it detonates. and it still takes a man with wire cutters to take a long, lonely walk to make sure it's safe. radio chatter so this is the ied they've taken out of the ground about half an hour ago.

it's quite day—to—day for them but i have to say when you pick it up and you start handling it, it's quite chilling. and it's quite unnerving to see how simple it is in the material that's been used, these are bits of hose, everyday stuff that people have got from hardware stores. there are some who already feel the risk is worth it to move back home but the problem is vast, development has stalled and hundreds of thousands of iraqis won't return here until it's safe again. and that could be at least a decade away. at more than 100 miles long, the cleveland way is one of england's oldest long—distance trails. it circumnavigates the north york moors and drops down the coast to filey. the route has been enjoyed by millions, from hikers and walkers, to stargazers and bird watchers and this year marks its 50th birthday, as phil chapman reports.

archive: where this acorn marks the route, there is a 100 mile footpath across a land alive with history. nearly half a century on and teesside university students have produced this slightly more up—to—date public information film featuring the cleveland way and somehow over the last 50 years the route has become longer without actually adding any extra miles. back in 1969 the route was described as being 98 miles long and now we talk about it being 109 miles and actually, it's the same route but they didn't used to count the urban stretches so the bits through whitby and scarborough didn't count because maybe they didn't think the urban bits were important. i've always been a walker and it's one of the most beautiful parts of the world and it's right next door to where i live. we walked parts of the cleveland way before and we just love the scenery and the coastline is absolutely gorgeous. it's very, very dramatic and you're right on the edge of it all the time, it's wonderful.

and, of course, the route has plenty to offer inland as well. archive: medieval monks peopled this once proud abbey. it's a big thing, people actually walked the whole cleveland way as a long—distance holiday, what the cleveland way was actually first developed for. in the present day i'm actually involved with a race series and saturday it's the 12th edition of the 110 race, starting in filey, finishing in helmsley and we have 36 hours to do it. archive: vikings raided the coast. and if you're feeling really ambitious the cleveland way forms part of the 2795 mile england coast path, set to be completed next year. phil chapman, on the cleveland way. the day
