hello. this is bbc news. donald trump sets off in the next few hours for his state visit to britain the president is coming here after controversial comments with me, julian worricker. about the conservative party leadership and brexit — thousands of protestors are expected after facing backlash for booking acts who have called for members of the conservative party to be to demonstrate against his visit. killed, glastonbury have withdrawn one band's booking from this summer's festival. in a statement posted we'll be assessing what mr on twitter this evening, trump hopes to achieve while he's in britain. the glastonbury shangri—la stage also tonight: tweeted that killdren, a band the streets of liverpool with a song called ‘kill tory scum', painted red as three will no longer be part quarters of a million fans celebrate of the festival. champions league glory. we waited years for this. killdren's most well known song features the lyrics, let's face it, we wanted "even if it's your dad or your mum, the premier league, but this will do. kill tory scum". it was amazing, i saw them last another band, fat white family, night in the pub lift who have tweeted that anyone the trophy, i was like, who voted tory "has blood on their hands" are still "i want to see them today!" expected to perform. four british climbers rescued from india's second highest mountain, thejo cox foundation, but another four are still missing.

which was set up to continue the work of the murdered labour mp says the language is the terrifying moment completely abhorrent. when a cruise liner crashed chief executive of thejo cox into a dock in venice foundation, catherine anderson, joins me now from central london. and d day remembered — this week sees the 75th anniversary of the landings that changed good evening. hello, thank you for the course of world war two. having me. your reaction first of all to that development i mentioned at the start that one of these bands is no longer invited?|j at the start that one of these bands is no longer invited? i am very pleased, personally. we did call on glastonbury to pull the act but there has been a lot of pressure on them today and i think it is the right thing to do. in the end, good evening. glastonbury was providing a platform president trump arrives in britain tomorrow for his state visit. ahead of the trip, mr trump has made for barnes, who in the end, were controversial comments about brexit and the tory leadership contest. peddling some nasty and horrible views. i am peddling some nasty and horrible views. iam pleased peddling some nasty and horrible views. i am pleased to hear that. —— the foreign secretaryjeremy hunt bands. when you first read of this, says mr trump will still be warmly welcomed, but the mayor of london, sadiq khan, says britain should not what did you think?|j be rolling out the red bands. when you first read of this, what did you think? i was very carpet for the president. shocked that sort of thing, what we our diplomatic correspondent see as a general trend, a decay of james landale reports.
10:02 pm
donald trump hasn't even arrived language and discourse, notjust in for his state visit and already he's making headlines — public life, but out in further staking out his agenda on brexit, society, i was shocked that china and iran, ruffling feathers glastonbury were giving a platform ahead of protests that could match those to bands that could be so explicitly he faced last year. he said britain should pursue in century and insightful violence, a no—deal brexit, be careful before but particularly so because we are giving china access to technology and go all out for a trade deal so very incredibly conscious at the that his ambassador admitted jo cox foundation, at what can would involve the nhs. happen when violence really does end your national health service is the pride of the country. in the ultimate tragedy. and everything we are seeing, we cannot it is a highly emotionsally—charged issue. do you think health care has help but see through the prism of to be part of the deal? i think probably you know the entire jo. but we are seeing it far economy would in a trade deal, all things that are traded worsening in general. what, in your would be on the table. which includes health care? i think so. view, lies behind that? we have over the next three days, president trump will get all the pageantry of become very polarised, particularly a state visit — dinner in the last few years. there is a with the queen, lunch with the prime minister, d—day commemorations in lot to be said for online abuse portsmouth, but the potentialfor becoming more prevalent, the fact disagreement looms large over how to
10:03 pm
tackle the threat from iran people feel a licence to speak in a if a chinese telecoms should provide certain way, language is being part of uk's 56 mobile network and normalised and legitimised. i think whether a future trade deal would mean chlorinated chicken in british we should remove the focus from what supermarkets. such is the concern of some, constitutes a criminal act, stop they say the state visit should not even be taking place. thinking about censorship but thinking about censorship but some of the things donald trump has thinking about censorship but done over the last two or three thinking about the impact on people. years, londoners find abhorrent and offensive, rolling back the people in public life, these are reproductive rights of women, separating children from their human beings. i know people in parents on the mexican border, introducing a ban muslim—majority public life, members of parliament, countries. people with high profile are incredibly scared at the moment and told to stand back from the edge of and he's not alone. the tube, being told to walk around tens of thousands of people are getting ready to protest. in pairs, it is very concerning. i think lots of people are going to be taking the that is why at the jo cox foundation day off work and coming down to protest and just send a message we are working with the standards of both to donald trump, to our government and to the world that everything he represents is rejected by the people here. this state visit is designed to celebrate an old alliance — flags public life to be westminster —based and heads of state standing together, commemorating a shared affairs and then feed out to a
10:04 pm
history and sacrifice. there's a whole list national standard because i think we have to call out this kind of of things that we don't agree with the administration on, language when we find it. does that require a law change of any sort?” but it doesn't affect the fact that think the laws can only ever go so far when we are talking about a spectrum of language and the we have the most important partnership that there spectrum of language and the spectrum of language and the spectrum of abuse. i would rather is in the world for freedom, democracy, the rule of law, see a long—term, deep—seated the things that really matter behavioural change in our society. and that's what we are celebrating. when donald trump arrives here tomorrow, he is going to get all the bells this kind intimidation in public and whistles of a full state visit. but beneath the pomp life and coarsening of language, in there'll also be the end it is socially unacceptable politics, for all the symbolic unity, there will be differences too. in ourage. we the end it is socially unacceptable in our age. we have to frame that, as we did with drink—driving, our north america editor jon sopel is here. so, a very controversial visit, homophobic abuse and we have to look and the timing a little awkward? at other ways as well. with yeah, i mean it's hardly optimal reference to glastonbury, as we have that donald trump is arriving with british politics in turmoil and the day after he returns from europe to established, killdren won't be part
10:05 pm
the united states, theresa may steps down as conservative party leader. of the festival, but fat white family still will, what do you think there were discussions in washington should the visit go ahead. one about that? i ask them to think very senior official said, of course it carefully about the platforms they should go ahead, donald trump are providing and the messages doesn't give a damn about the people are conveying on those politics of what is happening at westminster. he wants the pomp and platforms. social media platforms are all having to clean up their pageantry of westminster. he wants the pomp and pagea ntry of buckingham westminster. he wants the pomp and pageantry of buckingham palace, that acts. festivals may have to do the plays very well with americans. same. i would acts. festivals may have to do the same. iwould never call on having said that, in his pretrip glastonbury to cut an act, that is interviews he has waded into the for them to decide themselves, but i biggest political issues of the day think they really ought to think about boris johnson about the pressure they've been put biggest political issues of the day about borisjohnson succeeding theresa may, whether nigel farage under today and the message they are should have a role in negotiations. so he hasn't been shy of the sending and consider the fact that they could be complicit in enabling politics either. that is very much the hall mark of donald trump, that hate speech on one of their stages. it isa the hall mark of donald trump, that it is a state visit, there will be all the bells and whistle, but it thank you for coming on, catherine will be donald trump coming to town anderson from the jo and that means it will be thank you for coming on, catherine anderson from thejo cox foundation. it's time for a look unorthodox. in public and all the at the weather with phil avery. ceremonial will be about the hello once again. the weather headlines may well be made by the fact we've just celebration of 75 years since those experienced the warmest day of the year thus far with over brave young men stormed the normandy 28 degrees in norfolk.
10:06 pm
but elsewhere, there was quite a bit beaches. but there are differences of cloud around and they may not have completed the play on iran and climate change as donald there at clifton in north yorkshire and that was because this trailing trump looks beyond theresa may to portion of a weather front has who will be the next prime minister. gradually worked its way from west to east across many thank you. parts of the country over liverpool's footballers the past few hours. have been celebrating their champions league victory we are not quite done with itjust with an open top bus parade through the city. yet because the parent low will sit merseyside police estimate three quarters of a million fans turned close by to the western side out to welcome the team home from madrid, where of scotland during the course they beat spurs 2—0. it's the sixth time liverpool have of the wee small hours won europe's top club championship. our sports editor dan roan reports. and the thicker cloud that will keep those showers coming for northern and western part of scotland and northern ireland too overnight. talk about painting the town red! a night that will be considerably fresher across southern parts than was the case last night. this is what it means to be european some of the temperatures didn't get below the mid—teens — champions for a sixth time. an tonight, ten to 12 will be the minimum. that front continues its journey off estimated three quarters of a to the near continent and then it's million liverpool fans lining the streets today to celebrate the return of their heroes. the city brought to a glorious standstill as players and coaching staff enjoyed an open—topped bus parade.
10:07 pm
spectators scramble for any vantage point to catch a glimpse of the team that has reinforced the club's status as true giants of game. once yourself liverpool, you love liverpool. fabulous. iwas yourself liverpool, you love liverpool. fabulous. i was in madrid, i was there. amazing. liverpool. fabulous. i was in madrid, iwas there. amazing. yeah! come on! amazing experience. best night of my life. we waited years for this. let's face it, we wanted the premier league, but this will do. a few hours earlier the squad landed home from madrid with that extra special land luggage — the famous trophy back in liverpool after 11! years, famous trophy back in liverpool after 11! yea rs, reward famous trophy back in liverpool after 11! years, reward for a night when winning was all that mattered. surely that wins it for liverpool. their all—english final with spurses may not have been a classic, but try telling that to the victors after a
10:08 pm
famous 2—0 win. these are the scenes of celebration. but might this actuallyjust be the start of something very special? so now we won something and we will carry on. we want to win things. 100%. this carry on. we want to win things. ioo%. this group, this is only the start for this group. it is still a wonderful age group. they all have the best times ahead of them. that's big for me. i'm happy. and for klopp and company, today a chance to bask in the glory of his first trophy as liverpool manager. his special bond with this city and the fans who have come to idolise him obvious. these players and their manager have breathed new life into the legendary special relationship that this club enjoins with the top prize in european football. these remarkable
10:09 pm
scenes compelling evidence ofjust how much football glory means to this city and to its people. having crawled their way to the end of route, these players will have been left in no doubt as to the impact their triumph has had here. european glory has lightning been part of fabric of liverpool, now a new generation understands. a club and its community united in euphoria. a spectacular season ending with a celebration to match. four british climbers have been airlifted to safety from india's second highest mountain. they were spotted early this morning at a base camp. but four other britons — in a separate group of climbers — are still missing. officials say there was an avalanche on the mountain. our india correspondent yogita limaye sent this report from india's northern state of uttarakhand. it's one of the toughest mountains
10:10 pm
in the world to climb. not many have dared to take on nanda devi's jagged peaks. this is video filmed by a group of mountaineers a few years ago. now, in these icy slopes, eight climbers are missing. they were being led by martin moran, a man well known in the climbing community. this is a photo of the team before they set out, three weeks ago. they were to return to base camp on friday. when they didn't, a search was launched. today, these four british climbers were airlifted to safety. they were part of the same group but thought to have been on a different mission in the mountain. they are now helping with search efforts for the eight still missing. they were able to give us some inputs about the general direction in which these remaining mountaineers have gone.
10:11 pm
there seems to have been multiple avalanches in the general area. all 12 climbers had taken permits from the indian government for the nanda devi mountain. they went through the eastern base camp and then appear to have split into two groups. the eight who are missing were trying to ascend an unclimbed summit of over 6,400 metres, possibly along this ridge. after searching from the east of the mountain, authorities have told us they are now looking from the direction of this glacier in the south—east. the moran family has asked for the search area to be widened. i'm still holding out hope, as people can go missing in the himalaya for a week. you can get trapped and then might have to dig a snow hole and survive for several days, but the monsoon is moving in now, which is very heavy rain in the indian lowlands, and then it's dumping fresh amounts of snow and bad weather in the mountains. we are worried that there's
10:12 pm
an avalanche involved. but as more time goes by hopes of finding them are fading. today was the second day of the search efforts, but heavy rainfall and snow have been slowing things down. helicopters couldn't fly beyond the afternoon because of bad weather, but they will resume operations in just a few hours from now at daybreak. yogita limaye, bbc news, in uttarakhand. a total of 13 contenders are now running in the race to replace theresa may as conservative party leader and prime minister. with me is our political correspondent, iain watson, iain, this is a field that's getting increasingly crowded. it is indeed. so far we have a baker's dozen it is indeed. so far we have a ba ker‘s dozen of it is indeed. so far we have a baker's dozen of candidates who have declared they want to be the next prime minister. now, i think what is interesting is that although so many have already declared, mps will whittle this huge field down to two, that will then go to the membership and the dividing lines in the
10:13 pm
contest have become clearer, they be summed up in the phrase, deal or no deal. the health secretary and the international development secretary have both argued that in effect parliament would stop us leaving without a deal, by implication they're saying candidates calling for no deal are trying to pull the wool over the eyes of members. but andrea leadsom said, mps would prefer no deal to a further delay. sajid javid, who wants a deal, is also saying he wants no deal preparations ramped up and the newest candidate said he wants the issue to go back to the people. that issue to go back to the people. that is no at popular decision in the conservative party and perhaps a sign of continuing deep division. thank you. and the liberal democrat are also having a leadership contest. today, one of the contenders, jo swinson, said a no—deal brexit would be irresponsible.
10:14 pm
speaking on the andrew marr programme, she repeated calls for another referendum and criticised conservative policies on brexit. "brexit means brexit" was the most meaningless phrase ever and we had this blank canvas to which everybody could project their own form of brexit. brexiteers can't even agree among themselves, even now, what brexit means. that's why it needs to go back to the people. a cruise ship lost control as it tried to dock in venice — crashing into a wharf and hitting a tourist boat. it seems the vessel may have broken loose from a tug boat and was then unable to stop because of strong currents. four people were hurt. katharine da costa reports. horn blaring and out of control... ..the cruise ship ploughs into the dock, ramming a small tourist boat and sending dozens of people running for safety. on board, stunned passengers brace themselves for impact.
10:15 pm
that way! it was just a massive shock and we were sort of trembling, we couldn't believe what we were seeing and just to see this thing out of control, it was almost literally unbelievable. the collision happened this morning on the giudecca canal — one of busiest in venice, adding to growing pressure for large ship ts to be banned. translation: the accident what happened here today, in the end everything was fine, but it could have been a tragedy. the ships owners, mse cruises have blamed a technical issue and say they're helping the authorities with their investigation. with all the sport now, here's ollie foster at the bbc sport centre. good evening.
10:16 pm

10:20 pm
newsreel: where the weight of battle had fallen heaviest, it was a scene of utter destruction. the battle to take the city of caen lasted weeks. allied bombardment destroyed most of it. 20,000 french civilians would be killed in the three—month battle of normandy. this woman was nine. she survived an american air raid. her mother and grandmother were killed along with her ten—year—old brother.

10:22 pm
she'll hear no criticism of the allies. but post—war france would be haunted by this, that the boots that landed on these beaches had come almost entirely from the english—speaking world, and france would have to reconcile itself to the inescapable new reality of american global power. alan little, bbc news, normandy.
