11:05 pm
tomorrow for his state visit. ahead of the trip, mr trump has made controversial comments about brexit and the tory leadership contest. the foreign secretary, jeremy hunt, says mr trump will still be warmly welcomed, but the mayor of london, sadiq khan, says britain should not be rolling out the red carpet for the president. 0ur diplomatic correspondent james landale reports. donald trump hasn't even arrived for his state visit, and already he is making headlines, staking out his agenda on brexit, china and iran, ruffling feathers ahead of protests that could match those he faced last year. he said britain should pursue a no—deal brexit, be careful before giving china access to technology, and go all out for a trade deal that his ambassador admitted would involve the nhs. your national healthcare service is the pride of the country.
11:06 pm
it is a highly, highly emotionally charged issue. do you feel that healthcare has to be part of the deal? i think probably you know the entire economy would in a trade deal. all things that are traded would be on the table. which includes healthcare. i think so. over the next three days, president trump will get all the pageantry of a state visit — dinner with the queen, lunch with the prime minister, d—day commemorations in portsmouth. but the potential for disagreement looms large over how to tackle the threat from iran, if a chinese telecoms firm should provide part of uk's 56 mobile network, and whether a future trade deal would mean chlorinated chicken in british supermarkets. such is the concern of some, they say the state visit should not even be taking place. some of the things donald trump has done over the last two, three years, londoners find abhorrent and offensive — rolling back the reproductive rights of women, separating children from their parents on the mexican border, introducing a ban muslim—majority countries.
11:07 pm
and he is not alone. tens of thousands of people are getting ready to protest. i think lots of people are going to be taking the day off work and coming down to protest and just send a message 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 and heads of state standing together, commemorating a shared history and sacrifice. there's a whole list of things that we don't agree with the administration on, but it doesn't affect the fact that we have the most important partnership that there is in the world forfreedom, democracy, the rule of law, the things that really matter, and that's what we're celebrating. when donald trump arrives here tomorrow morning, he is going to get all the bells and whistles of a full state visit.
11:08 pm
but beneath the pomp, there will also be politics, and so for all the symbolic unity, there will be differences too. 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. 0ur india correspondent yogita limaye sent this report from india's northern state of uttarakhand. it's one of the toughest mountains 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.
11:09 pm
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. there seems to have been multiple avalanches in that 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
11:10 pm
in the south—east. the moran family has asked for the search area to be widened. i'm still holding out hope, ‘cause 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. you know, and we are worried that there's 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. the us federal aviation administration has warned that some boeing 737 max and ng aeroplanes may have faulty parts that need replacing. the faa says over 300
11:11 pm
aircraft could be affected. the 737 max was grounded globally in march after two crashes led to concerns over its new anti—stall software. 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 tugboat and was then unable to stop because of strong currents. four people were hurt. katharine da costa reports. horns 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. someone else went in the water. that way!
11:12 pm
watch out! 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 that 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. the headlines on bbc news: 750 , 000 liverpool football fans come out onto the streets to welcome home the champions of europe. they became six—time european cup winners afterjurgen klopp‘s team beat tottenham 2—0 in madrid.

president trump will shortly head to britain for a state visit after making controversial comments about the conservative party leadership and brexit. thousands of protestors are expected to demonstrate against his visit. four british climbers are rescued from india's second—highest mountain, but another four are still missing. sport, and a full round—up from the bbc sport centre. good evening. anthonyjoshua has described his first professional defeat as a minor setback, and says he'll win back his three world heavyweight titles after being beaten by andy ruinr in new york. the mexican was a late replacement to face joshua, but knocked him down four times before the fight was stopped. 0ur reporter ade adedoyin was at madison square garden. not many thought this would go the distance, and even fewer thought it would be joshua who
11:14 pm
would be counted out. the champion struck first, and as he went for the finish, ruiz countered, wobbling joshua before a right hand sent him to the canvas. moments later, he wilted under another barrage of punches. surely the unthinkable wasn't about to happen. sensing his moment, ruiz swarmed onjoshua in the seventh. two more knock—downs and it was all over. the referee had seen enough. a shock to rank amongst the greatest in heavyweight history, bya man who wasn't even supposed to be there. joshua says he still wants to face the champion, deontay wilder. i wanted to prove all the doubters wrong. they was telling me i was going to lose in the first round, the third round. what do you know man, i am the first mexican heavyweight champion of the world. boxing is about not getting hit
11:15 pm
and i got hit one too many times. it's all good. it's not the result i wanted but it doesn't define me. i'm going to bounce back, sharpen my tools, sharpen my mindset, and i think there's still a lot of positives. there are still some huge fights out there for him. nothing changes. going into tonight, we didn't know what was coming next in november or december. johanna konta has definitely found her feet on clay this season, a runner up in rome and morocco, she's now into the quarterfinals at the french open, the first british women to make it that far sincejo durie back in 1983. she beat donna vekic in straight sets, and miriam walker—khan was watching today, she did a good job at putting herfriendship with her today, she did a good job at putting her friendship with her opponent to one side to dig it was difficult to judge who would win with the pair battling through numerous stubborn rallies to dig her new mantra and her new coach —— is having autonomy on court to dig and she looked calm and collected, barely exchanging a glance. this week, konta said she is
11:16 pm
learning to trust herself as a player and that is exactly what she did. konta will hope to continue to work in —— walk in the footsteps of durie, and make it into the next round. and konta will now face last yea r‘s runner—up, sloane stephens, the american came through in straight sets against the 2016 champion garbine muguruza. konta has won both her previous matches against stephens. there were very straight—forward wins for roger federer and rafael nadal today — but the 2015 champion stan wawrinka needed five sets and more than five hours to beat stefanos tsitsipas — the longest match of this year's tournament so far and he'll face federer in an all swiss quarter—final. we've had our first upset at the cricket world cup, a 2i—run victory for bangladesh against south africa, who've now lost two matches following defeat to england in their opener. south africa won the toss and put bangladesh into bat at the oval — and they made their highest
11:17 pm
one—day total of 330—6. that set south africa what would have been a record world cup run chase, but they fell short on 309—8. mustafizur rahman was the pick of the bowlers with 3 wickets. halifax have become the first championship side in 13 years to reach the semi—finals of rugby league's challenge cup, thanks to a hard—fought win over fellow second tier side bradford bulls. they came from 6 nil down at halftime to win 20 points to 16, james woodburn—hall scored the decisive try. and the reward for halifax is a trip to super league leaders st helens while warrington will play hull fc. and for all the latest on the us women's open in south carolina, check our website. after facing backlash for booking acts who have called for members of the conservative party to be killed, glastonbury have withdrawn one band's booking from this summer's festival. in a statement posted on twitter
11:18 pm
this evening shangri—la, an area of the glastonbury festival, tweeted that killdren, a band with a song called ‘kill tory scum', will no longer be part of the festival. killdren‘s most well known song features the lyrics ‘even if it's your dad or your mum, kill tory scum. another band, fat white family, who have tweeted that anyone who voted tory ‘has blood on their hands' are still expected to perform. thejo cox foundation — which was set up to continue the work of the murdered labour mp — says the language these bands have used is completely abhorrent. earlier this evening chief executive of thejo cox foundation catherine anderson gave her reaction to the news that glastonbury have withdrawn the booking of one of these bands. it is pressure on them today and i think it is the right thing to do because in the end glastonbury was performing —— providing a platform for bands who were peddling some
11:19 pm
nasty and horrible views and i am pleased to hear that. when you first read this, what did you think?|j pleased to hear that. when you first read this, what did you think? i was very shocked, actually, but saw it as part of the general trend, a decay of discourse in public life that has disseminated into public life. i was shocked that glastonbury we re life. i was shocked that glastonbury were giving a platform to bands life. i was shocked that glastonbury were giving a platform to hands so incendiary and insightful of violence bidding specially since we are conscience —— conscious of what can happen when violence really does and in the ultimate tragedy and everything we were seeing, we cannot help but see through the prism ofjo cox but it cannot be denied that we are seeing a much worsening environment generally. what do you
11:20 pm
think lies behind that? we have become polarised, particularly in the last two years. i think there is much to be said for online abuse becoming much more prevalent and the fa ct becoming much more prevalent and the fact that people feel a license to speak ina fact that people feel a license to speak in a certain way and language is being normalised and legitimised. ido is being normalised and legitimised. i do think that we should remove the focus from what constitutes a criminal act or stop thinking about censorship and think more about the actual human impact of words and deeds on people. especially in public life. because these are human beings and people with a high profile are incredibly scared at the moment, mps who stand back from the edge of the tube and are being told to walk in pairs. it is really very concerning. and that is why at the
11:21 pm
jo cox foundation we are working with the committee on standards in public life to convene a joint code of conduct, standards for political parties and members to obey and then to feed out into a national standard of conduct because we have to stamp out this abuse. would that require a change of law? law only goes so far when we talk about a spectrum of language and abuse. i would rather see long—term deep—seated behavioural change in our society. this kind of intimidation in public life, this coarsening of language is socially unacceptable and we have to do frame that, change the environment root and branch and no
11:22 pm
law can do that. going back to where we began with reference to glastonbury, as we have established, killdren will no longer be part of the festival however fat white family still will. what would you tell glastonbury? i would urge them to think about the platform that they are providing and the messages that people are combining —— conveying on that platform. social media platforms need to clean up their act and media platforms need to clean up theiractand in media platforms need to clean up their act and in the n festivals may have to do the same. i would never call on glastonbury to cut an act, thatis call on glastonbury to cut an act, that is for them to decide but they need to think about the message they are sending and consider the fact that they could be complicit in enabling hate speech on one of their stages. this week, commemorations will take

place across britain and france to mark the 75th anniversary of the d—day landings — the allied invasion of normandy in 191m which did much to change the course of the second world war. our special correspondent allan little has been been meeting people who witnessed the battle for normandy. what happened on these beaches changed the course of human history and helped to liberate a continent.
