9:01 pm
and that is all we are going to see from the state banquet but two very interesting speech is that we just heard from the president donald trump and also from the queen. with me is daniela. world correspondent. quite interesting to listen to the queen. you get the sense the arc of history that the queen trace which she herself has played a part and. he made reference to that in her role in the service as a mechanic in the second world war and the blitz here in london and the role the royal family has played and for him it was a tribute to his host the queen. as you say, the president's speech felt like a tribute to the
9:02 pm
queen and what she has achieved to her long reign. her speech was about alliances, about friendship, about unity and about working together. a slightly different tone to both of their speeches. something a bit different. again with her speech, you were immediately struck by her longevity you're talking about eisenhower inviting her to herfirst visit talking about the war, d—day, working together. you were struck just by how much she has seen and experienced during her reign and in many ways, donald trump picked up on that in his own speech. the theme is the commemorations they will take pa rt the commemorations they will take part in on wednesday, the 75th commemorations of d—day and as you say, she spoke about eisenhower someone say, she spoke about eisenhower someone who being bass here a course around the corner at st james palace and then going off of course to oversee the fighting and it is a reminder as i say that she has personal memories of the things that she is remembering and she is one of
9:03 pm
the few world leaders who has those memories. she was able to talk with her sort of queen hat on, one of the better phrases as well as from her own personal experience during the war. that something so few people can give that kind of context to their own experience in terms of an official event like this. that did really strike you and clearly it is something that has struck donald trump as well in terms of what he had to say and response. she talked about the structures that are there and keeping a hard one piece. there have been critics of donald trump for undermining nato particularly, that seem to be a nod to the importance of the structures that emerged after the second world warand that emerged after the second world war and they put a lot of stock in that. we listen to every word we pick apart everything that we hear, is there anything that could be a
9:04 pm
little bit of a dig in that. and that was the moment during the speech, she talked about the importance of post war war of building an international institution. i they really matter and while the world has changed, we are forever mindful of the original purpose of the structures and institutions. the likes of native, the european union, you could argue, and that it is important that nations work together to keep one piece. we all need to work together. we cannot work in isolation. this is a team effort globally in order to keep that hard one piece stump there will be some intend watching this, thinking what is he going to say,m was really about the occasion of the royal family but what they're going be doing in the respect that he has for her. it was not a speech big on politics what is happening next, it
9:05 pm
was a tribute to her and very much a tribute to her and how he admires, talking about her dignity and the way she conductors of the screen, it is very much in her honour, saying thank to her. to the moment, thank you very much, we think the dinner will go on for about an hour and 30 minutes, to be three courses and who will bring you the pictures that we get as we start to leave buckingham palace, he'll be going back to when fieldhouse and the residents of the us ambassador who we saw there at the top table and of course, we get those exit pictures, you'll get them first. i will bring you back to karen in the studio. just a recap of what has been going on. we have been covering this over the past few hours. the us president is being treated to a state banquet in buckingham place, the latest event in a day of pomp and ceremony that has also been
9:06 pm
marred by controversy. the president has already given his verdict on twitter here is president trump arriving for the state banquet alongside the queen. behind them first lady melania trump with prince charles. we're told tonight they will be dining on halibut and windsor lamb with strawberry sable for desert. several politicians are snubbing the state banquet. one of them isjeremy corbyn, leader of the opposition labour party. he declined his invitation and instead he's going to speak at a protest against donald trump tomorrow. the world and in our own country —
9:07 pm
including, just this morning, sadiq khan, the mayor of london, who has criticised rolling out the red carpet for the president. in response, as president trump landed this morning he tweeted: regardless of the hositility on social media, the labour party are wrong to skip the state banquet. the united states has an enduring constitution, a democratic process, yes, they have a controversial president who, in the modern world of twitter and social media, handles political communications in a different way. but to respond to that by protesting against that is, by protesting against him is, apart from being rude, i think, illjudged. and for politicians to do it, those who hope to be future ministers, who hope to be in government, even the shadow foreign secretary. what kind of relationship does emily thornberry and jeremy corbyn think that, if ever they were in government,
9:08 pm
they would have with the united states if they had behaved like this? another person who is absent from the dinner is duchess of sussex, who has previously criticised president trump, saying he was misogynistic and divisive during his 2016 presidential campaign. before arriving on the state visit president trump told the sun newspaper "i didn't know that she was nasty". the duchess is on on maternity leave during president trump's visit, looking after her three—week—old son archie. here's what the president's been up to he was was welcomed to buckingham palace by the queen, with an honour guard of gerenadiers, while a iii—gun salute was fired in green park. the president and first lady visited westminster abbey, where donald trump laid a wreath at the tomb of the unknown warrior. especially poignant, as this week marks the 75th anniversary of the normandy landings america's first couple then had afternoon tea with prince charles and camilla, the duchess of cornwall.
9:09 pm
the visit has also seen some protests, this one is by amnesty international, who criticise donald turmp's human rights record. larger demonstrations against the presient are expected tomorrow everything has gone very smoothly, he says that he is always amazed at how donald trump could come out and the headlines and then the news generally, we touched down this morning for the comments and that might‘ve played some slightly on edge and those in the government and royal family who were not sure where he would go, but to the course of the day, it has been handshakes, politeness and studiously observing the protocol from the get—go,
9:10 pm
really. from the moment he touched down in the gardens of buckingham palace, he was very careful that he did not get himself in front of the queen and spent quite a long time talking to the soldiers as he walked down with the guard of honour and to the course of the afternoon, we see him in the company of various other royals, taking quite an front seat in the proceedings, they had tea this evening and he is on the top table with the queen and was just for that speech, it was a tribute to the respect that he has for the queen. how much did donald trump want this visit? how much of a boost is this for him, particularly back home? i think you made the important distinction about how it seems back home than the diplomatic relationship between the united kingdom, especially at the moment
9:11 pm
where there is a political vacuum an awful political flux here here where there is a political vacuum an awful politicalflux here here in the uk. and back in the united states, we touched down today, is it a clock on the east coast and all the networks shifted to what is happening here, and there is an arms fascination in the united states with the royal family. fascination in the united states with the royalfamily. notjust fascination in the united states with the royal family. notjust the politics but the royal family. with the royal family. notjust the politics but the royalfamily. these are pictures that show donald trump and the controversy and the talk of impeachments, but here she is in the presence of one of the great world leaders and that is of enormous value to a president who is starting his 2020 reelection campaign. we will let you go what they are dining and such splendour. thank you very much. it's been a violent day in sudan. the country's military rulers used force to disperse protesters in the capital khartoum.
9:12 pm
at least 13 people were killed and dozens more injured. soldiers opened fire in the early morning. here's what it sounded like. if we'd let that clip roll any longer you would have seen some distressing images — dead bodies and people frantically dragging them out of the way. this next clip is from the same video about 30 seconds later. it shows the fear and panic on the streets. the african union and the united nations are already calling for an independent investigation. in the meantime protesters have responded by building barricades. they've cobbled them together using tyres, tree branches, whatever they can get their hands on and whatever will burn. here's one of them speaking after the crack down.
9:13 pm
translation: after the dispersal, thank goodness of the help of the youth, we closed the streets and we will close everything again, god willing. activists in sudan have been protesting since the end of last year. at first the target caro was the country's long—time ruler president 0mar al—bashir. his 30—year reign ended in april when he was forced out by the military. he was replaced by a transitional military council. it was set—up to oversee the transition to civilian rule. there was just one hitch. the military said the transition period would last for two years... much longer than pro—democracy activists are prepared to wait. more protests followed, while talks between the military council and the protesters failed to make any progress. mohanad hashim from bbc africa was in khartoum for some of those protests last month. you'll make what you're hearing is that in the early hours
9:14 pm
about a couple of thousand foot soldiers, mostly rapid support for the police soldiers, stormed the nile avenue area of sit and and then from there, they chased more protesters from the sit in, this man has two the whole story in, this man has the whole story since he's been there since the 6th of april. the background to this is that the council has been giving out statements throughout the past three or four weeks, saying that there are criminal elements that have infiltrated the sit in and at that there are some unruly, insidious force that is orchestrating violence and yesterday, they said that what is happening is a threat to national security, as a precursor and today, tonight, they issued statement a couple of hours ago saying they had been
9:15 pm
total communication with the forces for freedom and change and they have made them aware of their intentions to chase the so—called criminal elements out of the sit—in. you spent a lot of time on the streets of khartoum do you think there was a justification for the military has said about criminal elements? when you put this to the protesters themselves, they deny that and they i went to this area and i did not feel unsafe and i did not notice any criminal activity and from the incidents, this is the fourth or fifth incidents of force being used in the past four weeks, the crackdown has been widespread across the city, the city of 8 million, to think that today, all bridges are blocked, the streets across the city are barricaded and there are tens of houses that are mourning, hundreds of houses that are concerned for either missing some loved ones or some
9:16 pm
loved ones have been injured, there are hospitals that have been stormed by the security force and there are rumours circulating of bodies floating in the river. it is very grim and it is horrific what has happened. the transitional military council's actions have drawn condemnation. the chairperson of the african union tweeted the un secretary—general, the us and the uk have also also condemned the attack. britain's ambassador in khartoum, irfan siddiq, made his position very clear, saying but it's egypt's words which might carry the most weight. it's called for an end to violence and a return to diplomacy. it is a strong backer of the sudanese military. another two key backers of sudan's military are saudi arabia and the united arab emirates. their governments pledged three—billion dollars in aid to sudan last month. here's mohanad hashim again.
9:17 pm
and saudi arabia, they have been seen as and saudi arabia, they have been seen as the transition of military counsel of the last week in ten days, we have seen the leader of the transitional military counsel and his deputy, was the commander of the rs f, touring the region and they seem rs f, touring the region and they seem to have appeared to have been emboldened by the backing from their government. stay with us on outside source — still to come. the war of words between the us and mexico. the mexican foreign minister tells donald trump his plans for tarrifs will backfire.
9:18 pm
9:19 pm
addressing a banquet attended by the queen. in both their speeches president trump and the queen paid tribute to the soldiers who lost their lives in the d—day landings 75 years ago. the power of silicon valley's tech giants appears to be under growing scrutiny in the united states. this tweet from bloomberg's technology feed and they're not alone. this from reuters our correspondent michelle fleury is in new york whilst you're there we've heard they have raised a lot of questions
9:20 pm
about the text sector technology sector, your seen about the text sector technology sector, your seen these regulators begin to take this seriously, these stocks have all substantially been lowered. but we have seen over the course of the weekend is reports that regulators in america have started carving out which departments will investigate which of these big tech companies. the wall streetjournal reported of these big tech companies. the wall street journal reported that there will be looking into google, there will be looking into google, the federal trade commission, according to the washington post will be looking at amazon. carving up will be looking at amazon. carving up the work so that you do not have duplication. this is all fairly sort of routine in some ways, but what it signifies and the reasons why you saw in the share price, is for regulators to get serious and ways that they were not in the past. the last big antitrust case to be seen here in america was 20 years ago
9:21 pm
that involved microsoft and in part, the companies have been very successful because they been able to make the case that, where's the harm being done to american consumers but we have been providing a free service in exchange for people's data. the latest front in president trump's trade wars is this 3,100km border with its southern neighbour mexico. from next week the us president wants to impose tariffs on everything that comes into his country because he thinks mexico isn't doing enough to stop illegal migration and drugs. almost $350bn worth of goods came from mexico into the us last year and the mexican government want to keep them tariff free which is why several of its ministers are in washington today trying to stop them coming into force. one is the foreign minister.
9:22 pm
translation: slapping tariffs, along with the decision to cancel the aid programs to the northern central american countries, could have a counter productive effect and cause instability which means that mexico would have a reduced capacity to address migration flows and offer alternatives to the new migrants who have recently arrived in mexico. our correspondent barbara plett—usher it is an emergency mission to get them to change its mind and the message in a nutshell is essentially that they have been taking steps to try and stem the flow of new migrants, but the resources are limited and this is a humanitarian and social issue, see you need a different way to solve the problem of them fleeing these areas and if
9:23 pm
you add tariffs, decadents destabilise mexico economically which can make it even harderfor them to stop the flow of migrants. so that is the argument, they are trying to get a negotiated solution to this but they are considering other options if that does not work, for example, putting tariffs on select us goods. what are the chances of the us backing down on what was a rather sudden announcement? q3. sudden announcement? i think these ministers will have quite a sympathetic hearing from their counterparts but it is president trump that is making the decision and he has been issuing quite a tonne of messages saying that he wants to see action and not words, he fully expects at least the first 5% tariff to going to play on the 10th ofjune, it is worth noting that eight days later on the 18th of
9:24 pm
june, president trump is planning to announce his second term presidential run and do you know that clamping down on immigration has been the signature issue for his first campaign it will be for a second. what's been the response from business in the us who are unhappy about this? pretty universally negative. they said that this is going be bad for us consumers and it will be back for us consumers and it will be back for us business. because it is americans that will be paying these tariffs that will be paying these tariffs that are essentially taxes that they will be paying more for everything from cards to chipotle burritos because they will have tariffs on them and business, a number of complaints for the main ones is the supply lines are integrated because if you just look at auto parts for example, they crossed the border several times, up to eight times before a vehicle is assembled and so the cost simply increases, and also the cost simply increases, and also the broader concern that will make it more difficult to clinch that new mexico, canada, us free trade
9:25 pm
agreement. lets to show you from buckingham palace. donald trump is attending his banquet with the queen on the first day of this state visit, he arrived with milani, his wife on air force one, this morning and then was taken to the area of london, staying in buckingham palace because of the renovations meaning they will go with the us ambassador and his sizeable residence in the region's park. theresa may is also attending that banquet and the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, is boycotting the state dinner, instead going to attend a demonstration instead. we'll be back live outside of buckingham palace in a few minutes' time. stay with us.
9:26 pm
hello there. many parts of the country saw a lot of cloud over the week and britain had a brief short heatwave, 29 and lawful, making it the hottest of the year so far, those temperatures came down across the southeast and through monday the rest of the week it is looking u nsu btle rest of the week it is looking unsubtle thanks to series of low pressure which will give us quite a bit of rain at times, and it will be on the cool side for the time of year. that's a look at tuesday, this is the low pressure bringing a shower in breezy condition, this is the next day of low pressure which will bring some wet weather to the southwest corner of the country, first thing on tuesday morning. further north we could start with a bit of sunshine and it will be quite
9:27 pm
a wet story for the southwest and wales, the rain pushing to central and southern scotland, northern ireland and pushing into the eastern side, we could see if you heavy showers on the far south east coast, but we could also see the best of the sunshine push through and the far north of scotland largely drive cooler at 11 or 12 celsius, low pressure still with us then as we head into wednesday, slowly moving and and bring some wet weather to scotland, this wet weather could also threaten the southeast corner of england with some heavy and maybe sundry showers bit to the westward extent of that, elsewhere though, the waves will be quite cool and wet and we could see some sunshine around they could spark off a few heavy showers across some areas with temperatures around 13 and 1a a 17 or 18 temperatures around 13 and 1a a 17 or18 in the temperatures around 13 and 1a a 17 or 18 in the south. this feature as we head into thursday, it will run to the north sea and bring some wet weather east to the side of the
9:28 pm
country, moving toward scotland for thursday and it can be particularly heavy and persistent elsewhere. sparking off the scattering of showers and heavy and thundering around southern areas, a bit below the seasonal average and low to mid teens celsius and high teens in the south. it becomes more uncertain as he had to the week towards the weekend, the pressure to the north of the uk, the area of pressure could bring some thundering rain to the south and the southeast and some uncertainty will be on this. it looks like a day of light winds, some sunshine but also if few showers that could prove heavy again, this temperatures reaching the highest of the mid to upper teens celsius. let's head into this area of low pressure that will bring another round of wet weather to the side of the country, here another area of low pressure threatening to
9:29 pm
bring further showers to the south and southwest of the country, it is really about low pressure this week and into the weekend and farmers will appreciate the rain across there as it has been ever so dry, but it could be quite heavy on saturday across the north of the country further is an heavy showers and some sunshine in between. 50 beyond the weekend, does look like low pressure continues to bring u nsettled low pressure continues to bring unsettled conditions, sunshine and chosen as we head into the following week, it could be this ridge of high pressure dress to move to the south that could bring some dry weather and an increase of sunshine but there is some uncertainty to the forecast, so stay tuned.
9:30 pm
hello, i'm karin giannone. this is outside source. president trump is in london not far away from here having dinner with the queen. the queen welcomed the president into buckingham palace's dining room, the highlight of a state visit designed to renew a close relationship. tonight, we celebrate an alliance that has helped to ensure the safety and prosperity of both our peoples for decades. and which i believe will endure for many years to come. mr trump's visit will coincide
9:31 pm
with the 75th anniversary of the d—day landings, when british and american forces forces fought together. we thank god for the brave sons of the nights as a briton who defeated the nights as a briton who defeated the nazis whose bonds were forever sealed in that crusade. (sot) and in the indian himalayas, a helicopter crew searching for eight missing climbers has spotted five bodies. there was plenty of pomp and ceremony during the first day of president trump's state visit but there was also plenty of politics. tomorrow, the president has a meeting scheduled with theresa may the outgoing british prime minister. today, those vying to replace her have been telling us what they think about the president. president trump of course has already had his say, before he left washington,
9:32 pm
telling the sun newspaper he backed borisjohnson for leader, saying, "i think boris would do a very good job. i think he would be excellent." it stands repeating — even though much of what president trump does is unconventional, it really is extremely unusual for a us president to plunge headfirst into the domestic politics of one of its allies. he also said he liked jeremy hunt, another leading contender. the foreign secretary went to the airport to meet mr trump off the plane earlier. this goes beyond the relationships between two politicians, between the prime minister of the uk and the president of the united states was up president of the united states was up at sober in the relationship between our two countries. why does that matter today? this isn'tjust about history. we have a much more autocratic china, a much more aggressive russia. and the world is looking at the uk and the usa as the two principal guardians of democratic values across the world. the big political row
9:33 pm
so far this trip, as we were discussing earlier, has been between the mayor of london sadiq khan who compared mr trump to a "20th century fascist" and mr trump, who responded calling him, "a stone—cold loser". potential prime ministers have been taking different positions on that. jeremy hunt criticised sadiq khan for what he called his "great discourtesy". taking a different line sometimes helps you stand out — especially when there are 13 candidates — and that's what another tory hopeful matt hancock did today, here's what he said. the president is well—known to have strong views. what i'd say is that i'm proud that we have the first muslim mayor of a major western capital. and although i disagree with sadiq khan on some things and i don't think that he's really delivered, i think that we in the same way we respect the office of the president, so we should respect the office of the mayor of london. mr hancock is trying to position
9:34 pm
himself as more liberal and anti—trump than the other contenders, and not just on that one issue. the health secretary set out his policy on brexit earlier. once britain leaves the eu, a trade deal with the united states is something both countries have talked about — in fact donald trump tweeted about it this evening... going down that route would involve some controversial choices of course. here's the us ambassador on the andrew marr programme yesterday. your national health care services the pride of your country, it's a highly, emotionally charged issue. do you think health care has to be pa rt of do you think health care has to be part of the deal? i think probably the entire economy in a trade deal, all things that are traded would be on the table. which includes health care? i think so.
9:35 pm
on the table. which includes health care? ithink so. met on the table. which includes health care? i think so. met hancock responded —— respond with this... let's bring in christian fraser. at buckingham palace while the banquet goes on. and as he might have expected, donald trump has not held back from getting fully involved in some of the major issues the uk is grappling with right now. ahead of his visit, he was vocal about who he likes to see at number ten and the role for nigel farage and of course the ambassador talking about what might be on the table in about what might be on the table in a trade deal, all things will be, but the british side pushing back on certain things like the nhs, certain protections for farmers, all of that is going to be discussed as part and parcel of the trade deal. today has been about the pomp and ceremony. it is tomorrow where things will get a little trickier for theresa may because of course she is on her way out of the door, formally resigns on friday. and then there is this vacuum. we saw today with the white
9:36 pm
house briefing that there seemed to be some confusion over the one to one discussion. he supposed be having with the prime minister would seem having with the prime minister would seem to slip off the agenda. number ten pushing back and saying "they will be talking tomorrow". but he will be talking tomorrow". but he will have one eye on the future and he will see how the bookmakers look at the various leadership candidates, boris jansen is upfront, that michael gove and jeremy hunt are not far behind. and he will be looking at those three candidates and asking what they offer the united states and may be two of them tonight in the banquet, jeremy hunt and michael gove, may be there hoping to pick up a bit of intel. what is thought to be the value if you are a tory leadership candidate of having the backing of the president of the united states?|j think president of the united states?” think that is very debatable. that's a good point you make. as kay does borisjohnson won the endorsement of the president when he divides opinion as he does in the united
9:37 pm
kingdom. don't forget who is electing chores —— borisjohnson. it's not the public at large, it is 100,000 conservative members. and some 100,000 conservative members. and some of them could warm to some of the themes donald trump is plugged up. i don't think it would do him any harm in the eyes of those supporters. it might divide opinion in the wider country. it might be one of the reasons although donald trump tells us that others have asked for his endorsement, but it may be why figures like —— kay michael gove and jimmy hunt have not hoarded him the same way that nigel farage and boris johnson hoarded him the same way that nigel farage and borisjohnson have. and it will remain be seen tomorrow what sort of visible role they have alongside the president and indeed whether is that visit because boris johnson's team telus at the moment they have heard nothing from the white house in terms of an invitation. a more white hard question for you before we let you go. what are they eating in there,
9:38 pm
just opulent is it? oh, it's properly opulent. they have spent four days setting the table, ironing the table cloths, all the placements have been set, 18 inches apart. the queen caster eye over the menu, there are four different menus i'm told that they came to look at and then there was one that was picked and on the menu tonight, we understand there is have a bite and thenit understand there is have a bite and then it is windsor graham which i had to look up, windsor graham is from the windsor estate. and there is strawberry and of course the president has a sweet tooth. i am sure he will be looking forward to the desert part of the meal. the one thing to say of course is that in front of each of them is six classes one for shipping, red and white wine, one for dessert one, port, and another for water. but the wine, one for dessert one, port, and anotherfor water. but the president does not drink. 50, the chateau, i
9:39 pm
was going to give you the full title of the wine but i can't even remember it. chateau the feet, they go. i know my wine, christian sabella £1400 a bottle from the buckingham palace seller! it's a shame he doesn't dream because it sounds very tc indeed. christian, think very much. we will let you know and have some sustenance now. thanks very much. tomorrow when president trump meets theresa may there are a number of issues where britain and the united states are very far apart. not least, huawei. britain is considering letting the chinese technology firm play a part in developing its new 5g telecommunications network — and washington doesn't like that. last week the financial times reported mr trump plans to use tomorrow's meeting to deliver a threat in person that the us would limit the amount of intelligence it shared with the uk unless it changed its mind. before leaving washington president trump certainly didn't deny that,
9:40 pm
he told the sunday times... here's what the foreign secretary had to say, about that. we made it very clear that we would never take a decision that risked our ability to share intelligence with the united states and our five partners. and we will take a decision in the british national interest at the appropriate time. of course, we listened to what the americans have said, we take that onboard very carefully. let's go to washington. jow—in fung is from the bbc‘s chinese service. are we expecting president trump to put pressure on theresa may when they meet tomorrow? yes, trump is labour to do so. the us has no closer ally than the uk and both countries are in five eyes
9:41 pm
intelligence sharing alliance with new zealand, canada and australia, all these countries have put on a red white with huawei with the uk being the only exception. here in washington, the trump administration remains highly sceptical against huawei. recently putting the company on the blacklist which effectively blocks all american companies from doing business with huawei and secretary of state pompeo called huawei an instrument of chinese government highlighting the security threat of the company spying for the beijing government which huawei has denied. and if you look at the governments of the big talks, talks... he will use is opportunity likely to pressure ones and on huawei to gain bargaining power. is this an issue where the two countries can just agree to disagree?
9:42 pm
it's really difficult to find a middle ground here. you either use or not use huawei devices and if a country decides to include huawei in their 5g network, they are considered to be on the opposite side of the us. and for the uk, it's a very tough decision to make. and a lot of people see the huawei bit as only a small piece of the emerging trade were between the us and china, the world's two largest economies. we have seen countries stuck in between hoping to not pick a side but it will be a tough call for them to make. zhaoyin, think very much. five bodies have been spotted in the search for eight missing climbers in the himalayas. those missing are four britons, two americans, an australian and an indian who have not been seen or heard from since the 26th of may. a group of 12 climbers had permits to climb
9:43 pm
the nanda devi mountain, india's second highest peak at 7,816—metres tall. led by an experienced british mountain guide, the group made it to base camp before splitting into two groups. those missing were attempting to ascend an unclimbed summit, the path of which you can see there on the left. the four climbers who split off from the group were rescued, and have been aiding search teams. one of those rescued mark thomas told authorities they tried to make contact with the missing climbers. it's a big problem... as you heard there, the mountain has been hit by a number of avalanches, as captured in this image taken by search and rescue teams.
9:44 pm
authorities are continuing their search in this highly dangerous terrain, wary of making sure no more lives are lost in this search. the bbc‘s yogita limaye is on the ground following developments. a helicopter from the a helicopterfrom the indian air force went on a search operation over the mountain again today. and what they found is that they spotted five bodies on the slopes of the mountain. they were also able to ta ke mountain. they were also able to take photographs and book and closely at the photographs, they are able to say that those are five bodies. they have also been able to find tracking care such as six and shoes according to what the official said. these photographs they've taken our low said. these photographs they've ta ken our low resolution said. these photographs they've taken our low resolution because they seem to have been taken from quite a height above the mountain. they are not able to confirm the identities of the climbers. but officials here have said that they do believe these are some of the eight climbers who've been missing since friday. of course they need to
9:45 pm
