hello and welcome to bbc news. i'm reged ahmad. we start with breaking news: president trump says the threat of tarrifs against mexico has been "indefinitely suspended" after the two countries reached a deal. the us had been asking mexico to do more to stop migrants from central america reaching its southern border. live now to washington and our correspondent chris buckler. we are getting some details now.

what do we know? in recent days we have sent mexico to do its best to crack down on some of those roots used to move groups of migrants from central america for mexico to the united states. they have already promised to deploy thousands of members of his national guard to its southern border with guatemala. trying to stop smuggling groups and the like. now we have seen a key concession by mexico, something that had been fought for and agreed to. it says it will now allow people who claim asylum in the united states to be returned to mexico while they wait for that case to be heard and thatis wait for that case to be heard and that is a key concession which president trump has been looking for in these talks. he returned from europe to washington, ahead of the announcement that a deal had been done, and it is clear he is pleased to get this finally done. he said in a tweet, that they agreed to strong

measures to stem the tide of migration from mexico onto america's southern border and he said as a result, these tariffs due to coming place on monday, they would have put 596 place on monday, they would have put 5% on all goods imported from mexico, have been suspended indefinitely. it is worth remembering just the impact that could have had on mexico's economy so could have had on mexico's economy so the mexican government were worried and that is why they came to the negotiating table. this has happened in the last couple of hours but are we getting reactions from republicans, businesses to this agreement? yes, i think there is a relief all around. actually, some republicans inside congress, members of donald trump's party, had been consent of the impact on the us economy as well as mexico's. ultimately tariffs are paid for by american companies and consumers. mexico, of course, had been very concerned. we have been hearing these positive words over the past

24 these positive words over the past 2a hours, particularly from the mexican president, saying time and time again they wanted to come to a conclusion but wanted to keep a friendly relationship with america and all the talks around these negotiations has been to try to bring the us on board and to show that mexico that that but mexico has been doing to try to resolve the problems. as far as president trump is concerned, they will continue talking for the next 90 days and that they will address thanks again if they do not feel the action has had enough movement to address the real problems at the borders between these countries but, at the same time, this is certainly a breakthrough. mexico are going to be very pleased, despite the ominous words inside this statement from donald trump saying the terrace have been indefinitely suspended, that means there is still a threat for the future if the outcomes are not what he likes. thank you so much.

let's get some of the day's other news: more than four million venezuelans have now left the country as the political and economic crisis continues. the un says the pace of people fleeing has "skyrocketed" since the end of 2015. venezuela's imploding economy has meant shortages of basic supplies, such as food and medicines three people have been killed after their boat capsized off the west coast of france, during storm miguel. they were part of a crew of seven who had gone to the aid of another boat which had got into difficulty. facebook has announced it will stop its apps being pre—installed on huawei devices. it follows a us government decision to bar american companies from using foreign telecom firms it regards as a security risk. facebook said that people who already own a huawei phone can continue to use the apps. the women's world cup began in paris on friday, with the favourites france beating south korea 4—0 in front of a huge crowd. the organisers are billing it as the biggest women's world cup ever.

the ethiopian prime minister, abiy ahmed, has called for unity in sudan and a quick transition to democracy. mr ahmed has been trying to mediate between the military council and pro—democracy groups, after dozens of protestors were killed earlier this week. catherine byaruhanga has been meeting the relatives of one of those killed. it's the kind of grief that can be understood anywhere in the world. why my beautiful son? i want him to have kids and get married, and he had his life. mohammed celebrated his 26th birthday hours before he was killed protesting for democracy. family and friends continue to mourn a man they say was a natural leader. mohammed was studying engineering

at brunel university in london. he recently came back home for his sister's wedding, and joined the sit—in against military rule. this is thought to be the last footage of him. i told him today maybe they are going to do bad things. he said, he know, and he has to do his work. mohammed is from an influential family, but that did not save him. this conflict has touched people from all walks of life. ethiopian's prime minister has spent the day trying to mediate after security forces killed more than a hundred protesters and talks collapsed. activists insist they will only negotiate once there is justice for the victims. friday prayers at the mosque in khartoum. this is another community that has been attacked. people have set up barricades

all over this neighbourhood to protect themselves from government militia. they say a few days ago one person was killed outside a bakeryjust down the road, another in front of the local mosque. they're sceptical about whether negotiations with the military can work out. translation: the only way to have successful talks is by publishing who committed these crimes, and we think the only ones responsible for the crimes are the military council. so, do you think there's a chance that you can negotiate with the military council? translation: there is no chance for negotiation with the army, because they're not honest or serious. they have lied and been manipulative from the start. there is little comfort to be found in sudan at the moment. this is a nation still in shock, and unsure what comes next. catherine byaru hanga, bbc news, khartoum. space tourism, once

a distant dream for many, will become a reality from next year according to nasa. but anyone hoping to visit the international space station will need plenty of money to spare — a round trip costing about $58 million. but nasa says numbers will be limited. we are enabling private astronaut missions to the international space station. nasa will support up to two short duration private astronaut missions per year to the international space station, beginning as early as 2020. these missions will be privately funded, dedicated commercial space flights allowing approved commercial activities to be conducted on board the station. when construction began on the sagrada familia cathedral in barcelona 137 years ago, it seems there was one thing the architect forgot — planning permission. but now, that's finally been put right after the city's authorities awarded a building permit. the lack of the document was only

discovered three years ago. let's return to our top story: the us and mexico have reached an agreement on immigration in order to avoid the threatened tariffs. a seniorfellow at the chicago council on global affairs and a former trade adviser to george w bush jpoin us. we have seen some details come out. what is your reaction to this deal? first, it is a very good thing that the united states is not going to try to apply tariffs on monday. it

is hard to know all the details because we have only mostly seen tweets coming from each side. it is pretty clear that this did not solve the problem that the president identified, he started with illegal immigration and moved on to drugs but it looks like he back to down. this seems to be some substance. the deployment of the national guard to the southern border and a programme to send asylum seekers are back to mexico. something has been extracted here. that's right and it is hard to know how significant and how much, for example, the national guards movement was already in the works. there are some moves. mexico was trying to address this problem a nyways. trying to address this problem anyways. the president faced a lot of opposition, both from members of his party, from business community,

it looked like the plan may not have been feasible. it is nice that mexico helped out. is this still a donald trump win because to his base, to which he is often directing his comments to, he has extracted something, he has potentially held mexico to ransom over tariffs and he has got something out of it. he will absolutely claim it as a when and it depends what your standard is. if thatis depends what your standard is. if that is all a win requires then they will be satisfied with that. i doubt we will get much subsidy of change and worth keeping in mind this will do damage to trade relations between the countries. the new deal was supposed to bring certainty to the relationship, to investors and this undermines it. note that the president did not say this was done, he said he was indefinitely suspending the tariffs. the deal you are referring to is the replacement

to marcelo ebrard. what about the relationship between the two countries? mexico had complied and struck initially i bilateral deal with the us and canada. it was at the very moment that the white house was trying to push through, all three countries the president decided to attack again with these tariffs, that has to be at least unsettling. thank you forjoining us. 0scar winning 0livia colman has been made a cbe in the queen's birthday honours. but the majority of the awards have gone to people who are making a difference in their communities across the world. here's our entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba.

sally challen, who's 65, was jailed for life in 2011 for her attack on richard challen in surrey. her original conviction was quashed earlier this year. she has now accepted a charge of manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility after the old bailey heard she left feeling "trapped and manipulated" in her marriage. a warning, our home affairs correspondentjune kelly's report contains some flash photography. cheering and applause. eight years ago, sally challen was jailed as a murderer. today, she left the old bailey a free woman after the emergence of new psychiatric evidence. with her, her two sons, james and david, who have always supported her. ijust wanted to say how happy i am, and i want to thank my legal team and all my family, who stood behind me and stood with me through all of this. thank you. as a family we are overjoyed with today's verdict.

this we have endured nine years of this. today recognises and hears a case of detailing 40 years of coercive control by our father. as a family we have sought justice and to understand the events, to stop lives being lost and for victims to be recognised. sally challen was said to have been psychologically abused by her husband richard throughout their marriage. they made their home in surrey and on the surface he was a typical family man. but the family say he subjected his wife to what has become known as coercive control. richard challen was unfaithful throughout his marriage, visiting brothels and even posing with glamour models on his christmas cards. in 2009, sally challen finally moved out. but described as still emotionally dependent on her husband, she appealed for a reconciliation and richard challen agreed. she set off for her old family home but in her handbag was a hammer. after discovering her husband had been in contact with another woman, she hit him more than 20

times with the hammer. at a news conference, sally challen spoke about the man she was with for a0 years. i still love richard and miss him dreadfully and i wish that none of this had happened. applause. and from her son david, there was this... to have my mother back is... there's no words. it's back to being a son again, and back to her being an infuriating mother. laughter. with no retrial in this case, lawyers are still waiting to see coercive control tested as a factor in a defence to murder.

when parliament makes new laws, as it did in the case of coercive control, its really helpful if that goes to court so that the judges can interpret that law. sally challen now resumes her family life. her case will lead to renewed debate on the damage done by domestic abuse when there are no physical injuries. four young men, aged between 15 and 18, have been arrested on suspicion of robbery and aggravated grievous bodily harm. it follows an attack on two women, on a london night bus. the assault on melania and her girlfriend chris, took place as they were travelling in the early hours.

the attackers asked the couple to kiss, while making sexual gestures. here's the bbc‘s lgbt correspondent, ben hunte. covered in blood on a london bus. after holding hands, a group of men asked the couple to kiss, and began harassing them. they got up out of their seats and walked over to where we were and started very aggressively harassing us. after asking the men to stop they were left with black eyes, a cracked jaw and a suspected broken nose. i don't know how we got from fighting on the top of the bus down to the lower deck, but in that timeframe, they took my phone, her bag, and they ran off the bus. summer marks pride season across the world. in just a few weeks, lesbian, gay, bisexual and tra nsgender people, as well as their allies, will be out celebrating one of the country's biggest events, pride in london. these streets will be filled with proud lgbt people celebrating their visibility. butjust to this time last year, research found more than two—thirds of lgbt people were too scared to hold their same—sex partner's

hand in public. this attack will serve as a reality check as to why more awareness is needed today. we are hoping the government is going to do more in terms of legislation. we want to have equaljustice, so that when somebody is being sentenced for a crime against lg bt people, it is the same as if it were a crime based on racism, or against somebody because of their faith. chris and melania want some good to come from this incident. i want people to take away that they should stand up for themselves and stand up for each other. but they say they won't be changing their behaviour because of it. a new report by a conservation group says yellowfin tuna stocks in the indian ocean are on the verge of collapse. the blue marine foundation blames overfishing by european fleets and urges consumers to avoid buying fresh or frozen yellowfin tuna. live now to san francisco,

where we can talk to dr luis rocha, who works at california academy of sciences, which is home to one of the largest and most important collections of fish in the world. dr rocha, thank you so much for your time. thanks for having me. in the uk, at least, you can go to the store and see tens of yellowfin tuna and purchase it. why is there not a ban on buying this fish, on fishing this fish, if stocks are about to collapse? it is very hard. first of all, these stocks assessment differs from the conservation assessment. those are two different things and scientists from different fields can look at the same data and come to different conclusions. fishermen

might say, yes, the stock has declined a lot but it is stable and it is not going to decline any more. where is a conservation biologist might say, it has declined a lot and we need to stop fishing. that is the first disagreement, and that disagreement causes the managing agencies not to completely ban the fishing of it. it sounds like there isa fishing of it. it sounds like there is a lot of work to do yet in that area. absolutely. but it is world 0cea ns area. absolutely. but it is world 0ceans day, area. absolutely. but it is world 0cea ns day, so area. absolutely. but it is world 0ceans day, so we're looking at of different threats to the ocean. plastic is one of them, but what would you say is the biggest threat to the world's oceans. would you say is the biggest threat to the world's oceanslj would you say is the biggest threat to the world's oceans. i think today the biggest threat to the world's ocea ns the biggest threat to the world's oceans ‘s climate, climate change. the climate crisis, rising temperatures, they are really wrecking several ocean ecosystems, especially coral reefs. and what can be done about it? are we seeing any change at all? globally, sadly, we're not seeing any change. i think everybody is more conscious of it,

everybody is more conscious of it, everybody trying to do their part. so we are trying to decrease our plastic consumption, we are trying to decrease our carbon footprint, but this situation is so bad that if we do not have global change very soon, it is going to be very bad for several ecosystems in the ocean. we hear a lot about the climate emergency, after we saw those protests happening around the world. very briefly, what is the one thing that needs to happen right now in order to help save the world's oceans? i think it is policy change. that is the one thing that needs to happen. ijust that is the one thing that needs to happen. i just came that is the one thing that needs to happen. ijust came back from french polynesia. i was diving in reefs that i thought would not be touched by humans, or away from lots of different impacts, and they were bleaching. it was not the local split was fault. it was not what they were doing. it was not because of the plastic in the ocean. it was because the temperature of the entire ocean is changing and to

reverse that we need global action, global policy change. a sombre note to end on. dr luis rocha, thank you so much for your time. thank you for having me. the novel to kill a mockingbird is one of the best—known works of literary fiction. but the story of racism in the justice system of america's deep south has also become one of the most profitable plays, with a stage adaptation on broadway making more than $40 million since it opened last december. nick bryant reports from new york. we have to heal this wound or we will never stop bleeding. a classic of american literature has become a box office sensation of american theatre. aaron sorkin's adaptation of to kill a mockingbird, a story set in the american south, of racial injustice, where a black man is accused of raping a young white woman. let's begin with justice. you know what happened on november 21st, you know it. don't do this. the central character, the heroic lawyer atticus finch, is played byjeff daniels,

who has received a tony nomination for the role. and although the play itself has been controversially overlooked for the top award, it has been enormously popular with audiences. the play, at its heart, is about decency, and what it means to be a person. and that's a story that i think we're thirsty for right now. all of the world, but especially in this country. the play is set in the days ofjim crow, the system of racial apartheid which wasn't dismounted until the civil rights reforms of the 1960s. the theme of racial division resonates still today. why in the world should this story still be relevant today? it feels to me like it's more relevant now, even, then it was back then. we speak now at a time when america has had an african—american president, there have been various civil rights acts, yet this problem still persists. this problem still persists. that should be on a t—shirt. in the characters of the play —

from atticus finch to bob ewell, the town drunk — he sees the warring tribes who make up modern america. the elites and their heartland critics. there is a large swathe of the country, large enough to elect donald trump, that feels the way bob ewell feels about atticus. 0k? "you think you're so much better than i am, don't you? "you think you're so much better than i am. "you look down your nose at me, you people on the coast, you elites. "you think you're so much better than i am." and it's that "you think you're so much better than i am" crowd that just, more than anything, wanted to stick it to the rest of us. and i think that donald trump was elected because he's a fantastic stick with which to poke liberals in the eye. broadway has staged a number of more politically—charged productions during the trump presidency. the success of to kill a mockingbird demonstrates audiences clearly want to see them.

the atmosphere on friday was in an extremely lively mood. a lot of rain for some of us, thunder and lightning, and even reports of one or two funnel clouds. these pictures came from somerset. this certainly looks like a funnel cloud. a funnel cloud is very similar to a tornado, itjust doesn't touch the ground. this is the radar picture from friday evening. showers and thunderstorms developed across the west country, south—east wales, drifted up into the midlands. still some hefty showers around through the first part of saturday morning. the thunder and lightning risk much lower at this stage. 0utbrea ks of persistent rain drifting into southern scotland, northern ireland, certainly affecting northern england and there's some very windy weather down towards the south. it all comes courtesy of this, an area of low pressure, only slowly drifting north through the day ahead. it will bring some unseasonably windy weather and some outbreaks of rain at times. the rain is likely to

be sitting across the south and east of scotland, into northern england, wales, the midlands, east anglia, nudging to the south—east. really, the spiral of rain sits in the same place throughout the day. elsewhere we see some spells of sunshine but also showers breaking out, and those winds will be brisk indeed, especially for southern and eastern parts of england, which could see gusts of a0 or 50 miles an hour, which could well have an impact on some outdoor events. those temperatures really disappointing. 1a in newcastle, maybe 17 in cardiff. the weather will start to come down during saturday night. that area of low pressure finally spins away to the north—east, taking much of the rain with it. clear spells, it's going to be a bit chilly in one or two places, and as the winds fall lighter, i would not be surprised to see the odd mist and fog patch here and there sunday morning. sunday's weather still dominated by dutch low pressure, but it's moving away. not as many lines on the chart, not as many isobars. a of sunshine and showers. the show is most plentiful across northern ireland and scotland. fringes of western england and northern wales. eastern england should not see too many showers, it was a largely dry with some sunshine, and those winds will be noticeably lighter

especially in southern areas.
