president trump says he's reached a deal with mexico and will not impose tariffs over migrants and border security. mexico says it agreed to take strong measures to stop the movement of migrants from central america to the southern border with the us. nasa says it will open up the international space station for tourism and other business ventures. as many as twelve private astronauts could visit each year. the companies spacex and boeing will ferry the tourists into orbit, with a round trip costing about $58 million. the ethiopian prime minister has called for a quick transition to democracy in sudan, after holding talks with both the country's military rulers and protest leaders. the demonstrators say they would accept mr ahmed as a mediator under certain conditions. negotiations between the two sides have stalled.

the high court has thrown out a private prosecution against borisjohnson, over allegations he lied during the eu referendum campaign. the case centred on the claim that the uk gave the european union £350 million a week. but the judges overturned an earlier decision to issue a summons to mrjohnson, as helena wilkinson reports. are you going to be the next prime minister? the leadership contest is well under way, but today, borisjohnson had a different battle. in court, his lawyers were trying to stop him from facing a criminal trial. this is the man who accused boris johnson of misconduct in public office. last week a court decided there was a case for mrjohnson to answer and he was due to be summoned. but today, that decision was overturned. we've just given the green light for every politician to lie to us about our money for ever. that's a terrifying idea which i cannot accept, and i'm not going to give up. this was one of the main messages of the vote leave campaign.

borisjohnson had claimed £350 million was being sent from the uk to the eu every week. it was a contested claim, with many people saying it was a lie. but did it amount to a criminal offence? in court, borisjohnson‘s barrister argued that the offence of misconduct in public office, which is what mrjohnson was facing, had never been used in the context of a statement in a political campaign. adrian darbishire qc said the offence was about the secret abuse of power and that there was nothing secret about what mrjohnson was claiming. £350 million a week. let's spend it on our priorities. his supporters say the case should never have got to court. to try and fight political debate through the criminal courts is what happens in dictatorships. it's not what happens in democracies. for mrjohnson, an unwelcome distraction now gone away, allowing him to focus on his next campaign — to become the new prime minister.

now on bbc news, our world. for centuries, a significant sikh minority has grown in relative safety in afg ha nista n. but in the last decade, persecution has seen the population drop. music. sikhs have lived in afghanistan for centuries. but they are an embattled minority living in ghettos and trapped in poverty. in a muslim country that is unstable and insecure, sikhs are targeted and discriminated against for their religion. and the violence is getting worse.

i have returned to my homeland afghanistan to meet one of the nation's oldest communities. 0nce 250,000 strong, now reduced to just 100 families. this is a community facing a dilemma over its very existence. this is a district in the capital, kabul. it is home to one of afg hanistan‘s last remaining kabul. it is home to one of afghanistan's last remaining sikh communities. today is the biggest

day in the sikh calendar. a festival which celebrates the birth of the religion and commemorates the fight against persecution. iam i am with arinder singh, a teacher who has prepared the kids for the big day. the sikh community has never taken

sides in the four decades of war and violence that have plagued afghanistan. but in the ongoing trouble here, this ethnic and religious minority has been feeling evermore vulnerable. music and singing. we have arrived at the main temple in couple —— in couple. sikhs have converged here from across the city and beyond. five children have the honour of representing the warriors who led the sikhs fight against

persecution in india centuries ago. music and singing. sikhs have lived here for centuries and have gathered and celebrated vaisakhi every year. through the soviet invasion, civil war and others. but this year the biggest day is overshadowed by a deep sense of loss.

in the 1990s, the sikh community in afghanistan numbered around 250,000. much of the country's trade and commerce was run by sikhs. in the community flourished. thousands would gather in the streets for religious events and whole districts we re religious events and whole districts were populated by sikhs. but today's community is estimated to be as few as 100 families. bodies are empty and it is a risk to step outside —— properties are empty. narender singh is the sikh community's only member of the afghan parliament. he is armed —— under armed guard around the clock.

inside the temple compound is a shrine to those sikhs who were killed in a devastating suicide attack last year. it was a tragedy that brought the entire community —— rocks the entire community. suicide bombers have targeted an entire delegation of sikhs in the city of jalala bad as entire delegation of sikhs in the city of jalalabad as they prepared to meet the afghan president. the so—called islamic state claimed responsibility. narender singh was

among the lucky ones who reached hospital. 19 people were killed, the entire community leadership effect heavily wiped out. among the dead was awtar singh. he was the sikhs representative through decades of war. he was arinder singh‘s father. but despite what happened to his father, arinder singh is in no doubt

about his future. but not all of the community share narinder‘s outlook. most sikhs who have remained live in compounds. families of ten chairing two rooms. for many, staying means living in fear and poverty. but leaving may speu fear and poverty. but leaving may spell the end of their centuries—old community in afghanistan.

this man is desperate to leave but his family has been plunged into crisis that can only be resolved if he stays. he runs a store in a busy neighbourhood that used to be considered a safe part of kabul. it isa considered a safe part of kabul. it is a short drive from his brother's business. two months ago his brother was closing his shop at the end of the workday, but he never made it home. all that was found was his parked car, empty. so the shop is now closed and behind these little stalls, we can see the sign, it is

named"" rajinder, the lover of the cou ntry". named"" rajinder, the lover of the country". he did not want us to get out of the car, worried we would draw unwanted attention. the family have reported the disappearance to the police, but there has been little progress in there has been little progress in the investigation. back at the compound, his grieving mother weights.

nobody knows if he was abducted for his religion or his money. he wasn't a rich man but had a life ahead of him. afg ha ns afghans who have fought for human rights here see the intolerance aimed at sikhs as part of a wider, deeply worrying development.

but tomorrow's generation of sikhs have lives to go on with. and today is another school day. the sikh community has on state school in all afghanistan. as non—muslims, the parents don't want their children attending the schools where islam is the only religion that's taught. this is the school's deputy head. 0ver

that's taught. this is the school's deputy head. over the past two yea rs, deputy head. over the past two years, he has seen the number of stu d e nts years, he has seen the number of students drop by half to just 30. the result of the worsening security situation. despite a dwindling numbers, afg hanistan‘s education ministry still provides teachers. this school

is tiny, but the government has promised that even if there's just one sikh or hindu student left they will still have the school and teachers. the school principal, who is muslim, used to teach afghan war refugees in iran. now he teaches afghan sikhs in their own country.

but ina but in a country that is efficiently islamic, many sikhs say they are treated like second—class citizens. i have come to the powerful ministry of religious affairs. part of its remit is to help ensure that all of the country's minorities can practice their religion in safety. but officials here don't blame the problems sikhs face on religious intolerance.

sikhs are not the only community to leave afg ha nista n after sikhs are not the only community to leave afghanistan after hundreds of yea rs of leave afghanistan after hundreds of years of shared experience. i have come to harass, in the far west of the country. there was once prosperous sikh and hindu communities here. but they are now almost entirely abandoned. this city was also the centre of a large community in afghanistan that had flourished here for 1500 years. the last dues left here during the

u nrest last dues left here during the unrest in the 1980s in search of a better life in israel. this synagogue has been preserved as a monument to the generations to worship tear. this man remembers the community from when he was a young man, 60 years ago.

backin back in kabul for back in kabulfor now back in kabul for now there's a reason to celebrate. a family is coming in from jalalabad for a wedding party. iam coming in from jalalabad for a wedding party. i am very lucky and excited to be in such a party, seeing afghan boys and girls, men and women dancing under the same roof. the teacher, narinder seeing is conducting the ceremony. for today's guests, the wedding is about the joining together of two families. it isa sign joining together of two families. it is a sign of hope for the future of

this community here in afghanistan. but he is not so upbeat.

days later, there is bad news. the body of his missing brother has been found. he has been tortured. two people have been detained by police. but that is little consolation. the sikh community owns for peace and stability. but in the face of tragedy it becomes harder to stay and easier to decide to leave afghanistan forever.

hello there. 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. it will feel a bit warmer, 15 in belfast, 19 in london. but the week ahead looks very unsettled. outbreaks of rain at times. it will often be quite windy, and for a while at least it will feel very cool indeed.
