5:03 am
across the west country, some republicans inside congress, south—east wales, drifted members of donald trump up into the midlands. still some hefty showers is my own party had been concerned around through the first about the potential impact on the us part of saturday morning. the thunder and lightning risk much economy as well as mexico's, lower at this stage. because ultimately tariffs are paid 0utbrea ks of persistent for by american rain drifting into companies and consumers southern scotland, northern ireland, certainly affecting northern england when they are put on imports. 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 mexico of course had and some outbreaks of rain at times. been very concerned. we have been hearing these positive words over the last 2a hours, the rain is likely to be sitting across the south particularly from mexico's president and east of scotland, in which he was saying into northern england, time and time again that they wanted wales, the midlands, east anglia, nudging to come to a conclusion, to the south—east. really, the spiral of rain they wanted to keep a friendly sits in the same place relationship with america, throughout the day. and certainly all the talk around elsewhere we see some spells these negotiations has been of sunshine but also to try and bring the united states showers breaking out, and those winds will be brisk on board and to show that mexico has indeed, especially for southern and eastern parts of been trying to address england, which could see gusts of a0 these problems. at the same time there is also or 50 miles an hour, which could well have an impact something in here that is as far as president trump is concerned on some outdoor events. they will continue talking for the next 90 days, and that they will address things again if they don't feel the action has had enough those temperatures really disappointing. movement to address the real 1a in newcastle, problems at the borders maybe 17 in cardiff. between these countries. the weather will start to come down during saturday night.
5:04 am
that area of low pressure finally spins away to the north—east, at the same time, this is certainly taking much of the rain with it. a breakthrough and i think mexico clear spells, it's going to be a bit are going to be very pleased, despite those ominous words chilly in one or two places, inside that statement from president and as the winds fall lighter, i would not be surprised to see the odd mist and fog patch trump in which he said the tariffs here and there sunday morning. sunday's weather still dominated by dutch low pressure, but it's moving away. had been "indefinitely suspended", that means there is still the threat not as many lines on the chart, of them in the future if he is not not as many isobars. a day of sunshine and showers. happy with the outcome. the showers most plentiful across northern ireland and scotland. let's get some of fringes of western england and northern wales. eastern england should not the day's other news: see too many showers, it was a largely dry with some sunshine, and those winds more than four million venezuelans have now left will be noticeably lighter especially in southern areas. the country as the political it will feel a bit warmer, and economic crisis continues. the un says the pace of people 15 in belfast, 19 in london. fleeing has "skyrocketed" but the week ahead since the end of 2015. looks very unsettled. venezuela's imploding economy has outbreaks of rain at times. meant shortages of basic supplies, it will often be quite windy, such as food and medicines and for a while at least it 00:04:41,674 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 will feel very cool indeed. 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
5:05 am
who already own a huawei phone can continue to use the apps. two senior executives are stepping down from uber. the company's chief operating officer and chief marketing officer leave just under a month after the firm listed on the new york stock exchange. uber‘s chief executive dara khosrowshahi said he wanted more direct control over the compa ny‘s day—to—day operations. 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. we have 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?
5:06 am
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
5:07 am
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
5:08 am
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. the organisation for security and cooperation in europe has expressed concern over the arrest in russia, of a journalist who specialises in investigating corruption. the russian authorities say they detained ivan golunov afterfinding drugs in a backpack he was carrying, and also at his apartment. gareth barlow reports. ivan golunov has repeatedly exposed corruption among moscow's political and professional elite. on thursday he was arrested. russian police accused the investigative journalist of being involved in large—scale drug dealing
5:09 am
but his employers, the lavian website, medusa, say but his employers, the latvian website, medusa, say the charges are false. translation: the police are trying to frame him on drugs charges. so if he manages to avoid criminal punishment, this will stay with him forever. it is not only an attempt to do him personal harm, not only an attempt to make his life physically unpleasant, but to ruin his reputation. in recent years, many opposition figures and activists have been detained on apparently fabricated drugs charges, widely seen as attempts to silence political dissent. fellow journalists protesting against the detention were also arrested before being released. satirist, viktor shenderovich, said the arrests proved the investigations were having an impact. translation: the detention is their full confession. they are saying through this, yes, because of ivan‘s articles, we have lost billions. yes, we are angry.
5:10 am
that is what this outrageous detention means. now the authorities seem to be walking back on their case against ivan golunov. pictures allegedly showing his drug paraphernalia have been withdrawn, the police admitting most of the images were not taken at mr golunov‘s home. while the case is far from closed, in russia, for the authorities and for the people who investigate them, there is surely a sense of business as usual. gareth barlow, bbc news. 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 is urging consumers to avoid buying fresh or frozen yellowfin tuna. today is world 0ceans day, one of the focusses is sustainable fishing, but the main theme for 2019 is fighting plastic pollution. rocha is from the california academy of sciences. he started by explaining why there's
5:11 am
no ban on fishing yellow fin tuna. it is very hard. first of all, the 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. fish biologists might say, yes, the stock has declined a lot but it is stable and it is not going to decline any more. whereas 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 is a lot of work to do yet in that area. absolutely. but it is world 0ceans day, so we're looking at lots 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. i think today the biggest threat to the world's oceans is climate, climate change.
5:12 am
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‘s 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. i just came back from french polynesia.
5:13 am
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 locals' fault. it was not what they were doing. it was not because of the temperature in the ocean was changing. and to reverse that we need global action, global policy change. stay with us on bbc world news, still to come: the women's world cup kicks off with a win for the french hosts — we'll have the latest from paris. the day the british liberated the falklands. and by tonight, british troops had begun the task
5:14 am
of disarming the enemy. in the heart of the german capital, this was gorby—mania at its height. the crowd packed to see the man who for them, has raised great hopes for an end to the division of europe. michaeljackson was not guilty on all charges. the screams of the crowd, a testament to his popularity and their faith in his innocence. as long as they'll pay to go and see me, i'll get out there and kick 'em downhill. what was it like to be the first man to cross the channel by your own car? it's pretty neat. it feel marvellous, really. this is bbc news, the latest headlines: president trump says he's reached a deal with mexico and will not impose a tariff over migrants and border security. ethiopia's prime minister has called for unity and an end to violence in sudan after talks
5:15 am
with protestors and the military. let's stay with that story now. i've been speaking to phil levy, senior fellow at the chicago council on global affairs and a former trade adviser to george w bush. he gave his reaction to the agreement. 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 mostly seen tweets coming from each side. it is pretty clear that this did not solve the problem that the president initially identified, he started with illegal immigration and moved on to drugs but it looks like he backed down. this seems to be some substance. the deployment of the national guard to the southern border and a us programme to send asylum seekers are back to mexico. something has been extracted here.
5:16 am
that's right and it is hard to know how significant and how much, for example, the mexican national guards movement was already in the works. but there are some moves. mexico was trying to address this problem anyways. the president faced a lot of opposition, both from members of his party in the senate, from business community, it looked like the plan may not have been feasible. it is nice that mexico helped out. is this deal 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 win and it depends what your standard is.
5:17 am
if that is all one requires then they will be satisfied with this. i doubt we will get much substantive 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 done once and for all, he said he was indefinitely suspending the tariffs. the deal you are referring to is the replacement to nafta. ebrard. what about the relationship between the two countries? the us had threatened mexico with nafta killing. 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,
5:18 am
that has to be at least unsettling. 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. an academy award winner for the film the favourite, 0livia colman says she is totally thrilled to have been made a commander of the order of the british empire, for services to drama. now is the winter of our discontent... also being recognised is simon russell beale, who said it was a very great honour to receive a knighthood. in the world of music, alfie bowe becomes an 0be for services to music and charity. while the grammy and brit nominated performer mia becomes an mbe. in the world of sport, golfing champion georgia hall has
5:19 am
been made an mbe, as have the scottish women's team head coach shelley kerr and the wales women's team managerjane ludlow. but of course the majority of the honours have gone to people who are not in the public eye, for work in their communities across the country. people like nimco ali, who has been made an 0be for her work campaigning against female genital mutilation. i spoke up because i was hurt that 20 years after i was subjected to fgm, girls in the uk were still at risk, and now we have a decade between now and 2030 to make sure that we save the most vulnerable girls on the planet.
5:20 am
15 foster carers have been given mbes, including gordon and brenda potter. they have looked after hundreds of children. something we have enjoyed doing for so long has actually won us this award. i would hate never to have done it, i am very proud of the award, but i am glad i have done it. and liverpool street cleaner tommy mcardle has been given a british empire medal for services to the community. his reaction? wow! laughs. i didn't believe it at first, i thought the people in there were winding me up. it doesn't happen to the likes of me doing this and that. he is just one of the hundreds being recognised for the work they do, that benefits so many others.
5:21 am
the women's football world cup has kicked off in france, with the hosts beating south korea 4—0 in the opening match. the french team, les bleus, are tournament favourites and have won 14 of their last 15 games. 2a teams are taking part in the month—long tournament. french supporters were out in force on the streets of paris ahead of the kick—off. this women's world cup being held here in france is being billed as the biggest and best one yet. it's the eighth edition of this tournament, the first was held in china back in 1991, and we've really seen a phenomenal amount of change in the women's game since then. that's been a real talking point in the lead—up to this tournament. back in 1991 when the usa won that edition, that women's team arrived back as champions in the united states, and arrived back to three people in the airport to greet them. when you look at france and the pressure and the coverage the hosts have had coming into this tournament, it's worlds away. but there is still plenty more to do in the women's game in terms of true
5:22 am
equality between the man's game and the women's game. the differences in prize money has been a big talking point in the lead—up to france 2019. just consider that the women's total prize fund for this event is $30 million us, and the prize fund for the next men's world cup is $400 million. the winning team here would get $4 million, the men's team will get $38 million. the discrepancy is still really large between them. we have had here in france the first—ever women's football convention, which fifa hosted, where they have been outlining strategies to get more women into the game, get more women into the boardrooms, and get more results on the pitch. also, increasing the commercialisation of the women's game. i think if they can really capture the imagination of the global audience with this world cup in france, that will certainly 00:22:52,874 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 help to spur those developments.
