welcome to bbc news. i'm mike embley. our top stories: trump's mexico deal. officials say trade tariffs could still happen if the flow of migrants isn't stopped. the aftermath of a massacre in mali. the first images from a burnt out village where almost 100 people died in ethnic violence. the vatican says people cannot decide their own gender — drawing strong criticism from lgbt groups. sending plastic packing. canada says it will phase out single use items like straws and bags by 2021.

hello. the trump administration says it could still apply trade tariffs if itjudges that mexico hasn't done enough to limit migration to the us. secretary of state mike pompeo says he expects to see results within four to six weeks. a deal negotiated last week includes more troops being sent to mexico's southern border to stem the number of arrivals. if that doesn't work, the us wants further measures such as mexico being declared a safe country for migrants, but plans for that are unclear. here's mr trump speaking to reporters earlier. a lot of good things are happening, but i want to thank mexico, and we do have one other thing that will be announced at the appropriate time, but they have to get approval from their legislative body. what is it? why are the mexicans denying it, then? i don't think they'll be denying it very long. it's all done. the us secretary of state mike pompeo has called the deal "diplomacy at its finest‘ and a "significant win for the american people".

i've seen some reporting that says that these countless hours were nothing, that they amounted to a waste of time. i can tell you that the team here at the state department believes full—throatedly that this is an important set of agreements, important set of understandings, one that we'll continue to work on. because, in the end, we'll be measured by the outcomes that we deliver with respect to stemming the flow of illegal immigration into our country. 0ur north america correspondent david willis has more details on the agreement. president trump making the point that this is a strong agreement, and one that's necessary to quell the flow of migrants across the border, the us border with mexico, the point being made that last month saw 130,000 people crossing that border, which is the highest in 13 years. now, what has been agreed is that mexico will expand its policy of operating holding areas for asylum seekers in the united states, and it will also send, as you were mentioning there, about 6,000 national guard troops to the southern mexican border with guatemala. now, within the next 4—6 weeks, the efficacy of those measures will be assessed.

and then, well, there could be further measures to try to stem this problem, or if mexico is seen to be dragging its feet by the united states, then those rather punitive tariffs could come into operation. and, david, if the agreement doesn't work in the terms the trump administration is using, what then, do you think? well, it is possible, you mentioned there, mike, safe — making mexico a safe country for migrants. and that would mean that migrants applying for asylum in the united states will be made to wait out that process, if you like, in mexico, unlike the present situation, where they can come to the united states and wait out their fate. but the mexicans are making the point, mike, that this is something that they may not be able to control themselves, that it could require

the cooperation of countries such as panama, guatemala and brazil, which are seen as key transit areas for migrants from latin america into the united states. david willis for us there. the un peacekeeping mission in mali has sent air support to help prevent further attacks. nearly a hundred people were massacred overnight in sobane—kou, in the central mopti region, which is largely populated by the dogon ethnic group. local officials have blamed fulani herdsmen. these are the latest pictures we've received, showing burnt out buildings and what's left of the village which was set on fire. the two communities often clash over access to land and water, but the dogons also accuse the fulanis of having ties to extremist groups. fulanis accuse dogon hunters of forming militias to attack them. president ibrahim boubacar keita plans to return to the country on tuesday, from a conference in switzerland.

translation: at this moment, i wish to share a thought for those who once more have fallen under murderous, unjust and cowardly bullets in the dogon region. the vatican has released a new document attacking the modern understanding of gender as something more complex than a straightforward binary division of sexes. it claims the current debate about gender identity annihilates the concept of nature and destabilises the family, and that people claiming anything other than a binary gender are just being provocative. lgbt groups say it will encourage bigotry, hatred, and violence. francis debernardo is the executive director of new ways ministry which is an organisation that works with lgbt catholics and the church. he gave us his thoughts on this document. i think it's a very harmful document, because it is based on bad science, bad understandings of gender, understandings of gender

that come from the dark ages, that were developed under very repressive and oppressive cultures. so why do you think it has come out now, and where within the church do you think it has come from? i don't know where it's come from in the church, but i do think that the problem that the vatican faces now is that more and more catholics are welcoming lgbt people into their parishes, and the vatican, i think, is becoming very concerned about that. yes, the bbc‘s own gender and identity correspondent, i was just looking at her piece just now, says this documentjust seems light years away from the current dialogue on a whole lot of issues involving gender, light years away from the way society is moving. yes, i think that the one truth that emerges from this document

is that the vatican is ill—prepared to have a modern discussion about gender. in the document, they call for dialogue, but they are not prepared to dialogue. so where do you think this leaves the church? it's bound to push a lot of people away, isn't it? i think that it's going to hurt and alienate many lgbt catholics and other catholics who are their supporters. but i also think that, because it is not based in reason or on science or on people's experiences, that it's basically going to be ignored by catholics. it does read, doesn't it, as if it's been written by people who have never spoken to any lgbtqi people. that's right. the vatican has not set up a dialogue with lgbtqi people, and it's surprising, because pope francis has shown he is willing to dialogue and ready to dialogue. he's met with a transgender man and his wife, and he is very open

to these ideas. but i think that there are people in the curia who are afraid of what pope francis‘s openness might be doing to the church. a helicopter has crashed on top of a 54—storey building in new york — killing the pilot. it was privately—owned. authorities are investigating whether it had clearance to fly in the area. ramzan karmali reports. smoke fills the new york and just moments after a helicopter crashed into a skyscraper in manhattan. it took place close to times square. for those inside it was clear that something wasn't quite right. i was on the 20th floor and everyone

was just sitting and working and we felt the tremor. what did it feel like? like a very small aircraft. thankfully, no debris fell from the building despite the obvious impact the helicopter had on the building. firefighters were very on the scene quickly. donald trump was quick to reassure new yorkers. many are still traumatised by the events of 9/11. i want to say the most important thing first. there is no indication at this time that this was an act of terror. and there is no ongoing threat to new york city. based on all the information we have right now. the pilot of the twin—engine helicopter died and was the only person on board. weather conditions were poor, with heavy rain and fog. officials say that why the aircraft was flying in such poor weather will be part of the investigation.

now to a case that's sparked protests across india and headlines worldwide — the rape, torture, and murder of an eight—year—old muslim girl in a hindu temple. six men have been found guilty — they include police officers and a government official. there was horror, obviously, at the attack, but also at the fact that hindu right—wing groups protested over the arrest of the men. in the kashmir valley, our correspondent divya arya spoke to the girls‘ parents. under indian law, we are not identifying them. hundreds of kilometres away from the court, on this hilltop in the kashmir valley, a mother's wait hasjust ended. her eyes grew moist and the wrinkles on herforehead eased as she heard about the verdict on those accused of the rape and murder of her daughter. translation: i always believed i would getjustice. my faith gave me strength. even if it meant that i would need

to sell my livestock, or go hungry, i wouldn't hesitate. my daughter deserves justice, at all costs. last year, when her daughter took their horses for grazing, she did not return. a week later, her dead body was found. her mother says she still searches for her face amongst other children who do similar work. this muslim nomadic community earns their living by selling livestock, and walks for days on end hunting for pastures for their fodder. for this nomadic community that spends the cooler months of the year in the hindu—dominated jammu, and the hotter months of the year in the muslim—dominated kashmir valley, the verdict in the case does not bring full closure. dealing with the distrust between the two communities now remains a big challenge. the accused in the rape of the girl were all hindus, and they tortured her by kidnapping and confining her to a temple. all of this led to communal tensions in the area last year. according to the victim's sister,

that has still not changed. translation: we are very scared of hindu man. if they can attack a small girl, we could be next. now, i only venture out when accompanied by family. i have lost all my hindu girlfriends, also. i miss them a lot. the family is ready to move again. they are hopeful that the strong verdict will have a deep impact on both communities, and slowly, the atmosphere of fear will change too. that is a story, obviously, we will be back to. the us envoy for africa will leave for sudan on wednesday to urge the ruling military council and pro—democracy opposition groups to resume talks. the us assistant secretary for africa, tibor nagy, will call for an end to attacks against civilians.

on tuesday, the regime took journalists to see hospitals, which they claimed were ransacked by protestors. but as our africa editor fergal keane reports, the propaganda tour didn't go as planned. it must have seemed like a good idea to somebody — showjournalists the government's side of the story. but, as we approached our destination, the ominous reality loomed into view. the rapid support force, a militia that is terrorising civilians. they are known here as the janjaweed, because of their past atrocities in da rfur. they were camped outside the clinic we were taken to. we were shown ransacked offices — the work of protesters, our minders claimed. the militia had followed us, and were camera—shy. tony, roll on me, roll on me. officials pleaded with them so that we could film. this is supposed to be a propaganda trip, the government showing us the iniquities of the other side. but what it is actually turning into is a farce,

because as we're going on the tour, the rapid support forces are interfering. gives you an indication of the real story here. that, we would discover, was very different from the official version. translation: this is a hospital where damage was caused by the revolutionaries. they completely destroyed the equipment, medicine and furniture. do you really believe that? it was definitely attacked and destroyed. we can't confirm who did it, we can only confirm that it was attacked. but a witness who didn't want to be identified told us it was the militia who attacked. we crossed to omdurman, this time, a hospital visit designed to show life returning to normal. we crossed to omdurman, this time, a hospital visit designed to show

life returning to normal. for the last two days, this hospital was closed because of insecurity in the area. now, sick people crowded in, waiting for help, but too little available. without intending to, like so much of this propaganda journey, the government has given us an insight into the anger which fuels the protest movement — in this case, the chronic state of the health services. the family of 45—year—old ali omar hilal were mourning. he died in what they said was a diabetic coma. his younger brother lay nearby in shock. the family had struggled to find medical help, amid the chaos of recent days, in a country being pushed beyond consolation. stay with us on bbc news, still to come: the video game world is descending on los angeles

for the start of the annual e3 convention. the day the british liberated the falklands. and by tonight, british troops had begun the task 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 down the hill. what's it feel like to be the first man to go across the channel

by your own power? it's feels pretty neat. feel marvellous, really. this is bbc world news, the main story this hour: the us says it could still impose trade tariffs on mexican goods if the flow of migrants isn't stopped. more now on that story. international trade consultant marco lopez explained what he thought was going on. one of the interesting things that the mexico trade negotiators have told me over this last two day experience is that the agreements that were reached with the trump administration on friday were the same agreements that had been discussed and had been agreed to back in march with the former secretary of homeland security before she was asked to step down by president trump.

a lot of this is a rehash in an attempt at what many people believe is to distract from a lot of the troubles that the president is entering into with this escalated impeachment discussion. so, yes, indeed, there is an immigrant crisis at the border, related to families of central american migrants making their way up there. but it is not new and it is certainly not an emergency that was created over the last six days. so you would agree with mr trump's critics who would suggest that this is in a sense a manufactured crisis to allow mr trump to present a triumph? i think this has been a big distraction, and the mexican negotiators came to the table quickly to try to find a reasonable solution.

the economy is already slow and soft, and as a matter of fact they have been, the credit ratings have downgraded them twice over the last six months, so an additional impact that tariffs would have imposed on imports from mexico would have been devastating, meaning a gdp growth of less than 1%, so that would have really hurt, so they acted quickly to try to stem any additionalfallout. and yet there is a real problem, isn't there? the flow of people coming from central america through mexico to the southern border have real problems themselves. they have great need, but they are a problem for mexico and for the united states. yes, and it is interesting because the foreign minister from mexico was in washington two weeks ago trying to present to the trump administration a plan that was agreed to by the northern triangle countries, guatemala, el salvador, and honduras, together with mexico,

that would have meant additional investment in those countries to try to stem the move of migrants leaving. that is really the basis of this, investing in those countries so economic opportunities will keep people there instead of having them move to the mexican border. unfortunately, mike pompeo didn't meet with the representative, he ended up having a last—minute meeting at the white house, and now we understand that it is again on the table that the us might consider not cutting funding for those countries as the president had proposed two and half weeks ago. it is a lot of mixed messages. a lot of sources at customs and border control are telling me, a lot of those that i worked out with the past, they are saying that luckily they are going into the summer months, a very warm climate, so naturally those numbers are going to come down. i think it gives mexico a 45—day

reprieve before the next onslaught of bullying from president trump. that was marco lopez, a former bureaucrat on the us mexico trade border. canada's announced a ban on the single—use plastics that are most harmful to the environment and the world's oceans. prime ministerjustin trudeau says the ban on items such as straws, cutlery, bags, and cotton buds will come into effect in two years' time. tim allman reports. floating almost serenely beneath the waves, this isn't a jellyfish — this is a plastic bag. and here, fish swimming through discarded netting, more sea life endangered by man—made pollution. each year, millions of tons of plastic are dumped

into the world's oceans, but one by one, countries say they will do something about it. plastic pollution is a global challenge. you have all heard the stories and seen the photos, and to be honest, as a dad, it is tough trying to explain this to my kids. canada alone thows away around 3 million tons of plastic waste each year. bags, straws, cutlery — things that do make life a little more convenient. but it seems people are willing to make sacrifices. if you see any pictures on the news or online of oceans of plastic and animals that are getting killed by eating it, whales, turtles et cetera, i think it is stupid to have a straw for five minutes for a latte or whatever and then it goes in the ocean. i mean, come on, give me a break. canada and the european union have

already made commitments to dramatically reduce plastic waste in the coming years, but there is still a long way to go to clean the earth's oceans. the video game world is descending on los angeles for the start of the annual e3 convention. it is the biggest event in the games calendar. a chance for companies to show people their latest product. earlier i asked tech journalist cody godwin if the future was in games streaming. yes, that's correct. we have had a lot of cloud gaming being announced recently, including here at e3. yesterday, xbox showed us their new cloud gaming system, called the xcloud. we saw google announced stadia, which will be launching later this year. apple announced plans that they will be doing a game streaming service, so it is very popular, and we will be expecting to see a lot more about it, notjust at e3 but

through the rest of the year. so this is a bit of a netflix moment for games, is it? a bit! today, there was a company, ubisoft, who announced their streaming platform, calling it more of like a netflix for games, where you pay a subscription price and get a certain amount of access to games on their platforms. it is very similar to netflix. is there a reason that sony are not at the event this year? can we read anything into that? we are not quite sure. it might be simply because they don't have anything to show off. we did see one report that said they are looking into other ways that they can interact with their fan base. there may be a sony specific conference coming up, but we don't really know why they decided to skip e3. what are you most excited about there? what am i most excited about?

i think animal crossing, a game i personally play on my nintendo system. pokemon, grew up with that. i'm not sure there will be anything about it, but any kind of harry potter game, i would be very excited about. cody godwin, thank you for talking to us. just before we go let's show you these pictures from italy. these locusts are not a video game, they are currently wreaking hell on the island of sardinia, described as the worst invasion in more than 60 yea rs. worst invasion in more than 60 years. large swarms are destroying crops and invading homes. it has been linked to a recent temperatures after months of cooler weather on the island. and you can get in touch with me and most of the team on twitter — i'm @bbcmikeembley.

tuesday is going to bring further heavy rain and there could be a lot of it, particularly across northern parts of england, the midlands, and wales. on monday, the heaviest of the rainfall was actually across eastern parts of the country in the south—east. if we look at europe, the big picture, we can see over the last two or three days, most of the clouds seem to be stuck across... from northern spain, france, germany, the uk. we have seen big thunderstorms on the near continent, heavy rain here, of course. eastern parts of europe a different story, a few summertime showers and thunderstorms but on the whole a lot of sunshine and very hot, and the reason for this is that this vortex has formed across western europe. and thunderstorms but on the whole a lot of sunshine and very hot, and the reason for this is that this vortex has formed across western europe.

it has been dragging cold air all the way from the north across the uk, france and into spain, whereas this side of europe, warm air has been coming from the south, affecting central and eastern areas, so warsaw, for example, has been in excess of 30 degrees, when it was only 12 degrees in london. on tuesday, the early hours, rain across most of northern england, the midlands, wales, the south—west, just about starting to dry out in the extreme south—east, but no real rainfall across scotland and northern ireland except for a few showers. in fact, first thing in the morning there will probably be some sunshine in belfast, glasgow and edinburgh. the weather front is stuck. in fact, the whole weather pattern across europe is stuck, it is not moving or moving very slowly. through tuesday, this band of weather, band of heavy rain, will very slowly drift, at a glacial pace it will move its way towards the north. it will continue to rain across yorkshire all through the day, the north—west of england, wales, the south—west,

it sort of curls back into the centre of the low. the south—east will see sunshine and heavy showers. in the north of the country there will be some sunshine around. at times it will be cloudy, but dry at least. on wednesday, the weather system is still with us, a sense of things spiralling very slowly around, and again, more heavy showers being pushed into the uk, so again, it continues to remain very wet across many parts of the country into wednesday. wednesday and thursday, the low pressure is still with us, so this pattern is not in a hurry to change. it will be on the cool side, in fact, as far as the rest of the week is concerned very little change really, at times will be quite windy as well.

this is bbc news. the headlines: the trump administration is saying it may still apply trade tariffs if, within six weeks, itjudges that mexico hasn't done enough to limit migration to the us. a deal agreed on friday includes mexico sending more troops to its southern border to stem arrivals from central america, heading for the us border. the vatican has released a new document attacking the modern understanding of gender as something more complex than a straightforward binary division of sexes. it claims the current debate about gender identity annihilates the concept of nature and destabilises the family, and that people claiming anything other than a binary gender are just being provocative. lgbt groups say it will encourage bigotry, hatred, and violence. canada's announced a ban on the single—use plastics that are most harmful to the environment and the world's oceans. prime ministerjustin trudeau says the ban on items such as straws, cutlery, bags, and cotton buds will come into effect in two years' time.
