welcome to bbc news. i'm reged ahmad. our top stories: president trump says iran made a big mistake in shooting down a us drone but also appears to dial down tensions too. protest in the georgian capital after the visit from a russian mp. then there were two — boris johnson wil face jeremy hunt in the battle to be britain's new prime minister. and a study on money and morality. hello, and welcome.

us president donald trump has reacted angrily to the news that iranians forces have shot down a us drone over the strait of hormuz. he said iran had made a very bad mistake. iran insists the unmanned aircraft was flying over its territory and says it has now retrieved parts of the drone from its territorial waters. gary o'donoughue explains. the us and iran agree on one thing — that an american drone was shot down by iran. what they disagree on is where it happened. this pentagon footage claims to show it was over international waters, 21 miles of iran's coast. the iranians say it was in their airspace. the president's immediate response on twitter — iran made a very big mistake. but, during a meeting in the oval office with the canadian prime minister, justin trudeau, he was definitely toning it down. it was a mistake made by somebody

that shouldn't have been doing what they did. i think they made a mistake, and i'm notjust talking the country made a mistake. i think that somebody under the command of that country made a big mistake. pressed on what his response would be, though... you'll find out, you'll find out. this is just the latest in a series of recent incidents that have inflamed tensions around the strait of hormuz, which carries 20% of the world's oil production from the persian gulf to the open sea. last week, the us accused iran of being behind attacks on two oil tankers, accusations the iranians deny. on wednesday, in an increasing war of words and actions, the us invited journalists to examine the fragments of the mines they say were used to cripple the two tankers, and last month, four other tankers were attacked while moored off the united arab emirates. again, the us pointed the finger at iran. iran's leaders have insisted they are not seeking war, but would defend their borders.

on monday, they announced that they would soon pass the agreed limits for low—enriched uranium under the denuclearisation treaty that president trump withdrew from last year. it is a move that could drive an even deeper wedge between america and europe, which still supports the original deal, and whose companies are facing major sanctions for doing business with iran. gary o'donoughue, bbc news washington. chris, republicans have been commenting on what they see happen next. i get the impression really from many inside of congress, right across republicans and democrats — that they want to see something of a measured response. an increasing feeling that there should be retaliation of the sort but they do

not want something that is going to lead to a war and democrats, in particular, have been warning that as far as they are concerned, unless there is a strategy taken that avoid some kind of conflict, president trump could bumble into words, the words of leading democrats in the senate, chuck schumer. you could argue these countries have been a collision course for quite some time ever since president trump took the decision to leave the iran nuclear deal. we have had these attacks in the past couple of weeks on the tanks. there are concerns about protecting that important shipping route in the strait of hormuz. they need to send a message to iran but at the same time just ensuring this does not get out of hand which is the real concerns about democrats and republicans. president trump seems to be leaving some sort of

room to de—escalate the situation by referring to a possible error. how much can we read into his response? i think there is no doubt that president trump has been very careful with his words. yes, he did say that iran had made a big mistake yet at times he suggested that perhaps this was not an intentional act by iran but frankly, if you take act by iran but frankly, if you take a look at the statement that they have given to the un iran is making no bones that they did this and they did this for a reason that the drone was in iranians airspace and regarded it as an hostile act. what they do not want war, they say they are determined to vigorously defend their land, are determined to vigorously defend theirland, airand sea. are determined to vigorously defend their land, air and sea. now i think their land, air and sea. now i think the dangerfor their land, air and sea. now i think the danger for president trump will leave some inside the administration and perhaps others outside of it, for example saudi arabia, that

perhaps the us needs to take a harder line when it comes to iran. john bolton, for example, president trump's advisor, has been pushing him to take a much tougher line with tehran and i think people will be saying that again, particularly after this downing of the drone. chris butler, thank you so much. police in georgia has fired rubber bullets and gas to disperse demonstrators gathered outside parliament to protest against a visiting russian mp. crowds have tried to sturm the building after sergei gavrilov occupied the speakers at an address the government in russia. protesters have been injured in the violence. chaos in tblisi as police and protesters clash outside parliament.

gas fired by police. tensions flared after this man, the russian politician sergei gavrilov occupied the speaker said as he gave an address to mps from orthodox russian countries. i am here to protest russian involvement and the politics of my country stop i am here because i have been alive for 25 years and have not lived in a fully independent country yet. have not lived in a fully independent country yetlj have not lived in a fully independent country yet. i think this is the peaceful expression of the protesters to show that we will not tolerate russian expansion into georgia and rationalisation of georgia. it lost a brief war with russia in 2008. memories of russian ta nks russia in 2008. memories of russian tanks moving in and ousting georgian troops still fresh in the mind 11 yea rs troops still fresh in the mind 11 years on. as protesters clash outside, politicians clashed inside.

the prime minister acknowledging the right to protest by condemning the violence, blaming aggressive groups for the clashes. in tblisi tonight, as protesters fight with police, the presence of a russian politician in parliament is another symbol of what demonstrators see as the unacceptable presence of russians on georgian soil. the race to become the next british prime minister is now down to two men, after a day of drama at westminster. brexit campaigner, boris johnson, will go head—to—head with foreign ministerjeremy hunt, with mrjohnson the favourite to win next month. our political editor laura kuenssberg reports from westminster. thumping sounds who were they thumping the table for, the tory equivalent of applause? votes in the tiny traditional ballot box would reveal the pair, one of whom will be our next prime minister. michael gove — 75. jeremy hunt — 77.

ministers gasp. boris johnson — 160. we therefore declare that jeremy hunt and borisjohnson are going forward to a vote of the qualifying membership of the conservative and unionist party. they did it, just. the momentjeremy hunt found out he was through by a breath. just two votes put him ahead of michael gove, evidently delighted. hi. jeremy hunt will be the one to take on borisjohnson. well, i am the underdog in this race. i've been the underdog right from the start, and i like to prove people wrong. and the way that i'm going to win this race is by showing that the best way to brexit is by sending the european union a prime minister that they will engage with. man shouting: boris! stop! the next battle is away from here. mrjohnson is the frontrunner,

but both men will be put through their paces by tory members beyond these gates. thejohnson camp reckon mr hunt is an easier opponent though, than what might have been. with michael gove only two votes behind... thank you very much, thank you. ..no surprise there are whispers of foul play. look, i'm sorry, because i think michael was the best candidate. so what do we know about the two who are now rivals? they worked together for years, here at the london olympics. they both went to oxford. they've both even been the foreign secretary. but, crucially for tory members, jeremy hunt campaigned for remain, borisjohnson a brexiteer. even with all of his baggage, all of his colourful past, mrjohnson is on his way to the members well, well in front. laura kuenssberg, bbc news, westminster. the most pressing problem for whoever the new

british prime minister is wil be how to deal with brexit. eu leaders are in brussels for a two—day summit with theresa may attending for the last time as british prime minister. brexit is not really on the agenda there. it is about shaping the policies of the european union the next five years, and agreeing on who will fill the top eu jobs but no doubt brexit will be on some people's minds. ben haddad is a former adviser to president macron of france, and a fellow of the atlantic council on international affairs. he says that eu leaders will be concerned if the new british prime minister pursues a no—deal brexit. i think it is on the back of their mind. they are looking at this with some concern but at the same time i do not think it is going to change the position of eu leaders who have been clear about the fact that they won't compromise on the core principle of the single market, they won't compromise the eu commitment to not reinstating a hard border in ireland, and so this had already been made clear to prime minister theresa may

in the deal that she negotiated with the eu and i do not see a lot of leeway or opening on the eu side with a different uk prime minister. part of the decision—making that's happening at the moment is for people to occupy the top jobs and i thought it was interesting that the french president wants michel barnier to become commission president. michel barnier of course negotiated the withdrawal deal and was quite tough on what the eu wanted. is there a connection there at all in terms of what president macron might be thinking? i think macron for the moment has been open to different candidates and has not named one specific candidate as his favourite. it's going to be a very difficult negotiation, this is why they could not agree on names today and decided to postpone this decision tojune to 30th, because as you know,

first you have to fill the top fourjobs — eu commission president, council president, ecb chairman, and high representative so foreign minister of the european union and you need to make sure that all the political parties, the key political parties are represented, that you have a geographical representation — the east the west — and that you also ensure a gender balance on these eu positions. the european parliament's results were more positive than some of us feared, with the populists not as strong as we expected and turn out higher but on the more difficult and challenging side of things, you have these very fragmented european parliament where there epp and the socialists, traditional key parties, do not have a majority so it is going to be very difficult to agree to a name. the reason why michel barnier has emerged as one of the names we have

hear the most is because of his experience as brexit negotiator. this is someone who has been able to create consensus among eu leaders despite differences in both parties, geography. it is also because he is well—positioned to find a balance in this fragmented political environment. he is from the epp, a centre—right person, but he is also french. not from the same party as emmanuel macron but emmanuel macron could see him as acceptable. a plan b for a lot of leaders of the european union. still to come: fears of a measles epidemic in madagascar after an outbreak claim more than a thousand lives, most of them children. there was a bomb in the city centre. a code word known to be one used

by the ira was given. army bomb experts were examining a suspect van when there was a huge explosion. the south african parliament has destroyed the foundation of apartheid by abolishing the population registration act, which for a0 years forcibly classified each citizen according to race. germany's parliament, the bundestag, has voted by a narrow majority to move the seat of government from bonn to berlin. berliners celebrated into the night, but the decision was greeted with shock in bonn. just a day old, and the royal baby is tonight sleeping in his cot at home. early this evening, the new prince was taken by his mother and father to their apartments in kensington palace. the real focus of attention today was valentina tereshkova, the world's first woman cosmonaut. what do you think of the russian woman in space? i think it's a wonderful achievement and i think we might be able to persuade the wife it would be a good idea if i could to get her to go up there for a little while.

this is bbc news, the man had lined... president trump says a run made a great mistake shooting down a drone but knows it might not have been intentional. us senate has voted to block billions of dollars of arms sales to saudi arabia in a rare rebuke of president trump ‘s plans. the makers say they were concerned about saudi arabia ‘s human rights record, it comes as a court in london ruled that the uk had acted unlawfully. speaking to the bbc, the junior saudi had acted unlawfully. speaking to the bbc, thejunior saudi foreign minister defended his country ‘s record. i believe we are working in terms of reforms in saudi arabia. you come a long way in the past few yea rs you come a long way in the past few years in terms of empowering youth and women in terms of moving towards diversifying our economy, in terms of unleashing the potential of our people, and we have done great strides in this area and it will

continue to do so to regard to the written sales, it is a domestic american issue that has to do with domestic american politics. this year more than 100 executions have been carried out. would you do know you are getting messages saying that you are getting messages saying that you are getting messages saying that you are —— that your human rights image is so blackened that it makes it hard to try and strength the cooperation on other issues? we have the death penalty was not but i receiving those messages? we have the death penalty, ardent —— other countries don't was are you receiving those messages from washington? countries that don't have the death penalty is objective it in countries that do have the death penalty don't object was not united states has a death penalty and they don't object. —— and they object was not someone who is centres, someone who is convicted, ina court centres, someone who is convicted, in a court of the, the decision is upheld on appeal and reviewed by the supreme court, and it will be carried out. we cannot say were not

going to punish somebody because it doesn't look good. in another place around the world. we have our laws and we have to protect our citizens. so allies are expressing concern, would you admit that washington is worried, it is your cooperation on crucial issues, it wants to sell arms for you, at least present trump does but it's the mood in congress, it is heartening. it's a tough week, a bad week for saudi arabia in a uk court, to us senate, a given enquiry, time and again this week you are being told you have to improve your human rights record. another chief spokesperson. we are working on improving our country as a whole. we will continue to do so within the norms of our faith and within the norms of our faith and within the norms of our laws. within the norms of our faith and within the norms of our lawslj listening to the voices? we are listening to the voices? we are listening to the voices? we are listening to the voices of the saudi people, they want a better future and the saudi government is determined to provide them with a better future. and your closest allies are? engage with our friends

and allies in the number of issues and allies in the number of issues and we have very direct and very transparent conversations that go two ways. but we will not be lectured. we are a sovereign country, our primary interest is the protection and the improvement of the lives of our people, the saudi people. at least what people have died in madagascar, most of them are children. since measles are make it october, a recent vaccination campaign by aid agencies has contain the outbreak but it is far from over. there is a madagascar are keen to get the children vaccinated by the health services are overstretched. it is the only clinic for kilometres. some have walked more than two hours to get here. they were scared and wanted to get their babies vaccinated against measles. with only one doctor for 11,000 people, no journey or wait is too long.

this little boy is nine months old, his mother tells me she's trying to keep him healthy. bit over 1000 people have died and most of them children. a mass campaign has contained the disease for now, but it is notjust about the vaccines, there are still long—term problems. we have 50% of the children under five years suffering from chronic malnutrition. measles aggravates this malnutrition. in the context of malnutrition, we have frequent complications or infections that add to the measles. madagascar is one of the poorest countries in africa. poverty and malnutrition here have made diseases, like measles, which wouldbeen easier to treat elsewhere, deadly. it is a vicious cycle.

many communities are isolated and the infrastructure is poor. another challenge is delivering vaccines to help control the outbreak. sometimes they had to be carried by foot, and they became less effective. for some the campaign came too late. this couple say they were not aware of the measles vaccine. their ten—month—old son was one of five children who died in this village. translation: at first he got a fever and started coughing. we immediately thought he had measles so we took him to a doctor and he seemed to get better. but the next day, he was unwell again so we took him to another hospital and they put him on a drip. he died. we tried to save him. we were hoping he would recover. they believe it was his fate.

many other children have been saved but this was the worst outbreak madagascar has seen and it may not be the last in the land were so many people have so little. they say honesty is the best policy and there is a new global study as to whether that is the case. more than $17,000 have been dropped in more than four than —— many different countries and over 70% of the wallets with a large sum of money were returned. compared to 40% of those without any money. that's get more from an economist and lead author of the study was not a joins me live from michigan. 04 your travel stuff first of all, what does this study tell us about how honest people are across different countries? festival, thank you very

much for having me here, we conducted this large—scale experiment across the globe, 40 countries, more than 350 cities, and we found a large variation across countries. so, for example, the scandinavian countries and sizzle and at the top, who were caught —— report about 50 —— 80% of the wallets. we have china and morocco, peru these kind of countries who reported wallets with the probability of15— reported wallets with the probability of 15— 20%. reported wallets with the probability of 15- 20%. but if other people are more likely to return the wallet there's more money. yes, that was the most surprising finding. we wa nted was the most surprising finding. we wanted to test whether people act more dishonestly when they have a higherfinancial more dishonestly when they have a higher financial incentive to do so. and what we found is just the opposite. we found people were more likely to board the wallet when it contained more money so to increase the amount of money and the wallet

up the amount of money and the wallet up to almost $100, we found reporting rates increase even further. that was very puzzling from our perspective so we had to go back to the drawing board and try to better understand what is going on here. and what did you find out, what is going on? it seems to be that there are two components, on the one hand you have this economic of financial incentives to keep the wallet and the money, on the other hand you have the psychological motivation such as self—image. the latter is basically the human desire not to be seen as a dishonest person. just very briefly, is there a danger in generalising people across countries like this? generalising, of course. we cannot study every single person. so basically, we had to restrict our study to certain population. but

what we found is that a measure of our misbehaviour correlates well with other types of honest behaviour. such as tax evasion, corruption of public officials. so we're corruption of public officials. so we' re pretty corruption of public officials. so we're pretty confident that we are not just measuring we're pretty confident that we are notjust measuring honest behaviour ina notjust measuring honest behaviour in a particular situation but that we capture mob broader phenomenons. thank you so much for your time. a lead author on that study into honesty. to stay with us, much more coming up on bbc news but before we go that's take you back to the live scene in hong kong. a few hundred people it looks like have been continuing their protest outside the parliament of the legislative council there, there was a deadline given by some protest organisers to the chief executive saying they want that bill to extradite people to china completely withdrawn, it has been indefinitely suspended, they

wa nt to com pletely been indefinitely suspended, they want to completely withdrawn and it looks at people are continuing to protest there in hong kong. millions of people are gathered earlier in the week. stay with us. conditions are set to warm up across the whole country this weekend into next week, it could turn quite hot across some southern areas but with an increased chance of thundery downforce was up more and that in a moment. friday is looking like it'll be another one of sunny spells and a few showers around, a fairly nippy start ina few showers around, a fairly nippy start in a few places. most of the north that's because we have the show to the north of scotland. the isobars are close together is a quite breezy across scotland but high—pressure building across the southis high—pressure building across the south is a dry start for much of england and wales was up most of the showers across scotland, northern ireland, the far north of anger, a few heavier ones in the morning, but into the afternoon as you tend to ease and become confined to the

this is bbc news. the headline stated resident tom says he finds it ha rd to stated resident tom says he finds it hard to believe that iran would have deliberately shut down an american surveillance drone but he again insisted it was a very bad mistake. the us insisted its tone was over international waters when it was brought down to tehran claims it was only targeted after violating iranian airspace. there have been violent clashes in georgia after thousands of demonstrators tried to storm the parliament. they are angry that a group of visiting russian mps we re that a group of visiting russian mps were allowed to enter the chamber. police used tear gas and robert bullets to disperse the crowds. in the race for the next prime minister is down to two men. borisjohnson
