this is bbc news, i'm reged ahmad. our top stories: president trump announces ‘major‘ new sanctions on iran — in a bid to stop it obtaining nuclear weapons. the fact is we are not going to have iran have a nuclear weapon and when they agreed to that they are going to have a wealthy country, they are going to be so happy and i'm going to be their best friend. the frontrunner to be britain's next prime minister — borisjohnson — refuses to answer questions about police being called to the home he shares with his partner.

and — the big business of cyber—blackmail. how hackers are making millions from ransomware attacks. thus president trump says he plans to impose even more sanctions on iran, as tensions escalate between the two countries. just days ago, mr trump called off an airstrike on iran at the last minute — in response to the shooting down of an american drone. last week the us blamed iran for attacking two oil tankers in the gulf of oman — which tehran has strenuously denied. from washington, chris buckler reports. for the moment, donald trump is choosing sanctions as his weapon, not force. but the us military remains primed and ready in the gulf, and while the president abandoned strikes on iranian targets on thursday, the countries still appear to be on a collision course, unless something changes. if the leadership of iran behaves

badly, then it's going to be a very, very bad day for them. but hopefully, they are smart and hopefully they really care for their people, not themselves. and hopefully, we can get iran back onto an economic track that's fantastic. washington is putting further sanctions in place in an attempt to prevent iran developing nuclear weapons. tehran has already warned it is about to breach limits on the amount of enriched uranium it can stockpile, putting the future of the iran nuclear deal in doubt. by threatening the accord, they are trying to get america's allies to put pressure on president trump to relax the sanctions that are causing real pain for people in iran. translation: the economic situation is changing every day. sanctions and welfare are getting worse. this is because the two governments, iran and the us, are escalating tensions. after attacks on tankers and the downing of an american

drone, the strait of hormuz is not only one of the world's most important trading routes, it is the centre of international tensions. chris buckler, bbc news, washington. let's get some of the day's other news. three suspected al—sha bab militants have been killed after they attacked a police camp in kenya — close to the border with somalia. the al-qaeda—linked group has vowed retribution for the country's involvement with amisom — a 20,000—strong african union force helping to support the government in somalia. kim jong—un says he's received a personal letter from president trump. state media in north korea reported that mr kim saluted the "extraordinary" courage of the american president — although it was not disclosed when or how the letter was delivered. earlier this month, the us president said a beautiful letter had been sent to him by north korea's leader. polling stations have officially closed in mauritania, a country marking its first democratic transfer of power since independence

from france in 1960. president mohamed willid abdel aziz seized power in a coup in 2008, but he's agreed to step down and abide by a two—term limit of office. six candidates are running to replace him. anti—russian protesters in georgia have held a third day of demonstrations. thousands of people gathered in front of the parliament building in tbilisi, calling russia an occupier state. in response to the protests, russia has announced a ban on flights to and from georgia, citing security concerns. voters in tu rkey‘s biggest city, istanbul, will be electing a mayor later on sunday — in a contest widely seen as a referendum on president erdogan. the poll is a re—run of the one held in march, which was narrowly won by the opposition, but annulled after government claims of irregularities. mr erdogan has pushed for the new vote. hundreds of climate change

protesters have stormed an open cast coal mine in western germany, during a weekend of campaigning against fossilfuels. they ran through a police cordon after gathering at the gartz—vieler mine early on saturday. local residents worried about plans to expand the site werejoined by teenage activists. gareth barlow has more. activists pour in where coal pours out. while hundreds of protesters stormed the mine that produces 35 million tonnes of coal a year and many more camped out on railway tracks that i first occupied on friday to block coal from leaving the plant. translation: we want to block every coal infrastructure because we want germany to face out of the brown coal conversion which is the most harmful energy source in the world. this is overdue and necessary.

protesters clashed with police who wa nt protesters clashed with police who want activists they could face legal action. the mine owners defended the operation. translation: these are violations of the norm. that is unacceptable. these demonstrations are unnecessary because rwe does not block the phasing out of coal, something we have been accused of, since 2012 we have been accused of, since 2012 we have reduced c02 emissions by 60 million tonnes, that is 34%. have reduced c02 emissions by 60 million tonnes, that is 3496. recent surveys show is climate change topped the list of concerns in germany and the chancellor angela merkel has vowed to make the country carbon neutral by 2050 but activists say that is not enough. palestinian leaders have dismissed a middle east economic plan due to be presented next week by the united states, saying it's an attempt to buy off their hopes for independence. the palestinian president, mahmoud abbas, says there must be a political solution before

an economic one. details of the 50 billion dollar initiative will be revealed by president trump's son—in—law, jared kushner, in bahrain. he's been speaking ahead of the announcement. the plan would invest about $50 billion in the region, createi millionjobs in the billion in the region, createi million jobs in the west bank and gaza and take the unemployment rate from 30% to single digits. it would reduce the poverty rate by half, if it is implemented correctly. more than half goes to the west bank and gaza, and what we also want to do is stimulatejordan, gaza, and what we also want to do is stimulate jordan, egypt and gaza, and what we also want to do is stimulatejordan, egypt and lebanon because if you can get that region starting to lift, and israel's economy is already doing well but if you degrade everything and you can get a quickerflow you degrade everything and you can get a quicker flow of goods and people then people are able to invest in education and infrastructure, and all of the different areas that are necessary, in industry rather than bullets and munitions and war, i think that will lead to a big increase in investment

in the area. the political side and the economic side are two very robust efforts and to digest both of them at one time would be hard so it was necessary to break them up so the question was, which one do you put first? are thought was that it was better to put the economic plan first, it is less controversial, it lets people study feedback and finalise and agree on what i can look like, and the peace agreement is an extensive document, something that i do think will make people look at this a little bit differently and hopefully bring people to the table to start having a discussion. the two remaining contenders in the race to become the next british prime minister — borisjohnson and jeremy hunt — have been making their pitches in front of conservative party members. boris johnson was the first to speak but he avoided answering questions about why the police were called to the flat he shares with his partner on thursday night. here's our political correspondent, vicky young. have you ruined your chances of

becoming prime minister, mrjohnson? mrjohnson, why were police outside your house last night? he's been accused of hiding from scrutiny, avoiding detailed answers about his policies on brexit and tax. we meet in dark days for our party... today, the questions were more personal. as borisjohnson faced hundreds of conservative party members and was asked why police had been called to his flat in the early hours of friday morning. i don't think they want to hear about that kind of thing, unless i... applause police were called to the flat borisjohnson shares with his girlfriend carrie symonds after neighbours reported hearing an angry row and were concerned about her welfare. a neighbour passed on a recording to the guardian newspaper. it is reported a woman could be heard screaming and saying, "get off", and "get out of my flat". the metropolitan police told the bbc there was no cause for police action.

so what about questions of character? would mrjohnson answer that? does a person's private life... booing don't boo, no, no, don't boo the great man. don't boo him. when he answers this question, i will move on. no, no, no. does a person's private life have any bearing on their ability to discharge the office of prime minister? well, no... i, look, i've tried to give my answer pretty exhaustively. on brexit, he said he was determined to take the uk out of the eu by october 31st. what i said was that leaving on october 31st was, my words were "eminently feasible", which was taken to mean that i wasn't100% determined to do it. "eminently feasible" means it is not only that we are going to do it but it's possible. borisjohnson is the favourite in this race. some think he already has a foot on the steps of number 10. but leadership contests are unpredictable. he could face more uncomfortable questions, as he has today.

some in this room do think he's a risky choice, but given the dire state of the conservative party, they might just think he is a risk worth taking. up next, the foreign secretary, jeremy hunt. he campaigned to remain during the referendum. now he wants to lead a pro—brexit party. so could he be trusted to deliver? if we got to the 31st of october and the eu have not shown any willingness to negotiate a better deal that can get through the house of commons, that's not going to trap us in the customs union, then myjudgment is that, weighing those difficult options up, the political risk of no brexit is far worse than the economic risk of no deal. and what about his character? did he have the charisma and steel to be a prime minister? some people would say, "he's too nice". i think it's possible to be very polite and very tough.

and i think my track record shows, you know, some very difficult industrial disputes that i had at the department of health. the advantage of the politeness is that people will talk to you. but by golly, i hope they don't underestimate you, because i'm going to get that deal. what did you make of it? i thought boris was absolutely fantastic. he was electric. the room came alive as soon as boris entered the room and he spoke, it was absolutely brilliant. jeremy surprised me, i have to say. he came over much better than i thought he would. and it's food for thought. what did you think about questions about borisjohnson's personal life? i mean, it was inevitable, given the timing, that they would be asked, and probably, probably inevitable that he would choose not to answer. there will be 15 more of these hustings before conservative members choose our next prime minister. plenty of time for more questions. vicki young, bbc news, birmingham.

borisjohnson — has refused to answer questions about police being called to the home he shares with his partner. a british foreign office minister is going to iran on sunday to call for an urgent de—escalation of tensions in the region. the situation also has a bearing on the case of nazanin zagari—ratcliffe, a british—iranian woman imprisoned in iran on charges of alleged spying. both she and her husband are on hunger strike in protest over her treatment. richard ratcliffe is camped outside the iranian embassy here in london. certainly increased tensions are never good for us, certainly we watch the news closely and we would be worried if things get too far, so i'm glad the minister will be trying to lobby both for the de—escalation of tensions and a chance for him to talk about nazanin's case. in terms of her condition, she is still where she was, she is still in the general

ward with the women. some of the women are checking she is ok and certainly the clinic is starting to worry and keep checking on her. she was off to see the head of the prison clinic and they keep wanting to put her on a drip which she has refused to do. we are waiting to see what the response is from the iranian authorities. day eight is getting tough. i am sitting down, i am getting tired and slower in thinking. i am not hungry oddly, but it is a gradual deterioration of being able to operate, but so far i am able to keep strong. the czech capital prague is bracing for the biggest demonstration since the 1989 overthrow of communism, as people gather to protest against the prime minister, andrej babis. the billionaire businessman is facing a criminal investigation over alleged fraud, and is also the subject of an eu conflict of interest investigation. mr babis has dismissed all the allegations as baseless and politically motivated. rob cameron sent this report from prague.

30 years ago, people power brought down an entire system, as mass demonstrations proved too much for the communist regime. but three decades on, these streets will soon be full once again as people protest against prime minister andrej babis, now mired in allegations of corruption. and in a deliberate echo of 1989, organisers are holding their latest rally at the same location, this time not against a dictatorship but a democratically elected government. yeah, i think it's true that the most important, even in democracy, our elections. and that is true and we respect that but it doesn't mean that once you elect somebody you just must stay silent and let politicians to do anything. politicians cannot break some important rules which is now happening in czech republic. many people share that view.

andrej babis might have won successive elections and still tops the opinion polls, but there is something greater at stake here, a sense that the hard—won freedoms of the velvet revolution are being undermined. i think that he is very focused on the profit and i think that he is also very focused on himself. and i think he proved it in last few years. we think that it's dangerous if things stay how they are now. it's like this prime minister, babis, he isjust trying to take over, control over the whole country, and it can be dangerous in the future. mr babis says he'll never resign over the fraud allegations, and for now, he has the support of cabinet colleagues. right now of course i'm sorry that these protests are going against the government because i think that the government

works pretty well, that we are doing a good job in general. of course i know that there are some protests, i can see them, i can feel that right now the situation is a little bit nervous but i take it as part of democracy. andrej babis and the czech government have tried to put a brave face on these mass protests, but with two separate investigations by both the czech police and the eu, how much more pressure can one man take? rob cameron, bbc news, prague. there's growing evidence that an increasing number of businesses and organisations are paying out millions to hackers in secret — against the advice of law enforcement agencies. so—called ‘ransomware' attacks — although in decline overall — appear to be becoming more targeted, with the computer systems of governments, institutions and multi—national corporations

being hijacked until a fee is paid. cyber—security reporterjoe tidy has been to visit one norwegian company still recovering after thousands of their computers were taken offline by hackers. nestled away in the norwegian forest, this aluminium plant had no idea it was being targeted by hackers. but when it was hit, it was just one of 170 sites brought to a standstill by a catastrophic cyber attack. computer systems went down everywhere. 35,000 employees forced use pen and paper. five weeks on, they are still recovering. this is another one of the computers that went down. so that was all gone? all gone. for days, olaf managed to keep his plant going manually. he relied on the skills of long—since retired workers and long—since forgotten paperwork. at the company's global headquarters in oslo, they are still rebuilding their systems.

as we were being attacked, we had to shut down the entire network. 40 countries, 22,000 pcs. we are still very much recovering. we don't trust anything. the hackers‘ ransom note that appeared on computer screens was typical. for a large fee, probably hundreds of thousands, they would restore the compa ny‘s files. but hydro never tried to negotiate and refused to cave in to the cybercriminals. i think in general, it is a very bad idea to pay. it fuels an industry. it is probably financing other sorts of crime. but there are plenty of companies who are paying and keeping it secret. to understand the scale, we need to go to the us, where ra nsomwa re payments are an open secret. this group will divvy up 80% of the bitcoin. codeware is one of a handful of companies that have started helping victims navigate the murky

world of cyber extortion. we always have at least half a dozen to a dozen cases. are these big companies? some of them are, yeah, public companies and name brands. industry analysis suggests that overall, ransomware attack numbers are in decline. hackers are increasingly going after bigger targets and demanding more money. we recognise that when a company needs to pay, and it's a large number, then that's what needs to happen and that could be seven figures. how do you feel when you pay seven figures? not good. it is not a good outcome. everybody recognises it is not a good outcome but you are dealing with the life and death of the company. there is no doubt it is a major dilemma and it is something authorities are trying to take control of without legislation. continuing to pay ransom perpetuates the crime. it actually makes the criminals, encourages them to commit further crimes and again, the whole idea, if you pay, you're actually fuelling organised crime on a global basis. but looking at the damage caused at hydro, it is obvious why the easy way out is attractive.

full recovery is still months away. the repair bill currently stands at well over £40 million. joe tidy, bbc news. events have been held across the uk to mark the first national windrush day — named after a ship that brought hundreds of caribbean migrants to help rebuild postwar britain. the government made the announcement last year after it emerged that some of the windrush generation and their families had been wrongly accused of living in britain illegally. adina campbell went to meet some of those taking part. five, six, seven, eight. one last practice for these schoolchildren in north london. for weeks they have been preparing performances for a special audience. some of the residents in this care home belong to the windrush generation and have been sharing their stories with their younger guests. hi, my name is kayla. where do you come from? i'm fromjamaica.

do you remember the year you came? yeah, 1959. what was your first day like in the uk? it was all right. when i came, i settled down. the empire windrush brings 500 jamaicans. the empire windrush docked at tilbury port in essex back in 1948. hundreds of passengers from the caribbean who were invited over after the second world war left theirfamilies to start a new life in the uk. taking upjobs in the nhs, armed forces and other public services. some of these experiences are reflected in the group performances at the care home. half a million pounds of government funding has been made available for community events all over the uk, to celebrate members of the windrush generation theirfamilies. # i don't need nobody #.

it is hoped these extraordinary stories will help us remember their valuable contribution. # all i need is you #. adina campbell, bbc news. the 2019 fifa women's world cup is underway in france. norway beat australia 4 — 1 on saturday in a penalty shootout in nice to reach the quarter finals. former champions germany also advanced to the quarter—finals after beating nigeria 3—0 at grenoble. sheriffs in the us town of butler creek montana have warned people to lock their doors after a black bear was found sleeping in a local household's wardrobe. local police said the bear only responded with a yawn when officers attempted to wake the animal up, having entered a laundry room before

bolting the door shut behind itself! unfortunately for the homeowners the bear ripped the room apart before climbing into the wardrobe for a nap. stay with us. good morning. it certainly was a very pleasant start to the weekend across much of the uk. the sunshine tempted people onto the beaches as it will do later in the beaches as it will do later in the week but for the next couple of days we will swap blue skies for some stormy days we will swap blue skies for some stormy ones, days we will swap blue skies for some stormy ones, but the potential for torrential thunderstorms which could cause some flash flooding. by the end of the week the sunshine will be back and by this stage heat and humidity will be starting to soar. into today we have that area of low pressure bringing storms later on but the high pressure that brought the sunshine still across most of the uk. so it will be a bright, sunny start for many, some

patchy rain in the hebrides, gradually moving northwards. showers into scotland later in the day. north—west england will develop brain through the morning, spreading into parts of wales and the south and west of northern ireland later. elsewhere, sunshine becoming hazy, temperatures in the mid teens, the norton —— the bottom half of the uk in the 20s. then humidity starts to increase later and it could start to turn stormy particularly through northern england we could see some severe thunderstorms. some could see as much as 50 millimetres, two inches of rain, which could cause some flash flooding and problems into the monday morning rush hour. especially across eastern parts of scotla nd especially across eastern parts of scotland as that rain starts to move in. into monday we go, parts of eastern scotland wettest to begin with, rain easing northwards, sunshine breaking through with some misty low cloud, then we could see some further severe storms for parts of northern england and southern

scotland, getting the worst of those, but that position could change a little bit. a cool day in northern scotland with an easterly breeze and to the south, a very humid sort of day with some sunshine breaking through the cloud. going through monday night and into tuesday morning, a batch of storms moves away but we could see some more rain across the eastern half of england, some severe storms, but they could be further west so keep checking the forecast for the storms on tuesday. a lot of those will ease away through the day. one or two left over but temperatures widely into the 20s by this stage. and we can see high pressure building back in later in the week. after a brief drop in temperatures, some low cloud around the coast, going towards the end of the week, high pressure to the east as we start tapping into record—breaking heat across other parts of western europe with temperatures in the mid 20s to low 30s. temperatures in the mid 20s to low 305. i temperatures in the mid 20s to low 30s. i will keep you updated. goodbye for now.
