hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source. the front runner to be britain's next prime minister says brexit will happen on time "come what may" — borisjohnson‘s opponent says it's about who can be trusted, to deliver. thejudgement is, who is the person we trust as prime minister to go to brussels and bring back the deal? it's about the personality of that prime minister. tensions between the us and iran deteriorate into name calling — amidst the insults president trump warns any move by tehran will be met with overwhelming force. the head of america's border protection agency is stepping down, that's after a huge outcry over the treatment of children being detained.

and the united nation warns of "climate apartheid" with the rich avoiding the worst effects of climate change, and the poorest paying the price. first a date for your diary. the next leader of the conservative party will be announced on 23july. he'll become prime minister the next day. it will be either boris johnson orjeremy hunt. according to bookmakers, borisjohnson has an 80% chance of winning. and remember he was by far the most popular among conservative mps who chose the final two. well we've been hearing from both of them. first here's boris johnson on talk radio. we have course will be pushing our plan into action. we will be ready

to come out on october the 31st come what may. do or die? do or die. come what may. do or die? do or die. come what may. that's significant. we'll hold you to that boris, or the brexit party will be forming the next government!". remember, the brexit party came first in recent european elections — the conservatives came fifth. they‘ re under pressure. now, borisjohnson is saying he wants a deal with the eu — but one without the irish border "backstop". that's a measure designed to avoid a hard border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland, if the uk and the eu fail to agree a long—term future trade deal. remember too that the eu says it won't reopen the withdrawal agreement — and the backstop is in it. here's borisjohnson on this issue with the bbc‘s political editor laura kuenssberg.

and the european union says it will not reopen the withdrawal agreement. something is going to have to give up. here's boris johnson something is going to have to give up. here's borisjohnson speaking on this issue with the bbc‘s political editor. nobody wants a hard border in northern ireland. and indeed nobody believes that it will be necessary. if you want to be prime minister you have to tell people how you would do it, you cannotjust wish it to be true. there are abundant technical fixes that could be introduced to make sure that you don't have to have checks at the border. you are right that there is no single magic bullet, but what there is is a wealth of experience, a wealth of solutions and what has changed now is there's a real positive energy about getting it done. nick robinson summed up what he calls the boris brexit plan in full after watching the interview.

that is just brexit but it's not just about brexit. let's speak to rob watson who guides us let's speak to rob watson who guides us through these matters. a lot of policy detail coming out, at least in the headlines way, but not too much detail underneath it in terms of how it will be implemented and paid for. no, absolutely not. let me just pause and reflect for a minute i'm borisjohnson who had been rather absent keeping a low profile and from his performances so far you

can perhaps see why his handlers we re can perhaps see why his handlers were doing that and here's what puzzles me, it we are here and i'm talking to you from oxford, where borisjohnson was a student here. talking to you from oxford, where boris johnson was a student here. he had been ambitious to be prime minister and here's what strikes me, the prize so close at hand now, he seems rather lacking in confidence. he seems rather uncertain. he does not seem the boris johnson he seems rather uncertain. he does not seem the borisjohnson that he seems rather uncertain. he does not seem the boris johnson that we are you still. moving swiftly on to your question absolutely not. we have not had a great deal of detail on policy and indeed as my colleague was summing up it seems a boris johnson is betting the brexit farm on this idea that somehow the eu will negotiate a better deal with him than it did with theresa may, and failing that it's no deal, brexit on october the 31st. so that is borisjohnson, brexit on october the 31st. so that is boris johnson, next brexit on october the 31st. so that is borisjohnson, next let's talk aboutjeremy hunt. the current foreign secretary. he started today with this promise.

"we need to give our brave troops the backing they need — so i'm pledging to boost defence spending by £15bn over the next 5 years". we have not got a huge amount of detail exactly how that would be funded. in the last few hours he is given an interview to laura. here is is telling her how he would avoid a hard border in northern ireland. it would be changing the backstop but with some guarantees we would not have a hard border in ireland for completely obvious reasons. that approach is not too different to what boris wants. it will be a technology lead solution. you are putting forward, just as boris johnson told us yesterday, something that the european union has said no to. on multiple occasions. but they said is it is up to the uk to come up said is it is up to the uk to come up with a solution, but of course if you come up with a different solution, something that can work, then we will look at the whole

package. it will be a technology lead solution, i think everyone thinks that within the next decade where not going to have these big border checks when it comes to goods because they will do it online. let's be clear, there's no solutions that exist at the moment which could address the concerns that the european union and ireland have about what is going to happen on that border. in that interviewjeremy hunt admitted that his brexit strategy is quite similar to borisjohnson‘s. so he wants conservative members to consider who is "trustworthy". it's about the personality. if you choose the one where there is no trust and no negotiation and no deal... you don't trust boris johnson and think he would be trustworthy as prime minister was yellow i would never make those comments about a fellow candidate. i will serve borisjohnson to the very best of my ability. you have just

sat there in a race of two people and said this is about who we can trust, somewhere we can trust to like me or someone we cannot trust. we were clearly talking about your opponent in this race. no, i am saying i am trustworthy. whichever way the interview goes to think is becoming about borisjohnson‘s trustworthy and credibility? that's one of those interviews that were colleague laura was doing and struggling away on that one where i am struggling to get the answer, you can imagine voters chucking stuff at the tv saying my goodness, that's a politician answering but you are absolutely right and in fact if i had to characterize the conservative leadership race so far it would be like this, and on the one hand lots of people who have worked with boris johnson and ben his associates over the years of saying that they don't think he is fit for high office both on the grounds of personality and

his ability to grasp policy detail. and on the other hand lots of people who are his enthusiastic supporters in the conservative party and really wa nt in the conservative party and really want brexit saying no, all of this isa want brexit saying no, all of this is a smear want brexit saying no, all of this isa smearand want brexit saying no, all of this is a smear and a way of doing down brexit and mrjohnson, which i don't know about you, it makes me think of a certain country and a certain president west of here. yes, there are some parallels. no doubt. one less thing to talk about as we've seen unusual less thing to talk about as we've seen unusual moments less thing to talk about as we've seen unusual moments from the candidates today. in a moment, jeremy hunt lets slip how long he's wanted to be prime minister. quite a long time is the clue. first borisjohnson being asked on talkradio what he enjoys doing in his spare time. you could guess the answer between now and next year — and you'd never get it. i make buses. you make models of buses? i make models of buses.

i get older, i don't know, wooden crates. right? and then i paint them. and they have, it's a box that has been used to contain two wine bottles. and it will have a dividing thing. iturn bottles. and it will have a dividing thing. i turn it into a bus. i put passengers, you really want to know this? you're making cardboard buses. that is what you do to enjoy yourself. no, i paint the passengers enjoying themselves. on the wonderful bus.|j on the wonderful bus. i have it ready for this moment for 30 years of my life. i've been sitting around the cabinet table thinking howl wa nt the cabinet table thinking howl want to transform our country. he wa nted want to transform our country. he wanted to be the prime minister for 30 years? when did you know?|j wanted to be the prime minister for 30 years? when did you know? i will not say that. if i say that is going to put people off. 30 years is a

very, very long time and this is britain. i would love to do this job. when i was a teenager edge a lot of making cardboard buses and dreaming of being prime minister.|j making cardboard buses and dreaming of being prime minister. i am pinching myself. it is so surreal and thinking about this, shall he say, you know people will be watching and listening all over the world thinking, politicians are normal, right? they arejust like the rest of us, i mean it's an extraordinary piece of television and you cannot help wondering why they can't think of something, i don't know something straightforward. reading? music? fishing? football? one last question, it's all quite diverting especially today where there has been a whole range of developments and clips, but fundamentally it's about 160,000 people who have a vote, the party members. does any of

this at up to a fundamental shift from borisjohnson this at up to a fundamental shift from boris johnson being this at up to a fundamental shift from borisjohnson being the strong favourite? no. that's the short a nswer favourite? no. that's the short answer and i don't think anyone would say anything and most neutrals would say anything and most neutrals would not say that about his campaign so far. an unmitigated disaster. the conservative party activists want brexit, what do they wa nt activists want brexit, what do they want to? sooner rather than later, who let me leave campaign, boris johnson? let's talk about iran and the us because things are not improving. iran says it no longer has a reason to meet its commitments under the 2015 nuclear deal. we already knew it'll breach enriched uraniaum limits this week. now we're told that onjuly 7, we'll have more detail on other comitments that will no longer be met. iran argues that the original deal reduced western sanctions in exchange for iranian commitments.

but because the us pulled out and introduced sanctions, it says isn't willing to keep its side of the bargain any more. on top of that president rouhani saying new sanctions announced yesterday proved the white house is ‘mentally retarded'. you can imagine how that has gone down. president trump said this... here's more from the rouhani news conference. translation: at the same time you call for negotiations you seek to sanction the foreign minister? it is obvious that you are lying. if you really wa nt obvious that you are lying. if you really want to do negotiate we would have negotiated. you come up proved to bea have negotiated. you come up proved to be a liar. you are not seeking to negotiate. if you did we would have negotiated. the other perspective.

donald trump speaking an hour ago. when you are ready, they will have to let us know. when they are ready, they will let us know. very simple. ready to do whatever, does not make any difference, whatever they are ready to do i am ready. the sanctions announced yesterday target iran's supreme leader. and we're told iran's foreign minister will also be targeted this week. there were already extensive sanctions in place. since then the iran's currency rial has plumetted and this is inflation. a different story if you look at inflation. this would happen when the nuclear deal was signed, inflation came down from around 30% to 10%. this would happen when it introduced sanctions. here's an interntional lawyer on the impact this has had. the sanctions have they have had a

crippling effect on the day—to—day life of your average iranian person. even though they exempt from sanctions things like food and medicine, practically speaking it's very difficult to get those products into iran because the global banking restrictions. people are very concerned about significant penalties and the crippling sanctions that can come along with that. even though they can get those products in and makes it very difficult to do so. the american policy is bring maximum pressure to bear and in the end iran will negotiate. this is the national security advisor. it will be, i think, the combination of sanctions and other pressure that does bring iran to the table. there we re does bring iran to the table. there were it is not very good, they violated, as i mentioned before the nuclear deal and violated the nonproliferation treaty. their say—sois nonproliferation treaty. their say—so is going to be and require being backed up in their say—so that

they will engage in serious negotiations if we give them relief lacks a certain amount of credibility. we should make clear that the un says iran abided by the nuclear deal, it's the us withdrawal from the deal that jeopardised it. they are not lined up behind with the americans are saying. john bolton was speaking in jerusalem today. he's part of a us push to build an alliance against iran. yesterday, secratery of state mike pompeo was in saudi arabia — and emphasising the need for maritime security in the strait of hormuz. that's where iran shot down a us drone last week. and where six tankers have been attacked in the last two months. the us blames iran for those too. the americans are focused on gulf states and israel — much less so europe because the europeans still believe in the 2015 deal. here's one economist

with more on this. do you see were the trump administration broadly had been making quite an effort over the last year, year and have half to convince traditional allies? the us has moved away from any ways, to question without a look of nato and etc. but trying to put pressure on france, germany and the uk to take a tougher line on iran, to participate in us sanctions and not to seek to show herup sanctions and not to seek to show her up the nuclear deal? the obviously can't do nothing with this little support for that and iran had given a lifeline to europe saying help us keep exporting and shore up oui’ help us keep exporting and shore up our economy. the us then pivoted to eastern europe, a bit of support there but not very much and we now see us officials travelling in the middle east looking to shore up regional alliances there against iran, but thus far outside of the middle east they have not been able to build a coalition. the us is a p pa re ntly to build a coalition. the us is apparently willing to go it alone on

this one. here's rana rahimpour, from bbc persian, on what iran may do next. there's a lot they could do it and he could still be within the nuclear agreement with the rest of the world. pa rt of agreement with the rest of the world. part of it was voluntary and what they can do is that they will increase the amount of enriched uranium or increase the amount of enriched uranium oi’ amount increase the amount of enriched uranium or amount they keep in the country so there is a lot they can change, but they have not given us that much detail. and you arrived on site telling me president macron is becoming part of the story. yes, he was on the phone with the iranian president and saying that iran is not looking to go into a war with united states. but he said that if they enter any of our territories we will shut them down. in terms of the major individuals in iran the headline yesterday was the americans are targeting the supreme leader and today they are saying the foreign

minister may be targeted later this week. how significant are these decisions to target individuals? initially the reaction was what does this mean, the church supreme leader does not travel abroad or have any assets abroad. it's more symbolic. the fact is that there are so many constitutions affiliated to the office that it will not be an easy job for the treasury to find out about these companies and if they can and we are talking about something between 70 if they can those companies down many of which are nesting in the middle east, if they managed to find those out they can potentially impact the iranian economy. the busy person and broadcasts around the world, is it possible to gauge how they are viewing the story? mixed reactions obviously. about the sanctions some people knew about these and his supporters thought this is a sign that the united states is running

out of options. is that it is meaningless and baseless and it will not mean anything. there were those that thought that it was late and they were wondering why it took the united states so long to put sanctions on the supreme leader, but overall people all worried and every little piece of news that they receive makes them more worried in the field that we are heading for an confrontation at some point. in a few minutes we will turn to these black rhinos, they have been ona on a very long journey from the uk all the way to rwanda in an effort to help their species and the bbc made the very long journey with them. britain's most advanced weapons system is being tested in battle over iraq and syria for the first time. the raf‘s new f35jets have been flying their first missions in the battle against the group known as islamic state. our defence correspondentjonathan beale reports from raf akrotiri.

britain prospect most advanced and most expensive fighter jet britain prospect most advanced and most expensive fighterjet is now ready for combat. f 30 fives flying out in cyprus have now flown out in iraq and syria. thejets, each of which cost around £100 million have been gathering intelligence albeit againstan been gathering intelligence albeit against an enemy that has already lost its territory. the real test for this aircraft designed for stealth will be against a more sophisticated adversary with air defences. for now the focus is still on defeating is, six f 35 will continue flying missions over iraq and syria till the end of the month. combat ready if not yet battle proven. this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. our lead is... tensions between the us and iran have deteriorated into name—calling

calling after the united states imposed new sanctions after the united states imposed new sanctions on tehran. on tehran. now, the of efforts to revitalise the rhino population in rwanda. the eastern black rhino was wiped out there — but now with the help of a breeding programme in europe, five rhinos have just been reintroduced. victoria gill travelled with the rhinos to kigali in rwanda. this project has been years in the planning, but actually the foundations of started decades ago when european zoos came together to captive breed thesis of species, the eastern black rhino and association. that meant a europe—wide dating game of easter black rhinos to swap these animals around and produce the most genetically diverse healthy

operation. the lead to a situation where 10% of operation. the lead to a situation where10% of the entire world population of easter black rhino now reside in european zoos, just a thousand animals left in total in the wild. these five animals were selected as the best candidates representing and diversity of the gene pool to bring back to africa. on monday the rhinos were put into their special transportation planes and travelled 6000 km. they will spend the first few months here in temporary closures will he settle in and get habituated to their new surroundings, and when the keepers are happy that they are ready for release the doors will be opened to the wider park. this is no small thing. it is to be high—tech surveillance and armed guard that will watch over these animals for the rest of their days. the g20

injapan will in japan will feature some injapan will feature some of it brings together the world's weathliest countries. the head of the world trade organisation has been speaking to the bbc about the dangers of global trade wars, and how rising trade barriers are slowing down the global economy. we clearly have not seen this level of trade restriction measures in a very, very long time. just two years ago trade was expending a 4.6% and we felt like we were kind of out of the woods and now we are expecting this year 2.6% and it's now not looking very good of those trade measures keep being applied. this is something that affects everyone. this is not a bilateral issue only, if it were so maybe you could cross your fingers if it were so maybe you could cross yourfingers and if it were so maybe you could cross your fingers and hope that two or three countries could figure it out and after the 2008 crisis the

success of the g20 in its ability to co—ordinate a response which was very localised in the early stages of those stages and now we're talking about a similar thing. we have something that is somewhat localised but it is in fact affect eve ryo ne localised but it is in fact affect everyone the fact that it slows down eve ryo ne everyone the fact that it slows down everyone to the extent that it slows down trade and a lot of what we see now in the economic growth is precisely uncertainty. investors are not putting their money anywhere. we're waiting to see where is going and this is a big that is not quite and this is a big that is not quite a change without affirmative action on the part of the g20 leaders. in the second half we will turn to the us because the senior us official has resigned in connection to the conditions some children are being held on the border between the us and mexico. we will speak to them

and mexico. we will speak to them and around five minutes. hello. thank you forjoining me for our world weather round up. lots of talk about heavy rain, and some intense heat for you through the best part of the next three minutes, let's start in india and pakistan. plenty of heat to the north, as we await the onset of the monsoon. it's been delayed getting into the northwest of india, but now, progressing into maharashtra, some heavy downpours to come here on wednesday, but actually, it's the northeast that we are most concerned about. seeing really heavy rain in the next few days, west bengal, at risk of flash flooding, as the rain proves relentless. to the north, the dry weather largely dominant. a few stray pre—monsoon showers, but from here you can see the rain is becoming properly established in the coming days. some heavy rains to the north of bangladesh, largely fine, we will continue with plenty

of sunshine as we make our way further west across afghanistan, as far north as kazakhstan, and the sunshine goes all the way across the black and caspian seas into the middle east. and then, talking about heat once again, a bit developing in the coming days, but that doesn't really have any knock on effect on the temperatures, just stirs up some dust and sand, and rainfor qatar, parts of saudi arabia, and iraq. the heat though really significant here, and particularly a good rain in the north. we could see 50—51d in some spots in the next few days, so above average for the time of year, but the heat making its way, a good way north up into there as well, so temperatures in syria getting into the low 405. baghdad could get 48—119 before the week is out. we are going to stay with heat, as we move our way into europe for the coming days. heat quite widely across europe, but western europe, talking about a heatwave for the later part

of the week, potentially record—breaking temperatures across the west of france. high—pressure basically extending itself out across europe currently, pushing this flow out to the west, we still keep a southerly flow, and that taps us into very warm air from northern africa. the dark orange behind me shows you the plume of that very warm air getting up to the south of the uk, for the south of france, i think thursday, likely to be the peak of the heatwave. our current all—time high, 44.1 degrees, that's the figure to beat, and it does look like the forecasters indicating we may well do that. somewhere across the south of france on thursday. just a little bit more unsettled to the north, low—pressure spilling out of scandinavia into western russia memorial showers here, and a cooler field to proceedings. but a lot of sunshine generally across europe for thursday, and through the coming days, that high—pressure is keen to settle itself, so our outlooks feature a lot of sunshine. and for the uk, temperatures set to continue rising as well, peak heat here on saturday, more on that in half an hour.

hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source. borisjohnson is saying that brexit will happen on october the 31st, come what may. this though is what his opponent is suggesting voters think about. thejudgement is, who is the person we trust as prime minister, to go to brussels, and bring back that deal? it's about the personality of our prime minister. iran's president has launched a series of attacks on america after those new sanctions, but president trump in return has had any military action by iran will be met with overwhelming force. we will talk about the story in the moment. the head of america's border protection agency is stepping down, that's after a huge outcry over the treatment of children

being detained. and the united nation warns of "climate apartheid" with the rich avoiding the worst effects of climate change, and the poorest paying the price. this story has been developing in the last couple of hours. the top border official in the united states says he's stepping down amid outrage over the treatment of detained migrant children. this is the us border patrol station in clint, texas. 250 migrant chldren were moved out of there in the past few days following a scathing report on its conditions — no acess to clean clothes, or showers, or even toothbrushes. today the head of the border agency john sanders announced he would leave his post. as you know, we talk about this a

lot on outside source. since 2018, some parents and children coming across the borderfrom mexico were separated under the trump administration's "zero tolerance" policy. almost 3,000 children were taken from their parents until the policy was suspended. here's one lawyer describing conditions after visiting the facility in el paso, texas. many of the children had not had access to a single shower or bath, they were wearing the same dirty clothing that they crossed the border with. there are reports from the detention facility that children were made to sleep on concrete floors with no mattresses and an open toilet. a year ago these images of children kept in cages in one of the detention centres at the us border caused an uproar. the issue is back — and trump administration lawyers have argued in court — they do not need to supply tootbrushes or soap. this exchange in court is remarkable.

it's been viewed millions of times on social media. it's within everybody‘s common understanding that, you know, if you don't have a toothbrush, if you don't have a toothbrush, if you don't have a toothbrush, if you don't have soap, if you don't have a blanket, it's not safe and sanitary. wouldn't everybody agree to that? do you agree with that? well... i think it's... do you agree with that? well... i think it's. .. —— do you agree with that? well... i think it's... —— i think those are, there is fair... reason to find that those things may be part of save and sanitary. not may be. are apart. why do you say may be? you mean there are circumstances where a person would need to have a toothbrush, toothpaste and soap? four days? well, i think in cvp custody, it's frequently intended to be much shorter terms, so it may be that for a shorter term stay in their custody, that some of those things may not be required. let's bring in barbara platt usher, who is covering this from washington. barbara, help me understand this, was this a policy where it was decided that

these children did need that are facilities? or are the people involved in those facilities saying we would like to give them something better, but we don't have the resources ? i think it's more the latter, really. the infrastructure of these patrol stations, the detention cells, the holding cells, were really designed to hold migrants for only a few hours. not for days and days at a time, and not children either. they hadn't been specifically prepared to deal with children, and this is what border officials have been saying. and they have, of course, been inundated by the surge of migrants, central american migrants coming up through mexico, families and children, and they have overwhelmed the infrastructure. mr sanders, the acting commissioner, the one who has just resigned, didn't say that this was why he was leaving the post, but there are reports that the leadership at the border agency do find it extremely daunting, the scale of the migrant crisis. what do

we know about the children who are tied up in this? well, there are two kinds of children. categories of children. some of them are children coming across the border with adults, usually with their parents, but not always. sometimes with a family member like an uncle or sometimes just with an adult. so that it's more likely that they will receive aid, and then there are unaccompanied children, who come across just as they are. these are the ones that are the most challenging, and this is something that the border agencies have struggled with, and this is something that the immigration activists have accused the administration of simply not having the right facilities, and not the right attitude to take care of them, and there are two bills right now in congress, one in the house, which is controlled by democrats, and one in the senate, which is controlled by republicans, trying to provide more resources to deal with this crisis. barbara, thank you, i will come back

to her moments, but let me bring in a couple of elements of the story. first of all, warren binford is a professor of law at willamette university. she recenty visited the border patrol facility near el paso, in texas. every parent in the world knows that if you are responsible for a child, even for one night, you make sure that they have access to soap, that they are given a toothbrush, and toothpaste. the world health organisation tells us the world health organisation tells us that you can reduce infant mortality by 50%, if you do nothing more than to practise safe handwashing. keep in mind, that these children are being forced to defecate, urinate, eat, sleep, and spend their entire day, 24 hours a day, seven days a week in this cell. overcrowded with other children, sleeping on the floor, to think that they are supposed to do all of these things with no soap is insane. the border authority has acknowledged that the clint facility was inadequate.

ina statement... one group told the texas tribune they spent $340 on diapers, wipes, soaps and toys for the clint facility, but were completely ignored by all the agents on duty. congressional democrats say they are planning to pass a $4.5 billion dollar aid package to address the migrant surge along the us—mexico border. president trump has just been speaking on the issue.. i'm very concerned. it's in much better shape than it ever was, a lot of these young children come from places that you don't even want to know about, the way they live, the way they have been, the way the property that they grew up in. —— poverty but with that, if we can get this bill signed, we will be able to do it. the democrats don't want to sign anything.

barbara help me understand this, they both sound like they're willing to spend money, so where is disagreement? so there is a belt for a $4.5 billion in the house, which is sponsored by the democrats, and that would be for, a lot of it would be for humanitarian factors, involved in the border crisis. they have also put ina in the border crisis. they have also put in a standard for health, hygiene, nutrition, that sort of thing for both children and adults. also tighter requirements for the ca re of also tighter requirements for the care of children, they put some of those provisions in it recently, as the information from the border has been coming in. the white house has said it would veto, or the president said it would veto, or the president said he would veto that bill, because among other things, he feels it doesn't give enough money for border enforcement. there's also a bill in the senate, which is the republican one, and that's for roughly the same amount of money, but democrats say it doesn't do enough to protect migrant children. however, they will have to come together, they will have to combine these bills in some way that they can agree on before they send

anything to the presidents, because they are only going to send him one bill. barbara, we will talk to you throughout the week i'm sure. thank you. let's take a look at the straight from the mexican perspective. mexico says it has deployed nearly 15000 soldiers and members of the national guard to police its border with the united states. this is the mexican defence minister. translation: considering that migration is not a crime, it's an administrative offence, we only detain them and deliver them to the competent authorities, so they can carry on regular procedures. therefore the authorities are the only ones responsible for what happens to these migrants. we've also deployed a total of 15,000 national guard and soldiers to the northern border. will grant, bbc‘s central america correspondent recently went to the border. he is speaking to us from havana in cuba now. thank you for joining us. i want to understand better what these 15,000 troops and police are going to be doing next to the border.

well they are going to patrol the northern border at least initially, the 15,000 that you mentioned there, right from tijuana and baja california on the west coast all the way up to the east coast. i saw one lobbyist on twitter suggest that, perhaps this is what mr trump meant about mexico paying for the wall, and what i think that meant by that is that this was the enforcement thatis is that this was the enforcement that is coming on the mexican side, let's not forget that the trump administration placed a sort of 45 day deadline on mexico to comply, when there was the whole hullabaloo over the idea of tariffs being related to immigration, just a couple of weeks ago. this is their response. it's very robust in terms ofa response. it's very robust in terms of a military, national guard deployments, and it's notjust of course on the northern border, which is obviously the one that president trump is most concerned about. it's on the southern border, which is very poor with guatemala and belize.

15,000 is a big number, but it's a long border. i have some trouble gauging how much impact this increase in number of troops will have. is there any evidence that it's working? it's only days in terms of whether or not it's working. i think half of the question when it comes to these steps is being seen to act, isn't it? it's about the message that it sends to human trafficking gangs, to people smuggling gangs, that you know, the mexican authorities are on you now, they will be watching, there will be clamping down. not just on those who are running through the trafficking, the smuggling gangs, but alsojust individualfamilies, who smuggling gangs, but alsojust individual families, who think well, the time is now. we need to act, otherwise things will get very difficult next year, you know, that sort of feeling, that well if mexico is acting much harder than it used to do, then perhaps it's not worth

trying. so i think that's part of what's going on here. it's about perception, a message being sent to washington and to guatemala, el salvador, and honduras. thank you very much, good to have you on outside source as ever, in havana. every day on the programme, we bring you the most important for the next race from around the world. the next concerns a warning from un experts, saying climate apartheid is coming. where the rich pay to provide for themselves and the rest of the world suffers. the report author tweeted. .. his report is available online. it says developing nations will suffer at least 75% of the costs of climate change — despite the fact that the poorer half of the world's population generates 10% of emissions. and despite this being a un report, it says also steps taken by the un are inadequate.

more predictably, it criticises president trump for actively silencing climate science. and brazil's president, jair bolsonaro, for opening up the amazon rainforest to mining. here is the report's author, the un special rapporteur on human rights philip alston. well the actual economic analysis and statistics and so on drawn from the world bank and from other international institutions that are specialised in studying these sorts of issues. my contribution is really to say that while climate change is affecting people in developed countries through all of the fires and floods and heat waves that we

are seeing in europe this week, and so on. are seeing in europe this week, and so on. nonetheless, the impact is going to be vastly greater on it people living in poverty, whether it's in developing countries or, you know, our own countries in the north. your report says the un's current measures are inadequate. so what would you like to see the un do in advance of what they are already doing? well, i think that the un, like everyone else, has tended to look at the issue in silos. so it has development policy, it has human rights policy, it has security policy, and then it has climate policy. the reality is that it makes no sense to be doing anything in the development area or in the human rights area without taking full account of climate change. because everything that we are doing there will potentially be swamped by climate change. the achievements at

the last 50 years or so in the field of development in the field of poverty alleviation could all be wiped out very quickly by climate change, unless urgent measures are taken to bring about serious halting of current trends. in a few minutes on the programme, we will hear about a us peace plan for the middle east unveiled by donald trump's son—in—law gets a pretty cool reception, from palestinians. everyone's expectations of us are very low. we will explain why. it's hot in europe at the moment. france is bracing itself for a heatwave, with temperatures expected to reach 40 celsius in some places by the end of the week. the government has designated almost 1000 ‘cool spaces‘ around paris. from paris, here's lucy williamson. amongst the visitors to paris this week, one has come straight from the sahara, a blast of summer heat that has sent temperatures into the 30s and the government scrambling for cover.

hundreds of cool spaces including parks, gardens and public buildings have been marked out across the capital, and temporary fountains and mist makers have been set up to help people keep cool. the weather may be coming from the sahara, but it is not quite desert temperatures in france yet. paris is a balmy 33 degrees today but it is expected to rise, and some parts of france further south are predicted to reach 40 degrees tomorrow. it is notjust france that is affected. in the spanish capital madrid temperatures could rise to 40 degrees, and up to 42 in some parts of the country. the warning from one meteorologist is that hell is coming. rome is forecast to hit at least 36 degrees, while parts of northern italy are expected to top 40. though rome's famous fountains are still strictly for admiring. further north of the german capital berlin is expected

to reach 37 degrees. even the zoo has emergency fountains in place. it is all caused by the jet stream which has got stuck. we are getting hot air from north africa so it is the combination of hot air from africa and light winds which are set to see temperatures surge. in france teenagers had their national exams pushed back this week, after the government said the heat was impossible. too bad commuters on the paris metro cannot plead the same. lucy williamson, bbc news, paris. this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. our lead story.. the race to be the uk's next prime minister has turned personal with jeremy hunt saying it should be someone who is trustworthy — otherwise the uk risks a general election and no brexit.

we have the first part of the white house's long—awaited plan for peace in the middle east. the president's advisor and son—in—law jared kushner presented it at a summit in bahrain. at its heart is money — and the commitment to invest 50—billion dollars in palestinnian territorities and their arab neighbours. and jared kushner calls it the opportunity of the century. critics have a few other words for it. but here he is speaking earlier. for a moment, imagine fora moment, imagine a new for a moment, imagine a new reality in the middle east. imagine a bustling commercial and tourist centre in gaza on the west bank, for international businesses to come together and thrive. imagine the west ba n k together and thrive. imagine the west bank as a blossoming economy followed entrepreneurs, engineers, scientists, and business leaders. imagine people and goods flowing

quickly and securely throughout the region, as economics become more integrated, and people become more prosperous. some people might be imagining it, but it's hard to overstate how low expectations are for this plan. the palestinians are boycotting the conference. because of that the us asked the israelis not to attend either. this was the west bank today. clashes broke out between israeli security forces and palestinian protesters — who are vowing to hold demonstrations for three days. it was a similar scene in gaza. demonstraters burned israeli flags and pictures of donald trump. this is the leader of the miltiant group hamas. translation: we declare our rejection of the deal of the century and of the conference. we will work to bring down this conspiracy, and affirm the arab identity ofjerusalem and palestine. and the right to the refugees to return to their homes. here‘s the plan titled ‘peace to prosperity‘. it outlines a transformation

of the west bank and gaza and says it‘ll "open a new chapter in palestinian history" "one defined, not by adversity and loss, but by freedom and dignity". no where in his document is there mention of statehood for palestinians which is a long stated goal. and palestinian president mahmoud abbas was scathing. ina in a statement he said... thisjoint opinion piece in politico by three israelis who founded a non—partisan think—tank blue white future says putting economics before core political issues is a slap in the face. and this washington post article by the palestinian prime minister calls it a blue print for apartheid. and he spoke earlier in ramallah. israel and the united states are trying to do now, is simply to

normalise relationships with the arabs at the expense of the palestinians, this is something that we don‘t accept, and this is something that is totally rejected. today is the idea of anger, but palestinians everywhere are united behind the leadership of brazil and... jared kushner‘s plan hinges on using financial incentives to find a political solution between israelis and palestinians. the last talks ended in 2014. and the process has become even more complicated since then — one reason is a deep split between the palestinians. there are two palestinian territories. the palestinian authority controls the west bank — controlled by palestinian authority, and its leader, and then gaza, which is controlled by hamas, which the us regards as a terrorist group. that split is just one of issues complicating the search for peace. yolande knell is one of the bbc‘s middle east correspondents. palestinians say that promised estate is becoming less viable because of a big increase

in the number of israeli settlers living in occupied areas. there are just over 200,000 in 1990 come another number is three times bigger. settlers are seen as illegal under international law, but israel rejects that. palestinians say they want a return of peace talks without a freeze on settlement building. and here‘s something else that‘s changed since the 1993 peace deal. this wall is part of israel‘s west bank barrier. work on it started during the second palestinian uprising, israel said it was to protect israelis against attacks, but the palestinians see it as a land grab, as it encroaches on land they want for their future state. of course, violence increases mistrust, and thousands of people have been killed in this conflict in recent years. many weren‘t soldiers or militants.

israeli civilians have been killed and injured by palestinians in suicide bombings and rocket attacks, and in stabbings, shootings, and car runnings. the palestinian side, many civilians have been killed and injured in israeli air strikes, or have been shocked shot by israeli security forces, mostly during operations or clashes. for years the us has acted as mediator between the israelis and the palestinians. but since donald trump took office that‘s changed. it the palestinians accuse him of bias towards the israelis and prime minister netanyahu. they point towards the decision to recognise jerusalem as israel‘s capital. and to move its embassy there. also, the us has cut all aid to palestinians in the west bank. and ended funding for the un agency for palestinian refugees. and the palestinians diplomatic office in washington was closed by the trump regime. all of which and more means the us aren‘t seen by the palestinians as neutral mediators. today the us national security adviserjohn bolton had this message for the palestinians.

the diplomatic office in washington was closed by the trump administration, all of which, and more, means the us has not seen the palestinians as neutral in this discussion. today, the us national security adviser, john bolton had this message for them. jordanians have been a little bit worried since the announcement of mr trump to move the omega jerusalem. and they are not happy, therefore they announced that, their participation will be just to listen for the thoughts, the egyptians on the other side, they are really struggling with saudis, who are standing behind this trump front, behind this workshop. they are also calling in one way or another to revive the energy hub. however, they have also at the same time, a problem in sinai, which is a trouble that one of the plans is to open up with gaza, the lebanese is still a main player in libya, and still also has a sort of opposing standing against their workshop.

evidently that wasn‘tjohn bolton, that was from bbc arabic, with the broader regional view on the latest initiative from the americans. before we go — in the last few minutes, the netherlands have secured their place in the quarter finals of women‘s world cup by beating japan 2—1. we will see you tomorrow, bye—bye. hello there. the next couple of days are looking a little bit fresher, less humidity across the board, so pretty comfortable where you have the sunshine, but by the end of the week on certain friday into the start of the weekend, it will be turning sunnier and hotter with increasing humidity. potentially the hottest day of the year so far.

expected across southern areas on saturday. but in the short—term, we have high—pressure toppling in from the northwest, that‘s what‘s bringing us to finance settled weather for the next few days, but also the slightly cooler, drier air, which will arrive across scotland, and into parts of northern england through wednesday. best of the sunshine here. are rather a lot of cloud for england and wales, low clouds at the coastal areas, where here, it will be quite cool, mid—teens lcs at best, the best of the warmth in the southwest, 22—23d there. as we have through wednesday night, it looks like that cloud begins to thin and break with spells developing widely, with that slightly cooler and less humid air mass, it will be a cooler start to thursday, i think, mass, it will be a cooler start to thursday, ithink, a mass, it will be a cooler start to thursday, i think, a few spots across central and northern areas down into mid single digits, but still double figure values, perhaps the mid—teens across the south of the mid—teens across the south of the country. now as we head on into thursday, high—pressure with us, a lot of financial weather, squeezing and the isoba rs lot of financial weather, squeezing and the isobars across the south of

the country, that does mean we will pick upa the country, that does mean we will pick up a strong easterly wind here, particularly along the channel coasts, gusts of 30—40 mph, windy here, quite breezy across the north and the east, that northerly wind there making it feel quite cool. best of the sunshine and quite a bit to expect on thursday, will be across the southwest in south wales, where we could make 24 degrees. you probably heard of the blistering heat wave developing this week across parts of europe, i think the peak of it around thursday and friday, where we could see record—breaking temperatures for parts of france, and we will begin to tap into that heat again towards the end of the weekend into the start of the weekend. being drawn up onafairly start of the weekend. being drawn up on a fairly brisk south or south easterly wind, the humidity will pick up as well, it will feel quite uncomfortable at the start of the weekend. this is the picture for friday, plenty of sunshine around. this weather front trying to move m, this weather front trying to move in, but most places will be dry, lots of sunshine turning hotter across western areas, 28 degrees in the southwest, but still quite cool across eastern coastal areas. we do

lose that easterly breeze across the eastern areas. this weather front encroaching in to drop the temperature and chances of thunderstorms as we head on into saturday, mainly across the north of the uk. we still hold onto this hot southerly, with high humidity across much of england and wales, and this is where we will see the highest temperatures, potentially the low 30s in the southeast, that will make of the hottest day of the year so far, those temperatures will start coming down across the north and the west as we have through saturday night, and into sunday. our risk of heavy showers and thunderstorms here, perhaps a few cells, bit of uncertainty on that. again, the think the warmest rubber will be across the far southeast from the last of the heat there, before that cooler air starts to spread in from the west. that‘s how it‘s looking beyond next weekend into next week, we start seeing atlantic influences. plenty of showers around, than a big area of high pressure to build an across the uk to settle things down nicely. so into next week, it will be turning cooler, temperatures around the seasonal average, little

below for a time, there will be sunday spells around, but also some showers mainly across the north and west of the uk. that area of high—pressure tries to build income it looks like things will become dry with increasing sunshine.

the race to be the next prime minister gets personal asjeremy hunt tries to turn the spotlight on to personality. the foreign secretary says the next prime minister should be trustworthy, otherwise the uk risks a general election and no brexit. thejudgment is, who is the person we trust as prime minister to go to brussels and bring back that deal? it‘s about the personality of our prime minister. just don't have any more rows. no more rows, no, no, all quiet, all quiet. borisjohnson tries to put questions about his private life behind him as he challenges his rival to take the uk out of eu by halloween. it is clear the underdog jeremy hunt is not going to let borisjohnson run
