9:02 pm
visit a city like this but it's too hot. last night at the spanish steps it was 41 degrees, and it's way more and exhausting when you're trying to do all the sites. when we drove here it was 37 at eight o'clock in the morning, so it must be. but you're carrying on so that's impressive., yes. in france, officials are warnings about the risk to life. several cities have restricted traffic and some schools have closed. hugh schofield's in paris. if you're from a place, you know the best place to stay cool and you're not going to bother coming outside, but if you're a visitor at the different matter, if you're interested and you don't venture out into the heat, what's the point in being here? and most tourists were taking the temperature in their stride. seattle is rainy and 78, and it's 98 —ish so it's hot. stride. seattle is rainy and 78, and it's 98 -ish so it's hot. it's super hot, i need lots of wider. in
9:03 pm
france, memories are still robbed the 2003 heat wave in which thousands of elderly people died unnecessarily, today there are new procedures in place to make sure the elderly remain hydrated and cool. we've heard from paris, rome and catalonia — next rob cameron in prague. what do you do when the thermometer stories in the city, the priority for most checks is to reach the nearest available source of water, and in prod it's this river here, that's behind me. while it's baking today, it's nowhere near as hot as it was on wednesday when we sigh record—breaking june temperatures of 38.5 celsius. that isn't 101.3 38.5 celsius. that isn't101.3 fahrenheit. and while this temperature are hazardous for human health, sapphire, there have been never appointed any fatalities with the exception of death by drowning ofa the exception of death by drowning of a tourist who jumped off one of the pleasure boats in the river to escape the heat. so what is going on with these temperatures? here's simon king from bbc weather.
9:04 pm
meteorology when we look at the weather forecast, we always look to see whether air is coming from and that tells us about the heat coming here, let's look towards the sahara, and not make this time of year, the temperatures can get into the mid 405. now, the wind from the sahara is coming north, so it's pushing all the heat up through iberia and france and a price of the uk, so that's why we see these really high temperatures, conversely, and scandinavia the wind is coming from the arctic, 5aid temperatures are below average for this time of year, about 15 degrees in parts of year, about 15 degrees in parts of year, about 15 degrees impart5 no way. but over the next two days, we are going to see temperature records temple, the all—time temperature record in france will come and go with a high of 45 celsius expected even in the uk, temperatures here up to 34 celsius. if you want more on that, go to our weather app.
9:05 pm
in washington, republicans and democrats continue to argue over what funds are needed to deal with illegal migration on the border with mexico. around the world, people have been focused on the father and his daughterfrom el salvador who drowned while trying reach america by crossing the rio grande river. in a shocking image, oscar ramirez and his daughter valeria were shown face down in the water after they died on sunday. the two along with mr ramirez‘s wife left the bank of the river in matamoros in northern mexico. she managed to return to the shore on the mexican side. earlier the bbc asked her lawyer how she is coping. she's got not welcome i can't tell you she's gay because she's not, she's too young, and she is not i
9:06 pm
cannot describe her to you. —— good. recently, the number of mexicans crossing the border has fallen, while there are increasing numbers from guatemala, honduras and el salvador. but the photo of the father and daughter has prompted el salvador‘s government to warn people against risking their lives to reach the us. also mexican‘s president 0brador has also issued this statement. "people are losing their lives, in the desert or crossing the rio grande, we've always condemned it and we don't want it." donald trump says a tough stance is necessary to reduce numbers. his critics say its driving migrants to take more dangerous routes. the bbc spoke to this man trying to get to america. we are asking the president to understand we fight our country because it's becoming communist and we are politically prosecuted. chris buckler is in brownsville on the us border with mexico.
9:07 pm
chris before we talk about the broader issues, most of us don't know about brownsville tell us about how it's in the story. i'm sorry apologise could you repeat the question. that's all right, most of us question. that's all right, most of us don't know about brownsville, tell us how it fits in the story. it's right on the border with mexico and it's here, where a community that used to crossing the border live so often, you see behind me this is one of the bridges that pretty that people cross every day, but if you got to get excited, and you will find groups that my grandson sitting there, right on the edge of america. the other side of the rio grande where they cannot go further, they gather at that border but they have someone who will come to them and get through with assigned lump claim process but they sit in blazing heat here and many of them had been there for months, and they haven't managed to get to the american authorities and get the
9:08 pm
process under way. you can only imagine that frustration, especially for pa rents imagine that frustration, especially for parents who have these young children who are sitting there, and ijust children who are sitting there, and i just have to say, children who are sitting there, and ijust have to say, deceit is so strong for them that he makes it extremely difficult for them day after day. how is the depth and the loss of thy father and daughter affecting the conversations that are happening among the people trying to get across? you know, they gather along the river, the rio grande, which isjust along the river, the rio grande, which is just the opposite side of the american border and take can look across and see the barriers, but it's temptation for people to ta ke but it's temptation for people to take that risk. i spoke to people in the last 24 hours and basically said they wouldn't take the risk but they understood why some people would, but again they had been counselling in some cases of families who said
9:09 pm
they shouldn't do it and i spoke to they shouldn't do it and i spoke to the family he said he spoke to oscar and played with his daughter and his children have played with their daughter, and they said that they pleaded with him not to risk their lives but ultimately, there is this concern that you sit there and you don't get the chance to go to america and you don't get the chance to push for your asylum claim, and it's that pressure that we are seeing the frustration on both sides. both in terms of the american authorities saying they cannot deal with these numbers, but also the other side a bit for people just feel they are one of many and they are not being heard. chris, that's the human side of the story so let's look at the politics behind us now, democrats and the house of representatives approved a four and a half billion dollar humanitarian aid package for the southern border, but they say they have set strict rules saying it can't be used for immigration raids are expanding the border wall. that's the house of representatives, now the senate, if ever considering a rival bell with fewer restrictions on how border agencies can use this money, house
9:10 pm
speakerfrom agencies can use this money, house speaker from house of representatives nancy pelosi has been speaking about the tragedy of that father and daughter who were lost in the rio grande. can you just imagine the father put the little girl on sure to go back and get the mother and the little girl wanted to be with her father to get back in. and then he couldn't, they couldn't, he couldn't save her or himself. this is such a chatterjee, and i think, let's not it's not a question of blame, let's understand the consequences of policy here. i'm sure no one who had to do a policy it would say i don't care something like this happens, but it does happen and i visited the border so many times over the years, and i and ijust and many times over the years, and i and i just and the many times over the years, and i and ijust and the receiver, the rio grande has personality, it's not just some river that use of the ci’oss. just some river that use of the cross. it has its moments. chris coming back to you on a ship money,
9:11 pm
how badly needed are those findings whatever that restriction is coming with them, for the personnel on the side of the border. incredibly so, what we've seen in washington is essentially despite between democrats and republicans, do republicans love the opportunity to ensure that they can spend money in whatever way they see fit and that of christ is security democrats want to focus clearly on humanitarian aid, and it goes beyond the sitting on the other side of the border, it also goes into the facilities where children and others are being cared for, and there are reports coming out, and another one is expected next week, which i have been very critical about the caregiving there, and the conditions in which people are being held. but we have seen today from nancy pelosi is she is going to accept the republican version of the bill that went to the
9:12 pm
republican—controlled senate, rather than pushing for the democrats controlled house of representatives bill, which is a it would reject, but she says she's backing down because these billions of dollars is urgently needed and as far she's concerned for my children have to come first and perhaps that shows the impact of that picture of oscar ramirez and his daughter malaria lying in the wider, it's again on that politician mines, but not on squabbles behind the bill at the problem and help the families out. thank you very much indeed, chris talking about politics on the plane of the of what's happening at the border. last night we saw 10 democratic candidates for the us presidency in a live tv debate. tonight we see some more including joe biden and bernie sanders. and of the ten we've heard from, senator elizabeth warren was the highest profile. here are some of them on healthcare.
9:13 pm
i understand there are a lot of politicians who say oh its just not possible we cannot do it, just like the political reasons for it, but what they are really telling you is that they will not fight for it, health care is a basic human right. and i will fight for a basic human right. i think the choices is fundamental to... right. i think the choices is fundamental to. .. private insurance is not working for thousands of americans when you talk about premium out—of— pocket expenses americans when you talk about premium out—of—pocket expenses and whatnot it's not working how can you fix a system not working? they can choose medicare... you have to start by acknowledging... they're able to keep in. the conversation turned to gun control too. the single hardest question i've gotten the single hardest question i've gotte n less the single hardest question i've gotten less from a little boy and girl, and back is to say when you're president, how will you keep us
9:14 pm
safe. that's our responsibility as adults, seven children will die today from gun violence, children and teenagers. i want to save my colleague and i have been hearing this on the campaign trail, but what's worse is i hear gunshots in my neighbourhood. i think i'm the only one and i hope i am that had seven people shot in the neighbourhood just last week. someone i know was killed with an assault rifle at the top of my blood la st assault rifle at the top of my blood last year and for millions of americans it's not a policy issue, this is an urgency and does not directly affected, are tired of living in a country where the kids go to school about to learn about reading writing arithmetic and how to deal with active shooters in schools. the issue of illegal immigants coming across the us mexico border is certain to feature in this campaign — president trump will make sure of it. an it came up last night.
9:15 pm
you're looking atjust you're looking at just one you're looking atjust one smart apart —— small part, i'm talking about a comprehensive rewrite at the immigration life and if we do that, that's not i'm talking about millions of folks, a lot of folks coming who are not seeking asylum but many of them are dumb —— undocumented, but... if you do your homework on the issue... one more clip to show — because as much as this election will be about issue, it'll also be about one man. this president is literally every single day ten minutes away from going to war, one tweet away from going to war, one tweet away from going to warand going to war, one tweet away from going to war and i don't think we should conduct foreign policy and oui’ should conduct foreign policy and our bathrobe at five in the morning. the biggest threat to the security of the united states is donald trump. jane o'brien. his covering both debates, i guess
9:16 pm
it was inevitable it was messy there at ten of them on stage, it was difficult to get through, but pleading performed well?|j difficult to get through, but pleading performed well? i think elizabeth warren drove the debate and is driving the democratic pa rty‘s and is driving the democratic party's whole and is driving the democratic pa rty‘s whole campaign and is driving the democratic party's whole campaign so far, and is pushing the party increasingly to the max, she came out with one policy initiative after another, or catchphrases i have a plan for that, as she tried out a lot of them last night. she performed very well and kept the momentum going. also, julian castro the hurried debating immigration him we got the better off with the beta aurora, shows division within the democratic party on how to tackle this
9:17 pm
incredibly public in a problem, all candidates are united on the fact that they need to get rid of donald trump at exactly how they do that and particularly, how they got to head to had with him on immigration when you get down to details, if a little bit difficult. that's where we see the divergence of opinion and disagreements, so i think we can expect more of the same tonight, but with added attraction but we now have all the front runners on stage, joe biden, bernie sanders, kemal harris, and the youngest candidate, pete. we talk about them in any you're referencing the president who is watching last night and he gave a one word verdict on it. he's now injapan for the 620 summit, so may miss tonight's debate, which starts in a few hours. someone may give them the klepto. two of the major contenders in tonight's panel are former vice presidentjoe biden, he's the frontrunner in the polls. and the more liberal candidate, bernie sanders, curerently polling second. for people coming to this fresh, what are primary differences between the two in terms of belief in policy? i think simply playing it,
9:18 pm
joe biden represents the centre, he represents the safe pair of pants, somebody who can apply a course corrected to the present —— presidency of donald trump. he believes like some of the other centrist candidates that you can build on what you've got to improve american lives. bernie sanders on the other hand is far more left of the other hand is far more left of the field. and he believes there are structural flaws within the economy and within the system of government. and you need to blow the whole lot up and you need to blow the whole lot up effectively in order to make a real difference to america. so it comes down to whether or not you think you can work with what you've got it or whether the problems are so got it or whether the problems are so deeply ingrained you need to change everything up completely, so would bernie sanders he probably get more change, with joe would bernie sanders he probably get more change, withjoe biden you probably get something that looks a little bit more like perhaps the obama presidency and for some people but the good thing and for lots of many others that's not. when does it
9:19 pm
start, jane? in a few hours, i will be there and staying up most of the night, and i will bring you all the details and highs and lows in who winds and ultimately who may lose. we rely on you, thank you for that and the coverage is on bbc wellness. inafew and the coverage is on bbc wellness. in a few minutes we will hear about exciting scientific development. cervical cancer could come close to being eradicated thanks to an hpv vaccine has been proven highly effective in the past two years, we will tell you how. the next generation of the vauxhall astra will be built at ellesmere port if a satisfactory brexit deal is agreed. that's according to its owners — the psa group — who say the move is conditional on the final terms of the uk's exit from the european union. here's colletta smith.
9:20 pm
it's the lifeblood of this place, it's one of the uk's must populate family cars built here at this point the place has been open for nearly 50 yea rs, the place has been open for nearly 50 years, so for more than 1000 workers this evening, it's a sigh of relief as they realise their futures are more secure 110w and relief as they realise their futures are more secure now and is certainly are more secure now and is certainly a very different to do the one being signed by like a big car manufacturers in the uk at the moment. we heard recently from florida, honda, jaguar land rover nissan all saying they are cutting production lines and cutting workers and uk, but it comes at the big if though, because if box elder is saying today they are effectively visiting rights to change their mind if there is a note to brexit. this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. our lead story is... parts of europe are experiencing an extreme heatwave — and forest fires have broken out in spain.
9:21 pm
there's hope that cervical cancer could come close to being eradicated. this is the medical journal the lancet — it details the impact of a vaccine that's been used on 60 million women in 14 countries. in the 8 years since it was introduced, among 20—24 year olds, there's been a drop of 66% in hp virus infection which is the primary cause of cervical cancer. among 15—19 year olds, th edrop was 83%. also cases of of pre—cancerous growths was down almost a third in young women — and almost halved in teenage girls. here's lauren moss with more. this piece of research has been the largest of its kind found that there are big reductions and to high—risk strains of the hpv virus causing 70%
9:22 pm
of cervical cancer and there was also a reduction in genital warts and precancerous growths not only among women who had the vaccine in the last ten years but also when and who and —— and men who had not had something called the hurried effect, where those who had not been vaccinated against the elders are benefiting from those who haven't, but that only works if there is a large take—up of the vaccination over a wider population and across age groups. these findings are hugely significant, cervical cancer kills more than 300,000 women worldwide every year. as for com plete worldwide every year. as for complete eradication, we have to be a little bit careful here because a world worth it has helped organise organisations that if we continue with the current intervention methods it's unlikely that rates will be completely at zero level. that said though, this research that showed the rates will be significantly reduced in the near future. like the next ten or 20 yea rs future. like the next ten or 20 years or so. future. like the next ten or 20 years or so. charities and survivors i spoke to today say that will only happen if there desert continued
9:23 pm
take—up of the hpv vaccine and a desert continued take—up of the hpv vaccine and if women continue to have a pap smear test, that screening for women between 25 and up screening for women between 25 and up is as important now even with this research as it's always been. we will continue to tackle cervical cancer rates worldwide. quick update on the world cup, england against no 83-0, on the world cup, england against no 83—0, so unless something strange happens in the next two minutes, they will go through to the side of they will go through to the side of the semi. there are more problems for boeing's 737 max. its grounded at the moment — and us regulators have identified what they call a ‘new risk‘. samira in new york. samira hussain now joins us from new york. what is it? this new risk was discovered when the pilots were delaying simulations, so they went exactly in the air but as it stands right now, reports suggest the faa would not feel confident taking
9:24 pm
these planes in the current form up in the airforany these planes in the current form up in the airfor any testing, so these planes in the current form up in the air for any testing, so it's back to the drawing board for belling to try and mitigate the kind of risk that they have found. while this is bad news for boeing, it could be seen as a of confidence by the blind public for the faa, remember, the faa is the regulator, and they were under quite a lot of scrutiny because it was seen as if they were to close and didn't have enough tabs on the company, before for these max jets were allowed to fly. the fact that the faa were the ones to really find this could lead itself to regain some of the reputational advantage that it may have suffered in the last several months. i suppose a lot of viewers will be thinking has boeing identified will cause a crisis and fixed it. exactly, but ultimately what's going to be the biggest question and from their perspective,
9:25 pm
they are still waiting for the results of all of the various investigations by different countries and regulators around a while, so they won't say too much about that, right now the focus of course for airlines is when these planes can get back up in the air as of right now, any sort of timeline people man had has not further been delayed because of this requirement foran delayed because of this requirement for an additional six. thank you very much indeed. the first of the quarter final matches of the women's world cup football is underway in northern france tonight with england taking on norway. at the moment the score is 2—0 to england.on friday another key quarter final match will be played between the favourites — you can get interviews the coaches and players via the bbc sport
9:26 pm
website, i will see for more outside source website, i will see for more outside source in a few minutes. hello there, whether stories across the globe are focusing on either extreme heat or extreme rainfall at the moment. we are going to start off with rainfall, all tying into the southwest monsoon and the satellite picture showing where the rain clouds sitting across northeast states of indiana, red warnings have been enforced for the last two days for west bengal in particular and also into a psalm. that rain is starting to move further east into myanmar, and we are also seeing heavy rain continuing to track its way slowly north affecting rajasthan and western fringes of good drought and into the weekend, eastern parts of india will see the weather weather as well. so looks like it stays pretty wet through mum by for the next five days by contrast, islamabad has blue skies and sunshine into the 405. for central asia, it's
9:27 pm
a quieter theme here, but warming upjust a little bit seeing highs of 40 degrees. staying with the heat, extreme heat likely to be the future across the middle east for the next few days, there is a light breeze but nothing significant enough to produce a list of dust and it's coming from england and back seat is building reality, you see warm rice it's starting to build across iraq and kuwait in particular where we may see record—breaking seat in the next few days, temperatures widely into the mid 405, we could see that higher still and some of that heat will push its way suddenly east into the weekend towards the northern parts of iran. it's certainly something to keep a close eye on. staying with the theme of heat, we have seen record—breaking heat across central europe so far this week, slight respect into eastern and central europe thursday into friday, but the seat is set to return into the weekend and i will explain why. it's all originating
9:28 pm
from the sahara, so that heat is pushing out with a light southern breeze moving its way across the mediterranean, we see north spain with temperatures in the mid 405 going across france, but going to the top it's been slightly cooler than it should be for this time of year for scandinavia, and it's this cool air that's filtering down into places like the czech republic and poland and germany where we sigh record—breaking heat on wednesday, however as we move into the weekend, that high—pressure ships further east and temperatures are set to build once again, so widely we see 40 degrees plus and many places. but things do look as though they will quiet down and closed down a little as they go into next week and i'm sure for many that's going to come as welcome news. in terms of the uk, we could be hiding for the hottest day of the year so far on saturday, hot and humid with a bit fresher air as the wind
9:30 pm
hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source. large parts of europe are experiencing a heatwave. france, italy and switzerland all expecting temperatures above 40 degrees centigrade, and there have been forest fires in spain. the conservative leadership candidates have been taking questions from party members — they're not anwering journalists' questions tonight — so we'll be examining their policies there are questions over the health of german chancellor angela merkel after she's seen shaking for the second time in two weeks and we'll keep you up to date with england vs norway — who are in the second half of their women's world cup quarterfinal. right now it's england three, norway nil
9:31 pm
jeremy hunt and borisjohnson had been fielding questions from conservative party members. remember it's those members not the public who will select the next prime minister. here's what the two of them said on brexit. there are three things that we need to do in the first of them is what? we need to get brexit done, get brexit done, to get brexit over the line by october the 31st and come out of the year. that is what we are going to do. i think anybody... anybody, who anybody who proposes any further delay is simply going to end up eroding trust in politics, eroding people's confidence in our democratic institutions and further weakening our great conservative party.
9:32 pm
we've had a lot of discussion in these brexit debates about how, but not enough discussion about who. who is the prime minister we trust to go to brussels and sort this out. and if you choose me, i will be the first prime minister who has a background as an entrepreneur, and who you are a set of their business, just put up your head if you have set up your own business. that is the conservative party. the party of business and what do we do? entrepreneurs, we negotiate. this is the latest assement of uk bookmakers. borisjohnson has an 84% chance of winning they say. that speak to nick from westminster. you sell it they said this evening. is there anything new i would ask?
9:33 pm
the odds, boris johnson is there anything new i would ask? the odds, borisjohnson reckons that the odds of a new deal brexit are a million to one. which i have got to say seems pretty generous to me. two to one. basically making the case that he can get a better deal. what is interesting is that he was pushed on the idea would he suspend parliament if he had to get it through. it has been really controversial but floated by some ha rd controversial but floated by some hard brexiteers in the conservative party. he says he doesn't envisage doing that, he does not want to do that, he didn't quite roll it out andi that, he didn't quite roll it out and i suspect there will be some conservatives in parliament who's alarm bells will start ringing as a result. we know thatjeremy hunt wouldn't do that, he says he is prepared to wait a bit longer than the 31st of october if need be. if
9:34 pm
there is no new deal on the horizon, he would be prepared to leave at the end of october without a deal and then but he said tonight is that if he cannot deliver on his promises of delivering brexit, then he will resign. let's look at what else they have been saying in terms of spending. both candidates have promised to spend. jeremy hunt has pledged to spend £15 billion on defence. and reduce corporate tax and reduce the number of people that have to pay national insurance, that's money that goes into a state pension and some welfare payments. the insitute for fiscal studies say jeremy hunt's policies will cost between £37—65bn. remember, as health secretaryjeremy hunt tried to cut £22bn out of the nhs budget, which he called efficiency savings. borisjohnson has pledged to move the higher rate of tax from £50k to £80k, he's also said he'll reduce the amount of people
9:35 pm
who pay national insurance, but won't say how many, plus he'll hire another 20k police officers and run fibre optic broadband throughout the country. the ifs say his policies will cost ‘many billions of pounds‘ the higher tax rate alone would cost £9bn, and would benefit the wealthy most. and that‘s after years of austerity, cutting public services to reduce government spending. all promoted by the party they would like to lead. this adds to quite a shift in tory policy. there is a lwa ys shift in tory policy. there is always a temptation to make big board promises when you want the top job, they are making the point for both of them actually in their analysis over the past couple of days that both of them are making big promises that are going to cost a lot of money. jeremy hunt‘s plan
9:36 pm
to reduce corporation tax would charge the economy and the iss are saying it could exacerbate public spending. they‘re just talking about to reduce the amount of money that you have to earn before paying the higher rate of income tax, taking off £30,000 was up again, he says that would be good for people on decent but not huge earning jobs. the ifs say that it is not clear that the be clear of ending austerity public services. and the fa ct austerity public services. and the fact that boris johnson says actually, that tax cut would just be pa rt actually, that tax cut would just be part of a package and that there is more unspecified tax cuts to come for people for lower earners, you can see the feel of this conservative leadership election just racking up.
9:37 pm
the labour party is at the centre of an anti—semitism row again. this mp, chris williamson, has been allowed back into the party after being suspended for saying labour was giving too much ground over allegations of anti—semitism in the party. now 118 labour mps have signed a letter of complaint that he‘s been let back in. one of them is the deputy leader. i would not normally do this. but this is so important. the upset and anger so great that i think we need to act very swiftly to reassure people that we take anti—semitism really serious and the party. the level of breakdown in discipline among the labour leader in the later deputy leader. that is one element of the story. there are a lot of people in the labour party that are really unhappy with jeremy corbyn and increasing the feeling and board and increasing the feeling and board and to say it in public. but the
9:38 pm
second element is how may times of the here and talked about allegations or claims or issues of anti—semitism in the labour party. many of our viewers are saying, having heard the story before. the decision to let chris williamson backend has provoked absolute fury. the fact that 100 ten mcglashan 18 have decided to issue the statements of publicly and we want you to solve thisjeremy corbyn, the sub you now, the labour leader to remove this from this man. for his part, jeremy corbyn is saying this was not my decision, the decision of an independent panel made by three people in the party. really interesting that one of the people on that party is an mp as well, that he did not think it should go any further, he is now saying that they need to look at it again.
9:39 pm
indonesia, president widodo has had his recent election win upheld by the country‘s top court. the election was in april — and it was the biggest, most complex one—day election in the world. and it got complicated afterwards too. last month the result gave joko widodo ovcer 55% and his rival prabowo subianto just under 45. that didn‘t go down well. these pictures show tens of thousands of opposition supporters out on the streets — some of the protests turned violent. claims of the flow being rigged. prabowo subianto then claimed there was vote rigging and he took it to court. today, this panel of judges dismissed his allegations. and sojoko widodo will serve another five years. for his part, prabowo subianto says here‘s rebecca henschke.

it was after nine hours of this court ruling that eventually it was decided that this brings twin and very difficult election for indonesia that brought up some of the worst political violence in yea rs the worst political violence in years and raised a lot of questions about the role of religion in this country as well as identity politics which really saw families torn apart in social media politics and president widodo showing a sense of relief that this is over and sang out that the country needs to be pulled together and heal some of those wounds. they seem to be yes, today we saw the demonstrations, the heated demonstrations of his saw in the past did not happen today, people were happy to accept this but there is issues that have been
9:41 pm
raised that will be much more difficult to point out, this idea of islam as a political force in indonesia is not going to go away and president widodo is going to bring hard to bring them back into the forward and show them that he is a leaderfor everyone. the forward and show them that he is a leader for everyone. and definitely we can look forward to another five years of president widodo. she is quite a boring politician in the way that he does wa nt to politician in the way that he does want to focus on the economy and infrastructure. he is developing a lot of the areas in the east of indonesia, tourism is one of his big pushis indonesia, tourism is one of his big push is to make them in indonesia which have beautiful areas in the east of the country and he is really looking to do a lot of deals with china, investments into the country and the issue of contention that he is going to have to look at. but i think this is the election showing him that he cannotjust be an economic builder of the country, he has to deal with human rights issues
9:42 pm
and following the demonstrations a lot of questions have been raised on how the police reacted and how they came out this week and saw those human rights human violations carried out and that‘s one thing that he has failed at dealing with and he may surprise us and deal with that in these last five years. last five minutes between england versus norway. we will keep you updated on that in the next few minutes. kylie minogue will be one of the star acts at glastonbury this weekend — and it‘s likely to be emotional. 14 years ago, the pop star had to cancel a headline slot at the festival after she was diagnosed with breast cancer. i‘ve got your palace, i‘ve got your throne. princess of pop, what also they get? and all of this is a big

two important stories in tunisia. first — there have been two suicide bomb attacks on security forces in tunisia. both happened in the capital, tunis. a police officer was killed, several others were wounded. the first attack targeted a police patrol on main street near the old city. the second was at the gates of a national guard base. no—one‘s claimed responsibility. the prime minister spoke from the scenes. translation: it is evident that terrorism and terrorists in tunisia are in a state of despair after the security successes of large military operations have been achieved over the last years. this operation is intended to confuse tunisians, the tunisian economy, the democratic transition all while we are in the tourism season in a few months before the elections.
9:46 pm
in the last hour we‘ve had this from our colleagues at bbc monitoring. the second story from tunisia is that president essebsi is seriously ill. and rumours were flying earlier. jared malsin, wall street journal we do know that the president who is 92 was hospitalized after what we‘re told was an acute malaise. the tunisian prime minister posted on facebook that he visited the president who was was stable. he also urged people: "not to spread fake news". president essebsi is a hugley important figure — he won tunisia‘s first free
9:47 pm
elections in 2014. earlier this year, mr essebsi announced he would not stand for election in november, saying someone younger should take charge. within hours, and drama of a com pletely within hours, and drama of a completely different kind. a 92—year—old president being taken to a military hospital and to need zia and the presidency saying that he was an a severe health crisis and is the admiral went by, the adviser tried to calm the situation talking to his condition about being stable, the prime minister came out and said that he was getting on the help he needed and urged people not to spread fake news and they have been reports of his death, but at the moment this is where we are. the president is ill but is undergoing tests a nd
9:48 pm
president is ill but is undergoing tests and is supposed to be stable and we are just months away and there should be a presidential election. almost exactly three years ago in russia, 14 children died when their boat was caught in a storm. it happened here on lake sya—mozero in north—west russia. the children were on a summer camp from moscow. two former managers of the camp are alrady serving jail terms, but today the parents found out that two other officials will face a re—trial. evidence uncovered by the bbc‘s russia service suggests that prior to the trip, organisers ignored severe storm warnings by emergency services, and dismissed children‘s pleas to halt the trip. yulia james from our russian service has been speaking to the one of the families whose child died. yulia has been telling me more
9:49 pm
about what happened in court. so, tell us what we heard in court today, please. very emotional scenes, there were testimonies from mothers, of children who died in the camp and they were trying to explain to judges why they think the two officials who were responsible for checking the camp should go back and re—tried. they were not happy with their acquittals and miraculously, they were happy to hear the verdict that yes, the case is going to be re—tried and coming back to court with a differentjudge this time. which means quite soon or a long time we might go through all of this again? we will go through all of this again with the two officials but their families are really excited, they were not expecting this ruling, they were kind of in the backs of their minds, preparing for. the backs of their minds, preparing for, no. the fact that this happened is already really exciting. how has been covered in the russian media? in russia, at the beginning of this
9:50 pm
when it just happened, there were a lot of shouting headlines in a lot of media coverage. but the problem with that is that it rarely goes deeper into the reasons behind institutional problems maybe. so there was a lot of that at the beginning and as the court, as the case went to court, we didn‘t hear much about what was going on in there and bbc russian picked up and did their own investigation and we found this massive trail dating back from a year before the tragedy and the mum or the girl the tragedy and the mum of the girl who was staying in the campus was writing letters of complaints to the authorities who organised the trip that was saying that the boat were leaking, the conditions were awful and the security was not up to scratch. and when she got a reply from moscow government saying no, we checked the camp everything is fine, she started writing to other government bodies in russia
9:51 pm
who are relevant and they started carrying out their checks and telling the moscow government that look, we found these violations, they are very important. despite all of this, they still got a contract the next year from the city. some concern about angela merkel‘s health. not for the first time, her arms began shaking. this was at an event in berlin. she was listening to a speech by the german president — and can see her gripping her arms to steady herself. she was offered a glass of water but declined. and after a few minutes, the issue appeared to go away. now mrs merkel will still go the g20 summit injapan at the end of the week. her spokesperson says: today‘s issue has got a lot of attention because this happened last week. angela merkel was welcoming the new ukrainian president and again she began to tremble. in this case, she was standing in the berlin sunshine and afterewards said it was dehydration had been the problem.
9:52 pm
here‘sjenny hill. mrs merkel always appears to be in robust health, she has a punishing schedule, she is seen as a strong leader who can deal with that and so this has come as a shock. and of course the fact that it has happened now twice is really adding to those concerns. there hasn‘t yet been no explanation of what‘s wrong, there hasn‘t yet been an explanation of what‘s wrong, i would be surprised if we actually don‘t really get one. i think mrs merkel‘s team would be really keen to try to push this away and sweep it under the carpet. mrs merkel and her team will not want to be adding to any sense of insecurity at this point in time. the first of the quarter final matches of the women‘s world cup football is underway in northern france tonight with england taking on norway. at the moment the score is 3—0 to england. on friday another key quarter final match will be played between the favourites —
9:53 pm
let‘s speak to lizzie greenwood—hughes at the bbc‘s sports centre in salford. to watch a match what we are not biting my nails and england were co mforta ble biting my nails and england were comfortable and they could‘ve won this 7-0, comfortable and they could‘ve won this 7—0, they hit the bar, they had a ball over, they had a penalty save but it was 3—0. jill scott, she opened up after two minutes which is pretty good for the england fans watching and they kind of miss kicked it, missed the ball basically so kicked it, missed the ball basically so she was very relieved whenjill scott put it in, scoring a goal to become thejoint top scott put it in, scoring a goal to become the joint top score of the tea m become the joint top score of the team and outputted after half—time and then they scored an absolute world around the second half, and they‘ll either play the usa required they‘ll either play the usa required the defending champions or france, their quarterfinal is tomorrow in paris, so they will be quite a different team for england to play but for now, england is in the last
9:54 pm
four. and that mouthwatering title, i know the us working brilliant and they‘ll still be favourites, will that be right? yes, but neither of those teams played particularly well in the last match for the usa, you would imagine would be the favourites to go through and that will be very difficult for england, they say they do not want to change they say they do not want to change the way the team plays but this how the way the team plays but this how the team plays and they were really good today and the net that was so impressive was the last match, very stressful for them and showed great mental strength tonight. lovely to talk, those of you watching on the bbc news channel, he could see the highlights on the bbc sport. where you are watching, you can get full analysis on all of the games from the women‘s road cup fire the bbc sport website. and the lead story is the heat wave that is happening all across europe and set to intensify

to get plenty more on the bbc weather. hello there. the intense heat wave is set to continue across western and southern europe. temperature records have been toppling. we will not see that intense heat here in the uk, but it will get very warm for a time on friday in the west and saturday. all of this heat is coming from the sahara desert which at this time of year, sees temperatures into the mid 405 and left a couple that with the fact that the sun is as high in the sky as it gets in the northern hemisphere that is the reason why we northern hemisphere that is the reason why we are northern hemisphere that is the reason why we are seeing these extreme temperatures. these records being broken up with such warm air and as! being broken up with such warm air and as i say, it will affect some western areas of the uk during the day on friday, we could be pushing towards the highlands, but not further east because the sun must work its magic, get rental low cloud
9:56 pm
and use some of its energy up but thenit and use some of its energy up but then it is strong sunshine at this time of yearand then it is strong sunshine at this time of year and that is no surprise. it is as high as it gets with the sun in the sky and it will be strong, very strong indeed. given that we have that brisk wind blowing and gusting wind, not the strongest thursday but still masking the effect of that, made feel fresher than normal expected so do be aware if you are out and about, a real contrast from the east of scotland to the west, 15 or 16, the high 205 in the highlands and that‘s because of the low cloud in the onshore breeze and they will retreat a little bit and nessie pick up more cloud from the west, after that intense heat, changes afoot. as he picked up more cloud and also increasing the humidity that will start to feel more uncomfortable for sleeping. the peak of the heat in the uk comes on saturday where we will see the intense red here and nudging across the channel and southeast of england, will see 34 degrees but at the same time, we are
9:57 pm
already breaking down that he further west with showers, even some thunderstorms as well, so be quite a contrast in temperature the high 205, we‘ll look at the high 205 for most year and instead we start to pick up the temperatures further east. quite a lot warmer particularly across england to better friday was some parts pushing towards 33 or 34 degrees. so we turned the tables i‘m wary of the heat by saturday. by sunday, because at this weather friend here this cold weather friend here at this weather friend here this cold weatherfriend here by at this weather friend here this cold weather friend here by the nature producing cooler air coming in off the atlantic with westerly winds and showers, so looks more u nsettled winds and showers, so looks more unsettled and a bit of a wash—out, but we could see shower after shower and that fresh westerly breeze so if you do not like the heat, do bear what does it is a temporary spell of hot, and he become more comfortable for sleepiness of a temptress coming back down to where they should be for this time of year. the reason is low— pressure for this time of year. the reason is low—pressure and at low pressures of
