with temperatures soaring across southern england. a top temperature of 3a degrees celsius is recorded in heathrow. and pakistan avoid a shock defeat to afghanistan at the cricket world cup, but onlyjust. more on that and the rest of the day's sport in sportsday at 6:30. good afternoon. the united states and china have agreed to resume talks to ease the trade war between the world's two largest economies. us president donald trump and china's president shejinping reached the agreement at the g20 summit injapan. mr trump also said american companies can once again sell products to the chinese tech giant hwah—way, after an effective ban on such sales was introduced in may. from 0saka, nick bryant sent this report.

this was the day when the g20 summit of the world's wealthiest nations essentially became a g2. these talks between donald trump and xijinping, by far the most this was the day when the g20 summit of the world's wealthiest nations essentially became a g2. these talks between donald trump and xijinping, by far the most consequential meeting of this global gathering. it ended with a ceasefire in the trade war, an agreement to restart talks that fell apart last month. but the us president made a major concession, lifting some restrictions on huawei, the chinese tech giant at the centre of what's felt like a commercial cold war. we had a very good meeting with president xi of china. excellent, i would say excellent. as good as it was going to be. we discussed a lot of things, and we are right back on track. the other headline of the day, mr trump's impromptu invitation to kim jong—un, via twitter, to meet him tomorrow at the demilitarised zone separating north and south korea. we won't call it a summit,

we'll call it a handshake. if it does happen. i don't know that it will. but it could happen. i don't know, i think he'd like to do it, and i wouldn't mind doing it at all. i'm literally visiting the dmz. in another face—to—face with another autocratic leader, the saudi crown prince, mohammed bin salman, mr trump could hardly have been more complementary. thank you, on behalf of a lot of people. and i want to congratulate you. you've done a really spectacularjob. and he ignored questions about the murder of the saudi journalist jamal khasshoggi — which us intelligence believes was ordered by the crown prince. reporter: mr president, will you address the murder of jamal khashoggi, sir? uh... thank you very much. this summit has highlighted a stark global divide between advocates of the post—war liberal order and nationalists, such as vladimir putin, who's described it as obsolete. it's getting harder to tell which side the united states is on. from joking with vladimir putin about russia meddling in next year's us presidential election to his cosiness with the saudi crown prince, donald trump has arguably shown more

admiration here for authoritarian leaders than america's traditional allies. he arrived tonight in seoul for a preplanned dinner with south korea's president. but will he get his date at the dmz with his friend from the totalitarian north? nick bryant, bbc news, 0saka. theresa may has urged world leaders to follow the uk's target and eliminate greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, as donald trump was again left isolated on the issue. speaking to journalists at the end of the g20 summit, mrs may said it was up to her successor to deliver an orderly deal for britain to leave the european union. here's our deputy political editor, john pienaar. nothing sentimental about theresa may's last day at her last global summit. she met leaders often attacked over human rights — briefed saudi's prince mohammed bin salman on a court case that halted

british arms sales, and met turkey's president erdogan, too. critics would rather britain kept its distance. the uk is trying to reshape old relationships, and it's not easy. brexit wasn't on the agenda when mrs may met european leaders. she still seemed, somehow, out of place, no longer part of the in crowd. so where does britain sit in the world? i continue to believe that we are stronger when we work together. the uk has never been afraid to stand up for the global rules that underpin our values and our way of life. how important is leaving the european union with a good deal to britain's future as a global player? i've always said that i think it's best for the united kingdom for us to leave in an orderly way, and that means leaving with a good deal. i believe that we negotiated a good deal, but parliament has not come to a majority supporting that deal, and it would be up to my successor to find a way of delivering. i believe that conservative party members, as with the majority of the public in the united kingdom,

want us to deliver on brexit. i believe they want us to deliver not just what that means in terms of leaving the eu, but the brighter future that we believe the uk can have outside of the european union. that's what i was working on, it is what my successor will work on. by the end of the month, mrs may's successor will have taken her place on the stage. but for the next leader, the challenge of managing the british economy, maintaining britain's place in the world and wrestling with the defining problem of brexit will be no easier than it is now, and may be much harder. john pienaar, bbc news, 0saka. back in the uk, the race to find mrs may's successor continues with two hustings taking place today. jeremy hunt and borisjohnson have been in carlisle, taking questions from local party members — but will soon face another audience in manchester. 0ur political reporter

claire hamilton is where the second hustings is taking place. borisjohnsonjust borisjohnson just getting into the building behind you, you spared the helicopter overhead. absolutely, borisjohnsonjust got helicopter overhead. absolutely, borisjohnson just got out of the carand borisjohnson just got out of the car and walked into the venue i had at the hustings which is going to start at seven o'clock, and actually people were queuing up at five o'clock to get into the building which is such the excitement here from conservative members and the northwest. jeremy hunt we are expecting soon he's been in manchester this afternoon talking to members following the hustings this morning that took place and carlisle, and morning that took place and ca rlisle, and there morning that took place and carlisle, and there is a big sense of excitement here. early in the week i spoke to some local conservative members in the northwest, who are hunting and harbouring about whether they come oi’ harbouring about whether they come or not but as days have gone on they've been phoning say they will come tonight because they change their mind because i thought it'll bea their mind because i thought it'll be a discussion worth hearing. and i think maybe and that is people who

thought that boris johnson was think maybe and that is people who thought that borisjohnson was a dead site and at last few days thought maybe jeremy dead site and at last few days thought maybejeremy hunt may have something more to say or more to campaign buti something more to say or more to campaign but i think it's also a sense of being part of something, being part of making this huge decision at this absolutely critical time in british. first-time conservative party members have had a chance to choose not to supply a with that —— leader but especially the prime minister, so what about the prime minister, so what about the regional aspect of this, what's the regional aspect of this, what's the conservative presence in the northwest because many people will be aware ofjust the kind of great conservative history of the northwest of england and a city like manchester, but the fact now that antidepressant urban north, the presence is much diminished. gas, and that's that keeps but i think in the northwest, the number of mps which are about 70 in the northwest, 50 of them are around labour party

members and the rest are conservative with one liberal democrat, so you can see by looking at the numbers at the very labour dominated area and the cities of liverpool of manchester are very labour dominated, but if you go out to the countryside and the shires especially like chester, you see the conservatives have a much bigger presence and there is a lot more issues in those areas and a lot markets evidence support and those areas and obviously counsellors and counsellors as well, so whilst it might be that there isn't a huge amount of support in the big cities for the conservatives, there is and some of the other parts of the northwest. clair hamilton dare at the manchester central convention centre. can you still hear me or have we lost you i think he probably lost it because it's quite difficult there with the wind catching the earpiece. we will talk to claire a

little bit later in the evening, thank you very much. jeremy corbyn has said he's shocked by reports that senior civil servants have questioned his mental and physical health. he was responding to an article in the times newspaper, which said senior figures in whitehall were concerned that he was too frail to serve as prime minister. and he raised concerns over the neutrality of the civil service. i think it's nonsense that they have written this, and i think it diminishes of what was once a great newspaper at the front page should be full until title from civil serva nts be full until title from civil servants and those who don't know me or don't understand me. i am a very fit and very healthy and very active person. i love what i do and i love my community and i love being outdoors. the idea that civil serva nts outdoors. the idea that civil servants should be briefing this paper is against an elected politician, against a prospective

government is something that should be very concerning to a lot of people, civil service has to be independent, has to be nonpolitical and has to be nonjudgmental. at the politicians that they have a duty to serve in the future. and i would make that very clear to them all, if we are elected to government, we will come in with a very prayer —— clear programme of things we want to do in the country, the housing for education and health and environment, so many things. we will explain those to our colleagues in the civil service and expect them to carry out this policy. that is the way it is democracy must work. it's been the hottest day of the year so far in the uk, with the highest temperature being recorded at heathrow in west london, where it hit 3a degrees. despite the heat, temperatures haven't quite reached thejune record set back in 1976 which was almost two degrees higher at 35 point six. higher at 35.6.

0ur correspondent michael cowan is in southend on sea. yes, we have been here all day where it's been an absolute scorcher, you can see behind me at five o'clock, at the beach is still absolutely packed, the tigers got out the people i still swimming all day to deal with the heat and temperature have topped out at about 30 degrees, we spoke to locals about how are dealing with the heat —— heat. keeping cool is not using the mercury rises, the sea helps, as does the breeze. we are in stop and on see, but is quintessentially british fish and chips, locals say it's the busiest they'd seen the resort. but on the hottest day of the year sapphire, how are people here keeping called ? the year sapphire, how are people here keeping called? it's very hot

but we are staying cold with the breeze at the estuary intricate lots of water and whatever we can get a hold of a stop live lots of holes in my drive said the breeze can come and help me stop live keep sign cream on and hats on. keep yourself cool cream on and hats on. keep yourself cool. you have rented out these chest, how busy are you today? busiest day of the year to be honest, easter was ok but this weekend is absolutely brilliant so nearly sold out on everything so that's how well we are dealing. said nothing is left? just a few but they are running out fast, best day ever. to mild, the mercury drops and will bring the country back to seasonal average. the british—iranian woman, nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe, who is currently serving a five year jail sentence in iran has ended her hunger strike. she's been convicted of spying — a charge she denies. her husband richard ratcliffe, also ended his hunger strike outside the iranian embassy in london where he has been for the last 15 days.

here's what he told the bbc radio a's, today programme this morning. i had a phone call this morning, and it is good news, she had decided to stop a hunger strike, so i will be stopping it, so good news. good news for yourself but particularly for her? that's quite right, it was getting hard for me, but i'm sure it is harder for her. she said she had had some breakfast this morning, a bit of porridge with some apple and banana, and i'm relieved, because we wouldn't have wanted to push it much longer. what has it achieved? well, i think we will only know after it is finished. what we have had is lots of media attention. we've had must be more than 100 mps who have come down to visit and show solidarity, and the media from around the world have been aware of her case. i think in iran we have come a much bigger story than we were before,

and there is an awareness that this needs to be solved. you have really got under the skin of the iranians, particularly the diplomats here in london. we have certainly got them cross, perhaps more than i was expecting, so in the early days they put up a fence to block us off, and then tweeting them, they were trolling us on social media, and various articles claiming i was breaking the vienna convention. but the idea was to bring the problem to their doorstep, so i'm glad that happened. and the politicians you mentioned who have visited you, quite a wide variety, including jeremy corbyn. what was your conversation with him? he stayed for about 40 minutes, brought his wife, talked about his own experience of being on protest, suggested that he would go and try and liaise with the iranian ambassador to see what could be done. that is interesting, because he of course in the past has worked for press tv, which is the propaganda arm of the iranian regime. he obviously has a potential ability to talk directly to them. do you expect that now to happen?

he said he had also been to iran as part of the parliamentary delegation with others, so, yes, i will meet up with him later next week, when i have had a meal and been to a&e and get checked. so your expectation when you follow up with him is what? i think my first expectation would be to go and meet with tulip who is our mp, and see with all that wealth of concern in parliament what we can do in the next few weeks. the speaker came down and said, listen, if there is anything we can do, let us know. the headlines on bbc news... the us and china agree to resume talks to ease their trade war — and speaking at the g20 summit in osaka president trump says companies will be able to trade with huawei. president trump also visits south korea, north korea has not yet said whether its leader,

kimjong—un, will meet the us president when he visits the border between the two koreas tomorrow. theresa may urges world leaders to follow the uk's target and eliminate greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, at the g20 summit. the killers will headline the pyramid stage at glastonbury later tonight. they'll be following in the footseps of stormzy, who last night became the first solo black british artist to headline glastonbury festival. 0ur entertainment correspondent, lizo mzimba, is there. well a short time ago i asked him if he'd managed to catch any of that set. i saw some but not all of it, but yes, expectations were high and he seemed to fulfil everything, so lots of pressure on the next two days of the festival, and who better to ask

than regular festivalgoers, so the festival, and who better to ask than regularfestivalgoers, so last night stormzy went down a storm forgive the pun, but is it living up to expectation this year? absolutely i have had the best time, this is my second festival of the first one was wet so this is a different vibe completely. what about you, tom? completely with the leather —— whether leading up to sun is out everyone is happy, it's amazing. your first everyone is happy, it's amazing. yourfirst time everyone is happy, it's amazing. your first time was 1998? yeah i. what keeps you coming back because it's not cheap what does it offer? it's the best one in the world, so they create a city here, everything is here look at other stages that's 40 stages. it's incredible. what are you looking forward to for the rest of the weekend at? chemical brothers tonight, another healing feels,

massage,, fact which is amazing jim cook, i'm looking forward to seeing it all, ijust cook, i'm looking forward to seeing it all, i just walking around cook, i'm looking forward to seeing it all, ijust walking around and taking it in. the last time you were here with 2016 and different, just lately my dearest. i was up to here in mud. horrendous but we still had a good time so it is what it is that we are here for music and experience. the challenge is different this time it's very hot, easy to get some water here and staying hydrated? we all had the reusable cups so we are filling them up reusable cups so we are filling them up as much as he can about four l down today. how do you find it easy to get a hold of water? security is really good and the stages are refilling bottles, lots of water types everywhere, they are helping savvy when it hydrated. looking forward to sunday, the legend that is kylie minogue will be playing are

it's seen two decades of devolution. scotland is an old nation with a relatively new parliament. it's seen two decades of devolution. the queen, joined by the duke of rothesay, said she fondly remembered the opening ceremony. today, she was back addressing the current msps. i have no doubt that for most of these last 20 years this striking chamber has provided exactly that — a place to talk. but, of course, it must also be a place to listen. a place to hear views that inevitably may differ quite considerably, one from another. and a place to honour those views. the political landscape has changed dramatically since 1999. that's what's called competition, i think... the first first minister was the labour leader, the late donald dewar. nicola sturgeon was

then a young snp msp. now, she's first minister. the 290 acts of parliament that have been passed so far have varied in their impact. but from land reform, in the first parliament to equal marriage in the last, to the social security act in this, they have all made scotland a better place. some in the crowd had come to grab a glimpse of the queen. 0thers came to mark a moment in scotland's political history. independence—wise, i was totally against it. but i can see why we've got our own parliament, for coming forward with certain laws. the scottish parliament has allowed us to have a bit more of a voice for the nhs in scotland, and certainly some of the initiatives that have come forward in scotland. as the queen leaves the scottish parliament, people here say they feel a mixture of optimism and uncertainty about the next 20 years. the emphasis today was on unity. but as brexit dominates the uk political agenda, the snp government has said it

brings an independent scotland a step closer. as the late donald dewar said, devolution is a journey with no end. alexandra mackenzie, bbc news, edinburgh. breaking the 20 mile per hour speed limit near schools is particularly important for the safety of children, with just the fear of accidents putting many parents off allowing their kids to travel to school alone. the metropolitan police and transport for london have now enlisted the help of school children, as a way to encourage motorists to change their behaviour. dougal shaw reports. if you get caught speeding near this primary school in south london you might be in for a surprise. the police will tell you that instead of facing a fine or points on your license, you can instead agree to be questioned by a panel of primary school pupils about your actions. which is exactly what this motorist decided to do. do you have any points on your license? no, totally clean. do you realise the dangers you are

putting yourself and others in? i didn't realise i was speeding, i didn't realise it was a 20 until i was pulled over. so, no, i didn't realise the danger. he didn't realise the dangers, kids, so let's tell him some. what are they? if you hit someone there is the potential of them dying. so how did he take the judges‘ criticism? it was a shock that made it a reality, that is for sure. i didn't realise questions i was going to get. it was, yeah, it made me see different. the idea is to enforce the 20 mph speed limit to protect children at school. the police don't offer this option to drivers who they think have significantly broken the speed limit. in this 90 minute session, 32 motorists were stopped. all of them chose to face the children rather than accept a traditional penalty. it was very fun, because they're random people and you just get to tell them often they can't do anything to you because the police are there.

you get to tell them off and it's fun. it is quite surprising that there are that many people speeding around a school. the metropolitan police and transport for london are hoping to roll out the scheme across the capital. you shouldn't need an eight—year—old to explain this to you. the fact that these kids are having to come out and do this ought to make you rather ashamed. importantly, though, the final act in this confrontation is always one of reconciliation. do we forgive him? yes. we forgive him and hope you will learn from that. i will now, for sure. dougal shaw, bbc news. some pictures now from paris where the pride festival is under way. hundreds of thousands of people are expected at the parade — many of them are carrying umbrellas to protect against the heat with temperatures expected to climb to about 37 degrees. paris' mayor anne hidalgo has pledged to make the city the world's gay capital. pride celebrations are taking place in cities across europe, asia and north and south america over the next two weekends.

and it's the stone wall 50th anniversary in new york, said big celebrations there. now it's time for a look at the weather with matt taylor. central and eastern parts of the uk will see the hottest and most humid conditions today. we have brought some of that continental heat up and out in the west it is the atlantic that there is influencing things. the cold front moves its way eastward through the night and puts us all in the atlantic air for tomorrow. temperatures have dropped, it will be the same humility but if you are out there and get sunshine at times it will be pleasant. we've had some storms today. this is in northern ireland earlier. those storms are now pushing their way eastwards across scotland and far north of england. a drop of temperature in western areas, still in the low 20s but we are still in the 30s in many parts of southern and eastern england.

the storms in scotland could be severe this evening with disruption, lightning and hail and the risk of flash flooding as well. they will gradually work their way into the north sea into the night, still raining in shetland in the morning. elsewhere most places dry, partly clear, bit of a westerly breeze. we will have lost a humidity of recent night so a bit more comfortable. temperatures in the mid teens for most as we start tomorrow. 0verall compared to today and yesterday much fresher for sunday but still pleasant in the sun shine. showers in the highlands and islands with the odd rumble of thunder but nowhere near as severe as today. some sunshine in between those showers and many southern and eastern areas will stay dry for the bulk if not all day long. still strong sunshine overhead and it will still feel quite pleasant at the low to mid 20s. in the near continent germany could see the return to some heat tomorrow with the potential for some more record—breaking temperatures there. it will cool off into monday. for us we will start to drag our air from scotland and a more northerly direction.

a few showers around in the north with high pressure in the south for most of next week, mostly dry and sunny spells and looking good for the start of wimbledon.
