time for sportsday. a top temperature 3a degrees celsius is recorded in heathrow. and pakistan avoid a shock defeat to afghanistan at the cricket world cup — but onlyjust. hello and welcome to sportsday, more on that and the rest with me olly foster of the day's sport in and ben croucher. sportsday at 6:30. thanks forjoining us. here‘s are your sportsday headlines. pakistan leave it late in leeds to beat afghanistan at the cricket world cup. 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 620 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 620 summit of the world's wealthiest nations essentially became a 62. 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. north korea has not yet said whether its leader, kim jong—un, will meet donald trump when the us president visits the border between the two koreas on sunday. in what mr trump described as a spontaneous gesture, he said on twitter he could shake mr kim's hand and say hello. pyongyang said it hadn't received an official invitation from mr trump, but described his offer as "interesting." joining us now from exeter is aidan foster—carter, a korea analyst at leeds university. thank you forjoining us here on bbc news, what's your reaction to president trump tweet? this is

typical, we have gotten use to this extraordinary way of dealing diplomacy. diplomacy is on the secret stuff that governments get behind the scenes, very carefully planned and managed an alley we have these tweets but i don't think it's a holy face value. this idea that the visit after the 620 has been planned for weeks, and there has been passed that speculation from the that it'll be easy to do something at that showbiz light, not substantial at that meeting, so they are planning something i guess we will know in a few hours‘ time, maybe 3am right now that they are, but i think actually it wasn‘t... everything takes planning especially with north korea. interesting that you say it‘s the new way of dealing diplomacy i guess that‘s it, it‘s not diplomacy, it‘s just a fabulous photo opportunity if the north korean president says yes. photo opportunity if the north korean president says yeslj photo opportunity if the north korean president says yes. i fear that‘s right, in a way, it‘s how no

matter how deplorable and may think donald trump is, in the sort of long step korean situation, the very fact of having a summit like how substantial they were, you know, he‘s broken through some stuff, the trouble is you then have to eventually get to the substance, and we had this weird disconnect, you have this odd bromance between the leader of the free word —— free world q u ote leader of the free word —— free world quote unquote, and the least free state —— they, sending they love each other, but in the four months, north korea has refused any working meetings, they don‘t think that... is been no progress at all, so that... is been no progress at all, so it needs to move forward sometime, i guess if they do meet, that‘s better than nothing, but it would be pleasa ntries that‘s better than nothing, but it would be pleasantries which i suppose i better than unpleasantries if you remember how they used to talk about the little rocket

mandated saline, but it‘s a strange mixture really. well of the leadership in hanoi be waiting at the you think? in pyongyang, sorry it‘s very confusing i know. north korea, yeah, they be weighing up the well there‘s always a security issue, that‘s i think you can actually spring this on north korea, it would have to be slightly preplanned behind the scenes here at the theatrical, kim jong—il and will be deciding whether he‘s got anything to lose by this, and clearly, as president trump admitted, there is nothing more than admitted, there is nothing more than a photo op, will be more pleasantries, to a photo op, will be more pleasa ntries, to be a photo op, will be more pleasantries, to be frank, singapore a year ago was more than that too, hanoi was but as soon as they got to the committee, americans made a stupid offer in my view, telling and asking them to get everything up, which of course they weren‘t going to do. see back whole thing, they

will work out what it is anything to lose by this. but i think he doesn‘t have much to lose honestly, i would say if i would to place a bet i don‘t think it‘s going to happen. you don‘t? don‘t think it‘s going to happen. you don't? i think probably not but that would be such a let down, wouldn‘t it but i draw my bet. you see, they had us talking about it though they have got nice but it would be a let down, because while i‘m kinda used to them i guess. would be a let down, because while i'm kinda used to them i guess. you might say that tweet at least does mean that some sort of contact between them. but, they found each other lovely letters and birthday letters, but what we actually want is this whole matter of disarmament, that same us president that which you from a perfectly reasonable detail agreement on this nuclear deal or preventing them from iran which he hates, somehow doesn‘t seem to violate that absolutely nothing at all has happened other than verbiage with north korea, i mean

you talk about double standards, strange wild. will have to wait and see just a few hours and will find out if your productions are correct or not. and we‘ll find out how this story — and many others — are covered in tomorrow‘s front pages at 10:30 and 11:30 this evening in the papers. our guests joining me tonight are the journalist and author, christina patterson, and katherine forster, a journalist at the sunday times. back in the uk, the race to find theresa 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 they‘re about to face another audience in manchester. 0ur political reporter claire hamilton is where the second hustings is taking place. claire, has there been a good turnout is there a buzz before this?

yes, yes, i mean, that saturday night in manchester is a big deal any day of the week or week of the year, but tonight, there‘s been a real buzz around this building which is why the hustings are taking place right now, they are going to start any minute now. borisjohnson has already gone into the building about an hourago, and already gone into the building about an hour ago, and we cannotjust see the other candidate in the race, jeremy hunt coming towards the building now. 6etting jeremy hunt coming towards the building now. getting a a smile as he walks towards and hands are being cheered by his supporters here, not just essential. a good welcome party for the foreign secretaryjeremy hunt here, in central manchester with his supporters before he takes to the stage this evening. boris johnson i believejust took to the stage this evening. boris johnson i believe just took the stage and started addressing that cloud right now in manchester stop don‘t worry i will tell you, we got nine points in the recent zero election, and we need to start to

pick up. we got the brexit party liberal democrats both taking votes from a knife and a way they are feeding like giant puff balls on a sent that the kf trust in politics, and that's our problem but we can't solve it and i am here tonight to tell you we can turn this thing around, because we are going to do three important things, and the first, the absolute priority of course is to get brexit done. and to deliver on, do it, i'd do it by october the 31st. get it done get over the line and very briefly what we need to do is make sure we look after our friends, european citizens are here in that country given rights, number two money we should suspend in a creative ambiguity ever talks until such time we get results we need, we sort out problems at the irish backstop and friction lend trade in the issues in the context where they belong which courses in

free trade talks we will do that after we have left the eu on october 31. and we simultaneously get ready to prepare for no deal, prepare to come out on wto terms if we absolutely have to, i don't think that's where we end up for a second, but we have to get ready because we have to show our friends and partners we have confidence and we do, don't we, we believe it and we can do it and there are people as a plains won't fly a no clean drinking water and i read the other day the department of food said there will not be any glucose and whatnot for mars bars which children depend on and alli mars bars which children depend on and all i could say was i make a confident property whatever happens oi'i confident property whatever happens on november one planes will fly there will be clean drinking water and we will have adequate supplies of glucose and solids because where there is a well there's no way, and you can see that one coming, you can

see it coming and then we can get on asa see it coming and then we can get on as a great confident conservative party uniting all wings of the party and i'm proud that i have more than half the parliamentary party already behind my campaign, with a vision for modern conservatives, that brings the whole country together and i'm not sure what i want to do with the whole country, i know i'm sure i know we are going to do what we we re sure i know we are going to do what we were able to do in london when i started 11 years ago, we had four of the six poorest burros anywhere in the six poorest burros anywhere in the country, when i ended eight years later, i step down after two terms, we had nine of those and what did we do we cut crime considerably, murder rate was down by 50%, we put fantastic infrastructure abridged the opportunity gap for people, the bottom got rich vastness of the biggest increases and life expectancy, and that's what we should do, and it's our moral case, as conservatives that we believe in

the free market and by the way i don't think we had said that loudly enoughin don't think we had said that loudly enough in the last two years, happily? we should champion it, we should champion the world of creators and business and precisely because it's a good thing in itself of course, but also because it delivers the wealth that we need to pay for a fantastic infrastructure for investment in education and health all the things making our society wonderful in that in turn can make business confidence and give it to pop him to invest in a simple, isn't it, it's simple modern conservative and it's an idea we can sell it but we need to do now in this country is to apply roughly speaking the same kind of a formula, transport infrastructure. i want to be the prime minister who does all across rail at the north of what i did for the south in london, and otherwise deliberate, i want to be a prime minister who lets up education standards and educational spending around this country. i think it's

disgraceful that the capital spending has fallen back around so much of the country by comparison with what's happening in london, and we can lift it up, a final reflection... boris johnson making his pitch to the second hustings of the day and we are expecting jeremy hunta the day and we are expecting jeremy hunt a little bit later trying to bring you some of the foreign secretary live as well. time now for the headlines on bbc news. the us and china agree to resume talks to ease their trade war — and speaking at the 620 summit in osaka president trump says companies will be able president trump also visits south korea — north korea has not yet said whether its leader, kim jong—un, will meet the us president when he visits the border between the two koreas tomorrow. the conservative party leadership candidates, boris johnson and jeremy hunt, go head to head at hustings in manchester. 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 and diminishing of 1‘s what as great a newspaper at the front page should be followed by title title from civil servants and people who don‘t know me or i don‘t understand me, iam who don‘t know me or i don‘t understand me, i am a very fit and healthy and very active person. i love what i do, i let my community andi love what i do, i let my community and i love being outdoors. the idea that civil servants should be briefing newspapers against an elected politician, against a respective government is something that should be very concerned to a

lot of people. the civil service has to be independent, has to be nonpolitical, and has to be nonjudgmental of the politicians that they had a duty to serve in the future. and i would make that very clear to them all, if we are elected to government will come in with a clear programme and things we want to do in the country, for housing health education environment so many things, we will explain those to our collea g u es things, we will explain those to our colleagues in the civil service and expect them to carry out those policies. that is the way british 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 35.6. our correspondent michael cowan reports from 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 ? 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. 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 ihada

i had a phone call this morning it‘s good news and she decided to stop the hunger strike so i will as well iam the hunger strike so i will as well i am relieved to. goodness for your but particularly for her and. that's correct, it was getting hard for me but i‘m sure it was harderfor her, she said she had breakfast this morning. porridge with apple and banana, so yeah i am very concerned because i did not want her to push it longer. the queen has addressed the scottish parliament to mark 20 years of devolution. in a speech to msps she said she‘d "watched scotland grow and prosper" since holyrood took on its legal powers two decades ago. the queen attended the ceremony with prince charles. our correspondent alexandra mackenzie joined the crowds to catch a glimse of the ceremony. 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. others 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. liam 6allagher has just taken to the main stage at the 6lastonbury festival. later tonight, the killers will be

headline act on the pyramid stage. they‘ll be following in the footseps of stormzy, who last night became the first solo black british artist to headline the festival. let‘s talk to our entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba, who‘s at glastonbury for us now. yes that‘s right people are in many places still talking about that stormzy headline performance last night, he did not let the opportunity pass to make political points in front of a huge audience that he was given yesterday evening. ranging from his view that the criminal justice system ranging from his view that the criminaljustice system has a racial bias through to the arts and criticism of that privilege and racism in the world but not if it was at the expense of what he was here to do and i entertain thousands of fa ns here to do and i entertain thousands of fans here and find out the main pyramid stage, and now like his step and many others, 6lastonbury aims to

be as inclusive as possibly can in one way —— that is by having people signing a long, we have been speaking to tara who was signing during the set last night. speaking to tara who was signing during the set last nightlj speaking to tara who was signing during the set last night. i had interpreted for him a few times now this was expressed had lighting at 6lastonbury on the parent‘s day so it was a momentous set for him to have done, it felt really good and nice to be able to provide access to death for people who paid tickets to come here and the headliners. so it‘s been a lot to live up to on the second day of the festival which had its own challenges, the hottest day of the air, sfr, and many festival direct certainly was i here and 6lastonbury as its benefit across many other places in the country but people seem to be enjoying the music, leanne 6allagher is on stage at the moment, the cameras as he said would be on stage later, and at

tomorrow afternoon we will see the legend kylie minogue meant you had lighting year and 2005, she had to withdraw when she was diagnosed with breast cancer but now she‘s finally black —— back to play a full set for many people as potentially one of the highlights of sunday. indeed it‘ll be, i think you and well done. festivalgoers have been left disappointed after a festival in belgium was cancelled before it began. vestiville was supposed to take place in lommel on friday before closing on sunday with cardi b, jason derulo and tory lanez among the names featured in the line up. the rapper asap rocky told his social media followers that he would not be performing due to security and infrastructure concerns. organisers later announced on twitter that the event would not take place. the pop superstar lady gaga has praised the achievements of the gay rights movement at a commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of the stonewall riots in new york. injune 1969, in a defining moment

for the struggle for l6bt rights, patrons of a gay bar, the stonewall inn, rose up against police harassment. between four and six million people are expected in new york for a weekend of celebrations, as ben hunte reports. it is set to be the biggest pride event of all time. yes, this weekend, new york city is welcoming an estimated 4 million extra people to its streets to celebrate l6bt pride. it was here on christopher street 50 years ago where many people say the modern l6bt rights movement was born. after gay people were denied jobs and after they were branded as mentally ill, on one hot night, they started fighting back. just a year later, america‘s first gay pride march took place right on these streets and today, the stonewall inn is still standing and still serving, with people coming from hours awayjust to take a selfie in front of the iconic bar.

the same day as stonewall‘s 50th anniversary, a commemorative rally took over christopher street. rainbows were everywhere, and even though sunday‘s pride parade is expected to be this year‘s crowning moment, today there were several surprise special guests, including lady gaga. she was here spreading a message of love and equality. you have the ultimate power and you have never been so visible in the world and that beautiful light and that rainbow is shining all around you. stand in it, bask in it, allow yourself to glow in it as we grow. just take that spotlight! it belongs to you! with so many people out celebrating their freedom, it can be easy to forget that around the world, and even here in the united states, some l6bt people still have to hide because of who they are. ben hunte, bbc news, new york. now it‘s time for a look at the weather with chris fawkes.

yes indeed, glorious, plenty of sunshine around and easily the hottest day of the year as well, temperatures reached 3a celsius, but it‘s changing for the second half of the weekend as atlantic air flows across the country, dropping temperatures to a more comfortable but still warm 25 degrees in the warm spots tomorrow. at the money, big thunderstorms around us, particularly for scotland if you far northern ireland in england and bringing localised flash flooding set in the money, big thunderstorms around us, particularly for scotland if you far northern ireland in england and bringing localised flash flooding certainly lots of lightning in scotland at very warm and 26 in my den, but does temperature slowly drifting to 16 by the end of the night, so it‘ll start to turn cooler and fresher, for sunday, not a bad kind of day of the across northwestern areas, crotty went rain and cool on the far north of scotla nd and cool on the far north of scotland and elsewhere, broken

clouds and spouse of sunshine night as hot today, some people find it more comfortable, temperatures reaching a high of 25 degrees still warm for this time of year in london 00:29:08,881 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 and that your weather.
