the leaders of the two countries sha ke hands as they agree to resume negotiations. we had a very good meeting with president xi of china. excellent, i would say excellent, as good as it was going to be. so we discussed a lot of things, and we're right back on track. also on tonight's programme: a woman who was eight months pregnant is stabbed to death in croydon. her baby is critically ill. jeremy corbyn dismisses claims that some civil servants think he's too frail to be prime minister. he demands an investigation into who said it. and baking britain — temperatures hit 3a degrees, the hottest day of the year so far.

good evening. the united states and china have agreed to resume talks to ease the trade war between the world's two largest economies. president trump and the chinese leader, xijinping, reached the agreement at the 620 summit injapan. as part of the truce, mr trump said american companies can once again sell components to the chinese tech giant huawei, ending a us ban on such sales. from osaka, nick bryant sent this report. this was the day when the 620 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. so we discussed a lot of things, and we ‘re 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 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 complimentary. 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 khashoggi, which us intelligence believes was ordered by the crown prince. mr president, will you address the murder ofjamal 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, osaka. live now to our diplomatic correspondent james robbins, who's in osaka. and, james, apart from trade, several other key global issues have been discussed at this summit. that's right. i mean, it's been a bruising summit, not least on climate change, where donald trump, who frankly despises these sorts of collective gatherings, collective decision—making, tried to undermine the commitment of the other 19 leaders to stand by the paris accords of 2015, to stand by their climate change targets. he tried to peel away the japanese hosts and get them to strip out the climate language from the final communique. that didn't work. you try to persuade brazil's new populist president, bolsonaro, to walk away from paris, and there have been

talking about his disliking of the process , talking about his disliking of the process, but he held firm. theresa may pointed to the hundreds of thousands of young people urging leaders to do more, pointing to their commitment to bring down greenhouse gas emissions do not zero by 2050, she urged others to do the same. she didn't get commitments on that, but emmanuel macron said he was delighted that the rest, the other 19, had held the line on climate change. so donald trump remains isolated in a form he much despises, but it is worth bearing in mind that there are real tensions at global level, and they were reflected in the summit‘s concluding language — quite chilling, most importantly, they say, trade and geopolitical tensions have intensified. james, many thanks, james robbins in osaka. a woman who was eight months pregnant has been stabbed to death in croydon in south london. the woman's baby was delivered by paramedics at the scene and is now critically ill. 0ur correspondent richard galpin is at the scene for us now.

richard. what more can you tell us? well, as you say, ben, this is the house in croydon where we understand that there is a stabbing took place. as you can say, police have sealed it off, and there is an operation going on. we have seen forensics teams coming and going also since we have been here. as you were saying, this woman was eight months pregnant, she died on the scene, and her baby was delivered on the scene as well and is in critical condition and has been taken to hospital, where it is being looked after. now, we know that a 37—year—old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder, and the police are calling for anyone who has any information to come forward and provide that information to them. in the meantime, the london mayor, sadiq khan, has put out a tweet saying that horrific murders in the home like these show the scale of the problem we face, and he's also saying that violence

against women has no place in our city. richard, thank you very much indeed, richard galpin there in croydon. the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, has dismissed reports in a newspaper today that he is too frail for office. an article in the times claims that senior civil servants are concerned that he is not up to the job "physically or mentally". mr corbyn is calling for an investigation to find out if senior civil servants have been briefing the media against him. with me is our political correspondent, iain watson. soil, iaini, how unusual is it to get these comments from civil serva nts get these comments from civil servants about the leader of the opposition? i think it is quite extraordinary, what the times singh, ben, is that they have spoken to senior civil servants who suggest thatjeremy corbyn is too frail, he has been propped up by his advisors, and he is not functioning on all cylinders. now, ishould and he is not functioning on all cylinders. now, i should say we can't corroborate any of this, these are based on anonymous sources, jeremy corbyn at first described all

this is tittle—tattle, and he points out he is fit, active, loves the outdoors. but what is surprising is that he is willing to draw more attention to these claims by ratcheting up his response, saying he wants an investigation into which senior civil servants might be briefing against him. i am told the reason for that is the criticisms are not simply political but highly personal, and one senior labour insider described them as sinister. nowjeremy corbyn has a message to any whitehall mandarin who might be tempted to undermine him. the idea that civil servants should be briefing newspapers against an elected politician, against a prospective government, is something that should be very concerning to a lot of people. the civil service has to be independent, has to be non—political, and has to be non—judgemental. now, jeremy corbyn has been under the cosh recently from some of his mps over brexit, anti—semitism, and at least this gives them an

opportunity to attack people who might be seen as part of the establishment as a way of perhaps rallying his battle weary troops. iain, thank you very much, iain watson. 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. our correspondent alexandra mackenzie was there. 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, ithink... 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. the duke and duchess of sussex tonight made an appearance at the new york yankees versus boston red sox baseball match in london. the crowds roared at west ham's stadium when they appeared ahead of what is the first major league baseball match to be played in europe. it was always known prince harry would be attending, but meghan had not been expected to be there. with all the sport now, here's

olly foster at the bbc sport centre. evening to you, ben. as england prepare for their match against the usa on tuesday, the semifinal line—up at the women's world cup was completed today. the netherlands beat italy 2—0, and there was a shock in the last of the quarter—finals as the two—time champions germany lost 2—1 to sweden. eleanor roper reports. germany were the favourites to win in rennes, and history was with them. turn del would be fought and had been 20 years before the team which scored first had lost a quarter final, which scored first had lost a quarterfinal, and which scored first had lost a quarter final, and it looked which scored first had lost a quarterfinal, and it looked like that would continue as lina magull put them 1—0 up, but sweden quickly levelled, incredibly that the first girl that the germans had conceded at this world cup. and then another, they speak all that would knock them out, sparking scenes of celebration. earlier in valenciennes, the dutch fa ns were earlier in valenciennes, the dutch fans were out in force, they survive the heat to get a win over italy as

temperatures hit 3a degrees, cooling brea ks were temperatures hit 3a degrees, cooling breaks were introduced, but it meant the game lost momentum, and with that italy lost their cool. goals from arsenal's vivianne miedema and another from stefanie van der gragt are the nettle and is heading their way into their first world cup semifinal. —— so the netherlands heading their way. at the cricket world cup, australia are still top of the table. they had a convincing win over new zealand at lords, pakistan have pushed england out of the semifinal places after a thriller against afghanistan at headingley. chasing 228 for victory, it all went down to the final over. imad wasim's boundary secured a three—wicket win to keep pakistan's tournament alive. stewards had to deal with pitch invaders and also some scuffles between fans. that result leaves england little room for error. they have two games left to try and qualify for the semifinals. fail to beat india at edgbaston tomorrow, and that will be out of their hands.

they had been favourites but have lost three of their seven matches so far. i can't fault the commitment or application that the guys have produced in every single game. where we have let ourselves down as a group is adapting to conditions. the formula one world champion lewis hamilton is fourth on the grid for tomorrow's austrian grand prix after he was penalised by stewards for this incident during qualifying. he slowed down kimi raikkonen's alfa romeo at a corner. hamilton says he totally deserved the penalty. he had been second quickest behind ferrari's charles leclerc, who will start from pole. in the final tournament before wimbledon starts on monday, karolina pliskova has won the eastbourne title for the second time. the czech world number three beat the reigning wimbledon champion, angelique kerber, in straight sets in just over an hour. american taylor fritz won the men's title. london is hosting major league baseball this weekend, the first regular—season games

to be played in europe. it took over three weeks to get west ham's london stadium ready for the games. the new york yankees are taking on great rivals and reigning world series champions the boston red sox. the yankees are currently leading 17—13. and you can watch the rest of that high—scoring game live right now on the bbc sport website. that's all your sport. ben. olly, thank you very much indeed. it's been the hottest day of the year so far — and one of the warmestjune days of the past a0 years. the temperature reached 34.0 celsius at heathrow and at northolt in west london. dozens of festivalgoers were treated for heatstroke at glastonbury, and there were long queues for drinking water. organisers gave away free suncream to the crowds. at southend—on—sea, the beach was crowded, with demand for deckchairs and beach huts its highest this year.

temperatures are expected to drop overnight across the uk as cold air moves in from the atlantic, sweeping away the humidity. you can see more on all of today's stories on the bbc news channel. that's all from me. good night.

hello, this is bbc news. 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 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. as you've been hearing, its 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 in southend where it's been an absolute scorcher, you can see behind me at five o'clock, the beach was still absolutely packed, the tide's gone out but the people are 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. keeping cool isn't easy when the mercury is rising. the sea helps. as does the breeze. we're in southend—on—sea, with its quintessentially british striped deck chairs and fish and chips. locals say it's the busiest they've ever seen the resort. but on britain's hottest day of the year so far, how are beach—goers here keeping cool? it is hot but we're keeping cool, with the breeze off the estuary, drinking plenty of water and coke, you know, whatever we can get hold of. i just wear stuff that has loads of holes in it so that the breeze can just come and help me. keep sufi creams on, keep sun hats on. keep yourself cool, that's it. you rent the deckchairs out that everyone has. how busy have you been today? we've had the busiest day of the year so far, to be honest. easter was ok but this weekend is absolutely brilliant. we're nearly sold out on all our chairs, that's how well we're doing at the moment. no chairs left?

well, we've got a few left, but they're running out fast. so, yeah, best day ever. tomorrow, the mercury drops and will bring the country back to its seasonal average. michael cowan, bbc news, southend—on—sea. italian prosecutors say they will file charges against the captain of a migrant rescue vessel who defied italy's refusal to let her dock on the island of lampedusa. carola rackete had taken more than a0 people on board the sea watch 3 off the coast of libya. she's being held on suspicion of ‘resisting a war ship' — which can be punished with up to ten years in prison. with more, here's david campanale. after two weeks at sea, carola rackete decided she had to bring the sea watch 3 into lampedusa harbour. her ship had rescued 53 migrants off the coast of libya who had been drifting on an inflatable raft in the sea and were now getting desperate.

the reason for her arrest, requests for acceptance by italy or another eu state had not received a response. but as she had edged the ship to the dockside, a police launch tried to get in between then touched hulls and the launch spread out to avoid being crushed. the hardline interior minister of italy used facebook to denounce her as a rich white german women who put lives at risk whilst claiming to save them. these are criminals, because a ship of hundreds of tonnes has damaged a fibreglass patrol boat with policemen on. some were forced to get down or escpae for their lives. this is a criminal act of war. the italian authorities accused the captain of collaborating in trafficking in humans but the charity said it was proud of herfor doing the right thing. she did exactly what is proposed by international law of the sea to proceed to the next safe port

and we ended up in a situation where she had no other choice than to actually enforce human rights at sea on her own. 13 migrants had been taken in by the authorities for health reasons whilst several eu countries have agreed to accept the rest. the rescue ship itself is dutch—flagged and german run and under italian laws faces being seized and a fine of 20,000 euros. it's time for a look at the weather with matt taylor whilst the heatwave and other parts of europe and still ongoing, for us it was a short—term visitor. peaking on saturday afternoon, the south—east corner 3a degrees thanks to winds bringing the european heat and you meditate array.

atlantic air though already had an influence in the west and the clearance of some thunderstorms eastwards to take us into sunday, behind this cold front means we are all into atlantic airflow sunday. it's still going to be very pleasant in the sunshine with temperatures such as this, sun every bit as strong but a few more showers around and you will notice the difference out of the sun in particular. indeed as you go into the week ahead, nowhere near as hot or as humid as it has been for the past few days. in fact the first half of the week looking fresher than we will see on sunday. sunday it is generally westerly winds across the country. sunshine to begin with, showers on the go, northern and western scotland with a rumble of thunder. with those, showers developing for northern ireland, northern, western england and wales. sunshine in between but driest and sunniest of all in southern and eastern areas, as i said, even though temperatures down nine, 10 degrees on what we saw on saturday afternoon, still very pleasant and the sun still every bit as strong. as for across europe, the peak of the heat on sunday will be across germany.

here we could see record—breaking june temperatures are reached. it will turn cooler so into monday as the cold front works its way, some storms potentially on that. for us though we turn our attention to the low pressure pushing into scandinavia, opening the door to more north—westerly winds for monday. so temperatures will drop relative to sunday. you will see clouds and showers across the north to begin with, pushing their way southwards during the day. many parts of central and southern england and wales will stay dry throughout, but probably a bit more cloud around than we will see on sunday and temperatures mid to high teens, maybe low 20s at best, close to where we should be for the time of year. as we go through monday night and into tuesday, this area of high pressure starts building in off the atlantic towards us, still puts us with a north—westerly airflow to begin with. a bit of a fresh start for tuesday for the morning commute. lots of sunshine to begin with, showers across central, northern scotland and it's here where the showers could come and go through the day, but as pressure starts to build in, showers become lighter, few and further between but we see fairweather cloud build—up and probably spread out so the afternoon that little bit cloudier than the morning. temperatures as well for most in the teens rather than widely into the 20s. tuesday night into wednesday, another fresh one.

high pressure continues to build in, generally north—westerly airflow but the wind is not too strong and there high pressure builds in even more into wednesday, showers confined to orkney, shetland and the north east and mainland of scotland. most will be dry and a lot more sunshine around for longer too, just a bit of fairweather cloud into the afternoon. so temperatures could start to creep up again into the 20s a bit more widely through england and wales. mid to high teens for a good part of scotland and northern ireland. through wednesday night and into thursday this weather front is going to push its way around the northern edge of high pressure, bring a greater chance of rain and more cloud to scotland, but with the high pressure building in more widely across southern areas, winds will be light although a bit of an easterly drift through the english channel but with lots more sunshine around, temperatures are going to climb that bit more, perhaps creeping back towards the mid 20s in southern areas. really a good start to the week for wimbledon, a lot more cloud in scotland, northern ireland. sunny spells in the south and east, outbreaks and rain to the north and west with temperatures in the mid teens here. and then into next weekend, that high pressure starts to pull away a little bit to the rest of the uk, allowing more westerly airflow to return once again, so temperatures

could drop initially. with a bit of a northerly breeze, if you showers to the north and east and then into the week that follows, showers still likely in the north—west but as high pressure builds in again, sunny spells for many and temperatures could climb yet again.

hello. this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment. first the headlines: a woman who was eight months pregnant has been stabbed to death in thornton heath, south london, and her baby is critically ill in hospital. 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. donald trump 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. labour leaderjeremy corbyn dismisses claims that some civil servants think he's too frail to be prime minister — and demands an investigation into who said it. the uk enjoys the hottest day

of the year so far — with temperatures soaring across southern england. a top temperature of 3a degrees celsius is recorded in heathrow. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the journalist and author, christina patterson, and katherine forster, a aournalist at the sunday times. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. "get a grip or lose an election," that's the message from jeremy corbyn to labour mps in the observer, over fears that the party could lose in a snap general election. the politics continue in the sunday times, afterjeremy hunt and borisjohnson both reveal they were drafting in new negotiating teams to replace theresa may's failed brexit deal.

in the telegraph, space tourists could soon blast off from britain after the uk space agency began plans to rival nasa and us technology giants. "farage's plan to fight the new pm." the sunday express leads with nigel farage's £200 million investment in the regions as he tries to gain supporters for his brexit party. let's start on some politics because the papers are full of politics. let's go to the front page of the sunday telegraph and boris to set up 100 day brexit cabinet. the two candidates for prime minister are vying with each other to stand as tough as they possibly can in their preparation for brexit and borisjohnson, who has had persistent accusations of his lack of a plan, is now a p pa re ntly his lack of a plan, is now apparently putting together a crack

tea m apparently putting together a crack team which includes
