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 a day when the 620 summit of the world ‘s wealthiest nations became the 62. these talks between donald trump and shejim penn, by far the most consequential meeting of this global gathering. —— xi. an agreement to restart talks that fell apart last month. the us president made a major concession, lifting

some restrictions on huaweo —— to two. - item two was to we had a very good meeting with the president of china. excellent, as good as it was going to be. we discussed a lot of things about right back on track. mr trump and project invitation to meet in the demilitarised zone separating north and south korea. we will go to summitand go north and south korea. we will go to summit and go to handshake. i do know that it will happen. he would like to do it and i wouldn't mind doing it at all. i am visiting the dmz. in another meeting, the saudi crown prince, mr trump could hardly have been more commentary. on behalf ofa have been more commentary. on behalf of a lot of people, thank you and i wa nt to of a lot of people, thank you and i want to congratulate you, you've done a spectacularjob. he ignored questions about the murder of the

journals. thank you very much, i appreciated. the summit has highlighted a stark global divide between advocates of the postwar liberal order at nationalists such as vladimir putin who has described it as obsolete. it is getting harder to tell which side the united states is on. from joking with vladimir putin about russian meddling in next yea rs putin about russian meddling in next years us presidential election to his cosiness with the saudi crown prince. donald trump has shown my narration here for authoritarian leaders than america's traditional allies. he arrived tonight for a pre— planned dinner with south korea's president. but will he get his date at the dmz? with his friend from the totalitarian north. 0ur diplomatic correspondent james robbins,

is in osaka with the latest. it has been a bruising summit, not least on climate change were donald trump who frankly despises these sorts of collective gatherings and decision—making, tried to undermine the commitment of the other 19 leaders to stand by the paris accords of 2015. and to stand by 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. he tried to persuade brazil's new populist president to walk away from paris and they have been indications that his dislike of the hold —— process but he held firm. theresa may pointed to the hundreds of thousands of young people she says have urging leaders to do more, she put forward the commitment the united kingdom has made to bring down greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 20 20.

she didn't get commitments on that but the french president says he was delighted that the other 19 that held the lionel climate change. donald trump remains isolated in a form he much despises but it's worth bearing in mind that they are real tensions and they were reflected in the summer ‘s concluding language. most importantly they say that trade and geopolitical tensions have intensified. a woman who was eight months pregnant has been stabbed to death in thornton heath in south london. the woman's baby was delivered by paramedics at the scene and is now critically ill in hospital. 0ur correspondent, richard 6alpin has been to the scene from where he sent us this update. this is the house in croydon where we understand this stabbing took place. we can see the police have sealed it off and there is an operation going on. we have sinned forensic teams coming and going

since we have been here and as he was seen, this woman was eight months pregnant, she died on the scene and her baby was delivered on the scene as well. it is in critical condition and has been taken to hospital where it's being looked after. 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 mouses... —— mayor. 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 what they have written and it's diminishing of what was once a great newspaper that the front page should be full of tittle tattle from civil servants and people who don't know me or don't understand me. i am a very fit and healthy and very active person. i love what i do, i love my community and i love being outdoors. 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 nonpolitical, and has to be nonjudgmental of 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 clear

programme of things we want to do in the country, for housing health, education, environment so many 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. 0ur correspondent michael cowan reports from southend on sea. we have been here all day where it has been an absolute scorcher. you can see behind me it is five o'clock, the beach is still absolutely packed, the tide has gone out that people have been swimming here all day trying to deal with the heat, where temperatures have to —— topped at about 30 degrees. keeping

cool isn't easy when the mercury is rising. the sea helps. as does the breeze. we are in southend—on—sea and it is good to —— quintessentially deckchairs and and chips. local say it's the busiest they have seen the result. 0n britain's hottest day of the year so far, how are beach—goers here cubicle? it is hot but keeping cool with the breeze and drinking plenty of water. and whatever we can get hold of. i wet stuff that has loads of holes in it so the breeze can come and help me. keep some cream on, keep sun hats on, keep yourself cool on, keep sun hats on, keep yourself cool, that's it. you rent out the deckchairs, have as you have you been today? we had the busiest day of the year so far, easter was ok, but this weekend is absolutely brilliant. we're nearly sold out on all our sheds. so, no

brilliant. we're nearly sold out on all oursheds. so, no chairs brilliant. we're nearly sold out on all our sheds. so, no chairs left? we have a few but they're running out fast. stay ever. -- best day ever. the country will soon be brought back to its seasonal average. 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, 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. 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 and it's good news, she decided to stop a hunger strike which means that i'll be stopping it so i'm very relieved, i have to say. good news for yourself but particularly for her? that's right. it was getting ha rd her? that's right. it was getting hard for me but i'm sure it was much harderfor her. she hard for me but i'm sure it was much harder for her. she said that she had had some breakfast this morning, she had some porridge with apple and ba na na she had some porridge with apple and banana net. i'm relieved because i didn't want her to put it much longer. a ship carrying dozens of shipping containers full of trash has returned to the canadian city of vancouver from the philippines after a long—running row over waste exports. a philippine court in 2016 declared the importation of 2,400 tonnes of canadian waste illegal. the rubbish had been mislabeled as plastics for recycling. canada said the waste, exported to the philippines

between 2013 and 2014, was a private commercial transaction done without the government's consent. 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. 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 to trade with huawei. 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. 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. sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's ben. pakistan have moved above england in the group stage of the cricket world cup by beating afghanistan in a low scoring thriller at headingley. after restricting afghanistan to just 227, pakistan wobbled their way to 156 for 6 before scraping home with 2 balls to spare. imad wasim's 49 not out vital in the end. australia stay top of the table after an 86—run win against new zealand. they made 243—9 from their 50 overs — new zealand's trent boult taking a hat—trick. but new zealand never got close to chasing their target down — bowled out for 157 with more

than six overs remaining. so this is what it's all done to the table then. australia top but they were already in the semi finals. look to fourth and fifth. this is where it gets interesting. pakistan on 9 points with a game against bangladesh to go. win that and it'll mean england will have to win their final two games to make the semi finals. against new zealand on wednesday, starting against india at edgbaston tomorrow. real pressure on eoin morgan's side then. they play the unbeaten india having fallen to disappiointing defeats in their last 2 games. so injury concerns are the last thing they need. eoin morgan earlier updated us on the fitness ofjofra archer and openerjason roy jasonis jason is preparing to play tomorrow, providing he gets through today's practice and tomorrow morning unscathed. how is archer? he didn't

bowl yesterday. he didn't. again, he's going to see how he comes through today. it's the same thing he's been playing with through the last three games so we will see how he comes through. football then, we know the semi—final line—up the women's world cup. england versus the usa in lyon on tuesday. the netherlands against sweden in the same city the day after sweden's spot in the last four was the bigger surprise, beating germany 2—1 despite lina magull putting the two time champions ahead earlier on. six minutes later, sweden drew level in rennes through sofia jakobsson. the germans hadn't conceded a goal in their first four games in france but went behind when stina blackstenius poked in what turned out to be the winner. the result also means 6ermany will not get the chance to defend their olympic gold medal in tokyo next year.

the netherlands, playing in only their second world cup — made it through thanks to a 2—nil win over italy. arsenal forward vivienna miedema and stefania van der 6ragt heading the european champions through in valenciennes. despite qualifying on the front row, lewis hamilton will start sunday's austrian grand prix from fourth. it's after he was penalised for impeding alfa romeo's kimi raikkonen earlier in the session. charles leclerc will start on pole for ferrari alongside max verstappen. sebastian vettel is down in ninth. there were two brits on the podium at the montreal leg of the world triathlon series. none on the top step though. 6eorgia taylor brown finished 11 seconds behind the winner, america's katie zaferes. jess learmoth came third. major league baseball has ventured to europe for the first time with the london stadium hosting the boston red sox and new york yankees. aaron hicks got a little piece of history

by becoming the first player to score a home run this side of the atlantic for the yankees. new york led all game but nearly let boston back into it. this double play at the bottom of the ninth ended the red sox resurgence. yankees winning in the end 17—13 — the second highest scoring game ever between the two great rivals. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website — including wins for taylor fritz and karolina pliskova at eastbourne. from all of us at the bbc sport centre, have a very good night. the national farmers' union says a trial where seasonal workers from non—eu countries, like ukraine and moldova, are offered visas to pick crops on uk farms, should be extended from 2,500 workers, to 30,000 with farmers saying it could help fill the gap left by a drop

in the number of workers coming from the eu. here's our business correspondent katy austin. 0n on this farm in cornwall, because jets are being harvested. up to 20 times a day. most of them will be sold to supermarkets. for years, farms like this one have relied on workers coming overfrom countries inside the eu like poland almost recently romania and bulgaria to pick their crops but over the past couple of years they've been finding that more and more difficult. this farm has signed up to a new government scheme which aims to recruit workers from outside the eu. this group is from ukraine. they saw thejobs this group is from ukraine. they saw the jobs advertised at their agricultural university. translation: i say it is good for us to be here because we can earn money here to buy a flat, buy a car when we go back home because in ukraine, it's impossible to do. we go back home because in ukraine, it's impossible to dolj we go back home because in ukraine, it's impossible to do. i came here to earn money so i could start a business, a little shop for children's clothing and rings for

new mums. they start in the morning at about five o'clock. this farmer says the 2500 workers being allowed visas under this years pilot are badly needed. last year in cornwall, and are known the rest of the uk, a lot wasn't harvested because there wasn't stuff to harvest them. the eu as it is over the last few years has picked up dramatically in the economies of these countries so in future we're not going to be able to get the numbers we need from the eu so get the numbers we need from the eu so regardless of we leave the eu or stay in the eu, we still need to bring in extra workers on a seasonal worker ‘s pilot scheme. bring in extra workers on a seasonal worker 's pilot scheme. this trial isn't designed to need farmers entire staffing needs but the farmers union says its work well and urgently needs expanding. the pilot scheme is going to have to be fit to deliver. i am scheme is going to have to be fit to deliver. iam pleading scheme is going to have to be fit to deliver. i am pleading with government that we take the scheme up government that we take the scheme up to 30,000 in 2020 so that we can ensure it is fit for purpose. the home office told us it will review

the 2— year scheme before deciding what will be done longer term. farmers like david hope workers like these will be able to come back again and again. katie austin, bbc news. 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. now it's time for a look at the weather with chris. it has been the warmest day of the year so far with temperatures reaching 3a in west london at both heathrow or northolt as well but got a change in the way for the weekend as rachelle moves in of the atlantic stop it's not that it's cold, it's just not as hot. 25, not as bad. the day ended with a bit of a bang as

well. thunder and lightning there in aberdeenshire. some of the storms we re aberdeenshire. some of the storms were intense. edinburgh was in the firing line. localised flooding from the intense downpours here. i will show you those thunderstorms. the lightning detected, you can see those storms have been working to the north—east of scotland. a few for northern ireland. one or two per northern england. those storms will be heading out into the northern north sea. a few showers following into northwest scotland it becomes dry. temperature is about 27 in parts of london. later on, 16 degrees so fresh air is on the way. certainly will feel a lot fresher for sunday. quite a bit of dry weather. sunny spells across much of southern and eastern england, across wales, eastern scotland but there's a lwa ys wales, eastern scotland but there's always risk of showers or lengthier out acts of rain across western scotla nd out acts of rain across western scotland but a few showers for the north—west of both england and

wales. where sunshine comes out, it's not going to feel warm. bridges up it's not going to feel warm. bridges up to 25 degrees but northern scotland, temperatures a bit disappointing through the day. still very hot across central europe. we could see temperature records through but ultimately, the heatwave in europe is beginning to moderate as the atlanticare continues to work its way, knocking the temperatures down. here in the uk, we start off the week with north—westerly winds. north—western scotland, england and wales, dry elsewhere with sunny spells coming and going. temperature rise, up to around 18 degrees. 16 for belfast, 22 for london but for most of the week, looking like a decent week. a lot of dry weather. sunny spells, temperatures across scotla nd sunny spells, temperatures across scotland and northern ireland, generally into the high teens and low 20s. low 20s to mid 20s and the

warmest areas. a lot of quiet weather to come over the next few days with sunshine but it's not going to be as hot as it was today. that is your weather.
