i believe that we will leave sooner with me than with boris or anyone else because i'm the best person to arrange a deal. the shadow chancellor, john mcdonnell conceded he's frustrated by labour's lack of progress on its brexit position while the head of the unite union asks thatjeremy corbyn is given more time. what i have been trying to say is we need to move now and jeremy said a month ago we are going to put this issue back to the people. i don't believe there is a panic and my message to everyone panicking, stop putting pressure onjeremy corbyn. electric cars must make lower noise while travelling at lower noise while travelling at lower speeds. england play india in a crucial world cup group stage game at edgbaston.

—— new rules mean electric cars must now make a noise — at lower speeds england play india in a crucial world cup group stage game at edgbaston. and, coming up at half past 12 — click is in arizona finding out how ‘artificial trees' are being developed to suck carbon out of the air. president trump has become the first serving president to step foot inside north korea — after a historic meeting with kim jong—un in the demilitarised zone on the korean border this morning.this is the moment the two men met at the border. after handshakes and a brief chat, president trump was welcomed across the border by the north korean leader. the event has been presented by the white house as an impromtu meeting and some critics have dismissed it as pure political theatre. but there will be hopes that it will pave the way for future constructive talks. this is the third time the pair have met, although their last meeting

in vietnam ended abruptly, without any progress being made. well, kim jong—un was the first to speak — here's what he had to say. translation: president trump has just walked across the demarcation line. that made him the first us president to visit our country. i believe, just looking at this reaction, this is an expression of his willingness to elimnate all the unfortunate past and open a new future. this is what president trump had to say in response. i just want to say that this is my honour. i didn't really expect it. we were injapan for the 620. we came over and i said, "hey, i'm over here, i want to talk to chairman kim", and we got to meet, and stepping across that line was a great honour. a lot of progress has been made. a lot of friendships have been made, and this in particular has been a great friendship, so i just want to thank you. it was very quick notice and i want to thank you. there were further pleasantries when the pair had a sitdown meeting back on the southern side of the border.

a further meeting took place after the cameras left, before they re—emerged about an hour later along with president moon of south korea. well, before president trump departed for washington, he gave a speech at the osan airbase in south korea. he was keen to highlight the historical significance of what went on this morning. we had a very productive meeting. i outlined the incredible prosperity that awaits north korea when this whole thing gets settled. i have been talking about this for a long time but that is a country with tremendous potential. and i have had a good relationship with chairman kim. you see what is happening, it's been a lot different. they were giving us a great briefing right at the dmz and said it was so different before we had the big summit in singapore. it was really hostile and you understand it better than anybody. since our first meeting in singapore we got along and we had a great kind of feeling.

when you go back home you will see tonight on television, you will see it whenever you see it. today there are so many forms of looking at things. it's hard to believe. as soon as you pick one another when it comes up in the first one is obsolete whichever when you look at you will see i actually stepped in with chairman kim. i stepped into north korea. and they say that is a very historic moment and i think it is a historic moment a very good moment. he asked me would you like to do it? i said it would be my honourand we did. we went over the line and turned around and everybody was so happy.

and many people, i know this, in korea where they were literally in tears, crying. it's a big thing. borisjohnson has said he would be ready to increase government borrowing if he became prime minister. mrjohnson said the borrowing would fund education, policing and infrastructure projects. i think donald trump knows that this is history in the making and people will rememberfor is history in the making and people will remember for decades when the american president stepped over the border and then the two of them coming across the border to sit down with the president of south korea in a friendly atmosphere to talk about peace and potential nuclear disarmament on the peninsula here. the united states says we are now going to move to these talks, at least preliminary talks, to get that whole process going again and move

towards denuclearisation. but really are we any closer to denuclearisation today? that some a nalysts denuclearisation today? that some analysts have argued that things at the other way around. some serious north korea watchers think this is the first stage towards washington actually recognising north korea as actually recognising north korea as a nuclear armed state. then again you have presidents moon of south korea who says there is no path towards peace other than dialogue and for that reason he has welcomed this impromptu, we are led to believe it impromptu, meeting with kim jong—un. he came to believe it impromptu, meeting with kimjong—un. he came to power here and this landslide victory saying he was going to steer this country towards dialogue with the north and for that reason he would argue that this has been the right path to take because despite there being no denuclearisation at least there is

less tension and less talk of war on the korean peninsula and there was just a few years ago. this has been a long process of a tempting to engage with north korea, going back before kim jong—un was leader and his father was leader. this seemed to be areas of approach meant and then something triggers lockdown again and business links get shut down and people are not talking to each other and there are more missile tests. how do south koreans read it as a journey? is it a journey that ultimately for them ends with reunification are a journey that really ends with simply a better understanding with what is effectively in the last 60 years a different country? i think that depends in part on what generation

you are from. younger people here are not that interested necessarily in reunification any more although the official position on both north and south korea is to achieve that in the long run. but there is also a big argument here as to whether or not engagement with north korea is the right way to go. there is a lot of political debate about this and president moon was elected to try to steer away from isolation to more engagement. that is the face we are in right now. just think, a few yea rs in right now. just think, a few years ago we had donald trump and kim jong—un calling each other little rocket man and dotard. now donald trump goes on twitter and says i am going to be at the dmz tomorrow and next thing they shake hands and kim jong—un has

tomorrow and next thing they shake hands and kimjong—un has come down to the demilitarised zone and they are shaking hands and acting as if they are very good friends for this isa they are very good friends for this is a genuine friendship are not. that is been quite a process in recent yea rs that is been quite a process in recent years and some people criticise donald trump and say he caused the crisis in the first place and then unpick some of the hostility he was the setting up anyway. nevertheless, we are in a situation now where people are not talking about war on the korean peninsula and are talking about talks. i think for many in south korea they would welcome that sort of situation. thank you very much for being with us.

borisjohnson has said he would be ready to increase government borrowing if he became prime minister. mrjohnson said the borrowing would fund education, policing and infrastructure projects. it comes as his rival for the conservative leadership, the foreign secretary, jeremy hunt, appeared to be toughening his stance on brexit in an effort to win over supporters. i spoke to political correspondent tom barton earlier today... he has been talking this morning in an interview with the sunday times about the divorce bill, the cost of leaving the eu which has been agreed by theresa may and her negotiating team at £39 million. he has said that he would be willing to not pay all of that. he would insist on keeping some of that if britain ended up leaving with no deal. 0n the andrew marr show he was asked about his attitude to no deal would be willing to follow through on.

but in the end if the only way to leave the european union is without a deal then i would do that. and we would make a success of it and protect the union but we would have to be very sensitive to the concerns that people like david mundell raised. it would not be popular in scotland. i can't understand how it could be the union first every time and endanger that by going for a no—deal brexit. surely one would endanger the other. it is not a question of choosing one or the other. it is a question of choosing a prime minister who has the capability to deliver both and if you sent to brussels someone who can negotiate a deal that can get through parliament then you will not have a no deal situation and you reduce those risks. but i am also very clear that we will leave the european union come what may and i will deliver that. if that happens i will do it

in a way that protects our union because it is absolutely vital we do. jeremy hunt campaigned for remain in the referendum and very keen to toughen up his apparent stance on brexit to appeal to pro—brexit tory party members. boris johnson has been talking about his economic proposals and in particular about his commitments to lower taxes and to spend more on infrastructure. he was asked whether he would be willing to borrow more money order to do that. if you look at february alone the chancellor's revenues exceeded his expenditures. if you look at different months you are in deficit. there is cash now available.

are you prepared to see borrowing go up? at the moment the headroom is available and we intend to use it and i also think you can do some great things to stimulate economic growth. are you prepared to see borrowing go up? if it is borrowing to finance a great infrastructure project and there is the opportunity to borrow at low rates and do things for the long—term benefit of the country we should do them. don't forget, in this country we spend about £250 billion on public procurement per year of one kind or another. don't tell me there are not significant savings to be made in the way that we spend that money. you are prepared to see borrowing go up? i am prepared to borrow to finance certain great objectives but overall we will keep fiscal responsibility and keep going with the general trajectory of ensuring this country pays its way and lives within its means but you can do that

with some sensible tax cuts that will stimulate growth, stimulate enterprise and gets more revenue in. it sounds like borisjohnson's have cake and eat it strategy has survived a little longer. it has been a difficult week for the labour party. if that was not this very high—profile contest going on in the conservative party we might pay a bit more attention to what the opposition is up to. a big row in the labour party over what the position on brexit should be. this morning we have had to ofjeremy corbyn's closest lieutenants publicly taking very different positions. john mcdonnell, the shadow chancellor said today that not only does he think that the labour party position is going to almost certainly become more backing another referendum,

he thinks they should be back backing remain on that as well. jeremy corbyn said we are moving towards a decision on this. we've all agreed we have to go back to the people. of course we want a general election but we have to go back to the people on any deal or no deal and most probably in a referendum. the discussion is about what attitudes labour should take and i have said publicly i would vote remain and i campaigned for the discussion is about what attitudes labour should take and i have said publicly i would vote remain and campaign for remain. 0n the other side of the argument you have len mccluskey, leader of the unite union. john mcdonnell says party needs to change its position very quickly and len mccluskey says something very different. i don't believe there is a panic and my messages do not panic and stop putting pressure onjeremy corbyn.

but if he changes position and goes for a referendum, what do you do? the position of the cabinet 100% as they wanted general election. you have got to wait to see because anything can happen. and the reality is, that is why i am saying calm down, there is no panic. let's discuss the situation. len mccluskey saying to john mcdonnell‘s point don't panic, the labour party needs to move much more slowly towards whatever position it adopts. but this is a live issue in the party and one which is splitting notjust the leadership but the ranks.

wimbledon starts tomorrow and there's no andy murray in the men's singles so they'll be plenty of attention on britain's current number one kyle edmund. in an exclusive interview, our sports correspondent david 0rnstein joined edmund on a tour of his favourite football club — liverpool — and found out that edmund is more nervous watching football than he is playing tennis. there is a point you really have to start believing it if you want to do it. kyle edmund has lofty ambitions. hejoined me on a visit to liverpool.

the bottom line is you are never consider great or good in people's minds without silverware — i think that is the nature of sport. you think of all those guys winning trophies who have been so consistent throughout these years. there is a time when they will be coming out of it and there is a gap to be filled and it is down to me to do it. born in south africa but raised in yorkshire he has been a lifelong liverpool fan. there is a gap to be filled and it is down to me to do it. born in south africa but raised in yorkshire he has been a lifelong liverpool fan. and who better to get advice from than the man who has guided the reds to a sixth european title? my father was a tennis coach and i played a lot of tennis as a child. one of the first things on my bucket list hen i had my break was going to wimbledon once and having strawberry with a cream and stuff like that. everyone turns on the tv for that time of year and the first name to go to is the british number one and that is where the expectation is. andy has done it for so long and done very well. it almost shows how well he did

cope with it and how much sort of pressure and expectation was on him. now it is me and it's my turn. in his iii—year career andy murray reached the top of the world rankings. kyle edmund has a highest position of 14 and of the world rankings. kyle edmund has a highest position of 14 and seeded 30th at wimbledon. edmund made last year's australian open semifinals but age 2a he has plans to go further. a lot more nervous i am watching football than playing tennis. going out on centre court you're obviously nervous and excited but you know you're in control of what you are doing and you have done it so many times. when you are a footballer you are out of control and you have just got to watch and hope. he will also hope not to be hampered by a recent knee injury. the focus is solely on tennis for now. and maybe one day when your career is done and dusted you might be back on the kop is a season ticket holder. i'd have been waiting so long i don't know if i had the chance to get one. as a wimbledon champion you mightjump a few places

on the waiting list. we will see. that's all the sport for now. just a reminder that the austrian grand prix gets under way at two o'clock this afternoon. there's full coverage of the race across the bbc sport website, bbc radio five live and five live sports extra, plus live digital coverage on the bbc sport app. breaking news, following up on the meeting between donald trump and kim jong—un, this is from the vatican and the reaction from the pope. he saysin and the reaction from the pope. he says in the last few hours we saw in korea a good result of a cultural encounter. i salute the protagonists with the suggestion it be a further step on the road to peace not only for that peninsula but for the good of the world. he made those remarks as he delivered his weekly address at st peter's square in rome praising donald trump and kim

the mp carolyn harris spoke to my colleagues on bbc breakfast about her personal experience of struggling to cover the costs after losing her son martin. the welsh government introduced children fund within six months may and scotland came aboard somewhat lighter and northern ireland and now we it across the united kingdom.

can you tell me about the tragic circumstances of losing your son? i was a dinner lady at the time and my husband was a manual worker on the railway. we lost him in 1989 in a road accident, completely unexpected and be given the best funeral we could and within three weeks of that funeral we had the bill which at the time was for £1750. and we just didn't have the money. the local community had a whip round and give us £1000 and then my husband went to the bank and borrowed £750 and that's how we paid for the funeral. more people in the uk are now managing their bank accounts on mobile apps on their telephones, rather than through internet banking. a report on the future of digital banking says that this year 25 million customers are using their mobiles to run their accounts. the proportion of customers using app banking is expected to continue to rise over the coming years, reaching 71% by 202a. we are seeing all the groups moving towards mobile banking including retired individuals. 0ne towards mobile banking including retired individuals. one of the interesting thing happening as previously when people were moving to digital banking they might have moved from branch to internet banking first of all in either the

all new electric vehicles must be fitted with a noise—emitting device — similar to the sound of a traditional engine — to alert other road users to their presence. the european union rules follow concern that vehicles without a petrol or diesel engine are too quiet, putting pedestrians, cyclists and other vulnerable road users at risk because they do not realise they are approaching. katy austin reports. as well as being better for the environment, for some drivers the quietness of electric cars is part of their attraction. it is fairly busy today and you can hear all the traffic, but if it was electric it would be difficult. for more vulnerable pedestrians, including john and his guide dog, it is a problem. stepping out across the road with your guide dog is something i might do, and if suddenly a vehicle appears out of nowhere when an engine is started up, so yes it is very difficult to make a safe decision to cross the road when you can't hear a vehicle. some electric models already make a sound. from tomorrow, eu rules mean new electric and hybrid models must have a sound producing system fitted, and from 2021 that will apply to all new cars. the uk government backs the idea for safety reasons, and says it won't create too much noise.

i don't think it is going to create any unnecessary noise pollution. the reality is that this device will only be active when the vehicle is travelling at 12 miles an hour or less, so very low speeds. it will switch itself off when the vehicle travels faster than that. john says it would be good if all electric vehicles had if all electric vehicles have an acoustic system that worked all the time, but says the new rules are a good start to making roads safe for everyone as technology develops. now the weather with sarah. if you're not a fan of the humidity we had yesterday and the heat you will be pleased to hear today is much fresher. 0ne be pleased to hear today is much fresher. one or two showers around the north—west of the uk but it will feel fresher and less humid and not as as yesterday. still a few showers to come today across parts of west scotla nd to come today across parts of west scotland and one or two in northern ireland and the far north of england. further south in england and wales dry with long spells of sunshine and highs between 17 degrees and 25 celsius. this evening clyde degrees and 25 celsius. this evening clyd e a cross degrees and 25 celsius. this evening clyde across the north west half of the country and heavy showers for a time across northern and western scotland. a few showers in north—west and northern ireland. more clear and dry elsewhere and much more comfortable for sleeping with them it is down to 11 degrees
