hello, i'm nuala mcgovern, this is outside source. borisjohnson is in scotland — but didn't get the welcome he was hoping for. booing. the uk's new prime minister is booed at bute house — and used the back door when he left. meeting with scotland's first minister there's been no love lost, and a host of brexit differences. police are investigating the latest us shooting — three people died, including a six year old boy, when a guman opened fire at a food festival in california. a five hour prison riot between rival gangs in brazil leaves more than 50 people dead. and trade talks between the us and china are hours away from resuming, is the cloud that's hanging over the global

economy about to lift? borisjohnson is in scotland where he's met with first minister nicola sturgeon and scottish conservative leader ruth davidson — who are both against a no—deal brexit. here he is with nicola sturgeon. one times journalist has captioned that image for us. "when someone says "we should catch up soon! !" and then they actually follow through". here's the close up view. and here's what that meeting sounded like — lots of booing as borisjohnson arrived. well, we can't know what was going through nicola sturgeon‘s head

but this is what she said after the meeting. behind on the bluff and bluster, this government and the path it's perceiving is dangerous, it's clear to me this government and the prime minister has said the uk on an inevitable path to know del brexit, the position it's taken makes it difficult to see how any deal could be struck with the eu and i think it's catastrophic for scotland and the whole uk. i made it clear to borisjohnson at my opposition at brexit and no—deal brexit and i made it clear to him that the people of scotla nd it clear to him that the people of scotland should chart their own scores “— scotland should chart their own scores —— chorus and choose their own future and i have been imposed on them. and here's what boris johnson has said. what we wanted to do was make it

absolutely clear that the backstop is no good, it's dad and has to go. it's got to go. but there is scope to do it's got to go. but there is scope todoa it's got to go. but there is scope to doa no it's got to go. but there is scope to do a no deal. the government is ramping up its preparations for a no—deal brexit. remember we are only 94 days away from the brexit deadline. we've shown you this countdown clock quite a lot over the past year or so on outside source — now it's counting down to the new deadline of october 31st. business lobbies are warning that neither the uk nor the eu are ready — and it's being reported that an extra £1 billion will be promised in the uk this week for no—deal planning. last month, borisjohnson said, on no deal, "i don't think that is where we are going to end up — i think it is a million—to—one against". contrast that with what the minister responsible for no—deal preparations said at the weekend. michael gove said the government is now "working on the assumption" of a no—deal brexit. here he is today.

we're going to do everything we can to make sure we can leave the european union on october 31st. there won't be any delays, we are determined to ensure that we leave on october 31st and it is myjob to make sure the country is ready. borisjohnson is reportedly now saying he won't meet with any eu leaders until they agree to remove the backstop. remember the backstop is an insurance policy to ensure there's no hard border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland. under the terms of the current withdrawal agreement, it would remain in place until the future relationship between the eu and uk is finalised, but critics fear it could become permanent — keeping the uk effectively inside the eu's customs union. nick eardley has more from edinburgh. i think the strategy now from boris johnson is to say luck, we are fully prepared for no deal, the uk is prepared for no deal, the uk is prepared to leave at the end of october without a deal if necessary, but at the same time, we did not

wa nt but at the same time, we did not want that to happen and the eu needs to get back at the table and think about renegotiating the backstop. time and time again the insurance policy for a hardboard or is exactly what boris johnson policy for a hardboard or is exactly what borisjohnson says he wants removed from the dl that's been agreed on got to say it's caused alarm bells here. nicola sturgeon after meeting with the prime minister said she now thinks mr johnson's strategy is taking the uk almost inevitably towards no deal, they had a lively discussion on whether that would be a bash lead to another scottish independent referenda and something she thinks it's more likely because of the approach taken by the uk government also interesting, you would expect conservative prime minister coming to an snp press minister at that there would be tense discussions. ruth davidson this afternoon yes he was conciliatory after but they are not on the same page when it comes

to brexit, she is very uncomfortable with the idea that common end of october, uk may leave it without a deal. so when at the harder days of borisjohnson prime deal. so when at the harder days of boris johnson prime is deal. so when at the harder days of borisjohnson prime is so far. rajdeep sandhu from bbc scotland has more from westminster. i think ithink in i think in terms of on no deal, it's interesting there are mixed messages coming from hand and his government because i'm his number ten specs press and we heard that actually he may not even talk to eu leaders at the whole issue of the backstop is not scrapped because he says he doesn't like it and once it gone in order to get a new deal, but from borisjohnson while he said he wants a gun, he has not stepped as far as that and said being i will not sit down and talk to them if it doesn't happen, also on the assumption that michael doug has talked about that

also the assumption is that going out on a no deal, borisjohnson today has said the aim is to try and get a dl, so he is almost trying to talk to different audiences at the same time in scotland that they did remain, and which would probably not well, i know dl, when the leader of the country is against it, to that audience he says we are trying to get a deal to another audience though, he's trying to make sure they are reassured that the uk will leave on the 31st of october. stay with us because i do want to turn to another aspect of this trip, that's the scottish independence angle and alluding to earlier we know she wa nts to alluding to earlier we know she wants to hold a second referendum and the second half of 2020 or earlier if there is a no—deal brexit and we played you that clip of people billing him, well, let me

show you all so these other protesters with this banner which you can see. let's go back to her for more. you now, i was listening to some who are saying that boris johnson could be a gift to nicola sturgeon and help her case for independence, how would you describe it? well, it does help her case for independent scotland. it plays into the narrative the fnp had been talking about for the last few yea rs, talking about for the last few years, that scotland is being ignored and voted remain and doesn't wa nt ignored and voted remain and doesn't want brexit therefore better for scotla nd want brexit therefore better for scotland to leave the uk and try on its own. until he helps nicola sturgeon in that way. we also saw from the not very warm welcome that he got his licence opposition. even the colleagues have worried in the past he's toxic at their forehand and he is not particularly popular

bear. so i think it does help with that narrative they would like to create that on the issue of second independence referendum, we know scottish government as ramping up and aiming to try and get one, i think what's interesting is that borisjohnson has not used language saying it's never happening when asked about it though he said he doesn't think it's right to have another one given that in 2014 it was called a once in a generation and lifetime referendum. so he hasn't fully will get out and said never, but it helps with the fnp case saying westminster ignores them. i think the nicola sturgeon, she's in a deposition at the minute because she can't keep having arguments with boris johnson because she can't keep having arguments with borisjohnson and the uk government i know dl and look tough, while on the other hand biding her time tough, while on the other hand biding hertime in tough, while on the other hand biding her time in getting my support for support scottish independence referendum because it seems she may not be able to win it yet and of course if you go for a second time, you're going to want to

make sure you can actually it. two children are among the three people killed at a shooting at a food festival in california. it happened here in the small town of gilroy. police say the gunman cut through a fence to evade metal detectors at the entrance. officers say he was a 19 year old man and he legally purchased the assault rifle in neighbouring nevada. he was shot and killed by officers. here's gilroy police chief scot smithee. the closest team of officers responded immediately. they were there engaging the suspect in less than a minute. the suspect was armed with an assault type rifle. and as $0011

with an assault type rifle. and as 50011 as with an assault type rifle. and as soon as he saw the officers, he engaged the officers and fired at them with that rifle. i had three offices that engaged the suspect. despite the fact that they were outgunned with their handguns against a rifle, those three offices we re against a rifle, those three offices were able to fatally wounded at suspect and the event ended quickly. among those killed was, six year old stephen romero — his family says he was shot while playing on a bouncy castle. one of the injured people is also in a critical condition. the fbi‘s craig fair has said the they're now looking for motives behind the shooting. our main concern is motivation ideological leanings and let the affiliated with any line or any group. it has to be rolled about undetermined at this point. many of the fairgoers have been speaking about the ordeal —

one tweet from @diannamoniqueee says "i had to hold my little sister in my arms as she was hysterically crying, saying "i'm afraid to die" as we were ducking on the floor for safety. i have never been so afraid in my life. if you don't think guns are an issue, please reconsider". many people were hurt or crushed as they tried to run away from the danger. these mobile phone pictures show the panic during the attack. as we heard from the police chief, officers were already at the event, and were there within 60 seconds. police helicopters were in the air. here we see the large number of armed police that were deployed — as they searched for a possible accomplice. the bbc‘s dave lee is in gilroy, where he's been speaking to police.

this attack was carried out with what police described as ak—47 light weapon second best weapon so when that fire is lots of shots quickly. and they know that it was bought in nevada, a state next to california where the gun laws are less strict than they are here. i think the gunman went there early this year bobby weapon and brought it here. eventually carrying out this attack. they also still are looking into reports that could be a second person involved an accomplice, the police say they have little information on that other than witness accounts and it's worth saying that in many of these mass shootings we hear reports they may be second people but rarely does it turn out to be the case. the police are being cautious all the same. stay with us on outside source — still to come... a shocking story from brazil... where a vicious five hour prison riot between rival gangs has left more than 50 people dead.

a london council tenant has been evicted from his flat after he illegally sub—let his home on aianb. toby harman, who'd used a false identity, was caught after officials found reviews on the accommodation website from users thanking him for their stay. he'll now have to re—pay more than 100,000 pounds of profits to the local authority. nickie aiken, who's the leader of westminster council, explained why it felt compelled to act. you have over 4000 people waiting for homes in westminster, and so when this gentleman was given this flight when this gentleman was given this flight several years ago, rather than live in it he decided to sublet it on air b&b and other platforms, and making hundreds of thousands of pounds of profit, so he stole from the public twice basically by not taking property that thousands of people would welcome and then making

money out of it. this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. our lead story is... the uk's new prime minister has met with scottish leaders nicola sturgeon and ruth davidson. borisjohnson was greeted by boos as he arrived in edinburgh. scotland's first minister accuses the prime minister of a dangerous approach to brexit. some of the other stories in the world service newsroom. officials in ethiopia say a new record has been set — with more than 200—million trees planted in one day. prime minister abiy ahmed lead the project, aimed at countering the effects of deforestation and climate change. the aim is to plant a total of four billion trees. internet users in cuba are allowed to run private wi—fi networks on the island from monday after the communist—run government decided to relax its tight restrictions. critics say the changes still don't go far enough,

and the price of getting online in cuba is still too expensive for most people. and it's official — thursday was the uk's hottest day ever. the highest temperature — 38.7 degrees celcius — was recorded in cambridge. it's taken a while to confirm the new record because, as you saw — the local weather station had written the temperature in chalk. more than 50 inmates have been killed in a riot at a prison in brazil. this was a really gruesome incident. it happened here, in the northern state of para. we've got some pictures of the aftermath. you can see security officers here gathering outside the jail and smoke coming from inside. this was an horrific instance of voilence even by the standards of brazilian jails which are notoriously violent. the authorities say 16 of those killed were decapitated in the fighting —

which took place between rival gangs. i spoke tojulia carneiro who's been covering the story from sao paolo. this lasted five hours and started early in the morning when breakfast was happening in the prison. the prisoners managed to invade an area where inmates from a rival criminal action where the paint, they held to present awards hostage and the riots started. they decapitated 16 prisoners and set fire to whatever they could find. the smoke from the fire asphyxiated the other ones who are locked inside to death. so it's are locked inside to death. so it's a very shocking case, we are having response from the government and —— government now, there was a meeting held now between minister ofjustice and other local authorities. they decided to transfer ten inmates that we re decided to transfer ten inmates that were carrying out these attacks to

maximum—security prisons and other states have for sale, where they are kept isolated. it's important to understand and prisons in brazil there are criminal factions but still managed to exert control and give orders so when they are transferred to maximum—security unit it's an attempt to shut them down and make them quite as they would be expected for a in prison. but will that work? i alluded to the fact that work? i alluded to the fact that the brazilian prisons can be violent violence are due i don't know how enough power they had to shut these games down from within prison. it has not worked so far, that's the standard response when such incidents happen, just transferring prisoners to maximum—security units and perhaps the one where write and won't manage to be connected to other gang members, but there are so many thousands of other areas that could fill in depositions and assume a leadership position. so we are

seeing this rivalry between these gangs escalate and prisons in brazil, and it's not to say this case is not isolated. we have seen cases like this happen over the past two years, there was 13 years ago where 130 two years, there was 13 years ago where130 inmates were killed in different prisons north brazil and just may 55 are killed, excitedly not much commotion and society had demanding more security for inmates who are in prisons and are held under that responsibility of the state and the ones who are suffering are the family members outside the presence demanding news about the victims inside trying to understand if their relatives were among the ones who were killed. neither side is backing down in hong kong, where police have again clashed with protesters. these are some of the scenes

from sunday night. pro—democracy protesters took to the streets for the eighth straight weekend. they marched and built barricades. police fired tears gas and rubber bullets at them and arrested 49 people. now the authorities in mainland china have come out and called for anyone who's broken the law to be swiftly punished. that's notable because it's coming directly from the hong kong and macau affairs office — which usually stays out of the territory's affars. here's the office's spokesman. the recent developments in hong kong, especially acts of violence by small number of radical activists had seriously undermined the hong kong prosperity and stability, seriously challenging rule of law and public order of hong kong. it seriously threaten the life and

property of hong kong residents. they also touch the bottom line at the principle of one country to assistance. that cannot be tolerated. central government proudly supports the chief executive, and supports the hong kong police in strict law enforcement. so beijing is making the point that hong kong's affairs are china's affairs. and while that is clearly the case, beijing's intervention today could stir up even more opposition in the territory. here's pro—democracy lawmaker claudia mo. my my personal take is that i am so worried that what happened in beijing today and this afternoon would actually help fan the fire of what is already being a tsunami of protests in hong kong. the way they say they would absolutely or rest dilute —— resolutely support carrie lam and the police force and trying to divide hong kong into two parts. remember, these demonstrations

started as protests against a bill that would have allowed for people to be extradited from hong kong to mainland china. but they've evolved into a wider movement calling for democratic reforms. let's hear from our reporter vincent ni. the sentiment and hong kong is divided. in the territory, there are lots of people who went on the streets as we had seen in the last three weeks, but there are also part of the population who are very annoyed by the protests and they think beijing is doing whatever they can to bring hong kong economic benefits. now, the number of these people, we are not sure how many, but certainly the sentiment in hong kong is very divided. so where do the protesters go from here?|j kong is very divided. so where do the protesters go from here? i think both sides need more strategies to go beyond what we see today. from the protesting side, the protests are hijacked by radicals who had seen are hijacked by radicals who had

seen the past week storming into legislature and storming into central government and offices, which from the chinese perspective is damaging to the dignity at the government. they will not tolerate that so that's why we see forceful response from beijing today by what's happening in hong kong. and for hong kong government, they need to come with a better way and strategy. is this what you want to see in hong kong, is that the future for this territory? because if you send troops to hong kong, that will be an estate meant to say that's the end of one country to assistance and beijing still wants to use this concept to attract people in taiwan but will it happen? would that be something that beijing is thinking about potentially sending troops?|j about potentially sending troops?” think in theory on hong kong basic law, article 14 that says that in a

matter of public order maintenance as well as disaster relief, at the hong kong government could request a central government to send troops to hong kong. but, this is what we see on paper and began, it's a last resort for beijing if they did so. that would be the end of the one country to systems if they did so, it'll be a huge international outcry and we saw what happened in 1989 june four following the crack down on that day, china had massive international outrage. they were sanctioned by international communities and i do not think they would think this would be something they want to go back to. let me take you to india, where conservationists are celebrating good news. the tiger population in india has increased to nearly 3—thousand. the tiger population in india has increased to nearly 3,000. that's up from just over 200,200

four years ago, and means india is now estimated to be home to 70% of the world's tigers. here's here's one wildlife protection expert, who spoke to us earlier. it's good news but a framed of getting too excited because i think we should remember they used three times as many traps as they used in 2014. bake covered a bigger area with the bigger teens, and tigers are very elusive. so i don't think all of these are additions. the problem is that lack of political will, despite what the honourable prime minister says. there is no evidence of a strong political will to secure a future for the tigers. and that is a huge concern. so the last four years, more projects have been approved by the environmental safeguard bodies. this is more than

ever before, and only 1.4% were turned away. and that's kind of a bit frightening. stay with us on outside source. hello. it's that time of day that we take a look at some interesting weather events happening around the world. and over the weekend, we had heavy showers and thunderstorms across central parts of north america. on the satellite image, you can see this line of cloud with a low pressure system with associated fronts that brought some very heavy rain and isolated tornadoes. now pushing its way further east, so tuesday you see heavy downpour pressing into the eastern parts of canada through the great lakes and down the mississippi valley. towards the east, we have fairly warm weather, so hot air still in charge. for the likes of atlanta towards new york, and at temperatures rising across central states as well, but it's not as hot as it's been recently. across california and the desert southwest, a touch cooler here. here is a look at cities across north america

for the next five days or so, in vancouver mostly dry for the next few days. showers clear from montreal and a dry end to the week. we have had heavy monsoon rains that brought flooding in mumbai and southern parts of pakistan. torrential downpour is in karachi through the day on tuesday. the rain not as heavy as it's been across india, but still we could see flooding for gujarat towards goa and heavy downpour is across southern parts of north india as well. that rain should clear from karachi through the middle part of the week, things like dry here. we will continue to see heavy showers and thunderstorms in mumbai over the next five days or so. there is potential we see a tropical storm farming and the south china sea. towards the north at that, and active weather find moving across the northeast of china and bringing heavy rain for the peninsula. now, this system may well move its way across south china sea, to the likes of northern vietnam, so flooding is possible for hong kong. and towards hanoi as well. further south, looking dry

for the bulk of indonesia. here is the outlook in shanghai. to the north of that storm system, things are looking dry with tiny spells. hong kong and hanoi both seeing heavy rain the next five days or so, and windy conditions as well. on to europe, and recently we have had record—breaking temperatures, but they are now a thing of the past. still heavy showers around on tuesday, but they are further east than we have seen recently. so across parts of sweden, norway stretching towards poland, belarus as well. heavy showers here. to the south and here, dry and quite story for greece, italy towards spain. madrid, about 31 degrees. windier for france, low pressure moves from the atlantic affecting north france and uk as well. we are going to see unsettled weather pretty much for this week in the uk, cooler than last week. certainly it looks like most heavy showers should ease away towards the latter part of the week, thursday and friday mostly dry. different feeling here in the uk, it's cooler and showery often with windy conditions as well. more details for the week ahead

are in half an hour.

hello, this is outside source. the uk's new prime minister is booed at bute house — and used the back door when he left. meeting with scotland's first minister there's been no love lost, and a host of brexit differences. police are investigating the latest us shooting — three people died, including a six year old boy, when a gunman opened fire at a food festival in california. was one of the kremlin‘s most vocal critics poisoned? alexei navalny‘s doctor says he may have been exposed to a toxic agent. president trump attacks two civil rights politicians — putting race back at the front

of us debate. and trade talks between the us and china are hours away from resuming — is the cloud that's hanging over the global economy about to lift? this is alexei navalny — russia's most prominent opposition activist and one of president putin's most vocal critics. he is being returned to prison in moscow — after being discharged from hospital. he had developed severe swelling and rashes on his neck, back, chest and wrists. the initial diagnosis was an allergic reaction, but one of his doctors said she thought he'd been exposed to a toxic agent. have a listen. translation: i am just back from seeing alexi.

i was trying to tell the doctors they cannot release him so soon after he has started recovering. he still has some residual symptoms. moreover we don't even know the results of the most basic tests and toxicology tests. nothing on this is ready yet. of course it is obvious to me that he was sent back to detention due to an order from above. in the last few hours, mr navalny made his first statement about the incident on his website. he doesn't completely rule out the possibility he suffered some sort of allergic reaction, but does suggest the authorities would be "stupid enough" to poison him while he was in prison. he is serving a 30—day sentence for calling this street protest that became violent at the weekend. moscow police detained over a thousand people, who had come out to demand transparent elections. mr navalny also said he's requested footage from surveillance cameras, to check if anyone entered his cell. here's olga ivshina with more.

the important question now is what happens to alexei navalny when he is back to his detention cell. the trouble is that he will quite likely, can again be in touch with a unknown agent that caused that harsh allergic reaction that brought him to the hospital. and as his doctor mentioned separately in comments to bbc russia, she is afraid that the second contact might be even more dangerous than the first one because it can cause some exaggerated reactions, such as anaphylactic shock, which can in a very negative scenario result in the death of the patient. why is that important? because alexei navalny is one of the most famous, charismatic and vocal critics of the current russian president, vladimir putin. alexei navalny was running for the position of moscow mayor during the previous elections and got nearly 30% of the vote, despite various troubles in running the campaign.

he was trying to bid to become russia's president but he was not allowed to register as a candidate. he was also harshly criticising various russian officials, including close allies of mr putin and his prime minister, dmitry medvedev. mishaps which happened to vocal critics of the kremlin, those mishaps can happen from time to time. for example, another opposition figure was harshly poisoned twice while he was in russia in the past few years and has struggled to recover. although no one knows how alexei navalny will be feeling in a few days when the result of medicine he has taken, his friends and supporters hope that he will overcome the troubles. donald trump is facing more

allegations of racism. this time this man is one target — elijah cummings — he represents a large portion of maryland's biggest city — baltimore. on saturday, the president called mr cummings' majority—black district a "disgusting, rat and "rodent—infested mess". the twitter tirade continued over the weekend — then this morning, the president added this man, civil rights campaigner reverend al sharpton, to his hit list. reverend sharpton was heading to baltimore to meet mr cummings — and trump denounced him as "a con man" who "hates whites & cops". let's hear more about

trump's newest targets. here's katty kay. donald trump went after women of colour, now it is two men, icons of america's civil rights movement. elijah cummings was born in 1951. one of seven children. his parents were poor sharecroppers. he was one of the first kids to attend an integrated public swimming pool. he had rocks and bottles thrown at him. a child's price for equal rights. now he is a congressman for baltimore, that saw race riots in 2015. he is also the powerful chairman of the oversight committee charged with investigating the white house, which makes him no friend of mr trump. we cannot have a president that plays the role of dictator. reverend al sharpton is a civil rights leader with a history of furiously attacking powerful white men. he has been there at all the big

recent racial in america. he advised president obama on race relations. he has a media platform and he has used it to take on mr trump. the president's description of baltimore echoed similar language he had used in the past to describe mostly—black districts. last week, we know he told these four congresswomen of colour to go back to the "crime infested" places they came from — and as the online news site the hill reported, in 2017 you can see he used those same words to describe congressman and civil rights activist john lewis' district. the repeated use of this word — "infested" — is something rev al sharpton talked about today. i know donald trump. he is not mature enough to take criticism. he cannot help it. somebody says something, he reacts. he is thin skinned and not mature that way. but he has a particular venom for blacks and people of colour. he does not refer to a ny and people of colour. he does not refer to any of his other opponents

01’ refer to any of his other opponents or critics as infested. let's take a look at the reaction. democrat house speaker nancy pelosi criticised the president's "racist attacks". mr trump hit back, again on twitter, there was "nothing "racist" about what he said, and that "dems "always play the race card when they are unable "to win with facts". we've seen a lot of press reaction from this fallout. the baltimore sun criticised the president in an editorial. and author and journalist jill abramson has written a book about how the american media covers donald trump. i'm joined by her now. how do you understand this latest

vociferous debate between the democrats and the white house on what is evolving? the way i interpret it is once again president trump has the entire press corps of the world focused on him and reacting to his words. as long as thatis reacting to his words. as long as that is what is being paid attention to, we are not talking about problems at the border, the economy, we are not talking about the environmental problems that his administration has done almost nothing about. it is a strategy of divide and distract. it is what he has used since inauguration day. what would you recommend then that democrats should do in response to tweets like this, because they would

say that they need to stand up to what they see as racism? the black vote is very important to the democratic party. they want that constituency to be pumped up and wanting to vote come november, therefore denouncing trump is effective in that, of course, their very words also motivate parts of trump's base, which is what he wants to do. it is complicated. do you believe, because we took a look at this word infested, as many other papers have as well, do you believe this recent spate of twitter back and forth is in fact mr trump positioning himself for 2020? part ofa campaign positioning himself for 2020? part

of a campaign strategy? it is awful and anybody with any degree of sense and anybody with any degree of sense and politeness is horrified by so many of his tweets. but, yes, it is pa rt many of his tweets. but, yes, it is part of his strategy. but to use the word infested is just part of his strategy. but to use the word infested isjust repulsive. just as, go back home, has historic connotations in the history of race in america, infested, is a word invoking rats, something that dictators have done going back forever. the image of rats was used by the nazis against the dues. will

this latest debate turn off the base of donald trump? nothing will turn off the base of donald trump, i am afraid. you do not think it well? i do not. trump has in his corner, fox news channel, which i am sure will defend this latest story. although he also had harsh words for fox news in the past few days as well so i am not sure anybody is completely immune. thank you very much for speaking to us. that is one of the stories that we have continued following over the past few days. let as a state with that united states.

the us—china trade war is perhaps the darkest cloud hanging over the global economy. but there is hope and it's to the chinese city of shanghai that everyone is looking because talks between the two sides are due to resume in a few hours after a nearly three month hiatus. the us has slapped tariffs on $250 billion of chinese goods over what president trump says are unfair trade practices. beijing wants those rolled back as part of any deal. however beijing has imposed tariffs on $110 billion of us goods but hasn't given the us much hope of greater protection for intellectual property rights. our correspondent michelle fleury is in new york. how would you describe the expectations when it comes to these

talks, about what might be achieved? the expectations are pretty low. look back to past trade talks. there was hope that maybe some breakthrough could happen, some of the loftier goals that the americans had when all of this started. you may recall there was this push for the trump administration wanted to see progress on enforcement of existing rules. they claimed that the chinese had been using, had joined the wto, but had not stuck to the rules of the organisation and they had been unfairly taking advantage of the global trading system and of america. they wanted better protections on intellectual property, an end to forced transfer of technology. all of this you hear less and less about, what, if anything, we are likely to see progress on is perhaps an agreement by the chinese to buy more american agricultural products, in return the chinese want to see the us back off

the threat of further tariffs, perhaps even remove some already in place, and also lift some of the restrictions on the chinese telecoms giant. we will have to wait and see what happens in the coming weeks, coming hours, i should say. thank you. "work on production line of boeing 737 max "not adequately funded". that's the claim a former boeing engineer has made to the bbc. the aircraft is currently grounded worldwide because of two crashes. the first in indonesia last year. and the second in ethiopia in march. altogether 346 people were killed.

the company has denied the claims that the 737 max's production wasn't funded properly and says it's committed to making it one of the safest aircraft ever to fly. richard bilton reports. the 737 max has been a commercial triumph. 5000 have been ordered. those sales helped to create a bonanza for shareholders. the chief executive also pocketed more than $70 million. but critics say boeing has taken its eye off the ball.“ you supercharge the incentives of top executives and tell them that theirjob is to get the stock price up, they are not going to pay the kind of attention they need to pay to ensuring they produce a safe product. and the box was not a safe plane. two brand—new aircraft crashed shortly after take—off. first in indonesia, and then in

ethiopia. the prime suspect in both crashes is boring's computer software. 346 people died. one of the stewards on the flight.” miss him. he always hugged me and gave me a kiss. i thought, did miss him. he always hugged me and gave me a kiss. ithought, did he suffer. the company may have been awash with cash but insiders say there is still pressure to keep on there is still pressure to keep on the production line. there was a lack of sufficient resources to do thejob in its entirety. my family will not fly on a 737 max. it is

frightening to see such a major incident because of a system that did not function properly or adequately. the company says its former engineers comments are not correct and that it did not cut corners on the max. it said it bala nces corners on the max. it said it balances investment and value to shareholders and that it always held true to values of safety, quality and integrity. but 346 people died on these killer planes. stay with us on outside source — still to come... nearly five years of single war in yemen, the situation is still desperate, the un has been there. the french parent company of the car—maker, vauxhall, says it could move all production from its factory at ellesmere port in cheshire, if brexit makes it unprofitable. over a thousand workers are employed there. coletta smith reports.

vauxhall, like much of the car industry have been warning of the implications of it no—deal brexit for some time, but today's comments are at their hardest yet. the boss says they have a southern european plant in mind to build the next generation of asked if they no deal makes building them here at ellesmere port and profitable. preparation has been done, we will be stepping that up, reaching out to sectors of businesses that do feel vulnerable and will be more affected. let us remember, the car sector has been affected by a range of other issues including the diesel situation and demand in china. the industry is certainly under pressure. on that is closing its swindon site, ford are to close their bridgend plants, and nissan are opting for more japanese production lines. car manufacturing is a competitive business. there is always a fight for the next contract and everyone here on the world knows how much is at stake. it is the kids i feel for,

there is nothing here for as then nothing for them. they are going to use brexit as an excuse to close it. it will be a huge blow to the community. the local mp says it feels that the government is not on the side of the uk workforce. this comes off the back of the new prime minister appointing a very right—wing cabinet who are hell—bent on leaving the eu without a deal on sist on leaving the eu without a deal on 31st of october. it is a clear warning to them that this will have dramatic consequences for this area. around 80% of the finished astras are shipped across year to europe, that makes this merseyside workforce more vulnerable than most.

the uk prime minister has met with nicola sturgeon and ruth davidson. the scottish first minister accuses the prime minister of a dangerous approach to brexit. wet as turn to yemen. —— let as turn. the head of the united nations development programme has told the bbc the humanitarian situation in yemen is still desperate. the civil war there has raged for nearly five years, with houthi rebels backed by iran fighting the internationally recognised government. achim steiner has just returned from a five—day visit to yemen. he told the bbc the conflict has taken a terrible toll on the country. there are different ways of describing the situation, but yemen is the largest humanitarian crisis in the world, 80% of the population

need humanitarian support. people on the brink of famine. the return of cholera in a way that we had hoped would not occur. millions of people are not able to go to school. my encounters with many of the people that i met, there is a mixture of desperate resilience and a feeling hope that somehow this conflict will come to an end. the economy has virtually collapsed. one of our recent reports that was published by the united nations development programme, the estimate that yemen has been set back by over 20 years infour has been set back by over 20 years in four years of conflict. mr steiner visited some of the main flashpoints in the war, including the capital sanaa, and also the city of hodeida, which is a key port which both sides have fought to control.

mr steiner told us the ceasefire agreement is now the focus of peace efforts. the hodeida agreement is in part being implemented. iwould the hodeida agreement is in part being implemented. i would argue, and it was also the reason for my visit, there is now a mission permanently present. we have begun to collaborate with the port authorities in repairing infrastructure. this port city is both a gateway for yemen in terms of importation of goods and humanitarian supplies, three quarters traditionally went through that port, it is also a gateway for peace, that is why so much of our focus as the united nations is on making that hodeida agreement components work. just on the day that i travelled out of hodeida to shells exploded close to our offices which are part of the so—called non—conflict zone. we are operating

under difficult conditions but the window of opportunity remains open. let's leave you with some pictures that have come into the newsroom in the past hour from florida. this is a pilot whale, being taken back out to sea — three whales are currently being taken out to sea in the gulf of mexico, where they will be released. two other whales are being taken to marine specialists for additional care. earlier this group of whales beached itself. and members of the public worked with coast guard officers and experts from the local aquarium to keep them cool — putting up tents to protect them from the sun — just like humans, whales run the risk of getting sunburnt. that is something i did not know. experts do not know why they beached themselves but now they hope to

reunite them with the ocean. hopefully all will go well for them. that is all for now. thank you for joining us. last week we were looking at the extreme heat. this week our focus is on potentially heavy and thundery rain. all tied in with this area of low pressure, the driving force behind our weather through the working week. isobars are close together. not just heavy working week. isobars are close together. notjust heavy and thundery showers but windy conditions as well. showers on tuesday across southern and south—west england and we are to become more widespread across england and we are is as the day wears on, pushing into southern scotland, northern ireland. showers for northern scotland. these showers will bring a lot of rain and a short amount of time. gusty winds, 30—40 mph, 50 mph in some southern and

western coasts. a cooler feel for tuesday compared to monday. apart from some eastern counties. by the time we get to wednesday that area of low pressure is moving further north and east words. things are starting to turn a bit drier across southern and south—west england and wales. showers mainly concentrated through the midlands, east anglia, northern england and into scotland. where we see these showers there will be thunder and lightning and torrential rain. 20—30 millimetres. where we have seen flooding through the weekend, that could be exacerbated through the middle part of the week. thursday, this area of low pressure starting to move to the north sea but still close by, areas that saw a lot of heavy showers through wednesday will probably see them again on thursday. from north wales, through the midlands, east

anglia, into northern england and southern and central scotland seen the most showers. wales, southern and south—west england, northern ireland, a drier day, more in the way of sunshine. higher temperatures. as we go into friday most of the showers start to ease. still if you sharp ones on eastern coast, one or two for the western isles, many having a dry day. warm spells of sunshine. for most of as through saturday, a ridge of high pressure will keep things mainly dry. to the south—west of the uk another area of low pressure, likely to bring more cloud across wales and south of england, there may be showers later in the day but for most on saturday it will be dry with good spells of sunshine. warm, temperatures for many in the low to mid 20s celsius. sunday, most of us

mainly dry but for northern ireland, wales, south—west england, low pressure moving further north and east bringing showers and spells of rain. ahead of the spells of sunshine. temperatures perhaps lower compared to saturday. next week, the jet stream, that winds high up in the atmosphere, staying to the south of the uk. that will allow areas of low pressure to move between this area of high pressure across greenland, and this area of pressure. likely to bring wetter and windier weather for a time. pressure. likely to bring wetter and windier weatherfor a time. the outlook is unsettled.

tonight at ten, borisjohnson says he's "very confident" a new brexit deal can be reached, with the european union. in scotland, jeers from onlookers, despite his message that there was "scope for a new plan." we are very confident that, with goodwill on both sides, two mature political entities, the uk and the eu, can get this thing done. behind all the bluff and bluster, this government and the path it is pursuing, i think, is dangerous. and a warning that vauxhall‘s car plant could close at ellesmere port if profits collapse after brexit. with the pound falling to its lowest level for more than two years,
