hello and welcome to bbc news. president trump has said he is abandoning his plan to host the 2020 g7 summit at his florida golf resort. it comes after democrats and others said the decision was evidence of the president misusing his office for personal gain. in a series of tweets, mr trump said he would drop the plan which was announced on thursday. he cited what he called the "crazed and irrational hostility" from democrats and the news media. brett samuels is the white house reporterfor the hill. i asked him why the president has backed down. this is certainly a bit of a shakeup for a saturday night, the president making some big news here. he, you know, he put himself in a difficult position by choosing to host the g7 summit next year at his own family property near miami. democrats, as you mentioned,

had obviously been piling on with the criticism, accusing him of attempting to use his office to profit and to feed his family's company with brand exposure and with monetary gain. and even some republicans had been, you know, uneasy about the decision and pretty open that it was not good optics, even if they were not willing to speak out in quite as strong terms as democrats. so it was really mounting, kind of, from all sides. we'd seen some foreign leaders sort of raise some red flags about this decision. so it was becoming a bit untenable and we saw the president, as he does not often do, he caved in here to the criticism. is there daylight late now between the president and some of his republican allies, this comes a day after mitch mcconnell put distance between himself and the president on syria. yeah, it's a good point. you know, that's a sort of the other aspect of this announcement, when they decided to share that

doral would host the g7 is it came at a time when the white house was grappling with a number of issues where it's putting republicans in difficult spots to defend the president. you mention syria, as much as any issue we have seen in the last three years republicans have been very willing to break with the president on his foreign policy in syria, speaking out against it, calling it a grave mistake. and on top of that you have the impeachment enquiry where there are new revelations coming out about that almost daily the republicans have to answer for. so we are seeing a sort of confluence of events here that make it difficult for republicans to find present a unified front. so we will see how long continues for. but it's certainly a concerning trend for the white house. one of your colleagues in the washington news media has said that "this is a moment of agility, potentially a weakness for the president". would you see it that way?

yes, certainly it's a tenuous time for his presidency. you know, the impeachment enquiry has really added a sense of urgency to kind of everything that's happening and a sense of peril to a lot of his decisions and it reallyjust kind of shines a microscope on all these decisions. so when you have self—inflicted wounds like mick mulvaney going to the podium at the white house and, you know, announcing that doral, the president's property, will host the g7 in some saw as a very brazen attempt to enrich the brand or when he seemed to admit and then later walked back his comments about tying ukraine aid to the president's request for an investigation, you know, is a very tough time in the white house and it has certainly not made it easier on itself with some of these announcements. the president of the european council, donald tusk, has confirmed he's received a formal request from borisjohnson to delay brexit for three months. mr tusk said he would start consulting eu leaders on how to respond. mrjohnson also sent a second letter telling european leaders that a further brexit delay

would be a mistake. he was forced to ask for a delay after mps voted not to approve his dealfor the uk to leave the eu until all the legal steps had been completed. here's our political editor, laura kuenssberg. before it was official, the moves in the middle, then the cheers on the right... order!!! ..showed borisjohnson was thwarted. the ayes to the right, 322. murmurs the noes to the left, 306. cheering by a margin of 16, mps said not never to his deal, but not today, not yet. so the ayes have it. the ayes have it. unlock! he's now obliged by law now to ask the eu for a delay, but he'll kick and scream. i will tell our friends and colleagues in the eu exactly what i have told everyone in the last 88 days that i have

served as prime minister, that further delay would be bad for this country, bad for our european union, and bad for democracy. warnings of big trouble, though, if he wants to frustrate the law. today is an historic day for parliament, because it said it will not be blackmailed by a prime minister who is apparently prepared once again to defy a law passed by this parliament. any failure of a prime minister who thinks he's above the law, well, prime minister, you will find yourself in court. from early this morning, this was always going to be a huge and fraught 2a hours. not a queue for a saturday match, but for parliament. would mstust rush headlong into more confusion? the tensions torn by the referendum in plain view. but many of them agonising.

genuinely, wondering what the best thing to do. even stretching family ties. for the prime minister, though, only one aim. to try to force this to a conclusion, any way he could. statement, the prime minister. mr speaker... today this house has a historic opportunity to show the same breadth of vision as our european neighbours, the same ability and resolve to reach beyond past disagreements by getting brexit done. decrying attempts by mps to postpone saying yes or no legally to the deal, until all the laws that go along with it are passed too. a further delay is pointless, expensive, and deeply corrosive of public trust. labour resistant not just to the deal... this government cannot be trusted, and these benches will not be duped. ..but denying too borisjohnson any

chance to move forward. labour is not prepared to sell out the communities that we represent. and we will not back this sell—out deal. just as the former prime minister found though, there is a range of opposition parties who will rage against brexit. a deal that would see scotland shafted by this united kingdom government. today, hundreds of thousands of people will be outside demanding a final say in a people's vote. how could plaid cymru ever support his billionaires' brexit? this deal takes a wrecking ball to our social and environmental standards. and without his northern irish allies in board he couldn't be sure of the numbers. this will do a great deal of damage to the union. look though, who is coming to help.

with a joke? i have a distinct sense of deja vu. laughter. and a rebuke to those who voted against her, now planning to do the same to borisjohnson. remember, though, once upon a time, that included him. when this house voted overwhelmingly to give the choice of our membership of the eu to british people, did we really mean it? i think there can only be one answer to that and that is yes, we did mean it, because if this parliament did not mean it, then it is guilty of the most egregious con trick on the british people. but as a sprinkling of labour mps who want this done... crowds who want another referendum are delighted, that the delay gives them a new chance to stop brexit, but frustration and nerves on the other side.

the prime minister's allies today wanted it at least to be the beginning of the end, a conclusion. but look at this. mps and ministers protected by the police from anti—brexit protesters on their way out. chanting: shame on you, shame on you! there's nothing final about what has happened today. animosity still all around. laura kuenssberg, bbc news, westminster. our europe editor, katya adler is in brussels with reaction from there. the fact that the prime minister has an accompanying letter tonight, the fact that the prime minister has sent an accompanying letter tonight, expressing again his opposition to an extension, that will help eu leaders drag their feet a little bit. first and foremost they are going to look to the prime minister to make good on his promise to them, just two days ago here in brussels, that their newly negotiated brexit deal would definitely pass through parliament. and time, relatively speaking, is on borisjohnson and the eu's side, because the brexit deadline is not today, it is at the end of the month under eu law. and eu leaders want to keep pressure on mps, they want to help focus the mind before they say yes you absolutely have a lot of time.

in fact if they want to do, eu leaders could hold their emergency brexit summit to decide a new extension even on the morning of the 31st of october. but all of that said, if push comes to shove and time is running out, no deal looks like the only option, then after all these years, two prime ministers, two brexit deals, i cannot see eu leaders at this point closing the door in the uk's face. i think at that point they are likely to grant another extension but probably as short as possible and they will want to know what is for. is it to pass final legislation, to hold a second referendum, a general election or even a referendum on their nearly signed a general election or even a referendum on their newly signed off brexit deal? kurdish fighters have accused the united states of failing to monitor a ceasefire in north—east syria, where the kurds have been besieged by turkish troops. for its part, turkey has accused kurdish militia of breaking the truce. meanwhile, a medical convoy managed to reach the syrian border town

of ras al—ain, after being blocked by the fighting. gareth barlow has more. after a day's wait, ambulances return from the syrian—turkish border, bringing 30 injured people and four bodies as clashes between turkey and the kurds continue. translation: we were able to reach the hospital and we were told that in the city there were many wounded and many people under the rubble. a fragile ceasefire is in force despite sporadic fighting. but kurdish fighters have accused the us, which brokered the deal, of failing to monitor it. warning of possible ethnic cleansing. meanwhile, turkey has threatened to resume fighting if kurdish forces don't withdraw from the border. translation: if it works, it works. if it doesn't, the minute those 120 hours expire we will continue from where we left off

and keep crushing the heads of those terrorists. as civilians escape the violence, turkey's working to create a so—called safe zone along its frontier with syria. ankara considers the kurdish ypg, allies of america in the fight against islamic state, as terrorists. it wants to force them from the border as says the group has links to insurgents in turkey. for now, these families have graves to mourn by. but if they're displaced the graves could be lost, just like the lives. gareth barlow, bbc news. let's get some of the day's other news. at least 15 people have died and i3 are missing following the collapse of a dam in siberia. the dam, located on the seiba river, burst after heavy rain, flooding cabins where workers lived. a criminal investigation has been opened over allegations the dam

violated safety regulations and president putin has ordered officials to provide assistance. thousands of protesters in lebanon have taken to the streets of the capital beirut for a third day, demanding the government resign over its handling of the country's financial crisis. president aoun‘s government says it has agreed a new budget that won't include additional taxes and it's promised a solution to the crisis. stay with us on bbc news, still to come: after another day of brexit drama in westminster, what next? we look at what might happen in the days and months ahead. a historic moment that many of his victims have waited for for decades. the former dictator in the dock, older, slimmer, and, as he sat down, obedient enough.

dawn, and as the sun breaks through the piercing chill of night on the plain outside korem, it lights up a biblical famine, now, in the 20th century. the depressing conclusion, in argentina today, it's actually cheaper to paper your walls with money. we've had controversies in the past with great britain. but as good friends, we've always found a good and lasting solution. concorde bows out in style. after almost three decades in service, an aircraft that enthralled its many admirers for so long taxis home one last time. this is bbc news, the latest headlines:

president trump has scrapped plans to host next year's g7 summit at his florida golf resort — after critics claimed he was misusing his office for personal gain. britain's prime minister, borisjohnson, has written to the european union asking for a further delay to brexit. but he's told eu leaders he thinks the move is a mistake. so things are looking more complicated for boris johnson. our political correspondent, ben wright, has been looking at what might happen in the days and months ahead. ministers never tire of saying it's time to get brexit done, but leaving the eu was always going to be a hugely complex and time consuming process, and it is farfrom being over. this is how the next few days and even years might unfold. borisjohnson and the eu have agreed a new withdrawal agreement — the terms of divorce. the prime minister wanted mps

to approve it in principle today, but they haven't. and so, after this setback for the government, it needs to change tack again. next week ministers will publish the withdrawal agreement bill — that is the legislation which puts the deal into law. expect an early battle over its timetabling, as well as its content. there will be many votes over many days, and the government may even ask mps to back the brexit deal in principle again, as soon as monday. the government still wants the bill to be law by october 31st and for the uk to leave the eu then, but after today all that could slip. let's look even further ahead. a whole new phase of brexit will begin, if and when the uk leaves the eu with a deal. a transition period, during which little actually changes. this is the time both sides are meant to hammer out their future relationship — on trade, security, and more. ministers will set out the negotiating aims to parliament, and then the talking with brussels begins again. this transition period will last until the end of december 2020, but could be extended

for another two years, if both sides agree. some tory mps hate that idea, and today borisjohnson said he wouldn't want that either, but complex trade deals can take several years to negotiate. the deal mps are arguing about now sets out how the uk leaves the european union, but explains relatively little about what comes next. that will be the focus of wrangling and negotiation for a long time yet. after two days of violent protest the general in charge of security has announced a curfew in the capital. the president has also announced the suspension of a planned rise in public transport verse which sparked the protest. earlier the military was deployed onto the streets of the capital to help police control the protest. maria ines fernandez is in santiago and she told us how the curfew is affecting residents.

well, from my apartment all you can hear is some sirens, sounds from the police and people still protesting, despite the curfew. everyone should be at home but not all of them are home. they are still protesting. maria ines, does it sounds like most people are still awake in chile, in santiago? yes, absolutely. i do not think people are going to get to bed anywhere near soon. i saw earlier, you were playing some videos and it showed people banging saucepa ns, a cacerolazo, as you say in spanish. yeah, this is what we do here. and what does that signify, when people are banging saucepans? it means that we are all fed up. it does not really matter what is your position or what your political position is, we really want the government to pose a solution other than take our military to the streets.

so it is very unusual, i would say, that the last protests of that sort were around 2011, when the same president was in charge and he was also sending police to the students. that was a very hard time but today is by far worse. the president has declared a state of emergency and he has sent the army into the streets. when you and your friends and people you speak to, when you see the army in the streets, how do you react? i mean, it was a very sad and shocking because i'm over 30 years old, i remember the dictatorship, i was a kid. i know that my parents and their friends were very afraid

of the army ands so seeing them in the streets was, like, very, very shocking but also it is very interesting to see that younger people, younger than me, they do not seem to be afraid of them, so htey were protesting very close to them so i would say that a new generation is not that afraid of saying what they want and standing up for the rest of poor. and maria ines, the president, mr piniera, has said that he would get rid of the price rises, he would stop those price rises. are people reacting to that? not really because that would have been of help around four orfive days ago, when most protests were actually about the raise in the transport but now it is about everything, it's not just transport. transport ifjust the tip of the iceberg, i would say.

we are talking here about the quality of life, how the medication system, pensions work, so people have said, ok, that could be a good measure but, after that, immediately it was announced we would have a curfew. the longest non—stop commerical passenger flight has landed successfully in sydney. the qantas plane tookjust over 19 hours to fly direct from new york. the airline is considering whether to begin regular non—stop flights between the cities and it's enlisted the help of university researchers to find out how such a long flights affect passengers and crew. at the rugby world cup injapan it was the first day of the quarter finals — england took on old foes australia. our sports editor dan roan reports.

if england wanted to lay down a marker at this world cup, they have done exactly that. this was a hugely impressive performance. they got off to an excellent start against their old rivals, australia, thanks largely to winger, jonny may, who scored twice in two minutes. captain, flyhalf owen farrell, extending his side's lead with some importing kicks too. but the advantage at half—time was just eight points, thanks to the boot of christian lealiifano, who scored some important points of his own. and in fact, immediately after the restart, australia reduced the deficit to just one point — at that moment in the game it looked like the match was very much in the balance. but then enter kyle sinckler, the powerful england prop for england, storming through. they proved unstoppable and, after that, england really reasserted their authority, thanks to owen farrell's boot —

he ended up with 20 points — and some magnificent defence as well. anthony watson secured a try which really sealed victory, thanks to an interception. and england didn't look back. ajoint—record margin of victory over australia, who knocked them out, of course, of the last the world cup, on english soil, four years ago. now, eddiejonrs's side have secured revenge, and they can now look forward to a semifinal. that was the target of the rfu always set for the australian coach. and i think, given the manner in which it has been achieved, england will now believe they can go all the way, and secure a first world cup victory, of course, since 2003. in the day's other quarterfinal ireland took on new zealand. andy swiss was watching. well, this was the night where new zealand showed just why they haven't lost a world cup match for some 12 years. and also why there are still many people's favourites to lift the trophy again. it was an utterly emphatic win over ireland. ireland remember looking to reach the semifinals for the first time in their history.

but really from the moment that aaron smith scored two early tries, to put new zealand in control, there was only going to be one winner. beauden barrett added a third try for new zealand, just before the break. it was 22—0 at halftime. after the break new zealand just went on extending their lead. ireland did get two consolation scores from robbie henshaw and then a penalty try, butjordi barrett rounded things off for new zealand in the closing minutes to complete a ruthless victory over ireland. ireland's disappointment at the world cup continues. once again, they have been knocked out at the quarterfinal stage. remember they had gone to this tournament as the world number ones. as for new zealand, what a performance from them, and what a mouthwatering semifinal it sets up against england in yokohama next weekend. don't forget, you can get in touch

with me on twitter. hello there. saturday was a day of contrast. we finally got some much—needed sunshine across central and southern england and, in fact, in hampshire, we had over seven hours of sunshine. that's not bad for this time of year. it was a different story though further north, across the scottish borders. there was some heavy, persistent rain at times, and some blustery winds and, in fact, edinburgh had 34mm of rain, around an inch and a half of rain, throughout the day. so the radar shows where that rain tended to sit, through much of saturday. it is starting to weaken off now, as the area of kow pressure is drifting into the north sea, and it's allowing a northerly flow to start to dominate across the country. so as the showers fade away and the northerly air kicks in, we will start to see those temperatures falling away, so it could be potentially

a chilly start to sunday. particularly in rural parts of scotland and lincolnshire, in south—east england, we are going to see low single figures, maybe low enough for some pockets of frost. so we start off on a chilly note. that low pressure sitting out in the north sea could feed a little more cloud along those east coasts and a few scattered showers. so here it could be cold and disappointing, but further south and west, away from the low, we should see the cloud breaking up, the sunshine coming through and highs peaking at 9—11; degrees. so that's the story on sunday. just need to draw your attention to what's happening across the near continent. this frontal system may well move towards the essex and kent coast, overnights sunday into monday, and produce some wet weather, but the high pressure is building in from the atlantic, so that is the dominant force to the weather story on monday, as you can see. largely fine and dry but we will need to keep a close eye on events down into the south—east. that could be a little bit of a fly in the ointment. generally speaking though, highs are likely to peek, again, at 9—11; degrees. now, as we move out of monday

into tuesday, that area of high pressure pushing in from the atlantic willjust slip its way steadily southwards, and that's going to allow weather fronts to topple across the high and push into the far north—west. so potentially bringing the risk of some more wet weather and certain windy weather at times as well. so only up into the far north of scotland potentially on tuesday. elsewhere, with a south—westerly feed, might be a little more cloud along west—facing coasts, but a little bit milder with it as well. you can see the theme is generally a dry one across the country, with highs of 11—15 celsius. so as we you move out of tuesday into wednesday and thursday, it's a similar feel to things. we keep the potential for some wetter weather up into the far north. much of england and wales stay dry and a little milder. take care.
