hello, i'm nuala mcgovern. this is outside source. the us has made a major reversal in its middle east policy. the trump administration says israeli settlements in the west bank calling them illegal hasn't worked. hello, i'm nuala mcgovern, it hasn't advanced the cause of this is 0utside source. the trump administration says it no peace. longer considers israeli settlements israel's benjamin netanyahu calls in the west bank to be illegal. it an "historic day", while there's been a furious reaction from arab countries. we'll have the latest. after his bbc interview, calls for britain's prince andrew following the establishment of to give evidence about his links to jeffrey epstein. lawyers for the victims civilian settlements inconsistent are demanding he apologises. has not worked and has not advanced of peace. the first words out of his mouth it's a major shift in us middle east should be, iam policy that's been welcomed the first words out of his mouth should be, i am sorry and, if there by israel's benjamin netanyahu

is anything i can do to assist these but condemned by arab countries. after his bbc interview, calls for britain's prince andrew victims in any way, shape orform, to give evidence about his links to jeffrey epstein. i'd want to do that. lawyers for the victims are demanding he apologises. the hong kong authorities trap hundreds of protestors on a university campus. the first words out of his mouth outside, police use rubber bullets and tear gas, while students used petrol bombs, should have been i am sorry and if there is anything i can do to assist bricks, and bow and arrows. and a tiny book written by a teenage these victims in any way, shape or charlotte bronte has sold at auction in for eight hundred form, i would want to do that. and 60 thousand dollars. we'll look at what's inside. the hong kong authorities trap hundreds of protestors on a university campus. 0utside, police use rubber bullets and tear gas, while students used petrol bombs, bricks, and bow and arrows. and there's new hope in the fight against a disease that's swept across europe's ash trees the us secretary of state, mike pompeo, has announced that washington no longer considers israeli settlements built in the occupied west bank to be illegal. israel's army occupied the area in the 1960s. this is the area in question — land around jerusalem, which palestinians want to see let us turn to iran on outside

as part of a future state, were they ever to get one. source. 12 people have been killed after three days of protest in iran. israel has built more than 100 here's some images of settlements over the years. the protests from yesterday. protesters wearing masks have you can see them here blocked roads and looted shops. they've been triggered by a steep rise in petrol prices — in the darker blue/green areas. the government announced on friday that prices would rise by 50 percent today's move breaks with four decades of us policy stemming on the first 60 litres each month, from a 1978 legal opinion and 200 percent beyond that. from the state department that the settlements were "inconsistent the protests have been widespread across the country. with international law." an internet blackout has stemmed mr pompeo had this to say earlier. the flow of information, but before that videos had been posted from tehran and many other cities — calling the establishment from tabriz in the north to shiraz of civilian settlements inconsistent with international law hasn't worked in the south. or advanced the cause of peace. the hard truth is there will never here's what the president hassan be a judicial resolution to the conflict and arguments about who is right or wrong rouhani has said today. as a matter of international law will not bring peace. translation: protests are different even before mr pompeo had spoken, the israeli government's from riots, the entire nation has public security minister, the right to protest, they can gilad erdan tweeted... protest a nd

the right to protest, they can protest and even criticise the government, even harshly and we welcome that. there is no problem about they say. we should not allow any insecurity and society. i own a car to use it, and not to block the this is the reaction roads. here's bbc persian's rana rahimpour from the palestinians. on what we know about the extent of the protests. it is extremely difficult to get any news out of iran because it has been this is the spokesperson for practically under a digital blackout president abbas. this is the for about two days now. the authorities decided to shut down the internet so iran has been completely cut off jordanian reaction, from their foreign minister. from the internet. if they are now on national internet which means that people can only i suppose it's consistent access state news agencies with what the trump administration and the same is true for us has done over the last couple of years. so it is very difficult to get we've seen them decide that a clear picture of how many cities jerusalem can be called are still protesting. according to officials at least 100 the capital of israel, cities have seen protests over be considered the capital of israel. the last couple of days. the governor of tehran said that 76% we've also seen, in march of provinces have seen unrest over of this year, them decide the last couple of days. that the golan heights, on occupied land, on land israel captured from syria,

also had israeli sovereignty. so i suppose it shouldn't we have confirmed number of deaths come as a surprise. which are 12 and unconfirmed numbers but it was the way in which mike pompeo was somehow saying we think about between 30 and a0 that he was removing, but because there is no internet in this move, an obstacle it is very difficult to get any to the peace process that has of these numbers confirmed. surprised a lot of people. we know that there are some cities as you saw in that clip, the fact that the settlements, still very volatile and the way and right now some of these we try to get the picture as journalists who are not based settlements, and it sounds in the country is to see which state like a small thing, a settlement, news agency reports that schools but in some cases these are nothing and cities are closed down less than cities in the west bank. because of schools are closed down they really do dominate the landscape there. and means that there are unrest there is one in particular, ma'ale adumim, that cuts the west bank in half. in those cities. he was saying, by calling them inconsistent with international law, and so there are dozens somehow they were an obstacle of those towns and cities to peace and what america is doing are still protesting. now is removing that. the reason is because of the fuel that is certainly not what palestinians will feel gas increase and now and other arab countries, and european ones as well, it is beyond that. who still consider settlements that they are chanting death of dictator, israel is building and expanding technically asking for regime change but has been cracked down.

on occupied palestinian it is likely that the crackdown land illegal. will continue we do not know when the restriction on the internet ijust wonder, because there has will be lifted and what we can get a clear picture been a stalemate, really, in israeli politics, of what is going on in iran. will this make a difference, perhaps a positive mood for mr netanyahu, thank you so much. let's turn now to who has been caught in this back a lot of concern about political and forth with benny gantz? misinformation in the uk whether it yes, certainly. a lot of people are wondering is russian trolls or data why this move now. harvesting. but rather dull bar charts can also from the palestinian point of view, wreak political havoc. they've never really considered america to be an honest peace take the consituency of hastings broker, particularly and rye in the south of england. labour candidate peter chowney in the last couple of years. and the liberal democrats candidate nick perry are arguing over they never really felt that america who is best—placed to beat the conservative considers these settlements to be candidate, sally—ann hart. an independent, paul inconsistent with international law, otherwise something might have been done about them. crosland is also running. so those trying to work out why the liberal democrats this is being done now issued this leaflet, are coming to the conclusion, with a poll that appears to show their candidate on top. some of them, but this is, but is that actually the case? in some way, a boost the thing is, this poll never actually asked people who they wanted to vote for. to benjamin netanyahu, and that is how some in the region are seeing it. but the consequences could be a phd student conducted in april of

similar to the consequences we had in the recognition ofjerusalem 150 people and asked constituents, as the israeli capital, do you want to stop a new deal in that there could be violence. so, if it is part of some political brexit? support for benjamin netanyahu, if they answered "yes," he then there are those who worry that it asked "out of these candidates could even lead to which is best—placed to be the remain coalition candidate?" from there it got picked deaths, potentially, up by the local news site hastings in focus, as happened in the past. which originally published it with this bar chart. let's ta ke let's take a look at it. there you 90, the fallout from bbc let's take a look at it. there you go, does it look familiar? newsnight‘s interview with prince andrew over his the article got 4000 views and was shared with a this local friendship with the sex offender facebook group hastings decides jeffrey epstein, continues. 2020, which has about 500 members. earlier in the newsroom we had this update... and from there it made the jump offline in the form of that liberal democrat leaflet. i've been speaking to marianna spring from bbc trending about what all this means. so, i guess most people watching

pressure is now building will think why am i interested in on prince andrew to talk to the fbi and to apologise for his bar charts and hastings particularly and it is because this case study friendship with epstein. the duke of york spoke exclusively with the bbc‘s newsnight reveals certain things about us on hoping to clear the air. but there's been a furious backlash. how a digital election works for us the story is dominating ona how a digital election works for us on a local level and it is notjust global headlines. limited to online. we saw how a bar let me bring you this from the chart went on to facebook groups and found its way onto a lib dems washington post. campaign the fred and then people and in the morning talking about it on a meme page. headlines in cbs news... prince andrew tells the bbc he still doesn't regret his friendship back and forth between online and with jeffrey epstein. off—line and it is important in he was telling us things understanding what is happening on that he hoped would make sense of what we'd seen, the doorsteps and what is happening of what we'd heard... online. it is difficult for the let's go back to saturday night's average voter to try and take apart broadcast, to some of the key exactly where the source of moments with prince andrew, starting with whether something as from and also how to he has any regrets. now? understand in the wider context of still not. the election. it is harder to track the reason being is that the people where it came from and where it is that i met and the opportunities going and at the same time it is that i was given to learn, almost easier to scrutinise election material. if you got a reef lead er, either by him or because of him through the front door 30 years ago

you would not have been able to post were actually very useful. online and say i am not sure about this and get into a discussion about it so one positive thing about the do i regret the fact that he has, digital election as it has more quite obviously, conducted himself power to interrogate and look at what has been given to them and in a manner unbecoming? yes. think it is this right? do you see unbecoming? he was a sex offender. this happening, that is something yeah, i am sorry. thatis i'm being polite. this happening, that is something that is potentially inaccurate that in the sense that he people are pouncing on immediately? was a sex offender. particularly when it comes to pulling and dirty demagogy or not once in the 50 minute interview did the royal even mention the victims ofjeffrey epstein, least of all express charts, that they have stats and a way that people don't agreement —— sympathy for them — even at the very end, agree with. if you are voter who when an opportunity arose. this interview has been exceptionally rare. does not want conservative to get to you might not speak on this subject again. government and wants to remain in is there anything you feel has the eu, do you back labour or the been left unsaid that you would like to say now? lib dems? and a lot of polls are no, i don't think so. i think you've probably dragged out confusing until people to do what most of what is required, they do not expect to be doing and and i am truly grateful you have an interrogation on for the opportunity that facebook groups and facebook pages. you've given me to be able particularly when it comes to to discuss this with you. tactical voting, there is an

abundance of material, as part of his apparent lack of empathy has sparked outrage from lawyers the material election. there is a representing epstein‘s victims. lot of material and a lot of stuff well, we all found it deeply that needs to be scrutinised and for disappointing that he failed that needs to be scrutinised and for that it that needs to be scrutinised and for thatitis that needs to be scrutinised and for that it is almost impossible to get to express any compassion through everything and ultimately we for the many victims have more power to try to scrutinise ofjeffrey epstein. things with platforms like facebook i think that, if a member then perhaps we did before. they do of the royal family, who clearly was friendly with a convicted sex offender, is going to go on television, allow dodgy polls to circulate to then the first words out more people than it could have. but of his mouth should be, i'm sorry and, if there is anything it could still get to your front door. it is a bit of a chicken and i can do to assist these victims an egg. scientists say they might be able in any way, shape and form, to breed ash trees that are resistant to a deadly fungus i'd want to do that. that's threatening to devastate the species. ash dieback first came to the uk in 2012. as well as calls for the duke it's caused by a fungus that can to apologise for the friendship, spread quickly and easily. pressure is also building a classic symptom is this, on prince andrew to cooperate with the fbi. a diamond shaped mark on the tree. here's legal analyst here in the uk the disease jonathan turley. well, if he were to set a foot on us could kill 70 million trees, soil, he'd likely be hit with a subpoena service, and cost the economy £15 billion. if they could get access to him. this was a truly catastrophic decision on his part. it's bad enough when people believe dr richard buggs is one

of the scientists involved. that you are a criminal. he announced his research with this tweet, "we discover the genetic raw when they also believe you are comical, it's not a good combination. materials for resistance to ash dieback in uk ash populations". i've been speaking to him. questions are now being asked as to why prince andrew's office decided to do the interview in the first place. ash dieback is caused by a fungus here's our royal that originated from the far east of correspondent, daniela relph. well, i think the view is that it has done, asia and, since the 1990s, really, the exact opposite it's swept across europe. of what it was intended to do. it arrived in the uk, the idea, i think, we found it first in 2012. from within prince andrew's private office was that this interview it's now spread throughout would draw a line under everything, the whole country and into ireland, and it's it would put the duke a huge amount of damage in front of an interviewer, emily maitlis, without any to our ash populations. we did a study on the european restrictions, and he could answer continent, where they've all the questions and all the rumours about his relationship had ash dieback for over 15 years, with jeffrey epstein. and we found up to 69% of trees have but this just hasn't closed it down. died in woodlands and up what it's done is opened up a whole series of questions to 85% in plantations, about his judgment, about whether he should be making so it's a devastating disease. any kind of statement to the official investigation when we think about that amount in the united states and, crucially, of trees, it must be also about his day—to—day work, particularly here in the uk. incredibly difficult for the environment to recover, but there is do all those organisations, something hopeful all those companies which he has

that you have found. worked so closely with over yes, we are announcing today the years want to carry on their association with him? the discovery of the genetic some of them don't and are now building blocks of resistance considering their position that we have found in the uk ash populations. and wondering whether having him as a royal patron is really any good we found over 3000 places for their own reputations. in the dna of ash trees if you missed that extraordinary that are associated with resistance to ash dieback. interview with the bbc so what does that mean? what can you do with those findings? over the weekend, you can watch we can start predicting how resistant different trees will be, the whole thing on iplayer now. and we can start a breeding programme to trying to bring together all those different genes it's called prince andrew and the epstein scandal: conferring resistance. the newsnight interview. at the moment, there is no one tree or let's move onto another story are population of trees with all of the variants following, hong kong. associated with resistance. the standoff in hong kong between protesters, who've barricaded themselves if we could get all of them into one population, inside a university, we could have an even more resistant and the authorities, came to a head today as a number tree, which could help us to replace ash trees that were arrested trying to leave the site and break are dying all across europe. through police lines. it does sound like it's 5am in the city now, a hugely ambitious and inside polytechnic university project to try and replace those an unknown number of trees that, as you say, go totally students remain trapped. let's take a look at across europe. what has been happening. this is a scene from it is a massive endeavour,

earlier in the evening, but the good news is that with students attempting to flee natural selection is already begin by abseiling off a bridge to select in nature for trees with more resistance to ash and using rope ladders, before dieback, and our genetic findings being picked up by motorcycles. mean we can follow that a small number of protesters have and understand more what is happening at the genetic managed to get away this way. and this is what they're trying level and predict the to get away from. outcomes of that process, so it these are pictures gives us more understanding of what from inside the campus, is going on as nature takes its course, and you can see fires as well as telling us how we and barricades. could intervene and do many students have already tried a breeding programme. so this huge problem is something to escape the university, that really just erupted over the past number of years and this is what they've faced. in non—native species that were accidentally introduced. did you or your team learn anything about how that could be prevented from happening again? they've been arrested by police and this is a problem we have with global trade moving pests and pathogens around the world at times helped the ground before at unprecedented rates, and this being arrested. —— held to the kind of problem that we have in ground. europe with ash dieback is mirrored university campuses have remained relatively free of protest until now. by problems in other chinese university of hong kong countries like, for example, became a flash point last week emerald ash borer when police say protesters began throwing petrol bombs the states, another pest from asia onto a nearby road. that has been accidentally

the protests then moved to polyu introduced, and it is devastating their ash populations. when protesters tried to block a key so really we need to have tunnel near the campus. tighter bio—security to try and prevent these things here's what one student trapped from spreading around the world. inside the university had to say. it's a global issue and we need to work i am really scared right now together to stop spreading pests and pathogens around. because last night in hong kong stay with us on outside source. the police said they won't use still to come... one of charlotte bronte's smallest works has fetched a huge price tag. weapons to make us locked the early ideas forjane eyre in the campus any more. are contained in these tiny pages. they will use weapons to kill us all. more than 100 people have the lib dems and snp have been injured so far, in some of the worst violence seen lost their legal challenge to be included in an itv head—to—head since protests started injune. debate ahead of the general election. the police have called the channel is due to air for the protesters not to further a debate between tory escalate the situation. leader borisjohnson i would urge those rioters, and labour'sjeremy corbyn tomorrow evening. do not try to escalate the level the lib dems said they wanted their pro—remain stance to be represented, of weapons or violence. while the snp wanted the issue of scottish independence we have the capability. to be raised. i would once again urge them the liberal democrats' position in this election and that of our leader is unique. to come out, surrender.

jo swinson is the only leader of a national party fighting to stop brexit. as the standoff has continued, boris johnson and jeremy corbyn should not be allowed other protesters have flocked to sidestep debating the issue of brexit to the area around the university, with someone who wants trying to help those inside escape. to robin brant was there. remain, and itv should not give them the opportunity to do so. there's always been those two key that is why this is an incredibly elements to this protest movement. i say movement, but it's very disappointing verdict, not just for much a broad church. liberal democrats but also they are leaderless. that's something they continue for democracy in this country. to tell you when you interview these protesters. they are large in number, and for every remainer who deserves to have in terms of the demonstrators a voice in this debate. who take over the streets and are often peaceful. i have to say, this is a slight you can observe very clearly escalation, in terms what is going on here. of the obstructive tactics, there is fantastic support in terms of blocking the road. there is definitely a much smaller we are getting from the people of scotland with the very number, a much more hard—core, almost like the tip of the spear clear message that we have, that scotland's future should be in who are responsible for the petrol the hands of the people of scotland, bombs, they are responsible yet, at this crucial time, for the home—made catapults we've seen on some of the university where we face the very clear risk of being dragged out campuses, they are responsible for the brick throwing as well. of the european union so there are two different elements against our will, with the people of scotland to these protesters. have expressed a desire to i think what you are seeing here remain, that we are not permitted

is the two slightly amalgamating, to take part in the first and most because this kind of tactic crucial broadcast is extremely obstructive, that will take place. there is irrefutable it's extremely disruptive. academic evidence for now, it shows very that the first debate little chance, i think, any westminster election campaign of losing any sense of momentum. is the one that leads to many people that are perhaps not actively engaged in politics making their here we are on a monday night at 20 minds up on how to vote. past nine and there are thousands it is simply not on. and thousands of people on the streets to show their support. stay with us on 0utside source. is donald trump about to reverse his ban on flavoured e—cigarettes? we'll be live in washington. two teenagers found guilty of murdering 17—year—old jodie chesney in a park in east london have been this is outside source, given life sentences. live from the bbc newsroom. our lead story is... jodie was stabbed as she sat the us secretary of state mike with friends on 1st march, in a case of mistaken identity. pompeo has reversed decades of american policy by saying it no drug dealer svenson 0ng—a—kwie, 19, longer views israeli will spend at least 26 years settlements in the occupied in prison, while his 17—year—old arron issacs was given a minimum west bank as illegal. sentence of 18 years.

correspondent, colletta smith. an update on that story that we have was there any particular policy or been following got the past few person that really fired up the cbi? hours. there have been three pretty big returning now to one hitters today, so we've heard from of our top stories tonight, the escalating protests in hong the prime minister, the leader of kong. the prime minister, the leader of the opposition and also the leader china's ambassador has been speaking of the liberal democrats, jo swinson, or taking to the stage and and let's hear what he has to say. making promises and trying to win a one country, two systems is one complete concept. red what, for many of them, is a one country is the precondition and the basis of two systems. audience, not a natural home, without one country, certainly forjeremy corbyn, leader two systems will no longer exist. of the labour party. they each had a different challenge that they had to violent offences that undermine one stand up and convince the audience. country, two systems, will never be tolerated. the prime minister saying, actually, a policy that we had planned, that that's china's ambassador to the uk businesses had probably planned for, talking about the protests because this corporation tax in the context of the ‘one country reduction was due to come in on two systems‘ policy, which allowed for hong kong to have april the 1st next year, the next its own system of government. financial year, he has put the here's vincent ni from bra kes financial year, he has put the brakes on and said, if the conservatives are in charge, we are the bbc‘s chinese service. not going to make that reduction. as this is not the first time that the chinese ambassador many people have pointed out, the uk here in the uk has spoken very still has the lowest corporation tax critically about what is happening in hong kong. of any of the g20 countries, so

borisjohnson saying, look, this will just borisjohnson saying, look, this willjust mean we have more money to i think, with the description of what spend, it's a big shift, really, the protesters have behind the scenes for what is going been doing, this is not on within the conservative party, in going to help de—escalate the that it gives them more money to situation. if anything, the protesters spend, and that's a change in will take it as a warning from the chinese government, conservative attitudes. this is and that will further agitate their action on the ground. clearly a government who are saying, we wa nt clearly a government who are saying, we want to be able to spend more, we we are seeing just some of the pictures from now. wa nt to it's gone 4am in hong kong. we want to be able to spend more, we want to be able to make giveaways in oui’ want to be able to make giveaways in our manifesto pledges, which will be coming out in the next few days and, police are there and in their riot gear, to do that, we have to make sure we waiting to see if students hang onto some money. what about might make their way out. business rates? we are talking about but is there a way, vincent, for a compromise to be reached? property taxes for businesses that what is it that the they have to pay. that was a thread protesters want now? what could the authorities do to calm the situation? throughout the parties. what was the this is the million dollar question. i think, with the description feeling in the room to them? that of what has been happening among the protesters' side has been one of the most controversial issues over the last as the black terror, there is no way of dialogue for the time being. decade or more for businesses. if you ask any business, the thing that doesn't mean that this is going will make their most angry is business rates, whether they are a to happen in the future, but i think big company or a small company. you what is happening now is that the chinese government is very keen to have to pay rates, depending on the put out their own narrative, that these

size of your property and where it guys are just vandals, is based, not on how much money you make as a company, so there have they been huge calls for a wholesale review of how that rate is i think this is still there. calculated. that's what the conservatives have 110w that's what the conservatives have now pledged, with borisjohnson today saying, yes, he will have a this is the million dollar question. i think, with the description root and branch review of how the of what has been happening among the protesters' side as the black system operates, but there are no terror, there is no way promises at the end of that of what of dialogue for the time being. will be decided when they implement doesn't mean that this is going to happen in the future, it. liberal democrat leaderjo but i think what is happening now is that the chinese government swinson says, actually, they'd scrap is very keen to put out their own narrative, the tax altogether and make the money in a different way, so some that these guys are just vandals, they are rule breakers, and obviously this is not big changes. thank you, colette going to go down very well smith. 0ne among these protesters. big changes. thank you, colette my next question would be, smith. one of the areas that that and i know it is hard to generalise, election is getting into. but there was a lot of public support for the young students. president trump is reported to have is that still there? retreated from his proposed i think this is still there. however, with the protests ban on flavoured e—cigarettes, turning more violent, which was designed to the chinese government is betting curb teenage vaping. on losing a majority it comes amid an epidemic of support of these protests, and it will see how things turn out. of lung injuries in the us. however, i am going to say this. samira hussain in new york. what is happening in hong kong is a clash of identities. these protests are claiming why does he seem to be retreating? they are not chinese any more,

and this is the bigger headache for the chinese government to deal with in the future. it seems there has been some and let's turn to the tiny manuscript by charlotte bronte. political pressure placed on the sold today at auction president, and that is why we are in paris for over 500 hundred thousand pounds — seeing this. one, we have seen that that's around 850 thousand us dollars. some members of his team have done it measures about one inch by two — the same size as a box of matches — some members of his team have done some polling in these swing states, and it seems that actually banning and is actually a miniature magazine created for her toy soldiers. charlotte bronte wrote it aged when she was just 1a. these electronic cigarettes doesn't she went on to write jane eyre. sit well with voters. next year, we the manuscript will now go to the bronte parsonage museum in west yorkshire — are heading into a 2020 presidential heres the executive director — kitty wright. it means the world to us, election, and there are concerns actually, and i think about that election, so there is a the key to that is sense they don't really want to do the expression you've just used there, going home, anything that would rock the boat because of course the bronte parsonage museum is the but, remember, back when he was building in which charlotte created that little book. she wrote the tiny writing in it president, donald trump made the and created about 4000 statement that he was considering a words in that little book. but she also created ban, one of the leading companies in the book itself, folded e—cigarettes had just pulled a lot of their flavours off the market the pages to stitch it into a cover and then started writing, so it belongs, we think, in the bronte altogether that said, several other parsonage museum in howarth. companies were very able to fill it is literally coming home. that void but was placed on the and it also means the world to us because, of market. also, individual states have course, this is the second time taken it upon themselves to trying we've bid for it at an auction.

to ban e—cigarettes, for the reason it came up at 2011 at sotheby‘s, you mention, the potential danger to itjust came to light. health. it's an industry that keeps but we were outbid at changing, i suppose. that time, and we just health. it's an industry that keeps changing, isuppose. i health. it's an industry that keeps changing, i suppose. i want to ask you about another story. can't really believe that we've had a chance to have another go at it, the reality tv star — kyliejenner — and to be successful this time, will sell the majority so i think we feel elated and, of her cosmetics company speaking personally for me, i feel really for a whopping $600 million. relieved, because so many people earlier this year, forbes announed have supported us in this campaign that i am just very, that the 22—year—old very pleased that we have been able wasthe youngest self to deliver for all those people who have shown made billionaire ever. theirfaith in us, supported us, that was after her cosmetics line brought in hundreds donated to us, and we can indeed of millions of dollars bring it home for them. in sales last year. that's a lot of money. it's also and just to remind you of our top interesting that she is now minded story that we have been covering this hour, and it is that the to sell it. who is buying? kony is a secretary of state, mike pompeo has cosmetics band that is buying kylie now announced that the us no longer considers israel'sjewish settlements, inconsistent with jennehs cosmetics band that is buying kylie jenner‘s line, and she doesn'tjust international law. we will be have lipsticks and colours that are

nudein getting more reaction to that i have lipsticks and colours that are nude in nature, but also a skincare think of for the coming hours. the line that she just launched. the problem you are seeing with some of eu has says it continued to believe these older, more established that israeli settlement activity and companies is they have all these occupied palestinian territory it other brands, like nail polish or was illegal under a nash —— literal hair dyes. these are brands international law and eroded prospects for international peace. that are older and they are really is still happening in the united sort of losing favour with a lot of people but, when you see somebody states and will expect more reaction to that in the coming hours. stay like kylie coming out with her own tuned on the bbc. line, which is exceptionally popular with people, it's only natural somebody in the industry will want to try and scoop up that company and ta ke to try and scoop up that company and take advantage of the kind of publicity she already has, and try and boost their own companies under hello. monday turned into one of those rarities so far this autumn their umbrella. another company is and not only where most places dry about whether watches show from cover girl. when was the last time across the four nations most wear anybody went out and bought sunny as well. bake welcome news for something from cover girl? having those affected areas. and believe it somebody like kyliejenner would make that a big deal thank you for or not, nottingham only had five dry

joining us for our business stories. days up until monday. a few more dry days up until monday. a few more dry stay with us. another half an hour days to come and gone back in the to come. forecast oil and that went to the east of parts and high pressure builds across eastern europe and that slows down the progression. hello. heavy, flooding rains and will bring and eventually some rain later in the week and the low early season hello. heavy, flooding rains and early season snow hello. heavy, flooding rains and early season snow all coming up in pressure system still off to the this forecast, but first let's start last of us means a cold start to with the relatively quiet with the tuesday which is why it is below story of north america. one area of freezing. across central and low pressure in the eastern southern parts of the uk and england seaboard, another pushing in across drifting northwards and air of low the pacific northwest, bringing clouds and that means across heavy rain. we have seen recent localised flooding in vancouver, so scotla nd clouds and that means across scotland and england ice anyone. and that's not welcome. still pretty cold in the northern and central we will see outbreaks of rain and plains, the coldest first couple of weeks of november in chicago for nearly 150 years. that cold pool of notice as we go through to say night into wednesday, frost on the trait, air sitting there for quite some time. it's relatively quiet for the and shrinking in size. only a little weather, and the rain in seattle bit of frost into wednesday morning easing, and one or two welcome and that means that reese is picking showers in los angeles in midweek. a up and that means that reese is picking up and it will become more dominant throughout the last of the week.

storm moving its way across the northern philippines. it is going to much of scotland and england is dry be pretty slow 500, 600 millimetres again and isolated shower across the north sea coast and like to say, of rain. that's possible in the next more cloud out towards the west and particularly for northern ireland, few days, enough to bring some and it could affect the western localised flooding to low lying areas. quiet across much of china aisles and temperature that are and vietnam, and a few showers for starting to rise. and a bit further through the rest of the week, and malaysia and indonesia. in australia, the talking point has creeping in more and more into the been the heat this weekend across week, and creeping in more and more western austria. desperate and developing more as we go into their say. parts of scotland, australia. the hottest november day northern and eastern england staying dry but we will see greater chances in western australia since records and occasional rain pushing the way began. this heat is going to move a northwards but maybe turning towards bit further east over the next couple of days. watch the dark, higher ground temporarily but a milder theme across the south and russet tones creeping east, and the double figures. greater chance of yellow is returning to western some occasional rain but nothing too australia, so temperatures will ease much to concern as it is fairly here but unfortunately, where we've shower tree in nature and it got those wildfires, don't need continues thursday night into friday. low—pressure system so to extreme heat, and the breeze picking the rest of us and more substantial up extreme heat, and the breeze picking up as well, so that could be an issue in the next few days. for one, hopefully staying down to the southwest and again for friday, for perth, temperatures will be a bit

cooler in midweek, but they are set us occasional rain and mimi across to climb again as we go towards the the western areas and eastern half of the uk and staying dry with some weekend. for europe, it's been about sunshine and temperatures more heavy rain that has brought severe widely into double figures including flooding to venice. you can see many some in scotland. the big of the tourist attractions are uncertainty, 6—10 days comes on closed at the moment due to the saturday. the low—pressure system volume of rain, coupled with some comes on friday and computer models high tides. 0n volume of rain, coupled with some high tides. on top of that, we've wa nt to ta ke comes on friday and computer models want to take that across the uk and bring outbreaks of rain to start the seen early season snow in the alps. weekend and favouring the models to as you can see on the radar, through ta ke weekend and favouring the models to take us more towards the mediterranean which means to the the end of the weekend, we had heavy start of the weekend the emphasis is rain and snow the higher ground. largely on drier conditions for another area of low pressure moving m, another area of low pressure moving saturday. and easterly breeze and in, bringing yet more wet weather to occasional spells of cloud and maybe italy and more snow for higher ground. so it stays pretty stormy through the english channel but the for tuesday. elsewhere in europe, in emphasis is on dry weather and i likely to be dry or wet or whether the north—west, an area of low so keep an eye on that forecast. pressure trying to push in. that will gradually bring wetter weather. than either way what happens is that still pretty cold here, taking in low— pressure than either way what happens is that low—pressure will dominate into next week to the west of us and in doing northern scandinavia. temperatures so we continue with a windy weekend struggling for the time of year, but * next week but milder than the week the talking point will be the stormy just gone. we'll see more in no way weather moving its way across the of rain at times to keep a very

central mediterranean, and we will keep a close eye on that. it is the close i on that but later on as you city forecast for the next five 00:29:05,087 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 days. take care. look at the low—pressure system, it will turn colder yet again.
