president trump insists the united states wants nothing to do with the nhs amid fears it could be used as a bargaining chip in post—brexit trade talks at the start of a three—day visit to the uk the president said he would keep out of the uk's election of the uk's election campaign — but said the nhs would not be on the table for trade talks. absolutely, i don't even know where that rumour started, we want absolutely nothing to do with it and we wouldn't want to. if you handed it to us on a silver platter, we want nothing to do with it. donald trump is here as nato‘s 70th anniversary summit gets underway, with deep divisions inside the alliance. also this lunchtime: five women who allege they were abused byjeffrey epstein urge prince andrew to testify in their cases. the 12—year—boy killed yesterday

when a car ploughed into a group of children near a school in essex is named as harley watson. making her point — the teenage activist greta thunberg sails into europe for the un's climate change conference the 12—year—boy killed yesterday when a car ploughed into a group as scientists warn this decade will be the hottest on record. dropped catches and rain bring a miserable end to england's tour of new zealand. and coming up on bbc news, anthonyjoshua says he's reinvented himself as he prepares for his rematch with andy ruinr, who took his three world heavyweight titles in the summer. good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. president trump has insisted the nhs

would not be part of future trade talks between the united states and the uk after brexit. speaking in london, where he's attending a nato conference, he told reporters he wouldn't touch the health service even if it was handed to his administration on a silver platter. the president said borisjohnson was capable and would do a greatjob. asked if he could work withjeremy corbyn, should the labour leader become prime minister, mr trump said he could work with anyone — but said he wouldn't be drawn further on british politics. our political correspondent jonathan blake reports. arriving during an election campaign is unusual for arriving during an election campaign is unusualfor a arriving during an election campaign is unusual for a president of the united states but donald trump ‘s visit was supposed to be strictly focused on the nato summit. no high—profile meeting with the prime minister, officials acknowledging the president knows he should not get involved. after his motorcade rolled into london this morning and the president took questions from the president took questions from the press, it sounded at first like donald trump might stick to the script. i will stay out of the

election. but i think boris is capable and he will do a good job. after showing support for boris johnson he was asked aboutjeremy corbyn becoming prime minister. johnson he was asked aboutjeremy corbyn becoming prime ministerli can work with anybody, i'm a very easy person to work with. jeremy corbyn has written to the president about concerns the nhs could form pa rt about concerns the nhs could form part of a trade deal. and there was this morning for donald trump. we wa nt this morning for donald trump. we want a good relationship with the usa but the trade talks undertaken by the government have been done in secret and we do not accept any idea of us companies coming in to run our national health service or the idea of extending dependence on medicine which would increase costs for the national health service. earlier this year the president said everything would be on the table but now...| everything would be on the table but now i don't even know where the rumour started, we have nothing to do with it and we wouldn't want to, if you handed it to us on a silver platter, we want nothing to do with it. boris johnson met military

vetera ns it. boris johnson met military veterans in milford today. how are you doing? not too bad, thank you, bearing up. he said the nhs wouldn't form part of trade talks and attacked jeremy corbyn ‘s record on security and defence. there is a stark contrast between our approach which sees the value of nato as the protector and guarantor of our future, and jeremy corbyn in the labour party which wants to disband nato, seems to be quite incredible position to take, that is the choice at this election, in just nine days' time. labour says it will maintain the uk commitment to nato despite borisjohnson maclaine, the uk commitment to nato despite boris johnson maclaine, donald trumps comments on the nhs will ensure that subject remains a talking point with nine days to go until the election. president trump has rallied to the defence of nato at the start of the alliance's london summit, insisting it serves "a great purpose" and attacking comments about its future made by his french counterpart. mr trump accused the french president, emmanuel macron, of being "nasty" and "disrespectful" for describing nato as "brain dead". our diplomatic correspondent

james robbins reports. nato ought to be in party mood. the military alliance was born 70 years ago in 1949. lead and largely paid for by the united states. nato saw off the cold war threat, first from josef stalin and fulfilled its purpose, outliving the communist soviet union. nato is the most successful alliance in history and because we have been able to change when the world is changing, that's exactly what we are doing again and the fact is we are doing more in this alliance than has been done for many decades. but today summat looks like a many decades. but today summat looks likeafamily many decades. but today summat looks like a family at war with itself, president trump who once called it obsolete, champions nato, turning on france ‘s president macron who accused him of lack of vision and

calls nato brain—dead. accused him of lack of vision and calls nato brain-dead. when you make a statement like that, that is a very, very nasty statement to essentially 28, including them, 28 countries. i think you have a very high unemployment rate in france, france is not doing well economically at all. but its military action by another military member turkey inside northern syria which poses a far more immediate threat to nato unity. turkey ‘s president enraged nato isn't100% supportive, now threatens to block alliance plans to strengthen the collective defence of the baltic states against russia. we have tremendous spirit as it pertains to nato, i would say except perhaps for one country. and we will be talking to that one country, we will see how it works out. and actually the one country has a couple of points but those points are devastating nato, we will find out about that during

the next two days. present divisions within nato risk drowning out crucial discussions of future military threats to the alliance. spaceis military threats to the alliance. space is the next frontier for nato to defend. from possible cyber attacks knocking out satellites which are critical to global navigation and communication systems. all this is the backdrop to a reception at buckingham palace this evening when the queen will surely use her diplomatic skills to try to bring nato ‘s divided leaders closer together. our assistant political editor, norman smith is in westminster. the president has made busy getting under way, the reaction so far? he would think relief in downing street because on the face of it, donald trump has given borisjohnson an almighty helping hand because having pledged not to get involved in the election, he is ploughed straight on in likea election, he is ploughed straight on in like a runaway train, expressing

his support for boris johnson, saying he is very capable and would doa saying he is very capable and would do a good job, sort of damning jeremy corbyn by saying i don't know who this gentleman is. again, expressing his backing for brexit and crucially, trying to douse down the controversy over claims that the nhs would be on the table in any future us uk trade talks. all of that, you would think, is to be good for borisjohnson, that, you would think, is to be good for boris johnson, the that, you would think, is to be good for borisjohnson, the trouble is getting the backing of donald trump can be, frankly, a bit of a double edge sword, why? because many voters frankly viewed the president has talks, they don't trust him and therefore there is a risk that actually, getting a clear approval of the donald could yet rebound against borisjohnson. of the donald could yet rebound against boris johnson. meanwhile, jeremy corbyn today has sought to douse down one of the controversies that has engulfed his election campaign, indeed his premiership, namely the anti—semitism crisis in

his party and his attempts to deal with it. today, at long last on itv ‘s this morning programme, apologising for his handling of the allegations. will it make any difference? i suspect for many in the jewish community, they difference? i suspect for many in thejewish community, they may view it as too little too late. norman smith in westminster, thank you. five women who accused the convicted sex offender, jeffrey epstein, of abusing them, are calling on prince andrew to testify in their cases. their lawyer told the bbcs panorama programme that he plans to try to compel the duke legally to give evidence. the programme centred on an interview with the woman who says she was forced to have sex with the prince when she was 17. prince andrew denies any such relationship. our royal correspondent nicholas witchell reports. the pressure on andrew shows no sign of easing. his rejection of the allegations against him remains absolute. but in her first british television interview, virginia giuffre — virginia roberts, as she was — repeated her story of being

trafficked by the sex offenderjeffrey epstein. one of those she was told to sleep with, she told the bbc‘s panorama programme, was prince andrew. she said the instruction came from epstein‘s friend, ghislaine maxwell, after a visit to a london nightclub. so, andrew drives in the other car. he not with us, he's with his security guards. and in the car, ghislaine tells me that... i have to do for andrew what i do forjeffrey. and that made me sick. i just didn't expect it from royalty. do you recall any sexual contact with virginia roberts then any other time? none whatsoever. and yet

virginia joffrey ‘s challenge to andrea is a direct one. he knows what happened. i know what happened. and there is only one of us telling the truth. now, us lawyers are intensifying their demands for andrew to step forward and be questioned under oath as a potential witness to what occurred in jeffrey epstein plasma comes. prince andrew, every day the clock is ticking, while he delays and as i said, he should provide his testimony without condition, without delay. without saying yes, or seek the advice of his lawyers or as required, required by whom? it's required for the truth, it's required forjustice. andrew has said he will cooperate if required with us law enforcement agencies but he has not said whether he is prepared to be questioned by lawyers for jeffrey he is prepared to be questioned by lawyers forjeffrey epstein plasma victims. more on the election now and throughout the campaign —

we have been focusing on parts of the uk where seats are expected to be closely contested. today, we're in enniskillen, in the northern irish constituency of fermanagh & south tyrone. this area has been held by sinn fein — who do not take their seats in westminster — since 2017, when took it from the ulster unionist party. three of the four neighbouring constituencies are also held by sinn fein — the other is held by the dup. fermanagh and south tyrone is one of the tightest battle grounds in northern ireland and sinn fein have a majority ofjust 875. since the seat was created in 1950 it has been represented by six separate nationalist mps and five unionist mps. the constituency is on the border with the irish republic which has been a huge issue in the brexit process. annita mcveigh is in enniskillen. thank you, i am in the butter market, home to studios, galleries and shops selling locally made arts

and shops selling locally made arts and crafts products and for people who live and work here, the ability to cross the border into the republic of ireland is absolutely vital to their daily lives, so brexit absolutely a dominant issue in this election. in this particular constituency, the brexit supporting dup have stood aside to allow the ulster unionist candidate who also supports brexit, a clear run in this election against the nationalist remain supporting sinn fein. so let's ta ke remain supporting sinn fein. so let's take a look at this report from our ireland correspondent chris page who's been talking to people in the constituency to ask them what matters to them. if you thought the election campaign was an unpredictable, adrenaline—pumping race, try this. garryjennings' passion, dedication and skill have won him international rally driving prizes. his life is fast—paced in other ways too. like many businesspeople in this

area, he pays his way by having a few different interests, from fuel sales to farming. but the man who loves to keep moving is frustrated by political paralysis, both at stormont and in the brexit process. it's just uncertainty. we need to know what's happening and we need to know soon, because there's nobody investing in here. there's nobody making positive decisions in anything. and i think that is the real problem. if we just decide what is happening and we can decide how it is going to happen, and it'll survive, but we need to know. just down the road, you get to pettigo, a place which shows why that uncertainty is so unsettling. the border is this river, which runs right through the village. a derelict customs post remains as a relic from different times. two soldiers... this bbc film from 35 years ago captured the unique local challenges. this is a smuggler, she's on a return trip from britain

into ireland with quantities of butter, bread and tinned food, all of which are cheaper in ulster. 7-9, 79. pensioners here remember well the days of disruption, amidst the troubles. it was an awful handicap to have the roads blowing up all around you, that you couldn't travel. some of the time, they were filled in, but then the army came and reopened them. then, the customs, they were there. when you come over the border, they then searched you. so that was the way it was. the future of the frontier is very much playing into the big numbers game of how people will vote. well, it's often been said in the last few years that this border is pretty much invisible, although brexit means it's loomed large in the political debates in the uk. however, for generations in northern ireland,

elections have, in a sense, tended to be about this frontier — in particular, the question of whether it should exist at all. the contest between unionists and nationalists is always tight in this constituency. this campaigner thinks that kind of politics doesn't really work. it's about identity and it's about a sense of belonging, and when that feels questioned or chastised or pointed at then people, i think, end up falling back into those camps. however, i think there is an increasing desire for day—to—day politics. at the edge of the united kingdom, the issues are unlike anywhere else. but that means the election matters all the more here. chris page, bbc news, pettigo. and the title race in this constituency is by no means the only one in this election in northern ireland. —— and the tight race. you can find out what each party is promising to do

on the issues that matter to you, and our general election manifesto guide now lets you easily compare between each party and their policies. it is at bbc.co.uk/news or on the bbc news app. our top story this lunchtime: president trump insists the united states wants nothing to do with the nhs amid fears it could be used as a bargaining chip in post—brexit trade talks. and coming up, the sugar overload warning for all those tempting festive hot drinks. coming up on bbc news: despite losing the series — and one of the worst dropped catches byjoe denly — captainjoe root says he's proud of how england learned lessons quickly against new zealand. scientists say they are almost certain the past decade will prove to have been the hottest on record — with this year likely to be one of the warmest. the world meteorological office

report — presented at the un climate talks in madrid — says the record temperatures are driven by greenhouse gas emissions. our environment analyst roger harrabin reports. as climate talks start in spain, the teenage activist greta thunberg has recrossed the atlantic on her way to a conference where governments are debating what to do to stop the planet overheating. as she arrives, wildfires are raging in australia, choking their cities with smoke. the australian government says they are not linked to human made climate change. scientists disagree. the australian population is used to fire, but not like this. this was unprecedentedly early. we have onlyjust gone into summer and these fires started in september. they started in spring. that's never happened before, and the scale is huge. record heat in the uk brought transport chaos, and today's world climate report confirms that the french summer heatwave broke the previous

record by 1.9 degrees. normally records are only broken by a fraction of a degree. then there's antarctica. its frozen interior is shielded from the warming sea by a barrier of ice, but as the climate warms, that barrier is shrinking and some glaziers are slipping into the sea. —— some glaciers. so in part of west antarctica we are seeing the ice sheet shrinking in a way that accelerates the outflow of ice, so it's become self propelling and what we would call it is past the tipping point and the retreat may now be irreversible. ultimately it could give us three metres of sea level rise, which, for scientists like myself, is deeply concerning. meanwhile the gases that are overheating the planet are still on the rise. the uk is a leader in climate policy, but even here there are contradictions. more and more people, for instance,

are buying big sport utility vehicles like this, which are high on emissions, and even if they are battery—powered, they still take a lot of resources. in madrid, international protesters are demanding more action from their politicians. the world's extreme weather is sending them all a very clear message. roger harrabin, bbc news. the uk has improved its overall rankings in influential education tests, which measure the ability of 15—year—olds in 79 countries and regions. the pisa tests show the uk has made progress in reading, maths and science — but lags behind top performers like china, singapore and estonia. teenagers in the uk also struggled to tell fact from opinion, didn't enjoy reading for pleasure and have among the lowest levels of "life satisfaction."

hmm. england needed rapid wickets to try to win. the ball brushed kane williamson's glove. he would have been out. never mind, there'll be another chance. there you go. commentator: out. oh, no! oh, what have you done?! there is no hiding when your name's on the shirt. it is extreme when the bowler‘s reaction is not even to complain but to laugh. now, to be fair tojoe denly, he's taken some great catches for england, but the bbc‘s ownjonathan agnew thought this could be the worst drop he'd ever seen. time for one more replay? sorry, joe, there is, and jofra archer, yes... no... you're kidding me?! well, new zealand's batsmenjust carried on. kane williamson the first to make it to 100. ross taylor next. commentator: goes again, he hits it hard! these two outstanding batsmen ensured the match would finish

a draw before the skies changed and the ground staff took over. new zealand won this miniseries. the year has featured some epic nip and tuck matches between these two teams, played in a true spirit. and when it came to the handshakes, joe denly didn't notice. -- didn't —— didn't miss. catch you later? joe wilson, bbc news. now, they might be tempting on a cold day but those festive lattes and hot chocolates being sold by some high street coffee chains can contain a staggering 23 spoonfuls of sugar per cup. an action on sugar study says those looking for an alternative to cow's milk are unknowingly consuming excessive sugar due to a lack of labelling and the perception that vegan options are healthier. theo leggett reports. all the major coffee chains make them, sweet winter warmers loaded with things like caramel and cream. indulgent, certainly, but health activists say it is not ok, because

people are consuming too much sugar and a lack of labelling means they may not realise. a warming drink for a cold winter's day, a signature caramel hot chocolate with with cream on top. lovely. but would people be anxious to buy one ifeanyi momah to contains this much sugar? 23 teaspoonfuls. is it a luxury or something people should avoid? were you aware it has 1a teaspoons of sugarin you aware it has 1a teaspoons of sugar in it? i wasn't, but i had you aware it has 1a teaspoons of sugar in it? iwasn't, but i had a little idea it was very sugary and unhealthy. you are happy anyway? it is not for me. this is 11 teaspoons of sugar, as a christmas luxury, thatis of sugar, as a christmas luxury, that is ok? we had that conversation at work the other day and, yes, it is not every day. it is fine for a luxury, a one—off. is not every day. it is fine for a luxury, a one-off. we can celebrate christmas and down the sugar? and regret it in january. this is 11

teaspoons full. wow, lots more than i would have expected. you buy one? i don't think so. five or six. eight 01’ i don't think so. five or six. eight or nine? 23. but it is fine, it is christmas? it's christmas, let's all get fat. i try to keep away from drinks like that, i weighed 19 stone so drinks like that, i weighed 19 stone sol drinks like that, i weighed 19 stone so i definitely do not need this sort of luxury even at christmas. christmas or not and even though these drinks are widely available, we found very few people buying them. high calorie confections are all very well but it seems many people are not that sweet toothed after all. the winner of the turner prize — the biggest award for british contemporary art — will be unveiled this evening. four artists have been shortlisted for the first prize, which will be announced
