tonight at ten: president trump arrives in london for the nato summit, promising not to get involved in the election campaign. he's been at a reception at number ten tonight with the first lady, hosted by the prime minister borisjohnson. this evening he was at buckingham palace meeting the queen, earlier he made the kind of political intervention he said he'd avoid. i think boris is very capable and i think he will do a very good job. would you be able to work with a possible prime minister corbyn? i can work with anybody, i'm a very easy person to work with. we'll have the latest on the visit and on the tensions among leaders at the nato meeting. also tonight: greta thunberg sails back to europe for a climate summit — scientists say the last decade looks set to be the warmest on record. the 12—year—old boy killed

in a hit—and—run incident outside a school in essex has been named as harley watson. british pupils rise up an international league table for education, but teenagers here aren't nearly as happy as those elsewhere. i'm in margate, where the turner prize has been announced. thejudges have given it to all four nominated artists. and coming up on sportsday on bbc news: we'll have details on tonight's premier league football, as manchester city look to close the gap to leaders liverpool. good evening.

president trump has arrived in london for the nato meeting — promising not to get involved in the election campaign, before doing presicely that, saying he was a "fan of brexit" and thought boris johnson was "very ca pable". he then added he could work "with anybody" in number ten. the election is just nine days away. mr trump also denied that the nhs would be on the table in any future trade talks with the uk. in a moment, our diplomatic correspondent james robbins will have more on the nato meeting, but first our chief political correspondent vicki young looks at mrtrump‘s impact on the political scene. there are flashing images in her report. music: silent night. donald trump's in town and there's a general election next week — two things likely to make borisjohnson‘s team pretty nervous. they're hoping for harmony and the convention is that world leaders don't get involved in other country's domestic affairs, but this president doesn't tend to play by the rules.

i've won a lot of elections for a lot of people. earlier, he couldn't quite keep his views to himself. i'll stay out of the election. you know that i was a fan of brexit, i called it. and of course he had an opinion about britain's political leaders too. i think boris is very capable and he'll do a good job. do you have words for a possible prime minister corbyn? i can work with anybody, i'm a very easy person to work with. now in full flow, the president tackled another controversial issue. should the national health service be on the table in trade talks? no, no, not at all, i have nothing to do with it, never even thought about it. i don't even know where that rumour surfaced. we have absolutely nothing to do with it at... we wouldn't want to. if you handed it to us on a silver platter, we want nothing to do with it. rewind six months and it was a different story. when you're dealing in trade, everything's on the table, so the nhs or anything else, a lot more than that. he hastily retracted that comment, but opposition parties have been

suspicious ever since. obviously, we want a good relationship with the usa, but the trade talks that have been undertaken by the government have been done in secret and we do not accept any idea of the us companies coming in to run our national health service, or the idea of extending the patents on medicines that would increase the costs for our national health service. last week, jeremy corbyn produced papers showing talks about a uk/us trade deal took place when theresa may was in charge, but there's no proof of negotiations about privatising the health service. i can categorically rule out that any part of the nhs will be on the table in any trade negotiations. including pharmaceuticals? including pharmaceuticals. this is pure loch ness monster, bermuda triangle stuff. mrjohnson‘s focus today was on security, visiting salisbury, where a former russian spy was poisoned last year. this close to election day, boris johnson's team would prefer to be

controlling events. rocky road? rocky nine days. and they can't guarantee that donald trump will go along with that. donald trump did come here for a reception, but it was alongside the other nato leaders and it does feel as if it is a matter of safety in numbers for boris johnson. as if it is a matter of safety in numbers for borisjohnson. there are no one—to—one meetings planned, no plans either for no one—to—one meetings planned, no plans eitherfor a joint no one—to—one meetings planned, no plans either for a joint press conference. that is because the conservative team now a ringing endorsement from mr trump is not necessarily a vote—winner with everyone. i'm sure they will be keeping a close eye on the president's twitter feed and you get the sense from the campaign team for the sense from the campaign team for the conservatives, they want to get through this summit and back to campaigning. thank you. divisions between nato leaders have

been exposed during the day. president trump accused the president macron of france of being ‘nasty‘ and ‘disrespectful‘ for describing nato as ‘brain dead'. mr macron defended his comments and highlighted differences with turkey — which are threatening to derail efforts to set up a new missile defence system. this report from our diplomatic correspondent james robbins contains some flashing images. buckingham palace and a birthday party for nato leaders to celebrate their military alliance and 70 years success keeping the peace through collective defence. everyone on best behaviour for the queen, but nato is a family currently at war with itself. france's president macron has been strongly critical of donald trump's isolationist role and called nato strategically brain dead. today he stood by those remarks, even after mr trump rebuked him publicly. when you make a statement like that,

that is a very, very nasty statement to make to, including them, to essentially 28 countries. i think that, you know, they have a very high unemployment rate in france. france is not doing well economically at all. in fact, the alliance faces another far larger threat to unity — the military action by nato member, turkey, inside northern syria. turkey's president erdogan is enraged nato isn't100% supportive of his fight against kurdish troops that he brands terrorists. but president macron completely rejects the turkish position. when i look at turkey, they now are fighting against those who fought with us, shoulder to shoulder, against isis. 70 years ago when nato was established it all felt so much simpler.

the american—led alliance faced a single enemy, the soviet union underjosef stalin. it was soviet communism which eventually collapsed. nato survived, but now struggles to agree its future role. nato is the most successful alliance in history, because we have been able to change when the world is changing. that is exactly what we're doing again, and the fact is that we're doing more together in this alliance now that we've done for many decades. but that sounds far too upbeat to those who think the alliance has lost its way and needs to face up to developing threats. so what are some of those future threats nato has to face? still from russia and there is talk now of china, as well, not an adversary, nato insists, but a worry, nevertheless. and there is concern about possible future cyber attacks on satellites in space. how would nato react to that? president trump is now claiming

success, pushing other states to increase their nato spending and so reduce america's 70% share. but other splits over the way ahead won't be resolved in a few hours of formal talks tomorrow. james robbins, bbc news, buckingham palace. for the first time during this election campaign, jeremy corbyn has apologised for incidents of anti—semitism in the labour party. he was criticised for refusing to do so four times in a recent interview with the bbc‘s andrew neil. speaking on itv, mr corbyn said he was "very sorry" and insisted he was dealing with the issue. i'm sorry, our party and me, yeah, do not accept anti—semitism in any form. obviously, i'm very sorry for everything that's happened, but i want to make this clear, i'm dealing with it. i've dealt with it. the broadcasting regulator ofcom has decided not to investigate a conservative party complaint against last week's channel a debate

on the climate crisis. the party had complained about the broadcaster's intention to "empty chair" the conservatives with an ice sculpture. the media regulator said the use of the ice did not break rules on due impartiality and broadcasting during elections. the past decade looks set to be the warmest in history, according to scientists at the world meteorological organisation. the report — presented at the un climate talks in madrid — also confirms that the exceptional temperatures are being driven by greenhouse gas emissions. from madrid, our science editor david shukman reports. it's been a year of terrifying extremes, with fires from australia to the arctic, forcing people from their homes and releasing huge amounts of carbon dioxide which further speeds up the heating of the planet. the great ice sheets have seen record melting as well. we reported earlier this

year from greenland. melt water pours into the oceans, and their level is rising faster than ever. and the higher the seas rise, the more devastating the floods can be in coastal areas. this was thailand. and un scientists say it's part of a pattern that's becoming more severe. at a news conference here in madrid, they came up with a stark conclusion — that the past ten years are on course to be the hottest decade on record. this is a clear climate change signal. in fact, it's notjust one year that's warmer than previous years. we're seeing, you know, entire decades. so since the mid—1980s each successive decade has been warmer than the previous one, and that's not good news. that means that heatwaves are set to strike more often. as last summer, when overheated equipment disrupted trains in london and other parts of the country. all this is happening as the oceans and the land get hotter,

and it's really striking to see that. the lines here represent temperatures over the last 100 years or so, and they used to all be below the average for the 20th century. but more recently they've all been above that average, getting hotter all the time, and no sign of that process ending. the talks here in madrid are meant to find answers, but as ever they are moving incredibly slowly. hoping to bring new impetus is the 16—year—old campaigner greta thunberg, arriving today by sailfrom america. now a global celebrity, she is losing patience at the world's response to climate change. i think people are underestimating the force of angry kids. applause. and she had this message for world leaders... that they listen to the science and act on the science, that they start treating this crisis like a crisis, and cooperate internationally.

for a teenager who has inspired millions around the world, crowds on the quayside. shifting opinion in the conference hall is another matter. david shukman, bbc news, madrid. so where do things stand tonight? 0n the one hand you have more than 60 countries pledging to go carbon—neutral and dozens of companies. but the world's biggest emitter, china, its emissions are going up and america is being pulled out of the process by donald trump. so collectively what matters is what the rest of the world can now do. thank you. the family of the man who carried out last week's attack near london bridge say they are shocked and saddened by what happened and that they totally condemn his actions. usman khan killed jack

merritt and saskia jones and injured three others, before being shot dead by police. in a short statement, his family expressed condolences to the families of the victims. the 12 year—old boy killed in a hit—and—run incident outside a school in essex has been named as harley watson. he was struck near debden park high school yesterday afternoon. a 51—year—old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder, as well as the attempted murder of five other people injured in the crash. 0ur correspondent tolu adeoye reports from loughton. harley watson has been described by his family as a good, kind, helpful and lovely boy. in a statement released this evening they have said they are devastated by his death. yesterday morning harley went to debden park high school as usual, but the 12—year—old did not make it home. he was one of several students hit by a car on this road in loughton, just metres from his school. this woman's son was one

of those hit in the crash. flew down there, just jumped out of the car. i went over to who i thought was alfie, but it was harley. i saw him in the corridors — i talked to him sometimes. it'sjust heartbreaking to see his little body there, really. following an appeal police arrested 51—year—old terry glover late last night in loughton. he's being held under suspicion of murder, six counts of attempted murder, and causing death by dangerous driving. the school has been opened today and counselling has been offered to students. there have also been prayers at a local church. many people are just asking why this happened to an innocent boy who was just trying to make his way home from school. police have said a second incident where a car mounted a pavement at another school yesterday may be linked to the fatal crash. they're still appealing for witnesses, as a family and a community mourn a young life cut short so suddenly.

tolu adeoye, bbc news. the uk has risen in the rankings in an international league table of educational achievement. the so—called pisa tests compare how 15 year—olds across the globe perform in science, maths and reading. so there's progress — but the uk still lags behind the top 3 performers — china, singapore and macau. in reading the uk is 14th — up from 22nd three years ago. it's 14th in science too — up one place from 15th last time. and in maths — the uk is 18th — up from 27th. but alongside those improvements — the uk's teenagers were also found to have among the lowest levels of ‘life satisfaction‘. 0ur education editor branwenjeffreys has been studying the details. every lesson starts

with reading in this school. a science class exploring the words for crop circles... phenomenon. make sure you understand what that means... like one big book club, everybody also reads for pleasure. the idea — turning reluctant readers into booklovers. in primary i never thought in my spare time to go and read, but now i do. if you at least get in 20 minutes a day, then it'sjust going to help you with so much of your vocabulary. "suddenly he awoke and was running..." boosting reading skills should help results in other subjects. i can't have any child leave this school feeling low about their own reading skills. it's so important to me that these children can access conversation as they grow older, and that's notjust conversation towards their exams, and things that will get them grades, but also actually being part of the world. reading skills matter because they help us

make sense of the world, notjust in books, but also online. being able to tell the difference between fact and fiction. and while the uk is making a little progress, some other countries are still doing much, much better. these pisa tests have led to changes in what teenagers are taught. changes almost ten years ago in scotland, more recently in wales, and a big shake—up in gcses in england. in maths there has been progress in the uk, but take a look at these differences since 2006. england has improved in the last three years. wales, starting lower, but a similar rate of improvement. while northern ireland is stable, scotland has dipped slightly further in maths, though it has bounced back in reading. but the uk does less well on the happiness of teenagers, something the students

in northern ireland recognise. i do know of a few people who are kind of upset and feel they're not living their life to the full, not going out and getting every opportunity they can, which is quite sad. the stress with schoolwork and then falling behind, and may be issues at home that some people could experience, it alljust adds up. a reminder, perhaps, that success in education can be measured in many ways. branwen jeffreys, bbc news. elon musk — the billionaire founder of electric car company tesla — is facing a trial in california, accused of defamation. he is alleged to have called british cave diver vernon unsworth a paedophile on twitter. mr unsworth, who helped to rescue i2 boys and their football coach from a flooded cave in thailand last year, is seeking unspecified damages. mr musk denies the accusation.

a bbc investigation has found that more than 93,000 people suspected of violent crimes and sexual offences have been released by police since 2017 without restrictions on their movements and who they can contact. the figures are based on nearly half the police forces in england and wales. the new arrangements were introduced after a series of high—profile cases — but one expert has told the bbc this is potentially a ‘major scandal brewing' — as bbc newsnight‘s james clayton reports. # all the kings horses and all the kings men # couldn't put humpty together again... she was just a character, she really was a joy. we are haunted, haunted by what happened to our girl. in september 2018 kay richardson told police her estranged husband had raped her. rather than him being bailed with strict conditions, the police released him under investigation with no conditions.

that meant that they had to give him back the keys to the marital home, the home where he went on to murder kay. i said, go home, pet, and get yourself some rest. but little did i know... that he was hiding in the house to kill her. because the bloody police had given him the key back. the independent office for police conduct cleared the officers involved, but the coroner raised concerns about the system "released under investigation" that was used in kay's case. in 2017 after concerns that people were being placed on pre—charge bail for too long, theresa may changed the rules and it became more difficult for police to use bailfor long periods.

police forces were encouraged to use pre—charge bail less and instead use release under investigation. there is no central register for how many times the police use released under investigation or for what, so newsnight asked police forces in england and wales in a freedom of information request. half of them responded. what we found was that since 2017 nearly 100,000 people who have been accused of violent or sexual crimes have been released under investigation with no bail and no restrictions. in 2016 released under investigation was barely used for suspects in violent and sexual crimes. 0ur figures show, though, that that ballooned in 2017 and that continued in 2018 and so far in 2019. the fact is, being released under investigation was never really designed for those types of offences, and we are seeing an increase in the use for serious violence for offences of a sexual nature, rape, and domestic violence cases where people are being released under investigation. they should be under bail.

such as, you do not go into a certain area. last month the government announced its intention to review the system of release under investigation. the whole system needs an overhaul, it does, it really does. it's unlikely any review, though, will give kay's family faith in the police. james clayton, bbc news. you can see more on that story on newsnight — on bbc 2 at 1030 tonight. more on the election now — and throughout the campaign — we've been focusing on parts of the uk where seats are expected to be closely contested. tonight — we're in the northern ireland constituency of fermanagh and south tyrone — on the border with the irish republic ? the border which has been a major issue in the brexit process. my colleague clive myrie is in the market town of enniskillen tonight.

yes, good evening, huw. we re here in the most westerly constituency in the united kingdom, in the shadow of the imposing enniskillen castle. now the seat of fermanagh and south tyrone has frequently been won with very small majorities ? repeatedly flipping between nationalist sinn fein and the ulster unionist party. in 2017, michelle gildernew won the seat for sinn fein byjust 875 votes. the ira's bobby sands won the seat whilst on hunger strike in maze prison in 1981. he died less than a month later. and in the eu referendum vote, 59% of the population wanted to remain, with several businesses in the area concerned how their livelihoods could be affected, if border checks are introduced. so, brexit, then, on people 5 minds in the election. but dig a little deeper in a land where there 5 been no functioning government at stormont for close to three years, and you ll find other concerns —

some very deep, that weigh heavy. this is divided soil. a land where the sun warms two beliefs. rival loyalties that have caused past pain now play out in an election touched by brexit. this is literally the front line of the debate, a uk constituency that merges seamlessly with the european union. eamon? and eamon fitzpatrick‘s business straddles both worlds. we are in northern ireland now, and this is the republic? yes. so this is the border? yes. that man going past there, that's our southern postman. that's the postman... the southern postman. ..from that side. bringing, what, mail over here? bringing mail over here. what is it you want to hear in this election that's going to make you feel any better? well, isuppose, unfortunately, you're not going to hear about stormont, because there's

nobody in stormont... there's no one there, so it's time people got their heads down together and put the country first and said, "listen here, boys, this is what we're going to have to do." the uncertainty over brexit is no good for anyone here. at enniskillen‘s livestock market, republic of ireland farmers buy northern irish cattle. overall, trade across the frontier is worth more than £1 billion to those north of the border. frictionless trade means jobs, decent livelihoods, future. but there's an irony... this is the coverage in the aftermath of the referendum. though the ramifications of brexit are most keenly felt in northern ireland, it's the old ties that bind — orange and green, unionist and nationalist, that swing elections here. it comes back down to the whole orange and green thing here.

it's how all the elections that have passed have always ended up. so that sectarian divide transcends everything, even the upheaval of brexit? it does. but if issues of identity drive political action, are voters being best served? enniskillen‘s caritas choir is a cross—community collective of catholics and protestants. the everyday concerns for some in both northern ireland's communities on health care, schools, transport — so many issues — are too often ignored. our political parties seem to speak up for what their party believes instead of representing the people here. they're in a public service position. they're elected to perform a service for the people. itjust is appalling that nobody was there to fight the your battle. that's about it. the resignation of tired voters, in one corner of the united kingdom

where the past too often dictates the future. the sun descending over the water here and we have been here over 3—4 days and the more people you talk to, the sense of being forgotten and left behind, ignored even, notjust by local pit of decisions but by westminster, it is very powerful —— not just by local westminster, it is very powerful —— notjust by local artisans. westminster, it is very powerful —— not just by local artisans. do people feel the situation will improve after the election? there is hope but not expectation. —— not just by local politicians. and with that, back to the studio. thanks for joining us. the turner prize is awarded annually to an artist born, living or working in britain — for an outstanding exhibition or public presentation of their work anywhere in the world. in the past few minutes — this year's winner has been announced — and in an unusual move, it's been jointly awarded to all four nominees.

the artists — who've expressed concerns over division and isolation — requested that the judges consider awarding them a joint prize. let's take a look at some of their work. the jordanian artist lawrence abu hamdan had been the favourite. his work explores the role of sound in crime. describing himself as a ‘private ear‘ — he works with human rights organisations investigating abuses around the world. helen cammock from london explores marginalised voices in history — using archive film, photos, texts and performances — particularly surrounding the role of women and civil rights in northern ireland. the colombian 0scar murillo uses recycled materials in his sculptures and paintings — which reflect on his own experiences of community and globalisation. and sculptures by tai shani — who grew up in a commune in india — are inspired by science fiction. she's attempted to create a futuristic feminist city.

0ur arts editor will gompertz is at the award ceremony in margate. good evening, i am good evening, iam in good evening, i am in dreamland good evening, iam in dreamland in margate where it has been a roller—coaster ride for the turner prize which ended in a standing ovation when the editor of vogue announced that all of the four artists had been given the winning prize. that is what they asked for. the chair of thejudges prize. that is what they asked for. the chair of the judges is alex who is with me. we have had the booker prize which did not have a single winner and now we have the turner prize which has four winners. they have won it as a collective. but all four were nominated and in the end you just chose to give them the award as a collective. does it mean that the idea of these competitions is out of fashion? no, because it
