welcome to bbc news, i'm lewis vaughan jones. our top stories: president trump's attempt to make it easier to deport young immigrants fails in the supreme court. the news is welcomed by the so—called dreamers, those who came to the us as children. i have cried, i think, many more times in the past four years than in my whole life. australia's prime minister says his country is being targeted in a major cyber attack. frontline medical staff across the world are taking to the streets angry at the lack of protection in the battle against covid—19. and after the global protests over the killing of george floyd, we've a special report into why black britons are 10 times more likely to be stopped

by the police than white people. in the us, the supreme court has ruled against the trump administration. at the heart of the case is the fate of hundreds of thousands of immigrants who were brought to the united states illegally as children, and who want to regularise their status. they're known as the ‘dreamers‘. president obama protected them from deportation through something called daca, or deferred action for childhood arrivals. president trump wanted to get rid of that. but the supreme court ruled 5—4 against him. here's nada tawfik. say it loud, say it clear! immigrants are welcome here! news at the supreme court's ruling was a ray of light to dreamers living with the bleak prospect of deportation from the only

home they've ever known. after years of legal battles, the nation's highest court rejected president trump's attempt to end daca protections for about 700,000 young undocumented immigrants. chiefjustice john roberts joined the court's four more liberal members and wrote in the majority opinion that the administration's move was unlawful because it was arbitrary and capricious. jose martinez, a dreamer from california, says the years of uncertainty were traumatising. i have cried, i think, many more times in the past four years than in my whole life. i will immediately terminate president obama's illegal executive order on immigration. this is a major blow to president trump's hard—line immigration policy that he made central to his 2016 campaign. on twitter, he called the decision "horrible and politically—charged." but democrats, including congressional leaders, rejoiced.

i cried tears ofjoy when i heard the decision. these wonderful daca kids and theirfamilies have a huge burden lifted off their shoulders, and now they can just work and live and become americans, as they want, and i am confident they will become american citizens someday soon. joe biden said if elected president, he would work to make daca permanent by sending a bill to congress on his first day in office. and president obama expressed the need for leaders willing to fight for immigrants. the court's ruling means officials will have to provide a more robust reason if it wishes to end the programme. it's not yet clear how the administration will respond, given several recent court defeats. so what we've seen over the last two weeks is a tide change that could be potentially disastrous for the trump administration, and this just months away from the presidential election. you've got the ruling on lgbtq, you've got the daca decision, you've got a ruling on sanctuary powers in california.

daca has broad bipartisan support. despite that though, the programme's future remains uncertain. the supreme court decision is just one victory for dreamers hoping to one day be recognised as american citizens. nada tawfik, bbc news. and in further bad news for the us president, facebook says it has removed trump campaign adverts containing a red triangle symbol that was used by the nazis to label their political prisoners. the ads were aimed against antifa, the left—wing grouping of activists that mr trump describes as violent agitators. facebook said the ads violated its policy against organized hate. you obviously want to be careful to allow someone to put up careful to allow someone to put upa careful to allow someone to put up a symbol to condemn it or to discuss at but in this situation we don't see either of those, we won't allow it on the platform and we will remove

it. that's what we saw with this ad and anywhere that symbol is used we would take the same action, so we will be consistent in enforcing either whether our systems identify the symbols, and as you would expect when we identify something like this we banked it within our system so we can look for other instances of it where it might appear so we can find it and remove it automatically and also if there is something we must, because we certainly aren't perfect, if someone were we certainly aren't perfect, if someone were to bring that to our attention we would take action there as well against the same symbol. in a few minutes i'll be discussing what ahs been a pretty bad day for president trump with the republican strategist taylor griffin so do stay with us for that. australia's prime minister, scott morrison, has revealed that a major cyber attack is under way targeting government, industry and political parties by what he called a sophisticated state—based actor. mr morrison told a news conference in canberra that the intrusions had been intensifying in recent months, but he wouldn't say who was responsible. 0ur correspondent in sydney, phil mercer, has more details

on the attacks. the prime minister scott morrison giving a fairly lengthy press conference about these cyber attacks that a p pa re ntly these cyber attacks that apparently stretch back many months. the prime minister, though, not giving specific details on who he thinks may have been responsible. was asked in this press conference if he thought china, whose relationship with australia has been fairly testy and recent times, could have been responsible. in response to the prime minister saying that there are many other state—based actors, what he means there is foreign governments and other foreign institutions who have the capabilities to carry out these sort of attacks that, as we say, have been going back many, many months, targeting all levels of australian government, political parties and also the health and education sectors as well as the business community as well. so the prime minister speaking

out today, in his words, to raise awareness of what he says has been an intensification of these cyber attacks in recent times. so what about people's personal data? according to the pm there has been no large—scale breaches of personal information. the prime minister also saying that a lot of money has been spent in recent yea rs of money has been spent in recent years trying to beef up australia's cyber security but he did say that these attacks we re he did say that these attacks were malicious and ongoing, and he also said that he wasn't surprised. he said this is the world in which we live and australia, like many other nations, had to be wary and confront this threat. he did say that he has spoken to his international allies including the british prime minister borisjohnson. let's get some of the day's other news. the french president was in london to take part in celebrations to mark the 80th anniversary of charles de gaulle's bbc broadcast, urging the people of france

to cancel a programme that protects from deportation people who entered the us illegally as children. the news came just hours after more trouble for the president with the ongoing row over publication of a book by his former security advisor, john bolton. more on that in a second. to talk more about these we can speak to taylor griffin. he's a republican strategist who served in the white house and treasury department under president george w bush. thank you very much for being with us. it's my pleasure. we had a little earlier on in the programme the ins and outs of the court decision. rather than going into the details about again, on wider level, what impact do you think this decision has on donald trump's programme, his credibility, the election coming up?” programme, his credibility, the election coming up? i think a lot of people have made up their mind about donald trump already. i think it does energise his base supporters who feel like president trump is constantly being thwarted by

the sort of institutional washington, the supreme court being an example of it. and at the same time, i think this is a decision that i think a lot of legal scholars would say is probably appropriate. there is room for debate about that but the decision is, as your earlier segment probably explained, wasn't about explicitly whether he could and this programme, but whether he followed the proper procedures for doing so. that new ones —— nuanceis for doing so. that new ones —— nuance is missed on people. so, any defeat by donald trump could actually bolster him? that seems like the most supreme irony in political strategy anyone has ever come up strategy anyone has ever come up with? yeah. i think it's an interesting nature of this time. and it sort of the nature of populist politics. donald trump positions himself as someone trump positions himself as someone who is fighting the powers that be in washington,

the washington insiders, or the deep state, as he calls them, on behalf of his supporters. the people here are —— has tried to appeal to our working class people. i'm not saying donald trump is trying to lose just to win support, i'm saying losing can also have some ancillary benefits for him. fascinating. what you think you will do next on this issue?” think you will continue pressing forward, putting pressure on congress for it. i think she wants this fight, this fight riles up his base —— she wants —— he wants, and getting this fight out to the polls will be key in his campaign. and about mrjohn bolton's new book, what do you make of it? well, i think it's a particularly credible

critique of the president. i think that's why you have seen such a strong reaction from the white house. john bolton also did an interview this morning. he is saying that donald trump is not fit to be president and criticised him for being focused on his real action rather than the good of the country. john bolton has always been a fairly abrasive and controversial character in washington, so people might ta ke washington, so people might take that with a grain of salt. i don't think that it changes the light, and it goes into some of the same dynamic where donald trump positions john bolton as an institutional washington heart. they are trying to throw grist in the mill with the controversy over whether or not there was classified information included in the book stop but i think the fight tends to be good for donald trump. you see his base support get more and more solid when he is fighting. they like to see him fight. they elected

him asa to see him fight. they elected him as a brawler. if you look at his support among the republican party, despite how low it is among the nation, it is quite high. interesting. can i ask you something quite specific? i wonder, i ask you something quite specific? iwonder, because i ask you something quite specific? i wonder, because we have become kind of immune to it. the language he uses in history to feed, the personal insults he throws, no other president has done that in that way. we have never seen it before. i suppose we are quite numb to it now. two ordinary americans mind that their president goes around saying things like this? yes. and i think even some of his supporters mind this was that they will defend him, but a lot of them will privately save i wish you wouldn't tweet so much —— will privately say i wish he didn't tweet so much was that yes, he's a fighter, his rough around the edges on twitter but he is fighting for us. that is his supporters' point of view. soi his supporters' point of view. so i guess the reaction among

the i guess, more civilised, if you could say, but what he would describe as the more elite that is immaterial to his base. they want to see him as a fighter and a brollo and some of the more polite people in his following may get a little — wish he would do a little less but it doesn't change their support for him overall. fascinating. thank you for your time. always a pleasure. the killing of george floyd, an african—american being detained by police in minneapolis, has led to demonstrations around the world, including here in the uk, where it's also prompted black people to share their experiences of treatment by the police. according to the latest figures for england and wales, black people are almost ten times more likely to be stopped and searched than white people and they are three times more likely to be arrested. the government has announced a commission into racial

inequality. but as my colleague clive myrie reports, many are calling for action, not words. racism can manifest as crude — but when subtle, it causes the same pain. it's 12 o'clock on a bright summer's day and a motorist is stopped by a police patrol in cambridgeshire looking for drug dealers. the reason i stopped you. yeah? no offence to you, but you're a black male, 0k? i'm not going to lie to you. so that's racist that you've stopped me? i'm not saying that at all. the reason i've stopped you, and i'll explain if you let me finish... the driver's name is ryan and he doesn't want to show his face. police have stopped him more than 20 times in the last several years. he says the video can be summed up in one word. disgusting. when i first came to ely, i got stopped by a police officer just before i started driving — i was on foot. and he said, "you're a new face around here, i haven't seen you before, but i'm just going to give you a little warning — just because you're black, it's more likely you will get stopped by the police round here." the footage is five years old,

but george floyd's death in america prompted ryan's sister to put it online, where it's been seen millions of times. the independent office for police conduct is investigating cambridgeshire police. countless inquiries and reports tell us again and again racism is a problem in our society. the brixton riots led to lord scarman's indictment of racial disadvantage in inner cities. the killing of stephen lawrence saw macpherson's castigation of the met police as institutionally racist. discrimination in the workplace, deaths in police custody, bias across wider society and the criminal justice system all got the same treatment. bias in schools, and the windrush review. yet few recommendations have been implemented, and now more and more videos are appearing online highlighting problems with the police. right, listen, open the vehicle, please, or we are going to have to put the windows in.

neomi bennett's car has been stopped late at night. officers have blocked her path with their patrol vehicle in what's called a "hard stop". there's something in here that you are trying to hide. like what?! frightened, she refuses to comply and is arrested and held in a cell for 18 hours. but nothing illegal was found in her car and her conviction for obstructing the police has been overturned. an injury to me. you're scaring the life out of me. the officers had no clue who they were stopping. boris, can you just say hello to my son? yes, what's his name? his name's meshack. hello, meshack. how are you? neomi was awarded the british empire medal for services to nursing and went to downing street. all the police saw, she says, was her skin colour. and especially when i explained to the officer that i am a nurse and i'm nota criminal, and they didn't accept that and they progressed it and then they ended up taking me back to the station and locked me up. i don't think that would happen to a white person. what do we want?

justice! when do we want it? now! the met police says it's assessing neomi's complaint. but to understand racism, you have to try to walk in others' shoes. reporting on the black lives matter marches, i came across many who'd been judged by the police. i've never been stopped, but i regularly get racist abuse as an employee of the bbc. the vilification isn't in the mind, it isn't about perceptions — it's real. black lives matter! listen to barrister leon lynch, stopped seven times in his life by police. the first when he was 1a and the last time aged 25 — by armed officers. but the whole time throughout that incident i remember thinking to myself, here i am, a young, black, articulate man who knows the law. who knows the law and yet i'm powerless to stop these officers. how many people are placed in situations like that but don't know the law, aren't well

spoken, haven't been taught their rights by their parents beforehand? and it — it scares you. in the wake of george floyd's death, too many black people here say a few bad officers are tainting everyone. events in america may have triggered a reckoning on both sides of the atlantic. clive myrie, bbc news. next, maurice — a french cockerel who achieved fame for his early morning crowing has died. maurice became an unlikely symbol of rural resistance. neighbours accused him of noise pollution and that lead to a court battle. well, last year thejudge ruled in the rooster‘s favour, he was allowed to continue his morning crowing. maurice reportedly died of disease last month. his owner waited to break the news. now, dame vera lynn, one of the most popular british entertainers of the past century has died at the age of 103. the singer known was the forces' sweetheart throughout the second world

war, becoming enormously popular among the armed forces. we'll leave you with a reminder of the enduring popularity of dame vera lynn. # we'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when... # but i know we'll meet again some sunny day. # keep smiling through, just like you always do, till the blue skies drive the dark clouds far away. all: # we'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when, but i know we'll meet again some sunny day...

hello there. well, thursday turned out to be a particularly soggy day across england and wales with an area of persistent rain. the radar picture on thursday shows just how wet it was across england and wales, the heaviest rain really working into southern wales, where we picked up 50 millimetres of rain through the day in st athan and down on the south coast. take a look at this weather watcher picture. this is in fact a waterspout, you can see a little bit of spray being whipped up off the sea there. so we had all kinds of weather around on thursday, and that same area of low pressure remains with us over the next few hours. so, we have got more rain to come, wales, south—west england, the rain moving back into central, southern england and the south—west midlands. wet weather moves across northern ireland and there will be some rain for a time in northern england and southern scotland as well. so, "rain at times" probably best sums up things.

as we head into friday, though, our low pressure is going to be tending to ease away quite quickly north—westwards with the rain then getting shoved northwards. so most of us have a cloudy star to the day. rain across wales, the midlands, moving into northern england, where it will turn heavy and thundery through the afternoon. and some of those storms will make their way into southern scotland. a few showers further north in northern ireland as well, it will feel a little bit breezier — a little bit fresher across the far south of england as brighter skies work in later in the day. then, overnight the last of that rain clears northwards across the far north of scotland and some rain for a time working across shetland, for example, friday night. and a mild night, temperatures staying into double figures. 0n the weekend we do have another weather system to push through and we will get more rain at times, but actually, it's not a bad start to the weekend. you will notice, though, the weather turning a little bit windier at times. and through the weekend it's certainly going to turn a good deal fresher as well. now, saturday start off on a bright note, most of us

having a bright start of the day with some sunshine. however, the cloud and rain will fairly quickly spread into northern ireland throughout the afternoon. temperatures into the low 20s with sunny spells widely across scotland, england and wales. later in the day we will see rain arriving across wales, and western england and western scotland, too. that rain then moves eastwards overnight, still loitering across scotland as we head into sunday morning but clearing through, then followed by sunshine and heavy showers. these showers could be thundery for scotland and for northern ireland. but a fresher feel the weather, sunday's top temperature around 22. that's your forecast.

this is bbc news, the headlines:

the us supreme court has blocked president trump's attempt to to cancel an obama programme preventing the deportation of people who entered the us illegally as children. more than half—a—million migrants will be able to obtain renewable work permits. australia's prime minister scott morrison says major cyber attacks are taking place targeting government institutions and agencies involved in the country's critical infrastructure. he's just been holding a news conference outlining the attack. dame vera lynn, one of the most popular british entertainers of the past century has died at the age of 103. the singer was known as the forces' sweetheart throughout the second world war, becoming enormously popular among the armed forces and also in homes across the united kingdom as she lifted spirits and gave hope to so many.
