this is bbc news. welcome if you're watching here in the uk, on pbs in america or around the globe. 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 take to the streets, angry at the lack of protection in the battle against covid—19.

welcome to the programme. we will start 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! all: 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. earlier, i spoke about the impact this ruling may have on trump's program and credibility with taylor griffin. he's a republican strategist who served in the white house under president george w bush. well, i think a lot of people have made up their mind about donald trump already. i think though it does energise his base supporters who feel like that 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's room for debate

about that, but the decision is, as your earlier segment probably explained, wasn't about explicitly whether he or not he could end this programme, it was about whether he followed the proper procedures for doing so. that nuance is missed on people. and i think it breaks along party lines, like it has been for very long time here. so, hang on, just to pick up on what you said — you said any defeat by donald trump could actually bolster him 7 that seems like the most supreme that seems like the most supreme political strategy that anyone has ever come up with. yeah. that's the irony, isn't it? i think it's an interesting nature of this time and it's sort of a nature of populist politics. donald 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 ones he is trying to appeal to are working—class, midwesterners and that kind of thing, and he's trying to show he has their interests at mind. now, i'm not saying that donald trump is trying to lose just to win support,

i'm just saying losing can also have some ancillary benefits for him. fascinating. what you think he will do next on this issue? i think he'll continue pressing forward. i think he'll put pressure on congress for it. i think that he wants this fight. this fight riles up his base, it makes them excited, and getting his base excited and out to the polls is something that's going to be key to his re—election. ok, let's move onto the book, then, by mr bolton, which has been dominating headlines for the last couple of days there in the united states. what do you make of it? well, i think it's a particularly credible critique of the president — i think that's why you've seen such a strong reaction from the white house. john bolton saying in an interview this morning and also in the book that donald trump was not competent to be president — he was not "fit to be president," i think were his exact words — and criticised him for being focused on his re—election, rather than the good

of the country. john bolton is a — has always been a fairly abrasive and controversial character in washington, so people might take that with a grain of salt. i don't think that it changes a lot and it goes into some of the same dynamic where donald trump positions john bolton as an institutional washington hack. they're trying to throw grist in the mill with the controversy over whether or not there was classified information included in the book. 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 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, because we have become kind of immune to it, the language he uses in history

to feed, the personal insults —— the language he uses in his twitter 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. do ordinary americans mind that their president goes around saying things like this? yes. and i think even some of his supporters mind this. they will defend him, but a lot of them will privately say "i wish he didn't tweet so much". "yes, he's a fighter, he's rough around the edges on twitter‘ but he is fighting for us" — that is his supporters‘ point of view. that doesn't change their support. 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 brawler 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. a major cyber attack is under way against australia targeting government, industry and political parties. prime minister scott morrison says a sophisticated state—based actor is behind the attack, but didn't say which country was responsible. mr morrison told a news conference in canberra that the intrusions had been intensifying in recent months. this activity is targeting a range of sectors, including government, industry, political organisations, education, health, essential service providers and operators of other critical infrastructure. it is a sophisticated state—based cyber actor because of the scale and nature of the targeting and the tradecraft used. those who are engaged in this

are not doing this to help us — that's certainly not their intention — and so, you could describe it as malicious. 0ur correspondent in sydney, phil mercer, has more details on the attacks. well, the prime minister, scott morrison, giving a fairly lengthy press conference about these cyberattacks that apparently stretched back many months. —— apparently stretch back many months. the prime minister, though, not giving details on who he thinks may be responsible — he was asked in this press conference if he thought china, whose relationship with australia has been fairly testy in recent times, could have been responsible. in response, the prime minister, mr morrison, 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 of levels of australian

—— 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 cyberattacks in recent times. —— an intensification of these cyberattacks in recent times. and phil, 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 years trying to beef up australia's cybersecurity, but he did say these attacks were malicious and ongoing, and he also said 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 says spoken to his international allies,

including the british prime minister borisjohnson. phil mercer there. 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 resist the nazi invasion. president macron and british prime minister boris johnson watched a fly—past by air force planes from both countries. kenya has become a non—permanant member of the united nations security council. it joins norway, ireland, india and mexico, serving —— kenya has become a non—permanent member of the united nations security council. it joins norway, ireland, india and mexico, serving a 2—year term. canada lost out, despite an expensive campaign. justin trudeau had invested heavily, including inviting diplomats to a celine dion concert in new york. the brazilian president jair bolsonaro has attempted to distance himself from the arrest of a former aide to his son flavio. fabricio queiroz was arrested outside the home of a bolsonaro family lawyer. he's suspected of being part

of a scheme to embezzle the salaries of phantom employees in the rio state assembly. flavio bolsonaro denies any wrongdoing. thousands of public hospital workers in tunisia have walked out, calling for improvement in the health system in the wake of the coronavirus crisis. 0nly emergency services were operating in public hospitals across the country as part of the strike. simonjones reports —— simon jones reports. taking to the streets in tunis, doctors and nurses who've been on the front line in the battle against coronavirus, now on strike. tunisia has suffered a relatively low level of infections, but these workers are demanding better working conditions and contracts, as well as more resources in their hospitals. translation: during the covid—i9 crisis, there were only two or three professions that did not stop working and fulfilled their responsibilities for the country, but as usual, we were the first for battle but the last for recognition.

despite the protests, hospitals have remained open to treat emergency patients but the strength of feeling is clear to see. protests, too, in bolivia, where almost 700 people have died after contracting coronavirus. doctors saying there's a shortage of protective masks and gowns, which puts them at a greater risk of becoming ill. translation: we have worn—out work clothes which we are reusing, that eats away at our integrity and that of the people, and unfortunately, since the beginning, we've had to buy our own personal protective equipment. in russia, there's been a big increase in the number of medical workers killed by covid—i9, according to the healthcare watchdog. it says almost 500 doctors, nurses and other workers have died — up from just over 100 three weeks ago. and in spain this week, nurses in madrid warned they would struggle to cope with a potential second wave of coronavirus infections.

governments have said they are doing all they can to deal with an unprecedented situation, making sure medical staff have the support they need, but many frontline workers say they are exhausted and fearful of what's to come. simon jones, bbc news. stay with us on bbc world news. still to come: how one proud parent captured those memories of high school graduation on camera when celebrations just weren't possible. there was a bomb in the city centre. a code word known to be one used by the ira was given. army bomb experts were examining a suspect van when there was a huge explosion. the south african parliament has destroyed the foundation of apartheid by abolishing the population registration act, which for 40 years, forcibly classified each citizen according to race.

targeting government institutions. the death 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 10 times more likely to be stopped and searched than white people. 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's12 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 11! 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. the coronavirus pandemic means students graduating from high school in the us

are being robbed of the usual parties and the huge celebrations. instead, they get a zoom ceremony. award—winning photographer matt mendelsohn was struck by that sense of loss at his daughter‘s high school in virginia, so he took portraits of all 500 graduating students, for a photo essay he calls ‘not forgotten‘. theme t0 breakfast club plays: # hey, hey, hey, hey, whooo...#. go that way one little step. that‘s it, right there. the original intent was to try and capture a little bit of loss, so the baseball player sitting on the porch, tossing himself a baseball with nowhere to go, the swimmer in the hot bathtub, with her kickboard, because there‘s no pool that‘s open, the hockey player with his skates on, on his he front lawn because there‘s no rink. oh my god, look at that light on you! i wanted it to have a

unifying element to it. i wanted there to be some kind of glue that kept all 500 portraits together, and that‘s this beat—up old backdrop. i definitely want my shoot to involve me playing violin because it‘s what my life centres around. jackson is a very talented violinist. the photograph really worked because it was windy and you can see the backdrop and his hair is blowing as he plays — it was just this great moment. tara, with the game of thrones battle axes, she is wearing the dress she would have worn to prom. it kind of makes me look like a video gamer or story—book character, which i thought was insanely cool. my stepfather recently passed away. he gave me the watch, it is a really nice watch. it is a way of representing time and the time that we have with each other

and how short that can be. adam swims for yorktown but he is also a member of the palestinian national swim team. so when matt asked me to chose one item that really expressed who i was, i could not think of anything besides the palestinian scarf. it is important to me to be able show my life through my paintings. i want to be able to tell a story. mingin is amazing, she comes from mongolia. she happens to live in an apartment building by the iwojima memorial. she‘s holding a painting that she did of herfamily, it‘s sort of where she became an american. it is just one of these great american stories of melting pot. boom boom boom right there — stop. this project has sort of rescued them from anonymity in some way and i think they all feel like that they were restored a little bit. it‘s just that they feel like they have been recognised. i have been recorded in history somewhere, i did not get forgotten. # don‘t you forget me, don‘t, don‘t, don‘t, don‘t you forget about me...#.

and those students graduated today, virtually, of course. congratulations to the class of 2020. the singer vera lynn, whose songs came to symbolise britain‘s spirit in the second world war, has died. she was 103. # we‘ll meet again # don‘t know when...# lynn was best known for her performances of ‘we‘ll meet again‘ and ‘the white cliffs of dover‘, both bearing a message of hope and optimism during the darkest days of the conflict. she was popular on the home front and especially among soldiers, earning her the nickname the forces‘ sweetheart. lynn‘s success continued after the war with hits on both sides of the atlantic.

you can reach me online at any time. this is bbc news. 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 sprayjust 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, 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 late in the day. then, overnight the last of that rain clears northwards. across the far north of scotland will get some rain for a time. working across shetland, for example, friday night. another mild night, temperatures staying into double figures. now, the weekend we do have another weather system to push through, so 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 dealfresher as well. now, saturday starts off on a bright note.

most of us having a dry start to the day, with some sunshine. however, the cloud and rain will fairly quickly spread into northern ireland through the afternoon. ahead of that rain, bands temperatures into the low 20s, with sunny spells widely across scotland, england and wales. late in the day, we will start to see rain arriving across wales, and western england, 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 about 22. that‘s your forecast.
