the deescalation around the plan. to get a full understanding of the situation and to protect its safety also is a un fact energy agency inspection should take place. all the time we are in contract with the ukrainian regulators, operators in russia because russia is in control. i was yesterday in istanbul, for example, negotiating with the russian side on the conditions of the visit. russian side on the conditions of the visit-— of the visit. the ieea chief rafael grossi _ of the visit. the ieea chief rafael grossi says - of the visit. the ieea chief rafael grossi says that - of the visit. the ieea chief rafael grossi says that he | of the visit. the ieea chief - rafael grossi says that he will lead a delegation which is hoped will take place in the coming days. until then, all ukraine and the wider world can hope is that zaporizhzhia functions as normal and that thursday dangerous situation is not repeated. the usjustice department is to publish a redacted version of the document that persuaded a judge to approve a warrant to search donald trump's home in florida earlier this month. the fbi search of the mar—a—lago estate was part of a criminal investigation into whether mr trump removed
5:05 am
classified documents when he left the white house. he's denied any wrongdoing. our north america correspondent anthony zurcher gave us the latest from the court in florida. judge bruce reinhart who works in the federal courtjust behind me has given the us justice department until noon on friday to release a redacted version of the affidavit the justice department presented to the judge as part of its request for a search warrant of donald trump's mar—a—largo estate about two and a half weeks ago. the judge released a 2—page memo saying he agreed with the proposed redactions from thejustice department. he said it protected the identity of potential witnesses and sources, and shielded the scope and strategy behind the federal investigation. that investigation is into the handling of classified material in the chaotic final days of donald trump's presidency, and the removal of the material from the white house in boxes to mar—a—largo where it was stored over
5:06 am
the past year and a half. this isn't the only legal proceedings around this search. there is another request by donald trump's lawyers to appoint a special master to review all of these documents, and then determine which ones thejustice department can keep and which ones should go back to donald trump. thejudge has issued a deadline of friday in that request for donald trump's lawyers to more carefully refine it to present what exactly they want from their request. so there are a lot of moving parts in this investigation right now, but the bigger picture is all of this is unprecedented. there has never been a federal search of a home of a former president, particularly a former president who still may harbour presidential ambitions, as donald trump does. it certainly is unprecedented. let's speak to our north america correspondent peter bowes. what might this provide in terms of clarification on why the fbi pushed
5:07 am
for this search? while, it might not provide anything immediately because as anthonyjust anything immediately because as anthony just explained anything immediately because as anthonyjust explained that the judge essentially agreed with the department ofjustice. all the department ofjustice. all the reductions that they want to preserve the integrity of their investigation. so, yes, this is a document with a lot of detail about this investigation. the detail that the judge investigation. the detail that thejudge initially investigation. the detail that the judge initially needed to allow that search and the search warrants to be issued. but we won't be hearing about witnesses, for example, we won't be healing detail about the strategy, the direction, the strategy, the direction, the scope of the investigation, the scope of the investigation, the sources that are being used and the methods that are being used by investigators. and it does raise the question — what else is there to know that can't be under those terms are redacted? and that is what we hope to find out later on today. i should say that we have had some reaction from the
5:08 am
donald trump team. a spokesperson has characterised it like this — is a cynical move to have these reductions as far as the trump side are concerned, hiding potential government corruption. they believe that this is a witch—hunt, a term of course that donald trump has used many times in the past but they believe that the search was unfounded.— unfounded. ok. but we understand _ unfounded. ok. but we understand that - unfounded. ok. but we understand that this . unfounded. ok. but wel understand that this was unfounded. ok. but we - understand that this was pushed for by a number of different media organisations. so, in that — within that context — does this sort of the dial further on this whole issue in this whole case or not? well, if we get _ this whole case or not? well, if we get more _ this whole case or not? well, if we get more detail- this whole case or not? well, if we get more detail - - this whole case or not? well, if we get more detail - if - this whole case or not? well, if we get more detail - if we | if we get more detail — if we get substantial detail that we have not had already — that is not in the public domain, yes, it will and it is absolutely true that clearly this is an extremely high profile case. there is a yearning for more information from both the media
5:09 am
and interested parties, and again it is interesting that donald trump's side, the former president wanted this entire document, this affidavit, to be released unredacted. so, as far as he is concerned that there is no information at this stage that should be kept under wraps. that is not what is going to happen. a lot of information will be kept back because the department of justice and this judge agrees believes that it will compromise the investigation. thank you. peter bowes in the state for us. there is a lot more of the story on the website including a timeline you can see here. find it all on bbc.com/news. you can also find it on the bbc news app so plenty more available on the website. let's get some of the day's other news. the french president emmanuel macron has said france and algeria should move beyond their painful shared history and look to the future.

i'm @vfritznews. we have your business news coming up in a few minutes. go and put the kettle on and make yourself a cup of tea and i will see you very soon. goodbye. hello. well, last night, parts of south—eastern britain were swamped by thunderstorms — 1.5 months of rainfall in one or two spots, much quieter out there right now. and friday promises to be a decent day, not all that sunny. we are expecting the clouds to increase through the course of the morning, into the afternoon — all as a result of this weather front, which is approaching from the west. it's a weaker weather front, there's not an awful lot of rain on it. perhaps a few showers out towards the west, and notice that central and eastern areas will be mostly bright, even sunny. so here's a closer look, then — early hours of the morning, here's the cloud reaching south—western parts of england, wales, the irish sea. certainly cloudy for northern ireland and parts of scotland early on friday morning. out towards the east and south,
5:27 am
it will be much brighter. 14 in london, the starting temperature, around 10 or 11 in the north of scotland. so, starts off quite sunny, but then, this weak weather front moving very slowly across the uk will build cloud across many central parts of england. i suspect the sunniest areas will be along the north sea coast, around the coasts of east anglia, and also the channel. and you can see where the showers are possible — maybe in south—western scotland, one or two elsewhere, the north—west of england, perhaps wales. now, the weekend — all—important weekend, because it is, of course, for some of us, a bank holiday weekend — sunny spells and just a few showers on the horizon. so, predominantly sunny weather on saturday, with high pressure building. this weak weather front may just about brush the very far north—west of the uk. and the temperatures are highest in the south—west of the uk. in cardiff, at around 25 degrees celsius. here's that area of high pressure, and this time, it's building from the north. look at the arrows — they're blowing around the high, and the winds will be
5:28 am
quite strong at times. so it does mean that the coasts of around the north sea and east anglia and the channel could be quite chilly at times. that will push the warmth out towards the west, so the best weather conditions, i think, around the irish sea, wales, the south—west of england. here, temperatures up to around the mid—20s once again, but very decent also, say, in glasgow, up to around 21 celsius. now, here's the outlook through the weekend and into next week, and i think, overall, we can say that the weather is mostly set fair for most parts of the uk. that's it for me. bye—bye.
