8:00 pm
hello, i'm sarah campbell. you're watching the context on bbc news. the bottom line, mr prime minister, is that when our countries stand together, we stand stronger. and i believe the whole world is safer when we do. and we're increasing our engagement in the region to work with allies like australia, like japan to ensure that the pacific region does remain free and open. we don't want to see any change to the status quo. we're talking about two big countries not in the g7, - but are almost at the centre of the g7 conversations. - welcome to the programme.
8:01 pm
leaders are gathering in hiroshima, where in just a few hours, the g7 summit will get under way with a key focus on dealing with russia and china. also tonight, we look at the uk's failure to impose fines worth as much as £1 billion on foreign companies breaking a landmark transparency law. we will head to el salvador, where more than 66,000 people have been arrested in the last year in the government's crackdown on street gangs. and we will talk to congressman adam smith about his struggles with anxiety and chronic pain and the difficulties a life in politics brings. but first, global security concerns over russia's invasion of ukraine and china's new assertiveness are at the top of the agenda as leaders of the g7 group of advanced economies gather injapan for a summit. hosting the event — hiroshima, the first city to be levelled by an american atomic bomb in 1945, claiming an estimated

140,000 lives and forever changing the world. as he held bilateral talks with president biden earlier, japan's prime minister, fumio kishida, said the world was now at a crossroads following russia's attack on ukraine. and though the g7 leaders represent some of the world's most powerful and wealthiest countries, the focus will be on the two major powers not at the table — russia and china. joining us now is zack cooper, former aide to the us national security council and senior fellow at the american enterprise institute, and sylvie bermann, former french ambassador to russia and also a former french ambassador to china. good evening to both of you, thank you forjoining us here on the programme. if i could ask you first of all about first of all how japan has set up this summit, this g7

8:10 pm
opinions potentially about what's going on in ukraine at the moment. yeah, absolutely. for instance, there has been a very long partnership with russia and also india is by some oil and gas from russia and is selling it to other countries, including european countries. so while it's one way to circumvent the sanctions against russia and so russia could continue to support this war effort. fiifi to support this war effort. ok, thanks very — to support this war effort. ok, thanks very much _ to support this war effort. ok, thanks very much for - to support this war effort. ok, thanks very much for your expertise to evening and we will return to the subject of the g7 later in the programme chemically lots of important issues to be discussed in japan over the next few days. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. let's look at some of the other
8:11 pm
stories making headlines today. a survey by citizens advice suggests that up to i million people cancelled their broadband in the past year due to the high cost of living. the charity said those struggling could have benefited from cheaper social tariffs or special low cost packages. watchdog 0fcom says lt.3 million eligible people are missing out on the deals. voters in northern ireland are going to the polls to decide who should represent them on 11 councils. a total of 807 candidates are competing for a62 seats in council chambers across the country. polls will close at 10pm, and you will be able to follow the results here and on the bbc news website as they come in. details of last week's year 6 sats reading test in england have been published after some teachers and parents said it was so difficult, it left pupils in tears. the department for education says papers are "rigourously trialled". the national association of head teachers says that even staff "had to really think" about the answers.
8:12 pm
you're live with bbc news. thank you forjoining us. thousands of foreign companies have yet to be fined for breaking a new uk transparency law, according to analysis by the bbc�*s data journalism team. the legislation requires overseas companies with property in the uk to reveal who owns it, but the bbc has found that fines worth up to $1.25 billion have not yet been imposed. that includes fines for firms with links to russian oligarchs. let's get more from courtney bembridge in the newsroom. a new law was introduced after russia invaded ukraine designed in part to stop foreign criminals laundering dirty money. under the rules, as of the end ofjanuary this year, foreign companies with property in the uk must disclose their owners or face fines of up to £2500 a day.
8:13 pm
three months on, and thousands of companies appear not to be complying with the law, but not a single fine has been issued. one of the firms yet to disclose this information is a cyprus—based company that owns this west london mansion with links to the former owner of the chelsea football club, oligarch roman abramovich. it is thought that up to 5000 firms with property in england and wales are yet to disclose this information, although the uk government has said that the true figure could be lower than that because some firms no longer exist and others have already transferred their property. but even using a conservative figure of 4000 firms at £2500 a day gives us a figure of £10 million a day. that's $12.5 million us. and given it's been more than 100 days since that january 31 deadline passed, that
8:14 pm
could total £1 billion or $1.25 billion us. well, the uk department of business and trade has released a statement saying that the uk is the first country in the world to be taking this tough new approach. and the statement goes on to say fines are just one tool in our arsenal and that noncompliant companies are already unable to buy or sell unregistered land, which cuts off the flow of money. the statement then says we are currently building cases against companies and prioritising actions against the most egregious offenders. however, the government has noted that it's difficult to pinpoint the owners of many of these properties because many have shielded their wealth in offshore companies, trusts and also in the names of family members. earlier, the author and anti—corruption activist bill browder told the bbc that the uk is failing to implement its own legislation.
8:15 pm
this is the fundamental problem. you can make his many great laws as you want, but if you don't enforce them, then it doesn't have any effect. and britain is the worst offender when it comes to this type of thing. the laws on our books are absolutely rock solid, but the law enforcement is a complete disaster. the government has made all sorts of very bullish noises about being tough on russians and tough on russian oligarchs, but here's a very real—life example of... and this is not complicated. you know, if these companies haven't disclosed their owners, they should be fined. it's not building a case. just send them a bill. and that hasn't apparently been done, which i find very disappointing. there doesn't seem to be any appetite or capacity to follow through on these laws, and i've seen it in many other connected areas. in money—laundering, there hasn't been a single prosecution of a russian for money—laundering in 22 years
8:16 pm
since putin came to power. and so something has to change. the government, you know, makes laws and people pound their tables in parliament, and then nothing happens. and so it all comes down to implementation, which is an absolute disaster in the uk _ i'm joined now by maria nizzero, a research fellow at the centre for financial crime and security at rusi, a defence and security think tank. thank you forjoining us this evening. and talking this through. it's a bit complicated but you heard bill browder they're suggesting that whatever is going on, the uk is not doing it very well so would you agree with that assessment? yes. doing it very well so would you agree with that assessment? yes, in art, in agree with that assessment? yes, in part. in the — agree with that assessment? yes, in part, in the sense _ agree with that assessment? yes, in part, in the sense that _ agree with that assessment? yes, in part, in the sense that definitely - part, in the sense that definitely is an— part, in the sense that definitely is an issue — part, in the sense that definitely is an issue that _ part, in the sense that definitely is an issue that has— part, in the sense that definitely is an issue that has to _ part, in the sense that definitely is an issue that has to do - part, in the sense that definitely is an issue that has to do with i part, in the sense that definitely. is an issue that has to do with the enforcement— is an issue that has to do with the enforcement of— is an issue that has to do with the enforcement of laws. this - is an issue that has to do with thel enforcement of laws. this register is one _ enforcement of laws. this register is one of— enforcement of laws. this register is one of the — enforcement of laws. this register is one of the many— enforcement of laws. this register is one of the many things - enforcement of laws. this register is one of the many things that i enforcement of laws. this register. is one of the many things that came quite _ is one of the many things that came quite rushed — is one of the many things that came quite rushed in— is one of the many things that came quite rushed in a _ is one of the many things that came quite rushed in a fast—track - quite rushed in a fast—track legislation— quite rushed in a fast—track legislation that _ quite rushed in a fast—track legislation that was - quite rushed in a fast—track. legislation that was basically quite rushed in a fast—track i legislation that was basically a response — legislation that was basically a response to _ legislation that was basically a response to russia's _ legislation that was basically a response to russia's overt i response to russia's overt aggression _ response to russia's overt aggression in _ response to russia's overt aggression in ukraine i response to russia's overt| aggression in ukraine back response to russia's overt i aggression in ukraine back in february— aggression in ukraine back in february last _ aggression in ukraine back in february last year— aggression in ukraine back in february last year but - aggression in ukraine back in february last year but at i aggression in ukraine back in february last year but at the i aggression in ukraine back in i february last year but at the same time there — february last year but at the same time there are _ february last year but at the same time there are still— february last year but at the same time there are still a lot— february last year but at the same time there are still a lot of- february last year but at the same time there are still a lot of thingsl time there are still a lot of things that have — time there are still a lot of things that have to— time there are still a lot of things that have to be _ time there are still a lot of things that have to be done _ time there are still a lot of things that have to be done to _ time there are still a lot of things

8:21 pm
that they were pursued by paparazzi photographers as they tried to leave an event in new york earlier this week. here they are, accompanied by meghan's mother, arriving at the ms foundation for women awards ceremony. the trouble for them started when they left. as they put it in a statement... "they were involved in a near catastrophic car chase at the hands of a ring of highly aggressive paparazzi". and they add... "this relentless pursuit lasted over two hours, resulted in multiple near collisions," involving other drivers on the road, pedestrians and two nypd officers. the new york police department has said that while numerous photographers made the transport of the duke and duchess challenging, there were no reported collisions, injuries or arrests. as you'd expect, there's been a lot of reaction in the american papers.
8:22 pm
the new york daily news led with "scary echo of diana". the new york post called the couple the duke and duchess of hazard describing the episode as "the harry and meghan drama show". there was a more sober take on the story in the new york times, noting the frenzy that follows the duke and duchess's every move. let's put all of this into context now. our royal correspondent nicholas witchell has been analysing the events and the row which has followed. there are significant discrepancies now, i think, between the account issued by the sussexes the new york police are saying. it's a question of differences in perception. and we do seem to have been here before with the sussexes, but we must keep in mind of course that they were the people at the centre of this, they clearly found it worrying and alarming. and for harry, of course, it will have been very triggering, invoking images and recollections of the tragic circumstances
8:23 pm
which led to the death of his mother, being pursued by paparazzi in paris 26 years ago. now, whether it was sensible for their spokesperson to issue the statement that they did, couched in the language that it was, which reed rather like a tabloid story, i think is a moot point, but we must keep in mind that harry has made it his business to challenge the behaviour of the media whenever he feels that it is inappropriate, and clearly this was a case in point. he has also a very low threshold when it comes to tolerating the behaviour of the media, has a very low flashpoint, and clearly that was exceeded in new york 2a hours ago. meanwhile, the uk treasury has revealed that queen elizabeth's funeral and lying in state cost taxpayers an estimated £162 million, orjust over $200 million.
8:24 pm
our newsroom reporter naomi choy smith has been looking at the numbers. that sum of nearly £152 million covers the period all the way from the queen's passing lesson number through the ten days of morning here in the uk all the way through to the monarch's lying in state and of course her funeral. monarch's lying in state and of course herfuneral. was rendering the monumental scale of these events andindeed the monumental scale of these events and indeed the largest state event to be held in the uk since world war ii. viewed and attended in many cases by people and dignitaries from around the uk are and around the world. you remember the hundreds of thousands of people who cue to pay their respects to the queen during their respects to the queen during the lying in state at westminster hall and the government says that these funds were spent to ensure that these events can be held smoothly and with thing while ensuring the safety and security of the public. and that's reflected in this number. £73 million spent by
8:25 pm
the home office to ensure police and security around all of these events, around the uk. the second largest transient money was covered by the department for culture, media and sport, about 57 million spent on billboards and other announcements covering and celebrating and commemorating the legacy of the queen. the next largest transfer money was covered by the scottish government, nearly £19 million, and that cover the cost of the queen's lying of rest at edinburgh after her passing at balmoral and scott levels of the others involve governments also spent smaller sums in wales and northern ireland as the vent prince charles toward the four nations following the passing of his mother. the government says that these to evolve governments have since been refundable that treasury for all of those costs incurred. now more smaller trenches of about £2 million each are covered by the ministry defence, the permit for transport
8:26 pm
and the foreign, wealth and development office so that's a breakdown of those costs associated with the passing of queen elizabeth ii. stay with us your bbc news. hello there, full uk forecast in a moment. but first of all, we're going to start off with what's going on in italy, where we've seen some extreme rain over recent days thanks to storm minerva. this is one of the major roads heading into bologna, the capital of emilia romano region, which has been really badly hit. but i fear there's further extreme rainfall on the way. this time affecting the north—west of italy, where over the next few days, we could see around 200—300 millimetres of rain, particularly centred around the piedmont region, it's likely to lead to further severe flooding and further landslides, as well. now, italy seen more than its fair share of extreme rainfall. this next one will be the third lot of extreme rain in the space of three weeks. and it follows an extreme drought
8:27 pm
that we had last year when a state of emergency was declared. now, as our planet warms up, we expect to see extreme weather events become more frequent. and this lot for italy certainly fits that bill. meanwhile, here in the uk, well, we've got a weather front slowly pushing into an area of high pressure. as it does so, the front�*s very weak, but bringing a little bit of rain across scotland and northern ireland as it has been through the day on thursday. and eventually we'll start to see better damp weather getting into northern england, north wales as well. temperatures overnight about 8—10 degrees. now, tomorrow, brighterskies for scotland and northern ireland. given more sunshine here, it should feel even a bit warmer temperatures, high teens. but across england and wales, that weak weather front still capable of bringing a few areas of mostly light rain, temperatures reaching the high teens. so, for most of us, it's going to feel quite pleasant if you're outside. what about the weekend? well, that nasty storm system, storm nino i was talking about,
8:28 pm
here it is on the pressure chart, that's actually going to start to affect our parts of the world as we develop these easterly winds. and that will actually bring some slightly milder air in across england and wales. it will boost our temperatures for scotland. and northern ireland, though, got another weak weatherfront edging in. and although the skies will be bright often, there'll be a bit of patchy rain around. so some damp weather at times i think best sums the weather picture up. on in sunday again, it's north western areas that will have the thickest cloud, but still some hazy spells of sunshine quite likely to get through that. england and wales fine with some sunshine. and like saturday, temperatures reaching the high teens to low 20s, feeling pleasant in those sunnier moments. bye for now.
8:29 pm
8:30 pm
hello, i'm sarah campbell. you're watching the context on bbc news. more than 66,000 people have been arrested in el salvador is cracked down on street gangs in the last year. that is still to come but before that there is sports and for the full round—up here is sportscenter. hello from the bbc sport centre. a day after manchester city confirmed their place in the champions league final against inter milan, two other european competitions complete their semi final second legs this evening starting

8:32 pm
goals all important in terms of qualifying for european football next season. newcastle united win two of their last games they will definitely have champions league football to look forward to. as things stand newcastle very much in the driving seat for that race to finish in the top because they lead brighton by two goals to zero. it was an own goal. both goals coming from corners for the new castle 2— mill up having a good season and looking to qualify in europe as well that match at halftime. rafa nadal has pulled out of this year's french open, due to his lack of fitness following a hip injury — and has said next year will probably be his last as a professional. the 1a time french open champion made the announcement in a press conference from his academy in mallorca ahead of the tournament start in ten days time.
8:33 pm
he has not played since the australia open at the cost of the air. he says he's focused on one last farewell season if his body allows. my idea in motivation _ his body allows. my idea in motivation is _ his body allows. my idea in motivation is trying - his body allows. my idea in motivation is trying to - his body allows. my idea in | motivation is trying to enjoy his body allows. my idea in - motivation is trying to enjoy and try to say goodbye of all the tournaments that i have been important to me and my chosen career. try to enjoy that. being competitive and enjoying that today is not possible. i really believe that if i keep going now i will not be able to make it happen. the second golf is under way after frost, justin thomas won it last year. being the favourite super victory at the masters will not let show you how things are looking at the moment. scott scheffler won the
8:34 pm
masters last year. at the moment is top of the leaderboard at the moment but he is tied with corey carter's all with the share of the lead you can see some selected others, boreal mcelroy, former champion, slightly off the pace at the moment. murray mcelroy won over. you gotjustin thomas who is the defending time two chip as i said. you can follow that over on the bbc sport website. i'll have more for you later. back to you, sarah. for more than a year, el salvador has been living under an emergency measure called a "state of exception" in which several constitutional rights were suspended in a national crackdown on country's powerful street gangs. the police have been granted
8:35 pm
wide—ranging powers of detention and a staggering 66,000 people have been arrested. but while the crackdown has seen el salvador�*s murder rate plummet, human rights organisations say thousands of people with no link to the gangs have been detained unjustly. their relatives are demanding their immediate release. our correspondent, will grant, reports from el salvador. harsh, uncompromising and the government insists, ruthlessly effective. these images of a new supermax prison were released by the administration of media savvy president nayib bukele to show off its gang crackdown to the world. for over a year, the police in el salvador have had special powers of arrest with certain constitutional rights, suspended troops patrol the former gang stronghold of soya pango, checking local youths for gang tattoos and criminal records and going door to door. most gang members are long gone, arrested or have fled.
8:36 pm
crime, including the murder rate, has plummeted. but the policy hasn't brought everyone peace. with more than 65000 people arrested, thousands with no discernable gang links were caught in the dragnet. among them, jose duval mata. troops swept into his village a year ago. his mother hasn't seen him since and is desperate with worry. i went to the jail and you would hear their cries coming from inside. help us. i went to the jail and you would hear their cries coming from inside. help us. help. i can't take anymore. that caused me so much pain in my heart, my poor soul. marcela provided the court with evidence thatjose duval had no gang ties from his clean criminal record to his high school diploma. yet still, he remains behind bars. what's interesting about all of these papers is that they add up to a picture of a young man who had a job, who had a family, who's been vouched for by the community,
8:37 pm
by his workplace, graduated high school as a young man who simply wasn't involved in gang activity. he's far from the only one. on the year anniversary of the state of exception. hundreds of families took to the streets of san salvador to demand the release of their relatives. in an exclusive bbc interview, the vice president admitted thousands had been wrongly imprisoned. we have so far over 65,000 persons in prison. probably could be some mistake and some people could be arrested with no link with the gangs. i said, the perfect is enemy of the good. what we're doing is so good we're doing something really good. appreciate by the population. over 90% of the population agree with the state of essential and they want to be extended. jose duval�*s wife was pregnant when he was detained. he's never seen his baby boy.
8:38 pm
now, as the bank threatens to repossess their half built home. he's locked up far from his family and branded a gang member. and the government won't accept any proof to the contrary. will grant, bbc news, el salvador. it's such a difficult issue and those pictures have gone around the world because they are so extraordinary of all those people that have been arrested, the super prisons. is it working, of the majority of people in el salvador feeling safer now? i majority of people in el salvador feeling safer now?— feeling safer now? i think the ruestion feeling safer now? i think the question of— feeling safer now? i think the question of whether - feeling safer now? i think the question of whether or - feeling safer now? i think the question of whether or not i feeling safer now? i think the | question of whether or not it's working really comes from, it depends on where you're coming from. if you're living in one of these formally gained control neighbourhoods that it's working very, very well and you are celebrating and are extremely happy of the administration because suddenly you can breathe again.
8:39 pm

8:48 pm

8:49 pm
when i really started... i had uncontrollable anxiety, it dominated my life. a year later the chronic pain came on. that's when i started to find help. it's hard to describe if you haven't ever experience anxiety. the difference between stress and uncontrollable anxiety is profound. i had that and i realised i needed help. profound. i had that and i realised i needed help-— profound. i had that and i realised i needed help. were people around ou aware i needed help. were people around you aware of— i needed help. were people around you aware of what _ i needed help. were people around you aware of what you're _ i needed help. were people around you aware of what you're going - you aware of what you're going through or were you quite good at hiding it, masking it? fits through or were you quite good at hiding it, masking it? ibisi through or were you quite good at hiding it, masking it?— hiding it, masking it? as i say the book, i hiding it, masking it? as i say the book. i probably _ hiding it, masking it? as i say the book, i probably thought - hiding it, masking it? as i say the book, i probably thought i - hiding it, masking it? as i say the book, i probably thought i was - book, i probably thought i was better at masking it that i actually was. but certainly early on i did a pretty good job of hiding it. there is a huge stigma around mental health were getting better at that in the last few years but this was ten years ago. i honestly thought that if people knew i was having this anxiety struggle i probably would lose myjob. i try to keep it from others. eventually that became very difficult to do. certainly that
8:50 pm
was part of my mindset, was that the people back few people that knew about this the better.— people back few people that knew about this the better. that's one of the thin i s about this the better. that's one of the things l'm _ about this the better. that's one of the things i'm trying _ about this the better. that's one of the things i'm trying to _ about this the better. that's one of the things i'm trying to change. - about this the better. that's one of. the things i'm trying to change. how did you manage to get yourself better? i did you manage to get yourself better? ., . ., ., better? i went through a whole lot to hel in better? i went through a whole lot to help in fact _ better? i went through a whole lot to help in fact i — better? i went through a whole lot to help in fact i document - better? i went through a whole lot to help in fact i document this, - better? i went through a whole lot to help in fact i document this, i l to help in fact i document this, i went to over a hundred health care provider a lot on the physical side getting surgery and physical therapy boy. i went through hip surgery. i also went through a dozen psychologists — psychologist before i finally found, i found a psychologist in late 2015 who had the right approach was that i didn't believe him at first, it took me a couple of years to understand what he was saying and apply it. then i found a muscle activation therapist in 2018 who ultimately they both taught me how my mind works and how my body works i learned that lesson and was able to fix it. overall it
8:51 pm
took about six years even after i found the people who could help me it took a couple years after that. your book will provide advice, help, hopefully to people who may be watching now who are going through something similar. what would be the key lesson that you would take from your experience? to key lesson that you would take from your experience?— your experience? to big things. there's a lot — your experience? to big things. there's a lot but _ your experience? to big things. there's a lot but at _ your experience? to big things. there's a lot but at the - your experience? to big things. there's a lot but at the top, - your experience? to big things. | there's a lot but at the top, help can be found. i think in both chronic pain and mental illness there's a perception, certainly i had the perception that there are certain things you have to live with and there's no way to fix it. what are my biases against psychiatry, i say this in the book that i remember an article from the onion which is a satirical magazine in the us and the head lane psychiatrist is actually cure someone. the notion was that they are still fixing. there is help. you can find a basic approach to mental health. you can change the way you think of it you can change the way your emotions affect you with proper help. number one, there
8:52 pm
is help. it can be found and be patient in pursuing it. second big thing, you gotta be honest for that you really have to be honest about who you are, what your concerns are for them is not effective to bury your emotions and what you feel. you have to be honest with someone. you have to be honest with someone. you have to be honest with yourself at a starting point if you have someone to talk to, that helps with that. last point, in the us we're way over reliant on drugs. i would urge people to be very cautious about the medications they choose to take. i took a variety of different medications thinking that would be the answer. it never was. and in many ways it delayed my recovery and made my problems worse. so do not rely as much on pharmaceuticals. those are the three top—level things that i would like to get out there. is a lot else but for these purposes that's where i would start.- that's where i would start. thank ou so that's where i would start. thank you so much _ that's where i would start. thank you so much for— that's where i would start. thank you so much for talking - that's where i would start. thank you so much for talking to - that's where i would start. thank you so much for talking to us - you so much for talking to us without your book i'm sure people

8:54 pm
what's happened since february, since the earthquake there has been countries in this region like saudia arabia have expedited the process to bring syria back into the fold for that these efforts were on for the last three or four years, countries like the uae, we're making diplomatic efforts to build a consensus. but saudi arabia got involved and we saw a big push a few weeks ago during one of the meetings of the arab countries they put it to vote and out of the 22 members admitting syria back. now mr bashar will be attending his first summit in 12 years. he will be addressing it tomorrow. and a pivotal moment for him. life has come full circle for him. life has come full circle for him. life has come full circle for him because a lot of members in the league were supporting his enemies, funding them, giving them support, countries like saudi arabia but they'll become around and said
8:55 pm
they feel that the only way to engage with syria is to work with mr ampadu and that's why it's important to bring it back into the fold. the arab league _ to bring it back into the fold. the arab league might be potentially criticised, the us might offer some criticism, but do you think that will go down injeddah? ibtnd criticism, but do you think that will go down in jeddah?- criticism, but do you think that will go down in jeddah? and i don't think the arab — will go down in jeddah? and i don't think the arab countries _ will go down in jeddah? and i don't think the arab countries are - will go down in jeddah? and i don't think the arab countries are too - think the arab countries are too concerned about what the western countries like the us bank. i think saudi arabia, the uae have made clear that played a big role in building consensus was up important to keep in mind that not all countries are in favour this idea. saudi arabia was able to convince that it was important to engage with syria and that is why you can see that photo because saudi arabia is the host of the leads of the summit year and extended an invite to mr assad which is why he's come down. there is a sense from some arab countries that even though the united states is particularly said they would not legitimise this

8:57 pm
now, italy's seen more than its fair share of extreme rainfall. this next one will be the third lot of extreme rain in the space of three weeks, and it follows an extreme drought that we had last year, when a state of emergency was declared. now, as our planet warms up, we expect to see extreme weather events become more frequent, and this lot for italy certainly fits that bill. meanwhile, here in the uk, well, we've got a weather front slowly pushing into an area of high pressure. as it does so, the front�*s very weak, but it'll be bringing a little bit of rain across scotland and northern ireland as it has been through the day on thursday. and eventually we'll start to see a bit of damp weather getting into northern england, north wales as well. temperatures overnight about 8—10 degrees. now, tomorrow, brighterskies for scotland and northern ireland. given more sunshine here, it should feel even a bit warmer, temperatures high teens. but across england and wales, that weak weather front still capable of bringing a few areas of mostly light rain. temperatures reaching the high teens, so, for most of us, it's going to feel quite pleasant if you're outside. what about the weekend? well, that nasty storm system, storm nino i was talking about —
8:58 pm
here it is on the pressure chart — that's actually going to start to affect our parts of the world as we develop these easterly winds. and that will actually bring some slightly milder air in across england and wales, so it will boost our temperatures. for scotland and northern ireland, though, we've got another weak weatherfront edging in, and although the skies will be bright often, there'll be a bit of patchy rain around. so some damp weather at times i think best sums the weather picture up. on into sunday again, it's north—western areas that will have the thickest cloud, but still some hazy spells of sunshine. quite likely to get through that. england and wales fine with some sunshine. and like saturday, temperatures reaching the high teens to low 20s, feeling pleasant in those sunnier moments. bye for now.
8:59 pm
9:00 pm
hello, i'm sarah campbell. you're watching the context on bbc news. the bottom line, mr prime minister, is that when our countries stand together, we stand stronger. and i believe the whole world is safer when we do. we're talking about two big countries not in the g7, but are almost at the centre of the g7 conversations. welcome back. leaders are gathering in hiroshima, where in just a few hours, the g7 summit will get under way with a key focus on dealing with russia and china. joining me on our panel for the next hour is ron christie,
9:01 pm
former adviser to george w bush, and the global trade economist rebecca harding. we will be discussing everything g7 shortly. also tonight, we look at the uk's failure to impose fines worth as much as £1 billion on foreign companies breaking a landmark transparency law. montana has become the first state in the us to ban tiktok. which states could follow? and what could it mean for the most popular app in the world? and we will reflect some more on the effects of mental health in politics and how best to tackle high stress. we've spoken to democratic congressman adam smith about his personal struggles. but first, global security concerns over russia's invasion of ukraine and china's new assertiveness are at the top of the agenda as leaders of the g7 group of advanced economies gather injapan for a summit. hosting the event — hiroshima, the first city to be
9:02 pm
levelled by an american atomic bomb in 19a5, claiming an estimated 1a0,000 lives and forever changing the world. as he held bilateral talks with president biden earlier, japan's prime minister, fumio kishida, said the world was now at a crossroads following russia's attack on ukraine. and though the g7 leaders represent some of the world's most powerful and wealthiest countries, the focus will be on the two major powers not at the table — russia and china. earlier, sylvie bermann, former french ambassador to russia and also a former french ambassador to china, and zack cooper, former aide to the us national security council and senior fellow at the american enterprise institute, told us more. japan has invited other countries and countries also from what is called now the global south — india, indonesia, australia of course — and the idea is to get their support around the assistance given
9:03 pm
to ukraine and the most important is to convince them not to help russia to circumvent the sanctions. and, zack, let me ask about, we've mentioned the fact the two countries that probably will dominate conversation, china and russia, are of course not at the table. starting first of all with china, what do you think the conversation will be? i think much of the focus will be on chinese economic practices. we've certainly heard a lot about that in the run—up to the g7, and the japanese side is very worried about economic coercion. and so i think one of the key elements in the 67 statement that we'll see in a few days will really be about economic coercion and other forms of unfair economic behaviour. so that would be the thing i would expect to be the top item coming off of the china agenda at the g7~ _ economic coercion and presumably
9:04 pm
also taiwan, the situation there, is likely to figure in talks. absolutely. i think behind closed doors people will be very worried at the taiwan issue, and i would expect to see a statement about the desire for peace and stability in the taiwan strait. i don't think it will feature as prominently perhaps in the eventual statement, but i think behind closed doors, all of the leaders will be very worried about the taiwan issue. sylvie, you're a former ambassador to china and the uk. what would be your take on how china will dominate talks at the g7 over the next couple of days? yeah, i think the priority will be ukraine because there's a war going on, and china is having not alliance, but a partnership with russia in that it doesn't really support the war, but it doesn't condemn it either. since it's organised byjapan, of course the situation
9:05 pm
in the pacific will be very important, and i think what is important is the reformation of the necessity of the status quo and freedom of navigation in the region. of course, while as it has been said before, economic behaviour of china is also very important. but, you know, there is this european formula which is de—risking and not decoupling, so meaning there should be less dependence on china for the supply chains. this is very important, but at the same time, on some issues such as climate change, biodiversity, it's important to have
9:06 pm

9:09 pm
more centrestage if you like. there are seven very _ more centrestage if you like. there are seven very different _ more centrestage if you like. there are seven very different countries and they will have their own agendas. can we expect a unified voice was met talking about china and russia and perhaps rebecca talking about china first, can we expect to hear a unified approach? i expect to hear a unified approach? i think it's very interesting question and my short answer would be there will be a choreographed answer to it which will sound unified but behind—the—scenes what we are seeing is another elephant in the room which is strategic autonomy on behalf of the europeans. sup already referred to in the clip previously that the europeans actually want to state that they are independent of influence from the us and want to assert their own strategic autonomy and therefore they are saying they want to have china actually almost not mentioned in any kind of thing or statement that says they are going to be economic threat or
9:10 pm
anything like that. so what's happening is very important. they are trying to make china less of a threat and more of a strategic competitor so that they can still keep talking and that's a very different lands to be looking at the challenge through, i think. the other big issue _ challenge through, i think. the other big issue will be ukraine. and again that question you have the seven questions and countries and there are differences in approach between them also the communique of the end kevin you expect to hear a clear voice of all seven? i do the end kevin you expect to hear a clear voice of all seven?— clear voice of all seven? i do and i think they will _ clear voice of all seven? i do and i think they will come _ clear voice of all seven? i do and i think they will come together - clear voice of all seven? i do and i think they will come together and | think they will come together and say unanimously— think they will come together and say unanimously that _ think they will come together and say unanimously that russia - think they will come together and say unanimously that russia has i say unanimously that russia has invaded — say unanimously that russia has invaded the _ say unanimously that russia has invaded the sovereignty- say unanimously that russia has invaded the sovereignty of- say unanimously that russia has invaded the sovereignty of a - say unanimously that russia has| invaded the sovereignty of a free and democratic— invaded the sovereignty of a free and democratic country, - invaded the sovereignty of a free and democratic country, that - invaded the sovereignty of a free and democratic country, that thei and democratic country, that the russian — and democratic country, that the russian federation _ and democratic country, that the russian federation needs- and democratic country, that the russian federation needs to - and democratic country, that thel russian federation needs to exit, the deceits— russian federation needs to exit, the deceits of— russian federation needs to exit, the deceits of hostilities - russian federation needs to exit, the deceits of hostilities but - russian federation needs to exit, the deceits of hostilities but the l the deceits of hostilities but the devil— the deceits of hostilities but the devil witt— the deceits of hostilities but the devil will be _ the deceits of hostilities but the devil will be in _ the deceits of hostilities but the devil will be in the _ the deceits of hostilities but the devil will be in the details. - the deceits of hostilities but the devil will be in the details. here in the _ devil will be in the details. here in the us, — devil will be in the details. here in the us, there _ devil will be in the details. here in the us, there are _ devil will be in the details. here in the us, there are many- devil will be in the details. here. in the us, there are many people regardless — in the us, there are many people regardless of _ in the us, there are many people regardless of their— in the us, there are many people regardless of their political- regardless of their political affiliation— regardless of their political affiliation they— regardless of their political affiliation they were - regardless of their politicall affiliation they were looking regardless of their political- affiliation they were looking at how many _ affiliation they were looking at how many conditions _ affiliation they were looking at how many conditions have _ affiliation they were looking at how many conditions have we _ affiliation they were looking at how many conditions have we in - affiliation they were looking at how many conditions have we in the - affiliation they were looking at how many conditions have we in the us| many conditions have we in the us and art— many conditions have we in the us and art european— many conditions have we in the us and art european union— many conditions have we in the usi and art european union colleagues spent _ and art european union colleagues

9:12 pm
so those figures are completely eye watering. rebecca, could you put it in the context for us as to how worried we and the rest of the world and how worried the us should be about it? 50 and how worried the us should be about it? ., , , . about it? so in one way this is a little clinical— about it? so in one way this is a little clinical treatment - about it? so in one way this is a little clinical treatment ship. - little clinical treatment ship. this is about borrowing and cutting back costs in the us and there is actually since the republicans have control of the house representatives, there has been more of a constraint on what the president and his party can do in terms of raising the ceiling. however we had this type of partnership before and i think that the challenge we are seeing now is the challenge we are seeing now is the fact that the global markets are so sensitive, inflation is so high, we have seen interest rates high at 15 year highs and against that backdrop, anything that puts the us dollar under any kind of pressure at
9:13 pm
all or suggest the interest rates might go up is actually very worried for the global economy because so much of emerging market debt is actually priced in us dollars. and also it has this other thing which is actually the dollar is an indicator of duplicate power as well, so sanctions can be imposed because of the power of the dollar. you've got emerging—market debt, trade largely conducted in us dollars as well and all that means the us has a privilege that should not necessarily take for granted in global markets and global politics as well. ., u, , global markets and global politics as well. ., , ., global markets and global politics aswell. ., , ., as well. ron came up from your knowledge _ as well. ron came up from your knowledge of— as well. ron came up from your knowledge of the _ as well. ron came up from your knowledge of the political- as well. ron came up from your. knowledge of the political system, what discussions will be being hat around the white house and the capital building today and up until the 1st ofjune? how frenetic does it all get? the 1st ofjune? how frenetic does it all net? , . . , it all get? pretty frenetic at this oint. it all get? pretty frenetic at this point- and _ it all get? pretty frenetic at this point- and i _ it all get? pretty frenetic at this point. and i associate _ it all get? pretty frenetic at this point. and i associate my - it all get? pretty frenetic at this - point. and i associate my comments entirely— point. and i associate my comments entirely with — point. and i associate my comments entirely with what _ point. and i associate my comments entirely with what rebecca - point. and i associate my comments entirely with what rebecca just - point. and i associate my comments entirely with what rebecca just set l entirely with what rebecca just set and let _ entirely with what rebecca just set and let me — entirely with what rebecca just set and let me just— entirely with what rebecca just set and let me just say— entirely with what rebecca just set and let me just say this, _ entirely with what rebecca just set and let me just say this, you -

9:17 pm
voters in northern ireland are going to the polls to decide who should represent them on 11 councils. a total of 807 candidates are competing for a62 seats in council chambers across the country. polls will close at 10pm, and you will be able to follow the results here and on the bbc news website as they come in. details of last week's year 6 sats reading test in england have been published after some teachers and parents said it was so difficult, it left pupils in tears. the department for education says papers are "rigourously trialled". the national association of head teachers says that even staff "had to really think" about the answers. you're live with bbc news. 0 nto onto the next doorway of the evening. thousands of foreign companies have not yet been fined for breaking a new uk transparency law, according to analysis by the bbc�*s data journalism team. the legislation requires overseas
9:18 pm
companies with property in the uk to reveal who owns it, but the bbc has found that fines worth up to $1.25 billion have not yet been imposed. that includes fines for firms with links to russian oligarchs. let's get more from courtney bembridge in the newsroom. a new law was introduced after russia invaded ukraine designed in part to stop foreign criminals laundering dirty money. under the rules, as of the end ofjanuary this year, foreign companies with property in the uk must disclose their owners or face fines of up to £2500 a day. three months on, and thousands of companies appear not to be complying with the law, but not a single fine has been issued. one of the firms yet to disclose this information is a cyprus—based company that owns this west london mansion with links to the former owner of the chelsea football club, oligarch roman abramovich. it is thought that up to 5000 firms with property in england and wales are yet to disclose this
9:19 pm
information, although the uk government has said that the true figure could be lower than that because some firms no longer exist and others have already transferred their property. but even using a conservative figure of 4000 firms at £2500 a day gives us a figure of £10 million a day. that's $12.5 million us. and given its been more than 100 days since that january 31 deadline passed, that could total £1 billion or $1.25 billion us. well, the uk department of business and trade has released a statement saying that the uk is the first country in the world to be taking this tough new approach. and the statement goes on to say fines are just one tool in our arsenal and that noncompliant companies are already unable to buy or sell unregistered land, which cuts off the flow of money. the statement then says we're currently building cases against companies and prioritising
9:20 pm
actions against the most egregious offenders. however, the government has noted that it's difficult to pinpoint the owners of many of these properties because many have shielded their wealth in offshore companies, trusts and also in the names of family members. earlier, the author and anti—corruption activist bill browder told the bbc about what he believes are the imperfections of the british law. this is the fundamental problem. you can make as many great laws as you want, but if you don't enforce them, then it doesn't have any effect. and britain is the worst offender when it comes to this type of thing. the laws on our books are absolutely rock—solid, but the law enforcement is a complete disaster. the government has made all sorts of very bullish noises about being tough on russians and tough on russian oligarchs, but here's a very real—life example of... and this is not complicated. you know, if these companies haven't disclosed their owners, they should be fined. it's not building a case.
9:21 pm
just send them a bill. and that hasn't apparently been done, which i find very disappointing. there doesn't seem to be any appetite or capacity to follow through on these laws, and i've seen it in many other connected areas. in money—laundering, there hasn't been a single prosecution of a russian for money—laundering in 22 years since putin came to power. and so something has to change. the government, you know, makes laws and people pound their tables in parliament, and then nothing happens. and so it all comes down to implementation, which is an absolute disaster in the uk _ bill right or they're pretty scathing about the government's response to this. rebecca harding, economist, i presume these are people who are cleverly putting their money in the uk and it's not easy to legislate to try and find out who they are. would it be fair? i think that's totally fair. when it first came in and i work a lot with
9:22 pm
financial services and they do a lot of this due diligence, you can argue actually that the banks are foot soldiers know this because they have to implement these laws and have to go right the way through the whole structure all of these different webs of people and find out exactly where the location is of this money and ownership and it's really, really difficult. one example i can think of was a company that was owned abroad and one of the investors look perfectly ordinary and did not have anything at all to do with anything it might be suspect was up turned out that they had relatives and of find it somewhere in the cayman islands owned by a russian oligarch, and it's very difficult to track that right the way through all of these different webs and collections and it's called unexplained wealth for a very good reason. it's unexplained. and i think it's very difficult for the
9:23 pm
banks or legalfirms and think it's very difficult for the banks or legal firms and that ultimately for the government to trace for all this is. it needs massive amounts of resources as well and that's one of the problems. it’s and that's one of the problems. it's under resourced. ron clement talking about the situation in the uk with these figures are subtly in the uk but i want to know if this is an issue in the us as well. it is issue in the us as well. it is absolutely _ issue in the us as well. it is absolutely and _ issue in the us as well. it is absolutely and this -

has put in place given time, do you think you could be effective? i think you could be effective? i think you could be effective? i think it could be tightened with additional resources and looking as well at additional law that came in during the course of april on sanctions so to tighten up any kind of breach of sanctions, assistance to those might be breaching sanctions but the trouble is as i think we are all agreeing here is it'sjust very difficult think we are all agreeing here is it's just very difficult to do and there's a huge amount of it out there. you can see how it sanctions are actually not being as effective as we might have hoped maybe they would be in sending money back to russia and military capability in russia and military capability in russia because there is to money going back. that's all still happening but i think is a problem everywhere in the world because we are using this tool as a way of constraining if you like russian power and that is something that we need to do. {lilia power and that is something that we need to do. . ~ power and that is something that we need to do. . ,, , ., power and that is something that we need to do. . ~' , ., . need to do. 0k, thank you and there is [en

9:27 pm
events become more frequent, and this lot for italy certainly fits that bill. meanwhile, here in the uk, well, we've got a weather front slowly pushing into an area of high pressure. as it does so, the front�*s very weak, but it'll be bringing a little bit of rain across scotland and northern ireland as it has been through the day on thursday. and eventually we'll start to see a bit of damp weather getting into northern england, north wales as well. temperatures overnight about 8—10 degrees. now, tomorrow, brighterskies for scotland and northern ireland. 6iven more sunshine here, it should feel even a bit warmer, temperatures high teens. but across england and wales, that weak weather front still capable of bringing a few areas of mostly light rain. temperatures reaching the high teens, so, for most of us, it's going to feel quite pleasant if you're outside. what about the weekend? well, that nasty storm system, storm nino i was talking about — here it is on the pressure chart — that's actually going to start to affect our parts of the world as we develop these easterly winds.
9:28 pm
and that will actually bring some slightly milder air in across england and wales, so it will boost our temperatures. for scotland and northern ireland, though, we've got another weak weatherfront edging in, and although the skies will be bright often, there'll be a bit of patchy rain around. so some damp weather at times i think best sums the weather picture up. on into sunday again, it's north—western areas that will have the thickest cloud, but still some hazy spells of sunshine. quite likely to get through that. england and wales fine with some sunshine. and like saturday, temperatures reaching the high teens to low 20s, feeling pleasant in those sunnier moments. bye for now.

hello, i'm sarah campbell. you're watching the context on bbc news. and after montana becomes the first state to ban tiktok — will others follow in taking on the biggest app in the world? montana's governor has signed the nation's first state—wide ban of tiktok on personal devices into law. it is due to take effect on one january. tiktok has come under scrutiny from authorities around the world over concerns that data could be passed to the chinese government. this is republican governor 6reg 6ianforte who passed the bill on wednesday.

9:38 pm
to just keep moving. in his new memoir, lost and broken — congressman smith reveals how he got to the lowest point in life, and how he slowly found his way back. and i spoke with him about it all a little earlier. 've certainly been a high stress person. i had a somewhat troubling childhood, i was adopted, there were problems with my adoptive family and all that. but the idea that this was any sort of mental issue i needed to deal with just never occurred to me. then it became a really debilitating. first in 2005 for about four or five months and then again in 2013 and i could not find my way out of it. i sought help in 2005 briefly but in 2013 is when i really started... i had uncontrollable anxiety, it dominated my life. a year later the chronic pain came on. that's when i started to find help. it's hard to describe if you haven't ever experience anxiety.
9:39 pm
the difference between stress and uncontrollable anxiety is profound. i had that and i realised i needed help. were people around you aware of what you're going through or were you quite good at hiding it, masking it? as i say the book, i probably thought i was better at masking it that i actually was. but certainly early on i did a pretty good job of hiding it. there is a huge stigma around mental health, we're getting better at that in the last few years but this was ten years ago. i honestly thought that if people knew i was having this anxiety struggle i probably would lose myjob. i try to keep it from others. i tried to keep it from others. eventually that became very difficult to do. certainly that was part of my mindset, was that the people back few people that knew about this the better. that's one of the things i'm trying to change. nearly a third of americans will
9:40 pm
sufferfrom anxiety at nearly a third of americans will suffer from anxiety at some point in their life. he's talking about it from a political perspective, but i think in every walk of life this is an issue rebecca, do you get the sense that other people are feeling more comfortable about speaking about it, being open about it and helping themselves but also the people? helping themselves but also the eo - le? , ~ , helping themselves but also the eo le? , ~' , ., helping themselves but also the --eole? , ,, , . ., people? yes. i think there is a lot more discussion _ people? yes. i think there is a lot more discussion about _ people? yes. i think there is a lot more discussion about mental - people? yes. i think there is a lot. more discussion about mental health issues for that we've seen this during covid, we looked at young people in the uk, nearly 14% of the uk's health system budget is dedicated to her that mental health. it's been a real initiative, particularly since covid to start to look at some of the issues. it's not enough. i think what the congressman is saying is highlighting just how common this is, the ups and downs of life, the challenges that everybody faces. different challenges for different people. mental health is a big issue, anxiety is a big issue.
9:41 pm
health services do need to be dedicated resources towards all this. it's in unseen health issue that we're only just this. it's in unseen health issue that we're onlyjust beginning to grapple with, i think. find that we're onlyjust beginning to grapple with, i think.— grapple with, i think. and with your background — grapple with, i think. and with your background in _ grapple with, i think. and with your background in economics _ grapple with, i think. and with your background in economics there - grapple with, i think. and with your background in economics there is l grapple with, i think. and with your| background in economics there is an economic cost of this if you're losing a significant percentage of your workforce because they can't cope with their mental health issues was that that is a problem. yes cope with their mental health issues was that that is a problem.— was that that is a problem. yes and we had the — was that that is a problem. yes and we had the story — was that that is a problem. yes and we had the story in _ was that that is a problem. yes and we had the story in the _ was that that is a problem. yes and we had the story in the other - was that that is a problem. yes and we had the story in the other day i we had the story in the other day about people who are actually feeling so tired and exhausted and fatigued that they actually can't manage their own health campaigns for the enemy can incentivise themselves to get to the point where they are able to engage with their own health management in the future. that is a mental stress as well. actually, mental health should be treated on an equal footing in the health care systems. because of this productivity loss, that makes it sound callous. it's actually far

rafael nadal has pulled out of this year's french open, due to his lack of fitness following a hip injury — and says he plans to retire at the end of next year. after much speculation, the ia time champion at roland garros made the announcement at a press conference earlier — ahead of the tournament which starts he at the end of the month. it's 19 years since nadal, who's 36, missed a french open, he's the most successful player in the championships history but he's not played since the australian open at the start of the year. he says he's focused on one last farewell season in 2024 if his body allows: my idea and my motivation is trying to enjoy and try to say goodbye of all the tournaments i have been important for me and my tennis career. �* , , important for me and my tennis career. ~ , , ., ., career. and 'ust try to en'oy that, bein: career. and just try to en'oy that, being competitive h career. and just try to en'oy that, being competitive in _ career. and just try to enjoy that, being competitive in enjoying - being competitive in enjoying something that today is not possible. i really believe that if i keep going now i will not be able to

britain's geraint thomas is still in the leader's pinkjersey at the giro d'italia. the ineos grenadiers rider finished in the main bunch on stage 12. he remains two seconds ahead of the slovenian primoz roglic there was a three—way battle from a breakaway group for the stage win — germany's nico denz came out on top. that is it for me for now. a busy night. good night. hello there. full uk forecast in a moment, but first of all, we're going to start off with what's going on in italy, where we've seen some extreme rain over recent days thanks to storm minerva. this is one of the major roads heading into bologna, the capital of emilia—romagna region, which has been really badly hit. but i fear there's further extreme rainfall on the way, this time affecting the north—west of italy, where over the next few days, we could see around 200—300 millimetres of rain, particularly centred around
9:57 pm
the piedmont region. it's likely to lead to further severe flooding and further landslides, as well. now, italy's seen more than its fair share of extreme rainfall. this next one will be the third lot of extreme rain in the space of three weeks, and it follows an extreme drought that we had last year, when a state of emergency was declared. now, as our planet warms up, we expect to see extreme weather events become more frequent, and this lot for italy certainly fits that bill. meanwhile, here in the uk, well, we've got a weather front slowly pushing into an area of high pressure. as it does so, the front�*s very weak, but it'll be bringing a little bit of rain across scotland and northern ireland as it has been through the day on thursday. and eventually we'll start to see a bit of damp weather getting into northern england, north wales as well. temperatures overnight about 8—10 degrees. now, tomorrow, brighterskies for scotland and northern ireland. given more sunshine here, it should feel even a bit warmer, temperatures high teens. but across england and wales, that weak weather front still capable of bringing a few areas of mostly light rain. temperatures reaching the high teens, so, for most of us,
9:58 pm
it's going to feel quite pleasant if you're outside. what about the weekend? well, that nasty storm system, storm nino i was talking about — here it is on the pressure chart — that's actually going to start to affect our part of the world as we develop these easterly winds. and that will actually bring some slightly milder air in across england and wales, so it will boost our temperatures. for scotland and northern ireland, though, we've got another weak weatherfront edging in, and although the skies will be bright often, there'll be a bit of patchy rain around. so some damp weather at times i think best sums the weather picture up. on into sunday again, it's north—western areas that will have the thickest cloud, but still some hazy spells of sunshine. quite likely to get through that. england and wales fine with some sunshine. and like saturday, temperatures reaching the high teens to low 20s, feeling pleasant in those sunnier moments. bye for now.
