live from london. this is bbc news. police investigating the disappearance of madeleine mccann will begin searching a reservoir in southern portugal this morning — around 50 kilometres from where she went missing in 2007. scenes from ely in cardiff on monday evening — where riot police with dogs joined emergency services after more than 100 people gathered there — some setting cars alight and throwing objects at authorities. negotiations on the us debt ceiling continue into the night. president biden and the speaker of the house say there's still no deal — but they call their talks productive. i think the tone tonight was

better than any other time we've had discussions. hello and welcome to the programme — i'm samantha simmomds. let's start with some breaking news coming in from washington. authorities say they have detained the driver of a truck after crashing into security barriers adjacent to the white house grounds, according to a us secret service spokesperson. this is the scene, as you can see a police cordon has been set up. we are hearing there were no reports of any injuries to any secret service or white house personnel and the cause, and the man in the crash will remain under investigation, according to the chief of communications from the secret service. he said on twitter, some pedestrian walkways have been closed and the nearby

hotel has been evacuated. we have got these live pictures coming in. we know that law enforcement officers have approached a vehicle, a remote—controlled robot opened the truck's door, revealing a dolly, but no other obvious cargo. after crashing the driver hit the barriers a second time, according to local television reporting. a spokesperson for the washington fire department said they had a call at 9.40 local time for what was described as a suspicious package investigation. he said all units are standing by to assist law enforcement for anything they need. just an update on that, authorities have detained the driver of a truck on monday night after he crashed into a security barrier in lafayette square adjacent to the white house grounds. we will bring

you more on that as it comes into us. our other top story today. police will begin a new search today at a reservoir close to where the british toddler madeleine mccann disappeared, during a holiday in portugal, 16 years ago. officials are hoping to find evidence linking the main suspect — a german sex offender — to the case. he was living in the resort of praia da luz at the time. daniel sandford, reports from the algarve. already in position yesterday and ready to start work this morning, tents and equipment for searching at a dam three quarters of an hour's drive from where madeline mccann went missing 16 years ago. she disappeared in 2007, a few days before her fourth birthday. despite her case being one of the most high—profile missing—person cases ever, no—one has ever been charged in connection with her disappearance. her parents, kate and gerry mccann, have always hoped they would find their daughter alive, but german prosecutors who are leading this investigation are treating it as a murder inquiry.

their suspect, christian bruckner, is currently serving seven years in prison for the rape of a woman in the same area of portugal in 2005. he's never been charged over at madeleine mccann�*s disappearance, and has denied any involvement. but the german state prosecutor said there was growing evidence connecting him to the case, including mobile phone records. madeleine mccann vanished from flat g5a at the ocean club in praia da luz on the 3rd of may 2007 as her parents were in a restaurant a few yards away. but, amid intense media scrutiny, no trace of her was found. in 2008, a private search of the same reservoir — funded by a portuguese lawyer — found nothing that proved relevant to the case. divers said there was almost no visibility. but police will search at the dam again, starting today. the last significant search in this inquiry was nine years ago and was led by british police as part of an investigation that cost

more than £10 million. madeleine mccann�*s 20th birthday was this month. 0n the 16th anniversary of her disappearance her parents wrote, "the police investigation continues, and we await a breakthrough." daniel sandford, bbc news, in the algarve. cars have been set alight and objects have been thrown at police near the scene of a crash in wales. riot police with dogs joined emergency services in the district of ely in cardiff on monday evening after more than 100 people gathered there. police said arrests were being made and urged people to leave the area. tomos morgan reports. oh, no, no, no, no, no. chaos in cardiff. rocks, paving stones and fireworks hurled at police after they were called to deal with a road accident in cardiff on the west side of the city and one of wales�*s most deprived areas. following their arrival, it appears the situation and the mood

in the area escalated quickly. these pictures were streamed live on social media. get back! at several stages, the crowd seemed to charge forward and riot police forced them back with their shields and batons. south wales police described it as a large scale disorder, urging local residents to stay indoors and not to speculate online, insisting the original accident had happened before they went to the scene. forensic and specialist teams are continuing their investigation. tomos morgan, bbc news, cardiff. let's get some of the day's other news now. a former elle magazine columnist who was found to have been sexually assaulted by donald trump, has filed a new complaint against him. ejean carroll is seeking unspecified damages for disparaging remarks mrtrump made during a broadcast on cnn earlier this month. dominic raab has announced he will stand down

as a westminster mp at the next general election, which is expected to be next year. mr raab resigned from his position as the uk's deputy prime minister and justice secretary last month after a bullying inquiry. police in guyana say a fire that tore through a girls�* school dormitory killing at least 19 children may have been started deliberately. most of the victims died at the scene. several children remain in a critical condition. no suspects have been identified. the brazilian government has declared a state of animal health emergency after confirming five cases of avian flu in wild birds. it said this would make it easier to stop the spread of the highly infectious h5n1 virus. commercial flocks haven't been affected. president biden and the republican leader of the us house of representatives, kevin mccarthy have said they've held productive talks on federal debt — but there's still no deal. at the heart of the discussions is the spending limit set by congress which determines

how much the government can borrow. failure to raise this limit beyond the current cap of roughly $31 trillion byjune could result in the us defaulting on its debt and closing government services. the two sides now have just ten days to avoid a default. president biden said... kevin mccarthy spoke outside the white house — and the bbc�*s nomia iqbal was there. he said the meeting was productive. he said the tone was good. he appeared in an upbeat mood and he said there was still a way to go before they make a compromise. he did say that he believed the president does want to make a deal. bear in mind, we are fast approaching the deadline, and if a deal is passed, it would take more than a week, or about a week, to get through congress. the speaker appeared

confident that would happen. i never wanted to be here. i do not like the idea that you govern by chaos, you govern by a deadline. so all the way back in january, i requested meetings with the president after i won speaker, only on this issue, we always knew it was coming. february i got the meeting and i said, mr president, we should work together to find where we have common ground to raise the debt ceiling, but curb our spending so we stop doing this. i told the president two things. not going to raise taxes. and we are not going to pass a clean debt ceiling. but for 97 days, he said he wouldn't meet with me. and now what the republicans did in the house, we passed a bill to raise the debt ceiling, saved us money, put us on a trajectory where we could go to balance. this was long before secretary yellen said the deadline wasjune1st. we don't want to govern that way. unfortunately, denying our ability to meet put us in this situation.

i believe we can still get there. i believe we can get it done. any deal that is reached has to be bipartisan, and i asked the speaker what he thought about members of the house republicans to the far right who have said they won't accept anything less than a house—backed bill, what was he doing to assure them of that? he said, look, we are going to have to compromise, that's the only way to get the deal forward. both parties don't want to concede on any of the key issues that the constituents care about, that voters care about and that party members care about. but he said, when asked, should americans prepare for default, he was quite clear, he said no. the prime minister of india, narendra modi, is to address a large rally in sydney shortly, during a visit to australia aimed at strengthening economic ties. about 20,000 people are expected to attend.

the australian prime minister, anthony albanese will also be there. 0ur correspondent, phil mercer, is following this for us in sydney. good to see you, tell us more about why the indian prime minister is there and what he is expected to say?— minister is there and what he is expected to say? there has been a rock — is expected to say? there has been a rock star _ is expected to say? there has been a rock star welcome - is expected to say? there has been a rock star welcome for| been a rock star welcome for narendra modi in sydney. at the airport he was mobbed by fans and there was much excitement outside of his hotel as well. he is in australia for talks with the australian government regarding security, trade and renewable energy. so this was a highly anticipated visit by mr modi. he was supposed to be here for a meeting by the quad metres, an alliance of australia, japan, the united states and india, but president joe biden has biggerfish to

fry at home regarding the debt ceiling negotiations. so mr modi is here and he has the spotlight for himself. analysts are saying that india and australia have been driven together in recent years by geopolitical forces and that increased defence and security cooperation between new delhi and canberra are an attempt to counter china's rise in the indo—pacific region. and certainly mr modi's visit to australia will expose divisions within the indian community here. we are expecting some sort of demonstration by muslim and seek activists who have grievances around human rights and other concerns back home. so it promises to be a very busy time for mr modi. tomorrow he sits down for formal talks with his australian counterpart, anthony albanese. thank you.

we expect that raleigh to take place and we will have coverage around the world. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. from the police, to security, to apprentice bricklayer, jennifer is happy with her new career choice. i always wanted to learn a trade. so for me, if i was going to do one, it would be one where i can understand how to build a house. 100 apprentices a year will come through this new hub near cambridge and train in 18 months — a year quicker than usual. you start as a bricklayer, once you qualified, you can be earning 40,000 or even 50,000 a year as a bricklayer. last year there were just over 72,000 bricklayers working across the country, but by 2027, that number is actually projected to fall slightly, all at a time when all major political parties say they want more new homes to be built. the government recently added bricklayers to a list that

should make it easier for overseas brickies to get a visa. but it's home trained workers from places like this that's expected to make the biggest difference. you're live with bbc news. let's go live to the scene in washington with the breaking news we brought you earlier. authorities detained the driver of a truck on monday nightafter he crashed into security barriers on lafayette secret service spokesperson. "there were no injuries to any secret service or white housepersonnel, and the cause and manner of the crash remain underinvestigation." some roads and pedestrian walkways were closed, the secretservice said. reports from sudan say

a seven—day ceasefire has been violated shortly after it came into effect. in the capital, khartoum, witnesses say they have seen air strikes and clashes. the conflict between the sudanese army and the paramilitary group rapid support forces, or rsf, broke out five weeks ago. since the fighting began, an estimated 700 people have been killed and more than one million people have been displaced. at its core, it's a power struggle between sudan's regular army chief abdel fattah al—burhan, on the left, and his former deputy, mohamed hamdan dagalo, who leads the rsf — pictured on the right. this latest ceasefire, which commenced on monday evening, is the seventh to be announced since the conflict began. 0ur correspondent barbara plett usher has more details. this ceasefire agreement is different than the others because it's the first one that's been formally negotiated and signed by the two parties. there isn't a mechanism to enforce it, but there is one to monitor it, and that will include representatives from both sides and also from the two mediators, the united states

and saudi arabia. so this will be the platform where complaints can be brought about any violations. it will try to resolve disputes, and it will also help to co—ordinate with humanitarian agencies for the delivery of aid. there's been 48 hours between the signing of the agreement on saturday night and the ceasefire coming into effect, and the two sides were supposed to use that time to inform their forces on the ground about the terms, and to instruct them to comply. they also said that they would not try to take military or seek military advantage during this period. but we have seen fighting continue, so that's not been very encouraging. this ceasefire is strictly focused on relieving the humanitarian situation, which is dire. to give you some idea, the sudan doctors syndicate says only 29 hospitals are operating throughout the country, and not at full capacity. and only six in the capital. so the ceasefire really does need to work. tiktok is taking legal action to overturn its ban in the us state of montana. in the lawsuit, the chinese—owned video—sharing platform says the montana legislation violates

the first amendment of the us constitution by removing a forum for free speech. the law, which is set to come into force on january the first next year, would fine tiktok if it operated in the state and also prevent app stores from offering tiktok to users there. live now to washington dc, where we can speak to anton dahbura who is the executive director ofjohns hopkins information security institute. thank you for being with us. tiktok say the newly signed lawyer is a constitutional infringement on its right, what is your assessment? this infringement on its right, what is your assessment?— is your assessment? this is unprecedented _ is your assessment? this is unprecedented in _ is your assessment? this is unprecedented in the - is your assessment? this is| unprecedented in the united states. many people say that tiktok and its parent company, they have a strong place to be in this dispute. it is a very strange situation and one has

to realise that montana as a state has a very small population, only about a million people in a nation of 350 million or more people. it is easy to pass legislation in this manner but it is largely untested and a lot of scepticism.— untested and a lot of scepticism. untested and a lot of sceticism. ., ., ., ~ scepticism. could a ban work in reali ? scepticism. could a ban work in reality? how — scepticism. could a ban work in reality? how are _ scepticism. could a ban work in reality? how are you _ scepticism. could a ban work in reality? how are you going - scepticism. could a ban work in reality? how are you going to l reality? how are you going to police this? it reality? how are you going to police this?— police this? it is very difficult. _ police this? it is very difficult. nobody - police this? it is very | difficult. nobody sees police this? it is very - difficult. nobody sees how this will work. in fact, difficult. nobody sees how this will work. infact, if difficult. nobody sees how this will work. in fact, if this does develop into a cat and mouse game, the irony is that people will find workarounds using vpn and other techniques thatis using vpn and other techniques that is very similar to the cat and mouse game that is played precisely in china. it is kind of ironic when one thinks about it. is of ironic when one thinks about it. , , ,. ., , ., of ironic when one thinks about it. , , it. is this scene as a test case? it _ it. is this scene as a test case? it probably - it. is this scene as a test case? it probably is, - it. is this scene as a test case? it probably is, butj it. is this scene as a test| case? it probably is, buti think it is— case? it probably is, buti think it is very _

software and monitoring tiktok. secondly, there is kind of a conflation of issues here. one is security, and there is a legitimacy there, although the moment has passed, really. number two is this information and people are concerned about that. numberthree, is the and people are concerned about that. number three, is the time young people spend on their mobile devices. to mix all three of them is overly complex and owner us. they should be separated and viewed as separated and viewed as separate issues.- separated and viewed as separate issues. separated and viewed as searate issues. ., ,, , ., , separate issues. thank you very much forjoining _ separate issues. thank you very much forjoining us. _ separate issues. thank you very much forjoining us. my - much forjoining us. my pleasure. _ much forjoining us. my pleasure, thank- much forjoining us. ij�*i: pleasure, thank you. britain's royal air force has taken overfrom germany, in the lead role of policing the skies over nato's eastern flank in estonia. tensions have increased there since russia's full scale invasion of ukraine last year. 0ur security correspondent, frank gardner, was given exclusive access to nato's forward airbase at amari in estonia. in the skies above estonia, the raf is helping patrol nato's eastern flank on the lookout for any russian incursions.

since the full scale invasion of ukraine, nato's has been increasing its vigilance here in the baltics. come this way, let me show you the aircraft. so i'm on state at the moment, so if the alarm goes, clearly, i'll run back in, get my flying jacket, and i'll be into the aircraft to scramble. wing commander leask is an raf typhoon pilot serving with naito in estonia. he's on standby with the quick reaction force. so here we've got a typhoon aircraft. it is armed at the moment, so it's on state, we call it. the raf�*s nine squadron has just taken over this mission from germany's richthofen squadron. this is one of six raf typhoons based here at amari air base in estonia. it's part of nato's baltic air policing 0peration, flying regular patrols close to where nato's meets russia. the skies over the baltic sea are busy. it's mostly bordered by nato countries like estonia, latvia and lithuania.

but you've also got two major russian bases in st petersburg and in the russian exclave of kaliningrad. russian aircraft regularly fly between the two close to nato's airspace. a typical intercept is one where russian aircraft or more than one haven't filed a flight plan as they crisscross the baltic. they're not squawking, as it's called communicating, and they're not responding to air traffic control. this ongoing operation is all about deterrence. no shots have been fired in anger. we have conducted eight intercept missions. all of those have been against russian aircraft. how does this compare with otherjobs you've done in your career in the raf? here on the ground in estonia, i think the main difference is that interaction with the estonians themselves and what it means to them seeing us fly here.

i've had one estonian commander call our aircraft the sound of freedom. for now, these skies are largely peaceful. but nato's baltic states worry that when the ukraine war ends, moscow's attention may soon swivel in their direction. frank gardner, bbc news, at amari airbase in estonia. british government sources have told bbc news that there will be no further meetings aboutjunior doctors' pay in england, unless the latest strike is called off. the industrial action will last for three days from the 14th ofjune. the british medical association said the most recent pay offer from the government was not reasonable. ministers have called the strike "deeply disappointing". jonathan josephs reports. junior doctors have already taken to the picket lines twice this year as the nhs has been gripped by industrial action. a three—day walk—out in march was followed by another four days in april.

during that, nearly 50,000 appointments a day were canceled and consultants were called in to make sure emergency care was available. a similar scenario is expected if next month's action goes ahead. the doctors trade union, the british medical association, has been calling for a 35% pay increase to make up for years of below inflation rises. this isn't what doctors and patients deserve and will not keep our nhs well staffed and running into the future, therefore we have called for strike action. the breakdown of talks comes afterjunior doctors in scotland agreed a11i.5% pay rise with the scottish government — a deal they are now putting to their members. that's above inflation, which is running atjust over 10%. as for the situation in england, in a statement, the department for health and social care said, "it is both surprising and deeply disappointing

that the bma junior doctors committee has declared further strike action while constructive talks were ongoing. these will be hugely disruptive for patients and put pressure on other nhs staff". the government says its pay offer is fair and reasonable, but the bbc understands it isn't prepared to hold further talks unless the doctors withdraw their strike action. but given the size of the gap between the two, that doesn't seem likely to happen. jonathanjosephs, bbc news, in central london. just a reminder of our breaking news. these are live pictures from washington... authorities detained the driver of a truck on monday nightafter he crashed into security barriers on lafayette squareadjacent to the white house grounds, a us secret servicespokesperson said. "there were no injuries to any secret service or white housepersonnel, and the cause and manner of the crash remain under investigation,"

this was after the driver hit the barrierfor a this was after the driver hit the barrier for a second time. you can reach me on twitter — i'm @samanthatvnews. stay with us here on bbc news. hello. 0ur spell of fairly settled late spring weather is set to continue for another few days yet. so high pressure in charge and, through the next couple of days, then, things looking largely dry and fine. spells of sunshine around — and the sunshine really quite strong at this time of year. we did have largely clear skies in norfolk as the sun set. had a bit more cloud elsewhere during monday evening. but, as we head through into the early hours of tuesday, here's the high pressure in the atlantic that's pushing its way in — just a couple of fronts at times just pushing around the north of that area of high pressure. so there is a bit more cloud, we've got a warm front bringing more cloud to northern ireland through tuesday morning. some early brightness for the east of scotland, this but it will cloud over through the day. a few splashes of light rain in the far north, there. for england and wales, things are looking mostly

dry with some sunshine. but, as the cloud bubbles up, could just produce a rogue shower here and there — perhaps through parts of wales, the midlands, eastern england. temperatures 19 or 20 degrees in the warmest spots, but a bit cooler around the east coast and under the cloud further north. but, where you do see the sunshine come through, moderate to high levels of uv — so certainly another day for the sun cream with that strong sunshine breaking through. tuesday evening, any rogue showers fading away, so it's looking dry and settled once again. another very weak front — or the remnants of an old front here — just bringing more cloud across the far northwest as we head into the early hours of wednesday. but, again, most places looking frost—free with temperatures generally about five to ten degrees — could be a little bit lower than that where you do keep the clear skies. wednesday brings us another dry day with light winds. it'll probably be a little bit warmer compared to tuesday because we've got a bit of a different air mass, bit of a change in wind direction. under the cloudier skies in the north, 17 or 18 degrees, but further south we'll likely see 21, possibly 22 degrees through the middle part of the week. moving into the latter part of the week, then, another couple of very weak fronts moving to the north of that high pressure.

but, as we move into friday, it sits right across the uk. so for thursday, then, another largely dry day, bit of cloud around here and there, fairly light winds, and you'll probably notice those temperatures just starting to creep up by a degree or so. so, across scotland and northern ireland, 18, possibly 19 degrees. england and wales, we're looking at 22, 23 inland, but a little bit cooler close to the coast. and it looks like the fine, settled weather continues through the end of the week into the bank holiday weekend, and temperatures are going to be on the up. bye— bye.

live from london, this is bbc news ten days left before default, talks to lift the us debt ceiling continue with no deal yet in sight. italian prime minister giorgia meloni pledging to support the recovery of flood—hit areas of northern italy. and you've heard about 3d printing — but printing a whole school? well, that's what's happening in ukraine, and i'll be talking to the man who's doing it. hello and a very warm welcome. no signs of a debt ceiling deal in washingtonjust yet. this is after us presidentjoe biden met with top republican kevin mccarthy earlier today.

both men said talks were "productive" and repeated
