the trans-atlantic bond is not just words. the trans-atlantic bond is very deeply rooted in history, in democratic values, in alliance. that's a reality and i think that it is also very much present among the leaders when they meet in the european council. they want the trans-atlantic bond to continue and they want to strengthen it. it continues to be a key factor in how we see how to place ourselves in this world. that also means that we need to build on what we have in common. we need to maximize the positive agenda and that is by bilateral relations, for example, in trade, but it's also about that rule-based international order, in the first instance about the wto, where there is sufficient commonality of interest to push, we believe, a common reform agenda. at the same time, we need to minimize the frictions. there have always been frictions in the trans-atlantic relationship and we have always been able to manage them. we have to be a little bit careful that they don't proliferate too much and because of the impact that t

that is when the real change is set to arrive, with this area of low pressure gathering out in the atlantic. and this weather front will bring some rain into the south—west, to start off with. first thing on wednesday morning, there will be some heavy rain across cornwall, across parts of south wales and stretching up across that south coast. so, as we go through the morning, that rain will continue to drift its way steadily northwards. we will see the potential for some thundery downpours across the midlands and into the north of england. it should stay dry throughout the day across parts of scotland. here, temperatures peaking at around 18 degrees, but a noticeable difference with the feel of the weather, particularly once that front goes through. it will clear and dry up but only highs of around 13—15d. and the wind direction will change, driving in this moist air off the atlantic and cooler air with it as well. so it stays showery for the end of the week and into the weekend and, more importantly, noticeably cooler for all. hello and welcome to sportsday. i'm gavin ramjaun. chelsea miss

and a very powerful atla ntic atlantic and a very powerful atlantic storm that is side sweeping as andg our way and we are to the east of it and you can see clearer whether they are and that is because there is a big area of high pressure a cross because there is a big area of high pressure across scandinavia right 110w pressure across scandinavia right now and it acts like a block on the weather so if weather fronts try to come through and encounter high pressure, it cannot progress and it stays quiet across some parts of the world. early on sunday morning, very nippy out there and freezing or below, even in bigger city centres. i showed you that swirl on the satellite image, the storm is here at this stage but it is pushing the letter found in our direction and at this stage but it is pushing the letterfound in our direction and it is dying away and getting a bit of cloud and some spots of rain in western areas but the vast majority of the uk on sunday should have a bright day and i mentioned earlier on it is going to be warming up over the next few days and that is certainly the cas

we will not see temperatures plummet straightaway, still 21, 22 on offer but once we pick up that atlantiche atmosphere that we will begin to see heavy downpours of rain gradually drifting from the south, from the west and it is at this point where we will see temperatures beginning to fall back. into the upper teens. here we are into thursday and those bells of rain will work their way further northwards, ever further from west to east where most areas will buy the second half of the week will see some rain and for some, that will be quite welcome. by that stage, temperatures will be lurking around the mid—teens, so by the end of the next week we will be looking at something more unsettled. the risk of thundery showers and it will turn cooler with temperatures ending at the seasonal norm. this is bbc news, the headlines at 10pm. police investigating the murder of the journalist, lyra mckee say they are dealing with a "new breed of terrorist". scotland yard requests two—hundred extra officers from neighbouring forces to help with the climate change protests, as the number of arrests reache

in peacetime, losing a russian sub in the atlantic is embarrassing.ould be a disaster. >> foggo: think about the global infrastructure that rests on the bottom of the ocean. >> martin: you're talking about the undersea cables. >> foggo: that's correct. >> martin: those fiber optic cables carry 99.4% of the data exchanged over the internet by the u.s. and its allies and trading partners. depending on your point of view, they are either the backbone, or the achilles heel, of the world economy. >> martin: have russian submarines gotten close to those undersea cables? >> foggo: i'm not at liberty to talk about any of that. >> martin: that's because tracking russian submarines is a top-secret, day-in-day-out game of hide-and-seek. but the norwegian military allowed "60 minutes" aboard one of its maritime patrol planes to see what sub-hunting looks like. the pilot, copilot and engineer are up front, while the crew in the back scans the norwegian sea with radar and high-powered cameras. flying at less than 300 feet, they can clearly make out anything on the

the week and we lose the influence of the continent on the weather and it will be more about the atlanticmething of a transition day, the first signs of cloud with the odd shivery burst into the western areas, not seen temperatures plummeting straightaway, the odd 20 to 22 on offer but once we begin to pick up that atlantic influence introducing more moisture into the atmosphere it will begin to see some quite heavy downpours gradually drifting from the south and west across parts of the south and west across parts of the british isles and it is at this point be begin to see temperatures are falling back, no more 2425 if you ever got that, may be the upper teens. into thursday those belts of sugary rain work further north and from west to east to the point where most areas go buy the second—half of the week have seen at least some rain and for some that will be quite welcome. by that stage temperatures will be looking tween the mid—teens so by the end of next week looking at something a good deal more u nsettled, at something a good deal more unsettled, the risk of thundery showers and it

of low pressure pushing in from the atlantic. it'll bring some rain, some of it heavy, across south—west england and wales, with rumbles of thunder into the midlands and the north of england as we go through the day. it should stay dry and warm for scotland, cooler and fresher behind. and that marks the change as we go into thursday. for the end of the week, it's cooler and showery, back to where we should be. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines... sri lankan authorities blame a local islamist extremist group for the series of co—ordinated bomb attacks that killed 290 people, including eight britons. it's confirmed that british mother anita nicholson and her two children are among those killed. her husband ben paid tribute to his "perfect wife" and "wonderful children". dozens of firefighters are trying to control a moorland fire at marsden in west yorkshire. it's thought the blaze, which broke out last night and extends to over a square mile, was started by a barbecue. police say more than 1,000 people have been arrested afte

the cooperation on information sharing it's about all the services that we're providing across the atlantic what we really have here is a loaded gun is something that western democracies who values human rights should think very carefully about if they want to give that to an authoritarian regime with very different values about the use of data. despite concern in washington while way has already conducted child in a number of european countries including france and germany forty commercial contracts were confirmed last month with the chinese firms with seventy thousand to five bases set up and globally now we're joined by earl arise missin the executive vice president of the eurasian center thanks for coming on to the program to discuss this now in your opinion could there be more than just security reasons why do you think the u.s. is so keen to halt any cooperation between wall way on the five g. network. well manure there's there's a lot of reasons and i would i all the security is. the consideration i think the main reason is. is technology and competitiveness i mean basically the u.s.

we don't set a good example on either side of the atlantic today where we seem to be having simultaneousthose virtues of the way in which we look at organising our own societies, and how societies should interact with one another. but we must do a betterjob of demonstrating that we can actually live by those values at home. william burns, thank you very much. my pleasure. thanks so much. hello there, good morning. sunshine really did make a big difference to the temperature yesterday. we had 20 degrees for the first time in a long time. that was recorded in east anglia in the sunshine. further north in the north—east of england, it was a very different look to the weather. the mist and fog and low cloud rolling in from the north sea and temperatures about 7 degrees. now, we should get sunshine in the north—east of england on tuesday but our air is getting colder. 0ur air is coming all the way from scandinavia over the cold north sea so we are going to find temperatures dropping. that mild and warmer windier weather is staying out in the atlantic and it wasn't very warm in mid wales on mo

he has canvassed opinion of of the atlantic. and the dedication of the us president. —— really is not sure. the straight road to the core of the alliance itself. so it surprised us as well. i have great respect for him. you simply wrong. grilled by congress, mike pompeo rejected the criticisms. if the conclusion he true is that president trump is the impediment to nato, he is wrong. the trump administration certainly is acting in support of nato. among other things it has deployed troops to eastern europe and increased the budget for defending it. but words also count. maybe even more than actions when they come from the president of the united states. so this commemoration may feel more like a test of us commitment to the alliance than a celebration of it. barbara plett usher, bbc news, washington. plenty more to come on the briefing, including fears of a climate catastrophe. new figures show canada's arctic is warming twice as fast as anywhere else. the accident that happened here was of the sort that can at worst produce a me
