duterte was not very nice about former president barack 0bama. -- tie.an alignment of temperament with the us president. they seem to get on well. what's really interesting in the coverage of this is no mention of the fact the other 11 countries part of the tpp, trans—pacific partnership, they agreed to press on with the trade deal. the united states is not going to be part of that deal so we have to see the discussions between the us and the philippines in the wider context of what the us is seeking to do in asia—pacific. what the us is seeking to do in asia-pacific. a phrase that trips off president trump's tongue all the time is indo—pacific. off president trump's tongue all the time is indo-pacific. indeed. he is trying to create a new kind of jargon in the area which encompasses many countries and not necessarily increasing chinese influence. seeking to weave in india and the us wa nts to seeking to weave in india and the us wants to continue to offer itself as a credible counterweight to china in that region, and it looks like part of the trump adm

. —— barack 0bama. in the tdp alive. —— barack 0bama. in the hope that the us mightjoin again.panese government doesn't agree. he wants more of a multilateral solution to the region. they will have a major difference on this point when they meet in tokyo this point when they meet in tokyo this afternoon. apart from prime minister shinzo abe, who else will president trump be meeting with? he has tried to make the big pitch to the business sector already at this is the problem. some are here would say, are these just going to be talks? talks about talks. unless there is some movement on a us — japanese trade relations, what does it all amount to? he has started with the businesspeople in the hope that it would have some effect on the ground and this afternoon is more of a formal discussion with the japanese prime minister, looking at not only trade but of course these crucial question of north korea. we are expecting from here on in, after the trade portion of the day is over, he will be moving on to many more discussions are about dealing with north korea's nuclear weapons. take

barack 0bama talked about a tilt towards the pacific.ivered in practical terms, leaving aside the grand talk and the change of the faces at the top, in terms of the engagement with the region, has that happened ? it happened under0bama, you have the pacific partnership, the free trade agreement, that has been scrapped by donald trump's administration. with his bellicose rhetoric engaged in with north korea, that has contributed to uncertainty. he is going there for trade, not just nuclear policy and north korea, and the fact there are large deficits with south korea, with china, obviously, and so he needs to score some success on that front, both in terms of finding new markets for us companies and also getting china on board with the north korea policy. whether he can deliver that, with this robert mueller investigation hanging over him... if more allegations came out during that trip, he would be weakened, the leverage you would have in any negotiations in asia—pacific would be decreased. he has been obsessed with europe, came to franc

and president trump has been trying to overturn so many things that barack 0bama did.s going to make it. one of the favourites isjerome powell. why could he be the logical choice? because he would offer continuity. he has been on the fed board for quite well. he is not a well—trained economist and he is unlikely to drive a big change in opinion among the rest of the voting members. he will not influence of half the board who have ph.d. is in economics, for example. he will offer continuity and if you want low interest rates, which presumably president trump wants, putting him in would be the obvious choice. why it should john taylor be the man? he isa it should john taylor be the man? he is a huge figure. he looks at how far you are from unemployment target and comes up with estimates. this is called the taylor rule and it is used by many central banks will not at some point. however the problem is, the rule tells you interest rates should be 2% above where they are at the moment clearly scare the markets. bitcoin is getting closer to being recognised. a move could mak

since then, a wave of embarrassment because when it was originally science by barack 0bama, it was seenhim to come in. we are expecting to see how the next couple of days where the us kind of greece to something a lot softer than a hard pull out. it would be something. when he met emmanuel macron, he said we might be able to find something for everyone but we have americans turning up saying coal is great. what is interesting, mr trump has just saying coal is great. what is interesting, mr trump hasjust come back from the far east and china, the world ‘s leader in terms of energy, so if he's going to continue this trading with china he will have to stay on the same path with them. there might be some fudge from the conference. what a surprise. and keep your stories coming about how much of your current lifestyle would you sacrifice to get on the housing ladder? we have a tweet, i am 3051 have earned a house for 12 years, bought by working hard and having no social life, the best thing i did. i wonder if you agree. stay with us on the briefing. also on the programme: tottenham hotspur‘s

my name is barack 0bama, my mother was born in kansas, my father was born in kenya.at internally i was feeling when the president read them. you feel that you live or die in that moment. if he liked a joke he would add a little something, he would add a little or adlib a line. republicans are sorting out what happened in 2012. one thing they all agree on is they need to do a betterjob reaching out to minorities. and, look, call me self—centred, but i can think of one minority they could start with. hello... in the 0bama administration, humour was a chance for us to tell a little bit of truth about washington that we would not have got to tell otherwise. the most important think that a politician the most important thing that a politician can do when they telljokes is to be self—deprecating, especially in a democracy, to recognise that they are extraordinarily powerful, but also they are a human being, they make mistakes. some people still say i'm arrogant and aloof, condescending. some people are so dumb. laughter. no wonder i don't meet with them. you hear this thin

if you remember when the former president barack 0bama visited, the angle of his bow became huge, whetherbowed deeply or not deeply enough. thank you very much for that. live from tokyo talking about the upcoming visit of president trump to japan. we will get more on that in a little while. but first, more news stories. eight members of the catalan government fired last week for declaring independence have been remanded in custody by a spanish court. protestors gathered in barcelona to call for their release. james reynolds sent us this report from the scene. these pro—independence campaigners have come out to protest against the remanding into custody of eight former ministers. "libertad, libertad," they chant in catalan. "freedom, freedom." bear in mind, just a few days ago, these ministers were working in this, the headquarters of the catalan government, the generalitat. but now the reversal has been stunning. in a matter of a few days, those ministers declared independence, then madrid took over this region, and now all the ministers who work there are now in exile, on bail, or now in

whether under barack 0bama, in san bernardino and in orlando, florida, where he talked about radicalthere had been terror attacks in europe. and he hasn't used that at all in his tweets that he's issued tonight. in terms of the security, you can be sure that the fbi, in cooperation with friendly nations, will be doing their utmost to try to find out the maximum they can about this person. what his last movements were. who he's last been in contact with. and maybe — if you remember, the enormous lengths the fbi went to to get hold of the phone of the person involved in the san bernardino attacks, to see what they could get from a locked apple iphone. and the kind of enormous legal battle that went on. there'll be absolute determination that they find out everything. and i'm sure an fbi field office, a special investigation team is already up and running and state department people will be looking at when he came from uzbekistan, who he knew in uzbekistan, who his family knew in uzbekistan. what he may have done in tampa. this will be a multi—agency investigation and it will be involvi

larger problem is that it became a very politicised issue after the rose garden statement that barack 0bamand his supervisor also said that he had served honourably. well, as we have seen, he really had not served honourably. that is not at issue any more. the disputed issueis at issue any more. the disputed issue is what kind of punishment he deserves, and the judge issue is what kind of punishment he deserves, and thejudge had heard a lot of evidence. and the biggest piece of it, apparently, was president trump's comments during the campaign. ok, thank you very much forjoining us. stay with us on bbc news. still to come: it is a pink piece of presley pop history, and this cadillac is coming up for sale. the israeli prime minister, yitzhak rabin, the architect of the middle east peace process, has been assassinated. a 27—year—old jewish man has been arrested, and an extremistjewish organisation has claimed responsibility for the killing. at polling booths throughout the country, they voted on a historic day for australia. as the results came in, it was clear. the monarchy would survive. of

faces of celebrities, including jake gyllenhaal and emma watson, and the former us president, barack 0bamahers say it proves sheep possess similar facial recognition abilities to primates. i wasn't that surprised they could make the decisions because we have done lots of cognitive testing on sheep and we are good at decision making. the photographs were a step up. i work on huntington's disease and we have a sheep model that was developed in australia. these animals don't show any symptoms at all. we have been trying to devise ways of testing their cognitive function. 0ur semiautomated system you saw in the video allows us to test the decision—making of the sheep without interference from the operator. we have some tasks, usually we use letters, colours and shapes, a standard way of testing human cognitive function, the face recognition is an additional level. i love how interested the sheep look at the approach those photographs. the tennis star andy murray and his wife kim have announced the birth of their second child. kim gave birth to a baby girl; the couple already have a daughter, s

i have been around a long time and do not recall richard nixon, ronald reagan, barack 0bama, presidentioning the intelligence community. yes questioning them on conclusions but not at the expense ofa conclusions but not at the expense of a country many consider notjust a strategic competitor, but in occasional areas russia is our enemy. we have vast differences on iran, syria and vast differences on ukraine, or many fundamental issues, arms control, right now. this is not just unusual, it has never happened. that is what is disturbing. you will have spent time at the un talking about north korea and we were told ahead of the trip north korea was the priority for the president so how do you square rich with the idea he wants to bring them back to the table with this to eat over the weekend? he says the north korean leader keeps calling him old. he says that, i would never call him short and fat. he says... how will that insulting tweet bring north korea back to the table? how will that insulting tweet bring north korea back to the table7m how will that insulting tweet bring north korea

we heard from barack 0bama one earlier. what are your hopes for influence from the outside?oper democratic way. we cannot have that militarily taking power and deciding they are going to hang onto it. by having power they can do all sorts of things that they could not do before they had power. the seizing of private property, com plete the seizing of private property, complete breakdown of the rule of law in zimbabwe, people have had enough of it. did you ever think, 37 yea rs enough of it. did you ever think, 37 years since robert mugabe became leader of zimbabwe, did you ever think you would see the day when he would be pushed to one side? think you would see the day when he would be pushed to one side7m think you would see the day when he would be pushed to one side? it has taken everyone would be pushed to one side? it has ta ken everyone by would be pushed to one side? it has taken everyone by surprise. we cannot believe that that militarily have actually seized power. 0bviously i'll robert mugabe is still alive and living in his residence and is still essentially the p

ties have been strained between the two countries after the former us president barack 0bama criticiseded. the details were released slowly afterwards by the white house press office who were the first to say that human rights were briefly discussed. later the president of the philippines‘ spokesman said that president did hurt had been speaking about the war on drugs —— president did hurt —— duterte. briefly touched on, the issue of the war on drugs and human rights in the meeting. here‘ve also been violent demonstrations on the streets of manila against mr trump‘s visit. a group of protesters charged at riot police, who responded by using water cannon and sonic alarms to try and repel the crowd. and awkward moments are almost custom at these types of gatherings, and this one has been no different — take a look at this group handshake that took the us president a little while to master. and here‘s something you probably didn‘t expect, president duterte serenading a gala dinner at the order of mr trump. singing. isung, i sung, uninvited, isung, uninvited, they i sung, uninvited, they du

him, so everyone knows that if you want to please president trump just focus on the clintons, barack 0bamave an investigation like that but i can't see him doing it so he can keep his job. i am digging out a coat that he gave to a committee on the 13th of june. coat that he gave to a committee on the 13th ofjune. he said i have never met with any russians were foreign officials. i have no knowledge of any such conversations with anybody connected to the tramp campaign, but he did admit today that george popadolous did discuss it with him. isn't the sailing tours to perjury? that is why i said it was disingenuous. he was sworn in to tell the truth to the congressional committee. and he didn't. what are you going to do about it? we will have to see how it proceeds. i'm sure my republican colleagues will not want to press the situation, but on our side we will. talking about the facebook hearings, to what extent the facebook hearings, to what exte nt d oes the facebook hearings, to what extent does it make it difficult to have these investigation when the president of the united states seems

barack 0bama arrived for duty at a chicago courthouse yesterday, and joined other prospective jurors. while he took the time to shake a few hands and sign some autographs, the former commander—in—chief wasn't required and was dismissed. if he'd been selected, he would have been paid the princely sum of 13 pounds a day. yeah. have you ever donejury service? rola no. they end up picking a spokesperson. you would imagine no one would really argue with him. —— no. it would be tricky. we have a massive test match. crucial in deciding which way the ashes series is going to go. it is a points system, they changed it. they play one test match and there is assist —— series of 20 20 matches. there is only one test match that is played. do they do that the men's cricket? only the women's format. but with the amount of points available, they must win this because they are trailing currently in the series. it is a big day. they are one wicket down on the opening day. they have made a good start on a put it that way. an historic moment for northern ireland who are preparing for the first leg of th

an agreed position because shinzo abe wants to get this transpacific partnership, which was a barack 0bamas and pulled the us back in. donald trump is showing no indication that he wants to join up no indication that he wants to join up again. it is something that he pulled out of the first couple of days of office. it was meant to be a good photo opportunity, but even that truth controversy. it was about feeding some coy carp earlier and his fish feeding technique was called into question, wasn't it? yes, when these leadership some things happen people watch everything that they do. when donald trump first arrived he had a hamburger! they went to feed some fish, some coy carp, and i suppose due supposed to feed them little by little, but at some point he tips all the fish food in one go into the water. he has been criticised as opposed to uncouth his behaviour. when it all comes down to it if you are going to compare about to north korea's nuclear weapons or the importance of global trade, in the next couple of days will be forgetting about the great carp incident. thank you very much, st

a gif of barack 0bama doing a mic drop was posted on one account saying that this was something thatt famous previous cleats touring the presidential campaign. that's all we've got time for on this edition of the programme, we are up next to bbc news. the morning. we have had some pretty thick fog across the southern areas of england through this morning, that has cleared away and we have sunny spells developing across the south. for most of us it will be mostly cloudy day. thickest of the cloud north wales, northern england and into northern ireland. a few brea ks and into northern ireland. a few breaks in scotland and when the fog clears away, we will see some sunny spells, temperatures about 12 to 15 degrees. further north, a little cooler. this evening if going to any firework displays, for many it will be dry but there will be rain speeding into wales, southern areas of england and scotland as we go through the night, and that becomes extensive in saturday morning. that will clear way to the east tomorrow, but i did clearer skies and sunshine coming through. —— behind it, there

she said president trump's twitter style is very different to his predecessor barack 0bama.sive kind of tactic, such as harsh words and often really quite violent imagery. so completely different styles between the two of them. and they're certainly doesn't appear to be them. and they're certainly doesn't appearto bea them. and they're certainly doesn't appear to be a filter, does there, with president trump, in terms of what he is saying. it seems to quite spontaneous. yes, and i think that is part of his urgency to get his point across very quickly. he wants to get, without fact checking, his opinions out there and uses a lot of negative wording, it kind of tactic for saying he is not good at something, so therefore you can say what he wants. an example would be so and so is really ugly, but i shouldn't say that because it is politically incorrect. so he gets his opinion out in a very strange way that is not a normal weight or an acceptable way by other people. and you see any sign that anyone is trying to rain this in, or if they are, that they're having any success ? are
