chi chi izundu reports. since the 1950s there hasn't been robust data into student suicides. but the office for national statistics and the higher education statistics agency have worked together to find out the rates for those specifically in higher education. in the last 12 months leading up tojuly 2017, 95 students took their own lives in england and wales. the report found that in the last ten years the rate of suicide among students has increased slightly but overall the numbers dying by suicide is lower than the national average of the same age. we believe that every student suicide is at some point preventable. and we are asking universities to step up to prioritise this and to work with us to help prevent these deaths. in the last year before i went to uni i began to struggle more with depression. in herfirst year, 20—year—old rebecca struggled with her mental health at university and tried to take her own life. she now wants more to be done to help support students just like her. i still do think universities could do more especially for people who have got more longer term mental health difficulties that are not just caused by a sudden event and can kind of be fixed quite quickly. the report which looked at death certificates and the verdicts given at inquests, also found that suicides amongst male students was higher than female. with half of all young people now going to university, the charity student mind says the the onus of help and support should notjust be on the nhs. we see that move towards a whole university approach where everybody from the front line cleaners through to academics through to students themselves feel they are better equipped with the knowledge and confidence and skills to support their own mental health and support others. the number of students disclosing mental health problems has increased fivefold in a decade as has the call for universities to work more actively to help prevent suicides. chin regarding issues raised by that report, you can go to bbc.co.uk/actionline, or call for free to hear recorded information on 08000155 998. to the weather forecast now. those who booked a week off work this week probably feeling quite happy because it is set to stay as you started. blue skies for the vast majority, strong sunshine and feeling particularly hot as well for some. notan particularly hot as well for some. not an especially humid night so fairly comfortable, we will see a low cloud returning to parts of eastern scotland and england, temperatures down to single figures and in the countryside but in city centres holding in the teens into tuesday morning. sunshine overhead for many, gave us tuesday morning. sunshine overhead for many, gave us some on tuesday morning. sunshine overhead for many, gave us some on the east coast but the sun is so strong that client does not come and land too much and will dissipate even along the coast." northern ireland, the outside chance of a s

chi chi izundu reports. i certainly know more students that have had mental health difficulty that have not. i've got friends that have had anxiety, some kind of a depression... i don't think a student should have to go and end up on tablets. especially being president of the students' union, some days i'm on the phone with some students who are crying, basically. students at birmingham city university giving us a snapshot of their experience of mental health problems. a situation that is reflected nationwide. but with the recent increased media reporting on university mental health and suicide, there's been an impression a substantial rise in such student deaths has been happening. since the 1950s, there have been very few comprehensive pieces of research on student suicide. in fact, up until recently, statistics couldn't even give us detail on things like age clusters, whether that person was undergrad or postgrad, or even allow us to compare that same age group with those that didn't go into higher education. but these new 0ns figures have tried to get that detail. the data suggest the large majority of suicides were among undergraduates. since the year 2000, of the students who died by suicide, two thirds were men. and the research estimates that the number of students who took their own lives was lower than the national average of the same age. the 0ns warns the research comes with caveats for a number of reasons, including the focus being solely on higher education students, and the small numbers per year make it difficult to identify statistically significant differences. but 95 deaths are still 95 deaths. the figures do suggest that the number of student suicide and the rate of student suicides has been higher in the last four years. i think universities still have quite a long way to go before the campuses are a mentally healthy place, and to be fair to the universities i think they have realised that, and there are some initiatives under way now to make sure that students are properly supported. one of the major steps was actually being open and to say, "i have depression, and i have tried to take my life." students have told us how increasing pressures are impacting on their mental health, students just like chris coombs, who, 11 years ago, was discovered mid—attempt by a family member. you are told that university is the time of your life and these are the friendships you'll hold onto forever and all the rest of it, and this is your, you know, first steps into the big wide world of adult life. and you can't do it. you have this expectation that you should be able to deal with this. when that doesn't happen, it's very difficult to then turn around and say, "actually, i've got a problem here," particularly when you're 18. now 29, chris is back at university and says this experience is a very different one. you're starting from a position when you're down there of suicide is the only option. but if you get the right support, the right help, other options become available, tolerable, you know, palatable. "0h, actually, i might be able to do that." life's good? life's very good. chiues raised by that report, you can go to bbc.co.uk/actionline, or call for free to hear recorded information on 08000155 998. rescue divers in thailand are searching for a group of children believed to have been trapped in a flooded cave in the north of the country since saturday. 12 children aged between 11 and 16 together with their football coach were exploring inside the cave's narrow tunnels when a section near the main entrance was flooded. their desperate parents have gathered outside the cave as jonathan head reports. thai navy divers are battling strong currents, deep water and mud—blocked passages in the cave complex, as they try to find the missing boys. but they have still not made contact with them. they were reported missing on saturday after a football practice. their bicycles were found left close to the cave entrance. and the boys posted this photo on facebook, takenjust before they went down. the complex stretches for many miles. they have not been able to reach the f

aquarius, run by a humanitarian group, they were allowed to leave the rescue zone and head north. but they were stuck between two countries, both adamant that they are not obliged to take them in. we will oblige and work around the legal obligations that are expected of us. but for the moment it is not the situation. italy's new government backs tougher immigration rules. the interior minister, matteo salvini the new, has closed all italian ports to the aquarius. he said today that malta takes in nobody, france pushes people back at the border, spain defends its frontier with weapons. from today, italy will start to say no to human traffic in, no to the business of illegal immigration. it is not the first time he has linked vessels like the aquarius to the people smugglers bringing migrants from north africa. a deal between libya and italy has seen hey! drop in migrant numbers. but more than 13,000 have been registered in italy so far this year. problem hasn't gone away. the bottom line is that there is a humanitarian imperative to rescue people and to bring them to the nearest port. notwithstanding there are lots of arguments about which is the right port to bring them to but clearly people in distress need to be looked after. and the smugglers aren't part of this, they don't care, as and they will be sending more people, even today. the aquarius says it has supplies for a few more days. but there are many vulnerable people on this overcrowded vessel, people suffering hypothermia and burns, at least seven women who are pregnant. but for the moment they have nowhere to go and this stand—off doesn't just affect them, the next migrants rescued in the southern mediterranean may well face the same problem. richard lister, bbc news. we are joined by charlie yaxley from unhcr, the united nations refugee agency. it would appear in spain is stepping in where italy and malta refused? we have been seen the reports of spain offering to allow this boat to disembark. if it is true, it is a very welcome development and exceptional display of generosity from spain and the people of spain. it is exactly that kind of solidarity that is needed amongst european states to address the arrivals that are coming across the mediterranean. we have to remember that on this boat was 600 people, men, women and children, some who we re men, women and children, some who were incredibly vulnerable and in urgent need of health care. it was very critical they receive the support they can only receive onshore. so this development from spain isa onshore. so this development from spain is a very welcome one. what do you make of the italian and the maltese response when you are saying these people desperately need help? the absolute priority is to be saving lives. that has to come first and foremost. the political conversations about who has responsibility, for which region and what circumstances, they are discussions that can and should happen afterwards. but they are not something that should happen when lives are at stake. italy, malta, greece and spain, they are countries who have been on the front line of receiving arrivals crossing the mediterranean and it is true more support is needed from european member states to show solidarity in responsibility sharing to have a fairer distribution of new arrivals. where has that spirit gone, because italy's new interior minister has said it is a huge responsibility and turning italy into a huge refugee camp, it is not. italy is receiving a disproportionate new arrivals of of its position. that trend has continued. it is down significantly compared to where we were over the last two years. but there remains a need for other countries to come forward and agree a mechanism and procedure that allows for a situation, when one country is disproportionately bearing the burden on their infrastructure, that other countries already step in and help that country would meeting the needs of those asylum seekers and refugees. everybody is being very diplomatic saying this is what should happen, we understand why it hasn't and people need to think seriously about this, but when you hear 629 people are adrift in the middle of the mediterranean and no one is prepared to help them, you must get angry? we have to remember that behind the numbers we hear this time, it is 600 or so, there are individual people, men, women and children who are there with their families and many of whom have suffered an incredibly traumatic journey to reach the point where they are. we have to remember nobody chooses to take what is an incredibly dangerous and potentially fatal crossing across the mediterranean, unless they feel they have no other choice. thank you very much for your time. the health secretary, jeremy hunt, is promising more support for doctors and nurses who make "honest mistakes" while treating patients, so they can learn from their errors without fear of prosecution. mr hunt has accepted the findings of a review into gross negligence manslaughter charges in healthcare. it was prompted by the case of a trainee paediatrician who was struck off after the death of a six—year—old boy. our health correspondent james gallagher reports. the death of jack adcock in 2011 is the tragic backdrop to today's announcement. the 6—year—old boy had sepsis and suffered a cardiac arrest at leicester royal infirmary. signs of his infection were missed, and it was mistakenly thought he was under a do not resuscitate order. the doctor in charge when he died, doctor hadzia bawa—garba, admitted a catalogue of errors, but her conviction for gross negligence, manslaughter, and subsequently being barred from practicing, shocked many doctors and nurses, leading fears around how medical staff are expected to admit to and learn from mistakes. among the measures being announced are the investigation of every death by a medical examiner or coroner. data on doctors' performance will allow them to see how they compare to help them improve. and the regulator, the general medical council, will no longer be able to appeal against the findings of disciplinary hearings, as it did in the bawa—garba case. jack‘s mum, nicola adcock, says she's angered by the decision. unfortunately, she didn't make one, two or three mistakes. that day, on her own, she made 21 errors. to say to the general medical council that going forward you are not allowed a right to appeal, how can this doctor appeal at every single stage? how can there be one rule for one and not for another? why do doctors automatically assume that they are untouchable, that they're above the law? the general medical council said it was disappointed that the new measures would reduce its ability to protect patients. but the doctors' union, the bma, said it was vital to learn from mistakes. what we really need is to have an nhs which is properly resourced, with adequate numbers of doctors, nurses, hospital beds and gp surgeries, so that we have the climate to provide safe, quality care, and we also need to have an environment and a culture that is a learning, rather than a blaming culture. there will always be errors on the frontline of medicine. the challenge is to find the best way of protecting patients and preventing tragedies, like that of jack adcock. james gallagher, bbc news. the duke and duchess of sussex will make an official visit to australia, fiji, tonga and new zealand in the autumn. it will be prince harry and meghan's first royal tour since they got married last month. the trip is scheduled to coincide with the fourth invictus games, which take place in sydney in october. and finally have a look at these pictures from new york. cctv has caught the moment that a bin lorry lost control in a new york borough of brooklyn, wreaking havoc. it rammed cars and mounted the pavement, crushing the vehicles and a tree. in total nine cars were hit by the rubbish truck, but incredibly no—one was injured. the driver of the truck was arrested at the scene. time for a look at the weather. a lot of gardeners hoping for a bit of rain. this was at the weekend in cumbria. whilst most of us have been dry, it has been lovely where i have been. this is signs of a funnel cloud, a tornado. you can see it snaking down into helvellyn in cumbria. just how ferocious the storms have been across the uk in the past few weeks. they have seen storms in slovenia, hailstones here, causing damage. stripping the tiles off roofs and causing damage to cars. it has been pretty unpleasant. generally, it has been a case of clearing up after the storms. we have seen flash flooding in the uk but it is because the weather patterns have been static and things have been warming up, storm clouds have been warming up, storm clouds have gone up and they have been sitting across the same areas. i had people staying with me from the south of france and they had the weather we would begetting and we have had theirs. but it is going to change? yes, if you are in the northern half of the country because the clue is in thejet northern half of the country because the clue is in the jet stream. it has been absent, week to the north of the uk, leaving us in warmer air. as we go to this week, it charges out of the united states and towards us, bringing ripples of colder, fresh air to the uk, warming things up fresh air to the uk, warming things up across fresh air to the uk, warming things up across the mediterranean and into italy. bringing areas of low pressure and we haven't seen them for a while. thursday could be a stormy start across the northern half of the uk. let's take a look at what is happening for the rest of today. we are in relative calm for the vast majority. isolated thunderstorms of this afternoon, we have had some across the peak district, across the pennines but most fine, good, sunny spells and these are the temperatures this afternoon. about 25, 26 in the south—east corner. we could see heavy showers and storms across devon and cornwall, maybe cropping up devon and cornwall, maybe cropping up in south wales. we have seen them cross into the north—east of england, particularly in the north of derbyshire. all the way to into parts of yorkshire and some cropping up parts of yorkshire and some cropping up central and eastern scotland. most of those will fade away as we go into the night. it will be dry for most of you but a general flow from north to south so the cloud is drifting south, keeping temperatures up drifting south, keeping temperatures up but with fresh air in northern scotland, northern ireland and northern england, where there are clearer skies temperatures could drop into single figures. there will be plenty of cloud across central areas and it will be a cooler day compared with today. northern ireland wakes up with sunshine and eastern scotland sees warmer conditions at last. but sunshine into the west of england and wales may set off some isolated showers. high pressure is in charge through tuesday and into wednesday but the weather front is ganging up tuesday and into wednesday but the weatherfront is ganging up in tuesday and into wednesday but the weather front is ganging up in the wings to the west. on wednesday, enjoyed a dry and sunny weather, particularly england and wales, isolated showers possible across the south. the wind picks up and then rain starts to spread in and for the western isles and the hebrides this could be the first significant rain we have had for up to three weeks. the wettest weather takes us into thursday morning. we will see widespread gales, gusts of wind, 40, 50, maybe 60 miles an hour possible. it will be windy elsewhere but the wettest weather will be north. that is how your latest weather is looking here on afternoon live. this is bbc news — our latest headlines. as donald trump prepares for his summit with the north korean

singapore between us president donald trump and north korean leader kimjong—un. until this summit, there had been nearly 70 years of enmity between the two countries. david eades has been been looking at the extensive and sometimes disturbing images from the bbc film archive of this complex, and hostile relationship — which began with a bitter and bloody war. for a conflict pitching the us and the west against soviet forces and the chinese, never mind korean against korean, it's ironic this was labelled the forgotten war. initially the north flooded south, allied reports masking a dreadful first month. the un command has halted the north korean advance and is holding it on a line around the perimeter. that triggered a us-led relentless air bombing to force the communist enemy back across the border, in three years of combat, more than two million death, many military, many more civilian. purges were carried out, massacres inflicted on and by both sides. more ordinance dropped in north korea in three years than in the entire theatre of operation in world war ii. every urban centre flattened. the the north koreans themselves, they see the conflict and the way they represent it to their citizens it was a north korean victory. in fact it was a war neither won nor lost nor officially finished, only an armistice. over the years distrust has occasionally given way to hope. v mr carter is supposedly here on a former visit. former president carter stepped in to build a deal in 1994. bill clinton visited seeking to improve relation, the result on both occasions false dawns. don't forget that north korea has a record of breaking agreements of concealment. to put it bluntly of cheating. i would argue the desire to make north korea great again will mean that kim jong un will want to have that opportunity to find an opening, and thatis opportunity to find an opening, and that is why i think international leaders including donald trump would be wise to take that opportunity and develop it. since the korean war itself of course so much has changed and yet the problem there hasjust course so much has changed and yet the problem there has just festered, time and again efforts to resolve it have come to nothing, one thing the archive does show us though, through its absence, is any picture of a serving us president meeting a severing leader of the republic of korea. as this summit approaches we are entering uncharted our diplomatic correspondent james landale is here. now, none of us knows what on earth is going to happen in the next 24 hours but we know it will be down to two men and the translators and nobody else. yes, and that is what is interesting about it, is you are starting a summit in the wrong way, normally they build up with the officials and everybody getting together, building to a point where either you have a complete agreement and the two leaders are there merely to sign it off or you reach a point ina to sign it off or you reach a point in a negotiations where you can't get any further without the leaders being there to make the hard tough political decision and that i can have a proper conversation, what is happening here is the initial throat clearing is this possible conversation, is going to be held by the leaders immediately, which is why i don't think expectations should be roaringly high, if at best this summit will be about the start ofa this summit will be about the start of a process. well you have donald trump who says he will know within seconds whether it will work. he will know whether he feels he can do business with president kim and whether in his view whether it is worth proceeding. the process of denuclearisation, even if they start agrees a process to say how shall we do it, remember the arms control negotiations, the salt one and salt two and the start one and start two. these things go on for years and they take a long time, because they involve a lot of detail, what missiles have you got, what nuclear weapons have you got, how do you define warhead, how are you keeping them, how will we verify whether you are going to destroy them or not? it is hugely complicated and takes a long time. and while the sense is that kimjong long time. and while the sense is that kim jong un long time. and while the sense is that kimjong un knows, the answer to all those question, the feeling is that donald trump maybe doesn't. well, i don't think he is going to be asking those questions at this summit. ithink be asking those questions at this summit. i think what he will say is look, do we think there is a possibility of can we actually get the show on the road? is it possible... is that going to be enough he needs to come away with something, there is a sense he has advisers saying you are being suckered in here. what both sides are hoping is there is enough mutual interest for both sides, for it to go well. it is possible for them to say, hey we got only together personally, so that will be the body language, the handshakes and whatever the choreography of tomorrow looks like, secondly is there a broad statement of principle, some kind of mini text we can sign up to and thirdly is there some kind of process they can sign up some kind of process they can sign up that says in the future this will be the degree of engagement between both countries in the future, to look at this issue. if they can agree a package round that, however bland, however minimalistic they might feel they have come away with enough meat to say it was successful. you are the bbc diplomatic correspondent, that image of president trump standing next to kimjong un, and the sense of president trump standing next to kim jong un, and the sense that world peace to some degree hangs in their hands, how comfortable will that be as a feeling? i think it is better to see people shaking hands than tweeting insults at each other and threatening each other with nuclear weapons so on a basic level, that you know the least we can hope for, but i think you know, you and i have seen lots of handshakes between middle east peace leaders on the lawns of the white house and they haven't come to pass, so the handshake is merely one element of this diplomatic process. there is something in the air says drum. there is isn't there? yes, but what is it? i am supposed to ask the questions! you can get more on this historic summit — on our website... viz gfx we'll have all the latest background and analysis. that's all at bbc dot co uk forward—slash news police investigated the suicide bomb

up six awards, and glenda jackson won best actress in her first appearance on a new york stage in three decades. tom brook reports. new york's landmark radio city music hall was the venue for the tony awards, broadway's biggest night of the year. top names in theatre came out for the event. and the tony award goes to... harry potter and the cursed child. harry potter and the cursed child, a broadway import of the celebrated british play which originated in london, picked up six tony awards. it won for best play, direction, costume, lighting, scenic and sound design. thank you so much, this is such an extraordinary honour. thank you to broadway for welcoming us so openly. glenda jackson. and it was a triumphant night for britain's glenda jackson, who won for best actress in a play for her role as an elderly matriarch in edward albee's three tall women. the production marked the former labour mp‘s first appearance on broadway in three decades. is it easier being an actress than a politician? they're so different, it's extremely hard to make any direct comparison, other than at their best, both the theatre and politics are trying to tell us the truth about ourselves and how we can actually create a working society for everybody. and how are you going to celebrate tonight? i think i'm going to have a drink, whenever there's any drink within reach. the best revival of a play tony went to angels in america, a production from britain's national theatre. this two—part epic from playwright tony kushner set in new york during the onset of the aids epidemic also earned an award for andrew garfield for his leading role in the play. i want more life! andrew lloyd webber had a presence at the ceremony — his musicals have made a big impact on broadway, and he was honoured with a lifetime achievement award. for me to get this from the home of musicals, broadway, is just extraordinary. i'm sort of pinching myself, i don't really believe it. all in all it was a great night for britain, with plays, with uk theatre talent taking home many tony trophies. but when it came to musicals, it was a rather different picture, because american productions triumphed. the best revival of a musical tony went to a production of once on this island, and the best musical trophy went to the band's visit, the story of an egyptian police band stranded in a remote israeli town. it won ten tony trophies, more than any other production. tom brook, bbc news, new york. in a moment, the business news with maryam moshiri. first, a look at the headlines on afternoon live. the white

on afternoon live. retailer poundworld is in administration after rescue talks failed to find a buyer. poundworld has 355 stores, serving two million customers a week. the move puts 5,100 jobs at risk. the latest figures on the performance of the economy show a sharp decline in manufacturing output. in the second quarter of the year, output was down by one—point—four %, month on month. that's the steepest decline in six years. the office for national statistics says international demand had weakened, and construction orders also fell off after april. hsbc‘s new chief executive has set out how he wants the banking giant to get "back into growth mode". john flint, who was appointed earlier this year, said hsbc would invest between £11bn and £13bn over the the next three years in areas such as technology and china. so big story pound world going into admin straight. yes is the latest in admin straight. yes is the latest in a run of terrible news from the high street, poundland as we are talking about has... pound world. that is theissue, about has... pound world. that is the issue, isn't it. it has been losing money, over the last few years we have seen it losing £17.1 million in 2016, that co m pa res to losing £17.1 million in 2016, that compares to 5.4 million the previous year and this is a similar tale we have been seeing, lack of investment, in big name stores, in particular we have seen problems with toys are us, maplin, mothercare, different retailers but theissues mothercare, different retailers but the issues with poundworld, many people make that same mistake and thatis people make that same mistake and that is one of the reasons we have seen problem, it doesn't have a proper identity in a market that is hugely saturated, with so many discount store, we have poundland, which is trading pretty well, liddle and aldi who take up some of the space, so poundworld, lack of investment, high rent, issues with the fact it charges a pound, so that holds it back in terms of higher costs a nd holds it back in terms of higher costs and whether it can pass them on. let us look at this package from our business correspondent emma simpson who has more. stack it high and sell it for a pound. it has been a winning formula. chains like this one soared in popularity since the recession. but even the discount end of retail is not immune from the problems gripping this industry. poundworld collapsed this morning. i am disappointed. i get a lot of little bits and bobs in there. and i love it. really sad to see it go because we have got nothing else in town here. we've got no shops at all, have we? no. the problem is in the title. poundworld buys most of its goods in dollars. with the weaker pound it has been costing them a lot more to fill the shelves. and with its business model, those costs can't easily be passed onto shoppers. here is the man who started it all, chris edwards, who went from a market stall to more than 300 shops. but he sold poundworld to an investment company three years ago. he was not the only one to check out. the co—founder of 99p stores sold his business that year as well. i think the writing was on the wall and that is what we saw coming which is why we sold out when we did. what went wrong with poundworld is i think symptomatic in a way of what is going on on the high street at the moment. there are rising costs on all fronts, whether that is business rates, whether its utilities, minimum wage, rents... and the pound, the single price point model, simply wasn't sustainable. poundworld struggled in an increasingly competitive market. discount stores have a role to play, every consumer likes a bargain. but as with all retail it requires careful management. and you need to keep a close eye on the retail brand. it is not an easy route just because you're a discount retailer. you need to pay as much attention to the retail proposition as you would if you were at the higher end of the market. the administrators believe a buyer can still be found for this chain or at least part of it. it is business as usual for now but today's news leaves another 5000 shop workers with an uncertain future. emma simpson, bbc news. breaking news. we have had our business editor tweeting and jaguar land rover. according to simonjack, they have just announced they will be moving production overall their discovery car, that is the land rover 4x4 to slovakia, this is a different story who what we have been hearing, they said they would continue production concurrently. this latest news, we have been hearing aboutjob this latest news, we have been hearing about job losses this latest news, we have been hearing aboutjob losses in the company, round 1,000 were announced, the latest is they will be moving production of all of these cars to slovakia, that will impactjobs hugely in the factories in the uk, andi hugely in the factories in the uk, and i will look into this when i go out of the studio and bring you more in the next hour. so president trump, in singapore, the world elsewhere is still reeling from his appearance at the g7. things move so quickly. we are talking about the g7, now we are talking about the g7, now we are talking about the g7, now we are talking about kim jong talking about the g7, now we are talking about kimjong un, and president trump, but everyone is still reeling from what happened there. we thought we had some sort of deal, then suddenly we had donald trump tweeting once again. from air force one. he got angry. it is this photograph. it is so good. there is another one taken photograph. it is so good. there is another one ta ken where photograph. it is so good. there is another one taken where they are all smiling but this is the photograph obviously that sums up what. .. smiling but this is the photograph obviously that sums up what... have you seen the various memes. we are not going to show those! criticising america's closest ally, in the past canada, europe, mexico, criticising justin trudeau the canadian prime minister, let us get more on that with our reporter paul blake. you are there at the hub of wall street talking to people about their reaction, the reaction is still continuing to what was a divisive g7 meeting. yes, 23 you thought things we re meeting. yes, 23 you thought things were going to simmer down after saturday you thought wrong. even as donald trump is preparing for this historic summit with kim jong un, he is taking off time to fire off angry tweets at key us allies over the issue of trade. in particular this morning he has been calling out the costs of nato, the defence pact of western countries saying the us pays for almost all the cost of it. the us pays for about a fifth of it but the president saying the us is paying to protect allies who are ripping off the us on trade. 0k. ripping off the us on trade. ok. paul, thank you very much indeed. a quick look at the markets. singapore and the fact we might be seeing a deal between america and north korea, that has held the markets up, i want to sew you what the pound is doing. we had those economic figures out of the uk, showing that you know, things are hitting a wall and that is weakening it. interest rates unlikely to be going up soon. that is it! unlikely to be going up soon. that is it i will be back in an hour's time with more onjaguar. time for a look at the weather with matt taylor hello there. another very pleasant early summer's day out there for many of you, but there are some big weather changes on the way this week for many. it's all down, the clues in the positioning and the strength of the jet stream. which recently, including to start this week, is almost nonexistent. to the north of us, it is on the warm side. but that jet stream roars into life in the skies above the united kingdom, firing areas of low pressure systems and working their way towards us. in fact wednesday night into thursday will be the big change, especially the northern half of the country. not just some wet weather, for some the first significant rain in over two weeks. but potentially, gale, if not severe gale force winds. they are a few days away. as i said, out there for many it is another day of sunny spells. a few isolated thunderstorms popping up and they'll be mainly focused across some southern and eastern areas. towards the south it across parts of wales and the south—west, very slow moving. could be quite torrential in places, some hail and the greater chances of that towards the eastern side of the pennines into yorkshire, parts of north—east england. very few as you can see in the charts and scotland once again could see one or two of those showers and storms pop up. but for most we go into the evening dry, staying very pleasant in the sunny spells. through tonight, a few changes. notice the direction of the cloud movements. it is going north to south, an indication of something cooler on the way. if you are in the cloud breaks, particularly across scotland northern ireland and north west england, temperatures will drop down into single figures. most in double figures to start tuesday though, but a lot more cloud around. central, eastern england in particular will be a grey, cooler day compared to today. one or two isolated showers cannot be ruled out. sunny spells though out into the west, northern england, through scotland and northern ireland. but temperatures down at levels where they should probably be at this time of year — high teens, low 20s rather than pushing towards the mid—20s. so a cooler day but most places will be dry. we will have seen the back of the thunderstorms and certainly none around on wednesday. a ridge of high pressure in place ahead of changes to the west later on. so that does mean we are back to some good, sunny spells across many areas on wednesday. an isolated shower in the south cannot be ruled out. many places though will be dry until late in the day. now temperatures again high teens, low 20s, may be feeling a touch warmer across southern areas compared with tuesday. but we finish the day out with rain spreading into the west of scotland, northern ireland. some heavy rain through the night to take us into thursday morning rush hour and the winds will strengthen. we could see widespread gales, maybe even severe gale force winds as well. hello, you're watching afternoon live. i'm simon mccoy. today at 3... i've got a good feeling — donald trump says there's excitement in the air a day before he meets north korean leader kimjong—un. i got grenfell wrong — theresa may apologises for her initial response to the blaze and says she regrets not meeting the survivors. a man's been found guilty, and jailed for 16 years for abducting the british model chloe ayling in italy last summer. coming up on afternoon live, all the sport... hello, after an historic first win over england the scotland head coach says his aim now is to secure test match status. we will talk in half an hour. thank you. that get the weather forecast. a lovely afternoon for many, one or two storms but we on the road because the wettest and windiest weather we have had for a number of weeks for some. i will tell you more in half an hour. hello, everyone, this is afternoon live. i'm simon mccoy. president trump says there is "excitement in the air" in singapore, where there's intense diplomatic activity taking place ahead of the highly—anticipated meeting with kim jong—un tomorrow morning. the us secretary of state, mike pompeo, says the summit has enormous potential, but he's warned that president trump is determined to avoid what he called the "flimsy agreements" of the past. america, he said, would be satisfied with nothing less than the complete, verifiable and irreversible denuclearization of the korean peninsula. first, we are going to singapore where my colleague christian fraser has the latest. good evening. it isjust after 10pm local time here in singapore and we are now local time here in singapore and we a re now less local time here in singapore and we are now less than 12 hours away from the sun when the 33—year—old north korean leader, kim jong—un, the sun when the 33—year—old north korean leader, kimjong—un, will sit down the first out with a sitting us president, donald trump, a man twice his age and it is worth remembering what has happened in the last few months because since he became leader, kim has been so isolated in his country, they might be a nuclear power but only in the last three months has he been fated bites of the world's superpowers and he is taking full opportunity —— by some of them. it is the furthest he has travelled from his home to look around downtown singapore. i can show you the landmarks here. this is the marina bay sands which looks like a ship. that is one of the big resorts, an iconic landmark on the singapore skyline and just beneath it you will see what looks like a big baseball glove which is the arts and science museum. just behind that is the waterfront gardens where tim joe dunne has been taking a little tour this evening. let's show you those pictures. you will see that the convoy has been going through downtown singapore. he got out and this was him with his entourage and very tight security going through the waterfront gardens. we don't know where he is going or what he is seeing but clearly a young man who wa nts to ta ke seeing but clearly a young man who wants to take advantage of the moment. it is all propaganda that is being fed back to people in north korea. their leader is being fated by the international community and i suppose there is a curious interest from him as to the city he is in. kim jong—un taking advantage tonight. we have had some reports in the south korean press that he will not be here long and maybe he will leave at 2pm tomorrow afternoon which would mean he is only in the summitfor which would mean he is only in the summit for five hours. we which would mean he is only in the summit forfive hours. we have with the two sides coming together, north korea and the united states meeting ata korea and the united states meeting at a lower level. donald trump has also met the singaporean prime minister and laura bicker has watched things unfold. excitement is in the air according to president trump. sharing a warm handshake with the singapore hosts, no sign of a last—minute scramble for eight summit deal. there was even a premature celebration of another important date this week. mr trump's birthday is on thursday and he is starting early. butjust a few miles away, 11th hour negotiations we re miles away, 11th hour negotiations were still under way with the foreign ministerfrom were still under way with the foreign minister from pyongyang. these officials from the us and north korea are trying to finalise a dealfor the leaders north korea are trying to finalise a deal for the leaders tomorrow. it is not how summit normally work. normally these kind of things are already down on paper but this is shaping up to be an unconventional summit between two or unconventional leaders. the us secretary of state said this was not a concern and the goal of completely disarming north korea remains. president trump is going win with positive attitude and eagerness for real progress and he has made it clear that if came to an denuclearises there is a brighter future for north korea. that if kim jong—un. tomorrow we will get out clearest indication about whether he shares this vision. we have a good chance of having a good start and a basic agreement of sorts. maybe not all problems getting sorted tomorrow but i am cautiously optimistic that we will get some kind of agreement tomorrow. in pyongyang, the north korean people have finally been told the summit is happening, a special broadcast by the famous ri chun—hee inform them that kim was abroad and there was also a clear shift in tone. state media discussed developing a new relationship with the united states, a hint of a new era of engagement. kim jong—un's only appearance was yesterday. he will feel he has come to singapore ina will feel he has come to singapore in a position of strength as a nuclear power but he may be willing to bargain, according to those who have met both men. both are supremely confident, both are hopeful. i think at an emotional level both of them want something significant out of this summit. the sweeping sands now await the leaders. once associated with pirates, death and bloodshed, this result has been rebranded as a tranquil haven. how it is described in the future could depend on what happens here in the next 24 hours. the sentosa island is an ideal location for the resort, with only one road in, and the hotel as you saw in the pictures is very much isolated on a hill, surrounded by vegetation. very suitable for keeping out any prying eyes. let's look at those pictures on the waterfront. we have pictures of the building that kim jong—un waterfront. we have pictures of the building that kimjong—un is currently having a look around. no sign of it yet but we can see the security and when he reappears we will bring you those live pictures but we can do across to the outside of the hotel ofjim devine. and i understand there is a presidential suite which would cost a cool $10,000 a night —— be hotel of kim jong—un. apparently he has brought his own food in refrigerated trucks his own food in refrigerated trucks his own food in refrigerated trucks his own chef and even his own loo! indeed! he did spend quite a lot of time at the hotel but about an hour ago he decided to go outside and as we have been a speculative where he might be going, possibly the marina bay sands, and 20 minutes ago the foreign minister of singapore tweeted a selfie of himself, kim jin—sun and the singapore education minister. we all got a bit excited -- kim minister. we all got a bit excited —— kim jong—hyon. it minister. we all got a bit excited —— kimjong—hyon. it might be the first selfie that kim has taken part in. it shows that the tour is continuing even if we are all standing by waiting for him to come back to the hotel. that was the singapore foreign minister who told us in an exclusive interview that singapore is footing the bill at the hotel with the cost at thousands of dollars a night. but i guess they have decided it is worth the investment. it is quite an exposure and promotion of singapore as well. they are broadcasting all of the pictures of singapore as well but kim jong—un has pictures of singapore as well but kimjong—un has an pictures of singapore as well but kim jong—un has an early start tomorrow to meet with president trump at 9am local time. when he comes back we will make sure to get that for you. he doesn't want to be late! a big day tomorrow. thank you very much. as you saw in the report from laura, mike pompeo has been giving a briefing laying out some of the demands of the american side he is making, albeit the president is optimistic. they say they will continue to be as robust as they have been thus far with the need for verification of the north korean nuclear programme also and without even concrete measures from the north korean side we are not going to be easing, he says, the maximum pressure. jim walsh is the senior research associate at the massachusetts institute of technology ‘s security studies programme and one of the handful of americans travel to iran and north korea for talks about nuclear issues and he is well versed in some of the technical issues discussed here in singapore. good to see you. do you getan singapore. good to see you. do you get an impression listening to the preamble that they have closed the gap on what denuclearisation means? they have closed some gap, that is clear because the late—night statement put out by the white house, and i was rather surprised by it, it said things were going so well that they thought they would be able to wrap up a day early. and sometimes when you leave early that isa sometimes when you leave early that is a bad sign but they seem to be saying that things had gone so swimmingly that they did not need any more time. if you put that together with all the other state m e nts together with all the other statements by the other players, it is all pointed in a positive direction and it seems to me that before this summit that the two parties were motivated, both wanting this meeting to go well for their own reasons. with that political will i think they can do that. we arejust seeing will i think they can do that. we are just seeing the north will i think they can do that. we arejust seeing the north korean leader leaving the waterfront gardens. we don't know where he is headed next, maybe back to his hotel. it is all a bit hurried with the pack following in hot pursuit. you can see in the foyer of the hotel, the north korean delegation leaving. in the context of what you have seen in your lifetime, you are an expert on iran and north korea, if the work to get anything a brochure the iran deal which donald trump has walked away from, anything near that, that would be a huge success ? near that, that would be a huge success? —— anything approaching the iran deal. it would be huge because the irony here, as your question correctly implied, thejcp la, the iran nuclear deal, had the strongest and most intrusive verification measures of any agreement in the history of the nuclear age and this was a long way up there in terms of verification. the president tore it up verification. the president tore it up and tossed it out. now as you bring the question of verification to north korea, in principle it will be much more difficult, just the physicalfact, a be much more difficult, just the physical fact, a mountainous country, a lot of places to hide uranium and plutonium, it already had nuclear weapons. that was not the case for iran. the whole idea of knowing about every nook and cranny and taking an existing bomb programme apart is far more challenging than in the case of iran. and frankly, people talk, secretary mike pompeo has said this weird word, complete verifiable and irreversible denuclearisation it was originally a concept invented in the 19905 and it does not hold up that well in 2018. and particularly irreversibility. north korea has built a nuclear weapon, they are more like south africa than libya, they have crossed the threshold and it is tough to be a virgin twice! having crossed that threshold, if they put their mind to it and if they put their mind to it and if they needed to, they would be able to do it in the future. i don't know is irreversibility makes a lot of sense any more given all of the nuclear tests we have had. jim walsh, thank you for your perspective. we can talk about that. in case you are not familiar with it, this is what we are talking about, complete verifiable and irreversible denuclearisation. with me is professor robert kelley. let's talk about the technical nitty—gritty. each of these letters, talking about complete. what do they have? a fusion bomb? atom bomb? thermonuclear? can it be fitted to a long intercontinental ballistic missile? the primary answer is we don't know, the north koreans don't tell as anything! if donald trump can get that information tomorrow, evenif can get that information tomorrow, even if not the stuff giving up, even if not the stuff giving up, even the shape of the programme and what they have done if they have made the step from a fishing weapon thatis made the step from a fishing weapon that is less powerful than a fusion weapon —— fission weapon. there is concern that they make that step but if we got that information would be a big step forward, and then it is how much they have, probably a lot. the programme is pretty mature and it will take a lot to get that out of the country. they will ask for a lot to remove it. it is much further iran advanced than it iran or libya. what are we talking about as far as size is concerned ? what are we talking about as far as size is concerned? i have heard estimates of 300 kilograms which would be 20 times the size of hiroshima. it is a sizeable bomb. it would easily take out a city. if we don't know what they have when it comes to verifiable, and we don't know where it is, how do we go about it? this is the next big thing. if c is what they have, what they got, then when we want to remove it, who is going to make sure it is being done? the americans are not going to trust the north koreans to do it on their own, the north koreans might wa nt their own, the north koreans might want somebody to sympathetic. the south koreans might go for it because mood is more liberal also it could mean the iaea or a western small state like norway or something ora small state like norway or something or a smaller nuclear power like france. but that will be a big sticking point. irreversible. is blowing up the tunnels whether carried out the tests is that irreversible? you could dig up the entrance again. one of the big issues with that is notjust the infrastructure of the human capital. they have a lot of people who can build these things and what i going to do? take them out? send them to south korea or the united states? that's why it's such a big deal. america are talking like it'sjust happen but this is a long process. and the final one, the neutralisation is itjust weapons or civilian programme? the uranium mines? the minimal interpretation would be the weapons themselves but they have also talked about chemical and biological which we have not discussed. and beyond that, if we let them keep the civilian programme, it could bleed back into a weapons programme in the future which raises irreversibility also it isa which raises irreversibility also it is a tangle. interesting. can you do it in five hours? no! there is a lot to do and it will take some time for them to work their way through it. the americans had taken a maximalist approach, does it work for north korea? we will find out tomorrow. back to you. you can get more on this historic summit on our website. we'll have all the latest background and analysis. that's all at bbc.co.uk/news. jaguar land rover says it will move production of its land rover discovery suv from birmingham to slovakia from next year. the solihull factory, where the discovery is manufactured, will be used to build a new generation of electric land rover models, the firm said. what is the announcement? the first pa rt what is the announcement? the first part of this is that they will move the manufacturer of the discovery model in its entirety to slovakia. they make about 40—50,000 of these each year and a couple of years ago they said they would run it in tandem, some in slovakia and some in solihull and now they think it will all go to slovakia which looks worrying. they save several hundred agencyjobs might worrying. they save several hundred agency jobs might be worrying. they save several hundred agencyjobs might be affected but it is too early to say how many possible use a agency, or does that mean? those workers come in and out as production ramps up and down and it is quite common indycar manufacturing industry also if you are selling a large number of cars —— in the car manufacturing industry. bear in mind that they announced a couple months ago they we re announced a couple months ago they were going to lay off a thousand agency workers so any additionaljob cuts are on top of that. that is the first part which does not look great. having said that, what jaguar land rover are saying is that we should think of it as clearing the way of an older model, the discovery come to retool the solihull plant, in order to make new range rover and range rover sport cars which will have hybrid electric powertrain is also in many ways you could say that these are the vehicles of the future and it represents a big investment in the plant. having said that, their language is saying, the losses of the agency staff is tough but forms part of their long—term manufacturing strategy as they transform the business globally and thatis transform the business globally and that is quite important because it means that rubber band it being this west midlands —based champion british engineering, it is now a truly global business and it means that sometimes they can move the pieces on the chessboard as their business needs change. that is what we're looking at. and the production lines are getting more modern and robotic fewer people as well.“ lines are getting more modern and robotic fewer people as well. if you we re robotic fewer people as well. if you were to ask the business secretary, andi were to ask the business secretary, and i called him to ask if it was good or bad news, he would say that what the uk has been tried to do is make it is the best raqqa centre of excellence for things like battery technology and modern manufacturing and that this, although it is a shame we are losing some staff in the interim, they will ramp up and employ more people went this new line is going —— make the uk eight centre of excellence. interesting given we don't know where the brexit trade deals are going, there are going to be part going to and fro to slovakia. the in the industry is super—sensitive to the negotiations about the customs union, the border, delivery, the uk has done quite a good job of making itself a centre for suppliers around battery technology. having said that, there will be millions of components going back and forth from the eu to the uk so you could say this was a vote of confidence on the part ofjaguar land rover that somehow those parts will get through. money will talk. thank you very much. theresa may has apologised for her initial response after the grenfell tower fire, saying she regrets not going to meet the survivors and residents in the immediate aftermath of the disaster. ahead of the first anniversary of the fire on thursday, the prime minister said she would "always regret" not meeting victims and she said it had given the impression that she did not care about them. ben wright has been telling me why she is making these comments now. clearly it is to address an issue that a year ago was causing her huge political damage, her response to the immediate aftermath of the g re nfell the immediate aftermath of the grenfell fire. she was seen to be pretty flat—footed, do not have realised not only the desperate human dimension to this story but the political dimension to the fire as well. i don't think number ten saw how much political anger was being unleashed as a result of what happened and that was evident in the fa ct happened and that was evident in the fact that theresa may did not come on herfirst visit, meet fact that theresa may did not come on her first visit, meet people who had been directly affected by the fire. other politicians did, jeremy corbyn, sadiq khan, the monarchy did, the queen met survivors of the fire before theresa may and she faced a lot of criticism at the time about her initial reaction. she has felt and number ten have felt that it was something to revisit as we get close to the first year anniversary on thursday because i think personally that she remains very affected by this and it causes her some anguish when she reflects on her initial response and what it said about both her own reaction and the government's. a difficult week for her, that is an understatement, because tomorrow is the focus will because tomorrow is the focus will be the house of commons for those crucial brexit debates and votes. yet another crucial week for brexit but it is important that this is the eu withdrawal bill coming back to the house of commons after it had been ripped to pieces by the house of lords who passed 15 amendments which will now be considered by mps. the government had accepted one of them that pretty much state the eu and uk should remain close when it comes to working with some agencies but on others the government wants to oppose the amendment and others they are looking to amend them. one of those relates to the final vote mps will get in october when the brexit deal comes back for their approval or not. this is the so—called meaningful vote amendment. mps are going to be asked whether or not at that point if parliament rejects the deal on offer, mps should have the power to instruct ministers to perhaps go back to brussels and carry on negotiating. the government is horrified by this prospect and so are many brexiteers who are put down their own moment that promises ministers will return within 28 days and produce a statement to parliament saying what will happen next but they hope that will happen next but they hope that will contain any potential tory rebellion tomorrow. we will see, it is one of the handful of flash points where the votes could be very tight and points where the votes could be very tightandi points where the votes could be very tight and i think the government will be anxious about getting through the next two or three days without suffering a parliamentary defeat. a court in italy has found a man guilty of abducting a british model chloe ayling. lucasz herba was accused of luring the 20—year—old from south london to milan with the promise of a photoshoot, and then kidnapping her for a ransom. he has received a 16—year and nine—month sentence. james reynolds reports in july 2017, chloe ayling came to milan. she says she had received an offer of modelling work. she told the police that she went to an office to discuss the shoot. there she says that lucasz herba from poland overpowered her, drugged her, and took her away. for the next six days she says that she was his captive. lucasz herba took chloe ayling to a room at a farmhouse which she later revisited with the italian police. —— a remote farmhouse. italian prosecutors say that mr herba initially threatened to sell the 20—year—old on the so—called dark web. cctv pictures captured the two walking together. lucasz herba even accompanied chloe ayling to the british consulate in milan to hand her over to the british authorities. but in court mr herba insisted that the entire abduction was staged. he testified that the model worked with him to fake her own abduction. chloe ayling denied this. she said that she tried to get along with her abductor simply in order to stay alive. the court has now ruled. our correspondent chia farmhouse just outside milan for about six days and the kidnapper eventually took her to the british consulate where he dropped her off and that was when the alarm was raised and she was saved. and what was heard in court about what he did? what he was convicted of. he was convicted effectively of snatching her and drugging her because he drugged her with what we believe was ketamine, the drug ketamine, and then put her in the boot of his car to travel to the farmhouse just outside milan for about five hours. her lawyer said she was terrified and absolutely scared and she could have died in those five hours. the prosecution also reminded the court that herba himself had said that originally he was an fbi operative and a high—level hit man, when in fact what he had done was constructed a letter by a group that operate on the dark web called the black death and had sent out ransom notes to her agents in the uk. has there been any reaction from chloe ayling and do we know what she's goi

to explain more, our correspondent chi chi izundu joins me now. talk us through these statistics.s the first time the office for national statistics has looked at it. but they have focused solely on higher education, rather than further education. they looked into the coroner ‘s report and inquest reports, and the verdicts given at those, plus what the occupation was put on death certificates. then worked in conjunction with the higher education statistics agency, who asked universities specifically to correlate these figures. and they have found that in fact over all the figures are low, but over the last ten yea rs figures are low, but over the last ten years they are creeping up ever so slowly. broadly, there have been warnings about the mental health pressures on students. some saying it ranks above even the financial concerns and, it ranks above even the financial concerns and , you it ranks above even the financial concerns and, you know, it isjust one of those big issues that everybody needs to get to grips with. indeed. we've been speaking to many university students who h

our reporter, chi chi izundu, has been covering the issue of student suicides for some time, she's beenf student suicides for england and wales is lower than what was expected. in the year ending july 2017 there were 95 student suicides. it is creeping up slightly over a 10—year period but it is still overall pretty low figures. in terms of universities being set up to help their students with mental health issues, are enough of them doing enough? a lot of the universities would say they are doing and. we spent time at different universities like birmingham, they have things like birmingham, they have things like open areas to talk to other peers so students don't feel like they have to go into a clinical setting or have to wait for some professional nhs mental health help which have long waiting lists will stop they also use things like therapy dogs to help people open up. they are trying to get sports clubs to be more inclusive, to get people to be more inclusive, to get people to open up. they are trying to use a myriad of different efforts to get people to talk, that is the main pro
