a city where catholicism has deep roots, and where the church has had a city where catholicism has deepchurch has had a commanding influence, and helped to ensure the total ban on abortion. a ban that has criminalised women like theodora vazquez. she went into labour alone at work and called an ambulance, which never came. theodora says she fainted during the birth, and came to surrounded by police, accusing her of killing her baby. last year, her 30—year sentence was commuted and she walked free, to be reunited with herfamily after a decade behind bars. human rights groups says she is one of many women who lost their babies and were jailed for killing them. theodora was already a devoted mother when she was convicted. her son, angel gabriel, now 15, was just four years old when they were parted. do you feel like you missed out on a lot of his life, on a lot of your son's life? theodora says she was jailed for a crime she did not commit, by a society where men still have the upper hand. some women and girls here do seek terminations, but the process has been driven underground. this doc

he has tweeted about prescription drug prices, he has tweeted about the man who like to call sleepyjoehole affair, he has said nothing so far, at least, and the key to all this of course is what was going to be donald trump's reaction, this must be excruciating for the people in the british embassy building not far from us here, they must be on tenterhooks, wanting to get some indication as to his reaction. of course, we all want to know what this could mean for the special relationship and, indeed, what could it mean for a bilateral trade deal between the uk and the united states 7 a lot of unanswered questions at the moment but you can bet your bottom dollar that, at some stage, donald trump will have something to say about this. and we knew he is a president who doesn't take well personal criticism. it is going to be very difficult to try to smooth over this. i think it is, yes and, you know, particularly when you have a statement from the foreign & commonwealth office which basically stands the story in the daily mail up and goes on to say, well, this might not necessarily represen

tarrant has appeared in court and has denied the charges.o dozens of countries, particularly in europe. one of the places brenton tarrant came to was austria, and his extensive travel and his online activity shows just how international and interconnected the far right has become. he also made a significant financial donation to one of the leading figures in the new far—right here in vienna. martin sellner is a far—right activist who claims white europeans are at risk of what he calls "replacement". that, too, was brenton tarrant‘s belief. sellner insists he does not support violence, but he's unapologetic about receiving support from someone who killed. i don't think that this donation means that i in any way share his ideology, and i don't even think that it means that he shared our ideology or supported... but he clearly did, if he supported you. that's the question. sellner uses social media to spread his message. that's where brenton tarra nt encountered him. the alternative media is basically our liberation, and i think it's completely

he has proven that north korea is a nuclear power. he has the capability.ye recognition that they are nuclear power. when you would be doing is getting rid of the actual capacity. ofremains with the status proving it is a nuclear power, but you get rid of the capacity. in return, he gets the second part of his agenda, which is the into thegrowth back international community, the respect that comes with that. david: what is the role of china in this? for many years we thought china was the way to get leverage over north korea, really the only supplier. are they with us, against us? how do they figure into the national security concerns with north korea? lori: china is very important with north korea. that remains the case. is it the decider? no. theater percent of north korea's trade is with china, on the chinese border. after the collapse of the soviet union, north korea turned to china as its economic lifeline. .o china is very important what is fascinating is we have brought kim jong-un closer to china and xi jinping with our policies, than they have been

mostly south, it has to be said. mostly south, it has to be said.ll the american economy is doing? a very good question. many are asking that question. many are asking that question. the us economy is doing very well, growth is performing well, and unemployment and inflation are low, but the fed sees more problems coming down the tracks from things like trade wars, the worsening global trade picture, so this is kind of an insurance cut, as it were, although lots of questions as to whether president donald trump's twitter interventions... can i use the word twitterventions? twitter interventions was fine. tweets, you could call them. anyway, he has called on the fed to cut rates, in spite of the very well performing economy. of course, the fed is independent. lots will be wondering if that has had something to do with it. i'm sure it has not. let's have a look in more detail. the ftse down by almost two thirds of 1%. it has to be said, that is retreating. many of the gains made on monday, when stirling suffered a big climb. we have talked about briti

it has been a good year so far and it has been appreciating.rest of the year. >> some of the reasons we have given here are quite counterintuitive, aren't they? one of the reasons people are attributing the strength of the rupee is down to the weakness of the economy, and this is an odd one because people are suggesting that the consumer is the reason they are not spending quite as much, which has improved the balance of payments, not in considerably, and that is behind what happened to the rupee. weakness bringing strength, which seems a bit bizarre, doesn't it? >> well, the two main drivers at this point are lower prices between the deficit in india and the portfolio influence that you had around the election victory earlier this year stop i think they have been the biggest drivers of rupee appreciation. you are right in that domestic growth is weak and investment helped,s weak, that has but i think the main driver is the portfolio. likely the growth this year? how far does it slow down? is it cyclical, is it structural? is it a bit of both?

what has he said about that?t of october, he guarantees bill will not head back to the polls before we leave the european union. it is complicated because there is a chance he might be forced into it. if you look at the team he has put in place in number ten, a lot of folk are thinking that it is a war game cabinet ready for a general election. the simple rationale behind those who think we could be heading in that direction is theirs. borisjohnson was to get a new deal with european union, the european union says no, so he says he is ready to leave without a deal, followed behind me tries to block that and if he succeeds, mrjohnson ends up going back to the country. he said that is not what he wants to do, he said today he absolutely won't hold a general election before the 31st of october but we know that things here can move very fast, there are many in westminster that think it could happen. indeed it does. nick, thank you very much. the met office says a new provisional temperature was set. 37.8 celsius. tha

the summer heatwave has broken records across the world, and not even the arctic has escaped the dramaticfires within forests in the arctic circle, including siberia, alaska and greenland. plumes of smoke from the fires can be seen from space. ramzan karmali reports. wildfires are ravaging the egg. this fire in alaska has been burning since the 20th ofjuly. over 2 million acres have been squashed in the state, and areas of north siberia, northern scandinavia and greenland have been engulfed in flames. lightning often triggers fires in the region, but this year they are lasting longer. the temperature was much higher than the average, and also things like the soil moisture in the amount of precipitation is much lower than the average. what this means is it is much drier, much warmer, so when there is ignition, the fire has been able to persist and spread quite quickly, and endure. arctic fires are common between may and october, but higher temperatures, blamed on climate change, have meant the fires this year have been more intense. global satellites are now tracking a swathe of new and on
