yeah, i am sure there is going to be some sort of comment by mrtrump, there is going to be some sortis always commenting on economic results, especially those that are positive, highlighting that they are a sign of the success of his policies. of course, we also have to keep in mind the gdp figures refer to the past quarter. the number of us —— a number of us companies have in this week and last week highlighted concerns about tariffs and cut their outlook for future quarters. i guess we will see how much of that shows up we will see how much of that shows up in the numbers for next quarter. sort of a china element, —— stay in with a china element, chinese demand for luxury brands is apparently helping the french benchmark index to become the best performer of the various european markets. also, they are attributing it to france being somewhat insulated, or perhaps not as exposed, to the trade tensions as perhaps say the german dat. as exposed, to the trade tensions as perhaps say the german datw as exposed, to the trade tensions as perhaps say the german dat. it is interesting. in t

this conversation between mr cullen and mr trump, the government of the subject of financing and mrtrump trump can be heard saying on the tape, what financing? he says, we will have to pay. he says no, that seems to be the heart of the marcus fysh the tape is concerned. pulling apart those words, to see exactly what the meaning was. one implication being a payment by cheque would be more traceable as opposed to a cash payment. has there been any response oi’ payment. has there been any response or reaction to this from the white house or indeed president trump's own personal lawyer? yes, there has. from rudy giuliani, this is no payment was ever made. he says the precise words during this conversation show that no crime was committed, that there is no evidence in this conversation of any wrongdoing. thank you very much. stay with us on bbc news. still to come: the artworks banned by facebook. belgian museums to mind a rethink on the social network's nudity policy. ok, coming down the ladder now. that's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. a catastrophic engine fire is bein

the porn star stormy daniels says she had an affairwith mrtrump.is not true, but he paid her $130,000 to stay quiet. we have spoken to another adult movie actress, who says she was there when the president first met stormy. his bodyguard had said, can i get your number? that was the first time stormy ever met him as well. that is also the same evening that we all ended up in his room together for the first time. jessica drake says donald trump came on to her as well that night. when we first entered the room he grabbed me in more of a forceful way and he kissed me on the lips. it was almost like a pounce. it didn't feel good to me. it didn't feel consensual to me. jessica drake says mr trump wouldn't take no for an answer. he even offered to pay her. he offered me money to go to his hotel room. he went up to $10,000. donald trump denies the claims. but over the years he has played a up his image as an outrageous womaniser. lady di was a woman of great beauty. would you have slept with her? without hesitation. the national enquirer did a story on me

"nato numbers don't add up for us tax payers," he fumed. he is not wrong, in terms of domestic military spending. president trump

mrtrump appeared to side with russia against his own security services, saying he had no reason to disbelieve mr putin's denial that moscow interfered in the 2016 presidential election. that's prompted alarm in washington, even among republicans. our north america editor jon sopel begins our coverage of the meeting from helsinki. as befitting two self—proclaimed strongmen, there was a power—play from the off. vladimir putin arriving almost rudely late into finland... it was a bit late... ..leaving donald trump kicking his heels for nearly an hour. but then, against the constant whirr of camera shutters, they sat down at the presidential palace in helsinki to start their discussion. i think we have great opportunities together, as two countries that, frankly, we have not been getting along very well for the last number of years. i've been here not too long. and i really think the world wants to see us get along, we are the two great nuclear powers, we have 90% of the nuclear — and that's not a good thing, it's a bad thing. and i think we hopefully can do something about that. translation: the

there is a crisis not because of us but because of mrtrump.ot stop to work closely with the united states because he does not alone represent the united states. it is clear that we need to meet our interest in defence, we need to work faster on our own trade agreements as we have done with japan and other countries and this means that new alliances in trade matters and so on in order to be fit for the future, but please try to keep the collective security agreements of nato so long it is as possible, despite now feeling that there is no total could ability in that any more. elmar brok, we have to end it there. thanks for being on hardtalk. thank you very much. a few lucky gardens got rain on monday and tuesday. wednesday is looking like being a largely dry ones to be once again we will see a few showers across northern and southern scotland and maybe a few more across the west but the vast majority is bright, a bit warmer as well, 26 in the south—east. thursday, another largely dry day by the odd shower, starting to see cloud and breezed acros

mrtrump, even, this evening published a picture this evening of him getting a kiss from mrjuncker insides he was talking to him. he has talked in the terms of donald trump, that the eu, as represented byjuncker, and the us as represented by him are in love. i'm not sure this goes as far as a love—in. when you have a look at what has been, it looks like more of a ceasefire rather than the end of a trade war. we did not really have the hostility that we were expecting to come with this trade war and they have pulled back from the brink before that becomes the case. what we see here are a number of things that the eu believe they have won, specifically the idea that while negotiations try to get a deal, they will not have car tariffs being increased in the us, the eu are now talking about purchasing soy beans and energy from the us. these are things that they can work together on. i put it to juncker specifically that this is, really, not a deal to the start of negotiations and he said that was both fair and unfair to say. fair in that ultimately this is not a final agreement on solving all

this apparent relationship reset with the european union and movement by mrtrump on with the europeanink there is lot of scepticism still among the allies of the president in the united states, who are very much against his trade policies, against many of these protectionist tariffs that he has imposed and they are breeding some sigh of relief today. i think we are seeing some leaders in europe in the same position. but it doesn't change the reality that this president has pushed for months and we would expect him to continue to push for many of the steep tariffs not only involving europe, but china, canada, mexico, any of the top trading partners that the us has had the decades. while this is, in their view, an optimistic statement today coming out of the white house, there is still a deep scepticism that trump will change his view overall on trade. so you think he will stick with protectionism, even if he has backed off for today? a lot of what he has done in terms of trade negotiations, we have seen a few times now where he will go soft on trade appearances before going very hard.

i suppose it has to be said mrtrump and statement.r trump and his communications team, their whole relationship with the media is incredibly confrontational as we have seen in the last few weeks alone, let alone yea rs. the last few weeks alone, let alone years. it is very confrontational language continuing to be used. president trump has been tweeting since the statement from the new york times and in it he particularly singles out that labour and the washington post for criticism. —— that paper. he says 90% of what is published in the papers is negative this i does what being achieved by his administration and he says the freedom of the press comes with the responsibility to report the press accurately. i have to say when you read all this it does come down to the idea that you have this real divide between president trump and much of the media. but even that which he refers to the failing new york times, you get the feeling the name—calling is not going to stop any time soon. i doubt it. thank you very much, chris buckler in washi

international trade secretary, liam fox, has described those who've turned out to demonstrate against mrtrumps an "embarrassment to themselves". but scotland's first minister, nicola sturgeon, publicly criticised the president's policies — on climate change, minorities and the treatment of women. from mr trump's turnberry resort, lorna gordon reports. this has been described as a private visit to scotland, but president trump is not publicity shy. making his way around the turnberry fairways, acknowledging the waiting media and protesters. booing donald trump the businessman owns two golf courses in scotland. donald trump the president calls his ayrshire resort "magical". president trump has described his trip to turnberry as two days of meetings, calls, and hopefully some golf. he has managed to play a round, but it's not been entirely relaxing — protesters getting close to the course. demonstrations too in scotland's capital, where many thousands took to the streets of edinburgh. we don't agree, like he doesn't have a special relationship with the british people, and we just need to exercis

the problem is, mrtrump is commander—in—chief and president of the united states. that is true.the damage down. the us is a democracy, that is the difference to china and russia, but we see at the same time trump uses every ally like a vessel — he does not take them seriously, he does not take them as partners. therefore, mr trump is helpful to bring the european union closer together and now you have trade agreements with japan and others coming soon shows that we are prepared for the situation. 0k. i used the word complacency and that is because donald trump delivered some pretty harsh home truths — not least to germany — i will quote you some of his words about germany. "as far as i am concerned," he said, "germany is a captive of russia. it's getting so much of its energy from russia and we are supposed to protect germany when they get their energy from russia? explain that to me, it cannot be explained." donald trump actually is exposing a hypocrisy in germany today, isn't he? no. first of all, i do not know after the helsinki meeting who is captain of putin — trump or germ

what mrtrump did or why it wouldn't be russia. others and to betray the american public and that is why i used the term that this is nothing short of treasonous. former intelligence chiefs, political opponents and even several senior members of donald trump's republican party lined up to criticise the president and question his claim that it president and question his claim thatitis president and question his claim that it is better to forget the past when there are real present—day concerns about russian activities.” understand the desire and the need to have good relations. that is perfectly reasonable. but russia is a menacing government that does not share our interests, it is much our values and that has to be made very clear. so should president trump be rebuked? that was a question he did not and such. republicans were embarrassed by the stark contrast of annan battled trump compared to the —— who appeared all too cosy with the old enemy and sided with vladimir putin over america's own intelligence agencies. head took a sho

deal with them, i think so serious is the charge she will have no option but to perhaps even give mrtrumpen give mr trump her death stare. the brexit secretary has been outlining the government's plans in the chamber behind you. and the plans contain vast amounts of detail but in essence they are a sort of compromise brexit package, what is viewed as a sort of pragmatic response where there is something for the eu, we stick to their rule book, collect tariffs, avoiding friction in trade, there is something for northern ireland, we avoid a border and crucially there is something for those who voted for brexit because we stick to those red lines. the difficulty with compromise packages is you often end up compromise packages is you often end up satisfying nobody and already there are clear signs that tory brexiteers are on the warpath because they view this package is keeping us too close to brussels. the remainer is in the labour party are not happy because they say it is are not happy because they say it is a hard brexit for services because there is no deal there, and europe too will arg

earlier, mrtrump had the summit with president putin in helsinki., mr trump had said that was an interesting idea. in an interview with the american network, cnbc, mr trump rejected the idea that he has failed to stand up to president putin. look at the sanctions i've put on, look at the diplomats i threw out, look at all of the things that i've done. nobody else has done what i've done. 0bama didn't do it. 0bama was a total patsy for russia. look at the statement he made, when he thought the mics were turned were turned off, 0k? the stupid statement, nobody cares about that. getting along with president putin, along with russia is a positive, not a negative. now with that being said, if that doesn't work out, i'll be the worst enemy he's ever had! 0ur correspondent in washington, chris buckler, says the invitation came quickly. it does seem bizarre and quite remarkable to some of donald trump's political opponents and also some within his own republican party that he is rolling out the red carpet to vladimir putin so soon after that helsinki summit

i think really lost their message in the vulgar way in which they communicated their disdain the mrtrumpere were lots of people, we are showing photos now, they marched peacefully on the street. what about them ? marched peacefully on the street. what about them? that is where i am coming from. imagine if theresa may came to washington, dc and you have thousands of people in the streets with a baby may that had been strung up with a baby may that had been strung up either congress building and a lot of folks back here in the uk would say what is wrong with those americans. so there are many people back home i have spoken to who are saying why other people in the united kingdom treating a presidents odis united kingdom treating a presidents 0dis respectfully? united kingdom treating a presidents odis respectfully? well, would you think of the language that mr trump has used before, some of it inflammatory, also again as you pointed out a lack of respect perhaps, calling the ex— foreign secretary someone who would be a brilliant prime minister, saying that theresa may, our prime minister,

acknowledging their presence and this has been one of the few times on this visit to the uk that mrtrumpad times on this visit to the uk that mr trump has had to come face with protesters. remember when he was in england he went to the palace and visited the queen at windsor castle, he visited the prime minister at her country retreat, but he did not go into central london so he did not meet the thousands of protesters who turned out yesterday. he did they'll meet some of those from a distance by his turnberry golf course and yesterday when i was standing in this spot a protester with a motorized paraglider went over our heads and headed towards turnberry hotel where the president saw that protester a nd hotel where the president saw that protester and his anti—trump signed from a few metres a while. let's bring ourselves with talib at today with all the posttest we have been seeing in scotland. here is quick enough. —— here is katrina. protesters are calling to be a festival of resistance and national demonstration. here in edinburgh more than 10,000 people are expected to gather on his

sentence should have been, "i don't see any reason why i wouldn't", or "why it wouldn't be russia" what mrtrumpbetray the women and men of the fbi, the cia, nsa and others. former intelligence chiefs, political opponents and even several senior members of his own republican party had lined up to criticise the president. i understand the desire and the need to have good relations, that's perfectly reasonable, but russia is a menacing government that does not share our interests or our values. and i think that should be made clear. so should president trump be rebuked? i just... that was a question he didn't answer. germany is a captive of russia... but republicans were embarrassed by the stark contrast of the combative trump who angrily challenged old allies at the nato summit, compared to the president who appeared all too cosy with the old enemy and sided with vladimir putin over america's own intelligence agencies. chris buckler, bbc news, washington. a high courtjudge will rule this morning in the case brought by sir cliff richard against the bbc for breach of privacy following coverage of a

he showed me that mrtrump that he knew were coming. the likes of vladimir putin to push pass all—round —— push us putin to push pass all—round —— push us around. very interesting to see that. let's discuss this with michael hopkins, an expert in american foreign policy at liverpool university. it is very interesting to look at some of the words, weak, has he caved in, unpatriotic. how has this gone for president trump?|j caved in, unpatriotic. how has this gone for president trump? i don't think trump sees it that way. he approaches things like a businessman, one—on—one, personal relationship. an public he speaks positively about anybody he has a meeting with. he spoke positively about president xi in china and kim jong—unin about president xi in china and kim jong—un in korea. but afterwards what often happens is tart negotiations take place. so i don't think he sees it in quite that way, although the big issue is the issue of the intelligence and we can talk about that in a moment if you wish —— tough negotiations. about that in a mo

yeah, i did hear these rumours that we allegedly collected compromising material on mrtrump when he collectedin moscow. let's take the saint petersburg economic forum, for instance. there we re economic forum, for instance. there were more than 500 american businessmen, high—ranking ones, and i don't remember the last games of each and every one of them. do you think we try to collect tom pernice in material on each and every one of them? —— the last names. it's difficult to imagine an utter nonsense on a bigger scale and this. don't think about these accusations any more again. i have to say, if they had it, it would have been out long ago. if anybody watched the testifying over the last couple of days, i was in brussels watching it, it was a disgrace to the fbi. it was a disgrace to our country, and you would say it was a total witchhunt. thank you very much, everybody. thank you very much, everybody. thank you. studio: there we are, president putin and president trump leaving the podium after a long day together. more than 90 minutes, meeting one on one, and then meeting with their two tea

during the conversations between mr cohen and mrtrump, during the conversations between mr cohen and rudy giuliani, mr trump's now personal lawyer, has said there is nothing in the conversations, and he impact himself has released a transcript of it. he says there is nothing in this conversation that shows any wrong doing, that nothing illegal happened. peter bowes reporting. it's been nearly four months since protests broke out along israel's border with the gaza strip. since they began — dozens of palestinians have been shot dead by israeli soldiers. thousands more have been wounded. but behind the dramatic scenes, health workers are worried about something much more long term — the deteriorating mental health of gaza's nearly two million people. our diplomatic correspondent — paul adams — reports. on the busy streets of gaza, a man sets fire to himself. the flames are doused, the man is bundled into a taxi. he makes it to hospital but dies two days later. what drove musical, newly—married fathi harb to take his own life? the baby, sleeping in his grandmother's arms, is fathi's own

and to be fair it is largely due to mrtrump. for and to be fair it is largely due to mr trump.ost going behind the economy. the other side of this particular set of figures are largely to do with steel tariffs, the tariffs that have been imposed in china, which is a lot of exporters. and a lot of this growth comes from exporters, and these exporters are racing to get their exports out of china before the ta riffs exports out of china before the tariffs came in. you hear stories of ships and boats leaving the states and racing to try to get there before the date when a chinese imposed tariffs. some made it and some didn't, some were turned away at the last minute because they didn't make it. the president says they are tremendous and amazing figures. and because so much of it depends on the imposition of those tariffs, once we look at the next lot of figures, we are likely to see a sharp downturn. this is all about putting america first, as we have heard again and again. he was talking about the growth in business investment, the other interesting figure he certainly will not ha
