this is bbc news. the headlines at 11:00pm: president trump comes to the uk for his first visit since taking office. the president arrived at blenheim palace this evening on the first day of a working visit, having dinner with the prime minister and some of uk's most influential business leaders. outside the palace, hundreds of protestors accuse the president of being a racist and a misogynist. and tonight, donald trump casts doubt on a future trade deal if theresa may sticks with her chequers brexit plan. well, if they do a deal like that, even well, if they do a deal like that, eve n m ost well, if they do a deal like that, even most likely, because we will be dealing with the european union instead of dealing with the uk, so it will probably kill the deal with... if it will probably kill the deal with. .. if they it will probably kill the deal with... if they do that, the trade deal with the us will probably not be made.

injapan, at least 200 people are now reported to have been killed in the worst flooding to affect the country in nearly a0 years. and we speak to a british diver who helped save 12 boys and their football coach from a flooded cave in thailand. president trump has arrived in the uk. it is his first visit here since taking office. stringent security measures are in place, as thousands of people are expected to join demonstrations over the next few days to voice opposition to his policies. it was always expected to be a controversial visit, but within hours of landing, the president criticised theresa may's approach to brexit and warned that the trade agreement she is seeking with the eu will make a deal with america far less likely. the remarks were made in an interview with the sun. mr trump is staying tonight

at the us ambassador‘s residence in london. our north america editor jon sopel reports. all dressed up, and donald trump does have somewhere to go. not a state visit, this is meant to be just a routine work trip for the president, accompanied by first lady melania. well, you could have fooled me. the british are pulling out all the stops. this may be a country in turmoil, as the president remarked, but it still knows how to put on a show. the bands of the welsh, irish and scots guards beat a retreat, and the setting for tonight's bench banquet was the magnificent blenheim

palace, winston churchill's birthplace, and the hero of donald trump's. theresa may and husband philip waited patiently to greet them. when the turmoil of brexit is finally over, this is the man who she might concluding a trade deal with. and the prime minister wants to make him feel welcome. a feeling not universally shared. at the gates of blenheim, protesters gathered to voice their displeasure at donald trump's visit, although this was middle england and it was all a bit sedate. but tomorrow will be bigger, when the trump baby blimp will float 30 metres above the thames, and protesters had promised to make their voices heard, not that donald trump, before he left the nato summit in brussels, seemed overly worried. protests, there might be protests, but i believe that the people in the uk, scotland, ireland,

as you know, i have property in ireland, i have property all over. i think that those people, they like mea think that those people, they like me a lot, and they agree with me on immigration. i'm going to a few hotspots. we have nato, then we have the uk, and then we have written. and i said putin may be the easiest of them all. you never know. i'm going to a pretty hotspot right now, right, with a lot of resignations. any us presidential bid visit is an exercise in the projection of power, and though protesters won't get anywhere near him, there are plenty who support donald trump being given the red carpet treatment as britain's most important ally. the red carpet treatment as britain's most important allylj think britain's most important ally.|j think donald trump will have wonderful and fruitful conversations with the prime minister, because at the end of the day, it doesn't matter who is president or who is prime minister. a long—standing relationship between our two countries will endure. when president trump arrived into britain today he was greeted on behalf of

the government by doctor liam fox, the government by doctor liam fox, the international trade secretary, underlining again the importance of trade, the pre—eminent issue on theresa may's agenda. but there are signs tonight that donald trump, far from coming to her aid, is doing his best to undermine the fragile truce she reached with her divided cabinet last friday. as we have heard, president trump has been having dinner at blenheim palace this evening with a group of business leaders. as our correspondent duncan kennedy reports, there were hundreds of protesters outside, voicing their opposition to some of president trump's policies. what do we want? trump out. the chant normally reserved for british politicians tonight turn on the president of the united states. up to 1000 protesters gathered outside the front of blenheim palace, calling for donald trump to leave britain, on the day he had just

arrived. very beautiful, very nice. all these people have turned out to see us. . . all these people have turned out to see us... there was a pantomime atmosphere playing up in the genteel oxfordshire countryside, but with a defined edge turned to mr trump's presence. i think this is against misogyny and racism, but i am against his politics generally. and the problem is, the man with the policies, has absolutely awful policies, has absolutely awful policies that are only out to really better himself. the president may have had his orchestra inside, the protesters came organised as well. and, although one or two tried to slip be on the reach of a huge security presence here, it stayed peaceful and passionate. well, many of these people here have been waiting six or seven hours for the arrival of donald trump. they know they are unlikely to see him and he is unlikely to see them. what they wa nt to is unlikely to see them. what they want to do here is vocalise their anger and their frustration at the president's visit. but, even in the

midst of this, donald trump had a few supporters. i have come to show solidarity and support to our closest ally, donald trump, and to show he is very, very welcome. this process was ageless, diverse and energised. there will be an even bigger one in london tomorrow. it won't be face—to—face with the president, but the message remains, they just don't see president, but the message remains, theyjust don't see either eye. as we heard, president trump has cast doubt on theresa may's approach to brexit, suggesting it might not be the best way to negotiate with the eu. he spoke on the day the government published its long—awaited plans for future relations with the eu. the blueprint expands on last friday's chequers agreement, that provoked the resignations of two cabinet ministers. the document focuses on goods, services and immigration. the new brexit secretary, dominic raab, said the white paper was ambitious and pragmatic. others say it will be

a bad dealfor britain. our political editor laura kuenssberg has been studying the contents. every now and then, in boring, brown—looking boxes, are government documents that really, really matter. in there, theresa may's plan for life outside the eu. we've just come out of this morning's briefing. the document has been kept so tightly under wraps that we haven't actually been allowed to bring it out of the building. the white paper does, in detail, spell out a much closer relationship with the rest of the eu after brexit than many brexiteers had hoped for. but, from the prime minister's point of view, it is time to compromise, and accept we can't have it all. the 98—page document spells out the common rule book for manufacturing. the uk will follow eu rules to avoid a hard border in ireland. but the government isn't aiming for one big agreement on services, but new arrangements instead, to cover the vast

majority of the economy. the overall deal will be policed by a new governing body. the european court won't have the final say, but will interpret the rules. and, while the government will end unlimited immigration from the eu, its citizens will be able to come without visas to do paid work in some circumstances — not yet defined. for those who like dramatic breaks with the established order — guess who? — it is not as much of a separation as brexit might have been. before ministers had a chance to explain their plan, president trump tried to do it for them. i've been reading a lot about brexit over the last couple of days, and it seems to be turning a little bit differently, where they're getting at least partially involved back with the european union. i don't know if that's what they voted for. awkward, given that the prime minister was leaving for home to welcome the american president on his visit to the uk. they voted for us to take back control of our money, our law and our borders, and that's exactly what we will do.

we will stop sending vast subscriptions, vast contributions to the eu every year. we will ensure that the european court ofjustice doesn't have jurisdiction in the uk any longer, and we will ensure that we bring an end to free movement. the white paper should have been made available. it will be immediately... but the brand—new brexit secretary had some problems explaining at home. as soon as is practicably possible... only at the very last minute did mps see the plan. boxes rushed into the commons, copies being flung around. there was such a ruckus that the session was stopped. i will therefore suspend the sitting of the house... smooth and orderly brexit? not quite. today has been shambolic for the government. it's evidence of how they're conducting negotiations. this white paper should have been published over a year ago. it's already overdue, and then it wasn't ready for scrutiny in parliament. so "shambles" is an overused word in politics, but today,

it really describes what's gone on. and how can the government squeeze it past the divided brexiteers and former remainers in the tory party? we asked a strong member of each camp. the uk government has compromised, compromised and compromised again. we've compromised too far. these regulations aren't sort of monstrously unfeasible, unworkable regulations. i don't think either side, those who regret the result or those who want a complete break with europe tomorrow morning, should start by dismissing what is in the white paper. there is going to be a time for peace and reconciliation in the conservative party. is there? but it's not now, and it's not next week. it's taken a long time even to get this far. the white paper cost theresa may two of her cabinet. it is not clear, as it stands, that it would get through the commons

even if the eu accepts it. but some form of compromise was always inevitable. there is a fine line, though, between bend and break. laura kuenssberg, bbc news, westminster. president trump has said that the us uk trade deal may not be made. let's talk to our political correspondent chris mason. not what theresa may wanted to hear. coyte. it is quite something, isn't it? we should be used to the style and approach to international diplomacy that president trump adopts, that being a tad unconventional compared with many of his predecessors and world leaders elsewhere. but these remarks still have the capacity to surprise, because not only in the last couple of days had he talked about the uk being quote unquote in turmoil, and being quote unquote in turmoil, and being a hotspot, not particularly diplomatic things to say but arguably broadly accurate as a reflection on the current tummel at westminster, but this particular

intervention during a visit where there is going to be a conversation about trade and the trading relationship between the uk and the us after brexit, to effectively say that this delicately choreographed white paper, published a matter of hours before air force one arrived at sta nsted hours before air force one arrived at stansted airport, would ensure that in his view that couldn't be a trade deal between the uk and the us, is, yes, really quite something to say. pause for a moment, because we wa nt to say. pause for a moment, because we want to play another little excerpt. president trump told the sun newspaper that he had advised theresa may how to proceed with brexit but the prime minister did not listen to him. back to chris mason, i am tempted to ask my last question again. that is not what theresa may wanted to hear either. again, and as i was listening to that, i was thinking what kind of intelligent and thoughtful analysis can i add to that conversation. don't talk yourself down! and the only word that sprang to mind was ouch. because you think, gosh! these two have shared a dinner this evening.

we have seen the pictures, haven't we, from blenheim palace and the associated pomp associated with this kind of visit, even though it isn't technically a state visit. now, i don't know whether downing street we re don't know whether downing street were aware that this interview had been recorded in the hours prior to the dinner. i have actually been in touch with downing street this evening to see if they would offer themselves any reflections on president trump's remarks. but they hadn't yet ta ken president trump's remarks. but they hadn't yet taken the opportunity to reply, but one assume is they will wa nt to reply, but one assume is they will want to be a little bit more considered, perhaps, in their response, or delicate and dramatic in their response, than the president has been in her direction. after the week that the prime minister has had, she would have preferred, i suspect, minister has had, she would have preferred, isuspect, if minister has had, she would have preferred, i suspect, if the president hadn't quite found time for a conversation the sun today. chris mason at westminster. the headlines on bbc news: president trump has arrived in the uk for his first official visit since taking office. the president has warned that theresa may's plan for close ties

with the eu after brexit will probably kill any trade deal between britain and the us. it comes on the day the government has published its blueprint for uk relations with the european union. the proposal is aimed at ensuring trade co—operation, with no hard border for northern ireland, and global trade deals for the uk. sport now, and for a full round—up from the bbc sport centre, here's chettan pattack. thank you. we'll start with another day at wimbledon. serena williams is true to her 10th singles final after beating julia girders in straight sets. joe wilson reports. women's tennis at wimbledon has evolved through great innovations.

many champions, but one woman turned it all up. it is serena's in there. her opponent, germany's julio gurkhas, hang in, but williams is in full flow —— serena's in iraq. through to a 10th final two months —— ten months after giving birth. tough delivery, multiple surgeries, almost didn't make it. —— serena's is. it's not normal. she will play angelique kerber on saturday. a straight sets win a today. a world cup summer with one german ina today. a world cup summer with one german in a final. when it comes to doubles in tennis, there are no boundaries. here on court and englishman and a croatian playing on the same side for a place in the

final. they played five sets against the american pair and lost. almost felt like moscow on court to. joe wilson, bbc news, wimbledon. the world cup dream may be over for england but manager gareth southgate says they can come home after the third—place play—off match against belgium on saturday with their heads headlock held high. although there we re headlock held high. although there were no official interviews from the tea m were no official interviews from the team today, but many took to social media to express their gratitude to the public, teammates and wider england setup for their support. southgate spoke to fa tv to share his pride in his side. yesterday was sometimes important to feel the suffering of the result. also now we've got to acknowledge the journey we've got to acknowledge the journey we've been on and the achievements that the team have made. i'm

incredibly proud of what they've given, the improvement, particularly in the last eight months, and we are the third team in history to make a world cup semi—final. given the last two tea ms world cup semi—final. given the last two teams to do it worth far more experienced than this team, i don't think we can underestimate that achievement. steven gerrard's first competitive match as rangers manager started with a win over macedonian side in the first leg of their europa league first round qualifier. jamie murphy's opener came in the 23rd minute, reward for an impressive first half display. a little more subdued after the break, rangers got the crucial second courtesy of a late penalty. the second leg is next tuesday. also a europa league first qualifying win for hibs. derry city,

clifto nville qualifying win for hibs. derry city, cliftonville and connors kebe were all beaten. coleraine picked up a draw. england's cricketers have lost their opening odi against india with a heavy eight wicket defeat at trent bridge. put into bat first, england could only get 268 thanks largely to brilliant bowling by yadav. he took six wickets. the indian batsmen had no problem passing that total thanks to sharma's unbeaten 137. india are now 1—0 to sharma's unbeaten 137. india are now1—0 up in to sharma's unbeaten 137. india are now 1—0 up in the three match series. that is all your sport for now. in japan, at least 200 people are now reported to have been killed in the worst flooding to affect the country in nearly a0 years. torrential rains have triggered landslides and floods in central and western areas, with more than eight million people ordered to leave their homes. our tokyo correspondent rupert wingfield hayes has been to one of the worst hit towns, mabi in okayama prefecture. the floodwaters have now gone

from the little town of mabi, but they have left behind a fetid ruin. when the dykes burst here, the whole town was submerged under five metres of stinking, toxic floodwater. teruhiko watanabe and his wife yuki are still in shock, and lucky to be alive. inside, teruhiko shows me what the floodwaters have done to their home. nothing can be salvaged. the watanabes failed to heed the warnings to leave, and when the floodwaters came they took refuge in their bedroom. but that was not high enough. so, there you go, you can see — there's the tide mark. that's how high the water came on the second floor... translation: it was horrifying to watch the water getting higher and higher.

we didn't know where it would stop, and it didn't stop. we thought we were going to die there. at dawn, teruhiko and yuki were found by rescuers, on their roof. a few metres away in this house, three of their neighbours were not so lucky. at the end of the street, this family are trying to salvage the family photo albums. fumikazu's house has been gutted. it will have to be completely rebuilt. in 50 years, he has never seen anything remotely like this. okayama has a mild climate, he says. "we never get rain like this, so i never thought we would be hit by such a disaster. "i should've told my neighbours to evacuate. "they didn't need to die. "we've lost so many people here." the volume of rain was unprecedented. in one place, half a metre fell in 2a hours. across western japan, four times the averagejuly rainfall

came in one week. the link between global climate change and extreme weather events is very complicated, but for many years now climate scientists have been predicting that across the northern hemisphere there will be more and more extreme rain events, where up to a month or even two months‘ rainfall can fall in just two or three days. that is exactly what happened here last week, and this is the result. japan is one of the wealthiest countries in the world, with some of the best flood defences. but they were not strong enough to withstand this onslaught that has left 200 dead, and still counting. rupert wingfield—hayes, bbc news, in okayama, western japan. two people have been arrested in connection with the death of a 3—year—old girl who was thrown from an inflatable trampoline. ava—may littleboy was sent into the air when the inflatable

apparently burst at gorleston beach in norfolk. she suffered a head injury and died earlier this month. a man and a woman in theirforties are being questioned on suspicion of gross negligence and manslaughter. the government has given approval for rupert murdoch's bid to take complete control of the broadcaster sky. mr murdoch's company, 21st century fox, has agreed to sell sky news to address concerns about the extent of his influence over the uk media. fox is locked in a multi—billion pound bidding war with the us cable giant comcast for control of the broadcaster. the labour mp jarrod the labour mpjarrod oman, suspended over alleged misogynistic and homophobic comments, has resigned from the party. he was reinstated on tuesday and given a warning but he said the investigation wasn't there. in an open letter to his constituency said he would remain an

mp and ask for understanding and sympathy. one of the british divers who helped find 12 boys trapped in a cave for more than two weeks in northern thailand has been speaking publicly about his part in the remarkable rescue mission. john volanthen, who helped lead them out, said it was a huge relief the boys had all been brought out alive. our correspondentjon kay has the details. quietly, modestly, with all his diving gearjohn volanthen returned to britain. praised by strangers. we were pleased it worked out. but playing down what he'd done. we're not heroes. what we do is very calculating, very calm, it's quite the opposite. we take it one step at a time and hopefully, as we've managed to in this case, we come up with a result. and what a result. it was john who found the young footballers in the caves and then worked with many others to get them out.

an extraordinary rescue, the most challenging conditions, a race against time. an international team of military and civilian divers working alongside the thai navy and everybody pulled together, and the results speak for themselves. so we're just very happy that the boys are out and safe. we've got someone who's done something so heroic... pride in the north somerset village where john vola nthen is a scout leader. we teach children as part of the scouts and girl guiding movement to think of others before themselves, to think about the world around them, and he'sjust taken that to the ultimate. there are calls for honours butjohn volanthen says cave rescuing isjust his hobby. you've made everyone very proud. thank you. now it's time to sleep and get back to the dayjob in it. jon kay, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather with chris fawkes. hello again. temperatures reached 27

this afternoon, and we've got more of that heat to come again on friday with 27 expected once again. into the weekend, temperatures going to build further, 29 by saturday and into sunday we should see the mercury hitting 31 degrees across parts of eastern england. getting a bit warmer as well further north over the course of the weekend as well. we've seen showers today down the spine of wales, some more recently have been working in a cross cheshire, merseyside and greater manchester with a few heavy downpours. earlier, this is what one of the downpours looked like in powys thanks to gail, our weather watcher, for sending that photo. showers in the and wales will fade away this evening and we will be left with dry weather in england and wales with clear spells and when you're heading to bed, perhaps still warm, the eventual overnight lows almost between 11 and 15. quite

co mforta ble almost between 11 and 15. quite comfortable for sleeping. cloudy in scotla nd comfortable for sleeping. cloudy in scotland and northern ireland, another cloudy start on friday but brightening up with some sunny spells. the best of the morning sunshine in england and wales, but through the afternoon we will see showers forming. the showers will turn out to be heavy and thundery, stretching from the southern uplands, dumfries and galloway, down the western side of england and wales, through the midlands, central and southern england with the risk of showers. the downpours could bring 20 or 30 millimetres of rain, half a month's worth, in one hour and given the ground is baked dry, that could bring localised surface water flooding when we get the heaviest showers. this weekend, low pressure to the north—west of the country but pressure building in much of england and wales and that tra nslates much of england and wales and that translates to lighter winds, more sunshine and ultimately higher temperatures too. in the sunshine, we're looking at highs of 29 in south—west england. always more cloud in the north—west of the country, with the prospect of some

rain, which is generally going to be quite light and patchy. the rain turns heavier for a quite light and patchy. the rain turns heavierfor a time in western scotla nd turns heavierfor a time in western scotland sunday morning before turning lighter and patchy again through the afternoon. a bit of dampness in western counties of northern ireland, otherwise it is dry and feeling warmer for most, even hot in parts of england and wales with highs of up to 31 in the south—east.
