Hello and welcome to bbc news. The Us Supreme Court has cleared the way for the us president to build sections of his promised border wall with mexico, using pentagon funds. The Supreme Courtjustices narrowly voted to allow the Trump Administration to access two and a half billion dollars from the military budget to strengthen existing barriers in border states. President trump was quick to declare the ruling a big victory on twitter. Chris buckler in washington has more. President trump has long promised this border wall. He went to rally after rally, even before he was elected president , and promised he would build a barrier between mexico and america to tackle the problem of illegal immigration and there has been a long battle between President Trump and his political opponents over how to fund that. Inside congress, democrats have repeatedly blocked his attempts to get money specifically for the wall, so earlier this year he declared a National Emergency, arguing that there was a crisis at americas southern border because of a number of people trying to claim a silent and because of illegal immigration, and he argued because of that National Emergency, he should be allowed to redirect funds from other government departments. For example, the department of defence, in order to pay for the wall. A court had argued, and had decided that it was going to put in place an injunction because it felt at that stage, it wasnt appropriate for it to do it, and part of that is because congress in washington ultimately does have responsibility for the purse strings. It should have a say on these issues, they would argue, but the Supreme Court has now ruled President Trump can go ahead with his decision to spend this money build the wall and there is no doubt he regards that as a major victory. On twitter, he said it was a big win for border security. It is an important decision from the court but on another migration related development, the us and guatemala have reached some sort of migration deal. Can you tell us more . Of course one of the big problems with the border is people coming from central america, and they are coming from countries like guatemala, el salvador and honduras. What guatemaala seems to have agreed to is the those people who are coming from honduras and el salvador who make their way through guatemala have to now seek protection first there in guatemala before they go to the us, essentially claiming asylum in that country before they reach the United States. Now that is something that american officials have been pushing very hard forfor some time. However, we dont know the specific details of this deal and actually, there are some suggestions that what is often called this third country arrangement is not mentioned in specific detail, its certainly not called that in this agreement, that has been signed by the guatemalan government and the american administration. There is also another issue, which is that the guatemalan courts had said very clearly that as far as it was concerned, it needed the approval of congress and couldnt go ahead without that. Currently, the congress in guatemala is on summer recess so there has not been a vote in favour of this deal and its not entirely clear yet how the guatemalan government have got around that problem. Lets get some of the days other news. A balcony and a staircase have collapsed in a nightclub in the south korean city of gwangju, killing two people. At least 17 others were injured, nine of them International Competitors in the world aquatic championships being held in the city. The new zealand mens water polo captain said people dropped five or six metres as the balcony collapsed beneath their feet. There have been several earthquakes in the northern philippines, with initial reports indicating some damage. At least six people have been killed as a result of the tremors which struck north of the main island of luzon. The Us Geological survey has registered magnitudes of between 4. 5 and 5. 9. The United Nations human rights chief Michelle Bachelet has criticised the appa rent indifference of the International Community towards the renewed fighting in syria. Michelle bachelet said airstrikes by Government Forces and their allies have killed at least a hundred civilians in the last ten days. 26 of them were children. The fighting has been taking place in Idlib Province, in the north west of syria. Its one of the last Opposition Strongholds in the country after eight years of civil war. The fighting in Idlib Province affects an area that was supposed to be demilitarised following a deal between turkey and russia in september 2018. However, heavy fighting in the province restarted at the end of april, when syrian Government Forces, supported by russia, launched airstrikes. After a week of strikes, Government Forces began their ground offensive in idlib. Following the collapse of three ceasefire attempts, the syrian army began the second phase of its offensive, ten days ago. As Imogen Foulkes reports, despite denials by syria and russia, civilians, hospitals and businesses in idlib have been targeted. Five year old rehan desperately trying to save her baby sister from an air strike. Butjust hours later rehan herself died from her injuries. Idlib is the last area of syria still in rebel hands. It is also home to millions of civilians. The United Nations has warned for months that a battle here would come at a huge cost to civilian life. The area is supposed to be a de escalation zone, but in recent weeks Syrian Forces has stepped up their operations. 103 people have been killed in the last ten days alone. A quarter of them children. This latest Relentless Campaign ofairstrikes, by the government and its allies, has continued to hit medical facilities, schools, and other civilian infrastructure such as markets and bakeries. These are civilian objects and it seems highly unlikely, given the persistent pattern of such attacks, that they are being hit by accident. Intentional attacks against civilians war crimes. And those who have ordered them or carried them out are criminally responsible for their actions. Syria and its ally russia both deny deliberately targeting civilians, nevertheless, men, women, children are dying in the air strikes and, to the uns frustration, theres little sign of international concern. Those air strikes kill and maim significant numbers of civilans several times a week and their response seems to be a collective shrug. With the Security Council paralysed by the persistent failure of its five permanent members to agree to use their power and influence to stop the fighting and killing once and for all. Many of the people in idlib fled there from aleppo. They have already endured one brutal struggle for control of a city, now, in what could be the last decisive battle before syria returns entirely to president assads control, they have nowhere to go. Kenan rahmani is an advocacy manager for the Human Rights Group the syria campaign. He described the situation on the ground in idlib, and calls on the International Community to act to prevent air strikes on civilians. The people on the ground are absolutely terrified because there is nowhere that is safe right now for them. Hospitals are being bombed, over 30 hospitals have been bombed in the last three months. A market was bombed yesterday. We have seen over 100 People Killed in the last ten days and there is no area in idlib that is safe now. The horrible reality is that half of the 4 million person population in idlib has already been displaced once before and they will have nowhere left to go if idlib is completely destroyed by the assad regime and russia. Hearing you describe the difficulties in idlib and we have seen pictures coming out of the area, do you feel like the world has forgotten about the situation in syria . It certainly seems that the world has. Syria is no longer a front page story but we are seeing the highest level of casualties weve seen in many, many months and all we are getting statements from the United Nations, statements from the United States and others in the west, but there is no action to stop the assad regime warplanes from continuing to bomb hospitals, white helmets, busy markets and children. As we just saw in the clip, children are at the highest level of vulnerability to be killed by these indiscriminate strikes on civilians. We heard the human rights chief talk about a paralysed un Security Council. Many countries seem reluctant to take on russia, who is embedded in syria. What do you think can be done by the International Community to help in some way . Well, there is a precedent for action when the Security Council is at a deadlock. We saw this in kosovo and weve seen other times throughout history. The reality is there should be no deadlock in the Security Council when there are atrocities and potential genocide taking place. What russia is doing is absolutely shameful and it is incumbent on the other members of the Security Council to find ways outside of the Security Council to force the assad regime and russia to stop bombing civilian areas. If nothing is done, if nothing changes, where is this going to end for people in idlib . In a matter ofjust three months, weve seen over 350,000 people displaced from their homes. If this continues, we are going to end up seeing up to 4 Million People displaced, refugees, and these people have to seek refuge somewhere and the death tolls will be very high. The number of refugees that are fleeing to turkey, to europe, everywhere, will be very high and with the Current Situation it looks like it could be the worst humanitarian crisis in the war yet. Twin toddlers have died inside a sweltering hot car in the bronx in new york when their father forgot they were there and went to work. The daily news reported that the brother and sister spent eight hours strapped in car seats. The father found them when he left his job at the Veterans Administration medical center. The summer heatwave has broken records across the northern hemisphere, and not even the arctic has escaped the dramatic rise in tempratures. There have been hundreds of wildfires within forests in the arctic circle, including siberia, alaska and greenland. Plumes of smoke can even be seen from space. Ramzan karmali reports. Wildfires are ravaging the arctic. Areas of northern siberia, northern scandinavia and greenland have been engulfed in flames. Lightning often triggers fires in the region, but this year they are lasting longer. This fire at grouse creek in alaska has been burning since the 10th ofjuly. So far, over two million acres of forest land have been scorched in the state. The temperature was much higher than the average, and also things like the soil moisture and the amount of precipitation is much lower than the average. What this means is its much drier, much warmer, so when there is an ignition, then the fires have 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 ongoing wildfires within the arctic circle. Smoke is affecting large areas, engulfing some places completely. Cities in eastern russia have noted a significant fall in air quality, with many people seeking medical help. Translation smoke is a horror. Youre choking and feel dizzy because the smell of the smoke is very strong. The fires are releasing copious volumes of carbon dioxide, which Scientists Say will make our planet even warmer. That means wildfires like these will become even more common. Stay with us on bbc news, still to come restoration of van goghs former london home unveils some hidden treasures. Cheering.

Owe all this is bbc news the latest headlines the Us Supreme Court has cleared the way for the Trump Administration to use pentagon funds to build sections of the president s promised border wall with mexico. The United Nations says airstrikes by the Syrian Government may be directly targetting civilians. Its accused the world of turning its back on their plight. Three Us University students have been suspended from their fraternity after posing with guns in front of a memorial honouring a murdered civil rights icon. The photo, obtainted by the Mississippi Center for investigative reporting and propublica, shows the three brandishing firearms by the bullet ridden sign. The memorial honours 14 year old emmett till, who was beaten to death when he was accused of whistling at a white woman in a rural town in 1955. Two men stood trialfor the murder, but were acquitted. A year later they admitted the crime, but couldnt be retried. Emmett tills death galvanised the Civil Rights Movement, and, asjerry mitchell of the Mississippi Center for investigative reporting told us, it is still significant today. A lot of significance. As you mentioned, it galvanised the Civil Rights Movement and emmett till remains, and continues to grow, as an icon. Hes very much been adopted and is part of, kind of, the black lives Matter Movement as well now. So its very common in these protests to, say, you have a photo or sign of Trayvon Martin and emmett till alongside, so hes actually grown in stature, i guess you could say, as opposed to shrinking, unlike most people. When you read about the emmett till case, its such a horrific case, what happened to that boy. Why would anyone pose in the way weve seen these boys pose in front of that sign . Well, obviously its strictly speculation on our part as to what was their mentality for it. If you take the best case scenario, it would be this was a prank, and they just stood in front of the signs with their guns and snapped a picture at night, rather than obviously during the day, when it would be without guns, you know. But more nefarious explanation would be that they shot the sign and took a photo of that after they shot it. Its not quite clear whether they shot the sign and the case is now being investigated, but does it raise a bigger issue that perhaps some communities in mississippi perhaps havent quite come to terms with the history of that state . Well, if im going to be honest, i would agree mississippi hasnt come to terms with it. Id also agree the United States in general hasnt come to terms with it. I think its been a struggle, you know, throughout the United States. So yes, i think thats very true. Its a troubling photo. I know when it went online a lot of people commented and said they were very disturbed by what they saw, that these young people would stand in front of. For african americans, this is like sacred ground. The place for emmett till, where his body was found. So theyre very concerned about this image, and understandably so. Vincent van gogh is remembered as one of the most popular post impressionist painters theres currently a major exhibition of his works here in london. But he wasnt much appreciated during his lifetime. And many may not know he spent some time living here in too. Now his former home, in stockwell, is being opened to the public and the restoration has uncovered some secrets hidden away for decades. Victoria cook has the story. There is that . Thats mr vincent. The stories of van gots life in london, pieced togetherfrom his letters. Now the artists former home has been restored, orfunded by family based in london. During the works, a whole host of unexpected treasures were found hidden away. These are his landladys insurance documents with signatures on them from the date he was living in the palace and indisputable prayer book and all of this was folded up really neatly and he didnt get it upstairs. The discoveries go someway helping us understand just what happened here in 1873. helping us understand just what happened here in 1873. I charged 12 and sixa happened here in 1873. I charged 12 and six a week, or 18 shillings for brea kfast. And six a week, or 18 shillings for breakfast. Is that agreeable . Yes. Which you want . The breakfast. And the sunday dinner. Although van gogh lodged here for a year, he never spotted the loose floorboard in his bedroom. So under the floorboard, we found loads of victorian childrens toys and they are all from pre van goghs time, in van goghs bedroom so we goghs time, in van goghs bedroom so we found lots of acorns, marbles, and also some fragments of handwriting samples which were all named in dated. It was a little boy called James Whitmore who was 13 and had six younger brothers and lived in this house to scribble everything away. Amazing. For olivia wong, this project has been a labour of love. Weve had to do a lot of work really and weve had to try and respect all of the original fabrics and evening we had to change, we met a new one and hopefully there was another 200 yea rs. And hopefully there was another 200 years. One of the biggest changes to van goghs ounces this Artist Studio in the garden.

Johnny clegg has been remembered at a Memorial Service in johannesburg. He was known as the white zulu, for his vocal criticism of the apartheid government. He died at the age of 66, after a long battle with pancreatic cancer. Our correspondent milton nkosi sent this report from the service. We are here at the Memorial Service for the legendary musician johnny clegg. Hundreds of people came out today to pay their respects. He died last week and was buried the following day. But today people came here to say what they thought about him, and the legendary actor, john kani, delivered the eulogy. This is the man who broke all the barriers. The man who took on a culture, a man in his own embodiment was south africa, was an african. This is the man who, through his music, through his art, an anthropologist now i know why he wanted to study where we come from, because he wanted to understand where were going. And then came the moment when Johnny Cleggs son jesse performed a song, and paid an emotional tribute to his late father. Ultimately, its impossible for me to sum up what my dad was to my mother, my brother and me. But writing this song together was a wonderful memory that we shared, and it gave us a chance to celebrate these most precious things. Its a memory that ill always carry with me, and id like to sing this song for him now. Ive been looking for something to lose ive been looking for something to prove oh well, its hard to find yourself ive been looking for a brighter day ive been looking for the words to say oh well, its hard to even tell. The people who came here today to attend this Memorial Service came from all walks of life. And this is what they told us about what johnny clegg meant to them. As they said, hes the son of south africa, you know. Hes a legend and someone thats, i guess, always been a symbol of what we want for our country. He has always been that no barrier between, you know, colour, creed. I say rest in peace our brother, he is still in our hearts, and as a south african, the whole world is saying, guys, sorry, the family, just paying their very big condolences to them. He means a lot to us, he is an epitome of what south africa should have been. Singing stay with us. Hello. Weve made it to the end of what has been an extraordinary week of weather. Initially it looked like we hadnt broken the uks all Time Temperature record, but in the last 2a hours some new information has come to light a temperature reading from Cambridge UniversityBotanic Garden of 38. 7 degrees on thursday afternoon. Now, this still needs to be verified, it needs to be checked by the met office, that will happen in the coming days and weeks, but if that temperature stands, that will be a new uk record. But, and im sure many people will welcome this, a very different feel this weekend. Much cooler weather with some heavy rain in places. That rain could be enough to cause some disruption, because we have this slow moving weather front draped across the british isles, bringing some rain across the eastern side of the uk during saturday morning. Quite a muggy feel, some mist and murk as well. Those temperatures as we start the day between 14 17, not quite as warm i suppose as it has been on recent mornings. As we go through the day, this band of cloud and rain really making very little progress, wet weather across the south east into east anglia, the midlands, parts of Northern England and up into scotland. The rain heavy and persistent, perhaps enough to cause some localised flooding, certainly the chance of some travel disruption. To the north east of scotland, northern ireland, wales and the south west, either side of that system, its likely to stay dry, with some spells of sunshine, and those temperatures 18 23. On saturday night the front will pivot and move westwards to some extent, but theres uncertainty about exactly how far west that front will get. It could well introduce some rain into northern ireland, but some uncertainty about that. And it is going to be a somewhat fresher night, by no means a chilly night, but 12 15, a little more comfortable for sleeping. So, during sunday, ourweatherfront still wriggling around, still sitting in place. Rain perhaps into northern ireland, some hanging around south west scotland and some rain dangling down into Northern England, the midlands. A few showers in the south east. But again, either side of the front, to the north east and the south west, we see a lot of dry weather, some spells of sunshine and those temperatures still in the 20s. As we go into monday, our old weather front still probably sitting across the northern half of the uk, so that will allow some showers to develop. And late in the day, an area of low pressure is likely to throw some rain towards the far south west of england. Elsewhere, some sunny spells, a little warmer down to the south but still nothing like it has been. An unsettled start then to next week. It settles down and warms up a bit towards the end of the week, but no return to the heat. This is bbc news, the headlines the Us Supreme Court has ruled that the Trump Administration can divert military funds to pay for the construction of the president s long promised border wall with mexico. Donald trump had declared a National Emergency to try to secure funding after failing to persuade congress. Hes called the ruling a big success.
