It is the middle is, or the ukraine. Where ever you look, there are so many problems. Alter the lee i believe that we are going to get rid of most of those problems and there will not be fear anybody. We have a very big pile of north korea and as isaidi very big pile of north korea and as isaid i really very big pile of north korea and as i said i really think that china it will try very hard. And it has already started. Yesterday and today they have penned back whole boats. The vast amount of colbert penned back, they tend back the boats. Turn back the whole boats. It may be effective it may not be effective. It may not be affected but we will be effective. I can promise you that. Thank you. Nato has constantly confirmed the use of chemical weapons in syria. The use of chemical weapons is horrendous. It isa chemical weapons is horrendous. It is a clear violation of international law. Any use of chemical weapons is unacceptable and cannot go unanswered, so those responsible is must be held accountable. The strike against the airbase in syria was a us operation based on us intelligence. Within the alliance, this has been something which has been met with a lot of understanding, because nato allies do not accept that chemical weapons are used and therefore we also strongly support the efforts of the Fact Finding Commission to find out what happens and to make sure that we do not see any use of chemical weapons in the future. Thank you. There is donald trump shaking stoltenbergs handles the two men stepped off the platform after giving prepared statement and then taken questions from journalists. If you arejoining me let me run through what was said because there we re through what was said because there were significant statements bear, first full Donald Trumps general tone towards nato has panned around. Here we have one journalist on Public Radio International pointing out that he said, i complained about that a long time ago in a major change. Hes talking about the funding of nato, and that word obsolete game up. Do you member this from a while back . In interview with the german newspaper mr trump said. Mrtrump says, the german newspaper mr trump said. Mr trump says, its the german newspaper mr trump said. Mrtrump says, its not obsolete any more as my colleague noted. The general tone will have pleased all nato members, they talked about working together on the disaster in syria, also talked about how mrtrump said disaster in syria, also talked about how mr trump said that we should not be trapped by Tired Thinking and stoltenberg emphasised that the strong may do good europe he talked about a more dangerous and unpredictable world it is interesting that both men emphasised that. Donald trump said, the world isa that. Donald trump said, the world is a mess, right now it is musty and they cant do it right now it is it the world is nasty. It is the view Ofjens Stoltenberg and an autumn that the world is west now. Donald was asked about what has been happening in moscow, the meetings between the us Secretary Of State and his counterpart in moscow, he said it was a successful meeting which may have raised some eyebrows giving that nothing agreed and eve ryo ne giving that nothing agreed and everyone in moscow agreed the relations are bad. But mr trump said judge the success of my policy on russia in the long time and this may ta ke russia in the long time and this may take a long time. He also said that right now in Us Russian Relations could be at an all time low. One other thing that has generated a lot of interest online, we are talking about chinas position towards north korea he said, hes got a good president he has a Good Chemistry with the chinese president , but he said that the americans would do it alone, which also means with a lot of nations. We do not know what that means or who else might be involved if the chinese were not. Some questions raised but the biggest ta keaway questions raised but the biggest takeaway from that Press Conference with the mood music. He was incredibly critical of nato during the president ial campaign, and now he seems more convinced that this is an Important Alliance that serves americas interests. That happened at the white house in washington, dc, in new york not too long ago russia, as expected, vetoed the latest Un Security Council draft resolution which was pushing for an independent investigation into that Chemical Attack in syria last week. By Chemical Attack in syria last week. By the way, the americans, trump, reiterated that the sad regime is responsible, but every day the russians have been saying, how could we possibly know that as we do not have another information from the scene of the attack. Here is the uk Foreign Secretary reacting to this latest vetoed. It is interesting that it was only the russians who were thee significant country to veto, even the chinese abstained, i think the pressure on them is now very considerable. I have been recognised that. Are hope they mechanise that. They may recognise it, but the price has not budged they may recognise but the pressure has not made them budge. I wasjust mentioning that donald trump, in the press C0 Nfe Re Nce mentioning that donald trump, in the Press Conference at the white house, said of north korea, that it was an incredibly important issue to be working with china on this but he reiterated that america would go it alone. That was in line with what he told fox news elia. We are sending an aga, very powerful, we have submarines, very powerful, far more powerful then the aircraft carrier, can tell you that. And we have the best military people on earth, he is doing the wrong thing. Now, the hate that he is referring to is the north korea leader, king john. Now, the heat. Chinese media reported on the cool between these two men and we we re the cool between these two men and we were told that the chinese president is. We spotted an editorial in Chinese State meeting saying that. Bbcs reporters based in beijing and he is in the north korean capital and couple of hours ago this came in. Behind me you canjust make out in the gloom the skyline of an eerily quiet city that finds itself at the centre of an increasingly tense International Crisis with the Us Aircraft Carrier Strike Group on its way to beat waters and north korean media warning that if such provocation continue there could be devastating consequences. The chinese and us president s have spoken by telephone with Terry Calling for calm and telling President Trump that he will work for the De Neutralisation of the korean peninsula. It is worth pointing out that crisis has in part of the pattern with north korea for a deck ride. Experts say that the government uses such things for its own strategic advantage. That said, the company is preparing to celebrate the anniversary of the birth of its founding president on saturday and there is speculation that there could be further missile tests, or even a nuclear test come. Bbc news, pyongyang. We have had from pyongyang, for worthington, from new york. Lets turn to germany. A man has been arrested, we were reporting on yesterdays programme. We know the bus left the team hotel in the south of the city and was heading to the centre. The Champions League quarterfinal against mod the whispers to be happening but it was actually played tonight instead. Against monaco was supposed to be happening. One player we know he was not in the game, the spanish midfielder here. He broke his wrist in this attack, he seems in good spirits, this was a picture posted online. Thats ourselves of today and all of todays elements today. Prosecutors said they found three letters which point a passable islamist Terror Motive for the attacks. They be examined by islamic experts now. They are said to have contained the mans for example the german tornadoes are withdrawn from syria. They are said to have content demands. And that germany closes its us airbase. An intriguing twist to the investigation at this point but sadly these letters appeared to be the focus of the investigation at the moment. 50, the game was pushed that by 2a hours, but it went ahead this evening along with two other quarterfinals as well, mark edwards s libel was that the bbc sports centre, it was an update game please . It was a five Goal Thriller at the stadium, it was a first competitive encounter between these two clubs and it is 32 to between these two clubs and it is 3 2 to monaco, the german teams players wore shirts dedicated to the players wore shirts dedicated to the player he was injured in the blast. In terms of the match, there was plenty of action, the French League leaders scored vast, food that Teenage Sensation in the 19th minute with his 14th goal. The French League leaders scored as with that Teenage Sensation. He was on target again with a second goal of the game and made it 3 1. But another player pulled a goal back for the home side to bring them back into the tie at 32. That to bring them back into the tie at 3 2. That is how finished and monaco will be favourites to progress there. In terms of the games, asbos we should focus on leicester, first. We can start with them. I suppose we should focus on leicester first. They lost. They probably will be quite happy with that result. The only goal of the game was from the penalty spot and it was a contentious one as it appears that there was a foul outside of the box. They will fancy their chances. Waleed madrid will be public the happier of the two madrid clubs. Real madrid will be the happy of the two madrid clubs. The hero of the day, scored two vital away goal is. They were down to ten men. Ok, thank you very much indeed. Lets talk about and weve seen a lot in the last few days, this is the boss of United Airlines who is saying he will not resign. He is under huge pressure and you know why. You will have seen the video of the man being dragged up the united flight. It took the see it we goes before he said sorry and his team decided having banked one of the West Pr Dias Asters perhaps they would change tack. The boss was sent out and us tv. The word ashamed comes to mind. Asi and us tv. The word ashamed comes to mind. As i think about our business and our people, the first thing i think is it is important to apologise to the doctor, his family, the passengers on flight, our employees. That is not who are family at united is. You saw it as the bad moment. This will never, can never happen again on a United Airlines flight. That is my promise. We have talked about this a few times this week. It feels like too little too late. Is certainly did come quite late people were looking for this kind of apology right from the get go. But his statement after statement it didnt. As the anger continue to grow and we saw on social media especiallyjust the company being eviscerated, finally we are hearing from the ceo himself saying that he is sorry. That said the question now is what impact this will have on the companys bottom line. And she dids Trading We Saw that the shares but the company had dropped four and a half percent at its absolute worst. It made up one end of the day by dropping by a percentage, today we see the same thing that it fell again by percentage. It is a sign that even wall street is reacting to the pr disaster that we have seen. The regard to working out how a paying customer ended up being dragged off a Flight Customer ended up being dragged off aflight in customer ended up being dragged off a flight in the first place . According to the interview and according to the ceo, he said the next time a situation like this arises we will not be using Law Enforcement to go and take someone off of the plane. They are going to be reviewing the incident and as we had they will release an investigation and the result of that will be available the 30th of april. We appreciate the update, thank you very much. In a few minutes we will talk you through some surprisingly is around, that is the former president , he would like to get the job back you standing again. Who would like to get the job back, job back you standing again. Who would like to get thejob back, he is standing again. Melania trump has accepted damages reporting to be in excess of £2 million, from the publishers of the daily mail at a printed allegations about her past career. The paper which has agreed to put an apology suggested that work undertaken by her in the 1990s went beyond simply modelling. The story was published and subsequently online joined story was published and subsequently onlinejoined the us story was published and subsequently online joined the Us Election Campaign last year. Today the paper accepted those suggested where an two. Our Media Correspondence has more detail will stop my wife melania, who is here right now. Melania trump, first lady of the United States its a position that is always going to attract press attention, but when the daily mail published an article last august making a series of accusations about her past, she called in the lawyers. Today, that process came to a conclusion. And in a Statement Read out in court today, they address the allegations in that article headlined racy photos and troubling questions, in which the daily mail republished allegations that Melania Trump had provided services beyond simply modelling, all of which it now accepts is entirely untrue, defamatory, and for which the daily mail has now apologised unreservedly. The size of the settlement hasnt been made public, but a figure ofjust under 3 million is being widely reported. Its a big figure for a libel claim, but Melania Trump had, at the beginning, been seeking 150 million for what her claim said was the loss of a once in a lifetime opportunity to extend her brand. There was no mention of business or branding todays statement, rather, the allegations strike at the heart of the claimants personal integrity and dignity. The claimant has not acted as alleged. Melania has been a very soft and easy target for the press. In terms of the criticism levelled against her, and the specific types of allegations that she has suffered from, it really is a kind of lazy sexism. Shes been criticised because people want to attack her husband. In court, the statement on behalf of the daily mail was brief an apology, a retraction, and publicly setting the record straight. David sillito, bbc news. Hello, thanks for joining hello, Thanks Forjoining me on outside source, i live on the bbc newsroom. Our lead story is that Rex Tillerson has been meeting President Putin and also his russian counterpart in moscow. They all admit that russian and american relationships are at a low point. Now, look who is throwing his hat back into the ring, he was arounds president from 2000 and 52 2030 and he wants the job back, he president from 2000 and 52 2030 and he wants thejob back, he is registered to stand in mays election. Look at one rainy and student described it. Look at one students from around. Arounds supreme one students from around. Arounds Supreme Leader told him not to run. He clearly wasnt listening. People we re he clearly wasnt listening. People were visibly stunned as they processed ahmadinejads paperwork. Heres the reaction in the bbc persian newsroom. Shock, iwould never expect ahmadinejad to decide to run. He had in doors to his deputy, who had registered to one. They hinted that by the Supreme Leader, he has done that before what it is still a shock. Is it realistic that he could become president ain . That he could become president again . It is hard to say, add the way he had nothing to lose, he had been fading away and we had not had much about him in the last four yea rs. Much about him in the last four years. He is now registered to run the presidency but is the Guardian Council who has to decide whether he is qualified enough to run. If he is to squalorfight. Is qualified enough to run. If he is to squalor fight. Isnt a qualified . He has done it before. If he is disqualified. That has nothing to do with that. He fell out with the Supreme Leader who has publicly asked him not to run, but he has decided not to listen. The Guardian Council is chosen by the supreme Guardian Council is chosen by the Supreme Leader, so they are all his people. It is difficult for them not to disqualify him, or if they qualify him, either way, to disqualify him, or if they qualify him, eitherway, one to disqualify him, or if they qualify him, either way, one party is standing against the wishes of the Supreme Leader and i think that the Supreme Leader and i think that the ex president ahmadinejad will be done winner of this situation, because he is back in the spotlight and were talking about him at the bbc and that is what he wants. Let me play you a quick alli clip will start this is a clip rainy and state tv, the running mate, the report tape has mentioned that ahmadinejad has registered for the election. It looks like there was a problem on the line, what happened here . There was a problem and then the connection re established and what we had when the reporter did not know that she was back on air, she said she should not mention the running mate. Then they came out and said they were not trying to convey them but the fact is they were censored by the state media. Thank you, the election is in may. There was a certain inevitability about sean spicer having to apologise have to saying this. We did not use chemical weapons in world war ii. You have someone chemical weapons in world war ii. You have someone 3s chemical weapons in world war ii. You have someone as despicable as hitler who did not even sink to using chemical weapons. Of course, hitler did use chemical weapons on his own people, not too long later shown spicer went on to us tv. made a mistake. There is no other way to say it. I got into a topic i should not have and they screwed up. It clearly is painful to myself to know that i did Something Like that. That was busy not my intention and to know when you screw up that you possibly offenders are not my intention and to know when you screw up intention and to know when you screw up that you possibly offended enough to people, i would ask for folks forgiveness and to understand that i should not have tried to make a comparison. There is no comparing atrocities. The head of the Anne Frank Centre for Mutual Respect has been saying. He goes on. Anti continues. Been saying. He goes on. Anti continues. There is no prospect of that happening, that we are aware of and not everyone sees it this way. Instance this one tweet was spotted. One of the tweet which is relevant, here is our colleague pointing out that the story would have been leading on The Morning News in the us, if he had not apologise, but that is where saying sorry bills, kill the story. That is a message that is very relevant to how united has dealt with it very difficult week. A reminder, weve seen a Press Conference difficult week. A reminder, weve seen a Press Conference between the Secretary General Of Nato and donald trump. Trump has said that nato is not obsolete, as he has said in the past will stop more on that coming up past will stop more on that coming up in the bbc, thank you for watching season. If you are hoping for some glorious weather this easter weekend, it is not going to happen. It is laughing pretty cool and showery in the Run Up To Easter and throughout easter itself. It is looking. There will be day to day differences regionally bible across the uk the general Weather Pattern will not change the novel lot. We have a week of High Pressure to the south of others and also an equally weak area of low pressure to the north. What about mean . Not a novel lots to most of those out there because its just means there will be a fair amount of cloud around with some sunshine and showers across the north west of the uk. We need more powerful and bigger Weather Systems to push the web through to see more changes. Haase to push the weather broke. One such Weather System comes through on thursday night into good friday. Quite a few Weather Fronts here but they are slow moving and sluggish will stop actually, quite a bit of cloud. An good friday, it will start off overcast suddenly. With that car Isa Off Overcast suddenly. With that car is a chance of catching some rain. In the north, away from these Weather Fronts particular in a winning run, scotland, looks at the weather will be brighter, but here too there is an area of High Pressure to the north said there will be some on and off showers throughout the cause of the day. It will be critical, as well. This is saturday, so again it is a really messy picture on the weather map. High pressures are just about to the west of our neighbourhood. Low pressures , west of our neighbourhood. Low pressures, here, between the get this north westerly blow of the. It remains cool and saturday and being reasonably good. There could be lengthily sudden spell is southern areas. The pressure hangs on to the south, where as to the north we have got a Weather Front and with a Weather Front sitting across northern parts of the uk during easter it looks like it will be cloudy with some rain, but in the south it looks like it will be dry and bright. We are not forecast in any substantial heavy outbreaks of rain nor particularly overcast conditions they are nuanced from day to day. On easter day, having said that, and into tuesday, we will see whether fronts moving off the atla ntic see whether fronts moving off the atlantic in a more substantial way, bigger Weather Fronts atlantic in a more substantial way, Bigger Weatherfronts A Atlantic in a more substantial way, bigger Weather Fronts a ride on Easter Monday and will cross others over the next 2a hours from that. That means bigger crowd, outbreaks of rain, more of a breeze coming in from the south west, but eastern areas you can see will be dry and brighter. There will be barrels across uk over a period of 2a to a0 hours sitting on top of those on tuesday. A blustery day, with some showers, you can the message that the melli nest week the weather doesnt pan a little bit more u nsettled, doesnt pan a little bit more unsettled, a little bit more changeable. La next week the weather does pan bit more unsettled. This barrels slowly and trips down to wards by the looks. With high west, you can see how the pressured west, you can see how the High Pressure and around the low pressure in between you have a flow of cooler northerly air, overall after a ll of cooler northerly air, overall after all of that, it does not look like there is any major change to our weather. That is it. Tonight at ten the Health Secretary orders an investigation into an nhs trust in england after a number of babies die at birth. At least nine lost their lives, many because of a failure to monitor their heart rate during labour. This mother lost twin girls. They had four missed opportunities to deliver my girls and they didnt. So now i get to spend the rest of my life going what if, what if . The babies all died in the space of just over a year and a half. We have an exclusive report. Also on the programme tonight a public show of unity but russia and america remain at odds tonight over the syria Chemical Attack and president assads future. Our view is that the reign of the assad family is coming to an end
