Is honesty really the best policy . Hello, and welcome. Us President Donald Trump has reacted angrily to the news that iranians forces have shot down a us drone over the strait of hormuz. He said iran had made a very bad mistake. Iran insists the Unmanned Aircraft was flying over its territory and says it has now retrieved parts of the drone from its territorial waters. Gary odonoughue explains. The us and iran agree on one thing that an american drone was shot down by iran. What they disagree on is where it happened. This pentagon footage claims to show it was over International Waters, 21 miles off irans coast. The iranians say it was in their airspace. The president s Immediate Response on twitter iran made a very big mistake. But, during a meeting in the oval office with the canadian Prime Minister, justin trudeau, he was definitely toning it down. It was a mistake made by somebody that shouldnt have been doing what they did. I think they made a mistake, and im notjust talking the country made a mistake. I think that somebody under the command of that country made a big mistake. Pressed on what his response would be, though. Youll find out, youll find out. This is just the latest in a series of recent incidents that have inflamed tensions around the strait of hormuz, which carries 20 of the Worlds Oil Production from the persian gulf to the open sea. Last week, the us accused iran of being behind attacks on two oil tankers, accusations the iranians deny. On wednesday, in an increasing war of words and actions, the us invited journalists to examine the fragments of the mines they say were used to cripple the two tankers, and last month, four other tankers were attacked while moored off the united arab emirates. Again, the us pointed the finger at iran. Irans leaders have insisted they are not seeking war, but would defend their borders. On monday, they announced that they would soon pass the agreed limits for low enriched uranium under the denuclearisation treaty that President Trump withdrew from last year. It is a move that could drive an even deeper wedge between america and europe, which still supports the original deal, and whose companies are facing major sanctions for doing business with iran. Gary odonoughue, bbc news washington. Our correspondent has more on the political reaction in congress. I get the impression really from many inside of congress, right across republicans and democrats that they want to see something of a measured response. An increasing feeling that there should be retaliation of the sort but they do not want something that is going to lead to a war and democrats, in particular, have been warning that as far as they are concerned, unless there is a strategy taken that avoid some kind of conflict, President Trump could bumble into war, the words of leading democrats in the senate, chuck schumer. You could argue these countries have been a collision course for quite some time ever since President Trump took the decision to leave the iran nuclear deal. We have had these attacks in the past couple of weeks on the tanks. There are concerns about protecting that important shipping route in the strait of hormuz. They need to send a message to iran but at the same time just ensuring this does not get out of hand which is the real concerns about democrats and republicans. President trump seems to be leaving some sort of room to de escalate the situation by referring to a possible error. How much can we read into his response . I think there is no doubt that President Trump has been very careful with his words. Yes, he did say that iran had made a big mistake yet at times he suggested that perhaps this was not an intentional act by iran but frankly, if you take a look at the statement that they have given to the un iran is making no bones that they did this and they did this for a reason that the drone was in iranian airspace and regarded it as an hostile act. What they do not want war, they say they are determined to vigorously defend theirland, airand sea. Now i think the danger for President Trump will leave some inside the administration and perhaps others outside of it, for example saudi arabia, that perhaps the us needs to take a harder line when it comes to iran. John bolton, for example, President Trumps advisor, has been pushing him to take a much tougher line with tehran and i think people will be saying that again, particularly after this downing of the drone.

Crowds have tried to storm the building after Sergei Gavrilov occupied the spea kers chair and addressed the government in russian. Protesters have been injured in the violence.

I am here to protest russian involvement and the politics of my country. I am here because i have been alive for 25 years and have not lived in a fully independent country yet. I think this is the peaceful expression of the protesters to show that we will not tolerate russian expansion into georgia and rationalisation of georgia. It lost a brief war with russia in 2008. Memories of russian tanks moving in and ousting georgian troops still fresh in the mind 11 years on. As protesters clash outside, politicians clashed inside. The Prime Minister acknowledging the right to protest by condemning the violence, blaming aggressive groups for the clashes. In tblisi tonight, as protesters fight with police, the presence of a russian politician in parliament is another symbol of what demonstrators see as the unacceptable presence of russians on georgian soil.

The race to become the next british Prime Minister is now down to two men, after a day of drama at westminster. Brexit campaigner, Boris Johnson, will go head to head with foreign ministerjeremy hunt, with mrjohnson the favourite to win next month. Our Political EditorLaura Kuenssberg reports from westminster.

Well, i am the underdog in this race. Ive been the underdog right from the start, and i like to prove people wrong. And the way that im going to win this race is by showing that the best way to brexit is by sending the European Union a Prime Minister that they will engage with. Man shouting boris stop the next battle is away from here. Mrjohnson is the frontrunner, but both men will be put through their paces by tory members beyond these gates. Thejohnson camp reckon mr hunt is an easier opponent though, than what might have been. With michael gove only two votes behind. Thank you very much, thank you. No surprise there are whispers of foul play. Look, im sorry, because i think michael was the best candidate. So what do we know about the two who are now rivals . They worked together for years, here at the london olympics. They both went to oxford. Theyve both even been the foreign secretary. But, crucially for tory members, jeremy hunt campaigned for remain, borisjohnson a brexiteer.

The main headline President Trump says iran made a great mistake shooting down a us drone, but says it might not have been intentional. There have been violent clashes between riot police and protesters in the georgian capital, after a controversial visit by russian mps. Hundreds of people have gathered in hong kong after a deadline set by protest groups for the government to com pletely protest groups for the government to completely abandon an unpopular extradition bill expired. The bbcs laura westbrookjoins us from hong kong. What has been happening . Laura westbrookjoins us from hong kong. What has been happening7e protesters have been steadily streaming into Hong Kongs Legislative Council complex since early this morning, and just in the last few minutes, they have since moved to the road which is next to the complex. It is one of the main thoroughfares in hong kong. It is also the scene of the 2014 umbrella movement, or the occupy central movement, or the occupy central movement, where protesters occupied that area for 79 days. They are there once more, and most of them are wearing black. They are also carrying masks and goggles. Police have been diverting traffic, because they have effectively stopped traffic. I was there on monday, actually, when protesters were occupying that space, and they cleared that space voluntarily on monday morning. It looks like now they are back, and they are back because they say the government is not listening to them. They want this controversial extradition bill withdrawn. It was suspended, but they believe it might come back. And i think what you are seeing now is the fact that they arent letting this go. They are going to be there until the government listens to them. Laura, do we know who these protesters are . So the bill that was. The announcement last night was. The announcement last night was given by six student unions, and they said that they gave those demands to the government and organised this protest this morning. And those demands were that the bill be withdrawn. They are also demanding that people who were arrested after last wednesdays clashes with police be released and the charges dropped against them. They also want the classification of last wednesdays clashes not to be called a riot, because of the legal consequences of that, and they want an independent enquiry into allegations of Police Brutality after wednesdays clashes. The government has so far ignored their demands. The Legislative Council has cancelled a meeting today, and the government headquarters has also closed today because of security concerns. So the protesters, they did say that they would escalate their demands, and it looks like they are now occupying that main thoroughfare that runs through the centre of hong kong, and they are doing just that. Thank you very much. At least 1,000 people have died in madagascar, most of them are children, since a Measles Outbreak in october. A recent Vaccination Campaign by aid agencies has contained the outbreak, but it is far from over. Parents in madagascar are keen to get their children vaccinated, but the Health Services are overstretched. It is the only clinic for kilometres. Some have walked more than two hours to get here. They were scared and wanted to get their babies vaccinated against measles. With only one doctor for 11,000 people, no journey or wait is too long. This little boy is nine months old. His mother tells me she is trying to keep him healthy, but over 1,000 people have died, and most of them children. A Mass Campaign has contained the disease for now, but it is notjust about the vaccines, there are still long term problems. You have 50 of the children under five years suffering from chronic malnutrition. Measles aggravates this malnutrition. And, in the context of malnutrition, we have frequent complications or infections that add to the measles. Madagascar is one of the poorest countries in africa. Poverty and malnutrition here have made diseases like measles, which would be easy to treat elsewhere, deadly. It is a vicious cycle. Many communities are isolated, and the infrastructure is poor. Another challenge is delivering vaccines to help control the outbreak. Sometimes they had to be carried by foot, and they became less effective. For some, the Campaign Came too late. This couple say they werent aware of the measles vaccine. Their ten month old son was one of five children who died in this village. Translation at first, he got a fever and started coughing. We immediately thought he had measles, so we took him to a doctor, and he seemed to get better. But the next day, he was unwell again, so we took him to another hospital and th
