With temperatures soaring across southern england. A top temperature of 3a degrees celsius is recorded in heathrow. And pakistan avoid a shock defeat to afghanistan at the cricket world cup, but onlyjust. More on that and the rest of the days sport in sportsday at 6 30. Good afternoon. The United States and china have agreed to resume talks to ease the trade war between the worlds two largest economies. Us President Donald Trump and chinas president shejinping reached the agreement at the g20 summit injapan. Mr trump also said American Companies can once again sell products to the chinese tech giant hwah way, after an effective ban on such sales was introduced in may. From 0saka, nick bryant sent this report. This was the day when the g20 summit of the worlds wealthiest nations essentially became a g2. These talks between donald trump and xijinping, by far the most this was the day when the g20 summit of the worlds wealthiest nations essentially became a g2. These talks between donald trump and xijinping, by far the most consequential meeting of this global gathering. It ended with a ceasefire in the trade war, an agreement to restart talks that fell apart last month. But the us president made a major concession, lifting some restrictions on huawei, the chinese tech giant at the centre of whats felt like a commercial cold war. We had a very good meeting with president xi of china. Excellent, i would say excellent. As good as it was going to be. We discussed a lot of things, and we are right back on track. The other headline of the day, mr trumps impromptu invitation to kim jong un, via twitter, to meet him tomorrow at the demilitarised zone separating north and south korea. We wont call it a summit, well call it a handshake. If it does happen. I dont know that it will. But it could happen. I dont know, i think hed like to do it, and i wouldnt mind doing it at all. Im literally visiting the dmz. In another face to face with another autocratic leader, the saudi crown prince, mohammed bin salman, mr trump could hardly have been more complementary. Thank you, on behalf of a lot of people. And i want to congratulate you. Youve done a really spectacularjob. And he ignored questions about the murder of the saudi journalist Jamal Khasshoggi which Us Intelligence believes was ordered by the crown prince. Reporter mr president , will you address the murder of jamal khashoggi, sir . Uh. Thank you very much. This summit has highlighted a stark global divide between advocates of the post war liberal order and nationalists, such as Vladimir Putin, whos described it as obsolete. Its getting harder to tell which side the United States is on. From joking with Vladimir Putin about russia meddling in next years us president ial election to his cosiness with the saudi crown prince, donald trump has arguably shown more admiration here for authoritarian leaders than americas traditional allies. He arrived tonight in seoul for a preplanned dinner with south koreas president. But will he get his date at the dmz with his friend from the totalitarian north . Nick bryant, bbc news, 0saka. Theresa may has urged World Leaders to follow the uks target and eliminate Greenhouse Gas emissions by 2050, as donald trump was again left isolated on the issue. Speaking to journalists at the end of the g20 summit, mrs may said it was up to her successor to deliver an orderly deal for britain to leave the European Union. Heres our deputy political editor, john pienaar. Nothing sentimental about theresa mays last day at her last global summit. She met leaders often attacked over human rights briefed saudis Prince Mohammed bin salman on a court case that halted british arms sales, and met turkeys president erdogan, too. Critics would rather britain kept its distance. The uk is trying to reshape old relationships, and its not easy. Brexit wasnt on the agenda when mrs may met european leaders. She still seemed, somehow, out of place, no longer part of the in crowd. So where does britain sit in the world . I continue to believe that we are stronger when we work together. The uk has never been afraid to stand up for the global rules that underpin our values and our way of life. How important is leaving the European Union with a good deal to britains future as a Global Player . Ive always said that i think its best for the United Kingdom for us to leave in an orderly way, and that means leaving with a good deal. I believe that we negotiated a good deal, but parliament has not come to a majority supporting that deal, and it would be up to my successor to find a way of delivering. I believe that conservative Party Members, as with the majority of the public in the United Kingdom, want us to deliver on brexit. I believe they want us to deliver not just what that means in terms of leaving the eu, but the Brighter Future that we believe the uk can have outside of the European Union. Thats what i was working on, it is what my successor will work on. By the end of the month, mrs mays successor will have taken her place on the stage. But for the next leader, the challenge of managing the british economy, maintaining britains place in the world and wrestling with the defining problem of brexit will be no easier than it is now, and may be much harder. John pienaar, bbc news, 0saka. Back in the uk, the race to find mrs mays successor continues with two hustings taking place today. Jeremy hunt and borisjohnson have been in carlisle, taking questions from local Party Members but will soon face another audience in manchester. 0ur political reporter Claire Hamilton is where the second hustings is taking place. Borisjohnsonjust borisjohnson just getting into the building behind you, you spared the helicopter overhead. Absolutely, borisjohnsonjust got helicopter overhead. Absolutely, borisjohnson just got out of the carand borisjohnson just got out of the car and walked into the venue i had at the hustings which is going to start at seven oclock, and actually people were queuing up at five oclock to get into the building which is such the excitement here from conservative members and the northwest. Jeremy hunt we are expecting soon hes been in manchester this afternoon talking to members following the hustings this morning that took place and carlisle, and morning that took place and ca rlisle, and there morning that took place and carlisle, and there is a big sense of excitement here. Early in the week i spoke to some local conservative members in the northwest, who are hunting and harbouring about whether they come oi harbouring about whether they come or not but as days have gone on theyve been phoning say they will come tonight because they change their mind because i thought itll bea their mind because i thought itll be a discussion worth hearing. And i think maybe and that is people who thought that Boris Johnson was think maybe and that is people who thought that borisjohnson was a dead site and at last few days thought maybe jeremy dead site and at last few days thought maybejeremy hunt may have something more to say or more to campaign buti something more to say or more to campaign but i think its also a sense of being part of something, being part of making this huge decision at this absolutely critical time in british. Firsttime conservative Party Members have had a chance to choose not to supply a with that leader but especially the prime minister, so what about the prime minister, so what about the regional aspect of this, whats the regional aspect of this, whats the conservative presence in the northwest because many people will be aware ofjust the kind of great conservative history of the northwest of england and a city like manchester, but the fact now that antidepressant urban north, the presence is much diminished. Gas, and thats that keeps but i think in the northwest, the number of mps which are about 70 in the northwest, 50 of them are around labour Party Members and the rest are conservative with one liberal democrat, so you can see by looking at the numbers at the very labour dominated area and the cities of liverpool of manchester are very labour dominated, but if you go out to the countryside and the shires especially like chester, you see the conservatives have a much bigger presence and there is a lot more issues in those areas and a lot markets evidence support and those areas and obviously counsellors and counsellors as well, so whilst it might be that there isnt a huge amount of support in the big cities for the conservatives, there is and some of the other parts of the northwest. Clair hamilton dare at the Manchester Central convention centre. Can you still hear me or have we lost you i think he probably lost it because its quite difficult there with the wind catching the earpiece. We will talk to claire a little bit later in the evening, thank you very much. Jeremy corbyn has said hes shocked by reports that senior Civil Servants have questioned his mental and physical health. He was responding to an article in the times newspaper, which said senior figures in whitehall were concerned that he was too frail to serve as prime minister. And he raised concerns over the neutrality of the Civil Service. I think its nonsense that they have written this, and i think it diminishes of what was once a great newspaper at the front page should be full until title from civil serva nts be full until title from Civil Servants and those who dont know me or dont understand me. I am a very fit and very healthy and very active person. I love what i do and i love my community and i love being outdoors. The idea that civil serva nts outdoors. The idea that Civil Servants should be briefing this paper is against an elected politician, against a prospective government is something that should be very concerning to a lot of people, Civil Service has to be independent, has to be nonpolitical and has to be nonjudgmental. At the politicians that they have a duty to serve in the future. And i would make that very clear to them all, if we are elected to government, we will come in with a very prayer Clear Programme of things we want to do in the country, the housing for education and health and environment, so many things. We will explain those to our colleagues in the Civil Service and expect them to carry out this policy. That is the way it is democracy must work. Its been the hottest day of the year so far in the uk, with the highest temperature being recorded at heathrow in west london, where it hit 3a degrees. Despite the heat, temperatures havent quite reached thejune record set back in 1976 which was almost two Degrees Higher at 35 point six. Higher at 35. 6. 0ur correspondent Michael Cowan is in southend on sea. Yes, we have been here all day where its been an absolute scorcher, you can see behind me at five oclock, at the beach is still absolutely packed, the tigers got out the people i still swimming all day to deal with the heat and temperature have topped out at about 30 degrees, we spoke to locals about how are dealing with the heat heat. Keeping cool is not using the mercury rises, the sea helps, as does the breeze. We are in stop and on see, but is quintessentially british fish and chips, locals say its the busiest theyd seen the resort. But on the hottest day of the year sapphire, how are people here keeping called . The year sapphire, how are people here keeping called . Its very hot but we are staying cold with the breeze at the estuary intricate lots of water and whatever we can get a hold of a stop live lots of holes in my drive said the breeze can come and help me stop live keep sign cream on and hats on. Keep yourself cool cream on and hats on. Keep yourself cool. You have rented out these chest, how busy are you today . Busiest day of the year to be honest, easter was ok but this weekend is absolutely brilliant so nearly sold out on everything so thats how well we are dealing. Said nothing is left . Just a few but they are running out fast, best day ever. To mild, the mercury drops and will bring the country back to seasonal average. The british iranian woman, Nazanin Zaghari ratcliffe, who is currently serving a five year jail sentence in iran has ended her Hunger Strike. Shes been convicted of spying a charge she denies. Her husband richard ratcliffe, also ended his Hunger Strike outside the Iranian Embassy in london where he has been for the last 15 days. Heres what he told the bbc radio as, today programme this morning. I had a phone call this morning, and it is good news, she had decided to stop a Hunger Strike, so i will be stopping it, so good news. Good news for yourself but particularly for her . Thats quite right, it was getting hard for me, but im sure it is harder for her. She said she had had some breakfast this morning, a bit of porridge with some apple and banana, and im relieved, because we wouldnt have wanted to push it much longer. What has it achieved . Well, i think we will only know after it is finished. What we have had is lots of media attention. Weve had must be more than 100 mps who have come down to visit and show solidarity, and the media from around the world have been aware of her case. I think in iran we have come a much bigger story than we were before, and there is an awareness that this needs to be solved. You have really got under the skin of the iranians, particularly the diplomats here in london. We have certainly got them cross, perhaps more than i was expecting, so in the early days they put up a fence to block us off, and then tweeting them, they were trolling us on social media, and various articles claiming i was breaking the vienna convention. But the idea was to bring the problem to their doorstep, so im glad that happened. And the politicians you mentioned who have visited you, quite a wide variety, including jeremy corbyn. What was your conversation with him . He stayed for about 40 minutes, brought his wife, talked about his own experience of being on protest, suggested that he would go and try and liaise with the Iranian Ambassador to see what could be done. That is interesting, because he of course in the past has worked for press tv, which is the propaganda arm of the iranian regime. He obviously has a potential ability to talk directly to them. Do you expect that now to happen . He said he had also been to iran as part of the parliamentary delegation with others, so, yes, i will meet up with him later next week, when i have had a meal and been to a e and get checked. So your expectation when you follow up with him is what . I think my first expectation would be to go and meet with tulip who is our mp, and see with all that wealth of concern in parliament what we can do in the next few weeks. The speaker came down and said, listen, if there is anything we can do, let us know. The headlines on bbc news. The us and china agree to resume talks to ease their trade war and speaking at the g20 summit in osaka President Trump says companies will be able to trade with huawei. President trump also visits south korea, north korea has not yet said whether its leader, kimjong un, will meet the us president when he visits the border between the two koreas tomorrow.

Theyll be following in the footseps of stormzy, who last night became the first solo black british artist to headline glastonbury festival. 0ur entertainment correspondent, lizo mzimba, is there. Well a short time ago i asked him if hed managed to catch any of that set. I saw some but not all of it, but yes, expectations were high and he seemed to fulfil everything, so lots of pressure on the next two days of the festival, and who better to ask than regular festivalgoers, so the festival, and who better to ask than regularfestivalgoers, so last night stormzy went down a storm forgive the pun, but is it living up to expectation this year .
