Time for sportsday. A top temperature 3a degrees celsius is recorded in heathrow. And pakistan avoid a shock defeat to afghanistan at the cricket world cup but onlyjust. Hello and welcome to sportsday, more on that and the rest with me olly foster of the days sport in and ben croucher. Sportsday at 6 30. Thanks forjoining us. Heres are your sportsday headlines. Pakistan leave it late in leeds to beat afghanistan at the cricket world cup. 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 620 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 620 summit of the worlds wealthiest nations essentially became a 62. 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. North korea has not yet said whether its leader, kim jong un, will meet donald trump when the us president visits the border between the two koreas on sunday. In what mr trump described as a spontaneous gesture, he said on twitter he could shake mr kims hand and say hello. Pyongyang said it hadnt received an official invitation from mr trump, but described his offer as interesting. Joining us now from exeter is aidan foster carter, a korea analyst at leeds university. Thank you forjoining us here on bbc news, whats your reaction to President Trump tweet . This is typical, we have gotten use to this extraordinary way of dealing diplomacy. Diplomacy is on the secret stuff that governments get behind the scenes, very carefully planned and managed an alley we have these tweets but i dont think its a holy face value. This idea that the visit after the 620 has been planned for weeks, and there has been passed that speculation from the that itll be easy to do something at that showbiz light, not substantial at that meeting, so they are planning something i guess we will know in a few hours time, maybe 3am right now that they are, but i think actually it wasnt. Everything takes planning especially with north korea. Interesting that you say its the new way of dealing diplomacy i guess thats it, its not diplomacy, its just a fabulous photo opportunity if the north korean president says yes. Photo opportunity if the north korean president says yeslj photo opportunity if the north korean president says yes. I fear thats right, in a way, its how no matter how deplorable and may think donald trump is, in the sort of long step korean situation, the very fact of having a summit like how substantial they were, you know, hes broken through some stuff, the trouble is you then have to eventually get to the substance, and we had this weird disconnect, you have this odd bromance between the leader of the free word free world q u ote leader of the free word free world quote unquote, and the least free state they, sending they love each other, but in the four months, north korea has refused any working meetings, they dont think that. Is been no progress at all, so that. Is been no progress at all, so it needs to move forward sometime, i guess if they do meet, thats better than nothing, but it would be pleasa ntries thats better than nothing, but it would be pleasantries which i suppose i better than unpleasantries if you remember how they used to talk about the little rocket mandated saline, but its a strange mixture really. Well of the leadership in hanoi be waiting at the you think . In pyongyang, sorry its very confusing i know. North korea, yeah, they be weighing up the well theres always a security issue, thats i think you can actually spring this on north korea, it would have to be slightly preplanned behind the scenes here at the theatrical, kim jong il and will be deciding whether hes got anything to lose by this, and clearly, as President Trump admitted, there is nothing more than admitted, there is nothing more than a photo op, will be more pleasantries, to a photo op, will be more pleasa ntries, to be a photo op, will be more pleasantries, to be frank, singapore a year ago was more than that too, hanoi was but as soon as they got to the committee, americans made a stupid offer in my view, telling and asking them to get everything up, which of course they werent going to do. See back whole thing, they will work out what it is anything to lose by this. But i think he doesnt have much to lose honestly, i would say if i would to place a bet i dont think its going to happen. You dont . Dont think its going to happen. You dont . I think probably not but that would be such a let down, wouldnt it but i draw my bet. You see, they had us talking about it though they have got nice but it would be a let down, because while im kinda used to them i guess. Would be a let down, because while im kinda used to them i guess. You might say that tweet at least does mean that some sort of contact between them. But, they found each other lovely letters and birthday letters, but what we actually want is this whole matter of disarmament, that same us president that which you from a perfectly reasonable detail agreement on this nuclear deal or preventing them from iran which he hates, somehow doesnt seem to violate that absolutely nothing at all has happened other than verbiage with north korea, i mean you talk about double standards, strange wild. Will have to wait and see just a few hours and will find out if your productions are correct or not. And well find out how this story and many others are covered in tomorrows front pages at 10 30 and 11 30 this evening in the papers. Our guests joining me tonight are the journalist and author, christina patterson, and katherine forster, a journalist at the sunday times. Back in the uk, the race to find theresa mays successor continues with two hustings taking place today. Jeremy hunt and borisjohnson have been in carlisle, taking questions from local Party Members but theyre about to face another audience in manchester. 0ur political reporter Claire Hamilton is where the second hustings is taking place. Claire, has there been a good turnout is there a buzz before this . Yes, yes, i mean, that saturday night in manchester is a big deal any day of the week or week of the year, but tonight, theres been a real buzz around this building which is why the hustings are taking place right now, they are going to start any minute now. Borisjohnson has already gone into the building about an hourago, and already gone into the building about an hour ago, and we cannotjust see the other candidate in the race, jeremy hunt coming towards the building now. 6etting jeremy hunt coming towards the building now. Getting a a smile as he walks towards and hands are being cheered by his supporters here, not just essential. A good Welcome Party for the foreign secretaryjeremy hunt here, in Central Manchester with his supporters before he takes to the stage this evening. Boris johnson i believejust took to the stage this evening. Boris johnson i believe just took the stage and started addressing that cloud right now in manchester stop dont worry i will tell you, we got nine points in the recent zero election, and we need to start to pick up. We got the Brexit Party Liberal Democrats both taking votes from a knife and a way they are feeding like giant puff balls on a sent that the kf trust in politics, and thats our problem but we cant solve it and i am here tonight to tell you we can turn this thing around, because we are going to do three important things, and the first, the absolute priority of course is to get brexit done. And to deliver on, do it, id do it by october the 31st. Get it done get over the line and very briefly what we need to do is make sure we look after our friends, european citizens are here in that country given rights, number two money we should suspend in a creative ambiguity ever talks until such time we get results we need, we sort out problems at the irish backstop and friction lend trade in the issues in the context where they belong which courses in free trade talks we will do that after we have left the eu on october 31. And we simultaneously get ready to prepare for no deal, prepare to come out on wto terms if we absolutely have to, i dont think thats where we end up for a second, but we have to get ready because we have to show our friends and partners we have confidence and we do, dont we, we believe it and we can do it and there are people as a plains wont fly a no clean Drinking Water and i read the other day the department of food said there will not be any glucose and whatnot for mars bars which children depend on and alli mars bars which children depend on and all i could say was i make a confident property whatever happens oii confident property whatever happens on november one planes will fly there will be clean Drinking Water and we will have adequate supplies of glucose and solids because where there is a well theres no way, and you can see that one coming, you can see it coming and then we can get on asa see it coming and then we can get on as a great confident conservative party uniting all wings of the party and im proud that i have more than half the Parliamentary Party already behind my campaign, with a vision for modern conservatives, that brings the whole country together and im not sure what i want to do with the whole country, i know im sure i know we are going to do what we we re sure i know we are going to do what we were able to do in london when i started 11 years ago, we had four of the six poorest burros anywhere in the six poorest burros anywhere in the country, when i ended eight years later, i step down after two terms, we had nine of those and what did we do we cut crime considerably, murder rate was down by 50 , we put fantastic infrastructure abridged the opportunity gap for people, the bottom got rich vastness of the biggest increases and life expectancy, and thats what we should do, and its our moral case, as conservatives that we believe in the free market and by the way i dont think we had said that loudly enoughin dont think we had said that loudly enough in the last two years, happily . We should champion it, we should champion the world of creators and business and precisely because its a good thing in itself of course, but also because it delivers the wealth that we need to pay for a fantastic infrastructure for investment in education and health all the things making our society wonderful in that in turn can make Business Confidence and give it to pop him to invest in a simple, isnt it, its simple modern conservative and its an idea we can sell it but we need to do now in this country is to apply roughly speaking the same kind of a formula, transport infrastructure. I want to be the Prime Minister who does all across rail at the north of what i did for the south in london, and otherwise deliberate, i want to be a Prime Minister who lets up education standards and educational spending around this country. I think its disgraceful that the Capital Spending has fallen back around so much of the country by comparison with whats happening in london, and we can lift it up, a final reflection. Boris johnson making his pitch to the second hustings of the day and we are expecting jeremy hunta the day and we are expecting jeremy hunt a little bit later trying to bring you some of the foreign secretary live as well. Time now for the headlines on bbc news. The us and china agree to resume talks to ease their trade war and speaking at the 620 summit in osaka President Trump says companies will be able President Trump also visits south korea north korea has not yet said whether its leader, kim jong un, will meet the us president when he visits the border between the two koreas tomorrow. The conservative Party Leadership candidates, Boris Johnson and jeremy hunt, go head to head at hustings in manchester. 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 and diminishing of 1s what as great a newspaper at the front page should be followed by title title from Civil Servants and people who dont know me or i dont understand me, iam who dont know me or i dont understand me, i am a very fit and healthy and very active person. I love what i do, i let my community andi love what i do, i let my community and i love being outdoors. The idea that Civil Servants should be briefing newspapers against an elected politician, against a respective government is something that should be very concerned to a lot of people. The Civil Service has to be independent, has to be nonpolitical, and has to be nonjudgmental of the politicians that they had a duty to serve in the future. And i would make that very clear to them all, if we are elected to government will come in with a Clear Programme and things we want to do in the country, for Housing Health education environment so many things, we will explain those to our collea g u es things, we will explain those to our colleagues in the Civil Service and expect them to carry out those policies. That is the way british 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.
