Rights, it means we all have. And scientists discover the oldest modern human fossil ever found outside africa. Three days after the contents of his scathing diplomatic cables about donald trump were published in a sunday newspaper, and a day after the president said he would no longer have anything to do with him, the uk ambassador to the United States has resigned. Sir kim darroch said in a letter to the Foreign Office the Current Situation is making it impossible for me to carry out my role as i would like. The head of britains Diplomatic Service has been speaking to parliament about Donald Trumps refusal to work with a British Ambassador. This is not the first time a British Ambassador has left post. But, or resign because of. Actions taken by host government, but usually, they are governments with who we have problematic relations rather than friendly relations. And even then, had there been many occasions in your experience where there has been refusal to work with the british, complete refusal by head of state to work with the British Government . I know ive not. Many politicians in the uk have said how troubled they are by kim darrochs resignation, including the Prime Minister. The whole cabinet rightly gave its full support to sir ken on tuesday. He has given a lifetime of service to the United Kingdom and we owe him an enormous debt of gratitude. Theresa may will not be Prime Minister much longer. In two weeks she will be replaced by one of these two men, Boris Johnson orjeremy hunt. According to the daily mails Political Editor friends of Sir Kim Darroch say he decided the game was up last night after borisjohnson refused to back him during a live tv debate. It is vital that our Civil Servants are not politicized by ministers leaking what they say. Whoever lea ked leaking what they say. Whoever leaked that deserves to be eviscerated. Boris, just answer the question, tell less appeal to the ambassador, come on. No one here is going to tell anyone, just tell if the answer. You wouldnt extend his term . I will keep him until he is due to did retire we want to know of you would . I will not be so presumptuous. This is the view of the Financial Times chief Political Correspondent make no mistake, the resignation of Sir Kim Darroch is a historic moment and not in a good way, this is an ominous precedent. Heres a former british diplomat whos worked in the us, explaining why. Washington is a uniquely sensitive place. I think its more there than anywhere else because of our relationship at the us and the importance of post brexit trade agreement, and of course personality of the us president. But more generally, you are right of course, there is a chilling effect. Its already existed but there will be one on getting frank advice until you can be absolutely certain it wont be leaked in some way. And create problems for the country and the ambassador in particular. So i think already we are in a situation where future generations of researchers will not find a treasure trove of information in the archives when they come to look at happen 30 yea rs i when they come to look at happen 30 years i because people will be very relu cta nt to years i because people will be very reluctant to put things down on paper. Serious questions are being asked about who was responsible for leaking sir kims emails to the media. Heres a for us diplomat explaining why. 0ur our focus should be on 0urfocus should be on how our focus should be on how did the lea k our focus should be on how did the leak happen, is that a disgruntled employee . , leak happen, is that a disgruntled employee . , with the leak happen, is that a disgruntled employee . , with the political agenda oi employee . , with the political agenda or hostile government seeking to undermine the us anglo relations . And if so, being what right does that. We have to address that, but also whats the purpose of the media and publishing this . So i know freedom of press and expression, but this goes beyond this. There is no inherent need for the public to know about secret cables, in fact it goes against public interest. The public should one to read my to be able to communicate freely. So i think there should be some reflection on whether the media should consider that when they receive Something Like this, if its not whistle blower situation, that they should think twice before publishing it. Sir simon mcdonald, who we heard from earlier, has written a reply to Sir Kim Darrochs resignation letter. It reads on behalf of the Diplomatic Service, i accept your resignation with deep personal regret. You were the target of a malicious leak; you were simply doing yourjob. We have been lucky to have you as a friend and colleague. You were the best of us. Its a view shared by this former uk ambassador to the us. Iam i am really sorry and i am also extremely angry that a good man has been brought down by a terrible leak of highly classified documents and bya of highly classified documents and by a president as vindictive and spiteful as darroch said he was and is highly confidential classified communications. By the way, it is not donald trump plus plus get to say who the British Ambassador should be. He could certainly make life impossible for him if he wants to, and he has done this, with darroch, but we should take a measured decision on who should be the right person to represent and not the american interest, not donald trump interest, but that british interest in the United States and we have to recognise that the british interest does not always coincide with the american interest. Lets go live to washington, and speak to anthony zurcher. Although, watching your twitter feed, i was reading you said not a lot of americans engaged at that synapse showed up at opinions that its deathly talking point on this side of the pond, but do you think this will have ramifications for the us uk relationship . Well, now that theissue us uk relationship . Well, now that the issue has essentially been resolved at least on the Trump Administration standpoint, it probably will be in the rear view mirror. As a statement that i the department of state yesterday that this relations between us and uk is bigger than any one individual, bigger than any one individual, bigger than any one individual, bigger than anyone government, and so bigger than anyone government, and soi bigger than anyone government, and so i think the view of this administration is now that the ambassador is out of the picture, the special relationship can continue to stop there will be lasting effects clearly and theyll have to deal at that, but when donald trump gets what he wants which is the removal of the ambassador, and he will be satisfied i think at this point. Its quite interesting, we thought Boris Johnson and his Leadership Debate, demand is a front runner for the next Prime Minister, i did not back some darroch and people thought that was that death note. But what you think these elite cables and e mails, the president so much . Donald trump likes to style himself ofa donald trump likes to style himself of a counterpunch or when criticised and pushes back the yes his response was particularly the suppressed, been part of the read it reason is that donald trump time and type again, he has talked about how he making america at respected again on the world stage and that it wasnt under previous president s and he is restoring the american greatness overseas and foreign leaders tell him all the time about what a great job is doing, will you not tangible evidence here from you in advance or not from any country but the us plus my closest allies saying best dysfunction and chaotic so it under cuts to claims. Anthony, thank you but stay with this because i want to bring another story i know youve also been following. In the last few moments the us labour secretary alex acosta has been holding a press conference. Hes defending himself over his past role in striking a plea deal with billionaire financierjeffrey epstein. Mr acosta was a federal prosecuter in 2008 when mr epstein pleaded guilty to prostitution charges. Democrats have called the plea deal quote amoral. Heres what mr acosta had to say. 0ne one of the tough questions in these cases, what does that value at the ac carried guilty plea . With the registration. Braces rolling the dice. And i know that in 2019 looking back on 2008, things may looking back on 2008, things may look different. But this was at the judgement of the prosecutors with dozens judgement of the prosecutors with d oze ns of judgement of the prosecutors with dozens of yea rs judgement of the prosecutors with dozens of years of experience. If you look to the letter, you will see its not a Single Person making those decisions. Lets go live to washington, and speak to anthony zurcher. So, mr epstein, a name that our view have come across i so, mr epstein, a name that our view have come across i know american euros have been watching closely, acosta speaking there and getting the press conference, why did he need to do that . Well because he was coming under increased criticism from democrats and in the victims themselves at his handling of the prosecution at epstein, the plea agreement and the sealed plea agreement and the sealed plea Agreement Agreement he reached, derek critics saying it was letting him off lightly. 13 months in prison with a work release six days a week, and allowing him to go to his office and allowing him to go to his office and then back on the streets, debuted that with evidence they had for more than 30 underage girls at Sexual Misconduct and rain, that he should have pursued that prosecution vigorously. How much interest is there in this case . Is a huge amount of interest. We talk about the ambassador story, i was getting mentioned but the epistemic case is stealing all the headlines. Alex acosta is trying to explain away things were different back then than they are now and he didnt want to roll the drive dice a prosecution but the question is will it lower the heat on them and it probably will not because hes a direct tie to the administration and brings politics into it, this is a horrendous sex offence case, it has all the ingredients to really ca ptu re all the ingredients to really capture the interest of the american public. Anthony, thank you so much for bringing us up to date. Theres been a major shock in the cricket world cup. New zealand have knocked out the favourites india in the semi final. Huge celebrations from new zealand fans mammoth disappointment for millions of indian supporters. England play australia on thursday to see who takes on new zealand on sunday. Todays match took place at old trafford near manchester, joe wilson was there. What an incredible day here, and he admitted 2112 in the semifinal and new zealand started so well taking three quick wickets and then a partnership, but it looked like it may take india to victory but didnt happen in the end. And, you are there inside. What happened to india . I think the early lots of virat made a difference had been there it was the team, the score was difficult. In any case, i think new zealand, i wish england also comes to the finals because none of them had, neither had won the world cup at least when dad, we have had it once. Thats very gracious, of course both are playing tomorrow, by 242 course both are playing tomorrow, by 2112 when a well kept semifinal. Course both are playing tomorrow, by 242 when a wellkept semifinal. That is very, very easy but still disappointed it happens.

The defeat is a massive shock for india. Shortly after the match finished 6 of the top 10 hashtags trending worldwide were related to the match. And the top 4 were all about the cricket.

Lets go to delhi the bbcs divya arya is there. Its been a disappointing day to say the least. And was high expectation from this match, everyone thinking in was the clear favourite, this was a strange match, it was a one day spread over two days, and we saw empty spread over two days, and we saw e m pty rows spread over two days, and we saw empty rows into sword deserted roads yesterday and today, people stayed back from work or stayed late into work and gloat glue to mobile phones watching every ball waiting with keen anticipation. I have heard analysis about how they could affect the chances and even if the weather where going to rain for today or the whole match was washed out orjust a few over, there was a huge interest. And of course, huge disappointment because it was a very, very keenly thought contest. The reaction started pouring in on twitter as soon as it ended in fact, the press people to react what the indian Prime Minister, narendra modi, he congratulated the team on valiant efforts through the well kept coming to the stage, and he said that winning and losses are something we take in stride and not be disappointed, thats easier said than done though. They will be lots of disappointed people coming to bed tonight, and india of course there are two more matches to watch, but clearly indian stat chances in the well kept after winning the trophy twice earlier had come to a sad end. Cipro my colleagues as well. Stay with us on 0utside source still to come. Scientists we look back at the iconic car history. This is 0utside source live from the bbc newsroom. 0ur lead story is.

Thousands of people lined the streets of new york to celebrate the us womens football team, fresh from their triumph at the world cup. 0n the eve of the parade, the team captain, megan rapinoe, launched a ferocious attack on President Trump, saying his message was to exclude people. The german chancellor Angela Merkel has insisted she is fine after being seen shaking for a third time in a month. It happened as National Anthems were being played at the reception of the finnish Prime Minister. At a press conference shortly after mrs merkel said she was in a phase of processing a previous shaking spell but that there had been progress. Thats our most read on the website. Wall street has rallied after comments by the Federal Reserve, chairjerome powell. Hes said, that the us economy is not immune to global risks like trade wars and slowing growth around the world. The fed is ready to act as appropriate leading to speculation, that a rate cut, may come at the end of the month. Samira hussain is in new york. The two happy back on outside source, why is it important . This is important because if the Federal Reserve decides to cut Interest Rates, but i dont mean there is a lot more free flowing money available to go to stock markets, usually bonds are the more attractive avenue in terms of long term investing. But if Interest Rates are low, it means how much money people can make on bonds that will be lower and that makes stock look more attractive and thats why every time you get a sent that a sense perhaps theres a cut in Interest Rate you see stock markets in the United States hit record highs. In fact, in the United States hit record highs. Infact, two in the United States hit record highs. In fact, two of the three main indices had hit record highs based on this testimony. Now thats something that president will also talk about, but this is something he was looking for, a rate cut to try and bring the economy to a stronger position in his eyes. Absolutely, but it really put the chair at Federal Reservejerome powell in a difficult position. This is a political position so hes not taking any sort of political ideas are pressured into consideration, but there is no doubt us President Donald Trump was putting or is putting political pressure on mr pollock. In fact, putting political pressure on mr pollock. Infact, during putting political pressure on mr pollock. In fact, during his testimony to members of congress, he was asked what he would do if the president asked him to resign and he said he would certainly fight back. A clear sign he does not want to bow to political pressure, but ultimately if that Federal Reserve is cutting Interest Rates, thats somewhat like the president getting what he wants. Thank you very much. Always interesting to hear from you speaking from new york. The us aviation regulator came in for a lot of cri
