Is not for sale. More allegations about prince Andrews Links with the convicted sex offenderJeffrey EpsteinBuckingham Palace says any suggestion of impropriety with minors is categorically untrue. Live from our studios in london and singapore, this is bbc world news. Its newsday. Its 1 00am here in london, 8 00am, in singapore and 2 00am in the morning in berlin where borisjohnson began his first foreign trip as Prime Minister. On thursday, he goes to paris. Mrjohnson wants european leaders to change the deal agreed with his predecessor, theresa may. The eu response has been firm until now not a chance. Chancellor Angela Merkel greeted him with smiles, but warned him he only has 30 days to come up with an alternative. 0ur Political Correspondent ben wright is in berlin. Another Prime Minister arrives in berlin to demand more concessions on brexit. Prime minister, are you hopeful of a deal . Its a familiar tune, but this time the deadlock is stark, and its Boris Johnson receiving the red carpet, here to tell the german chancellor that the deal hammered out between theresa may and the eu must change. 0therwise, mrjohnson insists, the uk is leaving with no deal at the end of october and claims theres nothing mps can do to stop it. Berlin would not have been surprised to hear borisjohnsons condition for a deal, that the irish backstop, intended to prevent a hard border on the island of ireland after brexit, be scrubbed altogether from the Withdrawal Agreement. But eu leaders say the deal is closed. So, what would one of europes most powerful leaders have to say to the man who led the uks campaign to leave . Before dinner, they spoke at the chancellery. We cannot accept the current Withdrawal Agreement, arrangements that either divide the uk or lock us into the regulatory and trading arrangements of the eu, the legal order of the eu, without the uk having any say on those matters. So we do need that backstop removed. My so we do need that backstop removed. My first question to the Prime Minister, please. But, mrjohnson, the eu says it will not renegotiate the Withdrawal Agreement under any circumstances, so are you prepared to compromise, or is this trip simply posturing before you blame the eu for a no deal brexit . Yes, of course, i think there is ample scope to do a deal. And ive explained pretty clearly, i think, what needs to happen. We need to re m ove think, what needs to happen. We need to remove those elements of the Withdrawal Agreement that simply dont work for the uk. I have spoken of the things that are sensible, the protection of the rights of eu nationals. And chancellor merkel, the Withdrawal Agreement was defeated in Parliament Three times in britain. It has been buried by borisjohnson. Why wont you reopen it in the few weeks that are left, or do you see the brexit crisis now as the uks problem to solve . Translation the backstop has always been a fallback position. If one is able to solve this conundrum, if one finds this solution, we say we said we will probably find it in the next two years to come, but we can also maybe find it in the next 30 days to come. Thank you very much. We need to go to work now. Borisjohnson Boris Johnson and angela borisjohnson and Angela Merkel are now discussing the differences face to face over dinner. The first of many to come. Ben wright, bbc news, berlin. Lets take a look at some of the days other news. President trump has increased his attacks on denmark, after its Prime Minister called the us president s interest in buying greenland absurd. Denmark looks after greenlands defence and foreign affairs. It was one of several issues President Trump has commented on, as nick bryant reports. Its resources rich and strategically well placed, and americas property tycoon president has long seen greenland as a prized piece of geopolitical real estate. But even though he jokingly promised in a tweet this week not to build a trump tower on this barren landscape, the danish Prime Minister described his interest in buying its territory as absurd. So no longer did the president see the funny side, and announced via twitter that hed cancelled next months visit to copenhagen. I thought it was not a nice statement the way she blew me off, because shes blowing off the United States. And we treat countries with respect, she shouldnt treat the United States that way saying what an absurd she said absurd thats not the right word to use. Absurd. The invitation to visit denmark had come from the royal household, which said it had been completely blindsided by the president s late night announcement. The countrys new centre left Prime Minister sounded dumbfounded. It is with regret and surprise that i received the news that the President Trump has cancelled his state visit to denmark on the second and third of september. I had been looking forward to the visit, our preparations were well under way. And this was the reaction of her mild mannered compatriots. I heard it was because he couldnt buy greenland, so if hes that stupid, i think its good that hes not coming. Greenland is for the greenland people. And nobody else. It all has the feel of a summer silly season story, but the ongoing trade war with china is more serious. And today prompted this extraordinary president ial claim. So somebody excuse me somebody had to do it. I am the chosen one somebody had to do it. So im taking on china, im taking on china on trade, and you know what . Were winning, because were the piggy bank. But even the president of the United States doesnt divine powers. And right now hes finding it hard to bend the world to his will. He can summon his green helicopters at a moments notice, but is finding it much harder to get his hands on greenland. Nick brown, bbc news, washington. Also making news today thousands of people have protested at a subway station in hong kong. They were unhappy that no one has yet been prosecuted for an attack by a mob on the same subway station last month. Masked protesters clashed with police in the demonstration at yuen long station.

The Trump Administration has announced it wants to allow us officials to detain migrant families indefinitely while judges consider whether they can remain in the country. The department of Homeland Security said it would scrap a longstanding legal ruling that only allows Migrant Children to be detained for less than 20 days. By eliminating the incentive to make the journey to the United States as a family, the new rule will reduce the unprecedented volume of family units that is straining the already limited resources of our department components, and put children throughout the region at risk. The scale of this crisis has required us to ask a tremendous amount of our Border Patrol agents and cbp officers as they have stepped up. Them to rededicate resources and time to stopping criminals at the border, the job they signed up to do. And fourth, the new rule will protect children by reducing incentives for adults, including human smugglers, to exploit minors in the dangerous journey to our border. Using them to beat the system and be released into the United States. Well our north america correspondent david willis has been following the story he gave this update. Immigration reform is a signature issue for the Trump Administration. But attempts to quell the numbers amassing at south western border have proved largely futile and indeed figures there suggest that the highest number of people convening on the border for ten years. Now President Trump has tried various measures to tackle that problem. And this latest one amounts to basically abolishing the time limit, the limit for children to be detained at the border. Currently, that time limit, ben, is 20 days. Under the changes that are proposed, children and their families, by default, could be held indefinitely, basically, until their cases are dealt with and they are either granted asylum or deported from the country. Now, the acting head of Homeland Security, Kevin Mcaleenan has said this will improve the integrity of the Us Immigration system, as he puts it. But critics have condemned the move and nancy pelosi, the speaker of the house, she says that amounts to codified child abuse. The American Civil Liberties union, for their part have said that this move, were it to become law, would lead to more children being detained for longer, ben.

The death of the financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in prison in new york this month has seen attention turn to some of his high profile connections, including Prince Andrew. The bbc has seen Court Documents in which the pilot of epsteins private jet has claimed the prince travelled with him, and with Virginia Roberts, a 17 year old who accused epstein of trafficking her. Buckingham palace has said the Court Documents are inconsistent and emphatically denied that the prince had any form of sexual contact or relationship with Virginia Roberts. Heres our royal correspondentjonny dymond. One set of relationships, so many repercussions. The prince has his arm around Virginia Roberts, 17 at the time. It was her court case against ghislaine maxwell, on the right, that brought todays allegations. At the heart of it, this billionaire businessman, Jeffrey Epstein, who took his own life in detention 11 days ago. He was convicted in 2008 for sex offences. Epstein was alleged to have trafficked underage girls, both for himself and for his circle. Here he is in 2010, and here is Prince Andrew in epsteins house, just two years after the businessmans criminal conviction. Epstein was a highflyer with a private jet. In Court Documents seen by the bbc, the private jets pilot is that several times Prince Andrew travelled with Virginia Roberts and Jeffrey Epstein. The pilot gives dates and locations. Curious company for the queens second son. The palace has pushed back hard. The fact that some of the dates and locations in this are wrong does cast doubt over the claim. Its also not evidence thats been put into a court of law with cross examination. When it was released, it came with something of a Health Warning from the court. But there are more papers to come, and alongside the video released earlier this week, todays allegations are a reminder of, at best, a terrible error ofjudgement. Jonny dymond, bbc news.
