tweeted that time had called to say he was "probably" going to be named for the second year running. he said "probably was no good" and that he "took a pass." but time later said the president was incorrect about how it makes its choice. the magazine tweeted: "time does not comment on our choice until publication, which is december 6." a short time ago i spoke tojeff mason, the white house correspondent for reuters, and i asked him who he thought was telling the truth. well, i've is hard to way in on who is to the truth, because time has not given many details, but we can look at the history of how president trump has treated, and when he is upset about something, and would he said. in this case, it seems that he was upset that time magazine had said the uob man or the person of the year, and we wanted to interview you, and that was not good enough for him. this was a president who very publicly does not like dealing with slides. —— trump. it doesn't matter who comes from, he fights back. that is what he has done in this case again. time will name the person of the year on the sixth of december. what does it mean to a president? there have in previous presidents of the bus to have one. what is into a president to it?|j think it is a high honour and important designation. there have been world leaders and important public figures who have gotten that over the years. that said, it is just a magazine. we're not too at the nobel peace prize committee. so it is important, but perhaps the president is giving a bit more weight to it than some others would. that said, he does give a lot of weight to it, and he likes having the attention that comes with something like the designation of person of the year on time. and so if he feels there is some question about that, he makes those feelings known. he did when at last year, didn't he? he was the cover. he was on the cover last year. what did he make of it than? i think he was very pleased. he made a big deal of that then, andi pleased. he made a big deal of that then, and i think you probably would have made a big deal of it again this year if it added happened again. he said —— i think getting big time person of the year is not necessarily a high honour. people have been on that were not as positive things but negative things. that said, the criteria that time users is generally somebody who is the most influential person in that year. and no doubt donald trump has been very influential in terms of what happened but in the united states and locally in 2017. donald trump does like to paint himself as an antiestablishment figure. does this have anything to do with that, a rejection of that? well, that is a good question. i don't know. i think it isa good question. i don't know. i think it is a piece of years and cardiac. he has used twitter to go after organisations and to go after people and leaders when he has been upset about things. he has become because of his body gives the most transparent president of the united states in history. —— because of his 20 years. we were. he is thinking. whether that is strategic, whether it isa whether that is strategic, whether it is a vetting process them, i think sometimes it can be both. —— venting. that is integral two years asa venting. that is integral two years as a president. stay with us here on bbc news. still to come: a march in support of nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe, the nazanin —— british—iranian woman jailed in iran. president kennedy was shot down, and died almost immediately. the murder ofjohn kennedy is a

of the boomtown rats saw the tv pictures from ethiopia, he decided he had to do something. and he found his rock music friends felt the same. this is bbc news. the latest headlines: violent clashes between police and islamist demonstrators in pakistan's capital, islamabad. the government calls on the army to step in. as egypt buries victims of friday's mosque attack, investigators say the attackers were carrying the flag of so—called islamic state. well for more on that last story, earlier i spoke to 0rla guerin in cairo. she told me more about what we know about the attack. there has been no formal statement of responsibility, officials are saying that some of those who came to carry out the attack on the mosque and were carrying the black flag of the so—called islamic state. certainly, the attack there is a lot of their hallmarks. it was sophisticated, it was co—ordinated, it was carried out by a large number of attackers. we had notjust an explosive device being used to ring of gun men in position around the edge of the mosque targeting not just those who tried to flee from inside. but also the ambulance is that came to ferry them away. 0n occasions in the past, there has been a time lag between attacks taking place and i is claiming responsibility but even if they are responsible to this one, they may choose not to say so. it has caused an enormous amount of shock and revulsion in egypt. this kind of loss of life, loss of life on the scale of civilians and the killing of muslims in their place of worshipful top it is probably the case but if is was to come forward and claim it now, if they are behind it, they could expect to face considerable backlash and in those circumstances, they may choose to remain silent. we are hearing that president sisi has ordered the air strikes over the region. what more can you tell us about that? fighter planes were in the air within hours of the attacks taking place on the mosque. the military said they targeted vehicles that were being used by those who were involved in the attack. we don't know how they could have known that. they did say they killed the inside without saying how many. but many would say that the military strategy that president sisi has adopted in recent yea rs has president sisi has adopted in recent years has not really produced results so far, has not stopped the militants being able to carry out their attacks. there has been a large—scale egyptian their attacks. there has been a la rge—scale egyptian military operation in northern sinai for yea rs operation in northern sinai for years and at times the military say they've made progress, they regularly tell us they have killed dozens regularly tell us they have killed d oze ns of regularly tell us they have killed dozens ofjihadis, they have managed to confiscate arms, they have killed —— destroyed hideouts and so on that this doesn't appear to have been decisive in the battle. it has not stopped military groups like is being able to carry out attacks and not only being able to strike but as we saw yesterday, so tragically, being able to hit harder than they ever have before. all the gear and reporting. —— 0rla guerin. today is the international day for the elimination of violence against women, and thousands of protesters have taken to the streets around the world to call for an end to call for change. in turkey, about 2,000 women marched through istanbul's streets protest the government's gender policies. president tayyip erdogan has, in the past, said he did not believe in gender equality. there were also protests in france, where a woman is killed every three days at the hands of violence. president emmanuel macron said it is "france's shame", making gender equality one of the main themes of his leadership. juncal plazaola—castano is a policy specialist on violence against women for the united nations. thank you very much for being with us. what do you hope to achieve through this campaign? hello, and a good night, it is a pleasure to be with you. we hope to achieve greater awareness about the extent of the consequences of violence against women, i guess, consequences of violence against women, iguess, but consequences of violence against women, i guess, but we also hope to promote and open discussion among communities, among women, girls, boys and men around the world, about what we all can do to end violence against women. the end is in the hands of all of us. i understand there is about a0 countries to date it has no laws to dress domestic violence. that is pretty depressing, isn't it? yeah, it is, but we are hopeful that more and more countries apart in legislation or are revising their legislation to ensure that they are compliant with the international norms and standards that the states have agreed to so we know for example that in countries like lebanon orjordan have limited extensions in their legislation around rape before allowed or exempted perpetration is from court trials when they marry their victim. trinidad & tobago has for example increased the legal age of marriage to 18 and the same with malawi a couple of years ago so despite the number of countries that still don't have domestic violence policies, we are seeing progress around the world and in legislation and policies. what do you think of these much is happening around the world? so many are happening as we speak. do you believe there is momentum here, especially given the theme of this year ‘s sexual harassment being such a big issue? obviously, and i think with the need to campaign and also other campaigns and movements and women go into the streets today, so is unity of the women's unit and also around the fight to end violence against women around the world. it also shows the recognition that violent exist and continues and sexual harassment, verbal harassment happens in our everyday lives in the streets, in transport, in our workplaces. and so raising awareness and putting our voices together about it every day and survivors of women who have experienced it and also points the finger to the perpetrators. and those who need to be held accountable, who were those who commit violent acts. it seems extraordinary even in somewhere like france but a woman is killed every three days. at the hands of their domestic violence. how much progress domestic violence. how much progress do you think this can actually make toa do you think this can actually make to a woman's life? it has a great potential to make progress and we welcome all policies, legislation, national action plans around the world. but legislation and policies are only useful and can only help advance women's equality, gender equality, if they have a budget allocated to it, funds allocated to it, for its implementation and also from measurement, for measures to be able to assess the impact of those policies. also, these policies, legislation, national action plan, are useful if they are, offensive and not only services for survivors but also prevention. i'm so sorry, we are out of time but thank you so much for being with the bbc. thank you very much. the actress emma thompson has led a march in support of nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe, the british—iranian woman in jail in iran. she is accused of trying to overthrow the regime — charges she denies. alice hutton reports. # if you're happy and you know it, clap your hands.# nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe's favourite song, imprisoned in iran and unable to sing it with her own young daughter. 200 members of her community in west hampstead in london came out today to form a mum's protest. they were joined by local mum and oscar—winning actor emma thompson, who braved pneumonia to lend her voice to the protests. this is our community and one of our community has been imprisoned without trial, has been separated from her child more or less for 19 months. the situation is desperate. i'm not supposed to be out at all but i said to my doctor, "well, i can't not come to speak, because i am free." together, they marched to the nearby islamic centre of england to deliver a letter addressed to the supreme leader of iran, calling for nazanin's release. they have kindly taken the letters for us. really pleased with that. thank you to our muslim friends in the islamic centre of england. one person who did hear the voices was nazanin herself. she rang from prison in iran to thank them for their support, especially her husband, richard. i am so grateful for everyone. thank you so much. i am so grateful. i don't think i deserve him, to be honest. he has been amazing. thank you for all your support. thank you everyone from the bottom and top of my heart, i really feel the love. nazanin can feel the love — that is the most important thing, that's what keeps us going. with fresh charges and a new court date next month, this is a time of great anxiety for the ratcliffe family. today was all about local support and showing that nazanin might have dual british—iranian citizenship, but it is this community that she calls home. these pictures of a volcano in

was pretty much a cold day across the british isles and before that you have to think of supply of cold north—westerly wind coming between an area of low pressure off towards the north—east, high pressure down towards the south—west. and on that front of north—westerly is, quite a few showers across northern and western parts. if you have them overnight, ice could be a problem first thing on sunday, especially on untreated surfaces. here we are first thing on sunday, still the wind across the north—east of scotland, showers there, showers too coming through there, showers too coming through the north channel down across the irish sea into the north and west midlands thomas through the northwest of england. we will come back to those. further east or south, dry, fine, sunny, chilli to start off the new date and perhaps a little more in the way of cloud already at this stage across parts of the south—west and the far west of the south—west and the far west of wales. cloudy from the word go across northern ireland. this is all coming ahead of a set of weather fronts which make themselves known in northern ireland late on in the afternoon. the wind ahead of those fronts just afternoon. the wind ahead of those frontsjust beginning to afternoon. the wind ahead of those fronts just beginning to come a bit more westerlies and maybe not as cold as the north—westerly wind of saturday. but that the plight of showers i was talking about out of the irish sea could be a bother at burnley and at huddersfield, not such an issue at southampton, gloriously clear here. dalmarnock, the first signs of the cloud billing and from northern ireland. it will temper the sunshine then rob you of it all together through the afternoon. the evening, wet and windy piling its way across the british isles, notice the number of isobars there, a0 mile gust in land perhaps and on some of the western facing hills, 30— a0 millimetres of rain, buta facing hills, 30— a0 millimetres of rain, but a list this is mild air. so we had a spell of relatively mild conditions for the new week. but thenit conditions for the new week. but then it turns much colder and there will be a noticeable biting wind coming from the north. monday, a day of transition. it will take a while before we see the last of the overnight rain getting away from the south of england and wales. double—figure temperatures here. slowly but surely, once all of the fronts of move through, it allows those isobars to bend back into a much more northerly direction and a long night, that is the highway to the cold air to circulate its way down from nearly the arctic across all parts of the british isles. i am showing here the middle part of the week, cold air absolutely dominant. that extends probably towards next weekend. this is bbc news. here are the headlines: the government in pakistan has called on the army to send troops to the capital, islamabad, after battles between police and islamist protesters. several deaths have been reported and nearly 200 people have been injured. egyptian officials investigating the killing of more than 300 worshippers at a mosque in
