Tuesday and then high pressure will build and bringing some good weather

and sunshine. Hello, I'm Karin Giannone -

have been impossible as well. and Ukraine as well as Russian

week's general election. And if you want to get

the Russian president today. Despite the sweltering

weather this meeting held a touch of frost

from At the entrance to France's

Versailles Palace the two leaders greeting each other

with brief handshakes and small grim Two hours later after their first

meeting the mood was if France and Russia have

backed different groups President Macron said

that while France did not want to destabilise the Syrian

state there were red lines that TRANSLATION: I stress

again in my meeting with President Putin there is a clear red

line and exists on our part, the use of chemical weapons

by whoever it may be. The use of chemical weapons will be

the object of immediate retaliation on the part

of the French. The two leaders are also divided

over the situation and Ukraine the Russian

president said condemning the sanctions imposed

in the country as a result

of the crisis. TRANSLATION: Sanctions

against Russia are not helping to find a solution to

the crisis in Ukraine. We must try to lift this

economic restrictions. It is the only way we can

be more free and be Mr Putin also appeared to deny any

Russian interference in France's recent presidential race

despite allegations by Macron's team that Russian agents has tried

repeatedly Mr Macron himself

strongly defended the banning of two Russian media outlets

from covering his campaign, describing them as

agents of propaganda. This choice of venue

and the inauguration of a new exhibition here of 300

years of Franco Russian ties is meant to highlight the long

relationship between the two But more recent events have made

this a stiff and awkward Earlier I spoke to BBC

Russian's Olga Ivshina, and Alexander Seale, a journalist

who specialises in French politics. It was an important meeting because

it was President Macron's first meeting with President Putin. It was

interesting to see how both men were talking to each other. I think

Vladimir Putin, if you watch the press conference today, he looked

quite tense, because Macron criticised Russia and President

Putin today. What did you make of it? Both sides are doing

reconnaissance. They are trying to assess, trying to understand. They

are looking to the future. If we remember the last meeting between

Angela Merkel and President Putin, not that long ago, both sides were

disappointed with each other, definitely nervous, but this one was

not that bad, was not that tense. Of course it was not easy for both

sides, especially for Mr Putin, but it was not tense. There is some hope

for both sides I guess, and both sides are interested in continuation

of this dialogue. It wasn't so long ago that Emmanuel Macron was

accusing rasher of hacking and interfering in the French

presidential election, what has changed? -- accusing Russia. Not

much has changed. He accused them of being financed by the Kremlin. He

used tough language in front of his counterparts. There was no holding

back. It was acknowledged there were difficult issues. Of course. It

seemed that Mr Putin takes this criticism for granted by. He hear so

much of that. What was interesting was the fact he didn't talk about

Ukraine much. It seems that he tries not to concentrate on hard topics,

but to look at those which may bring some opportunity for dialogue, some

opportunity for common language. He did not concentrate on hard areas,

but especially tried to talk about those things which may bring

countries together, because they don't need allies -- because he does

need allies, he does need leaders to top two in this Europe, this

constantly changing environment. What was on this for Macron? This is

early in his present in six. -- early in his presidency. On Syria,

he said use of chemical weapons in the future, France will strike back.

Against the regime of Assad. We know that Russia has been backing this

regime for quite some time. Emanuel Macron was very tough on Putin over

Syria. We have 20 that the former president did not get along with bar

to putted. He was supposed to come to Paris in October to inaugurate an

Orthodox Church near the Eiffel Tower, but Fatima Putin had to

cancel that is, because France were whole and only wanted to talk about

Syria. Is this more about a look to the future rather than trying to

smooth over what has gone before? Yes, definitely. During the

electoral campaign in France state media was tough on Macron, --

Russian state media was tough on Macron, and Madine the pain didn't

win, now they have to get common language with Macron. He has to

offer something interesting, otherwise France * Lee is more tied

with Germany, and maybe even more the United States rather than with

Russia. Mr Putin wants to change this because he needs partners, he

needs to continue dialogue on such issues as Ukraine and sillier. He

needs some positive terms to be found. -- Ukraine and Syria.

The leaders of the two main UK parties are being interviewed on

television right now ahead of the general election. Tell us about the

format, this is not a conventional debate.

No. It is not at all a TV debate. It is one candidate getting better time

for 45 minutes, then the other one steps up. You have 100 people in an

audience, carefully selected for their political views, they have

been asking their questions, putting questions to one candidate, then

vetted in TV broadcaster Jeremy Paxman has his chance to grill them.

The two candidates at any point, Jeremy Corbyn and Theresa May, will

not be on stage at the same time. And there is a corridor where one

team is on one side of the corridor and the other team is on the other

side so that they don't meet at all. What have we been hearing so far

from Jeremy Corbyn and how is he read to have done?

He has been on for about 35 minutes so far. It was all quite polite, the

questions from the audience first of all, he was asked about all sorts of

things, from terror, to Brexit, to his policies for corporation tax in

the UK. One of the most interesting questions so far was about foreign

policy and comments that he made after the Manchester attack last

week, talk about what he said, linking terrorism and foreign

policy, he was asked why we should soft and foreign policy when groups

like IS don't negotiated -- don't negotiate, he reiterated his

condemnation of the attack and also how he didn't want foreign policy

that left parts of the world and governed. The most passionate

question came from somebody talking about accusations of him being a

sympathiser for the IRA. He was asked about a specific commemoration

that he went to four IRA members. Jeremy Paxman said he went to that

in order to start a dialogue for peace. In Northern Ireland. Quite a

polite set of questions that now it is getting trickier from Jeremy

Paxman as he is killing him on all sorts of things, talking about his

core beliefs and what is on the Labour manifesto, trying to create

the impression of discord between Labour Party members and Jeremy

Corbyn, the leader. -- he is questioning him on all sorts of

things. Ten minutes to go and then it is Theresa May's turn for her 45

minutes. Thank you, we will be back to West

London a little later to hear how Theresa May is doing.

Donald Trump has defended his son-in-law and advisor,

Jared Kushner, after he was accused of trying to set up a secret

Here's the statement Mr Trump released to the New York Times.

The original report was in the Washington Post.

In it Jared Kushner is accused of speaking to this man.

It's alleged the pair discussed setting up a secret back channel

I have been speaking to our correspondent in Washington.

These allegations are raising eyebrows in Washington. This story

relates to a meeting that happened on December the 1st or second

between the Russian ambassador and Jared Kushner. This is after Donald

Trump has won the election but before he has been sworn in. The

Trump transition team is meeting with the Russian ambassador and

supposedly Jared Kushner is meant to have discussed the idea of setting

up a secret back Channel with Moscow. This is what is really

raising eyebrows, supposedly using secure equipment at a Russian

diplomatic facility, that is because the Russians know they are spied

upon by the Americans here in the US, they presumably have a special

secure way of dealing between the Russian embassy here and in Moscow

when they don't want to be overheard. This is the allegation,

that Jared Kushner wanted to use that particular secure Channel of

communication supposedly to talk about coordinating policy with

Russia over Syria. Very serious matters, but leading Republicans

have said there is nothing wrong with a back Channel, and who knows

of the story is true or not at this stage?

I was wondering how much momentum this story is gaining in amongst all

the other allegations and insinuations about the

administration's links with Russia. The president himself is furious. He

did not eat very much during that nine-day foreign trip but now he is

back, he is back on form, he is tweeting away about fake news. He is

seeing all these stories with anonymous news I made up, often at

his fake news. He is very angry. -- news are made up. The president has

returned, a special council has been set up, it will look into whether or

not there were links between the Trump campaign and Russia, whether

there was collusion during the election campaign, and it seems to

be complete chaos. The White House is talking about heavy body is

getting lawyers, the president himself is supposed to be

interviewing several high profile lawyers. Jared Kushner has

supposedly been told by the White House counsel that he can they

represented and stories can be made about the Washington Post story,

Jared Kushner needs his own lawyer. It is a confused and turbulent

picture as the president returns, with talk of him wanting to set up a

room to wall of all of this from the rest of his legislative business, he

is trying to get health care and tax reform through.

How important is the role of Janet Kushner?

He is the son in law of their president. He is married to the

daughter of the president. He is in control of the peace process and

innovation, key rules. We'll report from Brazil where

the president is under pressure - thousands have rallied on Copacabana

beach to accuse Michel Temer Female zookeeper has died at

Hamerton Zoo after an incident involving a tiger.

Two members of staff handed out a statement. In it they said they were

too distressed to talk but they confirmed that one of their

colleagues had been killed in what they described as a freak accident

in the tiger enclosure this afternoon. They said at no point did

any animal escape from the enclosure and at no point were any members of

the public in danger. When it happened, people on social media who

were here at the time, described how they were moved very quickly from

inside the zoo out, the zoo was evacuated, they said although the

staff were clearly anxious and nervous, it was all done in a

controlled way, and many have been paying tribute to their prompt

actions in the light of what happened.

This is outside source. Our top story.

Leaked audio reporting is appear to show the president of Brazil, Michel

Temer, receiving bribes. People are protesting at Rio. This was Rio's

way of making a stand. The carnival atmosphere amid loud demands for

democracy. The atmosphere here is very different from what we saw a

couple of days ago in Brasilia when protest is descended into violence.

Here, there is singing and dancing, but the message is clear. The flags

and placards say Michel Temer has to go. People here want new elections.

They are angry about wheat recordings showing the president

supporting bribes to a politician in prison. He is not a president, he is

not legitimate. He is like a thief. He is not only not a legitimate

president, he is also very unpopular. But President Michel

Temer maintains his innocence and says he would step down. He will

never recover his political authority. He can remain in power

however and that would be very bad for Brazil. Everyone here is waiting

to see what happens on June the 6th friend is apos-macro actual code

meets to decide whether it annuls 2014 presidential election. At that

point Michel Temer could be pushed out that under the Brazilian

Constitution Congress would have to choose a successor until mixture's

elections. Not everyone is happy. We want to give back to the people the

right to choose their next president directly. The next few weeks are

really important to Brazil. Beth, when, and how the president will

lead. It is a waiting game that everybody wants to get over to get

on with rebuilding the political faith of the country.

The chief executive of British airways has said an electrical surge

that not that its computers at the weekend that the back-up system also

collapsed, disrupting thousands of flights worldwide. The chief

executive has apologised but is refusing to resign.

Our reporter has this. It was restored by it took a long

time from messaging and sisters to come up again. Terminal five is

getting back to something like normality. It is one thing sorting

out the immediate problem, it is going to take British areas far

longer to ease people's anger at the way they handled the entire

situation. The meltdown hit 75,000 passengers across the world, each

with a different story. One main complaint, no one was telling them

what was going on. We are aware that to be locations have to get better,

particularly as social media continues to expand. We will

continue to invest in resources, in ways with which we can directly

reach out to people. BA made thousands of staff redundant

recently outsourcing IT jobs to India. That issue would have been

resolved in minutes if he still had those employees and the system would

have been up and running. When I put it to the chief executive he flatly

deny that outsourcing had made any difference. Totally unconnected with

all of those redundancies and the outsourcing of the IT? Absolutely,

yes. One estimate has put the compensation bill at ?150 million.

You cannot predict price on the damage to their reputation.

It could be more bad news for people flying because America's Homeland

Security Secretary says the US could extend its ban on laptops and

tablets on planes to cover all international flights in and out of

the country. In March the US banned electronics larger than a mobile

phone on flights from several minutes -- several middle Eastern

countries. Tell us why this latest move?

The head of Homeland Security over the weekend appeared on American

television and when asked about whether or not he was considering

this ban, he said, there is a threat against aviation, as a result of

that he is considering in permitting a ban on items larger than the size

of a smartphone. The reason he gave when pressed was he said terrorists

are obsessed with the idea of knocking down a plane, particular --

particularly a US plane. There is a ban on laptops for countries that

fly to the US from the Middle East and North Africa, the concept here

is whether you expand that, to transatlantic flights, on average

350 flights are affected per week from the Middle East, if you

extended that ran to Europe, you are talking about 350 flights per day at

least. That is a huge number. This is

probably the last in the airline passengers would want to hear. What

impact would it have in practical terms on the airlines?

There is huge logistics. You were talking about British Airways. You

can see when something goes wrong, the knock-on effect can be huge.

When it comes to security, there is a lot to arrange. It is not just the

airlines are put to prepare for this, it is also the airports. This

is something that work is being done to see whether new security machines

could deal with this, but they are expensive and it would take a lot of

money and a lot of time for it to roll out.

Thank you. This year 's Cannes festival has been the usual round of

parties that there has been controversy, networks broke with

tradition by not releasing its two entries. Our reporter has been

speaking to the network 's chief officer. Trying to meet consumer

expectations, broad access to content, we know that global

distribution platform that we have, personalisation capacity, can find

the biggest audience for those films, support those creators more

effectively. We think it is a great option for distribution. You have

this issue around who French cinema tickets are taxed and those proceeds

go into funding French cinema. In essence you distribution model would

kill French cinema. Do you think it will? We are investing a tremendous

amount in French cinema in the local entertainment industry. We think it

is quite effective because we are bringing those stories from France

to the world in a way that hides a much bigger audience, and more

relevance for French products. We know it is a clouded market. HBO,

Showtime also doing what you are doing, how do you deal with this

increasing competition? It is not surprising that there are a lot of

people who want to write this wave of internet revolutionising

entertainment but think of the competitive space from a consumer

perspective, it is way broader than that. We are competing with

everything that a consumer might do to entertain themselves, reading a

book, going out with friends, watching linear television, all of

those things, our focus is to look at our service, how do we provide

compelling content experience, how do we get better and better, make

awesome plodders experience that surrounds content, if we focus on
