An urgent meeting of the UN Security Council is taking place.

It's in response to North Korea's testing of a long range missile.

Welcome to Outside Source. Let's show you what's been happening.

President Trump has arrived in Warsaw. The first Lady, Melania. The

first stop on his way to BG 20 summit in Germany. That will be in

Hamburg. He will be meeting the Polish president and will be

delivering what the White House has described as a major speech in the

Warsaw square that was the centre of the uprising in World War II. Quite

something for Donald Trump to be paying visits are early in his

presidency, choosing it rather than perhaps other European allies. We'll

bring you plenty of coverage on BBC News.

Foreign Ministers from Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain and Egypt met

in Cairo today to discuss Qatar's response to their demands.

We don't know the detail of Qatar's response -

but the other countries say Qatar simply doesn't realise how

We cannot have a country like Qatar that is an ally militarily in the

GCC and the Arab League and has an air base form which claims to --

from which planes take off to fight Isis and yet they turn a blind eye

to terror financiers who operate openly in Qatar, a blind eye to

extremists who advocate suicide bombings and advocate young men

going to fight in war zones. We cannot have it both ways. We don't

want to hurt Qatar, we are doing this to help Qatar because it will

help Qatar, us, the region and the world.

Let me show you a Tweet from the BBC's Security

He just interviewed the Qatar Foreign Minister. He isn't

optimistic about a solution. This is the only way to ensure fresh

supplies to the country. When you are not allowing our aeroplanes to

fly over their sky. When you are violating the human rights

declarations, the freedom of choosing family, the freedom of

movement of the people, when they are separating families, they are

violating these clauses and international law.

A month ago, these countries said they'd finally

lost patience with Qatar and broke off all land, sea and air links.

They issued 13 demands calling on Qatar to stop supporting groups

they see as extremist, telling it to curb its ties with Iran

and demanding it shut down the Al-Jazeera news network

which is funded by the Qatari government.

Those demands all boil down to Qatar's neighbours saying,

fall into line and stop pursuing an independent foreign policy.

Qatar denies that it supports terrorism and says the list

of demands was "designed to be rejected".

Our Chief International Correspondent Lyse Doucet has been

It is still a stand-off and what we heard from both sides, well spoken

diplomats, the Saudi Foreign Minister on one side and the Foreign

Minister from Qatar on the other, both of them taking the moral and

political high ground, levelling allegations. From Cairo we have seen

a holding position, no new steps but warning of new sanctions, warning

about these measures and accusing Qatar of a callous approach to

mediation. The Foreign Minister said today that he is open for dialogue

so they are talking past each other while many watch on. What is

happening with the American view of what is going on? We thought this

may be had been encouraged by Donald Trump but where is he now with it?

His first three on the matter, and this is how we measure him these

days, he almost seemed to take credit -- his first tweet. He said

that they are taking action against a sponsor of terrorism. His tweet

today was more conciliatory, asking both sides to solve things

peacefully. That is the view of the Secretary of State and the secretary

of defence, who both have experience across the Gulf. America has big

arms deals on both sides. If this continues what are the risks? The

Foreign Minister of ten to -- of Qatar said that they are very rich

and they can survive this indefinitely and even if they

couldn't, he wouldn't say that they couldn't. They are very wealthy. He

said that the costs of shipping are ten times what they should be

because the only land route through Saudi Arabia has been cut. Our

viewers looking at the map, huge Saudi Arabia, little Qatar. Like a

little thorn in the side. Qatar, the Foreign Minister said, wanted to be

the bridge Kamal Adwan and those people who want dialogue also called

for the end of monarchies, which their neighbours find worrying.

Volvo has announced all new models from 2019 will be either hybrids

or powered solely by electric motors, marking

from the traditional combustion-only engine.

According to a Bloomberg report, electric car sales could total

40 million by the year 2040, equating to about one-third

Here's our transport correspondent Richard Westcott.

Drives up in a 1908 model T. The shapes have changed over the years

and thank goodness when it comes to the Brown Allegro but all these cars

have a internal combustion engine. We have relied on them for 100 years

but is that going to change? Volvo cars is taking a bold step forward,

heralding an end of an era for the internal combustion engine. Volvo

says that all of its new models will be at least partly electric.

Ambitious but experts say it won't be quick. These and petrol will have

a long many people choose to adopt hybrids before they go all the

electric and in that time, batteries will improve, increasing the range

of miles and prices will drop, making them more tenable for people

to buy them. It will be quite a while before we see all electric

cars as every car on the road. Sales of alternative engines remain small.

In June last year more than 8300 electric and hybrid vehicles were

registered in the UK, increasing to nearly 11,000 this year but it is

dwarfed by the Court of million petrols and diesels that people

bought. This street sums up one of the reasons that plug in cars

haven't sold in great numbers. Many of us live in houses like this, we

don't have a garage, we live in flats and often you can't park near

your house so how can you charge your electric car? Then there is the

problem of topping up halfway through the journey. Some of the

country is better than others, Newcastle and the North East have

quite a lot of charging infrastructure. To get from where we

are to where we need to be, a lot of different parties will have to put

in charging points, workplaces, businesses putting them in for their

staff, supermarkets, anyone with a public car park. Electric cars are

getting cheaper with a better range but it will be some years before the

internal combustion engine drives off for good.

In the Tour de France, Italy's Fabio Aru has

won the fifth stage - while Britain's Chris Froome has

taken the yellow jersey from team-mate Geraint Thomas.

The gaps were not big at the summit finish but still enough for the

leadership to change hands, Chris Froome taking the yellow jersey from

Geraint Thomas who is now second. The stage was won by the Italian

champion Fabio Aru finished 16 seconds ahead of Dan Martin with

Froome in third place, in the same time as Richie Porte. Simon Yates

was a superb sixth. Froome has a 12 second lead over Thomas with Fabio

Aru up to third place. Dan Martin is in fourth place, Richie Porte is in

fifth at 39 seconds and Yates is sixth, four seconds behind.

talking about being in a bubble with this psychology she goes through but

it paid off today, she had to fight and dig deep and came through. Let

me bring you up to date, the two time champion, Petra Kvitova losing

to the 94th ranked player. Kvitova winning the title in 2011 and 2014.

She was playing her third event of the year after recovering from that

knife attack at her home in December. She won in Birmingham last

month after winning in the French Open. You spoke about Konta, one of

the matches of Wimbledon so far, brilliant comeback to win against

Vekic. Murray licking it -- making it look easy against Brown. Four in

the players have reached round three in the singles at Wimbledon for the

first time in 20 years and it could be five if Kyle Edmund beats

Monfils. Nadal is through after beating Donald Young in straight

sets. More controversy today, when Medvedev threw coins and the

umpire's chair following his loss against a Belgian qualifier after he

had asked for someone to be replaced as the umpire. A bizarre gesture

which he said was not meant to imply that the official was corrupt but we

are scratching our heads about it. He has apologised for his moment of

madness. I'm surprised he had coins in his wallet in this world of

contactless payments. We had comments from Bernard Tomic saying

he was bored of playing at Wimbledon. Pat Cash said he needed

to work in a factory to understand what real work was like. Today,

Bernard Tomic got a job offer from a Western Australian police force, a

cheeky tweet. I don't know if he will take it up, the money probably

isn't as good. Back to you. Very cheeky. Thanks. The weather has been

lovely in Wimbledon so far. Stay with us on Outside

marching across Turkey, from the capital Ankara to Istanbul

in protest at the government The so-called 'justice march'

was sparked by the arrest of an opposition MP,

but has become an unprecedented act of defiance against a government

accused eroding democracy. Our Turkey Correspondent Mark Lowen

sends this report. Turkey 's's spirit of protest is

being kindled. With every step of what they called the March for

justice. Tens of thousands walking 450 kilometres from Ankara to

Istanbul, starting when an opposition MP was jailed but

becoming something far bigger. People can't speak freely, OK. For

example I can't defend myself in trials. So I'm here for justice. We

need our rights. Too many people right now are staying in jail. In

boiling heat and rain, they've walked, opposing the purge since

last year's failed coup. Over 50,000 people have been arrested, 140,000

sacked or suspended. They say that President Erdogan is crushing all

dissent. This man was fired as a university professor for criticising

the government's Kurdish overseas. There is a call for democracy and

peace. I lost my job for this. That is normal that I am here, I want to

be. We're approaching the deep bottom, like in the sea. If your

feet touch the bottom, you can rise up very quickly and very easily. The

opposition leader Lord the protest. The sprightly 68-year-old was long

seen by critics as being weak but now likened to Gandhi's march

against colonial rule, he has a step in -- spring in his step.

TRANSLATION: There is no independent judiciary. We are continuing our

fight until we have democracy and the authoritarian regime collapses.

For most passers-by, support, but from some opponents, the Erdogan

campaign song. The president says that the March is siding with

terrorists, echoed by his fans. Justice is through the courts, says

this man, not by inciting people on the street. The opposition party are

sheltering terrorists, it makes us angry, he says. The opposition is

fractured but this march is building momentum, a sense that they have

finally found a positive, peaceful way to challenge the government. The

task is to stop it from fizzling out and build it into a credible

political movement. A break from the sweltering heat as blisters are

nursed and energy refuelled. Then it is on towards sunset. The march has

given people a voice. But they are still a long way from paving an

alternative road ahead for Turkey. Venezuelan now.

Tell us more, these were supporters of President Maggiore. Well, yes,

they are pro-government supporters. It seems to be under control but

these pro-government supporters are still there. The lawmakers,

journalists and so on are stuck inside. The police are there but

they aren't doing anything to try to let the lawmakers go out from the

building. This confrontation came after an assembly session marking

Independence Day in Venezuela. Yes, today was supposed to be a very

peaceful day because it is a national party, Independence Day,

but there was no peace at all, it was the opposite. The opposition is

denouncing the police, saying they are not doing their job is to try to

keep away these pro-government supporters and they are producing

these tear gas bombs that are very common over the last three months

when there is an opposition rally against the government. In 20

seconds that we have left, how volatile does the situation feel in

Venezuela? Well it is very complicated situation. We are seeing

a very, divided polarised country and there is no end in sight of this

confrontation and nobody knows what is going to happen. Thank you for
