leo gerden is a student at harvard, and has been telling us his reaction. so i'm a senior at harvard, i'm graduating next week. but just the thought of leaving this place, knowing that it will not look the same next semester without its international students, harvard will simply not be harvard any more. and i have so many friends who are absolutely devastated - and i'm also absolutely devastated because it's so many dreams that are just shattered, because we are being used as poker chips right now in a battle between the white house and harvard. everyone has to either make a new plan a and apply to other institutions, or at least have some plan b and mine. there's a lot of uncertainty right now, and people have left for the summer not knowing whether they'll be able to come back or not. and these are people that contribute so much to this country, contribute to this university. it's truly made my

four years at this college absolutely tremendous. one of the harvard students whose really worried but what the trump administration is doing to the university. niall stanage, a white house columnist for the hill, has more on what financial impact this could have on harvard. in relation to funding, international students are typically a very lucrative source for american colleges and universities, largely because a huge proportion of overseas students pay the full tuition fee - and of course, that tuition fee, at particularly elite american institutions can be massive by international standards. one important caveat though is that harvard is in an unusually good position to stand up to the trump administration from a financial standpoint. harvard has a financial endowment, a legacy that is worth over $15

billion - so in fact, it's only about one fifth of harvard's operating revenue in the last academic year that came from academic fees at all. so that gives them some strength for the battles to come. you're watching bbc news, a reminder of our latest headlines. at least 12 people have been injured in a stabbing attack at the main train station in the german city of hamburg. russia and ukraine exchange prisoners, in what is thought to be the biggest swap of the war so far. donald trump threatens a 50% tariff on goods from the european union - and once again takes aim at the iphone-maker, apple. verdicts are expected imminently in the trial of ten people accused of stealing millions of dollars' worth of jewellery from kim kardashian.

the un's secretary general criticises the level of aid we'll tell you about the norwegian man who woke up to find a huge container ship in his front garden. a few more details on that breaking attack in hamburg, the latest in a spate of violent attacks in germany that we've seen over the last few months. this one occurred on the main railway station in hamburg, the fire service are saying 12 people were injured, three of them with life-threatening injuries. police are saying they've arrested the suspected perpetrator. and according to police, it's a 39-year-old woman - the police believe she was actually acting alone, but investigations into her motives are under way. police haven't yet commented on any specific motive that they think she had. but these are some of the scenes we've seen in hamburg,

in the aftermath of another dreadful attack in germany - this time, 12 people injured with knife wounds. let's bring you up-to-date on the latest on those us- iran talks, about iran's nuclear programme. the omani foreign minister has said the fifth round of negotiations between the united states and iran to try to reach a deal over iran's nuclear programme has now ended in rome, with some but not any conclusive progress. badr albusaidi - who's been helping mediate the talks - says the hope is that remaining issues can be clarified in the coming days. there's concern in the us and elsewhere that iran has accelerated its nuclear programme, with the so-called "break-out time" - the point at which iran will have produced enough weapons-grade

uranium for a bomb - close to zero, perhaps only a matter of weeks. whether they have the technical know-how to develop a bomb is another question. the iaea, which inspects the declared enrichment sites, one of them an underground facility in natanz, the other buried inside a mountain at fordow, do not have the access they once had. there is a lot the international community does not know about iran's intentions. all of which, made today's negotiations in rome, all the more critical. the us special envoy steve witkoff was in italy, with orders to seal a diplomatic solution which donald trump still believes is in reach. i want to make a deal with iran, i want to do something if it's possible.

but for that to happen, it must stop sponsoring terror, halt its bloody proxy wars, and permanently and verifiably, cease its pursuit of nuclear weapons. well earlier this week, there were tense scenes in the oval office between us president donald trump and his guest, south africa's leader cyril ramaphosa. mr trump says mr ramaphosa's government is carrying out what he called a "genocide" against south africa's white farmers. our correspondent in south africa, pumza fihlani, went to the area which mr trump says is proof of the south african genocide agaist white farmers - here's what she found. killed a white farmer and take their land... a diplomatic meeting turned ambush. america's donald trump makes incendiary comments about what it's like to be a white farmer in south africa. these are all people that recently got killed. his counterpart, president cyril ramaphosa,

uncomfortable but composed, sits through the so-called evidence of the claims. these are burial sites right here. over 1,000. we've come to the location shown in that video played in the oval office. there are no graves, there's no graveyard. in fact, we now know that the crosses in that same video were part of a protest organised by a local community after the death of a couple that was killed here. we're looking at glenn and vida rafferty. roland collier, a farmer, is their nephew and tells me he is still haunted by the gruesome find. they'd broken, ransacked the house. broken open the safes. it was quite a hectic scene. despite the misleading use of the video, he says he's pleased violence on farms is receiving attention. so, will he be taking up mr trump's refugee offer? no, i wouldn't at this stage. i would definitely not think of going. i still love this country

enough to be able to stay. in a nearby village, home to farm workers, residents were shocked by false claims this was the site of a white genocide. bethwell mabaso was born here. translation: i've lived here since i was a little boy, and this is a peaceful area. nothing like those murders has happened in this community since. and in south africa, a country still recovering from a painful history of segregation, mr trump's political baiting has reminded many of how delicate race matters can be here. pumza fihlani, bbc news, normandien.

welcome back, showing you the scene in north london because fans of tottenham hotspur are

celebrating their team's victory in the europa league, ending the club's 17 year trophy drought. the europa league winners saluted something like an estimated 50,000 estimated democratics attic fans during their open top bus parade. they won that game 1-0, taught and i'm getting some silverware for the first time in 17 years, making a few amendments for the team's rather dismal performance in the premier league, where they're not too far above the relegation zone - but all of that has been forgotten by these fans, singing, glory glory, tottenham hotspur as the bus rolls past them. over to paris, in the kim kardashian

trial, ten people accused of carrying out that robbery, stealing millions of dollars worth of jewellery from kim kardashian back in 2016. nine years ago - we think we've got some verdicts coming in, let's head to hugh schofield, our paris correspondent. what can you tell us? outside the court, from inside we are hearing that the verdicts are falling, and the big news is that the main suspects, the main accused, the ones accused eventually taking part in the heist, being in her room, wielding the gun, forcing her to give up the jewel, they've all been found guilty. the man alleged to be the ringleader of it all denied being the ringleader, but admitted he'd been there - he's been found guilty and given eight years with five suspended, slightly less than what the prosecution was asking for. another man nicknamed blue eyes who was also there in the

room, seven years, five suspended. eunice bus was the one who famously wrote the book saying he held up kim kardashian, so he had admitted his guilt, he was one of the ones downstairs holding up the concierge and minding the entrance to the hotel - he's been given seven years, five suspended, and his accomplice, his helper on the evening, seven years, five suspended. the sun of the ringleader, who drove them, has also been found guilty, given five years, for suspended. the last news i have is that two others have been acquitted - they were alleged to have given information to the gang who carried out the attack, because they knew as a result of this information that she would be alone in this hotel room. these two people

have been acquitted. what's interesting to me... regarding the main participants in the heist, it seems to be quite possible they weren't actually going to jail now because let's not forget that this all happened nine years ago, they also have a certain amount of time, variable amounts of time in pretrial custody. so democrat and if that amount of pretrial custody amounts to 2-4 years, then in each case they will not have to go back to case the microtel because in each case, they've artie been sentenced to years of 2-3 years of proper jail now -- already been sentenced. that's an indication of how the sentencing has been taken into account, their age and frailty, and the unlikelihood, if not an possibility of them committing an offence again. and the fact may be that in court, famously kim kardashian ten days ago said she accepted their

polities and remorse that they had expressed. though some watching might think this was just these are pretty lenient sentences. let's not forget, she was tied up, gagged, she had a gun pointed at her head, she was threatened - this was not just any kind of robbery. know, and the prosecution's case was very much to remind the jury that these were not some gentleman robbers carrying out some honour code last job - they were seasoned bandits, the prosecution said, and they did something which traumatised not just kim kardashian, but also the concierge who went through a terrible life changing experience for him too, they got away with that. they made off with millions of dollars worth of jewels which have not been recovered. this is not

some innocent escapade carried out by a gentleman robbers, it was something way more vicious. but against that, they seem to have weighed this other aspect, which is their age, the unlikelihood of them ever even contemplating a criminal career again, the fact that some of them expressed clear remorse, i think that must've entered into it. but on the face of it, yes, it's quite a lenient sentencing that they've had. just one last question, you talked about the age of the defendants, some of them are in their 60s and seventies - french media called them the grandpas robbers, and it seems like that's been may be taken into account. but it's been an extraordinary trial in that way? yes, you know what the media is light, they all like to tell the same story over and over again. but the story the media told here was

set it's from the old french films, the grandpa robbers, there's a famous film here which is about a romantic group of old bandits who get together to carry out one last job. that was the kind of frame for the story, it fitted a nice, well-known tail. so that was how it got recounted in the french media, probably excessively. and certainly the prosecution was very wary of that and wanted to turn the on its head and say, no, they are not grandpa bandits with this honour code where they won't hurt a fly, just wanting the money, and it's all good, romantic fun. it wasn't that at all, the prosecution was like pains to express in this trial. and i think they made that point, but clearly there's been a process of bouncing here, and don't forget this was a jury trial, and the jury has the power to set the sensi here in france. so i suspect a lot of

what happened in court with the apologies and remorse, the expressions of forgiveness by kim kardashian who, as we know, is undergoing her own law studies and very much has become involved in this idea of rehabilitation - i suspect that all weighed in the minds of the jury when they decided to give guilty verdicts, but giving them relatively lenient sentences. hugh, stay with us because we want to talk to you more about this breaking news and these verdicts and sentences coming in from the kim kardashian trial. first, let's get hugh's report on the background on this case. the man police said was the leader of the gang, umar kadosh. he's deaf, unable to talk, and communicates via a computer screen. others among the gang, equally old, are suffering from parkinson's and cancer. but the prosecution said age and infirmity should not be a factor in judging their guilt.

it was in this discreet, exclusive hotel that they held kim kardashian at gunpoint, after posing as police to get inside. she herself spent an afternoon in the paris courthouse last week giving her emotional account of what happened, how she feared she would be raped or kidnapped, or killed. but during her testimony, she also said she forgave them. according to her lawyer, those were words from the heart. translation: she explained that she is someone who really believes in forgiveness, who wants to forgive, who believes in this approach, and that it's important to her. and it is consistent with the work she does in prisoner rehabilitation. kim kardashian was not in court for the verdicts, but she's surely been following the news closely. it was an event, she said, that changed her life. hugh schofield, bbc news, paris. let's go live ' you in paris, outside the court, where we've been getting those verdicts and

sentences. recount us what happened. the verdicts have been coming in, to an accused, nine men and one woman. i got the key verdicts, which are for the four men in trial - there was a fit but he was too ill to stand trial - the four men who took part in the heist that night, when they turned up to her hotel disguised as policemen, forced their way into her bedroom where she was preparing to go to bed at 2am, and very brutally gagged her, bound her, threatened her with a gun and made off with the jewels. the ringleader has been found guilty and given eight years come up with five suspended in jail. the man whom he was with when they burst into her room gave seven years, five suspended. eunice abbas,

the man who admitted his guilt, had written a book called i held up kim kardashian - he was downstairs at the time of the heist, guarding the entrance, he got seven years, five suspended. another younger man, age 36, who was downstairs - all these younger men... so for the maximum that any of them has got of actual prison is three years. and as i was saying at the beginning, i think that they've served a lot of time already in pretrial custody, and that means they don't have to go to prison now. hugh, many thanks indeed for that summary of the verdict and the sentences we've had in that trial of those ten people, nine men and a woman, accused of robbing the reality tv star kim kardashian of

hello - i'm sumi somaskanda - this is the context on bbc news. we are not there, we haven't lost hope either. especially in light of today's discussions, there's a for progress. we cannot allow under any circumstances, for iran to have a nuclear bomb for us, it's an existential threat. it's the political issue, the said they gave everything away to donald trump and trump need something more than what obama received in 2015.
