9:06 am
could have predicted what happened. this 41—year—old man, a man who has been boxing for 30 years of his life and wona been boxing for 30 years of his life and won a gold medal in 1996, he came out for the first four rounds like the young man, dominated and bamboozled and bemused young anthony joshua. 0n the fifth round anthony joshua. 0n the fifth round anthony joshua dropped wladimir klitschko right in front of me and as he stumbled up he had no idea where he was. and anthony joshua stumbled up he had no idea where he was. and anthonyjoshua was exhausted. he had nothing left. this is unusual for exhausted. he had nothing left. this is unusualfor wladimir exhausted. he had nothing left. this is unusual for wladimir klitschko. then wladimir klitschko took over and anthony joshua then wladimir klitschko took over and anthonyjoshua added around where he had been on his knees. then anthonyjoshua stopped lightly been taken out anthonyjoshua stopped lightly been ta ken out by anthonyjoshua stopped lightly been taken out by some imaginary sniper and doesn't move for four seconds but somehow manages to last for the
9:07 am
end of the rhine. i was exhausted and the boxers were exhausted and 90,000 people watching it were exhausted and we still had five fights did go. —— five rounds to go. you can make predictions like that. wladimir klitschko had an eye patch that required 13 stitches. he had a co mforta ble that required 13 stitches. he had a comfortable lead good the 11th round but two of the three judges at ringside had anthonyjoshua at front and starting the 11th round i had no idea what was going to come. the concussive viciousness that result. that was a sign of a real champion. in many ways he's a boxing baby. it is only his 19th fight. it was the 69th fight for wladimir klitschko and anthony joshua finds 69th fight for wladimir klitschko and anthonyjoshua finds something from those darkest places where real champions have to and finally sent wladimir klitschko down for the
9:08 am
second time. it with breathless and breathtaking stuff. when he went down and stayed out what was it like? it was a relief for everybody in the british boxing business. it was sad for wladimir klitschko because he has been a terrific champion. i looked at him and it looked as though we shattered but looking around, nobody had left, obviously. there was a sense of utter relief. and a joy. people at the ringside were covering each other. commentators were common ping each other. —— cuddling each other. and afterwards? anthonyjoshua stayed in the ring for 81 minutes. i timed it. 81 minutes after the end of the fight. at that point there was only the security and his family and about 50 hangers on left in the entire stadium. and the people who we re entire stadium. and the people who were dismantling the entire boxing
9:09 am
paraphernalia. he was doing pictures and photographs. every single one of his nieces and aunts and cousins got in the ring and it pictures with them. it was the oddest thing i've ever seen. he finally left the ring at about six minutes past midnight. i had at about six minutes past midnight. ihad him at about six minutes past midnight. i had him being interviewed and what struck me as he spoke in a way they don't expect boxers to. he talked about character and all the sort of thing. he is an adjusting man. he is talked about that before. he said i don'tjust fight talked about that before. he said i don't just fight for anthonyjoshua, ifight for don't just fight for anthonyjoshua, i fight for my father and i fight for every one of my family. i fight for every one of my family. i fight for every one of my friends and the fight for every one of the people of the last 15 years who have put their trust in me. i'll all of them and debt, a small bit of a big debt and i'm paying it off slowly. as he warned last night everybody, there's still plenty more to come. thank you very much. labour and the conservatives will

celebrities and journalists gathering for the glitzy white house correspondents' dinner which is usually attended by the president. but he said he wanted to shun the press in favour of his people. i could not possibly be more thrilled than to be more than 100 miles away from the washington swamp spending my evening with all of you! back at the correspondents' dinner, the usual revelry was replaced by a sombre defence. it is ourjob to report on facts and to hold leaders accountable. that is who we are. we are not fake news. but the president kept a determined note, and those who'd waited all day to hear those magic words were finally rewarded. we will make america safe again!
9:12 am
and we will make america great again! donald trump has said there has been nothing like the last 100 days. he has proved to be unconventional and certainly unpredictable. on that, at least, both his supporters, and his critics, will agree. laura bicker, bbc news, pennsylvania. meanwhile hours before the rally, thousands of people across the united states took part in protests to express their concern about climate change. much of their anger was directed at president trump who has previously called climate change a hoax. 0rganisers said they wanted to put the debate firmly on the agenda for next year's midterm elections. pope francis has called

9:15 am
of food away every year. the committee calls it a scandal. councils have to raise bills to dispose of it. and this is happening while food bag use is at a record high. mps say the best before date should be abolished. 0n packaging, it only refers to quality. it is perfectly safe to eat afterwards, but the food may not be at its best. industry experts told the committee it was meaningless. the important information to be displayed was the use by date, which is about safety. the best before date, i believe, can be scrapped, because it is unnecessary. it means food is wasted and sometimes people don't actually eat that food when it goes beyond the best before date. the use by date is still safe to eat. we need to make the best use of our food. if it is still good to eat, let's eat it. customers at a pioneering product plant in leeds sell food that otherwise would have gone in the bin.

to protect its national security — two weeks after president erdogan won a referendum on extending his power. it's sacked almost four—thousand more civil servants, banned hugely popular television dating shows and blocked access to wikipedia — claiming the website is smearing the country's reputation. sarah corker reports. since the field to attempt lastjuly in ankara has sacked and arrested more than 160 thousand people. president erdogan has cracked down on people he believes a guest showed no sign of abating. 0n on people he believes a guest showed no sign of abating. on saturday almost 4000 people expelled from the military including 1200 members of the army. the authority said they pose a security threat. i was earlier tuckey blocked at space to wikipedia —— access. some tv dating shows were also banned. there has
9:18 am
been social media blocking but this is different because wikipedia is actually a platform to reach out as well. people in the country use wikipedia to present a turkish point of view. if wikipedia is blocked in turkey that means that tax cut edited soldiers almost handing over the editorial decision to other countries. it is a policy that could backfire. the wikipedia founder jimmy wales took a twitter. access to information is a fundamental human rights. that is people i will a lwa ys human rights. that is people i will always stand with you to fight for this right. well in ankara people reacted with disbelief. translation: i don't think it's nice to control information in this age when information can be easily accessed. they will see this is the wrong approach and i believe it will be reversed. this latest purge comes

just days after thousands of police officers were suspended or detained, many of them accused of having links to an excised muslim cleric. he has accused up inspiring the two, something he denies. president erdogan says it makes this country safer but opponents say it has brought his country closer to dictatorship. for kate and gerry mccann, life as they knew it ended ten years ago when their three—year—old daughter madeleine went missing while on a family holiday in portugal. in an interview to mark a decade since her disappearance they've been talking to fiona bruce about how they've coped, making yearly shopping trips to buy her birthday presents, and holding onto hope that their absent daughter is still alive. every day is another day without madeleine. i think it isjust that number,
9:20 am
it is that ten—year mark which makes it more significant, i think, because it's a reminder of how much time has gone by. and obviously ten's a big number. i think the day, and the poignancy of it, that we don't tend to go back, because it is so draining. but, inevitably, anniversaries, and on her birthday, they are by far the hardest days, by far. how different is your life now to what you must have imagined all those years ago? that's a hard one, isn't it, because it's such a long time. i think before madeleine was taken, we felt we had managed to achieve a little perfect nuclear family of five. and we had that for a short period, and you adapt and you have a new normality. and unfortunately for us our new normality for the minute is a family of four. and last time you talked to me,
9:21 am
you told me you are still buying birthday presents and christmas presents for madeleine. are you, ten years on, still doing that? we are still doing that. so, you go to the shops, you think madeleine would be this age now, you think, what would she want? that's it. you have to think what age she is, and something that, umm, you know, whenever we find her, will still be appropriate. so, there's a lot of thought that goes into it. she is still our daughter, she will always be our daughter. one of the police officers in portugal has been a thorn in your side for many years. he wrote a book which implicates you, and you fought it through the courts. at the moment, you've lost and he has won. the lastjudgement, i think, is terrible, so we will be appealing. we haven't lodged that yet, but we will be. he was suggesting that you were involved in the disappearance.
9:22 am
i think that what people need to realise, though, as assistant commissioner rowley has said again this week, the portuguese have said, the final report has said, there's no evidence that madeleine's dead. the prosecutor said there is no evidence we are involved in any crime. the police have talked about one significant lead that they're still pursuing. can you tell me anything about that? well, very much the investigation is in the hands of the metropolitan police. there clearly are ongoing enquiries. they have come a long way, and there is progress. there are some very credible lines of enquiry that the police are working on. and while there is no evidence to give us any negative news, you know, that hope is still there. it really is there, in your hearts? absolutely. that one day you will be reunited with your daughter? no parent is going to give up on their child unless they know for certain the child's dead, and we just don't have any evidence.
9:23 am
our hope of madeleine being out there is no less than it was all those years ago. apart from those first 48 hours, nothing has actually changed since then. i think the difficult thing has always been, how will we find her? cos you're relying on the police doing everything they can, and you're relying on somebody with information coming forward. you can see the full version of that interview on panorama: madeleine mccann: ten years on. that's on wednesday night at 9pm on bbc one. and we'll be showing an extended version of fiona bruce's interview with kate and gerry mccann here on the bbc news channel at 10.30am. priceless egyptian artefacts that were badly damaged during the second world war are once again going on display at liverpool's world museum, for the first time in more
9:24 am
than 70 years. a gallery expansion and extensive restoration work means they're now part of the largest egyptology collection outside of london, as lindsey prosser reports. from the everyday to the beautifully decorative, these objects reflect the rise and fall of ancient egyptian society. it is our most ambitious exhibition we have done for egypt. we've got a whole range of artefacts, right from the prehistoric period, we have stone vases and stone tools, all the way through the christianity in egypt. so we've got these beautiful leather slippers that people would wear in life, and also be buried in. when the museum was bombed during the second world war, part of its priceless collection was badly damaged. we have two granite statues of the goddess sekhmet, a human form with a lioness head,
9:25 am
and they were both shattered. the fire damaged the two pieces, which were intact before then, and it wasn't until recently we have restored them, pieced them back together, and put them back on display for the first time with the rest of the egyptian collection. the challenge for this team is to move the statues into the gallery without breaking them. at the same time, mummies who were also fire—damaged are being installed. we keep the objects not because they look stunning, or because they look beautiful. it is because of the information they hold. so part of what we do is unlocking the stories that they hold, and revealing their hidden histories. we have two romano—period mummies here, and they are both quite young. one is a teenager. we have wondered in the past if they were associated with each so they could be sisters?
9:26 am
you never know, they could be. this display at liverpool's world museum is now the largest ancient egyptian gallery outside of london. it's taken him almost a week, but a man dressed as a gorilla has finally finished the london marathon, after crawling all 26.2 miles of it. tom harrison crawled the streets of london "gorilla—style" for around 12 hours a day, raising more than £28,000 for the gorilla organization. he crossed the finish line on the mall with his sons and was presented with a trophy by the conservationist bill oddie, i believe he has a policeman and i have a sun who was a policeman and he did the marathon but did it on the first day. —— son. at the grand old age of 105,
