after a car ran into several people. hundreds of rightwing protesters — some giving nazi salutes — held a torch lit rally yesterday at the university of virginia to protest against a decision to remove a statue of the confederate civil war general, robert e lee. the governor of virginia, terry mcauliffe, had earlier urged people to stay away from the rally. in the past hour, president trump has tweeted about the clashes. on the line from charlottesville is the executive director of the american civil liberties union of virginia, who was at the rally. thank you forjoining us this

evening. can you tell us what has been going on in the last hour or so. been going on in the last hour or so. unfortunately, in the hours since they dispersed the rally, which was about noon, the situation has evolved into one in which there are marauding van is of people looking for a fight looking for people who are willing to give it to them. this is a situation in which people are engaged in violent conduct against other individuals whose views they do not accept and with respect to the car crash, it was a purposeful act as terrorism and should be seen that way. u nfortu nately, and should be seen that way. unfortunately, right after that happened, one of the people from the white supremacist organisation said he was glad people from the other organisation were hurt and they went

after him and engaged him in a physical confrontation. nothing good is happening now and any pretence that there was anybody trying to talk about freedom of speech right now is certainly lost and gone. i'm not sure where you are at the moment but have you any idea whether they have been injuries? i am literally half a block from where the car crash took place. our legal observers were those by, or we know that several people were injured. i have been told there were broken legs, i do not know whether the injuries are most serious. definitely, certain people —— several people were injured and it was an act of terrorism. what has the reaction be the belize? —— from the reaction be the belize? —— from

the police? a lot of state police in dryer gear are trying to control the marauding bands of thugs and have managed to keep them contained in certain areas but i understand this is going on all over the city. there are violent conflicts breaking out in other bases. obviously, this is a difficult situation. i will say that from my observation, the overwhelming majority of the people who work but as a paid in in the white supremacist rally today were millennial white men who i think we can millennial white men who i think we ca n safely millennial white men who i think we can safely say were radicalised online by richard spencer and his ilk. while they have a right to free speech and protest, they do not have a right to make violent conduct

against other people, and nor do people opposed to them have any right to violent conduct. both sides we re right to violent conduct. both sides were pepper sprayed and amazed and one side had home—made tear gas. it has been a very difficult day for eve ryo ne has been a very difficult day for everyone who was here to observe it. for those who haven't followed it from the beginning, tell us what started all of this? the initial protest in the reaction to it. the city of charlottesville city council injune city of charlottesville city council in june voted to city of charlottesville city council injune voted to change the name of two parks downtown that have been named for confederate war participants and to change the names of the parks to emancipation park and justice park and they wanted to

sell the statue of robert e lee and they wanted to take it down and sell it to the highest bidder, and that prompted white supremacist from all over the country to view cha rlottesville is the over the country to view charlottesville is the focus of their concern about, there is quote unquote history being and white out. —— being wiped out. they have a legitimate right to protest an action of government that they don't agree with and that is pretty clear but this has become a focus of the movement, if you will, maybe that is too kind a word, and it is a situation where a candidate came and had rally that this step to and they have now been five rallies around this issue at this place and time in

the cha rlottesville. this issue at this place and time in the charlottesville. part of the reason, i would suspect, is because richard spencer is one of the leader of these groups, he is a graduate of the university and this is home turf for him. thank you. the chinese president, xijinping, has urged the united states and north korea to show restraint, amid the crisis over north korea's nuclear programme. during a telephone conversation with president trump, china's leader urged both parties to avoid "words and actions" that could increase tensions. earlier today, mr trump called the governor of guam to show his support for the island, which north korea has threatened to target with missiles. from seoul, robin brant sent this report. first, he threatened fire and fury in north korea, then last night, president trump said us forces are locked and loaded. but tonight, north korea is getting sound and music

from its neighbours in the south. the message at this annual peace concert on the border a little louder after a week of increasing tension. this is south korea's capital, just a few dozen miles away, but it is hardly a city suddenly in panic. trump's policy offers me a comfortable life because he puts heavy pressure on north korea. i feel comfortable. i am worried about that because the level of tension caused by trump's government is much higher than obama's government. the people here have long lived with the growing threat from the north. but there are small signs they may be stepping up their preparedness. reports shoppers buying more ready meals and investors are buying more gold. injust over a week, they will have a civil defence drill in the city. the sirens will go off and people will be guided from above ground to

metro stations or bomb shelters to take cover from possible aerial attack. it happens every year. last year, just a handful of districts in seoul took part but this year, everyone is taking part. this is part of the reason for that. if anything happens to guam, there is going to be big, big trouble in north korea. north korea has threatens to land missiles close to the us territory in the pacific, that is a threat america cannot tolerate. good morning, good morning! it is great to speak to you. mr trump called the governor of guam to say this. this is between you and i but you don't talk like they talk. you can't do that and you can't do that with people like us. guam is home to us military bases, if we are bombers and tens of thousands of americans who are now being given advice about what to do in the event of a nuclear explosion. meanwhile, this relationship remains key to finding a solution.

china's president xijinping has a crucial role if there is to be peace. but in a phone call, he told mr trump that all relevant parties, who included, should stop exacerbating the situation. across the sea injapan, they are preparing missiles, but these are for defence. japanese military transporters have been moved to places they could intercept a north korean launch. and we'll find out how this story — and many others — are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:30 and 11:30pm this evening in the papers — our guestsjoining me tonight are benedicte paviot of france 2a and the journalist and broadcaster, penny smith. a man's been arrested on suspicion of murdering a mother and daughter at a house in north london. the women, aged 66 and 33, were stabbed at a property in golders green last night. a 27—year—old man is in police custody. detectives investigating the death of an 83—year—old dog walker

who was stabbed to death in woodlands in norfolk have made an arrest. the body of peter wrighton was found near east harling in norfolk. a post—mortem examination showed he'd been repeatedly stabbed in his neck and head. norfolk police have arrested a local man, in his 20s, on suspicion of murder — he remains in custody while their inquiries continue. in kenya, the acting interior minister says the police will stop at nothing to protect life and property following the results of the presidential election, which returned the incumbent, uhuru kenyatta, to power. the opposition claims that more than 100 people have been killed, though it's provided little evidence to substantiate the claim. tomi oladipo reports. after a bitterly fought election, street battles have followed.

the protests have been in opposition strongholds in two of kenya's main cities. the government is responding with force and it makes no apologies. individuals or gangs that are looting shops, that want to endanger lives, that are breaking into people's businesses, those are not demonstrators, they are criminals. and i expect the police to deal with criminals how criminals should be dealt with. this just hours after the incumbent president, uhuru kenyatta, was named winner of tuesday's elections. mr kenyatta won more than half of the votes cast. the news brought out his supporters in their numbers, following a long wait for the results. the party is over. it is the day after the election, yet now comes the hard part. those who were celebrating mr kenyatta's win here last night did so in the hope of a better quality of life. now the president has to deliver for them and he also has to gain the trust of the millions across the country who

did not vote for him. but that will be harder after the opposition rejected the results. they claim the vote was rigged and that their candidate was the true winner. the opposition‘s next move will determine whether such clashes continue or whether kenya will move on peacefully. an anti—islam campaigner has been approved as a candidate in the election for a new ukip leader. anne marie waters is the founder of the campaign group, sharia watch, which has previously called islam evil. her candidacy has divided the party. some prominent figures in the party say if she wins, they'll quit. a new leader will be announced in september. mike hookem has already resigned as ukip‘s deputy whip in the european parliament, over the support within the party for ms waters. i took this decision earlier this

week and e—mailed the interim leader to say i will no longer carry out the duties of deputy whip. stuart agnew, who is the whip, he's vocally supporting anne marie waters and signed on her nomination papers and i can't work alongside stuart as long as he's supporting this woman. i believe she shouldn't be in the party. be standing as a candidate. new measures to tackle the dangerous use of laser pens are to be considered by the government, following concerns about the threat to air safety. the lasers, which can temporarily blind people, have been used to target aircraft and pilots, as our business correspondent, jonty bloom, now reports. laser pens or pointers are designed to be used to highlight something of interest. but they can be dangerous, and dazzle or blind people if shone directly at their eyes. last year alone there were 1,258 laser attacks on aircraft, even though it is already an offence with a maximum fine of £2,500.

helicopters, which fly lower than many aircraft and typically have only one pilot, are thought to be especially vulnerable to laser pens. the government is now going to consult on new measures to restrict the dangerous use of laser pens, and boost safety, such as introducing a licensing scheme for retailers, limits on the advertising of laser pens, and potential restrictions on their ownership, as well as a possible awareness—raising campaign to educate people about the dangers of laser pens. interested parties, including businesses, retailers and consumers, now have eight weeks to submit their evidence and proposals. the unite union has warned that strike action by refuse workers in birmingham which has left waste piling up in the streets could continue until christmas. industrial action began at the end ofjune in a row over working conditions and pay. birmingham city council has accused the refuse workers of holding the city to ransom.

itjust keeps mounting up. six weeks of strike action by refuse workers has left some streets in birmingham full of bin bags and vulnerable to vermin. now the union behind the action, unite, says it will ballot its members on continuing that action all the way until christmas. right, it's been about four weeks now, we've had bin bags the council is proposing to take safety—critical responsibilities off bin loaders at the back of a bin wagon, endangering my members and the public. but in doing so, and there will be a cost to my members' income of between £3,500 to £5,000 a person. they are already on low incomes, and they simply cannot afford it. the row with birmingham city council over changes to the waste service has deepened, with the council accusing unite of holding the city to ransom.

it says it must modernise, saving millions of pounds in the process, and also that no—one will lose jobs. the workers say that although it is not desirable, they will continue for months. we don't want to but we are willing to used a out for as long that it takes. if that means up till christmas, then so be it. it is stalemate but the patience of residence dealing with the consequences is residence dealing with the consequences is running out. the president has called for

americans to unite against hate after clashes in cha rlottesville. police have arrested a27 —year—old man on suspicion of the double murder in golders green. two legends of athletics run their last major competitive track races at the world championships in london tonight. usain bolt will take part in relay final later this evening but up first in a few moments is mo farah, who will try to claim a fourth consecutive world championship gold medal in the five—thousand metres. olly foster can tell us more. let's get more now from our sports correspondent olly foster, we are seconds away from the final in the 5000 metres. the men have been introduced to the cloud, they came out to showers of flames, as the athletes are introduced in the

finals. there was an enormous roar for mo farah, the stadium loves him. there were echoes of super saturday in the london olympics where he claimed and i'm picked double in the five and 10,000 metres. and he has continued to dominate the 5000 and 10,000. the greatest distance runner of all. that will be the great debate. in the next few minutes, they will get going. we don't know what kind of race it will be. there are very good ethiopian runners who will be looking to knock some mo farah off his perch but he has proved to be the consummate racer. he hasn't set world records but he has run and run and run and he has one. it would be a third world double over five and ten. and of course, this stadium would like nothing more than to see a second british medal. he has got the only

medal so farfor the british medal. he has got the only medal so far for the british team. there are other chances tonight, the highjump is there are other chances tonight, the high jump is underway there are other chances tonight, the highjump is underway with there are other chances tonight, the high jump is underway with catarina is in and we have the relays later, and that man usain bolt, but any second now, we will hear the roar for the mo farah. well, that says it all, doesn't it, really? the shadow—boxing to the camera from sir mo farah. that is andrew butchart, the scottish runner, who spent a media benn—ite about taking part, he said he cannot wait. neither can we. that's hand over to our bbc sport colleague.

wait. neither can we. that's hand over to our bbc sport colleaguem is 5000 metres. stand up and stand back from the line. an anti—climactic start. crowd b00. the characteristic reaction from the crowd to anything they don't like. 0h, crowd to anything they don't like. oh, to be here on this day. mo farah sets out in those first nervous steps. we are all watching and all hoping that he can deliver but it is going to be tough, it is going to be hard. the 10,000 metres was hard, in mo farah‘s words, the toughest race of my life. and now he has to come

back mo farah‘s words, the toughest race of my life. and now he has to come back and do it again and right from the beginning, we can see the tempo thatis the beginning, we can see the tempo that is going to be set from the beginning. the olympic silver medallist hits the front. he has medallist hits the front. he has decided he is going to make them run for their money. he decided he is going to make them run fortheir money. he is decided he is going to make them run for their money. he is going to keep it going. it is the only way that mo farah can be beaten in this farah can be beaten in it going. it is the only way that mo farah can be beaten in this race, by stretching all the way. we will bring you back to the end of that race. we think it will take about 12 or 13 minutes so we will come back to that at the end and see whether mo farah has managed to achieve the golden double. seven members of the emergency services team — the white helmets — in syria have been buried

after they were shot dead at one of their centres. the attack happened in the early hours in the town of sar—min, nine kilometres east of the city of idlib. their bodies were discovered when volunteers arrived to start a shift. sebastian usher reports. the white helmets have lost many of their rescue workers but this is the first time so many have been killed in cold blood. they were shot in the head as they worked the night shift. as the seven were being buried, a host of tributes were being paid to them online. the head of the white helmets posted the group's symbol stained with blood. others uploaded video of a man in tears after he rescued a child after an air strike. the white helmets have been celebrated as heroes from many and have been nominated for the nobel peace prize. the exploits have been documented in an oscar—winning film. but not everyone sees the group is whiter than white.

they have been attacked as france, a western backed pr stunt and far too close for comfort tojihadists fighters. the group acknowledges that it receives a natural backing from the west but some of its members were once fighters. by necessity they can only work in rebel held areas. it's unclear why seven of its members were killed, other deaths bring another bleak and brutal twist to the syrian conflict. more than 60 children, many of them newborn babies, have died in a hospital in northern india over the past six days. the head of the facility in gorakhpur district in the state of uttar pradesh has been suspended, and a government inquiry is underway. well, most of the deaths occurred between thursday and friday, overnight into friday. there's been a suggestion that one of the reasons is because oxygen supplies ran low, apparently because the hospital hadn't paid or cleared the bills of the private supplier. now this has been denied by the authorities, but the fact is that from the reports we've heard

from the ground, certainly on thursday night it appeared that the supplies of oxygen were dangerously low. many of these children or babies, in fact, were in the neonatal facility. some of them were seriously ill. there have been reports that both the doctors as well as the families were handed out manual breathing bags in an attempt to try and revive some of these babies, who unfortunately didn't survive. what the authorities maintain is that many of these children were very, very ill and no—one died because of a lack of oxygen, but an investigation‘s on to see if there's been any negligence. the small village in the cotswold is taking part in a landmark dna study.

a hundred villagers from luddington we re a hundred villagers from luddington were tested as part of the genetic experiment. everyone seems to know each other in bledington, but it turns out that people in this tiny cotswolds village are even more close—knit than they thought. brenda's found out herfriend graham is also her fourth cousin. definitely a surprise, yes. i mean, i had no idea. well all of them were surprises, because we've only been here 12 years. and they said i was the most related person in the village. the link was made through dna taken by a company which maps family histories. saliva samples were provided by 120 residents. that's about one quarter of the village's population. bledington looks like the quintessential english village. we were really keen to see what diversity we could find within bledington, just as an example of what you can find all over britain. we explored a few villages like bledington, nearby and around the country, and once we started talking to the people within the village and met with the parish council, they were so excited

about the project, that for us, it was the obvious choice. but the results were anything but obvious. it turns out that as a whole, the residents in this most english of villages are less than 50% english. very interesting, because it tells you the percentage of, you know, britishness, how much of you is from europe or ireland. so we're not completely british. the links stretch across the globe — from the cotswolds to the caucasus, the middle east back to middle england. time foran time for an update on the weather. good evening. for many of us, a decent day today, temperatures

peaked at 22 celsius and many of us saw the cloud breaking up through the afternoon and some decent spells of sunshine, put it can lead through the south—east corner of wales. the skies will continue to clear and through this evening, perfect conditions for the meteor shower. it peaked this evening and overnight and so hopefully with clear skies we will get a good opportunity to see them. through the night, the temperatures are likely to fall away. most of the showers going back to the north and west facing coast. in rural spots, we could see low single figures. a chilly start to sunday morning but hopefully lots of clear skies and sunshine coming through as well and a light reason to. a bit more fake leather —— fair—weather cloud out towards the east. we could get a scattering of showers, particularly in the far west and north of scotland,

temperatures peaking at 18 degrees here. a better day in england. more sunshine tomorrow. one or two scattered showers across wales and south—west england in particular but generally speaking fine and resonant with the temperatures peaking in the south to 22 degrees. after that you start, that is not to bad. perfect weather conditions for the world athletics, the closing date does look like the weather conditions are set to be fair but may be clouding over through the latter parts of the day. all change on monday, wetter weather moving in, but degree of scotland. light and pack g. south—eastern corner will stay dry. the front moves through monday night into tuesday. tuesday could start off cloudy but a rich of high—pressure bills behind and we will see decent spells of sunshine coming
