it then erupted into taunting, shoving and outright brawling. this event has been declared an unlawful assembly. the rally was cancelled before it even began. as the turmoil subsided, police took back the streets. the crowd dispersed, then this... tyres screech screaming a car, at speed, ploughs through protesters. a state of emergency has now been declared in cha rlottesville. many fear what is known as the alt—right have become emboldened by donald trump's ascent to the white house. the us president said the violence was notjust one—sided. we condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides. on many sides.

it's been going on for a long time in our country. amidst the hate, there was some hope. this ain't going to solve nothing when you're out here beating each other up! a rare and brief moment for division to be set aside. as the mayor now calls for calm to be restored. laura bicker, bbc news, washington. an explosion in the pakistani city of quetta has left at least 15 people dead and 30 others injured. witnesses said the blast occurred in a high security zone. the pakistani military said the explosion targeted a patrol vehicle. the chief of a hospital in the indian state of uttar pradesh has been suspended in connection with the deaths of 64 children in six days. many of the victims were newborn babies. there are allegations that oxygen shortages caused the deaths in the town of gorakhpur, because suppliers‘ bills went unpaid.

authorities deny this and have ordered an investigation. you are watching bbc news. still to come: disaster for usain bolt as his final race before retirement ends with an injury. detectives are questioning a 27—year—old man on suspicion of murdering a mother and daughter in golders green in north london. the women, aged 66 and 33, were found stabbed to death at a house in golders green on friday night. a man arrested on suspicion of pushing a woman into the path of an oncoming bus on a bridge in west london has been eliminated from the investigation. eric bellquist was arrested on thursday but his lawyer said there was "irrefutable proof" he was in the us at the time. the metropolitan police say he'll face no further action. the jogger is still being sought by officers. 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. kathryn stanczyszyn reports. 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. 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, there will be a cost to my members‘ income of between £3,500 to £5,000 a person. they're 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 losejobs. the city council says it will have cleared all of the backlog by the end of this weekend, and it then has a plan forfurther disruption. it is also inviting unite to get around the table with it and the independent arbitrators, acas. but workers say although it is not desirable, they are willing to continue their action for many more months. this bin man spoke to us anonymously. we don't want to, but we are willing to stay out for as long as it takes. if that means up till christmas, then so be it. it is stalemate, but the patience of residents dealing with the consequences is running out. kathryn stanczyszyn, bbc news. the kenyan human rights commission has blamed police for using excessive force on protestors after results

of the presidential election were announced. they claim 2a people have died in election—related violence since tuesday. leaders of the opposition have appealed for calm, but say they still don't recognise the outcome of the election. alistair leithead reports. after a night of violence, the ambulances brought out the injured from the worst—hit neighbourhoods. some had bullet wounds, others machete cuts and head injuries. it is hard to know how many people have been killed or injured in the police crackdown in these opposition strongholds. the clashes continued throughout the day, rock—throwing youths confronting tear gas—firing police. they‘ re dramatic images, and they were intense, but this was largely contained to small areas. well, there have certainly been violent clashes. we've seen people who have been killed and injured. but it is very much just back and forth between local youths and these special units you can see,

who are quite well—armed. much of what was fired was tear gas, but there is plenty of evidence live bullets were used. monica atieno lost her nephew, thomas, this morning. i heard that he was shot dead by the police officers. was it a bullet wound in his body? yes, there is a wound, a bullet wound in the chest. kenya's human rights commission said the police were using excessive force, despite a denial from the government. people who break into shops are not peaceful protesters. so you cannot say the police used live bullets on peaceful protesters. it is not true. the opposition national super alliance again rejected what they called a sham election, but theirsenior leaders were absent. stealing elections with impunity, in every five years, must come to an end. this is nothing like the level

of anger or violence that sparked the killings ten years ago, but it is a test of leadership over the angry opposition supporters and overzealous police, and it is a test for kenyan democracy. alistair leithead, bbc news, nairobi. china's president xijinping has urged donald trump and north korea to avoid "words and actions" that could worsen their political stand—off. chinese state media says mr xi made the plea to mr trump in a phone call. in the past week, pyongyang and washington have been exchanging increasingly angry threats. from seoul, robin brant sent this report. president trump has threatened "fire and fury." his military, he says, is now "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 perhaps

a little louder, after a week of increasing tension. this is south korea's capital, just a few dozen miles away from that concert. the people here have long lived with the growing threat from the north. but... translation: i am worried about that, because the level of tension caused by trump's government is much higher than obama's government. translation: trump's policy offers me a comfortable life, because he puts heavy pressure on north korea. i feel comfortable. there are small signs, though, that they may be stepping up their preparedness. there are reports shoppers are buying more ready meals, and investors here are buying more gold. in just over a week's time, they will have a civil defence drill here in this city. the sirens will go off, people will be guided from above ground to metro stations or bomb shelters, to take cover from any possible aerial attack. it happens every year. last year, just a handful

of districts in seoul took part. but apparently, this year, everyone is taking part. 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, him included, should stop exacerbating the situation. it is a threat america cannot tolerate. mr trump called guam's president to say less. good morning. it is great to speak to you. this is between you and i, but you don't talk like they talk, and you can't do that. you can't do that to people like us. across the sea, injapan, they are preparing missiles, but these are for defence. japanese military transporters have

been moved to places where they could intercept any north korean launch. robin brant, bbc news, seoul. the pakistani politician, imran khan, says the situation between india and pakistan is "the worst it's ever been". speaking exclusively to the bbc as the two countries commemorate 70 years of partition, pakistan's opposition leader criticises india's prime minister, narendra modi, for his association with hindu extremists, and for letting down muslims in india. india has a prime minister who has not risen above what we... his communal thinking, his association with hindu extremists, his background, where there was this massacre, in gujarat, of muslims, when he was the chief minister. somehow we expected that when narendra modi would became —— become

the prime minister he would rise above this, but i have to say we are all so disappointed because narendra modi has notjust disappointed pakistanis, he's disappointed muslims in india, he's disppointed all the liberal section in india which — which enjoyed the fact that india had this multicultural society. he's taken india to a society where a lot of people, when i was growing up, used to say, they were worried that in india they would not be treated properly, they would not be treated as equal citizens. narendra modi has taken india right there. where my parents‘ generation used to fear that the reason there needs to be a partition is because muslims would not be treated fairly in india and that is what narendra modi has proved. and we'll have a special week of coverage to mark 70 years of partition and the independence of india and pakistan here on bbc news. you can get more information on the dedicated partition page on our website. that's bbc.com/partition. seven members of the white helmets

in syria, the emergency service in rebel areas, have been buried, after they were shot dead at one of their centres. the attack happened in the early hours of saturday in the town of sarmin, 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 in bomb blasts and gunfire, 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 in the fields outside sarmin, 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 by many. they have been nominated

for the nobel peace prize, and their exploits documented in an oscar—winning film. but not everyone sees the group as whiter than white. they have been attacked as frauds, a western—backed pr stunt, and far too close for comfort tojihadists fighters. the group acknowledges that it receives a financial backing from the west, that some of its members were once fighters, and that, by necessity, they can only work in rebel—held areas. now it is unclear why seven of its members were killed, but the deaths bring another bleak and brutal twist to the syrian conflict. you are watching bbc news. these are the latest headlines: one person has died after a car was driven into a crowd in the us state of virginia, during clashes between white nationalists and anti—racist p rotesto rs. let's stay with that story now. earlier i spoke to local reporter michael bragg about the latest developments in charlottesville. a lot of it has cleared out at this time.

i walked around downtown area just a few moments ago, and it's mostly state and local police at this point. so not much going on right now. michael, this has been brewing as an issue for a long time, but were people really expecting violence like this? i don't think people were expecting violence like this. people were definitely concerned, and afraid of what was going to happen, but i don't think anybody expected what happened today to actually happen, a car running through people in the downtown mall. in terms of the groups making up what we believe as the white nationalists, what more do we know about them, in terms of where they have come from and what you know about them? to our understanding, they have come from all over the country. last night at the university

of virginia, they met for a torch rally. we counted, or guessed, at least 700 were out there. there were several thousand people out there today, so it's hard to say exactly where they came from. now, we heard very strong words from governor mcauliffe. you know the local area very well. what do you think will happen in the coming hours and coming days? well, i know tomorrow there will be a lot of different events for people to kind of process what has happened. three people have died this weekend, one on the downtown mall, and two police officers, in a helicopter crash. so a lot of people are going to take time to think, regroup and reassess, and as the week goes on, it will be brought up

several times, and i'm sure there will be plenty of opportunities for public input and really the community coming together. can i pick up on the two police officers. do you know any more about that? sure, we were released information a little while ago, the names were released. i can pull up the e—mail now. the cause of the crash is still unknown. at this time, they are saying there's no foul play is suspected. but, as far as the names, they are both state police officers from virginia. that's really all we have at this moment in time. a danish inventor who designed the world's biggest privately built submarine has been detained on suspicion of manslaughter. the 46—year—old denies killing a swedishjournalist who had been travelling with him. 30—year—old kim vall was last seen on the submarine before it sank. our europe regional editor danny aeberhard reports. kim wall and peter madsen, looking out from the home—built nautilus on thursday evening, as it leaves copenhagen. ms wall, apparently seen here, was the only passenger. that much is clear.

what happened next is not. the freelance journalist's boyfriend reported her missing, and a huge search was launched. mr madsen was spotted by witnesses on friday, aboard the nautilus. but soon after, it sank — fast. it was located at a depth of seven metres, and efforts to recover it are underway. peter, are you ok? are you ok? mr madsen was rescued, reportedly as the sub went down, by a private boat. he said he was fine, although a little sad, seeing the nautilus go down. peter madsen had hit the headlines in 2008, when he managed to build the nearly—80—metre—long vessel using online crowdfunding. he was arrested when he returned to shore. the inventor says he dropped ms wall off on one of copenhagen‘s islands

on thursday night. police are examining cctv footage to try to verify this. he has appeared in court in a closed hearing. prosecutors said it was needed to shield relatives from emerging details, and to give space for the ongoing police investigation, one that could have stepped from the pages of even the most imaginative danish crime thriller. a small village in the cotswolds has been taking part in a landmark dna study to trace their family histories, with some surprising results. more than 100 villagers from bledington were tested as part of the genetics experiment, asjeremy stern reports. 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 found out herfriend graham is also her fourth cousin. definitely a surprise to me, yes.

i mean, 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 is about one quarter of the village's population. bledington looks like the quintessential english village. we were keen to see what diversity we could find within bledington, just as an example of what you could 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 britishness, you're from europe or irish... we're not completely british. the links stretch across the globe, from the cotswolds to the caucasus, the middle east back to middle england. there was disappointment at the world athletics championships in london for the man considered by many to be the greatest sprinter of all time, jamaica's usain bolt. he failed to finish in the men's 100m relay, which was eventually won by great britain. also leaving the track for good was britain's mo farah in the 5,000m metres. parvin kumar ramchurn rounds up the action. in a career decorated in glory, there wasn't a golden ending for usain bolt in the 100m relay. the 30—year—old jamaican

and eight—time olympic gold medallist pulled up injured in the men's relay final, whilst running the final leg forjamaica. the race unexpectedly won by great britain, much to the excitement of the home crowd in london. the united states finished second, with japan taking an excellent bronze medal. meanwhile, in the women's 100m relay, there was gold for the united states, with the british team taking silver in a close and exciting race. one of the greatest distance runners of all time, britain's mo farah, also bowed out of track competition at a major championship. the home favourite had been hoping to complete a historic double in the 5,000m, after already securing gold in the 10,000m. however, the british athlete was pushed into second place by ethiopian muktar edris. farah, a four—time olympic gold medallist, will now concentrate on the marathon. in the women's 100m hurdles, there was a triumphant return to london for former olympic

champion sally pearson. after two years plagued by injury, the australian produced a time of 12.59 seconds to finish first. and, in the men's decathlon, french athlete kevin mayer emerged with the gold medal. the 25—year—old, who finished second at the rio olympics last year, finished on 8,768 points. parvin kumar ramchurn, bbc news. england winning the world cup, red rum crossing the line first in a third grand national, virginia wade at wimbledon — moments of sporting history which would be hard to forget. now, a charity is using memories of sporting events to help people living with dementia, and they have just received an archive of 90,000 photographs. the hope is that they will encourage people to make the connections between their long and short—term memory. john maguire has been along to one of the groups, in motherwell, in scotland. remember, at the time of stanley matthews,

there was another english guy, another english forward who was looking to be as good. he was a wee bit different player, but they were vying for the top dog, weren't they? what was his name? you would be hard—pressed to beat this team in a football quiz. the depth and breadth of their knowledge is extraordinary. but the difficulty comes in bringing that knowledge to the surface, as they all have dementia. once a week, the charity sporting memories runs this group in motherwell. there are others across the uk. for many, it is the highlight of the week. any people watching this, and they're feeling lonely, this is the place to come. this or one of the sporting memories

places, for these are second—to—none. the carers and these people are first—class. often, dementia patients find distant memories more vivid than recent ones. chat to jim about football, and the years just fall away. the scottish cup final, with celtic centre—half mcneill goes for a corner kick, and all of a sudden i see mcneill booting through the halfway line, and running and making the score. that was one of the best moments that i can remember, you know? jessica. did anybody see her on the telly over the weekend? norrie also leads the group to talk about current events, such as the world athletics championships, making those connections between

yesterday and today. and the group enjoys the chance to compete again, and most importantly, to socialise. sport, like music, seems to help connections, start conversations, and photographs offer a powerful window to the past. you just don't know what might resonate, and what might trigger a memory. and that's what's so fascinating about what we do, as well, is you just never know what is going to trigger a particular memory. but then you just hear a spontaneous story from somewhere, and it is just fascinating, and everybody in the group enjoys that. the international press agency reuters has just given sporting memories an incredible archive of 90,000 images, and now, the charity is recruiting help. we're going to bring people together. but most of all, we want to hear from volunteers who want to enjoy delving through these boxes of incredible images, and helping us to scan them and digitise them. it is likely this huge collection would have been locked away

in an archive, never to be seen again. but now, these historic images will have a new life, and will help people to forge links between their own past, present and future. and you can get in touch with me and most of the team on twitter. i'm @duncangolestani. now the weather, with louise lear. good morning. well, despite a few nuisance showers across north—east england, for many of us, saturday was a promising day. and a ridge of high pressure continues to build through the night, so clear skies here, withjust a little bit more in the way of cloud across the essex and kent coasts, with the legacy of those saturday showers. but, generally speaking, it is quiet start to sunday. it will be a chilly one, not necessarily in towns and city centres, but in rural spots, expect low single figures to greet you first thing this morning. but there will be a light breeze, and with those clear skies comes lots of pleasant sunshine. so not a bad start to the day. as we go through the afternoon, cloud will start to bubble up,

and we'll see a few isolated showers, but hopefully they'll be few and far between. favoured spots likely across scotland and northern ireland. if you dodge the showers, with light winds, 17 or 18 degrees will feel quite pleasant. certainly a better day through the borders, north—east england, down into lincolnshire, in comparison to yesterday. fine, dry and sunny. yes, the risk of an isolated shower further west, into wales and south—west england. but again, you'll be unlikely to catch those, so highs of 19 to 20 degrees here, and low 20s quite possibly, again if we get the sunshine continuing. so, if you're heading off for the final day of the world athletics championships, whether it is the morning or the evening session, perfect weather conditions for those spectators, and for the athletes. and a similar story, as well, for the premiership matches taking place today. very nice indeed, largely dry here. now, as we move out of sunday, into monday, a change to come. a weather front moves in from the west. it'll bring the heaviest rain through scotland, in particular, and north—west england. light and patchy into northern ireland, wales and south—west england.

the best of the sunshine, really, through east anglia, the east midlands, down into the south—east corner. here, we could see highest values around 22 or 23. but, even in the cloud and the rain, we're looking at around 15 to 19 degrees. so once the rain lifts and the brightness returns, not too bad an affair. that front will still clear away. it is not going to bring that much in the way of persistent rain across the east, but it will do so through tuesday night, into the start of the day. so on tuesday it looks as though we will see a scattering of showers, but not a bad affair. 17 to 23 degrees the overall high.
