tonight at ten: an act of terrorism — the man who deliberately drove a van into a crowd of muslims in north london is found guilty of murder and attempted murder. darren osborne carried out the finsbury park attack last june, killing one man and injuring several others. radicalised online within weeks, he wanted to kill as many muslims as possible — and waved as he was arrested. the online material played a significant role in relation to his mindset and how he was radicalised. he'll be sentenced tomorrow. also on tonight's programme. the government and brussels are in dispute over the rights of eu citizens to live and work in britain after brexit. the prime minister holds talks with the chinese president — they discuss trade, the environment, and north korea. human rights was also on the agenda. we have a report from china's troubled western region, where a security crackdown is under way. china is building a total surveillance state. it's a place where saying, doing, or even thinking the wrong thing, can get you locked up in an internment camp.

a warning from england's chief inspector of schools — some parents and religious leaders are trying to "actively pervert" education. we're the nigerian women's bobsleigh team. and making history — africa's first bobsleigh team to compete in the winter olympics. and coming up on sportsday on bbc news: 28 russian athletes get their olympic life bans overturned, but what does that mean for the fight against doping? good evening. a man who deliberately drove a van into a group of people near a mosque in north london to try to kill as many muslims as he could has been found guilty of murder and attempted murder.

darren osborne, from cardiff, killed makram ali, who was 51, and injured several others in an act of terrorism. he was described as a loner who'd become obsessed with muslims after watching a tv drama and looking at far—right groups online. our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford reports. it was an act of terror. a large van, its engine revving, smashing into a group of muslims on a summer night during ramadan. those he injured, terrified that the driver was going to attack again. there's a few people who were really badly hurt and couldn't move. i thought he was going to kill us. what did you think he was going to kill you with? maybe a gun, maybe a knife. this, a 999 call made at the time. the driver was brought to the ground by the angry crowd. the local imam urging

them not to hurt him. everyone back! when police arrested darren osborne, he waved as he was taken away. part and parcel of living in a big city. later at the police station, he ranted about previous terror attacks on muslims, saying, "have some of that, have some of your own. at least i had a proper go." at almost exactly that time, 51—year—old makram ali was declared dead at the scene. he'd been crushed by the van. darren osborne was born in singapore, but grew up in weston—super—mare, where friends remember a violent young man. he'd just stand like that and stick a glass in yourface. he did that numerous times. osborne moved here to cardiff with his partner and children, but the relationship was failing and recently he'd tried to kill himself.

his rapid route to murderous hate only began last may, with a bbc docudrama about a pakistani grooming gang in rochdale. i buy you things and you give me things. his rage was further fuelled by last year's attacks in london and manchester. in the fortnight before his attack, he started following this man, tommy robinson, and other anti—islam activists on social media. osborne received a group e—mail in robinson's name saying, "there's a nation within a nation forming beneath the surface of the uk. it's a nation built on hatred, on violence and on islam." detectives believe material like this had had a powerful effect on osborne. the people around him described it as having a major impact on him, brainwashing him, and as a result we believe that was, if you like, part of the main driver for why he carried out this attack. but tommy robinson accepts no responsibility. you don't think that there's a chance that somehow the way you were talking

about that was inflaming hatred and driving people like darren osborne to violence? no, not at all. zero chance. on saturday, june 17th, darren osborne decided to act and went to hire a large box van. and that evening he was recorded in a pub in cardiff, writing a hate—filled note later found by police in the van. it caught my attention when he shouted... callum spence was in the pub that night and remembers what osborne said to him. terrorists are all bad, you know, i want to kill terrorists and muslims. i'm going to take things into my own hands. things like that. the next day, osborne drove to london. his original target, this pro—palestinian march, where he says he hoped to kill as many muslims as possible and jeremy corbyn. but road closures meant he couldn't get near, so he ended up in finsbury park looking for a mosque. just after midnight he came down the seven sisters road, swerving across the bus lane

at speed, and impacting the group of worshippers just here. his foot hard down on the accelerator. he ran three people down, knocking several more to the side, and then smashed into the bollards at the end of the street. his radicalisation complete, he had achieved his aim — to kill. mohammed mahmoud, the imam who saved osborne that night, says his congregation were left fearful. it left people wondering, would there be more, what next? if a car can be turned into a weapon and cause multiple casualties in one go, in an instant, then could this be expected again in the future? the jury rejected darren osborne's bizarre excuse that a mysterious man called dave was driving at the time of the attacks and vanished, and he nowjoins the growing list of white, far—right terrorists in britain's prisons.

daniel is in finsbury park, near the scene of the attack now. one of striking element of this case is just how quickly darren osborne was radicalised. yes, darren osborne went from being a functioning alcoholic with a history of violence, to a terrorist with a cause, who mowed down a group of muslims in this street in about a month. his partner doesn't remember him having any interesting race or religious issues until he watched that three girls docudrama. then he joined twitter and two weeks after that he was driving to london with the intention, as he put it, to kill as many muslims as possible. when he was writing that note in the pub the night before the attack, and when he was talking to police officers in the van in the hour after the attack and even when he was giving evidence in court this week, it was striking how similar the seams and language that he was using word to the themes

and language being used by those anti—islam activists that he was following online. even some tweets that they posted on the day before the attack. a focus on a particular councillor in the rochdale grooming scandal, a focus on the words sadiq khan used on the london bridge attack, on the al-quds march, a fairly obscure march, a focus on the don't look back in anger song being used after the manchester attack, in the month they got into his head and had given him a reason to kill. watching him in court this week the only thing he regrets about the whole affair is that he didn't kill many more. daniel sandford, thank you. the prime minister has held talks with china's president xijinping in beijing. on the second day of her trade mission, theresa may said she hoped her visit would strengthen the "global strategic partnership" between the uk and china. the two leaders also discussed north korea, protecting the environment, and human rights. from beijing, here's our political editor, laura kuenssberg. watch what i do,

not what others say. theresa may wants you to judge her actions, not her critics' words. taking tea with her husband and one of the most powerful men in the world. lapsang souchong, no less. maybe that's what they drink in numberten. herjourney of thousands of miles has been for more than a cup of tea, but a shake on billions' worth of business deals. despite frank talk on hong kong and north korea too. i've been pleased to bring a very large business delegation here. we've had a very successful visit. the convoy held up the traffic, a big charm offensive to help business sign on the dotted line. a brexit—friendly diplomatic visit, complete with bags. there's a real success story here. we've signed agreements on financial services. bp have signed a £750 million deal. one of the biggest chinese e—commerce sellers has signed a deal to sell £2 billion worth of uk goods

over the next two years. all of this adds up. we've got to get away in britain from our obsession with europe in terms of its relation to the global economy. is that enough to make our economy roar after we leave the eu? there's menace at home from those who believe are too timid, too slow to decide. what do you say to colleagues who are frustrated either because they think theresa may is backsliding on brexit or they think because she's somehow a hostage to people on the other side? well, i heard some of these arguments back in december — "we'll never get a deal on how we move forward". then we did get a deal. and now i hear people saying, well, we'll not get an agreement on our trading relationship. yes, we will get an agreement on that and we've got to see that against the government's wider programme of britain's relationship with the rest of the world. people have doubts about her ability too though, don't they? what do you say to those people? when i've been talking to chinese leaders here, they're looking at performance.

they're looking to see what the uk is doing, and they look at the prime minister in a different way than some of, let's say, the internal tea room discussions in the uk do. some of your colleagues are too obsessed with themselves, do you think? too obsessed with westminster? i think in britain there's always a tendency to focus on britain. inside europe, there's a tendency to focus on europe. both should be focusing on the big world that's outside. but while mr and mrs may were roaming beijing's forbidden city, someone who was a crucial part of the tory empire was urging those mps to make her listen. the conservative party must offer to the country a big plan for the future. big ideas, big vision. whether it's transforming schools in the north of england or a plan to engage with the rest of the world, like china, or indeed a form of brexit which is not as economically damaging as some of the forms being proposed, iwould humbly suggest that's what's required. it suits the prime minister's allies to present the ructions at home

as parochial difficulties or a few petty disputes, but the divisions matter because before too long she has to make big decisions that will shape all our futures and britain's place in the world. with plenty of others competing to drive, the back seat is getting pretty crowded. laura kuenssberg, bbc news, beijing. meanwhile the prime minister has signalled that she will fight a demand by the european union that eu citizens who move to the uk during the transition period after brexit in march next year will still be given full residency rights. theresa may argues that there has to be a difference between those arriving after the uk leaves and those who came before. here's our home editor, mark easton. eu migrants arriving in the uk today enjoy all the rights of free movement, but what will happen after brexit day in march next year? the prime minister says that moment should mark a real change — new eu

migrants should no longer be guaranteed their right to live they will. be tested tweed; ~ , ~ w , ~ ~ ,. that will undermine our economy. the plan is opposed by eu negotiators, but was greeted enthusiastically by the most vocal supporters of brexit. we will have left the european union and the eu can't expect the same provisions to prevail after we've gone. the uk proposal applies to the hundreds of thousands of eu migrants expected to arrive during the so—called transition phase that follows brexit in march 2019. now, during that period, they will have to register with the home office, but they won't necessarily know what rights they will have at the end of transition some time in 2021. today, in brussels, eu citizens living in the uk were telling the european parliament they didn't want to be bargaining chips in the negotiations and were alarmed that future migrants were having their rights traded away in brexit talks. if i was living still

in the netherlands, where i'm from, and i would want to move to the uk, i would wait. just wait until everything is clear. because at the moment there is still nothing agreed. time is ticking and we are in the front line, as eu nationals, of this brexit saga. after transition, eu migrants will have to apply to stay in the uk, but the details of how that will work are not finalised. there's uncertainty about what that means for those who no longer qualify — will they be deported and what will the rights be for those that are successful? will they go to bed on the last day of transition with a certain set of rights and wake up in the morning with something very different? for employers like the nhs, the prospect of eu migration falling further has led to concerns about their ability to recruit skilled nurses. i think if you're a nurse in an eu country, in france or germany, you're not going to want to come to this country and put down roots,

because it's uncertain. therefore, we won't have the workforce, with our current vacancy rate of 40,000, to look after the needs of our people here. for some though, more important is for britain to control who is allowed in to work for the nhs. let's decide to have more people from the european union to come and work in the nhs, by all means. but let us decide that for ourselves, don't let's be dictated to by the european union after we've left. the politics of brexit means the prime minister is looking for ways to demonstrate her determination to take control of our borders at the point we leave the eu. the practicalities make it hard to avoid unintended consequences. mark easton, bbc news. john pienaar, our deputy political editor, is in westminster. we have got the prime minister in china having talks, looking to the

future and more immediate questions surrounding her leadership continue at home? yes, the prime minister is under more pressure to get a grip of brexit and give more of a lead. and her reminder of the british position on migrant policy was clearly delivered with a nervous glance to the brexiteers she is wary of upsetting. they could turn against here and some have made clear they already have privately. i'm told they have been invited for regular meetings with the government chief whip. the former remain side of the party, you hear from whip. the former remain side of the party, you hearfrom them whip. the former remain side of the party, you hear from them the whip. the former remain side of the party, you hearfrom them the idea the sense of drift can't go on for long and the former chancellor, george osborne was on the bbc saying most of parliament did not like the ha rd of most of parliament did not like the hard of a hard breakfrom the customs union and the single market, thatis customs union and the single market, that is also the view of business leader. it leaves the prime minister

ona leader. it leaves the prime minister on a political tightrope, a step to either side could mean danger. a senior brexit—supporting mp said to me he saw no sign of a challenge to theresa may, but in the same breath said of course everything could colla pse said of course everything could collapse at any moment. these calls for theresa may to take a lead will get louder, although as things stand the party may be becoming unleadable. thank you. england's chief inspector of schools, amanda spielman, has warned that some parents and religious leaders are trying to "actively pervert" education. she says inspectors are worried about some people using faith to try to narrow children's horizons, and they mustn't be allowed to dictate school policy on dress or behaviour. sima kotecha reports from birmingham. you just wrap it around like a long, long scarf. these teenage muslim girls have been wearing a headscarf for a few years now — their reasons are varied. this is one way i feel modest, because i'm not showing

off my hair or worrying about my makeup or whatever. people who see me, they instantly recognise me as a muslim and also if i see other people, then i know that they're muslim if they're wearing a hijab. but in recent weeks, there's been a row over whether schools should be allowed to ban the hijab. in london, the head teacher of st stephen's primary school was heavily criticised for banning girls under the age of eight from wearing it. she then reversed her decision because of the uproar. now, ofsted has intervened. today, its chief inspector said school leaders must have the right to set uniform policies, in order to promote cohesion. for some, wearing hijab post—puberty is seen as a religious requirement. there's a difference between that and cultural preferences, and wearing lipstick and high heels might be one of those. we don't say that all schools must respect cultural preferences, and we try and find a balance that makes the school a community

for everybody in it. the koran, the holy book of islam, says women should guard their modesty. the text is open to interpretation. some muslim women choose to wear it, others don't, but there are strong feelings around whether young girls should be allowed to cover up in schools. here in birmingham, it's not uncommon to see girls who are four and five wearing the hijab with their uniform. critics say that if its purpose is to guard modesty, it should only be worn after puberty. if not, ofsted says that it could be interpreted as the sexualisation of young girls. in all of our lives and all of our cultures... at one school here, the head teacher is calling for more debate. it's not an equal practice. girls wear a headscarf, or are expected to, or they can when they hit puberty, but boys are not. so it's not an equal practice and you can't say that it is. so you have to be able to expect to have a really clear and open debate about these kind of things.

some here argue banning the hijab could itself undermine the right to religious freedom. one mother says sometimes daughters want to imitate their elders. children can be quite stubborn and fixed in their ways, then what can you do? rather than have tantrums, you have to just sometimes give in. but if they want to do it, you know, and the school doesn't have any objections, then i don't have a problem with it, with them wearing it. in cosmopolitan britain, where different faiths come into contact with western views, rules in schools can provoke controversy, anger and resentment. sima kotecha, bbc news. a young father broke down in court today after hearing that further treatment for his seriously ill 20—month old son was "futile". this is alfie, with his father, tom evans. doctors say the child was born in a semi—vegetative state. he has a neurological condition that's still not been

definitively diagnosed. lawyers acting for alder hey children's hospital in liverpool argue that more treatment would be unkind and inhumane. but alfie's parents want doctors to continue treating him. the hearing continues tomorrow. the family of khader saleh — the prisoner stabbed to death in wormwood scrubs in west london yesterday — have told the bbc he had complained to them about violence in the jail, in the days before he was attacked. four men — who are also inmates — have been arrested on suspicion of murder. 28 russian athletes given lifetime bans for doping have had their suspensions overturned by the court of arbitration for sport, because of insufficient evidence. in total, 43 russians were banned for life from the olympics, following an international olympic committee investigation into state—sponsored russian doping at their home games in sochi in 2014. the ioc warned the decision "may have a serious impact on the future fight against doping". elderly and vulnerable people who are in and out of hospital should be given automatic home

checks to stop needless re—admissions. that's according to a new report by the british red cross. it says one reason is many of don't feel safe in their own homes. it's thought that over the past five years hospital readmissions in england have risen by nearly 23% to more than 457,000. the number re—admitted within 48 hours now accounts for one in five of all emergency admissions. our social affairs correspondent alison holt reports. i'm in a lot more pain today than it was yesterday. cheryl mcnulty has chronic lung disease. in the last few months, she's been taken to her local ipswich hospital as an emergency five times. she's then returned to a home where she clearly isn't coping. i get so frustrated because i can see what needs doing and i can't do it. you, like, have panic attacks because you think that

you're going to stop breathing, you see. over the months, dust and dirt have built up, aggravating her condition. she also spent three years sleeping upright on her sofa because she couldn't get up the stairs. i was stopping halfway, with my inhaler. ijust couldn't do it any more. hi, cheryl. hello, love. how are you? today's report by the red cross calls for automatic home checks for patients who regularly end up in hospital. their visit to cheryl picked up the difficulties she was having, and as a result work is about to start to make this a healthier home for her. she will have a dust—free environment. she will be able to keep on top of it all. we could help her get somebody in to do the cleaning and stuff like that. then it will brighten up her life and it will make herfeel valued. with accident and emergency departments, such as this one

here at ipswich hospital, under huge pressure, it's become increasingly important to tackle the underlying issues that mean some people are admitted as emergencies time and again. this was where cheryl was turning up regularly. now a special team works with frail older people as soon as they arrive. i started looking into the history of why they are here, what's at home and what we might need in making sure that they can go home if they are not acutely unwell, and what measures we need to put in place so that they stay home safely. it's five months that we've had the community division within the trust... in the busiest winter the hospital has seen, the medical director says they have managed to reduce the number of people being readmitted to hospital. if anybody becomes unwell in the community, we can react and respond in that community setting, using the emergency department when it's needed — but only when it's needed. and as such, it's a much more efficient setting. over ten days, cheryl's home is redecorated, de—cluttered, and she has a bed downstairs.

my breathing was so bad, when i do anything, and i'm hoping that now it's going to be a lot better. councils who provide people who are eligible with care say support like this is vital, but the increasing squeeze on their budgets is making it harder to meet the demand for help. alison holt, bbc news, ipswich. on the day that the prime minister raised the issue of human rights with china's president, her government has expressed concern about the treatment of muslims in china's western region of xinjiang. the area has seen an unprecedented rise in police numbers and security controls. in the last few months, there have been increasing reports of ethnic minorities being held without trial in detention camps. the chinese authorities say their strategy is about combating terrorism, following violent attacks. our china correspondent, john sudworth, travelled to xinjiang, where all filming and reporting by foreign media is tightly controlled.

in looks and in distance, it's closer to baghdad than beijing. but this is china, it's far western province of xinjiang and now the target of one of world's most intense security crackdowns. the uighurs, a mainly muslim minority, have a long history here. today, fear is everywhere. under the watchful eye of government minders, there's only ever one correct answer. "i know nothing," he tells me, "life is good here". moments later, armed police show up. this is the china visiting prime ministers never get to see. police power here is all—pervasive and growing.

millions of residents are being forced to give dna samples. mobile phones are searched for sensitive religious content, using hand—held plug—in devices. and for those suspected of even the mildest disloyalty to beijing, there's now a network of secretive detention camps in which thousands of uighurs have been locked up without trial. close to what we believe is one of them, we are stopped from filming. china is building a total surveillance state. its is a place where saying, doing or even thinking the wrong thing can you get you locked up in an internment camp. as you can see, it is a place where foreign journalists are certainly not welcome. wherever we go in xinjiang, we are constantly hassled, detained, monitored and followed. like thousands of uighurs, abdurahman hassan

has fled to turkey. he thought his wife and mother would be safe at home — he has since heard, he says, that they have been taken to the camps. translation: from early morning to late evening, she is only allowed to sit on a hard chair. my poor mother has to endure this punishment every day. my wife's only crime was to be born a uighur and, because of that, she lives in a re—education camp where she has to sleep on the ground. i don't know whether they are alive or dead. i can't bear it any more. i would rather they were executed than abused to death by the chinese government. he says he has no idea what's happened to his children. today, the british government raised its concerns about the treatment of muslims here, including restrictions on religious practice. such a frank statement in the middle

of a prime ministerial visit will not go down well. china is seeking the uk's backing for a plan to use xinjiang's desert highways as a new economic corridor to central asia and beyond. it insists the threat of islamic terrorism — with a number of attacks in recent years — is a real one. can i ask you the question? is it difficult to answer questions? but a police state breeds fear. they're busy, they say. and can stoke the very resentments china says it's trying to stamp out. john sudworth, bbc news, xinjiang. nigeria has never competed in the winter olympics. but next week the country will make history by entering a female bobsleigh team for the games

in south korea. they are the first nigerian athletes to qualify for the winter olympics and they've had to raise their own money to get there. alex capstick went to meet them at their training camp in america. we are the nigerian women's bobsleigh team. we are the first team from the country of nigeria... the first team from the continent of africa... and the first team to be represented in the winter olympics in the sport of bobsleigh... ..in pyeongchang. they're known as the ice blazers, going where no african has gone before. heading to a bobsleigh track at the olympics. the opening ceremony, that would be really cool. we were just like, gosh, we are carrying the nigerian flag in a winter olympics. gosh!
