good evening and welcome to bbc news. president trump has promised action to make america's schools safer after a teenager killed 17 people in a mass shooting in florida yesterday. nikolas cruz, a former pupil at the school in parkland, appeared in court a short time ago. the president described him as "mentally disturbed" and said that tackling mental health would be a priority for his administration. the fbi said it had been warned a year ago about the potential threat posed by cruz but that there was no evidence he was planning an attack.

for hours, children at a high school found there was mayhem and bloodshed as a gunman stalked its corridors. shots can be heard close by as these terrified pupils sheltered in a classroom fearing for their own lives. he went up and down the hallwayjust banging and shooting into the classrooms. he shot through the door and broke the window. all of a sudden we heard one of the student government teachers say, run as fast as you can, and we heard a gunshot. this 17—year—old, originally from coventry, moved to florida three years ago and is a student at the school. he was barricaded in a storage cupboard for two hours. we heard the door to our room being unlocked. there were two different people. we didn't know how many

shooters there were. we didn't know if it was police. i remember my teacher turning to me and saying, "what do we do?" that's terrifying. she opened the door and the relief when you realised it was these guys in military getup holding pistols and assault rifles. i have friends who have been killed, friends who have been shot. how can this be? this is a school i go to. i'm watching video footage and it is my friends with their hands up. police did finally get to every classroom. the fear palpable. police! put your hands up. survivors were ushered through the corridors with hands on their heads, police marksman watching. the first of those identified as having been killed was a football coach and security guard at the school. in the coming days we'll learn details of the young

victims as well. this is one of many vigils being held for those who died. shocking here to see the faces of so many young people who yesterday were attending what they thought was a regular day at school. and today they are mourning friends who sat beside them in their classrooms. the killer escaped with fleeing schoolchildren, but was soon arrested without a struggle. he is 19—year—old nikolas cruz. a young man known for having a fascination with guns, and who even, it now appears, threatened in a social media post to become what he called "a professional school shooter". argue nikolas cruz? the leader of a white nationalist militia said cruz had taken part in paramilitary training with them. you are charged with some very serious crimes. kevin found the girl who sat next to him in an english class earlier in the day was one of those who have died. he also knew the gunman,

who'd been a former student at the very same school he attacked. he used racial slurs. he was just awful to other people. i'm sure he was bullied himself by some, but he was the type of person who people were scared to bully because they knew something could happen. they just didn't think this could happen. it makes me angry because we all knew him, we all knew that there was a potential for something to go wrong. it just sucks that we couldn't stop him. these thoughts are the type with which no children should have to burden themselves. but in a country where there have been more than 200 school shootings in less than five years, more and more are being taught by such horrors. victims of barry bennell have been

speaking about what they suffered in the 1970s and 1990s. they were speaking at the end of the trial at liverpool crown court when he was found guilty of a total of 43 offences against young boys. my name is mickey fallon. i was abused by barry bennell as a child. my name is stephen walters. i was abused by barry bennell. my name is chris unsworth. i was abused by barry bennell as a child. three of the 12 victims in this case. boys, now men, damaged by controlling paedophile barry bennell. now defiant and waiving their anonymity to shed light on their shocking childhood experiences. for decades we held our silence, just like our abuser told us to. for decades we have lived in fear, because we may be grown men stood in front of you now, but we were once a little child. we are no longer afraid you, barry bennell. for years, hundreds of us

were groomed in plain view. the shame, the nightmares... no child should suffer the way we did. how can it be that no one realised something was wrong? how is it that no one protected us then? their remorseless abuser, now aged 64, shook his head and laughed as the jury returned their last guilty verdicts today. one of football's leading youth coaches, barry bennell, worked with manchester city and crewe. for him it was cover to get close to young boys and abused them. described in court as a child molester on an industrial scale, he told police how he worked out which boys to target. andy woodward was also

abused by bennell. when he went public, other victims broke their silence. andy, if there are any other victims out there who have not yet come forward, what would be your message to them? if there is any other victims, which i believe there is, it's to each and every one of them whether they feel they are strong enough to come forward. but i hope this has given them some more courage, that justice has been served today. it is understood more than 80 other men have come forward to say bennell abused them. this prolific paedophile will be sentenced next week. danai savage, bbc news, liverpool. the leader of the african national congress cyril ramaphosa has been sworn in as the new president of south africa following the resignation ofjacob zuma last night. mr zuma had faced persistent

allegations of corruption and the new president said today that fighting corruption would be his main priority. our africa editor fergal keane reports from capetown. in the place they call the mother city of the republic, exaltation at what they felt was nothing less than a deliverance. and inside, the words that signalled the arrival of a new and very different order. i declare the honourable cyril ramaphosa duly elected president of the republic of south africa. he knew this moment was coming, but he had seemed abashed. in his first words as president the tone was consciously humble. when one is elected in this type of position, you basically become a servant of the people of south africa. and i will seek to

execute that task with humility, faithfulness, and with dignity as well. this is the story of the political triumph long deferred. cyril ramaphosa was mandela's chosen heir after leading the anc in the successful negotiations to end apartheid. but ramaphosa lost out to party politics. the bleak years of jacob zuma were the eventual result. now that he's finally become president, a unique insight into cyril ramaphosa from the white negotiator who faced him across the table in the last days of apartheid. it's somebody who reminds many people of a mandela in a different way. of course mandela had the aura, the iconic status which nobody else will ever have. but it's the moment where

you have a leader or a person who can lead the country with aspiration and inspiration. for now, his party enemies are defeated and the country is broadly behind him. but ramaphosa has stern critics, those who accuse the wealthy businessman of being out of touch with the pool. —— poor. this incident in 2012 when 34 striking miners were shot by police haunts cyril ramaphosa, who was a director of the company that owned the mine. for me, i blame mr ramaphosa, says a miner's widow, because he was part of the problem, instead of helping the people. but tonight, as he was being sworn in before ministers and family... so help me god. there was a genuine sense of optimism. so there you have it. the final step in bringing cyril ramaphosa to the presidency of south africa.

you can hear them are now beginning to sing one of the songs of the liberation struggle. about a pervious leader. it's cyril ramaphosa's hope to bring the movement back to the idealism of those founding fathers. after years of corruption and misrule, south africans are daring to hope. president trump's former special adviser, steve bannon, has again refused to answer key questions at a congressional hearing. he was being interviewed by the house intelligence committee, which is investigating alleged russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election. the former special advisor asserted he had been instructed to invoke executive privilege on behalf of the president. the leading democrat on the house intelligence committee, adam schiff, said it could not put up with what he called stonewalling and would consider contempt proceedings. the us government has blamed russia for last year's widespread cyber attack which affected companies around the world, causing billions

of pounds of damage. the white house said the attack injune was part of what it called "the kremlin's ongoing effort to destabilize ukraine. a large part of ukraine's infrastructure was crippled in the attack. russia has strongly denied that it was responsible. highly processed food, including bread, cakes and instant noodles, could lead to an increased risk of cancer, according to new research. the study of over 100,000 people hinted more such foods people eat the greater their risk of cancer. 0ur health correspondent reports. pizza and fizzy drinks are all the processed food, so is bread and brea kfast processed food, so is bread and breakfast cereals. they are some of the nation's favourite foods but new concerns have been raised by scientists who think the way these foods are produced or packaged may be raising the risk of cancer. it may come as a surprise but around

half the foods we eat are classed as ultra— processed. that generally means they are made in a factory with a huge list of ingredients down the side of the packet. we know they are bad for our waistlines, but could they be bad for our health in other ways also mac request a french study looked at nearly 100,000 people. there were quite young with an average age of 43, but the results showed a 10% increase in ultra— processed foods was linked to a 12% risk in cancer and an 11% increase in breast cancer risk. the save the term all the processed in compasses are many foods it's hard to work out what's really going on and while this research has found hints of a link with cancer is not definitive. so do we need to be in the bread? we should not be panicking. as all of us know highly processed foods like this, things like pizza, crisps, chips, are not the things we should be making the main focus of our diet. this study

adds to our understanding but not saying anything new and not saying we need to throw the sweets out of cupboard. gorging on huge amounts of processed food will make us fat and being overweight is the biggest preve nta ble being overweight is the biggest preventable cause of cancer, after smoking. for health experts this study is a timely reminder we all need to improve our diets. on average our diets are unhealthy in this country. we all on average need to ta ke this country. we all on average need to take steps to improve our diet, so to take steps to improve our diet, so take the results of this study seriously and make changes. the saxton is from doncaster say processed food is a fact of family life. it gets you to think, how can you avoid buying ultra— processed foods unless you grow everything yourself, basically? evenings aren't as difficult as the mornings in terms of breakfast. that is very difficult to rule out cereal and toast on a day—to—day
