outrage approaches, there'll be more informal gatherings of the survivors and those who lost so much on that night. 12 months ago. jim kelly, bbc news. it'll be part of the immigration policy ahead of brexit, businesses and parts of the public sector such as the nhs had been arguing that they are struggling to recruit enough skilled workers. parts of the nhs are in desperate need of a more doctors, but the number of skilled nonny you workers, granted visas is capped. today, the new home secretary acknowledged that policy should be re—examined. when the policy was put in place, there was a cap that was established of highly skilled immigrants. for years that
6:40 pm
was not head, only recent months has it been had, i see problems with that and do something that i'm taking a look at. the pressure on ministers has been building, and in spring, visas for 100 foreign doctors were refused. 35 nhs trusts sent a letter the government and that it would affect patients and the decision was impossible to understand. he also said today he would look again at the inclusion of a foreign students in the immigration figures, saying it had a perception problem. for almost a decade, the conservatives have been committed to cutting out overall net migration to tens of thousands a year, but he repeatedly refused to explicitly endorse that bigger. i'm committed to the manifesto, but what it means is over the next few years i'll be working towards rightly reducing net migration and bringing it to lower sustained levels. but
6:41 pm
you said you're not committed to tens of thousands. i said the ma nifesto. tens of thousands. i said the manifesto. labour said it was counterproductive. the mistakes they have made on this is they would an arbitrary target for immigration figure and then let the economy their consequences, we said do the sensible thing which is to say what this economy need and let's make sure we have skills to match those needs. he is the working euros on secretary for just a month, needs. he is the working euros on secretary forjust a month, but he has shown again his willingness to do thejob his has shown again his willingness to do the job his own way. police officers visited a house in surrey today where it's thought a hit man hired to kill the lover of former liberal leader jeremy thorpe is living. police had said andrew newton was dead, but he's now believed to be alive and using a different name. his apparent death was one of the reasons given to thorpe's former lover — norman scott — for dropping a conspiracy to murder investigation. duncan kennedy reports. this was the moment when people ——

6:43 pm
hugh grant playing thorpe and the bbc dharma. the programme includes the moment he skilled at —— killed the moment he skilled at —— killed the dog and then sees that done jam wednesday aiming at scott. police say they want to talk to andrew newton, tcp can confirm allegations made by another man about the murder plot. the other man claims there was a conspiracy. jill norman scott. if those allegations are confirmed by andrew newton, then the investigation could be fully reopened it, and this very english scandal may become a very complicated legal process. two thirds of women with the most common form of breast cancer might be spared chemotherapy after a new trial involving a genetic test already available on the nhs. doctors say using it to analyse early stage tumours could mean up to 3000 women a year in the uk could be treated with surgery and hormone therapy alone. annisa kadri reports. juliet is now in recovery after a
6:44 pm
physical and emotional battle with breast cancer. she says the chemotherapy that followed her diagnosis turned her into a horrible person to live with. i think the worst thing about it for me was the emotional side, i got used to losing my hair, and going around a bald, but i'd just felt so depressed and not wanting to talk to anybody and really, it was that feeling of wanting to be away from the world actually. doctors a new research means thousands of women with the most common form of early—stage breast cancer could be spared chemotherapy, trials of a genetic test have found that the treatment can be safely avoided without affecting outcomes. the test is carried out after surgery to see whether a tumour is likely to spread and people get a score out of 100,
6:45 pm
and people get a score out of 100, and women who scored 0—10 are considered low risk, there's no benefit in having chemotherapy, and the other end of the scale people who score over 26, there is a definite benefit but there is a grey area for most patients who are in between and at that group which the trial was focusing on the findings suggested for those patients aged over 50, chemotherapy was not needed. there's always been an uncertainty i want the best recommendation was for two thirds of women who have a test in the mid—range, and that trial addresses the important questions. a leading breast cancer charity is calling for changes in cancer treatment. some clinicians will update the practise immediately because the results of the study are so significant and thatis the study are so significant and that is why we want to see the clinical guidance updated, so more patients can benefit across the nhs. the trial is a step in trying to provide more tailored treatment for breast cancer patients. a meeting of the world's leading

finance ministers has ended with sharp division between the united states and the remaining g7 countries over president trump's tariffs on aluminium and steel. several countries including canada and mexico have already retaliated with their own tariffs as chris buckler reports. the finance ministers were welcomed with a traditional canadian greeting, but despite the smiles, it was hard to escape the idea that someone was banging the drums of war. the message to the us from the other big economic nations who posed for this unhappy family photograph was simple — if you don't want a trade war, you have days, not weeks, to change your mind on tariffs. the americans have decided to, in our mind, take an action that's not at all constructive, it's actually destructive to our ability to get things done around tariffs, on steel and aluminium. president trump is introducing the steep tariffs on steel and aluminium on the grounds of national security. however, this old torpedo factory
6:47 pm
in virginia is a reminder of the importance of notjust metals, but also allies, and with nations now threatening retaliatory tariffs on everything from bourbon to bluejeans, there are american families worried that they could pay the price of this fight. we do not buy american cars, we find the quality of german and japanese cars far higher. yeah, we'll end up paying more. we've had the eu as an ally for as long as i can remember. building the tariffs would kind of damage that relationship. president trump is continuing to campaign, with the message that he's putting america first, but other nations say that doesn't have to be at their expense. the idea that we are somehow a national security threat to the united states is quite frankly insulting and unacceptable. president trump believes the policies he's pushing will ultimately be popular in american towns and cities, but he knows he also has to consider those international relationships, and when he meets the other
6:48 pm
g7 leaders at a summit in quebec next weekend, he is likely to face some awkward conversations. chris buckler, news, alexandria. mps will debate tomorrow whether the sale of animal fur should be banned, after a petition on the subject gathered more than 100,000 signatures. there's been a huge growth in fur imports which are up 500% in a decade. sima kotecha has been following the trade from denmark to the uk. a mink, just one of the a000 or so that live here on a farm on the outskirts of denmark. they're bred just for their fur. they grew from this size to, in four—five months they are grown—up just as big as their mother. for newcomers, a bio—security suit is a must, to protect the animals from infection. how do you feel about producing animals not to eat but to wear? if it's for meat, it's for meat,
6:49 pm
if it's for clothes, it's for clothes, i don't see the difference. each mink lives in a cage around a metre long and is fed meat from chicken and pig. the farmer here says that the living conditions and the diet is why the fur produced here is of such a high standard. they're euthanised here too, by being placed in a box filled with carbon monoxide. their skins are then auctioned to clients across the world, including to buyers in britain. according to research, the uk sells £650 million worth of fur every year. in the 1990s, evocative antifur campaigns put many people off wearing it, but, decades on, the amount of fur being imported into the country is rising. fashion experts say smaller boutiques are partly keeping the supply and demand going.
6:50 pm
so what we had with these brilliant campaigns that were hugely successful — designers backed away from fur. it almost became toxic for them to be associated with it, but perhaps they've been a victim of their own success. there's now room, there's a new group of consumers for whom these campaigns don't have that same resonance. we spoke to several retailers, all of whom refused to go on camera over fears they could be targeted by antifur campaigners. some of the next generation of fashion designers say real fur is repugnant. i don't agree with it. i think it's inhumane and almost an insult to animals. as well as expensive, ijust think it's, there's no need for it when, like, fake fur is so incredible now. however, fake fur may not be a harmless alternative. the microfibres that come from synthetic materials like fake
6:51 pm
fur, they're being found everywhere, including tap water, bottled water and in the marine ecosystems. so a responsible society should be reducing its dependence on synthetic materials and embracing natural ones. so, fur traders argue silkworms are also killed for the material they produce and that because minks are cute, they attract public sympathy. but whether the debate is emotional or intellectual, the reality is the uk is a big trader in fur. sima kotecha, bbc news. england's cricketers had an emphatic victory in the second test against pakistan at headingley. they won by an innings and 55 runs to draw the two test series, and end a run of eight tests without a win, as adam wild reports. for too long there's been a cloud hanging over english test cricket. against pakistan a moment, then, to step out of those shadows. doing just that, jos buttler showing everyone what's been missing. his half—century up, more belligerent blows in england's
6:52 pm
lead continued to grow. this took it passed 180, praise from both sides. england on top, a welcomed sight. the clatter of wickets... that's out! were a few more welcomed sounds. jimmy anderson making sure everyone at headingley heard. his second wicket soon followed. dom bess' quite brilliant catch, the match firmly in england's grasp. bess is still feeling his way in test cricket. his first wicket, then, a very special moment. if he is part of a new start for england, it was left to the more established to bring about pakistan's end. stuart broad, criticised of late, his and england's response was emphatic. for a side so long under a cloud, their wait for a test win is finally over. adam wild, bbc news. that's it. we are back with the late news at ten. now on bbc one, it's time for the news where you are. goodbye. the prime minister has laid a wreath
6:53 pm
at the scene to remember that eight people killed by three men armed with knives. a8 others injured in an attack which began with a van being driven into pedestrians, the attackers were later shot dead by police. at the service earlier families of those who died lit candles in memory of the loved ones. the chair of trustees of borough market, told my colleague that the marketplace remains a great place for people all over the world to visit. we have been particularly reflecting on the events in the last few days, yesterday they came together quietly at the end of the day, to have a minutes silence and think about what happened and the consequences and then there has been a whole other series of events where we reflected and respected remembering particularly those who
6:54 pm
we re remembering particularly those who were killed and those who are injured andi were killed and those who are injured and i think that's the feeling if you're both in the cathedral today and now here in the streets, contemplation, calm, reflection. does the area feel different when you're on, has the blue jays, have different when you're on, has the bluejays, have people's approach changed to living and working here, has not altered at all following an act of terrorism? i think you came and walked around the area today, you probably would not think so, ibb things run a lot deeper and in today, individuals are aware and affected by this there's always something that's carried and there, but also market is a great place of community and coming together in socialisation so that unity certainly on a day today basis, makes it a great place to come and enjoy for people all over the world. of course that is reflected sadly, will he think of those who lost
6:55 pm
their lives, and that starting because of the eight people who died, only one was british. absolutely, everyone all over the world, very much london as a city as it has been throughout time, people commute to work and live and play, and on and love all of those things, this is still a place that all of that can happen, and we don't want to forget what happened here, wilbur —— remember the people and also to maintain that great tradition of people all over the world coming or socialising or living together. donald speaking to jane. martin will be here in a moment, but first the weather. good evening, many places will be warm with sunshine, like today really, no sign of any redneck live there, temperatures into the mid—20s or so, lots of blue skies but not everywhere, artificial lighting needed for the test match in leeds, but i'm sure our weather
