39 people are now known to have died after a bridge collapsed in italy — a number of others are still missing. rescuers are spending a second night searching for survivors, but hopes are fading of finding any more people alive beneath the rubble in genoa. dozens of other motorists on the bridge at the time describe their narrow and dramatic escapes — among them a british couple from oxford. people were running, screaming in italian, "run, out!" "run, out, cars, out." "run!" so we were just literally, "kids, run!" "run!" because we didn't know what was happening. we'll be live in genoa with the latest. also tonight... more details emerge about the 29—year—old british citizen being questioned by police over yesterday's suspected terror attack in westminster. the bbc says it won't appeal against a court ruling that it breached sir cliff richard's privacy by covering a police raid on his home. rail commuters face an increase of more than 3% for many tickets, sparking a row over how rises are calculated. a bell tolls in omagh, 20 years after the real ira bombing which left 29 people and two unborn children dead. more than 4000 wins —

that's what it takes to be britain's most successful racehorse trainer. we meet the man who's on the verge of breaking that record. and coming up on sportsday on bbc news. manchester city could be without midfielder kevin de bruyne for a long spell after he suffered a knee injury at training today. good evening. search parties are spending a second night digging through the rubble of a collapsed bridge in northern italy as they search for survivors. 39 people were killed when part of the suspension bridge in genoa crashed 150 feet to the ground. yesterday rescue teams say they could hear people calling out for help but now hopes of finding them alive are fading. 0ne couple from 0xfordshire

who were seconds away from the part of the bridge that collapsed have described how they ran for their lives with their two children. the italian prime minister has declared a state of emergency for genoa, which is one of italy's busiest ports. from there james reynolds sent us this report. can there be anyone left underneath all this? to find out, rescuers will have to search under every broken concrete slab. but signs of life from beneath the rubble have now died away. translation: we haven't heard any cries since yesterday afternoon, but we may still find survivors. looking up, you can see that some vehicles have been abandoned right on the edges of the section which is still standing, just ahead of the collapse. a few more seconds and those drivers would have crashed to the ground. they were all incredibly lucky to survive.

nicola and lisa henton—mitchell from 0xfordshire were here on holiday with their two kids. they told me they were driving towards the bridge when they saw a commotion up ahead. people started shouting, waving their arms to reverse out of the windows. tooting horns and everything like that. so we tried to reverse and we couldn't go anywhere. the car in front hit the front of our car. then people were running, screaming in italian, "run! out!" "everyone, out, cars, out." so we just literally, "kids, run, run!" because we didn't know what was happening. we made our sonjust run and we sort of grabbed our daughter's hand and started running but we couldn't pick her up because all the car doors were flying open, people everywhere. torrential rain was coming down. screaming and... our daughter took her shoes off because she was just going to sleep before. she hasn't got her glasses. we left everything in the car and we just ran for our lives. they took shelter in a motorway tunnel and waited for help.

many other drivers ahead of them lost their lives. the victims include roberto robbiano, his wife ersilia and their seven—year—old son, samuele. andrea cerulli was 48. he had a young son. he was killed on his way to work. 35—year—old father of four luigi matti altadonna was driving his work van. matteo bentornati, giovanni battiloro, gerardo esposito and antonio stanzione were all in their 20s and on their way to spain. they'd originally planned to fly but they ended up hiring a car instead. the country's prime minister, giuseppe conte, in just his third month as italy's leader, promises immediate steps. translation: these are unacceptable tragedies that should not

happen in a modern society. this government will do everything to prevent such tragedies from happening again. but this has been promised before, yet for years, successive governments have failed to fix italy's crumbling infrastructure. many italians will ask why this new administration should be any different. and james joins me now. are the authorities any closer to finding out by the bridge collapsed so finding out by the bridge collapsed so dramatically? no, but the public prosecutor's office in genoa will begina criminal prosecutor's office in genoa will begin a criminal investigation. the prime minister says he wants anybody responsible held to account. mr co nte responsible held to account. mr conte has responsible held to account. mr co nte has access responsible held to account. mr conte has access to special funds which will allow him to make the area safer. beyond that italy faces

wider questions. how has this country perpetuated over so many yea rs country perpetuated over so many years a country perpetuated over so many yea rs a culture country perpetuated over so many years a culture which has allowed its infrastructure to degrade? italy spends less money on its bridges and roads than other similarly sized european countries, and even when it spends that it is often wasted on corruption mismanagement. one engineer said about this bridge when it was standing that it was more expensive to maintain it than it would have been to knock it down and start over. italy may have to consider changing the way its country works. james reynolds, thank you. more details are emerging about the man who crashed a car into barriers outside the houses of parliament yesterday in a suspected terror attack. salih khater, who's 29, is a british citizen who came from sudan as a refugee. police are continuing to search an address in birmingham. our midlands correspondent sima kotecha reports. a british national of sudanese origin. salih khater came to this country eight years ago. he's now under arrest under suspicion of terror charges

and attempted murder. on monday night, police say he drove to london from birmingham. and then on tuesday morning the vehicle he was allegedly driving swerved into pedestrians and cyclists before crashing into a barrier outside the houses of parliament. plainclothes officers searched three properties in birmingham, including this building where the suspect once lived. he didn't talk that much. i know him from the shisha lounge upstairs. he used to sit right opposite me, or right on the corner. never used to say anything. a very quiet man? very, very. the bbc understands that salih khater lived in the flat above this cafe for at least nine months. he moved out earlier this year and today several customers here have told us that he regularly visited the area up until very recently. we have obtained a copy of his cv.

in it, he says after going to school in sudan, he spent time working in libya. in 2010, he arrived in the uk as a refugee. according to the document, between working various jobs he took an english course. we understand he went on to study science and last year enrolled in an accountancy course, but left after failing his first year. he describes himself as honest and responsible. today his sister told us he was hard—working and had no links with fundamentalists. translation: i used to call him every day because my mother is sick. without him, we can take to the doctor. —— with houghton, we cannot. we usually call him and he transfers the money to take mother to the doctor and buy her medication. that day, i called him more than once but his

phone was switched off. in westminster all the cordons have now been lifted. a day after the arrest, police continue with trying to piece together what happened and why. they say their priority is understanding whether there was any motivation behind the incident. sima kotecha, bbc news. our homes affairs correspondent daniel sandford is at scotland yard. are the police convinced now that this was a terrorist attack? the end of the second day of this investigation, any motivation behind what happened is very much an open question. what normally happens when there was any politically motivated oi’ there was any politically motivated or terrorist attack is one of three senior counterterrorism detective is formally declares a terrorist incident, it is a bureaucratic procedure but it is what normally happens. in this case, no terrorist incident has been officially declared amber likely explanation is

that during searches and investigation so far, police have not found any significant amount of material suggesting a motivation, what is sometimes called mindset material. yes, the suspect is being held on suspicion of terrorism and on suspicion of attempted murder, but police do not so far see any extremism behind that, which starts to raise the possibility that might have been another motivation, if there was any, for what happened, some sort of personal crisis, perhaps. we have learned how incredibly busy counterterrorism detective still are at scotland yard and around the country and at the end ofjune 676 live investigations we re end ofjune 676 live investigations were being run by counterterrorism police and mi5, up from 500 injust three months. thank you. the bbc says it will not appeal after losing a high court case about its coverage of a police raid on sir cliff richard's home in 2014. last month, a judge ruled that the corporation had infringed the singer's privacy in broadcasting

a police search of his property in berkshire and awarded him 210,000 pounds in damages. sir cliff was never arrested or charged during the inquiry by south yorkshire police into an historical child sex allegation. today, the bbc said it remained very concerned that the ruling would limit the ability of journalists to report on police investigations. our media editor amol rajan reports. cheering last month the bbc was found guilty of a serious invasion of sir cliff richard's privacy. the corporation, which had filmed a police raid on his home in august 2014, was forced to pay vast damages and legal costs, already at £1.9 million and set to grow. but because the judgment created new case law, its director of news and current affairs warned of a serious threat to british journalism. the judge also made clear that even if there was no footage of the search and the story had less prominence, the very naming of sircliff would have been unlawful. this creates a significant shift

against press freedom. the issue is whether suspects in police cases can be named by journalists before they're charged. while privacy can and will be breached, reporters argue that naming suspects allows them to scrutinise the police and often encourages other victims to come forward. today the corporation said, that based on legal advice, it will not appeal the decision. instead the director general has written to the attorney general asking him to review the law in this area. doing so would allow newspapers, many of whom backed the corporation, to influence a debate on the future of privacy law. we think and the whole media thinks there is an important principle at stake and that the judge has extended law in this area in a very unhelpful way. we always thought there was a principle at stake and we were always prepared to settle with sir cliff on everything other than the principle and made many offers to do so. but the principle is important us. many legal minds believe the bbc was unwise to fight the case in the first place.

i think editors misunderstand the position. what this case illustrates, and this has been a long—term problem in britain, is a failure to appreciate the importance of privacy rights. they don't trump freedom of expression rights, but they're of equal value and must be balanced against them. the bbc is undoubtedly damaged by this case. a big editorial misjudgment has been compounded by a failed and expensive legal battle that many warned against. until now, no heads have rolled, despite the wishes of sir cliff. while a letter to the attorney general could buy some time and media goodwill, it's not clear this falls within his remit. the editor of one national title believes that british journalism has become tougher. this ruling tips the balance too far towards secrecy. it will help innocent people like sir cliff but it will also hurt countless victims of crime. it will make it harder to get convictions in some cases. there can be a domino effect when news of an investigation breaks and other witnesses come forward.

multiple cases in recent years show that. it's not clear how this case will affect the freedom of the press, but it is clear that sir cliff richard feels hurt and wronged and the bbc has spent public money on a lost fight. amol rajan, bbc news. police in west yorkshire have charged 31 people with offences linked to child exploitation in huddersfield including rape, trafficking and sexual assault. our correspondentjudith moritz in is huddersfield for us now. judith, what more can you tell us? west yorkshire police say that the 31 people charged, 30 are men and one is a woman. they are accused of sexual crimes against children dating back to the period between 2005 and 2012. of those charged, the majority are thought to be of

british pakistani heritage. they are accused of crimes against five women who were girls at the time as young as 12 years old. of those who are facing charges, most face at least one count of rape. there are three men who also face trafficking charges and west yorkshire police today for legal reasons haven't released all of the names of those facing prosecution. there is very little extra detail. what i should say is because of the numbers of people being prosecuted they will be dealt with by the court over two days, they are expected to appear before magistrates in huddersfield at the start of next month on the fifth and 6th of september. studio: thank you. rail passengers are facing a rise in the cost of train tickets, after a jump in inflation. regulated fares in much of the uk will increase injanuary by 3.2%, in line with the retail price index. but that's more than the government's preferred inflation measurement,

the consumer prices index, which is 2.5%. the rise in fares could add more than £100 a year to the cost of some annual season tickets. our transport correspondent tom burridge reports. people have accepted that they don't have a choice, and they feel exploited, to some extent. passengers are really frustrated. you can see today, i'm standing right next to the door, could just about get into the train. commuters crammed into a rickety old carriage early this morning. i payjust over £1,000 a year. john has two kids and commutes from appley bridge, outside wigan, into manchester. it's just absolutely horrendous. sometimes one train turns up, sometimes they don't. now his season ticket could cost an extra £32 next year, in line with inflation. i don't know how they can justify that when they can't even get it to run on time at the best of times, so it's an absolute disgrace. remember, this is august, when things are supposed to be quiet, but after half an hour of ourjourney, it was standing room only.

and remember, these passengers have suffered weeks of disruption, with cancellations and delays. amid the anger overjanuary‘s rail fare rise, the government has now suggested that a lower measure of inflation — the consumer price index, rather than the retail price index — should be used in future to produce smaller increases to ticket prices, but it says costs, like rail workers' wages, should go up at a lower rate, too. salaries amount to about half the costs of the industry as a whole, so you can't make adjustments without working with the unions as well. i'm really disappointed they've just said no. they've said, basically, we want our members to have higher pay rises than everybody else. the unions say the idea is a bad joke. labour agrees. chris grayling then trying to blame rail workers for this is absurd. it's his decision, his decision to keep this privatised network in operation, and there's a lot of people making a lot of money out of it and a lot of commuters paying an awful lot more to travel.

paying more only works for sean and his daughter sophie if the answer is a better service. if it was a newer train, there were enough carriages and they always ran on time, you'd be happy to pay it, but at the minute it doesn't feel good value for money. the group representing train operators says improvements are being made. 98p in every £1 from fares is going back into learning is going back into running and improving the railway. we've got a long—term plan to invest £50 billion to make the railway better, notjust for people who use it but for the nation's economy and for communities up and down the country. with more of us using trains, the conundrum is who should pay for a better, more affordable service? tom burridge, bbc news, in greater manchester. president trump has tonight stripped the former director of the ciajohn brennan of his security clearance. mr brennan has been a fierce critic of the trump administration. the security clearance of other former officials, who are also opponents of mr trump, is also under review. our north america editorjon sopel

is in washington for us tonight. a dramatic move, how has he justified it? the statement that was read out on behalf of the president was that it was because ofjohn brennan's erratic behaviour, wild outbursts and frenzied comment terry but at no point was there any suggestion that mr brennan had disclosed classified information or tried to make money from his security clearance. it is also worth pointing out the other people on the list all have one thing in common, who might in future lose their security clearance, they are also critics donald trump so the question becomes, is this a matter of national security or political, kind of, you mustn't criticise our president? john kerry has come out this evening, the former us secretary of state, and said donald trump is behaving like the ruler of a banana republic. john brennan himself has commentated that this is the action of a despot. one other

interesting part of it is that dan coats, the director of national intelligence who will be at the centre of this, knew nothing about the decision the president has taken to re m ove the decision the president has taken to remove mr brennan's security clea ra nce. to remove mr brennan's security clearance. one other thing worth noting, the white house has been assailed over the past few days by the disclosures of omarosa, a former senior adviser to the presidency was very dissipated. it is also the closing arguments in the case of paul manafort, the former campaign manager of donald trump. this was an unscheduled briefing the white house gave to announce mr brennan's security clearance being revoked. it looks like they want to change the subject somewhat. jon sopel washington, thank you. 48 people have been killed and dozens more have been injured in a bomb explosion at an education centre in the afghan capital, kabul. many of those killed are believed to be teenagers who were getting extra tuition as they prepared for university entrance exams. the taliban has denied involvement. our diplomatic correspondent james robbins reports. after all the decades of conflict in afghanistan, another horror.

young people, teenagers, the country's future, deliberately targeted by a suicide bomber who simply walked into their class as they studied for university. translation: my brother was studying at the education centre and he was killed in the blast. i am here to receive his body. two of them were injured as i have seen but most of them, unfortunately, they have been killed. the taliban deny attacking the school. it's more likely to have been the work of so—called islamic state or daesh. my colleague in afghanistan, shoaib sharifi, described what happened. the police say a suicide bomber was on foot and entered through this centre into the very big classroom housing at least up to 100 students, boys and girls. the suicide bomber, according to eyewitnesses, reached here and detonated his explosives. it's been a horrific year in afghanistan, even by the standards of a very bloody conflict.

the un says 1,692 civilians were killed in the in the first six months of this year, a record high since they started collating figures in 2009. the government is still battling to get control of many areas of afghanistan. they do hold these areas in grey, but those shown in red are held by insurgents and those in yellow are fiercely contested. it's still a grim picture, and attempts to launch peace talks with the taliban are faltering, at best. in recent days, the taliban demonstrated its strengths, seizing large parts of the city of ghazni before being pushed back. officials say at least 100 government soldiers were killed, adding to huge afghan losses since us—led nato troops pulled out of the country in 2014. it has led to intense doubt in washington about the way ahead and to britain sending over 400 extra troops back to afghanistan, but to train and support, not to fight.

one task is simply to move international advisers around kabul and try to protect them from attack. but the much wider struggle to help the afghan government strengthen its fragile hold on the country, that's very far from being won. james robbins, bbc news. hundreds of thousands of students will find out their a—level results tomorrow. but today, it was the turn of students studying vocational courses in england. the courses in subjects ranging from applied law to sport science are based on continuous assessment and work experience rather than exams. many students go on to university or straight into the workplace, as our correspoendent steph mcgovern reports from gateshead. when it comes to education, it's not all about gcses and a—levels. these are some of the millions of people studying for vocational qualifications. it's everything from robotics, catering, performing arts, engineering, hairdressing, we've got sport and health and social care, to name a few. so, sarah, does that

mean you passed ? yes. well done. so do you start yourjob? yeah, i start at the salon next week. that's really good. congratulations! congratulations. and you're starting at uni? both: yeah. christabel decided to do a btec in computer gaming at 34 after having two kids. then midway through, another one came along. you've had your hands full. you've just had a little baby and you just got your qualification. congratulations for both! thank you. why did you decide to go to college and study? erm, i was working with the nhs for quite some time. i didn't enjoy the job any more so i decided to go back to college. it was hard at first, really difficult, but the teachers were so supportive and the students. that was what helped me through. what is next? i've done my hnd. i will go to university and i am planning to become a game designer, an independent game designer. like christabel, rhianne,

who did cyber security, and kayleigh, who did health care, got top marks. why did you decide to do vocational study rather than a—levels? it kind of was more suited to me because you do experience with coursework. i found with a—levels, it's generally like with gcses, you have a big exam at the end of the year and that's what your entire course relies on. with btec, it's individual assignments. so as well as doing coursework, i've also worked for a north—east cancer charity and i've worked for the elderly people, doing like a tea dance. employers really, really rate vocational qualifications, the reason being that these are equipping graduates with a number of practical skills which actually translate really, really well into the workplace. so if these types of qualifications are crucial for employers, then i think it's fair to say they are more valuable than people give them credit for. steph mcgovern, bbc news, gateshead. the england and gloucester rugby

player danny cipriani has been arrested and charged following an incident at a nightclub injersey. police say the 30—year—old fly—half was arrested in the early hours of this morning in st helier. he's been charged with five offences, including assault and resisting arrest. he's due to appear atjersey magistrates' court tomorrow morning. hundreds of people have attended a service in the centre of omagh to mark the 20th anniversary of the bombing by the real ira group which left 29 people dead, including a woman who was pregnant with twins. it was one of the worst atrocities of the troubles in northern ireland. no one's ever been convicted. from omagh, our ireland correspondent emma vardy reports. the horror of omagh was unprecedented. the carnage and panic of that day will forever be in the memories of those who survived. when they came in and said, "there's a bomb scare, would you move down?"

kevin skelton had been shopping in town with his wife. they each walked into different stores. this brief moment that separated them was fateful. and as i turned to come round, to come out — bang! the bomb went off. he found his wife lying in the rubble of the shop just next door. i lifted her arm. i couldn't feel any pulse. i knew she was dead. 29 people were killed by the car bomb, including a woman who was pregnant with twins. it had been detonated in the busiest part of town by a breakaway republican group known as the real ira. it was so loud that the car bounced off the road. people were running, screaming, calling, and i met children huddling together. paddy mcgowan gave first aid. more than 200 people were injured that day and thousands more traumatised. how do you feel, 20 years on, when you come back to this spot? it still makes the hairs stand

on the back of my neck. i don't come up and down here too often. i try to avoid it as much as i can. today in omagh, a bell was rung for each of the lives lost. hundreds gathered in the high street for a two—minute silence to mark the final annual commemoration of the atrocity — an act of remembrance and unity. when they put that car on this street, they thought they were going to divide it, but they've brought this community tighter together. omagh was always a mixed community, which came together after the attack and continues to do so today, but people here live in the knowledge that despite thousands of hours of investigation and many arrests, there have never been any criminal convictions for the killings. for many, hopes have now faded of ever seeing justice. today, petals were scattered for those who lost their lives, and tributes were paid to omagh's survivors, who never let this

tragedy divide them. emma vardy, bbc news, omagh. one of the most prestigious records in british horse racing is on the verge of being broken. markjohnston, who's been training horses for more than 30 years, needs just four more victories to become the country's most successful trainer in terms of race wins. the current record of 4,193 victories is held by richard hannon. our sports correspondent andy swiss reports. at his training base in yorkshire, a man with history in his sights. markjohnston started out as a vet in his hometown of glasgow but switched his attention to racing with extraordinary results. this win on sunday was his 4,190th as a trainer, the brink of a new british record. west end charmer eventually coasts home. it has been some journey. johnston's first—ever winner was hinari video back in 1987

and three decades on, times have certainly changed since then. the most abiding memory of it is coming home and watching teletext all night, just putting the results on teletext and having nothing else on the television all night, because there were obviously no racing channels in those days. i had huge ambitions to train lots and lots of good winners but i don't know that i was thinking about 4,194. well, the key to markjohnston's remarkable feat has been consistency. he has trained more than 100 winners here in each of the last 25 years, sustained success the like of which british sport has rarely seen. johnston's state—of—the—art facilities, including an equine swimming pool, have also helped. those who know him best say his spirited innovation has
