you're better off abstaining. what a way to bring up three figures! alastair cook has done it. and a standing ovation for alistair cook — england's most prolific test batsman — as he ends his international career with a century at the oval. and coming up in the sport later in the hour on bbc news, the outburst that could tear tennis apart. serena williams gains support after accusing the umpire of sexism. good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. the inquests into the deaths of five people killed in last year's westminster bridge attack have heard how lives were torn apart "by 82 seconds of high and terrible drama". four members of the public

were killed after being run down by khalid masood on the 22nd of march last year. pc keith palmer was stabbed and died in the forecourt of the palace of westminster. masood was then shot dead by armed officers. the inquests were shown cctv footage of the moment the attack unfolded. our home affairs correspondent, daniel sandford, is at the old bailey where the inquests are being held. the court here at the old bailey has been watching what were often graphic cctv images of khalid masood's cart knocking victims into the airand in masood's cart knocking victims into the air and in one case and the wheels of a bus as his car ploughed down the pavement on westminster bridge. the day began with the families paying tearful tributes to their relatives who died. the lawyers for the families described the attack as an act of barbarity and inhumanity, as indiscriminate

terrorism. the westminster bridge attack last march was the first in a year of terror. in a few brief moments the lives of four members of the public, one police officer and the attacker ended. this morning the chief coronerjudge mark lucraft opened the inquests of those who died, saying the lives of many were torn apart by 82 seconds of high and terrible drama. among those lives, those of kurt cochran and melissa cochran from utah, tourists in london calmly walking across westminster bridge when tragedy struck. kurt cochran was the first to be hit by khalid masood's car. he pushed melissa out of the way before being knocked over the bridge's balustrade falling five metres to the thames that part. in court, melissa's sister called him the man who saved my sister. she then read a

tribute and a half of melissa but described him as my inspiration, my rock star and my hero. next, the car hit a retired window cleaner, leslie rhodes, dragging him 33 metres along the bridge. his family said he was greatly missed. his niece amanda said she was incredibly angry at his death. then, aysha frade was knocked 70 metres into the path of an oncoming bus, falling under its wheels. her husband spoke of their two young daughters and said she was cruelly and brutally ripped away from us. the last victim on the bridge was andreea cristea from romania. she was knocked over the balustrade, falling i2 romania. she was knocked over the balustrade, falling 12 metres into the river thames before being recovered downstream. her family said... after two excruciating weeks of hoping for a recovery, andreea died. it was heartbreakingly

painful. next, the attacker ran round to the gates of parliament where he was challenged by pc keith palmer. he knocked into the ground and stabbed him, pc palmer died at the scene. his sister angela said keith died protecting strangers while doing hisjob. khalid masood, carrying two nights, was shot three times by an officer and died soon afterwards. his inquest will follow that of his victims next month. daniel sanford, bbc news at the old bailey. the eu's chief negotiator michel barnier says a deal on brexit can be reached by november, if talks are "realistic". it comes as a former brexit minister warned the prime minister that the conservative party faces a "catastrophic split" if she persists with her current brexit strategy. steve baker says up to 80 mps would vote against her so—called chequers proposal — in which the uk would maintain a common rule book for all goods with the european union. our political editor laura kuenssberg has the latest. arriving at the office back door.

work in the red box. tory woes splashed over the paper, the prime minister's clutching too. in 200 days she is to be the leader that ta kes days she is to be the leader that takes us out of the eu. the actual deal must be done long before. today, europe's negotiator sounded more friends and foes. today, europe's negotiator sounded more friends and foesli today, europe's negotiator sounded more friends and foes. i think that if we are realistic, we are able to reach an agreement in the first stage of the negotiation which is the brexit treaty, within six or eight weeks. the rivalry that home are bitter, though. borisjohnson hold—up at his country house, no word on his private life but objections aplenty to the government's plan for brexit. many tories that westminster hate the

so—called chequers plan where parts of the economy would stay closely tied to the eu but with no hard border in ireland. and one former brexit minister says dozens of his collea g u es brexit minister says dozens of his colleagues would vote against it, and it could even break the party. the chequers answer is threatening to split the tory party in two, with even proponents of remaining in the eu opposing chequers. where is your alternative? we will bring forward ideas, but what we aren't going to do is pre—empt them. the fundamental issueis do is pre—empt them. the fundamental issue is we've ended up in a trap bahrain design which we need to help the government out of. there's no sign of the government budging. ministers hope enough mps will choose a deal rather than none at all. can the chequers deal survive? 0f all. can the chequers deal survive? of course it will stop lee will the conservative party split over chequers? i don't think we will. we'll reach a good agreement and

have the right brexit for the country. i'm sorry, i have a sore throat. this is more than tory squabbling about europe, way past the point of who backed leave or remain, who hates all supports brexit. this is whether to theresa may can find a compromise with the rest of the eu that she can ultimately get through parliament. the belief in government is most mps would support her rather than choose unknown chaos and no deal. the truth? with no majority of her own, there can be no guarantee. laura kuenssberg, bbc news, westminster. our europe editor katya adler is in brussels. what do you read into michel barnier‘s comments? well, should theresa may be happy this evening? well, probably yes. she has got used to michel barnier wagging his finger when he talks about brexit, tapping his foot, pointing at his watch playing time is running out. today he said it's

possible that in 6—8 weeks' time there will be a brexit deal. he also spoke about the chequers plan and described it as a useful document, and he even had warm words for the prime minister herself. but, if you really look closely at michel barnier‘s words today, it was more ofa barnier‘s words today, it was more of a change in tone rather than content. he still talked about the big hurdles that have to be overcome in order to get a brexit deal like the irish border question. he said eu leaders still have key opposition to parts of the chequers deal. you could say why did he bother with the change of time today? it's because time really is running out now and eu leaders want a brexit deal this autumn. they see theresa may's political difficulties at home and they decided to throw her as much of a lifeline as they can without compromising their brexit policies. expect michel barnier‘s honeyed words to spread into the eu leaders meeting in salzburg next week. we are talking about a change in

atmospherics rather than a real sea change in the eu's brexit negotiating position. thank you. the hot summer and england's performance at the world cup both gave a boost to the economy — according to the latest figures. growth increased by 0.6 % between may and july — that was its fastest pace for almost a year. our economics correspondent andy verity is here. the economic climate enjoyed a lift from all the sunshine. the world cup cheered people up, got them out spending money on food and drink. the economy did quite well. we are talking about everything we buy and sell, every good, service, haircut, bus ride, every car that is made. add that all up, you've got the economy. injuly add that all up, you've got the economy. in july it add that all up, you've got the economy. injuly it grew by 0.3%. that's more than twice as much as the average grade that we've had over the last year. also, there were

bright spots in places which have been gloomy. example construction, which didn't do well during the beast from the east. it was cold, they couldn't get the work done. in these months it went up injuly by 0.5% there are re fuse slightly gloomy spots. manufacturing, the activity there slipped by 0.2%. that's not so great. you've got petrol prices making people spend a bit less at the pumps. although there are economic clouds on the horizon, it's definitely not want to get a brolly out yet. thank you. two men have been sentenced to life in prison for murdering a jeweller who was kidnapped and killed in a botched robbery. 74—year—old ramniklal jogiya was bundled into a van and tortured in a plot to steal almost £200,000 of gold jewellery. a third man was convicted of manslaughter and jailed for 16 years. ben ando reports. disguised in a burqa and pushing a wheeled shopping trolley, robert thomas jervis enters

a leicesterjeweller‘s injanuary. he heads to the back of the store, where he believes that up to £200,000 of gold jewellery is waiting in the safe. to get the keys and alarm codes, they tortured the shopkeeper, but the safe also had a time lock, and they left with nothing. the owner of the shop was 74—year—old ramniklal jogiya, who have left the shop as usual, but, as he walked home, was bundled into a white van. inside he was beaten so violently, one of his biceps was torn from its bone. he was then left to die on a quiet country road and his body was found the next day. jervis, who is 2a, was jailed for at least 33 years. his accomplice, charles mccauley, aged 20, will spend at least 30 years behind bars. a third man, callan reeve, was handed a 16 year sentence for manslaughter. in statements read to the court describing the impact of what had happened, the relatives of ramniklaljogiya said he had beenjust days away from celebrating his 49th wedding anniversary. they said he was a loving,

peaceful man who was the foundation of their family. his death, they added, through its pure aggression and hate, had changed for ever how they lived. ben ando, bbc news, birmingham. the time is 6.15. our top story this evening. inquests have opened into the deaths of five people killed in last year's westminster terror attack. and the end of an extraordinary era as alistair cook — england's most prolific test batsman — bows out of international cricket. coming up on sportsday in the next 15 minutes on bbc news, we'll have the latest from the oval, as alastair cook signs off from international cricket with a century — and probably an england win. you should have at least two days a week without drinking any alcohol — that's the latest recommendation from public health england for middle—aged drinkers. people aged between 45

and 65 are likely to drink more units of alcohol than they should every week. so a new health campaign is trying to highlight the benefits of alcohol—free days to lower blood pressure and to lower the risk of getting seven different types of cancer. our health correspondent dominic hughes reports. a cold beer or glass of wine. it's the way that many of us choose to unwind at the end of the day. but it's also a habit that middle—aged people in particularfind hard to break. those between 45—65 are most likely to drink more than the recommended guidelines of 11! units a week. and struggle to keep track of what they've drunk. it's difficult for everybody. it's difficult for me, even, and i work in that area all the time. so having alcohol free days is a much easier way of controlling your overall alcohol intake during the week as well as having immediate benefits for your health and well—being. according to a yougov poll, two—thirds of regular drinkers say they find cutting down on alcohol harder than improving diet,

exercise or even stop smoking. and one in five people surveyed drank more than the recommended 11! units a week. that's around six glasses of wine or six pints of beer. and the idea of some alcohol—free days is one that's already been taken up by some in this pub, all of them enjoying soft drinks. i feel more focused and more alert. my skin feels better. it's usually due to work. i start early in the morning, so it's not really worthwhile a drink during the week. if you have one, it leads to two, three, four or more, some nights. you're better offjust abstaining. of course, nowadays most drinking takes place not in pubs but in the home, and, when you are drinking at home, it's really difficult to keep track ofjust how much alcohol you are getting through. that's why public health england hope that today's message, that you should abstain from alcohol for two or more days a week, will help reduce the harm

that is caused by alcohol. for the past decade, sue sullivan, a busy mum of three, has gone alcohol—free for two days a week. now she's trying a sober september, so it's soft drinks all round. you might have a blow out holiday, you're not exercising enough, not eating quite the right foods and probably drinking more rose wine than you should. it is quite a nice time in september to start sort of resetting those habits. middle—aged people don't tend to drink to get drunk but more as a social habit. today's message is break that habit and you'll soon feel the benefits. dominic hughes, bbc news, manchester. the man in charge of policing on the day of the hillsborough disaster — david duckenfield — has pleaded not guilty to the manslaughter by gross negligence of 95 liverpool supporters. the former chief superintendent appeared via videolink at preston crown court.

our correspondent danny savage is there. next year will be the 30th anniversary of the hillsborough disaster. the police match commander that day in 1989 is now 7a years old. david duckenfield did appear by video link here at preston crown court this morning. in court with thejudge, and court this morning. in court with the judge, and the court this morning. in court with thejudge, and the barristers, the public gallery had relatives of the 95 people who died in the hillsborough disaster all of those yea rs hillsborough disaster all of those years ago. at the beginning of proceedings it was put to mr duckenfield that he was charged with manslaughter by gross negligence of 95 football supporters and that long list of 95 names was read out in court, one by one, over a period of several minutes, with the court falling silent as that list was read out. he was asked whether he pleaded guilty or not guilty dollars 95 charges. he clearly said not guilty on the video link. appearing alongside them was graeme mcdowell,

the club secretary at sheffield wednesday at the time, he denies two safety charges. both of them will appearfor trial here safety charges. both of them will appear for trial here at preston early next year. technology means that a four—day working week will be possible in the future — so long as businesses are forced to share the benefits of new technology with their workforce. that's the claim from the tuc, which is using its annual conference to call on the government to take action to help people work less but still get paid the same. they argue artificial intelligence, robotics and automation could provide a major boost to the economy. here's our business correspondent colletta smith. the owners of this studio space in cardiff are taking a different view of the working week. staff get a full pay cheque, but only work for four days. we felt that we had an opportunity to prove something that i felt was true — that people could be as productive in four days as five. if it does nothing more than have people who work for you who are less stressed, that will benefit us in productivity at the end of the day anyway,

because happier people work better. staff are making the most of their time off. sometimes, if you use your day to get the hoovering done and get the house chores done, you've then got your weekend wide open and you're not playing catch—up. it's rare i take a set day, if i'm honest. it can be just working shorter days across the week. i write short stories and various different things, which i probably wouldn't have the time or the energy to do otherwise. it's terrific for managing your family commitments, school runs, being there for those. who doesn't want to work less hours if they can? in sweden, a trial of six—hour working days was stopped after the city of gothenburg said it was too expensive to buy in extra ca re workers. but could things be different in other industries? when a company buys a new piece of technology and makes more money from it, rather than the bosses and the shareholders keeping that extra cash, unions want them to share

the benefits by giving their staff more time off. when new sorting machines were introduced by royal mail, the postal workers' union fought for exactly that to happen. their working week has now gone from 39 hours to 35 hours. if we ignored it then that would be us ignoring our conscience and leaving it to another generation or somebody else. it's got to start somewhere, all these things have to start somewhere, and that dispute for us was the line in the sand. it's clear that technology will play a bigger role in every industry in the years ahead. companies' attitudes will dictate if that will be a threat or a treat for the workforce. colletta smith, bbc news. vanellope wilkins was born with her heart outside her body and with no breastbone. after spending the first nine months of her life in hospital, the little girl from nottingham, has been allowed home

for the first time. she is the only child with this rare condition to have survived in the uk. this report from our medical correspondent fergus walsh contains some graphic images. this is the moment vanellope's parents dreamed of, taking her home from hospital. it is just it isjust for one it is just for one night foray trial visit but they chose the remarkable progress this baby girl has made. she has fought all the way to be here. nine months down the line. she is finally sat in our front room. during pregnancy, ultrasound scans clearly showed vanellope's heart was outside her chest. so, at birth at glenfield hospital in leicester, she was immediately sent for surgery. it took three operations to put her heart back inside and close the wound. her parents were told she had less than a 10% chance of survival, but vanellope has defied the odds. she has no breastbone and so nothing

protecting her heart, which is why she wears this purple brase, which will be crucial once she starts to crawl. in a few years' time, she will need more surgery to build a breastbone. the bigger she is, the easier it will be for us to do some reconstructive surgery and using her own cartilages and bones or using some artificial materials. vanellope was transferred to queen's medical centre in nottingham in may to be nearer home. she's continued to make excellent progress, but needs help to breathe, and sometimes a mask, to ensure a constant supply of oxygen. her parents are being taught how to manage her care. if they are taking over charge of a child who needs breathing support to sustain their life, they need to be adequately trained and competent to manage all the equipment, to know when to escalate care,

to check for help and to manage emergency situations at home. despite the challenges ahead, vanellope's parents say that they are looking forward to having her home for good. fergus walsh, bbc news. and you can see more of vanellope wilkins's story on inside out on bbc one in the east midlands, tonight at 7:30 — you can also watch it — wherever you are in the uk — on the bbc iplayer. the women's tennis association has backed claims by serena williams that she was treated in a sexist way by the umpire in the final of the us open. you owe me an apology! i never cheated in my life! the governing body for women's tennis said the umpire would have shown williams more tolerance over her outbursts if she'd been a man. the 23—times grand slam champion was given a penalty point for racquet abuse and docked a game for calling the umpire a "thief" — during her defeat to naomi osaka.

he began his international career with a cenutry against india back in 2006 and today england's most prolific batsman, alastair cook, ended his test career in exactly the same way. he was given a long standing ovation after scoring a century in the fifth test against india at the oval. joe wilson is there. some of those standing ovations were so some of those standing ovations were so long today some fans barely sat down. 100 is a magicalfigure in cricket. it signifies you have done something special, and there is that remarkable symmetry to alastair cook ending as he began. if that sounds perfect, i guess that's because it was. it works like this. they stand, he delivers. monday morning, alastair cook goes back to work. the fairy tale ending we may have written in our imaginations was his to make real. through 80, past 90, alastair cook's aim seemed as straight and true as ever before.

nervous? well, composure was lost... by the indian fielders. one run became five when a wayward throw reached the boundary, and cook was there, past 100. in his final innings, his defining image. watching, some who know him as dad, a team—mate who has known him his whole career and those who came for one reason. it was history in the making. and i can say i was there. a surge of emotions. my very first professional cricket match, as well. your first was here today, for that? yes, yes. wonderful. couldn't have been better, could it? it's good for fans across the board when someone who's served cricket goes out on a high. you see all of these greats and in the end, they are being pushed off, but not him. i think he deserved it. well, cook's day was served by the captain. joe root made 125 as england built a huge lead.

root had told me last week he thought it was "written in the stars" that cook would make 100 in this match. well, 147 was alastair cook's final, final score. the clamour for a cook comeback is easy to imagine but those who excel in elite sport often struggle to know when to stop, and could it ever end better than this? in the match, india are over 400 i’u ns in the match, india are over 400 runs behind, already three wickets behind in the second innings so alastair cook can expect to win his final test match here tomorrow. what a way to go out. time for a look at the weather... here's louise lear. it was beautiful at the oval but some might say this was better, with glorious scenes in the south coast and temperatures in the low 20s. but the cloud has been thick enough to bring some rain, some of it becoming

heavy. in the last few hours we can see it moving across parts of scotla nd see it moving across parts of scotland and northern ireland. some heavy bursts and strengthening gusty winds in excess of 30 miles an hour as we speak. and going through the night, dell force gusts of wind knocked out of the question. that heavy rain will move out of scotland and push into the north of england and push into the north of england and wales overnight. quiet in the south—east, not quite as cold there. we start of morning with some of that rain around. it could be dismal in the early morning rush hour. if you look at the finer detail in scotla nd you look at the finer detail in scotland you can see bands of showers across the northern isles but still, gusts of wind in excess of 40 mph. heavy rain pushing into the north—west of england and wales. gradually making its way into the north midlands and sinking south through the afternoon. breezy for all of us, and eventually we see more cloud into the south—east with more cloud into the south—east with more rain arriving later on. the

south—east might cling on to the last of the warmth this week but, behind it, breezy, cooler, fresh conditions with highs of around 16 celsius. that weather front meanders its way north and south and we will see pulses of more wet weather. it will be still sitting across parts of lincolnshire and the midlands and down into the south—west. it will bring further rain, quite usable rain into the south—east corner and it heralds a change for all of us by wednesday. cooler, pressure, autumnal flavour to the weather with top temperatures of around 13—17 degrees, and that is how it will continue for the remainder of the beat. that's all from the bbc news at, so it's goodbye from me, and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc‘s news teams where you are. hello this is bbc news. the headlines: the coroner at the inquests of those who died in the westminster bridge attack says many lives were torn apart. cctv footage was shown,

including images of tourist kurt cochran with his wife on the bridge, seconds before he was killed. the eu's chief negotiator, michel barnier, says it could be possible to reach a deal on brexit by november. he said an agreement on the first stage of the uk's withdrawal could be reached within six to eight weeks. following the latest criticism from borisjohnson, there are new warnings from senior tories that the party will split if the prime minister sticks with her chequers plan. middle—aged drinkers are urged to have at least two alcohol—free days a week, after some say cutting back
