change protests at oxford circus. nearly 700 people have been arrested since the demonstrations started 5 days ago. and at 11:30 we'll be taking an in—depth look at the papers with our reviewers asa bennett, the telegraph's brexit editor, and the author and journalist yasmin alibhai—brown. a vigil for the murdered journalist lyra mckee has been held in londonderry, with politicians from both sides of the community coming together to remember her. the 29—year—old was struck by a bullet as she was observing an outbreak of violence in the creggan district last night. her partner sara canning,

paid tribute to her as a tireless advocate and activist, and described her death as senseless. police have started a murder inquiry and have blamed dissident republicans for her death. here's our ireland correspondent emma va rdy. an innocent bystander, lyra mckee watched from beside a police land rover as violence erupted. shots rang out. here, you can see a gunman who fired up to ten times at police lines. the 29—year—old journalist was hit by bullets. a reporter beside her tried to help. i could see a land rover and there was a young woman lying on the ground beside the land rover, unconscious. herfriends beside her. they hadn't realised what happened. someone turned around and saw her on the ground and they started screaming and it is a sound i will never forget. lyra mckee was described

as an up—and—coming journalist and she was also a gay rights activist. within the lgbt community, we have a saying that we tell people, we tell them, it gets better. what i realised that day was that it gets betterfor some of us, it gets better for those of us who live long enough to see it get better. many tributes have been paid by people who knew lyra and read her work. just after iipm last night, she was taken to hospital by police but died of her wound. officers are treating her death as a terrorist incident, and a murder enquiry is under way. this is a horrendous act. it is unnecessary, it is uncalled for, it is totally unjustified. but not only is it the murder of a young woman, it is an attack again upon the people of this city. officers believe the violence was orchestrated by the group known as the new ira.

police say dissident republicans have been planning to attack officers over the easter weekend. yesterday, they had carried out raids here on derry‘s creggan estate looking for firearms. the response was the violence which led to lyra mckee's death. the senseless murder of lyra mckee... at a vigil today, lyra mckee's partner spoke of the pain of losing the woman she'd planned a future with. it has left me without the love of my life, the woman i was planning to grow old with. we are all poorer for the loss of lyra. our hopes and dreams and all of her amazing potential was snuffed out by a single, barbaric act. hundreds lined the streets as political leaders from all the main parties and both sides of the political divide came together in a show of unity. we have political leaders, religious leaders, civic society, all standing shoulder to shoulder to say we don't want to see this, we are not going backwards. we all have to stand

against this, this is an attack on democracy, and on everybody standing here today. this city already harbours many memories from northern ireland's bloody past. there is now dismay that tensions have again resurfaced. it is terrible, i'm ashamed to be a derry man. these sort of things should be long gone. it should not be happening now. we need people like lyra, i'm sorry... i couldn't believe it, it feels to me as though we have gone ten steps back again, you know? just that type of violence in this town and the loss of young life, it's very sad and i'm very sad because this is a lovely town. despite the gains derry has made, today there is a deep sense of loss. many hoped to see a renewed stand against those who threatened to take the city back to its violent days of old. and emma vardy told us that although paramilitaries are no longer anywhere near as strong as they were during the troubles, small groups do still pose a threat.

for the most part there has been 20 yea rs of peace for the most part there has been 20 years of peace here, but there is still an undercurrent of violence that does still exist paramilitaries are nowhere near as prevalent now as they were during the troubles but small groups do still pose a threat, there are dissident republicans who still believe in engaging in violence to try and bring about a united ireland. lisa northern ireland work every day to try and counter that threat. —— police. here in derry the police say it is the group known as the new ira that pose the biggest danger. there are concerns from communities here that groups tried to influence young people to try and bring them out onto the streets, to encourage them to engage in violence. and last summer to engage in violence. and last summer particularly in derry we saw a week of rioting in the bog side and injanuary a car bomb was detonated outside the city's courthouse. but even saying that,

during the darkest days of the troubles only one journalist was ever killed, which makes the event of last night all the more shocking. and after the death of lyra mckee, we now know that dissident republicans have decided to cancel a planned illegal march that was due to ta ke planned illegal march that was due to take place, to commemorate the easter rising, and there is this feeling tonight that the death of the journalist has further damaged the journalist has further damaged the image of, people's image of these groups in people ‘s eyes. the writer and journalist, susan mckay, who was a friend of lyra's, described her as a deeply compassionate and talented journalist. she was a really lovely person, she was a brilliant writer, she was a great campaigner, she cared deeply about other people, she cared very deeply about the ability of writing to change things, and she was a really good, fun person as well. one minute she would be tweeting about how to do research and into young

people who had been murdered and disappeared, and the next she would bejoking about disappeared, and the next she would be joking about how she had fallen off the wagon at slimming well and had bags of popcorn and chocolate and everything. she wasjust had bags of popcorn and chocolate and everything. she was just a really lovely person and very brave, she had a unique writing style, she was very much a rising star of irish writing, and she had been already at the age of 29 published on some of the age of 29 published on some of the best journals in the age of 29 published on some of the bestjournals in the world. but she was very happy, she is from a working—class background in north belfast, but when she was in belfast she was living with her elderly mother, who she was devoted to, and she was actually caring for her. and then she had been enabled to move up to derry to be with sarah, her partner, who gave that heartbreaking tribute to her at the vigil in derry when she talked about her is the love of her life. and lyra had also

described sarah as being the love of her life. she was very happy, she was at the peak of her powers, she had just moved to derry and she love the city. she had plunged right into the city. she had plunged right into the heart of all the best sort of activity in the city, i heard a tribute to her earlier from the director of the rainbow project in derry which works for lgbtqi people and he described her as a hero, and he was talking about how she had taken part recently in a strictly come dancing fundraiser that she did, even though that she knew that she had, as he put it, two left feet. she was absolutely gorgeous, lovely, low performing person —— life—affirming person, and it is absolutely devastating that she has been killed in this awful, unacceptable, barbaric way. hundreds of police officers closed in on climate change protesters in central london,

as demonstrations entered a fifth day. so far, nearly 700 people have been arrested. the protestors want a drastic speeding up of the government's plan to cut carbon emissions. but many argue their target is unrealistic. sangita myska reports. following five days of disruption, this afternoon the police began the work of removing the pink boat. it had become a rallying point for climate change protesters in the very heart of the uk's busiest shopping district, oxford circus. the day had started with police officers pouring onto london's streets, drafted in to end the climate change protests that had brought parts of the capital to a standstill. the home secretary had said he expected the police to use the full force of the law. it's certainly different from the sort of protest we're

used to and, of course, we are an organisation that learns, and we will debrief this operation once it's finished, and we will learn what works and what didn't work, so if groups choose to take this approach again in future, we will be better placed to deal with it more swiftly, i think. at waterloo bridge, a stone's throw from parliament, it's a game of cat and mouse. campaigners are lifted and removed by officers, some to return hours later, to do the same again. in five days, nearly 700 arrests and no end in sight. i've come out to do my bit and we're going to come back on monday, and we'll be getting arrested again and maybe locking on here again, doing what's necessary until the government is prepared to speak with us. today in france, officers used very different tactics. at the french bank, societe generale, police used pepper spray to remove climate change protesters who'd blocked employees from getting into work.

singing. back in london, as night fell, activists near oxford street decided to sing goodbye to the boat whose passage they'd successfully halted for hours. there are now hundreds of police officers dedicated to moving this boat, but it's become a stop—start operation, and with hundreds of protesters insisting on escorting it, how long it's going to take is anyone's guess. the police clearly hope that by removing this symbol, the protesters will finally go home. it's something they say simply won't happen until the government heeds their demand for radical action to combat climate change. sangita myska, bbc news. a six—year—old boy has been hurt in a shooting in wolverhampton. police say a group of men opened fire on a house in the eastfield area of the city. the boy's injuries are not thought to be life threatening. a couple from california have been sentenced to life in prison, after subjecting their children to years of torture and starvation.

david and louise turpin pleaded guilty to the abuse of all but one of their 13 children for at least nine years. one of their sons told the court he still loves his parents, despite all the abuse. sophie long has the story. that was the moment injanuary last year that david and louise turpin's 17—year—old daughter alerted the outside world to the horrific abuse that she and many of her 12 siblings had been subjected to at the hands of their parents. it was from this suburban home in perris, california, that she'd escaped through a window and used a deactivated mobile phone to call the emergency services.

she told the emergency operator that she and her siblings lived in filth, that she had never been to a dentist, and didn't know what medication was. when rescued, all the children, except the youngest, a toddler, were severely malnourished. it was, the district attorney said, among the worst, most aggravated child abuse cases he had ever seen. today, heartbreaking scenes of deep emotional pain, as the couple listened to their children speak in a packed courtroom. i cannot describe in words what we went through growing up. sometimes, i still have nightmares of things that had happened, such as my siblings being chained up or getting beaten. but that is the past and this is now. i love my parents and have forgiven them for a lot

of the things they did to us. one of their daughters said they had a perfect life because god took good care of them, and she said she would pray for her parents often. thejudge said by pleading guilty they spared their children reliving the harm and humiliation they endured in that "house of horrors." now as the turpin children continue to try to build normal lives, it's likely their parents will spend the rest of theirs in prison. sophie long, bbc news, riverside, california. the headlines on bbc news: police investigating the murder of journalist lyra mckee in londonderry last night release cctv footage of the shooter and call for the public‘s help. an american couple, who tortured 13 children in a so called ‘house of horrors', are sentenced to life in prison. police in london have towed away a pink boat, that's been at the heart of climate change protests at oxford circus.

nearly 700 people have been arrested since the demonstrations started 5 days ago. schools and community centres in parts of the country are increasing support over the easter holidays for poorerfamilies. figures show almost 3 million children with working parents were living on the poverty line last year in the uk — a record number. the government says it's investing £9 million for more access to holiday clubs. frankie mccamley has been to a youth centre in manchester that's opening its doors at easter for the first time. schools is out and it is time for some good old—fashioned fun. after a morning of pretty impressive activities, everyone at this youth sensorin activities, everyone at this youth sensor in east manchester is working

up sensor in east manchester is working up an appetite. mash, beans and sausage. is it good? yes. now it feels amazing. how does being here compared to being at home? it's better here because you get fresh air. the scheme is in an area where almost half of families live low the poverty line. food is free today and throughout school holidays but during term time, even though meals only cost £1, some parents cannot afford to pay. what it is like when you see those young children and you see that they cannot afford to buy their food? it's heartbreaking. you watch all the children and what they have, you think we are only watching what we are serving but we are watching everywhere, looking for hungry children. no—one will go

hungry. with the support of a government grant and money from the private sector, it's the first time they have opened for easter and it isa they have opened for easter and it is a lifeline for some working pa rents. is a lifeline for some working parents. in school holidays they can have breakfast and dinner. parents. in school holidays they can have breakfast and dimenm parents. in school holidays they can have breakfast and dinner. it helped me out of a bind. manchester has one of the highest levels of child poverty in the uk. every week around 1000 children and teenagers come to this youth centre and it's notjust here. smaller schemes are being set up here. smaller schemes are being set up across here. smaller schemes are being set up across the country over easter in schools, churches and community centres. around half of the food served here is delivered by volu nteers served here is delivered by volunteers from a local food tank. a few miles away at the busy depot, despite quadrupling the number of meals they provided in the last three years, staff say there are still not enough schemes open at this time of year to feed those who need it. our partners and charity

members, theyjust do not have the resources to provide school holiday food in the summer for six weeks as well as easter so they are making ha rd well as easter so they are making hard choices. we would like more funding at easter so we can work with more charities who want to work easter holidays. and it is during the holidays when money can be tight. although child ren's the holidays when money can be tight. although children's clubs to relieve a bit of tension, counsel budgets are stretched so it will be a struggle to provide resources like this everywhere. the leaders of sudan's protest movement have announced plans to unveil a civilian government this weekend, hoping to put pressure on the army to hand over power. the transitional military council has been in control since seizing power from president omar al—bashir last week. the move comes as thousands of demonstrators gathered in the centre of the capital, khartoum, in the biggest protests since mr bashir was forced from power. our africa editor, fergal keane, reports.

whatever happens next, they'll remember this for the rest of their lives. a moment to look back on in old age, when freedom was close enough to touch. arriving in this crowd, it's the discipline, the civility which are striking. "raise your arms and we'll gently search you", they chant. every inch of room is taken and into this unexpected space are flowing the demands of the many. these are lawyers. "this is temporary change", iqbal says, "and the forces of freedom have given their demands to the military council, to form a civilian government." we went to visit the radio

of the revolution, broadcasting music and messages to the crowds. notice the youth of its volunteers, the number of women. like this lady in the centre, who returned from abroad to do her part. my dream is to come back here and live here, at home, with my family and raise my kids with my family here in sudan, and i think it's about to happen. but such dreams are still hostage to what the men with the guns do next. the faces have changed but the military is still in power. after a raft of compromises last week, there's been silence on the demand for immediate civilian rule. and there is wariness, too, on the part of traditional politicians. like the country's last democratic prime minister, overthrown in the coup that brought the military to power 30 years ago. sadiq al—mahdi here arriving for friday prayers. this is not his revolution. how do you feel about what's happening?

are you happy? "a great opening", he said, "but not yet there". by night, the streets fill to overflowing. this is the symbolic, the sacred ground of the revolution, and these scenes are a reminder that manyjunior ranks in the army are supporters of change. people here want the establishment of a civilian administration and they want it now, but there's no sign the military regime is willing to accede, yet, at least. yet they hope the crowds will simply go home, get tired. there's no sign of that, though. they have rid the country of two dictators in a week. they have forced the freeing of media, the release of prisoners, small wonder there's so much hope, even if their final victory seems tonight to hang in the balance. fergal keane, bbc news, khartoum.

2a hours after he celebrated its conclusions, president trump has renewed his attack on the mueller report, which investigated alleged russian interference in the 2016 election. mr trump said "certain people" had given statements that were "fabricated" and "totally untrue" to make him look bad. the report — which was released in redacted form yesterday — concluded that the president did not collude with the russians, but it failed to rule out potential obstructions ofjustice. our north america editor jon sopel told us about president trump's reaction. yesterday he was on a victory lap. there was this tweet, game over, zero pollution, no obstruction of justice. now that mueller report is the crazy mueller report and the people who gave evidence to it,

staff are still work at the white house, some who have left, are people who have lied to the mueller report. that is a big accusation to make because all those people were under oath. the other thing that has happened today is that the chairman of thejudiciary happened today is that the chairman of the judiciary committee happened today is that the chairman of thejudiciary committee which is run by the democrats has issued a subpoena saying it wants to see the full report and has given the attorney general until may one to bring that forward. one other lawmaker has also intervened. republican senator mitt romney has said he is sickened at the extent and evasiveness and dishonesty and misdirection by in the highest office of the land, including the president. donald trump won't like that. he has alsojust president. donald trump won't like that. he has also just tweeted just now that the report is a big fat waste of time and money. he was hoping the mueller report would be in his rearview mirror. it may be in the rearview mirror but it is not yet receding into the distance and

won't for some time yet. a 74—year—old man in north wales has suffered "life—changing injuries" after being shot with a crossbow. north wales police say the man was trying to fix a satellite dish on his roof when he was hit with a bolt just after midnight. he is in critical condition in hospital — and police are investigating. professional footballers in england and wales are boycotting social media for 2h hours today in protest against the way social networks and football authorities respond to racism. it follows a number of high—profile incidents in domestic and international matches this season. the pfa, which has organised this boycott, has said that it is just the beginning of a longer campaign designed to tackle racism head on. earlier i spoke to dr colin king from the black and asian coaches association, and asked him how well he felt the boycott had gone. a brilliant campaign that has had a

positive and profound effect. it it has generated interest across the game. it has we need to applaud the bravery of the pfa, to actually take the risk and say we need to confront it together, we need to be positive, we need to be strategic and address these issues. and yet, what is strangers when i started reading this and story was developing, the first place i went to was social media. and that is the irony. this is the media that are supposed to empower us is the media that are supposed to empower us to communicate effectively, politely and liberate us effectively, politely and liberate us to talk in a brighter way. it has imprisoned us. some communities are abusing their rights and liberties and abusing people because of their colour. we need to tackle this together. why do you think football

is being used to highlight? racism is being used to highlight? racism is not just about football, is being used to highlight? racism is notjust about football, it is everywhere. but why football? football mirrors values in society. we are now in a delicate era with the rise of populism and people saying what they like. it is almost as if football has become a place where people can become exempt from criminal process and begin to say what they like and they must not be exempt from criminal process. they must be charged, they must be taken seriously, we must campaign together to make sure everybody is safe. a 1a—month—old boy has survived a dingo attack that took place on a popular australian tourist island. the toddler suffered a fractured skull and deep cuts to his neck and head. he's recovering in hospital. from sydney, phil mercer reports. the child was rescued from the dingo's jaws by his father, who was awoken by loud screams. the toddler had been dragged several

metres in the darkness from the family's camper van on fraser island, north of brisbane. he was badly hurt, but paramedics say it could have been much worse. the dingoes made their way into the trailer and grabbed the boy and dragged him away from the camper. and the parents woke up to the baby screaming and chased after him, having to fight the dingoes off to take the boy away from the dingoes. he was apparently grabbed around the neck area and dragged away. so if it wasn't for the parents fighting off the dingoes, there would probably be severe injuries. fraser island is home to several packs of dingoes. attacks are uncommon, but earlier this year, a six—year—old boy was bitten. in 2001, another boy was killed on the island after being mauled. dingoes were at the heart of one of australia's most infamous court cases.

in 1980, a nine—week—old baby went missing at uluru, or ayers rock, in central australia. she was taken by a wild dog, but suspicion fell on her parents. the child's mother, lindy, was jailed for life for murder and her father convicted of being an accessory. it would take years for them to be exonerated. what occurred on 17 august, 1980 was that shortly after mrs chamberlain placed the baby in the tent, a dingo or dingoes entered the tent, took azaria, and carried and dragged her from the immediate area. on fraser island, specialist rangers have been brought in to warn tourists to stay away from wild dogs. if the animals responsible for the attack on the toddler can be identified, they could be put down. phil mercer, bbc news, in sydney.
