a retrial, after her murder conviction was reduced to manslaughter, on the grounds of diminished responsibility. sally challen who's 65, was freed, having already served close to nine years injail. her defence team argued in court that throughout her thirty year marriage, her husband subjected her to coercive control. at a news conference she said, she still loved him. a warning, our home affairs correspondentjune kelly's report does contain some flash photography. eight years ago, sally challen was jailed as a murderer. today she left the old bailey a free woman after the emergence of new psychiatric evidence. with her, her two sons, james and david, who have always supported her. ijust wanted to say how happy i am, and i want to thank my legal team and all my family, who stood behind me and stood with me through all of this.

thank you. as a family we are overjoyed with today's verdict. we have endured nine years of this. today recognises and hears a case of detailing 40 years of coercive control by our father. as a family we have sought justice and to understand the events, to stop lives being lost and for victims to be recognised. sally challen was said to be emotionally abused by her husband richard throughout their marriage. they made their home in surrey and on the surface he was a normal family man. but the families say richard challen subjected his wife two decades of emotional abuse, what is known as coercive control. richard challen was unfaithful throughout his marriage, visiting brothels and even posing with glamour models on his christmas cards. in 2009, sally challen finally moved out. but described as still emotionally dependent on her husband she appealed for a reconciliation

and richard challen agreed. she set off for her old family home but in her handbag was a hammer. after discovering that her husband had been in contact with another woman she hit him more than 20 times with the hammer. at a news conference, sally challen spoke about the man she was with for a0 years. i still love richard and miss him dreadfully and i wish that none of this had happened. applause and from her son, david, there was this... to have my mother back is... it is no words. back to being a son again, back to her being an infuriating mother.

so sally challen now resumes her family life. her case will lead to renewed debate on the damage done by domestic abuse when there are no physical injuries. claire mawer is from justice for women, who supported sally challen‘s legal fight. and we'll find out how this story and many others are covered it is wonderful to see her walk free after she has endured so much. there is nothing more fulfilling. how difficult has it been for her?m has been an extraordinary battle, there were moments where she lost hope and thought this would never happen and the fact that it has is a testa m e nt to happen and the fact that it has is a testament to her legal team and also her perseverance and support that she has received from herfamily and friends. can you clarify what is coercive control? a pattern of

emotional abuse that is perpetrated against individual women who are vulnerable and it is often the precursor to more serious, physical and sexual violence. and she severed that over huge period of time? yes, she was married to her husband for over 30 years and it has been accepted and found by the court that she was subjected to that level of abuse during the entire course of their relationship. and some physical abuse as well? namely, coercive control and some instances of sexual violence also. but she said, we saw her saying that she still loved him and it is heartbreaking to hear that, isn't it? it is a reflection of the close tie between partners and it is almost impossible to sever that tie. you do not fear the bonds of love and affection that exist in other relationships that you may be familiar with. and you are now

working for other cases, how many are there? in 2018, there were ten cases we are aware of where women killed following abuse and in intimate relationships, at least ten women we know and approximately half of the convicted, have murder and half manslaughter and that is a snapshot of the extent of the problem. what is the key problem between the legal system to getting justice? the justice system is not equipped to tell their stories effectively so the jury and indeed the defence team and persecution come to understand the full extent of the trauma and violence they have suffered. and we'll find out how this story and many others are covered in tomorrow's front pages. at ten forty and eleven thirty this evening in the papers. 0ur guestsjoining me tonight are kevin schofield the editor of politicshome,

and benedicte paviot, who's the uk correspondent for france 2a, and president of the foreign press association. three hospital patients in manchester and liverpool have died and three others are seriously ill, following an outbreak of listeria. the cases have been linked to pre packed sandwiches and salads, prepared for patients. our health correspondent dominic hughes gave this update from one of the affected hospitals in manchester. listeria is an infection that in healthy people can cause a mild stomach upset or even pass unnoticed, but for those who are very well, seriously unwell, it can be a very different story and a very threatening condition, and that's clearly the case for the six patients who contracted listeria here at central manchester university hospital, and also at liverpool's aintree hospital. of those six patients, three have died, two sadly passed away here in manchester and one at aintree. the outbreak has been traced back to prepacked sandwiches and salads that were supplied to the nhs

by a company called the good food chain. now they have voluntarily ceased production. they say they're reliant on the quality of the foods supplied to them in turn and indeed the fillings in the sandwiches were supplied by a company called north country cooked meat, where production has also been stopped after listeria was discovered at one of their production plants. public health england says there is no evidence of outbreaks outside of the health care system and they say that the risk to the general public is very low. meanwhile the food standards agency have begun an investigation into how this outbreak occurred in the first place and also to identify whether any other vulnerable groups may be at risk. the labour pary‘s celebrating it's victory in the peterborough by election, after a close fought contest, with the brexit party. labour hung onto the seat by just 683 votes, with the conservatives coming in third. the new mp, lisa forbes, says her victory shows the public, have ‘rejected

the politics of division'. the by election was called after the former mp, fiona 0nasanya, was convicted of lying about a speeding offence. here's our deputy political editor, john pienaar, and there are some flashing images, in his report. triumph, gratitude. well, a winner's a winner. relief? definitely. can i get some space, please? peterborough elected a new labour mp, just, and jeremy corbyn came to milk it. his message... we offer the politics of hope, to end austerity, to fund our schools properly. all the experts wrote labour off yesterday. write labour off at your peril! to all the squabbling contenders for the tory party leadership, bring it on! we are ready for a general election at any time. no clear backing from him, then, for a new referendum. if labour had lost by 600 votes, lost by one, jeremy corbyn would be under irresistible pressure

to embrace the idea of a new referendum. no ifs, no buts. that pressure will continue anyway. the tory leadership campaign is now characterised by which candidate is most prepared to contemplate leaving with no deal. and here is one reason why. so little time, so much politics to disrupt. nigel farage's newborn brexit party had been cautiously confident of getting its first mp — another shock through both major parties. time for excuses. you have been a winner. today you look like a loser. no, that'sjust not right, john. and there is no way the country will see that. what ordinary folk will see is a party that was launched eight weeks ago today, you know, has gotjust shy of 30% of the vote. a little bit deflated, let's be honest. not deflated, no. look, a couple of hundred votes the other way and it would have looked like the world has changed overnight but actually,

it has anyway. and i do hereby declare... in the early hours, labour won, the brexit party didn't. lisa forbes' career started uncomfortably, accused of anti—semitism for liking an online post attacking zionists she said she never read properly. nigel farage was there, hoping to celebrate. blink and you'd have missed him. three, two, one, go! everyone seemed to know the result by the time peterborough‘s morning fun run started. the local by—election had strained old loyalties. i didn't want the brexit party to get in, that was for sure, so that was really what pushed me to go and put my cross in the box. the brexit party haven't, fortunately, won. i'm pleased about that. labour got a bit of a scare. what should they learn from this, do you think? i think they should just be really careful and be a bit more uniform about their message. i think people are really confused about their message. 0n europe? 0n europe. i've always voted conservative. how did you vote? brexit. why did you vote for brexit? as a protest.

against what? the way we are at the moment. losing here last night, is that going to set back the brexit party or are they going to come again, do you think? i think they'll hang on. british form, yeah, they'll stick with it. you think they'll be back? nigel farage, you can't keep him down for long? no, actually, no. he is getting stronger i think, yeah. he had time to drop by at number 10 where mrs may was formally submitting her resignation letter. his demanded a seat for his party in any talks in brussels. not what tory leadership contenders had in mind. the result reminds us of two things. the vital importance of delivering brexit, and also the vital importance of making sure we have a strong conservative government that can preventjeremy corbyn getting into downing street and ruining this country. oh, for a breather. for runners, for political rivals. they will need it, we all will.

a little earlier my colleague, carrie gracie, spoke to the liberal democrats' leader sir vince cable and began by asking him for his reaction to the result of last night's by election. we were quite pleased, we had low expectations because peterborough is a traditional tory area, the combined remained candidates, but we put our candidate was terrific, and we got three to 12% of the vote. we we re we got three to 12% of the vote. we were pleased with that and the bigger picture in the country as a whole, with 20% and what is essentially now a four party competition, it was very well played. he said you're very well—placed but the message is that the by election of what happened in the by election of what happened in the eu elections does not get a reproduce and natural elections ——

national elections. well, not in a place they peterborough, but elsewhere the opposition is very different. you have seen the constituents and was also published today about 50 conservative seats would fall to the liberal democrats because there are large numbers of conservative voters who are pretty disgusted by the brexit policy of their leadership and they want a more moderate alternative and they returned to us. we will do very well. joining me now isjoe twyman from the polling company deltapoll. thank you forjoining us. what do you think of the main takeaways from last night's by election? but we ta ke last night's by election? but we take away is just how fragmented the electorate has become. but also on top of that, you can take away the fa ct top of that, you can take away the fact that local elections, the

european elections and ivs by elections, they have really thrown up elections, they have really thrown upa elections, they have really thrown up a series of different results, all of which can point to some success and failures, showing that the conservatives did not do well in the conservatives did not do well in the european level when it came to the european level when it came to the specific by election that they did better and labour managed to get there at the ground game, they managed to come out higher than you would imagine the by election would be in straight over the line. will it be enough longer—term? that remains to be seen. but it shows the power that the brexit party has to really get. how will this translate into a general election with a snap: autumn, is it possible to work that out? and what about the remaining parties? it is possible but it is not a good idea. since, parties? it is possible but it is nota good idea. since, if parties? it is possible but it is not a good idea. since, if this were

replicated, if peterborough were representative of the entire population of the uk, you could expect a parliament that was very well hung with no particular problem getting close to a majority. but thatis getting close to a majority. but that is not the reality of the situation and if there was a general election, on the evidence of this particular by election, it wouldn't just be about brexit. that is the first thing to consider, but the other thing to consider is that in particular, it could be the case that the leave vote simplistically speaking, is split between brexit parties and conservative voters and asa parties and conservative voters and as a result, that again under certain circumstances, parties like the lib dems and labour. and is it clear that they are abandoning the main parties and wanting to go for alternative options because obviously, we saw a change uk not doing very well and yet the lib dems

are getting more support. so it is pretty complicated, isn't it? are getting more support. so it is pretty complicated, isn't mm are getting more support. so it is pretty complicated, isn't it? it is extremely complicated but i have a lwa ys extremely complicated but i have always said that of any opinion poll is only a snapshot of public opinion at the moment. that is also true for by elections european elections. everything is being judged in terms of brexit and a lot of these events are what is in effect a proxy referendum on brexit. and so we have indeed, the media and commentators in terms of the main parties and leaf parties. wherever that may be, whether it is an autumn or next year or in the years after. it may very well be that brexit has been the result, in one way or another, it might‘ve been resolved very badly, but it will not be the situation of uncertainty that we have at the moment and how the public response to that, and terms, could have a huge impact on the general election result with the established parties, but also these new parties

themselves. the uncertainty is going to end at some point. the headlines on bbc news. released after her sentence, it was reduced to manslaughter. three deaths in two hospitals and outbreak ofan deaths in two hospitals and outbreak of an infection traced back to food. three more are seriously ill. labour celebrate a victory in the by election, nearly held the brexit party by fewer than 700 votes. sport now and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's the women's world cup is under way, hosts france are playing south korea in paris right now, with nearly a million tickets total. it was sold out before tonight's match—up, the opening game france against south

korea, 2a nations are taking part in six groups with the final on the 7th ofjuly. england's first game is against scotland and on sunday at five o'clock. we already had our first goal of the tournament, france are ahead scoring their first goal after around 12 minutes. france had been, south korea is looking very vulnerable, france's second all—time leading goal—scorer. the matches on bbc one, france are the joint favourites along with the defending favourites, the usa. south korea ranked 14th in the world, never kept a clean sheet at a world cup. as well as the women world cup, tomorrow they will take on the czech republic and tonight, plan copenhagen denmark, goal is of the

moment, 33 minutes on the clock there. tennis now and joe says she has no regrets after another grand slam semifinal defeat. she has become the first president to reach the semifinals since 1983 but after losing to the teenager. in the first set, the same happened in the second losing it on a tie—break to the 19—year—old. playing ashley and tomorrow possible is final and which was the and first—time winner crowned. it is always tough to lose a match, any match. it is always tough to lose matches where you do have opportunities, you do have chances. however, i feel very co mforta ble chances. however, i feel very comfortable and very assured in the fa ct comfortable and very assured in the fact that i did to the best that i can. meanwhile, rafael nadal is in

his consecutive final, knocking out rival roger federer, inflicting his worst ever grand slam defeat rafael nadal will be headed for a 12th title, it was one all with three and one up in the third set. after being fastest a nd one up in the third set. after being fastest and first practise, hamilton hit a wall and second practise ahead of the f1 grand prix, the championship leader and marshall had to limp back with a puncture and damaged his mercedes after hitting the wall. leclair leads, following his team—mate. in the cricket world cup match, they had to be abandoned and only the third wash—out in world

cup history, both teams took a point from the game and have three points from the game and have three points from their opening three matches. tomorrow it is england against bangladesh and cardiff and that is all the support for now, we'll have more and half past ten. theresa may has officially stepped down as the leader of the conservative party though she remains prime minister until her replacement is elected. key to her downfall was her inability to get her brexit withdrawal agreement through the commons. her resignation triggers the start of the party's leadership contest, with eleven mps already in the running. well, i'm joined in the studio by the award winning political documentary maker, michael cockerell who's interviewed ten prime ministers for his assessment of theresa may's reign as conservative leader. history will not be kind to her. in one sense, he could say that she has

been the worst conservative prime minister since david cameron because she was handed a turbo—charged suicide path and she made it worse. but in another sense, she has been a pretty dismal prime minister. in terms of all of the things she would need to be a prime minister, you need to be a prime minister, you need to be decisive. you need to be able to turn, you need to have a range of reliefs, you need to have persuasive powers and you need to get people to trust you, not to repeat and repeat mantras which turn out to be wrong. brexit means brexit, what does it mean? we are leaving on the 29th of march. 0ver brexit, what does it mean? we are leaving on the 29th of march. over a hundred times she said it, so how can anyone believe anything she says. and because of the terrible

legacy that she got from david cameron, forced her into these difficult positions which she made worse. understandably though, for many aspects, she was trying to keep her party together, notjust props and self interest but she genuine believed that a jeremy corbyn government would be even worse. i am trying to keep it together but it was impossible. brexit has been this toxic issue for tory prime ministers toxic issue for tory prime ministers to held account for... what points was it obvious, to you that someone else with a different makeup might‘ve handled it differently? else with a different makeup might've handled it differently?‘ different skill set of persuasion and ways of running the party. when he was labour party prime minister,

to be like the driver of a train. an express train, you drive it so fast, you never stop at the stations, because if it ever stop all the passengers will start get off and arguing with each other. at the deeded commemorations, they did pay commemorations to her, leaders come and go, but the work will stand. it is still possible that her deal somehow, some variation of it, will pass? it is the only deal on the table. but the problem about that deal is that theresa may managed to alienate the brexiteers, the remainders and those in the middle. she managed to alienate all three. it was an extraordinary achievement. what did you observe in private? what did you observe in private? what did you hear in private that you can illuminate us with, just to back up your rather damning assessment. i was speaking to a high

courtjudge and he said, getting to her is like going into an empty fridge and opening the door and it is very cold and there is nothing inside and no one quite knows, you cannot work her out in the sense that, when she was at school, she wa nted that, when she was at school, she wanted to be the first woman prime minister when margaret thatcher became the first woman to lead, she felt rather annoyed because she lost that chance. and when she went on to 0xford, she said she wanted to be the first woman prime minister. yet, with that is an extraordinary lack of self—confidence and indecisiveness and what she was a lwa ys indecisiveness and what she was always doing was kicking the can down the road, until she ran out of road. and that was the criticism of some other prime ministers. you have got to be very decisive because the

decisions coming across your desk or the whole time. and yet, she has been praised for her resilience, the public did see that, they praised her sense of public service, her duty. will history perhaps take a step back and think 0k, duty. will history perhaps take a step back and think ok, this was an impossible mission that she was put on and she tried her best. she did try her best and she is very beautiful woman, but she is a dutiful woman who fell in front of fundamentalists. she decided her strategy would be to get the brexiteers to back her and she wa nted brexiteers to back her and she wanted to be trusted by the brexiteers, but they never really did. and so they were the ones who sabotaged her. and briefly, amongst the list of the prime ministers, where was she land, do you think? near the bottom. with an inept prime

minister, though she tried her ha rd est, minister, though she tried her hardest, she was a dutiful woman. thank you forjoining us. let us have a look at the weather now. a very unsettled day across the uk, some thunderstorms in the past few hours, even the report of a funnel cloud in the southwestern parts of england. and some very strong winds on the way for tomorrow as well. this area of low pressures were broad as the heavy rain across southern parts of the uk, but to the course of the night, you can see it is raining across the northeast of england around the district, wells and some of that weather is rapping back around into the low pressure across southern parts of the uk. not too wet and some clear skies here to live in dread there in northern ireland, as this slow pressure pulls away into the north sea, behind it we get a of strong winds and strong

weste rli es, we get a of strong winds and strong westerlies, and some southern coast during saturday, gusts could exceed 50 miles an hour, but at least they'll be some sunshine for the north though, some showers on saturday and on sunday is looking calmer with lighter winds and a few showers. hello this is bbc news. the headlines... sally challen is released after her sentence for killing her abusive husband was reduced to manslaughter. she thanked herfamily, who led the campaign for her release who saw her husband subject her to years of abuse and coercive control. i want to thank my legal team and all of my family who stood behind me and with me through all of this, thank you. three people have died at hospitals in machester and liverpool after an outbreak of listeria. the infection has been traced back to pre packed food provided to nhs patients. three more are seriously ill. labour celebrate a win

in the peterborough by election. they narrowly held off the brexit party by fewer than 700 votes. the mayor of the west midlands, says protests in birmingham against the teaching of lgbt issues, are homophobic and must stop. since january, demonstrations have been taking place outside anderton park school in the sparkhill area of the city. andy street, who's gay, says the protests don't reflect the "modern, tolerant, inclusive place, that birmingham is". sima kotecha has more. our children. all: our choice! ten weeks since the protests began outside anderton park and today, another one. this time, in the rain, slightly further from the school gates, after an injunction banned parents and campaigners from protesting on its doorstep. this comes as the mayor of the west midlands tells the bbc he's determined to support the school, but he condemns some

of the leaflets and banners being used by the demonstrators. you look at what's being said and it's really upsetting, but it is actually, ultimately homophobic. and that is illegal and it has to stop now. in his first interview since the protests began in birmingham, he said the issue had affected him personally as a gay man. i genuinely thought that this was a complete nonissue in our city. i have never heard anything personal that makes my sexuality and issue at all. so you think britain's well past that, but then you see this and you think no, this is still, for some people, a real issue. parents began protesting over concerns their children were too young to learn about lg bt relationships. some believe that teaching contradicts islam. mr street says the government needs to speak out louder about equality

teaching being non—negotiable. how do you feel the dfe have handled the situation? there is some criticism that they haven't done enough to make themselves clear as to where they stand. it would be incredibly helpful if the department were to stand actively behind the guidance it has given, that teaching around equalities has to be done and it would also be very helpful if it work to give some guidance about how, as well. yesterday, the government said it had been engaging with the local council daily to help find a resolution. on monday, the campaigners will head to court to challenge the injunction. sima kotecha, bbc news, birmingham. four teenagers between the ages of 15 and 18 have been arrested following a homophobic attack on two women. police are appealing for witnesses after the incident on a london bus, which left the women

bloodied and bruised. the couple say they were taunted by a group of men who demanded they kissed, and subjected them to lewd comments. when they refused they were beaten by the men. the victims have been speaking about their ordeal. jim wheble reports. beaten and blood—soa ked. it isn't how melania and chris expected their night to end. after holding hands on the bus a group of four men asked them to kiss, making lewd comments. they came over to where we were and started aggressively harassing us. one of them stayed a couple of rows behind and was throwing coins at us. initially melania was trying to de—escalate the situation, being friendly, to keep them at bay. the couple repeatedly asked the men to stop but the violent attack came next. fighting broke out and i don't know

how we got from fighting on the top of the bus down to the lower deck, but in that timeframe they took my phone, her bag and they ran off the bus. left with black eyes, a cracked jaw, broken nose, and disgusted that this could happen. it's still making me angry that this is not a novel situation. there are more hate crimes being committed. we are one anecdote. i don't know, feeling like the violence is notjust because we are women. it's not only because we were gaining each other it's because we are women. in the capital this kind of attack is on the increase. from april, 2017, to 2018, there were 2280 homophobic and tra nsgender attacks in the capital. for the same period in 2018 and 2019 that had gone up to 2688, an 18% increase in one year. that is of great concern to many.

we hope the government will do more in terms of legislation. we want to have equaljustice so that when somebody is being sentenced for a crime against lgbt people it is the same as a crime based on racism or because of somebody‘s faith. for chris, she hopes this is a wake—up call for everyone. what i would like people to take away from this is that there are many people's lives at risks and peoples basic safety is at risk. i want people to feel emboldened to stand up. i want people to stand up for themselves and each other. joe nellist is from the lgbt foundation, a national charity which delivers advice, support and information services to lgbt communities... how common of the problem is it you think? hate crime against the community is a real common problem.

we know that a number of people 80% of the crimes go unreported because they do not feel confident that when they do not feel confident that when they report incidents of hate crime, it will be taken. do women suffer more than man? definitely, so one in five lgbtq more than man? definitely, so one in five lg btq people more than man? definitely, so one in five lgbtq people experience hate crime in the last 12 months, this figure goes biggerfor crime in the last 12 months, this figure goes bigger for trans crime in the last 12 months, this figure goes biggerfor trans people and women in our particular are faced with twice as many instances of hate crimes against them compared toa man. of hate crimes against them compared to a man. the increase in reported crime is it because people are being braver in terms of coming forward or is there increase in the level of attacks? i think it's difficult to tell, we know that is interesting in the report earlier and mentioned the increase in london and we have observed the same increase in the number of hate crimes discussed on

why people are contacting us, we know that prejudice against the community is on the rise, it's becoming more and more acceptable to express discriminatory views and we are living in a time our politicians are living in a time our politicians are talking openly about so—called dignitaries, as if it's a problem, and a new report mentioned a story of the school in birmingham where you people are protesting against teaching basic equality. that again isa teaching basic equality. that again is a problem from a different perspective, is it something you are worried about in other parts of the country? absolutely, we have seen insta nces country? absolutely, we have seen instances of people writing complaint let us to schools across the country with ripening to protest, we have seen staff intimidated, when there have been discussions at teaching of lgbtq equality, but we know that a crime has a long—term input and impact on individuals and communities and you talked about the school in london

earlier, that's obvious and very —— the best violence attack, but most the best violence attack, but most the time hate crimes can be nonviolent they are persistent and happen in streets and have long—term effect on mental health and sense of identity and well—being. effect on mental health and sense of identity and well-being. thank you. the ethiopian prime minister, abiy ahmed, has been meeting sudan's transitional military council after the killing of dozens of pro democracy demonstrators by sudanese security forces. the african union has suspended sudan and warned of further action unless power is transferred from the military to a civilian led transitional authority. catherine byaru hanga reports from khartoum. khartoum is a city gripped with fear. most people choose to stay home. in the shadow, the security forces appear to outnumber the civilians on the streets. these makeshift barricades had been put up

in neighbourhoods, they are made of bricks, plastic and wooden poles. the young man are out planning these posts, they tell me it's to protect communities from government militia. translation: element when they came here they killed people entered our homes and took our friends. when they come here it's a mess, they should everywhere. opposition groups have also asked people to put up these barricades, as a sign of civil disobedience against the country's military rulers. there isn't an official curfew in khartoum, but through the night, there are a few people out on the streets. and there isa build—up people out on the streets. and there is a build—up of soldiers and militia out on patrol making sure there's nobody idle on the streets. things got worse on monday, when

security forces attacked the pro—democracy citizens. doctors said that at least 100 people had been killed by reality that death toll will be much heart —— higher. it's led to a breakdown in talks between army and activist, informing a transitional government. these friends were at that sit in when government militia attacked. they started shooting from everywhere, like we were surrounded. from all sides. you could hear bullets from everywhere, there was a —— literary no airto run everywhere, there was a —— literary no air to run to our go to. we are running so people relying on the streets, you couldn't help anyone because as soon as he did, you are shot. we were running for very long distances, and i look to my left and an unfinished building there were snipers. the appian prime minister has arrived to try and mediate, but the opposition say they will only
