london bus assay was a homophobic attack. police have arrested four boys between the ages of 15 and 18. and at 1130 we will take another look at the papers with kevin schofield and beneditte pavio. conservative leadership candidate michael gove has admitted taking cocaine several times more than 20 yea rs cocaine several times more than 20 years ago. he admitted taking the drug to the daily mail and said it was a mistake. the environment secretary says he took cocaine at social events when he was a young journalist. let's speak to our clinical correspondent at westminster. what more do we know?

michael gove tells the mail tomorrow that he took drugs on several occasions. this was more than 20 yea rs occasions. this was more than 20 years ago and he admits it was a mistake. something that he wishes he had not done. his case is that people have lives before politics, and that when this happened he did not think that he was going to end up not think that he was going to end up in parliament. let me tell you more of what he says to the mail tomorrow. "i didn't imagine i would go into politics or public service, ididn't go into politics or public service, i didn't act with an eye to that", and he adds "the question now is that people should look at my record asa that people should look at my record as a politician and ask themselves, is this a person we see as being ready to lead?". other tory leadership hopefuls have admitted also taking drugs, so is this really going to affect the leadership contest going to affect the leadership co ntest a nd going to affect the leadership contest and who gets down to the final two candidates? you are contest and who gets down to the finaltwo candidates? you are right, rory stewart, the international development secretary admitted last week that he had smoked opium, that

is something he apologised for as well. the differences michael gove is one of the front runners in race, he is someone who has a lot of support in parliament, and in the wider conservative party. and he will be hoping tonight that that does not take him down because of these admissions. he has also told these admissions. he has also told the daily mail tomorrow that people need to look at his record, and look at the fact that he has apologised, and that he admits he has made a mistake. he also says by the way that he has seen the damage drugs do and that is why he thinks that he made such a grave mistake in taking cocaine more than 20 years ago. the question though of whether or not this will impact on the conservative leadership race, i suspect we won't know that for a few days yet. thank you very much. the queen's but they honours list has been announced with the oscar—winning actress 0livia colman being made a cbe while

public and political science. he joins us live in via webcam from toronto. congratulations to you, so norman lamb, howard did you first find out? i received a letter about four or five weeks find out? i received a letter about four orfive weeks ago find out? i received a letter about four or five weeks ago just on relating —— arriving back home from westminster, i could not believe it, a bit overwhelmed, absolutely thrilled. but i am also enormously honoured and recognise that there are so many honoured and recognise that there are so many people out there who do amazing things who don't ever get recognised and honoured, and we need to remember those people as well. and you fully support the honours system as a liberal democrat?” and you fully support the honours system as a liberal democrat? i do. there are times when it doesn't live up there are times when it doesn't live up to the standards that we would want, but i think it is terribly important to recognise people for doing good things in society. i hope

that i have made some sort of contribution myself, i am just making the point that i am conscious that they are very many people out there including those wonderful foster carers you are just talking about in your introduction, some great people not in the public eye, who just give of themselves. they are the people who i really admire. and i must ask you about a couple of political stories at the moment, you would have seen that michael gove has done an interview with the mail where he has admitted apparently taking cocaine, we saw that you have spoken about this question of drugs in the past, saying that many people in political life in public life and across society have taken drugs, do you think taking drugs in your past should be a disqualifying factor? from topjobs? should be a disqualifying factor? from top jobs? i should be a disqualifying factor? from topjobs? i made the point sometime ago that probably 50% of the cabinet have done drugs even though they deny it. they are rather proving the point at the moment, as

one admission after another comes out. my point is that they should stop the hypocrisy that they should ta ke stop the hypocrisy that they should take a more enlightened view to drug use, and that we should all regard this as a public health issue, and that our focus should be on reducing harm, not on criminalising people. soi harm, not on criminalising people. so i absolutely don't think that it should be a disqualification for high office. i happen to think that hypocrisy should be. and what i would like to see now is all of these tory cabinet members actually 110w these tory cabinet members actually now coming out and making the case for reform. michael gove, please make the case for reform, please and the awful criminalisation of other fellow citizens when you yourself are now in a very lofty position, aiming to become our prime minister, recognised that for many other people their careers are blighted by

criminal conviction, quite apart from the fact that we are doing enormous damage to the health of so many young people who buy cannabis on the street, for example, having no idea what they are buying, it is so much better to legalise it and regulated. but this is cocaine, do you think cocaine should be legalised or decriminalised? have you i have taken is less focused first of all on cannabis, —— let us focus on cannabis, let us decriminalised and legalise, introduce a regulated market and they have done in canada, decriminalise all other drugs. we shouldn't be taking anyone such as michael gove through the criminal justice system for taking a drug, but where people are in trouble and face possible addiction, we should be ensuring that they get access to help. safe treatment rooms, for example, is something that should be available everywhere rather than the

government taking a very negative view towards them, and trying to pretend the problem doesn't exist. there is enormous hypocrisy and in our own parliament, very many members of parliament take the drug of their choice, alcohol, and sometimes substantial quantities. let us just take a proportionate view, lets ensure that we focus on public health and public safety and stop the hypocrisy. just briefly, do you think this will be damaging to michael gove's future chances?” think probably not. i think actually the public are ahead of the politicians on this whole issue, certainly so far as cannabis is concerned there is now a majority in favour of reform, attitudes towards other drugs obviously are more dangerous drugs is different, but i don't think many people now take the view that you should be punished for use of a substance, helped, yes,

even education and guidance, yes, about dangers, but not punished. that is an archaic view, and we have seen that is an archaic view, and we have seen such that is an archaic view, and we have seen such enormous that is an archaic view, and we have seen such enormous trouble as a result of prohibition, prohibition of alcohol in the united states and canada led to extreme violence and enormous criminality, we have exactly the same with the prohibition of cannabis and other drugs, we should be changing our approach and focusing on public health. just very quickly, a sentence if i can, who are you backing for the leadership of the liberal democrats? i think everyone should be open, including members of my party and including the two leadership contenders, absolutely. i have not yet made my own judgement about who i would back. so norman lamb, —— sir norman lamb, or norman lamb, —— sir norman lamb, or norman lambfor lamb, —— sir norman lamb, or norman lamb for now, thank you very much

for your honours tonight announced in the last hour. a woman who killed her husband in a hammer attack after decades of emotional abuse will not face a retrial after her murder conviction was reduced to manslaughter on the grounds of diminished response ability. after a campaign led by herfamily, sally challen is free to go home cheering and applause. 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. this 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 have been psychologically abused by her husband richard throughout their marriage. they made their home in surrey and on the surface he was a typical family man. but the family say he subjected his wife to what has become 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 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 40 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... there's no words. it's back to being a son again, and back to her being an infuriating mother.

laughter. with no retrial in this case, lawyers are still waiting to see coercive control tested as a factor in a defence to murder. when parliament makes new laws, as it did in the case of coercive control, it's really helpful if that goes to court so that the judges can interpret that law. 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. 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 prepacked damages prepared for patients. dominic hughes has more

details. listeria is an infection. for those who are already ill or have a weakened immune system, it can be much more serious, affecting the bloodstream and the brain. that is the case with six patients who were already poorly became infected. three of them have since died. two at the manchester royal infirmary and one at liverpool's and free hospital. we hope there will be no more cases. 0ne hospital. we hope there will be no more cases. one of the problems with this particular infection is the long incubation period. it can be three orfour weeks. in long incubation period. it can be three or four weeks. in terms of the numbers we are just watching. the outbreak seems to have occurred early last month and has been traced to prepacked sandwiches made specifically for the health care sector by the good food chain. the company gets its sandwich fillings from north country cooked

meats and it's here that a strain of listeria has been identified. both companies have now voluntarily ceased production and in a statement the good food chain said it regularly laboratory tests its supplies, finished products and environment, in line with industry guidelines and best practice. experts say the bug is a threat the food industry is well aware of. it's particularly difficult for the food industry because unlike a lot of the other bacteria that we get through eating food this one will grow in the fridge. following the deaths of patients here in manchester and liverpool, public health england say there is no evidence of any further cases outside of the health care system and the risk to the general public is low. meanwhile, the food standards agency has launched an investigation into the causes of this and also to make sure no more vulnerable patients are at risk. dominic hughes, bbc news, manchester. the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, says his party's when in the peter brock by—election represents hope. —— peterborough. they were narrowly held onto the seat. nigel farage's

brexit party finishing 683 votes behind. the by—election was triggered after the former mp was convicted of lying about a speeding offence. here is john convicted of lying about a speeding offence. here isjohn pina. 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's 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.

five days after dozens of pro—democracy demonstrators were killed in sudan, talks have been taking place aimed at preventing further violence. the country has been controlled by a military council since april, when president 0mar al—bashir was overthrown in a coup. on monday civilian protesters, who want the council removed, were attacked by paramilitaries. the opposition says more than a hundred people were killed. now the ethiopian prime minister, has flown to the capital khartoum, to try to bring the two sides together. from there our correspondent catherine byaru hanga has the latest. it's the kind of grief that can be understood anywhere in the world. why my beautiful son? i want him to have kids and get married, and he had his life. mohammed celebrated his 26th birthday hours before he was killed protesting for democracy.

family and friends continue to mourn a man they say was a natural leader. mohammed was studying engineering at brunel university in london. he recently came back home for his sister's wedding, and joined the sit—in against military rule. this is thought to be the last footage of him. i told him today maybe they are going to do bad things. he said, he know, and he has to do his work. mohammed is from an influential family, but that did not save him. this conflict has touched people from all walks of life. ethiopian's prime minister has spent the day trying to mediate after security forces killed more than a hundred protesters and talks collapsed. activists insist they will only negotiate once there is justice for the victims. friday prayers at the

mosque in khartoum. this is another community that has been attacked. people have set up barricades all over this neighbourhood to protect themselves from government militia. they say a few days ago one person was killed outside a bakeryjust down the road, another in front of the local mosque. they're sceptical about whether negotiations with the military can work out. translation: the only way to have successful talks is by publishing who committed these crimes, and we think the only ones responsible for the crimes are the military council. so, do you think there's a chance that you can negotiate with the military council? translation: there is no chance for negotiation with the army, because they're not honest or serious. they have lied and been manipulative from the start. there is little comfort to be found in sudan at the moment. this is a nation still in shock, and unsure what comes next. catherine byaru hanga,

bbc news, khartoum. 14 these males between 15 and 18 have been arrested on suspicion of robbery and aggravated harm —— teenage. it follows the attack on two women on a lunday —— london bus. the attack took place as they were travelling in the early hours. the attackers asked the couple to kiss while making sexual gestures. here is ben hunt. covered in blood ona here is ben hunt. covered in blood on a london bus. after holding hands a group of men asked the couple to get us and began harassing them. they got out of their seats and started aggressively harassing us. after asking the men to stop they we re after asking the men to stop they were left with black eyes, a cracked jaw, and a suspected broken jaw. were left with black eyes, a cracked jaw, and a suspected brokenjaw.” don't know how we got from fighting

something to come for this. you have to stand up yourself instead of each other. they say they won't be changing their behaviour because of it. ben hunt, bbc news. the high court has thrown out a private prosecution against borisjohnson over allegations that he laid it during the eu referendum campaign. the case centred on the campaign that the uk gave the european union £350 million a week. but the judges overturned an earlier decision to issue a summons to mrjohnson. nasa issue a summons to mrjohnson. nasa is opening up the international space station to tourists stop two private trips will be allowed every 12 months from next year. the cost of 28,000 each per night. the price of 28,000 each per night. the price of hitching a ride on a commercial rocket to get that could set you back hundreds of thousands of pounds, if not millions. we don't have time for all that all the pockets. just focus on the weather. here is thomas.

hello. thanks for joining here is thomas. hello. thanks forjoining me. let us get a check on the weather for the next few days. i'm sure you are wondering what is installed. it has been so unsettled in the last couple of days. many of us have had a good dose of rain and, guess what, the weekenders looking unsettled. particularly windy weather on their way for southern parts of the uk. all thanks to this low pressure which has been impacting grants, stormy conditions, disruptive weather. the weather front has been reaching the uk and the low pressure will march across the uk during the course of saturday, sending some really strong winds out of the west. this is what it looks like on saturday, the centre of the low at this stage is in the north sea and around it, wrapping around, plenty of showers, a lot of cloud, and strong gusts of wind. 0n the south coast i would not be surprised if they are higher than 50 mph. at least 40 inland. a blustery day with some sunshine, but occasional showers. the brightest of the

weather will be where we have
