this is bbc news, i'm shaun ley. the headlines at eight. the coroner at the london bridge inquest clears the police and mi5 of failing to prevent the attacks. he was not persuaded that investigative opportunities were lost which could have saved the lives of those who tragically died. but some of the relatives of the eight people killed injune 2017 dispute his finding. the mi five did not stop that guy. despite all the signs. that he was really ready for the worst. a stern faced theresa may tells the russian president the salisbury nerve agent attack was a despicable act. france endures its highest ever

recorded temperature, a staggering 45.9 degrees. the lionesses find out tonight who they'll meet in the world cup semi finals as holders usa kick off against hosts france. the coroner at the london bridge attack inquests says he isn't persuaded mi5 and the police missed opportunities to prevent what happened. in ruling that the eight victims were unlawfully killed, the chief coroner for england and wales, mark lucraft, said the work of the security services was generally thorough and rigorous. he did however criticise the family of one of the attackers, for not reporting his extremist behaviour, and said their testimony was "un
8:02 pm
our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford has more. after eight weeks of compelling, harrowing and often tearful evidence the inquest concluded this evening. they have been particularly harrowing for the bereaved relatives, and some of the french families have come, almost every day. and the coroner ruled that all eight people had been unlawfully killed, but also said there had been failures by both the authorities responsible for the bridge and one killer's family. it was a happy summer night on london bridge that turned to horror in an instant. christine and her fiance were enjoying a romantic getaway from paris when a van did a u—turn and drove deliberately and at speed onto the wide and unprotected pavement.
8:03 pm
christine is still recovering from serious injuries but xavier did not survive. chrissy archibald was also killed. the chief coroner noted that no changes had been made to the bridge after the westminster attack. the bereaved relatives are also bewildered by the fact that one of the killers had been identified by mi5 two years earlier as someone who might attack the uk. he was still being actively investigated when he managed
8:04 pm
to kill the eight victims. his own brother—in—law had warned counter—terrorism police of his extremism but was never called back. when the men were plotting the attack in the last few days no one was watching. the coroner held back from criticising the security services but the bereaved families remain disappointed. how can they miss him? mi5 did not stop that guy despite the signs that he was ready for the worst. but the coroner criticised the attacker‘s family seeing multiple warning signs...
8:05 pm
after ploughing through pedestrians on the bridge, the van crashed and the killers got out, each carrying a weapon for the next stage of their attack. with 12 inch knife strapped to their wrists, moving swiftly and as a pack, the name cornered and attacked their victims, two at the top of the stairs and two further down the stairs and a fifth at the end of the courtyard near the entrance to the borough bistro. in less than a minute they had fatally injured five of their victims and the small area. on a night of heroes, james mcmullen died trying to help sara zelenak. today outside court one of the parents had the nerve
8:06 pm
another nurse was stabbed but survived. passers—by and police officers desperately tried to keep sebastien belanger alive while the attackers moved on. an off—duty pc took them on, earning himself the george medal. they thrusted towards me. obviously this happened within seconds. getting stabbed in the back. i dropped to the floor. getting stabbed in the back, i dropped to the floor. he stands above me and he stabs me three times in the head. the last person and then killed was ignacio echeverria. just inside the restaurant was a junior doctor who told me a man at the door was trying to stop him leaving for his own safety. i said you have to let me out. i am a doctor. i cannot watch them bleed to death.
8:07 pm
we were having this argument. i was getting frustrated. i understood him but i had to get out and i said he could lock the door afterwards. he was able to save someone who had been stabbed 18 times. killers rampaged through borough market for another seven minutes, still attacking people but failing to kill any more. they were in the process of stabbing someone else when armed officers arrived and shot them dead. although the coroner didn't criticise mi5, the security service and counterterrorism policing service have made changes in how they work. this is a question of resources. if khuram butt had been the only suspect he would have been watched intently, but he was one at 3000 at the time not regarded as the highest priority. a senior official giving evidence at the old bailey said in a democratic society,
8:08 pm
it was a question as to how big the security service should get, and mi5 was bigger than it had ever been. we can speak to colonel richard kemp, who's commanded british troops in afghanistan, iraq, the balkans and northern ireland, and who's also acted as an adviser to the government on terrorism. good to speak to you again, let me ask you very straightforward about the coronary findings can make you think you got it right?” the coronary findings can make you think you got it right? i would say so, yes and particularly to the things that strike me are first of all, he says he didn't find that mi five and the police messed opportunities, they could have perhaps seized in order to prevent this from happening i think he's right, i worked with them before, and the countertenor isn't that counterterrorism police on many occasions on this kind of assault and to be honest, they are very diligent and well resourced into the bestjob diligent and well resourced into the best job they diligent and well resourced into the bestjob they can do. i think the
8:09 pm
problem is they have such a huge problem is they have such a huge problem to deal with, so many suspects, 23,000 suspects jihadist in the country which is several thousand are of real concern, and the second thing i think that he found that some family members who had an idea of what was happening did absolutely nothing to either prevented or warned police about what their relations were about to do. there working to kind of worrying issues i suppose raised, one was the brother not saying that he had because he was worried about his brother the and he contacted the authorities but no one called them back, so presumably that's a straightforward follow—up thing that should happen, but an hour ago i was talking to anthony, who you know and he was saying he felt it was relu cta nce he was saying he felt it was reluctance because he broadly shared that the view you expressed in the corner as well, they couldn't have
8:10 pm
prevented that people the response by those who carried it out but nonetheless, he did say there are two lists, does a 12,000 strong with that extremists who are of concern but not not to be violent therefore not immediate concern, but then he said asa not immediate concern, but then he said as a second list and that's a national security threat one and the attacker was on that, so in a sense that there was concern about them, i guess it practical question without putting the blame is how do we know that someone like that is followed up that someone like that is followed up and why was he not followed up anyway? i think the fact is there are thousands of people on that last —— list of great concern, and it's absolutely not possible for the security services and police to monitor that large number, to the extent they need monitoring, and they can work on these people and maybe identify what they are thinking and how they are operating in acting, and then conclude that in this case, they are not the immediate threat, resources are stretched and we need to focus more
8:11 pm
on somebody else, and they got that wrong, and it's not something that they could maybe knock at ron, it's something that is a question attachment, i think what we need to do this country is to reassess our political priorities about how we help the security services, and yes if quincy can give them more and more resources, but as your correspondence that come the democratic state, you know, how big the secret service get and second, we can reduce the number of suspects they need to deal with by deporting those who are coming by preventing any more coming into the country as we are allowing islamic state terrace in some case to come then, and even going as far as a child the judicial process to keep up the streets, people of great concern. doing the three things are at least one or two of them is about the only way we can really contain this problem. can i pick you up on that
8:12 pm
last example he'd to escape, you said it's not the only one but it interesting for you to raise, we tried that without trial before a northern ireland in the early 70s, wasn't the evidence that it didn't prevent violence and simply acted as a recruiting agent to allow those who are attacking the british and the british state and those who supported the ira to say i told you so, they do not treat us like ordinary citizens, they treat us like second as is —— second—class evidence and also need to change this and. yes that's in 1934 this is 2019, there are obvious mistakes made which would be made now, and that includes very poor intelligence about who should have been locked up, so that people in turn should have been and continues that there was an obvious benefit to doing that, second, it's very much one—sided that they were detaining
8:13 pm
one—sided that they were detaining one side of the problem and on the other. which obviously, people saw that as being deeply unfair, there are other problems as well. they don't underestimate all, the seriousness in suggesting internment without trial in a liberal democracy such as ours, it's a very, very difficult step to take and i think we do look at that, and we may have to look at it depending on how the situation evolves if we do look at it we should be looking as part of thejudicial process. involving secret court, but not involving just security forces and get him behind bars but involving jerry's and lobsters to authorise it. richard, thank you very much for being with us. a stony faced theresa may met vladimir putin today, and told him that russia must stop what she called "the irresponsible and destabilising activity, that threatens the uk and its allies."
8:14 pm
the prime minister said she had irrefutable evidence, that moscow was behind the deadly nerve agent attack in salisbury last year. the two leaders met at the g20 meeting of leading industrialised nations, in osaka injapan, from where our diplomatic correspondent, james robbins reports. the prime minister radiated coldness, barely looking at president putin to express maximum disapproval for the cameras. she did not give the appearance of someone ready to forgive and forget murder in last year's poisonings. this will surprise some people, and attempt to explore ways to do limited business again. theresa may had told the bbc she was determined to confront the president. charges have been made against two individuals and i want to see them brought to justice. russia needs to recognise its acts and stop acting in this way and stop its other destabilising
8:15 pm
activities around the world. just before coming to japan, vladimir putin used a long interview with the financial times to dismiss the poisonings as a matter between spies and to attack western attachment to liberal values. he held instead the rise of nationalism and populism. both men competing to succeed theresa may as prime minister denounced the russian leader's comments. jeremy hunt said it was easy to be disparaging about democracy both men competing to succeed theresa may as prime minister denounced the russian leader's comments. jeremy hunt said it was easy to be disparaging about democracy when you have never had to bother with it at home. boris johnson called vladimir putin's claimed liberalism was obsolete in the west totally wrong.
8:16 pm
before the salisbury poisoning mrjohnson said he had tried to build a new partnership with russia. it just isn't there. back in japan enter two leaders who seem easy and each other‘s company, neither with much time for liberalism. president putin denies that russia interfered to help donald trump when the white house in 2016 and when a reporter asks mr trump if he will tell the russian leader not to meddle in the next election, he says... and that the saudi prince looked worried about pressures at the un for him to face the trial for the murder of jamal khashoggi? no sign. ahead of the crucial encounter tomorrow with donald trump over escalating trade work.
8:17 pm
the chinese leader was accusing the president of bullying tactics. translation: developed countries are frequently to xmas measures, triggering trade friction and a technology blockade and destroying the global order. this also impact on the common interests of our countries and overshadows peace and stability worldwide. it's been about as bad a summit today as it could be. amid clear signs that international mechanisms meant to help resolve fundamental divides are now looking seriously weakened in the face of so much parading of rival power. james robbins, bbc news, osaka. there was discussion about the handshake and study based on the expression, let's talk to an expert
8:18 pm
and body language judy, thank expression, let's talk to an expert and body languagejudy, thank you for coming in, you have been looking at these pictures and some detail, first of all let's talk about theresa may and vladimir putin today, what did you deduce from the lady greeted each other and the way they interacted. and heir of the permafrost, the summits are all about hierarchy and powerjostling status, but usually the leaders had an election coming up so that trying to boost themselves power by association are lowering the leader but she had nothing to lose today so she's not looking for the boats and just waiting for the removal date to determine apps that we have a very stoned reaction from her, she pushed the blood —— diplomacy to one side, they know that these shots will be heard around the world and people will see how she wants to display that she is feeling about putting in his policies and actions, so we had no eye contact in the eye —— and the handshake he was looking to her and smiling and she looked to one side
8:19 pm
and ignored him to make them feel smaller and she grabbed his hand and headed closer to her meeting he was stretched out slightly, and then she kind of tossed her head at the end of the lake boxy yelling out that that were finished i got to the niceties and looking very strong i think because of that. niceties and looking very strong i think because of thatlj niceties and looking very strong i think because of that. i wonder as well, it is a comparison with other interactions we have seen, what struck you? i love to compare it to put in and trapped because this is hilarious, donald trump cracked up in his favourite handshake switches that shake and yanked. i hadn't seen them do this before to put in, he turns back she tends to take on the mandan policy, so it's all alpha posturing with him. so what we got what it looks very friendly to nitrite with you? so he takes her hand like that, and absolutely a put you off balance once when many are
8:20 pm
smiling and polite next minute you lost her balance of physically, he's registering himself a superior i had nothing to do that for a while though. the good thing for him though. the good thing for him though it looks friendly but it would been an active aggression really very silverback mode from. that lovely comparison. the interesting thing about these is the pictures go around the well, quite often they are trying to do one thing the say another, so they are you trying to look warm but you know the moment the cameras are gone it's difficult. here with her she wasn't even trying to disguise anything and would donald trump as he said he has a different message to say which is on this i am back in charge after all the allegations about racha —— russia, but what about other leaders and tract, not because putting is often one who can be quite a dominant figure. he's very smart with his body language, and it is very mast usually you can't tell what he's thinking, he was sitting with trump today, and trump was doing his famous knee display with
8:21 pm
that power steeple going on there, but putting was looking a lot more relaxed with his hand dangling in front, but there was, he was nearly touching his watch as though i look nice and will be nice but i'm getting down to business so he doesn't really get —— give too much away and when they had their first meeting at another member, he looked quite cold and awkward but the minute the cameras are off but not off, he shot across to trump and whispering bitterness but the same language but he was whispering in his ear, showing that last signal friendship as he probably thought it would cause problems for him. when i a lwa ys would cause problems for him. when i always remember with put in which i think you do to you is a price on the met angela merkel, when he famously put it like he knew she had a real pathological fear of dogs, and so he allowed his rather large dog to suddenly wander into the room and an attempt to kind of really throw her off her stride not so much a body language but the body you know, you could see it in reaction.
8:22 pm
absolutely it's the same thing, and with tony blair, the one to get the last padding, he met tony blair and tony blair was a bit like eight of the film the matrix, putting was trying to pet him that he was like moving his body away, and right at the end, the document and he patted the end, the document and he patted the dog instead, it's like he got rid of it. but you're right, you cannot tell, even if someone is looking very strong and find a camera, it might mean they're not going to have a strong meeting or a strong stance inside. donald trump i suppose has a big advantage and that he's a reality television star as well resign for the programme with the apprentice was based on him being the boss and the man who fired you, and the alpha male as you say. let's be kind of difficult for him in some ways because he's the alpha male ina in some ways because he's the alpha male in a room of alpha males or females, we mentioned out from —— angela merkel but what about when he meets her again and a contrast with other leaders. it was hilarious
8:23 pm
because he doesn't know what to do it is not to interact with them and you saw how he held her hand because that would angle a merkel today, you can see there was no love lost between those two, she just sat there and when he offered his hand and she touched it very gingerly as though it's contagious, and then literally wiped her hands quickly on her knees after word as if to get rid of all traces of handshakes, but remember the first time they pay mac, you must refuse to shake hands with her she was very politely saying they want to shake hands and he sat there with his power steeple and wasn't going to do it. and the famous case i think when they were doing i think it wasn't a 20 was it when she was only their photos at the still when they are are negotiating any operator as sweet and it was contemptuous act kind of like saying don't say i don't give you anything which is remarkable. the other one that had gone through a few ups and downs is donald trump and emmanuel macron. 0h a few ups and downs is donald trump
8:24 pm
and emmanuel macron. oh yeah bromance, really it's a pity, they started off it's like the big silverback outfit with a younger whippersnapper alpha, and macron i read actually sat and watched trump with his power shakes and worked out like a premiership football are not to be and that is on games that you have a wonderful pose where macron is literally crushing it like he has his thumb clamped on and his flesh going white connect using like i was going white connect using like i was going to like a fresh and less not established, they were best buds after that, and now he walks around like he whispered, he didn'tjust whisper to trump today, it was like schoolyard, he lent across and put his hand like that like we know things nobody else knows, really going back to school yard my best friend look, i think i can for him, it kind of implies a power by association, my friend is the most powerful man in the world. it's a fascinating stuff that you've given us fascinating stuff that you've given us and the insight, maybe a few things to watch out for the future,
8:25 pm
i'm going to be more careful now, it's going to be very careful in the studio about body language, did he you so much. breaking news, and incident you may recall, terrible incident you may recall, terrible incident back in the summer of 2017. august 2017 when a group of neo—nazis were marching to cha rlottesville in neo—nazis were marching to charlottesville in virginia, and a young woman was killed when a car hit her, the car was driven at the cloud, a counter protesters. that incident has finally led to a conviction, a federal charge a life sentence on james conviction, a federal charge a life sentence onjames fields, he is from al hayat, 22 years old, he's being sentenced to life without the possibility of parole and was seeking a lesser sentence apologising after the that video that we saw in court, and he was what was called that unite the right rally, which took place in charlottesville. rally, which took place in cha rlottesville. a
8:26 pm
rally, which took place in charlottesville. a judge who rally, which took place in charlottesville. ajudge who is rally, which took place in charlottesville. a judge who is a district judge, charlottesville. a judge who is a districtjudge, but in federal court, said just watching this image is terrifying. the relief of the defendant into society is too great a risk so, james fields, the 22—year—old neo—nazi who killed had there, a student to have been part of the counter protest against the unite the right rally of white supremacy has been convicted to life in prison and a court in cha rlottesville in prison and a court in charlottesville virginia. sport now, and pitiful round up we are going to be sport centre. lizzie dare, who has torn us away from soccer to speak less, hi. don't worry it's on the monitor, i will keep an eye on what's happening. it's a game that's billed as the games of the women's world cup going on in paris, it's the second quarterfinal between usa and france, and the defending champions usa are a goal, and megan scored a free kick in the 50 minute, the ball somehow going through all
8:27 pm
those french legs, the game being played at a rapid pace, which i imagine would take its toll because it's around 30 degrees in paris right now, but let's go live right now here at the pictures, the game is on bbc one right now, it's been going for 26 minutes now, but the important thing for england fans to note is whoever winds at this match will play england in the semifinals. o nto will play england in the semifinals. onto tennis, after saying he believes he's good enough to win at wimbledon british number one kyle admin drawn in spain in the first round next week, but. but he fell short today as he lost in straight sets to the unseeded american taylor fritz in the semi—finals at eastbourne. nick parrott reports kroll says he's living the dream going to wimbledon as british number one, and thinks he can win it. that would be a major surprise that success in eastbourne wedding. at the only cd player left in the 29, it is for the taking. taylor had
8:28 pm
other ideas. the american trails admin in the ranking but not in the fashion stakes, and i was little between them on court with a fresh set going through a tie—break, nail—biting staff are all but one watching. fritz was the first to show signs of losing this battle, but he regained composure to close out the first set 10—8. this did buy that success, he says as he broke admin at the first opportunity, at the second set. moments of magic from home cloud to enjoy, but they came too late to save the day. fritz proved too strong and will fancy his chances of the press to a title while admin hopes that his success in the next fortnight he has a slimmer. formula one has been accused of being boring this season, but things could get interesing in austria this weekend if practice is anything to go by. windy conditions were thought to be a factor behind max verstappen crashing his red bull towards the end of a lap. vallteri bottas also gave his mercedes mechanics plenty of work to do after he went off.
8:29 pm
but sebastian vettel was luckier, as he managed to avoid damaging his ferrari. unsurprisingly though the quickest time of the day was recorded by world champion lewis hamilton. danny ciprinai has been added to the england squad for their world cup training camp. eddiejones is still without saracens and exeter players who are taking an enforced rest following their run to the premiership final. there's a strong chance ciprinani will still miss out with eddiejones expected to only take two fly halves to japan, owen farrell and george ford. the final squad is named in mid august. defending champion geraint thomas and colombian egan bernal will be joint leaders of team ineos for the tour de france which starts next month. thomas is the defending champion but had doubts about whether he could defend his title after a crash at the tour of switzerland. chris froome misses out as he recovers from fracturing his leg elbow and ribs in a crash
8:30 pm
earlier this month. sri lanka's hopes of reaching the world cup semi—finals have been dealt a big blow after a nine—wicket thrashing at the hands of south africa play at chester—le—street had to be halted halted under pretty strange circumstances as a swarm of bees forced the players to the ground. the sri lanka players probably hoped that the swarm would have hung around a bit longer in durham. that's all the sport for now. i'll have more for you in sportsday at half past ten. lizzie dare as she says, more support at half past ten with the details on that match the important one in soccer match. here's the letter now. western half of the uk has been the focus of the heat and humidity through friday, it's here we have seen the highest temperature is 30 celsius in the scottish highlands making it the warmest day at the sfr

inquiry believes they were not convinced that they missed any opportunities they were prevented the attack. the inquest finds that all eight victims were unlawfully killed. the g20 summit injapan, each stern faced theresa may told russian president that the attack was despicable. heatwave continues to grip parts europe, france records its highest temperature. paul mccartney wrote it, and imagine a world without the beatles. the other top releases in the film review that is coming up at 845. france has seen an all time record temperature of 45 point nine degrees celsius, as the heatwave sweeping much of europe continues. germany, poland and the czech republic have also recorded their highest everjune temperatures. france's weather service has now
8:33 pm
issued an unprecedented red alert forfour areas, as lucy williamson reports from paris. all of this week, they have edged towards record—breaking temperatures. at some areas are given unprecedented red alerts. the first to feel it, 44.3 degrees. followed quickly by an even higher peak, almost 46 degrees recorded just to the west. the hottest france has ever been. ijust just to the west. the hottest france has ever been. i just stay at just to the west. the hottest france has ever been. ijust stay at home with a fan on in the windows closed. there are fewer people, at 11 in the morning, there is nobody about. the last time france broke temperature records over a decade ago, it was august. what makes this unusual is not just the high august. what makes this unusual is notjust the high temperatures, it is how early it has come. in spain, forest fires that began on wednesday
8:34 pm
we re forest fires that began on wednesday were still outpacing emergency crews today. all of this sparked by farming waste left to heat in the scorching sun. ca relessness farming waste left to heat in the scorching sun. carelessness turned to catastrophe in the words of one official. in france, they published a video showing people how to keep cool a video showing people how to keep cool. the prime minister has asked for safety announcements on trains in both french and english. some accuse the government of acting like accuse the government of acting like a nanny state, and despite discomfort, these few days of hot weather are not expected to spark the kind of health crisis france has seenin the kind of health crisis france has seen in the past. but they have sparked is a show of state vigilance. and perhaps also, of its citizens. and here in the uk as temperatures continue to rise into the weekend police have issued a warning about swimming to cool off. two men in their twenties were pulled from the water at babbacombe beach near torquay
8:35 pm
in devon yeseterday both men died. and in anther incident a twelve year old girl drowned in the river irwell in bury. let's speak to jack holmes, lake ranger at the lake district national park. on the water, where exactly are you? just out on patrol. it looks lovely, calm, sunny evening. the kind of benign picture that can be misleading for people sometimes. yes, obviously when the weather is nice like it has been over the past few days. people like to come down and use the lake for lots of different activities and ourselves along with their colleagues in the council often have to provide rescues for people who may have underestimated how cold the water still can be, even though the sun has been out and warm outside of the
8:36 pm
water. the problems in swimming in la kes ca n water. the problems in swimming in lakes can be a bit different from those, we are talking to the others about on the coast. but you mentioned water temperature, which they were also talking about. the very sudden difference you can find if you plunge into the water compared with the air temperature is. what about the water itself? you're not worrying about tides, but are there other problems that people think about when they just desperate to get into the cool? yes, most definitely. one of the busiest lakes in the lake district, one of the m essa 9 es we in the lake district, one of the messages we like to promote is making yourself visible to other la ke making yourself visible to other lake users and other different types of activities, sailing, motor boating, kayaking, and then outside of the lakes, rivers, etc, obviously lots of hazards in the rivers under
8:37 pm
the waters that you necessarily can see from the surface. also to things. the water can be quite dark even on a bright summers day. most definitely, windermere is 67 metres and it varies throughout the lakes and it varies throughout the lakes and the deeper areas, it can get very dark and difficult to see what is below the surface. the lakes are hugely possible for walkers, but is that another area of concern that people, they set out in the morning, they spotted the destination is probably a pub somewhere at lunchtime and maybe they have underestimated the risks of dehydration and heat stroke, particularly with the forecast for tomorrow. yes, that is a great point, outside of the water people watch the walking routes and head around the lakes in the lake district and making sure you are
8:38 pm
able to make up for the duration and the time will be encountering most definitely. how you spend your weekend? i'm working my weekend. it is not too bad, if i'm honest. brilliant. i hope you have a great time and all of the people that you have to deal with, small problems nothing too major. and i hope you enjoy it, thank you very much for talking to us this evening. doing brilliant work at the national park. chris williams and the mp was recently stated that labour has rescinded that decision after more than 100 complaints from mps. but his readmission. following events from westminster. back in february,
8:39 pm
words emerged where labour mp, a close ally ofjeremy corbyn was seen to be saying that labour had been too apologetic, given too much ground over the anti—semitism allegations in the party. he was suspended and then emerged this week on wednesday that he had been readmitted to the party following the decision in a panel. now, 48 hours later, he has had the party removed, he is therefore no longer a labourmp and this removed, he is therefore no longer a labour mp and this comes after numerous labour mps and peers tend to statement saying thatjeremy corbyn should personally take action that this is unacceptable and action need to be taken. so he is no longer a labourmp and need to be taken. so he is no longer a labour mp and will be a further meeting to decide what to do next on july nine of actually dissing some reaction from chris williamson, he has tweeted saying, they say a week isa has tweeted saying, they say a week is a long time in politics...
8:40 pm
i think you can read from that tweet that this whole saga is far from over. demolition teams have blown up what remains of a motorway bridge in the italian city of genoa, nearly a year after it partially collapsed, killing 43 people. high explosives were used in the demolition, after thousands of residents who live nearby had been evacuated from their homes. james reynolds reports. at nine o'clock this morning, genoa got ready to bring down the remains of the morandi bridge. there was a short delay because of reports that a man was found refusing to leave his home near the structure. officials sorted it out. water cannon were switched on, ready to catch the dust and then demolition experts pressed the button.
8:41 pm
it was all over in just a few seconds. the pile of dust covered the entire area. the operation was a success. translation: at 9:37am, the bridge came down. procedures have been strictly followed and plans are on track. oh, dear. italy is still recovering from the partial collapse of the bridge last summer. the structure fell when decaying cables, encased in concrete snapped. an investigation into who is to blame has yet to reach its conclusions. the country has already begun work on a replacement bridge, designed by the country's most famous architect, renzo piano. this is what it will look like.
