a. as their extraordinary victory is celebrated in downing street. lifting the trophy — the prime minister hosts a reception for the england men's team that made history by winning the world cup for the first time. celebrations have been going on all day, starting at the oval, where fans flocked to see the team after the most dramatic of wins. when you see everybody‘s reaction, and you know how much support and following we had, that's when we really start to understand what we did. eight million people watched the match on television. will it be enough to inspire the next generation? also tonight: president trump is accused of being racist after telling four democratic congresswomen to go back to the "crime—infested countries" they came from. if you're not happy here, you can leave. and that's what i say all the time.

that's what i said in the tweet, which i guess some people think is controversial. a lot of people love it, by the way. more than 50 hours of surgery — a special report on the extraordinary skill of the great ormond street team as they start to separate these twins. and the second world war code—breaker alan turing is chosen as the face of the new £50 note. and coming up on sportsday later in the hour on bbc news, the england roses maintain their unbeaten record at the netball world cup as they upset the sunshine girls. good evening. the prime minister has hosted a reception for england's cricketers tonight after their incredible victory against new zealand yesterday in the men's

world cup final. the celebrations continued this morning when they met fans, young and old, at the oval ground in south london. the england team have dramatically turned around their fortunes, after a dismal world cup four years ago. eight million people watched them win at lord's on television yesterday. the hope now is that being crowned world champions will help inspire a new generation of cricket stars, as our sports editor, dan roan, reports. this report contains flash photography. it's the lift that cricket — and perhaps also she — needed. after their world cup triumph at the home of the sport, tonight england took the trophy to the home of the prime minister. theresa may, who witnessed the drama herself at lord's, welcoming the team to downing street. earlier, at the oval, cricket, it seemed, was cool again. how good does this feel? captain eoin morgan mobbed as the next generation of fans accepted the chance to celebrate with their heroes after one of the sport's greatest ever games.

despite just a few hours‘ sleep, one of the stars of yesterday's unforgettable final telling me just how much it all meant. it was a great team effort, i think it means a lot more to these people than to us, and that is a really good thing. what will it do for the sport? hopefully the next generation of players are here today, a whole xi that say, "we were here when they won it." england! england's celebrations continued late into the night at lord's after a final for the ages. this is a young team that reflects modern britain. the captain said his players had drawn strength from the diverse backgrounds and cultures to achieve success when it mattered more than ever. the team still trying to absorb the scale of the achievement. i don't think it really sunk in yesterday. we knew we'd won the world cup, like, but i don't think it will for the next couple of days, to be honest. but this is the start of it, coming down here and seeing all the kids, you know, parents, videos online, you know, people in trafalgar square,

pubs watching the cricket, seeing how much it meant to them. got to run! the complications of the critical moments at lord's are still being discussed. when this throw hit ben stokes‘s bat and flew to the boundary, it seems he should have got five runs instead of six, because he'd only completed one at the time of the throw. amid talk of an error by official, england have brushed off the controversy, preferring focus on the preparation and progress that has seen them become the dominant one—day team in the world. well, these are the kind of scenes english cricket has been dreaming of for years. if these players didn't realise it before, then perhaps this acclaim will show them the extent to which yesterday's extraordinary final at lord's has changed not only their lives but perhaps their sport as well. they hope is that more youngsters, like these practising today at ben stokes‘s old club in cockermouth, are inspired after a slump in the numbers playing the sport over the last decade.

just amazing to see that we could play on the same wicket as he did. he's a real inspiration and a top—class player. it shows that we could be bowling from the same end, we could be batting in the same crease as him, and it shows that we could make it and play on may be lord's one day. a peak of 8 million people watched the final, with live international cricket back on free—to—air tv for the first time in 14 years after sky shared its coverage with channel 4. but almost all england games will now return behind a paywall. all the money from tv rights does go back into the game in one form or another. balance that against, of course, wanting as many people to see cricket as we can get to see cricket. that's a balance we have to strike. next summer sees the launch of a controversial ioo—ball tournament designed to attract new fans. it will do well to replicate the drama of yesterday. but for now at least these players have helped the country to fall back in love with the game. dan roan, bbc news.

president trump has stepped up his attacks on four democratic congresswomen after he was accused of being racist. he told them on twitter that they should go back to the "crime—infested countries they came from", even though three of them were born in the states. theresa may is among a number of people who strongly criticised the president. but tonight he hit back, telling the congresswomen that if they're not happy in america, they should leave. nick bryant reports from washington. donald trump was at the helm of a made in the usa business event at the white house today, showcasing the kind of economic nationalism that's become a selling point of his "america first" presidency. but it's his white nationalism that has caused the latest political storm, a racist political attack aimed at four women of colour, three of whom were born in the usa. the president of the united states. "go back to where you came from" was the message of his tweets — words he repeated from a presidential podium last used by his predecessor, barack obama.

if you're not happy here, you can leave. and that's what i say all the time. that's what i said in a tweet, which i guess some people think is controversial. a lot of people love it, by the way. a lot of people love it. but if you're not happy in the us, if you're complaining all the time, very simply, you can leave. these are the women he is taking aim at, dressed in suffragette white during the president's state of the union address. the muslim congresswoman ilhan omar came here as a child from somalia. alexandra ocasio—cortez was born in new york — not far from the birthplace of donald trump. usa, usa, usa! he relies on racism, division and anti—immigrant sentiment to consolidate power because he does not have a positive vision of the future in america. i want you to know that you belong, that this is our country, and no amount of hate—filled bullying from the white house will change that. we're going to fight

that together, and we're going to become stronger for it. downing street called the president's language completely unacceptable. the men hoping to be its next occupant agreed but stopped short of calling the twitter attack racist. if you're the leader of a great multiracial, multicultural society, you simply cannot use that kind of language about sending people back where they came from. i have three have chinese children, and ifanyone... and they are british citizens, born on the nhs, and if anyone ever said to them, "go back to china," i would be utterly appalled. and i would say something else — it is totally un—british. but applause on this side of the atlantic for donald trump and hardly any criticism from fellow republicans. it seems he's trying to frame next year's presidential election and using america's angry racial fault line to do so. nick is in washington for us.

he clearly doesn't think comments are going to do much damage. yeah, race has always been at the heart of donald trump's political business model. when he first made his political name, it was by claiming falsely that barack obama was not born in america. when he launched his 2016 presidential campaign, he did so with an attack on mexican immigrants. this seems to be an attempt sophie, to make those four congresswomen the face of the modern day democratic party. now, his base will love it, those who attend rallies. the question is, will it alienate moderate republicans, people who in 2016 voted for him, holding their noses, primarily because they hated hillary clinton? this seems to be an attempt to create new hate figures. what he seems to be asking is, which america do you want to be part of, might america all their america? what i can tell you with certainty is that no modern date sitting president has

used raised so blatantly, so provocatively, so deliberately — and so provocatively, so deliberately — and so divisive leave. nick bryant in washington, thank you. two years ago, twin sisters safa and marwa were born in pakistan, joined at the head. it's an incredibly rare condition, but now surgeons at great ormond street hospital in london have successfully separated the girls. the surgery was so complex that it was performed over several stages totalling more than 50 hours and involving a huge team. in the first of three reports this week on conjoined twins, our medical correspondent fergus walsh and producer rachael buchanan have had exclusive access to the family and the surgery. blouse so we have one case for the list today. they are in this journey together. in order for one of them to do well, they have both got to do well. joined at the head, safa and marwa have never seen each other. this is the start of

an incredible journey aimed at giving them independence. it's october 2018 at great ormond street hospital. their mother has been praying for this day for nearly two years. safa and marwa are what is known as craniopagus twins. des kelly is one long tube. —— their skull. they have separate brains, but they are misshapen. the surgery is so complex it will happen in three stages over several months. the twins won't be physically separate until the final operation. we can see the artery but to do anything to it... each twin is supplying the other‘s brain with blood. cutting these connections is dangerous and will take two

operations to complete. so the artery has been clamped. the twins have been in theatre now for more than seven hours, and there are still seven hours of the operation to go. so far, everything is going to plan and both girls are doing well. this central segment will be our rigid keel to hold their head together. a frame is made from pieces of their skull which can be detached in later operations. being older, they are pretty active and so whatever we do really has to be strong enough to resist the twisting and bending forces that they will be putting on their heads. the twins are from pakistan. ideally, the surgery should have been done a year earlier when healing ability is strongest. but there were delays finding a donor to pay the medical costs. despite the risks, the family doctors believe right to go ahead.

it's clearly very difficult to go through life when you are joined together like that. so it does make a persuasive case in favour of attempting the operation. the family are very clear on that. if we felt there wasn't a high chance we could do it safely, we would be thinking carefully about whether we should do it or not. i think the whole team feel it's an excellent chance of a successful separation. models of the twins' brains and shared skull have been created using a 3d printer. for surgeons, it's massively helpful. being able to touch and hold things make so much difference to understanding how things are. this hemisphere, the right hemisphere of the brain, is standing up. this is projecting into the other child's skull. what we need to achieve is untwist the brains

and that is pretty difficult to dojust in your head. and this is surgery without scalpels. absolutely incredible. using virtual reality. it works, it really works. now we can see a whole lot more information and level of detail we haven't been able to access previously. this is the way of the future. a month after the first operation, the twins are back in theatre. surgeons have to finish separating their shared blood vessels. there is something deep down there i can't see at the moment. but marwa's heart begins to fail, and they fear losing her. we are not stable but we are less unstable. good enough for me. the crisis passes. because marwa is the weaker, the surgeons give her a major blood vessel to increase

her chances of survival. but it disadvantages safa. shortly after the 20—hour operation, she has a stroke. we were very close to losing her. she stayed in that critical state for 72 hours after surgery. it was very difficult time for the girls, their families and the team looking after them. but after a lengthy time in intensive care, both twins pulled through. the last two months after their last operation on the brain has been a bit of a stormy time for safa and marwa. but they are hanging in there and are both reasonably well. the next challenge will be to separate the girls. fergus walsh, bbc news. and you can see the second part of fergus' report as the twins are finally separated, tomorrow night. environmental protesters have used boats to block roads in five uk cities.

in london, the campaign group extinction rebellion targeted the road outside the royal courts of justice. campaigners said it was the start of a five—day summer uprising. a serial thief who drugged and robbed victims after meeting them on gay dating apps has been convicted of murdering a businessman at his home in south london. a jury at the old bailey found gerald matovu guilty of killing eric michaels with an overdose of the dangerous sedative ghb. matovu, who is 26, had previously admitted selling ghb to the serial killer stephen port. daniel sandford was in court. murdered for his bank cards, his phone and a few bottles of wine — business executive and part—time actor eric michaels. his killer was gerry matovu. they'd met using the gay dating up grindr. they'd met using the gay

dating app grindr. they're seen here shopping in sainsbury‘s on the way back to eric michaels' house. there, gerry matavou drugged him with ghb to rob him — but gave him a fatal dose of the dangerous sedative. eric michaels' sons described the family's loss. i'll never meet anyone like him every again in my life and... losing him has been like losing a limb. the police knew all about gerry matovu. he'd sold drugs to steven port, the notorious ghb serial killer. today we can reveal that matovu had even drugged and robbed port himself just before port was arrested for killing four men, prompting this misspelt exchange on whatsapp. "i hope you don't do that again to anyone, because it's not only dangerous, but to then take their stuff is criminal," port wrote. to which matovu replied, "i'm so sorry, and it won't happen ever again." but gerry matovu did go on robbing people with drugs. after killing eric michaels,

he brazenly left with a suitcase of loot. he's a liar, he's a hustler, he's a thief. he had no regard for a person's welfare, no regard at all for their life, because he's using a really dangerous drug to facilitate his crimes. five times, gerald matovu's previous robberies using ghb had been reported to police, but the investigations were limited. for example, at this east london hotel last may, matovu targeted a dutch businessman. here, matovu drugged him and stole all his possessions, including his clothes, his laptop, his mobile phones and his bank cards. he even took the flatscreen television and the toilet brush from the hotel bedroom. but police failed to identify the man who had drugged his victim into unconsciousness, even though it would have been easy to do so from his grindr account. i don't understand why it wasn't followed up at that time, because we might not be where we are today if it was. it is a shame my dad had

to die for them to go and find him, basically. eric michaels' sons want police forces to take cases where people are drugged much more seriously, and they want the law changed to recognise just how lethal ghb can be. daniel sandford, bbc news. anorexia is an eating disorder that can destroy lives. teenage girls and young women are particularly vulnerable to what's long been considered a mental illness. but now scientists at king's college london say it may also be a partly physical illness too. new research showed that changes hard—wired into people's dna alters the way they process fats and sugars, making it easierfor them to starve their bodies. our health correspondent sophie hutchinson reports. laura shah is in recovery from anorexia. she was diagnosed when

she was 15 years old. she was so sick, she had to be taken out of school and cared for full time at home. mentally, it was probably the most horrific thing i've been through. the trauma that you put yourself through and mental torment every the mental torment every day, it seems neverending, and i can see why people struggle to recover from it. anorexia is largely considered to be a psychiatric illness, but a major new study published in the journal nature genetics suggests it may also be linked to metabolism, the way a person processes food and utilises energy. the dna of almost 17,000 patients across 17 countries was analysed. the metabolic picture we see in anorexia, we don't fully understand it yet, but it does seem that people with anorexia are genetically predisposed towards having a lower bmi, towards having lower body fat, towards having a decreased risk of type two diabetes and towards having higher levels of good cholesterol.

anorexia has the highest mortality rate of any psychiatric illness. it's estimated to affect at least 43,500 women and girls in the uk and 1a,500 boys and men. 46% of those with the illness go on to recover, 33% eventually see their symptoms improve. but for 20% of patients, treatments don't work and they remain chronically ill. laura says she makes a daily effort to stay well and this tattoo is her signal to do so. this research, which sheds a light on why some people don't have internal signals, warning them when they are dangerously malnourished, may help develop new treatments and save lives. the former president of south africa, jacob zuma, has criticised allegations of corruption against him, claiming there's been

an international conspiracy to try to remove him from politics. mr zuma was giving his first day of evidence to a public inquiry injohannesburg which is looking into claims that he oversaw a webof corruption during his nine years in office. andrew harding reports. out of power, but back in the spotlight. jacob zuma, arriving to give evidence at an explosive corruption enquiry. a few cheers from his allies, but the former president has spent years trying to avoid exactly this kind of scrutiny. raise your right hand and say, "so help me, god". so help me, god. now he is under oath. for months, south africans have watched as the alleged crimes of the zuma era have been exposed in this hall and live on television, secret footage revealed showing bribes being counted out for government officials.

this morning, jacob zuma insisted it was all lies, part of an elaborate plot to discredit him. i've been vilified, alleged to be the king of corrupt people. not true, he insisted. instead, zuma blamed western governments, traitors and his own party, and warned of a dark conspiracy against him. there have been people sent from outside the country to come and kill me. at times, zuma still manages to joke about his legal battles. but he is clearly in trouble. outside the enquiry today, a small crowd urged him to fight on and clear his name. jacob zuma insists he is a victim of a vast international conspiracy. his supporters outside believe that too. but many south africans see something different happening here.

they see a once untouchable leader finally being forced to answer for the extraordinary corruption that flourished during his period in power, corruption that nearly destroyed a young democracy‘s key institutions. andrew harding, bbc news, johannesburg. alan turing was a brilliant mathematician and code breaker who helped the allies win the second world war, and a pioneer of early computing. now he has been chosen to be the new face of the £50 note. turing died in 195a. turing's significance to science and recognition by the public was denied him in his lifetime because of his homosexuality, as dan johnson reports. he was a man of numbers he became a code breaking genius, but for so long, alan turing himself remained a hidden figure, his sick of being gay in an age when that was illegal. it brought persecution, a conviction in him ending his own life at a1. here

at bletchley pack, he broke the nazis' enigma code. his machine helps shot in the second world war and saved countless lives. the scientist that will feature on the £50 note is alan turing. applause. so from 2021, his image will go on oui’ so from 2021, his image will go on our newest banknote, marking the full range of his contributions. he is the father of modern computing. he is the father of artificial intelligence. virtually everything we are today in our day—to—day lives is derived from turing's genius. i'm just a mathematician. you have more seekers than the best of them. the imitation game told the tale of during's life. he was paid by benedict cumberbatch. for him, this isa benedict cumberbatch. for him, this is a great month of validation and i hope that by this, we should move

towards something enlightened. this isa towards something enlightened. this is a moment of moving toward something more tolerant and kind. he is idolised already in his native manchester, and wider recognition has gone. now he takes his place on oui’ currency has gone. now he takes his place on our currency alongside the queen, six years after she officially pardoned him. alan turing, an enigma, and a brilliant mathematician. dan johnson, bbc news. that's all from us. now on bbc one, it's time for the news where you are. hello, you're watching bbc news. i am olly foster at the bbc sport centre. this is what is coming up on sportsday tonight. we catch up with the england cricketers as they enjoy their first day of charm —— as

champions of the world. and the roses are not doing too badly in their pursuit of the netball world cup. still in it in liverpool. underworld championship medal for daly and lee and also qualification for next year's olympics. daley and lee and also qualification for next year's olympics. quite a day for england's cricketers. the newly crowned world champions have not let that trophy out of their sight. they took it to downing street this evening for a reception with the prime minister. theresa may one of the lucky ones at lord's to witness that victory. a little blea ry eyed lord's to witness that victory. a little bleary eyed after last

night's celebrations, they were at the oval where they were greeted by hundreds of schoolchildren... ladies and gentlemen, would you please welcome the icc cricket world cup champions, england! applause i don't think it really set in yesterday. you know, we knew that we had one like the world cup. i don't think it probably will for the first couple of days, but the start of it, coming down here, seeing all the kids, parents, that online, people in the square, watching the cricket, how much it meant to them. we got that run out. when you see everybody‘s reaction and our support and following, then we really start to understand what we did. being involved in the previous world cup, going through all that, to see the transformation and development of the side over the past four years, being part of that journey, the side over the past four years, being part of thatjourney, it has been extremely enjoyable, exciting, andl been extremely enjoyable, exciting, and i have had some great fun on the field playing with the men we have,

and to enjoy being world champions, it's brilliant. so proud of everyone involved. so please for eoin, all the hard work he has put in. certainly i think the final frontier for england cricket is to talk it up a lot more, rather than the glass half empty, now the glass half full. going forward, hopefully this result helps that. after playing yesterday, probably sinking in a little more this morning, butjust a really, really great day yesterday, especially sharing it with the lads. hopefully the players, and it is the players, the way they have played, hopefully they have been able to change a few mindsets. england have maintained their 100% record at the netball world cup in liverpool, victory overjamaica giving england

a great chance of reaching the final. but the sunshine girls, ranked above the third man in the world, will need some results to go their way to make the last four. after yesterday's events at the cricket, great time to be an england fan. for england's g group game againstjamaica fan. for england's g group game against jamaica in liverpool, fan. for england's g group game againstjamaica in liverpool, that have so far. the roses took full advantage of a slowjamaica, following their shock defeat to south africa yesterday. never play from serena guthrie and joanne hart and could not miss. jamaica lied heavily on the skills of jalil fowler to bring them back into the game and they came back out fighting. taking the lead for the first time, maintaining her100% scoring rate, fowler, just one point separating the two between half time. that was not enough to keep them in the game. harton and helen housby were the perfect partnership to extend the roses's lead. the final quarter, and a final
