this is bbc news. i'm ben brown. the headlines at 11pm: this is bbc news. i'm ben brown. the headlines at "pm: the prime minister hosts a reception tonight for england's cricketers, who made history by winning the world cup for the first time. i could see everybody‘s reaction and the support and the following we had, we are excited to have done what we did. donald trump is accused of being racist after telling four democratic congress women to go back to the crime infested countries they came from. if you're 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 but a lot of people love it either way. more than 50 hours of surgery. a special report tonight on the

extraordinary skill of the great ormond street team as they separate these conjoined twins. second world war codebrea kers these conjoined twins. second world war codebreakers alan turing is chosen as the face of the new £50 note. and at 11:30pm we'll ta ke new £50 note. and at 11:30pm we'll take a review of the papers, with deputy editor of the guardian and john stevens, deputy political editor of the mail. stay with us for that. hello and good evening. the prime minister has hosted a reception this evening for the england cricketers after their incredible win against new zealand last night in the men's world cup final. the celebrations continued this morning when they met fa ns continued this morning when they met fans young and old at the oval in south london. the england team

dramatically turned around their fortu nes dramatically turned around their fortunes after a dismal world cup four years ago. 8 million people watched them win at lord's on television yesterday and the hope now is that being crowned world champions will help to inspire a new generation of cricketers and cricket stars. this report from sports editor dan roan contains some 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's a really good thing. what will it do for the sport? hopefully the next future england players are here today. hopefully we can get 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 their 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, 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 and, you know, parents, videos online, you know, people in trafalgar square, pubs watching the cricket, seeing how much it meant to them. 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 the officials, england have brushed off the controversy, preferring to focus on the preparation and progress that has seen them become the dominant one—day team in the world. commentator: england have won the world cup! 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 also 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 maybe 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 100—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 donald trump has stepped up president donald trump has stepped up his attacks on four democratic

congress women 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 we re came from, even though three of them were actually born in the united states. theresa may is among a number of people who have strongly criticised the president, but tonight he hit back, telling the congress women 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's caused the latest political storm, a racist twitter 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 0bama. 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's taking aim at, dressed in suffragette white during the president's state of the union address. the muslim congresswoman ilhan 0mar came here as a child from somalia. alexandra occasio—cortez was born in new york — not far from the birthplace of donald trump. all chant: 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 of 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 back 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 to where they came from. applause i have three half—chinese children, and if anyone... and they're 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 to do that. applause 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 bryant reporting from

washington. two years ago, twin sisters safa and ma rwa two years ago, twin sisters safa and marwa were born in pakistanjoined at the head and it's an incredibly rare condition. now surgeons at the great ormond street hospital in london have successfully separated the girls and the surgery was so complex it was performed over several stages over 50 hours, involving a huge team of doctors. in one of the first of three reports on conjoined twins this week, medical correspondent fergus walsh and producer rachel buchanan have had exclusive access to the family and the surgery. we have two today, safa and marwa. 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. this is safa and marwa. their mum has been praying for this day for nearly two years. safa and marwa are what is known as craniopagus twins. there ‘s goal is one long tube. —— their skull. it is incredibly rare. they have separate brains but they are misshapen. the surgery is so complex it will happen in three stages over several months. 0ne, one, two, three, just come up. the twins won't be physically separate until the final operation. we can see the artery but to do anything to it, we'll use the microscope... for each twin is supplying the other‘s brain with blood. cutting these connections is dangerous and will take

two operations complete. so the artery from safa supplying marwa's brain has been clamped. the twins have been in theatre now for more than seven hours and they 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 twins' skull, which can be detached in later operations. being older, they're pretty active, 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 quite carefully about whether we should do it or not. i think the whole team feel it's an excellent chance of a successful separation here. models of the twins' brains and shared skull have been created using a 3d printer. for surgeons, it's massively helpful. so actually being able to touch and hold things make so much difference to understanding how things are. this hemisphere, which is the right hemisphere of the brain, is standing up. so this is projecting into the other child's skull. what we need to achieve is effectively untwist the brains,

and that is pretty difficult to dojust in your head. this is surgery without scalpels. absolutely incredible. this is exactly what we wanted. 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. i mean, this is clearly the way of the feature. a month after the first operation, the twins are back in theatre. surgeons have to finish separating their shared blood vessels. there's something deep down there i can't see at the moment. but marwa's heart begins to fail and they fear losing her. we aren't stable but we are less on stable. 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 entire 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 little bit of a stormy time for safa and marwa, but they're 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's report as the twins are finally separated tomorrow night at bbc news. and a look at our latest

headlines: england's world cup winning cricket team have been meeting the prime minister at downing street this evening as they continue their celebrations. the four democratic congress women told to go back to where they came from by president trump have accused him of openly violating his oath and american values. and as you have just been seeing, in pioneering surgery, just been seeing, in pioneering surgery, doctors in london have separated twin girls who were born joint at the head. environmental protesters have used boats to block roads in five uk cities. in london, campaign group extinction rebellion targeted the road outside the royal court ofjustice targeted the road outside the royal court of justice and targeted the road outside the royal court ofjustice and campana said it was part of a five—day summer uprising. they want the government to declare a climate emergency. a serial thief who drugged and robbed

victims after meeting them on gay dating apps has been convicted of murdering businessmen at his home in south london stop a jury at the old bailey found him guilty of killing eric michaels with an overdose of the dangerous sex drug ghb. the offender, 26, had previously admitted selling ghb to the serial killer stephen port. 0ur correspondence 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 had met using the gay dating up grindr. they're seen here shopping in sainsbury‘s on the way back to eric michaels's house. there, gerry matavou drugged him with ghb to rob him, but gave him a fatal dose of the dangerous sedative. eric michaels's 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 had 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. but gerry matovu did go on robbing people with drugs. after killing eric michels, 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, becayse he's using a really dangerous drug to facilitate his crimes. five times, gerald matovu's 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's just a shame that my dad had to die for them to go and find him, basically. eric michels‘s 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 anorexia is an eating disorder that ca n d estroy anorexia is an eating disorder that can destroy lives, and teenage girls and young women are particularly vulnerable to what has long been considered a mental illness. but now, scientists at king's college london say it may also be a partly physical illness as well. the research has shown that changes hardwired into people's dna alter the way they process fats and sugars, making it easierfor them to starve their bodies. 0ur health correspondent reports. laura 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 just the mental torment every day, it does seem never—ending, 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 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 by scientists. the metabolic picture we see in anorexia we don't fully understand 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 is estimated to affect at least 43,500 women and girls in the uk, and 111,500 boys and men.

46% of those with the illness go on to recover. 33% eventually see symptoms improve. but for 20% of patients, treatments don't work, and they remain chronically ill. this is a symbol for eating disorder recovery. . . laura says she makes a daily effort to stay well, and this tattoo is her signal to do so. this research sheds 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 has been an international conspiracy to try to remove him from politics. mr zuma was giving his first day of evidence toa was giving his first day of evidence to a public enquiry injohannesburg, looking into claims he oversaw a web of corruption during his nine years

in office. out of power, but back in the spotlight, jacob zuma arriving to give evidence at an explosive corruption inquiry. a few cheers from his allies, but the former president has spent years trying to avoid exactly this kind of scrutiny. please 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. one million exactly. 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 in his own party, and warned of a dark conspiracy against him. there've 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 inquiry 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

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 contribution. he's the father of modern computing, the father of artificial intelligence, virtually everything we use today in day—to—day lives is derived from alan turing's genius. i'm just a mathematician. you've got more secrets than the rest of them. the imitation game told the tale of turing's life. he was played by benedict cumberbatch. turing's life. he was played by benedict cumberbatchlj turing's life. he was played by benedict cumberbatch. i hope that by this we should move towards something that is enlightened, hopefully, at this moment, towards something more tolerant and kind. he is idolised already in his native manchester, and wider recognition has grown. now he takes his place on

oui’ currency has grown. now he takes his place on our currency alongside the queen, six years after she officially pardoned him. alan turing, an enigma, an icon and a brilliant mathematician. this week marks 50 years since the historic moment when neil armstrong set foot on the moon. the apollo mission represented in armstrong's own words a giant leap for mankind, with the world watching and marbling, including the astronauts' families. a few months after apollo 11, alan bean became the fourth man on the world. his wife and daughter have been speaking about their memories of that moment back in 1969. archive: men were leaving the earth to land on the ocean of storms. my father is alan bean, and he was the lunar module pilot on apollo 12, fourth man to walk on the moon. 0ur neighbourhood was very close to nasa. everyone was either an engineer,

flight controller or a physician. 0ur neighbourhood had a very focussed goal. we didn't really think about it that much. ijust knew he was training to go into space. launch date was very exciting. it was a rainy day. we huddled all together, my mother, my grandmother, and my brother and i. he trained 7.5 years. we were just excited that it was finally going to happen. we had been waiting for so long. three, two, one, zero. all engines running, commence lift—off. then when it goes, the birds fly and it's so much noise and the ground shakes. roger, roger, bye—bye. see you on the other side. have fun. we just went on to school, because that's what you were supposed to do. mom tried to keep our normal routine as kids. and of course we were enjoying the moment and being there, but we still have to keep doing what we're supposed to do, and that was important to my dad. you always have in the back

of your mind that something could go wrong, and he told me, "remember i'm doing what i always loved, so don't worry." and i did have great confidence in his skill. we would rather him do what he loved, even if it had a big risk. i can't believe it — amazing! go in for landing. the day he landed on the moon it was about 12:30 houston time, and we were alljust sitting around, watching the tv, and hoping for the best. no—one else can tell you, "i love you to the moon and back" and really mean it, and i know that that was true. so often, he would say how his thoughts would drift back to his family. when he was on the moon, he looked up and saw that earth and thought, "gosh, you know, everybody i love is over there." when alan first got home, he had lost a lot of weight. he was a finicky eater, and eating that space food was not his thing. you know, he didn't talk about it

a lot when he came home, not because he wasn't proud or anything, but he kind ofjust wanted to be with his family, you know? when you see somebody that's been working so hard and has such a dream, you just — we just knew how hard he'd worked. and we had too, mostly my parents. you know, they had made a lot of sacrifices. he really did love to us the moon and back, and, well, i think he's still up there, thinking about us. weather is coming up injust a moment, but first, a huge waterspout has been photographed in corsica, and while water spouts are relatively common near the french island, local media has been placed on orange alert for storms and rainfall. i waterspout is really a column ofairand rainfall. i waterspout is really a column of air and water which occurs over a body of water and quickly dissolves dry land. it is quite a

rare phenomenon, according to meteorologist. speaking of meteorologists, let's get a weather update for you now. monday was st swithun's day and if you believe the folklore, that means that weather you had on monday will be the same for the next a0 days. i don't think that's going to happen because there are some changes afoot in the forecast for the week ahead. 0n the satellite, you can see various clumps of cloud swarming in the atlantic and ready to move in oui’ the atlantic and ready to move in our direction, frontal systems approaching as the week wears on and you can see the first one dangling in on tuesday but for most, high pressure holds firm. that front will be weakening all the while as it goes east, just providing extra moisture which could kick off showers in most places on tuesday afternoon but for the majority, and sunny day and a slightly warmer day, especially in eastern areas. 25 in hull, 26 in london. moving out
