to the countries they came from. every democrat in the house supported the symbolic resolution, which said the president had legitimised hatred, but only four republicans backed it. three of the congresswomen involved were born in america, the fourth is a us citizen. our north america correspondent david willis reports. these comments from the white house are disgraceful and disgusting and these comments are racist... a row that started in cyberspace became all the more human, not to mention personal, on the floor of the nation's capital. president trump urged these four congresswomen of colour, vocal critics of his administration, to "go back to where they came from." they should love our country. they shouldn't hate our country. you look at what they've said... i have clips right here. the most vile, horrible statements about our country, about israel, about others. it's up to them — they can do what they want.

they can leave, they can stay, but they should love our country. america has always been about the triumph of people who fight for everyone versus those who want to preserve rights for just a select few. and there is no bottom to the barrel of vitriol that will be used and weaponised to stifle those who want to advance rights for all people in the united states. republicans sought to have nancy pelosi's racist accusations struck from the record. can her words be taken down? i make a point of order that the gentlewoman's words are unparliamentary and ask for them to be taken down. the ill tempered partisan brawling that ensued proved too much for the acting house chairman. we want to just fight. i abandon the chair. the house voted to allow nancy pelosi to call the president a racist and lawmakers lined up

to tell of the effect racism had had on them. i know racism when i see it. i know racism when i feel it. and at the highest level of government, there is no room for racism. and make no mistake, when people tell me to go back to where i came from, that is a racist insult, because that's based on race! i am a proud naturalised citizen, born in india, a proud patriot, a proud person who belongs in this country and it's not the first time i've heard, "go back to your country", but it is the first time i have heard it coming from the white house. the president has said he does not have a racist bone in his body. but in a virtually unprecedented move, the house voted nonetheless to condemn his original tweet. yet far from settling the matter, the debate served to underline how

combustible as an issue race has become in 21st—century america. david willis, bbc news, washington. lets get the latest from there and join our correspondence gary o'donoghue. is all of this a deliberate strategy on the part of the president, gary? jane, i think we should be in no doubt, this isn't just a president lashing out. he does lash out if sports stars or film stars or pop stars happen to ci’oss film stars or pop stars happen to cross him in one way or another, he does that a spontaneous thing, having a pop back at them, but tactical. this is strategic. what he is trying to do is shape his opponent for the 2020 general election next year. in some ways, he is trying to put actual face on the idea and fear of immigration. the fear of people inside the country working against the best interest of

the country, wedding the democratic party to that idea. many people on the left would say that's completely unfair, they are as patriotically as anyone else. but he sees this as a winning strategy and he believes this will talk to what he feels is a silent majority out there that agrees with him. make no mistake, he is doing this deliberately. gary o'donoghue in washington, thank you. a court has heard that the former partner of a heavily pregnant woman, who was stabbed to death in her home, has accepted responsibility for her killing. leigh milner is at the old bailey: please explain what has been happening in court. 25 year aaron mckenzie wore a black tracksuit, charged with the murder of his pregnant ex—girlfriend kelly fauvrelle. inside the courtroom, he accepted responsibility for killing. what we have been told about what happened that night is that the

family were woken in the early hours on the 29th ofjune by screams coming from the downstairs bedroom. that was kelly who was eight months pregnant at the time. unfortunately, she passed away. the emergency services couldn't revive her. however, miraculously, they did manage to deliver her unborn son, who the family named riley. after spending five days in hospital, he passed away. during the time, it was raised in parliament in the prime minister's questions by labour mp steve reed, whose constituency call did not include thornton heath. he asked the prime minister to do more to tackle knife crime. aaron mckenzie will next appear in court for a plea hearing on the 2nd of october. thank you. house prices in london have fallen at their fastest pace since the financial crash a decade ago. new figures from the office for national statistics show that while average prices across the uk

are still rising, prices in the capital were 4.4% lower in may than a year earlier. our economics correspondent andy verity reports. over the whole of the uk, on average, house prices are still rising, even at a slower rate of four of rising, even at a slower rate of fourofi.2%. in the rising, even at a slower rate of four of i.2%. in the year to make the average price rose by £2000 to 229,000 according to the land registry. house prices have been doing that for a decade, becoming less and less affordable and forcing young families to live in rented accommodation. but in the british housing market, london usually leads the way in booms as well as busts. prices rise first in the capital in the boom and when there is a downturn, they tend to fall before the rest of the country for some london's price fall of 4.4% on average is the biggest fall since 2009 when the financial crisis was in full swing. what these figures show is that the average london home fell in price by £21,000 in the year to may. the average terraced house,

that fell by about £14,000. the average semidetached by £23,000 and the average detached house by £55,000. the average detached house by £55, 000. what's the average detached house by £55,000. what's striking about the price falls is that they are taking place at a time when mortgages are much cheaper than they used to be. the house price for exhilaration within london comes down to two factors, ones that are short—term, uncertainty around future household finances and what brexit might mean. clearly, there is that uncertainty that drags on and that becomes a real factor that drags on and that becomes a realfactor in london. secondly, long term. the house price growth we saw about 2016 meaning that in an age where mortgages are regulated, you are hit up against the limits of how much people are able to borrow and the amount of debt which they are able to get from their lender. that is set to act as a longer term drag on london house prices. the big freebie that many homeowners thought they were enjoying between 1996 and 2008 when prices trebled was often at the expense of their children and

grandchildren. barring very large sums to pay barely reachable prices of those who have enjoyed the decade's long run—up in house prices may fear a house price crash but many younger people who can't afford to own their own home would welcome it. andy verity, bbc news. theresa may has called onjeremy corbyn to apologise, accusing him of failing to open his eyes to anti—semitism in the labour party. let's speak to norman smith who's at westminster. how much pressure isjeremy corbyn under? let's be honest. although it was a bit of a cheek for mrs may to lea n a cross was a bit of a cheek for mrs may to lean across the dispatch box and start asking jeremy corbyn questions and demanding he apologise, it does point to the fact that the anti—semitism crisis in the labour party has now become a jeremy corbyn crisis. with labour peers, groups of labourmps, crisis. with labour peers, groups of labour mps, former staff members, the party's deputy leader all blaming mr corbyn personally for

allowing a culture in the party which has tolerated anti—semitism. indeed, this morning, some labour peers were saying they wanted mr corbyn to go in front of a jewish audience and to personally apologise for his failure to tackle the anti—semitism crisis. the response of tea m anti—semitism crisis. the response of team corbyn has been to denounce such people as effectively political malco nte nts, such people as effectively political malcontents, seeking to damage mr corbyn‘s leadership. interestingly, this morning, john mcdonnell, the shadow chancellor, a key ally of jeremy corbyn, said, "well, maybe we ought to listen to the views of some of those critical peers and may be those views could be incorporated into future recommendations". and you begin to wonder if the pressure is now so intense that around team corbyn there is a view that simply circling the wagon and denouncing critics as traitors is no longer sufficient. norman, thank you.

norman smith. the brother of the manchester arena bomber who killed 22 people is reportedly being extradited from libya to britain. a source has told the bbc that hassim brady, the brother of salman abedi is on his way to the uk. britain requested his extradition in 2017. he was arrested in libya shortly after the attack. the country's biggest rail company has been fined £1 million, after a passenger was killed when he leant out of an unlocked window. govia thameslink railway admitted a breach of health and safety rules, following the death of simon brown in 2016. mr brown, who was 24, put his head out of a gatwick express train as it travelled through south london at about 60 miles per hour. he suffered fatal injuries. the rail accident investigation branch said there was a sticker on the door warning passengers not to lean out of the window, but it was not clearly displayed.

a man who drove his car at cyclists, pedestrians and police officers in parliament square in london in august last year has been found guilty of attempted murder. salih khater, who is 30 and from birmingham, was arrested after his vehicle smashed into a security barrier outside the houses of parliament. the court heard that his motive was unclear. this week, we've been following the remarkable story of conjoined twins safra and marwa, who were separated by surgeons at great ormond street hospital in london. the surgeons who carried out that operation have since been to ireland to see twins separated eight years ago. fergus walsh is here. tell us more about these twins. let me introduce you to rital. now living in ireland where their father works as a doctor. we can see some

pictures. those girls, it is hard to believe. here they are at the front door with the two surgeons who separated them since they lost hospital eight years ago, giving them a set of teddies. looking at them, it is hard to believe they we re them, it is hard to believe they were once like safra and marwa that they were joined at the head. i spoke to their father. we are sitting here in a different area with two healthy twins and it isjust like what i hoped at that time. it is a great moment in my life. it makes you so emotional. how does their case compare with safra and marwa? like safra and marwa, they were separated over several operations. but the difference is that they were

separated as less than a year old. safra and marwa, there were delays, they were two. the lead surgeon told us they were two. the lead surgeon told us that doing it in that first year of life is the optimum time. so we feel the ideal time is between six and 12 months. what we put the two kids through and their brains through is a lot, and their younger brains and younger circulations are better adapted and have better regeneration potential. this is all about the importance of timing, the doctors think that is vital and indicates you have reported on so much this week, there was that delay because of lack of funding. that is right. we can't be certain whether marwa and safra will be doing as well as rital and ritag. but the key thing about conjoined twins, it is not something that is funded by the nhs. it needs to be

charitable funding. there were delays getting money for safra and marwa. upwards of £1 million was given. the surgeons have set up a charity partly for research but mainly so there is a pot of money so they can intervene early. these cases are vanishingly rare. so that twins like safra and marwa and rital and ritag have the best outcome. thank you so much. and you can see a special programme about safa and marwa this weekend on the bbc news channel. that's two brains, one skull — separating conjoined twins on saturday and sunday at 9.30pm. our top story this lunchtime. us house of representatives votes to condemn president trump as racist. and will england qualify for the semi—finals of the netball world cup?

they need to beat trindad and tobago in liverpool this afternoon. coming up on bbc news. the fleetwood town manager joey barton has been charged with actual bodily harm. it follows an incident at the end of his side's match at barnsley in april, which left a man with facial injuries. all this week, we're marking the 50th anniversary of the moon landing. yesterday was the anniversary of the mission‘s launch and last night, the smithsonian national air and space museum marked the occasion with a life—size projection of the saturn v rocket on the washington monument. rebecca morrelle looks back at how the four—day journey to the moon was reported. at this moment apollo 11 is nearly 35,000 miles out from earth and heading for the moon at 7000 miles an hour. the crew are going to be a little bit less cold than we thought they were going to be. just now mission control asked them, why the long

period of radio silence? and they answered, that was not radio silence, that was a sandwich in my mouth! that was the presenterjames burke in the specially built bbc tv studio which we have recreated here. by this point in the astronauts' journey they were well on their way. the third stage of the rocket has fired for a second time, pushing the spacecraft out of earth orbit and on its course to the moon. once on track, the command and service module colombia, which is where the astronauts are, turns 180 degrees and docks with the lunar module, eagle. the rest of the third stage detaches and floats away into space. the spacecraft continues on to the moon. apollo 11, this is houston. how do you read, over? can you hear me? this is mike. loud and clear, mike. we understand you are docked. that's right.

people who are victims of domestic violence in rural areas sufferfor longer, and struggle to get support — according to a new report. a study by the national rural crime network has found that people who've been abused often feel isolated and have fewer means of escape. frankie mccamley reports. making the idyllic move to the beautiful countryside to enjoy a quiet life. for some, though, this isolation is used as a way to control and abuse. sarah, not her real name, was in a controlling relationship for years, living in a rural community made herfeel like she could not ask for help. i feel like a prisoner. and living so far away in the middle of nowhere, it is dark and it is quiet and you haven't got people around you. like many abusers, her ex was manipulative rather than physical. which is harder to prove in court.

i've always said in some ways if he had punched me in the face and emptied my bank account i would have a physical track, a trace of what he has done to me. and i don't have that. i've just got years of absolute hell and anxiety and feelings that i cannot explain to anybody because no one can understand what i have been living with. she managed to access help but finding it was not easy. i was scared to go to the gp because the gp, the receptionist, everybody in there knows you or know somebody to do with you. and i don't want my life out there. but that could change. so this is the first time that anybody has looked at domestic abuse specifically through the lens of rurality. a research project has found victims of rural domestic abuse are half as likely to report it and the abuse goes on significantly longer than urban areas. we have had very clear examples of an entire community have been sort of roped into the abuse by the abuser. and so when the police knock on the door of potential witnesses they are always on the side

of the abuser and not the abused. this research is just a starting point to find out how common this crime is in the countryside. but the bigger challenge is going to be changing some of those entrenched views that protect the perpetrator rather than the victim. the research will be discussed in parliament later today in the hope of protecting those victims hidden by isolation. frankie mccamley, bbc news, north yorkshire. demand is growing for electric cars — but many people still have concerns about how long it takes to charge them. today a network of faster plug—in points is being launched across the uk — they should fully charge a battery in less than 20 minutes. dan simmons has more. sales of electric cars in uk have been growing steadily over the past few years. yet they still only make up about 3% of all new registrations. for many motorists the thought of using them for longer journeys brings anxiety, about getting stranded between charging stations, and about how long it takes to recharge the battery.

while the number of charging points has increased rapidly over the past two years, the time it takes to fill up remains lengthy compared to petrol or diesel vehicles. most of the uk's fast charging stations operate at about 50 kilowatts. that is enough to fill a family car up to about 80%, in roughly 45 minutes, depending on conditions. these new superchargers, though, promise to cut that time to just eight minutes. we are saying that high—power charging will be identical to petrol engine cars, there will be no difference, it will be easy, simple, and seamless. but there is a catch. not one of these new electric cars released this year are built to take a charge that quickly. although the pump will automatically reduce the power to match what the vehicle can manage. so this current car will charge at 150 kilowatts in around 30 minutes orjust under.

further down the line, in about a year's time, there will be another vehicle that comes that we will sell which can do that in under ten minutes with this much faster charger. 40 of these souped up charging stations will roll out across the uk between now and the end of next year, offering many motorists a much quicker charge, even if it will take a year or two before they can be used on full power. dan simmons, bbc news, milton keynes. northern ireland's rugged north—east coastline is ready to host one of golf‘s biggest events — the open championship. tomorrow, 2011 champion and local favourite darren clarke will tee—off the first championship to be held outside england and scotland in 68 years. the favourite to win the claretjug is local man rory mcilroy — who shot the course record when he wasjust 16. it is one of sport's most spectacular settings, about to host one of its greatest events. the open championship back in picturesque portrush, and it has been a while.

the open golf championship is held for the first time in ireland at portrush. 1951 was the last time it came here. but helped by the recent success of northern ireland's golfers, most notably rory mcilroy, its dream return could produce a dream victory. it is hard not to think about it, it is hard not to think about walking up here and you know, holing a putt on that green to win the open. so you know, winning the open anywhere is very special but obviously being from here and having the memories i have on this golf course, you know, it would probablyjust mean that little bit more. and what memories they are. remarkably rory mcilroy was just 16 when he shot the best ever round here. he is the favourite but with conditions becoming more testing, the open should live up to its name. over the next four days around 200,000 people will be descending on this course.

in fact it is the first sell—out in the open‘s history. and yet for so long the idea of this event ever coming here seemed unthinkable. former open champion darren clarke will hit the opening shot tomorrow. he remembers growing up in northern ireland during the troubles in the 19705 and 1980s. bombs were going off quite frequently. and you know, a lot of people unfortunately paid a heavy penalty for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. but that was our life back then at that stage. to get to the point where you guys are all sitting here doing this has been an incredible journey for what we have all come through. an event then of more than just sporting significance but as the world's best arrive, the scene is set for golfing glory. andy swiss, bbc news, royal portrush. chris page is in belfast for us. this is potentially a big moment for

northern ireland 7 this is potentially a big moment for northern ireland? it is and a measure of how passionate people here are about the game of golf that played does not stop even when the weather is bad. here at belfast city hall we have this crazy golf course with well—known landmarks for northern ireland and this is just one of many golfing attractions which have popped up around the city and beyond as people prepare to host the open. the excitement is building and it is a long time since northern ireland had this mum at last, 1951 was the last time that the open across the irish sea. since then we had 40 yea rs across the irish sea. since then we had 40 years of the troubles and during that time it was inconceivable that an event of that size could be held here but the peace process has brought new opportunities and this has been a huge ambition for many people here especially those in the tourism

industry. anotherfactor especially those in the tourism industry. another factor is the success of local golfers, darren clarke, roy mcavoy, graeme mcdowell. with officials estimating the value to the local economy is more than £80 million it will feel like eve ryo ne £80 million it will feel like everyone is a winner. england will get through to the semifinals of the netball world cup this afternoon — if they can beat trinidad. tracey neville's side, the commonwealth champions, have won every game so far in their home world cup, including beating the world number two team jamaica. kate grey is in liverpool. england are doing everything right at this tournament so far with four wins from four matches to date are trippy and they face trinidad and tobago. if they win they will pretty much confirm their place in the semifinals on saturday and if that is the case then they will face some very tough opposition. summing the matches go the way we have today england will been in that semifinal.

trinidad should not cause them many problems, dare rank ten in the world versus england ranked number three england had a brilliant tournament so england had a brilliant tournament so far, beating jamaica monday that they had a day off and they will come to this match fresh and hoping for a comfortable win ready for some much tougher matches later on in the tournament. if they make it to the semifinals they will face either new zealand or australia, two of the top teams in the following match to date we will see scotland on court applicants jamaica, jamaica trying to keep their hopes alive here and scotla nd to keep their hopes alive here and scotland looking for a top eight finish. but england will be the centre of attention hoping to get into that semifinal position. the most—played song on uk radio of the 21st century has been revealed — it is the snow patrol ballad chasing cars. released in 2006, the anthem never reached number one, but did spend a total of more than two years in the top 75 singles chart. our entertainment correspondent

colin paterson has more. # we'll do it all # everything # on our own #. snow patrol‘s chasing cars was released in 2006 and never reached higher than number six in the charts, but it returned again and again and again, appearing in the top 75 eight years in a row. the band's singer gary lightbody has a theory as to why it has become the most played song of the century on tv and radio. # if i lay here # if ijust lay here...# chasing cars, i have said it before, that it is the purest love song, mainly because most of the songs that i've written were more about the end of relationships, you know? normally when you are in a relationship or you are happy you don't think, "you know what i'm going to do right now? i'm going to write a song."

# if i lay here # if ijust lay here...# a huge part of chasing cars' success was the broadness of its appeal. not many tracks have ever been on heavy rotation on both the indie radio station xfm and easy listening specialists magic. what's interesting is what this says about us as a nation, that we are pretty romantic. it's not like a brash pop song, it's not a realist r&b track, it's this rather romantic, non—ironic, beautiful love song, and i think that says quite a lot about the kind of people we are as a nation. and the amazing thing about the making of chasing cars — gary lightbody says it was the quickest song he's ever written. in fact, it was one of ten composed in a single night. and that title — well, it came from a comment made by his dad, who referred to his lovesick son

as being like a dog
