6:48 pm
dressmaker, and i took to it really well, and i just dressmaker, and i took to it really well, and ijust never look back from there. and i've been doing ever since. it wasn't long before nina was making dresses for other skaters at. i did my first one for a young beginner girl. to see their face when they see it finished — that makes it for me. because the little girl was just makes it for me. because the little girl wasjust lighting makes it for me. because the little girl was just lighting up, makes it for me. because the little girl wasjust lighting up, and that was her dress that she would compete in. it's probably one of the favourite things about competing, the sparkly dresses. this week, she will be showing off two of her designs at the british championships. but will they make it onto the podium? i've had a really good run up. training has been going really well. and ijust want good run up. training has been going really well. and i just want to come away from the competition, knowing that i've done my best and done what ican do. that i've done my best and done what i can do. and what i've been doing in training — if that means a metal oi’ in training — if that means a metal or not, great, but ijust want to do what i can do. and show your dress

6:50 pm
there. when you ride around the edge, you literally feel like you can touch people. and the christmas spirit — it is absolutely wonderful. my spirit — it is absolutely wonderful. my childhood dreams have all come true. is not always been a smooth ride. in the europeans over the summer, great britain lost silver. when her score was excluded because blood was found on freestyle. no there is anything done to enter the horse, but it was difficult and some m essa 9 es horse, but it was difficult and some messages on social media she found upsetting. this one bad thing happened and it got really blown up to be something that — yes, it was bad, but i never meant any harm to my horse. i feel like bad, but i never meant any harm to my horse. ifeel like it bad, but i never meant any harm to my horse. i feel like it has bad, but i never meant any harm to my horse. ifeel like it has made me a stronger person. i've come away and learned so much from it, and i'm and learned so much from it, and i'm a much stronger person. strength she is putting to good use with tokyo on the horizon. she and carl hester,
6:51 pm
cha rlotte's the horizon. she and carl hester, charlotte's trainer, are aiming for this goal together. she's no doubt one of the best superstars we've ever had in this country. she's producing more horses now, coming along behind her. and i think she will probably be at the top for a very long time. and i love training her. it has kept my interest, if i managed to get on the team next year, it would be my sixth olympic games. but you have to have enthusiasm to keep going this long, and that is what charlotte and i get off each other. we get enthusiasm. charlotte dujardin came to hear as a groom 13 years ago. together, they've made history. and they aren't done yet. amanda parr, bbc news. even the dogs are doing a bit of dressage there. wolves are currently winning, rangers losing, and we will have all the results for

you at 10:30pm this evening. but for now, goodbye. hello this is bbc news with lu kwesa burak. the headlines. back to our main story now. the police commander in charge on the day of the hillsborough disaster has been found not guilty of the manslaughter by gross negligence of 95 liverpool fans. david duckenfield, who's 75, was cleared after a seven—week retrial at preston crown court. this afternoon, the families of those victims gave a news conference. here's the chair of the hillsborough family support group, margaret aspinall, whose son james was killed in the crush. ido i do not blame the ipc for what went wrong today. i do not blame even the ground prosecution. i blame the
6:53 pm
system that is so morally wrong within this country. that is a disgrace to this nation. when 96 people — they say 95, we say 96 — we re people — they say 95, we say 96 — were unlawfully killed. and yet not one person is accountable. the question i'd like to ask all of you... are there people in the system who put the 96 in their graves? who is a accountable for the 96 unlawfully killed? what a disgrace this has been today. and what a shame on this country of ours. i feel so embarrassed to say thatis ours. i feel so embarrassed to say that is the system within our country. i'm really angry. i've tried to be calm for the sake of these families who have suffered so much. but 30 odd years, they've
6:54 pm
suffered, they've gone through hell, they've dashed all the people we've lost along the way. we've lost so many good family members. now my concern is that these families — i look at theirfaces. concern is that these families — i look at their faces. please, god, give them some peace. they deserve it. most importantly, them 96 deserve it. and they deserve something from this country that was morally right. as far as i'm concerned, i'm starting to get angry 110w. concerned, i'm starting to get angry now. that was a kangaroo court that we sat through. there was so much evidence that could have been brought forward that was not allowed. it was not allowed, and i'd like to know the jury saw the taylor report. if they saw that, there
6:55 pm
couldn't have been any other verdict. there couldn't have been any other verdict but guilty. we all know she was guilty. the families know she was guilty. the families know who guilty. our city knows who's guilty. he can walk around 110w. who's guilty. he can walk around now. and get on with his life. with a not guilty verdict. to me, that is a not guilty verdict. to me, that is a disgrace. margit‘s son died in the hillsborough crash. now it's time for a look at the weather with helen willetts. good evening for some we are seeing a transition from mild and wet weather that we've had for most of the autumn to a much colder weather as we approach the end of the week. it looks drier and sunnier, but it will be much colder. we rely on this arctic air... the other one just about held at bay, and we have this sliver of high pressure coming through. but the flight in the ointment overnight will be ice,
6:56 pm
having had so much rain, the services will be left damp. the other one just about held at bay. and then we've got this slither, if you like, of high pressure coming through. but the fly in the ointment overnight will be ice. having had so much rain, the surfaces will be left damp, particular the roads and the pavements. we've got showers that follow on from that rain. that rain lingering in the south, just about prevents a frost here. but really, the midland sorts words, anywhere's at risk of temperatures following the freezing or below. and therefore giving some icy conditions for the morning rush. so that's the main concern. could be a little bit of mist and shallow valley fog as well and we'll still have showers pestering northern and eastern areas. wintry over the hills, relatively low levels, but a bright sparkly day for most, except the south and west, where our weather front is lingering. at least the cloud and a little bit of patchy rain will linger for much of the day. feeling chilly, of course, in that northerly wind, which tends to ease a little as we go through tomorrow night. so more widespread frost. however, again, we've got weather frontsjust approaching in from the southwest. that's our concern as well.
6:57 pm
more rain as we go into the start of the weekend. but widely again, temperatures freezing or below, even in the towns and cities through friday night. so could be a little bit icy, could have some more fog problems as well. but again, the high—pressure keeps things largely fine. this weather system here, though, is going to bring more cloud back in, we think, or thicken the cloud. but it's there across southwest england, probably southwestern parts of wales. it might push that rain as far east as hampshire. there is uncertainty. and because it's coming into cold air, it could be a little bit wintry over the moors, so we will keep an eye on that. and elsewhere, yes, still a few showers but tending to cut off that feed down the north sea coasts. perhaps drier, sunnier here. and that low—pressure, hopefully, will scoot away southwards. not great news, as you can see, for central and southern parts of europe. of the high—pressure, then, gives many of us a dry day on sunday. just a few showers, nipping around the top area of that high—pressure into northern parts of scotland in particular. never ruling out one in the east as well. but a lot of dry unsettled weather, as we have, as you can see into the forecast period. however, there are warnings enforced. you can find those on the website.

you're watching beyond 100 days. conservative leader borisjohnson refuses to commit to a pre—election interview with one of the bbc‘s most forensic interviewers. the other party leaders have all subjected themselves to andrew neil's interrogation — but seven times this afternoon the prime minister was asked if he'd take part, seven times he dodged the question. here i am. i'm being interviewed by you... five minutes. not a full—length interview! are you saying you are incapable of providing scrutiny? this is a five—minute interview in a farm shop. it's not the same thing. 30 years after the hillsborough disaster, still no—one in authority is being held responsible for the death of the 96 fans. today, a jury found the policeman in charge on the day not guilty
