Pope Francis has condemned what he called a 'barbarous killing'.

Our correspondent Tom Burridge is there and we'll speak

But first to our Lucy Williamson in Rouen.

Lucy, just a thought on the latest security update, there, to do with

what security services knew about one of these attackers? That's

right. I think that confidence in France's security services has taken

quite a knock recently. You may remember a Parliamentary enquiry

criticising intelligence services for not coordinating monitoring

suspects. When it comes to this suspect could attack, it seems as

though the prosecutor office asked for him to be retained in detention

after he was arrested for trying to go to Syria. That was overturned by

a judge, and four months later it takes on quite a different hue.

Tom, your thoughts on how today Bulls dreadful events may affect the

papal visit to Poland? This is a huge event for the Catholic Church.

Pope Francis will arrive here among some sadness and boiled and over the

killing. When it comes to the Pope's public statement there will be a

change in emphasis. People will be looking to him to confront and talk

about the issue of extremist Islamist ideology and the violence

it has been able to inspire and Europe. And I think people will be

looking in a wider sense, although the two men who carried out the

attack in France were not refugees, we expect the Pope to confront the

issue of immigration. An attack on a train in Germany last week was

carried out by a young asylum seeker. When he talks about the

wider issue of immigration, it will be interesting to see whether he can

balance his usual approach of welcoming asylum seekers into Europe

but at the same time addressing genuine concerns of people about

what that means for security. The last argument has been used by right

wing Conservative governments in Europe like the government in

Poland, as a reason for there being less immigration into the EU. People

will be looking for a nuanced, clever response from the Pope. Thank

you. Ofcom, the telecom regulator,

has rejected calls for the company which runs Britain's broadband

infrastructure to be split up. But it's recommending that BT

Openreach should nonetheless be separated from BT,

and it says the changes will mean more people receive

a fast, reliable service. Critics say the performance

of BT Openreach has long been unsatisfactory,

as our industry correspondent Ian Firth wanted to run his

property firm from home His broadband in Somerset

is unreliable. to a rented office nine

miles away, just to get Four or five years ago it wasn't

a problem for me because technology Now we are dealing with large file

sizes and it means having to have a decent connection

to actually manage the business. As a result I'm losing time

and money and it's purely, in my view, down to the failure

of British Telecom to invest BT towers over the UK's internet

scene because companies like TalkTalk and Sky have

to use their Openreach network in order

to get their customers online. Critics say that structure has been

holding back the roll-out In the UK just 2% of households

and businesses have ultrafast broadband provided by fibre running

right up to the doorstep. Now, that compares

with 70% in Japan. So Openreach will become a legally

separate company in what's being called the biggest

shake-up in a decade. It will remain part of BT,

but it will make decisions in Some say that's just

burying the issue. Here in York TalkTalk and Sky have

resorted They wanted Openreach

to be sold off. I don't think that legally

separating Openreach goes far enough because you're dependent

on detailed regulation, lots of lawyers poring all over

what BT can and can't do. Whereas if you properly separate,

create Openreach plc, there's no need for all that

complicated regulation, and it's very clear how much money

Openreach are making and how much they are investing

in improving our broadband. BT says it plans to invest

?6 billion in better broadband in the coming years and it insists

that breaking up the company There is no evidence anywhere around

the world that structural In fact the examples,

the few countries that have done it, Prices going up, no additional

choice for customers. These reforms are meant to deliver

a step change in customer service and make the UK a world

leading digital economy. For many households and businesses

that can't come soon enough. 2016 could become the worst year

to date for migrant deaths according to figures released

by the International It says more than 3,000

migrants and refugees have lost their lives so far this year

trying to cross the Mediterranean - more than 1,000 more

than at this stage last year. Most of those who died

set out from Libya, which is now the main departure

point for the smugglers' vessels, and the Libyan coastguard

is struggling to cope. Our Middle East correspondent

Orla Guerin has been out on one of their missions and she sent us

this special report. As the sun goes down,

we set out with the Tripoli coastguard, facing the perils

of the Mediterranean, This inflatable, battered

by the waves, is their From their fleet of four,

three need repairs. Later, in pitch darkness,

they are on the lookout for migrants in distress - not easy

without night-vision goggles. All they can do is listen

for their vessels. It's 1.30am and we are in a stretch

of water where smugglers' boats pass regularly,

usually between one and three. The engine is off,

the lights are off. The coastguard don't want to alert

anyone to their presence. But, if a rescue is needed

here tonight, they have just this With daybreak, a clear horizon,

this time, but they say it is the traffickers

who rule the waves. TRANSLATION: The smugglers have more

boats and more weapons. They can escort the migrants

to European waters and we can't do And coastguard officials say

there is another problem further out to sea, just beyond Libyan

territorial waters, Operation Sofia. They say the EU mission,

supposed to shut down smuggling routes, is ferrying migrants

to Italy like a taxi. There is agreement from

a smuggler, now detained, who the authorities say

is a big fish. The operation saved

lives and it encouraged So they think these ships

will pick them up quickly? When you were arranging for these

people to get on these overcrowded boats and go to Europe,

did you ever stop to think No, because we always

pray for them, you know? The coastguard coming to rescue

this vessel last month. Pregnant women among those

scrambling for places. So many crammed on board,

some of the crew had to sit on top And this is what awaits those

saved by the coastguard - detention back in Libya,

even for women and children. Several of those here told us

they would not risk crossing again, but the coastguard say they have

rescued some migrants five For the men and boys,

even worse conditions. The authorities say they are doing

their best with scarce resources This 14-year-old from Gambia told

us his brother was caught Still, he came here all alone,

hoping to find work in Europe. Many we met were economic migrants,

men heading to the airport. Instead of the new life they craved,

being deported back to Gambia. Others, like Betty from Nigeria,

still look to the Mediterranean She's waiting for a call

for the White House, Bernie Sanders has urged Democrats

to back Hillary Clinton in a speech to the party

convention in Philadelphia. Many of his supporters expressed

their opposition to Mrs Clinton, though they later gave a rapturous

response to a speech by Michelle Obama, who told

delegates to embrace Hillary Clinton and reject

the values of Donald Trump. Let's join our North America editor

Jon Sopel in Philadelphia. Thank you. In the next few minutes,

they will start the roll call states, one state after the other,

conducting a vote which will see Hillary Clinton number rated --

nominated as the democratic candidate. The Bernie Sanders

supporters and Never Hillary camp have been making a lot of noise, and

they will continue to do so. More concerning for Hillary Clinton is

that that voice is echoed in the country. She needs to win over those

people but last night it was the big guns of the democratic party getting

behind Hillary Clinton. To angry Bernie Sanders supporters

this probably wasn't the best approach from actress and comedian

Sarah Silverman. Can I just say to the Bernie Or Bust

people - you're being ridiculous. But the person who did manage

to simultaneously unite and electrify the convention

was the First Lady, Michelle Obama. I wake up every morning in a house

that was built by slaves. And I watch my daughters,

two beautiful, intelligent, black young women playing with their dogs

on the White House lawn. And because of Hillary Clinton,

my daughters and all our sons and daughters now take for granted

that a woman can be president And she took this shot

at Donald Trump's "make Don't let anyone ever tell

you that this country isn't great, that somehow we need

to make it great again, because this, right now,

is the greatest country on earth. But now it was Bernie Sanders' turn

to bring his mutinous Any objective observer will conclude

that, based on her ideas and her leadership, Hillary Clinton

must become the next president But nearly all other mentions

of Hillary Clinton were met with jeers from sections

of the audience. I'm not going to support her

because she is a war hog, she is Would you rather have Donald Trump

or Hillary Clinton? That's all I can say,

they're stupid. They're booing every time

Hillary Clinton's name comes up. Polls suggest 90% of Bernie Sanders'

supporters will back But those that won't are making

a lot of noise. A woman from Bradford

has been the victim of a so-called honour killing,

according to her husband. 28-year-old Samia Shahid died

on a visit to her ancestral village The family denies the allegation,

but her husband has told the BBC that they never approved

of her marriage, and he claims they took matters

into their own hands. Our correspondent Danny

Savage has the story. They got married two years ago

in Leeds, but now she is dead and her husband says he doesn't

believe what her family Samia Shahid was 28 years old,

and died in Pakistan last week. They were threatening us

with in Dubai, claims she was the victim of a so-called

honour killing because her family And the father told the police

that she had committed suicide. She was really happy,

she was really excited, I don't trust the

reports he's giving. She went to Pakistan

to visit sick relatives. They organised a postmortem

examination, but admit the cause Back in Bradford where Samia grew

up, her local MP has written Honour crimes are commonplace

in Pakistan, which is why I took the step to write to the Prime

Minister. That's not something

I have done lightly. Because I want to

ensure his commitment. This is where Samia and Syed got

married in September 2014. She had recently separated

from her first husband Her family strongly denied

the allegations being But the authorities in Islamabad

are coming under pressure to thoroughly investigate

Samia Shahid's death. Her uncle says the claims

are lies and they don't What I've seen in the media

today is totally wrong. And this person who was pretending

to be her husband, that is wrong, Tonight West Yorkshire Police

from an adult cell - known as Dolly the sheep -

"siblings" are in good health. Our science editor David

Shukman has more details. Researchers at Nottingham University

conducting a highly In this scanner lies

a very special sheep, one that's been cloned,

and the aim is to find out if cloning produces animals that age

more rapidly than normal. It's the first

investigation of its kind. Because cloning involves taking DNA

from one animal and planting it inside the egg of another,

the worry is that the newborn might start life with a body that's

older than it should be. That seemed to be what happened

to Dolly, who became the first Her joints showed signs of failing,

as they would in a sheep Dolly was diagnosed

with osteoarthritis in her stifle, her knee joints, at a relatively

young age, and the concerned therefore was, because osteoporosis

becomes more common in older people, older animals, the concern was,

is Dolly older than we think she is? To understand if the cloned sheep

were old before their time, researchers looked at three

of the conditions that come So circulation and blood pressure -

they seemed fine. General metabolism and the threat

of diabetes - also no problem. And the health of the joints,

the osteoarthritis that Dolly had. Well, of the 13 cloned

sheep that were studied, And that could mean that, for us,

any treatment involving stem cells created by cloning might

have a better chance Four sheep cloned from the same

genetic material that created Dolly. They do look amazingly similar and,

crucially, their health The scientists involved in the study

say that's potentially It actually opens up opportunities,

you know, for various therapies We can create stem cells, perhaps,
