0:00:05 > 0:00:10Tonight at Ten - Robert Mugabe faces a formal process of impeachment

0:00:10 > 0:00:12following his refusal to step down as president of Zimbabwe.

0:00:12 > 0:00:15A day after his defiant appearance on national

0:00:15 > 0:00:20television, the 93-year-old is still clinging to office.

0:00:20 > 0:00:22On the streets, more voices raised against the man who's

0:00:22 > 0:00:24ruled for four decades, as the military suggest

0:00:24 > 0:00:30there might be a way forward.

0:00:30 > 0:00:35We have made further consultation with the president to agree

0:00:35 > 0:00:38on a road map on the prevailing situation in the country.

0:00:38 > 0:00:40We'll be reporting from Harare on the likely

0:00:40 > 0:00:41moves in the days ahead.

0:00:41 > 0:00:44Also tonight...

0:00:44 > 0:00:47At No 10, ministers are said in principle to have agreed

0:00:47 > 0:00:50on an increased Brexit divorce payment to the EU.

0:00:50 > 0:00:56But in Germany, the future of Chancellor Merkel,

0:00:56 > 0:00:59one of the EU's strongest voices, is in doubt after the collapse

0:00:59 > 0:01:00of coalition talks.

0:01:00 > 0:01:02There's been a sharp fall in the number of community

0:01:02 > 0:01:04nurses in England - just one feature of

0:01:04 > 0:01:12the strain on the NHS.

0:01:12 > 0:01:15And the bells of Westminster Abbey ring out again, to mark the 70th

0:01:15 > 0:01:20wedding anniversary of the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh.

0:01:20 > 0:01:28Coming up on Sportsday - the tennis world remembers Jana Novotna, who

0:01:28 > 0:01:32who has died at the age of 49.

0:01:45 > 0:01:49Good evening.

0:01:49 > 0:01:52Robert Mugabe is now facing a formal process of impeachment,

0:01:52 > 0:01:57following his refusal to step down as president of Zimbabwe.

0:01:57 > 0:01:59The country's ruling party, Zanu-PF, has agreed

0:01:59 > 0:02:01to begin the process, hours after he appeared

0:02:01 > 0:02:05on national television, and demanded the right to continue.

0:02:05 > 0:02:08He's accused of allowing his wife to usurp power and,

0:02:08 > 0:02:13at the age of 93, of being incapable of governing.

0:02:13 > 0:02:15The military said tonight that there could be a "road-map"

0:02:15 > 0:02:18to a transfer of power, as our Africa editor Fergal Keane

0:02:18 > 0:02:21reports from Harare.

0:02:21 > 0:02:25They are still the muscle behind the political manoeuvring.

0:02:25 > 0:02:31And, when the generals speak, people and politicians listen.

0:02:31 > 0:02:34Tonight, they hinted in a rare press conference that talks

0:02:34 > 0:02:37between Robert Mugabe and his would-be successor,

0:02:37 > 0:02:42Emmerson Mnangagwa, would happen soon.

0:02:42 > 0:02:44The Zimbabwe defence and security services are encouraged

0:02:44 > 0:02:53by new developments which include contact between the president

0:02:53 > 0:02:58and the former vice-president, comrade Emmerson Mnangagwa,

0:02:58 > 0:03:01who is expected in the country shortly.

0:03:01 > 0:03:03Thereafter, the nation will be advised on the outcome

0:03:03 > 0:03:10of talks between the two.

0:03:10 > 0:03:13A suggestion of talks and a road map has encouraged speculation that

0:03:13 > 0:03:15Robert Mugabe is starting to feel the political pressure as, piece

0:03:15 > 0:03:18by piece, his power is shredded.

0:03:18 > 0:03:22His MPs gathered in Harare to begin the legal process of impeachment,

0:03:22 > 0:03:28removing him from office by parliamentary vote and telling us

0:03:28 > 0:03:31it could happen in days.

0:03:31 > 0:03:34We are expecting the motion to be moved tomorrow and a committee

0:03:34 > 0:03:36to be set up tomorrow, and hopefully by Wednesday,

0:03:36 > 0:03:39because the charges are so clear, we expect that we should be able

0:03:39 > 0:03:40to vote in parliament.

0:03:40 > 0:03:41It could be done that soon?

0:03:41 > 0:03:42Yes.

0:03:42 > 0:03:48In the audience, a First Lady in waiting, Auxilia,

0:03:48 > 0:03:50wife of Emmerson Mnangagwa, whom the party wants as president.

0:03:50 > 0:03:51How are you?

0:03:51 > 0:03:53Will your husband be coming soon?

0:03:53 > 0:03:54I'm not commenting on that.

0:03:54 > 0:03:55Everybody is waiting to see him.

0:03:55 > 0:03:57I'm also waiting to see him.

0:03:57 > 0:04:06Thank you very much.

0:04:06 > 0:04:08Well, you can hear the emotions are building here, and this

0:04:08 > 0:04:11is a parliamentary party set on getting rid of Robert Mugabe.

0:04:11 > 0:04:13They share that ambition with the people of Zimbabwe,

0:04:13 > 0:04:14with the military.

0:04:14 > 0:04:17Listen, when the people have spoken, that is it.

0:04:17 > 0:04:23The people have spoken in Zimbabwe.

0:04:23 > 0:04:24Zanu-PF is speaking.

0:04:24 > 0:04:26And we are good to go.

0:04:26 > 0:04:27But the generals are in a bind.

0:04:27 > 0:04:29They banked on Robert Mugabe caving in quickly.

0:04:29 > 0:04:32However, last night's rambling speech to the nation made no

0:04:32 > 0:04:35mention of resigning.

0:04:35 > 0:04:38I will preside over these processes...

0:04:38 > 0:04:40He appeared detached from reality, talking about presiding

0:04:40 > 0:04:44over a party congress.

0:04:44 > 0:04:46The question is why the generals allowed this to happen.

0:04:46 > 0:04:48Partly, it's to do with a changed Africa.

0:04:48 > 0:04:51The old days of shooting leaders are gone.

0:04:51 > 0:04:53Human rights lawyer Beatrice Mtetwa was once

0:04:53 > 0:04:57persecuted by Robert Mugabe.

0:04:57 > 0:05:00She says the generals and Mr Mnangagwa want to be seen

0:05:00 > 0:05:02to be acting constitutionally.

0:05:02 > 0:05:06Zimbabwean culture has always been that you make the law,

0:05:06 > 0:05:09you justify your actions on the basis that this is the law,

0:05:09 > 0:05:12and this is in line with the Zimbabwean way

0:05:12 > 0:05:14of doing things.

0:05:14 > 0:05:17Give it respectability by making it law, however bad it is.

0:05:17 > 0:05:21The talks mooted tonight might yet end this crisis.

0:05:21 > 0:05:23But the people are ready for impeachment.

0:05:23 > 0:05:25And that legal path is about ensuring the legitimacy

0:05:25 > 0:05:29of those who rule Zimbabwe next.

0:05:29 > 0:05:34Our Africa editor, Fergal Keane, is in Harare.

0:05:34 > 0:05:39Tell us a little more about this process of impeachment and how long

0:05:39 > 0:05:45do you think it could take in reality?We're being told by

0:05:45 > 0:05:51Zanu-PF's constitutional lawyer, two days. And he says critically that

0:05:51 > 0:05:54they have the support of the opposition. That matters because

0:05:54 > 0:05:58they do not have the two thirds majority necessary otherwise. The

0:05:58 > 0:06:04difficulty in this very swift process is that if Emmerson

0:06:04 > 0:06:07Mnangagwa and the military want this to look like a legitimate cost

0:06:07 > 0:06:13additional exercise, 48 hours looks very desultory, so it might go

0:06:13 > 0:06:16beyond that. And remember this is also about piling pressure on Robert

0:06:16 > 0:06:24Mugabe. Emmerson Mnangagwa and the generals hope that instead of facing

0:06:24 > 0:06:26the humiliation of impeachment, he will decide to resign. However

0:06:26 > 0:06:30nothing we saw in that address last night suggested he was in any mood

0:06:30 > 0:06:36to do that.Fergal Keane, thank you very much.

0:06:36 > 0:06:39The BBC understands there was broad agreement at a cabinet committee

0:06:39 > 0:06:41meeting tonight that the Government should increase the

0:06:41 > 0:06:44Brexit financial offer to the EU, but only in return for the EU moving

0:06:44 > 0:06:46onto talks about a future trade deal.

0:06:46 > 0:06:47Earlier today, the EU's chief Brexit negotiator,

0:06:47 > 0:06:48Michel Barnier, said

0:06:48 > 0:06:52that the two sides had to agree on what he called an orderly

0:06:52 > 0:06:54withdrawal, and warned that the UK was unlikely to secure

0:06:54 > 0:06:57an advantageous free trade deal if it tried to transform

0:06:57 > 0:06:58itself into a low-tax, low-regulation economy.

0:06:58 > 0:07:00Our political editor, Laura Kuenssberg, has more details.

0:07:00 > 0:07:10Her report containis some flash photography.

0:07:12 > 0:07:18Have you agreed to pay more money, the Foreign Secretary...?They are

0:07:18 > 0:07:25never going to agree every single thing.Was there a row in there?He

0:07:25 > 0:07:29said we would get money back when we leave. SHE said it would cost us

0:07:29 > 0:07:35billions. Ministers have tonight agreed that the Prime Minister can

0:07:35 > 0:07:40at least promised to pay more to settle our accounts.We have been

0:07:40 > 0:07:44very clear that we will honour our commitments. But I want us to

0:07:44 > 0:07:47develop that special partnership with the European Union for the

0:07:47 > 0:07:52future, and I want to see us moving together.Together. Notice the Prime

0:07:52 > 0:07:56Minister in a factory this morning hinting that one will not happen

0:07:56 > 0:08:00without the other. Rest of the EU will not get their version of the

0:08:00 > 0:08:04bill if they don't agree to move on next month to talk about trade and a

0:08:04 > 0:08:11settling in period, the transition, where factories and firms all over

0:08:11 > 0:08:14the country can adjust to the idea. That sort of promise is something

0:08:14 > 0:08:19which in Brussels simply has to happen.Do you want more money from

0:08:19 > 0:08:25the UK to move forward on talks?If you missed it, about was a yes from

0:08:25 > 0:08:32the Germans. And the Dutch say, get on with it.It has to be concrete

0:08:32 > 0:08:35and on the table instead of in the press.There are already real

0:08:35 > 0:08:42consequences of Brexit. The moves of the medical and banking regulators

0:08:42 > 0:08:46from London to the continent, announced like diplomatic bingo

0:08:46 > 0:08:51today.Based on today's voting, we have selected Amsterdam to be the

0:08:51 > 0:08:58new seat of the European Medicines Agency and Paris will be the new

0:08:58 > 0:09:00seat of the European Banking Authority.And the chief negotiator,

0:09:00 > 0:09:07Michel Barnier, was clear that the UK and the City can't have all the

0:09:07 > 0:09:15benefits of the single market, but...If we manage to negotiate,

0:09:15 > 0:09:20there is every reason for our future partnership to be ambitious. This is

0:09:20 > 0:09:25our preferred option.What was agreed tonight is a long way from a

0:09:25 > 0:09:29detailed blueprint for Brexit. But ministers did accept that Theresa

0:09:29 > 0:09:33May can put hypothetical extreme billions on the table, only if,

0:09:33 > 0:09:38though, the EU agrees to talk trade and about transition. The mood

0:09:38 > 0:09:45around the table - the government will move, but not on its own.

0:09:45 > 0:09:51Tonight's decision should, hopes No 10, yet the negotiations shifting.

0:09:51 > 0:09:55But it is not just events here which will determine if there will be a

0:09:55 > 0:10:01deal, or we will walk away. Laura Kuenssberg, BBC News, Westminster.

0:10:01 > 0:10:05One of the strongest voices on the terms of any

0:10:05 > 0:10:07Brexit deal is that of Chancellor Merkel of Germany.

0:10:07 > 0:10:10But her future as Chancellor has been put in doubt

0:10:10 > 0:10:13by the unexpected collapse of talks to form a coalition government.

0:10:13 > 0:10:14Mrs Merkel said she'd rather have another election

0:10:14 > 0:10:16than lead a minority administration.

0:10:16 > 0:10:18The crisis was provoked by the decision of the Free Democrats

0:10:18 > 0:10:20to pull out of talks with Angela Merkel's Christian

0:10:20 > 0:10:21Democrats and the Greens.

0:10:21 > 0:10:26Our Europe editor, Katya Adler, reports from Berlin.

0:10:26 > 0:10:33Her report contains some flashing images. Ask a European about strong

0:10:33 > 0:10:40and stable government, and this will be their focal point - Germany, a

0:10:40 > 0:10:43country proud of its post-war political stability and careful

0:10:43 > 0:10:53consensus-building. Until today. The day Angela Merkel won the dubious

0:10:53 > 0:10:57honour of becoming Germany's first leader since World War II to fail to

0:10:57 > 0:11:03form a government. But it is not over yet. Coalition talks have

0:11:03 > 0:11:08collapsed for now, but Mrs Michael is nothing if not a seasoned

0:11:08 > 0:11:12political fighter. She has been German Prime Minister for three

0:11:12 > 0:11:19terms already. Would she consider giving up now?TRANSLATION: No.

0:11:19 > 0:11:23Resigning is never an option. I have always said that I am ready to serve

0:11:23 > 0:11:27Germany for a further four years. This coalition failed in its

0:11:27 > 0:11:30negotiating talks but that does not mean that I will forget the promise

0:11:30 > 0:11:34I made.Earlier today, Mrs Merkel met the German president to discuss

0:11:34 > 0:11:40what is next. New attempts at government forming, or fresh

0:11:40 > 0:11:47elections? Both carry the real risk that the far right could benefit.

0:11:47 > 0:11:49TRANSLATION: This is an unprecedented situation in modern

0:11:49 > 0:11:54Germany. This goes beyond party interest. Concern may well start to

0:11:54 > 0:12:00grow outside Germany, too. That's if politicians do not live up to their

0:12:00 > 0:12:03responsibility in Europe's biggest and economically strongest nation.

0:12:03 > 0:12:09So, what does this all mean? It depends who you speak to. Here in

0:12:09 > 0:12:13Germany tonight the biggest question is, can Angela Merkel survive this,

0:12:13 > 0:12:18the biggest political crisis of her career? Political up evil in the

0:12:18 > 0:12:22German chancellery has repercussions elsewhere. Take the EU, for example,

0:12:22 > 0:12:28which has been fairly bullish of late, planning reform of the

0:12:28 > 0:12:30eurozone and closer defence co-operation, all with Germany in

0:12:30 > 0:12:34the driving seat. And what about Brexit? A source close to Angela

0:12:34 > 0:12:40Merkel insisted to me today that Germany's attitudes to Brexit would

0:12:40 > 0:12:45remain unchanged. But is that realistic? With her not in the game

0:12:45 > 0:12:51at the moment, keeping her own act together, trying to form a

0:12:51 > 0:12:56government, the impact on Brexit in the short term is that nothing

0:12:56 > 0:13:02moves.They can talk as much as they want in Brussels, but they're all

0:13:02 > 0:13:09waiting from the signal from Berlin. Angela Merkel promised Germany a new

0:13:09 > 0:13:16government for Christmas. That now seems more than unlikely. The irony

0:13:16 > 0:13:19is that this political crisis comes at a time this country economically

0:13:19 > 0:13:23has never had it so good, and when Europe, faced with international

0:13:23 > 0:13:28uncertainties, relies more than ever on stable German leadership. Katya

0:13:28 > 0:13:34Adler, BBC News, Berlin. We can go to Downing Street to speak to Laura

0:13:34 > 0:13:39Kuenssberg now. That meeting which took pace at No 10 - what did they

0:13:39 > 0:13:43settle?They settled one big thing, which Theresa May had hoped for,

0:13:43 > 0:13:48that she was able to show a little bit of movement to the EU side. She

0:13:48 > 0:13:54got an amber light rather than a bright green flashing light, but she

0:13:54 > 0:13:59will be able to go to Europe and say, if you play ball then I have

0:13:59 > 0:14:03permission from my cabinet to hold out the possibility of a lot more

0:14:03 > 0:14:07cash in principle. What is not settled is any discussion of an

0:14:07 > 0:14:12actual figure. There is no agreement between the UK and the EU about how

0:14:12 > 0:14:15you would actually count up the exit bill, let alone an agreement inside

0:14:15 > 0:14:21the Tory party and among people who voted leave thinking they would get

0:14:21 > 0:14:24money back about what kind of figure would actually be acceptable. For a

0:14:24 > 0:14:30long time there has been expectation that something around £40 billion is

0:14:30 > 0:14:34roughly where officials believe this might end up. But I underline, there

0:14:34 > 0:14:38is no agreement on that and it is still a long way off. There is also

0:14:38 > 0:14:41nothing settled about the cabinet position on the kind of relationship

0:14:41 > 0:14:44they want between the UK and the rest of the continent after we

0:14:44 > 0:14:49leave. That division around the Cabinet table and inside the Tory

0:14:49 > 0:14:55party remains. It is also not clear, as we were hearing from Katya Adler,

0:14:55 > 0:14:58what kind of impact the German instability will have on all of

0:14:58 > 0:15:04this. One Cabinet minister suggested to me today that this was an

0:15:04 > 0:15:08important additional layer of complexity. How will the EU really

0:15:08 > 0:15:13be able to consider what Britain is willing to put on the table when its

0:15:13 > 0:15:15biggest, most powerful decision maker is understandably distracted

0:15:15 > 0:15:21with its own issues? But Theresa May HAS got a bit of movement which she

0:15:21 > 0:15:25felt she needed politically. She will take that with her to Brussels,

0:15:25 > 0:15:31where she has been summoned either president of the EU council.

0:15:31 > 0:15:33Police in Dorset say that three people

0:15:33 > 0:15:35who had been arrested in connection with the disappearance

0:15:35 > 0:15:37of the teenager Gaia Pope have been released from their

0:15:37 > 0:15:40investigation, and will face no further action.

0:15:41 > 0:15:43The 19-year-old's body was found on Saturday afternoon,

0:15:43 > 0:15:44near the town of Swanage.

0:15:44 > 0:15:46A police spokesman said that after a postmortem examination

0:15:46 > 0:15:49they had concluded that no-one else was involved in her death,

0:15:49 > 0:15:53as our correspondent Duncan Kennedy reports.

0:15:53 > 0:15:55From the town that had helped search for Gaia,

0:15:55 > 0:15:58today came a place to remember her.

0:15:58 > 0:16:01In the briefest of words, the most heartfelt of condolences

0:16:01 > 0:16:08for the teenager they had hoped would return.

0:16:08 > 0:16:14Gaia had been missing for 11 days, when her body was found on Saturday.

0:16:14 > 0:16:17Today, her father Richard thanked the local community for their help

0:16:17 > 0:16:23and spoke of Gaia's magnificent soul and overflowing spirit.

0:16:23 > 0:16:25Well, the loss of her, in one way, is immeasurable.

0:16:25 > 0:16:32We will treasure her and honour her always.

0:16:32 > 0:16:35And I say, Gaia, you're not in pain any more, my darling.

0:16:35 > 0:16:40We...we love you, I love you.

0:16:40 > 0:16:44Hundreds of people had searched the hills above Swanage.

0:16:44 > 0:16:46Police say there's nothing to suggest someone else

0:16:46 > 0:16:49was involved in Gaia's death, but her family have been left

0:16:49 > 0:16:52distressed over the time it took to discover her.

0:16:52 > 0:16:55This is not something that should have happened.

0:16:55 > 0:17:01And it should not have taken 11 days to find her so close.

0:17:01 > 0:17:05And we need to know why.

0:17:05 > 0:17:08Three people were arrested and released during this inquiry.

0:17:08 > 0:17:17Detectives said today the three would face no further action.

0:17:17 > 0:17:19But the father of Paul Elsey, one of those detained,

0:17:19 > 0:17:21said the police went too far.

0:17:21 > 0:17:22What did they do?

0:17:22 > 0:17:25They decided that my family were involved in it,

0:17:25 > 0:17:30when all they've tried to do is show kindness.

0:17:30 > 0:17:33Dorset Police said today their investigation may have caused

0:17:33 > 0:17:36stress to some individuals, but that it had an obligation

0:17:36 > 0:17:40to explore every possible line of inquiry.

0:17:40 > 0:17:43Gaia Pope's family say they now want to be left

0:17:43 > 0:17:45to grieve in private.

0:17:45 > 0:17:51Duncan Kennedy, BBC News.

0:17:51 > 0:17:54Every year, the NHS in England is put under growing strain

0:17:54 > 0:17:55during the winter months.

0:17:55 > 0:17:58Health experts say it needs £4 billion more next year

0:17:58 > 0:18:01to maintain levels of patient care.

0:18:01 > 0:18:05But ministers say it needs different ways of working.

0:18:05 > 0:18:08One possible solution is treating more people at home.

0:18:08 > 0:18:10Back in 2010, there were 7,500 district nurses

0:18:10 > 0:18:13providing crucial home care in England.

0:18:13 > 0:18:17There are now just over 4,000 nurses doing the same job.

0:18:17 > 0:18:19Our health correspondent Dominic Hughes spent two days

0:18:19 > 0:18:24with a team in Leeds.

0:18:24 > 0:18:27As a health professional, you know what you're signing up to,

0:18:27 > 0:18:29you know you're going to be working round the clock.

0:18:29 > 0:18:34This is highly-skilled, demanding work.

0:18:34 > 0:18:37There are all these people looking at you to make a decision

0:18:37 > 0:18:39or come up with a plan.

0:18:39 > 0:18:40Erm, and that can be quite difficult.

0:18:40 > 0:18:42In a service under pressure.

0:18:42 > 0:18:45We do constantly struggle with the supply of staff to do

0:18:45 > 0:18:49the job that we need done.

0:18:49 > 0:18:50Good morning, Nora.

0:18:50 > 0:18:52Good morning, Maurice.

0:18:52 > 0:18:55District nurses form the backbone of health care in our communities.

0:18:55 > 0:18:57You are on the mend.

0:18:57 > 0:19:00And I think the antibiotics have done the trick,

0:19:00 > 0:19:02so I'm really pleased.

0:19:02 > 0:19:09A stroke, throat cancer, diabetes and liver problems have

0:19:09 > 0:19:11left Maurice dependent on the support of his wife Nora and

0:19:11 > 0:19:13community matron Temba Ndirigu.

0:19:13 > 0:19:16In many ways, Maurice is a typical patient.

0:19:16 > 0:19:18Is this where you're getting the pain?

0:19:18 > 0:19:24Without people like Temba, he'd be constantly in and out of hospital.

0:19:24 > 0:19:27No matter what time of the day, you can ring them any time.

0:19:27 > 0:19:29The district nurses, they'll all come.

0:19:29 > 0:19:31You know, the carers.

0:19:31 > 0:19:35We...

0:19:35 > 0:19:38I wouldn't be able to keep him at home without them.

0:19:38 > 0:19:40In a hospital, it's your environment, as it were.

0:19:40 > 0:19:46In someone's home, the tables are completely reversed.

0:19:46 > 0:19:49You are a guest in their home, and this sense of being alone.

0:19:49 > 0:19:51It's just you and the patient or their family.

0:19:51 > 0:19:54There is a ten year difference in life expectancy between some

0:19:54 > 0:19:57of the more deprived areas of Leeds and wealthier parts of the city.

0:19:57 > 0:20:00And that presents a challenge to the community nursing teams,

0:20:00 > 0:20:03who are seeing patients with a myriad of complicated

0:20:03 > 0:20:06different health problems.

0:20:06 > 0:20:09But the real issue is, there are simply not enough qualified

0:20:09 > 0:20:14nurses who are willing or able to do this really difficult job.

0:20:14 > 0:20:18Back at base, the team are trying to manage a growing number of cases.

0:20:18 > 0:20:20It's not easy.

0:20:20 > 0:20:24I can't do it...

0:20:24 > 0:20:27We just have pressure day in, and day out to do it.

0:20:27 > 0:20:30If services like mine aren't there 24/7, our hospitals

0:20:30 > 0:20:33are completely full.

0:20:33 > 0:20:35Hello!

0:20:35 > 0:20:39Staff nurse Lisa is on another call-out, this time to check up

0:20:39 > 0:20:42on Colin, who has problems with his legs.

0:20:42 > 0:20:44Is your skin all right everywhere else, Colin?

0:20:44 > 0:20:45Yeah.

0:20:45 > 0:20:46Not getting sore anywhere?

0:20:46 > 0:20:49No.

0:20:49 > 0:20:52Keeping patients like Colin at home rather than in hospital is central

0:20:52 > 0:20:56to plans for the future of the NHS in England.

0:20:56 > 0:20:58Would you be able to get the prescription sent to the chemist

0:20:58 > 0:21:01and delivered to his home address, please?

0:21:01 > 0:21:07This is work often unseen, requiring dedication and compassion,

0:21:07 > 0:21:10but it is vital if the health service as we know it

0:21:10 > 0:21:13is to continue as we know it.

0:21:21 > 0:21:26Britain is to lose its seat on the International Court of Justice in

0:21:26 > 0:21:30The Hague for the first time since the body was founded in 1946. The

0:21:30 > 0:21:35candidacy of the UK judge said Christopher Green was withdrawn

0:21:35 > 0:21:39after voting was deadlocked. His pace will be taken by a judge from

0:21:39 > 0:21:44India.

0:21:44 > 0:21:46The United States has designated North Korea a state

0:21:46 > 0:21:48sponsor of terrorism, which allows the Americans to impose

0:21:48 > 0:21:49additional sanctions and penalties.

0:21:49 > 0:21:52Donald Trump said the move "should have happened years ago".

0:21:52 > 0:21:54It follows North Korea's continued efforts to pursue a nuclear weapons

0:21:54 > 0:21:56programme in defiance of UN sanctions.

0:21:56 > 0:21:59Our North America editor, Jon Sopel, is at the White House.

0:21:59 > 0:22:04What is your view on how significant this is?I think it is significant.

0:22:04 > 0:22:09I think this should be seen as part of Donald Trump's effort to give

0:22:09 > 0:22:14maximum pressure on North Korea to get it to fall into line. Maybe the

0:22:14 > 0:22:18biggest threat will not be unsanctioned and posed by the United

0:22:18 > 0:22:22States, but in the actions of third party countries who made trade with

0:22:22 > 0:22:26the US and North Korea, who may feel they will face the wrath of America

0:22:26 > 0:22:31if they continue to trade with North Korea. The US Secretary of State was

0:22:31 > 0:22:35talking today about how some of those countries are having an effect

0:22:35 > 0:22:40on North Korea, where fuel supplies may be falling short and revenue

0:22:40 > 0:22:43streams may be affected. North Korea state newspaper yesterday talked

0:22:43 > 0:22:54about Donald Trump again being an old lunatic who is spouting rubbish.

0:22:54 > 0:22:56It is two months since Donald Trump talked about little rocket man,

0:22:56 > 0:22:59about US weapons being locked and loaded and fury raining down, and

0:22:59 > 0:23:03there has not been a ballistic missile test since then. It may be

0:23:03 > 0:23:07pure coincidence, or it may be the noisy diplomacy from America, and

0:23:07 > 0:23:12the more quiet diplomacy from China is having an effect.Many thanks.

0:23:12 > 0:23:15Jon Sopel with the latest

0:23:15 > 0:23:18thoughts at the White House for us.

0:23:18 > 0:23:20The Chancellor of the Exchequer Philip Hammond will deliver his

0:23:20 > 0:23:23Budget on Wednesday, and one of the main challenges he's

0:23:23 > 0:23:24set himself is to boost Britain's productivity -

0:23:24 > 0:23:27that's the amount people generate per hour of work.

0:23:27 > 0:23:29Low productivity is a drag on the wider economy -

0:23:29 > 0:23:31and ministers have now outlined plans to spend £4 billion

0:23:31 > 0:23:34on research and development and on regional investment to boost

0:23:34 > 0:23:41growth, as our business editor Simon Jack reports.

0:23:41 > 0:23:43The first industrial revolution saw the amount businesses

0:23:43 > 0:23:46could produce rocket, using machines that did

0:23:46 > 0:23:49the work of thousands.

0:23:49 > 0:23:52It was a leap in productivity that in recent years

0:23:52 > 0:23:54has slowed to a crawl, and that matters.

0:23:54 > 0:23:57If you can increase productivity, you can pay workers more,

0:23:57 > 0:24:01they feel better off, and crucially they pay more tax.

0:24:01 > 0:24:04Otherwise none of those good things happen which is why the biggest

0:24:04 > 0:24:08challenge for the Chancellor this week is to persuade businesses

0:24:08 > 0:24:12to invest in the machines and the skills of the future.

0:24:12 > 0:24:14In order to improve it, the Government outlined plans today

0:24:14 > 0:24:18to spend £2.3 billion on research and development, with a further

0:24:18 > 0:24:23£1.7 billion to improve links between cities,

0:24:23 > 0:24:28hoping improved connectivity will drive greater productivity.

0:24:28 > 0:24:31A new revolution is at hand, being driven by technology

0:24:31 > 0:24:35companies like Google, who today opened a digital

0:24:35 > 0:24:38garage in Manchester, a drop-in centre for those looking

0:24:38 > 0:24:40for digital skills.

0:24:40 > 0:24:43When you look at economies that are online, relative to those who are

0:24:43 > 0:24:46not, there is productivity boost to the businesses.

0:24:46 > 0:24:49There is a substantial untapped opportunity to go online.

0:24:49 > 0:24:53Still the majority of commerce and advertising is not online and yet

0:24:53 > 0:24:58the reach you can have when you're online is quite profound.

0:24:58 > 0:25:02Retraining workers costs government money, money they get from tax,

0:25:02 > 0:25:07tax that Google has been accused of legitimately avoiding.

0:25:07 > 0:25:09The governments make the rules and we apply those rules,

0:25:09 > 0:25:12and that's what we are doing.

0:25:12 > 0:25:18We are very much of the view that being responsible citizens

0:25:18 > 0:25:27within every jurisdiction is the way we conduct ourselves.

0:25:27 > 0:25:30Not only is the UK less productive than Germany, France and Italy,

0:25:30 > 0:25:33the north of England is less productive than the south,

0:25:33 > 0:25:36a gap that needs closing according to the Mayor of Greater Manchester.

0:25:36 > 0:25:40I think the single biggest thing holding the north of England back

0:25:40 > 0:25:43and giving us a productivity challenge is our transport

0:25:43 > 0:25:48infrastructure or the poor quality of it because we haven't had

0:25:48 > 0:25:52the investment over decades in road and rail and consequently we see

0:25:52 > 0:25:56more and more congestion, people arriving late for work.

0:25:56 > 0:26:01This is a real problem.

0:26:01 > 0:26:04These investments in new technology are welcome but won't spare

0:26:04 > 0:26:07the Chancellor a productivity downgrade by the Budget watchdog

0:26:07 > 0:26:09on Wednesday that will tighten the squeeze on the public

0:26:09 > 0:26:11finances even further.

0:26:11 > 0:26:19Simon Jack, BBC News, Manchester.

0:26:19 > 0:26:22The killer Charles Manson - who organised a series of murders

0:26:22 > 0:26:24in Southern California, by his group of young followers -

0:26:24 > 0:26:26has died at the age of 83.

0:26:26 > 0:26:28Manson had been in prison in California for more

0:26:28 > 0:26:29than four decades.

0:26:29 > 0:26:32In 1969 his cult - known as the Manson family -

0:26:32 > 0:26:34targeted several people including the Hollywood actress Sharon Tate.

0:26:34 > 0:26:39Our correspondent David Willis reports from Los Angeles.

0:26:39 > 0:26:43Once described as a metaphor for evil, Charles Manson took

0:26:43 > 0:26:46the trappings of the '60s hippie subculture and reframed them

0:26:46 > 0:26:50as tools of mass murder.

0:26:50 > 0:26:56A charismatic criminal who set up camp at this sprawling branch

0:26:56 > 0:27:04in the Californian desert, he attracted people who shared his

0:27:04 > 0:27:13passion for sex and drugs.

0:27:13 > 0:27:15Young, mainly middle-class women who bought in to

0:27:15 > 0:27:18Manson's delusional claims that he was the reincarnation of Christ.

0:27:18 > 0:27:20Around 100 of them in total, they became known

0:27:20 > 0:27:21as the Manson Family.

0:27:21 > 0:27:23In the summer of 1969, Charles Manson assembled some

0:27:23 > 0:27:26of his most ardent followers and sent them on a killing

0:27:26 > 0:27:29spree that horrified and mesmerised America,

0:27:29 > 0:27:34in roughly equal measure.

0:27:34 > 0:27:36The most notable killings occurring at a house in this canyon,

0:27:36 > 0:27:43which belonged at the time to the film director Roman Polanski.

0:27:43 > 0:27:46Among the victims, Polanski's wife, the Hollywood actress Sharon Tate,

0:27:46 > 0:27:49who was pregnant at the time.

0:27:49 > 0:27:53Manson had convinced his followers the world was on the brink

0:27:53 > 0:27:55of a global race war that he called helter-skelter.

0:27:55 > 0:27:57Murder?

0:27:57 > 0:27:58There is no murder.

0:27:58 > 0:27:59There was a murder of Sharon Tate.

0:27:59 > 0:28:01There's no murder in a holy war, man.

0:28:01 > 0:28:03It had nothing to do with...

0:28:03 > 0:28:04Was it a holy war?

0:28:04 > 0:28:05Was Sharon Tate's murder a holy war?

0:28:05 > 0:28:07The whole thing is a holy war.

0:28:07 > 0:28:09Manson and his followers were arrested not for

0:28:09 > 0:28:12murder but for car theft.

0:28:12 > 0:28:15It wasn't until one of the so-called Family boasted of the killings

0:28:15 > 0:28:18that they were charged and brought to trial.

0:28:18 > 0:28:21I once described Charlie Manson as evil incarnate.

0:28:21 > 0:28:24I mean, he was a man who had absolutely no conscience.

0:28:24 > 0:28:28He wreaked havoc.

0:28:28 > 0:28:31He had seven people at least killed and never showed any remorse.

0:28:31 > 0:28:34These were really gruesome killings.

0:28:34 > 0:28:37Charles Manson and four others were convicted in 1971.

0:28:37 > 0:28:43He applied for parole time and time again,

0:28:43 > 0:28:46only to die a prisoner, a messianic figure who shattered

0:28:46 > 0:28:48the generation of peace and love of the 1960s

0:28:48 > 0:28:50with diabolical violence.

0:28:50 > 0:28:56David Willis, BBC News, Los Angeles.

0:28:56 > 0:28:59Sportsmen and women have been paying tribute to the former Wimbledon

0:28:59 > 0:29:09champion, Jana Novotna, who has died at the age of 49.

0:29:12 > 0:29:15She won the singles title in 1998 - five years after being consoled

0:29:15 > 0:29:18by the Duchess of Kent - after losing to Steffi Graf

0:29:18 > 0:29:19in her first Wimbledon final.

0:29:19 > 0:29:22The All-England Club has described the Czech player as a "true champion

0:29:22 > 0:29:23in all senses of the word".

0:29:23 > 0:29:26The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh have been celebrating 70 years

0:29:26 > 0:29:28of marriage with a family dinner at Windsor Castle.

0:29:28 > 0:29:31The Queen is the first British sovereign to celebrate a platinum

0:29:31 > 0:29:32wedding anniversary.

0:29:32 > 0:29:35At Westminster Abbey - where the wedding took place in 1947 -

0:29:35 > 0:29:38there was a special three-hour peal of bells to mark the day,

0:29:38 > 0:29:43as our royal correspondent Nicholas Witchell reports.

0:29:43 > 0:29:46Ringing out from Westminster Abbey, a peal of bells to mark

0:29:46 > 0:29:51a 70th wedding anniversary.

0:29:51 > 0:29:54For any girl her wedding day is the day of her life.

0:29:54 > 0:29:57It was to the Abbey on this day in 1947, that the then

0:29:57 > 0:29:59Princess Elizabeth came for her wedding

0:29:59 > 0:30:01to Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten.

0:30:01 > 0:30:08Now the solemn service begins.

0:30:08 > 0:30:11I Elizabeth Alexandra Mary.

0:30:11 > 0:30:12Take thee Philip.

0:30:12 > 0:30:14Take thee Philip.

0:30:14 > 0:30:15To my wedded husband.

0:30:15 > 0:30:19To my wedded husband.

0:30:24 > 0:30:27It was the start of a marriage which has endured for 70 years

0:30:27 > 0:30:31and which, from the moment Elizabeth came to the throne in 1952,

0:30:31 > 0:30:36has underpinned the success and stability of her reign as Queen.

0:30:36 > 0:30:39Those who know them have no doubt that the bride and groom who signed

0:30:39 > 0:30:42the marriage register that day at the Abbey, were deeply

0:30:42 > 0:30:44committed to each other.

0:30:44 > 0:30:47Obviously they were very much in love, it is early love as far

0:30:47 > 0:30:51as I can understand it, so it is a love match essentially.

0:30:51 > 0:30:54It is a great love story.

0:30:54 > 0:30:58A deeply loyal sense of duty, which is bolstered and encouraged

0:30:58 > 0:31:02and uplifted by their faith.

0:31:02 > 0:31:05The early years of the Queen's reign were not without

0:31:05 > 0:31:07difficulty for the Duke.

0:31:07 > 0:31:10He felt he had no clear purpose but he adapted to the role

0:31:10 > 0:31:13of consort to the Monarch, and for decade after decade

0:31:13 > 0:31:17they toured the world and fulfilled official duties together.

0:31:17 > 0:31:20A couple so much of whose lives have been public,

0:31:20 > 0:31:23sustained by the private bond between them which remains strong

0:31:23 > 0:31:27and deep, as the latest photographs, issued to mark their platinum

0:31:27 > 0:31:31wedding anniversary, make clear.

0:31:31 > 0:31:34Tonight their 70 years together have been celebrated at a private party

0:31:34 > 0:31:37at Windsor Castle.

0:31:37 > 0:31:41Nicholas Witchell, BBC News.

0:31:41 > 0:31:50Newsnight is coming up on BBC Two.

0:31:50 > 0:31:54Tonight, what next for Germany, Europe and Brexit after Angela

0:31:54 > 0:32:00Merkel's government runs aground both Mac
