Belgian prosecutors charge a man with terrorist murder

:00:00.:00:00.

It's being reported he's one of the suspects seen at the city's

:00:07.:00:11.

airport just before the bombs there went off.

:00:12.:00:18.

Teachers jeer the Education Secretary as she defends plans

:00:19.:00:25.

to turn every state school in England into an academy.

:00:26.:00:30.

250 business leaders say they're backing a British exit

:00:31.:00:33.

In football, England fight back to draw with the world

:00:34.:00:52.

England fight back for a dramatic victory over world champions

:00:53.:00:55.

Germany. Belgian prosecutors have charged

:00:56.:01:02.

a man over Tuesday's bomb attacks in Brussels that

:01:03.:01:07.

left 31 people dead. The suspect, named only as Faisal C,

:01:08.:01:11.

is accused of terrorist murder. Belgian media are reporting it's one

:01:12.:01:15.

of the three men who were seen on CCTV at Brussels airport just

:01:16.:01:20.

before the bombs there went off. From Brussels, Damian

:01:21.:01:25.

Grammaticus reports. This is now a watchful country -

:01:26.:01:29.

on alert, all the time, everywhere. Brussels' battered airport may not

:01:30.:01:34.

open until next week. Teams are checking the building

:01:35.:01:39.

is safe to use again. But the police investigations appear

:01:40.:01:45.

to be making progress. The man who was shot in the legs

:01:46.:01:48.

at a tram stop yesterday, suspected of carrying explosives,

:01:49.:01:52.

has been named as Abdulrahman A. He was dragged away by police

:01:53.:01:56.

and is still being questioned. From the dozen men arrested in raids

:01:57.:02:02.

in the last few days, Belgian prosecutors

:02:03.:02:04.

give only first names. They have identified one

:02:05.:02:09.

of them as Faisal C, We know that Faisal C

:02:10.:02:16.

was arrested, strangely, right here outside the offices

:02:17.:02:19.

of the federal prosecutor on Thursday evening -

:02:20.:02:22.

so, two days after the attacks. What he was doing

:02:23.:02:24.

here, we don't know. Nor is it clear what part

:02:25.:02:37.

prosecutors believe Faisal C played. But could he be the man

:02:38.:02:39.

in the white jacket - the third airport

:02:40.:02:42.

attacker, who ran away? Painstakingly, the evidence

:02:43.:02:44.

is being assembled to unravel French police are helping,

:02:45.:02:46.

and so is the FBI, said Earlier this week I called

:02:47.:02:50.

the Prime Minister of Belgium and offered him our full

:02:51.:02:55.

array of support in bringing to justice any terrorists involved

:02:56.:02:57.

in planning or aiding this attack on innocent men,

:02:58.:03:01.

women and children. Belgium is a close ally and friend

:03:02.:03:04.

of the United States, and when it comes to our friends,

:03:05.:03:07.

America has their back - especially as we fight

:03:08.:03:11.

the scourge of terrorism. Belgium's security services

:03:12.:03:13.

are stretched by the bomb So the Government has asked people

:03:14.:03:17.

not to turn out for a planned peace march tomorrow, saying there was not

:03:18.:03:24.

the manpower to protect it. There are important

:03:25.:03:27.

inquiries going on. For these inquiries,

:03:28.:03:31.

we need a lot of police capacity And it is our main priority to let

:03:32.:03:34.

the police in the best circumstances possible

:03:35.:03:43.

do these inquiries. And the organisers

:03:44.:03:47.

say they have now postponed as a demonstration that Brussels

:03:48.:03:50.

will not be cowed by fear because people's safety

:03:51.:03:57.

is a top priority. Does it look like investigators

:03:58.:03:59.

are making progress? I think it does. Significant today

:04:00.:04:14.

were those announcements of charges brought against two new individuals,

:04:15.:04:18.

particularly that man Faisal C. We know that investigators are now

:04:19.:04:24.

conducting DNA tests on the material they found at the airport to try to

:04:25.:04:28.

identify whether he was the man in white, the man who left that bomb

:04:29.:04:31.

there. That would be a very significant advance if they confirm

:04:32.:04:37.

they have him in custody too. Yes, they're moving to wrap up this

:04:38.:04:41.

organisation. We are also hearing more about some of the victims and

:04:42.:04:47.

some more of their stories. Two to give you briefly, a German lady died

:04:48.:04:54.

on the way to her honeymoon. Her husband survived at the airport. One

:04:55.:04:58.

more, an American, 26-year-old student, her family today released a

:04:59.:05:02.

note that she put on Facebook after the Paris attacks saying they wanted

:05:03.:05:06.

this message of tolerance to go out. It was a note saying, do not spread

:05:07.:05:12.

anti-Muslim propaganda, she said, because that could only benefit

:05:13.:05:17.

Isis. She died in the bombing at the airport too.

:05:18.:05:17.

Thank you very much. The Education Secretary,

:05:18.:05:21.

Nicky Morgan, has been heckled by teachers as she defended

:05:22.:05:23.

the Government's plans to turn all state schools

:05:24.:05:25.

in England into academies. She said removing around

:05:26.:05:29.

16,000 schools from local authority control would give

:05:30.:05:31.

teachers more power. Nicky Morgan was speaking

:05:32.:05:35.

at the conference of From there, our education editor,

:05:36.:05:39.

Branwen Jeffreys reports. Michelle and Claire -

:05:40.:05:42.

two of the teachers about to listen to Nicky Morgan, so what would

:05:43.:05:46.

they hear from the first Conservative Education Secretary

:05:47.:05:49.

to speak here in almost 20 years? A message that was blunt

:05:50.:05:52.

and provocative - a call None of us can or should

:05:53.:05:55.

want to deny that the education system is in much better shape

:05:56.:06:03.

than it was years ago. And to stop fighting and start

:06:04.:06:08.

supporting academy plans. I stand before you today

:06:09.:06:15.

to ask you to step up, to decide to be a part

:06:16.:06:17.

of the exciting changes happening in the education system and to seize

:06:18.:06:22.

all the opportunities that Her uncompromising message

:06:23.:06:25.

on academies was heard in near stony There were jeers and shouts

:06:26.:06:30.

when she told them that teachers needed to speak up

:06:31.:06:39.

for their profession. Not everyone heckled,

:06:40.:06:41.

even if they disagreed, so what did Michelle

:06:42.:06:43.

and Claire make of it? We appreciate that she was brave

:06:44.:06:46.

enough to come to conference. I don't think her message was one

:06:47.:06:48.

that should have kind of been said. If Nicky is intent on raising

:06:49.:06:54.

standards, she needs to listen to people who are at the chalk face,

:06:55.:06:57.

that's how you raise standards. Their union leader

:06:58.:07:00.

not impressed either. The Government is saying

:07:01.:07:06.

essentially saying to teachers, "You've got to get on board now,

:07:07.:07:10.

rather than spend the next four The Government should reconsider

:07:11.:07:13.

what it is that the academisation And if it's about raising standards,

:07:14.:07:17.

we've got examples now where standards haven't been

:07:18.:07:25.

raised by academisation. That should give them

:07:26.:07:26.

pause for thought. And there was a vote today

:07:27.:07:30.

by the other big union, the NUT, There was a sweetener for teachers -

:07:31.:07:36.

a promise from Nicky Morgan But Labour says ministers would be

:07:37.:07:43.

foolish to ignore teachers' concerns - concerns shared by some

to quit the EU have struggled to get high-profile business leaders

:08:26.:08:28.

to support their cause. The new Business Council

as well as the entrepreneur and investor Luke Johnson

Chambers of Commerce for speaking out

:08:54.:08:55.

against EU membership, in breach of the organisation's

neutrality on the subject. We've got a list of supporters

:08:59.:09:02.

and business champions, who are some of the top business

:09:03.:09:04.

people and business owners, people who created their own businesses,

actually signing up to Vote Leave. The Britain Stronger In campaign

:09:11.:09:13.

is quick to say that all of those on this council

:09:14.:09:15.

are there in a personal capacity and some of their companies

:09:16.:09:18.

may not feel the same way. The list also did not have

:09:19.:09:23.

any current chief executives Last month, 36 Ftse 100 bosses

signed a letter They included Carolyn McCall

:09:28.:09:32.

from easyJet, Sebastian James from Dixons Carphone,

:09:33.:09:40.

and Sir Roger Carr from BAE Systems. If you look at virtually

:09:41.:09:44.

all the opinion polls carried out in the last several months,

:09:45.:09:46.

the overwhelming majority show business wanting to stay

:09:47.:09:50.

in the European Union, from the CBI to the British Chambers

:09:51.:09:55.

of Commerce, to the poll of polls, 18 different polls, showing eight

of business leaders. But come June 23rd,

they will have only one vote each, Meanwhile, the Health Secretary,

:10:17.:10:19.

Jeremy Hunt, is setting out why he believes leaving

:10:20.:10:26.

the European Union could threaten Our political correspondent

:10:27.:10:28.

Chris Mason is here. Chris, what exactly

:10:29.:10:32.

is Mr Hunt saying? This is an article he has written in

:10:33.:10:40.

The Observer tomorrow morning. He is picking up an argument that indulges

:10:41.:10:44.

in a spot of recycling, it's a message we heard a year ago during

:10:45.:10:46.

the general election campaign. The message then was that in order to

:10:47.:10:50.

have a strong NHS you need a strong economy. Effectively he is extending

:10:51.:10:53.

that sentence and claiming that in order to ensure you have a strong

:10:54.:10:56.

economy, we should stay in the EU. He is picking up on the claim that

:10:57.:11:00.

some have made and it's contestable, that the economy would take a hit if

:11:01.:11:04.

it were to leave the EU. He also picked up on the point about the

:11:05.:11:07.

workforce of the NHS and those in social care about 100,000 from other

:11:08.:11:12.

EU countries, and raises questions about their employability if we were

:11:13.:11:15.

to leave. Again that's contested by opponents. Those arguing to leave

:11:16.:11:20.

the EU say it is yet more scaremongering. Plenty of Ministers

:11:21.:11:22.

coming out in the next couple of days I think trying to broaden the

:11:23.:11:25.

argument as they set out what they claim is their case for staying in.

:11:26.:11:31.

Commemorations are being held in Ireland to mark the 100th

:12:22.:12:30.

The rebellion in 1916 failed to overthrow British rule

:12:31.:12:35.

but it is seen as a key moment in the eventual creation

:12:36.:12:38.

Our Ireland Correspondent Chris Buckler reports.

:12:39.:12:43.

The Easter Rising was seen by many as the dawn of change in Ireland,

:12:44.:12:47.

the moment when this country began a journey that saw it emerge

:12:48.:12:54.

from British rule and become a republic.

:12:55.:12:58.

Today, a wreath was laid in Dublin's Garden of Remembrance,

:12:59.:13:05.

honouring those who died in the fight

:13:06.:13:07.

But even commemoration can be controversial.

:13:08.:13:15.

At Glasnevin Cemetery, a wall has been built

:13:16.:13:23.

that will list the names of everyone who died in the rising -

:13:24.:13:26.

civilians, British soldiers and Irish volunteers.

:13:27.:13:27.

Her father tunnelled his way from the GPO...

:13:28.:13:29.

There are some families who feel the names of those

:13:30.:13:32.

who took part in the rebellion should be separated

:13:33.:13:34.

You don't forget, even in an ordinary family.

:13:35.:13:41.

People are upset by the fact that somebody

:13:42.:13:43.

who was an idealistic person should be commemorated on a wall

:13:44.:13:45.

along with representatives of the oppressor.

:13:46.:13:53.

That's an indication that the bloodshed has not been forgotten,

:13:54.:13:56.

nor the execution of the rising's leaders at Kilmainham Gaol

:13:57.:14:00.

that so soured Anglo-Irish relationships.

:14:01.:14:04.

The Queen's visit to Ireland five years ago cemented solidarity.

:14:05.:14:17.

But on this shared island, history can divide,

:14:18.:14:20.

and some senior politicians from Northern Ireland have made clear

:14:21.:14:23.

that they are not prepared to attend commemorations here.

:14:24.:14:26.

I think it is an issue of commemoration

:14:27.:14:28.

I have particular difficulties in the context

:14:29.:14:32.

we've just seen the murder of a prison officer,

:14:33.:14:34.

and the people who killed him would claim the same rights

:14:35.:14:36.

as the people who fought on the streets

:14:37.:14:38.

Security has been increased north of the Irish border because of fears

:14:39.:14:48.

that dissident republicans intended to mark the centenary with violence.

:14:49.:14:51.

But relatives of those who rebelled have condemned that rising threat.

:14:52.:14:56.

They don't represent anybody, and they may have their own view

:14:57.:15:01.

and, you know, their own resentments and their own hurts

:15:02.:15:03.

because of things that happened in their families,

:15:04.:15:05.

but they're not going to do a service to anybody

:15:06.:15:08.

by doing a thing like that, it's going to be very hard for them.

:15:09.:15:13.

This weekend, as this republic remembers,

:15:14.:15:18.

it is as a country that rose from conflict

:15:19.:15:21.

and is able to look to the future, as well as that past.

:15:22.:15:25.

Here's Katherine Downes with all the sport.

:15:26.:15:37.

England have beaten the world champions Germany 3-2 in Berlin.

:15:38.:15:42.

It was only a friendly but it's a promising result for Roy Hodgson's

:15:43.:15:45.

side who play their first game in the European Championship

:15:46.:15:47.

As world champions you are entitled to travel in style. Germany have

:15:48.:16:00.

taken a very different path to England. They are where Roy

:16:01.:16:04.

Hodgson's men aspire to be. Both sides were in changed colours. Yet

:16:05.:16:09.

the first half followed a familiar pattern, Germany in front, thanks to

:16:10.:16:17.

Tony Kroos. Jack Putland was at fault. He picked up an injury and it

:16:18.:16:21.

ended his night. England's concern is their defence and Gomez showed

:16:22.:16:24.

why. 2-0. At the other end, they looked far

:16:25.:16:28.

better. Harry Kane is the Premier League's top scorer. Thanks to

:16:29.:16:32.

moments like these. Just days on from the death of Johan

:16:33.:16:42.

Kruff how fitting his turn featured named after the Dutchman. Jamie

:16:43.:16:46.

Vardy's rise has been remarkable. His finishing exceptional.

:16:47.:16:54.

England weren't done yet and Dier completed a dramatic turnaround. It

:16:55.:16:57.

may have just been a friendly but look at what it meant to England.

:16:58.:17:00.

England are through to the world Twenty20 semifinals.

:17:01.:17:02.

They won their crunch match against defending

:17:03.:17:04.

Jos Buttler top scored for England with 66.

:17:05.:17:07.

Sri Lanka fell ten short of England's

:17:08.:17:10.

14th century fort, 21st century stadium. Head towards the light for

:17:11.:17:24.

English cricket's day and night of destiny in Delhi.

:17:25.:17:30.

Joe Root is England's platinum batsman. He could hit this ball

:17:31.:17:35.

anywhere, except there. 25 for him. England had simmered, Butler boiled

:17:36.:17:40.

over. He got to 50 off just 28 balls. Then more. Remember this fort

:17:41.:17:45.

outside the ground? He was aiming for it. Even spectators this

:17:46.:17:50.

distance from the ground were almost in the game as six off the last ball

:17:51.:17:56.

and England reached 171. Now for the bowling bit.

:17:57.:18:01.

Sri Lanka's most experienced batsman lasted three balls. Sri Lanka had

:18:02.:18:06.

lost four wickets, scored 15. England were rampant.

:18:07.:18:11.

Now came Matthews and there went the ball. Rashid's bowling was inviting.

:18:12.:18:19.

The feel changed. 16th over. Sri Lanka needed just 40 off the last

:18:20.:18:25.

four overs. In such circumstances you need to field brilliantly. Joe

:18:26.:18:30.

Root, 15 off the last over. Too many even for Matthews. England had held

:18:31.:18:33.

their nerve. Now breathe and prepare for a semifinal.

:18:34.:18:40.

Mo Farah was disappointed with the bronze medal he won

:18:41.:18:43.

at the World Half Marathon Championships in Cardiff.

:18:44.:18:45.

Geoffrey Kamworor from Kenya sucessfully defended his title -

:18:46.:18:47.

despite falling over on the start line.

:18:48.:18:51.

Farah produced a trademark sprint finish to take third place

:18:52.:18:53.

He said the result was a massive motivation for the Rio Olympics

:18:54.:18:58.

Rory McIlroy is through to the semifinals of the World

:18:59.:19:02.

The world number three beat American Chris Kirk four and three

:19:03.:19:09.

McIlroy, who's the defending champion in Texas, will next play

:19:10.:19:12.

Jason Day, who's just become the new world number one

:19:13.:19:15.

That's all the sport. Back to you, Ben.

:19:16.:19:20.

Thank you very much. Finally, just in case you've

:19:21.:19:26.

forgotten, the clocks go forward That's one less hour in bed,

:19:27.:19:29.

but at least summer is on its way. You can see more on all of today's

:19:30.:19:34.

stories on the BBC News Channel.
