A man has been charged with murder after a car was driven into a crowd

in the American city of Charlottesville, killing one woman

The attack followed a day of violence in the city involving

white nationalist protesters and anti-racist demonstrators.

President Trump has been criticised for failing to explicitly condemn

Late last night, a vigil for the victims of what politicians are

calling an act of domestic terror. There have been cross-party

condemnation, not just of the attack, but also be President's

response to it. It came during a day of disturbances sparked by one of

the biggest public gatherings of the far right in the United States in

decades. Brawls broke out with counterdemonstrators. And then

this... A car turned into a deadly weapon.

This was the moment the vehicle ploughed into antiracism protesters.

One woman was killed and 19 others were injured. The attack has shocked

not just Charlottesville, but the country. The car hit some people and

then it backed up so it could gain momentum so it could go faster. And

it just smashed into dozens of people. There are at least a dozen

people directly hit by the car. A 22-year-old man has now been

arrested and charged with murder. President Trump's response to the

day was a swift condemnation of what he called hatred, bigotry and

violence on many sides. But many Republicans and Democrats have

called on him to speak out explicitly against white

supremacist, in their words, to call evil by its name. There is now

growing alarm over the rise of the far right. I have a message to all

the white supremacists and the Nazis came to Charlottesville today. Our

message is plain and simple. Go home. You are not wanted in this

great Commonwealth. Shame on you. Many in the states are concerned

that the far right has been emboldened by the Trump presidency.

Yesterday's rally was attended by neo-Nazi sympathisers as well as

members of the Ku Klux Klan. I will be back and we will all be back.

What happened in Charlottesville has been a major domestic test for the

president. He's now under pressure over violence here and what the

house Democratic leader has called the shameful reality of white

supremacist in America today. Caroline Hawley, BBC News.

The UK will need a transition period to help businesses

adjust after Brexit, the Chancellor and the International

In a joint article for the Sunday Telegraph,

Philip Hammond and Liam Fox stressed any deal would not be

indefinite or a "back door" to staying in the EU.

The two men have previously put forward opposing views on Brexit.

Two senior government ministers with two very different approaches to

leaving the European Union. Liam Fox, an enthusiastic Brexiteer, and

Philip Hammond, the voice of caution in Cabinet. But now an apparent show

of unity. Reiterating that breaks it would mean leaving the single market

that allows free trade and movement of people, and leaving the customs

union, that sets EU wide import tariffs. Writing a joint peace in

the Sunday Telegraph, the two ministers say the economy needs to

stay strong through Brexit. That means businesses need to have

confidence, they say, that there will not be a cliff edge when we

leave the EU in just over 20 months' time. This is why they believed

time-limited interim period will be important to further our national

interest and give business greater certainty. But it cannot be

indefinite, they say. It cannot be a back door to staying in the EU. It

sounds worryingly to me that the price Philip Hammond has had to pay

for a transitional arrangement has been to sign up to as leaving the

single market and Customs union. I think that is a dreadful mistake for

the future of our economy, for jobs and prosperity in Britain. With this

article Liam Fox and Philip Hammond are hoping to reassure both those

concerned the government is dragging its feet on Brexit, and those

worried about the potential impact a sudden exit from the EU could have.

A united front is important if the government is to get what it wants

from negotiations with EU officials in Brussels. This week we will hear

in more detail what Brexit will look like. The government will publish

position papers setting out its plans for, firstly, the border

between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. And how goods

can continue to be sent between the UK and EU countries. Negotiations

begin again in Brussels at the end of this month. Brexit secretary

David Davis has said himself that time is of the essence. Jonathan

Blake, BBC News. In Nepal, the number of people

killed in the floods and landslides caused by the torrential rain over

the past two days has reached 49. Elephants and rafts have been sent

to rescue nearly five hundred tourists trapped in lodges

near the Chitwan National Park area. Transport networks and power

supplies are also thought to have been disrupted

in the worst affected areas. Learner drivers are to be allowed

on to motorways in England, Scotland and Wales for the first

the World Athletics Championships following on from a night of drama

in the stadium. Mo Farah missed out on gold

in his final championship race and Usain Bolt pulled up injured

in his final race. But it was glory for Britain's men's

100 metres relay team. Here's our Sports

Correspondent Andy Swiss. One night, so many emotions,

Usain Bolt's golden goodbye but these Championships have rarely

followed the script. Mitchell-Blake trying to hang on.

It's going to be tight. It's going to be gold!

As Britain's dazzling gold sank in, Bolt sank to the track,

cramp ending his career in the cruellest fashion.

COMMENTATOR: The greatest ever athlete faltering

For the hosts though it was a picture of perfection

and this morning they reflected on a breathtaking win.

I waited for the time to come up on the screen.

We've all dreamt of this since we came to the sport.

It's just very surreal and I just have to pinch myself this

In recent years, he's faced questions

about his controversial coach Alberto Salazar who was under

investigation by US anti-doping authorities and this morning,

he criticised the media for their treatment of him.

What I have achieved is through hard work and sometimes you guys get

to me at certain times, because you never write the fact.

The fact is, over the years, I have achieved through hard work and pain.

This was not the end to his career Sir Mo Farah had hoped for,

but after a night when medals finally flowed, Britain

will hope to end these Championships with more success.

Sir Mo Farah very unhappy in that press conference, saying some in the

media had tried to destroy his reputation. Sir Mo Farah now

concentrating on marathon running. As far as today is concerned, Moore

hopes of medal success with Laura Muir going in the final of the 5000

metres. Tom Bosworth in the 20 kilometre race walk. And also be 400

meter relay finals as well with Britain's men and women teams

involved in that. It's not always been an easy Championships for Great

Britain. They now have four models and their target is six. If things

go their way this evening, they might just get that. STUDIO: Andy
