:00:00. > :00:07.to the Charlottesville attack, saying he does condemn

:00:08. > :00:17.A man's been charged with murder after a car was driven

:00:18. > :00:19.into anti-racism protestors, killing one woman and

:00:20. > :00:25.One day on from the violence surrounding the white

:00:26. > :00:26.nationalist rally - the governor of Virginia

:00:27. > :00:39.The political rhetoric in this country has bred bigotry and hatred.

:00:40. > :00:41.We'll be live in Washington with the latest reaction.

:00:42. > :00:46.A joint pledge from the Trade Secretary and the Chancellor -

:00:47. > :00:51.a Brexit transition period will not be a back door to staying in the EU.

:00:52. > :00:54.Painful memories of the violence that surrounded the partition

:00:55. > :00:59.of India and Pakistan - 70 years ago.

:01:00. > :01:01.And two late medals mean Britain's athletes reach their target

:01:02. > :01:25.The White House has defended President Trump's

:01:26. > :01:27.response to the violence in Charlottesville Virginia -

:01:28. > :01:29.after the biggest gathering of white nationalist groups

:01:30. > :01:35.A 20-year old man has now been charged with murder after a car

:01:36. > :01:38.was driven into a woman who was part of a demonstration against

:01:39. > :01:44.After President Trump spoke of violence 'on many sides' -

:01:45. > :01:47.a spokesman clarified today that his condemnation included white

:01:48. > :02:02.Our correspondent Laura Bicker sent this report from Charlottesville.

:02:03. > :02:08.After a violent day of division, Charlottesville has come together to

:02:09. > :02:15.pray, to show that this city condemns the hate brought here by

:02:16. > :02:20.neo-Nazis and white supremacists. The Virginia governor went from roll

:02:21. > :02:24.to roll, hugging worshippers in this Baptist Church, promising to keep

:02:25. > :02:30.policy -- Michael politics out of the pulpit but there was a message

:02:31. > :02:40.you felt he had to give. The political rhetoric in this country

:02:41. > :02:44.today has bred bigotry. Hundreds of white supremacists gathered in the

:02:45. > :02:48.city yesterday for a planned rally. Rolling broke out as far right

:02:49. > :02:52.groups including the Ku Klux Klan were challenged by civil rights

:02:53. > :03:00.activist. The police dispersed the crowd but the day would not end

:03:01. > :03:05.peacefully. A car, at speed, rammed into protesters. The crash killed

:03:06. > :03:10.32-year-old Heather Hier who had fought racism all her life. Police

:03:11. > :03:14.have charged 20-year-old James feels with second-degree murder. One of

:03:15. > :03:21.the organisers of the far right rally try to hold a press conference

:03:22. > :03:27.but he was heckled, almost. I would like to condemn any of the violence

:03:28. > :03:34.that yesterday. I disavow anything that led to folks getting hurt.

:03:35. > :03:40.Shame! Shame! As the crowd shouted him down, he tried to leave. But

:03:41. > :03:46.instead he was forced to flee. Police moved in to keep the

:03:47. > :03:50.protesters back. These people felt that bigotry has no place in the

:03:51. > :03:55.streets of Charlottesville, but this could be any town, any city across

:03:56. > :04:00.America. An example of the simmering racial tension and that has become

:04:01. > :04:04.heightened under President Trump. The President stopped short of

:04:05. > :04:09.explicitly condemning these violent scenes and some fear that having

:04:10. > :04:12.Donald Trump in the White House has emboldened white supremacists. It is

:04:13. > :04:16.important for us to call these people what they are, white

:04:17. > :04:20.supremacist. I don't understand why that is difficult. That is what they

:04:21. > :04:25.are. They are not hiding this behind the statue, they did not come here

:04:26. > :04:32.because of a statue, they came here to fulfil the promise of President

:04:33. > :04:35.Trump and take their country back. Calm has been restored for now,

:04:36. > :04:38.giving the city time to remember those who lost their lives while

:04:39. > :04:39.challenging hate and trying to keep the peace. Laura Bicker,

:04:40. > :04:41.Charlottesville. Jon Sopel our North America Editor

:04:42. > :04:50.is in Washington... What do you make of the political

:04:51. > :04:55.reaction to all of this not least from President Trump himself? It is

:04:56. > :04:58.interesting. All throughout the presidential election campaign

:04:59. > :05:02.Donald Trump as fears in his criticism of Hillary Clinton and

:05:03. > :05:06.Barack Obama for not saying the word radical Islamic terrorism after a

:05:07. > :05:09.terrorist attack in Europe or in the USA and is argument was unless you

:05:10. > :05:14.identified it you cannot solve the problem. On this he has chosen not

:05:15. > :05:17.to say those words and that has brought condemnation across the

:05:18. > :05:21.political spectrum and across the Republican party. The only voice I

:05:22. > :05:26.have heard in support of what he said was from the former head of the

:05:27. > :05:31.Ku Klux Klan. Today we have had some clarification, a banker Trump has

:05:32. > :05:34.tweeted, there should be no place in society for racism, white supremacy

:05:35. > :05:39.or neo-Nazis and the White House itself issued a statement saying of

:05:40. > :05:50.course the President meant to include white supremacist, the KKK

:05:51. > :05:53.and neo-Nazis. It is hard to avoid the conclusion that Donald Trump did

:05:54. > :05:55.not say those words when he is so good as social media himself, that

:05:56. > :05:58.he is choosing not to disavow the far right which played such a big

:05:59. > :05:58.part in his election victory. Thank you.

:05:59. > :06:00.After weeks of public divisions between members

:06:01. > :06:02.of the Cabinet over Brexit, the Chancellor Philip Hammond

:06:03. > :06:05.and the International Trade Secretary Liam Fox have made a joint

:06:06. > :06:07.pledge, saying that a transition period will not be a back door

:06:08. > :06:11.The two have previously put forward opposing views on Brexit.

:06:12. > :06:16.Here's our Political Correspondent Ben Wright.

:06:17. > :06:21.He's the Brexit-loving Trade Secretary itching to do deals,

:06:22. > :06:23.but Liam Fox, seen here in the US last month, has been

:06:24. > :06:31.in a dispute with the man in charge of the economy,

:06:32. > :06:33.Philip Hammond, over what should happen after Britain leaves

:06:34. > :06:39.Writing a joint piece in the Sunday Telegraph,

:06:40. > :06:42.they say there must not be a cliff edge break when Britain leaves

:06:43. > :06:46.They will seek a time-limited transition period with the EU -

:06:47. > :06:52.But during this period, Britain will leave the EU single

:06:53. > :06:57.market and the customs union - a win for Mr Fox.

:06:58. > :07:00.I think it is actually very encouraging because over the last

:07:01. > :07:03.three or four weeks we have seen conflicting signals sent out

:07:04. > :07:06.by various numbers of the Cabinet, and now it does look as if

:07:07. > :07:08.someone has said to Mr Fox and Mr Hammond,

:07:09. > :07:12.The customs union sets EU-wide import tariffs.

:07:13. > :07:18.The single market allows free trade and the movement of people.

:07:19. > :07:21.Ministers say the UK can leave both while still giving business

:07:22. > :07:25.confidence during our departure from the EU.

:07:26. > :07:28.It sounds worryingly to me as if the price Philip Hammond has

:07:29. > :07:31.had to pay for a transitional arrangement has been to sign up

:07:32. > :07:34.to us leaving the single market and the customs union.

:07:35. > :07:36.I think that is a dreadful mistake for the future

:07:37. > :07:42.of our economy, for jobs, and prosperity in Britain.

:07:43. > :07:45.It's in Brussels all this will have to be hammered out.

:07:46. > :07:48.The EU insists progress must be made on sorting out the terms

:07:49. > :07:50.of the divorce before the UK's future relationship

:07:51. > :07:55.And one issue the EU wants clarity on is how the border

:07:56. > :07:57.between Northern Ireland and the Republic

:07:58. > :08:02.This week the government will publish its formal

:08:03. > :08:04.position paper on the issue, expected to include

:08:05. > :08:06.plans to give Irish citizens the right to move

:08:07. > :08:13.This week, ministers will also set out their thinking on how

:08:14. > :08:15.a new customs arrangement with the EU could work,

:08:16. > :08:17.and more position papers will follow in a clear effort

:08:18. > :08:19.to scotch criticism that ministers are divided

:08:20. > :08:27.It is also intended to put pressure on Brussels

:08:28. > :08:30.to crack on with talking about Britain's future

:08:31. > :08:32.relationship with the EU sooner rather than later.

:08:33. > :08:38.Kenya's defeated opposition leader, Raila Odinga,

:08:39. > :08:40.has urged his supporters to boycott work tomorrow following

:08:41. > :08:42.the disputed results of the presidential election.

:08:43. > :08:44.Mr Odinga made his first appearance in public since the ballot

:08:45. > :08:50.are said to have been killed since the result was declared -

:08:51. > :09:00.international observers have described the poll as free and fair.

:09:01. > :09:02.Learner drivers are to be allowed onto motorways in England,

:09:03. > :09:05.Scotland and Wales for the first time next year.

:09:06. > :09:07.They'll need to be accompanied by an approved instructor

:09:08. > :09:11.The government hopes the change of rules will mean drivers will be

:09:12. > :09:13.better prepared to drive on motorways on their own,

:09:14. > :09:22.They can be daunting for young motorists.

:09:23. > :09:25.Driving at speed, surrounded by bigger vehicles.

:09:26. > :09:31.From next year, learners will get motorway lessons.

:09:32. > :09:34.Sean Curley passed his driving test six weeks ago.

:09:35. > :09:42.It took him a further two weeks to brave a motorway on his own.

:09:43. > :09:47.You're going to have to move over to the right,

:09:48. > :09:50.and there's cars going 70 miles an hour, sometimes faster,

:09:51. > :09:51.and you've not experienced anything like it.

:09:52. > :09:56.Young drivers are much more likely to crash than older motorists.

:09:57. > :10:00.1.5% of UK licence holders are under 19, but that age group is involved

:10:01. > :10:09.In general, young drivers are seven times more likely

:10:10. > :10:15.If you're a motorist like me, I'd much rather have somebody next

:10:16. > :10:18.to me on a motorway who's been taught how to drive on a motorway

:10:19. > :10:21.than somebody who's just left the test centre and driven straight

:10:22. > :10:23.down onto a motorway for the first time.

:10:24. > :10:25.I think this is something that will mean a safer

:10:26. > :10:28.There will be strict rules for learner drivers on motorways.

:10:29. > :10:31.They will have to have an approved driving instructor with them,

:10:32. > :10:34.and they must be in a dual controlled car, where the instructor

:10:35. > :10:37.Some road safety groups believe the motorway lesson

:10:38. > :10:39.should be compulsory, but only once you've

:10:40. > :10:44.There is, though, widespread support for this change to the rules.

:10:45. > :10:50.This is all about making it a controlled environment,

:10:51. > :10:53.making sure that nothing can go wrong, or if anything does go wrong,

:10:54. > :10:56.there is a fully qualified and fully trained professional next to them

:10:57. > :10:58.that can help guide them through those situations.

:10:59. > :11:01.Not the type of thing I would maybe recommend for

:11:02. > :11:15.It's additional training to make new motorists drive

:11:16. > :11:27.After the final day of the World Athletics Championships -

:11:28. > :11:30.so with news of that and all the sport -

:12:03. > :12:05.Tonight, she was in the 5,000 metre final -

:12:12. > :12:30.Well, that was always going to be a big ask for Laura and Eilish,

:14:20. > :14:21.We've all dreamt of this, since we came to the sport

:14:22. > :14:25.we want to be the best at and we are and it's just very

:14:29. > :14:32.Watching on, the women's sprint relay team whose silver also helped

:14:35. > :14:36.The head of British Athletics says the sport has new-found belief.

:14:37. > :14:39.The real issue is have we got the underlying talent to take

:14:40. > :14:41.us into the next age of British athletics?

:14:42. > :14:47.I think what people have seen this week is we absolutely have.

:14:48. > :14:49.Mo Farah has provided many enduring images.

:14:50. > :14:51.This morning no exception, despite a silver in his

:15:08. > :15:10.and something is done, then why can't it be done?

:15:11. > :15:12.Why do we keep bringing year after year in the headlines?

:15:40. > :15:48.denied cruelly once again, this time through injury.

:15:49. > :15:50.I remember after losing the 100 metres someone said

:15:51. > :15:52.to me, don't worry, Muhammad Ali lost his last fight

:15:56. > :16:05.This has looked and felt like London 2012 and as with the Olympics

:16:06. > :16:07.here five years ago, there have been sell-out crowds,

:16:08. > :16:10.proof once again that when it comes to major sports events British

:16:11. > :16:12.enthusiasm remains undimmed and at a time when athletics
