0:01:45 > 0:01:47Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six.
0:01:47 > 0:01:52After 37 years in power, Robert Mugabe's reign is finally over.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55This afternoon, the 93-year-old took Zimbabwe by surprise
0:01:55 > 0:01:58when he suddenly resigned as the country's president,
0:01:58 > 0:02:02just as impeachment proceedings against him were getting under way.
0:02:02 > 0:02:03Within minutes, thousands of people poured onto
0:02:03 > 0:02:07the streets of the capital, Harare, to celebrate.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10Mr Mugabe's resignation letter was read out in parliament.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13In it, he said that the decision to go was voluntary,
0:02:13 > 0:02:17and that he had made it to allow a smooth transfer of power.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Our Zimbabwe correspondent Shingai Nyoka is in Harare,
0:02:19 > 0:02:29where there are still wild celebrations on the streets.
0:02:31 > 0:02:36Yes, it is a historic day on the streets, in cities and towns across
0:02:36 > 0:02:40Zimbabwe. I had seen tears today, I have seen joy, and frankly,
0:02:40 > 0:02:45disbelief that after 37 years in power, President Mugabe has decided
0:02:45 > 0:02:50to relinquish his grip on power. Now, we are in the middle of it
0:02:50 > 0:02:54here, next to parliament. Earlier, I was on the streets when the news of
0:02:54 > 0:02:59his resignation broke. The country had been waiting for this moment for
0:02:59 > 0:03:11over 30 years. The announcement was hard to hear.Notice of
0:03:11 > 0:03:22resignation...But this is what the speaker said. I, Robert Gabriel
0:03:22 > 0:03:26Mugabe, hereby formally tendered my resignation of President of Zimbabwe
0:03:26 > 0:03:34with immediate effect. My colleague, the BBC Africa editor Fergal Keane,
0:03:34 > 0:03:39was in the chamber when the announcement was made.We are here
0:03:39 > 0:03:42right at the money that they've heard that Robert Mugabe has
0:03:42 > 0:03:50resigned from the presidency, and you can hear it - cheering from MPs
0:03:50 > 0:03:54and members of the public who have come here to witness what is
0:03:54 > 0:03:58happening. They didn't expect it and thought this could have been an
0:03:58 > 0:04:03inundated process of impeachment, but it hasn't happened. He's gone,
0:04:03 > 0:04:08it's over.Scenes of wild celebration INAUDIBLE
0:04:08 > 0:04:14After 37 years and a promising start, it's an embarrassing end for
0:04:14 > 0:04:18one of Africa's last INAUDIBLE .
0:04:18 > 0:04:23This is a good day for Zimbabwe, a new era for our nation. 37 years
0:04:23 > 0:04:29with one president, it doesn't make any sense.I don't have anything to
0:04:29 > 0:04:36say, but I'm happy with this. Mugabe was... I don't have any words to say
0:04:36 > 0:04:41now.There was an air of expectation earlier. Parliament had resolved
0:04:41 > 0:04:45that if he wouldn't resign, he would be impeached.This is a people's
0:04:45 > 0:04:52project, we are a people's party. We believe in people's resolutions.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56What if it fails?It will never fail. The people have never failed.
0:04:56 > 0:05:02Waiting in the wings is Emmerson Mnangagwa, a long-time assistant and
0:05:02 > 0:05:06vice president whom Robert Mugabe sacked just last week. The weight of
0:05:06 > 0:05:14expectation is now on him to fix this broken country. For now,
0:05:14 > 0:05:19Zimbabweans are savouring the moment they thought would never come. Mr
0:05:19 > 0:05:23Mugabe is no longer the president of Zimbabwe.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Robert Mugabe is the only leader Zimbabwe has known
0:05:25 > 0:05:27since independence in 1980.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30His part in achieving that won him the status of a hero
0:05:30 > 0:05:33in the anti-colonial struggle.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35But during almost four decades in power, he began to brutally
0:05:35 > 0:05:39repress any dissenters, and then presided over economic
0:05:39 > 0:05:41collapse, the seizure of land without compensation,
0:05:41 > 0:05:45and hyperinflation.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49By the end, he was reviled as a tyrant.
0:05:49 > 0:05:57Here is our Africa correspondent, Andrew Harding. He could have left
0:05:57 > 0:06:00power a Hiro, instead he made the classic mistake and overstayed his
0:06:00 > 0:06:05welcome, many would say by decade. There was a deceptive calm in
0:06:05 > 0:06:10Salisbury...Robert Mugabe had grown-up in a world of white
0:06:10 > 0:06:14privilege and British colonial rule. As a young man, he joined the
0:06:14 > 0:06:18liberation struggle, spending ten years in prison and then joining his
0:06:18 > 0:06:26gorillas in the bush. When finally independence came in 1980, Mugabe
0:06:26 > 0:06:34took control. The early signs of trouble, his political rivals Silas,
0:06:34 > 0:06:37thousands massacred in violence across the country. But Mugabe --
0:06:37 > 0:06:43Zimbabwe prospered, and its population seemed well-educated. In
0:06:43 > 0:06:46the 1990s, economic shocks and growing political opposition
0:06:46 > 0:06:55prompted Mugabe to lash out. His supporters seized white- owned
0:06:55 > 0:06:58farms. Violently. The ripples shuddered through the country and
0:06:58 > 0:07:05the economy. To stay in power, Mugabe's ZANU-PF party began rigging
0:07:05 > 0:07:10elections and terrorising opponents. Sanctions followed and then
0:07:10 > 0:07:13hyperinflation, the currency collapsing spectacularly. Then came
0:07:13 > 0:07:19the race. An ageing Mugabe remarried, but the public never
0:07:19 > 0:07:25warmed to her. She spent lavishly, but it was when she began to show
0:07:25 > 0:07:28political ambition that things changed dramatically. Zimbabweans
0:07:28 > 0:07:33were in no mood for a dynasty, nor was the military, with political
0:07:33 > 0:07:38tensions rising, it was the prospect of President grace that helped force
0:07:38 > 0:07:48the generals' hand last week when they seized power in a coup d'etat.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Today, we went in search of more clues.
0:07:50 > 0:07:51Outside Harare, one of her huge mansions.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53I'm Andrew.
0:07:53 > 0:07:54I'm Dennis.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57We weren't allowed in, but nearby, we got a taste of why she is
0:07:57 > 0:07:59so despised here.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02This woman said the police had destroyed her home
0:08:02 > 0:08:07and dozens more because Grace wanted to seize the land for herself.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09They came here and started demolishing my
0:08:09 > 0:08:10house.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13All over.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15They pulled down my house.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17They said, you must go away because this
0:08:17 > 0:08:20place is being taken by
0:08:20 > 0:08:22the first lady.
0:08:22 > 0:08:23By the first lady, Grace Mugabe?
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Yes.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Here, the law meant nothing to the first family.
0:08:27 > 0:08:34They were emperors.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38Mugabe was so long in power, he behaved as if Zimbabwe belong to
0:08:38 > 0:08:43him, his family. Today, at long last, a man who could have left
0:08:43 > 0:08:47office and African icon was forced out, his humiliation complete.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51Andrew Harding, BBC News, Harare.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Our Africa editor, Fergal Keane, is in Harare.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57You were there when his letter of resignation
0:08:57 > 0:09:04was suddenly read out - describe that moment of history.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07It was extraordinary. I was in fact in the middle of doing a piece to
0:09:07 > 0:09:11camera with a very hushed voice, and all of a sudden, cheering erupted
0:09:11 > 0:09:15behind me. They had seen two Ashes coming, and a letter, and as if by
0:09:15 > 0:09:20instinct, they sensed the moment had come. Therein mind, seven days ago,
0:09:20 > 0:09:24I probably would have been arrested for reporting openly in this
0:09:24 > 0:09:27country, and I was banned from coming here. In the wake of this
0:09:27 > 0:09:40resignation letter, I went onto the floor Parliament, and I had ruling
0:09:40 > 0:09:43party MPs queueing up to tell me what an incredible moment of joy it
0:09:43 > 0:09:45was for them, talking about bringing real democracy to Zimbabwe. You can
0:09:45 > 0:09:48hear behind me tonight a whole city erupting in joy. Across the country,
0:09:48 > 0:09:51it is going to be the same.We can hear it, and I think we can see it
0:09:51 > 0:09:55as well. We have live pictures of the scenes of joy going on in the
0:09:55 > 0:10:01streets of Harare, but the big question now, what is next Zimbabwe?
0:10:01 > 0:10:06What happens now?We are hearing in the last few minutes from ZANU-PF,
0:10:06 > 0:10:09the ruling party, that Emmerson Mnangagwa, the man behind the plot
0:10:09 > 0:10:14to oust Robert Mugabe, will be sworn in as president either tomorrow or
0:10:14 > 0:10:19Thursday, so there's not going to be delayed. Nobody's going to wait
0:10:19 > 0:10:21around and potentially open up a vicious power struggle. He's going
0:10:21 > 0:10:26to come back. We think he is in South Africa. He will be welcomed by
0:10:26 > 0:10:32cheering crowds and he will be sworn to create stability, because this
0:10:32 > 0:10:34country has known so much unhappiness over the last three
0:10:34 > 0:10:40decades, the imperative now is to open up relations with the West, to
0:10:40 > 0:10:43get investment and aid loans flooding in here, to make Zimbabwe
0:10:43 > 0:10:48were part of the community of nations once more.Fergal Keane,
0:10:48 > 0:10:51thank you.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54More than 10,000 criminal cases may have been affected by alleged data
0:10:54 > 0:10:55manipulation at a forensics laboratory in Manchester.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58It's a lab that's used by police forces across the UK.
0:10:58 > 0:10:59Around 50 prosecutions, for driving offences,
0:10:59 > 0:11:03have been already been stopped because of concerns about drug test
0:11:03 > 0:11:06results, and there are fears there could be many more.
0:11:06 > 0:11:10Our home affairs correspondent, Daniel Sandford, is

0:11:13 > 0:11:15A glossy promotional video for Randox Testing Services, used by
0:11:15 > 0:11:24dozens of police forces to track the back check
0:11:24 > 0:11:27--dozens of police forces to check suspects for drug use.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30But it's now clear that for more than three years, those tests have
0:11:30 > 0:11:31been unreliable.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33My advice from the forensic science regulator was that
0:11:33 > 0:11:36up to 10,000 cases spanning back to late 2013 could no longer be fully
0:11:36 > 0:11:38relied upon in the criminal justice system.
0:11:38 > 0:11:3910,000 cases.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Defence lawyer Nick Freeman was one of the first to
0:11:42 > 0:11:44spot the problem when one of his clients,
0:11:44 > 0:11:45who had admitted taking a
0:11:45 > 0:11:48little bit of cannabis, tested positive for drugs he knew he hadn't
0:11:48 > 0:11:53taken.
0:11:53 > 0:11:57When we got the report from Randox, it suggested a much larger
0:11:57 > 0:12:04amount than had been anticipated, but it also suggested he consume
0:12:04 > 0:12:06amount than had been anticipated, --but it also suggested he consumed
0:12:06 > 0:12:09cocaine and another substance, and he hadn't consumed any of those
0:12:09 > 0:12:11substances, as far as he was concerned.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13The actual number of miscarriages of justice is unclear
0:12:14 > 0:12:16The Crown Prosecution Service has dropped 50 prosecutions for
0:12:16 > 0:12:18drug driving that haven't come to court yet,
0:12:18 > 0:12:19and two cases of death by
0:12:19 > 0:12:22careless driving involving drugs have been referred back here to the
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Court of Appeal.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Two employees from Randox's Manchester
0:12:26 > 0:12:29laboratory are suspected of not retesting samples that had failed
0:12:29 > 0:12:30quality checks.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32They've been arrested but not charged.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34The company says it deeply regrets the
0:12:34 > 0:12:38distress caused and is paying for thousands of retests.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40But the regulator believes it is an isolated
0:12:40 > 0:12:43problem.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45I have absolutely no indications that it is part of a
0:12:45 > 0:12:48broader problem in the system.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51I can't say that something like this could never happen again, because I
0:12:51 > 0:12:52don't think any quality system could completely
0:12:52 > 0:12:58prevent a recurrence.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01There are also concerns about work done by the same two employees on
0:13:01 > 0:13:05family cases and workplace testing at Trimega Laboratories before
0:13:05 > 0:13:08it was taken over by Randox.

0:13:14 > 0:13:16Northern Ireland's border is being used as a bargaining chip

0:13:18 > 0:13:22of the DUP, Arlene Foster.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25She's accused Ireland and the rest of the EU of being 'careless'

0:13:28 > 0:13:29of the Brexit talks.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31It comes after Ireland suggested Northern Ireland may need to stay

0:13:33 > 0:13:35avoid a hard border.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39Our Political Editor Laura Kuenssberg reports.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43The answers aren't written in the sky, but Number Ten's got
0:13:43 > 0:13:45ministers on board to dangle the promise of a bigger
0:13:45 > 0:13:49payment to Brussels.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53Theresa May hopes that will shift the EU to talking trade next month.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57We are ready to move on to phase two, to see those talks about a deep
0:13:57 > 0:14:01and special partnership with the EU for the future by a hypothetical
0:14:01 > 0:14:03bigger bill isn't the only demand the Brexit Secretary's
0:14:03 > 0:14:12counterparts are making.
0:14:12 > 0:14:13--But a hypothetical
0:14:13 > 0:14:15bigger bill isn't the only demand the Brexit Secretary's
0:14:15 > 0:14:16counterparts are making.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18The EU's pressing the UK to be more specific
0:14:18 > 0:14:21about what happens at the border between Northern Ireland and
0:14:21 > 0:14:22the south when it's time to leave.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25We need to take into account the shape of a future partnership with
0:14:25 > 0:14:28the EU. Final financial settlement depends on it because nothing is
0:14:28 > 0:14:32agreed until everything is agreed. Serious slips can easily be made by
0:14:32 > 0:14:38both sides. One diplomat said today. And serious awkwardness is emerging
0:14:38 > 0:14:45over the Irish border. The Irish PM is demanding that a hard border is
0:14:45 > 0:14:50ruled out, concerned that putting up real barriers could undo progress on
0:14:50 > 0:14:54peace in Northern Ireland. The DUP, who remember have the casting vote
0:14:54 > 0:15:01in the Commons and the prime minister's ear, aren't happy about
0:15:01 > 0:15:04how Ireland and the EU are playing their concerns.I am accusing them
0:15:04 > 0:15:10of being reckless, because if you listen to some of the rhetoric, and
0:15:10 > 0:15:12nobody understands negotiations better than I, people will come out
0:15:12 > 0:15:16and say things to try and push agendas forward, so it is almost a
0:15:16 > 0:15:24full battle.You think some of this is confected? You call it a false
0:15:24 > 0:15:28battle.There are people trying to get the maximum from negotiations,
0:15:28 > 0:15:31and I understand that, but you shouldn't play about with Northern
0:15:31 > 0:15:36Ireland.It sounds rather like you are warning of the Irish prime
0:15:36 > 0:15:39minister.I am saying to him that he should know better than anyone that
0:15:39 > 0:15:43you don't play around with Northern Ireland to effect change in other
0:15:43 > 0:15:46places. We need to get into the next phase to look at what it actually
0:15:46 > 0:15:51looks like in terms of trade. I hear this phrase the borders of the past,
0:15:51 > 0:15:55but of course, they were there for a completely different reason - to
0:15:55 > 0:15:59deal with terrorism, to deal with very difficult situation in Northern
0:15:59 > 0:16:04Ireland.What is the solution? People talk about a frictionless
0:16:04 > 0:16:07border, and for pretty much 18 months now, nobody's come up with a
0:16:07 > 0:16:11solution. What might be?
0:16:11 > 0:16:13Counterparts are making. The EU's pressing the UK to be more specific
0:16:13 > 0:16:15about what happens at the border between Northern Ireland and the
0:16:15 > 0:16:18south when it's time to leave.We need to move to the second phase to
0:16:18 > 0:16:21deal with the For Ireland, north details.And south, for Brussels as
0:16:21 > 0:16:24well as Westminster, the border could yet hold up deliberation of
0:16:24 > 0:16:29the next crucial stage - a reminder Brexit is not just about our

0:17:42 > 0:17:45last year the company Concordia charged the NHS £34 million for it.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47The Competition and Markets Authority says the manufacturer
0:17:47 > 0:17:48abused its dominant position.
0:17:48 > 0:17:49Concordia denies it infringed competition law.
0:17:49 > 0:17:54Our health editor, Hugh Pym, reports.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56Fran has a serious thyroid condition.
0:17:56 > 0:18:02After having her children, she was too unwell to go back
0:18:02 > 0:18:05to work as a psychotherapist, day-to-day life was a real struggle.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07But then doctors put her on liothyronine and that
0:18:07 > 0:18:08made all the difference.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10It was just like a light had been switched on.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13It was the difference between day and night for me.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17I stabilised pretty much immediately.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21My blood tests, they've been stable ever since and I felt
0:18:21 > 0:18:31like I could possibly, you know, do the things I used
0:18:34 > 0:18:37like go out on my bike and I felt better in myself.
0:18:37 > 0:18:38I felt alive again.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41But regulators say the drug supplier abused its dominant market position
0:18:41 > 0:18:44to overcharge the NHS with the price soring from £4.46 per packet
0:18:44 > 0:18:51to £258.00 over a decade, an increase of almost 6000%.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53One consultant told me similar drugs elsewhere were much cheaper.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55Patients were telling me that they could go
0:18:55 > 0:19:00to a foreign capital and buy it for £5.00 a month.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03So there was massive difference in what the NHS was being charged
0:19:03 > 0:19:06versus what people were accessing it at a European level.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09The company Concordia said it didn't believe competition rules had been
0:19:09 > 0:19:16broken and it had worked openingly and transparently with
0:19:16 > 0:19:19the Department of Health in the UK over a period of ten years,
0:19:19 > 0:19:22and that over that time significant investment has been made in this
0:19:22 > 0:19:27medicine to ensure its continued availability for patients in the UK.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31As it happens, NHS England has put liothyronine on a list of drugs
0:19:31 > 0:19:33and treatments it no longer wishes to see routinely prescribed
0:19:33 > 0:19:38because it says they don't offer value-for-money.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41With liothyronine, the significant rise in price is quoted as a factor.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43The proposal's been strongly contested by some patients,
0:19:43 > 0:19:47a final decision will be made next week.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49Fran feels stressed even at the thought that her medicine
0:19:49 > 0:19:53might not be prescribed any more.
0:19:53 > 0:19:59I've had to see a counsellor because actually my anxiety
0:19:59 > 0:20:02is so high and I have to try and manage it and this whole
0:20:02 > 0:20:05situation, it kind of takes over your life because it's
0:20:05 > 0:20:07so important to you.
0:20:07 > 0:20:11Yeah, I feel very afraid of losing it.
0:20:11 > 0:20:16The question now is whether NHS England feels if the price
0:20:16 > 0:20:18was right for this drug, it could still be supplied
0:20:18 > 0:20:21to those patients who say they desperately need it.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25Hugh Pym, BBC News.
0:20:25 > 0:20:30A fatal accident inquiry in Scotland has ruled that the deaths of three
0:20:30 > 0:20:33people who were killed in a rally in the Borders could have been
0:20:33 > 0:20:36avoided if people had been clearly banned from standing in the area
0:20:36 > 0:20:40where crash took place.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43The inquiry was held into the deaths at the Jim Clark Rally in 2014
0:20:43 > 0:20:45and a fourth fatality at the Snowman Rally
0:20:45 > 0:20:46near Inverness in 2013.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49The security contractor, G4S, says it's sacked six staff
0:20:49 > 0:20:52after the BBC's Panorama programme showed apparent abuse of detainees
0:20:52 > 0:20:57at its immigration centre near Gatwick Airport.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59The dismissals were confirmed as it was revealed that
0:20:59 > 0:21:02an independent inquiry, commissioned by the company
0:21:02 > 0:21:05into events at the centre, will be carried out by barrister
0:21:05 > 0:21:15Kate Lampard.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23Railcards offering discounted train travel are to be extended
0:21:23 > 0:21:27to people up to 30-years-old.
0:21:27 > 0:21:28The Chancellor, Philip Hammond, is expected
0:21:28 > 0:21:30to announce the extension in tomorrow's Budget.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33At the moment, the young persons' railcard is only available to people
0:21:33 > 0:21:35between the ages of 16 and 25.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37It's thought the so-called 'millennials' card' will be
0:21:37 > 0:21:38available in the Spring next year.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41It will be six months tomorrow since a suicide bomber blew himself
0:21:41 > 0:21:43up at Manchester Arena, killing 22 people who'd
0:21:43 > 0:21:45been at a concert, including young children.
0:21:45 > 0:21:4614-year-old Nell Jones and 15-year-old Olivia Campbell-Hardy
0:21:46 > 0:21:47were among those who died.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50To help deal with the grief, their families and friends have been
0:21:50 > 0:21:52creating memorial projects to keep their memories alive
0:21:52 > 0:21:54as our correspondent, Judith Moritz, reports.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57Nell Jones loved having fun with her friends and they loved her,
0:21:57 > 0:22:03particularly her best friend, Olivia.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05They'd spend hours together, and Nell's death has
0:22:05 > 0:22:14hit the teenager hard.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17Olivia went to school with Nell and the pair were part of a group
0:22:17 > 0:22:20of friends, who are now working with the teenager's family to create
0:22:20 > 0:22:21a memorial garden in her name.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24It's given us something to focus on rather than just think
0:22:24 > 0:22:27of all the bad things, we can look back and remember
0:22:27 > 0:22:30all the happy times we had with Nell and just remember what we did
0:22:30 > 0:22:31as a group.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33When I met Nell, you know, I found her someone
0:22:33 > 0:22:40who was really special.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Nell was at the Ariana Grande concert with her friend Freya,
0:22:42 > 0:22:44she's still recovering from serious injuries and is helping
0:22:44 > 0:22:46with the garden.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48She's brought us together really and this would just kind
0:22:48 > 0:22:51of symbolise it because we can all sit there and talk about her.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54We talk about her 24/7 anyway, but now we can have
0:22:54 > 0:22:58like a place where we can think about her even more.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00The garden will be at Nell's school with pebbles painted
0:23:00 > 0:23:03by the children and staff.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06The teenager's family say it's the perfect way to remember her.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08It's her.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10I mean, she loved flowers, roses and lavender especially.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14She would be happy because it's for other people as well.
0:23:14 > 0:23:18Nell was a people person, really.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22But a place for people to come together, just to sit
0:23:22 > 0:23:28or remember loved ones, I just think it's fantastic.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30Those who knew Olivia Campbell-Hardy have found a different
0:23:30 > 0:23:34way to remember her.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36Olivia was passionate about dancing, this video was filmed just days
0:23:36 > 0:23:42before she was killed at the arena.
0:23:42 > 0:23:47Now her dance troupe must perform without her and they're supporting
0:23:47 > 0:23:49supporting Liv's Trust, which will help children to take
0:23:49 > 0:23:50dance and music lessons.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Olivia's relatives started the charity instead of a memorial,
0:23:52 > 0:23:53like a garden or bench.
0:23:53 > 0:23:54Liv wouldn't have liked that.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56She wouldn't have liked anything just standing
0:23:56 > 0:23:58there with her name on.
0:23:58 > 0:23:59She wasn't that kind of girl.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02She didn't want the publicity.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04She wouldn't have liked it to just be stuck there -
0:24:04 > 0:24:07Oh, this is done for the girl that died in the bomb.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10We decided a trust would be the best idea, if we could
0:24:10 > 0:24:12find a way to do it.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15If two or three people in the next 20 years come out and make
0:24:15 > 0:24:16something of themselves, it's something that
0:24:16 > 0:24:21she would have wanted.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24So she has given something back even though she's not had that
0:24:24 > 0:24:26opportunity herself to become what she wanted to be.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28So all through that your hands are straight.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31Six months since the arena attack, it's still very early days
0:24:31 > 0:24:32for all of those affected.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35The memorial project provides some small comfort so that the names
0:24:35 > 0:24:37of those killed live on publicly amidst private grief,
0:24:37 > 0:24:38which is still so raw.
0:24:38 > 0:24:48Judith Moritz, BBC News, Manchester.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52Back to our top story, the news that Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe
0:24:52 > 0:25:02has resigned after 37 years in power.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06Boris Johnson called it a "turning point" for Zimbabwe.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09Lets go to our correspondent, Shingai Nyoka, in Harare.
0:25:09 > 0:25:15The celebrations will no doubt go op into the night?Absolutely. The
0:25:15 > 0:25:20celebrations have been growing for the last two hours since it was
0:25:20 > 0:25:25announced that President Mugabe had handed in his resignation. You can
0:25:25 > 0:25:30hear on the streets below cars are filling the street. People are still
0:25:30 > 0:25:34pouring out on to the street. The cars are hooting. People are singing
0:25:34 > 0:25:39and dancing. I witnessed independence in 1980 and frankly
0:25:39 > 0:25:44these scenes compare to what I saw 37 years ago. The overriding hope
0:25:44 > 0:25:48and wish of people is that this signifies a new beginning for
0:25:48 > 0:25:54Zimbabwe.Robert Mugabe, the only leader that people have known there
0:25:54 > 0:26:00since 1980, what do Zimbabweans wants now, though?Well, the
0:26:00 > 0:26:04overriding word, or the word that Zimbabweans have been saying is that
0:26:04 > 0:26:12they want change. President Mugabe has stepped down, his sacked
0:26:12 > 0:26:16Vice-President, Emmerson Mnangagwa will reportedly be sworn in today,
0:26:16 > 0:26:19tomorrow or the day after. That there's an immense burden of weight
0:26:19 > 0:26:24on his shoulder to deliver that change that people have been waiting
0:26:24 > 0:26:30for since 1980. President Mugabe was once the darling of the West. There
0:26:30 > 0:26:36was hope on his shoulders. People are hoping that Emmerson Mnangagwa
0:26:36 > 0:26:46will...We seem to have lost the line at the end of that. That was
0:26:46 > 0:26:49the latest from Harare.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53Time for a look at the weather, here's Lucy Martin.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Time for a look at the weather, here's Lucy Martin.
0:26:55 > 0:26:59Cloudy scenes being sent in, this one from County Durham. Cloudy skies
0:26:59 > 0:27:04in Richmond. Despite, temperatures have reached 15 degrees in the
0:27:04 > 0:27:08south. That is thanks to being in this area of mild air which we
0:27:08 > 0:27:12dragged in from the south as we moved through today. All of us have
0:27:12 > 0:27:19been largely in that. This evening and overnight outbreaks of rain will
0:27:19 > 0:27:23work north-east. Rain to Wales, Midlands and East Anglia into the
0:27:23 > 0:27:27early hours. The rain will push into Northern Ireland from the south-west
0:27:27 > 0:27:31into Wales and parts of northern England as well. More breezy across
0:27:31 > 0:27:34England and Wales into the early hours. Temperatures largely in the
0:27:34 > 0:27:39double figures in the south. Cooler in the north. Tomorrow will start
0:27:39 > 0:27:43off with fairly windy conditions across England and Wales. The chance
0:27:43 > 0:27:48of seeing some gales on exposed coasts. Up to 17mph. That area of
0:27:48 > 0:27:57rain working its way north-east as we move through the day. . Heavy
0:27:57 > 0:28:03bursts for Scotland. Temperatures reaching a maximum of 14 degrees
0:28:03 > 0:28:07Celsius. As we move into Thursday we will drag in cooler air from the
0:28:07 > 0:28:11north. That is a sign of things to come through the second part of the
0:28:11 > 0:28:15week. That cold air will spread south and east. Temperatures will
0:28:15 > 0:28:20start to drop off. We will start Thursday with some snow in the north
0:28:20 > 0:28:21of Scotland, over
