President trump steps up his attacks on four Congress Women, insisting he doesnt have a racist bone in his body. They can leave, they can stay. But they should love our country. Five, four, three, two, one. The 50th anniversary of the mission to the moon, a milestone in space exploration. Coming up on sportsday later in the hour on bbc news, well get the latest from portrush. Rory mcilroy says it could be very emotional if he wins the open on home soil. It starts on thursday. Good evening. The number of people who died in scotland last year after taking drugs reached record levels, and the drugs death rate is higher than in any other eu country or america, according to the data available. Drug related deaths in scotland have more than doubled over the last decade, reaching 1187 last year. Thats more than a quarter up on the previous year. It means the countrys drug death rate per Million People is now nearly three times that of england, wales and Northern Ireland. Sarah smith reports. Talk to any drug users in dundee, and they all have stories of friends who have recently died from a Drug Overdose and their own near death experiences. I was in icu, and they called my family up to say that i was going to die. We were up smoking crack till four in the morning, and i had took valium and heroin. It is that lethal cocktail of drug use thats largely to blame for the increase in drug deaths. The vast majority of those who died had more than one substance in their system. These street valium pills, which contain all sorts of dangerous chemicals, can be particularly deadly. People are taking them, and them, and taking heroin as well, and maybe theyre on medication as well. So thats happening. You can kick drugs. This gym class for recovering addicts shows what is possible. Sharon brand is a former heroin user who now runs recovery projects like this one. But she knows the problem is getting worse. She sees the users are getting younger. Now its children, its children. What, who are taking drugs . That are dying. Theres three generations of drug users in dundee now. Kids who are watching their parents taking drugs . Notjust their parents, their friends parents, their friends grandparents. Whoever it is, it is right through my community, its right through it. To stop people accidentally overdosing in the streets, the Scottish Government wants to open medically supervised consumption rooms, where users could take Illegal Drugs in a safer environment. But the Scottish Government dont have control over drugs laws, and that ideas being blocked by the uk home office. The Scottish Government have declared the situation an emergency and have set up an expert task force. The evidence is that actions like the safer consumption rooms will make a difference, will save lives, so i think we should follow the evidence, and i really would encourage the uk government to work with us in order to make that happen. Drugs are the current crisis. Ten years ago, scotland successfully slashed epidemic levels of knife crime. Experts say its a problem that needs a similar approach. You know, if you did a venn diagram, there is always that same group of people, and what typifies them is trauma and hopelessness. And the fact they are no thinking about next year, they are just thinking about, is today the day i die . Cos they dont care about themselves, and nobody else cares about them either, and what does that say about us in scotland . All this talk of getting old. Do it yourself initiatives like this open mic night for former addicts and friends try and provide some social support. Charities complain there isnt nearly enough formal treatment for addicts in scotland in a country where, for the first, time drugs are killing more people than alcohol. Sarah smith, bbc news, dundee. It is very convenient for the Scottish Government to argue they are being hampered by westminster, that they could do more if only they had greater control over drug laws. Some of the relevant charities in scotla nd some of the relevant charities in scotland say the existing services here are not nearly good enough, people are waiting too long for treatment, too many people are dropping out of treatment, some are simply ignored by a system which is frankly overwhelmed by the scale of the drugs crisis. Sarah smith, thank you. A jury at the inquest at the old bailey has ruled that armed police lawfully killed the three men who carried out the London Bridge attack in june 2017. Khuram butt, Rachid Redouane and Youssef Zaghba were shot dead after they killed eight people and injured 48 others. Members of the public filmed the moments before the armed Police Arrived footage which has not been shown until now, as Daniel Sandford reports. Borough market famous for its restaurants. But that night, men armed with knives were looking for victims. Come back, come back unarmed pc Bartosz Tchorzewski had run to within two metres of them, before backing off. Straightaway, i see that he has a vest, or rather a suicide belt. You just have no tools to fight with that kind of danger, so we made a decision to withdraw. Get trojan go through there, run get trojan, one officer shouts a police term for firearms specialists. Run, run get to the car get trojan but for some reason the attackers dont follow them further. A man on a bike tries to get the polices attention, and the officers decide to go back and find the attackers. Police, police well, i guess we are police officers, so we have to do something. The Firearms Officers have to know where to go, so at least we have to know where they are. Ijust think we needed to circulate where they were. Its no good us not having any eyes on them. So, yeah, wejust, i guess, followed them back into the market, back down bedale road, not quite sure exactly where theyd gone. At that point, two bakers also joined the chase, armed only with plastic crates and a broom. Stay there the plan to distract the attackers, to stop them stabbing any more people. Stay there paul clarke, whos filming it all, tells his family to stay back. Theyd seen several people stabbed in front of them in a restaurant, but he also follows to keep an eye on the attackers. Siren. That siren the sound of the Firearms Officers arriving. Gunfire. I sort of dived myself one way into a shutter, cos i was stood there perfectly in line. It was, like, me, one of the attackers, and the firearms officer. Quite lucky not to have been shot myself. What the bleep is going on here . The Firearms Officers left their vehicle so quickly that no one put the handbrake on, and it rolled into some chairs as the attackers fell to the floor. And two unarmed officers stepped forward to handcuff the suspects worried about the possible suicide belts. I think if i had time to think about what i was doing, maybe i wouldnt have done it. I had one thought, and that was peoples lives needed to be saved, and if they were real, then were all in proper trouble. These dreadful events showed us the very worst of humanity, but it also showed us the very best as well. What stood out were the accounts of tremendous bravery and compassion by the public and Emergency Services alike. The response that night, under the most extreme and chaotic of circumstances, was quite simply extraordinary. The three attackers murdered eight people. But all through their rampage, people tried to stop them. Without their bravery, they could have killed many more. Daniel sanford, bbc news. This week, we are telling the remarkable story of twins safa and marwa from pakistan, who were born joined at the head. A huge team of surgeons at great ormond street hospital in london managed to separate the sisters over the course of three major operations which lasted more than 50 hours. Our medical correspondent fergus walsh and producer Rachael Buchanan were given exclusive access to the family and surgery over nearly a year. Safa and marwa share a single skull. The two year olds have already undergone two complex operations at great ormond street hospital to prepare them for separation. Now, finally, that day has come. Their brains, lock together since birth, are eased apart. So this is safas brain, thats marwas brain. So they are separate, apart from that piece of dura . After seven hours, the final connection of bone and tissue are severed. Fantastic. At last, after three major operations, the twins are no longerjoined. What was the moment like when they were separate for the first time . What did that feel like . Its a very emotional moment. Weve been working a long time to get them here, theyve been through so many operations, and now its worked so youve still got, what, four or five hours to do . Yes, we have to put them together now. So weve taken them apart, and we have to reconstruct their heads. Marwa is still in the operating theatre through here while safa has been moved just next door. For the first time, the survival of each of the twins is not dependent on the other. And that will make it easier for the two surgical teams to regulate their heart rate, Blood Pressure and other vital signs. Safa and marwas brains used to have a distorted shape. But four months earlier a plastic sheet was inserted between them, and by gradually tightening the pressure, it has largely corrected their appearance essential before their skills can be rebuilt. This means both teams can begin reconstruction. The patchwork of skull pieces are shared between theatres. A piece for me, a piece for you. To have enough to cover their heads, they have to divide each bit in two. The bone fragments were pieced together to form the skull of marwa on the left and safa on the right. The gaps were seeded with bone cells. These should slowly close up. The final task is to stretch the skin over their reconstructed skulls. Theres just enough to make the join. A Pretty Amazing day, isnt it . Hi, everything is good at 1 30 in the morning, the surgeons tell the family its all done. Hello, safa hello, marwa how are you today . Then begins the long road to recovery. The twins have daily physiotherapy. This will help them reach some basic milestones learning to roll, sit, and hold their heads up. Twinkle, twinkle, little star. How i wonder what you are. But the separation has taken its toll, especially on safa, who suffered a stroke after one of the operations. We made the decision that the bulk of the common vessels go to marwa, the weaker twin. Because of that decision, safa suffered a stroke. What i really want to see is the weakness that safa has at the moment, and she has a weakness in her left arm and left leg, improves. So for me, the big moment is going to be when she walks and when she uses her left arm properly. Because, you know, i have given her that weakness, and for me, that is a hard thing. Five months after separation, nearly a year since they were admitted to hospital, the girls are leaving great ormond street. Time to say goodbye to doctors and nurses who have become friends. Until the twins are well enough to return to pakistan, theyll stay in london all paid for by the donor who funded the surgery. The twins are likely to have some learning difficulties, but their mum zeinab is overjoyed at the freedom separation has brought. Whatever hurdles safa and marwa may face in years to come, they will at least do that as separate, independent girls. Twins still, but conjoined no more. Fergus walsh, bbc news. And in our final report tomorrow, well meet another set of twins oncejoined at the head who were separated by the same surgical team. Donald trump has renewed his attack on four democratic politicians from minority backgrounds. Hes rejected accusations of racism after saying they should go back to where they came from, insisting he doesnt have a racist bone in his body. He accused the four congresswomen, all us citizens, of being anti israel, anti usa and pro terrorist. 0ur north america correspondent nick bryant reports. Race has always been the most volcanic fault line of american politics, and one that has always run right through the nations capital. But never in the modern day has a sitting us president used such deliberately divisive language. Donald trump pat himself on defying norms and manufacturing outrage, and he has intensified his attack on the four Congress Women of colour. He has intensified his attack on the four Congress Women of colourlj have a list of things here said by the congresswomen that is so bad, so horrible, that i almost dont want to read it. It is what they say about our country. Its my opinion that they hate our country. And thats not good. Its not acceptable. Thank you very much, everybody. That night, the four non white congresswomen targeted by the president sraces twitter onslaught stood shoulder to shoulder ina onslaught stood shoulder to shoulder in a tableau of american diversity. He is launching a blatantly racist attack on four duly elected members of the United States of house of representatives, all of whom are women of colour. This is the agenda of white nationalists. Today it became a digital duel, donald trump claiming that those tweets were not racist. I dont have a racist bone in my body. Congresswoman alexandria 0casio cortez hit back. You have a racist mind in your head, and a racist mind in your head, and a racist heart in your chest. Not many republicans on capitol hill have openly criticised donald trump, and there has been support from the party leadership. The president is not a racist. The president is not a racist, and i think the tone of all of this is not good for the country. But its coming from all different ideological point of view, thats the point. Virginia was a Battle Ground in the american civil war, a conflict that often feels like it has never been truly resolved. So what has been the response that the latest racial flare up . What has been the response that the latest racialflareup . It what has been the response that the latest racial flareup . Itjust doesnt feel president ial at all. I dont really like it. He is the face of america and america is the ideal melting pot. Telling people to get back to their countries because they have different coloured skin is not what america is about. |j have different coloured skin is not what america is about. I dont view his remarks as racist. I know some people believe that, but i understand where he is coming from. Yet more division in this land of warring political tribes. Donald trump will probably be happy with how this race row is playing out. These twitter attacks are a matter of political calculation. He is mapping out the battle lines for next yea rs mapping out the battle lines for next years president ial election. Nick bryant, bbc news, washington.

But the men working here say, in fact, hes done the exact opposite that even those opposed to the government are now rallying behind the flag. Back at the charity, the kids wash up. Iran is resourceful and resilient. But these sanctions are the toughest its ever faced, and that means the most vulnerable, like muhammad, will fall victim. Martin patience, bbc news, tehran. It was one of the most extraordinary achievements of all time, the mission that allowed man to walk on the moon, an historic moment that an historic moment in 1969 that captivated people across the globe. Five, four, three, two, one. Zero. 50 years ago today, the apollo 11 rocket blasted off from the Kennedy Space center in florida. All thoughts were with the three astronauts in the tiny capsule. But there is another side of the story, the impact it had on the millions who stayed up watching tv as the mission unfolded. The uks space agency has been piecing together their stories and the lasting effect that the event had on their lives. Heres david sillito. Columbia, this is houston. Here goes the mission with the Television Camera on it. This is the story of what landing on the moon meant to us. Its one small step for man. One giant leap for mankind. Home movies, scrapbooks, photos, a National Memory bank of this where were you moment. And of the hundreds of contributors, we have been speaking to three of them. Im with my parents and all of the schoolchildren at myjunior school. There is armstrong. Itsjust myself in the left chair, my dad on the right looking at the television. Youre thinking, ive never been up this late its four oclock in the morning. Round and then dodging, trying to see, and im getting so frustrated with this, i burst into tears. The mission has gone so perfectly that a mid course correction to tomorrow morning. And the bbcs man in the studio was james burke, filling time without pictures for more than four hours. The atmosphere is quite tense because it was something you got one go at. If you got it wrong, you got it completely wrong. We can just make out the backpack and the dark circle of the visor in front of it. I had horrid dreams the night before that he would be walking down the steps and he would open his mouth and Say Something and i would Say Something on top of it. But perhaps the most important thing was just the sheer spectacle of it. The world was watching this demonstration of science and engineering, and for a generation of young viewers, it was inspirational. I knew at that point that that was what i wanted to do, i wanted to be involved in that side of life, those programmes. I think you can talk to an awful lot of people from my generation and later who were inspired. These are the apollo stories from britains living rooms, an archive of memories, inspiration, and feelings. I just thought it was the start of bases on the moon leading to bases on mars, but it turned out to be a bit different to that. And jackie. It inspired me, but i was in this situation that the best i could aspire to was to be a clerk typist. 50 years on, she is now a professional space artist.

Sometimes, you get there and you feel like theres somebody looking down on you and not just for me but for everyone playing that day. Hello. The world best golfers are on the coast of Northern Ireland, the opening at port rush gets under way on thursday. It is not the final major of the year after the change of schedule, one that is squeezing the four majors into the space of just four months, not every player is happy about that. Tiger woods is one of them. He has been conserving his energy for one last push at a major title this year. It is always alarming when you lose sight of a tiger. Three months ago he completed one of the great comebacks by winning the masters. But in recent weeks, he has switched the green jacket for a cloak of invisibility. Now, he finds himself back in the open and his time away has left his game prone to rust. Not as sharp as i would like to have it right now, i made a conscious effort to cut back on my schedule to make sure they do not play too much. I want to play as long as i possibly can and you have to understand that if i play a lot then i will not be out there that long. He finds himself in unfamiliar country, they have not hosted the open since 1951 it is a beautiful, yet perilous course, only known to a few on the tour. But to rory mcelroy, this is his home. He came here as a boy, so even for a man who was 1a majors, winning this would be special. I do not get that emotional with golf, but if it were to happen, ido with golf, but if it were to happen, i do not know what the emotions would be but it would definitely ta ke would be but it would definitely take a lot for me not to sort of, you know, burst out crying. We are expecting a different kind of waterworks, much as changed Northern Ireland since when he can port rush 68 years
