Welcome to bbc news. The white house has defended President Trumps response to the violence in Charlottesville Virginia after the biggest gathering of White Nationalist groups in america for decades. A 20 year old man has now been charged with murder after a car was driven into a woman who was part of a demonstration against the far right rally. 19 other people were injured. After President Trump spoke of violence on many sides, a spokesman clarified today that his condemnation included White Supremacists and neo nazis. Our correspondent laura bicker sent this report from charlottesville. After a violent day of division, charlottesville has come together to pray, to show that this city condemns the hate brought here by neo nazis and White Supremacists. The Virginia Governor went from row to row, Hugging Worshippers in this baptist church, promising to keep politics out of the pulpit but there was a message he felt he had to give. It is political in that the political rhetoric in this country today has bred bigotry. Hundreds of White Supremacists gathered in the city yesterday for a planned rally. Rioting broke out as far right groups including the ku klux klan were challenged by civil rights activists. The police dispersed the crowds, but the day would not end peacefully. A car, at speed, rammed into protesters. The crash killed 32 year old heather heyer, who had fought racism all her adult life. Police have charged 20 year old james fields with Second Degree murder. One of the organisers of the far right rally tried to hold a press c0 nfe re nce but he was heckled. I would like to condemn any of the violence yesterday. I disavow anything that led to folks getting hurt. Shame as the crowd shouted him down, he tried to leave. But instead he was forced to flee. Police moved in to keep the protesters back. These people feel that bigotry has no place in the streets of charlottesville, but this could be any town, any city across america. Its an example of the simmering racial tension, and thats become heightened under President Trump. The president stopped short of explicitly condemning the alt right for these violent scenes, and some fear that having donald trump in the white house has emboldened White Supremacists. It is important for us to call these people what they are, White Supremacists. I dont understand why that is difficult. That is what they are. They are not hiding this behind the statue, they did not come here because of a statue, they came here, as david duke said, to fulfil the promise of President Trump and take their country back. Calm has been restored for now, giving the city time to remember those who lost their lives while challenging hate and trying to keep the peace. Laura bicker, charlottesville. After weeks of public divisions between members of the cabinet over brexit, the chancellor Philip Hammond and the International Trade secretary liam fox have made a joint pledge, saying that a transition period will not be a back door to remaining in the eu. The two have previously put forward opposing views on brexit. Heres our Political Correspondent ben wright. Hes the brexit loving Trade Secretary itching to do deals, but liam fox, seen here in the us last month, has been in a dispute with the man in charge of the economy, Philip Hammond, over what should happen after britain leaves the eu in march 2019. Today, though, a united front. Writing a joint piece in the sunday telegraph, they say there must not be a cliff edge break when britain leaves the eu in march 2019. They will seek a time limited transition period with the eu a victory for Philip Hammond. But during this period, britain will leave the Customs Union and the eu Single Market and the Customs Union a win for mr fox. I think it is actually very encouraging because over the last three or four weeks we have seen conflicting signals sent out by various numbers of the cabinet, and now it does look as if someone has said to mr fox and mr hammond, we need to see unity. The Customs Union sets eu wide import tariffs. The Single Market allows free trade and the movement of people. Ministers say the uk can leave both while still giving Business Confidence during our departure from the eu. It sounds worryingly to me as if the price Philip Hammond has had to pay for a transitional arrangement has been to sign up to us leaving the Single Market and the Customs Union. I think that is a dreadful mistake for the future of our economy, forjobs, and prosperity in britain. Its in brussels all this will have to be hammered out. The eu insists progress must be made on sorting out the terms of the divorce before the uks future relationship can be discussed. And one issue the eu wants clarity on is how the border between Northern Ireland and the republic will work after brexit. This week, the government will publish its formal Position Paper on the issue, expected to include plans to give irish citizens the right to move freely into the uk after brexit. This week, ministers will also set out their thinking on how a new Customs Arrangement with the eu could work, and more Position Papers will follow in a clear effort to Scotch Criticism that ministers are divided and Lack A Brexit strategy. It is also intended to put pressure on brussels to crack on with talking about britains future relationship with the eu sooner rather than later. Ben wright, bbc news, westminster. The kenyan Opposition Leader, raila odinga, has given a defiant response to International Calls for him to respect the results of last weeks president ial election. At a rally in the capital nairobi, he urged his supporters to boycott work tomorrow. He said he would announce his next steps on tuesday. Our correspondent Alistair Leithead has more. They believe the election was stolen, and have taken to the streets. Opposition president ial candidate raila odinga toured his strongholds in the capital, the first time he has appeared in public since losing the election. He urged his supporters not to accept the result. They knew they would be defeated and would have to steal, he told the crowd, that is why they had come to kill innocent people, shoot them, put them in body bags and take them away. Dozens have been injured and some People Killed this weekend in clashes with police. Well, the question was whether the opposition would accept the results of the election. Its prettly clear, now, they are not. They are calling for mass action and for people to reject this result. Pretty clear. But it wont be national. These are small pockets of protest. Much of the country has accepted the result. I therefore wish to declare for uhuru kenyatta. President kenyatta was declared winner on friday night, beating his rival by a wide margin, and has a second term in office. International observers declared the process broadly free and fair and the Electoral Commission dismissed claims the ballot was hacked or rigged. In a place with a history of ethnic post election violence, tensions have been raised again. The Opposition Leader has done little to urge peace and is now taking his election challenge to the streets. The so called Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for an attack on us forces in Northern Iraq in which two americans died. Islamic state. The violence occurred east of tal afar, west of mosul, a town still under the control of is. The us military said five other people were injured during the fighting. 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 500 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. Navin khadka, who is the Environment Correspondent for the bbc world service, gave this update from the capital kathmandu. Several rivers have broken their embankments. Breached their embankments. Several of them have joined together. As a result, several settlements, villages, farmlands, theyre submerged. Highways cut off, roads and bridges washed off. Its a very grim situation. The Home Minister was on the record just now saying there arent even adequate boats to rescue people. So basic things are missing. And the government has admitted that theyre overwhelmed. Theres a lack of resources. So its a huge issue, and then also not to forget that are many remote areas where there had been no proper roads, no proper ways, and its very difficult to find out where these people actually are, because of the severe weather, there is no telephone, electricity gone, therefore there is a massive challenge now. 17 former Army Instructors will come before a Court Martial next month charged with assaults on recruits. The group from the Army Foundation college in harrogate are due to appear at bulford Court Martial centre. They face a0 charges, including actual bodily harm and battery. Learner drivers are to be allowed onto motorways in england, scotland and wales for the first time next year. Theyll need to be accompanied by an approved instructor and in a dual control vehicle. The government hopes the change of rules will mean drivers will be better prepared to drive on motorways, as Daniela Relph reports. They can be daunting for young motorists. Driving at speed, surrounded by bigger vehicles. From next year, learners will get Motorway Lessons. Sean curley passed his driving test six weeks ago. It took him a further two weeks to brave a motorway on his own. Youre going up the slip road. You can see all the cars. Youre going to have to move over to the right, and theres cars going 70 miles an hour, sometimes faster, and youve not experienced anything like it. Youre on your own. Its terrifying. Young drivers are much more likely to crash than older motorists. 1. 5 of uk Licence Holders are under 19, but that age group is involved in 9 of fatal or serious crashes. In general, Young Drivers are seven times more likely to have an accident. If youre a motorist like me, id much rather have somebody next to me on a motorway whos been taught how to drive on a motorway than somebody whos just left the test centre and driven straight down onto a motorway for the first time. I think this is something that will mean a safer environment for all motorists. There will be strict rules for Learner Drivers on motorways. They will have to have an approved Driving Instructor with them, and they must be in a dual controlled car, where the instructor can take over if necessary. Some Road Safety Groups believe the Motorway Lesson should be compulsory, but only once youve passed your test. There is, though, widespread support for this change to the rules. This is all about making it a controlled environment, making sure that nothing can go wrong, or if anything does go wrong, there is a fully qualified and fully trained professional next to them that can help guide them through those situations. Not the type of thing i would maybe recommend for mum and dad to help outwith. Motorway driving wont be tested. Its additional training to make new motorists drive safely with confidence. Daniela relph, bbc news. Some Breaking News from scotland yard, and we are hearing that a 27 year old man has been charged in connection with the deaths of two women in Northwest London on friday. Joshua cullen, 27, has been charged with murder, after two women aged 33 and 66 were stabbed to death two days ago. Joshua cohen. Police in london have accused the private car hire firm, uber, of failing to report serious crimes, including sex assaults, in order to protect its reputation. Inspector neil billany has written to Transport For London saying he has significant concern that officers are being kept in the dark about some offences. Uber insists it always works closely with the police. Dan freedman reports. Its quick, its easy, but is it dangerous . A Senior Met Police officer says uber are turning a blind eye when drivers are accused of serious crimes by passengers. In a letter to tfl he cites the example of a driver who denies a Sexual Assault, continues to work for uber, but then allegedly commits a more serious Sexual Assault while working. Uber did not tell the police. I think anyone travelling by private hire vehicle in london wants to know that vehicle is going to be safe and their driver is safe. And i think this raises very, very serious concerns about the operation of uber. And if the police have got those serious concerns, then clearly Transport For London will need to look at that as they review the license going forward. But uber say the serious Sexual Assault was a hug which, while inappropriate, might not have prevented the second incident if reported. In the second incident, the driver placed their hand on a passengers leg. They add that if there is a serious incident involving a licensed driver, they are prevented from using the app and tfl is promptly notified. They were reviewed in may, and in may they were given another four months license, and they really shouldnt have been given one in may. Youve seen all the correspondence from the police to tfl warning them whats going on, and tfl have abdicated responsiblity. Tfl say. More than a million uberjourneys happen every single week in london. Its clearly popular with some customers, but this is bad news at a very important time for the company, with Transport For London currently reviewing whether to extend their license or grant them a five year one when it expires in september.

He was presented with a section of the track from london 2012, a games at which he declared himself a Living Legend by defending his 100 and 200 metre 0lympic titles for a second time, before he completed a lap of honour for the last time. I personally feel this is a good message to the kids that you can work hard, be strong, and push on. For me, if i can leave Something Like that to the younger generation, no matter what is going on, you can be the best that you can be, that is a good message to leave.
