The this time she is 72 and doesnt have a hope in hell of looking better as a hope in hell of looking better as a consequence. It was partlyjust to ta ke a consequence. It was partlyjust to take the Mickey Arthur of myself but it was also, and there was a slight political intention, in that this book, i have two confess, some ways, economic clearly way, demonises the baby boomer generation, of which i ama baby boomer generation, of which i am a member. I was putting myself in the book partly to admit that i am the book partly to admit that i am the kind of person that younger generations are going to have to carry. So it was kind of a mea culpa.

Lionel shriver, you give us a much to talk about. Thank you so much. Pleasure. Tonight at ten the desperate plight of the Tens Of Thousands of iraqi civilians trapped in street by street fighting in mosul. As people flee from so called Islamic State, some leave the city for the first time in their lives. Amid the destruction, the wreckage tells of more prosperous times. The citys university is now under iraqi control. It was a source of pride for the people of mosul, and you can see whats become of it. It was also a key strategic location for the so called Islamic State, it gave them high ground to dominate the area. Well be looking at the challenges facing iraqi troops as the push further into mosul. Also tonight the Drug Addictjailed for crashing a car into a family, killing two. He had over 50 previous convictions. The education secretary is jeered as she tries to tell Head Teachers about the benefits of grammar schools. The woman whose allegations of bullying in British Cycling sparked the current Investigation Talks to the bbc. For me all i want is the truth to be out there because its the truth and thats what people should know. Im in love with the shape of you. And, as ed sheeran has nine songs in the top 10, even he says its time to have a rethink about the charts. Coming up in Sportsday On Bbc News john surtees, the only man to win the formula one and motorcycle world titles has died aged 83. He won the fi championship in 1964. Good evening. Fears are growing for the Tens Of Thousands of civilians trapped in iraqs second city of mosul as Government Forces try to recapture it from so called Islamic State. 50,000 people have fled the west of the city over the last fortnight alone. After five months of fighting and heavy casualties, Iraqi Forces Control the east of the city, which is divided by the river tigris. Now theyre pushing deeper into the extremists stronghold in the west of mosul where civilians are hemmed in by the street to street fighting. 0ur correspondent, 0rla guerin, and cameraman, nico hameon, have just sent this report from the latest areas to be taken back from is control. Escaping the battleground and the terrors of the caliphate. Fleeing Western Mosul on foot during a lull in the battle. Countless numbers are likely to follow, their life reduced to a few bundles. Streets, now liberated, but deserted, many didnt leave until the fight came right to their door, like abdul razsack. At 76, forced to leave home for the first time in his life. He told us a mortar landed nearby, just moments before. His 10 year old grandson, and name sake, clutching his school bag though his only lessons here were in war. Id like to go back to school right this minute, he said. So called Islamic State stopped him going years ago. Now back in iraqi hands, for what its worth, several more neighbourhoods. Troops remain watchful. The militants are about a mile away. Explosion they were driven from here just four days ago. This is the Engineering Department of mosul university. 0n the is curriculum here, only fanatism and death. Well, this was a place of learning, it was a source of pride for the people of mosul, and you can see whats become of it. It was also a key strategic location for the so called Islamic State, it gave them high ground to dominate the area. It was heavily defended by uzbec fighters and this is just one of the areas thats going to have to be rebuilt when the Battle For Mosul is finally over. Some uzbec militants are still lying where they fell, no decent burial for those who terrorised a city. Nearby, a suicide belt they didnt manage to use. At dusk, iraqi forces gather for the next advance. Armoured vehicles give some protection against car bombs, but they wont fit in the narrower streets of the old city. Narrow. Troops move undercover of darkness and this time on foot. Hunting the extremists, who once controlled almost a third of iraq. Some of the hardest fighting may be ahead, going house to house and street to street beneath a sky lit only by embers of battle. In the pitch darkness few signs of life, but hundreds of thousands of civilians remain here, running low on food and water. Shagri abdullah and herfamily are sheltering in an abandoned house because theirs was destroyed. Three of her loved ones are in hospital, victims of a mortar attack. She shows us how they hid when is fighters stormed in to use them as human shields. 0ne went to the roof, she says, and he started to shoot. He attacked the army and we escaped from this store. Later we found another is still hiding here and they came and shot him in the head. Shagris neighbourhood has been reclaimed from the militants, but her life is changed utterly. We got our freedom, she says, but it cost us a lot. I lost my house and my children were injured. Her beloved mosul will never recover, she believes, not even in 30 years. What future for a broken city in a fractured nation even after the extremists are pushed out . There are fears that when Iraqis Finish Fighting is, they may begin fighting each other. 0rla guerin, bbc news, mosul. You can find lots more detail and information on the Battle For Mosul and the Wider Campaign against Islamic State in the middle east on the bbc news website. A drug addict who crashed a car into a family during a police chase in south london has been sentenced to 12 years in prison. Last august, joshua dobby lost control of a stolen car, killing 34 year old rosie cooper and her 10 year old nephew, Makayah Mcdermott and seriously injuring two other children. It emerged in Courtjoshua Dobby has 53 previous convictions, dating back to when he was 13. Tom symonds has more. It was a summers day, the family on their way to the park for ice cream when this car came skidding off the road, hitting a bollard and lifting it into the air and down on top of three children and their aunt. The aftermath was horrific. Little kids screaming, like. There were like 20 guys around this one car, they all lifting the car up and moved the car so everyone could come out. Rozanne cooper and Makayah Mcdermott stood no chance. He loved sport and acting. She was the mainstay of her family, the court was told. Joshua dobby tried to run. The court heard a statement from yahla mcdermott, whod been trapped under the car. Dobby stepped over her in his rush to escape. This stupid, ugly man, she said, has shattered my life and crushed my confidence. Shes i3 and her legs are badly scarred. Her family was disappointed with the 12 year sentence. We came here today to see justice done, and in the hope that joshua dobby would show remorse and sorrow for killing our beautiful rosie and our wonderful makayah. But he has shown none. They were taken from us with still many years of their lives to live. Five days before, kent police had chased dobby at up to 80 Miles Per Hour on open roads, but it was so risky officers stopped the pursuit. That didnt happen in built up london, though he was driving at high speed, the wrong way down one way streets. The independent Police Complaints commission is now investigating. But the judge said dobby, Whose Drug Addicted Life was as out of control as the car, deliberately drove dangerously, hoping the police would give up. Its rare for drivers who kill to be charged with manslaughter, with its maximum life sentence. Dobbys sentence, 12 years, was reduced because he pleaded guilty. The family of his victims arent happy, and thatjust shows how complex this area can be forjudges who have to decide the penalties when drivers kill on the roads. Tom symonds, bbc news, at the old bailey. The education secretary, justine greening, has been heckled by Head Teachers at their conference in birmingham as she defended the governments plans for more grammar schools. Her claim the policy would help disadvantaged children was jeered by delegates. Head teachers also warned that budget cuts are forcing schools in england to scrap gcse and a level courses and increase class sizes. As our education correspondent, gillian hargreaves, reports. Give me an example of a receptor. Peter woodman of the weald school might be a headteacher, but he still likes to work at the chalk face, teaching science, partly because he enjoys it, and partly because it saves money for his school. Hes one of scores of teachers who wrote to parents, warning of the impacts of cuts. I started with a school of moo students with 95 teachers. Next year in september i will have 1700 students and 95 teachers. Ive been cutting for eight years as it is. We are at a cliff edge. A poll of more than 1,000 Union Members found 72 said they had to remove gcse options or vocational subjects from the syllabus, while 79 said they had reduced their a level or vocational offering, and 82 say that class sizes have had to increase. Young musicians tuning up for teachers learn to play in less straitened times. Headteachers are generally a professional bunch, but they did jeer the education secretary when she said there are plans for more grammar schools, at a time when headteachers say there is not enough cash for existing schools. Such is the sensitivity around the issue, we were prevented from filming the speech. But it was caught on a mobile phone. Its really annoying to find government constantly saying that funding has never been higher. That is true, because we have more students and because of inflation. We have got an 8 cut and we are expected to continue delivering quality. It is absolutely dire. We are having to make cuts to our curriculum and it is untenable, really. The education secretary turned down our request for an interview. The government insists the £40 billion being spent on schools this year is the highest cash figure ever. But teachers maintain the money is not enough. Bt has bowed to demands to hive off 0penreach, the part of the business that runs the uks broadband infrastructure, into a separate company. The changes had been demanded by the Regulator 0fcom and rival companies, who have welcomed the move. They have accused bt of failing to invest enough in upgrading the broadband network. The woman whose allegations of bullying within British Cycling sparked a series of investigations has told the bbc shes relieved the truth is finally coming out. Medal winning track cyclist jess varnish has Given HerfirstBroadcast Interview after the leak of a Draft Independent report which criticises what it calls the dysfunctional and inept leadership of British Cycling, where bullying and sexism is tolerated. She was talking to dan roan. Representing great britain, jess varnish. Shes the medal winner who became a whistle blower. Jess varnishs allegations of sexism last year plunged British Cycling into crisis. And today, in herfirst Broadcast Interview since the scandal erupted, the 26 year old told me how tough it has been. Its been really, really hard. Ive been really low. Nothings been in control. Everythings been completely out of my control. I had nobody to turn to within the organisation. I was just sort of left on my own. Coach shane sutton, who dropped varnish from the squad for the rio 0lympics last year, was found to have used sexist language towards her but was cleared of eight allegations against him. He resigned but denies wrongdoing. When he told me that my career was over, he suggested for me to get on with having a baby. 0bviously, im not at that point just yet in my life, and i was a professional athlete at that point and that was my goal. What was that like when he told you that . It was horrible. I was like, what, i was completely in shock about it. I thought, what . Thank you. 0bviously. It isjust generally unprofessional and basically acting like he had nobody to answer to, like he was above everyone and everything. According to a draft report of an investigation leaked today, the findings of an internal review into varnishs allegations were reversed by British Cyclings board. I am sort of relieved that finally the truth is coming out, and i have been pulled from pillar to post. Just to get this and to actually see it was a cover up is huge. Why do you think they did that . Just to protect themselves and to protect the look of British Cycling. Its a lot easier for them to throw me under the bus, rather than the whole of British Cycling, and for the actual truth to come out. Today, British Cycling admitted it did not pay sufficient care and attention to the well being of staff, but said reforms were underway. Those who say it is sour grapes because you werent selected for rio, what is your response to that . When people say it is bitter, that is all they really have to say about me. If people knew me and see what i do with my life and how i have turned things around, they would know that i am not bitter at all. Should shane sutton work in Cycling Coaching again . From my experiences, no. Is your Cycling Career over . I dont have as much faith in it as i probably should, to go back into the programme. Whether things change in the future, as i said, nothing is off the table. She says she is now considering whether to sue British Cycling for unfair dismissal. Her fight for justice continues. They were a couple of tweets that have ended up costing the controversial daily mail columnist, Katie Hopkins nearly £125,000 in legal costs and damages. Shed suggested that a blogger, jack monroe, approved of vandalising war memorials, when there was no evidence of it. And the row ended up in the high court, as David Sillito explains. Jack monroe is a food blogger and campaigner. Throughout all of these tasks, i hope i have never trodden on anyone to get to where ive got. Oh, you have, you have. Oh, i hope i havent. Yes, you have. Katie hopkins made her name as an outspoken contestant on the show the apprentice. And shes turned that outspokenness into a career as a columnist with the mail and the sun. This on refugees provoked outrage. And they met on twitter. This tweet in may 2015 from Katie Hopkins to jack monroe asked her about scrawling on and vandalising a war memorial. Katie hopkins had sent the message to the wrong person. Jack monroe asked for an apology and a £5,000 donation to charity. It didnt come. Today, jack monroe walked from court, having won her 21 month libel battle. It really struck a nerve and i knew there was going to be a tidal wave coming of hate and abuse and vitriol, and i was right. If its a simple mistake, people apologise. Ive made mistakes on twitter and put my hands up and i say, im sorry, i was out of order, i hope we can move on. If she had done that two years ago we wouldnt be here today. Jack monroe says she is relieved rather than pleased. For Katie Hopkins . Two tweets on an evening in may two years ago have proved very expensive. £24,000 in damages and an extra £107,000 for Katie Hopkins in court costs. Its not the first time a tweet has led to legal action, but it certainly points out the risks. Generally, people are unaware, i think, that they are exposed to libel laws if they do tweet. But this case and others will help make that clearer to people, that when they do post online they are subject to the law like everybody else. A lesson then notjust for Katie Hopkins but anyone on social media. 0nline comments can be very costly. David sillito, bbc news. The controversy over the governments decision to go back on a manifesto pledge not to raise National Insurance contributions by doing just that in this weeks budget shows no sign of going away. Now a former Conservative Chancellor has added his to the criticism. Lets join chris mason at the treasury in central london. So Norman Lamont has weighed into the row. Yes. Its quite striking. He was chancellor over 20 years ago but he was critical in an article in the Daily Telegraph tomorrow of both David Cameron and Philip Hammond. He was critical of the conservative Election Manifesto in 2015 and the promise signed off by David Cameron that they would be no rise in income tax, vat or National Insurance. He said that was unwise in the extreme. He also criticises Philip Hammond for breaking that promise and using as the excuse for doing so pointing to the small print of the legislation to say it was not technically a breach of the rules. He says that voters do not really look at the small print. Awkward for Philip Hammond, because the conclusion from lord lamont is that this was an error associated with a lack of experience. So where is Philip Hammond . Well, it started well for him he thought on wednesday with the cheering and the jokes in the budget. Then he was clobbered by usually friendly newspapers yesterday, and now this from a predecessor, on top of a number of conservative mps being unearthed by the plans. The government is repeating that it says these changes are about making the tax system fairer, but it says they will listen to criticism over the summer before they draft a new law in the autumn. Tens of thousands of south koreans have come out onto the streets of the capital, seoul, after the countrys president was removed from office, following a corruption scandal. Supporters of park guen hye clashed with police, leaving two people dead and dozens injured. Her opponents celebrated into the night. Steve evans reports from seoul on the political turmoil engulfing the country. Amazing scenes outside court, as pro park protesters clashed with police. 0fficers struggled in a tug of war to stop a bus being turned over. Two protesters died. Moments earlier, inside court, President Park was sacked. The chiefjustice said the president had broken the law and the trust of the people. Tonight, anti park protesters have been holding a victory rally. I certainly felt shivers going down my spine and im sure im not the only one in south korea today to feel this way. Its such an extraordinary thing in the history of our country, to see a president removed through a democratic constitutional mechanism. In 2014 and 2015, park met the head of samsung. The court decided a deal was done. Samsung would give £30 million to parks best friend. In return, park got the National Pension fund to back a samsung merger. And samsung bought a horse for parks best friend. Price . 1 million. The country is now deeply divided. There will be an election within two months, and that may well end up with a more left wing government, which will be more accommodating towards north korea, and more antagonistic to the united states. For three months, protesters have chanted that President Park must go. Tonight, she spends her last night in the president ial palace. She may yet end up behind bars. Steven evans, bbc news, south korea. John surtees, the only man to win the formula one and Motorcycle Grand Prix titles, has died aged 83. In his ferrari, john surtees, number seven, going like a bomb. He started racing cars after winning multiple titles on two wheels. He took the F1 World Title in 1964. The commentator Murray Walker has paid tribute, saying that surtees was undoubtedly one of the greatest people who has ever lived in the history of motor sport. Union, and wales have beaten ireland in the six nations in cardiff. It was a convincing display by wales, with a late try. It means england can now win the championship if they beat scotland at twickenham tomorrow. If youre not an ed sheeran fan, then its probably not worth tuning into the Official Chart show on bbc radio 1. The Singer Songwriter has got a staggering nine songs in this weeks top ten and 16 in the top 20. And even he is thinking there should perhaps be a rethink about the way the charts are compiled. Heres will gompertz. Ed sheeran, singing shape of you, now in its ninth week at number one on the uks Official Chart, which, as of today, is dominated by the 26 year old Singer Songwriter from suffolk. In an unprecedented one man takeover of the singles chart, all 16 tracks from his new album, divide, are in the top 20. Lets be clear, ed sheeran would have had a storming week whatever system the Official Chart company used. The big difference now is not how many people buy a single by download or in physicalform, but how many people listen to it through streaming services, such as spotify and apple music, which also goes towards his chart position, by using this formula 150 streams of a track equals one sale. So this week, ed sheeran had 110 million streams of tracks from his new album, which, divided by 150, represents 733,000 sales, plus 164,000 downloads, and that was enough to give him 16 songs in the official top 20. I dont know if theres some weird things that spotify and apple music are going to have to change now with streaming, but i never expected to have nine songs in the top ten ever in my life, so i dont know. Somethings gone wrong. But i am very, very happy about it
