That resulted in a woman being killed by a car was for to abandon a Media Briefing following protests. Meanwhile the white house defended President Trump after it was claimed he didnt go far enough in condemning violence by White Supremacists. Laura bicker reports. 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. He promised to keep politics out of the pulpit, but there is a message he felt he had to give. It is about politics in that the political rhetoric in this country today is breeding bigotry. The streets here simmered with tension yesterday before finally erupting into violence, as White Supremacists gathered for a rally. The group, which included members of the klu klux klan, said they wanted to take america back. Counter protesters and anti racism activists challenged them. Police tried to disperse the crowd but this day was not to end peacefully. A car, at speed, rammed into protesters. Shocked witnesses captured the aftermath. The crash killed 32 year old heather heyer, who had fought racism all her adult life. Many others are still being treated in hospital. Those who captured the scene on camera said they were not shocked the day ended in tragedy. The police have charged a 20 year old James Alex Fields Junior with Second Degree murder. The nazis who came to Town Yesterday clearly had the intent of causing violence. You dont come to town with shields and helmets and weapons and have a militia with automatic or semiautomatic weapons around their shoulders if you are here to peacefully express an opinion. Others, who have lived here all their lives, say the scenes do not represent charlottesville, and they want politicians to challenge those responsible. It is important to call these people what they are White Supremacists. I dont understand why that is so difficult, that is what they are. Theyre not hiding this behind a statue, they didnt come here because of a statue, they came here because just as david duke said yesterday, they came here to fulfil the promise of President Trump and take their country back. This city did not want bigotry on its streets. Its people now want to remember those who died trying to challenge it and to keep the peace. Well, within the last couple of hours, jason kessler, one of the organisers of the unite the right rally, has been giving a statement about the trouble that flared up at the weekend. But that Media Briefing had to be cut short after protests. The bbcs joel gunter is in Cha Rlottesville and sent us this update. Were in Downtown Charlottesville where jason kessler, the organiser of yesterdays White Nationalist rally, tried to give a Press Conference but he was drowned out by shouts from the cloud of shame and thug and murderer. He spoke for a few minutes before the cloud chased off the street. He was met riot police who got into the police station. The riot police formed a Defensive Line with shields and it looks like kessler has now been taken out in an armoured vehicle. There are still a large group of protesters on the streets making speeches. Tensions in Cha Rlottesville speeches. Tensions in charlottesville remain high. There is no imminent threat of a nuclear war with north korea so says the director of the cia, mike pompeo, amid heightened tensions in the region. Mr pompeo says the Us Intelligence had a good idea of what was going on in pyongyang and that he wouldnt be surprised if it carried out another missile test. Meanwhile, the head of the us military, generaljoseph dunford, has arrived in south korea for talks on the two countries defence alliance, as well as north Koreas Nuclear and missile threats. He will meet president moonjae in and the Defence Minister on monday. General dunford will also visit china and japan to discuss the crisis. Richard galpin reports. On the Pacific Island of guam, people turned out in large numbers on sunday to pray for peace. They are now potentially in the firing line as the stand off between the us and north korea continues. Pyongyang has threatened to fire missiles toward this island which is home to major us military bases. Were here to pray for leaders of those countries to remain calm and think about the people and the lives of the people we have here. In japan anti Aircraft Systems were deployed at the weekend to shoot down any north korean missiles aimed at guam. This area of Southern Japan would lie on the flight path. This is the most serious crisis in the region since the end of the korean war in the 1950s, according to some military experts. There is a real risk by miscalculation probably more than anything else and by rather unbalanced rhetoric of something happening that no one intends and i think it is very dangerous, i think we are closer to there being some sort of fighting in the Korean Peninsula than we have been since the ceasefire in 1952. Despite this, us President Donald Trump is not turning down his rhetoric, including his recent statement that the us military was locked and loaded. I hope that they are going to fully understand the gravity of what i said and what i said is what i mean so hopefully they will understand exactly what i said and the meaning of those words, those words are very easy to understand. On monday the us most senior general, joseph dunford, will be in the south korean capital for meetings with the government there. The americans say there is no imminent threat of conflict and the diplomatic track is continuing. But tensions are likely to rise even higher in a weeks time when yet more planned military exercises involving the us and south Korean Armed Forces take place in the region. Another show of force to try to convince north korea to halt its Nuclear Weapons programme.

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 that any 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. Not always heading in the same direction. While the chancellor Philip Hammond Wanted Britain to stay in the eu, trade secretary liam fox has long believed in brexit, and in headlines over the summer, their disagreements over what should happen after britain leaves the eu in march 2019 have been clear. 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 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 though someone has said to mr fox and mr hammond we need to see unity. The Customs Union sets eu wide 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, jobs, and prosperity in britain. Its in brussels all this will have to be hammered out. The eu insists progress must be made in 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. Shooting stars littered the sky last night as the Perseid Meteor Shower was at its peak over the uk. Youve been sending in your pictures from around the country. Up to 100 Shooting Stars an hour were visible, theres another opportunity to see the display tonight. Thats all for now. Thanks for watching. Good evening. It really has been a gorgeous day for many of us with lots of blue sky and lots of sunshine coming through. I hope you managed to get out and enjoy. Just take a look at this fabulous weather watchers picture down in kent this afternoon. As you can see, very, very pleasant indeed along the coast. And in fact we saw highs just to the west of london of 23 celsius. As we went through the day we had a scattering of showers into scotland and cloud and Rain Gathering out in the west. The sign of what is to come as we move through the night tonight and into tomorrow. All change for most of us as the wet and often windy weather starts to push in across Northern Ireland and into western scotland. Certainly more cloud around tonight, not as cold. Best chance of seeing the Perseid Meteor Shower the further east you are. We will start off with a lot of rain, some of it quite heavy through Scotland First thing in the morning. The rain already starting to clear away to showers through Northern Ireland, but some of it quite persistent across the isle of man and into the lake district. A West East Divide through northern england. Rain to the west of the pennines, dry to the east. Certainly that rain will be down into wales and the South West Of England as well. We will start off some sunshine in the South East Corner and east anglia. You may well cling on to the sun for much of the day. The cloud will thicken all the time up through the spine of the country into the midlands. We will see outbreaks of rain, albeit light and patchy moving in. Some showers developing into Northern Ireland. Some of those could be heavy, possibly thundery by the middle of the afternoon. In terms of the feel of things, disappointing to the north and west. 15 to 18 celsius. Highest values again, just like today, of 23 in the South East Corner. But that rain will arrive. It will gradually sweep its way steadily eastwards overnight monday into tuesday. Not too much significant rainfall across the south east and then clearing behind to a trail of showers. But tuesday looks reasonably promising. Most of the rain will have cleared out of the way through the night. Some of the showers again could still be quite heavy and possibly thundery. 16 to 18 celsius in the north, but again we will keep 23 celsius in the South East Corner. A little transient ridge of High Pressure tries to build, but not for long before another area of low pressure starts to threaten. But it does look as though on the whole wednesday will be a slightly quieter day before more rain arrives. This week is a little complicated. There will be some sunny spells, some of the showers really quite heavy indeed, and turning Just A Little Bit cooler later. This is bbc world news. The headlines. Theres been dramatic scenes in the us city of charlottesville after an organiser of saturdays far right rally was heckled and forced away from the microphone by Opposition Protesters as he tried to give a News Conference.
