Towards them when he was artistic director of londons Old Vic Theatre. And we have a glimpse of the biggest Archaeological Museum in the world, due to open near cairo next year. And coming up on sportsday on bbc news playing himself into ashes contention. Opener Mark Stoneman hit the First Century of englands tour as the tourists find their feet down under. Good evening. Robert mugabe, the worlds oldest head of state, is refusing to resign as president of zimbabwe, a day after the military took control of the countrys government. Mr mugabe, whos accused of countless abuses of power during his 37 years in office, is under house arrest and has been discussing his future with regional negotiators and the head of the army. The opposition leader, morgan tsvangirai, has called on mr mugabe to resign immediately. Our africa correspondent Andrew Harding is in zimbabwe and sent this report. This report contains some flashing images. He is a frail 93 year old under house arrest. But tonight, new photos of president Robert Mugabe did not show a broken man. Far from it. The generals may have seized power in zimbabwe, but now they want mr mugabes blessing. Its a surreal time for a troubled country. On the streets of the capital we found only a few hints of yesterdays military coup. And, for the most part, an anxious calm. So, whats going on . In a sense, this is all about mrs mugabe. The army intervened here purely to stop her succeeding her husband as president. A dramatic move in a power struggle that has steadily intensified as mr mugabe has grown older. Today, as convoys are spotted rushing between rival camps, the aim is to cut a deal that sidelines grace mugabe and allows the president to step down with at least some dignity. Mugabe needs to be persuaded to resign, thats the obvious route to take. If one starts taking the impeachment route, the ill health route, trying to get the parliamentary vote, this could be a long and protracted process, and the outcome could be uncertain. As the haggling continues, we head far out of harare into a poor neighbourhood to judge the mood. You can really feel the sense of anticipation here, zimbabweans, many zimbabweans, are ready to celebrate the departure of the only president theyve ever known. And yet, people are also very aware that politics is a dangerous business, and theres a lot of fear here. Are people still scared here . People are very much scared. Even now . Even now. Which is why you dont see big celebrations . Of course. Thats the reason. Do you think that can change . Erm. Yeah, it can, it can change. Many here blame mr mugabe personally for the struggle their lives have become. Has he been bad for business . Sure. Why . Were having no tourism. Nojobs. No schools. But there seems little appetite for vengeance. In fact, plenty of zimbabweans still respect mr mugabe. We dont blame the president , but we blame the criminals that are surrounding him, and are the ones that are making this situation very bad. But back in harare some of president mugabes oldest rivals now fear hell dig his heels in and play for time. In the interest of the people of zimbabwe, mr Robert Mugabe must resign. Step down immediately in line with the National Sentiment and expectation. And so, for now, a nation waits and wonders if and when zimbabwes smiling prisoner will accept defeat. Andrew harding, bbc news, harare. Lets go live to harare and our zimbabwe correspondent Shingai Nyoka is there for us. What is your sense of the view on the streets of the capital . Do people think the mugabe era is now over . Well, they simply dont know whether this is the end. The last 48 hours has been unprecedented and its caught many zimbabweans unprecedented and its caught many zi m ba bwea ns totally unprecedented and its caught many zimbabweans totally off guard. Theyve never witnessed anything like this before. They are not sure how they should respond. After all, Robert Mugabe is synonymous with zimbabwe and has never been won without the other and for many of them hes the only leader theyve ever known. Those that i spoke to on the street today say they are waiting and watching, but they are also going about their daily business because they dont have a choice. The economy no resilience, but the overriding sentiment is that they want change. The military tanks and soldiers on the street, but no one seems to be questioning whether this is the change that they want. Thank you very much again for the analysis from harare, Shingai Nyoka, oui analysis from harare, Shingai Nyoka, our harare correspondent. The metropolitan police has announced what it says is a final figure for the number of People Killed in the fire in Grenfell Tower in west london injune this year. Officers say 71 victims have been formally identified, while 223 other people who were in the block at the time have been accounted for. In the days following the fire there were persistent concerns that the true casualty figures were much higher. Scotland yard said some victims were reported missing twice, as our correspondent Elaine Dunkley reports. It was a night of unprecedented horror. As people escaped the flames of the Grenfell Tower, they feared for those who couldnt get out. Many believed the initial death toll would be in the hundreds, but today, the Police Confirmed that 71 people in total lost their lives. A little bit of closure that now everyone has been identified. Amongst them, karim mussilhys uncle, hesham rahman. We have to accept it at face value. People are going to question it, but now its all about getting justice for the people that lost their lives that night. Identifying those that died has been a mammoth task, meticulously carried out by investigators. Today, the final two victims of grenfell were named, 71 year old victoria king and her daughter, alexandra atala. The challenge of it has been immense. We have had our specialist teams work through about 15 and a half tonnes of debris on each floor of Grenfell Tower by hand to find every single fragment that they can of all those that died. That has been extremely distressing to the families and indeed to those involved in the operation as well. Initially in the days following the fire, there were thousands of calls. 400 people were reported missing amongst the confusion. As the months have gone by, police have said that number would be closer to 80, and today, final confirmation that its lower. But this isnt about a number, its about the human cost, and recognising every life that has been lost. Artist khadija saye died in the fire along with her mother, mary mendy, on the 20th floor. Our lives havent been the same since june 14th. Were fortunate, we had bodies to bury. A lot of people didnt have bodies. But weve got to look forward as well. The public enquiry, everyone is aware of the negligence and inhumanity of society, greed, negligence. Concerns were raised many years before this fire. And i think, had people sat up and taken more notice, this could have been prevented. Today perhaps marks a significant milestone, but time cannot heal when so many feel they are so far from the truth. This community will not rest until there are answers for those that survived, and justice for the 71 lives lost in this tragedy. Elaine dunkley, bbc news. The communities secretary sajid javid has said housing will be a central element of next weeks budget. Mrjavid has set out a number of measures to try to increase the number of new homes being built, including changes to encourage Housing Associations to borrow money for projects and forcing local authorities in england to take action. Labour said the government still did not have a coherent plan. Our home editor mark easton has more details. After building the fewest social homes since the Second World War, the Prime Minister had tea with Council House tenants rita and val today, to illustrate how providing Affordable Homes is now her personal mission. The government is clear. We want more people to be able to be able have the security of a roof over their head, their own home, for themselves and their family. Meanwhile, the communities secretary in bristol today was stressing how united the government is on building a lot more homes. Im totally committed to building more of the right homes in the right places at the right prices. So is the Prime Minister. So is the chancellor. Its the chancellor as much as voters whos really the focus of todays choreographed government activity on housing. Number ten and the Communities Department have been urging the treasury to do Something Big on housing in next weeks budget. The signs are all that lobbying may have paid off. Today, Housing Associations in england non profit organisations which provide most social and Affordable Homes were officially redesignated as private bodies, which means that £63 billion of borrowing moves off the Public Sector balance sheet. And some think that gives the chancellor a bit more flexibility ahead of his budget next week. So what would Housing Associations like to see him do . Its really great to see that housing is at the top of the political agenda. Were hoping to see more help for social housing. If we build a social rented home, it takes us 30 years before we get that money back, so we need help in the form of land which is affordable for the rents we need to charge, or in terms of some kind of money subsidy. And what does the Labour Party Think is the chancellors challenge . Homelessness has gone up 50 since this government has been in power. Rough sleeping in our cities has been doubled. Overcrowding like weve not seen for generations now. This is a crisis thats got to be tackled. Some in government and some even in the conservative party recognise that, but Philip Hammond doesnt seem to. The government is giving a big build up to a budget on building. But many in the housing sector say theyve heard it all before, and even the chancellors warning theres no Silver Bullet to providing the homes britain needs. Mark easton, bbc news. The Prime Minister is to hold talks tomorrow with the president of the European Council and the Prime Minister of ireland, as she seeks a significant step forward in the brexit negotiations. Tonight, on the eve of the european summit, the brexit secretary david davis, speaking in berlin, warned that putting politics above prosperity in the brexit negotiations was not a smart choice. Our Political EditorLaura Kuenssberg is in berlin tonight. Its a notably bullish message from david davis. How do we square that with what is actually going on . Its almost as if david davis tonight told the rest of the eu, its not me, its you, warning them not to put their political priorities, the political sanctity of the eu ahead of the livelihoods of their people and put that in the way of a good deal between britain and the rest of the eu that keeps our trade links going. I think that betrays the frustration that is felt in some parts of the uk government at what they see as a pretty hardline approach being taken, particularly in berlin and in paris. But its provocative to come here, to the eus powerhouse, to make that case. Its pressel provocative as well to say its the other side that has to say its the other side that has to be more flexible than the consensus and in other european capitals is that its for britain to be the one who compromises, for britain as a matter of urgency in the next couple of weeks to make a promise that we are prepared to stump upa promise that we are prepared to stump up a bit more cash in order to get on with all of this. But on that crucial issue there was no new offer in david davis hands tonight. He was reticent and pretty silent on that vexatious issue. But he was clearer on which could cause a bit of trouble at home, was that the European Court would be the ones in charge during a two year transition period after we leave the eu. Theres a small but noisy of brexiteers on the tory backbenches for whom that is not acceptable and that could cause trouble at home. The trouble at home and all the chaos of the last few weeks of course hasnt gone unnoticed here and when asked about that here in berlin tonight, david davis tried to shrug it off. He said, its been a period of turbulence, but im sure that it will pass. But with everything thats going on around the continent and back in westminster, im not certain he can be so sure. Laura, many thanks for the latest in berlin, Laura Kuenssberg. Police investigating the disappearance of a teenager from dorset, gaia pope, have arrested a 49 year old man on suspicion of murder.

Saudi arabia has denied that its imposed a blockade on yemen, where millions of people are facing famine. The Saudi Foreign minister has told the bbc that the blame for the crisis lies with rebel groups in yemen. The un says that thousands of civilians, including many children, will die unless aid is allowed into the country. The crisis began in 2015, when Houthi Rebels backed by iran ousted the president and took control of much of the country. A Coalition Led by saudi arabia then began a campaign of air strikes to try to restore the government. The saudis have now cut off access to the International Airport and to major red sea ports, including al hudaydah, to try to cut off supplies to the rebels. Our chief International Correspondent
