Good evening. Welcome to bbc news. The inquests have opened into the deaths of the eight people who were killed in a van and knife attack on London Bridge and in Borough Market two years ago. The chief coroner told the old bailey that lives had been torn apart in what he called less than ten minutes of high and terrible drama. The first two people were killed when a van was driven into pedestrians on London Bridge, just after ten oclock on the third ofjune 2017. The attackers then crashed the van into railings, got out and ran through crowds of people stabbing six others to death, before they were shot dead by police near Borough Market. It all happened injust nine minutes. The victims families were at the old bailey as the inquests began as our Home Affairs Correspondent Daniel Sandford reports. Clear the area now it was earlyjune 2017, saturday night, and Central London was enduring the third major attack on the uk that year. Gunfire. What the chief coroner called today less then ten minutes of high and terrible drama. Arriving at the old bailey this morning, the families of the eight people killed. They came for the inquests from all over the world london, france, canada, australia. Among them, the mother and father of 21 year old sara zelenak, who was in london to work as an au pair. There is the last picture she sent them before the news came that shed been stabbed to death in Borough Market. Ifelt like id had a heart attack, i couldnt breathe, it was the most horrendous feeling that you could ever imagine. Youre broken forever, its horrendous, the pain that you feel, and we cant make her come home, and ijust want to stop other people having this horrific grief. In court, the father ofjames mcmullan, the only british victim, told the court, his personality was magnetic, he was funny, he was charming, he was clever, he was unique. Xavier thomas father, philippe pesez, said the coroner, he still had so much to give. Barbarians, who in no way can be described as human, took his life. Kirsty boden, an australian nurse, was helping others when she was stabbed. Her boyfriend, james hodder, said, we are so unspeakably proud of her, and not a day goes by that were not in awe of her bravery that night. The court heard that Chrissy Archibald had just kissed her boyfriend when she was struck, while another victim, alexandre pigeard, was a music loving waiter, and Ignacio Echeverria was fighting the attackers with his skateboard when he was stabbed to death. Sebastien belangers mother said she could not forgive the men who killed him. And what is worse, khuram butt, who led the murderous assault, had long been on an m15 list of men suspected of planning attacks. The families of the eight people who died that night are looking to these inquests for answers as to how it was that a man that was so well known to m15 was able to organise the attack, and how it was that barriers like these, which would have protected pedestrians, still hadnt been installed here more than ten weeks after the Westminster Bridge attack. But these inquests will also hear details of acts of remarkable heroism by both civilians and Police Officers that night. Daniel sandford, bbc news, at the old bailey. The government has conceded that the brexit deadlock means the uk will now have to take part in elections for the European Parliament. Ministers had hoped that talks with labour would have resulted in a compromise brexit deal by now. Talks have resumed but theres still no agreement which means the european elections will now go ahead in a fortnight. Laura kuenssberg reports. Hackles up, territory to defend. Its notjust the Prime Ministers cat thats been holding the line on brexit. The lack of agreement so far means european elections will go ahead. We will be redoubling our efforts in talks with mps of all parties to try to make sure that the delay after that is as short as possible. Ideally, wed like to be in a situation where those meps from the uk never actually have to take their seats in the European Parliament, and certainly to get this done and dusted by the summer recess. The way out could be talks with labour, marching to the table again in whitehall. There might be logic for both leaderships and doing a deal together, but its a long way off. We expect to make compromises, but without a government willing to make compromise, it is difficult to see how an agreement can be reached. After several hours of talks, number ten said the talks had been constructive and detailed. But labour said they had been robust often political speakfor difficult. With one source even ministers were disingenuous for claiming they were really offering anything new on the vexed issue of customs, which has been such a troubled issue for sides of this debate. They will talk again tomorrow, but dont bet on this process agreeing anything soon. Both the tories and labour fell way short at the local elections last week, but working with the enemy is a risk for their own parties too. We have to deal with where we are, not where we would like to be, and i dont think a Customs Union will deliver what we promised. Does sitting down with labour make it easier or harder for may to get this through . It might be easier to get it through parliament, but with labour votes, i dont know what that means for government afterwards. The Prime Minister needs some nifty diplomacy at home, but look whos on the case abroad. The new grandfather insisting in berlin that, after brexit, well still be friends. Whatever is negotiated and agreed between governments and institutions, it is more clear to me than it has ever been that the bonds between us will and must endure. The Prime Minister has few friends in high places. With doubts about her leadership, it will take more than gladhanding at home to bring this crisis to an end. Laura kuenssberg, bbc news, westminster. Two journalists from the reuters news agency, whod been imprisoned in myanmar in an attack on press freedom, have been released.

South africa goes to the polls tomorrow for its sixth democratic election since Nelson Mandela became the first black president 119911. But the party he led the African National congress is under pressure because of corruption. Former president , the ancs jacob zuma was ousted last year accused of looting state funds and awarding contracts for cash. His successor, cyril ramaphosa, has promised dishonest officials will be jailed. 0ur africa editor, fergal keane, reports from the campaign trail. Tropical durban, south africas tourist playground, is a political battle ground, where the party of mandela is fighting a bitter internal struggle in the midst of a president ial election. This man, president cyril ramaphosa, is promising to clean out endemic corruption in the anc. They sing. First stop of the president s day, a tourism conference, and the National Anthem of a people longing for a moral revolution, ramaphosa humorously reminding them whose legacy hes claiming. Coming to durban, i thought i should wear a madiba shirt, the type of shirt that Nelson Mandela used to wear. And they said, no, no, no, that wouldnt be appropriate, wear a suit and look president ial. Ramaphosa is in a hurry to undo an entire system of official corruption. 0n durbans streets, workers protest over anc misrule. Across south africa, theres fury over whats been stolen. Billions have been lost in bribes paid to top officials, lucrative tenders, profits from state enterprises, handed to cronies of the former president , jacob zuma. All this with unemployment running at 27 , and deepening disillusionment in the slum like foreman road, where they wait forjobs and proper homes. This woman is a mother of three who runs a roadside stall. How long have you lived in this place . 20 years now. 20 years . Yeah. 20 years, youve lived here . Yeah. Will you ever get out of here . She laughs. Mqapheli bonono was a long time anc activist here, but quit in disgust over the growing corruption. The worst thing about corruption is when you see the conditions people are living in getting worse. We blame the government because the government are the ones who were supposed to be responsible. The anc can still rally the crowds, this near durban, and is expected to win, but has lost support to more radical alternatives. And when president ramaphosa arrived at the rally, i put to him the question id heard from numerous south africans. Can you save this country from the crooks trying to destroy it . Well, the ancs going to win this election, and as we win the election, we are going to proceed with a process of renewal. Weve got to go now, because the people have been waiting. For renewal, read purge and prosecutions. But look at whos leading the welcoming party to see mr ramaphosas challenge. Durbans mayor, zandile gumede, denies numerous allegations of corruption against her, and this official was recently forced to deny hed ordered the killing of a party comrade. Cyril ramaphosa is the popular leader of a party thats losing popularity. Thats because he has pledged to defeat corruption. But can he do it, given how pervasive the rot is within his own party and almost every level of government . Winning the election may be the least of his battles. Fergal keane, bbc news, durban. A paralysed man who lives with constant pain has began a fresh legal challenge to the law that bans anyone helping him to take his own life. 63 year old paul lamb from leeds lost a case at the Supreme Court in 2014, but argues that public and professional medical opinion on assisted dying has changed. Our Legal Correspondent Clive Coleman reports. This was a young, fit paul lamb 30 years ago, before he was paralysed from the neck down in a car crash. Now in constant pain, he wants to be able to end his life at a time he chooses, but hed need medical help, and any doctor providing it could face prosecution and a sentence of up to 1a years. When its bad, its like ive been smashed on the back of my neck with a baseball bat. The worst thing in the world is for somebody to say, youre going to be in pain for the rest of your life, and im going to make sure youre here for a lot of years. It somewhat can be construed as torture. In 2014, paul lost a case at the Supreme Court. Two out of nine judges said they would have made a declaration that the current law on assisted suicide breached his human rights, but overall, the court said parliament should reconsider the law and soon. In 2015, amidst heated public debate. We want choice . Mps comprehensively rejected a bill that would have legalised assisted dying for the terminally ill who had less than six months to live. But paul lambs case is different. Though incurably suffering, hes not terminally ill, and he argues that, since his last challenge, more people favour legalising assisted dying. Countries like canada have adopted it, the Royal College of physicians has dropped its opposition, and parliament has failed to consider cases like his. But some see real danger to any change in the law. Legalising it is going to be dangerous for us all and has to be resisted. Its resisted for able bodied people, its against the law to help somebody commit suicide, and it needs to be the same for us. Pauls challenge is the next stage of the complex journey in deciding where the law should stand on the rights of those who wish to end their lives, but need help to do so. Clive coleman, bbc news. A british soldier has died after being trampled by an elephant while on an anti poaching operation in malawi. Guardsman mathew talbot, who was serving on his first deployment with the First Battalion coldstream guards, was on a patrol when he was killed by the animal. His Commanding Officer described him as determined and big hearted. Police are continuing to question a 34 year old man, whos been arrested over the abduction of two girls, and is being investigated for a string of other attacks around the country. Joseph mccann was arrested in cheshire on sunday. Hes being questioned over seven incidents across england, including the rape of an 11 year old boy and a 71 year old woman. Detectives investigating the discovery of two women in a freezer in canning town in east london have identified the second victim. Shes been named as Henriett Szucs a Hungarian National who had been in the uk for several years. Scotland yard said her next of kin have been informed but formal identification has not yet taken place. A government backed review says there is too much variation in why some pupils are excluded from schools in england. One of the recommendations of the study is that schools should remain accountable for pupils they expel by including their exam results in league table rankings. Frankie mccamley reports from grimsby on the reasons why children are being pushed out of Mainstream Schools. Eight times ten. Brody was excluded from Mainstream School following poor attendance and behavioural issues. I would swear a lot, and i would shout things across the classroom, throw chairs around if i didnt get my own way. But now, theres no point. You might as well get on with your work. You get rewarded if you do. The small classroom sizes here help scarlett concentrate. Im a lot, like, happier. Im a different person. It makes me feel happy. Theyre now at a school for children in grimsby which provides specialist support. We see a lot of young people referred to us that are becoming more and more disaffected with education, in situations where young people are continually rejected. And actually, their self esteem is rock bottom when theyjoin us. You know, when were able to work with the families and the young person, we can achieve some really good successes, and some of those are returning to Mainstream School. The government backed review found its some of the most vulnerable pupils most at risk of exclusion. 78 have special needs or receive free school meals. Of those, only 4. 5 gain good gcses in english and maths and just over a third and up not in educational training. The majority of schools are well motivated to make good decisions on behalf of children who are struggling or at risk of exclusion. If we have aspects of the system which are making it easier for them to take that option, without really thinking through whether it really is the last resort for that child, then weve clearly not got the system working properly. Schools are already being held to account for their academic performance, but what the report today is calling for is even more accountability when it comes to the children they exclude. Heads, though, say they want to continue to step in and challenge bad behaviour in order to maintain a safe and productive environment. Parents expect that their child goes to a school where their child is safe, where their child can learn and where learning is not routinely disrupted. The government is looking at how it can attract more high quality staff to schools like this one as it drafts new guidelines to create a more consistent approach to excluding pupils.

I hope the next few days, they can settle down and enjoy having a newborn in the family and all the joys that come with that. 0utside windsor castle, the stalwarts who love these events were entertaining the tourists and the media. All that was missing, really, was a sight of the sussexes and their son. That will have to wait. Harry and meghan remain determined that this is one event over which they want to have control. And that determination to control the message has yielded several, well, oddities. It now appears that baby sussex was not born at home, as everyone was left to believe, but at this exclusive private hospital in Central London. Whether that was harry and meghans plan all along is unclear. But a babys place of birth has to be recorded on its birth certificate. She sings. Now what the sussexes may feel they need is a lullaby.
