They gathered near zimba bwes parliament, where a move to impeach their leader of nearly four decades is under way. The army, overseeing the process, but still no sign from Robert Mugabe himself that hes ready to resign. The thing in a way it isa ready to resign. The thing in a way it is a very painful process. Zimbabwe was mugabe, mugabe was zimbabwe. Now a remarkable claim from the man once his deputy, the former Vice President here being sworn in but sacked two weeks ago, a move that precipitated the current crisis. In a statement sent from an undisclosed location, Emmerson Mnangagwa accused mugabe of planning to have him killed. He said he would not return until mugabe was out of power because he did not trust his life in president mugabes hands. In rural zimbabwe where Robert Mugabes controversial land reform is hit productivity, there also seems to be a consensus that it is time for the president to step down. That call, mirrored by veterans. Once his allies in war against colonial rule. We are saying to mugabe smell the coffee, your time is gone. Use your dignity, you have ruled long enough. Throw in the towel, let the country be given a clear signal that it can start on a new page. You are the biggest hindrance to the country moving on.

Meantime there are activists demonstrating outside parliament with a carnival atmosphere there. Lets talk to one of those protesters who has come up here to talk to me. Do you think you will be impeached now, and how important is that . I think he will be impeached, a motion has been approved by parliament and we are here protesting and demanding our members of parliament to impeach mugabe because there is no other option. And really amazing that you have the freedom now to demonstrate like this. In the past you would have been arrested or even beaten. Yes, we are actually calling it an Impeachment Party today. It has turned into Freedom Square today. For the past few days, president mugabe has been stubbornly resisting increasing pressure on him to resign from the people, from his own party, zanu pf, and from the army.

It needs a two thirds vote from both houses, that could come soon in the next couple of days. We will bring you the latest as it happens on bbc news. An investigation into alleged data manipulation at a Forensics Laboratory used by Police Across the country has uncovered 10,000 cases which may have been affected. The problem has already led to about 50 prosecutions being ended, but there are fears there could be many more. The suspected manipulation by employees emerged earlier this year when a data anomaly in a drug driving case was reported. Lets speak to our Home Affairs Correspondent daniel sandford. Tell us more. As many people know, Forensic Science is at the heart of the criminal justice system. Science is at the heart of the criminaljustice system. Many cases rely on the decisions made by forensic scientists in order to decide whether somebody is guilty or innocent of crime and this is perhaps the most damaging example of that system being undermined, certainly in terms of the number of cases that have been affected. Around 10,000 cases of drug testing are now regarded as unreliable. The good news is that as the system has worked through those cases and tried to work out where there may be the most serious incidences of miscarriages ofjustice, theyre actually havent been many cases that have come to light. Around 50 live cases which were due to come to the courts have now been discontinued. The Crown Prosecution Service has decided not to continue with those and there are two cases where people have been convicted of death by careless driving which are now going back to the court of appeal, but certainly this has been something that has severely undermined confidence in the system and that will take some rebuilding. Daniel, thank you. Senior cabinet ministers have agreed that britain should increase its financial offer to the eu the so called brexit divorce bill, but the offer will stand only if Member States agree next month to move on to talks about trade and an implementation period. This morning, the brexit secretary repeated his intention to reach a deal but said ministers were also prepared for no deal. Our Political Correspondent alex forsyth reports from westminster. How much is what you want worth . The uk is preparing to increase the amount it will pay to the eu to settle its accounts but only if in return brexit talks move on to trade. We are ready to move on phase two, to see those talks about a deep and special partnership with the eu for the future, a comprehensive trade agreement with the eu for the future which is in the interests of the uk and the remaining eu 27. While there is no officialfigure, it is thought senior ministers agreed to increase the offer last night, including some brexiteers in the cabinet although some on the backbenchers warned agreeing too much too early would give the eu an advantage. Its as if they want us to pay the ransom money but still be hostage to the European Union. Michel barnier must recognise we are leaving the European Union and will only pay what we are jukes. Leaving the European Union and will only pay what we are jukes. For others, the priority is getting things moving. You dont go into a pub, order a round things moving. You dont go into a pub, ordera round of things moving. You dont go into a pub, order a round of drinks, things moving. You dont go into a pub, ordera round of drinks, decide you dont want them, walk out and not pay for it so its important we accept that as a principal, hopefully get a formula to express that but then move on. Eu leaders wa nted that but then move on. Eu leaders wanted sufficient progress in three areas before agreeing to talk trade. The so called divorce bill, the question of the irish border, and citizen s rights. It remains to be seen whether any offer number ten has on payment will be enough but the government is clear it is prepared to move but only if the eu does too. The brexit secretary said todayit does too. The brexit secretary said today it is not possible to agree all aspects of the so called separation without discussing future relations. The Northern Irish border cannot be addressed if we cannot ta ke cannot be addressed if we cannot take into account the shape of our future partnership with the European Union. Financial settlement depends on it because nothing is agreed until everything is agreed. The way forward is still uncertain and today there was a warning to some not to use the delicate issue of the irish border as a negotiating tool. You dont play around with Northern Ireland to effect change in other places, and actually i would like to see the Irish Government working with Northern Ireland and the westminster government to bring about a brexit that works for Northern Ireland but also for the republic of ireland. Getting a deal is what all sides want. It seems someone is going to have to give a little but no one is prepared to pay any price. Lets speak to our our assistant Political Editor norman smith. Norman, how is all of this being received . So far, there have been no cries of betrayal or treachery directed at borisjohnson betrayal or treachery directed at Boris Johnson and michael gove, betrayal or treachery directed at borisjohnson and michael gove, the brexiteers in the cabinet, but there isa brexiteers in the cabinet, but there is a clear contrast between their sta nce is a clear contrast between their stance and the views of brexiteers on backbenchers where many are up in arms at the idea of paying billions more to the eu as part of these divorce negotiations. Won this morning saying we need to be able to look our constituents in the eye at the time of tight public spending constraints. Others take the view of the eu is in turmoil because of the uncertainty surrounding the german chancellors position and she is central to agreeing any progress in talks so better to sit back and let the eu sweat it out. Borisjohnson and michael gove however have decided more cash has to be put on the table if we are to press on to trade talks, even though no figure is likely to be unveiled until the very last moment. As for mrs may, i think she can probably talk this one down as a bit of a win because she has bounced the brexiteers in the cabinet into backing her, when they could have sided with their backbenchers and torpedoed any deal. Whether the eu negotiators will be similarly accommodating, we will find out soon enough. Norman, thank you. A Drugs Company has been accused of overcharging the nhs by millions of pounds a year for a key thyroid treatment. The competition and markets authority claims that concordia abused its position. It says the nhs spent £34 million on a thyroid drug last year, up from around £600,000 in 2006. Concordia says it does not believe competition law has been infringed. Our Health Editor hugh pym is here. Thats an enormous leap in price for the same drug. Hows that happened . The way the Drugs Industry works is that if you have the patent to a drug it is your exclusive product and you can set the price although patent it drugs, the price is capped in an agreement with the government here in the uk. When it goes generic as its known, in other words anyone can make that drug, its assumed the price will fall. What seems to have happened in a number of cases for niche drugs like this one is a Company Comes in, buys the right to market it, no one else bothers to compete so it pushes up the price and but allegedly is whats happened here. The views of the regulator are that concordia abused its position, and a 6000 increase over ten years to the nhs. One consultant i spoke to earlier explained the big difference in prices when he went elsewhere in the European Union. Historically liothyronine was probably a cost to the nhs of about £20 to £30 a month. The new cost was over £300 a month. The patients were telling me they could go to a foreign capital and buy it for £5 a month, so there was a massive difference in what the nhs was being charged versus what people were accessing at a european level. What concordia, the Company Involved says, is it doesnt believe there was any breach of competition law, that its been open in its transactions with the department of health and points out it only bought the rights to this drug two years ago. There were other Companies Involved before. The competition and markets authority says its looking ata number of markets authority says its looking at a number of cases like this the sector. The time is 13 16. Our top story this lunchtime impeachment proceedings are under way against zimbabwes leader, Robert Mugabe, whos still refusing to stand down. And coming up. A voyage to a new life a Dance Company dramatises the journey of the ss windrush, nearly 70 years ago. And coming up in the sport in the next 15 minutes on bbc news. One of great britains best female divers, tonia couch, calls it a day. The former european champion is going to move into coaching. For the first time in 12 years, bbc news has been granted permission to report from inside uzbekistan. The country has been in the spotlight after several terror acts around the world were committed by its citizens. Sayfullo saipov, who killed eight people in new york last month, is the most recent uzbek thought to be behind an attack. In january, a shooting at a nightclub in istanbul left 39 people dead. The gunman was from uzbekistan. In april, a vehicle was driven into shoppers at a Department Store in stockholm. Four people were killed. Uzbek national Rakhmat Akilov confessed to the attack. The former soviet state, in central asia, tightly controls the media. But now the bbc has been able to visit the neighbourhood the new york attacker came from. Will vernon reports. Its one of the most secretive nations in the world. Uzbekistan, famous for its ancient islamic architecture. But this country is also the home of several men involved in terrorist attacks in the west in recent years. It was the deadliest attack targeting new york since 9 11. Eight people died when a truck was driven into a crowd on a cycle path in manhattan. Us Authorities Say that 29 year old sayfullo saipov, from uzbekistan, carried out the attack in the name of the Islamic State group. We travelled to uzbekistan and tracked down those who knew saipov. We found his mother at the family home in a middle class neighbourhood in the capital, tashkent. She didnt want to be filmed. But away from the camera, she told me saipov was a kind young man who loved his family. Saipovs mother cant accept her son is a terrorist and says she wants to believe that what happened was an accident. Translation we were shocked and anxious when we heard that he was involved in this business because, before he left uzbekistan, he was a completely different person. So i cant imagine what could have influenced him so much. At the local school, saipov is remembered fondly. He stayed after classes and he had extra lessons, maybe sometimes english lessons, but never he spoke about the religious things, that hes trying to go to some place because of religious purposes, i have never heard about it. The bbc was given permission to report from uzbekistan for the first time in 12 years. After decades of repressive rule, the country appears to be opening up. The vast majority of uzbeks are muslim. The government tightly controls religious life and all clerics must be registered with the authorities. Terrorist attacks committed within uzbekistan are almost unheard of. But thousands of uzbeks are in prison for extremism. Human Rights Groups say many are simply political opponents. But uzbek migrants have been responsible for several deadly terrorist attacks in the west in the last few years. Officials in tashkent tell us the men involved in these killings were all radicalised abroad. Translation uzbek migrants living abroad still feel like strangers in a foreign land. Here, we have strong traditions of community. In the case of saipov, someone must have approached him and told him what to do. The Authorities Say that theyre working with uzbeks abroad in order to combat those feelings of alienation. In the hope that others will not succumb to extremism. With often tragic consequences. Will vernon, bbc news, uzbekistan. President trump has declared north korea a state sponsor of terrorism, nine years after it was removed from the list. Mr trump said the move would trigger very large additional sanctions, and blamed the countrys nuclear programme, and support for what he called International Acts of terrorism. Today, the United States is designating north korea as a state sponsor of terrorism. Should have happened a long time ago. Should have happened years ago. In addition to threatening the world by nuclear devastation, north korea has repeatedly supported acts of international terrorism, including assassinations on foreign soil. Paul adams is in seoul. China, japan and south korea have all given their reactions. What have they said in response . The first thing to say is this is not a great surprise. Donald trump said he would do it and he put it offa said he would do it and he put it off a couple of times so people were ready for this move. And his allies in the region, shinzo abe was very supportive. The government in south korea was more nuanced and they said it what hope to promote the denuclearisation of the peninsular and was clinging to the idea of dialog
