He was found guilty yesterday of murder and attempted murder, after driving a van into worshippers injune, killing one man and injuring several others. Angus crawford is at Woolwich Crown court. Weve heard a lot more before sentencing about Darren Osborne and his common past, over 30 years he had had more than 30 Court Appearances criminal past. Over 100 criminal charges including burglary theft and assault, we also heard about his victim, makram ali, a grandfather and father of six children, described as warm and sincere. His daughter spoke shortly after the hearing. The last few months have been very hard for our family as we have tried to adjust to life without our father. It was especially hard for us father. It was especially hard for us to have to sit in court and listen to Darren Osborne denied he had done anything wrong. We are very pleased with the guilty verdict. We would first like to thank our barristers, the detectives and the police for all the work they have done to secure the verdict. We would also like our liaison also like to thank our Liaison Office rs also like to thank our Liaison Officers who have by our side officers who have been by our side throughout. Before our father left the house that night, he had spent the house that night, he had spent the evening with his family. He was here, it was here where he felt most comfortable, he was such a peaceful and simple man. He had no bad thoughts for anyone. Our father, like the victims of most terrorism, was entirely innocent, which makes his death in this violent way all the more hurtful. We cannot imagine the more hurtful. We cannot imagine the trauma he failed in his last few minutes. He felt. It but we choose to remember our father with happy thoughts and he will never be forgotten. He will always stay in oui forgotten. He will always stay in our hearts, is laughter will go the walls of our home and his smile will be reflected in our eyes and his memory will be alive in our conversations. We would also like to thank the witnesses who have helped the case and the family and friends who attended court and the support we received from the community.

Amber rudd has said the government will continue to be unwavering in their resolve to combat all forms of terrorism at whatever the underlying motivation. Angus, many thanks. Theresa may is coming under increasing pressure to spell out what she hopes to achieve from the brexit negotiations including whether britain should remain part of a Customs Union after it leaves the eu. Some leave supporting conservative mps have urged the Prime Minister to be more specific about her priorities for future trade deals. Downing street says mrs may has an open mind to the kind of customs arrangement the uk should pursue. Speaking to our Political Editor laura kuenssberg, theresa may said her visit to china will help boost British Trade prospects. This trip is an example of Global Britain. Its about britain getting out around the world, and, yes, enhancing our trade links. And crucially what happened here is that we have seen the businesses i have brought with me on this trip signing deal which means more jobs for people back in britain. Thats good news for britain, its Global Britain in action and thats what we are seeing here. On top of doing business around the world, your party, the public, business, they want to know, do you favour a really close relationship with the European Union once were out or a more dramatic break . What i favour is a deal, an arrangement for trading with the eu which is going be good for trade between the uk and the European Union and good forjobs in britain. Its a fundamental choice here, isnt there . Your chancellor has said he believes the changes might be very modest and one of your former brexit ministers who is on your side has said the government is yet to make clear choices and you are risking ending up with something which looks like meaningless waffle. My choice is very simple, we take back control of our money, take back control of our borders, take back control of our laws. You know very well that decision time is fast approaching. Which is more important to you, less disruption to the economy or more control for parliament and politicians . Because the eu, many people in business, many members of the public, people in your party believe you simply cant have both. I dont believe those are alternatives. What the british people voted for is for us to take back control of our money, borders and laws. And thats exactly what were going to do. We also want to ensure that we can trade across borders. Were at the start of the negotiation. At the end of that negotiation, a deal will be presented to parliament, and parliament will have a meaningful vote. Do you want to be the tory leader at the next general election . Of occasions and i said very clearly drop my political career ive served my country and ive served my party. Im not a quitter, im in this because theres a job to be done here. And that is delivering for the british people and doing that in a way that ensures the future prosperity of our country. Our viewers see day after day the tory party fighting amongst themselves. How do you reassert your authority . I am doing what the british people want, delivering on brexit also getting out around the world ensuring that we bring jobs back to britain. Companies will be selling the Great British projects to china as a result of this trip, more people injobs in the uk as a result of this trip thats Global Britain in action. Our Political Correspondent Eleanor Garnier is in westminster. Global britain in action is the mantra from the Prime Minister, but her critics will say they are not sure what Global Britain it will actually be. That is the phrase she will be keen to say which gets back to the uk and she will be keen to emphasise the success of her trip, coming back with billions of pounds of business deals signed, she sees this as putting out a message that there is a confident uk as it leaves there is a confident uk as it leaves the eu but as theresa may comes back to the uk is not a conservative party brimming with confidence that she will come back to. There is the infighting and the splits in the party, but i think the big problem for theresa may is the concern that some in her party have over her leadership, talk of disillusionment and despondency and some are questioning her decisiveness and even some of those in her party who have been supporters of her are becoming more wobbly in their confidence in her leadership. There are others who say, we need to be more radical when it comes to change and domestic policies. She comes back to britain under pressure, certainly. Part of her problem is that she is presiding over what is essentially a coalition of people with differing ideas of what brexit should mean an differing visions and. Shes trying to keep the coalition together. Unity is the keyword but the row we are seeing at the top of the party but also down through the party ranks, that is a iow through the party ranks, that is a row which goes to the heart of the Brexit Debate across the country and around about the eu as a whole when it comes to the conservative party and a row. This is a split which has been theirfor and a row. This is a split which has been their for decades and one former minister has said that whoever was the leader at this time during the brexit negotiations would have faced the same issues and the same difficulties that theresa may is facing. Some conservative mps who do support her say she is the right person to be in the job do support her say she is the right person to be in thejob now but do support her say she is the right person to be in the job now but they point to the local elections in may with a warning, saying if the conservatives are given a bad set of results, that could spell disaster for theresa mays future in number ten. Downing street will say, getting theresa may on with the job and for her to be seen out and about around the country and around the world, that will help her to regain control of the party, but as we have seen over control of the party, but as we have seen over the last few days the toils and tribulations of the tory party could well be a distraction for theresa may as she tries to solve this really difficult question over which kind of brexit the government will choose to take in those negotiations with brussels. Thanks forjoining us. The authorities in the french port of calais have called for extra security measures, after clashes erupted between crowds of migrants. Four eritreans are reported to be in a Critical Condition in hospital, after they were shot during fights between afghan and african migrants. The french Authorities Say a series of fights broke out between migrants yesterday, it is not clear what sparked the clashes but clearly tensions have boiled over, amongst the hundreds to have gathered in calais in an attempt to cross the channel into the uk. Frances interior minister has visited the scene and there are Food Distribution centres and he said the area had never seen such violence and urged migrants not to come to the area. Translation we see that we have reached a new level of islands tonight, an escalation of violence that is becoming completely unbearable for the people of calais and for the migrants, and we cant allow a sense of this to continue so we would do things every way we can. Extra riot police have been sent and officers are searching for an afghan in his 30s who is suspected of shooting some of the injured. A local hostel worker says migrants are living in terrible conditions. Translation it is a disaster, there are tensions related to it being winter, the winter hostel is not open and there is Police Pressure to stop campsites being set up, and then there is the work of the smugglers who try to do their trafficking. Many migrants in the area are feeling increasingly desperate as the french government does its best to make calais as unattractive as possible in an attempt to stop another large scale camp re emerging. A man has pleaded not guilty to the murder of two schoolgirls in sussex more than 30 years ago. Karen hadaway and nicola fellows were both nine years old when they were found dead in woods near the moulescoomb estate, on the outskirts of brighton, in october 1986. Russell bishop, whos 51, was remanded in custody and will stand trial at the old bailey in october. Five people have been killed after two Army Helicopters in france crashed near the southern resort town of st tropez. Both helicopters belonged to a military flying school, which trains pilots. Local Officials Say all those on board died when the helicopters collided, but what caused the accident is still not clear. Youre watching afternoon live, these are our headlines. Darren osborne is sentenced to life in prison, with a minimum term of 43 years, for the van attack near Finsbury Park mosque in london last year. Theresa may refuses to give details about what shes seeking in brexit negotiations with the eu. But she insists she will deliver the deal that the british people want. Authorities in the french port of calais call for extra security measures after clashes erupted between crowds of migrants during which five people were shot. In a moment, as the number of men dying from Prostate Cancer overtakes the number of women dying from Breast Cancer, well be speaking to a clinical oncologist about the uks third biggest Cancer Killer. And in sport Great Britain have lost their first match in the davis cup. England have selected ben teoo for their six nations against italy six nations fixture. And peter willey was in great form for england in theirfirst t20 willey was in great form for england in their first t20 victory over a Prime Minister s 11. For the first time, the number of men dying from Prostate Cancer has overtaken the number of women dying from Breast Cancer. It makes Prostate Cancer the third biggest Cancer Killer in the uk. The charity, Prostate Cancer uk, says advances in diagnosis and treatment of Breast Cancer have paid off and argues similar benefits could be seen if more money was allocated to the fight against Prostate Cancer. Our Health Correspondent Dominic Hughes reports. Prostate cancer does not discriminate. Last year, keen runner tony collier discovered he had the disease while training for an ultra marathon. His diagnosis was late, and he knows cancer will eventually take his life. So tony is using the time he has left to warn other men about the dangers. I think its really important that people are aware of what their symptoms are and i would actually urge men to talk to their doctors if they have any urinary issues at all. My issue is that i didnt actually have any symptoms and they think i had the cancer for ten years beforehand. More men are living to an age where they have a greater chance of developing Prostate Cancer, so in 2015, more than 11,800 men died from the disease. That compares with just over 11,400 deaths in 2015 due to Breast Cancer. And while the proportion of people dying from Prostate Cancer, the mortality rate, has fallen over the past decade, down by 6 , the decline in deaths from Breast Cancer has been even greater, more than 10 . Prostate cancer hasnt had as much investment and has therefore tended to lag behind and its now time realising its the third biggest Cancer Killer, it is the most common cancer in men, it really is time to actually get behind this and to realise that we need to get on top of it now because its just going to become more common and its actually going to kill more men if we arent able to do that. Cancers of the lung and bowel remain the biggest killers but even here there has been significant progress. Improved treatments and years of research are now showing results. The really exciting things that are going on in the Cancer Research field at the moment is personalised medicines so were getting to know tumours inside and out, the genes that make them tick and the faulty molecules that also are fuelling the tumours growth. And the more that we know about individual cancers the more personalised we can make treatments and thats where we think we can make Real Progress in developing new treatments and helping more people survive. Meanwhile, tony has joined those calling for increased funding for Prostate Research and the development of a reliable screening programme. So the gains seen in the fight against other cancers can be matched when combating the disease that he knows will eventually claim his life, too. Dominic hughes, bbc news. We will be discussing that very shortly with a clinical oncologist from birmingham. We can now go to our correspondent in ireland.
