Hillary Clinton has become the first woman ever to lead presidential ticket for a major party in United States. Delegates at the Democratic National Convention at Philadelphia officially nominated the former Senator and Secretary of State as their presidential candidate. Her defeated rival Senator Bernie Sanders rounded off the count by formally asking the Convention to suspend its normal rules and approve her nomination by acclamation. The Convention chair representative Marcia Fudge put that to delegates.

The prosecutor confirmed that one of the attackers was a local 19 year-old called Adel Kermiche- a young man well known to the Intelligence services. Because last year he twice tried to leave the country to join so-called Islamic State in Syria. Since March he's been living near the church under reform with house arrest that required wearing an electronic tag. Angry questions have now been asked about how a man supposedly under close surveillance could have carried out such brutal murder.'

A nun sister Danielle managed to escape as the priest father Jacques was being killed. 'When I saw them coming, I said ok our time has come. We are finished. But I never thought they hunt down Father Jacques. He was praying, you know, he was still at the altar on his knees. And I saw a man with a knife. He interrupted father Jacques and started to speak Arabic. He shouted something like you Christians we'll destroy you. Father Jacques tried to defend himself but of course he's an old man.

The Federal Judge in the United States has approved in principle a 15 billion dollars legal settlement in the Volkswagen emission scandal. David Willis in Los Angeles has the details.
Nearly half a million, 2 litre, Audi and Volkswagen diesel engine cars that were sold here between 2008 and 2015 are covered by the deal. Depending on their preference, owners will be eligible to either sell their cars back to VW or have them altered to comply with local emission standards and receive up to 10,000 dollars in compensation. Final approval of the deal is expected on October. And buy-backs will begin shortly after that. Volkswagen had admitted conspiring to cheat on diesel emission tests after the scheme was foiled by regulators here in California. '

And the technology giant Apple inc. has recorded a 7% fall in quarterly net profits. The company has revealed that the Iphone sells have declined for a second quarter in a row with 15% fewer handset sold than the same period last year. Investors were worried about the falling popularity of the company's key product, but hoped the decline might be reversed by the much anticipated release of the Iphone 7 in September.
