Hello, I'm Tom Saunders with the BBC News.
The man convicted of the bomb attack on theBoston Marathon has apologised to the victims.Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, a 21-year-old ethnic Chechen,was speaking in court before he was formallysentenced to death. Gary O'Donoghue reports.
This is the first time Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has said anything since the 2013 attack. And what heoffered was an unalloyed apology. Throughout the trial, he said he'd learned the names, thefaces, the ages of the victims of, what he called, a horrendous attack. He praised their patienceand dignity, and asked Allah to forgive him and his brother, Tamerlan. Tsarnaev is expected toappeal against his death sentence, which means he could stand death roll for years to come.
Late-night talks between the Greek Prime Minister, Alexis Tsipras, and his country'sinternational creditors have ended in Brussels, with sharp differences remaining over how toresolve the debt crisis.

It's thought the International Monetary Fund wants the Greekgovernment, which proposed new austerity measures and tax rises on Monday, to go further.
President Obama has raised ongoing U.S. concerns over China's cyber activities with a visitinghigh-ranking delegation from Beijing. He called on China to lower tensions. After the talks, theU.S. Secretary of State, John Kerry, said America had made its views very clear. There was anhonest discussion about, without accusations, without any finger-pointing, about the problemof cyber attack, and whether or not it was sanctioned by government, or whether it washackers and individuals that the government has the ability to prosecute. Washington haspreviously accused elements in the Chinese establishment of having an aggressive policy ofhacking U.S. government and commercial computer systems. Beijing repudiates theallegations.
Buckingham Palace has insisted that Queen Elizabeth would never make a political point,following comments she made at a state banquet in Berlin about Europe. The Queen toldguests "We know that division in Europe is dangerous, and we must guard against it in thewest, as well as in the east, of our continent." Our correspondent, Ben Wright, is in Brussels.
Buckingham Palace officials denied that the Queen's warning about the dangers of a dividedEurope was a reference to David Cameroon's E.U. reforms or referendum. This is not aboutthe E.U., one aide said. Later today, David Cameroon takes his case for a reformed EU toBrussels. It is a big moment. The Prime Minister has already sketched out his plans to Europeanleaders, hearing where they agree and where they don't. In the evening, he will set out hisproposals during dinner. And this summit is likely to give the green light to the first stage ofthe formal renegotiation.
