's from all sorts of different parties at the moment, sharing sad memories about him and kind words as well that what we know so far is that a 25 year old man is in custody. at the moment. the police are saying that this is
12:03 pm
a terrorist incidence, and they think that there is some kind of investigation as relief that revealed a potential motivation linked to its limits. extremism is how they're putting it. i think it's, it's, it's causing big worries at the moment about n p security and whether that can be stepped up. that was my next question. worry, what are the implications that you're hearing that this crime will have on the security of n pays going forward one? well, this is what the home office is going to be looking into. i think there's a review that is being launched at the moment, 650 m p 's in the house of commons, whether there should be increases in security. how might those security increases be implemented? the thing is that most m p 's don't have the same level of security that top

ministers do, they go about their day to day business with with very little. and they don't really want that either because it is a hassle, it's a hindrance, it stops you doing your job. if you're having to have a police escort everywhere you go. and it really, it is an issue for the functioning of british democracy. it's a parliamentary democratic system where people vote the local representatives who go to westminster, a voice that concerns. so those m p, you do have to have access to that constituents. that's exactly what david amos was doing here yesterday. he was having one of his friday surgeries that called listening to the views of the people that he represents. if you can't do that as a member of parliament, then you can't really do your job properly. so that's attention, that is at the heart of a parliamentary democracy like the like the united kingdom's. and it's going to be difficult to try and reconcile these 2 different urges. i suppose there is another
12:05 pm
aspect as plants at the moment which is about political discourse has discourse in the u. k. become to victory, or to polarized the terrorism. a motive that the police are alluding to here complicates that analysis because there might be other motivations behind what has happened here. but it doesn't stop the fact that there's a lot of soul searching going on about whether politicians are being too vilified. yes, they have to be scrutinized, but has it gone too far? not the question that needs to be answered. thank you for that update worry challenge at the scene there. a taliban delegation is headed to beckett's, done as part of a diplomatic push for support and recognition. regional security is high on the agenda after another major attack enough chemist. i so says it was behind the killing of 48 people at a she and mosque in the tele bonds stronghold of kandahar. nearly 100 others were
12:06 pm
injured. several suicide bombers are reported to have been involved. it follows a similar attack in the northern city of condos last week. stephanie jekka has more from campbell. this is, you know taliban heartland. it is their birth place. it is where their leader is at the moment, sir. really at the feet of the taliban leadership, i saw k iceland, afghanistan, showing that it can carry out a brazen attack. a it claimed it overnight saying that it used to suicide bombers, one of which blew himself up at the entrance of the mosque. the other one inside the mosque as people were, you know, carrying out their friday prayers and it's the 2nd time now. and as much as last friday, we had one in conducing the northeast of the country. so you are seeing a pattern of expansion when it comes to their attacks when it comes to areas. so initially they were focused only in the east of the country. more so july, the bad. we had an attack here in cobble than it moved north and it came back to cobbler. now it's gone south to kandahar. so a very serious message, i think,
12:07 pm
here from iceland, afghanistan, saying that we can, the stabilize what the taliban has always said in the sense that it is the only group to be able to insure a security of this country. and now that of course is something that's being questioned or so iceland, this country doesn't really hold a lot of territory. it's more operating the sense of sleeper cells. and there's also a concern about potential infiltration among the ranks of the taliban. and i can tell you, we've just been out to a couple of the ministries here and security has been tightened. and i think it does give an indication now that the taliban realizes that certainly when it comes to the i, sol, attacks on it and on civilians. it's got an issue, a real serious issue to deal with me while the pentagon says equal pay compensation to the families of victims of a drawn strike in cobble $10.00 afghan civilians including 7 children, were killed in the august 29th strike during the final days of the u. s. troop withdrawal. washington originally said they had struck tag, it's linked to the iso affiliate in afghanistan, the pentagon's office sincere condolences and says it will work towards relocating
