latest details. the police have been around the area all day, doing house—to—house enquiries. they have asked residents if they can search to their accommodation. as you say, in the last two hours, police have released a statement in which they say they wish to trace a suspect and they have named him as bidhya sagar das, he is 33. they say he lived at this address behind me. they say he was at the address before the injured children were discovered, and left before the emergency services arrived. the police are saying to the public if they see him or know where he is, to

urgently contact them. they say they are treating this as a domestic case. we know from neighbours, they told us that last night they describe events. they said that it shortly before 11 o'clock, the mother of the two children, who we believe our twins, came into the communal area. §he was distraught, communal area. she was distraught, screaming for help, saying, my kids, my kids. the neighbours rang the police and went up to help her. we know the children were taken to a hospital in east london, where the boy was declared dead shortly before one o'clock. the little girl is still critically ill and receiving treatment. thank you very much. the nhs is facing a mission impossible to meet the standards 553 eéflé ffingfiq that's according to the organisation which represents health

trusts in england. for the first time, nhs providers says the money allocated to meet growing patient demand and will make it difficult, our health editor, hugh pym, reports. it's been a winter of unprecedented strain on the nhs, with hospitals full — or close to it — and patient demand on the increase. the budget earlier this month included new funding for social care and investment in a&e units in england. nhs providers representing hospitals and other trusts said that may ease some of the pressure, but there'll still be a yawning gap in the resources needed just to keep services ticking over. this is the first time in recent nhs history that trusts are saying they cannot deliver the key accident and emergency and elective surgery targets and hit financial balance. that's the first time ever that's actually happened. i think it's a very worrying sign. the warning comes after the health secretaryjeremy hunt said hospitals in england should get back to the target of seeing

or assessing 95% of patients in a&e within four hours. it's not going to be overnight, but it is essential. of the next calendar year. but nhs providers say it's unprecedented to warn, even before the financial year begins, that, on current planned budgets, the a&e standard and others can't be met. fif fiéfiééfé in, eééiéfifi fihfi ifiéé flint with 1.8 million waiting more than four hours in a&e and 100,000 the department of health said the comments fail to acknowledge that the nhs has a strong plan to improve performance and that staff were working hard to treat thousands more people each year within the a&e target. hugh pym, bbc news. the liberal democrat

leader, tim farron, has attacked the prime minister for following "aggressive, nationalistic" politics like those of donald trump and vladimir putin. speaking to delegates at his party's spring conference, to theresa may's hard brexit plan. the conservative party has been taken over by its own version of momentum. maze, momentum. the hard brexiteers. the anti—free trade protectionists. the shrink—the—state extremists. the anti—immigrant, anti—refuge, anti—international aid zealots. it is their party now and it is hard to be sure whether theresa may is their leader or their captive. applause. it was not only the centre and the left she ignored in that speech, she even hung out to dry her own backers in british business.

theresa may is treating british businesses the way labour has treated the working classes for decades — taking them for granted because she thinks theresa may has put at risk the very people who have bankrolled her party's success for years, and she didn't have to. she mtllddflib‘tfflfighfli keep as in the single market if she wanted to, she has chosen not to. she is pulling us out before the negotiations have even begun and because of that choice, she is to blame for everyjob downsizes, every factory relocated overseas. there was nothing inevitable about leaving the single market. that is her choice. the blame for that damage lies at her door. applause. if i was a business person who had

given money to today's conservative party, i would demand my money back. you were sold a free market, internationalist, pro—business party. what you've got is protectionism, nationalism, economic vandalism. applause. nicola sturgeon has said it would be unreasonable for theresa may to put off holding a second referendum on scottish independence until much later than 2019. the first minister of scotland was asked on itv‘s peston on sunday programme if she would be prepared to wait until 2021 for a second referendum. no, i do not think that is reasonable. by that point, scotland have been taken out of the eu, two years have elapsed, divergences opening up between the rules of the single market, and then it gets much more difficult for scotland

to seek a course. but if she is talking about the spring of 2019, later than perhaps i was suggesting, we could have some room for discussion around that. the rules on mps taking second jabs—l watchdog on ethical standards later this week. accepted a 'ob as editor - still remaining an mp. the conservatives leader in scotland, ruth davidson, defended george osborne's appointment when she appeared on the andrew marr programme earlier today. i have to say, i thought, he's a better man than me because i spent ten years a journalist and i've now spent six years as a politician, and i'm not sure i could combine them both.

and this week in particular, so i'm not sure you could do both at the same time, if i'm honest. through the ordeal of giving evidence in court under changes being brought forward by the justice secretary, liz truss. from september, the cross—examination of alleged victims will be pre—recorded and played to the jury. it follows a trial involving child victims who said the—systemmade! them feel less pressured and better able to recall events. the rac is warning most drivers buying new cars will face increased road tax from next month. .g;;!s*;;!>’;§g ., purchasing greener more environmentally friendly hybrid vehicles, some of which will attract road tax, or vehicle excise duty as it's formally known, for the first time, as our business correspondentjoe lynam explains. car drivers were encouraged to go green by the former efiéfiiélfifi eefeegefehe — ~ — in the early 2000s. he wanted us to drive cars with low carbon emissions in return for paying less road tax, and in some cases nothing. but from next month that's

about to change with road tax — or vehicle excise duty — increasing for new, greener cars. on their emissions and then £140 after that every year. it means hybrid cars, which pay no tax upto now, will have to pay £130 in road tax, and cars costing £40,000 or more will face an additional premium, but luckily new duties will have no already we are hearing that dealerships have been very, very busy in the build—up to this change. people are trying to get in there before they will be hit by the extra cost, but what we are expecting anecdotally afterwards is for there to be a lull, particularly hitting hybrid vehicle sales because one of the incentives for buying them will have been taken away. the government says the new vehicle excise duty will be fair to motorists, good for the environment,

and improve air quality by encouragingfthe'tajfiéfip—= of cleaner vehicles. this is a plug—in hybrid vehicle, which means when it's running on its battery it doesn't emit any noxious gases at all, but if you buy this vehicle from april you will be paying £440 per year more than if you bought it today. some people believe that will dis— incentivise people from buying green cars. joe lynam, bbc news. north korea's state media says its military has tested a new high—performance rocket engine. the announcement came as the us secretary—efétatefe rex tillerson, was meeting with his chinese counterpart. mr tillerson told china's president, xijinping, that president trump looks forward to enhancing understanding between china and the us, as our china editor, carrie gracie, reports. an upbeat meeting between the chinese president and america's top diplomat, to steady anxieties about where us—china relations are headed. but even as these actors smile for the cameras,

a message in north—east asia. with today's rocket news, kimjong—un is sending his own message, one of defiance, notjust to the the united states, but also to north korea's frustrated ally, china. flights to and from 0rly airport in paris have resumed after a man was shot dead by security forces after trying to seize a soldier's gun. according to officials ziyed ben belgacem had said he was ready to die for allah and had tried to take the soldier's weapon before he was shot. french prosecutors say he had been radicalised while in prison for drugs offences six years ago. germany's social democratic party is meeting to elect martin schulz, the former president of the european parliament, as its leader. since january, when he was named its candidate for german chancellor,

he'd sneaked off onto a landing, for a sneaky cigarette. a gust of wind must have caught the lighter and it set fire to him. at that time, he was in a&e with all the doctors round him. they took me in to see him. very quick look. 90% burns. there was nothing they could do. they was just going to turn off everything and just let him go. paraffin are safe and essential to those who suffer from dry skin conditions. people should not even consider stopping using them, and that is not only medical products, but virtually every moisturiser available in the shops commercially. this problem is one that has come up as a sort of an

and guitarist chuck berry, who's died at the age of 90. the musician passed away yesterday at his home in missouri. his hits include roll over beethoven and johnny b goode, and he's credited with influencing artists from the beatles to the rolling stones. bruce springsteen has called him "a giant for the ages". mick jagger says he "blew life" into his dreams. chuck berry received many accolades during his life. he was one of the first in to the rock'n'roll hall of fame. he was also honoured with a polar music prize in 2014. the swedish music award was founded in 1989 and, earlier, on my colleague maxine mawhinney spoke to its chairman, would that a songwriter a many say that he was... to put it short, he was punk before punk. he was really something that no one had seen before and what seems, now was unthinkable then. he has been a great influence to so many. what about his influence on the electric guitarlfl _, ,, w _ , ,, ,, he made something else out of the electric guitar. it became something that could lead

the main act also in music. that was a great change. of course, this is why so many guitarists see him as their great idol. you gave him the polar music prize in 2014. what was the decision to do that, what was the criteria? we could have in the prize for so many reasons, but we ififik’eftnfififi misfit—cs??? 7, and the songs have a life of their own. you can see the beatles have made their versions out of this, the electric light 0rchestra jump—started their career copying or stealing his music. two russian men have been accused of

craft being hijacked out towards kent by half—a—dozen volunteers from the police posing as terrorists. they were armed. they took dozens of people hostage on board this white boat with red lettering. then, what swung into action was the police's inflatable vessels, drawing alongside the boat, opening fire and neutralising the threat. in other words, shooting the supposed terrorists. you could hear the officers shouting to people on board the vessel. clear of other terrorists, and they began talking to some of the hostages on board. it was a pretty dramatic scene. the police are stressing that this is not in response to any specific threat to the river thames. earlier, i spoke to the senior officer in charge of things and he explained why they wanted to carry out this particular operation today and this is what he

had to say. firearm officers across london a= preparing for these tragedies, god forbid they take place. today, we are trying to make sure we can with work with our partners, the rnli and the port of london authority, to make sure that we have the same kind of response on land that we have on the river. it is an opportunity to practice that and, hopefully, demonstrate our tang tence 31‘s.- you are trying to test the whole capability, the whole response in london. firearms officers are an important, the ultimate, threat in confronting what was going to be with deadly force. that will start with a phone calls to the police, testing everything from the first notification to the police. not just involving the police, but our other partners around the port of london and other blue light emergency services because, ultimately, it will be together that we can keep london safe and prevent this kind of attack. i think the police wanted to allow the cameras

to film what was going on today for two reasons. first of all, to show that they are prepared for an attack. there is no specific intelligence about an attack to london or any other city or town in the uk, but there was a report at the tail end of last week that the event about security of last year that identified security on the river thames as something that could be improved, so i think the police wanted to show second, it is a reminder to us all that the terror threat level in the uk has been for the last 2.5 years at ‘severe', so an attack is highly likely. what happened yesterday at one of those paris airports, we saw that the threat to western cities and towns remains something that people need to be vigilant about. virtual reality technology is being trialled to help football club doctors detect concussion'withi'n'semnds':"" ””"'” " ' along with clinical assessments, the 0culus rift device could help prevent life—changing injuries by detecting concussion immediately on the side—lines,
