the bomb attack on a london train on friday have made a second arrest. the 21—year—old man was detained at hounslow in west london late last night. detectives are continuing to question a teenager who was arrested in dover in kent. 30 people were injured when the device detonated at parsons green station. jane frances kelly reports. the investigation has widened still further. police are searching an residential address at stanwell near heathrow airport following the attacker parsons green station where 30 people were injured on friday. it comes 30 people were injured on friday. it co m es after 30 people were injured on friday. it comes after a second arrest of a 21—year—old man who was detained in hounslow, west london. he is now being questioned. the home secretary said given the progress in the

investigation the national terror threat level had the load from critical to severe. the joint terrorism analysis centre which reviews the threat level the uk is under has decided to lower the level from critical to severe. severe still means an attack is highly likely, so i would urge everybody to continue to be vigilant, but not alarmed. as the prime minister said last friday, the military were called to support the police saw armed police officers could have a greater presence on our chance but at work and our streets. there is still intense police activity at the terraced house in sunbury—on—thames where an 18—year—old arrested on saturday morning is believed to have lived with an elderly couple known for fostering hundreds of children, including refugees. penny and ron jones were recognised for their services by the queen when they were made mbes in 2010. their house is a little over 11 miles from the attack. it appears that the

improvised explosive device at parsons green station, which was placed in a bucket, produced a sheet of fla m es placed in a bucket, produced a sheet of flames but failed to go off properly. had it done so, hundreds of people packed into the train could have been killed or seriously injured. several victims were treated at hospital but none suffered life—threatening injuries. armed officers are patrolling stations and busy venues while the investigation seeks to establish just who was behind friday's attack and whether more are planned in the coming days. jane frances kelly, bbc news. in a moment we'll talk to kathryn stanczyszyn, who's in sunbury on thames. but first to anisa kadri who's at new scotland yard. the terror threat level has been reduced, suggesting the police believe they are making progress in this investigation. what have they been saying? we have heard from them in the last hour. counterterrorism chief mark rowley released a statement and in it he says, there is still much more to do, but this greater clarity has led to a

judgment that an attack is no longer imminent. when he reversed a greater clarity, he's talking about two arrests that had been made today. as you heard in the report earlier, address being researched in london, in surrey. as a result of these arrests, he's saying that there is greater clarity. the decision has been made to lower the threat level from critical to severe, meaning an attack is not imminent, but it's still highly likely. what this means practically, according to mark crowley, the counterterrorism chief, he says members of the public will continue to see increased resources for the beginning of next week. people on their commute will see extra security deployed at train stations, for example. he says military support will start to be phased out. that's because the threat level is considered not as

great as it was, because the police believe they are making progress in this investigation. we can go to kathryn stanczyszyn in sunbury—on—thames now. a lot of activity in that area of south—west london quite close to heathrow airport. what has been happening? this is more than 2a hours of quite intense police activity here on cavendish road in sunbury—on—thames in surrey. there is another police search going on in stand —— stanwell about four miles from here. police are searching an address their following the arrest of 21—year—old man in the area last night on suspicion of his involvement with this incident. the reason the police are here, yesterday an 18—year—old was arrested at the port of dover. he is continuing to be questioned as well. it's believed he lived in a

house behind this in a police cordon, where police have been working since yesterday afternoon. there are extensive forensics going on here with a tent erected in the front garden of the property. and in the backyard as well, the work going on with incident support units and tents on the streets. this semipermanent police cordon that has been erected, it looks like it'll be here for quite some time. residents have talked about the couple that live in this property. they are ron and pennyjones, 88 and 71 years old, long—time foster carers. it's believed recently they had living with them to refugees, an 18—year—old and 22—year—old. there was a longer cordon on this road, all the way up to the top of the road, and that has now been lifted and residents have been able to come back to their homes. many of them saying it was extremely distressing to be told to get out with no notice

at all yesterday. and then not know whether or not they had to spend the night away from home. that didn't happen and they were allowed back last night. 0ne happen and they were allowed back last night. one of them told me earlier that police have suggested that this cordon which encompasses around seven houses on both sides of the road, could be here for some time. kathryn stanczyszyn with an update from some real terms. we have a statement from sadiq khan, the mayor of london. thanking police officers and the intelligence services following the destination of the device at parsons green. he reiterated the uk threat level has been lowered from critical to severe. he said on behalf of all londoners he would like to thank the met police, british transport police and the security services for leaving no stone unturned in the ongoing investigation to track down those responsible. he says he is urging all londoners to remain vigilant in the days ahead. the home secretary, amber rudd,

has accused borisjohnson of "backseat driving", by writing a newspaper article setting out his vision for brexit just days before theresa may is due to deliver a major speech on the subject. mrjohnson's spokesman insisted the foreign secretary was fully behind the prime minister's plans for brexit. 0ur political correspondent chris mason reports. not since here injanuary has the prime minister given a big set—piece speech on brexit. but on friday she will, in florence. that's why borisjohnson's intervention matters, notjust because of his own ambitions, but because it highlights the rows within government about the flavour of brexit the country signs up to. i don't want him managing the brexit process. what we've got is theresa may managing that process. she's driving the car, to continue the allegory, and i'm going to make sure that, as far as i'm concerned and the rest of the cabinet are concerned, we help her do that. this is a difficult moment. so this is back—seat driving? yes, you could call it back—seat driving, absolutely. boris johnson, seen here campaigning earlier this year,

said in his article that the uk had a glorious future and should not pay for access to european markets after brexit. he also offered views on the education system, funding for the health service and tax. it's led political opponents to say he should be sacked. it's a terrible situation, and it puts theresa may in an impossible position. ijust don't understand why she hasn't fired him. it's like a school that is completely out of control, and the headteacher‘s sitting in her office paralysed and impotent. the prime minister's deputy agreed with the home secretary that mrjohnson's timing could have been better, given friday's terrorist attack, but when asked if he's going to lose hisjob, said... no, he isn't, and the reason is that he, like the rest of the cabinet, like the prime minister, is all about wanting to get the best dealfor the british people. and that is a long and difficult process that will take us the next 18 months or so.

is it not time we took back control? the foreign secretary's spokesman said the prime minister is leading the brexit negotiations, and borisjohnson is fully behind her in getting the best deal. chris mason, bbc news. mrjohnson has been criticised by the uk statistics authority for a "clear misuse" of official figures after he restated a referendum pledge that up to £350 million a week extra could be spent on the nhs after brexit. the head of the statistics watchdog wrote to the foreign secretary saying he was disappointed at the claims. earlier i discussed the fallout from borisjohnson's article with the chief political correspondent at the independent, john rentoul. i think he drafted it as his conference speech and then realised that theresa may is going to make an important speech in florence this week on friday. he wanted to

influence her position in that speech. was annoyed that, i think they held the cabinet committee without him while he was in anguilla dealing with a hurricane. so he wa nted dealing with a hurricane. so he wanted to make a speech but wasn't allowed to buy number ten and decided to publish it in the telegraph anyway. he sounds frustrated by it, doesn't it? the fa ct frustrated by it, doesn't it? the fact he has raised yet again that £350 million that was emblazoned on the side of the leave bust many of us the side of the leave bust many of us spent many weeks travelling around on during the referendum. he got into awful trouble over that statistic and he is again. he is ain! statistic and he is again. he is again! it was a very foolish number to mention the number again. he didn't need to do that. it's pure red rag to the remainer bulls. he has been told off by the head of the statistics authority. everybody knows it's not true. it's counter—productive. he didn't need to do that. he could have just made

the point that he is in favour of more spending on the nhs, which everybody agrees with and everybody would cheer him to the rafters for. instead he had to spoil it. clearly frustrated because i think he's trying to put forward the positive side of brexit. he is clearly concerned, as side of brexit. he is clearly concerned , as are side of brexit. he is clearly concerned, as are other so—called brexiteers that britain could end up with the worst of all worlds, not really out, still a bit in and paying money in. so the advantages as he sees it believe it would not be there. interesting that even some conservatives and remainers are saying at least he's putting forward a positive vision. that was the whole point of the speech or article, was to put pressure on theresa may not to give too much ground to what he sees as the philip hammond view, or the labour party view, that after brexit we will essentially be in the same relationship with the eu as we were before. he doesn't think that's a sustainable position and he's making his nuclear. 0bviously personal ambition comes into it as well,

because everybody thinks that theresa may will not be leading the conservative party into the next general election. so everybody‘s state m e nts general election. so everybody‘s statements now are against the background of that fact. boris johnson positioning for the succession, and so is amber rudd and maybe even damian green. who knows? what do you make of amber rudd's intervention today? he famously spoke about boris johnson intervention today? he famously spoke about borisjohnson in a standout moment of the referendum campaign, where she said he's great to have the party but you don't want him driving you home at the end of the night. is she looking for the leadership at some point? she and boris have history. 0bviously she wouldn't say this, but she must be delighted that boris has popped his head above the parapet for her to ta ke head above the parapet for her to take potshots at so she can impress the conservative party faithful with her loyalty to the prime minister, her loyalty to the prime minister, her good sense. i thought she performed extremely well in her interview this morning. she sounded calm, controlled, and authoritative. and that will do her leadership

chances no harm at all. the headlines on bbc news... the home secretary confirms the terror threat level has been lowered from critical to severe. police are searching a house in stanwell near heathrow after arresting a man in connection with the london tube bombing on friday. the home secretary — amber rudd — has accused borisjohnson of being a ‘backseat driver', following his newspaper piece setting out his views on brexit. it's time for the sport and a full round—up from the bbc sports centre. we start with a dramatic singapore grand prix, which was won by lewis hamilton, who extends his championship lead. to 28 points. ferrari were expected to dominate, but a crash involving sebastien vettel at the start, handed victory to mercedes. nick parrott reports. a tight

atightand a tight and twisty street circuit mixed with rain is the perfect cocktail for chaos in mixed with rain is the perfect cocktailfor chaos in formula 1. and this singapore sling left sebastian vettel, max verstappen and kimi raikkonen all feeling both shaken and stirred. got down it! is the first time in history also bought that both riders crashed out on the opening lap. —— history of the sport. the main beneficiary was lewis hamilton. before starting from fifth he said he needed a miracle to stop vettel leapfrogging him in the championship standings. his prayers we re championship standings. his prayers were answered as he picked his way through the wreckage to take the lead. hamilton has shown made tags before he's a master of all racing in the wet. little surprise he claimed his third win in a row an seventh of the season. six remaining races favoured a mercedes car over the ferrari so singapore could be the ferrari so singapore could be the turning point in the destiny of the turning point in the destiny of the championship. wayne rooney's returned

to old trafford, where he spent thirteen years as a player, with his everton side this afternoon. he was given a good reception as he came out to face the old trafford faithful. but the roof was lifted with antonio valencia opening the scoring with a superb strike. 17 minutes gone and united still leading 1—0. london rivals chelsea and arsenal played out a goalless draw at stamford bridge in a match which offered more excitement than the scoreline suggests. the visitors thought they'd taken the lead when defender shkodran mustafi headed home, only to see his goal disallowed for offside. chelsea defender david luiz was sent off late on for a high tackle on kolasinac. honestly, i think the game was open. i think it was a good game for both teams. both teams tried to win the

game, created chances to win the game. the commitment from my players was total, 100%. for these reasons we must be pleased. we had a solid performance, that team is focused on discipline. a great response. everybody expected us today to see how we would respond to what happened in our last away game. and we did that in a positive way. i felt there were less inhibitions because of what happened before. after all the hype, the big fight between gennady golovokin and saul canelo alvarez ended in a draw in las vegas — and controversy over the scoring of one of the judges, adalaide byrd. the middleweight unification bout went the full 12 rounds, and was more tactical than explosive. 0ne judge scored it 115—113 for golovkin, another had it as a draw, but byrd judged it as a convincing 118—110 win for alvarez,

which baffled most pundits. a draw means that golovkin keeps his three major middleweight titles, and remains unbeaten in 38 fights. but he's not happy about the scoring. this is terrible for the sport of boxing. you know... i'm a champion. this is the biggest fight for boxing. if thesejudges, you know, like today, this is terrible. unbelievable, unbelievable. like today, this is terrible. unbelievable, unbelievablelj like today, this is terrible. unbelievable, unbelievable. ithink she needs to be reviewed, to go back to school and learn how to judge a fight. this makes good debate for a second fight, possibly. now, what about the judges score! are you telling me that the judge's score affects how you feel about who won or lost the fight. i can't fix that.

0urjob as the promoters is to do due process. looks like a rematch is in the offing. it was a frustrating night for nicola adams. she was due to be on the undercard of the golovkin—alvarez fight. it would have been the double 0lympic champion's most high profile bout as a professional, but it was called off better news for billyjoe saunders, who successfully defended his wbo middleweight title against willie monroe jr at the copper box arena in london. he won on points and stretches his unbeaten record to 25 fights. that's all sport for now. the liberal democrat leader sir vince cable has said it's ‘perfectly plausible' he could be the next prime minister. he was speaking to the bbc‘s andrew marr as party members meet for their annual conference in bournemouth. the lib dems are calling for what they call an ‘exit from brexit‘. earlier i spoke to our

political correspondent, eleanor garnier who is at the party conference. the party wonjust the party won just over 7% of the vote at the last general election, just a few months ago, but here we have the new leader of the liberal democrats saying, at the next election, why not, i could plausibly be prime minister, but the party would have to do bigger by considerable number of votes. it's true they have picked up lots of new members after the true they have picked up lots of new members afterthe eu true they have picked up lots of new members after the eu referendum and since the general election this year, but i think lots of people have been raising their eyebrows that that was a realistic prospect, to see sir vince cable in number ten. and as new leader he has an almighty challenge on his hands. you would think with the lib dems, the most pro—eu party out there, they would have their pick of the 48% of people who voted to remain in the election, but it did not give them

the results they wanted. they returned just 12 mps, up from eight, but their vote share did drop. vince cable's comments on becoming a future prime minister are clearly setting out an ambitious challenge. but he thinks it could happen. setting out an ambitious challenge. but he thinks it could happenm possible. it's very unlikely. we could break through. if british party politics breaks up, if traditional structures break up, it could well happen. we are extremely well positioned with moderate, sensible policies, a good track record of government. we have government experience, good experience at local government level. i think what you may find is that there is a big shift of opinion in our direction. i'm very confident talking about being an alternative prime minister. one of the things vince cable and the party are hoping is their message on brexit, a future referendum on whatever the deal is that the government gets with negotiations with brussels, that it

will cut through to voters and that's where they hope they will pick up some ground. they believe with labour under jeremy corbyn being taken furtherto with labour under jeremy corbyn being taken further to the left, there is a big gaping hole in british politics that is theirs for the taking. and then new deputy leaderjo swinson was talking in the main auditorium this afternoon and she has been telling members that she has been telling members that she does think it's right that they press for the government to give vote rs press for the government to give voters another say on whatever deal theresa may gets from brussels. politics feels broken. to me, to many in this room, and to so many far beyond this conference hall. we are absolutely right to fight for an exit from brexit. applause. brexit will make it harder to follow our values, to protect human rights, to tackle climate change. to solve global problems. an exit from brexit is necessary, but it is not sufficient. because this culture

clash continues. and the populists stoke this tension. they do it deliberately. they talk in simple soundbites that scapegoats different groups. it's all someone else's fault. as liberals we know this is nonsense. the farage—y, trump—y, angry, arse—y. shouty slogans aren't a solution to anything. the liberal democrats are pretty positive. i know from several conferences that they or is but a positive spin on things. but i think the shine has gone a little bit competitive this time last year. and that's a demonstration of how big the chance for the new leader is. at 74 years old just a few months ago, he thought his political career was

over. he was busy writing novels and dancing, we saw him do some ballroom dancing, we saw him do some ballroom dancing competitions. but now his life is very different. and he carries a big challenge that the lib dems face. aid agencies working with rohingya muslim refugees in bangladesh say they've identified almost 1300 children who've arrived from myanmar without parents or relatives. some are as young as three years old. the bangladeshi government is planning to build a camp to accommodate the 400,000 rohingya who have fled the military crackdown in myanmar. we can speak to fill robertson, the deputy asia director at human rights watch, currently in bangkok. your agency issued a pretty hard—hitting report just agency issued a pretty hard—hitting reportjust a agency issued a pretty hard—hitting report just a couple agency issued a pretty hard—hitting reportjust a couple of days ago accusing the military of myanmar of an ethnic cleansing campaign. that's exactly what is happening. what we

haveis exactly what is happening. what we have is the military forces of myanmar surrounding villages, shooting into them and stampeding people out of those villages. and then putting the villages to the torch. we have villages in northern rakhine state on fire right now. 400,000 rohingya across the border so 400,000 rohingya across the border so far into bangladesh and many more on the way. this is quite clearly ethnic cleansing. i expect we may be moving further towards a determination that it also consists of crimes against humanity. and this is now a major test for the world community. what are they going to do to stop the violence, and what will they do to help all those refugees who have gone across the border into bangladesh. the myanmar military say they are simpler going in after terrorists. what pressure is there now on aung san suu kyi to do more

and say more? there is a lot of pressure on her now. she is stuck between her constituencies in burma and also the expectations of the international community. it is clear that she doesn't have the authority under the 2008 constitution of myanmar to be able to control the military, but she has the moral authority, who she is, she has the popular support of the burmese people. and she has an overwhelming majority in parliament, so she needs to use some of those tools to push back on the military or to face charges that somehow she is complicit with all of this. what kind of circumstances are these refugees in? we have seen pictures of the ones going over to bangladesh, an impoverished country itself. its aid getting through to them in any way? this is a world —class them in any way? this is a world—class humanitarian disaster. we are talking about 400,000 people

who have fled a country in the course of just who have fled a country in the course ofjust over who have fled a country in the course of just over two who have fled a country in the course ofjust over two weeks. they have arrived in many cases with just the clothes on their backs. we have interviewed refugees who have been shot at, have bullet wounds and shrapnel wounds. who have been burned, slashed by machetes. we have also seen people who have not eaten in days on their way to the border. there is no sanitation. there is no food in many cases. there is no ethical assistance. all of that is being put together right now by the international community and un agencies. fortunately bangladesh is allowing these people in, but there is nowhere to put them. they will have to construct a camp in the middle of the rainy season. we are very concerned about waterborne diseases, the potentialfor a cholera outbreak that could kill many. and we have the confusion of people fleeing for their lives and leaving children behind. there are many unaccompanied children who have

somehow made it to the border as well who now need to be reunited with their parents. we need to leave it there, but thank you forjoining us it there, but thank you forjoining us this afternoon. fill robertson from human rights watch. police are continuing their investigation into a crash on the m5 in south gloucestershire yesterday in which four people died. a lorry crashed through the central reservation and collided with two vehicles. a woman and two children are critically ill and remain in hospital. a paraglider is in hospital with serious injuries after colliding with a hotel on the norfolk coast. the incident happened at around lunchtime today when he paraglider hit the wellington hotel. a man was taken away by air ambulance with injuries to his head and arm, but they are not thought to be life—threatening. research suggests more than a quarter of england's secondary schools aren't offering religious education, despite being legally required to do so. the national association of teachers of re says it's a worrying trend and many pupils aren't being prepared for life in modern britain.

the department for education says re remains compulsory. tim muffett reports. the coopers' company and coborn school in upminster, where religious education is a core subject. it gives you the skill to debate, argue, and really consider what other people view about something. all state schools in england, including academies and free schools, are legally obliged to provide religious education as part of a balanced curriculum. there needs to be something that happens if schools aren't doing this. fiona moss is from the national association of teachers of religious education. it issued a freedom of information request to the department for education. its school census data showed that 26% of state secondary schools in england made no provision for re, and in academies, which operate outside of local authority control,
