welcome to the bbc news. in the last hour, the metropolitan police have said they are treating as murder the death of a russian businessman in surrey earlier this week. 68—year—old nikolay glushkov was found dead at his home in new malden on monday. a postmortem examination has revealed he died from compression to the neck. police say there is currently no link between his death and the attempted murder of a former spy and his daughter in salisbury nearly two weeks ago. naomi grimley as the latest. a dramatic new twist in the last hour. the met police have a new investigation in its hands. this time into the murder of nikolay glushkov. officers have been investigating his death carefully since he was found at home in new malden on monday. but a postmortem

has now finally died from compression the next. in the 1990s, glushkov was director of the state airline. he was charged with money—laundering and fraud, and spend some time injail in russia. glushkov was a close friend of russian tycoon boris berezovsky, and like his friend fled to the uk, where he was granted political asylum. in 2013, berezovsky himself was found dead. police said it was suicide. but glushkov was convinced his friend had been killed. as for the diplomatic fallout from the two attempted murders in salisbury, british diplomats in moscow are still braced for tit—for—tat reprisals, after britain announced the expulsion of 23 russian officials. there is no word on that yet, but russia says it has stopped listening to the long list of allegations from the west.

translation: these investigations, hearings, not a single piece of evidence has been presented. the lack of factors being compensated for by more and more ways of sanctions. at raf northolt, boris johnson was standing shoulder to shoulder with his polish counterpart, making it clear president putin is the man he wants to see punished, not russians in general. our quarrel is with putin's kremlin and with his decision. we think it overwhelmingly likely that it was his decision to direct the use of a nerve agent on the streets of the uk, on the streets of europe, for the first time since the second world war. the russians gave an immediate response to that remark, saying it was shocking and unforgivable. meanwhile at westminster, this episode has started to reveal some of the existing cracks in the labour party. jeremy corbyn has once again suggested that britain can't be sure

the russian state is responsible. in an article in the guardian he said... but that has drawn an angry response from some labour backbenchers. what we need is a very clear line from oui’ we need is a very clear line from our leadership stating very clearly that we stand shoulder to shoulder with our allies and with the government in the action it has taken. in salisbury last night, specialist police teams were at the graveside of sergei skripal‘s wife and son. 131 people in this quintessentially english city are believed to have had possible contact with the deadly nerve agent. they may not be in hospital, but the anxiety caused to them is trouble enough. let's talk about that development.

danny shaw is here. nikolay glushkov, what more is being said, what more do we know at this early stage? it is clearly very significant the met police has decided this is a murder investigation as opposed to being an unexplained death, which is what they said on monday after nikolay glushkov‘s body was found in new malden. the key indicator of this is clearly the postmortem examination finding. compression to the neck, which essentially would indicate he was strangled. and also what is significant is the counter terrorism command are taking over, are keeping this investigation. normally it would be done by a separate team, by a homicide team. it is counter terrorism command. scotland yard say they are doing that because of his associations, because of the late businessman‘s associations. he was a friend of boris berezovsky, who died

in slightly mysterious circumstances. he has said publicly before he did not think that was suicide. he has also had this long—running battle with aeroflot. there was civil litigation going on in the courts. he was wanted by the russian federation. he was on a list of people who the british and refused to extradite. in fact, they published that list, the russian embassy, a year ago and he was top of it. the russians said at that time that glushkov was charged with a large—scale fraud, embezzling money linked to aeroflot, and the home secretary, it was said, refused to extradite him in 2016. interesting that he was top of that list. there were some 22 names on it. we are told by moscow that the russian executive committee, the body that it examines serious crimes in russia, is carrying out its own investigation into this murder. as

well as the nerve agent attacks in salisbury. thank you. danny shaw. and in terms of the continuing investigations in salisbury, in a moment we will get the latest from there with tom baric. first, let's head to moscow and speak to richard galpin who has been following this throughout. we expect to speak about the continued angry russian reaction. in terms of development in the last hour, is there much being said about that? no, not yet. obviously, as danny was saying, russia had announced it wants to carry out its own investigation into the death of mr glushkov and into what happened to sergei and yulia skripal. they have the right to do that because both of them are russian nationals. the russian state has the right to carry out its own investigation. but

as far as carry out its own investigation. but as farasi carry out its own investigation. but as far as i understand it, and also in theory, it will mean they get access to evidence. that is where it sta rts access to evidence. that is where it starts getting very tricky, particularly obviously in the case ofjulia skripal. it is hard to see how the british authorities would be willing to do that if indeed the russians were to ask for it. briefly, there was a very angry reaction to what borisjohnson had to say as well? absolutely. the kremlin came out very fast and very angry indeed, describing it as shocking and an unforgivable breach of diplomatic protocol. i think there is no doubt it really does up the anti. as if the relationship between the countries wasn't bad enough, this makes it a whole lot worse, the fact that mrjohnson absolutely called out vladimir putin as being behind or directing the poisoning of the skripals.

richard galpin, thank you. tom burridge is in salisbury. what is happening there? plenty of police activity in salisbury today and activity from the military here in this industrial estate on the edge the city. you can see those huge military vehicles. behind the police cordon is a garage. that is we re police cordon is a garage. that is were sergei skripal's car was told to in the hours after he and his daughter fell critically ill. this isa daughter fell critically ill. this is a shot from another camera. you should be able to see the metal container, and a tent. the car has been moved into that container. we can show you aerial pictures from a short while ago. we believe troops from the chemical, biological and nuclear regiment were moving the vehicle out of a tent where it has been kept for the last few days, while investigations have been carried out. we believe they are going to move the car away from this

scene at some point today probably. and then we can take you, i think, it is pictures from a few hours ago, another area it is pictures from a few hours ago, anotherarea in it is pictures from a few hours ago, another area in the city centre. personnel officers in protective suits with gas masks, that is the park where the benches —— bench is where sergei and yulia skripal were found on the sunday afternoon. they are, we believe, taking swabs from a railing which was approximately 50 metres from the bench. they seem to be concentrating on a specific area of railing. we don't know why they are doing that. possibly linked to visit decamp —— to decontamination work. a lot of activity today, a lot of activity at the house of sergei skripal. we are still not clear about where the poison was administered, where julia 's earliest —— sergei and yulia skripal came into contact with the nerve agent. but clearly from the activity at this industrial estate concerning

the car of sergei skripal, his car seems to be a central focus of the police investigation led by counterterrorism officers. thank you. we turn to the other main story here today. an 18—year—old man has been found guilty of attempted murder, following the bomb attack on the london underground last september, which injured 30 people. ahmed hassan admitted building the device that partially detonated at parsons green station during the morning rush hour. the court heard it was only luck that the device didn't fully go off and kill many people. it's emerged that hassan was under the deradicalisation programme, prevent. the government says there are lessons to be learned from the case. richard lister is at the old bailey. ahmed hassan showed no emotion as thejury ahmed hassan showed no emotion as the jury returned its guilty verdict today. the judge the jury returned its guilty verdict today. thejudge said he had been convicted by overwhelming evidence.

the jury had taken just a day to come up with its decision. in court they had seen video evidence of hassan track from his home carrying the bomb to the underground system, then fleeing by foot, by bosma, by underground and train, all the way to dover, where he was arrested the next day. he said he'd never intended to hurt anybody. the prosecution said what he had done was moulded —— motivated by anger and hatred. this report byjune kelly. ahmed hassan arrived in this country on a lorry as an asylum seeker. having been given refuge, he began plotting on how he could bring terror once again to the uk. cctv cameras captured his journey as he left home early on an autumn morning with a bomb in his bag and a murderous plan in his head. he was on his way to kill and injure people on the london underground system. he made for a train and, a few stops down the district line, he got off, leaving his bag

containing his bomb on a timer behind. just after the train pulled into parsons green station, the bomb detonated, creating a massive fireball which rolled down the carriage, leaving passengers burning and screaming in pain. hassan had strapped shrapnel to the device — including nuts, bolts, screws and knives — to cause maximum carnage. he'd also used the explosive tatp, known as mother of satan. the bomb had only partially exploded. that bags on fire. at parsons green, a major emergency operation got under way. terrified passengers were taken off the train. some were carried out of the station on stretchers. meanwhile, the teenage bomber left london and went on the run. the year before, he'd told a teacher it was his duty to hate britain because his father had been killed by coalition forces. and at the time of the attack he was on the government's

anti—radicalisation programme, prevent. he was very cunning and devious and, on the face of it, hassan was engaged on the programme, but coming back to his devious nature, he kept it very secretive in relation to what he was doing, what he was planning and nobody around him actually knew what his plot was. 2a hours on from his attack, firearms officers were surrounding his house in sunbury in surrey. inside were his petrified elderly foster pa rents, penny and ron jones. this was a couple who had received mbes from the queen for fostering hundreds of children. ahmed hassan repaid them for giving him a home by secretly building a bomb in their kitchen. and it's also emerged that the teenager staying in their spare bedroom had said to immigration officials that in iraq, he'd been kidnapped and trained to kill by the islamic state group. it seems the joneses were told little about his background. someone like pennyjones is so experienced, and she's

an absolute champion for education, for the children's mental health and well—being. she would have put in as much as she possibly could in place for this young man. and this would have... this would have absolutely destroyed them, in part, because they had... i don't think they had any idea. after the bombing, hassan, who had come into the uk two years earlier on a lorry, headed for dover. he was arrested as he tried to flee the country which had given him a home and an education, but for which he felt only hatred. june kelly, bbc news. there are serious questions being asked about the prevent programme's handling of this case. how were they unaware of what this man was handed

—— planning? the bbc understands there was never a sign to guide him through the anti—radicalisation process. there has been a review. we don't know the results of that review yet. but it is clear there are review yet. but it is clear there a re lessons review yet. but it is clear there are lessons to be learned from this case. richard lister, thank you. we can speak now to lord carlile, who spent a decade reviewing terrorism legislation in the uk. good evening. what should people watching tonight think about the effectiveness or otherwise of prevent in light of this conviction? the first thing they should know is that prevent is extraordinarily effective, generally speaking. but there are deficiencies. the deficiencies have become clear as a result of this case. this perpetrator was known to prevent.

but he had not actually been enrolled on a prevent programme. and it is disappointing, to put it mildly, that that had not yet occurred. my view is the structure of the prevent programme needs to be re—examined. there are prevent coordinators in every local authority area. they are employed by local authorities and paid by local authorities, and to an extent subject to local authority cash considerations. in my view they should be greater uniformity about what prevent coordinators do. and ideally they should be a semi—independent group of people rather like health and safety inspectors, who have the right sort of standards proportionately to every area in which they work. i believe that if that had happened in this case, there is the possibility, andi this case, there is the possibility, and i would not put it higher than that, there is the possibility that this perpetrator might have been involved in the prevent programme earlier, and as a result there might

have been a successful intervention. so the point i am making is about the delivery of prevent, not the principal, that we should be thinking about. that is interesting. are you saying there can be geographical variations? we understand people were so concerned about this man's behaviour, prevent was contacted immediately and acted very swiftly, and yet that wasn't followed through, it would seem, according to where he lived? the a nswer to according to where he lived? the answer to your first question is, absolutely yes, there are geographical considerations —— variations. i have seen them demonstrated in the period since i ceased to be independent reviewer of terrorism legislation. i have taken a close interest in the prevent programme. they should pay proportionate attention to every case, and that depends on there

being a proper provision of resources and prevent coordinators actually coordinating fully what happens in their areas. given what was known about this man, he should have been on a prevent programme. he should have been seen. he should have been put into what is known as the channel project, which is the project that deals with the young people of his sort of age, before he ever had the opportunity to take the bomb to parsons green underground station. do you know of cases where people have been put into the programme swiftly, and that in your opinion it has worked? absolutely. i know of many such cases. and indeed the prevent programme has been examined by governments from around the world, because actually it is far ahead of what has been done in most if not all countries around the

world. obviously one can't give specific examples in a broadcast, but there are many. you could visit very successful prevent programmes in some of the cities of this country, where you might expect much more trouble than there is. and so the narrative that sometimes surrounds prevent, that it either doesn't work or that it alienates people, specifically muslim people, is there some truth in that? any truth in that? i believe there is very little truth in that. there is a little group of people who say prevent alienate people, but they would say it whatever we did do something like the prevent programme. and whenever we called it. we have to do the best we can with the tools in our possession. i believe that over the years, and particularly since 2010—2011, the government, successive governments, have worked very well on prevent. they have increased the resources,

there are more programmes. for example, fairly recently i spent some time with a group of coordinators in the midlands. it was quite clear that some of them were doing a huge amount of coordination and others had very little to coordinate. standards around the country are not identical, uniform or fully proportionate as they need to be. very interesting to hear your perspective. thank you. lord carlile. after half past five we will be talking a little bit more about all of that. we will be talking about prevent and counter extremism measures in this country. the egyptian government has called on the british authorities to bring to justice the people who attacked an egyptian student in nottingham. 18—year—old mariam moustafa died on wednesday, nearly a month after she was assaulted in the city centre. the attack has caused widespread anger in egypt. from nottingham, sima kotecha reports. 18—year—old mariam moustafa, an engineering student in nottingham.

her family are from egypt and came here for a better life. in february, as the teenager was making her way to see her mother and sister, she was attacked. she caught a bus on this street to try and get away from the girls. however, they followed her. police say she was punched several times. she died on wednesday. this footage on social media shows what happened on the bus. you move out my way! yesterday police said there was no information at this stage to suggest it was a hate crime, but that they were keeping an open mind. she was in a coma for three weeks after the attack. the family gave us these pictures. her younger sister told the bbc it felt as if half of her was now missing. mariam was always looking at...

looking forward for being in engineering. she was a hard worker, she always put all her effort in, to be in engineering. for me, i still can't believe she's gone. i still feel like she's around me. i feel like she's going to come knocking on the door, saying, "malla, come here." but that's not happening. the egyptian government has called on the uk authorities to bring those who did this to her to justice quickly. a 17—year—old girl was arrested on suspicion of assault but has been released on conditional bail. a postmortem examination is taking place today. sima kotecha, bbc news, nottingham. more now on the attempted murder of the russian spy, sergey skripal, and his daughter in salisbury. specifically the political reaction

to it. the foreign secretary has said it's "overwhelmingly likely" that president putin approved the nerve agent attack. but there's less certainty of russia's culpability among some labour mps, and the party leader, jeremy corbyn, has warned of a rush to blame the kremlin, suggesting the attack could have been carried out by the mafia. it's incensed some of his backbenchers, who have urged a tougher line against russia. but one of mr corbyn‘s leading allies has dismissed his critics as "irreleva nt malcontents". jeremy has been on the right side of history in his entire period in parliament, the last 35 years, on all the big foreign policy questions, including iraq, afghanistan and libya. you say backbenchers, but there are a tiny minority of irrelevant malcontents, frankly, who are fighting a proxy war, and it seems regrettable to me that they would use this as another attempt to undermine jeremy. i thought we were beyond that.

chris williamson there. chris leslie is one labour mp who has suggested mr corbyn‘s response to the attack has not been appropriate. hejoins us from our nottingham studio. you are an irrelevant malcontent, apparently? i said on monday that of course there is a time to go into this party political tit—for—tat, or even talk about the direction of the labour party and so forth, but if our country has been potentially under attack in this way, a russian chemical nerve agent on british soil, it is not appropriate. just as i don't think it's appropriate to get into party political point scoring right now. ijust don't think that is appropriate. the public are looking to their elected leaders to focus on the serious

issues here, which are the victims affected by this attack in salisbury. it could have easily been in any avar constituencies in any town or city across the country. france, germany, the united states and the uk security forces are saying that the fingerprints of russia are all over this. it is appropriate we focus on that action —— on that and action needs to be taken. it is the enormously brave situation which you have just described, are you not embarrassed by your leader? well, i want to see the leadership of all the political parties, you the liberal democrats, the green party, the snp and the vast majority of mps in parliament have actually come together in one voice. that is quite impressive, actually, putting aside our normal daily political disagreements. and there are big disagreements. we can do that because when our country is

under attack, just in the same way that clement attlee and nye bevan came together to support churchill in the second world war bus the problem for you is that the leader of the opposition is not in that group ata of the opposition is not in that group at a time of extraordinary circumstances. we need to make sure there is no doubt about the support of that. jeremy has acknowledged it has been right to expel the 20 odd diplomats from russia. and send them back. that was an appropriate step to take. if that is the case, i think we are concluding that russia has culpability. and i hope that when further debates take place in the coming days we can absolutely send the message out to the wider public that labour, just as with all the other parties, stands full square behind making sure that justice is done and we will not tolerate foreign powers coordinating these attacks on british soil. this

is really serious. i'm sure you have seen newspaper columns today that talk about the question of whether jeremy corbyn has crossed a red line. the question of whether people like you, of others like you who feel the response has not been appropriate, that this is now your time, yourtime in appropriate, that this is now your time, your time in the labour party to do something about this because this is such a serious situation and jeremy corbyn has not risen to the challenge. maybe it is time feed a breakaway, is the suggestion? there isa time breakaway, is the suggestion? there is a time of a place for this kind of discussion, a postmortem, what did somebody say at this particular time? and believe you me, i've got my thoughts about some of those things. but actually, what would my constituents think by diverted off into that sort of focus right now when we got a job to do, to come together to defend our country from these kind of attacks. of course there are questions that have to be asked but they need to be constructive and not giving the

impression that somehow we are sceptical more of the british security advice than perhaps the defences that the russian foreign ministry and others are putting up. i trust the professionals and the british police and the armed forces and security forces. i think when the prime minister comes to the house of commons and make announcements on these things, reports that an attack has taken place... it would appear your leader doesn't trust them in the way that you do. that is the problem for your party, isn't it? i think the shadow foreign secretary, the shadow defence secretary, the shadow defence secretary, and lots of labour mps have been very firm on this. there might be some advisers, others around and about, who take particularly different views. but i really don't want to get too distracted by that at this point in time. i think it's time to come together and support the action

that's been taken. chris leslie, thank you forjoining us. it's time to catch up with the weather. very important this weekend. it is a return to winter this weekend. there has been a return to spring sunshine but it's not going to be sticking around. things turning much colder this evening and at night, a few rain showers across the south, but showers will turn to snow even at lower levels as they drift in from the east with the cold easterly wind and subzero temperatures overnight. it is going to be a cold and icy start a saturday morning. we still have a biting easterly wind drawing in more snow showers from the north sea, particularly for the east. at some of those snow showers drifting further west, and temperatures are going to feel bitterly cold with the easterly wind. the met office has issued amber weather warnings, be prepared for disruption across these three zones, but we could see snow almost anywhere. sunday, and

easterly wind bringing winter re—sign showing that also further snow showers —— winter re—sign show in. temperatures a few degrees above freezing, but out on the effect of the wind chill and it will feel as cold as —7 or minus eight degrees —— up of the wind—chill. good evening. this is bbc news. the headlines: a murder investigation is launched into the death of a russian businessman living in the uk. nikolay glushkov was a close friend of an opponent to president putin. detectives are searching the 68—year—old's home after a postmortem examination found he died from compression to the neck. in the salisbury poisoning investigation, the foreign secretary, borisjohnson, points the finger personally at president putin. he says resident prutton was overwhelmingly likely to have

whatever rage who had the recommended for the programme, people felt they needed to be on the programme, what actually happens to them —— of whatever age. programme, what actually happens to them -- of whatever age. i'd like to start off with by saying that i have an organisation, i'm not part of the goverment‘s prevent strategy although i continue to work on the strategy. as an explanation, prevent is part of the goverment‘s counterterrorism strategy, one of the four strands. if somebody was seen to be vulnerable de—radicalisation, they would be referred to the authorities, he would discuss such a referral. that referral is discussed with partners amongst local authorities, with police, you know, social workers and so forth, to see if it meets a threshold of vulnerability. if they met that threshold, they would be allocated for example a mental. they would have a support programme that would have a support programme that would be put into place. what we do know with regard to our mother hassan's case, he was referred in 2016 -- hassan's case, he was referred in 2016 —— ahmed hassan. he was not

given assistance for a few months, however, and that will raise questions of the authorities and for the security minister as well stop right there appears to have been something of a delay. when somebody is given a mental, is that somebody you the individual concerned has co nsta nt you the individual concerned has constant access to —— if somebody is even a constant access to —— if somebody is evena m. constant access to —— if somebody is even a m. what are they trying to provide for them? it depends on what your level of need is, whether it is a mentor, what type of referral it is. for example, it good by far right extremism or islamist extremism. do they need access to certain health professionals? everything qualifies on what you need actually is, there is no one sat answer from that point of view. they will have taken these considerations into account, and a package will have been put into place. whether it is a number of sessions or ongoing support, it is a case—by—case basis point is your feeling based on your experience

that it can be successful, it really can help? in terms of channel, operating since 2007, statistically there have been around 12,000 referrals that have occurred in that time period. the kind of questions that should he asked is always about transparency. we know it's there, put into place by government. we know we have so many... for example, in 2017 there were four terrorist attacks. the mechanisms are in place. in this particular case, questions should be asked. in terms of ahmed hassan, he was seen as honourable but was not provided with the care that he had. he was bored, depressed me he had health problems, his foster care parents were not aware that he was on this programme ad on the channel programme. there isa ad on the channel programme. there is a huge number of questions that the authorities will need to ask. however, on the whole, we do need to have a system in place in terms of vulnerability. again, people will

ask questions about whether the scheme itself is working or not and valid questions about that. in essence, we need to have a scheme of protection in place. one of the things that we do for example, just yesterday we were training and working in a college and we were working in a college and we were working with 200 students. we invited them to watch a film that we had produced, about the 19—year—old from birmingham who had gone to fight for isis. what we try and do is create different spaces. prevent by itself should not be a sole strategy. it is important that young people in particular have access to conversations, diverse viewpoints, so that they can have critical thinking skills, and more importantly, all of our communities need to have the trust and the transparency that channel and government schemes are operating so that they have confidence in the system as well. really good to talk to you. thank you so much for your insights. sorry to cut that off, but

we must get a little bit more on the story that broke in the last hour. more now on our top story, the metropolitan police say they are treating as murder the death of a russian businessman in surrey earlier this week. 68—year—old nikolay glushkov was found dead at his home in new malden on monday — a postmortem examination has revealed he died from compression to the neck. police say there is currently no link between his death and the attempted murder of a former russian spy attempted murder of a former russian spy and his daughter in salisbury nearly two weeks ago. our correspondent simonjones is outside nikolai glushkov‘s house in new malden. what more can you tell us, simon, what are they saying? well, the police are still guarding the house, as they have been throughout much of the cause of the week. there are two police tents outside the front of the property. the met police's can may have been forced this afternoon by the russian authorities who, during the course of the afternoon, decided themselves to declare that the death here was a murder. until now, the met police had said that the death of mr glushkov was treated as unexplained. but during the course of the afternoon, the met police released a statement saying that having carried out a postmortem examination, they assigned the cause of death as
