this is bbc news. the headlines: the terror suspect shot dead on london bridge has been named as 28—year—old usman khan, who was convicted in 2012 for terrorism offences and released from prison in december 2018. police are searching a property in staffordshire in central england, but say they are "not actively seeking anyone else". the victims who were killed were a man and woman. three other injured people we start with breaking news on the remain in hospital — one patient is in a critical london bridge attack the but stable condition. metropolitan police has just borisjohnson has described the deaths as "heartbreaking". the prime minister has said there will be an "enhanced" police confirmed the identity of the presence on the streets of london. attacker he is osman khan. what else police are hunting a male suspect after several people were wounded do we know about osman khan? he was in a stabbing in a shopping street in the hague. the incident happened at the hudson's bay store shot dead by the metropolitan police here in london during the afternoon. that is after he stabbed two people

to death and injured three others. he has been named as usman khan philipe was from staffordshire to hearin philipe was from staffordshire to hear in the uk. what is interesting is he was a convicted terrorist. he was jailed back in 2012 and part of a plot to bomb the london stock exchange and he was also plotting, according to the court, to set up as terrorist training camp in pakistan with the view of sending people from britain over there to be changed in that make trading terrorism. he was released in december he was released on licence which means he should have been under watch and police are acknowledging the main line of how he was able to carry out this attack. it took place in fishmongers' hall which is on the north side of the bridge of london bridge. there was an event taking

place and there seems to be some reports that he could have been an attendee there. i suppose, maybe we don't know the answers to those questions but we definitely know what questions are being asked. are brought together academics and stu d e nts brought together academics and students from the university of cambridge and we understand some form of prisoners and that is why we believe usman khan was attending this event. what we are hearing from witnesses is that during that event, at least one young woman was stabbed and then people who were at the event tried to stop the attacker. one of them grabbed an ornamental —— usman khan from the wall. before the police arrived, he tracked that —— there were people trying to use fire extinguishers and then the police turned up within those five minutes and pulled away anyone else who was

trying to hold down this attacker and the attacker was shot dead. just briefly, simon, it seems to be moving very quickly. we are getting a lot of updates from the police was at the moment they do not believe this was linked to anyone else. they believe this was someone acting alone but they are carrying out searches of areas that were linked to usman khan in the midlands. just to usman khan in the midlands. just to reiterate, the identity of the suspect, 28—year—old usman khan from the staffordshire area. the government has held its cobra meeting, an emergency meeting, in downing street, just a short time ago that the home secretary had this to say. have just returned back from the cobra meeting with the prime minister and of course the country will be shocked and saddened by the events of today. it is quite clear that the swift actions of the police, the emergency services and members of the public as well undoubtedly prevented further loss of life. and now we

know that the police need their own time and space to pursue the investigation and of course they need to have the support that is required and i would also urge members of the public if they have any information to come forward as well. i think it is particularly ——my particular moment in time, my priority is to support the counterterrorist police and metropolitan police, through this investigation. but this is a stark reminder of the threat that terrorism poses to our communities and country and as home secretary i will do everything in my power to ensure that we absolutely prevent further cases but actually do more in this space to prevent further terrorist incidents.

this fast moving story, the identity of the subject has just come through, usman khan, 28—year—old from staffordshire. karen described what she saw. i was on the number 21 bus, right around about 2:00, coming southbound onto london bridge. we had just pulled away from the bus stop on the very north side of the bridge and we noticed people running across the road, looking over their shoulder, filming over their shoulder, sort of running into the street, and the bus stopped quite suddenly. and we all looked to see what was going on.

on the right side, on the other side of the pavement, there was sort of a tussle or a fight. people in darkjackets were sort of fighting with each other. the next thing i sort of noticed was that they were three policemen, and one very tall man in a blackjacket with a beard who, the next thing i saw, he was on the ground and then i saw the three police officers had guns and i heard i also saw a spent taser. so i presume they were gunshots, but i don't know. when he was lying on the floor after the pops he then sort of pulled his jacket back and you could see underneath that there was some sort of vest, whether it was a stab vest or an explosive vest, and at that point the police officers really backed away. of course, i was really scared at this point because we were about as close as the police officers, in our bus. even after the pops he was lying there alive and showing it, which obviously had the desired effect which is that the police stepped away from him and didn't shoot

at him anymore, but for us it was terrifying, because now, even though he's lying on the ground he can still damage us, and the bus has stopped and we're only a few metres away, so if something happened, potentially, it was quite near the baby, so that's why i wanted her to be as far away as possible, on the other side of the bus, because if they had to shoot him and it exploded, that would be awful. the minute i heard the two pops ijust wanted to get between the baby and what was going on out there. so ijust moved her as quickly as i could in her pram behind the stairwell on the bus, so if anything happened she was a bit protected, away from the window and away from the side of the bus. i just wanted to get the baby away from there as quickly as possible. although the quickest thing would be to get off the bus, but you don't know how many people are out there, what's going on, there may be more than one attacker. so for that moment, staying put was maybe the safest thing for the baby, although i could have run quickly by myself. so i thought, stay put, maybe the bus can drive us a little bit further away. ijust wanted to get her as far away as quickly as possible. usually, i have been around

london bridge ten years, all the three attacks now, i have been nearby in the vicinity. and as a medical doctor normally i want to go closer and help, but with the baby, your instincts completely change. you just want to get as far away as quickly as possible. thank you very much to karen for sharing her experience. of course it was frightening. just to reiterate, please have said the london bridge attacker was usman khan, he was previously involved in a plot to bomb the city's stock exchange but he was released from prison on licence about a year ago, the bbc has been told. let us move on to cardiff in wales. during the bbc election debate, all the participants expressed their horror on the events in london bridge and paid tribute to the victims and emergency services will stop the debate itself saw heated exchange of a brexit with conservative claims they could get brexit done and been described and —— as a lie and also labour's position was branded as a copout. laura kuenssberg reports.

a clash of political shades, a rainbow of seven party colours. taking the stage together in an election with a debate taking a more serious turn. acknowledging and asked how they would tackle the kinds of events that took place 150 miles away. what do the panel members propose to do to tackle security issues in the uk in future? the first duty of every government is to keep us safe and, of course, a conservative government will continue to do that, investing in our police, giving them the resources and the powers they need. we've seen over 20,000 police officers cut from front line services so, it is right to recognise that would have a direct impact and, of course, we've got to invest more in community neighbourhood policing. we have to make sure that we support our security services, that we keep access to the best intelligence, which is one of many reasons i think leaving the european union is a mistake. we have set out plans to increase police numbers by 20,000. i think it is also important

that we look at what the police do in that community policing. suggestions, too, though, the police take a different approach in preventing terrorism. i think we need to look again at the prevent programme because i think we need to make sure it is enjoying as much confidence in every single community in our country as it can and i'm not sure right now it is. we must keep investing in more police and more technology. but however many police we have, we need as many of those police as possible on the streets. then a clash over the two big parties' big differences on spending. i think you were referred to recently in the media talking about the figure of 1.2 trillion spend, which is a fabricated lie the conservative party have been perpetrating over the last few weeks. you look at people like the ifs, respected think tanks, they describe the labour plans as simply not credible. they've said they are wholly unprecedented... they shout over each other.

can i just finish? they've also said, they've said clearly it would be ordinary working families that pay the price in higher taxes. we need to look for parties that will set out where they will get the money from and we are saying very honestly we think the nhs needs more money and we will raise income tax by a penny in the pound in order to do so. then the core question, how to conclude brexit or stop it altogether. i was a remain voter but feel we are so far along the brexit journey now that it has to go ahead. how do those of you here this evening feel about talk of a second referendum? we are so not far along in this brexitjourney. the idea brexit is going to be done, we are like in episode one of a ten season box set and if you don't like what you've seen up until now, you don't have to watch the rest. it is going to take us years to negotiate a new trade agreement. it took seven years with canada. the idea you'll get it done through this is simply a fantasy. nobody but nobody thinks a trade deal can be negotiated and agreed by the end of next year. we do! yeah, but we don't trust you, sorry.

i don't trust you! because you don't trust democracy! you don't trust 17.4 million people! borisjohnson, of course, insists it is possible. you said he couldn't get the brexit deal, it would be impossible but he did. he did get a great new deal and he got it in three months. it isn't a great deal, it is a dreadful deal. no wonder people don't have faith in politicians when the leader of the labour party that wants to be prime minister won't even tell us where he stands on the central question that is going to cast its shadow on a generation. it is right thatjeremy acts as an honest broker in this because he needs to get a good deal with the european union and i think stating how he would vote in a final public vote would undermine that. as ever, this election‘s about the health service, too. the nhs is failing. what are you going to do to stop this and make sure it isn't sold to the highest bidder? the nhs is not for sale, never has been and never will be. documents were released... let me finish, it is only polite to let me finish. stop scaremongering. documents were released this week that showed very clearly

the government had been involved in numerous discussions with us trade officials. it is a desperate conspiracy theory. we are absolutely crystal clear, the nhs won't be on the table. the price the nhs pays... pays for drugs will not be on the table. when boris johnson says the nhs is not on the table in a future trade deal, i simply do not trust him and i do not believe him. last, how would they greet the controversial visitor, donald trump? if you had 30 seconds with him, what would you say? happy thanksgiving. i'm a good catholic so i won't say probably what i would say to him. let's get a quick trade deal done. and here's our nhs, is what he would say! stop this scaremongering, it's pathetic! just lying to the british people continually, it's pathetic! i think you have form on that. applause. extraordinary. resign and take boris with you. at the end, there were some friends on stage but they'd be wise

to hug their political enemies closer still. laura kuenssberg, bbc news, cardiff. this is bbc news. the headlines. the terror suspect shot dead on london bridge has been named as 28—year—old usman khan. he was convicted in 2012 for terrorism offences and released from prison in december 2018. the victims who were killed were a man and a woman. three others injured in the attack remain in hospital. police say they were not actively seeking anyone else. thousands of students across the world took place and protests against climate change. around 100 demonstrations staged in the uk as well as 3000 and 150 countries. we report from manchester. we care about our future

and we demand that those in power care about it as well! another friday, another climate strike. and as the scale of this movement grows, its message is becoming increasingly urgent. youth strikers are trying to put an impending environmental crisis at the top of world leaders' agendas. it's a pretty friendly, even jubilant atmosphere here, but the banners that people are carrying have messages that are really stark. essentially that we're running out of time to save the planet and stop climate change. protests like this one are happening in towns and cities all over the world. the day of protest began in sydney, where smoke from the recent devastating bush fires still hung in the air. students took to the streets in tokyo. and crowds of schoolchildren in delhi, a city that's experienced hazardous levels of air pollution, joined the march. in madrid, environmentalism and anti—consumerism came together in a black friday protest.

world leaders will gather in spain's capital next week for un climate change talks that are being labelled as a last chance to act. and in manchester, less than two weeks from a general election, that was the message from demonstrators. we are really, really close to getting past the point where we can't return. so i'm here in desperation and solidarity. have you made different choices to try and limit your impact on the environment? yeah, i've recently gone vegetarian and we've stopped buying straws and plastic bags. do you have a message for those world leaders that are gathering next week? we need to be listened to. you need to take action on climate change. everyone needs to help. the richer nations need to help the poorer nations achieve this. and the richer nations need to change and develop. it's business as usual which has led us to this place. these young voices will be ringing in the ears of world leaders at next week's climate talks.

as scientists warn that those leaders are almost out of time to set the planet on a new trajectory. victoria gill, bbc news. let's turn to npower. it is to cut up let's turn to npower. it is to cut up to 4000 jobs as part of a restructuring plan to make it more profitable. three call centres could be close. unions have called it a cruel blow for the workers in the run—up to christmas. sunderland, where workers used to be told that manufacturing was the past and call centres were the future. not any more. a few miles away, near the town of houghton—le—spring, 2500 call centre workers were among those told by npower today theirjobs were going. disappointment, but it's a shame, there's nothing else we can do. i'll take it one step at a time. i'm still going to do myjob, still going to do the best i can, and take it from there.

it's a heavy blow for an area already reeling from bad economic news. the future does look bleak, to be honest. you've got tata, you've got british gas. for 2000 people to lose theirjob, what else is going to replace thatjob? where are they going to go? it's just another nail in the coffin in this area. it's one after another. my fear is what about nissan — that could be next, and if that happened this city would be dead. for people, you know, especially if they've got children and mortgages and things like that, it's absolutely terrible. npower has struggled to stop customers leaving and recently struggled to make a profit. it's an incredibly sad day and we can't play that down. npower has been a loss—making business for some time. the energy retail market in the uk is under considerable strain and it's absolutely critical that we take action to make sure we have a sustainable business for the future. that's why we're also saying to our employees that we're going to take all action we can to mitigate the impact of this announcement. competition in the industry is so intense some suppliers are now charging loss—making rates

to win new customers. there are now 64 suppliers competing to bill you for your electricity, some of whom went bust last year. a record 20% of customers switched supplier last year. farfrom making big money ripping off consumers, the typical profit margin has dropped to just 3% and this year energy companies have come under even more pressure. the energy price cap that came in injanuary is meant to help millions of households pay less than they otherwise would for their energy. it has helped to hold down the cost of living. inflation is at a three year low, but it has also squeezed the income of energy companies like npower, who say they can't cover their costs. they say they can't afford to keep the lights on at centres like this if they are ever to make a profit. unions say the financial pressure on suppliers is now so intense the energy market is in real danger of collapse. if nothing is done, they warn, this won't be the last round ofjob losses in the power industry. andy verity, bbc news,

houghton—le—spring. anti—government protesters in iraq have been celebrating the prime minister's stating he will resign. the countries leading cleric urged parliament to reconsider its support for the government. the prime minister was left with no choice. this was the city of nasa rear on friday, ordinary people running for their lives. around 400 people have died weeks of protest. on thursday, at least 25 people were killed here when security forces opened fire. the violence and deaths continued on friday. translation:

these young men, what do they do? these young men, what do they do? these are our children. i have a son lying in bed, he is injured. why spill the blood of iraqis? enough, you have destroyed the country. with rising political pressure, the prime minister has offered to step down, much to thejoy minister has offered to step down, much to the joy of many iraqis who took to the streets in the celebration. translation: this is the first phase, the resignation of the first phase, the resignation of the government. the second one will be parliament resigning. we will not leave the square until the last corrupt person resides. protesters in cities across iraq are demanding more than a single resignation. calls for morejobs, more than a single resignation. calls for more jobs, better public service and an end to corruption but also an overall of all of those in

power. maltese police have released the businessman, yorgen fenech, after more than a week of questioning over the murder of the journalist, daphne ca ruana galizia, in a car bomb. he denies any wrongdoing. a senior international politician monitoring the murder investigation has called on the maltese prime minister, joseph muscat, to resign. mr muscat has previously said he will only step down when those who ordered the killing are identified. at the time of her murder, miss ca ruana galizia was investigating a mysterious investment fund, which was identified in the leak of financial documents known as the panama papers. damian grammaticas has more from valletta. malta's richest man, yorgen fenech, emerging from court to shouts of "mafia". he's the focus of the murder investigation that has rocked malta. you've named many people close to the prime minister, are you going to name them? yes, of course. and these people are responsible? the truth will come out,

i'm confident, i'm confident, and i'm determined. they are responsible for the death of daphne caruana galizia? i'm confident and determined that the truth will come out. and you are responsible for the death of daphne ca ruana galizia ? i'm confident that the truth will come out, sir, i'm confident. so you ordered her assassination? no, i didn't say that, i said i am confident that the truth will come out. yorgen fenech‘s claim is that the chief police investigator is biased against him and too close to senior political figures. why do you think he's biased? i have my reasons which are public, made public in our complaint and the courts are evaluating. we have trust in the courts. pursuing him down the street, protesters who want to see all those behind the killing of daphne caruana galizia prosecuted. this is just about justice for a murdered journalist who was doing herjob! if the prime minister resigns, does that help advanced things, do you think? of course, i m not saying change administration, i'm saying clean out the administration, start afresh. give hope to the people!

daphne ca ruana galizia was assassinated two years ago, blown up by a bomb planted in her car. what's gripped malta is the question of who ordered her killing. this is yorgen fenech‘s luxury yacht. he was arrested on it as he tried to leave malta early one morning last week. yorgen fenech was one of those written about a daphne yorgen fenech was one of those written about by daphne ca ruana galizia. ms caruana galizia made it her mission to expose the shady connections of malta's rich and its powerful. many here worry that the corruption that's been allowed to exist on malta has corroded this island's institutions and from here can spread through the eu, that's why it's so important that her killers are brought tojustice. alongside mr fenech, she focused on others including konrad mizzi, one of two government ministers who quit this week, and keith schembri, the prime minister's chief of staff who also resigned. so has the prime minister who's overseen the murder investigation been trying to protect

those close to him? he's under intense pressure to go. i want this case to close under my watch. i think the authorities have already delivered what many thought could not be delivered and that is major breakthroughs in the investigation. myjob is to see this investigation concluded. but the calls for the prime minister to quit aren't letting up. yorgen fenech, the businessman, claims information about the murder enquiry was being leaked to the suspects. more claims of murky dealings and more reasons why many believe daphne caruana galizia was right about the rotten nature of malta's state. damian grammaticas, bbc news, malta. our top story: the stabbing at

london bridge. two members of the public died and three others who we re public died and three others who were stabbed are being treated in hospital right now. the suspect, his identity has been released, his name is usman khan and he is 28 years old. let's get the weather now with chris fox. hello again. many of us saw that sunny but cold weather work its way in yesterday. skies like these were pretty commonplace, not a great deal of cloud around and it wasn't too windy either. you've really got more of the same to come as we look forward to the weekend weather prospects as well. yes, it's going to be sunny, but it's also going to be cold. we have some sharp frost, and some fog patches around as well, but at least it will be dry for quite a few of us. now, if you're heading outside over the next few hours, we do have clear skies for many areas, although a few showers coming and going across northern scotland and cloud keeping the frost at bay

as well across the south—west of england. otherwise it's a cold night, it could be the coldest of the autumn, actually. temperatures may well get down to —10 as we look at the first part of saturday morning. those temperatures probably around six or seven in the morning. travel, that could well be affected by fog patches around. if there are a couple of things fog hates, it's low cloud and strengthening winds, and that's what we'll have moving in on saturday morning. that means the zone most at risk of seeing fog patches really stretches across the midlands into wales. here, there could be poor visibility, perhaps down 200m or so in places. tricky travelling conditions to be expected first thing. and some of those fog patches may well linger even into the early afternoon. you can see the extent of the sunshine for most of us, showers coming and going across the north of scotland and in the afternoon

we will see a weather front into the far south—west, bringing out acts of rain, and strengthening winds which will make it cold here. a cold day for all of us, really, with temperatures for most around 2—8. through saturday evening it looks like we will continue to see a bit of rain into the far south—west of england, the channel islands for a time. that's all associated with this area of low pressure which moves out of the way for sunday and then it's back to high pressure. there is a subtle change in the wind direction on sunday, so after a cold and frosty start again, we will see showers moving around the north sea and getting blown into the thames estuary, so we will see some of them coming into the north of kent. across northern scotland, if anything, the showers could well come together later on in the day to give some wetter weather right towards the end of the afternoon. on into monday, a bit more in the way of cloud in northern areas, and rains coming across the far north of scotland. otherwise a dry, cold, frosty start to the day, a few fog patches around but plenty of sunshine for most of us. those temperatures still struggling, although notice it is turning mild across the far

north—west of scotland. that really is a trend we see later on in the week and it does turn 00:29:04,884 --> 2147483051:51:17,156 a little bit milder in the north 2147483051:51:17,156 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 and west as the week goes on.
