their injuries are not life—threatening. the bbc has spoken to one of the people injured and told how the car had revved up, turned around and then deliberately driven into him and his friend and in the last 45 minutes, we heard from essex police, they believe this was deliberate and a murder investigation has been launched and they are trying to find a 51—year—old local man man in connection. they say their officers will be working into the night to try and track down this man but certainly tonight, there is a family morning, there is a community shocked as to how this could have happened today. as tolu said, essex police have given an update this evening — chief superintendent tracey harman of essex police speaking earlier. a warning — there is flash photography in this clip. earlier this afternoon, there was a terrible accident outside of school in loughton. we responded to reports ofa in loughton. we responded to reports of a serious collision on willingale

the investigation. this is a local man, 51—year—old terry glover from loughton. we've searched a number of addresses this evening in an attempt to find him and the searches for him, a silver ford ka with the registration l508 0kw are continuing. i'd like to make a direct plea to mr glover if he is watching or listening to this, please contact us, we need to talk to you. that was essex police speaking outside loughton police station about1.5 outside loughton police station about 1.5 hours ago now and we will bring you more on that story as we get it this evening. three days after the attack on london bridge — vigils have been held for the victims 23 year—old saskia jones and 25—year—old jack merritt. they'd both been helping to run a programme for educating offenders when one of those attending —

usman khan — attacked people with a knife. speaking to the guardian newspaper — mr merritt‘s father has criticised the response to the attack, including political pledges to review the early release of convicted terrorists. he said his son gave his everything fighting against an agenda of hate. the prime minister borisjohnson and the labour leaderjeremy corbyn were among those attending a vigil near london bridge — as our special correspondent lucy manning reports. in the city where recently jack merritt and saskia jones had proudly held their degree certificates, hundreds stood silent. his girlfriend, his mum and dad held onto each other as they were surrounded by support.

bell tolls this was what cambridge had meant to them. and this is what they meant to their friends and family. in the city of london, minutes from where they died, the noise of political arguments quietened. we come together this morning in condolences, but also in a spirit of defiance to say that london will never be cowed or intimidated by terrorism. bryonn bain was speaking at the event on friday. he had spent the day before with jack merritt

at the jail. he was inspiring, he had a bright light in his eyes and he was a young kid, but he was a cambridge grad, so he could have gone anywhere, done anything with his privileged education. he ran down when he heard shouting in the building. it felt like a war zone, it felt like total chaos, but these guys stepped up in the moment and did what few would do and put their own lives in harm's way. professor baines says jack was the first want to confront the attacker. he was brave in his own regard. he was the first line of defence, he was the first person to confront him at the door. i saw people die. i saw things that i am never going to unsee.

the first witness to see this from inside the building, he praised those who fought back. many of the folks in that space would not be here today if it were not for these guys who did time in prison and literally saved lives. and more details about the bravery of the event staff chasing the attacker, including a maintenance man called andy. when the knife goes through his chest and the killer opened the door, he pauses for a moment and he is reluctant to spill all this out onto the pavement where members of the public are going to be facing the same problems, but he makes exactly the right choice. the door is opened, out the terrorist falls. like jack merrittm saskia jones was trying to play her part in improving people's lives. she was a lovely, lovely woman. she made me laugh, she called me on things, lots of people are quite scared of me. she wasn't. she was fearless, she was a warrior.

she was going to change the world — maybe she will. the politicians have come to pay their respects, but jack merritt‘s father has been clear he does not want his son's death to be politicised. he doesn't want this to mean politicians bringing in tougher sentencing. tonight jack merritt‘s father said his son would if he could comment on his death be livid, seething that it was being used to perpetuate an agenda of hate. "feel his passion," he said, "never give up his fight." lucy manning, bbc news. bbc news has learned that the attacker had been under investigation by the security service m15 since his release from prison last year but given one of the lowest priorities. he had been convicted of a terrorism offence in 2012. as part of his release conditions, he was obliged to take part in the government's desistance and disengagement programme — which aims to rehabilitate those involved in terrorism. questions are now being asked

about the role of prison and the probation services and how effective deradicalisation programmes can be, as our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford explains. after being convicted of a serious terrorist offence, usman khan spent eight years in prison. for another year, he was being closely supervised by police and probation but despite all those years and still being under supervision, he still came to london on friday and killed two young people. how did the system fail? former governor ian acheson wrote a report on the government on terrorist prisoners. he produced a report for the government which he feels was not properly implemented. he says the number of prisoners is relatively small. there's only 221 of them. we have to get in there and start

challenging and measuring if or how if they refuse to change or if they are demonstrating that they are pulling the wool over authorities‘ eyes by pretending that they are changed, they are still dangerous and, in my view, they should be kept in prison indefinitely. after being convicted in 2012, khan did several counterterrorism courses while in prison, though some people question their effectiveness. 0n release last year, he had to do further de—radicalisation, what is called the desistance he wore a gps tag and had severe restrictions on where he could go and who he could see and although his behaviour seemed good, he was also still an active person of interest for m15. victims campaigner, harry fletcher, has been told that khan had been allowed to travel once before last week but last time had been accompanied by a police escort. then he was invited by the institute to be a student at the course held last friday. he applied for permission to go and it was granted but this time

he travelled alone without an escort. so usman khan was viewed as safe enough to come here to the event at fishmonger‘s hall but he wasn't safe at all. he'd duped everyone and he came on a mission to kill. the father of jack merritt, one of those murdered, said he would be livid if it was used to call for tougher sentences but the prime minister, has donejust tougher sentences but the prime minister, has done just that, immediately defended himself. minister, has done just that, immediately defended himselflj campaigned immediately defended himself.” campaigned against early release and short sentences for many years, it was in my manifesto in 2012 and i was in my manifesto in 2012 and i was mayor of london. i said it in august and it's in the queen's speech. we have to understand that i'io speech. we have to understand that no government can prevent every attack, no—one would believe any political leader who said they could. the inquiries and how calm's murderous intent was missed are already under way and a check on 7a

terrorism prisoners recently released has resulted in two of them being returned to prison. daniel 5a nford, being returned to prison. daniel sanford, bbc news, london bridge. an investigation by bbc panorama has discovered that lawyers for five of the jeffrey epstein‘s accusers — the convicted sex offender — have made a request for prince andrew to give evidence in their court cases. the five women allege that the prince witnessed how epstein and his guests behaved at a number of his homes, as darragh macintyre reports. the allegations made by virginia giuffre about prince andrew have raised questions that won't go away. the lawyer for five ofjeffrey epstein‘s accusers says he wants prince andrew to testify as a witness in their court cases. the women say the prince witnessed how epstein and his guests were given massages at the sex offender's home. panorama has been told that subpoenas have been prepared for the cases and could be served on prince andrew if he returns to the united states.

and that means that the next time prince andrew visits the states, he faces being ordered to give evidence, whether he likes it or not. with respect to prince andrew, i think he needs to come clean and i think the facts need to be revealed. prince andrew says that he did not see, witness or suspect any suspicious behaviour during his visits to mr epstein‘s homes in florida, new york and the caribbean. and he says he's willing to help any appropriate law enforcement agency with their investigations if required. virginia giuffre, who says she was trafficked to london by epstein to have sex with prince andrew, told panorama that she was introduced to him by the prince's long—standing friend, ghislaine maxwell. she says that after a visit to a nightclub, ghislaine maxwell instructed her to have sex with the prince. in court documents, ghislaine maxwell says all virginia giuffre's allegations are lies. the people on the inside are going

to keep coming up with these ridiculous excuses, like the photo was doctored. i mean, come on, i'm calling b5 on this because that's what it is. he knows what happened, i know what happened, and there is only one of us telling the truth, and i know that's me. people who say that you're not telling the truth, they point to inconsistencies in your tale. how do you account for those? you are left with a foggy memory sometimes, you really are, so yeah, you know, i might be wrong on dates, absolutely. i might be wrong on places even sometimes, but one thing i can tell you is that you never forget the face of someone who is heaved over you. for his part, the duke of york emphatically denies any form of sexual contact or relationship with virginia giuffre and says any claim to the contrary is false and without foundation. darragh macintyre, bbc news.

it is approaching 11:17pm. the headlines on bbc news: police have launched a murder investigation after a 12—year—old boy was killed in a fatal collision with a car, near a school in loughton in essex. five others have also been injured in the incident. mourners in cambridge have held a vigilforjack merritt and saskia jones, both killed in the london bridge attack. in the us, the lawyer for five ofjeffrey epstein‘s accusers has said he wants prince andrew to testify as a witness in the us court cases. now, in the final two weeks of election campaigning, there's greater focus on some of the key swing seats that will determine the outcome of the vote. in 2017, the result in many constituencies was very close. in one of them, just two votes. 0ur chief political correspondent vicki young takes a look at how the parties are doing in the polls

and the marginal seats where the election of 2019 could be won and lost. there are ten days to go, and if you are one of the many had to make up your mind, it's time to start thinking about who you might vote for. let's take a look at the bbc‘s pole tracker. the trend since august has been a rise for the conservatives, up to an average of 4296. conservatives, up to an average of 42%. labour has also climbed since the election was cold now, around 31. mainly at the expense of the liberal democrats —— called. support for the brexit party has collapsed since they announced they would be standing in conservative seats. in 2017, there were 51 ultra marginal seats, where the meaning margin was less tha n seats, where the meaning margin was less than 2%. as you can see, they are dotted all over the country from the manner and tyrone all the way down to st ives, from kerry to get into kensington, and all the way to five northeast where the snp won by

just two votes. the conservatives will be hoping to get back some of the seeds they lost last time like keighley. and if labour is to preserve a majority, they need to hold onto places where they won last time and places where they held on bya time and places where they held on by a whisker, like southampton itchen. and peterborough, which labour narrowly won in 2017 and held onto injune's by—election. the lib dems are aiming for seats they have already held like richmond park, and the snp are hoping to recapture many of the 21 seats they lost last time, places like midlothian. now, with every election there are some big names at risk. iain duncan smith could lose to labour in his seat in chingford and woodford green. dominic rubbed in esher is a huge majority, but the area voted heavily to remain in the eu, and he is

coming under pressure from the lib dems. the lib dem leadersjo swinson faces her own self battle with the snp. now, there aren't many senior vicki young figures that risk —— at risk, but some are being targeted by the tories. and what about the biggest scalp of all? borisjohnson has a relatively small majority but the tories are confident he will hang on. the results in all of these key seats will determine how different the next parliament looks. vicki young reporting there. and you'll find full details of who you can vote for where you live on the bbc website: bbc.co.uk/election2019. in the past hour, president trump has landed in the uk for a summit of nato leaders. air force one touched down at stansted and the president is now travelling to the u5 ambassador's residence in central london. 0ur diplomatic correspondent james robbins is there. he told us what we can expect

for the next few days. well, this meeting is in some ways celebratory. it's to mark nato's 70th anniversary year. and many of the alliance leaders think there is plenty to celebrate, the fact that the alliance was able to face down the alliance was able to face down the soviet threat throughout the cold war, but nato has its detractors, not least president trump himself, who is now in britain and will shortly be on his way here to the ambassador‘s residence. president trump 0sma cases many european member states are still not paying their way for nato's collective defence. the united states still contributes 70% of the budget. he does seem to believe the argument is going his way. france's president emmanuel macron, no friend of president trump, he thinks there has been too much focus on money, too little focus on future threats. he of course famously cold nato

strategically brain—dead. those future threats will be a big subject for the next couple of days of talk, not least space, attack on satellites. and artificial intelligence in weapons, what will that pose? for borisjohnson, this is something of an opportunity, but i think the prime minister is going to be quite wary of being sensitive close to donald trump, his frequent champion supporter, because boris johnson knows too much terminus will go down badly with some voters, even if it goes down well with others —— the u5 if it goes down well with others —— the us funds approximately 17% of nato's funding. let me bring you some news about another u5 let me bring you some news about another us president, a former us president, jimmy carter, who was president, jimmy carter, who was president of the united states until

1980 - i president of the united states until 1980 — i should say the beginning of 1981 when he lost the 1980 election to ronald reagan has been admitted to ronald reagan has been admitted to georgia hospital. he lives in atla nta to georgia hospital. he lives in atlanta or just to georgia hospital. he lives in atlanta orjust outside atlanta. reportedly has a urinary tract infection, according to the carter foundation. they do a lot of election work including monitoring. i have to say it isn't the first time he has been admitted in recent weeks, i think he was in two or three weeks ago. he is well into his 90s now. he had cancer a couple of yea rs 90s now. he had cancer a couple of years ago and did a valedictory news conference and bounce back from that illness. he has been as active as ever over the last year or so. but asi ever over the last year or so. but as i say, he was hospitalised a few weeks ago and he is in a hospital again now. uti, a routine condition at his age but obviously any announcement that mr carter and any otherformer president announcement that mr carter and any other former president has been

admitted to hospital will cause some concern in the united states. we will have further developments on
