bring you all the assaults from unimportant night in the british film calendar, an evening that has not been without controversy. —— from an important night. hello and welcome to world news today. police in london have confirmed that the man they shot dead on a busy high street was wearing a hoax explosive device. the bbc has learnt that the man had recently been released from prison in the last few days after serving a sentence for the possession and distribution of extremist material. two people were stabbed — both are still in hospital — one of them has life threatening injuries. this is the scene right now in streatham. we'll have more on what we know about the attacker in a moment. but first, duncan kennedy sent this report from the scene soon after the attack happened these were the chaotic scenes in the immediate

aftermath of the shooting. and then this. officers from the metropolitan police seen taking aim. the incident is still unfolding. it's around two o'clock this afternoon. police were at the scene extremely quickly. a few moments later, officers are seen rushing towards the man. at some point, the shots were fired. and then moments later, the man is seen lying on the floor. i heard that there was a shooting, that somebody was stabbing people and they had to shoot him. and what else? and nothing more. how many shots did you hear? three. three shots. and then what happened? what did you do? ijust ran. ijust ran for my life. how frightening was that? very frightening. and still shaking. it soon becomes clear that this is the man the police have targeted. eyewitnesses have spoken of seeing someone with a knife attack people in a shop and also attacking a woman on a bicycle outside.

close—up shots appear to show the man appearing to be carrying some form of device. there's also a knife close by to where the man is lying. let's bring you some breaking news because we are hearing that the man shot dead in streatham has been named. we can confirm his name is sudesh amman and he was released from prison around a week ago, confirming the name of the man we saw shot dead by police in streatham after stabbing two people, sudesh amman had been released from pleasa nt amman had been released from pleasant around a week ago. chris mason is with me, this detail is going to be debated for a long time, the fact this has happened, just released from pleasant was able to do this. —— released from prison.

released from pleasant was able to do this. —— released from prisonm is striking with the parallel to what happened and london just before christmas, the terrorist there had also been released on licence in that incident, halfway through a 16 year sentence for terrorism offences. in this instance i am told that sudesh amman had been jailed for around three years, he was released again halfway through his sentence, served around about 18 months, was released at the end of last month, and the view was at the time he was released that there was concerns about the safety of the public if he was released but there was no legal mechanism for keeping him behind bars. he was under surveillance, arm surveillance, that is why the police response was as quick as it was in streatham today because there was not the conventional 999 call and police

officers and scrambled, they were already on the scene and could react quickly but the question now being asked at the heart of government and by man mike is how an earth do you prevent this happening and where is the fault in the current legal architecture that means as things stand and the british law somebody can be jailed, released halfway through their sentence but crucially it can be the least when it is deemed that they are still potentially a threat to the public. sudesh amman had beenjailed potentially a threat to the public. sudesh amman had been jailed for the possession and distribution of extremist material and my understanding is there was still concern at the pointy was released that he was dangerous. we think he had served around half of a three—year sentence. had served around half of a three-year sentence. that is normal that the people are sentenced to a particular period of time then they can be the least halfway through. we heard someone is from the prime

minister after what happened and december about trying to do something about that. there has been another statement from boris johnson in the last hour or so paying tribute to the police, passing on his thoughts to the injured victims and then he says crucially following the awful events in december, we moved quickly to introduce a package of measures to strengthen every element of a response to terrorism including longer prison sentences and more money for the police. the conservative government is committed to increasing police numbers, critics will say they feel when they came into power ten years ago. right at the heart of this is a big philosophical discussion for any western democracy, where does the balance line between liberty and security, at what point do you accept that somebody convicted of a serious offence, it is right for them to be leased. clearly there is

real concern of people convicted of terror offences and fa are still perceived to be dangerous. we can expect to see the prime minister during a lot to insurance something changes because within whitehall there is definitely a view from sources that they have to do something. in terms of wider political reaction, what have you been healing? we are from local labourmp, been healing? we are from local labour mp, obviously concerned about the safety of constituents locally, we have heard others condemning what has happened and passing on the thoughts to the emergency services. i think rather small step now given this is the second attack with the same issue in the space of less than three months is going to absolutely focus on the legal question about how you go about closing what are seen to be loopholes that can lead

to the criminaljustice system and those responsible for monitoring offenders on their release, how you can have a system that allows them to get out when the arsenal perceived to be dangerous. to get out when the arsenal perceived to be dangerousm eve ryo ne perceived to be dangerousm everyone is on board, opposition and government alike, what timescale and be talking about? honestly i do not know but it could sick some time. the government has a big majority more than an the past can get things through parliament quickly. i suspect actually given these two cases of course you will get a range of views on the balance between liberty and security but bluntly you would struggle to find many mps who we re would struggle to find many mps who were not acknowledged regardless of their political affiliation that this is an issue that we need sorting out pretty quickly. i am no expert on the intricacies of the judicial system other than to say

that sometimes closing gaps like these isn't necessarily something that can be done instantaneously but there is clearly a desire within government according to the people i am speaking to to absolutely be seen to be doing something because the view at the very top of government as it is perfectly reasonable that a member of the public watching us now and seeing the reporting would ask the question why on earth was this man out on the streets given that he had beenjailed man out on the streets given that he had been jailed and was known to be dangerous, but i understand as the very question being asked at the top of government. thank you. our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford is also in streatham and has more about the police operation. well, i got herejust a couple of hours or so after the shooting itself. that was what first of all caught

people's attention and we seem to have three different things which have happened which may or may not be linked. i've spoken to woman who described a very dramatic scene near streatham common, where a police car, an unmarked police car, pulled across in front of a small blue car, effectively a hard stop on that car and lots of armed officers arriving. that seems to be the first thing that happened. a bit later, we have spoken to a man who witnessed somebody rushing up to somebody and fighting somebody about 300 metres further down the road, and leaving somebody apparently bleeding from stab wounds. and then a bit after that, we have spoken to people who see somebody who is being followed by three men who suddenly pull handguns and shoot him and then after they have shot him, they then put on some police caps and it becomes clear that they were actually undercover police officers. we are thinking at the moment that those three things are perhaps all linked and somehow somebody was stopped, escaped, was then being followed by undercover officers, has maybe

done some attacking and was then shot but obviously we have not got to the point where the police have confirmed that all those three things are linked. we are hoping we will hear from scotland yard later this evening. the busy south london street was crowded when the attack took place. these people were nearby. we just live over there and we heard some cars. we see them quite often but our friends also had some shots, three orfour around but our friends also had some shots, three or four around a but our friends also had some shots, three orfour around a donor but our friends also had some shots, three or four around a donor what time. about 2pm. we had just come back from the shops.

of course, i am still shocked. even now i don't believe it because a place like streatham, on a sunday, a busy time, i never thought that would happen, but people were screaming and panicking at that time, including me. i had to leave the area as soon as possible. 0ur correspondent duncan kennedy is in streatham for us..... what is the latest we had healing? in the last few minutes the man has been named officially as sudesh amman, we do not know his age of 30 is from but in the last few minutes has name has been confirmed. —— we do not know his age or where he is from. he was released from prison having served three years for terrorist —related offences, have to wait through that term at the last couple of weeks and that is our understanding is why he was under police surveillance and how police we re police surveillance and how police were able to intervene in this incident this afternoon and shoot him pretty soon after he started

stabbing those people. it is not clear what the surveillance operation involved, how long it had been going on. presumably other since he was released from prison and the cars couple of weeks. what we do know is that took place about 100 yards along the road here, this man started stabbing some people, two people injured, a man and a woman, in other women injured later during the police shooting. the police intervened, finding at least three shots, we understand from eyewitnesses and this man sudesh amman is short and later declared dead at the scene. immediately the police find what they call is a device which they satisfy themselves asa device which they satisfy themselves as a hoax and also tell us this man had islamist righted connections in terms of terror connections. they are not releasing any more personal details about this man but what we have had as a separate statement from the prime minister in terms of

the controversy going on here about the controversy going on here about the types and lengths of prison services people like this server. ever since as you remember back in november on london bridge, there has been a great controversy about these people and the ones the governing party being released to relate. borisjohnson has said tonight that the government has been looking into this to see how widely these people are released early and that tomorrow is going to be a major announcement in terms of changes of the system dealing with those convicted of terrorist offences. just to confirm the man named tonight as sudesh amman and he has been released and the ask couple of weeks having served about half of three yearsjoe sentence for terrorist latest —— jail sentence for terrorist —related offences. thank you.

to boost its economy as the coronavirus continues to spread. the philippines earlier recorded the first death outside china. 0verall more than 300 people have died. john sudworth‘s report from beijing contains some images viewers may find distressing. as a man sobs in a hospital ward, he is asked, "who's died?" "my father," comes the reply. just outside, eight body bags are counted. and here a patient films across the ward. these unverified images show a city and a health system overwhelmed. this woman, visiting wuhan from the us, says her sick relatives can't even get to hospital. the hospital told them they could not perform the tests. i think it is because of capacity issues. that suggests it is likely

that the real picture of the infections could be much higher than the official figures suggest? i think so, because a lot of people either choose not to go to hospital, or they do want to be officially tested, but they're not able to. this footage appears to show a body being removed, not from a hospital, but a home. today, another 11 britons were flown out on a french repatriation flight. landing in france first, and then transferred to the uk. while china tries to show the world it is coping, building this hospital in just ten days, it is becoming clear that more could have been done earlier. this was one of the first

doctors to pick up signs of the new strange virus. but his online posts were censored and the police made him sign this confession, along with seven others, for spreading rumours. just one month on, this giant economy has been brought to a stand—still. good public health care depends on transparency and the timely release of information. precisely the things that are lacking here. a place obsessed with political control. the streets of beijing show the impact of a system that has helped turn a local crisis into a national emergency. and an international one, too. this philippines hospital the first to record a death outside of china. i'm joined now by professor calum semple, an expert in outbreak medicine at the university of liverpool. he has done work on stopping the spread of new viruses. how are you viewing the efforts to stop the spread of this disease one

mike west make the actions of the chinese government today have been excellent. they have attempted as best they can to contain it but we are now starting to see a spreading to europe and onward transmission occurring in france and germany and thatis occurring in france and germany and that is of great concern. and the first death outside china from the new coronavirus. how first death outside china from the new coronavirus. how significant is that? it is a personal tragedy for the family involved but in itself, it is not that significant. it was inevitable that there were some frail or people with medical problems that would succumb to the virus know it has started to spread outside of china. the main issue is about careful case contacting and slowing down the spread of the virus to allow health care services to control and care for people. what would your suggestions before what more could be done to stop the spread? we have to do a careful contact tracing for those people who have come in... explain what that means exactly? it is about speaking

to the individuals you have identified to have come into the country, identifying patterns of contact with other people, asking them to self isolate and if they get on well, to contact the authorities rather than moving into the community and spreading it. rather than going to a gp, they call local services. scrupulous hand washing and looking out for signs of unusual illnesses. we will start moving into a different phase of containment in the rest of the world. what does that mean for other countries with health systems that are not as efficient? that is a big concern and why the world health organization declared the public health emergency of international concern. we are not seeing reports of cases from africa, not because they are not happening but because a lot of countries do not have surveillance systems and if the virus gets into the megacities of africa, we will see a serious situation occur. we appreciate your time and apologies to it being curtailed due to breaking news.

olly foster has all the sport. hello. novak djokovic has won an eighth australian open crown, his 17th grand slam title, but he did it the hard way against dominic thiem. he came from 2 sets to 1 down against the austrian. john watson is in melbourne for us. what a performance once again from novak djokovic. a record extending eighth australian open title. dominic thiem from austria pushed him close, the fifth seed, forcing him close, the fifth seed, forcing him overfive him close, the fifth seed, forcing him over five sets him close, the fifth seed, forcing him overfive sets in him close, the fifth seed, forcing him over five sets in this enthralling encounter. novak djokovic it only dropped one set coming into the final, which shows how close he was pushed. dominic thiem will be disappointed he did not get over the line. he was 2—1 up and surrendering cheap points in the fourth side. novak djokovic levelled the match and won it with that decisive fifth set. thiem will feel he will get chances to win a first grand slam title. surely that will

come at the french open, the next grand slam. he has reached the last two finals, losing to rafi on the having beaten rafael nadal at this yea r‘s having beaten rafael nadal at this year's tournament, you wonder if the tide is turning in men's tennis. the stranglehold of the big three continues, they have won the last 13 grand slam titles. novak djokovic moving on to 17 grand slam titles, three short of the tally of roger federer of 20. six years his junior, he will get the chance to add to that. we wondered if we were going to see a first—time winner, we side with sofia kenin in the women's singles. dominic thiem threatened, but it is so hard to bring down novak djokovic on the hard courts in australia. another title, another superb victory, and you just wonder how many more can he get. there were two matches in the premier league on sunday. burnley and arsenal was goaless but there was a dramatic game at the tottenham hotspur stadium where the home side beat manchester

city 2—0 to move four points off the champions league places. city dominated the game but had a penalty saved in the first half and then oleksandr zinchenko sent off for a second booking on the hour mark. that turned the game, and minutes later steven bergwijn scored on his debut for spurs, and son heung—min added a second. in rugby union, france beat england 24—17 in paris in the six nations championship. the french scored three tries, converted all of them and also scored a penalty to lead 211—0 midway through the second half. england, the pre—tournament favourites, fought back with two tries from jonny may to earn a losing bonus point. toronto wolfpack made their super league debut on sunday, the first non—european side to feature in the competition. they lost to castleford 28—10.

toronto's star player sonny bill williams came off the bench to make his debut and is positive about the rest of the season. very special. i have been out of the game forfive very special. i have been out of the game for five years, but more importantly, i said game for five years, but more importantly, isaid in game for five years, but more importantly, i said in my social platforms, it was our first game for this young toronto club and some of the boys playing super league. i am excited for them and grateful to be a part of this. that's all the sport for now. thank you very much. let's update you on the main breaking news. a man was shot dead by police after he stabbed two people in streatham in south london. he was released from prison in january. his south london. he was released from prison injanuary. his name was sudesh amman. he was released around a week ago after serving half of his three—year sentence for terror offences. he was under active police surveillance at the time of the

attack this afternoon on streatham high road. police believe it was islamist —related. it looks as though we will get off to pretty stormy start on monday, at least on the weather front. some very strong winds on the way for scotland but we will all feel the effects of the wind notjust through monday but into tuesday as well. plenty of showers in the forecast as well. this is the latest satellite picture. the storm is just to the west of our neighbourhood at the moment. it is moving in but the peak will not happen until around about 2k hours. to the south of that, the shield of cloud has brought overcast conditions to southern parts of the uk. this is what happens through monday. it is moving fairly slowly but some very strong winds around the southern portion of this low. this is what it looks like on monday morning.

temperatures of around 6, 8 degrees in the south, 3 degrees in the north. lots of showers carried in by a strengthening wind and already at this stage, gusting 50—60 mph in the western isles. nothing unusual about those winds but they will be building through the course of the day. the best of the weather, i suspect, parts of central wales, the midlands, lincolnshire, east anglia. here some sunshine on the way. a breezy day, but pleasant enough. 9 in birmingham and the possibility of a little light rain, flirting with the channel coast. let's pick up on the winds across scotland. the thinking is it could be gusting up to around 80 mph in the western isles. pretty strong. lots of wintry showers. lots of showers feeding in further south, too. into the early hours of tuesday, the stronger winds will transfer towards more eastern parts of scotland and look at that, we will probably see blizzards across the hills as well. grampian down into the southern uplands as well. early on tuesday, the low pressure moves out into the north sea, but it has a sting in its tail. that means strong winds blowing along the north sea coast into east anglia.

here, too, gale force winds expected from newcastle all the way down to hull, and norwich, pretty windy in london as well. these are the average winds but you can easily double them to get the stronger winds. much lighter winds towards the west. temperatures on tuesday around about 9 degrees. plenty of sunshine around, tuesday looking relatively quiet, at least later on. here's a summary. a very windy start to the week, with showers and hill snow, and a drier, quieter midweek.

hello and welcome back to the royal albert hall, we are in the lobby which is starting to get noisy because we have just reached the end of the ceremony for the bafta awards, an important night in the british film calendar, a knight that has been goodin calendar, a knight that has been good in terms of the awards for the british film 1917 directed by sam mendes is but it has been by no means without controversy and we
