this is bbc news. i'm lukwesa burak. the headlines at 10pm. sudesh amman is named as the man shot dead by police in south london — after he stabbed members of the public. he was released from prison around a week ago after serving a sentence for terror offences. this offender clearly had some history, some clear history in relation to counterterrorism offences. and it is rather the police are now invested getting that and looking into that. three people are hurt, with one man in a life—threatening condition, after what police believe is an islamist—related terrorist incident. how many shots did you hear? three? three shot. what did you do? ijust ran. just ran for my life. how

fighting was that? it was frightening. i'm still shaking. in a statement, prime minister boris johnson said further plans for changing the system that deals with those convicted of terrorism offences would be announced tomorrow good evening, welcome to bbc news. tonight, it's been revealed that the man who was shot dead by armed police in streatham had been released from prison in january. 20—year—old sudesh amman was convicted of terror offences in november 2018. he was released around a week ago after serving half of his sentence. mnman was shot dead this afternoon after attacking people

with a knife on a busy south london street. three people were injured, one of the victims is said to have life—threatening injuries. the metropolitan police said it believed the attack was islamist—related. our correspondent duncan kennedy sent this from the scene on how the afternoons events unfolded. these were the chaotic streets of the immediate aftermath of the shooting test chaotic scenes. and then this — officers from metropolitan police scene taken in. the incident is still unfolding. it is around 2pm this afternoon, police 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, a man is seeing

lying on the floor. i heard there was a shooting, something was stabbing people and they had to shoo him. what else was alone nothing more. how many shots at you here cancelo about three? three shots. what happened then, what did you do? ijust ran. just what happened then, what did you do? i just ran. just ran what happened then, what did you do? ijust ran. just ran for my life. how frighting with that? ijust ran. just ran for my life. how frighting with thanm ijust ran. just ran for my life. how frighting with that? it was very frightening. i'm still shaking. is soon becomes clear this is the man that police targeted. eyewitnesses have spoken of seeing someone with a knife attacking people in a shop, and also attacking a woman on a bicycle outside. close up shots appear to show the man carrying some form of device. there's also a knife close by to where the man is lying. the home secretary later described this as a terrorist incident. let's hear from the

this as a terrorist incident. let's hearfrom the home this as a terrorist incident. let's hear from the home secretary who has been speaking this evening. she said the government will announce plans for fundamental changes to the way people convicted of terrorism offences are dealt with. first of all, all our thoughts are with the victims of this appalling attack, and also with their families and loved ones. also it is right that we pay tribute to the bravery of the police who were able to act very swiftly, and also prevent any other further acts of violence and to protect the public. and of course, alongside the police, our emergency workers were incredibly swift in terms of getting to the scene swift in terms of getting to the scene and providing support especially to the victim. can you confirm the suspect had been released from prison, having served time for terrorism related offe nsives, time for terrorism related offensives, and that he was under police surveillance when this attack happened casilla well there is a police investigation, rightly so, taking place right now. and this offender clearly had some history in relation to counterterrorism

offences. it is right that the police are now investing any of that and looking into all that. but i think i should also just say that only two weeks ago, post of the fish mongers hall attack that took place in december, i announced a very clear package of measures basically all aimed at counterterrorism and counterterrorist offenders that we would effectively stop the early release, but also double their sentences, overhaul their licensing conditions, give the police the support they needed — so that was more support for counterterrorism and officers, and greater support for the victims of counterterrorism. and quite rightly, that was two weeks ago we announced that package of measures. we have also been very clear that we will be bringing forward a counterterrorism bill in our first 100 forward a counterterrorism bill in ourfirst 100 days, forward a counterterrorism bill in our first 100 days, and forward a counterterrorism bill in ourfirst100 days, and we will absolutely do that. but tomorrow, we will also be announcing some fundamental changes in addition to what we've already said that we will do to deal with counterterrorism and

counterterrorism offenders. given that we understand he was released from prison and under police surveillance, do you believe this begs some very fundamental questions about what went wrong here? well, i think fundamentally this is very much about the system. and we've spoken about this, which is why i've brought forward those measures just two weeks ago when it came to tower wrist —— counterterrorist offenders where they are let out of prison under different laws, so this is a law that goes back to previous governments where they are let out of prison halfway through their sentence. we've committed through the counterterrorism bill to stop that. as i said, we will announce new measures tomorrow that will deal with the fundamentals of counterterrorist offenders. can you tell us with those new measures are? i won't comment on those measures are now, we will announce them tomorrow. but we will say now that those measures are built upon measures that we have already put in place very swiftly in terms of investigating counterterrorism, the

licensing conditions and regime around counterterrorism offenders, and ending the early release — we have legislation to and the release, early release of counterterrorism offenders. they need to be kept behind bars i'm joined by our political correspondent chris mason, who broke the news regarding the attacker‘s identity. chris, what do we know? so the big developing news this evening is this news from whitehall sources as we've been reporting that sudesh amman, the terrorist at the heart of what happened today in the stratton, it had been released from prison in the last couple days. he'd been convicted of extremist material, he'd been released halfway through his sentence, as is conventional, around three years. so he was released after 18 months —— streatham. what is striking here is i'm told there were concerns about him, the safety he might pose ——

danger he might pose to the public. but there were legal mechanisms there to keep him behind bars. as we heard there from the home secretary, there is clearly concerned at the heart of government about the existing legislative infrastructure, if you like, that means that in insta nces if you like, that means that in instances like this, there is nothing that the government, the police, thejudicial nothing that the government, the police, the judicial system can nothing that the government, the police, thejudicial system can do evenif police, thejudicial system can do even if they can conclude someone is dangerous to keep them in prison. and the reason this is potentially striking, it would be particularly striking, it would be particularly striking in and of itself, but the reason it is particularly striking is that you only have to go back to late november last year, the attack on london bridge. the terrorist there was released on licence halfway through a sentence for terrorism offences. he was serving a 16 year sentence, so he was released after eight years, but nonetheless the same mechanism allowed his early

release. now the home secretary touched on it there in the clips there, the government set at the time in november during the general election campaign that it would be seeking to do something around the early release of terrorist offenders. and we learntjust at the end of last month, in fact, that that was what they were planning to do. the home secretary mentioned there this idea of introducing a new counterterrorism bill, the idea being that you would ensure the terrorist offenders who received determinate sentences, eight period of time that they would actually serve in prison, served that whole time behind bars rather than being released earlier. clearly there would still be an issue if you got to the end of that sentence, there would be concerns about the safety of the public if such an offender was released. clearly given what has happened today in stratham and london bridge a couple months ago, the government will want to be seen

as moving quickly. what it can do about retrospective cases, as opposed to those which are convicted from this point onward, but i think clearly speaking to people who we talk to tonight, there is a desperate desire to be seen to be doing something for a very simple reason — we've often had in the past quite complicated, weighty discussions around civil liberties when it comes to sentencing and terrorism legislation. we arejust the viewing of the government at this moment is that it is very simple, that any member of the public will watch that's watching this right now will wonder why on earth wasn't sudesh amman released from prison if he was deemed to be dangerous? that is a view shared by the prime minister and those of the very top of the government. what they now have the job of doing is ensuring that it doesn't happen again, orat ensuring that it doesn't happen again, or at least ensuring that it doesn't happen again, orat least minimising ensuring that it doesn't happen again, or at least minimising the likelihood of it happening again by doing what they can to change the law to ensure that people like him

stay in prison for longer. law to ensure that people like him stay in prison for longerlj remember stay in prison for longer.” remember last year when this discussion first came up following the london bridge attack, there was lots of finger—pointing on both sides, saying it was their fault the cuts were introduced, that probation was reduced. with this event taking place today, could we see these measures rushed through now? yes, there'll be a political imperative to do it quickly. given what happened before christmas, we had already heard from the home office a couple weeks ago that this was one of their aspirations within the first 100 days their time in government — in other words, before easter. this counterterrorism bill will have enough pressure on them to get that through as quickly as possible. i think there'll be lots of support for that, not least because boris johnson of support for that, not least because borisjohnson has a sizeable majority, though i suspect even without that, the desire for lots of mps to see something done about this

pretty quickly. quite clearly politically now, the prime minister, the government has no option to be seen doing something soon. we heard the home secretary mentioned something about tomorrow, this was echoed in a written statement from the prime minister earlier this evening, 8:30pm this evening, saying tomorrow we will introduce further plans in the system for dealing with those convicted of terroristic offences. if we assume those plans go beyond what was announced by the government on 21 january, so ten days ago, then that perhaps would hint that they aim to speed up the process of changing the law, that they set a couple weeks ago they we re they set a couple weeks ago they were planning to do pretty quickly. that would not surprise me if that was the case. i'm speculating, but given the prime minister has said he wa nts to given the prime minister has said he wants to go further than what was already announced, that might be a reasonable assumption to come to. we've seen so much about how decisions are made and who passes them, and how they are blocked — is

this something the government can just implement, or can it be blocked? how does it work? so it is something the government can press on and do. the nature of the complexity of the judicial system might mean, and i'll be honest, this extends beyond my specific expertise asa extends beyond my specific expertise as a political correspondent, but might mean is not something you can innocently resolve with a single piece of legislation. and clearly for instance, if they were to attempt as it would seem that they would, to try and tighten this up, that might mean you can be in prison for longer. just throwing it straight to scotland yard, let's listen into an update. two people we re listen into an update. two people were stabbed in stratham highroad. armed officers who were part of a counterterrorism surveillance operation and were following this system operation and were following this syste m o n operation and were following this system on foot were in immediate attendance and shop the now suspect dead at the scene dashed shot. the suspect had been recently released

from prison, where he had been serving a sentence for islamist related terrorism offences. the officers saw the device strapped to his body and called in specialist explosive officers and armed officers to deal with the potential threat that posed. cordons were put in place and it was quickly established that this was a hoax device. initialfirstaid established that this was a hoax device. initial first aid was provided to victims by our officers and london ambulance services continuing their treatment once they we re continuing their treatment once they were able to do so safely. three people were taken by ambulance to south london hospitals. 0ne people were taken by ambulance to south london hospitals. one man in his 40s was initially considered to be in his 40s was initially considered to beina his 40s was initially considered to be in a life—threatening condition. however, we are thankful that following his treatment at hospital, this is no longer the case. one woman in her 50s had a

non—life—threatening injuries and has been discharged from hospital. and another woman in her 20s has minor injuries, believed to have been caused by glass following the discharge of the police firearm. she continues to receive treatment in hospital. my thoughts are clearly with the victims and their families. we are confident that this is an isolated incident that has been contained. officers from our counterterrorism command are investigating at pace. we are also liaising and cooperating with the independent office of police conduct as they conduct their necessary inquiries. the suspect has not yet been formally identified. however, given the circumstances of the incident, we are confident that he was sudesh amman, aged 20 years of age. stratham high road remains

closed at this time and cordons are in place. we will reopen these as soon as we can. we would like to thank the numerous members of the public who assisted officers and ambulance staff this afternoon following what was a very difficult incident will stop i am also extremely proud of the bravery of our armed officers. public safety is obviously our top priority, and to reassure the public, we will be enhancing police patrols in the area. i would urge anyone that has information that could assist with the investigation to call police in confidence. thank you. that was deputy assistant commissioner lucy d'orsi, updating us commissioner lucy d'orsi, updating us in confirming in a slightly

strange way, she said we believe it was sudesh amman, the 20—year—old man that was shot. it was an isolated incident, it has been contained. confirming three people we re contained. confirming three people were injured and taken to hospital by ambulance. the device that was strapped to sudesh amman was a hoax device. chris mason is with me, our political correspondent. what did you take from that? number thing struck me, the specific practical detail you mention for people living locally or elsewhere in london, that the police were confident this was an isolated incident and it has been contained. they do not think there is anyone else they need to pursue in relation to it. there is the bigger point. confirmation in front of the camera from a senior police

officer, that this man, sudesh amman, very recently released from prison and was a sufficient cause for concern as far as the police we re for concern as far as the police were concerned, that he was underarm surveillance, that there were armed officers on foot, we learned there from lucy d'orsi, following him. that is why they were able to act as quickly as they did, as the police said earlier today, an immediate response. quite different from previous terror attacks or indeed any emergency situation with an emergency unfolds and passers by and members of the public call 999 and it is inevitably some sort of delay while the police reach the scene from wherever they were previously. in this instance, because he was underarm surveillance, those officers were on the scene when the attack began. that brings us back to the big political challenge that the government faces. clearly it was the responsibility of the police to do what he could in those circumstances, but the responsibility now for the

government, as is acknowledged at the highest level, given we have had two incidents in the space of three months involving convicted terrorists release —— recently released from prison is how you go about ensuring there is is little likelihood of this happening again as is possible. we were told there we re as is possible. we were told there were concerns that a man was dangerous at the point he was released but there was no legal mechanism for preventing his release. we have heard from the government they were going to do this prior to the incident today, to introduce a new law, a new counterterrorism bill, which would ensure that terrors had to serve the full length of a sentence rather than being released half way through. of course, that is part of this issue but not all of it, because the question will still remain, if this man, sudesh amman, had serve the full length of his sentence and got to the end of it and still been deemed dangerous, then what do you do? there is a

complexity. clearly the instinct, the public response for many people will be, why was this man out on the streets ? will be, why was this man out on the streets? that is a view i am told thatis streets? that is a view i am told that is shared by the prime minister. there are some things that can be done to ensure people convicted of terrorism offences stay in prison for longer than they do under the current law but that does not entirely remove a scenario where there could be a view that somebody is still dangerous and still, the legal mechanism for ensuring their continued detention is not yet there, but we can expect lots of public and political pressure to ensure those convicted of terrorist offences stay in prison for longer. there has been talk about this legislation being introduced in spring. in itself, that banks are so many questions. because like this evening, the subject was being trailed and followed. we spoke to the former head of the counterterrorism unit, and he said,

despite him still being able to carry out this attack, there are not enough numbers of police to do this, the resources are not there. if the legislation gets introduced, will there be enough spaces for these suspects, not the suspects, they have been found guilty, with there be enough space in prison to hold them? all of those questions illustrate how there is not an immediately simple solution to this. there are obvious things are government would attempt to do, like the determinate sentence running its full length, but there are questions around prison capacity, police numbers. the prime minister, in his statement tonight, talked about extra money for the police but critics of the conservatives will point out that police numbers since 2010 when they came into office in the era of austerity fell backwards. yes, there is a desire from the prime minister to train 20,000 police officers relatively quickly but others make the point that is

effectively replacing very experienced people with new recruits coming through to try to get the numbers back to where they were. it isa numbers back to where they were. it is a complicated picture. that sits on top of a simple one, that the prime minister is determined to do something and be seen to do something and be seen to do something quickly. his instinct overla ps something quickly. his instinct overlaps with what i suspect the instincts of people watching our conversation will be. thank you. our political correspondent chris mason. stay with us. coming up in eight minutes, we will be getting a look at tomorrow's papers. my guess will be joining me to ta ke papers. my guess will be joining me to take us there. let's find out what is happening in the world of sport. good evening. in their first match since the world cup final, england were beaten in the six nations championship, 24—17, by france. they had been 211—0 down in paris

before two jonny may tries saw them earn a losing bonus point but that will be very little consolation. our sports correspondent andy swiss was at the match. they had arrived with such confidence, but the england fans flocking to paris were in for an almighty shock. a wall of noise and a sea of french flags and the hosts were utterly inspired. five minutes gone and vincent rattez darted over, the start of a dream first half for france and england's worst nightmare. france's six nations bursts into life. anything that could go wrong pretty much did. charles ollivon galloping through for a second try. england seemed shell—shocked. when the french skipper went over again after the break, england were 211—0 down and facing humiliation. finally, though, they stirred. well, jonny may certainly did with two stunning individual tries. if the first was special, well,

just watch the second. almost the entire french team left trailing in his wake. and suddenly it was 24—14. was the comeback on? well, no, as france held on, and after that world cup final, for england yet more heartache. i don't think it is due to mentalfatigue, no. we were unbelievably excited to get back together and look, this result‘s not gone our way. we have a short turnaround now to scotland. we need to get excited about that. well, thiis was some match, but for england, that will be precious little consolation. their six nations campaign has begun in desperate disappointment. in the women's six nations there we re in the women's six nations there were wins for england, ireland and italy. tottenham have moved up to fifth in the premier league, just four points off the champions league places after beating manchester city 2—0 at home.

city dominated the match but had a penalty saved and then a man sent off, and spurs made them pay. joe lynskey reports. pep guardiola's made his own mark on english football. both he and jose mourinho have been pioneer coaches. but this year, the premier league has had its greatest change, var. it brought an incident in this match hardly seen before. here, city's sergio aguero went down in the box. the referee said no penalty, but the game drifted uncertainly for almost two minutes before this. that looks like it is a penaltly. the video assistants had watched the replays and said foul. but perhaps the weight and the novelty got to ilkay gundogan. his penalty was saved, but the challenge on the rebound brought another check. this time, no foul. that was the peak of a first half where city should have scored. soon they would have even more regrets. first, oleksandr zinchenko was was sent off. then with a man advantage, spurs worked the ball to their brand—new striker. this is steven bergwijn,

a dutchman on debut showing why he's worth £27 million. and having weathered a storm, spurs were inspired. their best win of the season, crowned by arguably their best player, son heung—min, 2—0. for city, their league season has lost its direction. they are now 22 points off the top. the reality is like this. we have lost a lot of games, to fight against a strong team like liverpool. we improve from here and link to next season. —— and look to. this was a game that swung on this league's latest technology and newest star. joe lynskey, bbc news. there were no goals in the other premier league game today between burnley and arsenal at turf moor. jay rodriguez should have won it for the home side but his close range effort hit the bar and bounced onto the goaline and out. both sides have the same points. the gunners tenth, burnley11th. novak djokovic has won an eighth

australian open title. it was a gripping final in melbourne as he came back from two sets to one down against the austrian dominic thiem. the serb complained of dizziness and dehydration but he is now up to 17 grand slam titles. michael redford reports. he walked through the corridor of champions would confirm the size of the task dominic thiem faced if he was to win his first grand slam title. novak djokovic a seven time champion here, the best of the best. thiem has shown he can compete with the best recently but he did not start well in melbourne, losing the first set with a double fault, advantage djokovic, an advantage of the serbian rarely let slip. thiem needed a reaction and he got one, range of shots on show to level the match, the defending champion stood to applaud. the momentum change, double break helping thiem win the third set, 6—2. the austrian in control but momentum can swing. this

point went in favour of djokovic, as the defour site. the final going to a decider, and as is often the case before, djokovic came out on top, i need to australian open title, 17th grand slam success and back to the top of the world rankings, djokovic is the master in melbourne once again. there was some british success in melbourne, joe salisbury won his first grand slam title alongside partner american rajeev ram in the men's doubles. they beat the australian wildcards max purcell and luke saville in straight sets. that's all the sport for now. do not forget the bbc sport website. coming up in the next hour, it is the super ball. the kansas chiefs against the san francisco 49ers. you can against the san francisco 49ers. you ca n follow against the san francisco 49ers. you can follow it on the website. —— super bowl.

now it's time for a look at the weather with tomasz schafenaker. 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
