the government says it's time to take action to stop the automatic early release of prisoners convicted of terror offences. it comes after yesterday's stabbings in south london by 20—year—old sudesh amman, who had been freed last month. he was shot dead by police. the anomaly we need to clear up is the process by which some people are still coming out under automatic early release without any kind of scrutiny of parole system. with hundreds of prisoners due for release, we'll be asking what impact this latest attack will have. also this lunchtime: borisjohnson says the uk won't bind itself to eu rules in order to get a trade deal by the end of the year. we must now agree on specific and effective guarantees to ensure a level playing field over

the long term. built in just eight days — a 1000—bed hospital opens in wuhan for coronavirus patitents as china accuses america of whipping up panic over its spread. last man standing. and the baftas‘ big winner — sir sam mendes‘s world war i film 1917 steals the show. coming up in the sport later in the hour on bbc news: with the world cup on home soil next year, there's a new head coach for the england rugby league team — shaun wane. good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. the prime minister has promised "fundamental" changes to the way convicted terrorists are handled following yesterday's knife

attack in south london. sudesh amman was shot dead by police after he stabbed two people in streatham. he'd only recently been freed from prison, after serving half of his sentence for terrorism offences. the attack in streatham began at four minutes to two yesterday afternoon, when amman grabbed a knife from a shop on the high street. two minutes later, he stabbed his first victim outside the white lion pub. seconds later, he stabbed another person outside cash converters. within two minutes, police shot amman dead on the high street. and four minutes after the victims were stabbed, medics arrived on the scene. this morning, police have been searching a hostel where he had been staying. our home affairs correspondent, tom symonds, reports. this may have been what police have called an isolated attack. it may be that no one was killed. but a huge police investigation is under way nonetheless. starting where it happened, a busy street in south

london. george saw the face of the knifeman. ijust keep having this image in my head, i can see how, the expression on his face... it was like he was trying to say something, and he was so young. seriously, i cannot understand why people would actually want to do that. it's just really, really stupid and ridiculous. such a waste of life. absolute waste of life. we know he was stopped by armed, covert surveillance officers. we know he was being followed and that suggests he was regarded as likely to attempt some sort of attack. this is the hostel where he was staying after being released from prison, having served his sentence. that's an automatic process and the fact this is the second time that a terrorism prisoner has gone on to carry out an attack means there are now calls for something to change. angry, because both these

attacks, the one in november and the one yesterday, were preventable and foreseeable. i've been concerned for some time and i've made my views clear in relation to changes in the law made by the government which mean that judges haven't got the tools they used to have to keep people imprisoned longer who are still a danger to the public. and so, this morning, the prime minister promised a tougher approach. i hope people understand that the anomaly we need to clear up is the process by which some people are still coming out under automatic early release without any kind of scrutiny or parole system. and the problem is that this sort of attack, a single attacker, a low—tech weapon, no warning, is putting pressure on what is already a system for deradicalising extremists which is not yet proven to work well. the former prisons minister and now london mayoral candidate accepts

that despite his time in charge, things need to improve. as we get more terrorist defenders coming into the system, ——as we get more terrorist offenders coming into the system, and this number of terrorists in the prison system wasn't there ten years ago, we need much more training and expertise. and increasingly, the type of terrorists we are dealing with are different to the type we were dealing with five years ago, so the expertise and training we need is different to what we needed five years ago. there are other questions to answer. should, could amman have been stopped from starting his attack by watching police? whatever the answer, the action they did take has almost certainly saved lives. that police investigation is continuing this lunchtime. this is one of the properties, a residential bail hostel, which is being searched by police as we speak. we have seen them bring out bags of documents and electronic equipment as well. there

isa electronic equipment as well. there is a second address in bishops stortford which is also being searched. the good news is that the three victims in this attack, one thought to be in a critical condition is actually not in a critical condition, the other is recovering in hospital, and a third, hit by flying glass as the police opened fire, is also doing well, so some good news from this incident yesterday. tom, thank you. our security correspondent gordon corera is here. with hundreds of prisoners waiting to be released, you wonder what can be done now. this is a challenging issue. with this individual, sudesh amman, he talked about trying to carry out an attack with knives, perhaps also his behaviour in prison and what he had done afterwards led him to being designated very high risk and having this on surveillance tea m risk and having this on surveillance team on him which was able to intervene incredibly quickly, within seconds. but that was because he was judged very high risk. there are

many other prisoners that have been released, or who may be due for released, or who may be due for release soon under the same system, automatic release after having served half your sentence, and there isa served half your sentence, and there is a finite amount of surveillance resource, so is a finite amount of surveillance resource, so there is a difficult challenge there in trying to work out who potentially poses a risk. then you have the broader issue, which is, what can you do about this problem? after the london bridge attack a couple of months ago, the government talked about new legislation to change sentencing and checks in prison and afterwards, but that would apply from when that legislation is passed. you already have these people who have been released or were sentenced under the previous system. the prime minister today was talking about trying to find some way of dealing with them, those people who are up for automatic release, but that will be challenging and we will have to wait to see what that detail might be in terms of what they are proposing. thank you. borisjohnson has set out his vision for a trade deal with the european union,

insisting britain will not have to follow the eu's rules in future. speaking in greenwich, the prime minister said he wanted a free trade agreement similar to the one the eu struck with canada, and warned he would be ready to walk away if he couldn't agree one. the eu's chief negotiator, michel barnier, said the eu wants a close trading relationship with the uk, but would not accept britain having "unfair competitive adva ntages". here's our political correspondent, helen catt. the break—up is done, but what comes next? in brussels and in london, two visions of a future relationship. good morning, everybody. in his first speech since the uk left the eu, borisjohnson set out what he wa nts. eu, borisjohnson set out what he wants. we want a thriving trade and economic relationship with the eu. pot... there is no need for a free trade agreement to involve accepting

eu rules on competition policy, subsidies, social protections and the environment or anything similar any more than the eu should be obliged to be that —— to accept uk rules. meanwhile, in brussels... we are ready to offer a highly ambitious trade deal is the central pillar of this partnership, including zero tariffs and zero quotas. but... we must agree specific guarantees to ensure a level playing field over the long—term. level playing field over the long-term. it is a gap negotiators will have to work out how to bridge in the coming months. borisjohnson has ruled out a norway style close relationship with the eu as a solution. instead, he wants an agreement like canada's, which has almost no tariffs but does have checks. if he can't have that, he said it will have to be an

arrangement like the australian one. it doesn't have a trade deal with the eu but is negotiating one and has side deals instead. those would involve customs checks on goods, and businesses relying on importing and exporting parts products will need time. they will also need to agree on fishing and service industries. the uk and eu did grow —— agree a broad outline, but it is open to interpretation and it will come down to the detail to make it work. both sides say a deal can be done, but getting there, particularly in such a short time, may mean a challenging few months ahead. in a moment we'll speak to adam fleming in brussels, but first our assistant political editor, norman smith, is in greenwich. that was the prime minister laying out his stall. what does it make you think of the months ahead? what we saw today was boris johnson trying

to set the tone for these crucial negotiations. he wants to go into them on the front foot with a more direct, a aggressive approach, if you like, than that of theresa may, hence his decision to hold the speech here in the grandeur and splendour of the royal naval college, with its echoes of nelson and our glory days as a maritime free trading nation. and his message was pretty blunt: we are not accepting rules and the jurisdiction of the european court. we are pursuing trade deals with other countries, including commonwealth countries, including commonwealth countries, some of the fastest—growing in the world. and on fishing, crucial to many eu coastal countries, british waters will be first and foremost for british boats, said mrjohnson. and any deal we do on fishing rights will only be an annual deal. at the end of that, if we can't reach any sort of agreement, well, we will still

prosper. today, it seems to me, was all about muscle flexing ahead of the negotiations, but be in no doubt, a trade deal with the eu is of huge importance to the british economy, and deals require compromise, whatever the nelson style rhetoric. white mike adam, in brussels, the view in brussels is that they appear to be standing firm at at least. michelle barnier said nothing he was unveiling was different from the political declaration on the principles agreed with the uk last year in the forward—looking bit of the divorce agreement. i think that reflects some frustration i picked up here in brussels about briefings that the uk government had given over the weekend which either accused the eu of going back on what it had agreed or suggested that maybe the uk was departing from what it had agreed. it has also become very clear that the two big early contentious issues will be the stuff about the level

playing field, what conditions will the uk be asked to sign up to on environmental standards, state aid for the economy, helping businesses asa for the economy, helping businesses as a price for that trade agreement — and also the fisheries agreement, which is a massive, massive priority round here. we also got interesting logistical details. michelle barnier thinks there will be 12 separate strands of negotiations covering different sectors, that they will start in march, and they will alternate between brussels and london, so it won'tjust be us here in brussels with our ears to the keyhole of the negotiating room. adam and norman, thank you, both. businesses are having to prepare for new trading arrangements with the eu. the biggest operator of ferries in the irish sea, stena line, says it expects there to be checks and inspections between great britain and northern ireland because of brexit. our economics editor, faisal islam, is here. this is all going to prove very important for business and the

economy. the take away from the press co nfe re nces economy. the take away from the press conferences that the uk government is preparing the ground for a more distant relationship than has been indicated before. there is talk of australia style, meaning accepting trade tariffs, taxes on trade. there is no deal between australia and the eu at the moment. i think there have been mixed m essa 9 es i think there have been mixed messages with business. they have been told by some cabinet ministers that there could be a close relationship and they should tell the government whether they want to be members of various european agencies, stick close to them, what is important for their businesses. so businesses have to prepare, and business delete government wants business delete government wants business to unleash investments. but they don't know what that relationship will be. the key area is the irish sea and the fairies. the biggest operator of ferries is spent online. they have been talking about extra checks notjust between great britain and the republic of ireland but with northern ireland.

he was a boss at stena line. —— here isa he was a boss at stena line. —— here is a boss. our final quarter of this year, i would say, is vital to us. if we know by then we don't have a trade deal and we have to default to let's say maximum checks as a hypothesis, then temporary infrastructure can be brought into play. what are we talking about? well, you need to have the space to do the necessary checks. you need to be able to house necessary officials from governments to carry out and perform their role to protect the border, which is important. it's an obligation, you could say, of being a port owner to the state. we still don't know the extent of these types of checks when the new arrangements come into force at the end of the year, but it is clear, if a deal was to be done, it could be less, and if technology was available it could be less. for now, these operators are planning on the basis that they will happen and they will happen on the british side of the irish sea. china has now confirmed more than 17,000 cases of coronavirus.

more than 360 people have died there. engineers in wuhan, the city where the outbreak began, have built a 1,000—bed hospital in just eight days. more than 7,500 people worked night and day on the project. here, 11 more evacuees have arrived and are in qurantine. 0ur health correspondent, dominic hughes, is in salford. these are british citizens who have been brought back from wuhan? british nationals and members of theirfamily. not british nationals and members of their family. not all of them are british, some are chinese. as we understand it, they landed at raf brize norton last night. they came out on a flight organised by french officials so they flew first to marseille and then were transferred to brize norton. 0n marseille and then were transferred to brize norton. on that flight, one of that group of 11 people fell ill or started to feel unwell and they did exactly the right thing, they isolated themselves and reported it

to health officials on the flight so when they got to brize norton they we re when they got to brize norton they were taken to a separate hospital for testing and the remaining ten people travelled here to the north west of england to arrowe park hospital, where they were put in quarantine along with those 83 people who arrived at the tail end of last week. there is one person undergoing tests. as i understand it, they reported fairly mild cold like symptoms but did exactly what was advised and alerted health officials that they weren't feeling 100%. thank you. our top story this lunchtime. the prime minister has promised "fundamental" changes to the way convicted terrorists are handled following yesterday's knife attack in south london. coming up — the secret trade in cheap diesel that's costing the taxpayer millions of pounds. coming up on bbc news in the next 15 minutes, all the sport. a new chapter for chris robshaw — the former england captain is leaving harlequins after 16 years

at the club. the 2020 race for the white house starts in earnest tonight, as voters in the us state of iowa choose who they want to be the democrats' candidate in november's presidential election. known as the iowa caucuses, the vote begins a state—by—state selection process. polls suggest the veteran senator, bernie sanders, holds a narrow lead over the former vice—president, joe biden. gary 0'donogue reports from the state capital, des moines. this is the heart of the american midwest. the centre of the cornbelt, a place where pigs outnumber people 7—1. but every four years, iowa becomes the centre of national politics — and this self—proclaimed democratic socialist insists he can beat donald trump.

let us go forward together, let us defeat donald trump. cheering. let us transform this country. thank you all very much. four years ago, bernie sanders was neck and neck with hillary clinton here in iowa. the enthusiasm he generated then has translated four years later. he is the candidate to beat. vying for the left of centre vote is another us senator, elizabeth warren. her pitch, a progressive who won't frighten off the moderates. but if iowans worry about their politics, they also worry about their football. sunday's super bowl, another huge contest. it's all competition, you've got to win. nobody wants second place. it's no good, everybody wants to win. so, i'm just ready for the super bowl, take it one step

at a time and then tomorrow i'll go to caucus and take my boys there to. so, what i'm asking for is for us to make history together on monday night. pete buttigieg has been the surprise of this campaign, a gay, small—town mayor, who is polling strongly. i've seen him speak six times now, and he'sjust a great candidate. i'm concerned that the rest of america will not vote for a gay candidate. really, though, the nomination race should bejoe biden's to lose. he is a former vice president and has the backing of the democratic establishment. but he's not running away with it. we can't turn four years of donald trump into an aberration, a historical aberration. but eight years, he'll change the country in a way we can't tolerate. we need you, we need you, we need you. doing well here can make all the difference. momentum for those who succeed, stalling into failure for those who do not.

there's a lot at stake. let's talk to gary now. clearly it's an important night ahead. yes, you can't win the presidential nomination tonight but you can probably lose it and some of those candidates will be feeling this is their last chance to stay in this is their last chance to stay in this race. among the top four, not much to choose between them. the spread is about seven or eight percentage points which means anyone of them could win it without there being a particular surprise. there isn't just one being a particular surprise. there isn'tjust one contest tonight, it's not about who wins, it's about who wins against two and who does better than they are expected to do. he does worst. because what this creates is a story, and narrative moving forward and only of delegates up moving forward and only of delegates upforgrabs moving forward and only of delegates up for grabs tonight, that's not a lot really. it's all about the about the momentum, the story and the character of your campaign and whether or not you can sustain it

not just with the voters whether or not you can sustain it notjust with the voters but whether or not you can sustain it not just with the voters but the donors as well going into those other states later this month and then into what they call super tuesday at the beginning of march, where 13 separate states vote in one go for a third of the delegates up for grabs. thank you. a former energy minister who was appointed to run the next un climate summit in glasgow has been sacked by the government. claire o'neill is now consulting lawyers. she has suggested ministers "could not cope" with an "independent" figure in charge. 0ur environment analyst, roger harrabin, is here. this is somebody who was an energy minister but was left in charge of this very important summit in november. why has she been sacked? it depends who you talk to. sources close to mrs 0'neill say that she has been too critical of the government or they feel the government or they feel the government has taken umbrage at her criticisms, she's been poking at them to go faster, she thinks that

progress is really stuck and the ministers from the different departments are vying for control. her supporters think she's been fired for that reason. there are other people i've spoken to who say she was a firework, she would explode regular meetings, she would swear at people and in her anxiety to get things done she went over the top in terms of what was diplomatically acceptable. most likely is that a bit of both of those answers is true but it leaves a very big hole to fill. the conference is massively important, it's in november and the uk are supposed to be corralling the opinion of all governments together to motivate them to tighten up the climate change targets. to lose the key figure in that in so short a time away from the conference is a real blow and we have to see how the government reacts. talking to supporters of her, they say they think the prime minister hasn't been

nearly active enough in this case and has simply paid lip service to climate change. we'll see how things transpire. thank you. red diesel — it's cheap fuel that costs about 85p a litre — it should only be used by farmers not by every day drivers. now motorists are being warned that they face heavy fines , or losing their cars, if they're caught with red diesel in theirfuel tanks. jonathan gibson reports. at this filling station forecourt in sheffield, anyone can buy red diesel as long as they don't use it on the road. so, what are these guys doing with it? there's a lot in that boot. we don't know where they're going or what they're going to use it for. it might be legit, but i'd hazard a guess it isn't. and when i approached them, it wasn't. afternoon, gents. what's with the red diesel? what red diesel? the red diesel you're pouring in that car. i'm from the bbc, by the way. thank you, guys. hold on, hold on. leave the camera alone, we want to know what you're doing, mate.

just a few questions, mate, that's all i want to ask. this isn't a victimless crime. the money being stolen from this fraud should be funnelled into the national health service, schools, police forces and so forth. but in birmingham, this guy is also filling up. hey, you're running that on red, mate? eh? are you running that on red? a little bit. yeah? it's still diesel, it's just got colouring in it. yeah? he buys it from this local supplier for 85p a litre. the pump says it's not for road use, but on the company website the tone is very different. there is a line in there about "illegally using red diesel is a serious criminal offence", but are they really allowed to encourage it? so, i'm checking them out. it's all right for the car and that? i can't tell you anything like that. as soon as i say it's for my car, he should stop the sale, but he doesn't.

and today i'm among regulars like the man i spoke to earlier. excuse me, sir. john gibson from the bbc. why are you filling your car with red diesel? why? yeah. i'm not taking any questions. the company supplying the diesel, gb fuels, is run by carlton beckford and his brother adrian. why are you selling red diesel illegally? illegally? sorry, it's illegal to put it into a car. we've always said that and that is it. but after the bbc approached them, they have made changes. no matter what you do, before you start pumping that diesel, you ask them people what they need it for. i can't be fairer than that, can i? he's also changed its website because anyone found using red diesel on the road faces prosecution. jonathan gibson, bbc news. and you can see that investigation in full on tonight's inside out on bbc one in the west midlands and yorkshire at 7:30 and everywhere

and thank you for all the people who've gone to see this movie in the cinemas. it's still on. laughter. much had been made of the fact that 20 out of 20 acting nominees at the baftas were white and the bafta president for the last decade, prince william, shared his frustration from the stage. we find ourselves talking again about the need to do more to ensure diversity in the sector and in the awards process. that simply cannot be right in this day and age. it was a theme whichjoaquin phoenix had spoken about when accepting his best actor forjoker. i think that it is the obligation of the people that have created and perpetuate and benefit from a system of repression to be the ones that dismantle it, so that's on us. applause and cheering. when it came to best actress, what's been dubbed the "reneesance" continues. renee zellweger winning her first

bafta in 16 years forjudy. ms garland, london town, which you have always loved so much, still loves you back. the acceptance speech which got the biggest laughs was brad pitt's for best supporting actor. despite him not being there. leaving his co—star margot robbie to read it out. "hey, britain. "heard you just became single. "welcome to the club." laughter. while the most emotional was michael ward's. the actor from blue story won the rising star award, voted for by the public. thank you to my dad because i know you're watching down on me. guiding and protecting me on thisjourney. i want to say thank you to my mum for believing in me and sacrificing everything for all of us to be here. you're a bafta winner. man, it's mad, right? i can't believe it. i know my energy‘s changed, right? i'm sure you can tell. i'm happy. the biggest loser of the night, the irishman. nominated ten times, it won nothing.

from the cast, two old—time movie legends had flown over especially. what is the moment like where you film a scene with robert de niro? well, if we can find him. you know. the irishman, we were able to have some nice scenes. i was very happy to be able to do those. finally. i won for godfather part two? yeah! sorry to break the news to you! oh, my god. i thought i won for serpico! next up, on sunday, the oscars. and a word of warning for 1917. the last five films to win at the baftas have all been beaten at the biggest awards of them all. last man standing. colin patterson, bbc news. time for a look at the weather. here's helen willetts. the main thing to be concerned about is the strength of the winds today and tomorrow. we also have quite a lot of cloud over the country and an

array of
