detectives are hunting for one suspect. they say the attacks were linked but there's no evidence they were terror related. chief superintendent steve graham briefed reporters on the inquiry in the last hour. just after 1230 last night, the police received reports of a stabbing incident in constitution hill, just to the north of the city centre. shortly after, a number of other incidents were reported in livery streets, then coming down to irving street and then to hurst street. at each of those incidents, a number of stabbings took place. as a number of stabbings took place. as a result of that, i am sorry to say that one person has died of the injuries that they received full stop to other people remain in hospital critically injured, and are still being worked upon as a result of the injuries that they sustained during that attack. five other

people received relatively minor injuries, some of whom have been discharged from hospital, and all of whom were treated for relatively minor injuries. given the fact we are still in the early stages of the enquiry, i hope you appreciate i can't go on to the details of those people who have been injured, and clearly in terms of the fatality. what i can do is reassure you all that they are going to be supported and their families will be supported by specially trained officers. as a result of this, we have launched a murder enquiry. clearly, we're still in the early stages, but what i can say is that we are treating all full of those incidents as a linked series. we are searching for one suspect, and enquiries to identify and then it says that suspect are ongoing. given the nature of the fa ct we ongoing. given the nature of the fact we are talking about the city centre, there is extensive cctv footage to review. at this stage, we are unable to release any of the cctv imagery, but as soon as we can,

we will do so, because what we are going to do is make an appeal to anyone who was in the area at that time to help us trace and identify the subject. so, if you were any birmingham city centre last night sometime between 12:30pm and 2:30am in the areas are described, all the way down from constitution hell around to hurst street, if you saw anything, please contact the police. if you are taking any sort of social media photographs, if you have any video footage, please contact us and we won't make arrangements for the west midlands police website for you to submit that evident so that we can't review it with all the other cctv that we are currently trawling through. clearly, this could be a significant task, and so i would ask people to be a us whilst we do that. there are significant efforts taking place as i speak to trace this subject, answer all that we will see is that we have got a significant

number of highly trained detectives reviewing the cctv and reviewing all the other evidence that is going to be gathered the scenes. the four scenes that i have described are all cordoned off, and it will be subject to significant and forensic searching. clearly, our main objective at the moment is to identify those subjects, under best way of doing that is to gather and secure all the evidence the scenes. at the same time, because we have not caught this offender as yet, i know that may be some people will be nervous. what i will say is that there is a significant uniform please presents both armed and unarmed within birmingham city centre today, so people are coming to birmingham city centre, i would say to them, do not be afraid, but be alert. clearly, with all the stuff we have ongoing around a pandemic, people are more wary of social distancing, but if you see people coming and approaching you who you are not happy with, then please do give them a wide berth, but what we are not saying at the

moment is that birmingham is not a safe place to be. west midlands police and crime commissioner david jamieson said a rise in violence was ‘almost inevitable' because of the pent—up frustration caused by the pandemic. we are well used on a saturday, a friday and saturday night, to activity, but i think what is different is the randomness of this particular event, but also the number of other events that were happening as well and the amount of virus that was happening is actually very, very disturbing. i have been saying for some time in the context of covid—19, that a lot of the pent—up feelings that people have of not being able to get out of, and combine that with people who are now unsure about their future, about

their jobs, unsure about their future, about theirjobs, it was almost inevitable that we would see a growth in violence. and i am not saying that this is directly related to that, but nevertheless we are seeing now a growth of violence amongst younger people, particularly younger males, we are seeing that is growing across the region. my fear is that if we don't address that and some of the underlying problems, with some urgency, then we could see that role. but notwithstanding that, birmingham isa role. but notwithstanding that, birmingham is a good place, it is a good place to be, it is a safe city, and it is regrettable that we have this awful incident happening last night, but i am sure that want to perturb people from coming into the city centre either to work or shop 01’ city centre either to work or shop or to enjoy themselves as they usually do. in the past hour, the home secretary priti patel has tweeted, saying...

"all my thoughts are with those affected by the shocking incident in birmingham last night. 0ur emergency services are working hard to find whoever is responsible and bring them to justice. anyone with information should contact west midlands police.‘ 0ur correspondent phil mackie is in birmingham. that appealfor that appeal for information really crucial to the police. they were telling us in the news conference, because a lot of people were in the city centre they must have seen what happened, and they are appealing for people who took photographs or videos to come forward. and actually, at that time, the first stabbing took place at around half past midnight, and the next hour and a half, a half, a lot of people would have been making their way home, so people might have been walking past some of these incidents and may have grabbed some footage, taken some pictures that would be of real use to west midlands police and their ongoing enquiry, so it is a developing situation as you know, because the man who is suspected of

carrying out these random attacks still at large. so, the police have said they have loads of cctv cameras across the city centre. it is going to ta ke across the city centre. it is going to take some time to go through all of that, but anybody who was out last night i may have key information, they are really urging them to get in touch, because it is an ongoing, developing situation with the man responsible for at least one death, and two more people in critical condition in hospital, and other stubbies, and he is still out there. and one single suspect they say they are looking out for, how they say they have not managed to apprehend, but they haven't told us to apprehend, but they haven't told us what motivation there was, they have ruled that terror, they are not saying this was a terror —related crime, it wasn't a hate —related crime, it wasn't a hate —related crime or a gang—related crime but they are not telling us exactly what they are not telling us exactly what the motivation was. no, they have built a lot out, but i suppose until they get the person they are looking for, they probably won't have an id

if there was a motive at all, because they have ruled out all of those things that we thought might have had some influence on what happened does not. there was also a lot of people out, it was a saturday night. the hurst street area, around the arcadian centre in birmingham can be really busy, there are lots of clu bs can be really busy, there are lots of clubs and bars of under, and we had from people there were some sort of low level typical saturday night violence going on. initially, there we re violence going on. initially, there were thoughts that maybe this was more widespread, that the police they are adamant this one —— but the police were adamant this one making his way slowly and meticulously through the city centre randomly attacking people and stabbing them. a really frightening night for anyone who was out last night, and obviously sympathies have been expressed by the ambulance service, by the police and crime commissioner and west midlands please for the victims and their relatives. in terms of the casualties, one fatality, we know. several people injured, but two of them critically

ill, and fighting for their lives in hospital. yes. nathan hudson from west midlands ambulance service said they had a seven stabbings, three of whom were critical, and one of them, a man, has died. the other to whom were critical, and one of them, a man, has died. the otherto in hospital in critical condition. so concerns about them. the others are not necessarily still in hospital. it wasn't entirely clear. some of them have left, maybe all of them. slightly less serious stab wounds, but a big big operation for all the emergency services last night, and especially for west midlands army is, who were helped by volunteers from stjohn's ambulance, who are often out on a saturday nightjust in case. quite a shocking night for all of those emergency workers who are dealing with this ongoing, developing situation in the early hours. indeed. thank you for bringing us up—to—date. 0ur correspondent, who was at that

police news conference in birmingham just a few minutes ago. tougher coronavirus measures are being imposed in bolton in greater manchester because of a rising number of cases. the infection rate is now the highest in england. the increase is being driven by a spike among younger people. simonjones has this report. "everyone in bolton must play their part". that's the plea from the local council as tighter restrictions are introduced. the infection rate has risen to 99 cases per 100,000 people per week, the highest in england, with people aged between 18 and 49 accounting for 90% of cases. residents are now being told to only use public transport for essential purposes and not to mix with other households in any setting — indoors and outdoors — unless part of a support bubble. although some restrictions are being lifted elsewhere, a ban on people from different households meeting indoors remains in most areas of greater manchester. the evidence suggests that it's still the home and gatherings in the home where we are seeing

the most community transmission. let's be honest, people behave differently in the home, it is not as regulated as a public space, and that's why the restrictions are still there. the aim is to avoid a more draconian local lockdown, like the one seen in leicester injune, but there is a growing list of coronavirus hot spots. in leeds, students are about to return to their studies, and officials are worried young people are becoming complacent. other areas added to public health england's watchlist are south tyneside, middlesbrough, corby and kettering. last week, restrictions on visiting other households were reintroduced in glasgow. extra testing is being promised in problem areas, but the think tank, the health foundation, is warning that the public don't think official coronavirus guidelines are clear enough, especially about who they can meet and where. simon jones, bbc news. australian officials have extended the strict coronavirus lockdown in melbourne. the city is at the centre of australia's second wave

of infections, and has already been under lockdown for six weeks. the premier of the state of victoria said the measures would remain until at least the 28th of september. earlier, our correspondent phil mercer said the move wasn't a surprise. this will add to the frustration of five million people in australia's second most populous city, who are facing even more time, essentially, in protective custody at home. what this means is that hundreds of thousands of workers and schoolchildren will remain at home. and the state premier, daniel andrews, saying that these very strict measures are needed in order to head off the risk of a third wave of infections. if you look at the statistics around australia, this is a country that since the pandemic began, ben, has had around 26,000 known coronavirus cases, more than 750 people have died. three quarters of those known cases have been in victoria,

and 90% of the fatalities. so, victoria very much at the epicentre of australia's coronavirus emergency, and the state government down there saying these tough measures are needed so that eventually the city of melbourne can emerge from hibernation, can emerge from that lockdown. and is there general popular support for those measures, do you think? i think there is a mixture of frustration, uncertainty and fear. the mandatory wearing of face coverings is still in force. so, many people in melbourne are very nervous about the future, and, of course, many of them asking exactly when will things get back to normal, and what will that normal look like? now, the authorities in victoria are saying that some of the restrictions will be eased in a week's time. the curfew will be slightly amended to make it a bit later that people in melbourne can be out,

but what they are saying, the state government, ben, in the weeks and months to come, those restrictions will only be significantly lifted when the number of new daily coronavirus infections goes down into single digits. so, at the moment, we had 63 new cases reported in victoria overnight, so it would seem that the state still has a long way before it gets to anything resembling what life was like before the pandemic. large crowds are expected to protest in belarus again today, calling for the country's president to step down. it's the fourth weekend of demonstrations since alexander lukashenko claimed victory in the election that was widely seen as rigged. jonah fisher is in minsk with more about what is expected later on.

we are now four weeks on from the election and this will be the fourth sunday in which large demonstrations are expected to take place. over the last few sundays there have been crowds in excess of 100,000. we could potentially see a similar number again today. the last few days has seen the security forces here, the 0mon, the riot police, attempt to try and disrupt, to crackdown on demonstrators on the streets here in minsk. so, we have seen repeatedly scenes in which the 0mon, these riot police, dressed all in black with balaclavas over their heads, have got out of unmarked minivans and dragged people who are participating in demonstrations, or perhaps even just carrying the red—and—white flag, which is illegal here in belarus at the moment, and dragging them into the minivans and taking them away. so, despite those efforts from the authorities to prevent demonstrations taking place, they have continued on a daily basis. we willjust have to see in a few hours' time how many turn out for this sunday demonstration. the foreign secretary has said he wants to see people return

to work in towns and cities in the uk to try to revive the economy. dominic raab said it was important to send a message that we need to get britain back up and running. but labour has said it's extremely concerned about the government's position, and that leadership and a strategy are needed. 0ur political correspondent nick eardley has more. i think it is increasingly becoming the big priority for the government, trying to figure out, after it got schools in england back, how to tempt people back to offices across the uk, partly because they think it would be good for the workforce, but also partly because in many city centres and many business districts, the economies have just completely nosedived over the last few weeks. this morning, we got a very stark warning from the foreign secretary that that needs to happen to protect the economy. it is damaging to the economy.

we have seen lockdown, a massive shrinking of the economy. we are trying to bounce back as strong as possible. the bank of england suggests 18% growth in this quarter alone. we have seen some good news this week — amazon investing in 7000 newjobs. so, the important thing is, we'll need to do a bit more remote working in the future, but it does make a difference. the economy needs to have people back at work, unless — and this is really important — unless there is a good health reason why it shouldn't happen, or unless the employer cannot put in place the covid—secure workplace that we all need. but employers are doing that, and i think it is important to send the message that we need to get back up and running, the economy motoring on all cylinders. there are questions about that — one of them is the health implicatoins. we know that government experts have warned that we could be reaching the limits of what can be opened up safely, and potentially if you start opening offices at the same time as schools, you could see an increase

in the number of cases of the virus. there is also a question about whether there is enough reassurance there, and some of the opposition parties in the uk are raising the question about whether the government has explained enough about why people need to be back at work — in the office, anyway — but how that is going to look and how it is going to be safe. have a listen to labour's shadow home secretary. we have supported the gradual reopening of the economy, but i am extremely concerned about the government's position on this, because there has to be a very strong, robust strategy of communication in which people have confidence, and if that doesn't exist, then people will not go back to the office. but i think we have to be very clear, firstly, this is not to return to work. people have been working from home throughout the pandemic. many people, our key workers, have been out working throughout

and not had that ability to stay at home, so it is a return to the office rather than a return to work. and what we cannot have is people getting with the sack, for example, if they don't want to go back to the office, or people who had previously been shielding feel they had been forced into it. we need leadership from the government, a real strategy about how this can be achieved that people can have confidence and to move forward. that is labour's view. there are different guidelines in different parts of the uk as well, and it is worth remembering that in scotland, wales and northern ireland, the message is still very much to work from home where possible. we have had a message as well on the subject of brexit from the chief british brexit negotiator, lord frost, and it is a pretty tough message for the eu. "we are not scared and we will not blink." yeah, a rare public intervention from the chief negotiator basically saying that the uk isn't going to become what he calls a client state of the european union. remember, the uk left the eu.

britain is now in the transition period, where very little changes. at the moment, they are trying to negotiate a long—term trade deal, and two of the sticking points are fishing and whether the uk has to stick to european rules when it comes to state aid. that is something that the uk government is making completely clear that it doesn't want to do, and some pretty strong rhetoric from david frost this morning, also saying that in the past the uk government has blinked when it was up against the wall with europe. very much the government trying to send a message that it is not prepared to do that again, but on the european side they are saying, compromise needs to come from all sides, and we have heard this before. he created some of the most iconic images of the swinging sixties in london. now, at the age of 82, the iconic photographer david bailey he created some of the most iconic images has put on a new exhibition in the capital. alex stanger has been to meet him.

these are the never seen before oil paintings of one of the uk's best known artists — photographer david bailey. you were saying before that you have been painting since you were really young? three. yes. been 80 years. 80 years and i end up with that! instead of hanging on the walls of a gallery, david bailey paintings are actually here in a shop in the west end of london. i like the idea, i like the idea of anything that's different. sort of leads somewhere else and things are changing rapidly now with this silly virus thing. things aren't going to be the same as they were, which is quite exciting. and the best way to see this exhibition is apparently from the number 75. 0n the bus is the best. when you drive up oxford street, especially if it's raining, you get on the front of the bus, i did it last time, it's most exciting. 0nly lasts three minutes or two minutes but it's worth doing! i do them because i like doing them. like a child really.

dabbling with his paints. i used to scribble in books when i was a kid. i think being dyslexic helps because you never know what you're going to do. like taking a picture. it's difficult. i drive my assistants mad, they say how are we going to do it and i don't know until i met the person and then when i meet the person i use them to find out how we are going to do their picture. and those pictures have been doing a roaring trade during lockdown. sales of prints are rocketing. i think people have time to think about things. when they are on lockdown. they sort of thought, maybe i've always fancied buying a david bailey print! which ones have been the most popular? jean shrimpton is always popular, always popular. she's the most popular one. even if you put her on the internet, she gets more hits than anybody else. the winsome david bailey who created the famous modeljean shrimpton and married the famous mother catherine deneuve, shows how to bring out the best in a woman. is there anybody that you would have liked to have photographed that

you never managed to photograph? i've done everybody i like. i mean, there's ones i missed. i always wanted to do the cuban guy, castro, but i don't have any regrets because you can't do everybody. everybody has got a story to tell, everybody, even the most boring person has got a story if you dig deep enough. several boats have sunk on a lake in the us state of texas while taking part in a parade to support president trump in november 5 election. the sheriff 5 office for travis county said some boats took on water, some stalled and others capsized. it said there was no evidence of sabotage, and no injuries were reported. now, if you're feeling a bit sluggish this weekend, this man might have an idea that will make you feel more alert. austrian athletejosef koeberl has set a new world record for standing in a box of ice cubes. he kept his cool for two hours,

30 minutes and 57 seconds — beating his own record by half an hour. he wore only a pair of swimming trunks but said his "positive thoughts" kept him warm. now it's time for a look at the weather. for most of us, overall, the weather isn't looking bad at all. a mixture of sunny spells, a few fleeting showers. that is pretty much it. if you are unlucky, you might run into a downpour with thunder and lightning. here is a satellite picture, and we have clouds streaming and from the north—west. fairly thin, broken cloud, so sunny spells are getting through. here are the showers through the afternoon, across parts of northern england and wales, just that possibility of a downpour across the south in the afternoon, but for the vast majority of the uk, it is dry weather, and

temperatures getting up into the high teens, possibly 20 degrees in afternoon in london. tonight, it stays dry in england and wales, but rain is expected in scotland and northern ireland, certainly by the end of the night. belfast and glasgow, it looks like it will be a 5°99y glasgow, it looks like it will be a soggy monday morning. temperatures overnight, around 10 degrees. 0n monday, high—pressure to the south of the country, keeping things dry for the southern county. and a north, we have weatherfronts, but we are also close to low pressure, so more we are also close to low pressure, so more of a breeze. 0ne we are also close to low pressure, so more of a breeze. one day across the western isles of scotland, and you can the western isles of scotland, and you can see the western isles of scotland, and you can see the cloud and rain moving across scotland, northern ireland, the lake district, the north—west, and northern bills. but the south—east and east anglia seem quite right on monday, with temperatures getting up to around 21 degrees. tuesday, and through the middle of the week, high pressure to the south, undercurrent of slightly warmer, more humid air, it is going to feel really muggy and cloudy and

murky, particularly around western areas of the uk. we get drizzle and light ring around the western coast, the coast of wales down into the south—west too. in these, however, the clouds often break up. and if they do, if plenty sunny spells develop, we could see temperatures up develop, we could see temperatures up to 25 degrees. towards the end of the route, by thursday, so we will see fresher air coming and through the north. a bit of a temperjumped up the north. a bit of a temperjumped up towards towcester, but on the whole, apart from fair bit of cloud, the weather isn't looking too bad 00:28:39,035 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 for most of us. goodbye.
