this is bbc news. i'm lukwesa burak. the headlines at 5pm. side by side in grief — the prime minister and leader of the opposition visit the scene where tory mp sir david amess was killed yesterday. police say they're treating the killing as a terrorist incident, as tributes are paid from across the world of politics. he was a man of the people. he was absolutely there for everyone. he was a much—loved parliamentarian. to me, he was a dear and loyalfriend. the killing has resurfaced the dilemma facing mps over security at their surgeries, and whether it would be safer to hold them virtually. we don't want to become like other countries, other mps when they visit us, they are aghast that we meet our

constituents face—to—face. i think we want to carry on doing that and i think we can but we have to do it in a way that is safer. in southend, residents gathered outside the civic centre for a minute's silence to remember sir david. good evening. the prime minister, borisjohnson, and the leader of the opposition, sir keir starmer, have laid flowers together at the site of the fatal stabbing of the mp, sir david amess, in essex. sir david was killed during a constituency surgery in leigh—on—sea yesterday. the police are treating the attack as a terrorist incident which is potentially "linked

to islamist extremism". a 25—year—old man who was arrested at the scene remains in custody and searches have been carried out at two addresses in london. our home affairs correspondent, dominic casciani, reports. a moment of unity across the political divide. two leaders representing a shocked nation. this morning, borisjohnson and the labour leader, keir starmer, stood together on a quiet road in leigh—on—sea, where sir david amess lost his life. the committed constituency mp who, at the age of 69, showed no sign of giving up his work or his community. campaigning on every issue that mattered — climate change, cycling, veterans and even local dogs. less than 24—hours ago, david was in his own constituency doing a local advice surgery, which is something all mps do, week in, week out. of course david, as i knew him and we all knew him,

was a passionate advocate and champion for southend, this wonderful town, and with that, of course, he was a man of the people. the community has been hit sideways by this, it's notjust a member of parliament, notjust the local member of parliament, but he did really touch people's lives in a way that most mps doesn't manage to do. today the belfairs methodist church remains behind a cordon, detectives still at the scene where the suspected attacker was arrested and a knife recovered. overnight, scotland yard said sir david's death was being investigated as an act of terrorism motivated by islamist extremism. the 25—yearold man arrested at the scene remains in custody and security officials have told the bbc that he wasn't on mi5�*s main database of suspects, but there have been two searches overnight at addresses in london.

signs of the huge operation now under way to understand what happened and more about this man's life. and nearby, shock at sir david's constituency office, the flag at half—mast. i don't think it's completely sunk in yet, but you only have to look at the floral tributes that are outside the constituency office here. a man of the people being mourned by the people, and a community and nation asking why. joining me now is martin hewitt, chair of the national police chiefs' council. thank you forjoining us here this afternoon. thank you for “oining us here this afternoon. ,, . , ., thank you for “oining us here this afternoon. ,, . ~ , thank you for “oining us here this afternoon. ~ , ., afternoon. security and mps, how tricky balance _ afternoon. security and mps, how tricky balance is _ afternoon. security and mps, how tricky balance is it _ afternoon. security and mps, how tricky balance is it to _ afternoon. security and mps, how tricky balance is it to achieve? - afternoon. security and mps, how tricky balance is it to achieve? i l tricky balance is it to achieve? i think it is a really difficult balance to achieve because all our members of parliament, and we have heard so many parliamentarians over the last 2a hours talking about how

they balance their sense of duty and responsibility to be accessible to their constituents but at the same time keeping safe, so police forces across the country worked closely with members of parliament and there is obviously the operation that takes place in westminster, but as everyone knows, the parliamentarians spend a lot of time in their constituencies and we run an operation which was started after the awful murder ofjoe —— jo cox. and so what we have done, yesterday afternoon i met with all chief constables from across the country and we have reached out to every member of parliamentjust to provide some reassurance to ensure that they understand what is available to them in terms of security and particularly to think about events that were coming up in the next few

days, and we have reached out to every single member of parliament. the vast majority of haddo conversation and would use this as any opportunity to reach out to mep —— any mp who hasn't made contact with the police to do so, so that we can do everything we can to provide guidance and any additional security information they might need over the coming days. information they might need over the coming days— coming days. martin, r all mps recetive coming days. martin, r all mps receptive to _ coming days. martin, r all mps receptive to the _ coming days. martin, r all mps receptive to the idea _ coming days. martin, r all mps receptive to the idea of - coming days. martin, r all mps receptive to the idea of a - coming days. martin, r all mps l receptive to the idea of a security presence? because this idea of their right to go out and meet constituents, are they comfortable with the police presence? because that may be where it goes. there rarely visible _ that may be where it goes. there rarely visible presence _ that may be where it goes. there rarely visible presence currently, | rarely visible presence currently, and of course we would always work on any intelligence that there was around a specific issue or a specific threat, but you are

absolutely right and i think members of parliament have been really clear over the last 2a hours, their sense of responsibility and being accessible to their constituents is incredibly strong and is part of our democratic process. but i think after the awful events of yesterday and sir david's murder, we all need to look and we work closely with the parliamentary security department, we work very closely and i think we will continue to work very closely as i'm sure everyone will want to look at what measures need to be taken as we go forward. this means there will be — taken as we go forward. this means there will be an _ taken as we go forward. this means there will be an increase _ taken as we go forward. this means there will be an increase on - taken as we go forward. this means there will be an increase on the - there will be an increase on the resources to provide security for local mps. just give us an idea of what that will involve in terms of resources and funding, because certainly since 2016, from 160,000,

you will correct me, the cost for security of mps has gone to 2 million i believe?— security of mps has gone to 2 million i believe? that is a cost decided by _ million i believe? that is a cost decided by parliament - million i believe? that is a cost decided by parliament so - million i believe? that is a cost decided by parliament so it - million i believe? that is a cost decided by parliament so it is l decided by parliament so it is important mp security is controlled by the parliamentary security department, and as i say we work really closely. policing stands ready to do what we need to do and what we can do to provide the right level of security for our elected representatives around the country and obviously when they are at the palace of westminster. we all need to look at what comes out of the investigation into this particular case and then more broadly looking at how we found the balance collectively to provide the right level of security to prevent awful incidents like we saw yesterday but at the same time allowing the parliamentarians to do their role in the way they clearly want to undertake their role.- the way they clearly want to undertake their role. martin hewitt, chair of the — undertake their role. martin hewitt, chair of the national _ undertake their role. martin hewitt, chair of the national police -

animal welfare and has been our patron for quite a while. he has always spoken up for animal welfare and the environment, and he has been and the environment, and he has been a strong, powerful voice, and we miss him terribly. ihe a strong, powerful voice, and we miss him terribly.— miss him terribly. he did a lot of work for fox _ miss him terribly. he did a lot of work for fox hunting. _ miss him terribly. he did a lot of work for fox hunting. we - miss him terribly. he did a lot of work for fox hunting. we are - miss him terribly. he did a lot of- work for fox hunting. we are hearing work forfox hunting. we are hearing about his passion for animal rights, animal welfare, about his passion for animal rights, animalwelfare, even about his passion for animal rights, animal welfare, even going up against his own party? animalwelfare, even going up against his own party?- animalwelfare, even going up against his own party? well, it is something _ against his own party? well, it is something he — against his own party? well, it is something he felt _ against his own party? well, it is something he felt very _ against his own party? well, it is something he felt very strongly l something he felt very strongly about, as do many conservative supporters. this is what sir david amess recognised. he came together with our sister organisation, conservatives against fox hunting, to represent the conservative supporters, the majority of conservative supporters who were against fox hunting. he was very vocal on this and stood his ground and encouraged many conservative mps along with sir roger gale, who also

was a very powerful voice against the return of fox hunting, to repeal the return of fox hunting, to repeal the hunting act 2004, and the number of conservative mps increased significantly to a point that if a free vote was called, it could no longer be repealed. but sir david amess and the conservative animal welfare foundation wanted to move away from this toxic issue and focus on positive issues like ending live animal exports for slaughter, ending big—band crates, ending cages for laying hens. in fact, big—band crates, ending cages for laying hens. infact, sir big—band crates, ending cages for laying hens. in fact, sir david amess led a ten minute rule bill only earlier this year in march. he was very passionate about this. also

sponsored a bill led our other patron, henry smith mp, to end cages for laying hens called beatrice's bill and he spoke about this only last week at our event in the party conference before a room full of conservative mps and councillors and the deputy pm, dominic raab, and secretary of state, george eustice. so he has been a powerful voice for animal welfare for many years, well, for decades. animal welfare for many years, well, for decades-— for decades. lorraine, i'm so sorry to interruot. _ for decades. lorraine, i'm so sorry to interrupt, but _ for decades. lorraine, i'm so sorry to interrupt, but we _ for decades. lorraine, i'm so sorry to interrupt, but we have - for decades. lorraine, i'm so sorry to interrupt, but we have just - for decades. lorraine, i'm so sorry to interrupt, but we have just run l to interrupt, but we have just run out of time. lorraine platt, the founding patron of the conservative animal welfare foundation. thank you. just going to take you to southend and show you some of the reaction earlier this afternoon of representatives of three mosques

there. sir david amess, he was our great friend, our guardian, and he used to attend our programmes, our celebrations, so we greatly miss him and he will be always missed, and we are very sad. and the whole community in southend are really shocked and we show our respect to his memories here today. our sincere condolences go to the family. he's known me and the family and everyone in the community for years, he's known me since i was a child. he's a close family friend as well. to go like that and his family to... his life to cut short is devastating, the way he's gone. again, our wishes and our condolences go out to the family. did any of you know him personally? yeah, we all... yes, i knew him personally, since he moved here. since 1983 i knew him.

but he was really an english gentleman. he was so kind to our community as well as the whole of southend. he has a very smiley face always. i can't believe it, what has happened to him.

the fatal stabbing of the mp david amess is now being investigated as an act of terrorism. police say it may be "linked to islamist extremism" the prime minister and labour leader have laid flowers at the church in leigh—on—sea, where sir david was stabbed multiple times while meeting constituents. it's emerged friends had warned sir david of the risks faced by mps — the home secretary say politicians�* roles must not change. we live in an open society, a democracy. we cannot be cowed by any individual, or any motivation, people with motives, to stop us from functioning. as the investigation continues, officials say the 25—year—old man

in custody was not on a database of terror suspects. also this evening: the supermarket morrisons say they've been forced to delay opening new stores due to shortages of staff and stock. and there is the hat—trick! and a 5—0 win for liverpool makes a miserable start for claudio ranieri as watford's new manager. good afternoon. the prime minister, borisjohnson, and the leader of the opposition, sir keir starmer, have laid flowers together at the site of the fatal stabbing of the mp sir david amess in essex. sir david was killed during a constituency surgery in leigh—on—sea yesterday.

the police say they are treating the attack as a terrorist incident which is potentially "linked to islamist extremism". a 25—year—old man who was arrested at the scene remains in custody, and searches have been carried out at two addresses in london. our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford is in leigh—on—sea. daniel. events yesterday has given wa toda daniel. events yesterday has given way today to _ daniel. events yesterday has given way today to a _ daniel. events yesterday has given way today to a kind _ daniel. events yesterday has given way today to a kind of _ daniel. events yesterday has given way today to a kind of deep - daniel. events yesterday has given i way today to a kind of deep sadness. all day long, we have been seeing people bringing flowers, some weeping openly and the day began by a sombre visit from some of sir david's most senior colleague mps. a united front in the face of a suspected terrorist attack. the prime minister, the leader of the opposition, the speaker of the house of commons and the home secretary. four of the most senior politicians in the land at the church today where sir david amess mp was murdered. he was killed doing a job that he loved,

serving his own constituents as an elected democratic member. and, of course, acts of this are absolutely wrong and we cannot let that get in the way of our functioning democracy. it was formally declared a terrorist incident late last night, with forensic specialists poring over the crime scene, counterterrorism detectives are leading the investigation. the early enquiries suggesting the motive was islamist extremism. through friends, eyewitnesses have suggested that the attacker waited in the queue at sir david's constituency surgery yesterday, before stabbing the mp several times with a knife and then waiting for police to arrive. sir david was known and loved for his hands—on approach with voters and those who have campaigned with him had warned him of the risks. i used to go out on the doorsteps on the cold, dark nights in the rain and i used to be a bodyguard, many years ago. i said, "david, you should have somebody with you on these things, it's not safe". southend has two representatives

in parliament and the other mp, james duddridge, paid this emotional tribute to his friend. the community hasjust been hit sideways by this. it's notjust a member of parliament, notjust the local member of parliament but he really did touch people's lives in a way that most mps don't manage to do. at southend civic centre this afternoon, a simple ceremony to remember an mp that not everyone agreed with but who everyone respected and loved. # amazing grace... #. daniel sandford, bbc news, leigh—on—sea. a review has begun into the security of mps when meeting their constituents — something seen by many as central to their role. one senior mp — tobias ellwood — has suggested that face—to—face meetings should no longer take place. our political correspondent damian grammaticas reports. around the country today, mps

continuing to hold their surgeries. the mp in the peak district saying he will keep doing this all year round. craig williams in montgomeryshire thanking police for being there to give reassurance and kieren fallon in cheshire saying we must not let people force us to do things differently. but already there are changes. here in south wales, a police guard for an mp's coffee morning. we wales, a police guard for an mp's coffee morning.— wales, a police guard for an mp's coffee morning. wales, a police guard for an mp's coffee morninu. ~ ., . ., coffee morning. we now have cctv at the front and — coffee morning. we now have cctv at the front and rear _ coffee morning. we now have cctv at the front and rear of _ coffee morning. we now have cctv at the front and rear of the _ coffee morning. we now have cctv at the front and rear of the building. - the front and rear of the building. we had to have new security fitted onto the front and rear doors. we have panic alarms in the constituency office that staff often wear what round their necks. we have installed panic alarms at my front door and decide on my bed. this has become too much of the new normal. mps security was reviewed afterjo cox was murdered five years ago, shot and stabbed by a violent white supremacist as she left a constituency meeting to stop in

2010, stephen timms was attacked by women who had watched radical islamic sermons online. and in 2017, four passer—by and pc keith palmer were killed outside parliament in what the police called an act of islamist —related terror. the mp who was here that day and try to save kasey palmer's live has said meeting constituents is vital but they should be paused. the home secretary has announced a review of mp security and he said that should be completed first. i security and he said that should be completed first.— security and he said that should be completed first. i would recommend that no mp has _ completed first. i would recommend that no mp has a _ completed first. i would recommend that no mp has a direct _ completed first. i would recommend that no mp has a direct surgery - that no mp has a direct surgery until you can move to zoom. you can achieve a lot over the telephone, you can get things moving far faster than waiting for the surgery date as well. �* ., ~ ,, well. but for david amess meeting constituents _ well. but for david amess meeting constituents was _ well. but for david amess meeting constituents was a _ well. but for david amess meeting constituents was a vital _ well. but for david amess meeting constituents was a vital part - well. but for david amess meeting constituents was a vital part of - well. but for david amess meeting constituents was a vital part of his | constituents was a vital part of his job. so the question now is how much further should security be tightened? many believe things have to be reappraised but mps themselves must decide. it is to be reappraised but mps themselves must decide. , ., ., , ., to be reappraised but mps themselves

terms of phones and laptops and any communications. it is still the feeling amongst detectives investigating this case that the attacker acted alone. at the moment they are not looking for any other suspects. they do have a man in custody. he was someone who was arrested here and because he's being held on suspicion of murder they can hold him for about another three days before they would have to make a decision about charging or releasing. it is worth staying the security service m15 say the man in custody is not someone who has previously been a formal subject of interest for them. previously been a formal sub'ect of interest for them.�* previously been a formal sub'ect of interest for them. daniel, thank you very much- — britain's fourth biggest supermarket, morrisons, has warned that labour shortages are delaying new store openings and products reaching shelves. its chief executive david potts told the times newspaper that more visas are needed for foreign workers. it follows measures announced by the government to reduce the pressure on supply chains. our business correspondent katy austin reports. the global supply chain is under

so what are the trojan asteroids? there asteroids which orbit withjupiter around the sun that ultimately hold the cruise to the formation of our solar system... lucy's giant solar panels would only generate enough electricity to power a few light bulbs on earth but around jupiter, it's enough to reach the trojan asteroids and ask questions like — what they made of and where do come from? by going to visit a large number, eight asteroids in total, over the mission lifetime, will really better understand all about the asteroids. so if you only see one, maybe you got a bit of a funny one but by seeing eight, you get to really understand what's going on in this population. scientists want lucy to test their theory that the early solar system was juggled around by gravity with some objects being thrown in and others out, just like billiard balls. but they'll need patience. lucy's expected to be operating around asteroids for the next 12 years. duncan kennedy, bbc news.
