hello and welcome if you re watching in the uk or around the world. as we come on air, whitehall officials have confirmed to the bbc the name of a 25—year old man held in custody for the alleged murder of sir david amess mp. he is ali harbi ali of somali heritage. earlier, the prime minister, borisjohnson, and the leader of the opposition, sir keir starmer, laid flowers together at the site of the fatal stabbing, which happened during a constituency surgery yesterday.

a candle lit vigil for sir david has been held in leigh—on—sea. the police say they are treating the attack as a terrorist incident which is potentially "linked to islamist extremism". our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford reports. 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, counter terrorism 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. robert largan in the peak district saying he'll "keep doing this all year round." craig williams in montgomeryshire thanking welsh police for being there to give reassurance, and kieran mullan 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 now have cctv at 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 around their necks. we have installed panic alarms at my front door, at the side of my bed. you know, 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. in 2010, stephen timms was attacked by women who had watched radical islamic sermons online. she was bundled away. and in 2017, four passers—by and pc keith palmer were all killed outside parliament in what the police called an act of islamist—related terror. the mp who was here that day and tried to save pc palmer's life has said that meeting constituents is vital but they should be paused. the home secretary has announced a review of mps' security and he said that should be completed first. i would recommend that no mp has a direct surgery until...

you know, you can move to zoom. there's other ways... you can actually achieve an awful lot over the telephone, you can get things moving far faster than having to wait for the surgery date, as well. but for david amess, meeting constituents was a vital part of his job. so the question now is — how much further should security be tightened 7 many believe things have to be reappraised but mps themselves must decide. it's not a question of carrying on with business as usual and just regarding this as an occupational hazard of being an mp. nor of having close security such as the home secretary has, or the prime minister or the foreign secretary needs to have. we need to have a discussion about how we strike the balance. but it will be are hard to find.

two years ago in the royal albert hall, a fundraiser for people with learning disabilities, championed by sir david amess, a public role loved, but guaranteeing mps' security is a huge challenge. damian grammaticas, bbc news. with me is our political correspondent damian grammaticas. there is a muslim community in southend — what have we heard there? we have his name now. we knew that he was 25. british but of somali heritage and we know police have been searching locations in london and we understand he has been referred to the prevent scheme, the scheme to help prevent people being drawn into virtualisation but we don't know much about the details of that. we know he was not viewed as a person of interest. he is in

custody?— person of interest. he is in custod ? , . ,, , , custody? yes, and essex. he is being held in essex — custody? yes, and essex. he is being held in essex and _ custody? yes, and essex. he is being held in essex and what _ custody? yes, and essex. he is being held in essex and what is _ held in essex and what is interesting is we have had reaction from the muslim community in southend and bev issued a joint statement and it is quite strong and powerful, actually. let mejust statement and it is quite strong and powerful, actually. let me just read a little bit. they basically said his murder was an indefensible atrocity committed on the grounds of atrocity committed on the grounds of a place of worship and we condemn it in the strongest possible terms. it was committed in the name of blind hatred and we look forward to the perpetrator being brought to justice and the joint secretary of the has described the mp as a tremendous force for good under pillar for support. force for good under pillar for su ort. �* ~' ., force for good under pillar for su ort. �* ~ ., ., , support. and i know he had been talkin: to support. and i know he had been talking to politicians _ support. and i know he had been talking to politicians as _ support. and i know he had been talking to politicians as well. - support. and i know he had been| talking to politicians as well. how did they go forward from here in terms of being able to meet their constituents while feeling secure?

no answer here but they are being asked to be careful and step back. they have already had many security measures put in place in recent years but also felt very, very vulnerable and this has revised those feelings of vulnerability. what many are waiting to see is the result of this investigation as they work out exactly what happened here so exactly what the thread here was and that will inform the security measures going forward but clearly we have the home secretary say she wants a review, police forces contacting mps now and we have parliament calls for mps to set and in a special conference, quite an unusual thing, to look at these measures but many of them saying this is difficult because they need to be out there meeting people and they are public figures. they enjoy that and that is how they interact with the public but they also feel very threatened and are looking for ways to improve their security. russia has reported a record number of daily covid deaths.

more than a thousand people have died in a single day for the first time since the start of the pandemic. infections continue to soar as the authorities struggle to persuade people to get vaccinated. steve rosenberg reports from moscow: russia continues to set new records on coronavirus. for the first time since the pandemic began the authorities have reported more than 1000 deaths linked to covid in the last 24—hour race. confirmed new cases also hit a record high for the same period with more than 33,200. translation: i think the lockdown that we had last year will happen again. back then, there are even fewer infections. it is frightening. translation: the number of sick people is scarier in the new lockdown. there seems there are a lot of young people, people like us, who are seriously ill. it is scary.

russia has developed several covid vaccines but the public has been reluctant to get the jabs. vaccine scepticism is widespread hair. so by the kremlin has avoided imposing tough new restrictions but some russian regions are reproducing a system of qr codes for access to public places. system of qr codes for access to public places. steve rosenberg reporting. new zealand has held a national day of action to encourage all remaining unvaccinated citizens to get a coronavirus shot. the "vaxathon" was streamed live on television for 8 hours — while pop—up clinics opened up across the country, including in the cabin of a dreamliner plane. by late afternoon, more than 120,000 people had received an innoculation. before today, just over half of the population were fully vaccinated. to afghanistan now — where the us government has said it has offered payments to relatives of the ten civilians mistakenly killed by a drone strike in kabul just before the final withdrawal of american troops from afghanistan. the pentagon also said it was

working with the state department to help surviving members of the family move to the united states. bbc afghan�*s inaya—tulhaq yasini gave me more details. this deal has been done through a charity so the family aldo was working but there are no further details and we can say that when this incident happened and people were saying that it was a mistake of target now it has been agreed and also the relocation has been agreed. i think in my opinion this relocation should be prioritised because this case has been publicised and there is a fear of criminality. no amount can pay the

loss of theirfamily criminality. no amount can pay the loss of their family but it is somehow a good thing for the government of america is agreed. uses the security of the family has to be prioritised, tell us about the security situation in cabo now? generally in afghanistan after the 15th of august there we have had some big explosions in the north and in the south, like yesterday there was in kandahar the biggest explosion. we have witnessed a big explosion. we have witnessed a big explosion in cabo in the last two months. generally the situation is calm but fear is that people fear that things might be happening, as we have seen. at least 41 people were killed yesterday. at least 41 people were killed yesterday. myanmar�*s military chief will be excluded from an upcoming

summit of the association of southeast asian nations — known as asean. the exclusion is a rare rebuke of a member country by the group. asean says it is concerned about the military government's commitment to defusing the crisis which has engulfed the country since the military took power in a coup in february. we arejoined by ko ko aung of the bbc world service. what has been their reaction ? it isa it is a huge blow to the military because they are desperately seeking for international recognition and legitimacy so the coming meeting is the biggest in the region and it is quite disappointing for them and they have responded very angrily. the ministry of foreign affairs for myanmar released a statement saying that they are disappointed and the question of representation should be asked because it is not in the

are not very clear at this stage. just beat the committee whenever the people are still on the streets in myanmar? whether the resistance continues? , , , continues? yes, indeed, it is very surprising — continues? yes, indeed, it is very surprising that — continues? yes, indeed, it is very surprising that after _ continues? yes, indeed, it is very surprising that after more - continues? yes, indeed, it is very surprising that after more than i continues? yes, indeed, it is very| surprising that after more than six months, almost daily you are seeing a lesser level, fewer people but continuing protests and also they are fighting in many places. the military is actually announced and actually sent out a huge number of troops and there is fighting going on and also in the northern states there is huge fighting of the military using artillery to fight the rebels in that area so the resistance is still going on. thank ou ve resistance is still going on. thank you very much — resistance is still going on. thank you very much for _ resistance is still going on. thank you very much forjoining - resistance is still going on. thank you very much forjoining us. - the british—iranian aid—worker, nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe has lost an appeal against her second jail sentence in iran. foreign secretary liz truss has described the decision as an "appalling continuation

what they made of and where do come from? by going to visit a large number, eight asteroids in total, over the mission lifetime, we'll 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. the colombian government has begun sterilising a growing population of hippos left as an unwanted legacy after the death of the notorious drug lord, pablo escobar nearly thirty years ago. local environmentalists say they�*re an invasive species and have pushed away the native fauna. with more, here�*s david campanale.

they have been dubbed the cocaine hippos. brought from the proceeds of drugs, it�*s a drug of another kind that colombian authorities are using to put a halt to the growing number. at the height of his powers, notorious drug lord pablo escobar illegally imported a number of exotic animals, including a male and female hippo. and nature then did what nature does. with no natural predators, more than 80 hippos have come to roam near his former luxury country estate to the north—west of the country. 2a animals have had to be treated with a chemical that will make them infertile. translation: if the sterilisation can be a way to prevent further breeding, at least we mitigate the problem. it is not the solution but it does go a long way to reducing the number of hippos in the world.

escobar�*s luxury estate became a theme park and all the other animals, including zebras and giraffes, were sold to zoos, but not the hippos. colombian environmentalists say they have become the biggest hurt outside africa. but as an invasive species, they pushed away the native fauna, and something to deal with escobar�*s and wanted legacy had to be done. david campanale, bbc news. a warrant of further detention has been granted for the 25—year—old man who was arrested in connection with the murder of uk lawmaker david amess. whitehall sources have confirmed for the bbc his name is ali harbi ali of somali heritage. earlier, the prime minister, borisjohnson, and the leader of the opposition, sir keir starmer, laid flowers together at the site of the fatal stabbing, which happened during a constituency
