the man arrested by police following the killing of the essex mp sir david amess has been named as ali harbi ali. the 25—year—old is british, of somali heritage. it's understood that he was referred to the government's prevent programme a few years ago — the scheme intended to stop people being drawn into terrorism. sir david was stabbed multiple times during a constituency surgery in a church hall in leigh—on—sea. the prime minister, borisjohnson, and the leader of the opposition, sir keir starmer, today laid flowers together at the scene. our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford reports from leigh—on—sea. 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. tonight hundreds of people gathered to remember the mp many of them knew personally. he to remember the mp many of them knew ersonall . ., , ., to remember the mp many of them knew ersonall . ., , , personally. he was a very, very decent human _ personally. he was a very, very decent human being. _ personally. he was a very, very decent human being. an - personally. he was a very, very decent human being. an mp i personally. he was a very, very. decent human being. an mp that personally. he was a very, very - decent human being. an mp that not everyone agreed with but to everyone

respected and loved. police forces across the uk are contacting all mps to discuss their personal safety. meeting constituents is seen as central to their role as representatives. but the death of sir david amess has re—opened a debate about the risks they face. 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. 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 2a—hours. 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 were 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.

delayed at ports. when you have a shortage of labour in terms of hgv drivers, those domestic drivers, it means that the goods are sitting around slightly longer at the ports waiting to be collected. there are labour shortages in other sectors too, including construction, hospitality and food production. now the boss of morrisons has said that while there are plenty of products on the shelves, underlying strain in the supply chain is affecting availability, while a lack of materials such as cement and bricks is delaying investment in new shops and refurbishments. he called for more visas forforeign workers. the government has already offered temporary visas for some meat workers. there are 5000 visas available for drivers too. other european countries also have shortages, but this driver in romania told the bbc rising wages in the uk were attractive. translation: a really good friend | of mine left for the uk last week. | he went for three months.

everyone who went there tells me the wages are really good. i'm tempted too. but only 20 of those visas have so far been approved. in the latest effort to ease the pressure, particularly before christmas, ministers now plan to let overseas drivers do more deliveries when they're on uk soil. i don't think the change yesterday will make much difference. so what do you think would make a difference, then? we need to encourage young drivers into the industry. we need to make facilities better for drivers. the general public need to treat drivers better. the government says immigration isn't the long—term answer to filling britain's record number of vacancies. it wants to develop a high—skilled, high—wage economy. some businesses say they still need a better short—term fix. katy austin, bbc news. today marks world food day, when the united nations aims to draw attention to the millions of people around the world who still go hungry.

despite ambitious goals set by the un to end world hunger by 2030, the number of people suffering food insecurity continues to rise. imogen foulkes reports. conflict, climate change and now covid 19. conflict, climate change and now covid19. they are creating a perfect storm of hunger. the united nations set ambitious targets to end world hunger by 2030. instead, the number of people without enough to eat is increasing. 800 million people go to bed hungry every night. conflicts disrupt farming and food supplies. so to do extreme weather events triggered by climate change. yemen has had floods as well as war this year. afghanistan has had drought. it this year. afghanistan has had drou~ht. , ., , ., drought. it is a risk multiplier for conflict. this _ drought. it is a risk multiplier for conflict. this happens _ drought. it is a risk multiplier for conflict. this happens in - drought. it is a risk multiplier for conflict. this happens in two - drought. it is a risk multiplier for. conflict. this happens in two ways. on one _ conflict. this happens in two ways. on one hand — conflict. this happens in two ways.

nasa has successfully launched its first mission to study jupiter's trojan asteroids — two vast clusters of space rocks that surround the planet. duncan kennedy reports. three, two, one, zero. the start of a 4 billion milejourney. lift off, atlas v takes flight. the atlas v rocket is carrying a craft called lucy, that aims to go into orbit around jupiter and study a group of asteroids called trojans, some of which are the size of a city. so what are the trojan asteroids? they're asteroids that orbit withjupiter around the sun that ultimately hold the clues 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, 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 wild. 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 herd 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. we can now speak to planetary scientist emily lakdawalla. she joins me live from pasadena in california. thank you so much. as a planetary scientist what are you hoping would come out of this? this scientist what are you hoping would come out of this?— come out of this? this is a very excitin: come out of this? this is a very exciting mission _ come out of this? this is a very exciting mission because - come out of this? this is a very exciting mission because it - come out of this? this is a very exciting mission because it is i exciting mission because it is travelling to some unusual words that we have never visited before. these are the trojan asteroids of jupiter and the orbit in the same bet thatjupiter does 60 degrees ahead and behind and they are probably captured worlds that originated in the distant reaches of

about our own and they are all worth funky new potato —shaped bodies you've never seen before. bias you've never seen before. alas thou~ht you've never seen before. alas thought for— you've never seen before. alas thought for 30 _ you've never seen before. alas thought for 30 seconds - you've never seen before. alas thought for 30 seconds or so. why are we so interested in asteroids now and less interested in planets? you know, i don't agree with that statement and i think we are interested in all of them. the asteroids tell us about the origins of the solar system and materials we came from and the planets tell us about how those things are evolved over time. about how those things are evolved overtime. every about how those things are evolved over time. every planet teaches every planet now it's time for a look at the weather with chris fawkes. thank you so much for bringing your enthusiasm to tell some of us did get decent sunshine on saturday but the best of it in the far north of scotland as well. later in the day we did see some rain start to come down in the dunblane area and that is the first signs of this band of rain showing up on the radar picture with the rain pretty expensive and heavy across scotland and northern england getting into north wales as well and even further southwards over the next few hours will probably pick up a few patches of rain across the south of wales and south—west england as well leaving

many areas slightly dry and dry weather for the far north of scotland over the next few hours. 11 of 13 degrees where the foot of a legacy of cool there are still clinging on across the far north of scotland where should be a bright start but otherwise extensive cloud to on sunday. the rain initially heavyin to on sunday. the rain initially heavy in scotland but tony heavy and patchy as in the morning. across northern ireland scotland and northern england these areas will be showing spots of rain. we should start to see some gaps in the cloud opening in the south with a few sunny spells. from monday we're going to start to get some stronger south—westerly winds moving in so monday will be a windier kind of day particularly across western areas of the areas of cloud and outbreaks of rain spilling in. not much in the way of rain across eastern areas but if you do see sunshine it is likely be hazy with a lot of high cloud in

the sky so bright rather than sunny. those temperatures are mild. 15—18 pretty widely and it gets even milder still on tuesday. the winter coming from a long way south and we've got the slow—moving weather front being some intense bursts of rain to some of the hilly areas of the west perhaps across wales or cumbria. some of these areas could see localised surface water flooding issues and eastern areas are not seen much in the way of aim but we could see some sunny spells breaking through and if that happens across the south—east we may see temperatures climb to 20 or even 21. very, very mild indeed and that mild weather stays with us at the first—half of the week before temperatures gradually get close to normal towards the end of the week.

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the political commentatorjo phillips and political editor of the sunday mirror and the sunday people, nigel nelson. let me bring you up—to—date at home with the latest front pages. let's start with the sunday mirror.

times, this is about a telephone call. ,
