in a riot a week ago. mission control: tower clear. and uncovering the origins of the solar system — the nasa mission aiming to learn more about the creation of the planets. hello and welcome to bbc news. very good to have you with us. here in the uk, the man arrested by police following the killing of the member of parliament sir david amess has been named as ali harbi ali. the 25—year—old is british, of somali heritage. it's understood he was previously referred to the government's prevent programme, that's the scheme intended to identify those at risk of radicalisation and stop them from being drawn into terrorism. sir david was stabbed multiple

times when he was holding a regular meeting with his constituents on friday in a church hall in leigh—on—sea, in essex in the south east of england. the prime minister, borisjohnson, and the leader of the opposition, sir keir starmer, 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. early enquiries suggesting the motive was islamist extremism. the man in custody, ali harbi ali, is understood to have been referred

to the government's prevent scheme a few years ago. the scheme�*s designed to stop people being drawn in to terrorism. he was never a formal subject of interest for the security service mi5. through friends, eyewitnesses have suggested the attacker waited in the queue at sir david's constituency surgery yesterday, before stabbing the mp several times with a knife in front of his assistant and then waiting for police to arrive. sir david was known and loved for his hands—on approach with voters, and those who've 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 for him many years ago. and 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. i mean, the community hasjust been hit sideways by this. it's notjust a member of parliament, notjust the local member of parliament, but, you know, he really did touch people's lives in a way that most mps don't manage to do. tonight at the local sports field, hundreds of people gathered to remember the mp so many of them knew personally. and he was a very, very decent human being. an mp that not everyone agreed with, but who everyone respected and loved. daniel sandford, bbc news, leigh—on—sea. well, police forces across the uk have been contacting 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 reopened a debate about the risks they face. 0ur 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 today there are changes. in south wales, a police guard for an mp�*s coffee morning. and he already felt honourable. 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 round 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 as she left a meeting in her local library by a white supremacist. in 2010, stephen timms mp survived an attack by a women who'd 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 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 says 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 sir david amess, meeting 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'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. it's a balance that will be hard to find. two years ago in the royal albert hall, a concert for people with learning disabilities. sir david amess championed this cause. he loved his public role. mps are public figures — accessible and therefore vulnerable. damian grammaticas, bbc news. in other 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 here have reported more than 1,000 deaths linked to covid in the last 2a hours. confirmed new cases

also hit a record high for the same period, more than 33,200. translation: | think - the lockdown that we had last year will happen again. back then there were even fewer infections. it's frightening. translation: the number of sick people is scarier - than a new lockdown. it seems like there's a lot of young people among them, people like us, who are on lung ventilators and seriously ill. it's scary. russia has developed several covid vaccines but the public has been reluctant to get the jabs. vaccine scepticism is widespread here. so far, the kremlin has avoided imposing tough new restrictions but some russian regions are reintroducing a system of qr codes for access to public places. steve rosenberg, bbc news, moscow. let's get some of the day's other news.

president macron has become the first french head of state to attend events marking the killing of dozens of algerian demonstrators by police in paris 60 years ago. he joined a commemoration at a bridge over the river seine, the starting point in 1961 for a march against a night curfew which was imposed only on algerians. french leaders have been honouring the teacher samuel paty, a year to the day after a radical islamist beheaded him for showing his class cartoons of the muslim prophet mohammed. the chechen teenager who killed him was reacting to a social media campaign whipped up by some parents. mr paty�*s violent death stunned france's educators, who saw it as an attack on the country's core values. a spokesman for former us president bill clinton says he expects the 75—year—old to be discharged on sunday. but they say mr clinton — who was admitted to hospital with an infection on thursday —

will reportedly stay another night in hospital in california. tens of thousands of italians have demonstrated in rome to call for a ban on the neo—fascist forza nuova party over its involvement in a riot last saturday. protesters carried placards saying "fascism, never again," in reference to the dictator benito mussolini, who ruled italy before and during the second world war. lucy grey reports. balloons and trade union flags filled rome's piazza san giovanni as tens of thousands of italians called for a ban on the neofascist forza nuova party. "yes to vaccination", and "peace", said the placards — a direct response to this one week earlier. right—wing forza nuova supporters angry at the government's coronavirus measures, clashing with police at the headquarters of italy's largest trade union, which was attacked. 12 people, including the leaders of forza nuova, were arrested. they had been protesting against the so—called green pass, which makes everyone prove on arrival at work that they are fully vaccinated, have recovered from the virus, or have a recent negative test. for those without one, you can be fined or suspended without pay. now unions have come together to call on the government to dissolve neofascist or neo—nazi groups.

translation: a union that defends our rights j was attacked. this is an attack on democracy. translation: we came | from belgium to show our solidarity, this is an international problem. the normalisation of far right powers — we have to fight it. italy has had 4.7 million cases of coronavirus, with more than 130,000 deaths. it is estimated around 3 million workers still have not been vaccinated. lucy grey, bbc news. the british—iranian aid worker, nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe, has lost an appeal against her second jail sentence in iran. mrs zaghari—ratcliffe was given a one—year sentence

when her first five—year sentence ended in march. the british foreign secretary liz truss has described the latest decision as "an appalling continuation of a cruel ordeal". earlier i was speaking to jason rezaian. he was the washington post's tehran correspondent for four years and spent more than 500 days unjustly imprisoned by iranian authorities until his release in january 2016. he now hosts a podcast about that experience and gave me his reaction. as the foreign secretary said, i am equally as appalled and disgusted, but i also believe that we should have expected this development. nazanin has been subjected to an abuse of power by the iranian regime, going on six years now, and essentially she has been

held hostage until which time the iranian regime received what it believes it can get from the british government. and i expect her detention will be extended in this way until they get what they want. for the last year, she has been held under house arrest in tehran in her parent's home. she has been going through the cycle of waiting for an appeal, being rejected, et cetera. what will she be going through right now? well, it's a constant roller—coaste rride. you are being told from the very first days of your imprisonment that you will be let out soon or that you will spend the rest of your life there, or that you will face execution. it's psychological torment and torture throughout. and in her situation, the release into house arrest, first with the ankle tag she has had to wearfor over

a year now, being tracked wherever she goes, it's not a way to live, and it really is unfair what they have done to her and continue to do to her. iran says there are some simple things that could help secure her release. it cites, for example, the british government reimbursing iranian authorities for tanks that they bought several years ago that were never delivered. is the british government doing enough to secure her release, do you think? well, to paraphrase what my brother said throughout my sim—day ordeal in iran, he appreciated what the us government was doing, but apparently it wasn't enough because i was still sitting in prison there. so i don't think the british government is doing enough. i can't even, i think we are on the fifth foreign secretary since nazanin�*s original arrest. i have spoken to some of those people. i have had good conversations withjeremy hunt over the last several years about this. i think that there is a growing understanding that the us and uk governments need to take

a harder line on state hostage—taking, but they haven't done it so far, and they haven't figured out the ways to bring these britons home. nazanin is one. anousheh, ansari, morad tahbaz who happens to be a uk—us trinational. these are all british nationals who are languishing in iranian custody and i don't see that the foreign office is doing enough to bring her home. you are watching bbc news. the headlines: a man suspected of killing a uk member of parliament has been named as ali harbi ali. the british national had previously attended an anti—radicalisation programme. russia has recorded more than 1,000 deaths from coronavirus in a single day for the first time since the start of the pandemic. nasa has successfully launched its first mission to studyjupiter�*s trojan

asteroids, two vast clusters of space rocks that surround the planet. scientists believe they are made up of matter that formed the solar system's outer planets. duncan kennedy explains. 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 is expected to be operating around asteroids for the next 12 years. duncan kennedy, bbc news. an unusual development in the world of turtles now, because a tiny terrapin with two heads has been born at a wildlife rescue centre in boston. earlier i spoke to the man looking after it, dr greg mertz from the new england wildlife centre.

this is a diamondback terrapin, which is a brackish water turtle. so it's a mix of saltwater and freshwater. and it didn't hatch with us, it actually hatched out in one of the nests. this particular turtle — this species is of turtle is threatened in the state of massachusetts. so we have lots of people, lots of townspeople and non—profit organisations, who look after individual nests. and one of those nests — this particular one came in from the town of barnstables, the nature group. and they brought it to us because they were concerned. we're a veterinary hospital and they were concerned what to do — whether we should destroy it,

whether we should try to raise it. it was just an anomaly. they look pretty big on the screen behind me, pretty imposing, but how big are they in real life? they're probably the size of a silver dollar. let me think about this. yeah, good question. if you were to make — do the ok sign with your hands, probably slightly smaller than the palm of your hand. so what are their chances of survival, then? typically the survival rate is not good. the thing that's caught our attention, and everybody�*s attention, is the fact that these guys are — i guess it's he, she, they, we're not sure, they are actually thriving.

they're getting bigger. they have grown seven or eight grams since the time we have had them, and they breathe in synchrony with one another. they try to swim, they swim together. they seem to be coping and surviving well. 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 30 years ago. local environmentalists say they're an invasive species and have pushed away the native fauna. with more, here is david campanale. they have been dubbed the cocaine hippos. bought from the proceeds of drugs, it is a drug of another kind that colombian authorities are using to put a halt to their growing number. at the height of his powers, notorious drug lord pablo escobar illegally imported a number of exotic animals, including a male and a 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 in 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 i an alternative to prevent further breeding, at least we mitigate the problem. while it's not the solution, it does go a long way towards 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 pablo escobar�*s unwanted legacy had to be done. it has been reported that the queen has been advised by doctors that she should give up her evening drink of choice, a martini, so that she is in tip—top condition ahead of a busy autumn of engagements. by doing so, her majestyjoins a growing number of people around the world chosing to ditch the booze in favour of non—alcoholic drinks. it has led to a massive boom in cocktails, wines and beers with little or no alcohol in them. the global market for booze—free drinks is around $1 trillion, with sales globally expected to rise by 31% by 2024. with so many non—alcoholic alternatives, which are fit for a queen? the man with all the answers is derek brown, dc, author of mindful mixology: a guide to no— and low—alcohol cocktails. he told me all about the rise of non—alcoholic booze. there's so many.

there'sjust, as you mentioned, an explosion of non—alcoholic drinks. even though it's unfortunate she can't drink anymore, it's a good time not to be drinking. there's lots of wines or wine alternatives. there's lots of spirits out there that they have that are wonderful, and really do carry some of the flavours and characteristics of the spirit. and you can even make a non—alcoholic dry martini. so i'm happy to share the recipe right now. so, if her majesty is watching, what does she need to do? well, she needs to go and buy some non—alcoholic gin. and yes, i know it's not actually gin. but it does, like i said, carry some of the flavours, some of the aromatics, and definitelyjuniper. so we're going to put a little bit of that in there, and i also have non—alcoholic dry vermouth. so i like my martini with a lot of dry vermouth. i know that sometimes people like to just wave it by the mixing glass, but for me that's kind of an essential part of it, so i'm going to make sure to include that.

we're going equal parts of the gin, or non—alcoholic gin, and non—alcoholic vermouth. but the thing is, alcohol does have a special sort of texture to it, and that's hard to achieve without other ingredients, so i'm going to add a couple of things that are a little bit different. first, i'm going to take some olive brine, actually, so almost like a dirty martini. i'm going to include that in there because that olive brine, that salt, really adds to it. a little bit of apple cider vinegar. i know this is just kind of a household thing, but vinegar itself is a byproduct of alcohol, so it has some of those funky esters that you get when you have alcohol as well. and, of course, i'm going to use some bitters as well. they make lots of non—alcoholic bitters now, which is nice. the original martini had bitters in it. i know people don't often include them now, but it's really important you do it with a non—alcoholic gin martini. then we're going to stir it,

and you might not want to stir it as much because that texture — you want to make sure that you get it closer to the alcohol texture, so you're going to do probably half as many stirs, which i guess saves me a little bit of time. and then we're going to pour it into... and david, as you're doing that, the queen is a lady in her more senior years. but are young people getting into non—alcoholic drinks as well? it is amazing that so many people are getting involved. i've got a special flag here — lemon and olive. so many people are getting involved, young people and older people, and i think there's lots of good reasons reasons for it. and that can involve health reasons or piety, orjust because you're running a marathon the next day. there's so many reasons not to drink alcohol sometimes, and it's good to have the choice. time to have the choice. for a definitely not

alcoholic time for a definitely not alcoholic cup of tea for me now. thank you very much for watching. we will see you soon. goodbye. hello there. we've got some cloudy and damp weather around for the first part of sunday. quite a contrast, then, because some of us did get some decent sunshine through saturday, the best of it across southern england, the midlands, wales and east anglia and the far north of scotland as well. but late in the day we did see some rain start to come down around the dunblane area. that really is the first signs of this band of rain that's showing up on the radar picture, with the rain pretty extensive and heavy across scotland and northern england, getting into north wales as well. and even further southwards, over the next few hours a few patches of rain across the south of wales and south—west england as well, leaving across the midlands,

east anglia, south—east england largely dry. a fair bit of dry weather north of scotland for the next few hours. a mild start to the day on sunday. 11 to 30 degrees widely, a legacy of cool and clinging on across the parts of northern scotland, where it should be a bright start. but otherwise, extensive cloud to start the day on sunday, the rain initially heavy in scotland, but turning lighter and and patchier quickly to the morning. but i think across northern ireland, scotland and northern england, these areas will be prone to spots of rain even into the afternoon, so for some it will stay on the damp side. but at the same time, we should start to see some gaps in the cloud opening out in the south, with a few sunny spells in southern england, southern wales and the south midlands. for 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, with layers of crowd and outbreaks of rain spilling in. not so much in the way of rain across eastern areas, but if you do see some sunshine, it's likely to be very hazy. there's going to be a lot of high cloud in the sky, so bright rather than sunny in those drier moments.

temperatures mild — 15—18 degrees pretty widely, and it gets even milder still on tuesday. the winds coming from a long way south, but then we've got this slow—moving weather front bringing some intense bursts of rain to some of the hillier areas of the west, perhaps across wales, perhaps across cumbria. some of these areas could see localised surface water flooding issues. but again, eastern areas not seeing much in the way of rain, really. we could see some sunny spells breaking through. if that happens across the south—east we may well see temperatures climb to 20 or even 21 degrees celsius. very, very mild indeed. that mild weather stays with us for the first half of the week before temperatures gradually get close to normal towards the end of the week.

this is bbc news. the headlines: the bbc has learned that a man detained on suspicion of killing the british mp, david amess, had previously attended a government scheme to prevent radicalisation. the suspect — named as ali harbi ali — is thought not to have been put on a watchlist of subjects, of interest to the security services. russia has recorded more than 1,000 deaths from coronavirus in a single day for the first time since the start of the pandemic. the infection rate has also continued to soar as the authorities struggle to persuade people to get vaccinated. and tens of thousands of italians have marched through the centre of rome calling for a ban on the neo—fascist forza nuova party. its leaders were among those arrested after the headquarters of the nation's oldest trade union was stormed in a riot, a week ago. now on bbc news, it's time for the media show.
