this is bbc news. i'm shaun ley. the headlines at 8pm... "our hearts are shattered" — the family of mp sir david amess call on people to set aside hatred, show kindness and love, and work towards togetherness. the home secretary, priti patel, says she is looking at a "whole spectrum" of measures to better protect mps, including on social media. i think it's fair to say we all have to be incredibly self—aware, conscientious, as to how we conduct our business and put safety front and centre of this. the ceremony for new environmental award the earthshot prize is under way, hosted by the duke of cambridge. and after almost two weeks, the bbc understands that brighton and hove city council have reached a deal with the unions to end the bin strike in the city.

and we hear more about artist spencer tunick�*s latest photo shoot, which involves hundreds of people getting their clothes off at the dead sea in israel. good evening, and welcome to bbc news. the family of the conservative mp, sir david amess have said their "hearts are shattered" by his death, adding in a statement that they were "trying to understand why this awful thing has occurred". the home secretary, priti patel, is considering a range of measures to protect mps at constituency surgeries, in the wake of sir david's death, killed in a knife attack on friday. a security review is looking at whether there should be routine police protection,

as well as pre—booked surgery appointments. the man arrested following the killing, has been named as ali harbi ali. the 25—year—old is being held under the terrorism act, and officers have until friday to question him. our home affairs correspondent, daniel sandford, has the very latest on the investigation. a significant search operation at a large family house in london as the counterterrorism investigation into the murder of sir david amess mp turned towards the capital today. this is one of three addresses that detectives have visited to gather evidence. yesterday, there was a police guard at this house on a leafy street in north london. today, the search operation intensified. police have also searched a smaller house in croydon where the suspect grew up. the man in custody is ali harbi ali, 25 years old, and a british national of somali heritage. he went to school in

croydon in south london. a few years ago he was referred to the prevent scheme. the scheme designed to stop people getting involved in terrorism. he was not an mi5 subjective interest. in leigh on sea, the murdered mp was being remembered at a series of church services. our community has been rocked by the death of david amess. —— our community has been rocked by the death of sir david amess. at one service was the pr expert talking to him on video call moments before he was attacked. i happened to be on zoom with him. the meeting ran over to 12:02, and minutes later this heinous attack happened. as the town mourned its long—serving member of parliament, we learned more details about sir david's parliamentary assistant witnessed the attack.

all of a sudden there was a scream from her, because the person deliberately whipped out a knife and started stabbing david. and of course, the other lady who was out getting names of people and organising them outside came running into find the situation she did of poor david who had been stabbed. the home secretary priti patel has known sir david for over 30 years. she is encouraging individual mps to discuss the risks they face with the police to work out what protection they need. there are a range of measures in place. this is notjust about saying, "let's go for option a, have bodyguards and security." there is a panoply of measures and we have to be proportionate in terms of the risk individuals are subject to. it looks like the killing of sir david, allegedly murdered by a man who had apparently booked an appointment to see him, could change forever how british politics works. daniel sandford, bbc news.

in the last half hour, the family of sir david amess have released a statement, thanking everyone for the wonderful tributes. it says... it goes on to say...

our correspondent duncan kennedy is in leigh—on—sea. duncan, ina duncan, in a sense, the tribute captures the impact that the public has had on the family. the small grain of comfort in an awful 48 hours for them. how would you character is the mood you've encountered in leigh—on—sea? it certainly has captured exactly how the family are feeling, and i think the family are feeling, and i think the only way to that statement tonight is absolutely heartbreaking. they themselves used the word that they are broken by what has happened, and as you said there are the urged people to show love and kindness, and they say that no matter what your race, religion or political beliefs, people should be

tolerant and understanding towards each other. so those really heartfelt words pouring out from the family tonight, released through the metropolitan police. it comes as the police cordon here in essex has been lifted — so we are now standing right outside the church where sir david amess lost his life on friday, this is the closest we've been since that friday on —— that incident on friday lunch time. not only that, but all the church members affiliated with this church have spent much of the afternoon moving the flowers and cards you can see behind me to the spot outside the church where people have been coming all day long, dozens and dozens of people to lay their flowers and cards. tonight they've been moved here to the of this church — you literally can't see the garden that was once here, so many flowers and cards have been delivered. . the two thins cards have been delivered. . the two thin . s at cards have been delivered. . the two things at the — cards have been delivered. . the two things at the family _ cards have been delivered. . the two things at the family say _ cards have been delivered. . the two things at the family say they - cards have been delivered. . the two

things at the family say they would i things at the family say they would like as memorials, if you like, to david's work is the completion of projects. he backed. one, the idea of a permanent memorial to dame verlin, and the other city status for the constituency for southend —— dame vera lynn. , two causes he championed, but dame vera. more recently with the campaign her death. . �* , recently with the campaign her death. ., �* , ., ., death. that's right, he had an incredible _ death. that's right, he had an incredible democrat, - death. that's right, he had an. incredible democrat, incredibly death. that's right, he had an - incredible democrat, incredibly wide and diverse portfolio of interests, not only those but something of a house of commons running joke that's her david would always take the opportunity to ask for city status for this town. he was deadly serious about it, he really wanted to raise the profile of his own constituency. i myself spoke to him on the phone just a few weeks ago about another

cause he was lending his name to, women seeking a government apology for the forced adoptions. he was only too willing to get involved, he saw the sense of injustice that the birth mothers themselves were feeling, and he delivered a letter to borisjohnson on their behalf. i spoke to him about this, and i had never met the man before, butjust in the space of a few seconds on our phone conversation, he was making jokes. he was so charming and joyous about getting involved in these kinds of projects — projects that he treated with real seriousness, he wasn't any kind of frivolous mp or any kind of person who treated these things lightly. he knew where people's interest lied, he knew what campaigns and projects people really became interested in, and he was only too willing to lend his backing to them. as a result of friday, those projects need the support of

others, his family wish those projects be taken on by others in his constituency. but those projects they hope will live on. you mentioned _ they hope will live on. you mentioned something - they hope will live on. you mentioned something there that, in a sense, perhaps captures something of a theme that runs through the family statement, as well, from your own experience in talking to sir david, there was something that we know he had a very traditionally socially conservative things on things like the family and how you would prefer people to live their lives, but that didn't make him intolerant of those who chose a different path, whether as a path forced on them or when they chose voluntarily. so although he was a happily married with five children, practised his catholic faith very visibly, he wasn't intolerant of others — that seems to be something that the family would be something that the family would be like just like to be learned from

his example by those who followed him. . �* , his example by those who followed him. ., �*, , his example by those who followed him. my y him. that's exactly right, very exlicit him. that's exactly right, very explicit about _ him. that's exactly right, very explicit about that. _ him. that's exactly right, very explicit about that. although i him. that's exactly right, very l explicit about that. although we don't know the motivation of what went on behind the killing of sir david amess, they clearly believe that there is a lack of understanding and tolerance, they make that explicitly clear in their statement, they say, "please show love and kindness at this moment." these words are set from the heart, they clearly thought about it a lot before releasing it tonight. sir david himself was a devout catholic, there's been another church service nearby just opposite there's been another church service nearbyjust opposite his own constituency, a place called sir —— st. michael's church, and friends and colleagues have gathered there tonight. it's been quite emotional, some people are. it tears during the service. he was clearly a man who devoted himself to the constituents, and the constituents to him. you described tonight by some of those speaking in that church service as a

man of compassion and faith that he was described, and a man of honour. duncan kennedy in leigh—on—sea, thank you very much. the speaker of the house of commons, who helps oversee security around mps, says lessons must be learned, after what he called the "hideous killing" of sir david amess. mps are warning of increasing hostility towards politicans. our political correspondent damian grammaticas has more. in leigh—on sea today, more tributes for sir david amess. many have come from his constituents, but some were from his neighbouring mps. the killing of one of their number has shaken many. this morning across the airwaves they had stories of how they too have faced threats. do you feel safe doing yourjob going around your constituency? no, not really, if i'm honest. mps are treated as if we weren't humans. | what we have seen is the encouragement of a climate often of hostility towards members of parliament. i have had people writing. in my office will, "andrea, why don't you kill yourself?"

the staff are pretty scared most of the time. i had a threat to abduct my children. another essex mp who came today was andrew rosindell, notjust a parliamentary mp but a friend of sir david's. —— parliamentary neighbour. there is now obviously a fear there is bad people out there who want to do harm. and david is a victim of that. so i'm afraid it will change things. some mps have had guards before now. the review of mps' safety may consider if this should be offered to all. order, order! the speaker of the commons, who has overseen the review, says mps have to be protected but with democracy and openness too. i i don't want to go into a knee jerkl reaction to say what we need to do. tragically, we have lost our friends, sir david amess. . our thoughts are with his family. i i want to say we must do the righti thing and we have to make the best come out of this hideous, - hideous killing of our colleague.

and what i would say is that we will look. at all different measures. and those measures may involve more than just protecting physical venues. some say a culture of abuse and threats online has to be tackled too. the mp chairing the committee looking at the new online harms bill says people shouldn't be able to hide their identities. if a social media company does allow someone to use a false name when they create an account, that company should hold enough if a social media company does allow someone to use a false name information about the individual so police can access it as part of an investigation and users should know even if they are not using their real name when they post, they can and will be identified if they create and cause harm to other people. so the repercussions of this killing may go far. but first, tomorrow, the nation's politicians will meet in parliament to remember sir david amess. damian grammaticas, bbc news. the government's latest

coronavirus figures show, there were 45,140 new infections recorded in the latest 24—hour period. another 57 deaths have been recorded, that's of people who died within 28 days of a positive test. on vaccinations, 85.9% of the population aged 12 and over, have had their first dose, and 78.9% have been double jabbed. a soldier who died during an army training exercise on salisbury plain has been named. private jethro watson—pickering, who was 23, of the 1st yorkshire regiment, was part of a crew operating an armoured vehicle near enford in wiltshire, on friday. the yorkshire regiment said on facebook that its thoughts and prayers were with private watson—pickering's family. the newcastle—tottenham game was paused earlier, after a supporter in the stand had a medical emergency. medics rushed to the aid of the fan in the stands of st james' park 41 minutes into the game, and players were taken off the field.

a defibrilator was carried onto the terraces as crowds remained in the stadium. newcastle lost the game 3—2. an update on a story we were talking about an hour ago when our reporter was telling us that there might be signs a deal being done over brighton's festering rubbish. it looks like he was absolutely right, and he's here now to tell us more about that. thanks very much for coming back. what more. have you known him since we last spoke an hour to go?— hour to go? there was a wisp of white smoke. _ hour to go? there was a wisp of white smoke. when _ hour to go? there was a wisp of white smoke. when we - hour to go? there was a wisp of white smoke. when we last - hour to go? there was a wisp of- white smoke. when we last spoke, but now it's positively billowing through the more pungent gas is flowing through the city at the moment. the council has now confirmed a deal has been done. we heard from union sources there might be a deal on the way, it's now confirmed and in writing, and it

will be put to union members tomorrow morning before counsellors vote on it on tuesday. good news for the residents of brighton and hove because if both of those groups agree with this deal, then thursday's month—long strike will be ended and it looks to be the end of industrial action for the time being. industrial action for the time beinu. ., ., ., , ., being. you mentioned that this had oriainall being. you mentioned that this had originally been _ being. you mentioned that this had originally been about _ being. you mentioned that this had originally been about the _ being. you mentioned that this had| originally been about the conditions of service and the pay appeared quite late on in the negotiations — is more pay part of the agreement, 7 . i understand it is, yes, and the devil will be in the detail as to how much pay and for whom. but i'm told that it's not only a boost for hgtv drivers who drive the lorries, but also a significant boost for lower paid staff across the city. now that was a necessity in some ways under equal pay legislation because the 54 drivers of the centre of this dispute are mostly men, and

i understand that giving them at a big i understand that giving them at a his pay i understand that giving them at a big pay boost without offering something similar to other members of council staff could rescan action under equal pay dashcode risk action. i've seen some internal documents that suggest the range we are looking at is anywhere from £1,000,000 to £14,000,000 at the other end. . �* , £1,000,000 to £14,000,000 at the other end. ., �* , ., ., other end. that's quite a range. the implications — other end. that's quite a range. the implications for _ other end. that's quite a range. the implications for council _ other end. that's quite a range. the implications for council tax - other end. that's quite a range. the implications for council tax will - implications for council tax will need to be thought about by residents in brighton, assuming counsellors agree to this deal. the question that is perhaps more pressing for people like you living in the city or who know the city is how quickly can this rubbish now be got off the streets and actually treated and recycled? presumably having the rubbish piled up is one thing, but it takes time to process it? ., , ., thing, but it takes time to process it? . , ., ., ._ it? indeed, and we started today in the city with _ it? indeed, and we started today in the city with those _ it? indeed, and we started today in the city with those private -

the city with those private contractors being sent in by the council. now the council told us that those were being sent to priority areas, so emptying been stores in blocks of flats that might cause a fire hazard if they overflow, to been piles on the side of the road or being set on fire or blocking pavement so that wheelchair users will be able to use them. those went out today, the union were not happy about it, they called it strike breaking, but it happened. the wider task, collecting 13 days worth of rubbish, isn't something that can be done overnight without significant extra injections of resources. that i think would be part of the deal that we start to see tomorrow.— part of the deal that we start to see tomorrow. ., ,, y ., y . keep an eye on the bbc website, ben will have more online to tell you about that deal which is just telling us about there, which means

the been strike is over, subject to the been strike is over, subject to the deal being signed. a bit sooner than it's been over in rome, and i suppose one consolation is that unlike the romans, brighton, people don't have wild boar snuffling around on the streets, those two things are unpleasant. a murder inquiry is under way in glasgow after a 14—year—old boy was stabbed in the city. justin mclaughlin was seriously injured at high street station yesterday afternoon, later dying in hospital. our scotland correspondent alexandra mckenzie has this update from the scene. there is still quite a lot of police activity here outside the station, and some floral tributes have been laid. we understand that a fight had broken out on the train that spilled out onto the platform here, and the 14—year—old was stabbed down on the platform. police scotland put out a statement this afternoon and they said this was "a shocking act of violence in broad daylight, which had seen

a boy tragically lose his life." they also said this happened on a saturday afternoon — it would have been very busy here in the middle of the city. they also said this happened on a saturday afternoon — it would have been very busy here in the middle of the city. now, they have asked anyone to come forward, anyone who saw anything suspicious at all. the 14—year—old, justin mclaughlin, he went to school in coatbridge, at st ambrose high school. the headmaster there has paid tribute to him, saying he was a valued member of the community and would be missed by pupils and staff. alexandra mackenzie there in glasgow. the duke of cambridge will call for society to "unite in repairing our planet", when he takes to the stage, for the presentation of his inaugural environmental award. here he is, arriving at the ceremony�*s green carpet with the duchess of cambridge. the earthshot prize will celebrate five winners, who've come up with the best solutions to tackle the world's environmental problems.

our media and arts correspondent david sillito has more. each year we will award five £1 million prizes to those who we believe can transform our chances of repairing our planet... inspired by president kennedy's moonshot challenge in the �*60s, earthshot is a challenge to find environmental solutions. ultimately, if we want to tackle this, if we want to get on the front foot, we have to bring people with us. people have to feel like there is hope, there's a chance we can fix this, and that's what the earthshot prize is about, providing solutions to some of the world's biggest environmental problems. among the supporters of prince william's initiative, his father, prince charles, tweeting, "we need to come together to build the sustainable future we so desperately need." a less wild world is| a less stable world. another supporter, david attenborough. that's why i agreed to join. the earthshot prize council.

i noticed the ironing venders in my street using charcoal... behind all of this is a desire to move beyond the often gloomy environmental headlines to inspire and reward people coming up with solutions. among the finalists, 14—year—old vinisha umashanka from india, who has designed a solar—powered ironing cart that can even charge mobile phones. and across london to mark this moment, an environmental light show at a number of landmarks — most notably, a green buckingham palace. a host of stars arrived at alexandra palace ready to watch the much—anticipated ceremony hosted by clara amfo and dermot o'leary. yeah, i think we are both feeling obviously naturally a tiny bit nervous, because it is a big deal, the first one, but there is a calm there because i think of the intention of this event

and what we are trying to let people know, prince william, trying to let people know, it is for the best of us all, so i think there is a joy into delivering that message to the people we will see tonight. these ideas are truly, truly incredible. and are here to celebrate how great they are. and i think it would be very easy to be quite po—faced, but actually the approach from the ground up, and that comes from him, to be fair, it has never been like that, it has much been to celebrate these people. unbelievable. in many ways, shapes and for a lot of these people are businessmen, but it is not like theyjust did a start—up because they wanted a quick buck. the intention is coming from the right place. breaking news, a statement issued by the labour party in scotland this evening that the former labour mp ernie ross, who represented dundee west from 1979 to 2005 has died

peacefully at his home in dundee. but the labour leader anna sawa in london paid tribute to his passionate voice against injustice not just passionate voice against injustice notjust in dundee, but across the world. ernie ross, the former labour mp, has died at the age of 79. at least 25 people have been killed and others are missing in the southern indian state of kerala, after heavy rain caused landslides and floods. homes were damaged and trees and power lines were brought down. many towns and villages remain cut off. the indian military are assisting emergency teams. windermere in the lake district could become "ecologically dead" within years, because of the amount of sewage being pumped into its waters, according to campaigners. an online petition calling for a ban on sewage pollution, has now reached over 99,000 signatures. but the situation is complex — as our environment correspondent judy hobson explains.

tourists come to the lake district for its outstanding natural beauty, but campaigners say the water quality in windermere is so poor it's a national scandal. and there has just been the biggest blue—green algal bloom, all because of sewage entering the lake. a local conservationist has been filming water pollution in the area. that dark patch is a benthic algal bloom. this is the river rothay that feeds into the lake. it actually prevents invertebrates from being able to breed on the substrate of the river itself and then, because of that, tourists come to the lake district for its outstanding natural beauty, invertebrates have died and, subsequent to that, fish are dying. matt has started an online petition calling for a ban on sewage pollution in windermere. he said the waters here are close to ecological collapse. i have seen a decline in fish, invertebrates, freshwater vegetation. i have seen otter spraint completely absent of white—clawed crayfish.

i have seen dead fish floating down the river past me. it is in a very dire state and it will only get worse. algal blooms come and go, but they are appearing more frequently and they can be very harmful to humans and animals. there are two many main sources of sewage entering windermere. one is from the waste treatment site, and that comes in when we have rain. they call it their storm overflow system. and the other is from septic tanks. there are over 1,500 septic tanks that are around windermere itself and there is no regulation keeping these in check. last year, the sewage treatment plant at ambleside overflowed for weeks after heavy rain. what you can see is the very fine filters at the back end. the company said it happens to prevent flooding, but a new plant at windermere is now improving water quality. over the past five years, we have invested £40 million into our assets around windermere both at ambleside, glebe road station and here at windermere waste water treatment works to address some of those challenges. but the sewage problem comes from different sources and the answer will be for different organisations to work together. the nutrients have probably been discharged over decades. - so it's a case of continual-

improvements in ongoing work and then looking to the future. it is notjust local people — it is a special part of the world for millions from all around the world. it is a unesco world heritage site. it is known for its natural beauty but now we have to protect that. that was judy hobson reporting from the lake district. pigs have been deployed at one of europe's busiest airports to keep geese away from farmland between the runways. the bbc�*s correspondent in the netherlands anna holligan has been to see them in action. are pigs the new scarecrows7 i think pigs are the best scarecrows you can have. they are really big, large, moving, and they are a natural way of keeping the geese away. but their greatest attribute here is their appetite. they really like to eat everything.

the idea is they'll gobble up leftovers from the sugar beet harvest, removing the crop residue from this freshly turned soil that usually entices the winged trespassers. this is the sugar beet. when they harvest the crop, they take the sugar beet out. they sell the crop, and they leave the top of the crop, the harvest residue over here, and the birds really like it. but the pigs are here first, so they eat it, and that is why the birds fly over and search for another place. this pig patrol is being used in combination with technological innovations like sound generators and green lasers that spook the geese. they are watching 24/7. we have bird detection radars at schiphol. birds learn pretty fast. so we have to keep innovating

with the measures. when you look around, this land is below sea level. it's fertile farmland. it's very attractive for geese especially. you're battling against nature really here. and the pigs can play a role on this front line. they sure can, yeah. these are sensitive, intelligent creatures, so i am curious about how they feel being so close to the runways. here they've got, like, four soccer fields. they have the same houses, the same water system and feed system. so it is really normal to keep them this way. these snuffling swine are part of a six—week pilot project, and if they are successful in keeping the birds and geese away from the runway, then similar projects could be trotted out at airports all over the world.
