�*welcome to newsday, reporting live from singapore, i'm karishma vaswani. the headlines. the family of the british mp david amess, who was stabbed to death on friday, has urged people to be tolerant — regardless of their religious or political beliefs. those responsible for security at parliament, say his death must force change. we've got to make the best come out of this hideous, hideous killing of our colleagues. and what i would say is that we will look at all different measures. also on the programme: what future for afghan women and girls under taliban rule. we have a special report. don't you think the women and girls in your country deserve to know when they can go back to their education,

when they can go back to theirjobs? and — the duke of cambridge reveals the winners of his earthshot prize. five, $1.3 million awards, to help save the planet. it's six in the morning in singapore, and ”pm in the uk where the family of the mp killed in a knife attack on friday, sir david amess, has issued a statement urging calm, in the aftermath of his death. in it they say... "whatever one's

they added that their hearts have been shattered by his death. the home secretary, priti patel, is considering a range of measures to protect mps at constituency surgeries. the man arrested 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 counter terrorism 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, which is designed to stop people being drawn into terrorism. he was not an mi5 subject of interest. in leigh—on—sea, the murdered mp was being remembered at a series of church services. our community has been really rocked by the death of sir david amess. in a statement, sir david's family said they were "absolutely broken" and then... and as the town mourned its long—serving member of parliament,

we learned more details about how 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 the people outside came running in to 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's 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. so this isn't about just about saying, "let's go for option a, have bodyguards or security." there's a panoply of measures and we have to be proportionate in terms of the risk individuals are subject to. sir david was allegedly murdered

in this church hall by a man who'd apparently booked an appointment to see him, but his killing may change forever how british politics works. daniel sandford, bbc news. the speaker of the house of commons, who helps oversee security around mps, says lessons must be learned, after what he called a "hideous killing". mps are warning of increasing hostility towards politicians. our political correspondent, damian grammaticas has more details. in leigh—on—sea today, more tributes for sir david amess. many have come from his constituents but some from neighbouring mps. the killing of one of their number has shaken many. this morning, across the airwaves, they had stories of how they too had faced threats. i do you feel safe doing yourjobi going around your constituency? not really, no, if i'm honest. mps are treated as if

we weren't humans. what we've seen is the encouragement of a climate often of hostility _ towards members of parliament. i've had people writing in my office wall, "andrea, why don't you kill yourself?" my staff are pretty scared most of the time. i had a threat to - abduct my children. another essex mp who came to davies andrew rosindell, notjust a parliamentary neighbour but a friend of sir david. now there's obviously a fear that there's bad people out there that want to do harm and david is a victim of that. so i'm afraid it will change...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's overseeing the review, says mps have to be protected but democracy and openness too. i don't want to go into a knee—jerk reaction to say what we need to do. tragically, we've lost our friend sir david amess. our thoughts are with his family.

and what i want to say is that we've got to do the right thing and that we've got to make the best come out of this hideous, hideous killing of our colleague. 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 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 their account, that company should hold enough data and information about that individual so that the police can get access to that with a court order as part of an investigation and users should know that even if they're 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.

it's been a month since the taliban banned girls from secondary schools in most of afghanistan. women, except for those in the public health sector, have not been allowed to return to work yet. the bbc has obtained exclusive access to the former women's affairs ministry in kabul, now replaced by the feared taliban vice and virtue ministry, and questioned the group's spokesman on the future of women in afghanistan. from kabul, the bbc�*s south asia correspondent yogita limaye reports. at 17, her life — with all its possibilities — has been shut down. before the taliban took over, she would have been preparing the school, along with her brother, each morning. now afghan girls face the biggest rollback in human rights in recent times.

at the top of her class, she wanted to be a doctor. the family lives hand—to—mouth and education was their path to a better future. under an all—male taliban regime, women are disappearing from public life. they haven't been allowed to return to work yet. those who march to claim back their rights have been beaten.

we met one of the protesters who were slashed with electric cables in kabul. till august, she supported herfamily of six. now, she's out of a job. the taliban are keen to show they're more moderate than their last time in power. their actions so far belie the claims. this used to be the women's affairs ministry, which no longer exists under the taliban government.

it's been replaced by the ministry of vice and virtue, which is to be the most feared section of the previous taliban regime. what future do women have in an afghanistan ruled by the taliban, we are here to ask. it's hard to imagine afghan women journalists would get to question the taliban like this. surrounded by their men, i asked a taliban spokesman when girls could go back to school, women to work. your government, your leaders have said that women should not return to work right now because of the security situation. you said the same thing about girls going to secondary schools. so it's not true that you have allowed them and they are not going.

how much time? don't you think the women and girls in your country deserve to know when they can go back to their education, when they can go back to theirjobs? they are the future of afghanistan, but half of this country's population has no place in it right now. afghan girls are asking if the world will hold the taliban to account. yogita limaye, bbc news, kabul. let's take a look at some other stories in the headlines. 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. officials in the canary islands of spain say there's no end in sight to the volcanic eruption that began a month ago. a regional leader said scientists saw no signs of the lava flows stopping any time soon. the disaster has displaced 7,000 people and destroyed more than 1,000 buildings on the island of la palma. the former us president bill clinton has left hospital where he'd been receiving treatment for an infection. the seventy five year old thanked healthcare workers as he walked out of the university of california's irvine medical centre where he was admitted five days ago. he was accompanied by his wife hillary. 0pposition parties in hungary have chosen their candidate to take on the right wing prime minister, viktor0rban, in elections next year. a conservative political outsider with no party affiliation — peter marki—zay — has won the country's first ever opposition primaries.

he will lead an alliance of six opposition parties that will bid to oust 0rban after more than a decade in power. the winners of the duke of cambridge�*s inaugural earthshot prize were announced on sunday night. the awards celebrated the five entrants who came up with the most innovative solutions to environmental problems. each received the equivalent of $1.1; million at a ceremony at alexandra palace in london. 0ur science editor david shukman was there. each year, we will award five £1 million prizes to those who we believe can transform our chances of repairing our planet. inspired by the missions to the moon, the aim is to heal planet earth, to try to tackle the most serious environmental problems. the ceremony to hand out the awards, a call to action from sir david attenborough. we don't have eternity. we need to do this now

and over the next ten years, and if we put our minds to it, i believe we can do that. cheering and applause. congratulations to coral vita. the winning teams are mostly small but with big potential. a project to grow coral in the bahamas, using special tanks to speed up the process of restoring reefs. a portable machine developed in india to turn agricultural waste into fertiliser so that farmers don't burn their fields and cause air pollution. and a clever design in thailand using renewable energy to make hydrogen. winning this prize is recognition that we are going in the right direction. it will support us to go into mass production and it will boost us towards our goal of accelerating the access of green hydrogen for everyone. the eartshot to build

a waste—free world goes to... the city of milan. another global challenge is waste and the city of milan wins a prize for collecting unused food and giving it to people who need it most. the final prize for restoring nature went to costa rica, a country that once cleared most of its forests but has now doubled the number of trees. the plan now is for the winning projects to be scaled up so that they can make a real difference globally. we will have to see how well that works out in the practice but in any event, they'll offer something badly needed in the run—up to the climate summit in glasgow next month — a sense of optimism. david shukman, bbc news. celebrating some really innovative solutions there for such a monumental problem. if you want to get

in touch with me i'm on twitter — @bbckarishma. i'm looking forward to hearing from you. you're watching newsday on the bbc. still to come on the programme... no more social distancing in mecca's grand mosque. worshipers are now allowed to pray side by side for the first time since the start of the pandemic. a historic moment that many of his victims have waited forfor decades. the former dictator in the dock older, slimmer. and as he sat down, obedient enough. dawn, and as the sun breaks through the piercing chill of night on a plane outside, it lights up a biblicalfamine now in the 20th century. the depressing conclusion, in argentina today it is actually cheaper to paper your walls with money. we've had controversies in the past

with great britain, but— as good friends we have always found a good and lasting solution. - concorde bows out in style after almost three decades in service. an aircraft that has enthralled its many admirers for so long taxis home one last time. this is newsday on the bbc. a us charity has confirmed the kidnapping of 17 people in haiti associated with its christian missionary work. the group was taken off a bus after a visit to an orphanage. a statement from the christian aid ministries says the group includes five men, seven women, and five children. haiti has one of the highest rates

of kidnapping in the world, due to a lack of security. let's speak to the jacqueline charles, caribbean correspondent for the miami herald. shejoins us from miami. great to have you on newsday today. in the first instance, what are the latest details that you have heard on the kidnapping, do we know who is behind it, what more can you tell us? inaudible. we are having a bit of difficulty hearing you, i'm just going to ask that question again, what are the latest details you have heard on the kidnapping so far, what more can you tell us? yes. heard on the kidnapping so far, what more can you tell us?— more can you tell us? yes, i have been in touch _ more can you tell us? yes, i have been in touch with _ more can you tell us? yes, i have been in touch with the _ more can you tell us? yes, i have been in touch with the haitian - been in touch with the haitian national police and they still do not have confirmation of the

in touch with family members or the agency in a system in terms of negotiations. contrary to what many americans believe the fbi does not go in and free the individuals come they also do not pay ransom. it will guide you for how to do these negotiations and it is very tough. a lot of people do not have the stomach to deal with it because these gangs in haiti are requesting money in order to release individuals. more than likely this is how this ends, not the police. we have had some instances but it is very rare, often people are freed because a ransom has been paid. you have talked — because a ransom has been paid. you have talked with the number of kidnappings that take place in haiti, just this year alone as you pointed out. why does this happen so much? the pointed out. why does this happen so much? ~ ., , , pointed out. why does this happen so much? ~' ., , , , ., ., much? the kidnapping phenomenon in haiti is very complicated. _

allowing visitors to pray as they used to — shoulder—to—shoulder. the bbc�*s alanjohnston told us more about the changes brought in from today. that black cube structure in the centre of the mosque courtyard, known as the kaaba, is the point at which muslims all over the world pray each day. and this is one of the really great gathering points of the world, we're used to seeing worshipers in large numbers pressing up towards that central point and moving around the mosque compound en masse. but of course, under the conditions of the coronavirus pandemic, that had to stop — social distancing measures were introduced, and you would see worshipers there spaced out in ranks quite far apart, looking strikingly unfamiliar, and it lost perhaps some of the atmosphere you'd get when you have large numbers of worshipers devout in unrestrained ways. but today is all about change, the markers on the floor were taken

up and, as you said, people in the first time since the pandemic began were able to pray there as normal, shoulder—to—shoulder. at the same time, though, some restrictions remain — people have to be double vaccinated to enter the mosque compound and they have to wear face masks while they're there. a russian film crew has left the international space station after ending production of the first movie to be filmed in space. actress, yulia peresild and director klim shipenko spent nearly two weeks in space filming scenes for the feature. parvin kumar ramchurn reports. the film—makers blasted off into space earlier this month at the start of their mission. a cosmonautjoined them as they tackled the tricky task of shooting scenes for the film entitled the challenge. undocking confirmed. a similar idea to film and space was by tom cruise, together with nasa and spacex. but the russian crew beat them to it.

that's all for now — stay with bbc world news. hello. i fancy you will be delving into different sections of your auto wardrobe for the week ahead. certainly some waterproofs required during the first half, we are going to see spells of a wet and windy weather. punctuated by some sunnier moments. but temperatures will be a bit contrast as well. start the week with low pressure across the atlantic, we are actually going to drag our air up from the tropics, some unusually mild air coming ourway. but as that low pressure pushes its way eastwards we may see the return of sunshine more widely, but there will be a brief shot of arctic air coming in from the north. that is a long way off to begin with, and it is the mild air taking hold through monday. pretty mild and it is the mild airtaking hold through monday, beginning pretty mild notes for many in the morning rush hour.

coolest with single figure temperatures across the midlands, east anglia, southeast. best of the sunshine here lasting longer through the day as well. rain through the morning rush hour in northern ireland, spreading across wales, western england and scotland during the morning and into the afternoon. a bit further eastwards, it's not arriving to the channel islands, east anglia until later in the afternoon and for some maybe not even into the evening. brighter conditions to end the day in some western parts. but it is still fairly cloudy. temperatures, though, above where we would normally expect this stage in mid—october. heavy rain to end the day. east anglia and southeast that gradually clears away. some dry conditions for a time overnight, best of the clear weather to the north and east, but more wet and increasingly windy weather start to push in from the southwest. one of the mildest nights of the week, then come on monday night into tuesday with temperatures higher in the morning then we would normally expect during the afternoon. and that is because we have still got that low pressure just to the west of us dragging in southerly winds. the warmest of the airjust ahead of these weather fronts which are going to spread rain more extensively across the country on tuesday. some heavy bursts, fairly erratic, that movement northwards and eastwards. some seeing higher rainfall totals than others. brightening up across ireland later on and some afternoon

sunshine potentially in east anglia and the southeast, even on the hazy side we could see temperatures get up to around 21 degrees. this stage in october your average temperatures are ten to ia degrees across the country. and we could be probably around those values at night and into thursday morning. low pressure still around across the country through wednesday night, and we are going to see more in the area of low pressure systems spreading their way northwards and eastwards. this one will bring heavy rain at times through the central swath of the country. brightening up on the southern flank of it before more wet and windy weather arrives. not a bad day through the northern half of scotland. sunshine and showers later in northern ireland. but whilst we will see temperatures 17 or 18 in the south and east it's really cold across the north and that cooling trend continues into thursday.
