they are completely heartbroken. that is sir david's wifejudy, his four girls and a boy as well for top obviously you can see over the breath of the attributes we've seen pictures and video footage of over the past couple of days just how well love he was. notjust by his family but also the community within, south end where he was the mp since 1997. the most striking part of their statement for me was the fact that they said even though he is no longer with us many of his causes will continue in the family and as a statement how the mayor has mentioned two of them one is the statute as we saw a symbol of patriotic briton and a resilience essentially won a statue of her on the white cliffs of dover for reasons you can appreciate. the second one is city stages for south bend. all plans two races may be granted city status to coincide with the queensjubilee. became a joke at west minister every time he stood up

where we don't actually know very much about what and if there is a motive behind this. yes much about what and if there is a motive behind this.— motive behind this. yes indeed. i soke to motive behind this. yes indeed. i spoke to peeple _ motive behind this. yes indeed. i spoke to people in _ motive behind this. yes indeed. i spoke to people in whitehall- spoke to people in whitehall who were involved in the investigation on saturday evening, they said they were really at a loss as to why sir david amess had been killed. as daisy was saying he was a long serving backbench mp not someone who ever sought ministerial high office and wasjust very ever sought ministerial high office and was just very content being a great champion for his constituency. but there is an intriguing story on the front page of the times that says his close ties to qatar are being investigated by the police. they said all avenues are being looked at through this investigation. and we know that the man who has been arrested for his, although not charge for his murder is the son of former prime minister adviser in somalia. it is work to a net worth noting that qatar backs the somalian president. it's not necessarily a clear geopolitical link that could be put forward
11:39 pm
whatever reasoning was behind this absolutely dreadful act here. it's been a huge amount of bafflement. i think this speaks to a wider question about loan will terrorists. this is the thing that british security and citizens are always most fearful of because it's so hard to track. ., most fearful of because it's so hard to track. . ., ,, , , to track. that takes us quite seamlessly _ to track. that takes us quite seamlessly into _ to track. that takes us quite seamlessly into the - to track. that takes us quite seamlessly into the front. to track. that takes us quite seamlessly into the front of| to track. that takes us quite . seamlessly into the front of the telegraph, sebastian. yes seamlessly into the front of the telegraph, sebastian.— seamlessly into the front of the telegraph, sebastian. yes and they have said that _ telegraph, sebastian. yes and they have said that there _ telegraph, sebastian. yes and they have said that there are _ telegraph, sebastian. yes and they have said that there are even - telegraph, sebastian. yes and they have said that there are even morej have said that there are even more concern about the following lockdown of people being at home and online the whole time. even more people will open radicalised creating more lone roof terrace if this is a terrorist incident as we think that it is at the state. it's just so hard to track, quite a huge human and technical resources to track one of these potential lone wolf people. we know that the suspect in this david back on killing was known to benefit in the prevent programme. we don't know the prevent skin which he is counterterrorism at a community level had engaged with them. these are all things that will be looked
