people. he saw a man or boy, they looked young... he said he could hear the woman screaming help. he said, i wish i had shouted something out of the window. he then says he saw a young man being stabbed first, then the woman. he said it was a repeated stabbing, four or five times. there is more details on that statement on the bbc live page. you can see there, we also have on the live page the latest pictures from that forensic operations on magdala road. that is a scene of another incident where the authorities say was linked to the one on ilkeston road. you can see the forensic tents and the forensic police officers who are clearly combing through what is very much an active crime scene. one man died on magdala road, two people died on ilkeston road. three people died on ilkeston road. three people died altogether this morning in

nottingham. three people are injured, and those three people remain in hospital. those three people, authorities say, were hit by a van. a van which attempted to run them over. i think that we have the stills of that white van which has just come into the bbc. hopefully we can bring up those stills in a second. and, those pictures have just come in. that incident on milton street, there you have it, is where police say a van attempted to run over those three people. those people are being treated in hospital. and there you go. that is the latest that we have from one of the latest that we have from one of the locations, milton street. as you can see there, police cordons, and in other parts of the city centre. and a huge forensic operation on magdala road. now, we also have been hearing from the police on what you

can do if you witnessed anything. nottinghamshire police say that if you saw anything, or if you are concerned about a family member or friend, then you can call the special dedicated emergency phone line. we will give you the number. it is on the screen now. you can see it. now, through the course of the morning, we have been getting reactions from the country's politicians. rishi sunak has tweeted a statement on the incident, he we have also heard from the home

secretary, suella braverman, who posted this update on social media. it is we also heard from the labour leader, sir keir starmer who commented on the incident while speaking at an event at london tech week. we can listen to what he had to say. week. we can listen to what he had to sa . ., , week. we can listen to what he had tosa. to say. people will probably be seeinu to say. people will probably be seeing the _ to say. people will probably be seeing the news. _ to say. people will probably be seeing the news. i— to say. people will probably be seeing the news. i don't - to say. people will probably be seeing the news. i don't think| to say. people will probably be - seeing the news. i don't think that we can start the session without acknowledging that there has been a serious incident in nottingham this morning. information is still coming through, but it has been reported that three people have lost their lives. i am sure that i speak for everyone in this room in saying that we would like to send our thoughts to all those affected, and to the emergency services who are responding to this as we speak. we

will get to tech, obviously, in a moment. wejust need will get to tech, obviously, in a moment. we just need to acknowledge it. we are sending our thoughts are those affected and thank those who are responding to this in behalf of all of us. ., are responding to this in behalf of all of us. . ., , are responding to this in behalf of all of us. . .,, ., ., all of us. that was labour leader sir keir starmer. _ all of us. that was labour leader sir keir starmer. earlier, - all of us. that was labour leader sir keir starmer. earlier, i - all of us. that was labour leaderj sir keir starmer. earlier, i spoke to a memberfrom bbc radio nottingham. she gave us more information on where those three incidents, which are all linked, took place. mi incidents, which are all linked, took place-— incidents, which are all linked, took lace. �* ., , ., took place. all of the roads lead into the city _ took place. all of the roads lead into the city centre. _ took place. all of the roads lead into the city centre. the - took place. all of the roads lead | into the city centre. the ilkeston road please enter the city centre well the first incident was. i live at the end of ilkeston road. that is at the end of ilkeston road. that is a major bus route coming into the city. it is a very busy road. and then, the milton street road, that has a tramlines on. that is where the van incident took place. that is a street one up from ilkeston road, where you are coming into the city

centre. the geography is that they are quite close, but they are also a fair distance if you are a pedestrian. if you are driving, not very far at all, if you are walking into the city centre, then it would take you a few minutes, at least ten minutes, to walk between these two places. the city of nottingham is a fantastic city, everything feels like it is incredibly close together, easily reachable. all of the transport links are very very goodin the transport links are very very good in the city centre. that is why it is such a big disruption and a shock for people coming in this morning. these are incredibly busy, well used streets where these incidents have occurred. that well used streets where these incidents have occurred. that was my colleaaue incidents have occurred. that was my colleague from _ incidents have occurred. that was my colleague from bbc— incidents have occurred. that was my colleague from bbc radio _ incidents have occurred. that was my| colleague from bbc radio nottingham. she is at the scene. as we have been saying, we have not heard camera from the police in nottingham. we do know that they are investigating, and their investigation is ongoing. that is evidenced by the images we have seen from the scene. chief

constable... chief constable kate meynell had this statement: we have also heard from the east midlands ambulance services who say that hey have been responding to the incident. they said in a statement: if you are to keep with this, the bbc live page on the website and the

bbc live page on the website and the bbc news app have those updates. we do have some pictures on that, as well. we showed you these earlier, they share the scene near the scene of a rest. you can see the white van which we believe is a white vauxhall. it is according to the pa news agency parked... a la at bbc verify have confirmed that this is where the arrest took place the area around the van is cordoned off. police are guarding the perimeter. it is near a convenience the three fatalities, three people injured, but police say they are all linked, so we are starting to see more images come in from those three separate crime scenes. there are

also images of magdala road there where we can say forensic teams in their white suits and a forensic tent that has been set up, as well. my tent that has been set up, as well. my colleague has been monitoring developments for us. she has a map there and images that have come in. tell us a bit more about what you and the team have been finding out through the morning. we. and the team have been finding out through the morning.— through the morning. we. at the arrests. through the morning. we. at the arrests- we _ through the morning. we. at the arrests. we know _ through the morning. we. at the arrests. we know that _ through the morning. we. at the arrests. we know that a - through the morning. we. at the i arrests. we know that a 31-year-old arrests. we know that a 31—year—old man is in police custody and this van is pictured near the arrest site. i will show you where that is in relation to these other incidents. you can see the van they a convenience store. what we are looking at is down here in this area. just here you can see the convenience store and around here is where that van was seen. nottingham

city centre is much further over here, so around this area. we will have a look in greater detail at some of those other locations. just orient you as to where these incidents took place, i have an overview. we have the first incident here were two people were found dead on ilkeston road, one of the main arteries heading into the city. then we have milton street, this is where the van incident took place, so three people were injured and taken to hospital there. that is where the city centre is and the police takes in that area. we have magdala road, where a man was found dead. we are building at their picture of the timeline of how this played out. the police were called to this incident at around 4am and eyewitnesses say that saw the ban at 530 in the morning in this area. if i take you

to have a bit of a clearer look at some of these areas. this is ilkeston road heading into the city centre. it is a major road, a mixture of houses, businesses, a mixed—use area and very busy. we have also got another incident here. you are watching bbc news. another incident here. this was the death of a man found at magdala road. this is the city centre. this route is where the city centre. this route is where the van attack happened. around here the van attack happened. around here the police caught in is still in place. it stretches all the way around here. also there are road closures here. one of the roads heading up towards that single man was found dead. that has also been cordoned off. i have some more

to build a picture of what happened and also gather evidence in the event that this case comes to trial. that is really important. the second aspect, which we are not seeing but i'm sure has been going on behind—the—scenes for five or six hours, is to find out about this individual who is in custody, the 31—year—old suspect he has been arrested on suspicion of murder. what the police know about him. who is he? where is he from? i'm sure that they have gone to his home address, raided that address, looking for computers and laptops, mobile phones, searched through his accounts to find out if he is linked to anyone else, whether he has been discussing this with anyone else, whether there is any motivation behind what he has done. that will behind what he has done. that will be the absolute priority. i would have thought i like police would be some way advanced in those investigations, although getting

access to digital devices is not necessarily straightforward. the other thing is they would have asked him immediately whether this is part of any wider campaign or wider plots, if other people were involved. they would have already asked those questions because this is clearly potentially crucial to ascertaining whether there is a wider threats. those are the two strands of the investigation. we are not hearing a lot about the investigation, the suspect is in custody, but when police have an update they will provide it. the main areas _ update they will provide it. the main areas in _ update they will provide it. the main areas in nottingham city centre are obviously still crime scenes. the police cordons remain there. that is several hours since the incidents were reported to have taken place. 4am in the morning, now we are getting close to one ipm. is

that typical? hf we are getting close to one 1pm. is that typical?— that typical? if you think of any crime or somebody _ that typical? if you think of any crime or somebody has - that typical? if you think of any crime or somebody has been i that typical? if you think of any i crime or somebody has been found dead, someone suspected of murder, if you think of any crime scene, it can take hours for police and forensic science experts to go through that scene looking for all the evidence. you can't leave something to chance, you can't miss out something. you just do not know how this investigation is going to unfold, what the suspect might say. imagine the suspect says that it was an accident is that he went into the people on the road, imagined he said that, you would have to make sure that, you would have to make sure that you have, that you can potentially conjure that line of defence, that you have looked at tire mulch on the road, cctv, you have evidence from the road, all

sorts of markings, everything like that, it is something that has to take some time. clearly because of this unusual situation what it means for nottingham unfortunately is large parts of the city are cordoned off. i'm sure police will be mindful off. i'm sure police will be mindful of trying to get the traffic moving again as quickly as possible. in terms of the other strand of the investigation, i'm sure that nottinghamshire police have been in touch with their counterparts in the counterterrorism units. there is a regional unit, also at the national headquarters based in scotland yard to find out if there is any possible terror link, because on the face of it, this looks like it has the hallmarks of a terrorism attack, but we shouldn'tjump to conclusions because it might not be terrorism related at all. at the moment is being handled by nottinghamshire police. if it is declared to be a terrorism incident and that

declaration can only come from tim jake, the deputy assistant commissionerfor jake, the deputy assistant commissioner for counterterrorism, if it comes, then scotland yard counterterrorism department will take over. at counterterrorism department will take over. . , , ., ., ., take over. at this stage, we do not know what — take over. at this stage, we do not know what the _ take over. at this stage, we do not know what the motives _ take over. at this stage, we do not know what the motives are. i take over. at this stage, we do not know what the motives are. as i take over. at this stage, we do not| know what the motives are. as you say, nottinghamshire police are overseeing that investigation for now. just about the areas in nottingham, we heard from one eyewitness that he was not surprised that this sort of crime might have taken place in that area. our colleague at bbc radio nottingham said that she was a price. you probably know the area as well, what with your assessment of price. you probably know the area as well, what with your assessment of that? ~ well, what with your assessment of that? . ,., , , well, what with your assessment of that? . , , , that? well, sadly, there is very little that surprises _ that? well, sadly, there is very little that surprises me - that? well, sadly, there is very little that surprises me these i that? well, sadly, there is very i little that surprises me these days. it is a sad fact that every year, we get major incidents, attacks, whether they be criminal or

terrorist related in the uk. you think back to a couple of years ago, when we have the shooting spree in click pillow meth, in devon, you hear about other tax —— in plymouth in devon. obviously, we have had terrorist incidents. i think the last one was the fire bomb attack in dover. the individual responsible died. that was driven by an extremist ideology according to scotland yard. it took some days before that was declared terrorist related. sadly, it doesn't surprise me stop nottingham is a very big city. it is a city with a very big student population, there may well have been students out, at four o'clock coming back from clubs, bars, as other young people would have been. there would have been people going to work early early shifts. one of the things police will be wanting to investigate is

why that timing, so early in the morning, was it deliberately targeted at certain groups of people? was it as a race empty, so he could away or speed through the roads, knocking people down? or was it simply that that was the time that this all came to a boil? we just do not know. one thing, looking at all of the footage, you do wonder whether the van, the white van, was new. the number plates will have been seen by photographers and camera people. they will probably be tracing it. they will be working out who it belongs to. those inquiries will be happening already. the bbc home affairs _ will be happening already. the bbc home affairs correspondent, i will be happening already. the bbc home affairs correspondent, thank| home affairs correspondent, thank you very much for sharing your insights. we must stress that we still do not know the motive for what happened, all we know at the moment is that a 31—year—old man has been arrested on suspicion of

murder, and that he is in police custody. we know three people are dead after three separate incidents this morning, and that three people are in hospital after they were injured. well, in the last few minutes, we have heard from downing street. a rishi sunak�*s official spokesman says the prime minister was informed about these incidents early this morning. his spokesman repeated some of the information we have already been following. he said, this is a large police investigation and that a man has been arrested on suspicion of murder. up spokesman added that the prime minister is limited in terms of what we can say, but that the media and the prime minister, rishi sunak, and suella braverman have already shared with the media, i should say, they are closely monitoring the latest developments. of course, we did share those statements from the prime minister's rishi sunak and suella braverman,
