4:02 pm
circumstances of what has happened during this tragic incident. but i will say we are not treating this as a terrorist incident. our officers have already spoken to a number of witnesses and reviewed the cctv. if anyone has any information, please either call 101 or speak with officers at the scene. any information that can assist as we try to work out what's happened today. i will now hand you to drjohn martin from the london ambulance service, who can provide more details about their response. thank you. good afternoon. i'm john martin, the chief paramedic for london ambulance service. can i begin by saying on behalf of the london ambulance service that our thoughts are with all of those involved in this morning's incident? at 9.54, we received a 999 call to a collision on camp road in wimbledon. we dispatched multiple resources, including specialist critical care paramedics, london's air ambulance and 15 ambulances. we declared a major incident and stood up a specialist operation centre. we treated 16 patients on scene.
4:03 pm
sadly, as we've heard, one eight—year—old girl died. we conveyed ten patients to hospital. we want to thank our staff who worked hard and tirelessly whilst on scene, and also to the school staff and members of the public who helped in those early moments. our hearts go out to all those involved in today's tragic incident. i'll now hand over to andy from the london fire brigade. good afternoon, everybody. my name is andy penick from the london fire brigade. i'm deputy assistant commissioner for the south east area. i'd like to start by echoing the thoughts from john and claire around this tragic incident, and our thoughts go out to the study preparatory school, family and friends of all those affected by today's tragic incident. london fire brigade crews were called to scene this morning where they initially assisted by making emergency access for police and ambulance colleagues and then supported london ambulance
4:04 pm
service paramedics in administering immediate emergency care to members of the public that were injured as part of this incident. we are now prepared and will support the study preparatory school and the wider community through our community engagement function. and we will also be supporting our staff who responded to this tragic incident. i'd like to close by thanking london ambulance, metropolitan police, the local school and local community who all stepped forward to support everybody involved in today's tragic incidents. thank you. thank you, andy. i'll now take a couple of questions. bbc news. i'm so sorry for all of you for what's happened at the school today. i wondered if i could ask you just to give us a sense of sort of what was happening before the crash happened and what was the scene after and what you need to do in terms of the investigation. and if i may, to ask you, the chair of governors and the headteacher,
4:05 pm
i mean, this is absolutely devastating for the school. can you give us your thoughts as to what this tragedy means for you, the parents and the pupils? maybe we could start with you, if that's all right, because we haven't heard from you. you perhaps appreciate that the school community is profoundly affected by this tragedy. and at the moment, we're really not in a position to make any further comment about it. we will be in communication with all of those in the community about the further steps that we as a school will be taking. if i can just ask about the investigation, if we can. what happened here? do we know how a car could plow into a school on such a quiet road? that's what everybody wants to know. i don't think it would be appropriate for me to speculate. it's very early in the investigation and we obviously need to kind of unpick it. there's a lot of witnesses. you can imagine that the scene was very, very crowded, very busy, very chaotic. and i don't think it would be appropriate for me to speculate.
4:06 pm
as i've said, we're not treating it as a terrorist incident, but other than that, i can't comment any further. can you tell us about the next stages of the investigation? but what is your priority? well, our priority will be to identify all witnesses. to get their account of what happened. to view the cctv. obviously, there's a person in custody that will have to be interviewed, and from that stage onwards, we'll have to review the evidence and make a decision about what actually happened. but it's very early on and too early to say... it looked like an end of term gathering. i think we'll leave it there. i think we've taken enough questions, but i think that's just the severity of the other injuries. are we likely to have more damages? all i can say at this stage is that there were a number of people being treated in hospital. thank you very much for your time. live now to our reporter,
4:07 pm
nickjohnson. striking, the level of visible emotion that we can see in the statements. as you mentioned, the metropolitan police detective superintendent microfibre sink that an eight—year—old girl died in this incident this morning, a woman in her 40s was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. —— clair kelland. and remains in custody. we got a little bit more information from the london ambulance service in terms of the number of people who were taken to hospital. he said there were 16 patients treated at the scene, ten of those were taken to hospital, and that it—year—old little girl having lost her life. the paramedics also did say that the initially declared a major incident at the scene, and they set up a major incident centre here. they dispatched for shifting ambulances in the air ambulance as well. it was interesting, perhaps
4:08 pm
not surprising, that the school, obviously very moved by what has been happening and the stairs don't want to give too much information. we had from the chair of governors who said the school is profoundly affected and will be for some time to come. just before that a press conference, there was a clinical psychologist who had been a dispatch from the local hospital who said she was here to support the staff that were on site, we have seen a number of staff coming and going to the school throughout the afternoon, looking visibly distressed. and this is a small community, geographically. and a lot of the people that have been moving around here so they know people that are at that school, so i think that resonates when the school says that this will be really affecting them profoundly. but as you say, the police wouldn't be drawn any further on what actually happened and what happened with the driver behind the
4:09 pm
wheel. we don't yet know the condition of the other people still being treated in hospital. all we know is that they remain in hospital. and we are hoping that the police were given some sort of up—to—date, but there clearly seeing that this is in the early stages of what this it is a very complex investigation, and one that is still moving. the wagner group leader, yevgeny prigozhin, has left belarus and may be in the russian city of st petersburg. that's according to the belarusian leader alexander lukashenko. mr prigozhin led wagner's short—lived mutiny in russia last month. mr lukashenko said he had — in his words — offered to let mr prigozhin "bed down" in belarus, as part of the deal to end the rebellion. nine days ago, mr lukashenko confirmed that the mercenary group leader had arrived in his country. this is what the belarusian leader said a little earlier. as for prigozhin, he is in st petersburg. he may have gone to
4:10 pm
moscow this morning, or somewhere else. he is not in the territory of belarus. our colleagues from bbc verify have been tracking prigozhin's movements for the last few days. here is jake horton. this picture is the last confirmed image of yevgeny prigozhin, the leader of the mercenary force, wagner. it was taken on the 24th ofjune in the southern russian city of rostov—on—don, during the failed military rebellion that he led. now, he hasn't been seen in public for almost two weeks now. so, where is he? so, we at bbc verified have been tracking this plane, which has been linked to mr prigozhin. since the rebellion, it flew towards belarus, where mr prigozhin was offered refuge, but since then it has returned to russia and has been bouncing between moscow and st petersburg. but this weekend, on the first ofjuly, it was seen heading towards belarus again. it left st petersburg and flew south towards the belarusian capital of minsk. and this isn't the only flight the plane has taken this week. we can see in tracking data that on the 3rd ofjuly it appeared
4:11 pm
in st petersburg again, despite its gps tracker going dark for the previous 2a hours. from st petersburg, it flew towards moscow, and just this morning, at 6:30am, we tracked it, leaving moscow and flying south before turning its gps tracking data off here and then turning it on again here, about 200 kilometres north of the southern russian city of rostov—on—don. and it was near a military airbase in that area. now, rostov—on—don is, of course, the city which mr prigozhin and his wagner fighters seized during theirfailed military rebellion a couple of weeks ago. and we don't know that mr progozhin was definitely on this plane or his exact whereabouts, but we at bbc verify will continue to look for visual evidence about where exactly mr prigozhin is. meanwhile, in ukraine, a russian rocket has hit an apartment building in the western city of lviv, hundreds of kilometres from the front lines, killing at least four people. the mayor of lviv said the attack had left more than 30 people injured — one seriously — and that more
4:12 pm
than 50 flats had been damaged. these aerial images show the scale of the attack. the top floors of the apartment building have been devastated by the force of the explosion. the attack is being described as the largest on lviv�*s civilian infrastructure since the start of the full—scale invasion. translation: if it wasn't i for the rescuers, we wouldn't have left the apartment. the rescuers broke down the door and led us out. i am left without an apartment, without anything. i heard screams from the neighbours. i think they were being pulled out of the rubble. opposite me, there were terrifying screams. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. let's take a look at some other news making headlines across the uk. bosses of the four biggest banks are meeting the financial watchdog today to discuss concerns that interest rates on savings accounts are too low and aren't increasing
4:13 pm
as quickly as those on mortgages. the bosses of lloyds, hsbc, natwest and barclays have denied accusations from mps that they've been profiteering. the governor of the bank of england has told the bbc that there is evidence some retailers are overcharging customers. andrew bailey says regulators must take measures to prevent retailers taking advantage of high inflation and pushing through unfair price hikes, adding to the cost of living crisis. the government has suffered another series of defeats in the house of lords over its plans to deport asylum seekers who arrive in the uk on small boats. peers backed five new amendments to the illegal migration bill. in total, the government was defeated 20 times during three days of debate. the bill will now go back to the commons. you're live with bbc news.

4:16 pm
it was very obvious that they had already considered all the evidence against connor chapman. and as we know now, he has been found guilty of all those charges. in many ways, the strength of the conviction, the strength of the prosecution case meant there was little to answer stop if you go through some of the reasons why she was convicted. it was caught out by his phone records first and foremost. the place were able to find exactly where the car was come in for his mobile was, and they spotted that iai mobile was, and they spotted that iai times in the last three months, they were in exactly the same location. he used the burner fonts

gannets will survive. a reminder of our top story today. it is giving it news conference an hour or so ago it is giving it news conference an hour orso ago in it is giving it news conference an hour or so ago in south london where an eight—year—old girl has died after a car crashed into a primary school in wimbledon. paramedics told us that they treated 16 people for injuries after the land rover crashed into the the study preparatory school. this was just before 10am. the driver, a woman in her a05, before 10am. the driver, a woman in hera0s, has before 10am. the driver, a woman in her a05, has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. we will have more than that in this continuous updates. to stay with us here on bbc news. we are back very shortly with plenty more.
4:26 pm
hello there. the first week ofjuly, temperatures have been a little bit below average for most of us. however, that's about to change. it is set to get a lot hotter. before we get there, though, today is a day of sunny spell5 for many of us. a fair amount of cloud at times. satellite picture shows the thickest cloud to the north—west of the uk, and these weather fronts will be bringing some heavy outbreaks of rain. the low pressure associated with that rain starts to spin we5tward5 as we go through into friday, and that allows southerly winds to drag up some much hotter airfrom france. and so temperatures in the hottest areas by tomorrow will surge upwards, reaching highs of 29 degrees in the hottest parts. now, this afternoon, it's fairly quiet weather—wise. temperatures near average, some sunny spells for most of england, wales, eastern scotland, showers few and far between. but we've got heavier rain in northern ireland and for western counties of northern ireland. could see some localised surface water flooding building in with some heavier bursts here and that heavier rain will edge into western scotland late afternoon
4:27 pm
or early evening time. now, that heavy burst of rain will then push its way northwards across scotland. the rain then becomes a little bit lighter and patchier for scotland and northern ireland later in the night. maybe with some mist patches developing around coast and hills, should be dry for most of england and wales. for tomorrow, well, we start off with that chance of rain for northern ireland and scotland, although probably turning drier and brighter as the day goes by. it's across england and wales that we'll have the best of the day's sunshine and these southerly winds will be dragging in some much hotter air. temperatures could hit 29 degrees celsius. so getting into the mid 805 in fahrenheit towards south—east england, probably about 26 for eastern wales and into the low 205 for the central belt of scotland. for saturday, it stays on the warm side, but this area of low pressure will bring the threat of showers and thunderstorms. initially, we'll see a band of rain working into the west, but then a plume of moisture gets pulled in from europe, and that will probably take over as been the driving force of seeing heavy thundery showers. the showers are always going to be a bit hit and miss in nature, but some of them could
4:28 pm
be quite torrential. we're looking at highs into the upper 205, the hottest weather across eastern areas. now, for sunday, it's still quite warm, but it's another day of sunny spells and heavy showers. potentially some of those showers could merge together to give some really long spells of rain. could be really torrential as well. but there's some uncertainty about exactly where those heavier downpours are likely to be on sunday. bye for now.
4:30 pm
sentencing will be tomorrow at tpm. you're watching bbc news. an eight—year—old girl dies and 15 people are injured after a car crashes into a primary school building in south london. it is very difficult time for everyone here at the school and across wider community. a 23—year old man has been found guilty of murdering elle edwards
