leaving fake bombs at a military base while serving in the army. the border force, port and airport is on high alert. graham satchell has our top story. it looked like business as usual at once with today, prison vans coming and going, but the child is at the centre of a growing storm with serious questions about how a terror suspect managed to escape —— but the jail. daniel khalife broke out strapping himself to the underside of a food delivery van. in the house of a food delivery van. in the house of commons thejustice secretary announced a series of reviews to answer some basic questions. who announced a series of reviews to answer some basic questions. who was on du that answer some basic questions. who was on duty that morning? _ answer some basic questions. who was on duty that morning? in _ answer some basic questions. who was on duty that morning? in what - answer some basic questions. who was on duty that morning? in what roles? l on duty that morning? in what roles? ranging from the kitchen to the prison gate. what protocols were in place? were they followed? more questions, why was a terror suspect at a category b prison? what checks were their own vehicles coming in and out? ., ., , . ., ., and out? you would expect a mirror

probably reaching out to families and friends and scanning cctv not just near the prison but the surrounding area to find out how a prisoner dressed in red and white checked trousers, serving in the kitchen at the time, would have changed clothes, and the big question detectives will be asking is whether he was helped by someone on the outside which would have helped his getaway be speedier and more effective or alone. at the moment the police are asking for the public�*s help and appealing for them to call 999 if they see anything. thank you. in the last hour nottinghamshire police say they will be investigating maternity failings at nottingham university hospitals nhs trust. michael beer cunning as there. fill us in on the story —— michael buchanan. this is a development that has been broadly welcomed by many families who have been failed by the trust. in a statement — been failed by the trust. in a statement a _

nottage nottingham university hospitals trust, they say they will cooperate fully with the investigation. thank you. a deal has been struck for the uk tojoin thank you. a deal has been struck for the uk to join the european union's k horizon programme. british—based scientists were missing out on grants for work post—brexit from an £80 billion fund. the first picture of a black hole, and plants that help the paralysed walk again, mapping the human brain, these arejust some walk again, mapping the human brain, these are just some of the projects funded by europe's horizon programme. the uk should have been part of it after brexit but disagreements with the eu meant britain was frozen out and falling behind other eu countries. we will transform these _ behind other eu countries. we will transform these ideas... _ behind other eu countries. we will transform these ideas... finally, l transform these ideas... finally, after years _ transform these ideas... finally, after years of — transform these ideas... finally, after years of delay, _ transform these ideas... finally, after years of delay, we - transform these ideas... finally, after years of delay, we are - transform these ideas... finally, | after years of delay, we are back. this is really the best of news. i

best scientists will give a newer�*s top grants but they were not able to take them up so 41 left the country. the treasury allocated £1.6 billion for horizon and it was supposed to be spent on science but the treasury took the money back. in 2019 when there was still part of the programme, the eu gave scientists £820 million. this year it was just 19 million. the government has made up 19 million. the government has made up a large portion of that but experts say it was still tens if not hundreds of millions of pounds short. but this is in the context of a huge multi—billion pound increase in research spending by the government. now k horizon has finally been sorted out, it is hoped researchers can continue with their science. in the head. network rail has admitted serious

and we have confirmed in 27 sites across england although seven have now removed the raac. it ranges from large hospitals to smaller clinics. the raac ranges from across the site ten may be just the raac ranges from across the site ten may bejust in a cupboard or disused office. the question most people at home want to know, are the building safe? there has been a plan for this and there has been since 2019. some people might have seen props holding up parts of the local hospital. elsewhere there has been regular inspections. today there has been an acknowledgement that those measures cannot totally eradicate the risks. for measures cannot totally eradicate the risks. ., ., , , ~ measures cannot totally eradicate the risks. ., ., ,, ,, ~ ~ the risks. for an issue like raac, it is widely _ the risks. for an issue like raac, it is widely documented - the risks. for an issue like raac, it is widely documented that you | it is widely documented that you can never— it is widely documented that you can never be _ it is widely documented that you can never be 100% certain but in terms of the _ never be 100% certain but in terms of the levels of risk we are following the appropriate specialist advice _ following the appropriate specialist advice and guidance and acting accordingly. the advice and guidance and acting accordingly-— advice and guidance and acting

was a subsequent standards committee report that found chris pincher had groped two men in a london club in what it described as an abuse of power. it sets up another by—election. we think it will be rishi sunak�*s ninth since he moved to downing street and probably not a prospect he will be welcoming. the tories of course are heavily trailing labour in the national polls. they will be defending the sort in the seat of mid—bedfordshire. there is pressure on the labour party, they would have to overturn big majorities in both constituencies to win them. important to say bye elections are unique beasts but inevitably the conquest will be seen through the prism of next year's likely general election. jess parker at westminster, thank you. the government orders urgent reviews after a jailbreak by terror suspect daniel khalife at wandsworth prison for stop the manhunt continues. prison for stop the manhunt continues-—

rounds are extremely effective weapons and could add to the sense of momentum that is gradually building up the moment. as for russiaobjectives, they have come from a country that have broken pretty much every rule of war in the last 18 months and which is almost certainly using depleted uranium rounds itself, so i think we can discount that. —— as for russia's objections. discount that. -- as for russia's objections-— objections. paul adams in kyiv, thank yod _ objections. paul adams in kyiv, thank you. for— objections. paul adams in kyiv, thank you. for more _ objections. paul adams in kyiv, thank you. for more than i objections. paul adams in kyiv, thank you. for more than a i objections. pauladams in kyiv, i thank you. for more than a decade the people of yemen, one of the world wasn't poorest countries have lived through a civil war with saudi arabia and iran battling for influence. orla guerin has reported extensively from yemen and two years ago in one city met an inspirational nine—year—old boy who refused to let the destruction of his school mean the destruction of his school mean the end of his education. she has been back to see how he is getting on. smiling through, this is

aquamate. he is 11 years old and he doesn't let much his way. he is heading to the river to get water, a daily ritual. lie. here, even before the war, but ahmed is a fighter. he has been blind since birth, along with four of his siblings. we have come back to meet him at his home neara come back to meet him at his home near a front line. it's very scary, he tells me. we are afraid of gunshots. when fighting starts we can't go to the park or the valley or anywhere. when was the last time you heard fighting and explosions? last night, he says. for ahmed school has always been a refuge of

sorts. this was our first glimpse of him injanuary 2021, leading morning assembly at this primary school. it was bombed by the saudi led coalition when it was occupied by houthi forces. ahmed was leading the class at just houthi forces. ahmed was leading the class atjust nine years old. he had a wish list of repairs for the school and viewers responded. thanks to him. so this is the new school? much has changed. a yemeni donor funded a new block and a british charity refurbished classrooms. saudi arabia, after years of bombing yemen, is building another school nearby. ahmed is pleased with the results and has plenty of big plans. i want to be a teacher, pilot,
