3:01 pm
welcome to verified live, three hours of breaking stories and checking out the truth behind them. we are going to start here in the uk, and get the latest on that escaped terror suspect. the question being asked now is, was he helped from potentially people within the prison? that was one of the questions asked by the head of london's metropolitan police, sir mark rowleyjust london's metropolitan police, sir mark rowley just a few london's metropolitan police, sir mark rowleyjust a few hours ago. you will remember that the man managed to escape, it seemed, strapped to the underside of a van. we have pictures of the moment but police found the van, but not the man strapped underneath it. he is still at large. richmond park in london one of the latest search areas, and you can get all the latest developments from our reporter. 2500 acres.
3:02 pm
it is london's largest royal park and this morning police confirmed richmond park was a place of interest, on day three a manhunt. residents told me it had been a noisy night, as helicopters and officers searched the area. some 150 counter terrorism command officers have been deployed. all trying to locate former soldier daniel khalife. still on the run after escaping prison on wednesday. today the metropolitan police commissioner said the force is exploring if prison staff aided his escape. just to work out a prison escape and how you can do it, the logistics and how the logistics and how you will do it is unlikely something you do on the spur—of—the—moment. did anyone in the prison help him, other prisoner, guard staff, was he helped by people outside the walls or was it simply all of his own creation. on wednesday morning he had been working in the kitchen, 50 metres
3:03 pm
from the nearest gate. at 7:32, a food truck drove out of the prison and through that gate. it will have passed through the airlock where it should have stopped for a security check. soon afterwards, it became clear that khalife was missing. the prison went into lockdown, when there was no sign of him the police were called. they stopped and searched the truck and found strapping underneath which he is thought to have used to hold him underneath it. but there was no sign of him. the images of the truck show the large space underneath the cargo section and this is the journey that the vehicle took along south—west london, before being stopped at 8:37. khalife must have escaped somewhere on this route. chrisjones worked in the prison kitchen with khalife. he was definitely vain, and he knew that this case was going to make him famous. i think it is not really a massive shock that he got out, really.
3:04 pm
because you know, the prison was constantly understaffed, which i know from first hand experience. the 21—year—old joined the army in 2019 but then injanuary, disappeared after an alleged bomb hoax. arrested later that month, he was due in court in november, facing charges which include preparing an act of terrorism and collecting information useful to an enemy. leading to questions about why he was held in a lower security prison. for iran and also terrorism offences, was able to work in a cat two prison in the kitchen, where he had access to naives is where he had access to knives is mind—boggling. as the search continues additional checks are being performed at ports as police say they haven't ruled out the possibility he has or planned to leave the country, although the
3:05 pm
latest from police is there have not been any confirmed sightings. were going to explore this idea about whether he was being held in the right kind of prison. jonathan hall casey is the independent reviewer of terrorism legislation. do you think he was on the right prison? do you think he was on the right rison? ., ., �* �* ., ., prison? no, i don't. i'm going to refer -- differ — prison? no, i don't. i'm going to refer -- differ what _ prison? no, i don't. i'm going to refer -- differ what comes - prison? no, i don't. i'm going to refer -- differ what comes out . prison? no, i don't. i'm going to| refer -- differ what comes out of refer —— differ what comes out of the investigations, but if you think what he was actually charged with, he wasn't actually charged with terrorism at all, he was charged with this quite obscure offence of collecting information about military personnel, and injuly this year he was charged under the official secrets act of aiding the 0fficial secrets act of aiding the enemy. it is really an espionage case rather than a terror case, and knowing what you know about the charges he faces, and knowing about the hostile state in question apparently being iran, who obviously have a lot of capability, you might have a lot of capability, you might have thought that a category be
3:06 pm
prison, which appears to be understaffed, is not the right place for them to be held. quite like what about this idea of him working in the kitchen, which has raised eyebrows as well? you have to think about what is the risk of something like this. from what the police are saying, it doesn't appear that he is a risk to life and limb. if you're looking at a terrorist, you will always ask yourself, is that person would stab someone or blow someone up would stab someone or blow someone up was mike if that is your assessment, you might think about should he be in a kitchen with knives, how many guard should they be on him, etc. we are talking about someone who is charged with espionage, who might have had contact with quite capable hostile state. the question is not, are you going to kill someone or injure a prisoner or a guard, the real question is, how difficult should we make it to escape until someone is charged —— for someone who is
3:07 pm
charged —— for someone who is charged with a crime against the state? you want to make escape impossible. as i understand it, the way of categorising people, if they are someone for whom escape should be impossible, then you put them in category a. we be impossible, then you put them in catero a. ~ , ., category a. we should make it absolutely _ category a. we should make it absolutely clear, _ category a. we should make it absolutely clear, he _ category a. we should make it absolutely clear, he is - category a. we should make it absolutely clear, he is not - category a. we should make it i absolutely clear, he is not guilty of anything, this is pre—trial, he has been charged, but he is innocent, does that make any difference to decision—making, or should it, the fact that he was being held pre—trial, rather than being held pre—trial, rather than being held pre—trial, rather than being held after being found guilty? no. escape risk is escape risk, and which could be before conviction or after conviction. there are differences in the regime, so in terms of the clothes you can wear, we have more access to the outside world, that is all right. as you say, at that stage, they are simply unconvicted. they are not guilty at
3:08 pm
all. ., ., unconvicted. they are not guilty at all. ., . y., ., all. you have said you will defer to the investigation _ all. you have said you will defer to the investigation and _ all. you have said you will defer to the investigation and whatever - all. you have said you will defer to the investigation and whatever the reviews find, but what are the kind of things they will be looking at? where, if there is found to be a situation along your logic where he should have been in category a, escape should have been impossible, what are the decision—making pinch points that you think could be up for change here? if i points that you think could be up for change here?— points that you think could be up for change here? if i was doing that sort of review. _ for change here? if i was doing that sort of review, i _ for change here? if i was doing that sort of review, i would _ for change here? if i was doing that sort of review, i would look- for change here? if i was doing that sort of review, i would look at - for change here? if i was doing that sort of review, i would look at what| sort of review, i would look at what is the universal intelligence about this individual? has that evidence and intelligence, so, what he is believed to be capable of, who has he been allegedly conspiring with, has not been sufficiently communicated to the authorities who decide in which prison he should be held? the basic question would be, when he was charged under the
3:09 pm
official secrets act 1911 injuly, 0fficial secrets act 1911 injuly, having previously been charged under the terrorism act in this quite obscure section, was that change in charge communicated to the prison authorities? have the reflected that in the decision—making? authorities? have the reflected that in the decision-making? fascinating, thank ou in the decision-making? fascinating, thank you for— in the decision-making? fascinating, thank you for coming _ in the decision-making? fascinating, thank you for coming on _ in the decision-making? fascinating, thank you for coming on the - thank you for coming on the programme and explaining that to us. we are going to head to the 620 now, which has been taking place in india. lots of world leaders have been arriving, the latestjoe biden in the us, touching down in the last hour or so. this is in the last half hour or so. this is in the last half hour or so. this is in the last half hour or so, joe biden getting off the plane to be met by dignitaries. 620 of course is the big summit, the big meeting of the world's economies, plus the eu. 0ne news line already before get started is the african union, there at the invitation of the 620, but there are no questions being asked as to why it is not a full member, and that
3:10 pm
could potentially happen. the african unionjoining the 620. once you get stuck into, the summit itself is on saturday and sunday, thatis itself is on saturday and sunday, that is why the world leaders are arriving now. our correspondent is there. hello. hi. arriving now. our correspondent is there- hello-— arriving now. our correspondent is there. hello.- has - arriving now. our correspondent is there. hello.- has been i there. hello. hi. what has been happening? _ there. hello. hi. what has been happening? there _ there. hello. hi. what has been happening? there is _ there. hello. hi. what has been happening? there is a - there. hello. hi. what has been happening? there is a bit - there. hello. hi. what has been happening? there is a bit of- there. hello. hi. what has been happening? there is a bit of a i there. hello. hi. what has been - happening? there is a bit of a delay in the line, are we expecting world leaders, and what should we expect from tomorrow?— from tomorrow? there is certainly auoin to from tomorrow? there is certainly going to be _ from tomorrow? there is certainly going to be more _ from tomorrow? there is certainly going to be more world _ from tomorrow? there is certainly going to be more world leaders i going to be more world leaders arriving here stop you mentioned, the us president has already made his way here. i believe that canadian prime minsterjustin trudeau should also be arriving will stop we are going to see world leaders arriving today. emanuel macron from france will be arriving
3:11 pm
tomorrow. the arrivals really kicked off with uk prime minister rishi sunak. prime minister rishi sunak landed in india, he was greeted by indian dignitary, and dancers. but the colourful arrival won't mask the thorny issues at play. mr sunak reiterated his commitment to supporting the most vulnerable, but also made it clear the uk will support ukraine. one of the priorities i have being here is to highlight the impact of russia's war on millions of vulnerable people around the world, and that is the impact of food prices. recently russia has pulled out of something called the black sea grain initiative which allowed wheat and other food to leave ukraine. ukraine produces an enormous amount of the world's food. it goes to dozens of the world's most vulnerable countries. despite india's best efforts
3:12 pm
to frame the 620 conversations round issues that affect the global south, russia's invasion remain front and centre. earlier the us treasury secretary, who is also in delhi, said america will continue with financial support. we remained committed to support for ukraine and put forward a supplemental funding request. there has been bipartisan support for this funding to date and it is critical we continue to provide timely economic assistance. the west is pushing ukraine as an issue, putting this year's host of the global summit in a challenging position. india buys weapons and oilfrom russia, but is also becoming more aligned with the us. will ukraine delay the talks? issues of conflict and war have an impact on growth and development, so food, fuel and fertiliser get impacted. that issue has been discussed
3:13 pm
at great length, and we will talk about it once the leaders' summit is over. but meticulous planning may not be enough to get world leaders to agree. divisions over russia's war in ukraine may derail progress on issues india wants to focus on. so clearly there's a lot riding on this 620, especially for the president of the 620 right now, which is india. i think there are a lot of issues we should talk about. i would like to bring in my guest, the diplomatic editor for the can do. thank you forjoining us. i think we should really start with india, and how much is at stake for the country? irefill india, and how much is at stake for the country?— the country? will certainly for india and for— the country? will certainly for india and for the _ the country? will certainly for india and for the prime - the country? will certainly for i india and for the prime minister, narendra modi, his government, this is a chance to showcase india's
3:14 pm
strengths, its position in the international economic architecture, as well as a certain position it has built over the decades of being a sort of balancing power to stop so, although it goes by rotation, this is the 18th 620 summit that india is now hosting, but prime minister narendra modi is now making the point that india is putting itself as the voice of the global south, also dealing with the global north, coming from the east, dealing with the west, and the real proof the pudding will be if there a joint statement that it is able to build consensus on the contentious ukraine issue. i consensus on the contentious ukraine issue. . . , consensus on the contentious ukraine issue. . ., , ., ., consensus on the contentious ukraine issue. . ., , ., issue. i certainly want to come back to a consensus _ issue. i certainly want to come back to a consensus issue, _ issue. i certainly want to come back to a consensus issue, but _ issue. i certainly want to come back to a consensus issue, but i - issue. i certainly want to come back to a consensus issue, but i do - issue. i certainly want to come back to a consensus issue, but i do want| to a consensus issue, but i do want to a consensus issue, but i do want to talk about ukraine and whether the talks will end up derailing? this has been the issue from the very beginning of india's presidency. last year in bali, china and russia agreed to come together
3:15 pm
to a consensus document that had two paragraphs about ukraine issue. that actually spoke about the russian invasion of ukraine, talks about the un position. this year, neither country has agreed. china has said, enough is enough, no more geopolitical issues on this economic form. russia has said, we are not taking criticism of russia unless you also have criticism of the west for the sanctions they have brought about, which had an economic impact in the world. which is an issue that has held up every 620 ministerial statement so far. no 620 ministerial grouping has been able to issue one. if the two sides are able to come together, you could say they didn't derail the outcome, but otherwise what you will see is a chairman's summary, and remember, every 620 summit so far has had thatjoint declaration. in does not want to
3:16 pm
have the ignoble first of that. hour have the ignoble first of that. how much of the _ have the ignoble first of that. how much of the 620 _ have the ignoble first of that. how much of the 620 presidency is riding on that, and how much is riding on india's prime minister? it is on that, and how much is riding on india's prime minister?— india's prime minister? it is up to the leaders- _ india's prime minister? it is up to the leaders. the _ india's prime minister? it is up to the leaders. the sherpas - india's prime minister? it is up to the leaders. the sherpas will - india's prime minister? it is up to i the leaders. the sherpas will finish the leaders. the sherpas will finish thejob, put the leaders. the sherpas will finish the job, put together whatever draft declarations tonight. tomorrow, it is in the hands of the leaders, whether they are able to forge some kind of agreement. what india is done is hedge its bet a bit, it is said this is not our focus, done is hedge its bet a bit, it is said this is not ourfocus, ukraine is not our creation or our focus, instead we're looking at the global south, a membership of the african union, which may come through, we are looking at hearing the voice of the global south in development issues, and there are also hoping to see some kind of movement when it comes to india's own concerns on climate change, debt financing, climate change, debt financing, climate vulnerabilities, a fossil fuel phase down versus phase up, all of those issues as well. for the
3:17 pm
moment, they are trying to downplay the ukraine issue, but it would be unprecedented if the 620 comes together on sunday without a joint declaration. together on sunday without a “oint declaration. ~ . together on sunday without a “oint declaration.— together on sunday without a “oint declaration. ~ ., ~ .,~ , , declaration. what i think makes this difficult as you _ declaration. what i think makes this difficult as you have _ declaration. what i think makes this difficult as you have the _ declaration. what i think makes this difficult as you have the statements | difficult as you have the statements coming from the united kingdom, and statements coming from the us, basically saying that ukraine needs to be present on that. do you think india has done enough to be able to hedge their bets, as you say? certainly we will not know until we know what the outcome is. if the outcome is positive, you can say india has done everything i possibly could. i think in the indonesian presidency, we did see their president, who has now landed in delhi as well, actually take an extra step, flying to kyiv and moscow, inviting president zelensky of ukraine to address 620 members. india has done none of those. instead it says that we are really trying to put this in a box, and deal with the box that is about the developing world, growth and economic issues. whether that works

3:26 pm
hello. the weather is set to change over the next few days, but in the short term, our september heatwave goes on. some of the clearest of the skies today are in the north of scotland. some spots further south have got a little bit more cloud in the mix, mostly fairly high cloud, but it is turning the sunshine hazy, suppressing temperatures a little in some locations. still, though, seeing highs of 31 in the southeast, but 28 or 29 in parts of the highlands. we could just see the odd sharp shower here late in the day, also for northern ireland. and then through tonight, some showers and thunderstorms could affect south west england and parts of west wales. elsewhere, some patches of cloud a little bit, mist and murk around some clear spells, too, on what will be another very warm night, 13 to 18 degrees as the overnight lows. now for tomorrow, we willjust see a few more showers in the mix,
3:27 pm
particularly across western and northern parts. in fact, we've got a frontal system that will be trying to push its way in towards the far north west of scotland. further south and east, some spells of hot sunshine. this could actually be the hottest day of all, 33 degrees possible in london, a little bit cooler and fresher, though, further north and west. now, with that heat across parts of england and wales through the late afternoon, we could well see some sharp showers and thunderstorms popping up. they will be quite isolated, quite well scattered. but if you do catch one, it could give you a lot of rain in a short space of time. and then actually overnight on saturday night, we willjust see a few more showers and thunderstorms developing. and it is possible that for sunday morning, for the great north run, we could see a few heavy showers, maybe the odd thunderstorm, some sunny spells, too. and perhaps one piece of good news, not quite as warm as it has been, because we will see more showers and some thunderstorms affecting many parts of the uk during the day on sunday. the driest and brightest weather likely to be towards south eastern parts of england where temperatures again could get to 30 degrees, but further north and west, 21 for belfast, 22 in glasgow. and that is a sign of things to come because into next week we will see
3:28 pm
something markedly cooler working down from the north, see these yellow and even blue colours pushing across the charts, temperatures back much closer to where they should be at this time of the year. there will be some rain at times and the nights will also be significantly chillier.
