of mentioning russia. a few hours ago, that was a huge police presence here as the manhunt for daniel khalife reached its fourth day, but then at 1.00 in the morning, a breakthrough for police —— at morning, a breakthrough for police -- at 11.00 morning, a breakthrough for police —— at 11.00 in the morning. we are still trying to piece together exactly what happened after that manhunt which involved a huge number of police officers, roads, boats, airports being monitored, police all over the country were trying to find daniel khalife. the 21—year—old former soldier. daniel khalife. the 21—year—old formersoldier. officers daniel khalife. the 21—year—old former soldier. officers say he was eventually detained in west london at an address in northolt, not too

farfrom where i am. also not at an address in northolt, not too far from where i am. also not too far from where i am. also not too far from where i am. also not too far from wandsworth prison where he had been held on suspicion of terror activities. he had escaped earlier in the week, prompting a huge manhunt. we have been working in the prison kitchen and had managed to get to the bottom of a food van which was the facility wandsworth prison, which is how he made his escape. police say he is now back in detention in west london. he has now been arrested. my colleague looks back at the day's events. members of the public had been in touch with police overnight, having seen daniel khalife in the chiswick error. police conducted what the described as intensive searches here. they included officers stopping and searching vehicles, inspecting car boots, and asking local residents
4:33 pm
for identification. the force thank the public for their support throughout the investigation. from the 620 meeting in india, the prime minister echoed that sentiment. it is good news that we have recaptured the person concerned. as people already know, thejustice secretary has we an inquiry into the circumstances of his escape, which will continue, but that of others are very welcome news, my thanks to the police and the public.— the police and the public. daniel khalife was _ the police and the public. daniel khalife was on _ the police and the public. daniel khalife was on remand - the police and the public. daniel khalife was on remand at - the police and the public. daniel khalife was on remand at wandsworth prison pending a trial for terror offences due to start in november. he denies the charges. much of the investigation focused on daniel khalife's daring escape from the kitchen at wandsworth prison, hiding under the delivery van. it is thought he travelled strapped underneath the van until thrown out a mile or so later. it was there he was first spotted. police had offered a reward of up to £20,000 for information that led to his arrest. we heard in that report
4:34 pm
there from the prime minister at rishi sunak. we have also heard from the justice secretary, rishi sunak. we have also heard from thejustice secretary, who said that daniel khalife is now in custody and the legal process must be allowed to take its course. nothing should be said or done to prejudice any future trial. the investigation i requested and to present security and categorisation are well in training, and i will leave no stone unturned in getting to the bottom of how this serious breach was possible. we also heard from the labour party on this, saying that daniel khalifa's detention after that manhunt was welcome news, but they said they needed to get answers on how a prisoner charged with terror and national security offences could have escaped in this manner. —— daniel khalife's detention. to discuss some of these issues more, i am joined by david tucker, a retired senior crown prosecutor. i should
4:35 pm
apologise for the noise, we are of course by the side of a busy road. thank you forjoining us, mr tucker. we heard there from thejustice secretary, one of the concerns is of course to ensure that daniel khalife does still get a fair trial now that he has been found.— does still get a fair trial now that he has been found. absolutely, we must remember _ he has been found. absolutely, we must remember that _ he has been found. absolutely, we must remember that until - he has been found. absolutely, we l must remember that until somebody he has been found. absolutely, we - must remember that until somebody is convicted in court, they are deemed innocent. and in this case, somebody has escaped from prison, that is a separate offence which can be charged with an offence of escape, it is a very old established offence, contrary to common law, people have been escaping from prisons for many centuries, that is important for the administration of justice that somebody can be produced in court, legal it is important that of somebody is convicted and serving a sentence that they actually do serve that
4:36 pm
sentence and undergo the punishment that they have been sentenced to. and tell me about what you make, as a crown prosecutor, of the fact that mr khalife was able to escape. there are many questions that people want answered, and i referred to the comments from the labour partyjust then as well, they are among the many people saying how inadequate this happen?— this happen? yes, and if a person is charued this happen? yes, and if a person is charged with — this happen? yes, and if a person is charged with and _ this happen? yes, and if a person is charged with and convicted - this happen? yes, and if a person is charged with and convicted of- this happen? yes, and if a person is charged with and convicted of an - charged with and convicted of an escape, then that is the very sort of question that the court wants to ask, because, as with all offences, the court has got to decide how serious the offence is. so they will say, how successful was the escape? did somebody get away for 15 minutes or ten years? did did somebody get away for 15 minutes orten years? did it did somebody get away for 15 minutes or ten years? did it the way it trial? did it avoid someone being punished for an offence they have
4:37 pm
been sentenced for? and the other important consideration that a court will always want to take into account, is, was there planning? was this a chance walking out of prison, somebody who made a mistake, let the wrong person go? was it a spur of the moment thing? or was it highly planned? was the equipment, help from inside or outside the prison? all of those factors go into deciding the severity of the offence, quite separate from the question of how many people were suddenly involved in trying to capture a particular escaped prisoner, and how many people were inconvenienced at airports and things like that. {lin inconvenienced at airports and things like that.— things like that. on the other auestion things like that. on the other question i — things like that. on the other question i think _ things like that. on the other question i think many - things like that. on the other question i think many people| question i think many people will want to know is, now we know that daniel khalife was able to escape, will he go to another facility? and will he go to another facility? and

will the categorisation of where he stays change as well?— will the categorisation of where he stays change as well? well, that is a decision for— stays change as well? well, that is a decision for the _ stays change as well? well, that is a decision for the prison _ stays change as well? well, that is a decision for the prison service, . a decision for the prison service, but in a lot of eyebrows have been raised when we hear that someone charged with a serious offence, terrorism is a serious offence, it threatens the security of the nation, and when someone is charged with an offence like that and manages to escape, if someone in that situation were to be returned to a category b prison, i think eyebrows would again be flying up in the air. ~ ., eyebrows would again be flying up in the air. ~ . ., i. eyebrows would again be flying up in the air. ~ . ., ,, ~' eyebrows would again be flying up in the air. ~ . ., i. ~ , ., the air. what do you think needs to be looked at _ the air. what do you think needs to be looked at in _ the air. what do you think needs to be looked at in this _ the air. what do you think needs to be looked at in this investigation i be looked at in this investigation but the justice secretary has be looked at in this investigation but thejustice secretary has said will be conducted into what is that we happened at wandsworth? we hear an awful lot about _ we happened at wandsworth? we hear an awful lot about the _ we happened at wandsworth? we hear an awful lot about the neglect -

we happened at wandsworth? we hear an awful lot about the neglect of - an awful lot about the neglect of the prison estate, the sad state of morale among prison officers, who have a difficultjob to do, and we have a difficultjob to do, and we have a difficultjob to do, and we have a very overcrowded prisons because we have a high level of employment, but i don't know whether the inquiry it will be broad enough to look into the wider issues of how prisons are able to cope with prisoners, because if you have a present that is under extreme pressure, then this is obvious that the risk of something going awry, a serious offender, either before or after sentencing, serious offender, either before or aftersentencing, being serious offender, either before or after sentencing, being able to escape, is increase. mr tucker, thank you _ escape, is increase. mr tucker, thank you very _ escape, is increase. mr tucker, thank you very much _ escape, is increase. mr tucker, thank you very much for - escape, is increase. mr tucker,| thank you very much for sharing escape, is increase. mr tucker, - thank you very much for sharing your insights with me here on bbc news. a
