and coming up on bbc news, arsenal look to come back from their weekend defeat as their champions league campaign continues this evening. they are one of two british sides in action. good afternoon, and welcome to the bbc news at one. a judge at the old bailey has ruled new details in the case of chris kaba — shot dead by a police marksman when he tried to drive away after his car was pulled over for a traffic stop — can now be made public. yesterday, metropolitan police firearms officer martyn blake was cleared of murdering him. it can now be revealed that kaba was suspected of being involved in a nightclub shooting days before he was killed, and had a history of criminal convictions. our uk correspondent adina campbell is at the old bailey for us now. adina, why has this come out now?

well, up until today, the media has been prevented from reporting details about chris kaba's past until the jury reached their verdict in the trial involving martyn blake. yesterday, martyn blake was cleared of murdering chris kaba. what we now can tell you today is that chris kaba had a history of criminal convictions, dating back to his early teens. he had been convicted of possession of a firearm, also possession of an imitation, sorry, session of a knife and of an imitation firearm. he was also a member of a notorious south london gang and the week before he was killed, he was accused of attempted murder. three men who have been sentenced for their involvement in that attack are currently serving jail sentences. the man who was

attacked at a nightclub in east london in hackney did survive the attack but was shot in both legs. it's important to say that the jury did not know any of these details before they could reach their verdict. they were only told that the car chris kaba was driving had been linked to a shooting the previous day in brixton. find been linked to a shooting the previous day in brixton. and what has the reaction _ previous day in brixton. and what has the reaction beam _ previous day in brixton. and what has the reaction beam to - previous day in brixton. and what has the reaction beam to that - has the reaction beam to that verdict yesterday?— verdict yesterday? plenty of reaction in _ verdict yesterday? plenty of reaction in the _ verdict yesterday? plenty of reaction in the last - verdict yesterday? plenty of reaction in the last 24-hour| verdict yesterday? plenty of i reaction in the last 24-hour is. verdict yesterday? plenty of - reaction in the last 24-hour is. the reaction in the last 24—hour is. the metropolitan police has come out in defence of martyn blake and his colleagues on the night chris kaba was killed. there has also been a lot of reaction from the family, also reaction from the government. here is thejustice secretary, shabana mahmood. we do have to think about how we build confidence in the policing community, about their ability to get on with the job that we all need them to do. but also amongst our communities as well, we need to have a model in this country of policing by consent. that's an incredibly important way in which we, the british people,

organise ourselves and keep ourselves safe and it is important that communities can have confidence in that system. but it's also imperative that officers feel like they can do the job that we all ask them to do for us to keep us safe. there was also a vigil held here last night outside the old bailey. around 200 campaign is coming out in solidarity for chris kaba's death, saying they felt they haven't got justice and said that they felt the system had failed them. this has really brought about more about police accountability, particularly from members of the black community.— over 1,000 more prisoners in england and wales are being released early today, as part of a government bid to ease overcrowding. it began last month, with 1,700 inmates being freed from jails. today, around 1,100 more are being released after serving 40% of their custodial sentences. that's because eligibility for early release has now been expanded

to include inmates serving terms of five years or more. the government has also announced a sentencing review, that'll consider tougher non—custodial punishments as alternatives to prison. alison freeman reports. freed early to make room in prisons across england and wales. jazz was one of the 11,000 people being released today. he left hmp ford in west sussex after serving two years for drug offences. it is ford in west sussex after serving two years for drug offences. it is a ositive two years for drug offences. it is a positive move. — two years for drug offences. it is a positive move, everyone - two years for drug offences. it is a positive move, everyone is - two years for drug offences. it is a positive move, everyone is going l positive move, everyone is going home so everyone is happy. pare positive move, everyone is going home so everyone is happy. are you confident you _ home so everyone is happy. are you confident you will _ home so everyone is happy. are you confident you will stay _ home so everyone is happy. are you confident you will stay out? - home so everyone is happy. are you confident you will stay out? i - home so everyone is happy. are you confident you will stay out? i am - confident you will stay out? i am 10096 confident _ confident you will stay out? i am 10096 confident and _ confident you will stay out? i —.n 100% confident and staying out. today, prisoners were eligible for release after serving 40% of their term rather than 50%, as was previously the case. and whilst the government says it will help free up space in prisons to keep the justice system moving, the justice secretary says she knows it will only help in the short term. even with the emergency release,

even allowing for the number of recalls that have to take place, we are still going to run out of prison places. again, we've bought ourselves some time in order to think about some longer term solutions to this crisis. but make no mistake about it, whilst we have some more headroom in our prison system, the situation is still very difficult and that's why we have to come forward with more longer term proposals to try and get that situation back into balance. in september, more than 1,700 prisoners were released early. the government said without these early releases there would have been a total breakdown of law and order, with courts unable to hold trials and police unable to make arrests. none of those set free today will have been convicted of murder, sex crimes or terrorism, but this time, they will include those serving five years or more. and whilst those who work in prisons say more needs to be done to improve conditions and the types of sentences handed down, they also say the relief given by today's releases could be very short lived.

i know because i speak to people on the front line who are dealing with this, our probation colleagues, and they're telling me that in some areas, the recall rate is as high as 50%. but on average, it's 40% recall rate, just as it was with the last wave. what you've got to understand is the reception prisons, the big inner—city victorian prisons that are feeling the pressure, they could be releasing 60 prisoners today and by friday, they'll have 60 prisoners back because the courts will sentence people and some will get recalled. a major review of sentencing is being launched, which will explore measures like scrapping shortjailterms, improving rehabilitation and using technology to create a modern form of house arrest. it's hoped this could help to ease overcrowding in the longer term. alison freeman, bbc news. our chief political correspondent henry zeffman is in westminsterfor us. henry, what is the government hoping to achieve with this sentencing review?

this sentencing review was actually something that the labour party had in their general election manifesto. but clearly it is made much more urgent, much more acute by what this government openly describes as a crisis in our prison system. the sentencing review will be led by david gauke. some people will remember him, he did shabana mahmood'sjob. he was remember him, he did shabana mahmood's job. he was a justice secretary under theresa may. nonetheless, he has expressed some views on this which may align with where the government is headed. he has talked about questioning whether some of the prison sentences of six months or less are ever really worth it. that might tally with some of the ideas that you are hearing better, more home detention. so kind of a modern form of house arrest. the government is also looking at something that happened in texas, where people get credit for good behaviour, rehabilitation programmes and so on. but a lot of this boils down to philosophical questions. does this new government think

prison works and if so, what kinds of prisoners? we will find out in the coming months.— of prisoners? we will find out in the coming months. a man has died and 15 people are being treated for injuries after two trains collided in mid wales. investigations are taking place after two passenger services crashed at low speed in powys, just before 7.30 last night. our wales correspondent hywel griffith has the latest. a crumpled carriage marks where two trains met head—on along a single rail line. daylight has allowed investigators to start working out what went wrong here last night, as the service from shrewsbury to aberystwyth crashed into the train coming in the opposite direction. they were moving at low speed but passengers felt the full force of the impact. somehow, my body bent the leg of a table and ripped it off its bolts attached to the wall. suddenly, i was on the floor, with my laptop strewn ahead of me, wondering what the hell had happened.

the trains were carrying more than a0 passengers. one was killed, 15 others had to be rushed to hospital. ifan couldn't believe what he was witnessing in his village. the whole valley was just glowing with blue lights flashing. a worrying side in such a normally tranquil place? —— a worrying site in such a normally tranquil place? yes, and very soon afterwards then, all the helicopters landing. there was one air ambulance and two coastguard helicopters landed in the field with all the paramedics and all the kits coming out into police vehicles to take them down incident scene. so what went wrong? one of these trains should have stopped at a passing place further up the track so the other could travel through. the investigation will focus on why that didn't happen. we are now in the process of investigating what's happened. this is a multi—agency

investigation. that investigation is ongoing and at this time, i have nothing further to add. eyewitness testimony and data downloaded from the trains may also provide answers. the investigation may take months to complete. well, we know that the investigators are continuing their work at the train site about a quarter of a mile behind me. you may be able to catch a glimpse of the train there. a bird's eye view shows you far better, those two carriages collided head on and nowjoin together. as part of the investigation, they will review the weather conditions yesterday. we know that in some parts of wales, there were warnings about slippery conditions, wet weather, possibly leaves on the track as well at this time of year. so they will need to assess that, and they will need to assess data from the lights at the points. there

have been concerns previously we understand about the workings of the lights in this area, but vital, of course, will be interviewing the two drivers involved. we understand that both were able to leave the trains. one had to be helped by another passenger and was disorientated immediately but the investigators will want to speak to both drivers and their passengers as well as they assess what happened. we expect an update from the british transport police at some point this afternoon, although as i said in the report, the final investigation conclusion may not be published for a few months. thank you. the inquests into the deaths of 62 patients who were all treated by a disgraced breast surgeon have opened today. the court will hear evidence from ian paterson, who was jailed for 20 years after being convicted of multiple counts of wounding in 2017. our health correspondent dominic hughes is outside birmingham and solihull coroner's court for us. dominic, what have we heard this morning?

we have been hearing details in the first of those 62 women, an environmental consultant. her partner told the coroner�* court she was incredibly smart, driven by a strong sense of right and wrong. she was a pianist, love taking and had a great sense of social justice. she was first diagnosed with cancer in 2002. they were referred to see ian paterson, who said he recommended what he described as a cleavage sparing mastectomy. he said it was something he had developed himself but unfortunately, that left some breast tissue behind and her breast cancer returned and she died at the age of 43, in 2008, leaving her partner and a small child. we have also heard from one of mr pattison�*s former colleagues, who said he had never heard this phrase cleavage

sparing mastectomy until it appeared in the media and then there was an investigation. he then learned there was an investigation into ian paterson and his work. he said, up until that point, he had no idea that mr paterson was carrying out those of procedures.— that mr paterson was carrying out those of procedures. dominic, thank ou. the us secretary of state, antony blinken, is meeting with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu to make a fresh push for a ceasefire in gaza. it�*s as health officials in lebanon say an israeli air strike near beirut�*s largest government—run hospital killed at least 13 people. the israeli military said it targeted a hezbollah position nearby. a court has heard that a fake bomb was found in the room of the former british army soldier daniel khalife, months before he was accused of spying for iran and escaping from wandsworth prison. a jury heard how a hoax device made from canisters, wire, and tape was found at beacon barracks after khalife didn�*t respond for duty. he denies all four charges against him. and the final set of official public

finance figures to be released before the budget show that government borrowing rose last month. it was the third—highest september total since records began more than 30 years ago. the difference between spending and tax revenue reached £16.6 billion. water bills are likely to rise by more than first thought over the next five years, as companies insist they need extra cash to cover higher costs and fund more investment. the regulator, ofwat, is in the process of deciding how much more customers can be charged. our business editor simonjackjoins me now. simon, when are we likely to get that final figure? we will not get it until december or possibly january, we will not get it until december or possiblyjanuary, and like you we will not get it until december or possibly january, and like you say we are in the middle of a haggling process where the companies say this is how much i need to raise bills by over the next five years if you want me to do the stuff you want me to fix, while at the same time making a

return for shareholders. ofwat has given a provisional response, bills will rise £19 per year on average over the next five years, giving a total rise of over 21% compared to now, but there is a massive range depending on where you live. southern water have been allowed a 44% rise, £37 per year, whereas northumbrian has only been approved 9p per year or 11% over five years. the company say we need more money than you are allowing otherwise we cannot fix stuff and half of that is stuff we are required to do by law by the environment agency, so the messages come what may, bills will rise by more than indicated back in july ijy rise by more than indicated back in july by ofwat. obviously lots of angen july by ofwat. obviously lots of anger, people look at a failing water and sewage system, we see the rivers and waterways, and this will

be... that is why tomorrow a major commission will be announced by the government saying we need a root and branch overhaul, there could be big regulatory change it, it will not come in time for this bill settlement but it will possibly mean higher bills because the government has ruled out in no unspecific terms any rationalisation. the time is 13:17. our top story this afternoon.... it can now be reported that chris kaba — who was shot dead at the wheel of his car by a police marksman — was a member of one of london�*s most dangerous gangs. and king charles reviews australia�*s fleet, and ends his royal visit with a trip to sydney�*s famous opera house. coming up on bbc news: england�*s men�*s test side has named three front line spinners for the series decider against pakistan in rawalpindi. the decision comes amid continued speculation over the surface for thursday�*s third test.
