suggest this was planned and orchestrated a there may have been some collusion. ♪ host: hello. in the u.k. we have new pictures of the search for the terror suspects who as gabe from prison . still no sighting of the man himself. this is the man being searched for. we will explain in a moment. also world leaders will start heading to india for the g20 summit this weekend. we will see what they will be talking about and how india will present itself on the world stage. in china exports are down again. we will look at what that means for the rest of the world. ♪ host: hello and welcome to the program. we start in the u.k. and the latest on the terror suspect on

the run. daniel escaped from prison yesterday morning strapped to the bottom of a delivery van. these are new pictures. let's take a look at them. this is the moment that police searched the van a few miles from the prison he has gaped from. it is understood that it was at this point that the police found straps under the white livery van. you can see them there. leading them to believe that that is how he has gaped, strapping himself under the van as it drove out of prison. this was a little bit earlier. look at the top left. that is believed to be the van caught on cctv moving across the road just out of shots. also this picture is a bit clearer. this was given out by the metropolitan police. we should stress they are not

suggesting any involvement. but that is a picture they released of a potential vehicle that he has gaped in. tonight police say he has not been seen for some time but they have more details on how he got out. we have more from our home affairs correspondent. reporter: the prison this afternoon the day after the infamous escape. and a clear view of the kitchen block and the short route to freedom that daniel took yesterday while strapped to the underside of a food delivery truck. he was in the president -- he was in the prison while awaiting for charges related to spying for around -- for iran. yesterday morning daniel was working in the kitchen at the prison. this is around 50 meters from the nearest gate. at 7:50 two a food truck drove

out of the prison through that gate. it would've passed through the airlock where it should have been stopped for a security check. soon after it became clear that he was missing. the prison went into lockdown and when there was no sign of him the police were called. the police stopped and searched the truck and found strapping underneath which it is not he used the hold himself under the vehicle but there was no sign of him. this is the kind of truck he was hanging under as made his escape. and journey the vehicle took across southwest blundered -- blundered -- london. he must've escaped somewhere along this route. >> daniel was trained by the u.k. military and he will be a resourceful individual. that is important for us to remember is we try to find him. reporter: as the police continue their manhunt the justice secretary launched an independent inquiry. >> no stone must be left

unturned and getting to the bottom. who was on duty when this happened? in what roles? ranging from the kitchen to the gate? what protocols were bought --what protocols were involved? reporter: fundamental concerns have been raised about the security culture in the prison. some are kept inside the prison to protect the public and to makeure they don't run away but lacks checks seemed to allowed daniel to do just that. there is no doubt something went catastrophically wrong in the checks on the truck before he was allowed to leave. but officials say individual officers should not be blamed in a jail that is woefully short of staff. >> one of the things we are looking at is how the prison has been left depleted of staff. it does not focus on pointing a

finger at a prison officer. reporter: a year ago he was still working in this barracks at stafford chert, the base of some of the uk's high-tech forces. police today described him as a resourceful individual who showed some ingenuity in his escape and tonight he is still on the run. host: let's hear now from a former inspector of prisons. he tells us whether he thinks he should have been kept in a higher security prison. >> i was governor of belle marsh and responsible for a lot of category a terrorist prisoners. that is where he should have been. he should have been there as a category a or b. he was charged with serious offenses. the maximum term would've been

seven years. bell marsh is particularly managed and designed to deal with people that pose the greatest risk to the public. that needs to be examined and questions need to be asked. also asking why he was working in the kitchen. prisoners don't often manage to get work. they don't tend to get much in the way of employment. there is little in the way of employment at many prisons and there is insufficient activity working in the kitchen is a plum job. one of the most sought after jobs in the system because you have freedom of movement, you have access to food and you have got a lot of autonomy. host: interesting questions. we will speak now to a former

chief of northumbria and she led the manhunt in 2010 for a previous individual. thank you for coming on the program. you have experience in these kinds of searches. we are a day and a half on, what will be happening right now? >> certainly the prime aim is to find the suspect and to make sure he is returned to prison. the police, ultra politician and counter to -- metropolitan and terrorism units will be checking to see if they can find this man. they will be using every tactic they have available to them. they will be using as much intelligence as they can get a hold of and the aim will be to track him and find him and put him back into the prison system. the issue of course and the

difference from the mote, -- from mote, was that this gentleman has been in prison and arranged an escape. the big point is was it a spontaneous escape meaning he just seized the opportunity provided to him. it does not seem likely if he had to have straps available to him as well. or was there an element of organization. and if there was an element of organization, then what support does he have on the outside? host: let's make that presumption and to be clear it is just a presumption. let's presume for the moment that he has had some help, how concerned are you that it is a day and a half already with help? is that a worrying amount of

time that has passed? >> mote was on the run for seven days before we finished that search. it seems worrying to the public. of course it does. when anyone escapes from the prison, we have been told this man is not believed to be dangerous to the public but the police are asking and i in turn will ask if anybody believes they have seen this man or has heard anything or knows of his whereabouts, pleased dial 999 and report it immediately. host: given your experience, do the police follow up every single phone call, every potential sighting or are there too many phone calls at a time like this? >> at the moment, the commanders

said today there have not been to many phone calls at all which is surprising for an incident like this and that is why the plea must be to the public to phone in. and yes, you do have to track every phone call. we were having sightings of mote as far away as a midlands. you do not know when that piece of information will come in at will be critical to the case. host: and lastly before i let you go because this is interesting insight regarding the fact that those leads will be chased up. i want to ask you about the borders and getting out of the country. we have seen suggestions there will be delays and extra checks but if someone has had help and organization to escape prison, does not increase the likelihood that they will be helped in some

way in terms of passports, a change in the way they look and they will be able to get out of the country? >> all sorts of things are possible. but the thing is this man has gone to ground very quickly. he will probably have to move again before he attempts to get out of the country. it was an hour before the police were notified and they were out looking for him but there is still every opportunity that he is still in this country. and everybody is asking, please tell the police if you believe you have any information on his whereabouts. call 999. host: thank you. in about 90 minutes time we are expecting u.s. president joe biden to jump on an airplane heading to india for the g 20

summit. a lot of world leaders will be doing the same thing. the g20 is the group of 20 wealthy countries that got together at these big summits to talk about political matters and economic matters as well. the last big meeting was dominated by the conversation around the war in ukraine. this time india as host will want to be talking about the role of india but also issues like sustainable development. it will be dominating the headlines over the next couple of days. we will speak now to emily harding from the center for strategic and international studies. it is a u.s.-based think tank. thank you for coming on the program. what do we think the world leaders and therefore us will be talking about over the next few days? >> the easy answer is probably not much about ukraine. the leaders of the summit are sidestepping the controversial issues and modi is trying to use

this as an opportunity to showcase india and his leadership and the way that india is leading the global stage. host: what does that mean and practice? what kinds of agreements will they be hammering out? >> i would not expect to see a lot of substance on controversial issues. for example i don't expect any joint communiqués on ukraine. i do think there will be an opportunity to talk about the u.s. and its role leading global financial institutions trying to renew some of those institutions. the u.s. is trying to do a big push on the world bank and imf. this is a way to push the u.s. as an alternative to china. host: i have to ask you about india itse. there has been a lot of publicist today and i push in india using -- and a big push in

india using the summit to push its image. what is india trying to get out of this? >> india has worked hard to try to straddle their alliances effectively. they have had a long time alliance with russia but they are also trying to get closer to the west on a lot of fronts but they have been careful to maintain their independence. modi is showing india's role as an independent pole and to be a leader and a spokesperson on behalf of the countries in the global south and those that are still developing. he is showing off india and its ability to be a world leader. host: when we talk about india we normally now talk about china and that relationship. howill that show itself? >> it already is showing itself a little bit in that president xi is not there. president putin also will not be there. that creates an opening for president biden to talk more

about the u.s. and its view of the world and contravention to what china thinks. india is positioning itself to be a bridge between these different players. host: absolutely fascinating. emily harding, thank you for being on the program. at summit is saturday and sunday. we will have plenty of coverage on that. around the world and across the u.k., this is bbc news. let's look at some other stories in the news. a former metropolitan police officers have pleaded guilty to sending grossly offsive messages on whatsapp. some of the messages came to light after an investigation carried out by bbc news and they were about the duchess of six and richie sunak. though the man had already retired from the police. the conservative mp chris picture is standingown after losing his appeal against a suspension regarding a gropi

ng allegation. that will trigger a by election in staffordshire. network rail has admitted a series of failings connected to a train the realm it in which three people died. real operators said a number of errors had contributed to the crash in stone haven in bad weather. you are live with bbc news. the supreme court in mexico has decriminalized abortion across the country. it said the denial of the possibility of a termination was a violation of women's rights. this is two years after the court ruled in favor of a challenge to the law in one northern states. this is part of a trend in latin america on loosening restrictions on abortio

i have a guest including the former supreme court justice. thank you for coming on the program. >> hello. i am very glad to speak to you today and to your audience. host: we are very pleased you are here. what is your reaction to the decision? >> well, yesterday was a double joy in my professional career for my advocacy and for women's rights. for 60 years, i have been fighting for women and girls rights and the feminist movement both in mexico and internationally. my first joy i want to share is

that we have two female candidates running for the president for the first time. and in 2024 we will have necessarily a female president of our country. it is a huge notice. it is a major breakthrough to human rights and a huge victory for women in mexico. and i may say everywhere in the world. this is a cultural victory. and yesterday as you were telling your audience, yesterday the supreme court of justice of my country ruled that the articles that criminalize abortion in the federal criminal codes are unconstitutional.

at does it mean? well, that the abortion penalty articles in the federal criminal code are left without affect. host: senator, on that point, is this decision part oa wider trend heading in the same direction? or do you look at what is happening in the united states where it seems to be going in the other direction? >> well, contrary to what the u.s. court said a few months ago that abortion had to be ruled in every stage of the federation, it is a major thing because before this decision the supreme court of united states had

federal, federal rule that articles did not criminalize abortion in the federal criminal statutes. and nowadays, every state must rule what is good for every state in the united states. it is a step back. host: senator, thank you so much. i'm sorry we have to head on because we have to get to china but thank you for coming on the program and giving us your oughts. thank you. >> thank you to you. host: we have to get to china,

the exports have dropped for a fourth month in a row because of less demand around the world. the exports fell 8.8 percent in august compared to a year earlier. imports dropped 7.3%. not as bad as expected and an improvement on the previous month. let's go live to david, a former imf economist and wall street strategist. thank you for coming on the program. >> thank you for having me. host: what do you make of these numbers? >> first of all as you mentioned we saw a little moderation in terms of the pace of decline in chinese export growth which looked good but we have to realize this is more do to a statistical aberration, a positive base of fact related to the end of the induced global boom in the third quarter of

last year. what is really going on is if you look at the underlying trend there is no sign whatsoever that we have seen in this downtrend of chinese exports. host: so the downtrend is going to continue? there will be weakened global demand for chinese goods and that will continue? >> i think it is more than just basically a weakened global demand for chinese goods. what we cannot disentangle is the global effect which has to do with the global downturn for things like electronics. that is why semiconductor sales are down 20% globally. at the same time there is no doubt that shoring is taking a toll on chinese exports. look at the share of u.s. imports coming from china. last month it felt to 11 point 6%, the lowest level since 2006.

that was literally at the beginning of globalization. from that point of view there is no doubt the u.s. is importing less from china. china has been trying to boost exports to other countries but the increase there is not enough to offset the big drop from the u.s. host: and around the rest of the world, how concerned if at all should we be about these numbers? >> i think you should be concerned because china is right now going through the biggest economic crisis in 20 years. and 20 years ago when china was basically a peanut sized economy , today it is the second-largest economy in the world. for europe, germany, china is the largest export destination of german experts outside europe and the same for japan. from that point of view, if china goes down and down, this is going to have a negative knock on effect for the rest of

the world. it is interesting. in the last few weeks we are starting to see the increased correlations of japanese and european stock markets to the chinese stock market. the chinese stock market is dropping every week. that is starting to have a contagion effect on european and other markets. host: david, great to have you. thank you for coming on the program. >> thank you. host: stay with us because as i mentioned earlier we are expecting to see u.s. president, joe biden in the next hour or so . we expect him to be heading off to india as of course so many of the world leaders will be heading to the g 20 summit. the last summit was dominated by ukraine and a lot of disagreement but this time around india will be determined to shift the agenda onto less controversial topics like sustainable development,

economic development, spreading out global economic developmen more fairly. we will have plenty more analysis on that. stay with us. this is bbc news. ♪ narrator: funding for this presentation of this program is provided by... narrator: financial services firm, raymond james. narrator: funding was also provided by, the freeman foundation. and by judy and peter blum kovler foundation; pursuing solutions for america's neglected needs. ♪ ♪
