officers are treating the four incidents in constitution hill, livery street, irving street and hurstt as linked,

just after 1230 last night, police received reports of a stabbing incident in constitution hill, justy centre. shortly after, a number of other incidents reported in livery street, then coming down to the city centre, and then into hurst street. at each of those incidents, a number of stabbings took place. as a result of stabbings took place. as a result of that, i am sorry to say that one person has died of the injuries that they received. two other people remain in hospital critically injured, and are still being worked upon as a result of the injuries that they sustained during that attack. five other people received relatively minor injuries, to have been discharged from hospital, and all of whom were treated for relatively minor injuries. given the fa ct relatively minor injuries. given the fact that we are still in the early stages of the enquiry, i hope you appreciate i can't go into the details of those people who have been injured, and clearly in terms of the fatality. what i can do is reassure you all that they are going to be supported, and theirfamilies will be supported b

it began just to the north of the city centre at constitution hill at around 12:30am.a half, two hours, that single suspect has travelled through the city centre and add four or five different locations stabbed other people. as i say, that man is still at large. there is a heavy uniformed police presence in the city today. that is merely for reassurance, but they are obviously still trying to get this particular suspect into custody as soon as possible. they have asked people coming into the city centre to still be alert. we also heard from the west midlands ambulance, who talked about what was happening from their point of view. lots of staff out, paramedics, said john sabin inside helping them as well. they said they have trained long and ha rd they said they have trained long and hard for incidents like this and are pleased with the way they responded, but he talked about it being a very extreme circumstance last night. we heard from the west midlands police and crime commissioner, who talked about the dreadful events of last night. i have been speaking to him for t

officers are treating the four incidents in constitution hill, livery street, irving street and hurst linked, with the suspect thought to have moved from north to south. police say there is absolutely no suggestion that the stabbings were terror—related, and that the attacks appeared to be random. our correspondent sian lloyd sent this report from birmingham. a night of violence on the streets of birmingham. a man died, and have other people were injured. two are critically injured in hospital. 1a abilities were called to four different locations in the heart of the city centre. we have launched a murder enquiry. clearly, we are still in the early stages of that enquiry. but what i can say is that we are treating all four of those incidents as a linked series. four separate locations within a mile radius. the attacks took place as people left pubs and restaurants. this morning, when six officers were coming at the pavements, gathering evidence that could help identify this attacker. police have confirmed that they are looking for one suspect, a man, in connection with all of these sta

the first report came through at half past midnight from constitution hill, where a man suffered superficialo 2am, a man was killed and another man was seriously injured in irving street. the final attack was in hurst street just after 2am. a man was arrested in connection with all of the attacks, a few miles away in selly oak. investigations are continuing across the city. this is irving street today. as you can see, there is still a lot of police activity here today. the cordon stretches along the road and that blue tent marks the spot where the 23—year—old man died. his friend was also treated for stab wounds here in the street. it was a night of carnage in birmingham. there were the two guys' friends. i don't say they were from birmingham because i don't think so. they were crying and just inconsolable, really. one was saying, "i tried to save him and i haven't done my best. i tried to save him." the question being asked is how did an apparent lone attacker manage to attack so many people in a busy city centre and evade capture? the streets were very crowded at the time, and the way he o

police were first called to constitution hill at 12:30, where the first victim had been attacked. have responded very well to the cctv images that were put out last night and the police are working on those now and i'm fairly confident now that there will be an arrest made very shortly. some residents are asking how the knife man was able to move through the city centre for 90 minutes without being caught. police say he took an unusual route. witnesses describe him as extremely calm. he wasn't even panicking, he wasn't reacting or anything. afterjust, after he stabbed, four, five, maybe seven times, i think. he walked as if nothing happened. police say they are doing everything they can to provide answers to reassure the community. simon jones, bbc news. geeta pendse is at the scene of one of the stabbings — what's the situation this morning? what is happening there? morning, dan. iam what is happening there? morning, dan. i am on irving street which is cordoned off at the moment and is one of those four locations where the attacks took place on sunday morning. following the relea

role to play in some of these battlegrounds in electing electors to go have the constitution process play out on capitol hill in congress to certify the election results and we've already seen with the piece in the atlantic over the past week, a lot of movement in the gop about those electors. >> yeah, that was a big piece. in fact, another piece, you're the one who writes this one in one of your latest piece. first of all, what is is public sentiment on all this? how is it being received? >> i can't speak for the entire public, but i live here in minnesota and i do think that this particular argument about the peaceful transfer of power is something of a distraction. i think that robert is right that what we need to focus on is the process of voting in the electoral college. i think bill barr is a much bigger threat to democracy than trump himself. i think that it is the justice department and the electors and this army of lawyers that will interrupt the transfer of power. i am less, so what i guess i think is i don't want to focus on this idea of a threat to a peaceful transfer of power. i want to focus on

no it's not legal it violates the 10th amendment to the constitution and trump knows that this is purely political theater hill put out this memo and part of the memo says that they all investigate for 30 days what actions they can take and in the meantime cities will immediately go to court and they will get injunctions preventing the federal government from taking these actions just look at the memo right now when the president is saying that he's taking action to protect american communities from rioting violence and destruction well it's hard to see how he's going to be protecting american cities when he's going to be defunding cities these trying to take money away from things like housing medicare health insurance all sorts of benefits that that americans get and also you have to keep in mind that all of this money that he's wants to hold back is tax dollars and the people in these cities pay there are better all tax dollars that money's coming back to them so for so many reasons this is completely ridiculous this is typical of president trump he makes a statement like this is he puts out a memo it plays

that's what the constitution says and those are the only rules. as playing out on capitol hill, joshua, we're hearing about two names that already rose to the surface as far as potential picks for the president. one is amy coney barrett, "the other is barbara lagoa, also a federal judge on the 11th circuit. president trump has been praising both of these judges as he's been asked about them in the last 24 hours or so. the president not letting up from an aggressive campaign schedule despite all of this talk about the supreme court. he'll be in ohio early in the week and then later in florida toward the end of the week. we've already seen how the supreme court vacancy crept into his campaign talk. he's likely to talk about it on the campaign trail as he tries to energize his voters around the prospect of getting another conservative judge onto the court. the big unanswered question, joshua, will republicans seek to have a vote on this nominee before or after election day. we've seen two schools of thought from republicans starting to emerge on this. one says do it now. right now

hill. i think that's why congress has the lowest rating of nearly any public constitution in the country. you make of the accusations he made about the fact that these small businesses are closed and it's because the way the president handled covid-19? >> i think that's ridiculous. the president has been trying to reopen america for a couple of months now and it's not because of the virus, it's a reaction to the virus that hundred thousand small businesses unfortunately went bankrupt. mostly in democrat states that continued on his lockdowns these lockdowns unnecessarily long. it is joe biden who said in an interview recently that he would shut down country again if that's what scientists recommend it. that and that alone should be cut and replayed as locked down by. i agree that small business owners are in a lot of angst right now. they are in angst that if joe biden becomes president he might shut the country down again. lockdowns are now one of the biggest issues in industrial america and in swing state america. arizona, pennsylvania, wisconsin. and especially swing voters, even more

constitution centre, not just what's best for their party. two republican senators have but a delay until after the election. i spoke to rebecca klar reporterfor the hillll 47 numbers of the senate democratic caucus oppose trump's nominee and mitch mcconnell holds a vote on it, they will need at least four senate republicans tojoin them. so far only two republican senators have said that they don't think the senate should hold the vote and should wait until the next presidential election, but they're going to need to convince at least two more and at already that pool is is dwindling as the number of vulnerable senate republicans who are facing re—election have already said that they're on mcconnell‘s side and that the senate should hold the vote soon. does he have a chance of getting those final two defections? there definitely are a number of senators who are going to be closely watched and who could defect and join the democrats. i think senator mitt romney is going to be closely watched because he is one of president trump's fiercest critics among senate republicans, he was the only senate republican to vote for one of the articles of impeachment.
