. >> reporter: his killing is the first of a sitting mp since labor's joe cox was shot and stabbed byreme right wing views five years ago. from across the political spectrum and beyond, the outpouring of affection for amos, a traditional conservative with a love of animals and the environment, has been huge. >> he was much respected. he had that profound sense of duty. was driven by his faith. and that's why across the parties, across parliament, he was so respected and so liked. and there's a very profound sense of loss, i think, across politics, across faith and up and down the country. >> reporter: he leaves a wife and five children. sir david amos dead at 69. of course this really is reigniting the debate, jake, about how safe british mps are when they meet face-to-face with their constituents. >> five years ago the british mp joe cox was murdered in a similar type situation. we've gotten no word on a motive yet for this 25-year-old man who has been arrested or taken by police. how are police working to track down a motive? >> well, i think some of the details that we do know and

he was of the best and his name will be remembered with robert bradford, anthony barry, ian bell, joe coxse mps murdered since 1945 and others like andrew pennington who have died in the course of public service. public service in politics is a sacrifice that should be honoured and respected even when differences of opinion run very deep indeed. david showed that. sacrifices ripped liberty by those that represent us. but when the cost is seen so visibly with such demonic kara, what do we say so that we may comfort the grieving and be read easily and in tragedy? first that the light lit by a public service, by you all and your colleagues must never be put out even in the darkest moments and especially forjulia and david's children this is as dark as could be. light continues. in ourfirst reading we heard the words of the prophet isaiah speaking to defeated jewish captives held in slave labour camps outside babylon. the king was overthrown, they temple destroyed, scattered to the winds yet eyes as speaks of future triumph because of the faithfulness of god. cruel adversity is not final dest

five years ago, the labor mp, joe cox, was murdered by a right-wing gunman who shot her then stabbedncy. so to have what at the surface at the moment appears to be a repeat of that. where the mp is meeting with constituents in an open forum as lawmakers traditionally do in this country, it raises that question can this be done safely? the second -- the home secretary in the country here has said that she wants the police to review all procedures around mps and their activities with their communities. of course, this tradition of meeting with constituency members in pre -- prearranged open sessions, as this was today, is something that many mps are going to want to keep but many of them and amis was one of them -- was concerned about the threats going forward. he was very aware of incidents of stabbing in the uk. had raised it as a question in parliament. and even raised the question of the safety of mps after the murder of joe cox five years ago, wolf. >> nic robertson on the scene for us. nic, thanks very much. >>> we are gating some breaking news right now. president biden has just

this was somebody, joe cox, who was killed in 2016.ad been campaigning against that brexit vote and that was one of the reasons why she was targeted and killed. and so now, you know, a lot of this story, as i mentioned snowy, it will be changing when we hear more about the identity and the motive of this perpetrator. >> matt bradley, thank you very much for being with me this morning. staying on top of this breaking news out of the uk. >>> happening right now in italy, protesters are, well, over a new measure aimed at preventing the spread of covid. all workers will now be required to show what's known as a green pass. in order to enter their place of work. the path shows an individual's proof of vaccination, a recent negative test, or if the person has recovered from covid within the last six months. demonstrations against the requirement are taking place across italy. the government closed schools early and issued warning to embassies of potential violence. joining me now from rome, at a sit-in protest, what more can you tell us abou

this five years ago, the labour mp joe cox died in similar circumstances, stabbed and shot by a far right. secretary patel says she is considering mp's police protection in their fortnightly wiki -- meetings with their constituency. many agree more needs to be done, some worry about undermining what is a key feature and tradition of british democracy. an atmosphere of often populist rhetoric stoking division, mp's say they face threats all the time. one veteran mp margaret hodge revealed she received 90,000 abusive social media mentions in just a two month period. there are calls both to tighten the rules on social media companies and also to better protect mp's physically as they go about their business, even among the very communities that elected them. at the church where amess was killed, his family remembers the man who was described as courageous and inspiring. police are continuing to question a 25-year-old reddish national of somali dissent arrested at the scene friday. it remains unclear whether he was targeted specifically or simply because he was a british member of parliament.

sir davi amess, what happened to him today, joe cox, the labor mp who was stabbed five years ago, theyraise more questions about how they can keep mp's safe when they are out in their constituencies in this way, whereas in westminster, there is tight security, they are well protected, but once they go back to their constituencies, how are they cap safe? we know the home secretary is concerned about this. she has asked all police forces to review the security arrangements for mp's with immediate effect. we are expecting local police forces will be contacting mps over the past -- over the next 24 hours. anchor: thank you very much. some other news, in afghanistan, more than 40 people reported to have been killed in several blasts at a mosque in the southern city of kandahar during friday prayers. dozens more are said to have been injured. local media are reporting the attack occurred at one of the largest mosques in kandahar. these are pictures from e scene. no one hasdmitted carrying out the attack so far but the islamic states that it was responsible for an attack on another mosque a w

joe cox, was shot and stabbed in the street while meeting with her constituents. british police say it's too early to discuss a motive. once again, the suspect is a british citizen who gave up without a fight. halftaff., flags here flying at major. >> garrett: charlie d'agata, thank you. we are also following developments in the lebanese capital of beirut, which is being torn apart by violence. police are still rounding up suspects after seven people were killed in street battles thursday. this all traces back to a massive explosion one year ago. cbs' holly williams is on the scene. >> reporter: they buried their dead in lebanon today in a country seething with anger. in lebanon, this is what passes for relative calm, that gunfire, all going into the air, as a mark of respect at this funeral. but yesterday, at t, e teon supporters of hezbollah spiraled into clashes with rival militias. the violence was sparked by this-- a giant blast last year fueled by dangerous chemicals stored in unsafe conditions, killing over 200 people. the protesters claimed the official in

of parliament in britain, especially considering the really chilling similarities to the murder of joe cox who was stopped on shot to death back in 2016 again. that was just before her very own constituency surgery meeting. it's also really sad to know that said david, a mrs. last tweet was actually talking about this constituency surgery invitation, saying to the local community to com and chat to him face to face for, for many m p. 's. this is a really pastor, no tragedy for them. and a terrible reminder of the very real risks that they face in the jobs of a normal friday turns very harrowing and very violent, indeed, and a much investigation is now underway. david amos was in fact, a frequent guest here on the international where he would typically share his views on politics in the u. k. joining me now for more on this is conservative m p for south and west said david amos, congress elected on the same day, 983. is this gentleman we need to have a government who know what they're doing. i don't mind hard work. in fact, the already is it would go back to so as of constituents i had when

another mc joe cox was killed in very similar circumstances that gave rise then to concerns and questions about security . some of the recommendations made then were not entirely adopted and again, the same debate raging. now, as i said, the motifs are not entirely clear the police are still investigating. but what is clear is that this is taking place in a particularly devices, political climate, in which discourse is characterized by really the most to be brought at times. rhetoric and the questions now are about how to keep n p 's who face very regular risks safe. one m p a veteran labor party and p. margaret hodge revealed earlier that she receives $90000.00 social media, abusive mentions on social media interest, a 2 month period last year. so the and inevitable course of the social media companies to do more to clamp down on what is allowed to appear online, but it is the more present issue of their physical safety. that is the subject of lead to debate. now, particularly these constituencies settings where and please meet with their constituents every 2 weeks face to face in a very

this the 2nd time now, 5 years ago when joe cox's murdered by member of the far right group, britain 1st. we didn't prescribe that group. we didn't ban that group. we didn't ban any affiliate organizations. everything was allowed to flourish. i think inevitably, the home secretary's already spoken out. they're going to look at some of these things, whether that's how you are a, you're an online profile, how your online persona is carried out. should there be ip address link? should be people forced to come clean about how you look online, but of course, further questions need to be asked. how was this a young man allowed to go to a constituency miles from where he lives? not in his residential area. why the police investigating his childhood home, where he lived a decade ago in south london? and they're trying to piece together storyline, which i didn't quite understand. the questions will need to be asked with a question. i think that people are asking about security in particular is that the, the british tradition is that on a friday friday afternoon, a constituents can go and meet

joe cox from the opposition labor party was killed by a white supremacist in 2016 on the streets of the area. she represented the home secretary as lawrence to safety review measures underway right now. i've convened meetings yesterday, i've been with the speaker of the house and with the police and security services to make sure that all measures are being put in place for the security of m p so that they can carry on with the duties as elected democratic members. one conservative m p tobias elwood says, face to face meetings with constituents should be stopped until it can be moved on line in 2017. he tried to save the life of a police officer fatally wounded in the westminster bridge attack that left 6 people dead. but many more m p say meeting the public is a vital part of their jobs and the functioning of british democracy. and even a tragedy such as this shouldn't be allowed to disrupt it. for each highlands out as era, leon c and essex, the french president has condemned a crackdown, algerian protested that happens 60 years ago in paris. manual macro was marking the anniversary o

most infamous in recent times, was the murder of labor party mp joe cox in her northern england constituency. in 2016, she was stabbed and shot by a far right supporter a week before the breaks at referendum. it can't be beyond the wizard man to provide some form of security to members of parliament whilst still respecting that tradition of being able to see your m p. so, you know, when it's coming up, you can roster on a police officer to be in the room if that's what it's going to take. david amos is killing, has clearly created a great amount of shock here in his constituency and around the country. but it's also raised once again, questions of how politicians can maintain contact with the public. they represent. nadine barbara al jazeera leon, see in southeast england still ahead on al jazeera, they tell is not a residence in the black majority city, the u. s. a. warmer tap. water is toxic. oh news. the hells in by yourself west street and it's in 10 years. ah. hello there. the heat is easing across the middle east, but there's still plenty of sunshine around and a lot of settled weather

and also off the joe cox's mother 5 years ago that you know, that, that nice, cozy old world is no more. so and do you think that probably security rolls around m p 's meetings with can see trends will change in the wake of this incident and if you have them, how well i think obviously there's going to be the when you come in there's going to be the usual risking which is very unpleasant and i imagine to be some kind of security detail with any n p, we with police officers or some possible security that will be assigned by parliament. but the pleasant one on one that the constituents used to have with there and peas. i think that's the thing of the or how the implications for the suspects of the killing being declared the terrorist attack. well, the implications are quite serious because of course, as you know, it's something like, i don't know, hundreds of thousands, we don't even know exactly how many were evacuated from. afghanistan has been notoriously a center of tara for decades now. that wasn't really proper venting. and, and the real question, i mean, would be, you know, who are

it was a debate that flared up after joe cox's killing in 2016 and will no doubt. as you say, once again, you know, when they're on the parliamentary estate, when they're in parliament, when they're doing that end of their jobs, these empties. they are very heavily protected by police. indeed, one on police officer was killed in an attack on parliament on the parliamentary estate in march, 2017. threats to politicians are nothing new. and yet when they leave the parliamentary estate there afforded no protection whatsoever. and when they go about doing their jobs inside their constituencies that involve these open door meetings, face to face meetings, anybody can walk in, no security is involved at all. indeed, that is an absolutely key part of the work that they do of the political system in this country. this openness, this opportunity for people to come and share their problems with their elected representatives, giving them some sense of participation, of recourse and accountability. they will be a lot of defenders as they have been in the past, who will say, ta

you know, we saw what happened with joe cox and there was this profound shock again. so i think the fact that it's happened again, you know, 5 years apart, it will have a chilling effect on british politics. the way in which, you know, you get that vital interchange between an electron member of parliament part a legislature and the constituents that they represent. so the $650.00 british m. p 's, who all now we thinking, you know, that could have been made. there is no rhyme or reason as to why it was him robin. anybody else we know of? are they were we looking over their shoulders? they were we thinking about? how can we improve our security? but you know, i think the a whole of course, that the main sentiment is for david's family and friends. ah, to have lost him in such a way. it is just the unbelief. chris, this happened just a few hours ago. literally, but it's already ignited the debate that you're talking about there, about how and when, or if indeed, british m p 's should be protected. i guess we've got to be talking about the reality of armed officers looki

the country had been here before in 2016, the labour member of parliament, joe cox, who was a representative for a northern seat, was murdered by a far right supporter just a few days before the referendum. in fact, on leaving the european union at that time, there was talk of a polarization of public opinion and right now as well, many people are asking themselves how we've got to a stage where there are constantly death threats and abuse both in real life and online targeting directed towards our elected represent lives, and i guess it'd be fair to say nadeem, one of the, the sad aspects about losing someone like so david amos, i mean it's appalling, the way that he was murdered. but he was an old fashioned conviction. politician, you know, he seemed to believe that words could be weaponized, but he never did that. he tried to convince people of the rightness of his politics by talking to them and trying to convince them. and that's why he was so well liked . and on top of that, he was a hard working family man, strong marriage, either 5 children. y'all closed off in the church where baby

most infamous, in recent times, was the murder of labor polity mp joe cox in her northern england constituency. in 2016, she was stabbed in short by a far right supporter a week before the bricks at referendum. it can't be beyond the width of man to provide some form of security to members of parliament whilst still respecting that tradition of being able to see your emp, hey so you know, when it's coming up, you can roster on a police officer to be in the room if that's what it's going to take. david a mrs. killing has clearly created a great amount of shock here in his constituency and around the country. but it's also raised once again, questions of how politicians can maintain contact with the public. they represent. nadine bob al jazeera leon c in southeast england was being held in lebanon after 7 people were killed in bay. roots were street violence in more than 10 years. armed men, including an identified snipers on rooftops. exchanged gunfire for more than 4 hours on thursday. the little party has bought them and it's our lives had organized a protest to demand the removal of a judge

in fact, of course, the killing of joe cox and only just 5 years ago and what appeared from what we know at the moment to be very similar circumstances. i think it's reasonable to say that regardless of what one might think or might not think of these individuals concerns, particular politics. this is a very sad story, i think for not just of course those people have their families and friends. but also i think it's not an understatement. sets of very sad day for british democracy itself. and i'm sure that are actually changes will be made in terms of the security aspects. but also of course, as the sergeant from himself, i think major, clear indeed, i think in a tweet actually quite recently that this kind of work where the m p, if he's going to be, or she is going to be a tree representative of people at a local level, this kind of work where they are open to meeting with constituents. it's absolutely essential, it is continues. and so what we've got is a situation i think, where in terms of going forward that a, the balance between the security needs of employees and the accessibility

the fact is, we're, we this, is it happening again, isn't it with him in the name joe cox? it's, it's anonymous of what's happened here. yeah, i mean, to be honest, you can't really stop happening in the future. if politicians, if m pays are to carry on meeting the public face to face, it's an activity that is so crucial to their jobs. it's crucial to how they operate as public servants, but it makes them vulnerable ministers. have me particularly the top ministers, have close security that follows them often. wherever they go and pays back, vention pays. they can't really do that. they can't have that. it would stop them doing what they need to do, and most of them don't want to have that kind of protection. so pretty put out in the home office has a dilemma and it will have to strike a balance. the one thing that printed out. but i was saying that was that she's not going to try to stop and he's doing that face to face outreach to the public representation that cannot be taken away from m. p. 's. otherwise the kind of functioning of the parliamentary democracy like the u.

. >>> i want to point something out, after joe cox's murder that was murdered in 2016. her husband tweeted, my thoughts and love are with david's family but also saying how the pain has come back and remembering how much the public gave us after the loss of joe and i hope we can do the same here. he also tweeted that this is an attack on democracy itself. >> that's right. that's the concern we are hearing from the statements. not just tributes to him and grief but what does this mean for the policy. in talking about jo cox in 2016, you mentioned this was not the first to be killed this way. in 2010, another mp was killed in meeting with voters in a similar circumstance although he survived. there is a concern about how things can continue. it is not just the violent events, the out course of the mood and events that are parts of an mp's daily life. it is a core part of their job which is meeting the people that they represent intimately, one on one spending time and listening to them. a key dynamic and core pillar of how democracy works in this country. even before the
