parliament., the sponsors - of those who attacked david, and who attacked me, will have succeeded. i but an argument about civility in politics doesn't explain why, like five years ago, a family's in pain. it brought it back very physically. i was shaking and unable to process it, really. that moment when you're told that they haven't made it, and weeks and months of despair and anguish that follow, i guess. if you were a young couple now, when she first said, "i think i want to go into parliament", would you try to persuade her not to do it? she had a vision for the society she wanted to see, and she would have taken personal risk to see it. so, i wouldn't have tried or succeeded in trying to convince her to do anything differently, but i do think that there will be people that will be put off. this place is fuelled by difference, by argument. but tonight, a moment to remember, a man who believed in their common cause. let's speak now to bob stewart, the conservative mp for beckenham, who was a

and it is really a pretty shabby treatment of parliament by the government. but i wanted to ask you, or, you know, in this context me, to what extent is the u. k. government compromising his sovereignty by using america's amazon services in this way? i suppose you could argue that british government use horn companies, whole kind of thing, for example, they use american companies to buy oh, air craft ships, missiles and so on. but what we have here is something entirely different. it is about real time information, real time exchange of information, or the either within the u. k or with allies. and therefore, it is an entirely different issue because anything that is online can be hacked. therefore, it is a security risk and those security security risks are increased when you hand the control to private entities. and that, is that a big issue here. so i think really the government has to come clean, it will be reluctant, but suddenly we'll have to reprise out of it. i wanted to ask you, but wanted to ask you about this, because ultimately you do, you really

those sentiments have been echoed by labor, members of parliament, democratic members of parliament. and really, i don't, as you would just suggesting it was in david amos, his character that he was just widely regarded as a person very easy to get on with on to talk about issues with whatever your political attitude. so a sense of shock here, but also a sense of urgency. people saying what we need to make sure that mt can carry out their duties safely. people are seeing whether there will be the need for arms, arms, personnel armed security. when members of parliament do hold meetings, because that is not routine as it might be in some countries with such meetings do happen. and so lots and lots of questions. what's, what will happen in light of these killing? not him. thank you so much that he above the tracking that breaking story for us out of the county of essex in the u. k. some other top stories for you security. so susan, afghanistan say at least 41 people were killed and thousands were wounded. an attack on the biggest sheer mosque in the southern city of kandahar. it follow
