simon jones has more details. this was an attack that brought terror back to the streets of london. woman killed before the attacker was shot dead on friday afternoon on london bridge. now, during the night the police have named the man who was shot dead as usman khan. he was 28 years old from staffordshire in the midlands here in the uk. now, he is a convicted terrorist. he was jailed back in 2012 for a plot to bomb the london stock exchange. he was initially given what was called an indeterminate sentence, meaning he could be kept in jail for as long as was deemed necessary, for as long as was deemed he was a threat to the public. but he appealed that and then he was given a jail term of 16 years and told he would have to serve half that tiem actually in jail and then could be released on license. it appears that's what happened. he was released in december of last year. now, under license means he should have been closely monitored, there should have been checks with the idea of rehabilitating him, making sure he wasn't a danger to the community. but the police are saying during

growing backlash since his interview with the bbc‘s newsnight last weekend. 0ur correspondent, simon jonese. well, prince andrew is on the front page of many of today's newspapers, once again, following his decision to step back from public life. one of the papers calls him the duke of nothing. it is a week since that interview with newsnight in which he spoke about his friendship with the disgraced financierjeffrey epstein, a convicted sex offender. yesterday, prince andrew was seen out riding with the queen, but the number of people and organisations wanting to disassociate themselves with the prince is now continuing to grow. we have had the royal philharmonic 0rchestra saying he is no longer their patron. we have also had barclays pulling support for a scheme called pitch at palace which was being run by prince andrew. that was designed to give a helping hand to businesses starting out in the world of enterprise. if the duke is trying to keep out of the public eye in future, he may still have some more problems ahead, though, because the bbc says it is going to broadcast a special edit

our correspondent, simon jones has been outside buckingham palace. six offender. yesterday, prince andrew was seen out riding with the queen but the number of people and organisations wanting to disassociate themselves with the prince is now continuing to grow. we have had the royal philharmonic orchestra saying he is no longer their patron and also barclays pulling their support for a scheme called pitch at the palace. that was designed to give a helping hand to businesses starting out in the world of enterprise. if the duke is trying to keep out of the public eye in future, he may still have some more problems ahead because the bbc says it is going to broadcast a special edition of panorama at the start of next month which is going to examine that relationship. it is also going to hearfor that relationship. it is also going to hear for the first time on british television from virginia roberts. she is the woman who said she was forced to have sex with prince andrew. that is an allegation that he has always totally denied. in last week's interview,

simon jones, bbc news. let's speak to our correspondent simonjones, who's at london bridge. gation very much focusing on the attacker was mankind, his history and how attack broke out. he was attending a conference organised by the university of cambridge and we are told by people there a short way into the conference he started attacking people. that is when people, members of the public stepped in. we understand one person pulled off an ornamental tusk from a wall, from a whale, and used that to try to stop the attack. the attacker was then pursued onto london bridge and members of the public held him down on the bridge. one of them had a fire extinguisher and was letting it off in the attacker‘s face to try to keep him from carrying out any more attacks and after around five minutes, the police arrived and they managed to get members of the public out of the way and that is when they shot was mankind. the real questions about why he was released from jail when he was initially sentenced he was given an indeterminate sentence and that was changed on appeal and then was ulti

simon jones therefore asked.le are preparing to vote in this weekend's local elections in hong kong. it follows months of pro—democracy protests, which have become increasingly violent in recent weeks. let's get the latest from our correspondent, stephen mcdonell, who's in hong kong for us now. a very good morning to you. after such a tumultuous time, all the problems and violence we have seen, talk us through what will be happening across the weekend. well, it's pretty quiet here at the moment a day before these crucial district council elections are to be held. out in the street you can see candidates and their supporters canvassing for vote. there are the posters of political parties like you can see behind me. posters, flyers, wherever people are gathering. and that's because this election, although it's a district council series of elections is being seen as council series of elections is being seen as something of a referendum on the government of carrie lam and her handling of this political crisis, now in

simon jones, bbc news. we have yet to get full reports from other polling stations, but the numbers are still very significant here at this polling stations. people have been queueing up from really early, from before 7:30am when polls open. they have now been open for seven and a half hours. still long lines of people and some already, we are being told the turnout, up to now, and we still have another seven hours of voting to go, has exceeded that of the last local elections four years ago, which tells you how important these elections are being seen by hong kongers and that it is not of course just about local services, it is for some, of course, but for everyone the crisis and how they feel about the crisis overs ha d ows they feel about the crisis overshadows everything and many people going in there to cast ballots for local counsellors will also be wanting to send a message either of support or opposition to the government or the protest movement. and the results, when they come in, will give a fairl

simon jones, thank you. now with all the business news, here's dharshini. financial support, including loan guarantees. the economy has avoided recession after expanding 0.3% in the three months to the end of september. however, growth has lost momentum over the last year— with output up just 1% in the year to the third quarter, the weakest expansion in the aftermath of the financial crisis. two cannabis—based medicines, used to treat epilepsy and multiple sclerosis, have been approved for use by the nhs in england. charities have welcomed the move, although some campaigners who have been fighting for access to the drugs have said it does not go far enough. the number of pubs and bars that have fallen into insolvency, rose by 13% to 530 in the year to september. that's according to analysis performed by uhy hacker young, the network of acountants on data collected by the insolvency service. this year is the third successive year in which pub company insolvencies have increased. i am joined by peter kubik. do you understand exactly why the trend is moving in

jones with that exclusive film. let's talk live to alexander blackman, and simon adams, who's ceo of the community interest company exforpersonnel transition into civilian life. good morning to you both and thank you very much for coming on the programme. al blackman, what is it like for you hearing sam deen, whose identity we can finally reveal, speak in the way he has? it is very saddening. i think back when we were first arrested in the whole process began, obviously apart from the effect on myself, one of the things that affected me the most was the damaging effect at the time and ongoing that it had on the young men under my command on that day. it has been one of the hardest things for me to get over. do you believe that he, sam deen, should never have been charged with murder? well, yes. the fa ct charged with murder? well, yes. the fact that he had the charges dropped before we went to trial was proof of that. 0bviously things need to be investigated and how that is determined is up to the investigators, but i think the fact he had all the charges dropped was enough that he had no criminal involvement or charges

jones, go was an appetite for it. a remarkably perky lukejones, go and get some sleep! it's because he is really young! with me now is simonthe independent. i have done something similar, perth to london is only an hour shorter. this is a publicity stunt they carried out in the 1980s, flying near empty plane from london heathrow to sydney but it raises the prospect that we will see these nonstop flights from london to syd ney nonstop flights from london to sydney and qantas really needs that because it has a high cost base. if you want to travel one—stop gp from europe to australia, you can do it very economically through the gulf oi’ very economically through the gulf or china. in orderfor very economically through the gulf or china. in order for qantas very economically through the gulf or china. in orderfor qantas to get some kind of premium, they need to offer something different and they are the only game in town. certainly british airways and virgin atlantic are not british airways and virgin atlantic a re not interested british airways and virgin atlantic are not interested in this. qantas needs to do this and it th

this probably isn't something eddie jones felt he needed to factor. and the davis cup. yes, simones 18 nations competing in six groups, rather than the old system of home and away ties through the year. former spanish international footballer gerard pique has overseen the change. the new style has been criticised, but andy murray and novak djokovic are amongst those who say fans and players should give it a chance. the format change has happened in the davis cup and in the six weeks' time, we will have the at pick up as well with a very similar format. there was some change necessary and very much needed for the team competitions to gain more attention and more significance. from one of the sport's big stars to a rising star. stefanos tsitsipas is now targetting next year's grand slams after becoming the youngest winner of the atp finals since 2001. he came from a set down to beat austria's dominic thiem on a tie break in the deciding set in london. the 21 year old takes home £2 million in prize money. and he will target plenty more of those as well. gareth southgate says his engl
