This is shepherd stone lane where the accident happened late on friday night, roughly at about 8 40pm. Its a very busy main road, the speed limit goes from 50 mph to 60 mph, just past these tributes behind me. I have been reading some of them this morning, some from friends and family, even the local residents. This one in particular i think is quite endearing. It says, my darling baby boy, my heart is broken, love always, from mum and beanie. As we heard of the three boys aged between 16 and i7 boys aged between 16 and 17 have been named locally asjosh kennedy, George Wilkinson and harry rice.

A black audi mounted the pavement, where you can see where these residents are standing, there are white markings on the pavement. That is where the black audi mounted the pavement at speed and hit them. What is the latest on the Police Investigation . What are they saying about the investigation . We have been told by witnesses that when this happened it was actually the public who detained the 28 year old. We know that 28 year old. We know that 28 year old is currently being questioned by police and has been arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving. The update from police and main focus on the police remains on the other man who actually fled the scene at the time. Residents have been astonished that a man could do such an act. We have been told by the police that their main focus is to find this man. Anybody who was driving along this road or walking along this path we at 8 1i0pm on friday evening must get in touch with the police. I have spoken to some of the locals including a taxi man who told me that this is a particularly dangerous road. Speeding happens here all the time. Residents have told me the same thing. One of the tribute very poignantly says, they should never have happened. That is the main message. For now, the polices focus remains on finding the other man who fled the scene at the time. Thank you. The Cabinet Office minister David Lidington has urged the conservative party to come together amid growing rifts in the party over brexit. His comments come as the former Northern Ireland secretary and prominent leave campaigner, Theresa Villiers has said she fears the uk is heading towards a dilution of brexit. 0ur political correspondent, susana mendonca, is with me. As every weekend, more pressure on the Prime Minister over brexit. Theresa villiers the latest voice, there have been so many backbenchers over the past few days have talked about this issue, in particular they are concerned about the direction of travel. Theresa villiers in this article actually says that as far as shes concerned, that direction of travel has only been going in one single direction in her view towards a dilution of brexit. She says that what they dont want is a situation where britain signed up to an agreement which means that it still remains in the eu in all but name. That is something other people have also talked about. We heard today from jacob rees mogg, spoken about this again, a backbencher, eurosceptic, and he says as far as hes concerned, he thinks the problem is that there is no clear direction, there is no clear time frame on one britain would cease to have to adhere to the rules of the eu. I think this is troubling, on the number of counts. First of all, the Prime Minister said implementation, which meant we would have left and then we would be implementing the consequences of having leaving. But currently, theres no clear destination, either in the governments mind or indeed agreed with the European Union. And theres no set limit. 0ne certain friend of mine said it looked more like a plank than a bridge. Number ten have said that the government is committed to delivering brexit. We heard from david David Lidington, current cabinet minister and he said after Brexit Britain was definitely have the power to die werderanerfrom things they didnt want to adhere to in terms of the way that european structures work with trade. He talked about how there is a need, as far as hes concerned, for the party to come together. Its the conservative family left, right and centre, because were broad church needs to come together in a spirit of mutual respect. You know, there are differences in any broad church. And look at what the Bigger Picture is showing. The Bigger Picture is showing that after eight years in government, we are still neck and neck with the labour party in the polls, we are taking seats off them in places like bolton in local government elections last week. Thats what the various strands of the conservative party think and weve also been hearing about labour from Jeremy Corbyn on what labour think about brexit. What was interesting, we see the divisions within the conservative party. There are potentially divisions also within the labour party. A lot of labour members want to have a clearer direction from Jeremy Corbyn on what happens after brexit. Today, we had some of that from Jeremy Corbyn in particular on the issue of the Customs Union. He was basically saying that after brexit he would wa nt saying that after brexit he would want there to be a kind of Customs Union, not the one that exists now. He talked about not wanting to go down the norway route and replicate that model but certainly do have some kind of Customs Union and maintain that close trading relationship. 0n the issue of free movement, while he said that there would be no free movement, he talks about easy movement, making sure that when we need nurses from the eu and what have you, they would be able to come over. A bit more detail from him, this is what he said. We would want a form of Customs Union. Obviously, whether it would be the Customs Union, the answer is no, because it would require being a member of the eu, which were not. We could agree to be in the Customs Union without being a member of the eu. We need to be sure that any agreement with the eu gives us the chance to influence the situation were in and the trading relationships we want. Now, look, i would want to see trade relations with the rest of the world going on and increasing, of course. But also, i would want to see conditions put on those trade. Conditions for environmental protections, conditions for human rights, conditions of workers ability to represent and negotiate themselves. Thats Jeremy Corbyn. ThatsJeremy Corbyn. The Prime Minister has been criticised for the way shes negotiating brexit by some of her own conservative party, by the labour party as now by donald trump as well yes. It seems to a criticism. Dont tramp was asked about brexit and whether or not he would have taken the same route donald trump was asked. He said he would have been tougher, the indication that theresa may perhaps has not been tough enough. There are those within the tory backbenches who feel that the Prime Minister needs to be tougher. Perhaps not the most helpful interventions on Donald Trumps part, this is what he said. Do you believe that were in a good position, britain . A lot of people are still very nervous, very anxious. But hearing the president of the United States saying, hey, theres plenty of trade coming from me, thats a big deal to people in britain. Well, would it be the way i negotiate . No, i wouldnt negotiate it the way its negotiated. But i have a lot of respect for your Prime Minister, and i think they are doing a job. I think i would have negotiated it differently. I would have had a different attitude. What would you have done . I think i would have said that the European Union is not cracked up to what its supposed to be. And i would have taken a tougher stand in getting out. We will hear more about what the European Union thinks tomorrow, we are expecting the eu 27 to come forward with their proposal to how they see the negotiations moving. They have talked about a transition period. The brexit secretary david davis talking about an implementation period and it would be interesting to see what they actually come to in the end and whether or not it fits both you. Fits both sides. The taliban has claimed responsibility for a suicide bombing in kabul yesterday that killed 95 people. Another 150 were injured after the attackers blew up an ambulance full of explosives close to foreign embassies and the police headquarters. Its the second major attack in the Afghan Capital in a week. Secunder kermani has the latest from kabul. The authorities have been working throughout the night and into the morning, to clear up the scene of the explosion. Theyre not allowing us past this cordon at the moment, but you can still see some of the damage that was caused. The suicide attacker was driving an ambulance packed with explosives. He managed to get past this first checkpoint, but then when he reached a second one, and was apparently questioned, he blew himself up. Its not exactly clear what his target was. A Police Building is right opposite the scene of the blast. The Indian Embassy is also just slightly further up the road. But, as is often the case, it seems that a large number of those killed and wounded in this terrible incident are civilians. Translation i was sitting and working on the computer, and suddenly i heard a huge bang. Then the whole ceiling fell down on top of me. This attack comes just a week after the taliban killed more than 20 people in another attack on the Intercontinental Hotel in kabul. Theyve claimed responsibility for this explosion, too, which has been widely condemned by both leaders in afghanistan and across the world, including the us president , donald trump. The security situation in afghanistan, and in particular in kabul, seems to be getting a lot worse. Militants seem to be focusing their efforts on targeting the capital, rather than on fighting Security Forces in rural areas. But to give you an idea of the level of bloodshed in the country, more than 2,000 civilians lost their lives in the first nine months of last year alone. Supporters of the russian opposition leader, alexei navalny, say police have forced their way into his offices in moscow, after he called for demonstrations this afternoon calling for a boycott of what he says is a rigged russian president ial election in march. They speak russian this is the moment the police entered the studio, interrupting a live online broadcast from mr navalnys foundation for fighting corruption. Mr navalny has been barred from standing against vladimir putin, because of a criminal charge, which he describes as politically motivated. Hundreds of his supporters in the far eastern russian city of vladivostok have begun the nationwide day of protests. Mr navalny has tweeted that there is a heavy Police Presence in moscow, ahead of the rally in the russian capital. Paris remains on high alert, with water levels continuing to rise along the river seine. The country has seen some of the heaviest rain for a century, and the river is expected to rise six metres higher than normal. Predicting extreme weather is always problematic. The river level is continuing to rise above the maximum to rise, but the maximum point it is now expected to reach is not as high as it was a couple of days ago and its thought not likely to reach the levels we saw during the floods of 2016, for example. The people of paris and tourists are adjusting to the swollen river. Are adjusting to the swollen river. The police here have issued a warning that you shouldnt swim or go canoeing in the river, not a warning that most of us, of course, have needed. This has been a winter of exceptional rain in france, some regions have seen levels they have not seen since the 1950s. So, the peak of the river seines flooding is likely to be reached some point between sunset on sunday and dawn on monday morning but the consequences of this, especially in communities further out in the seine valley, where there has been realflooding, will take weeks or months to resolve. Police are trying to establish how many people were in a car that hit and killed three teenagers in west london on friday. The Cabinet Office minister David Lidington urges the conservative party to come together amid growing rifts in the party over brexit. Hospitals in the Afghan Capital, kabul, struggle to cope with casualties from a suicide bombing that killed at least 95 people and injured 158 others.

I6 and i7 year olds in wales are to be given the right to vote in local elections, under plans published by the Welsh Government. If approved, wales would follow scotland, where the voting age has already been lowered for national and local elections. The labour party has called for the idea to be extended to the whole of the uk. Gavin thomas reports. After yea rs of struggle and campaigns by the suffrage movement, 1918 was the year in which the representation of the people act was passed in parliament. For the first time, voting was expanded to all men aged over 21, and to some women aged over 30. Now, 100 years on, in wales, the labour devolved government is planning to cut the voting age in local elections to 16. It follows the example of scotland, where a similar change came into force in 2016. There, it also applies to national elections. The local government minister in cardiff bay says the time is right. I think everyone who pays taxes should be able to vote, and that means people who are 17, and people who are 16 as well, so i would like to see us moving the franchise to enable younger people to take part in the democratic process. The minister says he wants voting to become more attractive and welcoming, and hes spoken of his concern that young people are becoming disengaged from politics. I think it would be a good thing for us to be able to vote, because we would be voting for our future. But at the same time, i dont think we get educated enough about politics. I think we are educated enough as 16 year olds, because we use our social media, we see the parties. The advertisement they put out there. The Welsh Government will formally announce the proposals on tuesday. Gavin thomas, bbc news. A close friend and political ally of President Trump has resigned as head of fundraising for the republican party, for the republican party, after accusations that he sexually harassed women who worked for him. Steve wynn, a billionaire casino owner, was chosen by mr trump to be finance chairman of the Republican National committee. Hes alleged to have subjected dozens of women to unwanted sexual advances. Mr wynn has described the claims, published by the wall street journal, as preposterous. Meanwhile, donald trump has said hes not aware of any invitation to attend prince harry and Meghan Markles wedding. In an itv interview, the us president said the pair looked like a lovely couple, but when asked if had received an invite he replied, not that i know of. Ms markle has previously called mr trump divisive and a misogynist. The husband of the murdered labour mpjo cox is amongst those launching a new group to campaign against terrorism. Survivors against terror is made up of bereaved family members and survivors of attacks by organisations including the ira, far right activists and islamist extremists. Our reporter, anisa kadri, has more. Three people whove lost loved ones in terror attacks, all united in their resolve to root out the hatred and division that led to their loss. The labour mp jo cox was murdered a week before the European Union referendum. Her husband, brendan, is now one of the founding members of a group called survivors against terror. I dont think you ever move on. I think this is something that will have an impact on the rest of my life and the lives of all of us. But i think that what you do have some agency over, some choice over, is what you do with it. And i think, for all of us, the choice that were making is to try and make sure that other families dont have to experience what we have. Also in the group, the partner of david dixon, who was killed in a terror attack in brussels, where the couple lived with their young son. I think i really want to be part of something. I really hated the way that groups were using my partners death to propagate further hate. Sir Anthony Berry was killed in the brighton bombing, carried out by the ira in the 1980s. My bereavement comes from a long time ago. My father was killed in the brighton bomb in 1984. And it was the ira that planted the bomb. So, thats a long time. They go into schools and they dont know who the ira are, its such a long time ago. But i feel that my experience has relevance today. Survivors against terror says it will campaign for effective policies to tackle terrorism, and work to ensure that victims and their families get the support that they deserve. Parking companies which use unfair practices are to be banned from accessing motorists details and issuing fines. The government has confirmed its to introduce legislation to try to improve standards among parking firms in england. Ministers say they want to put an end to inconsistent rules, poor signage, intimidating letters and a confusing appeals process. A british man has become the first in the world to receive a new treatment for brain cancer. Surgery on brain tumours is notoriously difficult but scientists have found that injecting patients with a particular type of virus can boost their immune system. The idea is being trialled by scientists in leeds. Ian baileys life changed dramatically last summer. It started with headaches, then he began to lose his balance and fall. He was diagnosed with a brain tumour. Just a week later, he was undergoing surgery to remove it. As well as receiving radiotherapy and chemotherapy, hes also the first person on a trial that uses a virus to treat the disease. It really gave me a massive lift, in whats a very, very difficult situation to try and deal with, but i was really, really pleased at being offered the opportunity to get involved in this trial. So, how does it work . Well, a brain tumour has the effect of turning off the immune system. The virus is injected into the bloodstream. It attacks the tumour cells, and effectively switches the bodys own defences back on. How are you . Nice to meet you again. It is called reovirus, and its hoped it could make traditional treatments more effective when used together. Ians neurosurgeon thinks that could be a really positive step. Theres a limit to what we can do, surgically. And then the rest of the treatment depends upon the radiotherapy and the chemotherapy. So, this new trial is definitely a bonus, because if thats what we can do, so probably we could limit our surgery and concentrate more on the treatment, which is non surgical. The oncologists leading the trial say if it works, it could open up other options, too. We have to think hard about what the next step should be, whether we should add in other immune stimulating type treatments into the mix, whether there are other ways that we could use this virus in other contexts, particularly in patients whove previously had radiotherapy and chemotherapy in whom the tumour has grown back. Theres lots more work to do, but for ian, it offers both hope and the energy to enjoy the time he has away from treatment. Doing the things that i enjoy, living each day at a time, and thats what its taught me i have got to do make the best of every day as it comes along. Corinne wheatley, bbc news, leeds.
