The Prime Minister has told the bbc that 7a people who were jailed for terror offences have been released before serving their full sentences. Their cases are now being reviewed. It follows the attack on London Bridge on friday in which the convicted terrorist usman khan killed two people and injured three others.

Of those injured on friday, one has now returned home and the other two are in a stable condition. Sarah corker reports. Just metres from London Bridge. A service at Southwark Cathedral remembering those killed and injured in fridays attack. We have to help ease their pain but also speak into that pain with words of hope. 25 year old jack merritt was leading a prisoner rehabilitation event when he was fatally stabbed. In the words of his father, he was a beautiful spirit who always took the side of the underdog. And floral tributes have been laid at Cambridge University where jack worked. A woman who also died has not yet been named. Three others were injured. Mobile phone footage shows the moment usman khan was chased along the bridge. He sprayed with a fire extinguisher and another man lunges at him with what looks like a long task. Moments later he is pinned to the ground, tour guide thomas gray was one of those he intervened. I saw that something was going on, so originally before even knowing what the incident was, i wanted to go and separate them and make sure that somebody was not getting beaten to a pulp. Police arrived within minutes and he was shot dead. Usman khan was a convicted terrorist, jailed for his part in a plot to blow up the london stock exchange. He served half of the 16 year sentence in prison and was released last year. In Stafford Police have searched khans top floor flat and take away bags of evidence. Fridays attack will raise questions about the extent to which convicted terrorists can be de radicalised as well as the conditions of khans license. He would have got permission to travel from stafford to london. There are questions about how closely he was being monitored once he left prison. The government has launched an urgent review into the licensing conditions under which terrorists are released. Khan was wearing an electronic tag and attended fridays conference hosted by the organisation learning together and even appeared in a leaflet about their work with prisoners. The London Bridge is still a crime scene as Police Continue to gather evidence today and questions for investigators will now focus on why khan turned on those trying to rehabilitate him. Borisjohnson has been facing questions about why usman khan had been released early from from prison. Mrjohnson said he would introduce longer prison sentences, and blamed khans release on legislation introduced 11 years ago by the last labour government. Heres our Political Correspondent susanna mendonca. After visiting the scene of the London Bridge terror attack yesterday, today the Prime Minister took to a tv studio to explain what his government was doing. Im sure people can imagine what we are doing to ensure that the 7a other individuals who had been let out early on the basis of this labour change of legislation, they are being properly investigated to ensure there is no threat. Election campaigning had been paused after the events of friday, but only briefly. Now the conservative leader has turned his attention to sentencing laws, attempting to lay the blame at labours door and suggesting that he was not responsible for the actions of a tory government that he had been part of. It is absolutely repulsive and we are. It happened under the conservatives, it was conservative legislation and a conservative regime. Would you like to apologise . Let me repeat to you. The release was necessary under the law because of the automatic Early Release scheme, under which he was sentenced. In 2008, undera labour government, the criminaljustice and immigration act enabled more offenders to be released automatically, halfway through sentences, butjudges could still hand down prison sentences which have no fixed length for dangerous offenders. In 2012, usman khan pleaded guilty to a terror offence and was handed an intermediate prison sentence which was to be a minimum of eight years. In the same year, under a conservative coalition government, a law passed in scrapping intermediate sentences and reintroduced extended sentences of ten years or more. This time after two thirds of the sentence has passed. In 2013, the court of appeal ruled that indeterminate sentences should be substituted for a 16 year fixed term of which he should serve half in prison, amounting to eight years. The labour leader in another tv studio pointed to cuts to policing on the part privatisation of the probe but in service and he was quizzed on whether it makes and terror should serve full sentences. On whether convicted terrorists should serve fill sentences. It depends on the circumstances of the sentence, but crucially depends on what have done. Not necessarily, no. There has to be an examination of how our Prison Services work and crucially what happens when someone is released from prison. The liberal democrat leader jo swinson said the whole system needed to be looked at. Absolutely essential that anyone convicted of terror offences is properly assessed before they can ever be released and that hearing should happen with the parole board. That is what the law now states should happen. Events often end up steering the direction of a general election and this one certainly has. Well, sarah is with me now. We had some details in your reports, we now have a statement from the university of cambridge about the two people who were killed. Yes, we have had confirmation that they were meant he was killed was in fact from the university of cambridge, a student. The vice chancellor has released a statement. It says i am devastated to learn that among the victims. It goes on to say. Among the three injured whose identities have not been publicly released as a member of university staff. Flowers a re released as a member of university staff. Flowers are beginning to be laid at the university and the background to this is that they were holding a prisoner rehabilitation event at best mongers hall, which is very close to London Bridge. As man candy had been working with that charity, including during his time in prison had been invited to that event and he turned on those who have been trying to rehabilitate him. It is a terrible incident, not least of course in the terms of loss of life, some better news on the condition of the injured. But in terms of the sentencing issues, this is the one that seems to be politically catching buyer. As somebody with such a serious conviction could be released right halfway through his sentence with no review of the threat he posed. Yes, the debate over sentencing is really intensified over the weekend. It is spared to say all Political Parties have helped to produce this rather confusing set of sentencing rules. And that meant that usman khan was effectively released from prison halfway through that 16 year sentence, without being properly assessed. If we look back at the background, when he was actually sentencing 2012, thejudge background, when he was actually sentencing 2012, the judge at the time said he should not actually be released until he was no longer deemed a threat to the public. But that tie bet sentence, but was scrapped a couple of months later. He was given a different sentence, this 16 year fixed term released halfway through. So, i think it is about cider has been a catalogue of failures, really, assessing whether he was effectively deradicalised, did he go through a programme that assisted him to do that . His time out of prison, was he effectively monitored by the Security Services . When you he had a tiger, but was any sciences suggest he had extremist views and that he was panic this attack . He had a tag on. Views and that he was panic this attack . He had a tag on. As you say, he was out on licence, which can be revoked if a prisoner breaks any terms. We were told yesterday by the counterterrorism chief that there was an extensive list of conditions. Presumably one that Daniel Sandford refer to this morning was that he would not have been able to go to this conference without somebody giving him permission. No, there better and some very strict licensing conditions including, as i mentioned, thats tag. But also, to be able to go to this conference he would have had to get permission to travel from his home in stafford down to london. We also know part of a conditions of his release was that he was taking part in a Deradicalisation Programme stop he is originally from stoke and that is where he plotted this attack for which he was imprisoned for in 2012, to blow up the london stock exchange. He was part of a group known as the stoke plotters and we believe that part of these licensing conditions was that he was not allowed to mix up as associate and he could not go into the stoke on trent area. He could not go into the stokeontrent area. Sarah, and give a beekeeping is up to date with developments. Thank you very much.

Lisa smith is from dundalk, attempting belfast and dublin. She was not a teenager when she travelled to join Islamic State, she travelled to join Islamic State, she was a woman in her 30s. She had been a member of the Irish Defence voices, somebody with military training. She became disillusioned with her life. In 2011 she converted to islam and then in 2015 she made the decision to leave her husband and go andjoin the decision to leave her husband and go and join the Islamic State. Now, she resurfaced again in the summer now, she resurfaced again in the summer of this year, when the Islamic State was collapsing she was held by us backed forces in syria. She was in the refugee camp and at that time the bbc caught up with her in that camp and asked her what she had been doing while she was with Islamic State and she denied that she had better military skills to any offensive use. Lisa smith is now in the custody of the irish police and they will of course be testing that story of hers, about what she did during those four years in syria. They will clearly wa nt those four years in syria. They will clearly want to know in detail who exactly clearly want to know in detail who exa ctly s he clearly want to know in detail who exactly she was west, where she was with and what she did.

The secretary general of the un, antonio guterres, has called for greater political will to tackle Climate Change. He was speaking ahead of the 2019 un Climate Change conference, known as cop25, which formally begins in madrid tomorrow. Mr guterres praised young people for their efforts to improve the environment and said subsidies on fossil fuels should be scrapped. The road map to stay below 1. 5 degrees is still within reach. The technologies that are necessary to make this possible are already available. And the signals of hope are multiplying. Public opinion is waking up everywhere. Young people are showing remarkable leadership and mobilisation. What is still lacking is political will. Political will to put a price on carbon. Political will to stop subsidies on fossil fuels. Political will to stop subsidies on fossilfuels. Building coal powered plants from 2020 onwards. Political will to shift taxation from income to carbon, taxing pollution instead of people. We simply have to stop digging and drilling and take advantage of the vast possibilities offered by Renewable Energy and nature based solutions. Antonio guterres. The headlines on bbc news. Cambridge university confirms that the woman killed in the London Bridge attack was a former student. The Prime Minister tells the bbc that 7a people jailed for terror offences and released early will have their licence conditions reviewed. An irish woman who travelled to syria to join the Islamic State group is arrested after arriving back in dublin. Its been revealed that a loud bang heard by People Living in parts of south east england overnight was a sonic boom from two raf jets. Hundreds of people across north london and the Home Counties were woken up by a loud bang that many said sounded like an explosion. The noise was generated by two Royal Air Force typhoons, which launched from coningsby in lincolnshire and intercepted an unresponsive aircraft which later re established contact. Lets have a listen to recordings viewers have sent in. Boom. Explosion. That is what it sounds like. Andy moore is with me now. In the middle of the night in us like that would wake people up at the start. Yes, exactly. You do hear the start. Yes, exactly. You do hear the sonic booms from time to time, the sonic booms from time to time, the raf does take off. But if it is ona the raf does take off. But if it is on a saturday afternoon, you have got traffic around you, you probably would not notice it. But in the middle of a sunday night when all is quiet, it will wake you up and it did to thousands of people. So, we know the raf typhoons took of to an unresponsive jet. Well, i know the raf typhoons took of to an unresponsivejet. Well, i have had a response from the pilot of thatjet. Remarkably. He tells the tale of how they had problems of the Radio Communications for about ten minutes they were not aware of it, then for ten minutes they retired to fix it. It was right about the pilots was looking down at the panel he looked across to his left and saw an raf jet, a fighterjet across to his left and saw an raf jet, a fighter jet flying across to his left and saw an raf jet, a fighterjet flying alongside him. That would be quite a scary experience for a civilian pilot. He said he nearly had a heart attack. He said in response, they turned on that landing lights to acknowledge that landing lights to acknowledge that they had seen the fighter and it was about that time that they had established Radio Communication, so they were able to talk to the pilot in the titans. They are the same time, Radio Communication with the appropriate authority and continued on their way. He also praised the raf for his incredibly fast reaction. We understand took about 12 minutes to get from raf in lincolnshire to central london. Gosh, that some blind. I guess fear is that if you find yourself in that situation as a pilot, you do not quite know why they are there and if there after you or not. |j quite know why they are there and if there after you or not. I think a pilot would know why they without, especially they knew they had the problems with the Radio Communications. By the raf, this is what they do. They are on duty 24 hour today, seven days a week and you remember the world were two felons with the boy sitting on the deck chairs waiting for the bell to ring . Well, there is a modern equivalent. These pilots are there in their appliances the bell goes they rushed out to the plains and they rushed out to the plains and they are in the air. They are used to exercises like this. If the worst came to the west, you know, these planes are armed and they are ready to ta ke planes are armed and they are ready to take the necessary action. Absolutely, again if any pilot knows that it would be another reason to be rather worried. Andy, thank you very much stop rugby star Gareth Thomas says he wants his everlasting legacy to be greater awareness of hiv, after revealing his own positive diagnosis back in september. The former wales rugby captain has been speaking to prince harry in an interview for the Terrence Higgins trust, as part of world aids day. Youve got a new purpose in life and youve turned a negative into a positive. Yeah. And ill tell you what i feel like. And this is the truth, mate. I always felt that my life was to play rugby and to represent wales, which i did with all the passion i have, right . But i actually feel that my rugby gave me the platform to actually do what im doing now. And i believe what i do now, like, what i do now is really what i care about. Because theres not many people from a simple life like ive come from who could have the power to change other peoples lives. Thats, like. Its one of the most fulfilling things. It blows me away. I sit down with my parents sometimes and we look at my trophy cabinet, which im really proud of. Its big. Yeah, its big, its big. But i look and i think, you know what, theyll gather dust and theyll go away and theyll be forgotten about. But id like to think where we go on this journey of education and breaking stigma around hiv is something i will have a legacy everlasting. There is a 2030 goal and youve now just signed up as a commissioner. Yes. Im going to be a commissioner to sit on a panel with a group of people, we have a common goal that in ten years time within england there will be zero new transmissions of hiv. Now, this whole thing might be bizarre anyway, like, were sitting in a rugby ground, me and you having a chat about hiv, talking about zero transmissions of hiv in ten years time. Like, i cant believe that were actually at a point where thats a reality. But it is. It is a reality. And its something that, for me, its my next step. We know theres a hell of a lot to do, but what youve managed to do in the space of, you know, six or eight weeks has been transformational. Genuinely transformational. As you said, we should all know our status. And if its treated just the same as any other virus thats exactly what should be happening. Yeah. From my perspective, all i can do is thank you for the difference that youve made and the lives you are saving on a daily basis now. And you will have every single one of us backing you the whole way. Youre not in this alone. Youre not. You now know that. I know. You put the trust in the british public. And quite rightly. You know, they support you all the way. Maltas governing labour party has been holding an emergency meeting, as speculation mounts that the Prime Minister, code resigned. He is under intense pressure following the merger of the investigative journalist two years ago. Ministers have been linked with the businessmen who is being charged with complicity in the murder. 0ur europe correspondence reports now from malta. At the Prime Minister s retreat out of view today, emergency talks. The question, whether to force the Prime Minister to go. This wasjoseph muscat just two days ago. It is the investigation into the murder of a campaigning journalist that is at the heart of the crisis. Myjob is to see this investigation concluded. Daphne Caruana Galizia was blown up by a car bomb two years ago. She had been writing about the close business ties of those around the Prime Minister. They included maltas richest man Yorgen Fenech, the Energy Minister he had dealings with, konrad mizzi and the Prime Ministers own chief of staff, keith schembri. Last night the businessman, Yorgen Fenech was brought to court and charged with being part of the plot to murder the journalist. He denied involvement. Daphne Caruana Galizias family had long said people close to the minister were implicated. For two years he failed to take action. We now expect the Prime Minister to leave office and parliament, with immediate effect to allow a free and full investigation into his and Keith Schembris involvement in daphnes assassination. The businessman was in custody last night. The Prime Minister himself hopelessly compromised. Malta, sullied and corrupted on his watch. Under police guard, multis richest man arrived to be charged the news coming out of the meeting here is that the party has decided to back the Prime Minister to choosing his own time as to when he goes. While he stays, it seems the political situation in malta will remain. Police in hong kong have used tear gas to disperse pro democracy demonstrators. Pepper spray was also used as tensions rose. Earlier thousands of activists marched to the american consulate to express gratitude for washingtons support for the movement. Thats after a decision last week by President Trump to sign a bill that supported the demand for greater freedoms much to beijings anger. read 0n that supported the demand for greater freedoms much to beijings anger. 0ur correspondent in hong kong, nick beake, has been following developments today. Well, the pro democracy activists of hong kong have been back on the streets again today. It looked like they had a spring in their step, they really feel that theyve got momentum at the moment. Why is that . Well, they did extremely well, their candidates, in the district elections last weekend. They took 17 of the 18 councils here, in hong kong. Then, of course, in the week President Trump signed into law this new piece of legislation, which means that america every year look at what is happening here in hong kong and decide whether beijing is eroding peoples fundamental freedoms and the pro democracy activists have seen it in the past week, as far as they interpret it, they have both the support of the population here, but also the Wider Community and in particular the International Community and america. There is a debate about what to do next, we saw some violence today, some tear gas was fired by the police after officers came under attack, but none of the widespread disruption and disturbances we have seen on many weekends during the last five or six months. That is because people in this movement, the pro democracy movement, are having a debate, really. They are saying, look, do we hang back . Do we reassess . Do we take our time and try and come up with a strategy that is giing to bring some sort of political reward . Some sort of concession from beijing from the beijing backed government here. So, some people are saying lets be cautious and lets think about the gains we have made. Other people are saying no, we need to keep on acting. The fight continues and yes, if that means more violence, so be it. Because we have come so far, but nothing really has been achieved, as far as they see it. And so, it seems like this is finally poised, but in terms of tonight, this weekend in hong kong most of the protesters have now gone home and this is by and large a peaceful city. We still have a bit of daylight left today. Now its time for a look at the weather. A few hours of daylight left, not much. They could the day, below 10 celsius at telecom bridge and the scottish highlands. The coldest night since the 2nd of february. For many, some crisp sunday centring around, suddenly feeling cold and quite a brisk north easterly went. Beating a few wintry showers in north scotland. Bits were clad across southern and western england, from some spells of sunshine over the next hour or two. Temperatures in places, particularly Northern England and southern scotland struggling to get above to celsius. Skies are clear negligent wales tonight, cold and rose. Difference in scotland, some aspects of rain in a north of scotland, cloud increasing across Northern Ireland and temperatures above blazing. Above freezing. We start the new week with this area of High Pressure, notice this frontal system just spending northern scotland. That is what is responsible for the cloud and a base of rain and that will continue to press cheaply across northern scotland tomorrow as across northern scotland tomorrow as a patchy went through the centre about and southern scotland in the afternoon. Dry and cloudy for Northern Ireland and a good deal of sunshine for england and wales. The cloud increasing across Northern England and north wales through the afternoon. Pilot light when spammers, quite a press commercially went spammers, quite a press commercially we nt a cross spammers, quite a press commercially went across the Western Isles and a milder day here, it were nine celsius the top temperature. More like 68 celsius for england, wales and Northern Ireland. Tomorrow night at the rain travels and eventually close away. By tuesday we are left but this area of High Pressure starting to drift its way south and is about. As it does, which are to pull in some moister air. So, but england and wales in particular a Tuesday Morning that bulk rest returns and it could be quite dense in places. It may even linger through most of the day given quite a cold field to the day. Essentially, for most of the uk are to say it is dry and once any bulk left there will be some spells of sunshine
