And they took the game back to the knifeman. Police say theyve arrested a man in stoke on trent, following a review of the existing licence conditions of convicted terrorism offenders. It is not believed to be connected to the London Bridge attack. Mass protests in malta with calls on the Prime Minister to resign, over the murder of an anti corru ption journalist. Cheering. And joy for leicester as they close the gap on liverpool at the top of the premier league after late v a r drama reaction to that and rest of the days action in sportsday in half an hour. Good evening. The second victim killed in the London Bridge attack, has been named as 23 year old saskia jones from stratford upon avon. She was a volunteer with the Charity Learning together. Her family describe her as a wonderful and positive influence at the centre of many peoples lives. Jack merritt, who was 25 and from cambridgeshire was also murdered, while 3 other people were injured. The attacker, usman khan who was later shot dead by the police, was a convicted terrorist, who had served half of a 16 yearjail sentence. Today the conservatives and labour blamed each other for his early release. More on that in a moment but first for the latest on the investigation, heres our home affairs correspondent, Daniel Sandford. Saskia jones, 23 years old, a cambridge graduate who wanted to join the police. A cambridge graduate herfamily said she had a passion for helping victims of injustice. She was named today as the second person murdered in fridays attack, running from fishmongers hall, where hed just killed two people, usman khan on London Bridge on friday afternoon, pursued, in an astonishing act of bravery by a man armed only of bravery, by a man armed only with a fire extinguisher and another wielding the tusk of a narwhal, an arctic whale. Hes brought to the ground and held before armed officers arrive and realise hes wearing what looks like a suicide vest bomb. What is going on . Hes got a bomb. They shoot him dead. This afternoon, toby williamson, who runs fishmongers hall, where the attack took place, was at the scene and told the bbc about the bravery of his staff who had been helping people at this conference when the bloodshed began. This is extraordinary things happening, done by ordinary people. Let me just bounce you around. In rece tion ouve got dawn and gareth, one trying to keep that door closed against a vicious knifeman, the other calmly placing the emergency calls. Allah and sandra, normally dealing with coats and serving coffees, now facing a life moment. And then famously, you get andy and lukasz starting a fight back. They used fire extinguishers, they used chairs. They used these narwhal tusks ripped off the wall in the heat of the moment and they took the game back to the knifeman. Usman khan also killed jack merritt, another Cambridge University graduate who worked with prisoners to help them reform. Usman khan was one of the people hed assisted, a man who was released last december after serving eight years in prison for terrorism offenses, but turned onjack merritt and stabbed him to death. This afternoon, some of jacks friends came to London Bridge to mourn him and lay flowers as the head of Cambridge University paid him this tribute. Well, were devastated. I metjack only once, but i must say that he impressed me as a person of tremendous charm, but also extraordinary commitment. He really believed that the work that learning together is doing is fundamental for the future of our society. Fishmongers hall remains closed a crime scene being pored over by counterterrorism detectives because, although there wont be a trial, there will be a detailed inquest into the deaths of those who were killed here on friday afternoon. The investigation was continuing as night fell, police determined to gather every piece of evidence to help the families of two young people at the start of their adult lives understand exactly how they came to be killed. Daniel sandford, bbc news, London Bridge. Well, borisjohnson has faced questions today, over why usman khan, had been released early from prison. The Prime Minister blamed legislation introduced 11 years ago by the last Labour Government and vowed that serious offenders would in future, serve their full sentences. However, labour claimed tory budget cuts were responsible, for what it described as missed chances to intervene. Our political correspondent, Jessica Parker has more details. Visiting the scene yesterday. Today, borisjohnson wanted to talk more about tougher sentencing, saying those convicted of serious terrorist offenses should serve a minimum term of 1a years. I think its ridiculous. I think its repulsive that individuals as dangerous as this man should be allowed out after serving only eight years and thats why we are going to change the law. On the issue of early release, borisjohnson pointed the finger at a Labour Government, but its a complicated picture. In 2008, labour changed the law so that more offenders could be released halfway through their sentences. However, dangerous offenders could still be given an indeterminate sentence with no fixed release date. And in 2012, usman khan was given this kind of sentence. It was the court of appeal, later that year, which chose to change khans sentence to a fixed term, which meant he could be released on licence after eight years. Of course, a conservative or Coalition Government has been in charge since 2010. For ten years youve done nothing to change the system. Im talking about. Now youre saying, now we will. What we are going to do. Ive been in office for 120 days. Were going to bring in tougher sentences for serious sexual and violent offenders. Weve seen it before unexpected events taking general election campaigns in an unexpected direction, but the manner in which fridays terror attack has quickly become politicised will be seen by some as unedifying, but perhaps also by others as unsurprising. Arriving in york today, the labour leader set out his concerns about the impact of cuts to Public Services such as in probation and policing. When those Public Services are cut back, as they have been during the past decade of austerity, they leave behind huge gaps and that can lead to missed chances to intervene in the lives of people who go on to commit absolutely inexcusable acts. After fridays terror attack, politicians across the board have expressed their sympathies for the affected families and paid tribute to the emergency services. But parties will also want to persuade you that they are best placed to keep people safe. Jessica parker, bbc news. Our home affairs correspondent, Daniel Sandford said earlier, that there are questions that need to be answered by the security service, mi5. Its been a total system failure in the end. Yes, its true that if there had been tougher sentencing, usman khan would still be in prison and so he wouldnt have been out to kill. Yes, its true that the under resourced probation and Prison Service were probably unable to do enough work to make sure that usman khan changed his mindset, certainly the deradicalisation system still doesnt seem to be working very well at all. And then, of course, there are issues for the security service, mi5, and counterterrorism police. What were they doing to make sure that usman khan on the outside wasnt a danger . So i think its right across the board that there has been a total system failure, but it is worth repeating today what Jack Merritts father said yesterday is that jack merritt would not have wanted his death to lead to much more draconian sentences and people being held unnecessarily in prison. West midlands Counter Terrorism unit have arrested a man following a review of the existing licence conditions of convicted terrorism offenders. The 34 year old was arrested at his home in stoke on trent on suspicion of preparation of terrorist acts. It is not believed to be connected to the London Bridge attack. And well find out how the London Bridge attack and other stories are covered in tomorrows front pages at 10 30 and 11 30 this evening in the papers our guests joining me tonight are deputy Political Editor at the independent, rob merrick, and journalist at the sunday times, katherine forster. An irishwoman who became a so called Islamic State bride in syria, has been arrested after arriving back in ireland with her 2 year old daughter. Lisa smith went to the war torn country in 2015 after converting to islam and becoming radicalised. She had been living with her child in a syrian refugee camp. She has also revealed that the father of her child was a suspected member of is who died last year. 0ur correspondent, John Campbell has more on ms smiths background. She was a woman in her 30s, she had been a member of the Irish Defence forces, so, somebody with military training. She became disillusioned with her life. In 2011, she converted to islam, and then in 2015 she made that decision to leave her husband and go and join the Islamic State. 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 a refugee camp and, at that time, the bbc caught up with her in that camp. We asked what she had been doing while she was with Islamic State and she denied that she had put her 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 want to know in detail who exactly she was with, where she was and what she did. Now, irish police can hold herfor three days before they have to make some sort of decision on charge or release. That isjohn that is John Campbell there.

Toby williamson is the chief executive of the Fishmongers Company who own fishmongers hall near London Bridge, where usman khan was attending a conference on prisoner rehabilitation. Mr williamson spoke to the bbc about the how events unfolded inside the hall and paid tribute to how his staff handled the stiuation. At our conference making opportunity for other people, it turns into a game of pinball bomb with added knives. This is extraordinary things happening done by ordinary people. Let me just bounce you round. In reception, youve got dawn and gareth one trying door closed against a vicious knifeman and the other calmly placing the emergency calls. Peter, anna, they appear on scene. Wrong time, wrong place and make instant decisions as to who to protect and where to go. You get allah and sandra normally dealing with coats and serving coffees and now facing a life moment. And then famously, you get andy and lukasz starting a fight back. They used fire extinguishers, they used chairs. They used these narwhal tusks ripped off the wall in the heat of the moment and they took the game back to the knifeman. When that door was forced open at knife point, they follow out onto the pavement, shouting at others to get back and join in. They know theres a bomb there. And the rest, i think, you know, is what happened on the television cameras. They took a decision that enough was enough. They took anything immediately to hand in order to level the odds against a madman. No one could predict how this was going to happen start to finish, two minutes but they were determined that it wasnt going to go on and they did exactly what they had to do. Proud to know them. Obviously we know that the fight spilled out onto the street. It is difficult for people who have watched that video to judge what they were going through and the courage it took to do that. You know these gentlemen well, obviously, but what do you think about them at this time . Well, weve mentioned two. There were many more. Carlos, amy, jeff, evacuating hundreds of people, some in large numbers, others having to go into lockdown into areas and waiting hours before they are released, under great tension, not knowing whether there was more than one person. We now know there wasnt. None of these were known at the time. Its just people doing the right thing. London is good at that. And have you had a chance to speak to lukasz since the events or have you been in touch with his family . Were speaking with everyone. Everyones speaking with each other. Were a team. We will remain a team. There are some difficult moments ahead. And well be together with tremendous support from everyone else right across the city. Are you able to share with us how he is . Injuries suffered . Hes doing all right. Toby williamson, the chief executive of the owners of fishmongers hall. Falkirk council says it is on standby to help vulnerable residents after thousands of homes have been left without heating following a gas main failure in central scotland. With the temperature in the area just above freezing, electric heaters and cookers are being offered to elderly or sick customers and those with young children. Scottish gas Networks Said engineers were trying to fix the problem but didnt know when gas would be restored. Its been revealed that a loud bang, heard by People Living in parts of south east england overnight, was a sonic boom from two rafjets. Hundreds of people across north london and the home counties, were woken up by the explosive sound. The noise was generated by two Royal Air Force typhoons which had launched from coningsby in lincolnshire as they intercepted an unresponsive aircraft which later re established contact. Lets have a listen to recordings viewers have sent in. Boom. Our correspondent, andy moore, said residents heard what sounded like an explosion. We did get to the sonic boom now and again, but normally in the hubbub of daytime noise and it is not so, it does not distribute quite so much. We now know that it was caused by these two typhoon jets taking off from raf coningsby to go to intercept this aircraft. We know it was a false alarm, but at the time, who knows. It could have been a hijacked jet or Something Else very serious. Lets just look at an exercise that gives us an idea of what happens when the alarm goes off. This is an exercise, but it happened for real in the middle of the night while we were sleeping. Alarm rings. So, you so everybody springing into action there. We can now see the raf typhoon taxing out. It takes a little while to take off. In fact, we had at last night at the typhoons intercepted that plane within about 12 minutes over Central London last night. While we are looking at these pictures, i can tell you the story of what it looked like from the pilots point of view on that boeing. He has been speaking to me via e mail. He said that what happened was that they had a problem with the Radio Communications, they did not know for about ten minutes and then for another ten minutes they were trying to sort out the problem. The pilot was concentrating on his switches in the cockpit and while he was doing that, he just about re establish Radio Communications. He looked out his left hand side, so this raf typhoon alongside him, they fly very close, and he said he could see the lights of the typhoon, so the pilot could see the strobe lights of the typhoon and he put on his landing lights to acknowledge that he had seen the fighter. He managed to establish Radio Communications and they went on their way and all was well. Politicians from seven parties are taking part in a live, two hour debate on itv this evening. The leaders of the snp, lib dems, plaid, greens and the brexit party have been put up. But borisjohnson and Jeremy Corbyn arent taking part. Theyve been replaced by senior members of their parties instead. The panel began by debating Security Issues in the wake of the London Bridge attack. We cannot avoid asking tough questions in general about the conservative decision to cut more than 20,000 police. About the cows in our present system, where there are more and more assaults on prison officers and the disastrous privatisation about the assault in our prison system. Under the rules that we pass in 2012, this person would not have been out of prison. We have invested more in counterterrorism and the police. It is notjust counterterrorism and the police. It is not just about counterterrorism and the police. It is notjust about resources but powers. We want to do more stop and search, labour opposes that. We want a tougher sentencing, but labour opposes that. No terrorist should be released without it being properly assessed whether or not they still pose a risk to the public. If someone pose a risk to the public. If someone like thatjust pose a risk to the public. If someone like that just should pose a risk to the public. If someone like thatjust should not have been on our streets. Clearly, these questions need to be asked. you have committed mass murder, or you have committed mass murder, or you plan to commit mass murder, youre not an ordinary criminal, you have the virus jihadi is on. These people should never, ever be let out of prison unless we are absolutely convinced that they do not have a jihadi virus. However, Political Correctness stops us from doing this. And a reminder that we will be putting all your questions to the parties. Your questions will be a nswered parties. Your questions will be answered tomorrow at 1130 m. You can do that on twitter using the hashtag bbcyourquestions. It was the first time in 600 years that 2 popes came face to face. And now a new film tells the story of what happened when Pope Benedict unexpectedly stood down in 2013. The two popes examines the relationship between benedict and his successor, pope francis. One of the stars, jonathan pryce, whos been tipped for an oscar, has been speaking to our entertainment correspondent, lizo mzimba. The series of confrontations and conversations between the two popes. Reform needs a politician. Manages to undercut audiences expectations in many different ways. You go in there thinking, maybe, do i want to sit and listen to two popes talking, and you can watch this film with a sense of humour. You know the beatles . Yes, eleanor rigby. Who . Eleanor rigby. No, i dont know her. Yellow submarine. Yellow submarine . Thats silly. Jonathan pryce says his portrayal of pope francis before he succeeded anthony hopkinss Pope Benedict was helped by his long standing admiration for the oscar winner. Oh, no, a pope must go on forever and be the personification of the crucified christ. You see francis going in very much feeling he is in the presence of the pope, and he is slightly in awe of him, and that played well into my relationship with tony, who ive admired for years. He doesnt think there are comparisons between the mens conflicts and some of the situations happening around the world. Whenever i try to be myself, people dont seem to like me very much. The position in europe and america is so horrific at the moment, i dont see the parallels between francis and benedict. Ijust see there is a conflict between them which is resolved, and please, god, we can resolve our issues here. A film he hopes can set a powerful example for all. Lizo mzimba, bbc news.

Cold outside at the moment. Some more frost likely tonight, perhaps in different areas. It will be across england and wales that we will have the skies clearing in most areas, but there is workload spilling into Northern Ireland and scotla nd spilling into Northern Ireland and scotland with some patchy rain coming in here as well. These are the temperatures by the end of the net, not as by the end of the net, not as by the end of the net, not as cold in Northern Ireland and england. We are still under the theory of high pressure, shifting southwards and allowing this medal airto come southwards and allowing this medal air to come top of it there is any of the pressure. Workload still on monday. Some of that cloud will push its way down over the irish sea and eventually by the sunshine hanging on after that for us to start. 6 degrees and mother in scotla nd start. 6 degrees and mother in scotland with the rain. Milder. Still the risk of some patchy fog until tones are wetter and the headlines the woman killed in the London Bridge attack has been named as 23 year old saskia jones, a graduate of Cambridge University. Her family said she was funny and kind and will leave a huge void in their lives. The universitys vice chancellor said he is devastated. This is an attack on our community in many ways, and it was intended as such. It was meant to produce a form of terror and sadness and it has clearly done that.
