here in the uk, we have new pictures of the search for the terror suspect who escaped from prison. but still no sighting of the suspect. this is the van being searched. we will bring you the latest. also, world leaders will start heading to india for the 620 summit this weekend. we'll see what they'll be talking about and how india will present itself on the international stage. in china, exports are down again. we'll look at what that means for the rest of the world. to discuss this all, i'll bejoined by the panel — andrew fisher, former director of policy of the labour party, here in the uk, under leaderjeremy corbyn. and bryan lanza, former deputy communications director of trump campaign. and let's talk about the 620, because we are expecting us presidentjoe biden seen to be jumping on a plane, heading to india for that 620 summit, a group of 20 wealthy countries that get together, they try and reach agreement on the economic and political issues and ukraine has dominated previous meetings. the hope from the indian perspective is that they will shift the agenda onto slightly less controversial things, things like sustainable development. then also the role of india itself. just a little earlier... i spoke to emily harding from the centre for strategic and international studies, a us—based think tank. i asked her what world leaders will be talking about over the next couple of days. well, i think the easy answer is probably not much about ukraine. the leaders of this summit are effectively sidestepping some of the more controversial issues and modi in particular is really trying to use this as an opportunity to showcase india, to show his leadership personally and also the way india is leading the global south on a world stage. and what does that mean in practice? what kind of commitment, what kind of agreements will they be hammering out? i would not really expect to see a whole lot of substance on controversial issues. i don't expect, for example, there to be anyjoint communiques on ukraine, for example. but on the other hand, i do think that it's going to be an opportunity to talk about the us and their role leading global financial institutions, trying to renew some of those institutions. the us is doing a big push on things like the imf and the world bank. this is a chance to really showcase biden and the us and the west as an alternative to china when it comes to being a financial partner for the global south. thanks to emily harding for that. let's bring on the panel. andrew, good to see you, and bryan as well. bryan we start with you, get the us perspective, the 620, the world's attention, spending lots of time, picking through the meetings, the sideline meetings, there are words that come out, from a us

of china. interesting. 0k, not necessarily a uk perspective, but andrew, but maybe more so, what are you keeping your eye out for over this weekend? saturday and sunday is the actual summit. absolutely. i think it is interesting as watch —— as much as what is not said, is what is, as we had to emily, the tensions that exist over ukraine, they won't be a joint communique there, india has a struggling —— straddled both sides, trying to keep companies on side despite countries on site. there are issues around food security and energy security where there will be some interesting debates, we have seen inflation pick up in india recently and obviously they have had some limiting of exports which could have a knock—on effect of global food prices as well, alongside other geopolitical issues like the drought in canada and the ongoing ukraine russia war, having an impact on food security as well. there will be lots of issues around that as well, i suspect. maybe something on climate change as well. i would not expect much more than one word, but it is always interesting to see the kind of interactions between world leaders, the tone of those debates, and we haven't really talked about rishi sunak yet. it will be a diversion from what has been a bad week from him with the school going back, the crumbling schools, and a chance for him to look more statesman—like. we has big

yesterday morning, strapped to the bottom of a delivery van. still no sightings of him, but these are new pictures of the suspected delivery van, that white van, this is the moment the police searched that vehicle, this is in london, upper richmond road, just a few miles away from wandsworth prison. it's understood that it was at this point police found straps underneath the van. that is where the theory comes from that the escaped man strapped himself underneath that delivery van in order to get out. take a look at these pictures, look at the top left, there is the van, this is from a cctv. it is making its way, that fan, down the road. this is a little earlier, it is thought, we don't know whether the suspect is underneath the van or not at that point. this is a clear image, this was released by the police themselves, the met police in london, we should suggest the net stress we should stress that there is no suggested involvement of the driver of the vehicle. when a prisoner escapes — what happens? we asked simon harding — a former counter terrorism officer — to take us through the first hours and days of what a nationwide manhunt looks like. in the first hour, the police will be looking for that quick win to try and find him as quickly as possible. that would come straightaway with the cctv that is inside the prison and also outside the prison. local officers in the wandsworth area and probably other areas would come to help to try and find him, and then of course, the counterterrorism police who are responsible for him, who are the people taking him to court for the offences he has committed, would be involved. the presumption is that he has no money and nothing else with him to be able to travel. so they will monitor the 999 system to see if there have been any incidents in that vicinity at that time. for example, he's taken a car by force or robbed somebody, whatever it might be, in an ability to get either clothing or finance, whatever it might be. in the first 2a hours, officers who are looking for him would be looking for associates, looking for somebody who may even be helping him or supporting him in his escape. they will look at family and friends and speak to them, also to try and coax him back in if he makes contact with them, to try and say to him, give yourself up. a manhunt has been launched... when you don't necessarily know where he's gone because you're waiting for things to happen and waiting for intelligence to come back, you can use the media and that media appeal to the public, to help you. he escaped in the early hours of the morning, so going through the day, he had quite a number of hours before the hours of darkness, for example. the presumption is really that he's going to have to put his head down at some stage. he will have to find somewhere to go to sleep. if he hasn't got anyone helping him do that, then he is likely to find an area where he is out of the view of the public. there is plenty of woodland around that area as you go away from that part of london, so they will be searching with helicopters with heat—seeking ability to identify if anybody might be sleeping rough. in week one, as they've gathered cctv and more intelligence, they will be looking at whether or not he was supported before the escape and then potentially supported afterwards as well. there isn't going to be a safe place for him in the uk, so his intention will be to get away. of course, if he isn't supported, how does he get out of the country? he's going to have to look at those methods, almost similar to those he deployed to get out of the prison itself, looking at a lorry to get into the back or strapping himself underneath a lorry again to get out of the country. these are things, in desperation, that he's going to have to do. 0ur our thanks to simon harding there, former counterterrorism officer, talking us through what happens in those first hours, days, of a search. we bring back the panel. andrew, this story dominating the uk news agenda right now. of course, it is a police issue, but of course it is also a political issue as well. absolutely, there has been a lot of concern over the last decade about cuts in the prison service, we heard from the general secretary of the prison 0fficers' association, the trade union that represents proven track prison officers about the number of staff working at that prison, how understaffed it is, i think there are supposed to be a compliment of 120, and it was down to 60 or 70, a significant reduction in what should be the staffing levels there. they have cut back on perimeter checks, they have cut back on excel inspections, what are known as fabric checks, of the cells, so there have been some quite big cuts in the prison services in the uk which have enabled possibly enabled, this person to escape. it is quite a remarkable story. if anyone has seen the robert de niro version, strapping to the underside of a vehicle, it is like something out of a film. this is a serious issue, and is due to the cutbacks in the prison service. almost certainly. when i listen to prison officers are saying, this isjust a matter of time, especially those living in the vicinity of wandsworth prison might be quite concerned as well. the investigation _ be quite concerned as well. the investigation is _ be quite concerned as well. the investigation is under way, and i'm sure, in the time, we will be learning what did happen. bryan, what did you make of it?- learning what did happen. bryan, what did you make of it? people try to

to you. for the moment, though, around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. let's look at some other stories making news. a man has been arrested in connection with a homophobic attack outside a nightclub in south london in which two men were stabbed. the men were taken to hospital following the incident in clapham in august and have since been discharged. police say a 19—year—old man was arrested on thursday on suspicion of grievous bodily harm and remains in police custody. five former metropolitan police officers have pleaded guilty to sending grossly offensive racist messages on whatsapp. some of the messages, which came to light after an investigation carried out by the bbc�*s newsnight programme, were about the duchess of sussex and the prime minister rishi sunak. all of the men had already retired from the police. the conservative mp, chris pincher is standing down — after losing his appeal against an eight—week suspension from the commons over groping allegations, which allegedly took place at a club away from the houses of parliament. the decision will trigger a by—election in his tamworth constituency in staffordshire. you're live with bbc news. china's exports have dropped for a fourth month in a row. less demand around the world. export fell 8.8% in august compared with a year earlier. imports dropped 7.3%. not as bad as expected and an improvement on the previous month. earlier, i spoke to david woo, former imf economist and wall street investment strategist. i asked him what he made of these numbers. what is really going on here, is actually if we look at the underlying trend, there is no sign whatsoever that we have seen deterrent in this down trend of chinese exports. so the downtrend is going to continue? there is going to be weakened global demand for chinese goods? that will continue? i think it is more thanjust basically weakended global demand for chinese goods because i think what we cannot necessarily disentangle are two effects, one is a global effect which has to do with the global downturn for manufactured goods like electronics, this is globally. but at the same time, there is absolutely no doubt that trade war, offshoring, near—shoring is taking a toll on chinese exports. you can see this clearly in the us data. if you look at the share of us imports coming from china, last month, they fell to just 11.6%. that is the lowest level since 2006. that is 18 years ago! that was literally at the beginning of globalisation. from that point of view there is no doubt, the us is importing much less from china, china has been trying to boost exports to other countries like asian countries, but suddenly the increase there is not enough to offset the big drop. we'll bring in our panel of course, because what happens in china affects all of us around the world. bryan, we start with you, the idea of disentangling, the overall slowdown of growth, demand, around the world, on the one hand, and on the world, on the one hand, and on the second—hand, us moving away from china. what do you make of the balance of those two factors? i balance of those two factors? i think the geopolitics is having a

decade's time. it is a major importer in the world, the export tee times as much as the us, which is the next biggest exporter, around the world, so some of this i think is your correspondent said, is about the downturn in global demand. which is a general thing, and then also the us factors, which are partly about the economic protection that has been put in against china, the trade sanctions and so on, but it is also about the investing in domestic demand, through the demand that biden has put in, through subsidy companies in particular. the soft protection isn't there, but the hard protection of trade sanctions... if you look at the chinese economy, is forecast to grow 5.5% this year by the imf, 4.5 next year, it is still doing better than every 67 country. you have to put this in context as well. china's rate of growth will slow down a bit, it is still doing reasonably well, and in the last couple of years, china has installed more solar and wind capacity than the us and europe combined. it also has a domestic market as well that is playing in. imports there have also dropped only slightly slower rate. some of that is for providing for exports, but it will be interesting to see how this plays out over the longer term. clearly, what is going on in the us is having an effect on china, but we also shouldn't lose the wider picture that china's economy is still doing pretty well when we look at 67 countries. still doing pretty well when we look at g7 countries.— at g7 countries. bryan, let's have a look at the — at g7 countries. bryan, let's have a look at

moment. we want to focus now back in the uk because the government has announced it will be rejoining the european union �*s science research programme after a post—brexit bilateral deal. it left the 100 billion euro — or £85 billion — programme when it left the eu bloc. the president of the european commission, ursula von der leyen, has said, "the eu and uk are key strategic partners and allies, and today's agreement proves that point. "we will continue to be at the forefront of global science and research". let's bring back in the panel, andrew fischer, and brian manza. what do you make of this, andrew? is what do you make of this, andrew? i3 good for university is a major funderfor the uk, we have claimed backin funderfor the uk, we have claimed back in grants that we have one, these institutions, universities, bid for money from this and actually the uk has really dominated, often being the biggest recipient of money from the horizon project, so it is really good news. they often vie with germany for this funding. it is really good news for the industry as well. there is lots of collaboration with uk universities and counterparts across the borders, so it is very good in that respect, but the problem is it has taken it two years which is unnecessary. i remember when i was working for jeremy corbyn that he was raising this with theresa may in 2018, our team were widely raising it with their opposite conservative ministers throughout 2018 and 2019. this could have been done and sorted. unfortunately we have had the wrangling over the northern ireland protocol, over the last two years, where we have been locked out of this deal, but it is good news that we are back. it has funded lots of big projects, like the large collider, they got funding from the horizon project, which is probably the biggest part of it. i think it is a good news story, but it should have come earlier.— is a good news story, but it should have come earlier. bryan, this kind of research. _ have come earlier. bryan, this kind of research, high-tech, _ have come earlier. bryan, this kind of research, high-tech, science, i of research, high—tech, science, crucialfor of research, high—tech, science, crucial for all economies? of research, high—tech, science, crucialfor all economies? i of research, high-tech, science, crucial for all economies? i think it took too _ crucial for all economies? i think it took too long. _ crucial for all economies? i think it took too long. i _ crucial for all economies? i think it took too long. i spoke -
