A significant section of this estate had to be cleared of its residents this afternoon after heavily armed counterterrorism officers arrived to search one of the houses. Some residents believe they heard a drone before the raid began. Tonight, the house at the heart of the operation is still being pored over by forensic specialists. The hunt for the london tube bomber led this afternoon to this Surrey Council estate, and a mauve terrace house. Fearing an explosion during their search, counterterrorism officers evacuated residents from several streets around the property. There could be a bomb down there, and they were telling me i could go into my house, even though there could be a bomb. Im really scared. The couple living in the house being searched by the police, ron and pennyjones, are well known for fostering teenagers, including refugees. They were even given mbes by the queen. She has fostered generations and generations of children. Ive never known anyone more dedicated to the community and helping people.

The house was raided after Police Arrested an 18 year old man in the departure area of the port of dover just before 8am this morning. The port also had to be partially evacuated.

And we are still pursuing numerous lines of enquiry numerous lines of enquiry and at great pace. It seems that the improvised explosive device at Parsons Green station, a bomb in a bucket, had failed to go off properly. That bag is on fire. But it produced a sheet of flame in the carriage. 30 people ended up in casualty, and three were still in chelsea and Westminster Hospital this morning. But despite todays arrest, the official terrorism threat assessment in the uk is still at its highest level, with armed officers patrolling stations and busy venues Like Premier League football games. The threat level remains at critical, and there will be further investigations in part of the operation later today. We urge the public to remain vigilant but not alarmed, and we hope to come back with more news in due course. This has clearly been a good day for officers investigating the Parsons Green tube bomb, but they are not yet completely confident that the immediate threat is over. Studio daniel, how much do we know about the man arrested today . In terms of official information, very little. The police simply say they have arrested an 18 year old man. From information that can be gleaned from residents around the estate gives us some clues as to his likely identity. The elderly couple, penny and ron jones, likely identity. The elderly couple, penny and ronjones, who likely identity. The elderly couple, penny and ron jones, who fostered so many children here on this estate, was known to foster children from areas like the middle east and africa. Residents here say there had been a couple of foster boys that have been living with them recently, one of whom had been in quite a bit of trouble, had perhaps been arrested in the Parsons Green area a week or two ago. The suggestion is that he was reported missing by penny and ron jones that he was reported missing by penny and ronjones on friday morning. That is the link, that this person who might have been reported missing by penny and ronjones, could have been the same man arrested in dover on suspicion of putting the bomb on the train. Its been quite as accessible 36 hours for the metropolitan police, having started with a smouldering failed bomb and some cctv images, they seem to have their main suspect in custody, but we still have the threat level at critical, suggesting the police are not yet completely satisfied that they have all the people involved in this bombing in custody. Daniel sandford in surrey. Four people have been killed, and a woman and two children are critically ill in hospital, after an accident on the m5 motorway in gloucestershire. A lorry crashed through the central reservation, colliding with at least two cars. The motorway between almondsbury and falfield remains closed in both directions. Jon kay has sent this report. Horrific and harrowing the words from police tonight to describe the m5 crash. The motorway was busy when the lorry smashed through the central reservation into three lanes of oncoming traffic, hitting at least two other vehicles before ending up in a ditch. As well as the four people who died this afternoon, a woman and two children have life threatening injuries. The lorry driver was taken to hospital as a precaution. Eyewitnesses have told us that as soon as the accident had happened, people abandoned their cars on the carriageway and ran to the scene to help out, with those who were medically trained offering first aid to the injured. There was a senior gp, myself as a cardiologist. We scanned the area to see who was affected. We found the truck driver, who was ok, but someone was trapped in the car itself. And then we went to see the other people. There were two fatalities at least in the first car. There was loads of cars on the right hand side, loads of people helping out, but itjust looked like, when we got out of our car, it was clear that it was standing still. Itjust looked like pandemonium, but loads of people helping out. Loads of blues and twos came down. They were amazing. Police praised the courage of those who helped and have asked for patience while they investigate and clear the scene. The m5 is the main route between the midlands and the south west of england, and the crash has led to long delays and diversions. Although a small amount of traffic has been allowed past the night, the motorway is expected to remain shut in both directions for several hours. Jon kay, bbc news, south gloucestershire. Ryanair is facing a wave of complaints after announcing it is cancelling up to 50 flights a day for the next six weeks. The move could affect hundreds of thousands of people. Some passengers whove already flown abroad with ryanair, have been informed by text that their flight back to the uk has been cancelled. Our Business Correspondent joe lynam reports. Its europes busiest airline, but its grounding hundreds of its own planes. In doing so, its ruining holidays for thousands of its own customers, some of whom are now stranded overseas. Carrie ann woodgate is in poland and was e mailed by ryanair. The next flight out of here is next thursday. We cant get through to anyone at ryanair, we cant get through to a manager, live chat doesnt work, the app doesnt work. If you do ring ryanair on customer services, all you get is, were having a very large volume of calls. You betcha others have had to cancel their holidays. They text me the evening before the morning i was supposed to fly, so, yeah, pretty disappointed. Lost a holiday out of it, and lost some money as well. Ryanair says that air Traffic Control issues and weather, as well as a surge in pilots and cabin crew taking their holidays, is forcing it to ground up to 50 flights a day until the end of october. But thats still only 2 of the airlines entire flight schedule. But passengers set to fly with ryanair in the coming weeks simply dont know whether their flight will actually take off. It could be cancelled right up to the moment they arrive in the airport. The spin that ryanair is putting on this is saying, we want to make our timekeeping better, so were putting more planes on the ground in case something goes wrong. I must say, from the passengers perspective, someone like me who has got a booking on ryanair in the next few weeks, that looks like total tosh. Basically, its a massive administrative foul up. All their cabin crew and pilots are taking their holidays before the end of the year. So, what could you get back if youre affected . Eu rules say you are entitled to a new flight or full compensation if your flight is cancelled. The airline also has to cover your food and accommodation if youre stranded, and it should offer to pay for a flight with a rival airline if it cant get you on another flight to your final destination. All this means that these cancellations could cost ryanairs enigmatic boss michael 0leary up to £100 million. Its difficult to put a price, though, on damage to the airlines reputation. Joe lynam, bbc news. Borisjohnson has renewed the controversial claim that britain will save £350 million a week, by leaving the eu, which could be spent on the nhs. The foreign secretary set out his vision of what he called britains glorious future after brexit, in a newspaper article. Labour and the liberal democrats said government divisions had been laid bare, and accused mrjohnson of plotting a challenge to theresa mays leadership. 0ur political correspondence alex forsyth is with me. Why is he saying it now . This is a significant intervention, a long and in depth article in which borisjohnson makes the case for a bold and thriving brexit. Most controversially he does repeat the claim that leaving the eu will free up £350 million per week, despite that figure being widely discredited. 0n the brexit bill he says the uk must settle its accounts but shouldnt pay to access to the Customs Union and single market. He makes no mention of a transition deal. Many are seeing this as a direct challenge to theresa mays authority and its causing some anger in the tory party. But those close to borisjohnson say its not about that at all, hes just making the case for a positive brexit. Hes tweeted to say hes behind the Prime Minister, but he knows it will play out well with tory brexiteers, those who think the current leadership lacks vision, and it comes less than a week before the Prime Minister is due to give a big speech of her own on brexit. So there are plenty who think this isjust on brexit. So there are plenty who think this is just as much about Boris Johnsons think this is just as much about borisjohnsons political future as it is about the future of the country. Alex forsyth, thank you. In syria, Russian Troops have taken control of the eastern city of deir al zour, forcing out so called islamic state. The city had been held by is for three years.

Defeating is here would be a major victory for president assad. Life may be returning to this city, but theres still danger here. Steve rosenberg, bbc news, deir al zour. Now with all the sport, heres john watson at the bbc sport centre. England and west indies are contesting a one off twenty20 cricket match in durham.
