hour. good evening and welcome to bbc news. 11th iith people have been injured in central london after a car mounted a pavement and struck pedestrians outside the natural history museum in kensington. police have confirmed it was an accident, but it led to police locking down the area popular with tourists. nine of the people injured have been taken to hospital. the incident took place on exhibition road that passes next to the natural history museum, and other popular tourist attractions including the science museum and victoria and albert. the helicopter is over the scene and this is the scene live. you can see a police cordon in place and clearly a number of officers are still on the scene. we heard from witnesses how quickly police moved into place once they arrived in south kensington. our correspondent richard lister is close to the scene in south kensington. richard, a number of developments in the past few minutes. indeed, in the last few minutes. indeed, in the last few minutes the police have confirmed that the incident was a road traffic accident, which i'm sure will come asa accident, which i'm sure will come as a relief to everybody here and anybody watching, because clearly, given the times we live in, there was concern it could have been more serious, but to reiterate, the met police confirm officially this was a road traffic accident and in the past few minutes the london ambulance service gave more details about the people hurt in the incident. they said they treated in 11 incident. they said they treated in ii at the scene and took nine hospital and you can see the ambulance service vehicle leaving now. they took nine people to hospital and say most of those hurt had suffered head or leg injuries. they did not say how seriously any of them were hurt but the inference is that the nine taken to hospital, head and leg injuries only. they did not say anybody was seriously hurt. this incident, which has taken up a lot of time this afternoon, a lot of resources from the emergency services and concern it might have been more serious, has been confirmed as a road traffic accident. it is worth reflecting on the speed of the response from the police. they did not know what they would find when they got to the scene after initial reports they received of some sort of collision. that is right, unfortunately, now, when we look on social media about reports of a car allegedly ploughing into pedestrians in a public space, of course people now tend to think the worst because it has happened so many times, not just the worst because it has happened so many times, notjust in the uk but in other parts of the world. now of course we know with the benefit of the confirmation from the police this was simply a road traffic accident, an unfortunate incident in which nine people were taken to hospital and ii which nine people were taken to hospital and 11 people treated by the london ambulance service at the scene. the london ambulance service at the scene. but you cannot be too careful. of course we would expect the police to immediately assume terrorism is one of the possible outcomes with an incident like this and if it is terrorism they have to start thinking about whether anybody assisted, whether the incident is the end of it, whether they need to cast a wider net for other incidents timed to take place simultaneously but thankfully that is not the case, this is an accident. no more than that. police are happy to confirm that. police are happy to confirm that after several hours of investigation this afternoon. richard, thank you very much for the update. more detailfrom richard, thank you very much for the update. more detail from the london ambulance service about the ii people injured. apparently, ii patients treated, which the service confirmed. this is the extra detail. we are told mostly for leg and head injuries and the director of operations confirming that nine people were taken to hospital. joining me is leslie carter, who was driving down cromwell road when the incident happened. i hope you have been able to hear the updates that the police said this was a traffic accident and not a terror incident. but tell us what you saw. so, we we re but tell us what you saw. so, we were driving back from shopping and were driving back from shopping and we saw a lot of people running away and wondered what was going on and we turned around and we saw the black car kind of pushed in between two other cars and assumed, assuming that it has been pushed off the road, gone off the road, and we saw a gentleman with a child in his hands. restraining a man, holding him down. and a couple of other residents came over and they helped the other guy hold him down because obviously he was holding his child. then we went to drive away and within minutes, the police were there. there was a quick response. we are very proud of our police force. astonishing detail, and man with a child in his arms was involved in the effort to detain the car driver? yes, he was amazing. he stayed from the beginning to the end. you have mentioned that the speed of the police response, not knowing the precise nature of the incident at that stage, they had to respond quickly and exercise extreme caution? of course. we were very impressed. we had a police van followed by a police car and ambulance within probably 3—4 minutes of seeing that and we were extremely impressed, very proud. obviously, notwithstanding the injuries people have suffered, it is obviously a relief to hear this was a traffic accident and nothing more sinister. absolutely. it is refreshing to hear that and very calming. leslie, thank you for talking to us. leslie carter, driving close to the museum when the incident happened. we are going to move incident happened. we are going to m ove o nto incident happened. we are going to move onto other news. there are renewed fears for the future of jobs at the bombardier aerospace factory in belfast. the us government has announced a further increase in tariffs on planes made by the company, making it prohibitively expensive to import them. the united states claims bombardier has received unfair financial support from the uk and canada — where the planes are assembled. our business correspondent joe lynam reports. bombardier and its predecessor, short‘s, have been at the heart of the manufacturing economy in belfast for decades. 4000 skilled workers make high—tech composite wings in a province which doesn't have many of those jobs. but over the past fortnight, potential american tariffs have placed a huge question mark over their future. now, in a new blow, the us commerce department has slapped a further 80% tariff on bombardier planes, meaning all of its largest aircraft could soon face import duties of up to 300% in america. it looms very large over these workers and it's time for the british government to actually step up for british workers. we see it within britain being bullied now. the british government being bullied by boeing. the eu needs to step in because of the fact they're being bullied now, too. it needs to stop, it needs to stop now. and for bombardier workers it's a waiting game. we know we've still got a job to do. and keep our fingers crossed we are keeping that one down and keep working away you know. it'll affect the whole company, probably. whatever the outcome is. and this is the plane that the americans object to. the c series is assembled in canada with wings made and sent from belfast. but the americans claim it has received $1 billion in subsidies from the canadians, which allows it to undercut boeing in bidding for contracts. this whole row puts the government, especially the business department, in something of a bind. it is kept in power by the dup. but boeing, which initiated these tariffs, employs even more people, almost 19,000 people, elsewhere in the uk. and it's building a new factory in sheffield. we have an international regulatory regime which has worked extremely well. these type of measures threaten competition and innovation and as a consequence that's bad news for consumers wherever they are. these 300% tariffs are recommendations by one branch of the us government. if there is no solution, though, they will come into force in february. in that time, the nails of thousands of workers here, and trade negotiators on both sides of the atlantic, will be bitten down to the quick. joe lynam, bbc news. stephen kelly isjoining me, representing the manufacturing industry in northern ireland. do you regard this as bullying? absolutely. last week's announcement of the 220% tariff we thought was nonsense and to compound it yesterday with another 80% moves us into the realms of fiction in our regards. these are importantjob of fiction in our regards. these are important job is not just for belfast but in the united states as well. the aircraft engines are made in the united states and a lot of the components of the played are made in the united states so if this was protecting american jobs and america first, the commerce department should have come to a different conclusion. this means this is an effort by bowing to take the plane off the market and potentially jeopardise the future the plane off the market and potentiallyjeopardise the future of bombardier. you say from an american perspective this is illogical, even though some might say president trump when he came into the white house said he would put america first and on the face of it it looks like it is about protectionism and protecting american jobs. on the face of it, but the reality, more than 50% of the aircraft is manufactured in north america and you wonder what protectionism is at play. our view has always been and since this began, is that this is an effort by boeing to try to take this aeroplane off the market for any future competitive reasons and not necessarily for the deal they have done already. that said, are you reasonably confident that when this goes through, through the appeal process , goes through, through the appeal process, bombardierwill goes through, through the appeal process, bombardier will come out the other side in a better position? we are hopeful. i hope the nonsense we have hardware effectively the us authorities, making $1 million a seat aircraft, it shows they have gone beyond what would ordinarily be seen as gone beyond what would ordinarily be seen as reasonable behaviour and what we need now. sorry to interrupts, $1 million a seat, is that effectively, what this tariff means, each seat in the plane costs effectively? absolutely, the aircraft is $25 million. the tariffs bring it to the region of $100 million and it is a hundred seat aircraft, not one of the big jets boeing sell around the world. effectively it is a $1 million a seat aircraft. that is a nonsense scenario that bombardier is left with. what we need now is with the prime minister and the business secretary and parties here in northern ireland coming together and acting collectively as the canadian government have done and have been forceful with the united states on this claim by boeing. which brings me to the final point, we have reported on the concerns of workers employed by bombardier in belfast and jobs employed by bombardier in belfast andjobs in employed by bombardier in belfast and jobs in the supply chain, which could be affected by this. do you feel that's the response from the government here and on an eu level has not been robust enough. we do not believe it is robust enough. to give context, these jobs and supporting jobs would be the equivalent of 36,000 jobs in the west midlands. it is enormous in northern ireland and strategically important. we need all to ensure these jobs are protected. stephen kelly, ceo of manufacturing northern ireland. normal. the headline. 11 people have been injured in an accident in london after a car mounted the pavement and struck pedestrians. police say it is not terror related. one person has been arrested. and there are renewed fears for the future of jobs at the bombardier aircraft factory in belfast after the us government announced a further increase in ta riffs announced a further increase in tariffs on parts of planes made by the canadian company. we have had an updated statement from the met police about the incident outside the natural history museum which police are now confirming as we have told you, was a traffic accident. they say that 11 people were found at the scene with bearing injuries and the london ambulance service said mainly head and leg injuries and the met said nine people have been taken to hospital, including the man who was detained by police. the net says the people who were injured, those injuries are not believed to be life—threatening or life changing. they go into detail about the man detained and say he is currently under arrest and is in custody at a north london police station. they confirmed the incident is a road traffic investigation as not terrorist related. that is the latest update from the police. tens of thousands of people have rallied in the spanish capital madrid — calling for national unity after last sunday's disputed referendum for catalan independence. the spanish government has said it will not allow catalonia to break away. last weekend hundreds of people were injured as national police attempted to disrupt the vote. from madrid, james reynolds reports. demonstrators in spain's capital have chosen to display their colours. thousands of people in madrid came out to say that this country should not be broken into pieces, and that catalonia must give up its plans to declare independence. by contrast, these demonstrators in barcelona's santjaume square stripped themselves of spanish or even catalan colours. they're from a new campaign group called shall we talk? i am here personally because i think that we need a dialogue. politicians haven't been doing theirjob really well. our sole objective is that people, above all politicians, talk to each other. we've seen for too long a confrontation between both sides and we think now the people have to show that we want dialogue. a similar demonstration in favour of dialogue was held here in the southern city of alicante. the middle ground in spain is now trying to make itself heard. police in russia have detained more than a hundred opposition activists for taking part in a wave of anti—kremlin protests. the demonstrations were in support of opposition leader alexei navalny — who is serving a 20—dayjail term for violating rules on public meetings. a suspended criminal conviction means he can't run for next year's presidential election, which navalny claims was politically motivated. russian president vladimir putin is widely expected to run for the fourth term. our correspondent is in moscow and sent this update. these are extraordinary scenes for russia. this crowd is heading down russia's main street to the kremlin and they are chanting: slogans against president putin, calling him a thief and corrupt. they are now heading to the kremlin. the riot police are accompanying them but at the moment they are not intervening, they are escorting them down the street. you are not afraid to be here? we have no choice, we must be here. we have no choice, we must be here. we have no future with putin. the only chance for us in this country, not to leave abroad is him. the point is to leave abroad is him. the point is to support alexei navalny‘s bid for the presidency. officially he is not allowed to run because he has a criminal sentence but he says he has support and wants to prove that by being allowed to run. they are heading to the underpass and the police have moved into blocked the way through to red square and the kremlin and have done the same above ground, trying to keep protesters as possible from the seat of power. perhaps the strangest thing about this is it appears to have ended without mass arrests. the riot police normally moving quickly in situations like this but this time the police seem to have stood back and let the protest take place. the foreign secretary borisjohnson has become the latest senior party figure to voices support for theresa may. he said we have just had an election. get behind the prime minister. he said ordinary punters thought her speech was good and anyone can have a cold. he told mps to circle the wagons, turn the fire on corbyn and talk about nothing except our great policies and what we can do for the country. it comes after the leader of the scottish conservatives ruth davidson told critics of the prime minister to put up critics of the prime minister to put up or shut critics of the prime minister to put up orshut up. critics of the prime minister to put up or shut up. she is seen as a contender to lead the party in westminster. grant shapps has received plenty of advice from colleagues, with some mps and peers literally telling him to shut up. most of the party strongly support... i think we have two roads we can go down. we can behave like knuckleheads, like grant shapps did today... knuckleheads, really? well, what else was it? it was just trying to act against the prime minister. or we can unite, support the prime minister. ruth davidson has added her voice to the chorus of cutting comments, suggesting that if the plot against the prime minister had been serious, then it would have been led by someone more serious. but she had a wider message for party members, too, advising them to settle down. jeremy corbyn is eminently beatable. not only that, we have just beaten him. yes, i know it can be daunting, when you've got people chanting in the streets the name of somebody else, but that does not mean you don't knuckle down, get stuck in, show the drive, energy, the ambition for the country. make sure people understand what it is that you are trying to do in politics, why you are trying to do it, how it is going to benefit their lives. that is what the party should be getting on with right now. she acknowledged that there would be instability if the prime minister were toppled, but pledged her own support now and in the future. there has been a very public closing of the ranks at the top of the party following the perceived threat from mr shapps. he doesn't have enough support to force a leadership contest. but, one of his fellow rebels, a former cabinet minister, suggested privately that the prime minister was just one crisis away from losing herjob. iain watson, bbc news. danish police say they have found the head and legs of a swedish journalist, two months after she disappeared after interviewing an inventor on board his homemade submarine. peter madsen is alleged to have killed 30—year—old kim wall, after she boarded his submarine on the 10th of august. her headless torso was found in the water off copenhagen nearly two weeks later. madsen says wall died by accident after a heavy hatch cover struck her on the head. some councils say they're not getting the money they need to carry out urgent safety improvements on tower blocks following the grenfell disaster. a number of local authorities in england and wales say requests for government funds for refurbishment are being rejected because they're deemed nonessential. angus crawford explains. it was a fire no one thought possible. flames engulfing the building, spreading through the cladding in minutes. raising urgent questions about blocks like these in billingham. or here on merseyside. fire tests showed more than 100 weren't safe. some residents had to be evacuated, leaving them fearful, confused and frustrated. four miles from grenfell, councillor adam hoge says these flats need millions of pounds of repairs. for blocks such as those across westminster and across the country, there needs to have sprinklers retrofitted. for now the government won't pay, leaving the council to foot the bill. nothing is coming from government, and that means fewer affordable homes will be built and residents will be dealing with poorer repairs for the next 20—30 years. the horror of what happened here exposed dangers in buildings across the country. rightly or wrongly, some councils believe the government made a pledge to pay for all the work to make tower blocks safe. after the fire, public anger mounted, and ministers promised action. whatever it takes we will take the expert advice, do whatever it takes to make those buildings safe, or make those people safe. whatever it takes. we have to be led by the experts but there can be no short cuts to this. but today the government said building owners are responsible for funding measures designed to make a building safe. and urged councils to come forward if they had funding concerns. it was a national tragedy. but who now will pay to make sure it never happens again? ports have been closed and evacuations ordered in the central united states as the storm forecast a category two intensifies. hurricane nate has caused widespread devastation in central america. 25 people were killed in costa rica, nicaragua and honduras. nearly 400,000 people are without running water in costa rica. here, people in the uk could be treated to the site of shooting stars when the draconid meteor shower appears. it is one of two meteor showers that can be seen in october. at least, we hope we can see them. this is someone who can tell us how the skies will look tonight. thank you for managing the nation's expectations. as you will see and as you have experienced today, there has been a of cloud. not all doom and gloom. one or two favoured spots particularly in scotland and the east of the pennines did well. however, there is the rub of it in the south—west where you have had cloud throughout the day. and cloud through the heart of the british isles. the weather front producing the odd piece of rain. if the cloud p°p5 the odd piece of rain. if the cloud pops there will be a lot of light because there will be a big moon. good luck with your chances. rain coming in across scotland, northern ireland and northern england overnight. i am ireland and northern england overnight. iam hopeful on ireland and northern england overnight. i am hopeful on sunday that there may be more chances for more people to see sunshine. i know i sound like a politician, but that is the way of it. it is not without its cloud and sufficient cloud across northern ireland, coming the wales, northwest, midlands, perhaps greater manchester with the odd spot of rain. as the day gets going, some of rain. as the day gets going, some of the cloud will pop away and overall there will be a better chance of many more of you seem decent brightness if not full on sunshine. across the south—west we have cloud and rain. also running out of the north of wales and north midlands. later, more rain in northern ireland and western scotland. if you are travelling home after the weekend, if you are out and about, there is a fair amount of dry weather. on monday, much the same. perhaps with less in the way of cloud in some areas and a lot of dry weather. not a bad day for the time of year but a sign of change on the wane. across the north—west of scotla nd the wane. across the north—west of scotland later in the day and on tuesday, this is the side of more meaningful rain on this active weather front. i do meaningful rain on this active weatherfront. i do not think it will linger in any particular spot, although it runs out of steam as we get into the far south—eastern quarter but tuesday, when the rain has gone through, it will be a half decent day. good luck with the meteors. you might need it. good evening. you're watching bbc news. our main headlines... 11 people have been injured
