And then moving forward to today, police were called by the Ambulance Service shortly before 1 40am this morning. The lorry was then found at waterglade Industrial Park in Eastern Avenue, grays. The Prime Minister has tweeted about the discovery of the bodies. Hes said. Ellis whitehouse is a reporter with the essex echo. Hes at the scene in grays. An absolutely horrific discovery. Do we know how the Emergency Services, because it was the Ambulance Service we understand, first at the scene, how were they alerted to this . We understand, first at the scene, how were they alerted to thi57m we understand, first at the scene, how were they alerted to this . It is not something i am aware of, u nfortu nately. As not something i am aware of, unfortunately. As everyone else did, we got the immediate update this morning and i were sent straight down here. All i know is that they we re down here. All i know is that they were discovered earlier today as far asi were discovered earlier today as far as i can tell, and what you have said on air, they were from bulgaria and entered the country at holyhead. Iam and entered the country at holyhead. I am trying to find out a little more, but there will be a briefing for all media at 11 30pm from the g rays for all media at 11 30pm from the grays Police Station. I am already being told also being told by the Police Press Team that will be allowed into the cord and at around 12 30pm to see what more is going on in their investigations. I have been told there will be some restricted access for media, which will be organised by the police, and we will be accompanied by police at all times. I want to show you the scene, iamon times. I want to show you the scene, iam on my times. I want to show you the scene, i am on my laptop, so i will show you what is going on. We are in the Industrial Estate, the Police Cordon is there, and around me you have more of the worlds media, also trying to find out what is going on. At the moment, we are just waiting to hearfor more information from the police, as you are, and we will update as much as we can when we can, buti update as much as we can when we can, but i hope the Media Briefing in 25 minutes will give us some more a nswe is. In 25 minutes will give us some more answers. We have also been showing oui answers. We have also been showing our viewers an aerial shot of the Industrial Estate complex, which you can see a lorry with a white container, the lorry in question. I am asking you for something you might not be privy to, but have you been able to establish at all, how long has the lorry actually been there . Did it enter this country on saturday, do we know . Do we had any do we have any sense whether it was driven directly to this Industrial Estate in grays, or if it arrived more recently than that . U nfortu nately we have arrived more recently than that . Unfortunately we have no information about the timeframe yet, all we know is what we have been told this morning, and as far as the timetable goes, morning, and as far as the timetable o morning, and as far as the timetable goes, we do not know anything and we are waiting for that information. The police havent told us what time they discovered it or what state the bodies are in, but only that they are identifying them. From the gaps in the cord and, i can see the lorry your helicopter picked up, and can see some kind of tent as well, there are people coming out, and it looks like some kind of investigation has concluded for the time being. The cordoned area remains in place. Concluded for the time being. The cordoned area remains in placem there any suggestion as to what nationality or nationalities the victims are . Unfortunately not, all we know is that the lorry is from bulgaria and they entered the country in holyhead. I cannot speculate on any nationalities at the moment, i am afraid. They could be from anywhere in europe, as far as im aware at the moment. I am hoping the police will give us that information in the next few overs, and we will be on tenterhooks waiting for it. If is a sense of reaction in the area to this grim discovery. It is horrendous, it is not something i have encountered on this scale in a six. The port here is the main one, and there is a lot of activity here. A lot of business is affected, they cannot get to work our buildings. There is a diversion in place and police are supporting the businesses, but there is a sense of com plete businesses, but there is a sense of complete surprise and shock that something this horrendous has been discovered minutes away from where people live. It is shocking. I can understand the concern from people, but the police are sure to give us is much reassurance as possible and how this will be handled, fingers crossed that the people responsible for this can be apprehended as soon as possible, we will wait and see. Ellis, thank you very much for that, ellis, thank you very much for that, ellis whitehouse, a reporter with the essex echo, reporting on this horrific discovery in essex in the early hours of this morning, the bodies of 39 people, 38 adults and one teenager discovered in the lorry container. We are expecting a Police Statement to update everyone on the latest information that they have, and when that happens we will bring it to you. 0n on to the days other story. Brexit now, downing street has indicated that the Prime Minister will push for a general election if the eu agrees to delay brexit until january. Lets go straight to westminster now. Joanna gosling is there. Good morning, i need to. Yes, downing street has signalled that borisjohnson will step downing street has signalled that Boris Johnson will step up downing street has signalled that borisjohnson will step up his effo rts borisjohnson will step up his efforts to try to force a general election if eu leaders approve an extension to brexit of up to three months, but we do not know when the response will come regarding that. Possibly today, possibly later in the week. Also, would borisjohnson be able to get two thirds approval of mps foran be able to get two thirds approval of mps for an election where that to be the case . This all comes after last nights commons faults, where mps last nights commons faults, where m ps voted last nights commons faults, where mps voted in favour of the governments Withdrawal Agreement bill, but then voted against the fast track parliamentary timetable, with many arguing there just was not enough time to debate the details of the bill in three days. So, in yet another eventful brexit week, where are we now and what happens next . Borisjohnson has paused to brexit bill after mps derailed his plan to rush the deal through the commons. Parliament had been due to debate the bill over the next couple of days but instead will return to discussing the contents of the queens speech. Eu leaders now have to consider whether to grant a delight to the 31st of october brexit deadline, and decide what length it should be. They could agree an extension with a maximum mandate, but with the flexibility for the uk to leave early if a deal is ratified sooner. A longer brexit deal could mean the Prime Minister pushing for a general election to try to restore the conservative pa rtys try to restore the conservative partys majority in the commons. We can go live now to our political editor, norman smith. Norman, eight days until brexit day, nominally, but as the clock likely to stop now . We do not know what is going to happen because it is possible that the eu could say, well, we are not going to give you another extension, this has been going on long enough. That certainly seems to be the view in france, in which case we would presumably have to leave with no deal on october 31, but i think the working assumption is eu leaders will give us an extension and one thatis will give us an extension and one that is long enough for them all to be handed back to borisjohnson to decide what to do next. For the ball to be handed back. The impression we are getting from number ten is that they want to press ahead with winter general election to break the deadlock. They are view is that there is no point going round and round in parliament, and if they tried to push Boris Johnsons deal through again, it doesnt matter if you gave mps 30 days or three months, they still wouldnt do because they believe most mps are simply opposed to any brexit deal. So their favoured strategy now is to try to trigger a general election. Have a listen to the justice secretary, general election. Have a listen to thejustice secretary, robert buckland. Parliament has made this decision, and parliament has asked for an extension from the eu, then that we are waiting of course to hear what other eu leaders say about the situation, but we want to crack on, and if we cant crack on then, you know, regrettably, it does seem that a general election is the only way to sort this impasse out, however cold and inhospitable the next month might be. However calmer voices and government are saying, lets draw breath and think about this. They suggest that if borisjohnson think about this. They suggest that if Boris Johnson put think about this. They suggest that if borisjohnson put his deal back to mps he might actually wind it. How so . Last night, before the vote on the timetable emotion he actually secured a majority of 30, on the broad principles behind the bill, and they argue if you came back, agreed a slightly longer period for mps to mull over the legislation, he could perhaps get it through. And just listen to the Northern Ireland secretary, Gillian Smith this morning, in front of the Northern Ireland select committee, sounding much more cautious about the idea of a general election and suggesting they should try again. What the government, i hope, will do now and will continue, and we intend to continue to listen to mp5 from across the house, i would like. You know, we havent got the votes we want from Northern Ireland mps. What i want to do is listen to Northern Ireland mp5, get a Programme Motion that is to the satisfaction of a majority of people in this house, and resolve this situation. I think that is where i feel our responsibility lies and we can Work Together to address many of these issues and ensure this bill is completed. There is a real debate going on in government now about whether they should persist with a general election or try to represent the bill. We may get an idea where the Prime Ministers liza Prime Ministers questions. Lets now have a discussion about this is there any point at all of re presenting this to parliament . think so. If it is considering all consequences. Think so. If it is considering all consequences. If people can examine the actual deal rather than the fantasies in the referendum campaign. If youre prepared to give it more time, why not say yes to the bill in principle last night, as a lot of mps did, and say we want more time . Because we wouldnt have had more time to scrutinise it if we had just voted it through without adding the caveat that we wanted more time to look at the consequences. But thatis to look at the consequences. But that is exactly what happened last night, mps said yesterday agreement but noted the timetable, so i dont understand then why you didnt do that . The Prime Minister can now bring it back, the point as we said we didnt think presenting it to parliament with less than 24 hours notice on seeing what is in it, this is something that will last for generations, so giving us less than 24 hours to see it and then saying we only have three days to consider something of this level of complexity, it wasnt long enough, so we complexity, it wasnt long enough, so we voted against the Programme Motion. Now the Prime Minister has the option to bring it back to parliament with a longer timetable to discuss it. When you look at the amount of time that has been given to consider other eu legislation of similar complexity, that has always been the case in the past, and he is trying to rush it through because he does not want amendments. That is one option, the other that he seems to be favouring is to say it doesnt matter how long mps have, they are not going to put this through, lets go to the country and potentially wina go to the country and potentially win a majority. And he could do that. Would you support an election if there was a motion for that . have already done that because i changed political party, so i felt if people were arguing they should have the final say on it, it was only right for people to have the final say on me as well. I hope the eu give us long enough to have a peoples fault or general election. My preference is for this to be separated off so we can look at the issue and do that through a peoples vote. I expect he could also call a general election, so we simply do not know where we are yet until we know what the exact extension is from the eu and what the Prime Ministers decision or leader of the opposition. Lots of unanswered questions. Sarah wollaston, thank you very much. We will hear from the Prime Minister in Prime Ministers questions at midday, and Jeremy Corbyn will be there on the opposite bench putting questions for labour. Whether we will get more answers is unclear, but we need to hearfrom the eu how they will respond to the request for an extension, which could come any time. I will hand you back to the studio. The headlines on bbc news. Police say 39 bodies have been found in a lorry container in essex the driver has been arrested. They were discovered in the early hours at an Industrial Park in grays. Borisjohnson will call for a general election if the eu proposes delaying brexit until january. Its after mps rejected his plans to get his brexit bill passed in three days.

Behind me is the entrance to a logistics company, the big blue metallic industrial unit to the left hand side. Not only is there a white and blue Police Cordon, but there is a green physical barrier which is stopping a lot of reporters with cameras trying to have a look inside. You can hear the traffic, which is trying to negotiate round the people and bystanders watching and cars parked around. I have heard the Police Helicopter overhead, there is a drone flying over the focal point of the investigation as well. Presumably that is operated by forensics. I can see white uniformed forensics. I can see white uniformed forensics officers and their fans in the midst of their investigation. It is quite chaotic here, and the amount of reporters is growing. We are waiting for a further Police Statement but have you been given any suggestions or hints as to the nationality of the victims . We only know that the lorry is believed to be from bulgaria, it arrived in wales presumably from ireland, where there is a ferry li
