Police in essex have launched a Murder Investigation after a 12 year old boy was killed in a car collision near a school.

We will talk to our correspondent who is at the scene and will give us the latest update but there is an appeal on a social media for more information, pictures and images to be sent to the police. Vigils have been held in london and cambridge for those affected by the knife attack at London Bridge on friday. Boris johnson and Jeremy Corbyn stood side by side at guildhall in the city of london as tributes were paid to the two young people who were killed, jack merritt and saskia jones. Jack merritts father has again called for his sons death not be used to perpetuate hate. He said jack would be seething at it being exploited for an agenda that he gave his everything fighting against. Our special correspondent lucy manning reports. In the city where recently jack merritt and saskia jones had proudly held their degree certificates, hundreds stood silent. His parents and girlfriend surrounded by the support of others. This was what cambridge had meant to them. And this is what they meant to their friends and family. In the city of london, minutes from where they died, the noise of political arguments quietened. We come together this morning with condolences, but also in a spirit of defiance to say that london will never be cowed or intimidated by terrorism. The politicians have come to pay their respects, but Jack Merritts father has been clear he does not want his sons death to be politicised. He does not want this to mean politicians bringing in tougher sentencing. Bryonn bain was speaking at the event on friday when the attack happened. He had spent the day before with jack merritt at whitehall prison. He was inspiring, he had a bright light in his eyes and he was a young kid, but he was a cambridge grad, so he could have gone anywhere, done anything with his privileged education. He ran down when he heard shouting in the building. It felt like a war zone, it felt like total chaos, but these guys stepped up in the moment and did what few would do and put their own lives in harms way. He was brave in his own regard. He was the first line of defence, he was the first person to confront him at the door. I saw people die. I saw things that i have to live with. The first witness to see this from inside the building praised those who fought back. Many of the folks in that space would not be here today if it were not for these guys who did time in prison. And more details about the bravery of staff at the event chasing the attacker, including a Maintenance Man called andy. When the knife goes through his chest and the killer opened the door, he pauses for a moment and he is reluctant to spill all this out onto the pavement where members of the public are going to be facing the same problems, but he makes the right choice. The door is opened and out the terrorist falls. Like Jack Merritt Saskia Jones was trying to play her part in improving peoples lives. She was a lovely, lovely woman. She made me laugh, she called me on things, lots of people are scared of me. She was fearless, she was a warrior. She was going to change the world, maybe she will. Tonight Jack Merritts father said his son would if he could comment on his death be livid, seething that it was being used to perpetuate an agenda of hate. Feel his passion, he said, never give up his fight. The attacker usman khan was released from prison in december 2018 after serving half his sentence for terrorism offences. Questions are now being asked about the role of prison and the Probation Service and how effective programmes to deradicalise such people can be. Our Home Affairs Correspondent Daniel Sandford has more. After being convicted of a serious terrorist offence, usman khan spent eight years in prison. For another year, he was being closely supervised by police and probation but despite all those years in the hands of the state, he still came to london on friday and killed two young people. How did the system fail . Former governor ian acheson has become a specialist in how to deal with terrorist prisoners. He produced a report for the government which he feels was not properly implemented. He says the number of prisoners is relatively small. Theres only 221 of them. We have to get in there and start challenging and measuring if or how they could change. If they refuse to change or if they are demonstrating that they are pulling the wool over authorities eyes by pretending that they are changed, they are still dangerous and in my view they should be kept in prison indefinitely. After being convicted in 2012, khan did several counterterrorism courses whilst in prison. Though some people question their effectiveness. On release last year, he had to do further de radicalisation, what is called the desistance and disengagement programme. He wore a gps tag and had severe restrictions on where he could go and who he could see and although his behaviour seemed good, he was also still an active person of interest for mi5. Victims campaigner, harry fletcher, has been told that khan had been allowed to travel once before last week but last time had been accompanied by a police escort. Then he was invited by the institute to be a student at the course held last friday. He applied for permission to go and it was granted but this time he travelled alone without an escort. Usman khan was viewed as safe enough to come here to the event at fishmongers hall but he wasnt safe at all. He duped everyone and he came on a mission to kill. There will be a series of internal inquiries into what went wrong and detailed inquest into the deaths but everyone knows the deaths but everyone knows that there need to be changes now. Already two of the 7a terrorism prisoners who had been released back behind bars. And well find out how this story, and many others, are covered in tomorrows front pages at 10 40 and 11 30 this evening in the papers. Our guests joining me tonight are the political strategist, jo tanner, and miatta fahnbulleh, whos the chief executive of the new economics foundation.

An American Woman who says she was brought to britain when she was 17 to have sex with Prince Andrew is urging the British Public to stand beside her. Virginia giuffre has told bbc panorama she was trafficked for sex with the prince by his friend, the convicted sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein. Prince andrew says absolutely and categorically it never happened. Darragh macintyre reports. Virginia giuffre, formerly roberts, has already made allegations that have created a crisis for the royal family. At her first interview for british television, she described being trafficked to london by Jeffrey Epstein on a private jet in 2001 and then being introduced to Prince Andrew. She says, the introduction was made by epstein and his then girlfriend, the socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, at her london home before they all later went to a nightclub called tramp. Prince andrew says he has no recollection of what she describes but she says she remembers him. He asked me to dance. He is the most hideous dancer i have ever seen in my life. It was horrible and this guy was sweating all over me, his sweat, it was raining basically everywhere and i was just like, whoa, grossed out. But i knew i had to keep them happy. When they left the club, Virginia Giuffre said Ghislaine Maxwell instructed her to have sex with Prince Andrew. Later that evening, upstairs in Ghislaine Maxwells house, she said she did as she was told. In an interview with the bbc Newsnight Programme last month, the prince said he can absolutely and categorically say it never happened. Asked about a photograph that appears to show him with his arm around Virginia Giuffres waist in maxwells home, the prince said he didnt recall the photograph ever being taken and questioned whether it was his hand in the picture. But in the interview for bbc panorama which was recorded before the newsnight interview, Virginia Giuffre says that Prince Andrew cannot be telling the truth. The people on the inside are going to keep coming up with these ridiculous excuses like, the photo was doctored. I mean, come on, iam calling bs on this because that is what it is. Buckingham palace has responded to her interview saying the duke of york emphatically denies having any form of sexual contact or relationship with Virginia Roberts and that any claim to the contrary is false and without foundation. But Virginia Giuffre says she is now calling the British Public to support her. I implore the citizens in the uk to stand up beside me, to help me fight this fight, to not accept this as being 0k. This is not some sort of story, this is a story of being trafficked, this is a story of abuse and this is a story of your guys royalty. The sex life, judgment and honesty of a Senior Member of the royal family is under the microscope. Prince andrew has already been forced to stand down from public life. But the questions about his conduct wont go away. And you can watch the full panorama programme, the prince and the epstein scandal, on bbc one tonight at 9pm.

A paranoid schizophrenic who killed three pensioners in frenzied attacks has been cleared of murder by reason of insanity. Alexander lewis ranwell, whos 28, had been arrested twice in the previous 2a hours. An officer noted that he posed a serious risk to the public but he was not seen by a Mental Health professional before being released. Sean dilley reports. This is Alexander Lewis ranwells First Release from custody, there was a warning from a senior officer that he could present a danger if released. Devon and Cornwall Police said they had no choice to free him. During his time in custody, he was seen by five Different Health care professionals at the request of the police. As we have said earlier, we feel it is unreasonable to expect our staff to override clinical advice. He was first arrested on friday the 8th of february after breaking into a farm and freeing animals. He was charged and freed the next day. His first violent attack came within hours. He came onto another farm brandishing a stick and four foot saw. 82 year old john ellis saw his wife remonstrating with him after he released livestock. I shouted, get the police, quick, there is trouble. He suddenly advanced on me and swung the saw, i put up my arm to stop it and reeled off to one side like that. He was trying to kill me. He made off but was soon arrested in nearby fields where he was found walking without his shoes. In custody he showed symptoms of paranoia, urinated in the cells and claims to have lost his unicorn. 0fficers consulted Mental Health officials but at no point was he formally assessed under the Mental Health act. Instead he was let go again pending inquiries. He made his way to exeter and at around 12 30 he was captured on cctv outside the home of 80 year old anthony payne. He killed his victim with a hammer. He was captured on camera again here in this lane around two and three quarters of an hour after claiming his first life. Inside he killed 84 year old twins with a spade he took from their garden. The violence would eventually come to an end here in Exeter City Centre in the early hours of the 11th of february, but not before a final confrontation at this hotel. Inside he said he was hearing voices before attacking the night manager while brandishing a knife. He was arrested for a third and final time. Now a jury has found that Alexander Lewis ra nwell was not responsible for his actions, his surviving victims want to know why more was not done to stop the killer. Ministers and diplomats from all over the world are meeting in madrid for a two week summit on how to tackle Climate Change. The head of the un, antonio guterres, has warned that the point of no return on Climate Change is in sight and hurtling towards us. Kaveh madani is an environmental scientist and senior fellow at yale university. He previously served as the Vice President of the Un Environment Assembly bureau. Thank you for being with us this evening. Let me ask you first of all from your safe distance from madrid, what hope do you think there is of getting from the targets which have already been set and which there are already been set and which there are a lot to actual agreement by individual countries to do specific things to combat Climate Change . So, we are very far from the point that all nations really recognise Climate Change as an existential threat and be willing to make sacrifices but we are ata be willing to make sacrifices but we are at a point where a lot of countries have recognised that this isa countries have recognised that this is a serious problem and they have more patience and they are trying whatever in their capacity to address the problem so five years ago they submitted the plans they have from now on we have to make them more ambitious, the countries are trying to make them more ambitious and get their act together to address the problem. Do we reach the targets that we have set . Not with the existing plans but if the negotiators succeed in convincing eve ryo ne negotiators succeed in convincing everyone that this is serious, this isa everyone that this is serious, this is a serious threat to humankind, then we might see some actions. You talk about the negotiators, in a sense that it is what it is, isnt it . A series of trade offs between different countries, or groups of countries. Some have usefully for their own benefit, they would argue, to extra ct their own benefit, they would argue, to extract a better deal for the world, held out on particular rounds, making the meetings stretch well into the night to get people to give way, one might wonder if that isa give way, one might wonder if that is a very effective way of doing this . Treating this as a kind of negotiating or bartering operation which might seem an inadequate way of tackling something that is so fundamental to the future of the planet . This is the main problem. We are trying to solve an unprecedented problem of the 21st century with the existing economic institutions that we invented during the industrial revolution. The new problem needs a new solution and the cost of implementing reforms, economic and social reforms is huge. The political cost is high and society really ask for that. Those who didnt have responsibility, the creation of this problem, are going to get her to the most from this problem but unfortunately they do not have the economic power, the political power to address the problem on their own unilaterally. The youth dont have the political power to make the leaders. Convince them to take action. This is something we are trying hard on, the whole nations are trying, the activists are trying and hopefully there will be a change in behaviour and we would see the United States for example as a country that has the most responsibility in creation of this problem to take action. Without the us involvement it is really ha rd to without the us involvement it is really hard to see that other nations would be willing to move things forward. Thank you very much for being with us this evening, i hope to speak to you again towards the end of the couple of weeks. Its been a day of delays and cancellations for commuters in the south west as rail workers began a 27 day strike. Members of the rmt union are involved in a long running dispute with South Western Railway over the role of guards on trains. 0ur transport correspondent paul clifton sent this from basingstoke station in hampshire. The trains that are running here are coming on pretty full. This is day one of the longest strike and frankly i have no good news to share with you at all. This is affecting 600,000 passengerjourneys each weekday. Passengers have had to squeeze onto just over half the normal number of trains so 1000 trains have run today, 800 have cancelled and we join some early commuters from southampton. The grit has had been out as people went to work through gritted teeth on the first day of a month of strikes. It is very exhausting, every day you dont know what time youre going to come to your ownjob. Dont know what time youre going to come to your ownjoblj dont know what time youre going to come to your own job. I have one trying to catch and then i have to wait for the next one one train cancelled. It will inconvenience me but we go with the flow. Im using the app to know what is going on but getting home is what worries me. Trains from southampton were mostly on time, a quiet carriage of commuters speeding through the countryside. Im sitting on the floor, i dont have a space today. Train was on time but a bit busier normal. It is no busier today but may be some people have tried with the train strikes to stay home. Some stations were closed altogether whilst the sun rose, people waited in the cold for delayed and cancelled trains. Im waiting for my train now but it is cancelled, both trains so i wont get in till nine now. I have to wait 40 minutes, it is reason, it
