return to leigh—on—sea, and join our home affairs correspondent, daniel sandford. bring us up—to—date with the latest on the investigation. bring us up-to-date with the latest on the investigation.— bring us up-to-date with the latest on the investigation. well, scotland yard's counterterrorism _ on the investigation. well, scotland yard's counterterrorism command l on the investigation. well, scotland i yard's counterterrorism command has only been in charge of this investigation for a few hours but already they'll be bringing their huge resources, experience and expertise to bear will stop they will be hoovering up huge amounts of physical evidence, cctv evidence, phone evidence, computer evidence, the resources they bring really are quite enormous compared to a normal investigation, and of course they will also be liaising with the intelligence service, the security service m15 to try and build up a background of the suspect that is in custody and also any associates. so there is a very large scale investigation under way tonight. but here in leigh—on—sea people are thinking about the sir david that has been their mp for all those years and at the church down the road tonight, the catholic church, my colleague sarah campbell has been talking to people about the sir david that they knew. a time to come together and to remember. st peter's catholic church is a few minutes walk from where sir david amess was killed. what happened to sir david today, what can we say, dear friends? that he died doing the thing he loved, meeting his constituents, his local people. we could rely on him to listen to us and to take our ideas forward. renowned as a hard—working mp, his constituents paid their own tributes. a guy who championed everyone's cause, the weak... a real, true gentleman. and we'll miss him. it is to his testament that - so many of us want to give that nod and that heartfelt thanks _ for the way that he served this town and the people in it. thank god for his life and thank god for that great gift... listening to his constituents, who one after the other have shared their memories of sir david, it's clear that he was well—loved here and will be greatly missed. you would never see david without a big smile on his face. it's a huge loss. yes, it is, it's massive. massive loss. he was a good listener. it felt... people felt he represented them in the houses of parliament. his heart was in his community, it really was. he was the best constituency mp you could ever wish for. this is a community in shock, mourning and mp who died in service to his constituents. sarah campbell, bbc news, leigh—on—sea. let's rejoin laura kuenssberg at westminster. laura, a sense of shock right across westminster, that is clear tonight and concern over the safety of mps now the home secretary has ordered a review into security. that now the home secretary has ordered a review into security.— review into security. that is right. it's inevitable _ review into security. that is right. it's inevitable in _ review into security. that is right. it's inevitable in the _ review into security. that is right. it's inevitable in the coming - it's inevitable in the coming days there will be a public conversation about the safety of mps, that is already under way with the home secretary asking police forces to crack down and do everything they can. they will be contacting every mp in the next 2a hours. it's also inevitable that there will be another public conversation about whether some of the poison that has crept into corners of political debate in this country in the last few years is something that can be taken away. can people in politics, in real life and online, learn again perhaps to be kinder, to keep cooler heads, to think more carefully before resorting to insult or hurling abuse or putting the kind of threats to mps that sadly many of them do face on a very regular basis? but i have to say, given this is all in agonising echo of what happened five years ago withjo cox, there's an inevitability about those conversations happening, there is nothing inevitable at all about anything changing. what's the vast majority of mps will not want to change is that precious relationship between them and their constituents. you know, it's not common in countries around the world to have what we have in this country, where mps don't expect to always be behind the secure gates in parliament, they expect to be out and about with members of their constituency, meeting people, yes, who voted for them and meeting and trying to help people who didn't put their boxing their ballot actually supporting them. that is a very precious commodity we have as part our democracy under its not something that mps want to give up at all, even though sadly the reality is for many of them, part of the experience of what most of them see as a privileged and importantjob of being an mp comes with sometimes that nagging question about their own safety and their own security. but it is something we have heard from friends of david amess tonight, that he would absolutely not want that he would absolutely not want that to be lost, that sense of connection between those people who stand up in the chamber and those people who sent them there to make their voice heard. {lilia people who sent them there to make their voice heard.— their voice heard. 0k, laura, thank ou. their voice heard. 0k, laura, thank you- laura — their voice heard. 0k, laura, thank you. laura kuenssberg _ their voice heard. 0k, laura, thank you. laura kuenssberg at _ you. laura kuenssberg at westminster. it's emerged that tens of thousands of people who had pcr tests in september and october were incorrectly told they didn't have coronavirus. 0perations have been suspended at a private lab in wolverhampton, after more than a0,000 positive lateral flow tests were later incorrectly recorded as negative pcr results. most of the affected cases are in the south west of england, with some in the south east and wales. here's our health editor, hugh pym. these are the lateral flow tests that we took... graham has the lateral flow test results which suggested there was covid in his household — except that the pcr tests which they then had done told a different story — negative. friends had similar experiences. now he realises he probably did have the virus. i coach football. i carried on with that and went about things as i normally would because i was convinced ijust had a cold. i feel terrible. my wife took extra precautions as a teacher, but i know she's upset that she may have taken the virus into school. the problems have been traced to a private laboratory on a science park in wolverhampton. around a3,000 pcr tests processed there from september 8th are thought to have given false negative results. work at the lab has been suspended. suspicions had been raised in recent weeks, including tweets by this academic. he says the consequences are potentially serious. tens of thousands of people have been given false negative results, thinking they maybe don't have covid even though they've had symptoms and a positive lateral flow device, they've been going into school, they've been going into work and potentially infecting other people. public health leaders say after they were alerted, they needed time to work out which lab might be at fault. why could you not have intervened sooner? we have been looking over that time i period and we do listen and in factl we welcome feedback. i want to make sure that - if there are any further problems with other laboratories, - we can absolutely spot them as quickly as possible. so i'll be conducting a serious incident investigation - within the health security agency. the latest revelations come at a time of rising covid cases, highlighted by the latest office for national statistics release on community infections. the 0ns survey suggests that last weekjust over1 million people in the uk had the virus — the highest since january, and that was largely driven by infections amongst children. but whereas case rates went up in england and wales, they fell back in scotland and were little changed in northern ireland. the vaccine means that although we have the same number of cases as january, we're not going to see anywhere near the same number of deaths or the same number of admissions. that said, we're still seeing a significant number of admissions, over 700 a day, we're still seeing over 100 deaths a day. more cases means more work for the test and trace system. in the wake of news about faulty results, officials argue it was an isolated problem and the public should have faith in the testing and lab network. hugh pym, bbc news. the government's latest coronavirus figures show there were a3,a89 new infections recorded in the latest 2a—hour period. that means on average, there were a0,1a9 cases per day in the past week. 7,086 people were in hospital with covid, as of yesterday. another 1a5 deaths have been recorded, that's of people who died within 28 days of a positive test, which means on average there were 117 deaths per day in the past week. 0n vaccinations, 85.8% of the population aged 12 and over have had their first dose, and 78.8% have been double jabbed. the government is planning to temporarily relax the rules around the number of deliveries foreign lorry drivers can make. ministers say the measures will ease pressure on supply chains, particularly in the run up to christmas. but there's been some criticism from uk hauliers, who've warned that british operators could be undercut. here's our business editor, simonjack. through dover alone, nearly 3000 lorries arrive from the eu every day. before brexit, eu drivers were free to pick up work while here in the uk — that changed injanuary. facing supply chain problems, the government offered three month visas for 5000 riders. only 20 applied. so now the government plans to let foreign drivers do more deliveries while they're on uk soil. since brexit, eu drivers arriving here in the uk are allowed to do two domestic uk deliveryjobs in the one week they're allowed to stay. under this proposal, they could do an unlimited number ofjobs in an extended two week period in a scheme that would last for six months and the industry estimates that means tens of thousands of uk deliveryjobs would be done by lower paid, and therefore lower priced, eu hauliers. uk firms say that will undercut companies here who have had to offer uk drivers wage hikes of 20% plus to attract and retain staff. fuel duty is a lot lower in eu countries to what it is in the uk. the driver in the seat in their country will be cheaper. foreign hauliers coming into this country to do our work will most definitely cut our rates. what then happens is, is big companies then decide that that is the going rate and they give you a choice as a business — you either do it for that or you don't do it at all. resorting to using foreign labour seems to many in the industry at odds with what the prime minister said last week. the answer to the present stresses and strains, which are mainly a function of growth and economic revival, is not to reach for that same old lever of uncontrolled immigration. this morning, the transport secretary argued it was not uncontrolled and made pragmatic sense. having some additional capacity right now, i think everybody agrees, is a good idea. this is a quick way of doing it, it doesn't require visas to do, people are already here. so it'sjust a common—sense measure at these times. as i say, it's one of very many things. many things that include 800 short—term visas for butchers, where the exit of eu workers has led to labour shortages in the pork industry. supply chains are stressed around the world. reaching for eu labour was not part of the post—brexit script but the government also knows a supply chain that can't deliver would be a very unattractive political christmas present. simon jack, bbc news. let's take a look at some of the day's other top stories. from 2ath 0ctober, anyone who's fully vaccinated will able to use a lateral flow test, rather than a more expensive pcr test, to prove their covid status when travelling. it comes as the united states says it's reopening its borders, to fully vaccinated travellers, from the 8th november. the queen has been overheard expressing frustration at world leaders' inaction on climate change, saying she's irritated by people who "talk" but "don't do". her remarks were picked up on a microphone during conversations at yesterday's opening of the welsh parliament, the senedd, in cardiff. the queen is due to attend the cop26 climate summit in glasgow next month. a leading huntsman has been found guilty of offering advice on how to hold illegalfox hunts. mark hankinson, a director of the masters of foxhounds association, took part in online seminars where he described how to disguise fox hunts as trail hunts. hankinson was fined £3,500, including damages and costs. more than 30 people have been killed in afghanistan, in a series of explosions at a mosque in the southern city of kandahar. those who died are shia muslims who'd gathered for friday prayers. it comes a week after a suicide attack on another shia mosque in the northern city of kunduz killed at least 50 people. 0ur correspondent yogita limaye has the latest. pain and suffering is relentless in afghanistan. this was the second major attack in a week — both targeted at the minority shia community. at this mosque in kandahar, witnesses say there were three suicide bombers. translation: the firing started after we ended prayers. - then two or three explosions took place. we were thrown towards the windows. many people were dead and wounded. i don't know what happened later. last friday, the northern city of kunduz was engulfed in terror. is—k, the regional affiliate of the islamic state group, claimed it was behind the bombing that killed scores of people. the attacks have spread fear among the shia minority. "i couldn't stop crying after seeing the news "from kandahar", said this woman. "we shias have long been a press stand every time we are targeted." —— long been opressed. explosion in recent weeks, is—k has carried out dozens of attacks — some against taliban fighters. this is the biggest challenge to the taliban's hold on security in this country since they seized power in august. they've said they don't want the us or any foreign country to be involved in operations against is. but with an increasing number of such attacks, questions are being raised about their ability to combat the threat. taliban leaders have been playing down the dangers of is, desperate to portray they've brought stability and peace to afghanistan. the latest attack on their stronghold kandahar exposes the cracks in their claims. yogita lamaye, bbc news, kabul. here, shoppers can now make contactless payments of £100 per transaction, raising the limit from £a5. retailers are however warning that it could take months to update their terminals and there are also concerns about the risk of fraud. it's been a wait of six years for fans of the singer adele, but now one of the biggest selling artists of the 21st century has released a new single. entitled easy on me, she says it's an attempt to explain her divorce to her son. her new album, 30, comes out next month. our music correspondent mark savage has more. # there ain't no gold in this river # that i've been washing my hands in forever...# the wait is over. after six years, adele is back, and she's singing about the end of her marriage in 2019. # i changed who i was to put you both first # but now i give up...# there's something like hopeful about it as well as sad. but, i mean, i obviously bawled my eyes out when i was writing it and when i was singing it for the recording and stuff like that, but there's an element of hope in it, which in turn gave me hope because i was at my wits' end in the beginning of 2019. the song is about seeking forgiveness for her part in the breakdown of the relationship. # i was still a child...# adele has said her new album is, in part, an attempt to explain that separation to her eight—year—old son when he's older. great art is made from great pain. when i think we heard that she'd broken up, you think, oh, there are going to be, inevitably, as sad as it is for everybody concerned, there are going to be some really good songs coming out of the pain she's been through. and i really admire the honesty for her to talk about so openly what has happened and all the feelings that she's had. # we could have had it all... adele's new record comes with big expectations. she already has 15 grammies, one oscar and nine brit awards. # i'll find someone like you... and she's inspired a new generation of artists, including fellow brit nomineejoy crookes. # i don't know what i'd do... i think the thing that adele made me feel ok with is that i'm not afraid of ballads. i know that in my past i've had friends when i was younger be like, "why are you writing these kinds of songs?" and i rememberfeeling a bit ashamed of my writing, and then the second thing is, amidst all her success, all the things that could have changed her, accolades, everything, she'sjust so real. easy on me has already been streamed millions of times, but not everyone was impressed. i sent a snippet of me singing it as i was writing it to three of my closest friends here and one didn't like it, the other one was like, "well, yeah, maybe, keep trying, though", the other one was like, "i'm busy working", so that was the perfect response for me. mark savage, bbc news. let's return to our main story, the killing of the conservative mp, sir david amess, at his constituency surgery in leigh—on—sea, in essex. our home editor, mark easton is here. sir david was simply carrying out his duty as an mp, meeting his constituents to hear their problems and concerns. it is a fundamental feature of british democracy and today that came under attack. i think you are right. this is a violent and shocking death of a respective public servant but also an attack on public service itself. 0ur democracy, our values, an attack on public service itself. 0ur democracy, ourvalues, because the british way of life is sustained by men and women who devote themselves to representing the interests of others. for mps, their relationships with their constituencies at the heart of what they are about and that means they have to be accessible, they must be able to listen. they must be able to engage and sir david famously had a reputation for doing just that. but his death emphasises the very real risks in the last few years police have recorded hundreds of crimes against mps, hate mail, harassment, death threats and some physical assaults. the home secretary, as we have been hearing, has been asking the police to review the security arrangements around mps and of course there will be discussions about how we can better protect our public representatives but very few politicians want this awful crime to undermine in any way the connection between them and the people they serve and you will know a person who would be as worried as anybody about that potential outcome, sir david amess. :, ~ that potential outcome, sir david amess. ., ,, , :, that's it. 0n newsnight now — a special programme looking at today's events and the issues around mps' safety. but now on bbc one, it's time for the news where you are. have a very good night.
