The nasa mission aiming to learn more about the creation of the planets. Here in the uk, the man arrested by Police Following the killing of the member of Parliament Sir david amess has been named as Ali Harbi Ali. The 25 year old is british, of somali heritage. Its understood he was previously referred to the governments prevent programme, the scheme intended to identify those at risk of radicalisation and stop them being drawn into terrorism. Sir david was stabbed multiple times when he was holding a regular meeting with his constituents in a church hall in leigh on sea, in essex in the south east of england. The Prime Minister, borisjohnson, and the leader of the opposition, sir keir starmer, laid flowers together at the scene. Our Home Affairs Correspondent Daniel Sandford reports from leigh on sea. A united front in the face of a suspected terrorist attack. The Prime Minister, the leader of the opposition, the speaker of the House Of Commons and the Home Secretary. Four of the most senior politicians in the land at the church today where sir david amess mp was murdered. He was killed doing a job that he loved, serving his own constituents as an elected democratic member. And, of course, acts of this are absolutely wrong and we cannot let that get in the way of our functioning democracy. It was formally declared a Terrorist Incident late last night. Early enquiries suggesting the motive was islamist extremism. The man in custody, Ali Harbi Ali, is understood to have been referred to the governments prevent scheme a few years ago. The scheme� s designed to stop people being drawn in to terrorism. He was never a formal subject of interest for the Security Service mi5. Through friends, eyewitnesses have suggested the attacker waited in the queue at sir davids constituency surgery yesterday, before stabbing the mp several times with a knife in front of his assistant and then waiting for police to arrive. Sir david was known and loved for his hands on approach with voters, and those whove campaigned with him had warned him of the risks. I used to go out on the doorsteps on the cold, dark nights in the rain and i used to be a bodyguard many years ago. And i said, david, you should have somebody with you on these things, its not safe. Southend has two representatives in parliament and the other mp, james duddridge, paid this emotional tribute to his friend. I mean, the Community Hasjust been hit sideways by this. Its notjust a Member Of Parliament, Notjust The Local Member Of Parliament, but, you know, he really did touch peoples lives in a way that most mps dont manage to do. Tonight at the local sports field, hundreds of people gathered to remember the mp so many of them knew personally. And he was a very, very decent human being. An mp that not everyone agreed with, but who everyone respected and loved. Daniel sandford, bbc news, leigh on sea. Police forces across the uk have been contacting mps to discuss their personal safety. Meeting constituents is seen as central to their role as representatives, but the death of sir david amess has re opened a debate about the risks they face. 0ur Political Correspondent Damian Grammaticas reports. Around the country today, mps continuing to hold their surgeries. Robert largan in the Peak District saying hell keep doing this all year round. Craig williams in Montgomeryshire Thanking Welsh police for being there to give reassurance, and Kieran Mullan in cheshire saying, we must not let people force us to do things differently. But today there are changes. In south wales, a police guard for an mps coffee morning. And he already felt honourable. We now have cctv at the front and rear of the building. Whod watched radical islamic sermons online. She was bundled away. And in 2017, four passers by and Pc Keith Palmer were all killed outside parliament in what Police Called an act of islamist related terror. The mp who was here that day and tried to save pc palmers life has said that meeting constituents is vital but they should be paused. The Home Secretary has announced a review of mps� security and he says that should be completed first. I would recommend that no mp has a direct surgery until. You know, you can move to zoom, theres other ways. You can actually achieve an awful lot over the telephone, you can get things moving far faster than having to wait for the surgery date, as well. But for sir david amess, meeting constituents was a vital part of his job. So the question now is how much further should security be tightened . Many believe things have to be reappraised but mps themselves must decide. Its not a question of carrying on with Business As Usual and just regarding this as an Occupational Hazard of being an mp. Nor of having close security such as the Home Secretary has, or the Prime Minister or the Foreign Secretary needs to have. We need to have a discussion about how we strike the balance. Its a balance that will be hard to find. Two years ago in the royal albert hall, a concert for people with learning disabilities. Sir david amess championed this cause. He loved his public role. Mps are public figures accessible and therefore vulnerable. Damian grammaticas, bbc news. Russia has recorded more than 1,000 covid deaths in a day for the First Time Since the start of the pandemic.

The british iranian aid worker, Nazanin Zaghari ratcliffe, has lost an appeal against her second jail sentence in iran. Mrs Zaghari Ratcliffe was given a 1 year sentence when her first 5 year sentence ended in march. The British Foreign secretary liz truss has described the latest decision as an appalling continuation of a cruel ordeal. Ive been speaking to jason rezaian. He was the washington posts tehran correspondent for four years. And spent more than 500 days unjustly imprisoned by iranian authorities until his release in january 2016. He now hosts a podcast about that experience and similar cases called 544 days, and gave me his reaction. As the Foreign Secretary said i am equally as appalled and disgusted, but i also believe that we should have expected this development. Nazanin has been subjected to an abuse of power going on six years now, and essentially she has been held hostage until which time the Iranian Regime received what it believes it can get from the British Government. I expect her detention will be extended in this way until they get what they want. For the last year she has been held under house arrest in her parents home in tehran. She has been going through the cycle of waiting for an appeal, being rejected, et cetera. What will she be going through right now . For the last year she has been held under house arrest in her parents home in tehran. She has been going through the cycle of waiting for an appeal, being rejected, et cetera. What will she be going through right now . Its a constant rollercoaster. You are being told from the very first days of your imprisonment that you will be let out soon or that you will spend the rest of your life there, or that you will face execution, psychological torment and torture throughout, and in her situation, the release into house arrest, forced to wear the ankle tag she has had to wearfor over a year now, being tracked wherever she goes, its not a life to live, and it really is unfair what they have done to her and continue to do to her. Iran says there are some simple things that could help secure her release. The British Government reimbursing iranian authorities for tanks they bought several years ago that were never delivered. Has the British Government doing enough to secure her release do you think . To paraphrase what my brother said that about my 544 day ordeal in iran, he appreciated what the Us Government was doing, but apparently it wasnt enough because i was still sitting in prison, so i dont think the British Government is doing enough. I cant even, i think we are on the fifth Foreign Secretary since nazanin� s original arrest, i have had Conversations Withjerry Hunt over the last several years and there is a growing understanding that the us and uk governments need to take a harder line on state hostage taking, but they havent done it so far, and they havent figured out the ways to bring these britons home. These are all British Nationals who are languishing in iranian custody and i dont see that the Foreign Office is doing enough to bring her home. Stay with us on bbc news, still to come guess who will be at cop26 . 0rganisers announced the former us president barack 0bama will attend the opening of the summit to meet Youth Activists and address the threat of Climate Change.

In the first year of his administration the climate bill passed the house but thousand the senate, and we are in the exact same place. We may not even come up with a vote in the senate this time.

The United Nations has withdrawn its invitation to matt hancock to take up an unpaid role helping africas economies recover from covid 19. Its understood a decision was taken at senior levels within the un, to rescind the offer after questions were raised about the former Health Secretarys suitability for the role. 0ur correspondent, mark lobel has been following the story. What led to this embarrassing moment for the former Health Secretary who was looking to relaunch his political career, came just three days after an exciting moment for him when he announced on tuesday that he was going to be doing this role, helping africas economies recover from covid and he was greeted with support from former cabinet colleagues including the Foreign Secretary, the housing secretary, and including the culture secretary, and this was not an appointment that came through the uk government, it was an internal un appointment, and there were many in the International Community who suddenly questioned Matt Hancocks expertise for doing this role, his knowledge of africa, and also his past mistakes and how that would lead to a good ambassador for this particular role. Matt hancocks friend say that obviously the eu must� ve aware of his history and all these other things beforehand but one thing they did not appear to be aware of comes across in Matt Hancocks statement. He starts by saying, this is after the role has been withdrawn from him, i was honoured to be approached by the un and appointed as special representative to the Economic Commission for africa, to help drive forward an agenda of its strengthening markets and bringing investment africa. By the un have written to me to explain a Technical Un Rule has subsequently come to light. That makes two questions, why did it take the un so long, a month really since they sent that initial letter to him inviting him to this role, to realise that technical rule existed, and secondly what about gordon brown, he was an mp when he was given a similar role in my understanding is he was about to leave parliament, he announced he was standing down, whereas matt hancock seen very clearly he is not intending to do that. Nasa has successfully launched its First Mission to studyjupiter� s Trojan Asteroids two vast clusters of space rocks that surround the planet. Scientists believe they are made up of matter that formed the Solar Systems outer planets. Duncan kennedy explains three, two, one, zero. The start of a 4 billion milejourney. Lift off, atlas v takes flight. The Atlas V Rocket is carrying a craft called lucy, that aims to go into orbit around jupiter and study a group of asteroids called trojans, some of which are the size of a city. So what are the Trojan Asteroids . There asteroids which Orbit Withjupiter around the sun that ultimately hold the clues to the formation of our solar system. Lucys giant solar panels would only generate enough electricity to power a few light bulbs on earth but around jupiter, its enough to reach the Trojan Asteroids and ask questions like what they made of and where do come from . By going to visit a large number, eight asteroids in total, over the mission lifetime, well really better understand all about the asteroids. So if you only see one, maybe you got a bit of a funny one, but by seeing eight, you get to really understand whats going on in this population. Scientists want lucy to test their theory that the early solar system was juggled around by gravity with some objects being thrown in and others out, just like billiard balls. But theyll need patience. Lucys expected to be operating around asteroids for the next 12 years. Duncan kennedy, bbc news.
