In case of an emergency. On sunday, Suella Braverman called for a review into armed policing. Her intervention was welcomed by the metropolitan police commissioner, sir mark rowley. In an open letter, he called for an urgent reset, writing that improvements to the met police were being undermined by a system not set up to help officers succeed, identifying Police Pursuits and the use of force as areas of the most glaring unfairness. He said officers need sufficient Legal Protection to do theirjob and keep the public safe, because theyre now more afraid of years of uncertainty for them and theirfamilies in the legal system than they are of confronting dangerous or armed criminals and terrorists. It all comes after a met Police Officer was charged on thursday with the murder of Unarmed Chris Kaba Last year. The 24 year old was fatally shot in a borrowed car in south london, a car the police say was linked to an incident involving a gun. The met police are keen to stress that Military Personnel will not be involved in armed patrols across the capitals streets. That work will be done by Police Officers, the majority of which, the bbc has been told, will be from the met. But their numbers will be bulked out with officers from other forces from across the country. Its understood, though, that some officers from those forces have refused to work in london in solidarity with their met colleagues. The Home Secretary said she ordered the review to ensure armed officers have the confidence to do theirjob. The big question, though, is whether that installs confidence in the communities they serve. Vincent mcaviney, bbc news. The Prime Minister rishi sunak was asked for his thoughts about Legal Protections for Police Firearms officers. A Murder Charge has been brought against the officer alleged to have fired the shot that killed Chris Kaba Last year. Heres what he had to say. 0urfirearms officers do an incredibly difficultjob. They are making life or death decisions in a split second to keep us safe, and they deserve our gratitude for their bravery. Its important when theyre using these legal powers that they do so with clarity and they have certainty about what theyre doing, especially given the lethality they are using. Thats why the Home Secretary has asked her department to review the guidance that the officers are operating under to make sure that it is robust and that it commands the confidence not just of the officers, but of the public as well. It wouldnt be right for me to speculate on ongoing cases, but thats what were doing. Thousands of students face disruption as staff at more than 50 universitiesjoin picket lines across the uk. It is part of a long running dispute by members of the university and College Union over pay and conditions. The union says more than 20,000 staff will be taking part. Live now to our correspondent tim muffett whos at Queen Mary University of london.

Originally, the plan had been for Industrial Action at 140 university sites, but that has been significantly scaled back. That is because a marking boycotts which was introduced in april saw pay deductions taking place and at many sites, more than 80, agreements have been reached over those pay deductions and the marking boycotts was called off a few weeks ago.

It says that less than 1 of staff are currently taking Industrial Action. And it says teaching and assessment is a priority and it will withhold pay for staff who do not carry out those core activities due to Industrial Action. That was a statement from the management at Queen Mary University of london. But as you can see, there are about 50 people on the picket line and the same will be the picket line and the same will be the case at 42 other sites for the beginning of five days of Industrial Action. And at ten further sites, one day of Industrial Action. This is a crucial week for the hs2 rail project. The government is due to give an answer this week on whether they will scrap the birmingham to manchester section of the line. Defence secretary grant shapps says it would be crazy not to look again at the rising cost of the high speed project. Noor nanji reports. Are key parts of hs2 about to be scrapped . The speculation has been mounting over the weekend. On saturday, more than 80 companies and Business Leaders sent a letter to the government seeking clarity over its commitment to hs2. The mayor of london, sadiq khan, also wrote to Prime Minister rishi sunak, warning him against axing Central Parts of the hs2 project. He said doing that could be a colossal waste of money. The government has so far refused to commit to the current plans for the rail link, and on sunday the defence secretary, grant shapps, told the bbc that it would be crazy not to review plans as costs have soared. The proposal for hs2 was first put forward in 2009. The aim to Speed Up Journey Times and create more capacity. But hs2 has faced delays, cuts and spiralling costs. The original plan would have connected london to birmingham, and then leeds to manchester. In 2021, the section from birmingham to leeds was cancelled. Other key elements now appear to be in doubt. The High Speed Rail is supposed to come here to euston, but earlier this year the government announced it was pausing work on the new Central London terminus. Now question marks are hanging over the line that� s meant to link the West Midlands and crewe, before moving on to manchester. The last official estimate on hs2 costs, excluding the cancelled eastern section, added up to about £71 billion, although this was in 2019 prices. Pressure is mounting for a decision to be made, with rumours that could come as soon as this week. Noor nanji, bbc news. The political Conference Season is under way and the Liberal Democrats are gathered in bournemouth. That of course means media events like this Party Leader Sir Ed Davey in a canoe, to promote his policy on stopping Sewage Dumping into rivers. But there are some other policies which are a bit harder to portray in a visual way. For example, the lib dems have now dropped their longstanding commitment to put a penny on income tax and instead want to increase levies on Big Companies like banks. Live now to bournemouth and the Political Editor for bbc south, peter henley. Its it� s a wonderful sunny day on the south coast, and the lib dems are in good heart. It� s the first time they have got together for four years, longer than the other political parties, because their conference was cancelled at very short notice because of the death of the queen, and covid before that. So where they are pleased to see each other and it� s all smiles, beneath the surface, some tensions amongst old friends start to come back up again. Brexit, how to deal with the Housing Crisis and ditching some old policies maybe to appeal to conservative voters who they are now targeting in this blue wall. With me is sir vince cable, former leader of the party. Getting rid of a policy that has been here since 1992, i remember Charles Kennedy talking about a penny on income tax to help the nhs.

Specialist British Army Bomb Disposal teams have been training their ukrainian counterparts to clear russian minefields. Ukraine is now the most heavily mined country in the world with Hundreds Of Thousands of explosive devices littering the ground and slowing ukraine� s offensive operations. The training by british army sapppers who faced similar deadly obstacles in afghanistan was specifically requested by ukraine. 0ur defence correspondent Jonathan Beale reports from poland where they� ve been carrying out the training. Mine detectors beep. Imagine doing this while under enemy fire. Trying to find and make safe a deadly hidden device which could also kill you. It� s what these experienced ukrainian engineers have been doing for the past year. Now, here in neighbouring poland, honing their skills, with the help of british sappers who faced a similar threat in the heat and dust of afghanistan. Back in ukraine, this is what they are facing ground littered with russian mines and explosives. Ukraine is now the most heavily mined country in the world. And it� s what has bogged down their advance. Russia� s laid Hundreds Of Thousands of mines across ukraine, scattered over an area the size of florida. In some places, the minefields are ten kilometres deep. And in just one square metre, there could be as many as five mines. Sappers like den are now being targeted by russian forces. So they mostly have to conduct their work at night. And there are simply not enough of them. Would you describe being a sapper in ukraine at the moment as being the most dangerousjob in the world . Yes, absolutely. Are a lot of them being killed by mines, by Russian Artillery because they� re working on the front line . Yeah. Have you lost many friends . What message would you like to send the west . Keep going. We need your help. Is that because you� re worried that the west won� t keep going . Because we won� t make it by our own. When we make stuff safe, we should make sure the teams cover. This training and support is appreciated. The uk has also supplied ukraine with 1,500 mine detectors, the hope that it will make a difference. Were fellow soldiers, at the end of the day. We share experiences throughout the course of our experiences and their experiences, and we train together. And do you think you� ve given them the skills to stay alive . Weve added to them. The clock is ticking on ukraine� s offensive, and still in their way are the minefields and booby traps laid on an industrial scale. Let� s get more on one of our top stories, and hundreds of Ethnic Armenian refugees from the disputed enclave of Nagorno Karabakh have started arriving in armenia. They� re the first to cross the border since it was captured by Azerbaijani Forces this week. 0lga ivshina and her team are there, and havejust sent this report. As guests of the azeri military, we enter a region that� s been cut off from the outside world since the start of recent hostilities. No sign of civilians, only the relics of fighting. This is shusha, a key Azeri Stronghold since 2020. We are led up to a viewpoint from where we can see stepanakert. Karabakh armenians have claimed this city as their capital for the past 30 years, but now it� s surrounded by azeri forces. 0n show are the seized arms of the other side. We are being shown armoured vehicles and ammunition which was surrendered by Karabakh Armenians. It seems that azerbaijan tries to show that they are the victim in this conflict and their actions are only in response to provocations by Karabakh Armenians, whom they call separatists. 0ur tour ended there, and we weren� t allowed to go any further. But with more than 100,000 people unable to leave Nagorno Karabakh, this is what we� ve found out. Hi, 0lga, thank you for reaching me. Now even residents of stepanakert don� t have food, so it� s really hard for everyone, actually. We are all, all stepanakert, all country is a big refugee camp now. We still don� t know even how many missing persons we have, killed and injured. Tonight, in the past few hours, hundreds of Karabakh Armenians have made it out and begun arriving in armenia. Children, the elderly and the sick. Speaking to the bbc, one refugee said the evacuation has begun, there will be more.

Stay with us here on bbc news. Hello again. Today is essentially going to be a breezy day with sunshine and showers. But as we head to the middle part of the week, wednesday looks like it could bring us some stormy conditions. But what we have at the moment are a few showers getting in across parts of wales, Northern England, Northern Ireland, but the bulk of them will be across scotland, where they could be heavy and thundery. Still gusty winds across the north and also the west, gusting in excess of 40mph. But a lot of dry weather, a fair bit of sunshine, with highs up to 23 degrees. Now, through this evening and overnight, we hang on to a lot of clear skies at first, but then a system coming up from the south will introduce some humid conditions and some showers across wales, south west england, the midlands and southern counties. And at the same time, we also have a Weather Front bringing rain in across Northern Ireland and the outer hebrides. Now, both of these fronts through the course of tomorrow are going to Push North Eastwards and you can see from the isobars it� s going to be another breezy day in the south, but windy in the north. So the showers continue to push up into the north sea, the rain moves out of Northern Ireland, across Northern England and into scotland and behind it for most it will still be dry, but there still will be a few residual showers with highs up to about 22 or 23. Now, as we head on from tuesday into wednesday, we� ve got this developing area of low pressure which is going to bring us the stormy conditions, some heavy rain, but also some strong winds. We start off with a lot of dry weather. The cloud builds ahead of the low pressure arriving. And then in it comes, widespread gales developing. Widely inland we� re looking at 50mph 60mph gusts. And these are the temperatures, 14 20 degrees, but also some heavy rain. So this could well lead to some disruption. The strongest winds will be around the irish sea coast, 60mph 75mph. But potentially they could be a little bit stronger than that. Now, as we head overnight wednesday into thursday, that low pressure eventually tracks northwards and moves away. Then we� ve got this little bump in the isobars as a transient ridge of High Pressure comes in. So thursday morning we see the back edge of that Stormy Weather moving away. Behind it, a mixture of bright spells, sunshine and showers. More showers coming Into The West and also the south through the day, with highs of 19.
