Area of bradford on saturday. West Yorkshire Police have confirmed the baby wasnt harmed, and theyve referred themselves to the police watchdog, because the victim had been in touch with officers. Police say the suspect remains very dangerous. Danny savage, has our top story. Where is Habibur Masum . Police have just released this picture of the 25 year old taken on saturday, the day he is suspected of carrying out an horrific attack on a woman he knew. Who was named this afternoon as Kulsama Akter. Kulsama akter was with her young baby at this time and was walking along westgate when she was attacked and stabbed multiple times. Emergency services were called at 3. 21pm. However, despite the best efforts of members of the public, Ambulance Crews and hospital staff, Kulsama Akter sadly lost her life due to the injuries. Her baby is safe and well and was not harmed in this incident. The 27 year old mother and her child were walking here in the centre of bradford. This shocking incident has deeply affected those who tried to help kulsama in the moments after the attack. I heard the screaming and i came out, run towards where the thing happened. And then what i did, i tried to check her pulse and everything. But there was no pulse. And then within a few minutes doctor arrived. Just down there is Bradford City centre, where the attack happened at about 20 past 3 on saturday afternoon. 10 minutes later the main suspect in this case gets on a bus on market street. Ten minutes after that, he gets off the bus in the Bradford Moor Park area. Just to the east of the city centre. He hasnt been seen since. Police say the victim and suspect were known to each other, although they werent elaborate on the exact relationship. There is relief here though that the baby was unharmed. For this young child, long after we have all disappeared, and the news has moved on and we have forgotten about this incident, that young baby will grow up motherless and that is the tragedy here. Cctv cameras overlook the crime scene. What they recorded will be vital to the investigation. Police say a knife was recovered here. Habibur masum is from the oldham area and has links to burnley and chester, where police raids have since taken place and another man has been arrested. Anyone who sees him is being warned not to approach him and immediately call 999. Two other important points to come out of Press Briefing at the Police Station be mind me. West Yorkshire Police have referred its to the ipcc, that is due to contact they had with the victim in the days before she was killed. They wont go into detail on that but they have referred themselves to the iopc. The main suspect was seen in the Bradford Park moor area and police have made an appeal to taxi drivers who may have picked him up. To come forward with any information, that is last plain place he was scene, they want know where he is now. Thank you for that. Danny savage in bradford. Danny savage in bradford.

Well, if they cant yet, it is certainly where you are . Well, if they cant yet, it is certainlyjust where you are . Well, if they cant yet, it is certainlyjust minutes i yet, it is certainlyjust minutes away, it is getting very close, there is something poetic and romantic about the fact it is mexico that gets to see it first, a country whose ancestors were great mathematicians, accomplished astronomer, the ancient maya, the as tentings its said could predict them when they came to pass, in centuries past, that said, they saw them as portents of something terrible happening, of death, of clashes between god, and to counter act that, the as texas used Human Sacrifice but dont worry, i dont think we will see that today the biggest problem is people cant get enough of the glasses to look at the thing directly. Kids being told they can watch it in the playground as long as the classrooms are allowing that to happen, or even they can stay home from school to watch it with their families.

The white house says it is taking discussion to secure the release of israeli hostages seriously and is hoping to secure a deal as soon as possible. But there are conflicting reports merging about how talks are progressing between israel and hamas, meanwhile palestinians who have returned to the ruinses of the city of khan younis in gaza have been speaking about the widespread destruction left behind in the wake of the withdrawal of Israeli Forces yesterday. Jeremy bowen is live in southern israel with the latest. Jeremy, is there any progression from where you are, on the possibility of a hostage deal . Well, there have been possibility of a hostage deal . Well, there have been all those possibility of a hostage deal . Ii there have been all those leak, rumours and reports you have been talking about, clive, and i think one thing we have learned in the last six months is when the negotiations happen report like that come out and sometimes they are not correct. So we, i would just hang on a bit until a deal, if it comes, is announced but what may have changed is that the americans are very very keen to have one, joe biden is under a lot of pressure at home, to try to bring an end to all of this. It is costing him politically, and one way of doing it would be perhaps through a ceasefire. Now, those khan younis scenes today, since the israelis pulled out, there have been a load of people go back, trying to see if there is anything left of their home. Now all of that might play into the negotiations in cairo, because perhaps that is israeli withdrawal might be presented to hamas as a bit of a concession but at the same time, mr netanyahu has Just Announced that the, he had a date for an Offensive On Rafah so the troops would go back, that is a gesture to his own right wing and needs them to try to stay in power, so what i am trying to say, is there is a lot of politics, diplomacy and negotiations going on, it is fluid, and it is difficult, and no deal is guaranteed. 0k, guaranteed. Ok, jeremy, thank you. Two men have beenjailed for life for the murder of the footballer cody fisher, who was stabbed to death in a nightclub in birmingham on boxing day in 2022. Remy gordon on the left will have to serve at least 26 years, and Kami Carpenter must serve a minimum of 25 years. Theres new evidence that People Living with long covid have inflammation in their blood, and this may provide clues as to how best to treat the condition. A uk study of hundreds of patients whove been seriously ill with covid, suggests the Immune System remains overactive long after the virus has cleared from the body. Fergus walsh is here with the full story. Millions of people have been affected by long covid, and although most eventually make a full recovery, some struggle with symptoms for months or even years. The study followed more than 650 patients in the uk whod all been to hospital with severe covid. Six months on, two in three were still experiencing symptoms, including heart and lung problems, such as shortness of breath, fatigue, gut issues, anxiety, depression and brain fog. The researchers analysed their blood and found these proteins chemicals which are markers for inflammation of the Immune System which are useful while the body is fighting an infection, but not once a virus is gone. Scientists say there is strong evidence that long covid is caused ljy evidence that long covid is caused by different types of post viral inflammation. By different types of post viral inflammation. This is really exciting for us, i its the biggest study of its type, its taken a long time for us to get this far, | but it is finally pointing to some very specific pathways that i might be underlying long covid that could be targeted in future trials i and treatment. This is tracey evans she was a Care Assistant before Contracting Covid in early 2021. Tracy ended up on a ventilator in hospital, and three years on she cant work due to a raft of long covid symptoms. I have fatigue so bad evenjust Changing A Pillowcase on a bed, its breathless. I cant walk far. Even to the local shop, which isnt far, i cant walk. I have shooting pains all over my body. Ive got really bad brain fog, i forget what im saying, i forget what things are. So if somebodys talking to me, i canjust stare at them blank. A blood test to help diagnose long covid is still some way off. But it could lead to new treatments with existing drugs being trialled to target areas of the Immune System which are triggered by long covid. Thank you. Our top story this evening the nationwide man hunt is under way for a man suspected of stabbing to death a woman in bradford. And later we will have more on the eclipse and where you may best see it.
