sighting of daniel khaleef, the 21—year—old terror and spying suspect, who escaped from wandsworth jail two days ago. —— daniel khalife. this is a new image of the former soldier, and a reward of £20,000 is now being offered for information leading to his recapture. a member of the public says they saw him crawl from beneath a van about a mile from the prison, still dressed in the chef's uniform he was wearing while working in the prison kitchen. detectives say he'd managed to cling onto the underside of the vehicle, using straps, as it left the jail. the met have released of images showing the chef's uniform daniel khalife would have been wearing as he escaped from the kitchens of the prison. the head of the metropolitan police also says the force is exploring the possibility of whether staff at wandsworth prison actually helped him escape. live now to new scotland yard, and our correspondent helena wilkinson. i think crucially, detectives now have something concrete potentially to work from. so they have released this information that a member of the public has contacted them, as we've been reporting, to say that they saw a man fitting daniel khalife's description walking away from a food van — the same van that daniel khalife used to strap himself to the underside when he escaped from wandsworth prison. so a sighting by a member of the public — and what detectives will be doing very quickly, this sighting was around the wandsworth round about, they also say that shortly after that, the man who is a member of the public thinks was daniel khalife, was then seen walking towards wandsworth town centre. so what detectives will be doing now clearly is focusing a lot of their efforts on that area, they will no doubt be doing door—to—door inquiries, so they'll be trying to gather as much information as they can. because if you like, they can almost start at that point and work from there to try and work out where he went after that. they again are urging members of the public to come forward with any kind of information. we heard earlier on from the commander who leads the met�*s counterterrorism command, dominic murphy, who told me in an interview earlier that this particular sighting is the first one they've got, and it's a significant development for them. alongside that, the metropolitan police are also issuing a reward — so they are offering a reward of £20,000, now thatis offering a reward of £20,000, now that is for information that leads to the arrest of daniel khalife. so there's the reward this afternoon of £20,000, there is a first sighting that detectives have told us about of daniel khalife. so a lot of focus will be on that area where he was cited by that member of the public. again, detectives are still saying their focus of investigations is on their focus of investigations is on the capital, london, but it is a uk wide search and are still not ruling out that he may have left the country. out that he may have left the count . . . ~ let's hear from commander dominic murphy, the head of the met�*s counter terrorism command. the first confirmed sighting is always very significant, it helps to build a picture of where daniel khalife may have travelled after the sighting. we've got a lot of officers and staff now working through that, and we are still dealing with lots of calls from members of the public. 0ver dealing with lots of calls from members of the public. over 100 calls so far, members of the public. 0ver100 calls so far, so we're really grateful for the public support so far. 0ur reporter courtney bembridge is in the newsroom with more detail on the locations involved. that's right, so we've been hearing a lot of place names from the police and our correspondent helena wilkinson there, but i want to show you if it were detailed the geography. so you'll be familiar by now with this, this is wandsworth prison. if we have a look at this main road, this yellow road here, this is the route the van took. so all slowly keep your eye on the prison they are as we move up this road — and as we get a mile down the road, so that's 1.6 km, we reach here, the wandsworth roundabout. now this is where that sighting was — and more specifically, it was here where these two roads converge. you can see there's six lanes of traffic here — this is trinity road, then it comes here, this road is believed to be where daniel khalife walked on foot down this road here, which takes you into the wandsworth towncenter. so now, where is wandsworth in relation to london? you can see over here, central london, westminster in this direction, then interestingly here is richmond park, where police had been searching — that search has now concluded. and you can see for reference, wandsworth is just concluded. and you can see for reference, wandsworth isjust here. so these are the kinds of locations — we should point out that this sighting was on wednesday morning, so some time ago. but now police have said it could be very significant. but they are still considering that he may have made his way out of the uk, so a very broad search under way. courtney, thank you. — broad search under way. courtney, thank you, that's _ broad search under way. courtney, thank you, that's very _ broad search under way. courtney, thank you, that's very helpful. - live now to mel thomas, who has over 30 years in experience at leicester police. and you may have seen him on channel 4's hunted, great to have you on the programme. we were looking at a map there with courtney, it brought home he could be anywhere. how do you even begin to find someone on a search like this? i to find someone on a search like this? ., ., , , , this? i mean honestly, the first thing that's _ this? i mean honestly, the first thing that's been _ this? i mean honestly, the first thing that's been noted - this? i mean honestly, the first thing that's been noted by - this? i mean honestly, the first thing that's been noted by the. thing that's been noted by the commander is the cooperation and help from the public, and that will be massive. and what i would say is to keep those calls coming in — really grateful, the organisation will be, for the calls from the public. and to those individually involved, these things only end up finishing one way, so i would appeal to you tojust finishing one way, so i would appeal to you to just give yourself up. and for anyone that's out there, please, please do not assist an offender. there are strict penalties, heavy penalties if you do assist an offender, so please, do not assist an offender. 50 offender, so please, do not assist an offender-— an offender. so you've mentioned there it's really _ an offender. so you've mentioned there it's really important, - an offender. so you've mentioned there it's really important, the . there it's really important, the information that comes from the public — but what other tools to police have at their disposal in a search like this?— police have at their disposal in a search like this? obviously things from the ground _ search like this? obviously things from the ground will— search like this? obviously things from the ground will be _ search like this? obviously things from the ground will be really - from the ground will be really important, but as has been mentioned, we are now quite a few hours into this investigation. so as we've said, the individual could be anywhere — could be still in the uk or abroad. anywhere — could be still in the uk orabroad. so anywhere — could be still in the uk or abroad. so the big thing is feet on the ground, officers out there, looking and searching for the individual — but the big thing really is the public, as in the eyes out there. when it comes to policing, a lot of the times the lucky break that police get are from the public actually observing and seeing individuals, but also individuals with cctv. we know that a lot of houses, premises and businesses have their own cctv. and the police, the government do not have access to that cctv, so if there is a sighting and people think they have seen, go to your cctv because that will give the police really good leads into where this individual may have gone. so daniel khalife does — individual may have gone. so daniel khalife does have _ individual may have gone. so daniel khalife does have military _ khalife does have military experience — how much of an advantage with that beat him in the situation kudela as you can see, it's beautiful weather at the moment, it's beautiful weather at the moment.— it's beautiful weather at the moment, ~ ., ., , ., moment, we know that it is warm, nice weather. _ moment, we know that it is warm, nice weather, it _ moment, we know that it is warm, nice weather, it is _ moment, we know that it is warm, nice weather, it is warm _ moment, we know that it is warm, nice weather, it is warm at night . moment, we know that it is warm, | nice weather, it is warm at night as well for sub so sleeping outside under the stars will not come as any surprise to anyone with military training. what you must remember democrat remember is we pride ourselves on having the best military in the world. so he's had some of the best training of the world and you do not become untrained when you leave the military, so he will still have that experience under his belt. but the big thing is resilience — does the individual have the resilience to stay out there, to stay unfound, to remain at large? and that will be the big key. remain at large? and that will be the his key-— the big key. you started out by sendin: the big key. you started out by sending a _ the big key. you started out by sending a message _ the big key. you started out by sending a message to - the big key. you started out by sending a message to daniel. the big key. you started out by - sending a message to daniel khalife, saying that this only ends one way — in your experience, just how impossible is it to completely disappear, and for how long can you keep it up?

well, as you mentioned, i appear on hunted, and when it - i appear on hunted, and when it comes to celebrities and members of the public going on the run, its different because we replicate the state in relation to cctv and things like that. when somebody decides to go undercover to go off the radar, yes, they can go off the radar, we know that if they don't carry any devices like phones, watches, things like that, or drive vehicles — because we know now all modern vehicles have trackers in them or some kind of network in them, so you can tell where they go. but if they decide to go into the rural and go completely off the radar, it is possible — but at some point, you have to surface, at some point you need water and food, and depending on who you are, you need some love and affection from loved ones, as well. you will rely on a network, they will need a network. so at some point they will surface, and hopefully that's when we will be able to catch up. it's about those small, little crew lose, breadcrumbs people drop will hopefully cracked the case. —— little clues, breadcrumbs people drop. mei the case. -- little clues, breadcrumbs --eole dro. ~ ., breadcrumbs people drop. mel thomas, thank ou. now to india — where international leaders have converged on delhi for the g20 summit a meeting of leaders of the world's 19 largest economies plus the european union. two of the most powerful leaders, china's president xi and russia's vladimir putin, aren't there. that won't stop russia's invasion of ukraine being a topic of discussion. 0ur political editor chris mason is travelling with rishi sunak. delhi this morning — drenched in a sweaty humidity, laden with history. the british prime minister of indian heritage, alongside his wife who was born here, visiting this former british colony as india host the world — or at least, a vast economic chunk of it. it's personally really special for me to be here in thisjob, india is a country that's near and dear to me, it's where my wife is from. but i come here as the british prime minister, and my story is not that dissimilarfrom millions of british people, the living bridge between india and the uk. security is always tight when world leaders descend anywhere, but rarely like this. we're now heading into the centre of delhi — the streets are deserted, hardly anyone around. given the scale of security. schools and offices closed — it feels like a lockdown. the star attraction for many here isn't the prime minister, but his wife, as they both joined indian school children to play football. remember, i'm not from delhi, i'm from south india. _ akshata murthy�*s parents are well—known here — her dad is a self—made billionaire. rishi sunak even suggested to reporters he has been called "india's son—in—law". the prime minister, like his predecessors since brexit, wants a uk—india free trade agreement as this country grows and grows fast. "hang on, though," says mr sunak. we can't rush it, and i won't rush it, i have always said i want to take the time to get trade deals right so they work for the british people, they work for the uk, and lots of progress has been made on this one, but we're not there yet. tonight, leaders are arriving here from all over the world. president biden greeted by the summit host, the indian prime minister, narendra modi. president putin of russia isn't here, he sent his foreign minister, sergei lavrov, instead. and president xi of china isn't here, either. we're excited to be here. for those that are, leaders and their spouses, the diplomacy here isjust beginning. the heavy slog of negotiation starts tomorrow. let's go over to yogita limaye. this is a very big moment for the country? it is a very big moment for the country?— is a very big moment for the count ? , ., ., ., , country? it is a rotating summit, but india country? it is a rotating summit, but india has _ country? it is a rotating summit, but india has turned _ country? it is a rotating summit, but india has turned it _ country? it is a rotating summit, but india has turned it into - but india has turned it into this mega event. and through it, it hopes to protect project itself as a voice for developing countries around the world. it hopes to showcase its position in the world. as far as the domestic audience goes, we are in the run up to an election year, and if you actually go to any street in delhi, you will see a poster with prime minister modi's face on it. so domestically, the thing this government is trying to tell voters here is that india is growing on the global stage, here is that india is growing on the globalstage, its here is that india is growing on the global stage, its prominence is growing, and the person who's done thatis growing, and the person who's done that is prime minister modi. looking at the agenda _ that is prime minister modi. looking at the agenda for _ that is prime minister modi. looking at the agenda for this _ that is prime minister modi. looking at the agenda for this year's - at the agenda for this year's summit, what are the hosts, what is india pushing for it to be on the top of that agenda? 50 india pushing for it to be on the top of that agenda?— india pushing for it to be on the top of that agenda? so the war in ukraine is set _ top of that agenda? so the war in ukraine is set to _ top of that agenda? so the war in ukraine is set to dominate - top of that agenda? so the war in ukraine is set to dominate the . ukraine is set to dominate the agenda again this time around, and i think what india is really hoping for is that, despite disagreements and deep divisions, india itself has held a neutral stance on the war in ukraine, even though many countries have tried to get it to harden its position and call out moscow on the war. and it will continue to maintain that neutral position — so i think one difficulty is that the joint statement that india will be hoping will be issued at the end of the summit, what will the wording of that summit be? how strong can it be, what will countries agree to? so i think what a success will look like for this government as a host country is that if there is a joint statement issued, but it's also trying to push for is other issues like climate change, like, common framework for crypto for example. so if it's able to get more progress on wording for those statements, also try to that is a success.— try to that is a success. thank you so much. — try to that is a success. thank you so much. yogita _ try to that is a success. thank you so much, yogita limaye, - try to that is a success. thank you so much, yogita limaye, live - try to that is a success. thank you so much, yogita limaye, live for i so much, yogita limaye, live for us at the g20. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. let's look at some other stories making news. network rail has been fined £6.7 million after admitting failings which led to the deaths of three people in a train crash, near stonehaven. the aberdeen to glasgow service derailed after hitting a landslide, following heavy rain in august 2020. the driver of the train, a conductor, and a passenger died in the tragedy. another weight—loss injection has been given the green light for use on the nhs. tirzepatide, also known as mounjaro, could help about 180,000 people with type two diabetes. it's expected to be available for patients from early next year. research shows five millions disposable vapes are being thrown away each week in the uk, which is a fourfold increase over the past year. the campaign group material focus says fewer than one in five people recycle their vapes in the correct way. you're live with bbc news. in its first—ever reckoning of the world's progress in cutting carbon emissions, the united nations has warned we are way off track. the report says there is a "rapidly—narrowing window" to introduce existing commitments to limit global warming to 1.5 celsius. the un estimates the planet is currently due to warm by 2.4 centigrade above pre—industrial levels — far above the 1.5 degree target agreed in paris in 2015. here's un secretary—general antonion guterres. the climate crisis is spiralling out of control. the g20 countries are in control. together, the g20 countries are responsible for 80% of global emissions. half measures will not prevent full climate breakdown. 0ur climate editor justin rowlatt is here. so more bad news on climate?
