The Prime Minister has promised tougher sentences for violent offenders following the attack on London Bridge on friday. Ministers have launched an urgent review of the licence conditions of every convicted terrorist who has been freed from prison amid criticism of the attackers Early Release from prison. Usman khan, who killed two people and injured three others, before he was shot dead by police, had been released halfway through a 16 year sentence he was serving for his role in an alqaeda inspired plot. He was out on licence and wearing an electronic tag when he started attacking people at a conference on prisoner rehabilitation. Borisjohnson told the Bbcs Andrew Marr that automatic Early Release of criminals would end. tx he was sentenced under labours system that allowed him to be released automatically having served only eight years and when the judges reviewed his case in 2012 they determined that he could come out effectively after only eight years. Your government got rid of vip ipps and it was said that they will be tougher conditions on release. That did not happen. What i have said since coming to office in the last three or four months is i think this whole system of automatic Early Release, which was brought in under labour. You have been in power for ten years. I have only been in office a short time. One of the reasons we are having this election is we have a queens speech which was blocked by parliament and we need to get brexit done so we can move forward. It is ridiculous and repulsive but individuals as dangerous as this man should be allowed out after serving only eight yea rs allowed out after serving only eight years and that is why we are going to change the law. We are told he was under strict conditions. What we re was under strict conditions. What were they . There were a number of conditions attached to his licence andi conditions attached to his licence and i am not going to go into the details. I have seen them. Nothing that was capable of being done could have really changed the way he behaved. The problem was that this individual should have been in prison. Under the conservatives he was let out. Because of conservative decisions. Because of changes to the law that were brought in by the labour party that i voted against. You have been in powerfor ten years and you have done nothing about it. Jeremy corbyn voted in favour of automatic Early Release. In ten yea rs automatic Early Release. In ten years you automatic Early Release. In ten yea rs you have automatic Early Release. In ten years you have done nothing about it. You cannot change the basis on which someone is sentenced. The conservatives have talked in the past about longer sentencing but a renewed focus on that. One thing we are going to hear that isnt in the manifesto is this pledge that people who commit serious terrorist offences would have to serve a minimum of 1a years. He is also going to talk about ending the automatic release system, where people who commit offences are automatically released after serving half of their sentence, and some of them a little later than that. In terms of labour, they are also focusing on this, sojeremy corbyn giving a speech later in york focusing on security and he is going to be talking about the funding aspect, saying you cannot expect to keep people safe on the cheap, drawing attention to the past few years of austerity under the conservatives where he says cuts to policing and the Probation Service have played a part in all of this. He has been speaking to sky news and he was asked whether he thought that sentences should be extended for people in this situation. It depends on the circumstances, it depends on the sentence, but crucially, depends on what they have done in prison. So, not necessarily then . No, not necessarily. I think there has to be an examination of how our Prison Services work and crucially what happens when someone is released from prison. Because i need to know whether or not the parole board were involved in his release. Apparently, they were not. They make that statement quite quickly after yesterdays terrible incident. Secondly, there was apparently no Probation Service involvement in monitoring this former prisoner who after all had only served half a sentence and he came out i think a year ago and there has to be an examination of what goes on in the prison because prisons ought to be a place where people are put away because of major, serious offences, but also a place where rehabilitation takes place. Labour also talking about the nhs, their other key election issue, drawing attention to figures that six million patients waited more than two weeks for an appointment with a gp in october. The nhs is one of the big Campaign Issues for labour and the conservatives and all of the parties involved in this election, aside from brexit. The liberal democrats have criticised labour and the conservatives for using the terrorist incident at London Bridge as a political football in the general election campaign. The partys Foreign Affairs spokesman chuka umunna said there were questions to be answered about the attack. Clearly, the system needs to be looked at. But the facts are this. The assailant, the person who committed the attacks here, was jailed under a regime inherited by the Coalition Government from a Labour Government and then he was released early under a conservative government. So, this happened under governments of different political persuasions and the changes that need to be made, frankly, i think the focus has to be on properly funding the parole board, properly funding the Probation Services, and let us remember, i think the Prime Minister has been dishonest. Those things were cut under the liberal democrats when you were part of the coalition. Like i said, this is why it is difficult to try and play political games with this. And let us not forget, actually, that if this particular individual had been convicted for doing what he did now, he would not have been released early, he would have to serve at least two thirds of his sentence, and he would have only been released if the parole board deemed that he didnt pose a threat to the public. So, i think lets draw a line under the silly political games being played with this terrorist incident and just focus on what needs to happen to make sure it doesnt happen again. Lets cross to London Bridge now, where we can speak to our correspondent greg mckenzie. What is the situation there today . Are things getting back to normal . Just behind me is the scene on London Bridge. The forensic tent that marks the exact spot where 28 year old usman khan was shot dead by armed officers has been removed but many of the buses and vehicles are still on the bridge this morning. That friday afternoon people were simply told to evacuate the bridge, get away. There was lots of confusion. Many people running, screaming, lots of confusion, pandemonium. Two people killed, three others seriously injured, currently recovering in hospital. The big question is how and why this happened. The ministry ofjustice has launched an urgent review into the licensing conditions of those released from jail following terrorist activities. Usman khan was one of those convicted in 2012 for a plot to carry out bombing the London Stock Exchange group. He was given 16 years. He was released after eight years in december 2018. As far as the metropolitan police are concerned he was complying with strict licensing conditions. 0ne concerned he was complying with strict licensing conditions. One of those conditions meant that he had to attend regularly a Rehabilitation Programme to deradicalised him of his alqaeda ideology is. He then went on to carry out that attack and questions are being asked about why he was released so early. This morning there will be a Church Service to remember those who have lost their lives and those currently recovering in hospital. Thank you. Bbc breakfast has been speaking to jonathan hall, the independent reviewer of terrorism legislation about the law on Early Release. It is important to start by saying the law has now changed. The law that applied to usman khan is now different. What happened was he was originally given a sentence called detention for public protection. He was just under 21, so he had a special sentence called detention for public protection, which meant he could only be released if the parole board said he was safe to be released. He then appealed his sentence and he was in fact one of a large number of men involved in terrorist offences, one group of these men had not been given these sorts of sentences and he had and the court of appeal felt there was disparity and they were being treated unequally, if one group was given one sentence and one was given another sentence, so they adjusted the sentence and they imposed what they called a determinant sentence, that is a fixed period of imprisonment, on usman khan. This is the bit that has changed. At that stage, the law was that you had to be released at the halfway stage. And so he was released and he was released on licence. The parole board would have had nothing to do with it at that stage. Now, in 2012, in other words after the offence he was convicted of, the law did change and that said that you then could only be released from these sorts of very serious long sentences if the parole board said so after the two thirds point and that is the law that now applies. The Prime Minister has said this weekend it is a mistake to let violent offenders out halfway through the sentence, especially where terrorism is concerned. Labour meanwhile have raised issues of cuts to probation and parole services. Does the law need to change to deal with the risk of terrorism and do you think tougher sentences are the right course of action . I think it is important to note the sort of individual one is dealing with with usman khan is particularly difficult to stop. He was an old generation jihadi, someone involved in a classic alqaeda plot involving lots and lots of people. Fortunately, that was intercepted by the Security Services and he was prosecuted. What he did at London Bridge a few days ago was a new generation low sophistication attack, not necessarily. It doesnt appear as if anyone else was involved. Those are highly difficult to detect and to prevent. So, even if he was under quite strict conditions, and he was, as we know, under licence conditions, which included a tag, those things are very difficult to stop, so i think one ought to be cautious about saying there are measures that would have definitely prevented this happening. I spoke to dal babu, a former chief superintendent of the metropolitan police, a little earlier. He explained the polices role when a prisoner is released on licence. The Police Gather the intelligence. Crimes happen in neighbourhood areas and they get solved, and you rely on the Police Officers in the neighbourhood to gather intelligence, working in conjunction with the Probation Service, to monitor individuals and look at whether they are adhering to their conditions, and what we have had is a 22,000 reduction in Police Officers, 18,500 reduction in police staff, so the majority of that reduction has been in neighbourhood policing. What is the difference between police staff and Police Officers . It is almost as big a cut. When i was borough commander i think police staff played an equally Important Role as Police Officers, so there would be Community Support officers theres been a significant reduction in those numbers there would be intelligence officers, once Police Officers have gathered the intelligence you need people to analyse that information, there would also be people liaising directly with probation and social workers and youth workers, so that kind of glue Holding People together has been reduced and all that has happened is Police Officers are being taken off the street in order to fulfil those roles. What plans have the various parties come up with to replace the police staff . The conservatives want to recruit more officers but you cant do that in a hurry. No, you cant turn a civilian into a Police Officer. It is a different mindset and it will take time. I had the benefit of a 20 month Residential Training Programme before i became a Police Officer and a lot of it is done online now so it will take time. This is not going to be done overnight. We have lost a lot of the infrastructure. Police stations have been shut. Simple things like lockers where would you put the Police Officers . Where would they be stationed . I dont know what will be done about replacing the police staff. Usman khan was part of a programme to help rehabilitate him. How effective are these programmes . Clearly we have had a number of difficulties with the prevent programme. 18 months ago when you had an attack on London Bridge one of the suspects who was part of the team that murdered eight people, his brother was living in the same house and was a recipient of a £10,000 grant from prevent. You had one brother who was a terrorist and the other working on the governments anti radicalisation programme. We have to have a review of this. Lord carlisle is conducting an independent review but clearly there has been some shortcomings in how people have been identified and the fact they are on programmes and still going out to commit offences. General election campaigning is expected to resume fully from tomorrow following a more muted tone this weekend in light of fridays terror attack. Later today, the labour leader will be setting out the partys plans for simplifying train ticket sales. Theyre proposing a Central Online booking site, to replace what they say is a confusing system of ticket sales by seperate privately owned train operators.

Uk the headlines on bbc news the government is reviewing the licence conditions of every convicted terrorist freed from prison, after the attack at London Bridge.

Pro democracy protesters in hong kong march towards the american consulate to thank washington for its support for their movement. More protests are taking place in hong kong today as pro democracy demonstrations continue. Police fired tear gas as thousands of protesters marched to the american consulate to express gratitude for washingtons support for the movement. Thats after a decision last week by President Trump to sign a bill that supported the demand for greater freedoms. Lets get the latest now from our correspondent in hong kong, nick beake. What is the atmosphere during these protests . What is the atmosphere during these protests . About an hour ago when we last spoke at looks like it was finally poised and it could turn into the sort of violence we had seen a lot of over the past five or six months. As we have lost the light in the last hour or so a lot of people have ebbed away and gone home. We think there are some pockets of disturbances but not of a large scale. The police seem to be moving around quite a lot. They have fired some tear gas and there were pictures of them using pepper spray after a group of riot officers were set upon by some hard core protesters. In terms of the response today the police have given the go ahead to this official march which has been taking place but they have also been blocking a lot of streets to stop people veering off of the official route and so far that has been effective. In terms of overall support thousands of people on the streets once again saying they are fighting for freedom and democracy. Highly antagonistic towards the authorities has the support from washington been . Yes, the chinese have absolutely been furious with the decision by President Trump during the week to basically endorse this Pro Democracy Movement at the same time that the protesters have been absolutely lovely what they see as an endorsement. Chatting to people earlier they feel this was two victories because on sunday last week the pro democracy candidates in the district elections triumphed taking 17 of the 18 District Councils here and then in the week President Trump sign this legislation meaning that every year the americans will look at hong kong and makea the americans will look at hong kong and make a judgment as to whether beijing is rolling essential liberties and all the freedoms people say they want to hold onto, so there is a spring in the step of the protest Movement Today and a lot of people talking online feel they have made their point at the ballot box last week and may be this weekend is not the one for lots of violence and headline grabbing action. It seems they are taking stock and working out what they do next because they are up against china and the government here as they see it and they want a better strategy many believe that they are going to have any sort of long term success and that is very difficult. Thank you. Sport, and a full round up from the bbc sport centre. Lets start with cricket, and joe roots managed to play himself into a bit of form in englands second test against new zealand. The captains been short of runs recently, but hes scored an unbeaten century in hamilton overnight thats just his second 100 in the last year. Rory burns also got a century as rain stopped play with england 269 5, still 106 runs behind new zealand. To the premier league now and it may only be the beginning of december, but you get the feeling that Manchester City might already feel that their title is slipping away. Thats after liverpool extended their lead over city to 11 points by beating brighton 2 1. Two Virgil Van Dijk headers in the space of six first half minutes enough for the win, which also means theyve equalled the clubs longest ever unbeaten run. As for city, they dropped points again, this time at newcastle where they were held to a 2 2 draw. It means pep guardiolas side have have now dropped 13 points this seasons. At the other end of the table, it looks like watfords Quiqe Sanchez Flores is about to become the latest manager to lose his job. His side lost again yesterday 2 1 to southampton leaving them well adrift at the bottom of the league table. Its his second stint at vicarage road, having only re joined in september whenjavi gracia was sacked. Watford have only won once since flores took over.

Wales have drawn switzerland and turkey in their Opening Group games and face a long trip to azerbaijan. Their final and face a long trip to azerbaijan. Theirfinal group and face a long trip to azerbaijan. Their final group match with and face a long trip to azerbaijan. Theirfinal group match with italy will be in rome. Wales produced an equally impressive run of their own losing to the reigning champions portugal three years ago. Ryan gregson aware success this time more rest on keeping star players fit.

The tournament kicks off onjune the 12th with italy taking on turkey. Matches will be played in 12 whole cities across europe with ink on stage in the semi finals and final which means england could play at least five matches at home if they make it that far. England are genuine contenders that wales will be hoping for another strong showing after reaching the semi finals last time. With scotland and Northern Ireland it is still possible they could join in their and their remains interest for all the home nations. There is plenty more on the website. Rugby star Gareth Thomas says he wants his everlasting legacy to be greater awareness of hiv, after revealing his own positive diagnosis back in september. The former wales rugby captain has been speaking to prince harry in an interview for the Terrence Higgins trust, as part of world aids day. Youve got a new purpose in life and youve turned a negative into a positive. Yeah. And ill tell you what i feel like. And this is the truth, mate. I always felt that my life was to play rugby and to represent wales, which i did with all the passion i have, right . But i actually feel that my rugby gave me the platform to actually do what im doing now. And i believe what i do now, like, what i do now is really what i care about. Because theres not many people from a simple life like ive come from who could have the power to change other peoples lives. Thats, like. Its one of the most fulfilling things. It blows me away. I sit down with my parents sometimes and we look at my trophy cabinet, which im really proud of. Its big. Yeah, its big, its big. But i look and i think, you know what, theyll gather dust and theyll go away and theyll be forgotten about. But id like to think where we go on this journey of education and breaking stigma around hiv is something i will have a legacy everlasting. There is a 2030 goal and youve now just signed up as a commissioner. Yes. Im going to be a commissioner to sit on a panel with a group of people, we have a common goal that in ten years time within england there will be zero new transmissions of hiv. Now, this whole thing might be bizarre anyway, like, were sitting in a rugby ground, me and you having a chat about hiv, talking about zero transmissions of hiv in ten years time. Like, i cant believe that were actually at a point where thats a reality. But it is. It is a reality. And its something that, for me, its my next step. We know theres a hell of a lot to do but what youve managed to do in the space of, you know, six or eight weeks has been transformational. Genuinely transformational. As you said, we should all know our status. And if its treated just the same as any other virus thats exactly what should be happening. Yeah. From my perspective, all i can do is thank you for the difference that youve made and the lives you are saving on a daily basis now. And you will have every single one of us backing you the whole way. Youre not in this alone. Youre not. You now know that. I know. You put the trust in the british public. And quite rightly. You know, they support you all the way. Hundreds of people have been woken up overnight by a loud bang across north london and hertfordshire. Social media users reported hearing the noise from london, up to luton and stevenage, and even as far as cambridge. The metropolitan police has since tweeted it was a sonic boom from planes that were launched from raf coningsby in lincolnshire. Its thought they were responding to a perceived threat from a plane that wasnt responding to radio communications. It later re established contact and police say there is no cause for concern. 0ur correspondent andy moore said residents heard what sounded like an explosion. You can imagine after friday people concerned about that. One person told the bbc he was petrified. He said it sparked a primal fear. We know now that it was two jets launched from raf coningsby and this is part of the rafs Quick Reaction alert procedures, so they are on duty 2a hours a day to protect british airspace if there is believed to be a threat. On this occasion, there was a plane flying over Central London which was not responding to radio calls. The raf had to get out and check it was ok and they had to get there fast, so they put their foot to the floor metaphorically and they break through the sound barrier, which is the sonic boom you hear, but everything was ok, they intercepted the jet and it re established communications and came back safely. Some peoples sleep may have been disturbed but it is nice to know that the raf are watching over us day and night. It is. We need to do the science bit. What is a sonic boom . It is the pressure waves generated when an aircraft goes through the sound barrier, normally about 700 miles an hour. Your normal passengerjet will not get anywhere near that. It is like a wave that travels through the air and reaches different points on the earths surface at different times. If you crack a whip the tip will go through the sound barrier and that is what you hear. Now its time for a look at the weather with sarah. They cold frosty start to the first day of meteorological winter, 1st of december, mist and fog now starting to clear away and through the rest of today, things looking mostly dry and sunny. Some rogue showers in the afternoon in parts of east anglia, east coast of england, northern scotland. Most other places, dry, patchy cloud lingering but certainly feeling pretty chilly. Fairly light winds and sunshine to compensate. Clear skies tonight across england and wales particularly, more cloud for Northern Ireland and scotland and rain in the north west. Not as cold here as it was last night. Sharp cross bleep frost across england and wales. Sharp frost. Fog clearing first thing. Slightly cloudierfor northern fog clearing first thing. Slightly cloudier for Northern Ireland and scotla nd cloudier for Northern Ireland and scotland with patchy rain. Another cold day with highs of 6 9d. Goodbye. Hello, this is bbc news. The headlines
