Our correspondent frances read in croydon gave us the latest. Yes, this is quite a fast moving investigation at the moment. In the last couple of hours police have given us more details.

But officers have also released more details about the investigation and a little bit more about their involvement in what happened. They say they were on the scene within two minutes of that fatal stabbing occurring, but unfortunately, they were not able to help elianne. We heard about the Air Ambulance and paramedics also not being able to save her life. Homicide detectives have been working on this case.

I think people across the country have been really shocked by this, especially people with children, to think that a 15 Year Old Girl was in her School Uniform in broad daylight, on her way to school. I think a lot of people have questioned how that could happen. The Prime Minister has said that he is just horrified by what happened. As well as the mayor of london. So i think a lot of people have been questioning how that can happen. Idris elba, the actor, has also been saying that he thinks there needs to be better punishment and things like that to deter people from doing anything like this in the first place. Frances read speaking to me earlier. In the netherlands, police have arrested a man after two shootings in rotterdam. At least three people died in the attacks at a house and a medical centre. Dutch police said the gunman was known to them. He was convicted of Animal Cruelty two years ago. Anna holligan is in rotterdam with the latest. This is indeed where one of the shootings took place. The gunman went on a rampage year. The students, the doctors, the patients, were evacuated. Notes were posted to some of the windows, people letting the Emergency Services know where they were. There were fears they would be stuck inside. He was eventually arrested underneath a helipad at the back of the hospital. There have been photos shared on social media of a man in Combat Gear Being engulfed. In terms of the mood, it is interesting. You might be able to hear some students in the background. This is one of the main student hubs in rotterdam. Although students at the University Medical centre have been given the day off, there are other students around here and they are clearly quite captivated by the media presence. But beyond that, this man, the suspect, has been identified as mr nunez feijoo. He was known to the authorities. More details have emerged. He was a 32 year old from rotterdam. He was a student here. Fouad l. It looks as if previous warnings about his troublesome behaviour may have been ignored by the university. A note was shared by the university. A note was shared by the suspects a few months ago on the Social Media Platform for channel, which the Public Prosecution service has confirmed as being authentic, in which they warned the hospital that he had displayed psychotic behaviour. There was one incident in which he was found half naked in a garden. And also, during that previous conviction, where police went through his phone, they found images of stabbings and far right extremist paraphernalia. Butjust to be very clear, the number of fatalities, three so far, it is not thought anyone else was targeted. It looks as though he was acting alone. And on some kind of personal, rather than any kind of political vendetta. But the fact he was a student here. The fact they suspect, the main suspect, was a student, has been accused of multiple murderers murders, one of the lecturers is among the dead. 0ne murders, one of the lecturers is among the dead. One of the shootings took place in a classroom. Ali3 year old lecturer shot dead. That is effective students at that university. For others, the younger children arrived arriving at other schools and colleges around this area, for a lot of them, they are shocked by what happened, but also quite intrigued by the fact there are so manyjournalists are now covering this story. Anna holligan in rotterdam. Around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. Lets look at some other stories making news. More than one in 20 children are sleeping on the floor because they dont have a bed of their own. New research by the Charity Barnardos have found so called bed poverty is on the rise amid the cost of livid crisis. The government says its providing record levels of support to families. A ban on some Single Use Plastics is due to come into force across england this weekend. From sunday businesses will have to stop have to stop using single use plastic cutlery, plates and containers.

Electricity thefts are where meters are tampered with or bypassed to avoid paying for energy. Thefts have grown by more than 75 since 2012. Youre live with bbc news. Next, lets look at developments out of Nagorno Karabakh, a landlocked area in the south causcaus mountains. Its internationally recognised as part of azerbaijan, but for three decades has been controlled and largely occupied by armenians. On thursday, the separatist leader of the region declared an end to the struggle for independence from azerbaijan, concluding more than 30 years of separatist rule. More than 75,000 Ethnic Armenians well over half the population have now left for neighbouring armenia. And more are expected to leave in the coming days. Earlier we heard from Vusal Hamzayev from bbc azeri. I started by asking him what azerbaijani leaders are saying about the situation. Azerbaijani officials are calling for them to stay. They say that you can stay in your homes and they have presented a new website for the reintegration programme. They say you can register through that website so we know what your needs are. Armenians say theyre scared. They dont want to stay with azerbaijanis in karabakh. Just talk me through this sense of being scared. Why are they scared . They say we dont know what will happen to us when the Azerbaijani Army enter khankendi stepanakert. Theres this notion of. They dont have much information to be honest with you. They just see the Video Footage and they are scared. Thats what theyre saying to ourjournalists. Have you managed to speak to any armenians . What are they saying to you . What do they want . We havent managed to speak to anyone in stepanakert khankendi. But the journalists who were in the border between armenia and azerbaijan spoke to some armenians who left karabakh. What has the reaction been since the announcement by the separatist leaders that Nagorno Karabakh will cease to exist . This follows demands from azerbaijan to surrender and cease to exist all the institutions in karabakh. But we havent heard anything from the officials yet, especially regarding this decree. Members of the Spanish Parliament will on friday vote for a second time on whether to appoint Popular Party leader Alberto Nunez feijoo as Prime Minister. Feijoo failed to obtain enough support on wednesday to form a government. The Popular Party won the most votes injuly� s national election, but fell short of a majority, and has struggled to attract sufficient coalition partners. Mr feijoo is also expected to lose fridays vote. If that happens, spains sitting Prime Minister, the socialist pedro sanchez, would then be offered the chance to form a governing coalition. 0ur correspondent in madrid, guy hedgecoe updated us earlier on what to expect. This vote will take place sometime this afternoon. We dont know the exact time. There may be some debate beforehand. But this would be the second vote that mr nunez feijoo is faced this week, the second and final vote, faced this week, the second and finalvote, because faced this week, the second and final vote, because he lost the vote on wednesday when he needed an absolute majority. He fell four votes short. Today all he needs is a simple majority, more yes votes than no vaults. But again he is expected to fall short because the only party that appears willing, the only main party that appears willing to support his conservatives, is the far right vox. Even with the support of vox he does not have enough votes to form a majority. There are other parties that perhaps in other circumstances may have supported him, but the fact vox is helping them, they dont like that. That leaves him isolated. We do expect him to lose this vote. Leaves him isolated. We do expect him to lose this vote. What happens if he does lose him to lose this vote. What happens if he does lose this him to lose this vote. What happens if he does lose this vote . Him to lose this vote. What happens if he does lose this vote . Well, him to lose this vote. What happens if he does lose this vote . Well, if. If he does lose this vote . Well, if he loses that if he does lose this vote . Well, if he loses that vote, if he does lose this vote . Well, if he loses that vote, pedro if he does lose this vote . Well, if. He loses that vote, pedro sanchez, acting Prime Minister, the socialist leader, will be invited by the king to form a government himself. He will go through the same process that mr nunez feijoo has gone through. In the coming weeks, possibly as soon as late october, mr sanchez could face in a vestige of out himself. He would, in the meantime, have to try to get support from other parties. He has the support of parties to his left. The big question is whether he can get the support of catalan nationalist, who is backing he really needs i
