where a manhunt is continuing for a suspected terrorist who escaped from a london prison. daniel khalife escaped from wandsworth prison on wednesday morning, by clinging to the underside of a food delivery van. thejustice secretary has ordered an urgent investigation into what happened, and why the former soldier wasn't held in a higher security prison. our reporter simonjones has more. our correspondent simon jones has more from outside wandsworth prison. the manhunt for daniel khalife is very much ongoing this morning. i've spoken to the metropolitan police who are leading the investigation. they say there has been no breakthrough overnight. so their theory is that by now he could be anywhere in the uk, given the time that has passed since the escape. it was 2a hours ago that this prisoner managed to get out by clinging to the bottom of a van that had gone into the prison to deliver food. it actually sounds like something you might hear in a film, but here it was reality and it's causing a huge amount of concern. in terms of the hunt, we're told that there are going to be increased checks once again at ports and airports today in the uk in case he might be trying to leave the country. we know he has links to areas of london and also the north west of england. so counter—terrorism police are on the streets in london as part of the search. also other forces around the country on a state of high alert. but the reality is he has yet to be found. we're not aware of any particular police lines that they're actively pursuing. and for each hour that he remains on the run, it's going to increase the pressure on the prison service and also on the british government. and, of course, simon, there's controversy about whether daniel khalife should have been in wandsworth at all or in a higher security facility. yes. this was a man facing very serious charges. he had yet to go on trial and he had denied the offences he was accused of, but he was accused of planting fake bombs at the military barracks he used to be stationed at when he was a soldier. he was also accused of procuring information that could potentially be of use to a terrorist or potentially be of use to someone wanting to cause harm to the uk. so serious charges there. but he was being held at this prison, which is a category b prison. now, the category above that, category a, there are much tighter security operations in those prisons. so the government itself is asking the question, why wasn't he in a category a prison? so the prison service are now being asked to provide answers to that, also being asked to really explain how this could have happened, how this prisoner could have been able simply to cling to the undercarriage of a van. so plenty of questions for the government and opposition politicians saying really it adds to this sense of chaos with the uk government, opposition politicians saying you can't even trust the government to keep prisoners safely under lock and key. and a local labour mp here this morning said that back in december she found out that during one nightshift there were only seven members of staff available on duty to look after 1,500 prisoners. so real questions about how the prison service is being run. network rail has pleaded guilty over charges to health and safety fillings following an aberdeenshire train crash in which three people died. it has admitted it failed to ensure so far as was reasonably practical that railway workers not in its employment and members of the public travelling by train were not exposed to the risk of serious injury and death from train derailment as result of failures in construction and maintenance of draining in adverse and extreme weather planning. dozens of young autistic people have died after serious care failings, despite repeated warnings from coroners — bbc news has found. an investigation revealed more than 50 cases where health and social care authorities across england and wales were told to take action to prevent future deaths. our reporter ruth clegg has been following the stories of two young autistic women. i'm saffron. and i have a lot of problems, but that's not all about. i love rainbows, i love the colour yellow, and i really want to help people. this is saffie. we've been chatting for over six months now. we chat via video call, video message, like the one that you've seen here. she's autistic, she's bold, and she's ambitious. but she's also been in and out of mental health units for the past nine years. i mean, hospital, like, really sucks. i've been sectioned. there's been a lot of stress, and it's hard, but i'm going to get through this and things are going to get better, or, i don't know, that's really it. saffie took thisjust a few months ago. she was at a low ebb and her weight was dangerously low. she was being treated in a hospital on a general ward, because there were no specialist beds available. saffie's got an eating disorder linked to her autism, and she says she's never really got the help she so desperately needs. they didn't tackle the root of my disorder, which was not body image concern. for me, it was all bound up in sensory issues and rituals and rules, and keeping things the same. i wasn't allowed headphones at the table to cut out noise, being limited to three dislikes, despite all my sensory issues. i can't... i don't want to sound as if i'm complaining, but i'm very sensitive to things. every sense is very important to me. everything is amplified for me. during her latest admission, an independent panel reviewed saffie's care. they said staff did not fully understand her autism. every time saffie is admitted into hospital, her mum fears the worst. on each occasion she came out, partly weight—restored, however, damaged, traumatised, and her mental state got worse each time. 200 miles away, i meet another mum who knows that fear only too well. here's zoe's bedroom. we've got all the gymnastics pictures and her— cheerleading pictures. jean has kept zoe's bedroom exactly the same since she died three years ago. zoe were just an amazing, articulate person, - and she really- wanted to help people. but she just had so much to give this world. - zoe had been misdiagnosed as having a personality disorder. her mental health, which was already pretty fragile, began to go downhill. nobody listened to zoe - and they wouldn't listen to me. and zoe was just so desperate. ijust don't understand | why there is such a lack of understanding of autism. zoe just said, "i'm too tired. i can't fight any more. - "i can't fight. "the only way i can see to get rid of this diagnosis is to die." - zoe took her own life injune 2020. after her inquest, the coroner warned that a lack of understanding autism contributed to her death. he called for immediate action on a local and national level. and we have discovered that zoe is one of many. our investigation found that dozens of young autistic people have died following serious failings in their care, despite the repeated warnings from coroners. this is happening on a huge scale, and what we see is a story of systemic failure. so from the moment that an autistic person is born, they're late to get diagnosed, and then there's no actual plan for providing that right support from day one, which means that they're more likely to go on to experience mental health issues, the increased likelihood of ending up in places like inpatient care, and, tragically, experiencing health problems and potentially dying earlier than you would see in the general population. the government says autism training is being rolled out and it's spending over £4 million improving services. despite experiencing those very failings, saffie is home and is determined to get better. i don't know who i would be without units, and because of all these experiences, i want to help other people. i want to get the world understanding what it's like being autistic. she's now training to be a mental health nurse and says she is determined to protect other young people from life in a system that struggles to understand autism. ruth clegg, bbc news. if you've been affected by any of the issues mentioned in that report, there's help on the bbc website. visit bbc.co.uk/actionline. the head ofjapan�*s major male talent agency, julie fujishima, has resigned over allegations of sexual abuse by its late founder. the johnny and associates founder johnny kitagawa is accused of abusing a large number of young men from the 1950s through to the 2010s. kitagawa was arguably the most influentialfigure injapan�*s entertainment industry and his agency has held a near—monopoly onjapanese boy bands for decades. he died in 2019. now, it's a big day for the vauxhall plant at ellesmere port near liverpool. today it becomes the first car factory in britain to make electric vehicles only. it's also a world first for its owner — auto giant stellantis, which also owns peugeot and citroen,as it's the company's first—ever ev—only factory. later today the first combo electric van rolls off the production line. earlier, our correspondent hannah miller was in ellesmere port and told us about the atmosphere in the factory. people here certainly very excited this morning. this is a day that many people here didn't think would come, frankly, at certain times over the last decade or so. it's been a really turbulent time for the car industry, but the production line here is now up and running this morning. and we can talk to diane, who is the plant director here. morning to you. i mean, we'rejust trying to sum it up, really. how significant a day is this for you? it's huge. it's huge for the plant and the surrounding community. we are so proud to be the first all—electric van plant, all—electric vehicle plant, in fact, in the uk and globally for stellantis. so it's very significant for us. we've heard a lot in recent years about it being a difficult time and sort of threats ofjob losses and things in the car and automotive industry. were there times when you didn't think that this day would come? absolutely. 0urselves and the workforce thought for a while that the plant was actually going to close because we had no commitment of a new model. but we demonstrated to stellantis, our parent company, that ellesmere port vauxhall was able to do anything, totally adaptable, and they put a huge investment and huge trust and the people of ellesmere port. so we are so pleased and proud about that. i know you're hoping to make about 50,000 vans a year here. is there really the demand out there in the uk for those vans? absolutely. we will build all right—hand drive variants of citroen, fiat, vauxhall, opel, peugeot. but we also hope to build left—hand drive and export. so we cannot build enough of these vans at the moment and the demand is definitely out there. one of the things we hear a lot about is the batteries and the challenges of making batteries in the uk, the one gigafactory that's expected in somerset that's been announced. but aside from that, there isn't much battery capacity in the uk. is that something that you struggle with and what are you doing to get around it? yes, we would ideally like more gigafactories. it would be great if we could get the batteries from the uk because the more we localise the better. they're very heavy parts and to bring them in is very expensive. but we do, we bring the modules in, but we just put them together and to the big battery, which is what you see when you actually see underneath your van. so we still assemble them and we have about 22 people assembling them. so we put the big ones together and we would like a gigafactory to support as well, though. and you've obviously got a lot of hope in electric vehicles being the future. what do you think are the challenges in terms of convincing people to buy these models, which frankly, i think they are about £30,000 to buy one of these new. that's a lot of money. it is. but the cost of ownership is significantly less because you can charge and also you get benefits in kind tax. you have all those benefits. i think people don't like change. i think once they get in, anyone who has one is very impressed. it still has a big enough range for the amount of driving that people do by day. i suppose charging points and increasing the infrastructure is something that we need to work on. and as vauxhall we've got a partnership called electric streets, which is out there working with the charging suppliers to meet demand with the charging suppliers. diane, thank you very much for talking to us this morning. i know it's a really busy day for you and for everyone here. there is a real buzz in the air, a lot of hope here that this is the future of the car industry and that this will secure jobs for many years to come. more on the news chris pincher tapping down as an mp over groping allegations and it will mean a by—election in his constituency and staffordshire. after he lost his appeal to, staffordshire. after he lost his appealto, do staffordshire. after he lost his appeal to, do you think his resignation was inevitable? that are not many raised _ resignation was inevitable? that are not many raised eyebrows _ resignation was inevitable? that are not many raised eyebrows are - not many raised eyebrows are surprised people here at westminster over the announcement. this was widely expected that chris pincher would announce he was resigning triggering yet another by—election and england. the background is a standards committee gave him an eight week suspension which she appealed and he apologised for the incident and it was found he had groped two men at a london club but he contested the punishment which she said was disproportionate but once he had lost appeal i think a lot of people expected him to resign and for rishi sunak the prime minister it means another by—election and another tory held seat because that is also mid bedfordshire coming up probably on the same date in tamworth. the conservative party will try to defend seats they have held and the context is that a general election is likely coming up very soon, probably sometime next year and rishi sunak trying to reset the narrative that he is very behind in the polls and it will be a huge struggle for him at the next election with labour riding much higher so it will be a political test for him. some relief these by—elections will land after the conservative party conference. how will rishi sunak _ conservative party conference. how will rishi sunak and the conservative party view the prospect of yet another by—election? you're like there have been a few recently. although they did hold on to the former seat of although they did hold on to the former sea— former seat of boris johnson in london. former seat of boris johnson in london- the — former seat of boris johnson in london. the seat _ former seat of boris johnson in london. the seat in _ former seat of boris johnson in london. the seat in tamworth | former seat of boris johnson in - london. the seat in tamworth that chris pincher will be vacating is unusual. an mp in another seat, which is being abolished, eddie hughes, is supposed to stand in tamworth at the next election so does he quit his current constituency and trigger a by—election, he is not prepared to do that so the conservatives hope to find someone who is willing to stand and if they win hold the seat to the next general election and then give it to another candidate, eddie hughes, for the next general election so the conservative party has got into a bit of a model in terms of this seat and probably won't help their case in terms of selling the candidate to constituents if they say this individual will not actually be the candidate at the general election, we have lined up to someone else. this year marks the 60th anniversary of the march on washington where martin luther king junior gave his famous i have a dream speech. the march was one of the biggest rallies for human rights in us history. now a film, called rustin, focusing on an overlooked figure who organized the event, has just had its world premiere and already there's talk of 0scars glory. from the telluride film festival, where the film was launched, tom brook reports. 0wn your power. rustin is a portrait of bayard rustin, portrayed powerfully by actor colman domingo. black, white, young, old, rich, working class, poor, will descend on washington, dc... rustin, born in 1912, was a key architect of one of the most momentous events in 20th century us history, the 1963 civil rights march on washington, where martin luther king gave his famous "i have a dream" speech. this year is the 60th anniversary of the march on washington. it was one of the largest rallies for human rights ever held in the us. it brought forth real change, credited with building momentum for the passage of the landmark 1964 civil rights act. bayard rustin�*s role in organising the march has been overlooked. it's been speculated that was partly because he was gay. george c wolfe passionately wanted to tell his story. there wouldn't have been a march without bayard rustin. his brain, his organisational brain was phenomenal. he was able to engage a group of young kids in late teens, early 20s, to do all the hard, detailed work which allowed the march to happen. he had this brain, he could convince anybody of anything, and he was able to garner the respect of everybody with whom he came into contact, even those people who did not want to respect him. people have obviously heard of martin luther king, the march on washington, "i have a dream," that speech, but they haven't heard so much about bayard rustin. was part of the aim of you making this film to really call attention to his contribution? without question. but more so than that, it's like he was an activist of extraordinary power and command, and he had information — information that was lost when he died. and so that information needs to be passed on. he has scenes where he's organising and challenging and pushing the young kids to do what they need to do. that's very important to know. it's not just passion. it's having the logistics that go along with the passion, that's how you bring about a movement. that's how you bring about change. and that information needs to be known the world over. and it is known in some places, but a lot of places it's not. passion is not enough. in this country a good ten, 15 years. 0n the day that i was born black, i was also born homosexual. he was a gay man, and what comes across in the film, in a way, is that he had a lot of self—respect and he was living in a time that was actually very homophobic, yet he didn't internalise that. where did that self—respect come from, in a way? i think there's something very interesting — the fact that he was a quaker and the tolerance of quaker religion served him very well in that respect. and also, i think on a real level, he was busy. he was busy changing the world. he didn't have time to be ashamed. the film went over well at its world premiere here in telluride a few days ago. some critics, though, thought the performance of its leading man, colman domingo, was more impressive than the movie itself. in fact, his portrayal of bayard rustin has made him a strong contender in next year's 0scars race. i believe in freedom. tom brook, bbc news, telluride. a piano used by freddie mercury to compose some of queen's biggest hits has been sold at auction for £1.7 million. bohemian rhapsody, killer queen and don't stop me now were among the songs he wrote at the yamaha baby grand, which he kept in his london home. hundreds of other personal items went under the hammer, including stage costumes, a collection of kimonos and a moustache comb. a turtle who was rescued in north wales after being swept across the atlantic is now back in her native waters, 4,000 miles away. last week we told you how tally the turtle, who was named after talacre beach, near prestatyn, where she was found by a dog—walker nearly two years ago, had been flown back to a zoo in texas. she's now been released back into the warm waters of the gulf of mexico, after being deemed strong enough to survive in the wild. the news was welcomed by the raf, which had helped to transport her. just time for one more story, from japan into space. the tanegashima space center has successfully launched a rocket carrying a small lunar lander. this is the moment the craft left the center, south of the island of kyushu. japan's hoping the mission will successfully touch down on the near side of the moon early next year. if it does, it'll become just the fifth country to reach the lunar surface. we are expecting from the lord justice secretary who will speaking shortly. ministers are beginning to arrive in the house of commons ahead of that statement. now it's time for a look at the weather with simon king. hello there, for many parts of england and wales we're on day four of this september heatwave. lots of sunshine first thing this morning across many areas. that was the scene in suffolk. but across western parts we've had quite a bit of cloud and with that cloud, a few showers around south west england, wales, the midlands, into northern parts of england as well. some raindrops reaching the ground, but away from that, some sunshine and a bit of coastal mist and fog around the north sea coasts there. that will burn back to the coast, but right on that coastal stretch, it could be a bit cooler here, temperatures 17, 18 celsius. a few showers still around the irish sea coasts coming into south west scotland, the east of northern ireland. but widely with that sunshine, it's going to feel very warm, if not hot. temperatures up to 31 celsius in the south east of england. but through tonight, this is a haar, it's called, low cloud, mist and fog coming in back off the north sea. so, again, could be quite misty and murky for some eastern areas first thing tomorrow morning. and again, it could well be another uncomfortable night for sleeping, temperatures no lower than about 16 to 19 degrees. so we start off friday morning for many of us on a dry and a sunny note. but again, we'll have that low cloud, mist and fog across eastern parts burning back towards those coastal areas. we could see a bit of cloud, one or two showers coming into the far south west of england, but for most, again, another pretty hot sunny day. temperatures once again widely mid—to—high 20s, up to the low 30s in the south east, even up towards the north west of scotland. temperatures here, 23, 2a celsius. now, throughout the weekend, we start to see something a bit more unsettled with a weather front coming into northern and western areas. that will bring a few showers around. and you can see those showers coming their way in on saturday. but elsewhere, again, there could be a bit of cloud around first thing in the morning on saturday, but it's going to be another very warm, if not hot day. temperatures peaking perhaps on saturday at 33 degrees celsius. that will make it the warmest day of the year so far, but a little bit cooler, a bit fresher the further north and west you are. you can see that weather front as we go through next week, moves further south and eastward, it will shunt away that very warm if not hot air. so we see some yellows returning to our air mass picture and that means temperatures will start to come down to 17 or 18 celsius next week, from tuesday, really. and with that, some unsettled weather as well with some showers. bye— bye. live from london... this is bbc news. the hunt continues for a former soldier accused of terrorism — who escaped from prison in london by clinging to the underside of a delivery van. after a russian missile strike kills 16 people in eastern ukraine, the kremlin says it has downed several ukrainian drones near moscow overnight. the british mp chris pincher is to resign after losing an appeal against a suspension over groping allegations. and as the civil war in yemen grinds on, we have a special report from 0rla guerin about the extraordinary resilience of some of its youngest citizens. hello.
