Take us through what happened. Good afternoon. Yes, were here in the westgate area of bradford where the stabbing occurred. It happened on saturday afternoon in broad daylight, like you say, at around 320 in the afternoon. A around 320 in the afternoon. A 27 year old mother was the victim of the attack. She was pushing her baby in a pram. As the attack happened, people around her in the area, witnesses tried to help her and save her life, but tragically, she died. Now that nationwide manhunt is continuing, every police force in the country looking for habiba masum , a 25 looking for habiba masum, a 25 year old man hes described as slim and asian. Cctv footage shows him wearing a coat with three different colours and a light grey or blue tracksuit, and a grey hoodie. Police are saying do not approach this man if you see him, but report any sightings to them on 999 and anybody with information should come forward. Weve been speaking to a local greengrocer, geo khan. He was a witness as to what had happened. He helped the woman at the scene and this is what he told us earlier. So when i looked, she was lying down and the head was down and, you know, all i see at the back and the baby was the pram was there. And then i tried to check her nerves , his pulse, and, you nerves, his pulse, and, you know, she wasnt there. The police then within a few minutes, asian doctor comma , and minutes, asian doctor comma, and he goes, look, i am a doctor and let me check her. And he had his bag with him and he start checking and what we checking her and me and what we did, we turn her over and the blood over on the floor, blood was all over on the floor, on our body. And then there was a stubborn marks. Well, not marks, but wound on the neck. It was disgusting. Actually. I couldnt take it in, but i tried my best to, you know what i mean . Calm myself down. Just truly shocking what geo khan witnessed. He said that the woman was a customer of his shop, that hed. That shed been going there for several weeks. He said that she was a lovely woman who was warm and always had a smile, and that his heart goes out to her family and of course, the child as well , who course, the child as well, who will be now brought up without a mother as a result of whats happened. Pouce mother as a result of whats happened. Police say that the victim was known to masoom. They havent gone into detail as to what that relationship was, but that the two were known to one another. The community are understandably shocked and saddened by what happened over the weekend, and theres been local , all church the weekend, and theres been local, all church and religious groups that have been going out and giving reassurances to people in the community. We spoke to reverend Duncan Mcilwaine earlier of bradford cathedral, and this is what he said. Said. What i think we want to do is to not allow this incident terrible though it is to drive a narrative about what Bradford Bradford is a city of faith, a city of hope. Only last week, dunng city of hope. Only last week, during holy week, we were talking to people about how this is, a really great place of faith and of hope. And we dont want this to now skew a narrative about this, this brilliant city. Reverend, speaking to us there, police have said that they can understand the shock and concern that this would cause in the community and that there will be a Police Presence that to reassure that continues to reassure people. And as that manhunt continues , we will be providing continues, we will be providing updates as we have them. Updates as we have them. Thank you very much indeed. Anna riley there, our reporter in bradford, bringing us the shocking details of that crime , shocking details of that crime, interesting. Some of the papers are reporting this morning a little more about the suspect here. That he was is a blogger from bangladesh, moved to the uk to study for a masters degree in Digital Marketing at the university of bedfordshire. And thats according to his linkedin profile. So a little more information on this suspect, where he came from and what he was doing. So there you go. Was doing. So there you go. Absolutely. Which does explain perhaps to some extent, how this is a uk wide manhunt, not limited just to bradford, of course. So, the police will be looking out in every police force across the country. Yes. Well bring you any updates when and if we get them. But of course, reiterate, do course, to reiterate, do not approach the suspect is the advice, call 999 advice, but call 999 immediately. If you do believe youve spotted him. Well, in other news, perhaps in slightly better news for many people watching the state pension rises today by 8. 5. Thats an extra £900 a year for some, as the governments triple lock commitment remains in place. But heres the catch this comes as an estimated 2 million pensioners will be forced to pay income tax in the next four years due to the governments stealth tax freeze , the freeze stealth tax freeze, the freeze on tax allowances. So our pensioners really better off. Thats the question. Well, the man to do the maths is our very own economics edhon is our very own economics editor, halligan, whos is our very own economics editowith halligan,whos is our very own economics editowith onialligan, whos is our very own economics editowith on the gan, whos is our very own economics editowith on the money1os is our very own economics editowith on the money. s is our very own economics editowith on the money. So liam, here with on the money. So liam, are pensioners really better off . Theres quite a lot of detail here, tom. Its quite an important day. Its, monday the 8th of april. Its the beginning of the new fiscal year, if you like the new tax year. And so its the day when the new basic state pension comes in. And its partly good news, but there is a catch , as emily says. Lets just catch, as emily says. Lets just have a look at some of the details. The first thing to say is that the triple lock applies. The triple lock was that Coalition Era policy brought in between 2010 and 2015 by the tories and lib dems, that the bafic tories and lib dems, that the basic state pension goes up by 2. 5, or the rise of earnings or the rise of the Consumer Price index, whichever is greater. And it turns out that last september, thats the benchmark they use at which earnings across the uk went up by 8. 5. And that means that the basic state pension goes up from 8. 5 by today. Our basic state pension is pretty low by western International Standard , but it International Standard, but it has at least gone up. What are the details . Well, the basic the details . Well, the basic state pension goes up. To £221, thats a week. From £203. 85. Thats a week. From £203. 85. Thats for those who qualified for it. Since april 2016. And pensioners who qualified for the bafic pensioners who qualified for the basic state pension before april 2016. So theyre older, they get £169. 50 a week. Now thats 8. 5 higher than £156. 20, which it was before. Thats if you qualified from april 2016. So theyre the basic headline numbers that apply from today. So whats the point that emily was making there in the introduction . The point that she was making is that because the personal allowance 12. 5 grand, roughly, after you earn that amount, you start paying income tax because thats been frozen all the way to 2028 and because the basic state pension is going up and because people pay tax, income tax , believe it or not, income tax, believe it or not, on the basic state pension, more and more people on the basic state pension will be dragged into that tax paying bracket. So the basic state pension headline is going up, but the tax that youll pay on it is also going up a bit. And that will leave. We think about 2 or 3 million pensioners actually worse off over the next few years because of that frozen personal allowance, what we call a stealth tax, a tax increase that doesnt come from the increase in the headline rate that comes from the fact that where the tax starts is frozen , even though starts is frozen, even though inflation, prices, earnings and the basic state pension and Everything Else is going up. So Everything Else is going up. So the headline is good news. But as were pointing out now, there is a catch. And liam, there is a bit of a debate going on over as to whether pensioners should have to income tax on the state to pay income tax on the state pension and their tell pension and their income. Tell us bit about that. Us a bit about that. There certainly is. Its a huge amount of money when you think million pay think that 12 Million People pay income tax, the basic principle of pensions in this country is that you dont pay tax when the money goes into the pension , but money goes into the pension, but you do pay tax when the money comes out of the pension. So if its a state pension or a private you do tax private pension, you do pay tax on that pension. If indeed the return on pension is more return on the pension is more than the personal allowance, which is currently frozen, as i say , at about 12,500 pounds say, at about 12,500 pounds a yean say, at about 12,500 pounds a year, and another aspect of this is if it wasnt complicated enough , is that the government, enough, is that the government, of course, has just lowered the headune of course, has just lowered the headline rate of National Insurance twice in a row, onc
