A huge manhunt is underway for a former British soldier suspected of terrorism offences, after he carried out a daring escape from prison on a food delivery van.
Daniel Abed Khalife, who is 21, was in custody at one of London’s biggest prisons, HMP Wandsworth, awaiting trial accused of leaving fake bombs at a military base. He’s also accused of working for a hostile state and collecting information useful to an enemy.
It is believed he escaped from the prison kitchen by strapping himself to the underside of the vehicle that had been delivering food supplies. The public are advised not to approach him.

Hundreds of school buildings in England have been forced to close, over fears they were built with RAAC - a type of concrete now known to be prone to collapse.
Disruption is expected for pupils, while UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has said it is “utterly wrong’ to blame him for failing to act sooner to fix the problem – after a former senior civil servant said the government halved the budget for school repairs in England in 2021.
Meanwhile, Education Secretary Gillian Keegan has apologised after swearing in "off-the-cuff remarks" after a TV interview, before later saying "nothing is more important than the safety of children and staff".

Could a UK laughing gas ban cause more harm than good? - BBC Newsnight
Could a UK laughing gas ban cause more harm than good? - BBC Newsnight
#Newsnight #BBCNews
Newsnight has been told by leading clinicians across health trusts in the UK that they are seeing a sharp increase in nitrous oxide users under 25 with serious health issues.
Nitrous oxide is often known as laughing gas or ‘nos’, and the legalities around its use are complex.
It is currently placed within the Psychoactive Drug Act 2016, which stipulates that it is illegal to supply the drug for recreational purposes, but possession is not illegal.
However the Prime minister is committed to banning the substance as a class C drug by the end of the year, which will make possession a crime.
Now medical professionals have written to the Policing minister Chris Philp saying that making possession of the drug illegal was "unlikely to translate to health benefits in our patients," and that “fear of arrest could increase harm” as people may delay coming to hospital.
