Jack Fenwick

[news theme] Hi, I'm Jack Fenwick.

It's Friday, the 16th of October, and these are your headlines.

Everything you need to know in just a few minutes from the newsrooms of 3AW, 2GB, 4BC, and 6PR.

[laughs] Anyway, yeah, um, just incredible number of people who sent that in almost immediately after it happened.

Next up, this came from Jack Fenwick.

Let's tick another one off for Merse as he talks about, I think, Arsenal's Bruno Guimarães.

Guimarães.For me, as the play, he's the one who ticks.

That, of course, is the seat that became vacant after the former Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer, announced he was standing down to focus on a role in international affairs.

Let's speak to Jack Fenwick, no doubt one of the people who's been staying up all night, Jack.

Indeed, I have been staying up all night.

We've been at the Count for several hours.

Thank you so much for joining us.

Thank you.

Thank you, Jack Fenwick there, bringing us up to speed on the news that Labour has won the Holborn and St Pancras by-election.

By-election? That was a weird way I said that,

Yesterday, it emerged that Lubna Spaten was listed in court documents as a close friend of a man accused of plotting a suicide bomb attack at Heathrow Airport.

Here's our political correspondent, Jack Fenwick.

On Sunday, Green Party members voted in favour of Lubna Spaten's motion calling for a single Palestinian state and saying that Zionism is racism.

Yesterday, the Jewish Chronicle revealed that she had offered to testify as a defence witness in the 2015 trial of Ming-Kwang Pham, who US prosecutors said plotted a suicide bomb attack at Heathrow using shrapnel dipped in poison.

And as we heard earlier in the news, it ended with members voting in favour of a motion declaring that Zionism is racism, despite the opposition of some Green MPs.

Following a recent by-election win and with a party now polling in double figures, the Greens are attracting wider interest and coming under greater scrutiny, as our correspondent Jack Fenwick reports.

This is your pass, so you will need that when you come in and out of the building.

The Green Party Conference does have a bigger, busier feel to it this year.

He wanted to talk about wealth, about rent and the controls that he would bring in, about climate and the wildfires we saw this summer.

Instead, it's this issue and this motion which has dominated events here at the Green Party conference.

Lucy, there's been cross-party condemnation of this vote.

Counterterrorism police say they're considering the case from every angle.

Our UK correspondent Daniel Sanford reports from Scotland Yard.

After a day and a half of feverish speculation about a possible terror plot at RAF Fairford, all five men that were arrested have been allowed to walk free, albeit on stringent police bail.

The men are all aged twenty-three to twenty-five from London and are British citizens.

The Home Secretary has said the incident serves as a reminder that at a time of heightened threat, we must all remain vigilant.

Speaking at Labour's party conference in Liverpool, Shabana Mahmood said the residents of the village of Welford who'd been evacuated could return and praised them for their resilience.

Our correspondent, Duncan Kennedy, has been speaking to some of the people who had to leave their homes.

homes.This has been a frantic two days for emergency services and for the residents of the village of Welford.

Mr. Trump praised what he called Britain's great patriotism and said it had tremendous potential.

Our political correspondent, Jack Fenwick, has been following the day's events.

Andy Burnham said he and President Trump had established a good connection.

He told the president that the UK was willing to play its part in securing peace in Ukraine, as well as reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and reiterated that Iran must never become a nuclear power.

His brother, Gurpreet Singh Johal, has been campaigning for his release.

For us today, it's just a moment where we have a positive outcome and we want Jack to just be at liberty because he's not had the luxury of being able to phone his family when he wants to phone or us to be able to speak to him over the last nine years.

Jagtar Singh Johal's lawyer in India says he could be out of prison as soon as next week.

The Indian authorities have repeatedly said due process is being followed in this case.

Andy Burnham has vowed to seek a closer relationship with the European Union during a meeting with his counterpart, Ireland's Taoiseach, Micheál Martin.

The two leaders met at Number 10 North in Manchester, where both also reaffirmed their commitment to upholding the Good Friday Agreement, after President Trump said he supported a united Ireland.

Here's our political correspondent, Jack Fenwick.

Mikel Martin said Ireland's relationship with the UK under Andy Burnham's premiership had got off to a very good start.
