Professor Stephen J Toope, vice-chancellor of the University of Cambridge expresses the university's "deepest condolences to the families of the victims" of the London Bridge attack.

The two people killed, Jack Merritt and a woman who has not yet been named, are both former students.

Prof Toope says the university is "devastated" by Jack Meritt's death, saying he was a person of "tremendous charm", but also "extraordinary commitment".

Mr Merritt was a course coordinator for the University of Cambridge's prison rehabilitation programme.

With the general election only 11 days away, have a look at the BBC's poll tracker to see how the parties are doing.

Worth saying, though, that while polls can give a useful indication of the result of an election, they can also be wrong.

More from Ian Acheson, who's accused the government of largely ignoring his government-commissioned review into Islamist extremism in the prisons and probation system in 2015.

He tells the BBC he made 69 recommendations to the then-justice secretary Michael Gove, who accepted 68 of them. But he said the recommendations weren't followed through.

Blaming the subsequent "merry-go-round" of political appointments, he says: "Basically, what happened was that (political replacements) then allowed a fairly recalcitrant and unwilling bureaucracy to not implement the recommendations that I was making."

After 10 years of Conservative rule blighted by austerity and Brexit-weariness, it takes an almost breathtaking audacity - hostile critics might say the brassiest neck in the business - to campaign for a fourth consecutive Tory term in office as the face of change.

It takes, in other words, Boris Johnson.

The prime minister's appearance with Andrew Marr was enough to show why he is trying hard to distance himself from his party's years in office - voters are yearning for change.

This isn't, however, easy to pull off.

Mr Johnson has been a prominent MP and minister for much of that time - aside from, admittedly, a period away from Westminster while London mayor.

At a Labour gathering in York, Jeremy Corbyn has said that cuts in public services put more lives at risk from terrorism.

A former government counter-terrorism adviser, Professor Ian Acheson, tells the BBC that the problem of handling Islamist prisoners has been made much more difficult by funding cuts to the Prison and Probation Service.

Mr Acheson, who in 2015 conducted an independent review of Islamist extremism in the prisons and probation system in England and Wales for the government, says "crazy failed ideological and austerity cuts" are at the heart of the problem.

The visiting professor of criminology at Staffordshire University tells The World This Weekend: "We went far too far, far too fast and we are now reaping what we sowed."

He adds that there was a "level of denial" about the "scale of the problem" and there was a disconnect between what frontline staff were experiencing and what ministers being briefed on.

Moments ago, we had confirmation from Cambridge university that a female victim killed in Friday's stabbing attack was one of its former students.

In his statement, Professor Stephen J Toope, vice-chancellor of the university, also added: "What should have been a joyous opportunity to celebrate the achievements of this unique and socially transformative programme, hosted by our Institute of Criminology, was instead disrupted by an unspeakable criminal act.

"We will be providing all the support we can to our colleagues, including counselling for staff and students who are affected by the event."

Cambridge University has confirmed that the female victim who was killed in Friday's stabbing attack was a former student.

In a statement, Professor Stephen J Toope, vice-chancellor of the university, said: "I am sad beyond words to report that a course co-ordinator, Jack Merritt, was killed, as was a former student not yet named by the Metropolitan Police.

"Among the three people injured, whose identities have not been publicly released, is a member of university staff."

Jeremy Corbyn says Labour backs a "genuine" two-state solution in the Middle East, stressing that means "a secure Israel alongside a secure and viable state of Palestine".

"That's why Labour supports an end to the half-century of occupation and the illegal settlements, and we will recognise the state of Palestine alongside the state of Israel."

"A beautiful spirit who always took the side of the underdog."

That's how David Merritt described his 25-year-old son Jack, who was stabbed to death in an attack at London Bridge.

A woman who died in the attack - declared by officers as a terrorist incident - has not yet been named. Three others were injured.

A law and criminology graduate, Mr Merritt was a course coordinator for the University of Cambridge's prison rehabilitation programme.

Going back to the prime minister's interview with Andrew Marr and the moment when the presenter questioned Boris Johnson about alleged Islamophobia within the Conservative Party.

Mr Johnson was also challenged about an article he wrote for The Spectator magazine in 2005, shortly after the 7/7 London bombings.

In the article, he wrote, external the Koran is "intended" to provoke Islamophobia among non-Muslim readers, and Islam, when judged "purely on its scriptures", is "the most viciously sectarian of all religions in its heartlessness towards unbelievers".

When asked if he stands by his previous comments, Mr Johnson said: "People are always going to drag out bits and pieces that I have written over the years to try and distract from the fundamental issues at this election."

He added that he was "proud" to say that his "great-grandfather knew the Koran off by heart".

Mishal Husain, presenter of BBC Radio 4 Today's programme, later took to Twitter to question whether Mr Johnson had read the Koran when he wrote his article.

Mr Corbyn turns to the topic of tackling climate change and environmental issues, saying Labour will "lead the campaign to go much further than the Paris accord".

The Paris Climate agreement unites all the world's nations in a single agreement on tackling climate change for the first time in history.

Corbyn says: "At the moment, Britain is not set to meet its targets until 2099, and the rest of the world even later.

"We have to act now, which is why our manifesto puts the Green Industrial Revolution at its heart."

Mr Corbyn alludes to the delayed publication of the report into alleged Russian meddling in the British democratic system, asking "What has he [PM Boris Johnson] got to hide?
