Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six.

A woman who was left widowed just days after becoming a mother has

called for an inquiry into how a man with known mental illness

was allowed to roam the streets and kill her husband.

Dr Jeroen Ensink was posting letters announcing the birth of the couple's

daughter when he was stabbed to death last December by a Nigerian

Now his wife Nadja wants a change in the law -

saying her husband's death was not a one-off incident.

Michael Buchanan joins us from North London,

This was a random and senseless murder on a brilliant man. Dr Jeroen

Ensink had simply popped out from his flat to announce the birth of

his young daughter. He was murdered by a man suffering from paranoid

schizophrenia. The brutal killing has left the family with one simple

question, why on earth was this allowed to happen? I never thought I

could love the way I loved him. He was the most amazing man ever. You

row in an sink was an expert in sanitation projects in the

developing world. Last December he left his house to post some cards

announcing the birth of his first child. His daughter Fleur had been

born 11 days earlier. On the doorstep of his flat, he was killed,

stabbed repeatedly by a man he had never met. There was a knock on the

door. I opened the door and there were three police officers. I knew.

Obviously, I had no idea what had happened, but I knew. Something

awful had happened. This is Jeroen's killer, Femi Nandap, a 23-year-old

Nigerian student with severe mental health problems. He admitted

manslaughter by diminished responsibility. He was suffering

psychosis brought on by cannabis use and referred to himself as the black

messiah at the time of the stabbing, and in May last year he had been

arrested charged with wielding a knife in public and attacking a

police officer. He was released on bail. In October he stopped taking

his anti-psychotic drugs. In December, the charges against him

were dropped, just six days before he killed Dr Ensink. If a person

with a history of mental illness is found wandering around with a knife

and attacks a police officer, that man should be referred to a secure

unit for assessment and treatment and not given bail so easily.

Prosecutors say today it was a mistake to drop the charges against

Femi Nandap, but maintained the decision would not have saved Jeroen

Ensink's life. Mental problems are responsible for around 60 killings a

year, a figure that has remained stable in recent years. But that

figure is of little comfort to Jeroen Ensink's wife and daughter.

It took a while to realise he was not going to come back. He is never,

ever coming back. Fleur will never meet her father. A brilliant man

needlessly slain. The judge said that had Jeroen Ensink lived, his

work could have improved the lives of millions.

The most senior Republican politician in the United States,

Paul Ryan, has said he will no longer campaign with

or defend Donald Trump - it comes after one of the most

acrimonious presidential debates in US election history.

Our North America Editor, Jon Sopel, was watching.

They walked out smiling, but as they drew closer,

the awkwardness and tension were evident.

Hello. Hello.

And very quickly it was onto the now infamous comments from Trump

I've apologised to the American people.

Hillary Clinton sought to broaden the attack

He has said that the video doesn't represent who he is,

but I think it's clear to anyone who heard it that it represents

But it's not only women and it's not only this video that raises

questions about his fitness to be our president,

because he has also targeted immigrants, African-Americans,

And this is where it got nasty and dirty.

Donald Trump chose attack as the best form of defence.

He brought with him women who'd previously claimed to be sexually

assaulted by Bill Clinton, and Mr Trump didn't hold back.

If you look at Bill Clinton - far worse.

Mine were words, and this was action.

There's never been anybody in the history of politics in this

nation that's been so abusive to women.

Hillary Clinton attacked those same women, and attacked them viciously.

When I hear something like that, I am reminded of what my friend,

Throughout the debate, Donald Trump moved

Sometimes as though he was stalking her, often just lurking

in the background as an intimidating presence.

His most effective attack was over her use of private e-mail server,

If I win, I am going to instruct my Attorney-General to get

a special prosecutor to look into your situation.

It's just awfully good that someone with the temperament

of Donald Trump is not in charge of the law in our country.

And then the most surreal end to this most poisonous debate.

Would either of you name one positive thing that you respect

His children are incredibly able and devoted.

And I think that says a lot about Donald.

I will say this about Hillary - she doesn't quit.

This was a brutal and savage 90 minutes.

Donald Trump had to prove that he could move beyond the sex

scandal tape that has so rocked the Republican party.

There was a tepid handshake at the end, but there's no love lost

between the two of them, and no easing of the animosity

Jon Sopel, BBC News, St Louis, Missouri.

bigger picture? What does it tell us about the whole race? I think we are

getting a clear indication of that today. It is very significant that

the most senior Republic -- Republican in the country, Paul

Ryan, has effectively pulled the plug on Donald Trump, effectively

saying, he's not going to win the presidency, so why don't we switch

all our energies into saving our majority in the Senate and House of

Representatives? They are cutting him adrift. I spoke to Donald

Trump's most senior aides this morning he was very bullish about

his performance last night. I asked if he was worried they would more

defections. He said, no, all the bed-wetters have gone. Paul Ryan has

editor, Simon Jack. The retail industry presented its

post-Brexit stall today. As the biggest importer of goods

in the UK, the sector is worried costs could rise

when we leave the EU. As we import goods into this

country, coming from the EU, or other

countries where there are trade deals, those at the moment

are all tariff free. If as part of the exit from the EU

we have new tariffs, then that will put upward pressure

on prices for consumers. Once outside, the UK

might have to fall back on its membership of the World

Trade Organisation, which comes with Currently, meat moves

tariffs of up to 40%. Outside the

EU, it is 14% on top. Clothes from India arrive

a rule reducing that. It is too soon to know

appearing in consumer skies. Petrol retailers warned today 5p

to pound weakness. Deal or no Deal, prices look

likely to rise. Our Political Editor, Laura

Kuenssberg, is inside Westminster. So that's the economic implications.

Now politicians want a greater say in the Brexit outcome. Will they get

it? It doesn't look likely. There have been all sorts of shapes and

shadows since the referendum result, the biggest decision the public has

made for generations. MPs want more of the action. Today, the Labour

Party, the SNP, the Lib Dems and some Tory backbenchers have called

on the government to give them a say, a vote, over the kind of

bargain that Theresa May is going to strike

as she prepares for the negotiations with the rest of the EU. They want

to be able to shape what she's after, and say what is important to

them. In answer, Theresa May, who is just starting a charm offensive

around Europe, has basically said, tough. She's cracking on with it,

she will start the legal process in March, and MPs will not have a say

until further down the line. MPs are not going to give up on this,

though. They see it as being a hugely important process and they

don't want to be locked out of it. It is part of their wider effort

that is happening in the city and among some members of the public

around the country as well as Westminster, for the government to

start filling in the blanks of -- about what they really hope to

achieve as we start to untangle ourselves from the EU.

It was one of the bloodiest days in British industrial history.

In 1984, during the miners' strike, thousands of police officers

clashed with miners in the village of Orgreave in South Yorkshire.

Many were injured and it became known as "the Battle of Orgreave".

Now a former policeman has told the BBC that officers

were briefed to use "as much force as possible".

The Government is considering a review

Dan Johnson has this exclusive report.

It started in America this summer, but this practical joke doesn't seem

so funny any more. He's running! He's chasing us! How are we doing,

mate? Over the last few days, there have been dozens of clown incidents

reported to the police here in the UK. I want to get past and go out.

He was stood may be here. George was confronted by one in this Plymouth

car park late at night. It claims the clown was wielding a hammer. Go

on, then, yeah. George chased away but was left shaken. I think it's

stupid, people are jumping on the bandwagon, taking it too far, you

have seen reports of them smashing up cars and I think it is silly.

Like my sister who works here, if she walked home, a young girl, then

that would have scared the life out of her. You're not joking, you did

not set it up? No, it is what it is. The number of sightings increased

massively over the weekend. Thames Valley Police received 14 calls in

24 hours. In Norwich, a man was arrested after a woman was left

terrified in a park. In County Durham, children were chased a

school by a clown. We are taking this very seriously, particularly if

the reports that people dressed up as clowns are in possession of a

knife. The perception of a clown in a circus tent is not what is being

applied here at all. The level of threat that has been exhibited,

again, is in something that you would see in a circus. Police say

the craze is being fuelled by social media and is wasting huge amounts of

officers' time. At this fancy dress shop in Bristol, they said clowns

seem to be scarier than anything, especially around Halloween. We have

knives through the head and barbed wire. Children love it. Show them a

clown and they are scared. Tonight, police in Manchester, Hampshire and

Sussex have all reported incidents and appealed for this grace to stop.

Pretty chilly start this morning, sunshine frock others but rainbows

came in amongst the shower clouds, who showed up quite nicely on the

satellite, the speckled the nature of it but with the weather coming

from the east, look up wind and there's a massive bulk of cloud set

to push its way towards us in the next 24 hours. Not just that,

temperatures across the UK, 13 or 14, but upwind we barely got a

double figures and that kind of air is coming our way. The easterly wind

will cross a warm sea so it will never be so chilly by day but with a

cold wind over warm sea, we will continue to see shower clouds affect

eastern England and Scotland tonight. Inland, showers at the

moment but most will fade away, partly clear skies and another

chilly night, the wind a bit stronger than last night so not

quite as cold but still a chance of frost in rural areas across central

and western UK and into the morning, like one or two of you this morning,

some frost on the grass and the cars first thing. Particularly in the

West, sunshine to start Tuesday. Driest conditions throughout in the

West. In the east, lots more clout than we had today, Central and

eastern Scotland in particular and down through eastern counties of

England, not much sunshine between the showers, who get going, and push

further westwards through the day, not quite as heavy as today but many

southern and western areas will stay free of them. Temperatures much like

today but with a strengthening wind, so it will feel a bit cooler. The

easterly wind continues to bring showers do eastern areas tomorrow

evening and through the night and into Wednesday. Another chilly start

on Wednesday, particularly in the West and the best of the brighter

weather here, or showers feeding into eastern Scotland and England

once again and perhaps a greater chance of a few showers pushing

through the English Channel towards Devon and Cornwall. Temperatures at

12-15, feeling rather cool and the wind will make it feel even cooler.
