This video can not be played Figure caption, Attack was 'targeted' - Counter Terrorism Police By Daniel De Simone , Investigations correspondent  and  Adam Goldsmith Published 54 minutes ago Anne Widdecombe was killed in a "targeted attack" and detectives are still working to understand the motive, police have said. Assistant Commissioner Laurence Taylor, Head of Counter Terrorism Policing, said the appearance of the former Conservative minister turned Reform UK spokeswoman on Talk TV on the morning she was killed at her home in Devon is being looked into as part of the investigation. In an update at New Scotland Yard, he said he could not comment when asked if the killer could have been targeting other Reform figures. Detectives have obtained a warrant under the Terrorism Act to hold the 28-year-old suspect arrested in Rotherham on suspicion of murder for up to seven days. The body of Widdecombe, 78, was discovered on Thursday 9 July at her home in Haytor. She had sustained serious injuries in an attack police believe took place the previous day. A white British man, 28, was arrested on Saturday. He was re-arrested on Monday on suspicion of the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism. Taylor said a counter-terrorism investigation is "running in parallel" to the murder investigation but the suspected killing "has not been declared a terrorist incident at this stage". He told reporters: "It is clear that this was a targeted attack. We are still working to understand the extent of any planning or preparation, and the motivation that sits behind that attack. "I wouldn't want to comment on what that motivation was." Taylor added: "There are multiple lines of inquiry that we are pursuing expeditiously, and that includes a number of digital forensic examinations." 'Brutal attack' Image source, Getty Images Image caption, Widdecombe served as MP for Maidstone in Kent for 23 years The counter terrorism police chief said he did not want to rule out anything, and would not comment on whether they were investigating whether a foreign state was involved. "We are working through what the motivation for the attack currently is", he said. Taylor also refused to comment further on details about the planning and preparation of the attack. On Monday, Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood told the House of Commons the suspect was not known to the government's Prevent anti-terror scheme. Taylor would not comment on whether the arrest on suspicion of terror offences means the suspect potentially committed terrorism offences separate to the murder case, or whether any other politicians were potential targets. He said: "This is a murder investigation following a brutal attack on a 78-year-old woman in her own home." There has been a "deeply distressing impact on Miss Widdecombe's family", he added. On Widdecombe's Talk TV appearance, Taylor said: "We are exploring all lines of inquiry and

Image source, Getty Images Image caption, Enzo Fernandez is on international duty with Argentina at the World Cup By Nizaar Kinsella Football reporter Published 6 minutes ago New Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso was unveiled at Stamford Bridge on Monday and said he wants to keep Enzo Fernandez at the club. The 25-year-old Argentina midfielder, who is preparing to face England in the World Cup semi-finals, is open to leaving and was recently linked with Real Madrid. However, the Spanish club denied pursuing a move for Fernandez last week, leaving him with no known alternative destination and a sizeable £120m asking price. Alonso replied "yes" when asked whether he wanted to keep Fernandez, adding: "We have spoken. But, as you can understand, what we said will remain private." It was part of his first wide-ranging news conference since taking charge of Chelsea following his departure from Real Madrid in January. He also said striker Nicolas Jackson will return to the squad for at least the club's pre-season tour of Australia and Asia after Bayern Munich decided against making his loan move permanent. "Nico Jackson is joining the tour in Asia and we are looking forward to him working with us," said Alonso. In addition, winger Alejandro Garnacho has not returned to training under Alonso, who began his role last Thursday. Alonso said there is an agreement for Garnacho to stay away from the first-team squad while he seeks a move, with Italian club Roma among those interested. "There is interest in him from other clubs. Hopefully it finishes in the best possible way for everyone," he added. Alonso said he is targeting qualifying for Europe in his first season and thanked the sporting directors and owners for choosing him to be part of the club. He continued: "I want to enjoy it, be part of this club and work with the sporting directors. It is a club with great potential. We need to make the right decisions, but we have a strong base to build on. We need to build on this foundation to be successful on the pitch."

Volkswagen intends to reduce production of cars from a pre-pandemic level of 12m cars a year to 9m.

Photograph: David Hecker/AFP/Getty Images VW chief confirms plan to cut 50,000 jobs as board rejects plant closures Oliver Blume tells staff restructuring proposal includes ‘controversial decisions’ but he has broad support Business live – latest updates The chief executive of Volkswagen has confirmed plans to cut 50,000 more jobs despite the carmaker’s supervisory board rejecting his plan to shut four factories in Germany . Oliver Blume told staff on Monday that proposals for a sprawling restructuring was “the most comprehensive realignment in the company’s history” and revolved around “12 initiatives, approximately 150 pages and 45 individual resolutions” for change. In his most detailed explanation of the management blueprint for the future, Blume told staff that “despite some decidedly controversial decisions” on the table, he had perceived “broad support on the supervisory board” of his analysis of the group’s future and the need for action. High court rejects most of ‘dieselgate’ claims brought by 1.6m UK car owners Read more Last Thursday, the board spent hours hearing Blume’s proposals, previously leaked, with staff protests at all sites for Volkswagen, Audi and Porsche brands across Germany. Asked about staff concerns about jobs, Blume – who has positioned himself as a Volkswagen insider – said he was “doing everything in his power” to keep the company competitive enough to survive. He promised to enter into “constructive discussions” with staff. Blume joined Audi at 28, working as a planner in Audi’s body shop and paint operations, before rising through the ranks to head Porsche and then taking on the leadership of the entire group in 2022. “I can fully understand how deeply the current situation affects people within the company, as well as everyone in its immediate circle. I have spent my entire professional life with the group,” he said. He said the 2024 programme to reduce the workforce by 50,000 jobs was already taking place in a “socially responsible manner” involving voluntary redundancy packages and partial retirement arrangements. The company has already cut 37,000 jobs from the workforce through these schemes, but a second phase of cuts aimed at reducing overheads was now necessary, he added. Blume said in the memo that a further 50,000 jobs may now be cut if the carmaker’s costs were not reduced. He said company benchmarking put its overheads at 20% above comparable companies. “Since half of our overhead costs result from personnel costs, a theoretical calculation – assuming no change in labour costs – would result in the elimination of approximately 50,000 positions worldwide,” he said. He confirmed there was still a question mark over four factories, three Volks
