Parliament car crash suspect arrested over terror offences.after

A man accused of deliberately hitting pedestrians with a car before crashing outside the Houses of Parliament has been arrested on suspicion of terror offences.

Counterterror police are leading an investigation into the incident, which left two victims in hospital and sparked a large security operation and evacuations in Westminster.

A spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police said the silver Ford Fiesta hit several cyclists and pedestrians before crashing into security barriers outside the Houses of Parliament at 7.37am.

Zimbabwe elections turned violence

A government crackdown in Zimbabwe after Monday's elections has prompted international calls for restraint.

 The UN and former colonial power the UK both expressed concern about the violence, in which three people were killed after troops opened fire.

Parliamentary results gave victory to the ruling Zanu-PF party in the first vote since the removal of former ruler Robert Mugabe.

But the opposition says Zanu-PF rigged the election.

The result of the presidential election has yet to be declared. The MDC opposition alliance insists its candidate, Nelson Chamisa, beat the incumbent President Emmerson Mnangagwa.

UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres urged Zimbabwe's politicians to exercise restraint, while UK foreign office minister Harriett Baldwin said she was "deeply concerned" by the violence.
