it's something harry dunn's family have been calling for. you want to grieve, you desperately want to grieve, the whole family desperately want to grieve, but we can't. so every day is a battle and every day more of a battle than we feel it should be. and in that battle harry's parents have received a letter from the foreign secretary. dominic raab writes... this could pave the way to extradite miss sacoolas to the uk. harry's parents fly out to the united states later this morning from heathrow airport from where simon jones sent this update. harry dunn's parents are heading to washington because they say they still need to make progress with this case. they had a meeting at the foreign office during the week but they describe that as simply a publicity stunt. they also appeal to the us ambassador in london but felt they made no progress there so they wanted to talk directly to politicians in washington and also in new york and, perhaps, if they get the chance to make their case to president trump. the key thing they want to do, though, is

her lawyers saying that she would like to meet harry dunn's pa rents would like to meet harry dunn's parents if she can express her sympathies and apologies for this tragic accident so it looks like a meeting is probably quite likely. 0ne meeting is probably quite likely. one would hope so. the other thing is you've got to remember that anne sacoolas, and it is a tragedy for that family, too, so it is important. the problem i think here is that we are seeing yet another mealy—mouthed politician's letter from the foreign office here where they are saying mrs sacoolas, because she is in america, doesn't have diplomatic immunity. everybody knew that all along. diplomatic immunity only applies when you are in the host country, in this case the uk. it never applies once you go back to your own country. and i think it was the threat of the dunns calling her into court in america that has actually brought forth this suggested meeting. but do harry dunn's parents want her to return to the united kingdom?” dunn's parents want her to return to the united kingdom? i think they would like to

this is how local people have reacted to the death of harry dunn, harry, who was 19, had been on his motorbike when he was hit by a car. he died of multiple injuries. the 42—year—old woman driver of that car, who's not been identified, left this nearby american air base before the collision took place. she's known to be the wife of a diplomat and told police she would cooperate with them and said she had no plans to leave the country, but it's now been confirmed she has left britain. in a statement, northants police said, "harry dunn's family deservejustice. harry's mother, charlotte, says the woman involved must come back to the uk. we're really hoping to try and get her back. you know, we don't wish her any ill harm, but we don't understand how she can just get on a plane and leave our family just utterly devastated. today, the foreign secretary dominic raab became involved in this diplomatic stand—off, saying he had called the american ambassador to express his "disappointment" that the woman had left the country. the options open to the government and the police are limited

she's broken our family. 19—year—old harry dunn was killed in august when his motorbike hit a car. the accident here in northamptonshire is just 200 yards from an american communications base. it was from there that anne sacoolas, a diplomat‘s wife, drove her car, apparently on the wrong side of the road, and collided with harry. she subsequently flew back to america, despite being a suspect, a move that has led to the foreign secretary dominic raab to call on the united states to return mrs sacoolas even though she had claimed diplomatic immunity. most often, when there is a controversial case of this kind, with real injustice for the victim, and where the two states concerned are allies who respect each other's legal systems, both of whom have independent and impartialjudiciaries and a fair trial, then in those circumstances, there is a strong case for a waiver in order to ensure thatjustice is done. the american state department has told the foreign office here that it has offered its condolences to harry dunn's family but that it very rarely lifts the diplomatic immunity of i

what we have had tonight is the first official timeline of events following harry dunn's day. that came after weeks of pressure from his family to find out what happened. what the foreign secretary said tonight was that three days after harry dunn died on august 27 the americans said, mrs sacoolas, main suspect, has diplomatic immunity and cannot be prosecuted. the foreign office said that cannot be right, it is too serious, she should stay, on september 16, the americans came back to the foreign office and said, she has gone. she actually meant the day before that. the foreign secretary said the foreign office waited a day or two to find out what action they should take, they then informed that this year police, who then waited another ten days before informing the family of harry dunn. that has not gone down well tonight. i have spoken to the family. they say they are disgusted by the statement from the foreign secretary because in their words it adds insult to injury. they say quite clearly mrs sacoolas did not have diplomatic immunity and she should not have been allowed t

harry dunn died six weeks ago after his motorbike collided with a car in northamptonshire. the car was being driven on the wrong side of the road by anne sacoolas, who later left the uk, despite being the main suspect. in a stunning surprise, president trump told harry's parents that mrs sacoolas was waiting in the room nextdoor, and wanted to meet the couple there and then. but they refused, saying talking about harry's death with anne sacoolas must be done in a proper, controlled setting. he seemed to understand that our grief has been locked in for seven weeks now, on a case that should have been very, very clear—cut. and he understands, or he seemed to understand, that that meeting needs to be with therapists and mediators in the room, and notjust her and us. it's, you know, that's not... i wouldn't imagine that's even advisable for her, let alone us. the fact that this case has even made it to the white house has stunned charlotte and tim. just six weeks ago, they were grieving for harry after that car accident in the northamptonshire countryside. now, after all they

harry dunn's parents, for this woman to return to the uk. but her identity has been unknown. we do know now that her name is anne secoula, she is 42 years old, we don't know much more than that. with there have been appeals from her pa rents, there have been appeals from her parents, the british foreign secretary has asked for an intervention, and the chief of northamptonshire police, the force investigating the crash, he has sent what is called a strongly worded letter urging the us embassy to waive this right to anonymity. now, this diplomatic immunity issue is at the centre of this case. what is the point of diplomatic immunity? why do they have it? it was enshrined in 1961 in the vienna convention. it states that diplomats and members of diplomats' families have immunity from prosecution in their host country, if they are not actually members of that country, if they are not nationals of that country. now, that can be waived by their home country. when this was enforced in 1961 the idea was that diplomats, and diplomats and potentially h

from new york to washington, this was the moment harry dunn's family found themselves heading to the white house. but, as soon as they went inside, donald trump revealed his surprise. he said the woman involved in harry's crash was in the room next door and wanted to meet them. it didn't seem right. they say they were stunned, and refused. he clearly wanted us to, you know, have that meeting, to try and bring some healing, i think, was how he put it. but, you know, it's — we haven't begun to grieve yet. some have described the whole idea of bringing her into the oval office as a bit of a stunt by the president. all of a sudden, you're sat in front of the president of the united states, and he's trying to do something, and you've got your own things where we wanted to do things our own way. it's quite — to try and steady yourself and think about what you're going to answer, it's quite difficult. but lawyers for anne sacoolas said tonight she was disappointed the meeting in the white house did not go ahead. it was her car that hit harry dunn in august, after she drove on the wrong

the case of harry dunn has rarely been out of the headlines for the past few weeks. the 19—year—old was killed in august when his motorbike collided with the car of anne sacoolas, the wife of an american diplomat, outside raf croughton in northamptonshire. she left the country a few days later, citing diplomatic immunity. since then, harry dunn's mother and stepfather have been to washington to meet president trump, but they came away angry at how they'd been treated. the foreign secretary, dominic raab, for the first time gave a detailed timeline of events in the commons. on the 28th of august of this year, the us embassy notified us that the spouse of a member of staff at raf croughton had been involved in an accident. on the 30th of august, the us asserted that the spouse was covered by immunity so a waiver was needed. to enable the police investigation to follow its proper course, on the 5th of september, the fco formally requested the us embassy to waive immunity. given the seriousness of the incident, our view was and remains thatjustice needs to be done. i

harry dunn was just 19 when he was knocked down in august and died of multiple injuries. it was from this american airbase in northamptonshire that anne sacoolas drove her car before hitting harry. she subsequently left the country despite being the main police suspect. today, in a highly unusual move, the prime minister intervened to call on the americans to overturn her diplomatic immunity. i do not think that it can be right to use the process of diplomatic immunity for this type of purpose, and i hope anne sacoolas will come back and will engage properly with the processes of laws carried out in this country. the intervention of the prime minister comes six weeks after harry died here on this road side in northamptonshire. the air force base where anne sacoolas drove out of is just 200 yards down the road. harry's family say they welcome the move by borisjohnson and say they hope it will bring real pressure on the american government. harry's parents said today that whilst they are not seeking a long jail sentence for anne sacoolas, they are finding it hard to forgive

earlier i spoke to mark stephens, a lawyer who is advising harry dunn's family. i asked him how he thought harry's parents were feeling after their meeting with the president. i think the family are feeling pretty down. i think they feel that they have had insults heaped on injury asa they have had insults heaped on injury as a result of this situation, which was curated by robert o'brien from the national security council, america's top spy, if you will. they felt that they we re if you will. they felt that they were ambushed, they didn't know that she would be there, they didn't know that though press call would be in a third roommate, and it was a sub optimal meeting. they need to have a meeting with her, but it needs to be, as we have always said, curated not by politicians, or spies, or spin doctors, or lawyers, it needs to have professionals. it needs to have a mediator. it needs to have counsellors for both sides. her ten—year—old son was in the front seats, and witnessed first—hand the appalling, gory death of harry dunn, and so both families are in
