i'm christian fraser live at westminster — the headlines at 8. a minute's silence held in trafalgar square as hundreds gather as a sign of solidarity with those caught up in yesterday's attack. people have tried to tear this city apart with acts of terror many times before, they have never succeeded and they never will. our response to this attack on our city, to this attack on our way of life, to this attack on our shared values, shows the world what it means to be a londoner. police have identified the attacker as 52—year—old khalid and was know to security services.

the third victim of the attack has been named as kurt cochran, a us tourist in london to celebrate his silver wedding anniversary. spanish teacher, ayesha frade and pc keith palmer were also killed. good evening and welcome to westminster, we are close to the doors westminster abbey, on the edge of the police cordon which has been

shrinking, but you can see behind me, the roads leading up to carriage gate where keith palmer was killed, these are still empty and the forensic police are going about their work, presumably to get to the bottom of the investigation so they can open up this area outside westminster tomorrow morning. we shall see. thousands of people have gathered this evening at trafalgar square for a vigil in memory of those murdered in yesterday's terror attack on westminster. scotland yard has named the attacker as 52—year—old khalid masood. he was known to security forces and had served time injail, but there was no warning before this attack. eight people have been arrested in overnight raids — but police say they believe the attacker was acting alone. two pedestrians were killed when masood launched his attack — driving at high speed across westminster bridge before entering the grounds of the houses of parliament — where he stabbed a policeman

to death, before he was shot dead. around a0 other people — from 12 different countries — have been injured — seven of them are still critical. so called islamic state group has claimed responsibility for the attack. that will be open to question. now to trafalgar square where thousands have been attending a candlelit vigil. thousands gathered there to listen to words of sorrow and defiance from the home secretary amber rudd and the mayor of london sadiq khan. they held a minute's silence and lit candles in memory of the victims. my colleague sophie raworth was there. there are thousands of people, many have come from work and many have travelled thousands of miles to show

their solidarity and to remember the people who died in the attack yesterday and those who were terribly injured. they have heard from the home secretary and the police and the mehrabad london, sadiq khan, who made an open invitation for people to come here andjoin in this invitation for people to come here and join in this bejewelled —— the mayor of london. what have you made the turnout? it shows that we will not allow evil and twisted individuals to twist our city and to destroy our shared values and our way of life and many londoners and visitors wanted to do something today, horrified by the attacker yesterday. and today's vigil, thousands of londoners and visitors, it demonstrates the best of our city, and as much as evil twisted individuals tried to destroy our way of life and attack our shared values, they will not succeed. of life and attack our shared values, they will not succeedlj of life and attack our shared values, they will not succeed. i was talking to some of the police here this evening, and of course a police

officer lost his life yesterday, there are people who have been hugging the police and they have been giving them cards and flowers. saying thank you. one of the mercer michael watt things about yesterday was how —— one of the most mark more things about yesterday was how the police and emergency services ran towards danger, encouraging people towards danger, encouraging people to run for safety, and that shows our police service and our emergency services at their best. keith palmer died protecting londoners and it is important that we recognise that every day police officers leave home to go to work knowing they could be injured, seriously injured, and paid the price of their life. our hearts are with the family of keith palmer, but also aysha frade and kurt cochran who lost their lives and also those who have been injured. those who have been injured, the

victims, buy off from all corners of the world. —— they are from all corners of the world. many people have been coming out of their offices on the way to trafalgar square. a number of them have left flowers as they were walking up there. westminster bridge has reopened. quite interesting going on to the bridge, to look at the pavement area and how easy it was for khalid masood to drive down this area. the one thing i noticed, between the cycle path and the pavement, it's a very open area, and many of the tourists who were there, and there were 12 different nationalities, many of them would be facing towards big ben and they would not be looking at where the traffic was coming from. you stand there and take pictures with big ben behind you. it would have caught

many of them unaware. you can see why he was able to get up to such speed, driving down the western side of the bridge towards westminster, very difficult for the people to get out of the way. we know plenty about khalid masood, 52 years of age. born in kent but has lived more recently in the west midlands and clearly the police know him and they know the people who he was mixing with. eight arrests so far, associates of khalid masood. our special correspondent lucy manning has been following the police investigation today and sent us this report from birmingham. with a car and a knife he brought terror to parliament. he is khalid masood, a british—born attacker known to the police with a 20 year criminal record, although not for terrorism. the 52—year—old responsible for the murder of a policeman, a mother on her way to collect her children, and a tourist.

masood was born in kent, and was most recently living in the west midlands. he had a range of previous convictions including gbh, possession of offensive weapons and public order offences. his last conviction was in 2003 for the possession of a knife. he was also known by a number of aliases and he was known to the security services. what i can confirm is that he was british—born and that some years ago he was once investigated by mi5. in relation to concerns about extremism. he was a peripheral figure. the case was historic. he was not part of the current intelligence picture. there was no prior intelligence of his intent or the plot. intensive investigations continue. just metres from where the prime minister spoke, on their knees, police slowly, meticulously searching for evidence, on the same ground where one

of their own lay just yesterday. determined to find out everything they can about the man who murdered pc keith palmer in the shadow of big ben, and ran over thosejust walking on westminster bridge. notjust routine police work, this time it's personal. across the country overnight, police swung into action. a flat in the winson green area of birmingham was raided. neighbours said they thought masood lived there recently. also in birmingham, in the ladywood area, filmed by neighbours, heavily armed officers searched another flat. locals said it was like a scene from the film. like a war. down the streets. it's something you see only in movies and i saw it behind my windows on the street. it was very frightening. it was like, what the hell is happening here? as well as the searches

in birmingham, police also raided homes and made arrests in the forest gate area of east london. in wales, surrey and sussex, a total of eight people have been arrested in six separate locations. it's now known the car he had turned into a weapon was a rental car he had hired in birmingham at the spring hill branch of enterprise cars. there's been intense police activity here all day in birmingham. with the attacker dead, the focus is on his friends and family. whether they knew about his motivations, his intentions, whether he had any help with the attack on parliament. it is still our belief that this attacker acted alone and was inspired by international terrorism. to be explicit, at this stage we have no specific information about further threats to the public.

so—called islamic state, without providing any evidence, claimed the attacker was, as they described him, one of their soldiers. the police are now trucking masood's movements. the man who got into a car and drove terror into the heart of westminster. there has been talk about london getting on with it and showing the defiance that we come to expect from a big city like this and that is the right sort of message, but many people probably had uppermost in their minds keith palmer whosejob it was to defend parliament and he lost his life doing just that. a father and husband and a policeman with 15 years service. the prime minister paid tribute to him, saying he was every inch a hero and his actions will never be forgotten. our home editor mark easton reflects on his life — and his death. honouring a fallen comrade.

at 933am this morning, a minute's silence for pc keith palmer. we give thanks for keith... 48 years old, a husband and a father, who went to work but never came home. boxing instructor and former soldier tony davies saw the knife attack as he left a function at the houses of parliament yesterday afternoon, and immediately ran to keith palmer's aid. he brandished two knives, i'd seen, attacking one of the policemen. that's the decision i took to then leap the defence and try and give assistance in any way i could. you ran towards the violence? most people were running away. yes, but it was a split—second decision and people needed assistance. tony davies was once in the same army regiment as lee rigby, the fusilier stabbed to death

in a terrorist attack in 2013. he remembers watching the scenes and folding that day. and thinks that is part of the reason why he ran towards danger to help pc palmer. i was the first person to approach keith and i noticed the head wound and i'm shouting, medic, get an ambulance. the biggest wound was in his rib cage. he was bleeding profusely. i tried to stem the blood flow with my rain jacket. i checked his pulse, to make sure he was breathing. he was still conscious. i said, "come on, keith, stay with us, son, stay with us". we did all we could. i'm sure the professionals who were there did all they could. he's being called a hero, some are saying he should be given a medalfor what he did. how do you feel about the man you tried to save? he was just a normal guy.

well, not a normal guy. he was protecting and sort of being an adviser on one of our most historic assets of this great nation and he is expecting to do his normal daily shift and go home to have his tea with his family. a lot of people would regard what you did yesterday as quite extraordinary, heroic. please, i don't want anyone to feel that. i feel for keith's family. one of the core values in the army is selfless commitment. maybe i showed a bit of that yesterday but just. .. it was frustrating more than anything, that keith did not pull through. sorry about that. police constable keith palmer symbolises the selfless public

service and sacrifice, vital to a civilised society. he was unarmed, guarding the epicentre of our democracy and epitomising the delicate balance between our security and our liberty. mark easton, bbc news. earlier our political correspondent, eleanor garnier spoke to ken marsh, head of the metropolitan police federation, which represents thousands of officers in london. he says the capital needs more specialist armed police. obviously it has been a very traumatic last 2a hours but we have to get on with ourjob, we are here to get on with ourjob, we are here to police the streets of london and keep the community safe and that is what we do and what we have signed up what we do and what we have signed up to do and that is what we will do. you have been talking to your colleagues and also visiting hospitals. absolutely, i've been to

their hospitals and we have visited oui’ their hospitals and we have visited our colleagues there and given the support that is required for all of them and offered them everything we can to make sure they make a speedy recovery. how are your colleagues? i won't go into details, but they are not good. they have serious injuries which they will recover from, i hope. you've noticed that there are so hope. you've noticed that there are so many people back on the bridge, the tourists, your colleagues, laying flowers, how much does that mean? it means a huge amount, we have had incredible support from around the world. it is absolutely brilliant that everyone understands that you can't let something like this stop your daily life, you continue what you're doing because otherwise they win, we don't want terrorists win ever and we will carry on doing what we're doing and i hope everyone comes to london because it is an incredible place.

the prime minister has a life should go on as normal but there will be reflection and questions about what happened and whether security should be changed. is that something you wa nt be changed. is that something you want to see? it is not something my collea g u es want to see? it is not something my colleagues want to see, we have never wanted routine arming, but we wa nt never wanted routine arming, but we want more specialist offices and otherwise spoken about that —— and i've always spoken. there will be a com plete i've always spoken. there will be a complete review of where we are and how many officers are required for specialist roles. ken marsh and the police federation. in the house of commons they asked whether please should be armed —— whether please should be armed —— whether the police should be armed, and of course some of them are armed, but ordinary police who are not armed and now questions will be

asked. people have gone up two policemen and spoke to them, maybe more then they ordinarily would. this is when we recognise just what they do. with me now is raffaello pantucci, director of international security studies at the royal united services institute. khalid masood is slightly older than the normal profile, 52, he has not been imprisoned since 2003 and that might explain why he has dropped off the radar. we are understanding now only about his history and that will be key to his radicalisation. his profile as an older individual is an interesting one and it breaks from the norm that we usually expect, usually we see younger men, the reactive, who are participating, but thatis reactive, who are participating, but that is not completely unusual ——

who are active. we saw a prisoner from one town a baby who was least ten yea rs from one town a baby who was least ten years ago and who decided last month to go and blow himself up in syria —— we saw a prisoner from grand hannah moberg. it is not completely out of the normal, but it is certainly rare to see these kind of older individuals. we start off by saying that these people are lone wolf, but there is no such thing. there is no such thing as the police would say is a clea n thing as the police would say is a clean skin, with no connections at all to the extremist community. there are odd cases, but they are very rare and usually you discover links to other people, but the question is, what is the nature of these links. did theyjust appear in

these links. did theyjust appear in the broad referee of the community oi’ the broad referee of the community or were they more actively involved? we have seen the emergence of individuals who are receiving direction from terrorist leaders in syria and iraq to launch attacks here through sort of social media or messaging. having not been there. having not met these people in person, but going down the far path of committing an act through these contacts. that is a person who was pa rt contacts. that is a person who was part of a network and he was in contact with others but not necessarily in the same way that you might have considered them before. we don't want to scaremongering, but there were 60 countries meeting in washington yesterday, talking about so—called islamic state, and as they feel more pressure around mosul and raqqa, fighters that have gone there from europe will start drifting back, 850 have gone from the uk, somewhere around that number, do the

authorities up their name? the risk level goes up over time and i would argue from the perspective of islamic state or even al-qaeda, the potential to launch attacks was a lwa ys potential to launch attacks was always there. the intent on their side is always there, but the question of these returnees is understanding who is returning and what they did out there and what are their links and that will be a very difficult picture to piece together. the other thing we have to remember, the reality that you are often looking in some cases at individuals who have been prevented from travelling and those individuals might have at the aspiration to go do some sort of foreign place but we re do some sort of foreign place but were blocked by the measures authorities have in place and when you have that kind of thing in place you have that kind of thing in place you still have the radical intent, the desire to launch some sort of attack, but the inability to do it and they are frustrated. how does the frustration manifest? the only way to tackle it is with effective

policing and support from many of these communities. there is a programme in place. prevent is the name, and that is there so that teachers and neighbours and friends, family, doctors, youth workers, they can inform the authorities if they are worried that vulnerable are being taken towards extremism —— on war people. the question is, does it work —— vulnerable people. war people. the question is, does it work -- vulnerable people. prevent has come under criticism but there are many pieces of work which are being trialled around the country and some are proving more effective than others. in terms of dissuading people from joining terrorist groups in trying to fight in foreign countries it has had some success, but it was typical to quantify that success but clearly there have been failures as well. fundamentally it is about preventing people from ending up in the criminaljustice space which means you end up trying to work with people who are not natural security agents, and there

will always be a difficult tension within that. the personal view, where do you stand on policeman like these, outside the numb one target in the country, not being armed? —— number one. if people have been to paris or brussels, it is studied is concerted to walk around the capital cities and see men with machine guns in army uniform standing around —— slightly disconcerting. it says something about the threat picture they are facing and the impact terrorism has had on this country. in the uk they have increased what has happened with the place and that has happened with the place and that has been proportional, but i would be wary of having every single police officer armed and having massive amounts of security because it says something about how you we —— are reacting to the threat and how you are potentially giving terrorists the sense of victory. how you are potentially giving

terrorists the sense of victorym was a controlled explosion, just a few minutes ago, we saw a sniffer dog wandering around and policemen have been walking around and they are checking some of these streets before they reopen them. it doesn't mean there was anything untoward, if controlled explosions happen from time to time. we will try to get you more news on that and we will get you to that when we have it. the prime minister has visited some of the victims of the attack in hospital today. we know that, apart from pc palmer and the attacker, at least two other people were killed yesterday. aysha frade lived in london with her two daughters and husband. she was on her way to pick them up at school. an american kurt cochrane was with his wife celebrating their 25th anniversary. about a0 people from 11 different countries were injured, in the attacks. sarah campbell reports now on the victims. a mother on the school run, mown down in broad daylight. aysha frade was 43 years old and leaves behind a husband

and two young daughters. friends and neighbours have been paying tribute to her. she was just a lovely person with two lovely children. two lovely, lovely girls. how are these children? they have lost their mother. you leave your kids, go to school, and then to pick them up and then this happens to you. she worked at a college near westminster bridge and was on her way to pick up her children when the attack happened. she was a lovely person. helpful, supportive, smiling, always willing to help out with whatever the challenges and demands that teaching staff might have at any given time. her mother was spanish and today she was remembered by people in spain. her family are understood to be travelling to britain. in london, celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary, melissa and kurt cochran

from the united states. they were due to fly home today but instead kurt was killed and melissa was seriously injured. president trump described kurt cochran as a great american. the people who were injured came from 11 different countries including the united states, china, france and germany. they were taken from westminster to hospitals across london, including here at kings college. undergoing treatment for a fractured leg is 19—year—old travis frain. he was with fellow students on a field trip to parliament when he was hit head—on by the car. he was pictured as emergency crews stretchered him away from the scene. waiting for news inside the locked down parliament building was his tutor. she told me today that travis is doing well. he has been checking his facebook. lots of other messages from other students wanting to know how he is. clearly, he is not well, but he is dealing with it

and he is staying as cheerful as he can. another school trip caught up in the chaos, three students from this school in brittany were injured, two of them were reported to have suffered serious fractures, the french foreign minister travelled to london to visit them. this is a new tragedy. i wanted to stop to london first. and to say a message to the british people, a message of solidarity. remaining officials say a woman understood to be and where christian has undergone surgery to treat a blood clot on her brain. her boyfriend sustained a broken foot and they had been celebrating her birthday. several people remain in hospital including two police officers with cirrus injuries. this was an attack in london but the effects are being felt across the world —— with serious injuries.

some news on the controlled explosion. police have been here at the cordon and the explosion was on the cordon and the explosion was on the bird cage walk with huge —— which is not far away, and that is why many of you could have heard it. it was quite loud. amber rudd, the home secretary, has told the bbc that it would be wrong to see yesterday's attack as an intelligence failure. she's been speaking as members of parliament went back to work today — itself a simple act of defiance. the prime minister said, "we will never waver in the face of terrorism". our political editor laura kuennsberg reports on how mps have reacted to a terror attack that was aimed at the home of british democracy. a million acts of normal life. alongside westminster‘s busyness.

people are grappling with a changed world. a morning run, the commute to work, but flimsy tape tethering the area around our parliament. the home of our democracy — a crime scene. with a huge investigation under way, cabinet ministers, too, searching for answers. we will see what more can be done to forestall this kind of lone wolf attack, if it was a lone wolf. this was notjust another day. but parliament was determined its traditions would carry on unhindered.

the speaker's daily procession, arcane as ever. mps cramming in where they had been locked down for hours yesterday. yet first, to show respect with silence. in and outside westminster. in edinburgh. even at the united nations. yesterday's panic passed. get back, get back. but the danger, the confusion, the loss of life, fresh in every mind. the prime minister resolute. beyond these walls today, in scenes repeated in towns and cities across the country, millions of people are going about their days and getting on with their lives. the streets are as busy as ever,

the offices full, the coffee shops and cafes bustling. as i speak, millions will be boarding trains and aeroplanes to travel to london and to see for themselves the greatest city on earth. it is in these actions, millions of acts of normality, that we find the best response to terrorism, a response that denies our enemies their victory, that refuses to let them win, that shows we will never give in. mps queued to speak to mark the sacrifice of pc palmer, killed trying to stop khalid masood getting in. listening, the mp who tried for minutes to keep him alive, as one of his friends, now a member of this place, told his story. he was a strong official public servant, and it was a delight to meet him here again only a few months after being elected. argument normally

fills the air here. today rivals together. it behoves us all not to rush to judgment but to wait for the police to establish the facts, to stay united in our communities and not allow fear or the voices of hatred to divide or cower us. no terrorist outrage, no terrorist outrage is representative of any faith or of any faith community, and we recommit ourselves to strengthening the bonds of tolerance and understanding. but outside, more strident voices. the muslim community itself have got to root out this cancer, stand up and be counted, and ensure that if they do know people who are radicalised, they report them to the police. but in her first interview since the attack, the home secretary urged caution before pointing the finger of blame. of course there will be people

who try to sow discord, but what i'm seeing so far is community leaders and people coming forward trying to head that off immediately by saying, we will not be bowed by this. mi5 did know this man and decided not to track him, that looks like failure. that would be the wrong judgment to make. i'm confident that as we get more information, and i can't be drawn further at the moment, that we will learn more and take comfort from the information that we have other work that intelligence services do. it clearly didn't work in this case. you are right, one got through, there may be lessons to be learned, but i want people to know that we don'tjust have a programme which stops people. we have a programme that enters into communities much earlier on to safeguard people from becoming radicalised. for all its usual conflicts, here today there is almost a strange sense of calm.

in the main, politicians with one thought, to be here, to turn up, to do theirjobs. but as the reality of exactly what happened yesterday begins to emerge, there is, creeping in, a deep unease. we understand it was one of the defence secretary's bodyguards who shot and stopped khalid masood, not pa rliament‘s routine police. many wonder what more could have gone wrong. yet for any government, combining freedom and safety is perhaps the hardest of balances to get right. a lot of questions will be asked about khalid masood and what people knew. representatives of mosques and muslim schools have been meeting with police at new scotland yard today, and earlier, my colleague spoke to faith leaders after they left that meeting. both call for a more robust approach to extremism. it is really important that the

community gets together and does not allow terrorists to divide us. these extremists, who are a minority, are trying to sow the seeds of division, and they are not going to win. we are getting very wa ry going to win. we are getting very wary of having to justify our faith and conned them every time such attacks happen. —— condemn every time. i think we need to deal with the root causes, and we have all agreed that we will be more frank in our discussions to try to deal with some of the thoughts and ideology that encourage this kind of extremist views, which has nothing to do with islam, as the doctor said. when you said be more frank in your discussions, what does that mean in practice? that means we want to say to all of these preachers, imam 's, leaders, they must speak aloud against that, and must use all the possibilities, mosques, islamic

centres, everywhere, really, from the muslim side at least, which we are representing. to show that it is really our rejection, our condemnation, and also opening more doors for youth to answer their questions, attracting them to the mosque to listen to our real message, not to be hijacked or taken away, really, by some individuals who really understand the faith in a different way which is not actually... doesn't actually reflect the nature of the faith as stronger voices of as it is. so, stronger voices of condemnation, yes, and attracting the youth, and also interface among muslims themselves to show solidarity. all the muslims, no matter what school they represent, show solidarity together, rejecting this. anyone who is hijacking the name of

islam to do these awful things. with the use of social media to try and hijacked the religion of islam, how do you propose to counteract that? we need to go beyond condemnation and solidarity. we need to directly attacked people who justify violence in the name of faith, and i think once we start doing so, on the social media, they are using means not available many years ago. we need to do something about sectarianism, about extremism, the same way we dealt with slavery, the same way we dealt with slavery, the same way we dealt with racism. we need to have governments who are serious, western governments who are serious, western governments who are serious about resolving this problem. not only addressing symptoms and leaving the root causes. so we need more serious work in terms of satellite broadcasts, social media, and other ways.

what message do you have four members of the muslim community in terms of talking to the police? this is an appeal we have heard from the police first thing today, that all members of the community should talk to them if they have concerns. do you believe members of the muslim community feel able to do that? yes, i think so. every individual and every citizen, everybody is really entitled to report to the police if they have anything that is really to help to prevent such anything from happening again, or to actually help the investigation is running today. if you will allow me to add, we have a double problem now. these actions, which are unfortunately associated with the name of islam in some minds, they are a very small number of people and not the community itself. this will also affect arise again in islamophobia, which is also another problem, which will try to make more

fractions within the society, so really, the problem is double. we need really to address this, and as you have said, with the government, with the authority, we should really work together to face this and face islamophobia which is coming also, and anti—semitism as well. two faith leaders at the london central mosque. there has been a multi—faith presents tonight in leicester square. they were on the steps in front of the national gallery, and the archbishop of canterbury has spoken today of his gratitude for those who helped after the terrorist attacks. justin welby said the public response he had seen in the aftermath showed that all was right about our society. i think as one moves on from the events, there are two reactions. one is shock, and immense distress for those for whom yesterday changed their whole lives. the family of pct

palmer, obviously, —— pc keith palmer, obviously, —— pc keith palmer, obviously, —— pc keith palmer, obviously, and those who just went out as tourists. and the french children were on my mind. they have come from a place where there has been such terror over the last two years, they come here, and this happens. so that is one thing. the other thing, though, is a growing sense... pride is the wrong word, i do not like to use that word, i do not like to use that word, but of confidence, is perhaps the word. i am trying to find the right word. confidence, because one is seeing so many responses that are so deeply right, in the way our society is built. the emergency services, obviously. they arejust unbelievable. the people in parliament, the staff in parliament,

we re parliament, the staff in parliament, were extraordinary. westminster abbey being just opened to the people coming across as they are evacuated and making them so welcome. members of the public helping those who had been injured, and not running away. and then, those moving photos that something deep within our practices in this country, deep within the way we understand what is right, i have said this in the house of lords earlier, that the man who had tried to kill people they few moments later was being treated for his injuries by those people he had tried to kill. —— a few moments later. and we look at that and think, well, of course, that's obvious, that's what you do. what an amazing thing. yes, that was quite extraordinary, wasn't it, those pictures of the

police are tending to khalid masood even though in a frenzy, he had just stabbed one of their colleagues. it shows you how professional many of these ambulance people and the police really are. the prime minister said on this downing street last night that in response to this attack, london should carry on as normal. tolu adeoye went out this morning to see if that's how londoners reacted. londoners and others from around the world who have come here to visit this great city will get up and go about their day as normal. they will board the train is. they will leave their hotels and walk these streets. they will live their lives. this morning, as the prime minister had said, london carried on. there were, of course, signs of yesterday's attack, but those we spoke to one morning commute where resilience. you mustn't let fear govern your life. you must get on with it.

lam sure life. you must get on with it. i am sure everyone life. you must get on with it. i am sure everyone today would feel more up to it than ever. journalism students from the university of sheffield were visiting parliament yesterday as the attack unfolded. today, they carried on with their london visit as planned. i think it has kind of changed how i feel about terrorism, and it makes it so much more real, but it has not change the fact that you could be anywhere in the world, it could happen anywhere. it has not changed me wanting to come to london. it isjust sad, isn't it? i am not scared. this is a city that has been attacked before. add remembers the aftermath of 7/7 well. the city came together then, and he says this latest attack won't shake londoners. it isa latest attack won't shake londoners. it is a horrible thing that has happened. you don't want to become accustomed to that happening regularly. but i am a londoner. it does not worry me. i can see, i can imagine it would worry some people, but no, not me. you just get on? yes, i do.

some areas were quieter than usual. the london eye was one of a handful of attractions that shut for a time, but hundreds of tourists still enjoyed the landmarks that had attracted them to the capital. in govan garden, we met a family who arrived on holiday from israel yesterday. they had this message for londoners. life must go on. the only way to fight terrorism of any kind is not to be afraid, is not to stay home, is not to be frightened from anything, but to go out, keep your life, and give a message that nothing will stop london. nothing. britain. nothing. england. —— nothing will stop england. some more information on a controlled explosion you may have heard in an interview we were doing about 200 metres away. scotland yard confirmed that a suspect package at thejunction of confirmed that a suspect package at the junction of horse guard and bird cage walk went off a few minutes ago, but as i said, that is routine

and happens quite often hear in the capital. they will not take any risks with any packages, particularly not at a time like this. the cord and is very much still in place tonight. you can see it is still closed behind me, the road here. we havejust been hearing from londoners. ithink road here. we havejust been hearing from londoners. i think what will reassure a lot of them is not only how they reacted to the attack yesterday, how quickly they whereon the scene, but what happened in terms of controlling the scene, if you well. it goes on, really, out of sight, so roads that needed to be kept open were kept open, and the roads that needed to be closed were closed, and that is important, because you don't want a huge traffic jam here amid because you don't want a huge trafficjam here amid all this panic, and so they do of course train for this. they hope they don't have to put it into practice, but what we saw yesterday under some quite extreme circumstances were many of these policemen acting with
