in wednesday's attack at westminster has risen to five, that includes the attacker. the metropolitan police have confirmed that a 75—year—old man died after being injured on westminster bridge. his identity has not yet been released. detectives have confirmed that the attacker was a 52—year—old british man, khalid masood. it's now emerged that he had changed his name, having grown up as adrian elms. he was known to the security services. and the group which calls itself islamic state has claimed it was behind the attack. overnight, and on thursday, police made eight arrests, five men and three women, both in london and in the midlands city of birmingham. tributes have been paid to those who lost their lives. the first three who have been identified are aysha frade, us national kurt cochran, and policeman keith palmer. within the last few hours, a fourth victim has died of his injuries. there are more than 20 people still in hospital,

six are critically ill. with the latest on the investigation, here's our special correspondent, lucy manning. 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, a tourist, and a pensioner. today, on their knees, police slowly, meticulously, searching for evidence. on the same ground where one of their own layjust a day ago. as they searched outside parliament, just metres away inside, the prime minister spoke. what i can confirm is that the man was british born,

and that some years ago, he was once investigated by mi5 in relation to concerns about violent extremism. he was a peripheralfigure. the case is historic. he was not part of the current intelligence picture. there was no prior intelligence of his intent or of the plot. intensive investigations continue. so, what more is known about khalid masood? 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 khalid masood is not believed to be the name he was born with. they are determined to find out more

about the man who killed pc keith palmer, and those he ran over on the bridge. notjust routine police work, this time it is personal. bridge. notjust routine police work, this time it is personalm is still a belief that this man acted alone and was inspired by international terrorism. to be explicit, at this stage we have no further information about the threats to the public. the police's attention in birmingham overnight in the ladywood area. they surged a flat. neighbours said it looked like film. it was like a movie. something you see only in movies. and i saw it behind my windows on the street. it was very frightening. it was like, you know, what the hell is happening here? another flat in the winston

green area of the city was raided, as they thought he lived there recently. it is now known the car he turned into a weapon was a rental carfrom birmingham at the spring hill branch of express cars. with the attacker dead, the focus is on his friends and family, whether they knew about his focus and intentions, whether he had any help with the attack on parliament. police have made arrests in a number of different locations. three properties were surged in birmingham with seven people arrested. one woman was arrested in east london. there have also been arrests in these areas. the eight have been arrested on suspicion of preparation of terrorist acts. his neighbours described him as a house proud family man. as far as i am aware, he had two children at the time he was they appeared to be primary

schoolchildren. he had a people—carrier and loaded them in to a people—carrier with child seats. but today, so—called islamic state described him very differently. without providing evidence, they said he was one of their soldiers. the police are now attracting khalid masood's movements, the man who got into a masood's movements, the man who got intoa carand masood's movements, the man who got into a car and drove terror into the heart of westminster. lucy manning, bbc news, birmingham. as a full day passes after the attack at the british parliament, new footage has emerged showing the panic inside parliament. is he coming? this was the moment when police ran through parliament, ushering people to safety. the video by conservative mp david t—c davies clearly shows the panic that was unfolding. the scene before the attacker reached parliament was just as chaotic.

the first victims were on westminster bridge, where the attacker drove his car onto the pavement, hitting many people as they walked across the bridge. our correspondent, matthew price, has walked the length of the bridge today to retrace the deadly route taken by the attacker. inside the white circle, difficult to spot is the dark car driven by khalid masood. it took him about 20 seconds to drive the 252 metres across westminster bridge. at this point, it was just an ordinary cardriving round a roundabout in waterloo, but he was about to enter the bridge, westminster, bridge, drive on to it and start killing people. this is where he mounted the kerb. witnesses said they thought it was an accident, as masood ran into his first victims. one man fell over the wall of the bridge here and hit the concrete towpath below. it's believed this is where kurt cochran, the us tourist on holiday with his wife, died. at this point, he puts his foot to the floor, accelerating

fast and hard. he hits someone else just about here. one was unconscious. imagine the panic along here. people walking along this pavement, desperate to get out of the way. some of them pushing themselves right up to the side barriers to stop themselves from being hit. and it's at this point where that cctv footage shows the woman falling over into the water. did shejump? well, one eyewitness has told us that she was knocked into the thames by the car. she was andrea christi, the romanian tourist. by this point, it's become pretty clear to people on the bridge what's going on. many of them, thankfully, have managed to get out of the way. he drives along the pavement here but he knows he has to get back on to the roads, so he hits another couple of people and then nips off into the cycle lane.

and these barriers are the reason why he knew he had to get off the pavement. instead, he swung past it, carried on down that cycle lane there, and then took an immediate left, slamming hard into the fence around parliament. there, he killed his final victim, pc keith palmer, and then, with three shots from the police, masood's deadly journey across the bridge was over. ever since the july 7th bombings in london in 2005, counter—terrorism agencies have worked to improve their ability to uncover major plots involving groups of people. but the threat posed by lone operators, avoiding sophisticated methods, is far more difficult to uncover. our security correspondent, gordon corera, looks at the questions facing the difficulties the intelligences agencies face. tonight, questions about surveillance.

khalid masood, the prime minister said, did come cross mi5‘s radar a few years ago. but he was not being watched at the time he was planning his attack. that's led some to question whether more could have been done to stop him. it's not a new question. after the 7thjuly bombings in 2005, it emerged some of the men had, like masood, cropped up on the periphery of an mi5 investigation. and the same was true of those responsible for the killing of lee rigby in woolwich. the security services and their colleagues in the police do a magnificentjob, and the intelligence services altogether know a great deal about what's going on. but there will always be the possibility to that somebody can get through. so why does this happen? one problem for the authorities is scale. at the moment, there are around 3,000 people suspected of some kind of terrorist—related activity, and there are more than 500

live police investigations. it takes dozens of people to watch one individual round the clock. that means there have to be choices. it is very difficult to prioritise which ones should be looked at closely, and scrutinised closely, at any one time. you know, it is not an exact science. there are fine judgements that have to be made by senior police and senior intelligence officers. you know, at haste, often, with limited resources, and partial information. many people cross mi5‘s radar. but the challenge, as one person put it, is working out who to put under the microscope, and to try and spot if their behaviour changes over time. for instance, are they moving towards planning an actual attack? all of that is getting harder in a world of low—tech terrorists, who sometimes can act alone. so—called islamic state today claimed masood was their soldier. but that doesn't necessarily mean he was directed, rather than just inspired by them.

investigators will want to know if there was any contact. police and mi5 rely on communities here for help. even if someone acts alone, it is rare for no—one else to have had any knowledge or suspicions. but they need to be willing to pass them on. where they have come across people who they feel are creating divisions within our community, are purporting, you know, extremism and fundamentalism, they are saying to our security services, you know, just be mindful about this individual. but they're also reluctant to do so, because sometimes they're not sure whether the security services will deal with them in a fair manner. surveillance by police and mi5 has foiled many plots in recent years. but, at this early stage, it is impossible to say if this attack could have been stopped. gordon corera, bbc news. stay with us on bbc world news.

still to come: as the battle continues to rages across western mosul, concern grows for thousands of civilians caught up in the fighting. let there be no more war or bloodshed between arabs and israelis. i'm so proud of both of you. with great regret, the committee have decided that south africa be excluded from the 1970 competition. bismillah ir—rahman ir—rahim. streaking across the sky, the white hot wreckage from mir

drew gasps from onlookers on fiji. this is bbc world news. i'm kasia madera. the latest headlines — the man who carried out wednesday's deadly attack in westminster has been identified as khalid masood, who was british born and known to the police. as the investigation continues, police have announced the death of a fourth victim, a 75—year—old man. the un estimates that 400,000 iraqi civilians are trapped in the old city of mosul as government forces try to capture it from islamic state militants. it says people are being forced to endure siege—like conditions. the city is split between is and iraqi army forces. our middle east editorjeremy bowen and cameraman nick milard have been to the edge of the old city and sent this report. gunfire.

the rule of the jihadists who call themselves islamic state, has brought fire, destruction and death down on mosul, iraq's second city. this is where the fight is now concentrated, in the narrow alleys of the old city, too tightly packed for armoured vehicles. it's a classic urban battlefield, a place where jihadis who pray that they will die fighting have managed in the last few days to install a defence past the iraqi forces. the iraqi troops took us to a building about 100m from the isjihadis. to one of dozens of sniper positions... the threat from is has managed to recreate some unity in a country that's been torn to pieces by war.

iraq is a very divided country. at the moment they have a common enemy, the fear is that when they beat the islamic state here in mosul, they may turn on each other. violence has infested politics and become the route to money, power and territory. war is iraq's tragedy curse and its normality. translation: ten minutes ago, i killed one of them near the mosque. the men fighting now were children when america and britain invaded in 2003 and grew up during a sectarian civil war the invaders helped to create. in mosul, even in the ruins, the sunni muslims are the majority but the government in baghdad is dominated by iraq's bigger group, the shia.

the battlegrounds of west mosul are still home to several hundred thousands of civilians. this is a street about 700 metres from the current confrontation line. the sunnis here are nervous about the future, they remember the old threats from the shia politicians. this man with his five—year—old daughter, says when the army fled in 2014, he thought it was a sunni tribal revolution, then men from eye is, daesh, with the accents of saudi arabia, began to impose their brutal views. translation: we used to die 1,000 times a day, it was hell. poverty and disease—ridden. it was indescribable.

we were so scared, we used to hide our wives and children from daesh every day. now the war has left their street and the local is contingent has left number seven, which they occupied. it is said that the best thing is that the is tyranny is ending. he has protected his home with sandbags that saved them the morning that the shell came in through the roof. by then, mohammed's family had been sheltering in the basement for a month with food and water, even toys for the children. in areas held by is in mosul, thousands of other families are still hiding from the war. but mohammed, newly liberated, has the luxury of wondering whether the government will keep its promise to share power. translation: they have always been against sunnis. nobody came here to ask us what we needed. sunni and shia understand

each other as people, the problem is between the sunni and the shia politicians. in the last few days, the fighting has been the hardest in the evenings. the offensive has slowed... this attack started in the last hour or so. it's pretty heavy. it's a sign that islamic state are still fighting, they are still dangerous, they still have ammunition, they're organised, they're prepared to die... but they are not prepared to sell their lives cheaply. but with iraqi forces backed by air strikes from the american—led coalition, is in mosul can't survive. beating the jihadis outright, though, needs much more than overwhelming force. guns need to be aimed

to preserve civilians' lives so that the survivors can feel like winners, not victims. this war will be followed by another if the iraqi leaders can't share power. jeremy bowen, bbc news, mosul. the tussle over how donald trump plans to get rid of obamacare is becoming ever more bitter, as both the republicans and democrats prepare to debate what happens next. the planned vote has been delayed until friday. i asked laura bicker what this meant for donald trump's plans. this is an embarrassing setback, not just because the vote has been delayed but the timing of the

announcement was crucial because moments earlier president trump had said that there were enough votes and the deal would be done and then congress and announced that there would be no vote this evening. that is what we are here for, that is what we have expected. it has been to malta was day on capital hill as the president was once again they're trying to twist the arms of republicans to vote to these health—care reforms. and you are correct, it was a key campaign cry. he wanted to repeal and replace obama care. why? considering the numbers show that millions more are insured under obama care. in some states they don't have a choice and many insurance premiums have rocketed, skyrocketed because of the insurance costs of obama care. that is one of the reasons why he wants to repeal and replace. but the plan they are trying to come up with, no—one seems to agree. the man who ran hillary clinton's failed presidential bid has accused

the fbi of ‘double standards' over the way it conducted investigations during the election campaign. john podesta told the bbc that the fbi directorjames comey kept quiet about its investigation into possible collusion between russia and the trump campaign, but went public about its inquiry into mrs clinton's hacked e—mails — just days before the vote itself. my colleague philippa thomas asked him if he's been suspicious during the campaign. of course we thought that was going on for some time and argued to the press that they needed to look at that and dive into that and an coverage. it was a revelation that the fbi was looking at that as early as they were. it is one more drip in something that i have been highly

critical of, the double standards in that campaign. the intervention, the number of resources they spent, scores of fbi agents that they had poring over hillary clinton's e—mail server which james komi ultimately concluded it was not even worse. compared to their engagement on the russian side, this interventionjust 11 days before the election reopened this, the clinton investigation. yet total silence with respect to the russian intervention and now the potential collusion between the trumpet campaign and the russian actors. it was really a double standard that is still inexplicable to me. you are quite calm about this... no, i am very angry. to me. you are quite calm about this... no, iam very angry. i to me. you are quite calm about this... no, i am very angry. ijust learned to appear calm. do you have

confidence in the fbi investigation, clearly as you do not have confidence in their impartiality during the election? at this point i have never accused mist komi of... i think he made bad errors of judgement. i think he was being pressed by forces inside the fbi who may themselves have wanted to influence the election. i don't think i would accuse him... to see hillary clinton lose. i think mist komi was motivated more from that pressure coming from republicans on capitol hill, pressure coming from people, particularly in this field office that were putting pressure on him but against the advice of the department ofjustice, against long—term practice of democrat and republican justice department and

fbi leadership, he got involved and i think that was an error in judgement. we will return to the story of the attack at westminster before i leave you. and this evening hundreds of people have gathered for a vigil in trafalgar square, just a short walk away from the scene of the attack. candles were lit for the victims who lost their lives, with many more lit among the crowd. there have also dashmac there have also been tributes paid to the victims of the westminster attack around the world. particularly striking was this image of the british flag, projected onto the brandenburg gate in the german capital, berlin. just before christmas 12 people died when a truck was driven into crowds good morning. things are looking

good morning. things are looking good on the weather front over the next few days. the satellite sequence shows a fair bit of cloud across the uk that melted away but it is coming back in overnight with more cloud across the north of the uk as well. between large areas of clear skies which means temperatures will drop away and a chilly start for most places. with clear skies overnight we should have regular sunshine through the day. temperature wise this morning starting at seven degrees under cloudy skies in cardiff and london but northwards, the bottom end of single figures, particularly in rural areas with frost developing in scotla nd rural areas with frost developing in scotland and northern ireland. not so in the south—west, cloud an outbreak of rains, seven degrees in the morning, brighter in the western side of wales at the eastern side through the midlands east anglia in south—east fair clapboard stays dry. breezy and six, seven or eight degrees. north, sunshine promoters most of northern england. lovely start to the day here. yes, cold in

scotla nd start to the day here. yes, cold in scotland although a bit more of a cloud breeze and rain brushing the far north. that area of rain will move away towards the east so it will dry move away towards the east so it willdry up move away towards the east so it will dry up here all the while, a bit on the cloudy start i'd cloud further south tends to melt away from the east so good sunshine coming through to the afternoon and we will see 11, 12 or 13 degrees, maybe a little cooler in the immediate north sea coast. but in the far south and west but even that melts away as we get on into the evening. and then it is fine and dry through the small hours of saturday morning. temperature again will drop away with a hint of blue on the map indicating a touch of frost developing. the north was the lowest temperatures, particularly more rural spots where frost will develop. all in all it will be a decent start to the weekend. i pressure in charge, not moving with lalit fadlallah quickly so it will keep things fine and at will. the breeze towards the north and south of the uk on saturday but many places are having a pleasant day with good spells of sunshine. won in aberdeen shire, maybe 16 degrees

down towards the south and west. however around the south—eastern coastline along the media close, temperatures in the single figure, eight and nine in the breeze but a little bit further ahead and it will reach 15 or 16 degrees. so it looks like a decent second part of the weekend as well. on balance a bit more in the way of cloud coming in there everywhere will stay fine and dry and attempted to quite respectable. maybe more cloud by monday. all in all the week and looks fine. the sunshine will be warm but overnight still quite cold and a touch of frost. this is bbc world news. the main headlines. the man who carried out wednesday's deadly attack on westminster has been identified as khalid masood who was british born and is known to the police. islamic state says it was behind the atrocity. as the investigation continues, a fourth victim has died of the injuries he sustained on
