euer" eq.ffi-"§.-»f'flhx ' in schools. england's behaviour chief says the extent of the problem is getting worse. i'm sally bundock. the top stories this hour. more details have emerged about the man who killed three civilians and a police officer in the westminster attack. police have identified him as 52—year old khalid masood, who was born in england. it's now believed he was initially named adrian elms, suggesting he changed his name after converting to islam. president trump has demanded that a vote be held on healthcare reforms to replace those of the obama administration, even though it's unclear whether they have enough support to be passed. after a day of intense negotiations in washington failed to produce a clear outcome, a vote is expected to take place on friday. 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. 0ur 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 stall on offensive by far more powerful 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 thousand 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 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 swept through 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. i will leave you with this report on the loss of police officer keith palmer. honouring a fallen comrade. at 9:33am this morning, a minute's silence for pc keith palmer. 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 had seen, attacking one of the policemen. that's the decision i took to then leap the fence 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 how no—one went to his colleague's aid 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 am 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 on the scene 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 just 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 didn't pull through. i'm 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. good morning. the weather looks good
