5:46 am
plans to review existing police and security powers, increase pressure on tech companies, and introduce tougher anti—terror laws. france's le figaro pictures some armed counter—terrorism officers near the scene of saturday night's attack. it reports that british prime minister theresa may wants to "eradicate" extremism following the assassination claimed by the islamic state. —— by the islamic state. the china daily says that campaigning for the general election later this week was halted. the photo shows crowds leaving the area after the attacks, during which seven people were killed and 48 injured. the south china morning post has a picture of the candlelit vigil commemorating the victims of the tienanmen massacre on its front page. and on the london attacks, it reports that police raided
5:47 am
several addresses in east london, making 12 arrests. and the independent pictures singer ariana grande performing at old trafford in the all—star benefit gig for victims of the manchester bombing. "manchester's message — we are not afraid." so let's begin. afamiliar a familiarface a familiar face is with us. jonathan charles, managing director of communications at the european bank of reconstruction and development. hello, good morning. yet again, we are discussing a terrorist attack, this time in london, again, let's look at the telegraph ‘s angle. they talk about some the latest development and also some of the security lined with regards to barking in london in particular and
5:48 am
some of the detail that is coming through. that is the headline bear, police uncover youtube link to london terror attack, making it very clear as far as the telegraph is concerned, that there is something that links social media to this. obviously we know of the hate videos on social media that are often the cause of radicalisation and they are pointing to that, and planes into the from theresa may, the prime minister, yesterday, in which she said she wanted to close down what she regarded as a safe space. it has been a lot of hit back from social media companies who say they are trying to stay one step ahead of terror individuals, people involved in terror groups, there is the issue of example for whatsapp. it is encrypted and the only people who know what is in the message which is the sender and the receiver and not even terrorists know who is
5:49 am
mentioned. we know these end to end in encrypted message and services are being used more and more on lone wolf people. people who are generally may be just one or two people, outside the scope of the security services's regular monitoring, also what is known as residual threats rather than current threats, but they use these areas and it is difficult, what do you do? the thing about terrorism and thinking back to the ira in a less sophisticated time in the 70s and 80s, they were often able to get around police monitoring that actually they would always find a way. i was going to say if whatsapp was not to be end to end encryption, they would use other means. exactly. when theresa may says anna is enough, it is easy to say that of course it's difficult to do. if it could be done it would have been done by the intelligence services along time ago. remember it was only the other week after manchester, 33,000 individuals maybe at risk of radicalisation, potential targets
5:50 am
for radicalisation, heppell who they are keeping an eye on but you cannot monitor of that amount of people. one thing that is incredible, the telegraph looks at various angles, so telegraph looks at various angles, so does the ft, and enough is enough from theresa may as well, on the headline bear, it is the fact the police responded so quickly. within eight minutes. these three terrorist we re eight minutes. these three terrorist were neutralised, eliminated, whatever phrase you want to use. some would argue that in the case of westminster, the police officer that died who was unarmed, there was a police officer trying to counter these three men with a pattern. —— bat on. there are lots of questions about our police services in some commentators, —— and some police commentators, —— and some police commentators in america are saying well, our police are armed. eight minutes may seem fast but it is quite slow by police standards. i've been talking to offices in the city
5:51 am
of london for example and they will tell you their aim is to be at the site within three minutes of an armed response unit. three minutes is the norm in large parts of london and they have been practising that time and time again, particularly since the mumbai attacks a few years ago. they worked out the end that a similar thing could happen in london. there is an issue and it's come out in the election campaign. we saw from jeremy corbyn last night this line that you cannot protect the united kingdom on the cheap and he was making a point that theresa may was being, running the home office and then the government for the past few years at a time when police numbers have been cut and it isn't just a police numbers have been cut and it isn'tjust a question of having armed officers on the streets, a question of visible policing and how important it is and whether police and security services have the resources to do this, we will see if that plays into the election. the figaro, extremely poignant, because they had a period of time like we are with attack after attack. —— le
5:52 am
figaro. it is the point as to whether people are egged on by seeing on attack and wanting to do something and coming out and doing it and as you said france had it time and time again including in the run—up to the election, a few days before that, with the killing of a police officer, so front again showing solidarity, as have many countries with the uk, and you have to remember many countries these days have suffered a attacks. david, bringing you in, many newspapers have this and they are all talking about it but the china daily highlighting the fact that we have an election just a few days away. timing is everything. you couldn't agree more. let me reflect on those pictures again because of what jonathan was saying is interesting, this is the terrorists, the tabloid, independent, police officers there but you have had this picture
5:53 am
already back in the china daily, thatis already back in the china daily, that isjust not what already back in the china daily, that is just not what the already back in the china daily, that isjust not what the british public have learned to expect and maybe have to come to get used to. very high profile, very visible, very heavily armed. that is the image for now. the wall street journal very briefly at the emotive, very emotional side of the story there. i think listening very emotional side of the story there. ithink listening in very emotional side of the story there. i think listening in to what you and jonathan were talking about, sadly, yes, the election is one thing that is coming but isn't it interesting you can talk about intelligence, and you can talk about monitoring, you can talk about what sort of encryption there it is, people are beginning to realise that you can do these things, sadly, with a vehicle and with a knife and that is the reality of what has happened here over the last few days. that doesn't take an extensive network of people to work it out through any social media, electronic or any other sort of means. and i think
5:54 am
thatis other sort of means. and i think that is where the real challenge comes in with, asjonathan that is where the real challenge comes in with, as jonathan was saying, slogans like enough is enough. doing something about it, that really is a massive challenge. and finally, thank you, david, i don't no if you were watching, jonathan, a concert last night in manchester. i think in a way that two things struck me, one was the poor use of ariana grande. it must be difficult to go back on stage knowing the last time that you onstage in manchester there was an explosion. —— the terrorists. when you look at the crowds, the people willing to turn out for this, even though they knew that this was a high security potential target as well. absolutely. it was a great thing to do and shows great poise. thank you for being with us, jonathan. hello there, good morning. by the end of this week, you may be wondering what has happened to the summer
5:55 am
because the week ahead looks very, very unsettled. there'll be some spells of rain which could be quite heavy at times. accompanied by some strong and gusty winds and some drier interludes and it may turn a little bit warmer towards the end of the week. ourfirst area of rain is coming from this developing cloud here and we have already seen that cloud bringing rain across northern ireland and spilling its way into scotland, so a wet start before things brighten up. a dull start for northern ireland. turning wetter across north—west england, across wales, and the south—west as well. even further east, we'll see some showery bursts of rain, especially in the afternoon. let's head into the afternoon, though, with some brighter skies and sunshine, we will trigger heavy and perhaps thundery showers in scotland. for northern ireland as well, a few showers coming, after that dull start. feeling particularly cold though across northern england as the rain sets in here, and particularly wet across across wales and the south—west of england. some brief warmth towards the east of england, east anglia and the south—east, but we will these showery bursts of rain developing, especially in the afternoon. the wettest weather probably further west into wales and north—west of england, where there could be
5:56 am
as much as 80 millimetres of rain during monday and monday night. the rain moving slowly northwards and eastwards and at the same time, the winds continuing to strengthen, especially across the south coast and in the south—west. a very blustery picture as we head towards the end of the night. and we start on tuesday with temperatures ten or 11 degrees but of course we start with some wet weather, especially across scotland and eastern england. the main rain is pushing up with that area of low pressure into scotland — eastern scotland in particular — but we should see that weather front taking most of the rain away from eastern england, although it could linger in northern england. the wetter weather is going to be across scotland. elsewhere, very gusty wind, strong—to—gale force winds, blowing in a mixture of sunshine but also some heavy, and potentially thundery, showers. not a particularly good day again. it looks better for most places on wednesday, windy though, still, for scotland and northern ireland. still some rain in the north—east. but a slice of drier and brighter weather for a time before we get some more rainjust ambling
5:57 am
into the south—west. our main area of low pressure finally clears away and the rain eases in the north—east of scotland but a complicated tangle of weather fronts moves in from the atlantic, bringing in some further spells of rain across england and wales, although it may tend to clear away later on thursday to allow us some warmth and sunshine and showers. but some heavy and thundery downpours are possible across northern ireland and later scotland. hello, this is breakfast, with charlie stayt at borough market in london — the scene of the third terror attack in the uk in less than three months.
5:58 am
police say they they've identified the three men who murdered seven people and left dozens injured in a brutal assault on saturday night. the first of the victims has been named as christine archibald from canada. her family say she has room in her heart for everyone. 11 people are in custody following arrests in barking in east london — the islamic state group is claiming its "fighters" carried out the attack.
