this is bbc news. i'mjane hill live in borough market, near london bridge in central london. police say they know the identities of the three men involved in saturday's attack, as more properties in east london were raided in the early hours this morning. 30—year—old christine archibald, a canadian, is the first victim to be named. 36 people are still being treated in hospitals across the capital — 18 of them remain in a critical condition. more tales of heroism: the romanian chef who hit one terrorist over the head with a crate and sheltered 20 people in his bakery.

i was walking toward him and i hit him with a second crate that i had in my hand. security moves centre—stage in the general election campaign as labour and the conservatives clash over who's best placed to protect the country. the uk terror threat level remains at "severe", but additional security measures are being put in place, including on bridges across london. good afternoon from an extremely windy london bridge this afternoon. a vigil will be held in the capital tonight in honour of the victims of

the attack. we are at the police cordoned here at london bridge. seven people were killed when three men drove into pedestrians on that bridge and then began stabbing people in nearby pubs and restau ra nts. people in nearby pubs and restaurants. 48 people injured, and 18 remaining critical condition in various hospitals in the capital. in the early hours of this morning police carried out more raids in east london and detained a number of people. another 12 people are still in custody. our correspondent richard galpin has the latest. this is borough market in the midst of the attack. it's being filmed by florin morariu, who's from romania. but instead of running to safety, he attacks the three men stabbing people in front of him. translation: i really thought i was in danger so i threw a bread crate at one of the attackers.

i saw he was going to dodge it so i hit him on the head with another crate. he also sheltered 20 people in the bakery where he works. they and many others describing him as a hero. but already seven people were dead and more than 20 critically injured. 30—year—old christine archibald from canada is the first of those killed to have been named. she left canada to be with herfiance and died in his arms on london bridge on saturday night. the police are working hard to establish the identity of all of those who were tragically killed or injured in the event on saturday night, but it is now clear that sadly victims came from a number of nationalities. this was an attack on london and the united kingdom but it was also an attack on the free world. this morning counterterrorism police carried out more raids

in north—east london, targeting two properties, as the hunt for any accomplices of the attackers continues. around about 4:10 this morning i heard a massive loud explosion, gunshots, about 20 gunshots going off across the road at an mot car tyre place across the road from us. loads of unmarked police. the police say they already know the identity of the three attackers. but while so—called islamic state claims it was behind the attack, the police doubt the militant group was directly involved. all the recent attacks, i think, have a primarily domestic centre of gravity. in the five we have foiled and these three recent attacks, in some of them there are undoubtedly international dimensions. we will always be looking to see if anything has been directed from overseas but i would say the majority of the threat we are facing at the moment doesn't appear to be directed from overseas.

in the last hour, the mayor of london has condemned what he described as the poisonous ideology of the men who carried out the attack. the acts of these three men on saturday night was cowardly, was evil, and i'm angry and furious that these three men are seeking to justify their actions by using the faith that i belong to, to justify their actions. the ideology they follow is perverse and is poisonous, and it has no place in islam. this was the third attack injust three months. two of them on bridges, where security is now being increased. and the threat level remains at severe, meaning yet another attack is highly likely. richard galpin, bbc news.

the first victim of the attack to be named is 30—year—old canadian national christine archibald. a french citizen was also killed, and four others seriously hurt. four australians are also known to have been caught up in the attack. this speaks to what a diverse city london is and how attractive it is to torres. —— —— attractive to tourists. daniela relph reports. to herfamily, she was chrissie, a person who had room in their heart for everyone, they said. a person who believe everyone should be valued and respected. christine had moved to europe from canada to be with her boyfriend tyler. on saturday night she died in tyler's arms. they had been walking over london bridge as the attack began. the van hit 30—year—old christine. her boyfriend's family say he tried

desperately to keep her alive and paramedics were on the scene very quickly, but there was nothing they could do to save her. in a statement her family said she wouldn't have understood the callous cruelty of her death. they also made this plea... christine archibald had worked at a homeless shelter back in canada. she had studied social work at university in calgary, where she was remembered as a shy and talented student. the area of social work she chose to work in is one of the most challenging areas and required substantial commitment, substantial compassion, and she was able to do that really successfully. she would be somebody we would be proud to have called a social work colleague. australian candice hedge was stabbed in the neck on saturday night.

she had been trying to hide from the attackers in borough market. her family believe she is actually one of the lucky ones. i was really scared, yeah, really, really scared. we eventually got onto the hospital. they spoke to me and said she had gone to surgery. she had a knife wound in her neck. across the london hospitals, the injured are still being treated. at king's college hospital, eight people remain in critical care. all the patients are being cared for by intensive care and surgical teams, who are doing an excellentjob. a number of patients remained in critical care, where they receive good treatment, and i expect them to remain there for a number of days or weeks to come. in the coming hours and days, the names of the other six killed will be made public, as will the anguish and pain

of their family and friends. daniela relph, bbc news. moving on to the investigation itself, let's hear from moving on to the investigation itself, let's hearfrom mark chishty, the officer in charge of engagement at the metropolitan police. this is an attack on all communities, including muslim communities. every time a terrorist attack text—based, muslim community isa attack text—based, muslim community is a the face against them. the muslim community appeals to all sections within their own communities to root out the scourge of terrorism which hides amongst their own people and masquerades as islam. the muslim communities are alarmed and concerned that this attack by three people, which would have required planning and yet was

not reported. it is the islamic duty of every muslim to be loyal to the country in which they live, and we are now asking questions to understand how extremism and hatred have taken hold within some elements of our own communities. terrorism and extremism is hurting islam. muslims must do more to stop such attacks from happening again, and we wa nt to attacks from happening again, and we want to know how we can play a greater role in the future. let's ta ke let's take a few minutes to reflect on how londoners are responding. people are going back to their business, in the usual way, at the

start of a new working week. we're joined by a member of southwark council. thanks for joining joined by a member of southwark council. thanks forjoining us. the response of londoners, both where we are in this borough, and generally, tell us what you take from the events in the capital in the last 40 8000. you like it is clear that people are going about their usual business again today as much as they can, buti business again today as much as they can, but i think the mood is sombre. i walked around the edge of the cord and a short while ago, and there are no people laughing or smiling. the mood is sombre but people are getting on with their business as usual. this really has hit across the board. you talk about the sombre mood, but that resilience will come through. we saw a lot of that in

manchester after the attack at the manchester after the attack at the manchester arena, and similarly, londoners are a diverse and tough bunch. absolutely, people are resilient and we'll get back to business as usual as soon as possible, i have no doubt. it is right that there is a pause and people reflect on what has happened and think about their friends in the area they know and love. you think that things happen in another part of the world. when it happens on your doorstep, near your home, that isa your doorstep, near your home, that is a wake—up call and it will affect people at the back of their minds. yes. there is a vigil later this evening, planned for eight few hours' time. what are your hopes for that? it is at potters field park at 6pm, pretty close to london bridge, andi 6pm, pretty close to london bridge, and i hope londoners will come together at the end of the working day for a moment of silence, to stand together and show we are

united, that what unites us is far greater than what divides us, and i hope that is the message that carries on, because ultimately, that is how this city works. we are incredibly diverse. many nations come together, as we saw on saturday, but united in loving london and wanting london to carry on being the best city in the world. thank you very much for your time. the labour leader of southwark council. let's talk more about the investigation. we have seen the raids, i2 investigation. we have seen the raids, 12 people still under arrest, the raids are in various parts of east london. cressida dick has said that her force knows the identities of the attackers but those names will not be released until it is operationally safe to do so and until the investigation is a little further down the line, but she says the police do know who those three men were.

0ur security correspondent frank gardner reports on the latest developments. chasing down a suspect in east london, as armed police aim their weapons. for the third time in three months, police are scrambling to follow up leads in the wake of an attack. in barking in east london, suspects were made to lie on the ground. many of those arrested were women. this is one of the three murderers on saturday night after being shot dead by police. it's emerged that at least one of the three had been reported for his extremist views, but apparently no action was taken. we have hundreds and hundreds of officers engaged in trying to piece together whether anybody else knew about the attack or planned or supported it in any way at all, and we have been arresting people. it's the conflict in syria that has massively ramped up the terrorist threat. hundreds of british jihadis have gone to join the ranks of so—called islamic state. as that group faces defeat in the middle east, hundreds have

come back and thousands more are being recruited into islamic extremism over the internet. what we have seen after this flurry of attacks now is that people are becoming frustrated, people do want to see concrete steps and actions from the government in a meaningful way that can mitigate this threat, that can manage it down. educating people about the risks of radicalisation extends even into the classroom. this was a school in waverley, birmingham. the government's prevent programme aims to steer people away from extremism before it's too late. help groups have also been set up to offer advice to vulnerable families. having that deep involvement, actually that parental control, so to speak... yeah. which is the key here. and that's why our work is centred around mothers, because they are the key change makers. they are the first ones to spot the signs. given the state of the terrorist threat, this is unlikely to be the last time britain mourns its victims from an attack on our streets.

police action can only go so far. challenging the ideology that feeds terrorism has now become the priority. frank gardner, bbc news. at 2:30pm, we will be talking more about the security elements that are being put in place across the capital. we will talk more about that. right now, we can hearfrom the prime minister, who is due to speak. i think she might be in edinburgh. let's hear more of that. they don't want strong women running for government or anywhere in britain, and this is how we stop them. we show them what britain is all about, and that is why we are back campaigning today. and i am delighted to bring the prime minister to delighted to bring the prime ministerto edinburgha delighted to bring the prime minister to edinburgh a city where we more than doubled our number of msps last year, increased our number

of councillors last month, and where we want to get mps back in the house of commons again. and scottish conservative mps, scottish conservative mps, scottish conservative mps, scottish conservative mps aren't going to the house of commons to try to rip scotland out of britain. we are better try to make britain great again to make sure we get back in scotland what we need, back to the dayjob, to scotland what we need, back to the day job, to improving scotland what we need, back to the dayjob, to improving our schools, improving our services, and back to encouraging our economy. that's what we need and that's what we can get more of at this election. that is the price. and there was another price: when she goes back to her desk on friday, make sure nicola sturgeon has a message from the people of scotland, and that message says, you can take your second referendum. we don't want it. we didn't ask for it. we said no, we meant it. get back to the dayjob and let us get back on with the job

of making a better scotland, and there is only one person that can help lead us across the entire country, only one person that's got the plan, the discipline, the rigour and the determination to take us forward. ladies and gentlemen, may i introduce to you, the prime minister of our united kingdom, theresa may. thank you very much. thank you, everybody, for that wonderful welcome, and it is fantastic to be backin welcome, and it is fantastic to be back in the beautiful city of edinburgh again. ruth, thank you for that rousing introduction. there is no doubt what scottish conservatives wa nt no doubt what scottish conservatives want on thursday, but thank you also for your leadership of the scottish conservatives. as ruth has said, in

this week, of all weeks, we stand together — england, scotland, wales and northern ireland — as one united kingdom. we are four proud nations but one united people, dedicated to our shared british values of freedom, of democracy, of human rights under the rule of law. and while we mourn those we have lost and hunt down those responsible, we remain absolutely committed to our democratic process. and that is why, over the next three days, we will all be out campaigning to ensure that we can deliver that strong and sta ble that we can deliver that strong and stable leadership, that leadership thatis stable leadership, that leadership that is needed to build a stronger, fairer, more prosperous britain for the future. and... and i am absolutely convinced that we can do that, because i believe in britain,

andi that, because i believe in britain, and i believe in the british people. and if you look at this election, i think there are a number of questions for people to ask. if that is what you want, if you want a stronger united kingdom, if you want afairer stronger united kingdom, if you want a fairer united kingdom, if you want a fairer united kingdom, if you want a more prosperous country, first of all, who do you trust to actually get the best deal for the whole united kingdom in europe? the? yes! i was going to say, orjeremy corbyn... i was going to say, orjeremy corbyn. .. because that i was going to say, orjeremy corbyn... because that matters, brexit matters because it is the basis of everything. there is another question — who has got the will and the planned to just get on with the job and deliver that brexit? don't forget, those negotiations start 11 days after polling day. and the fact is, the reality is that if we lose just six seats, the government loses its

majority. and that would meanjeremy corbyn in number ten, and nicola sturgeon pulling the strings from bute house. i think there is another question as well, and that is about who do you trust to strengthen the bonds across this united kingdom, who do you trust to stand up for our precious union? me, i'm a passionate unionist. i want to ensure the united kingdom stays together, we strengthen those bonds across the whole of the united kingdom. jeremy corbyn, negotiating with the snp for a second referendum, which he says is absolutely fine by him, i think is absolutely fine by him, i think is going to find that there is a different view from the scottish people. so, we can build that better britain, we can work together for that stronger, more prosperous future. what that means is, we need

to get the best deal from brexit, bring back control of our money, our laws and our borders, but it is also about forging new trade deals for our goods and services across the globe, that global, outward looking britain. it's about ensuring that we spread prosperity and growth across the whole united kingdom. that's what our modern industrial strategy is about, about helping people with their cost of living by capping rip—off energy tariffs, and of course it is about protecting our national security and defence, about dealing with the terrorists and standing up to the extremists. so, i'm confident that we can build that stronger, fairer, more prosperous britain. we have the plan, we have the vision we have the leadership to do that will stop we can do that together, but only the british people can give me an hour party that mandate, and so my message to

them is very simple: give me the backing to lead britain, give me the authority to speak for britain, strengthen my hand as i fight for britain. give me backing, and i will for britain. thank you, thank you. thank you. the snp have made it clear that they wa nt the snp have made it clear that they want a second independent referendum only after brexit is finalised. we have all been very clear, now is not the time to be talking about a second independence referendum, because we have got a task together which we need to pull together in

order to deliver on brexit negotiations, not try to drive these four nations apart, which is what nicola sturgeon is trying to do. robert... don't worry, i'll come around. you don't have to shout, i will see your hand. jeremy corbyn has called on you to resign today... laughter 0n laughter on thursday, this is serious, on thursday, the people of the united kingdom have a very simple choice when they come to vote. it is about who they believe has the leadership to ta ke who they believe has the leadership to take this country forward, to get the best brexit deal for britain from europe, to ensure that we can build that stronger, fairer and more prosperous britain for the future. who has the leadership in addition, the plan? it's me and the conservative party that had that

leadership, that plan that vision and that will take this country forward for the future. stv, after cutting police officers down south, will you consider removing vat from police scotland so they can invest £25 million extra in front line services here?, £25 million extra in front line services here? , first £25 million extra in front line services here?, first of all, i think you should be very careful when you look at what the scottish nationalists did in relation to that up nationalists did in relation to that up here. let's take the first part of your question, what we have done in the rest of the united kingdom is protected counterterrorism policing. what we have done is ensure that we have put an increase in to the numberofarmed have put an increase in to the number of armed police officers. what we have done, moreover, is ensured that police have the powers they need to deal with the terrorists. and those powers, that anti—terrorist legislation has been opposed throughout his parliamentary

career opposed throughout his parliamentary career byjeremy corbyn. and what is more, i very much support the police being able to shoot to kill. 0n saturday night, in just being able to shoot to kill. 0n saturday night, injust eight minutes, the police had shot and killed those attackers are and that saved countless lives. emily... you keep referring to a time when labour was arguing for 10% of police cut, but aren't you being disingenuous about that? what they were talking about that? what they were talking about was what the police could manage, when your party was planning cuts of up to 40% before you decided to protect the budget. the labour front bench said that the police could take 5—10% of cats. did we listen? no, we protected the police budget. that is the difference between us. lbc - nicola sturgeon says if she wins north of the border

in this election, that will reinforce our mandate for a second scottish independence referendum. is she not right? i have said it before, here this afternoon, and i will say it again — now was not the time for anybody to be talking about the second independence referendum. now is the time for us to come together as one united kingdom, getting the best possible deal across the whole united kingdom for britain in europe. but there is one thing the scottish people know when they go to vote on thursday — if they go to vote on thursday — if they want to vote for a party that believes in our union, a party that wa nts to believes in our union, a party that wants to strengthen the bonds of our union, there is only one vote, and thatis union, there is only one vote, and that is the vote conservative. thank you. i'lljust that is the vote conservative. thank you. i'll just take that is the vote conservative. thank you. i'lljust take one more, one more. the scotsman - it was put to nicola sturgeon this morning that a bad brexit deal would suck the purposes of the snp in their plan to leave the uk. she denied this. do you believe her? alll

leave the uk. she denied this. do you believe her? all i will say to thatis you believe her? all i will say to that is what i want is to get a good brexit dealfor the that is what i want is to get a good brexit deal for the whole of the united kingdom. that's for scotland and for the rest of the united kingdom. and it's a good brexit deal that ensures that we can continue to trade, to cooperate, and we have that deep and special partnership with the eu in the future. that's what i'm after on what my plan is for. those negotiations start 11 days after polling bail, —— polling day, and i think there is only one choice, and that is me and the conservative party. theresa may, in edinburgh. nicola sturgeon is facing questions from the public in a question time special tonight, along with lib leader tim farron. let's go to our correspondent in edinburgh. that message with her before, that if the conservatives lose six seats,

jeremy corbyn goes into number ten and nicola sturgeon would be pulling the strings from bute house, it is a strong message and one we have heard before. that is right. the tories are doing everything they can to impress on their supporters that this election is not in the bank and they need to turn out about, which is why they say a handful of seats changing could take the majority awake from the tories. it is the message theresa may is taking around the country this afternoon, as this election campaign once again changes gearfrom the election campaign once again changes gear from the aftermath of the terror attack at the weekend, back into aggressive campaigning mode today. it is theresa may's third visit to scotland since the election was called, an indication that they are was called, an indication that they a re pretty was called, an indication that they are pretty confident of reversing their long—time decline in scotland. they are selling themselves as the party to save the union, and they think that will give them a few seats, certainly around the borders area, but perhaps further north as well. she's back on the campaign

trail, and today putting security and anti—terrorism at the heart of this campaign, along with brexit. she said she would hunt down those responsible, she was best placed to stand up to extremism. but she is undoubtedly dogged by questions of her own record, the number of police officers that were laid off when she was home secretary. these are questions, in the last days of the campaign, thatare questions, in the last days of the campaign, that are now very cute and that she's going to be facing through to polling day. that she's going to be facing through to polling daylj that she's going to be facing through to polling day. i have two let you go, i think you have a bus to catch. we will talk to you later on. let's pick up on the issue of security after the events in london at the weekend. the emergency cobra committee met again and decided to maintain the terror level at severe, which means an attack remains lightly. but the prime minister has, day review of counterterrorism strategy. and the metropolitan police commissioner cressida dick has said we need to step up our game. with me is an adviser on

security operations at a think tank that provides analysis on a number of global security issues. it is the third attack in as many months. why do you think we are suddenly seeing this? and add to that the fifth plot since the westminster attack. that is important. following it, the isis magazine produced a storyline effectively declaring war on the united kingdom, that the uk is now the primary target in their focus, just like france had to bear the brunt between 2014—15, belgium and germany last year, it seems britain has become the focus for the group. they are carrying out similar attacks through what they calljust terror, picking up a knife, using a car at terror, picking up a knife, using a carata terror, picking up a knife, using a car at a lethal weapon, whatever they can do to hit the country consistently through a series plots.

they put out an image of white van, a knife and bridge in the days before the attack? yes, visualisation is very important for the group, it serves the purpose, the group, it serves the purpose, the oxygen of publicity. they are using various different ways, whether it is assisted, inspired or directed, they are trying to recruit people from the uk. it is notjust about the britons fighting in iraq and syria, there are those within the country that are being recruited through scripted messaging services that isis use, given guidance by the intelligence apparatus they have two plot, plan and activate in order to carry out attacks. could do any of this without the internet? it is possible, but much harder. the tools that are available have evolved. with al-qaeda, for example, the plots were very large. there was leakage of information and they have very large ambitions in terms of

terrorism. hijacking planes, blowing up terrorism. hijacking planes, blowing up buildings. in the case of isis, they keep it more manageable, smaller, the cells are one or two individuals. therefore it is very ha rd individuals. therefore it is very hard for authorities to pre—empt and disrupt these plots, because the intelligence is held in encrypted data they can't get hold of. how should we be responding? is this at afamily should we be responding? is this at a family level? families are very important. many families have lost their sons and daughters to the ideology of isis. it is always very important to remember that isis kills muslims, men, women and children in iraq and syria. people we re children in iraq and syria. people were horrified by what happened in manchester with all of those young children being murdered in the attack there. but that is u nfortu nately a attack there. but that is unfortunately a trait of isis. they have killed children in iraq and syria. whatever narrative is used to expose them, it is important people see the half—truths, the fine print, that this is a death cult and they

do not discriminate, they kill everybody. there is no coincidence that they find the attack during the month of ramadan, try to hijack a religious event for their own the darius purposes. afternoon. a spell of wet and windy weather pushing its way across the country as we speak. that is something we have not seen for a time. it is worth bearing in mind if you are out on the road. some of that rain is really quite persistent, accompanied by strong gale force winds. the heaviest rain has been across north wales and north—west england. as it continues to push eastwards, through this afternoon, we will see some heavy bursts through wales, south—west england and gale force gusts of wind lightly. following behind for northern ireland and scotland, sunny spells and scattered showers, with top temperatures of around 12 or 18 degrees. through this evening, the rain will push towards the london area and steadily drift north and east. it will be a fairly wet and

windy night for many of us through the night, not a cold one. but we start off tomorrow with the rain still to clear away from central and eastern england. it will grind to a health across much of north—east scotland. sunny spells and windy to follow behind. —— grind to a halt. let's get the latest sport from will perry. andy murray has reached his seventh french open quarter—final after a straight sets win over russia's karen khachanov. the world number one dominated the match against the unseeded 21—year—old. murray comfortably took the first set 6—3. he had a brief wobble in the second when he was broken, but still went on to take it 6—4. murray wrapped things up taking the 3rd set 6—4 to secure a last 8 tie with either kei nishikori or fernando verdasco. premier league champions chelsea are waiting to discover if eden hazard will be fit for the start of next season after he fractured his right ankle. the midfielder was injured in training yesterday and will miss

belgium's world cup qualifier match in estonia on friday, there are reports he could need surgery. the premier league season starts in less than 10 weeks. hazard meanwhile has said he would listen if real madrid offered him a deal, but added that he could stay at chelsea for many years. another chelsea midfielder, ruben loftus cheek, has been ruled out of england's under—21 squad for the forthcoming european championships. loftus cheek is still struggling with a back injury. chelsea's izzy brown and manchester city's patrick roberts are also out because of injuries. england face sweden in their opening group game in poland on friday 16th june. england are through to the semi—finals of the under 20s world cup right after a 1—0 win over mexico. paul simpson's side took the lead in south korea through striker dominic solanke, who recently joined liverpool from chelsea. they had to play the final quarter on an hour with ten men after tottenham's josh 0nomah was sent off. that was for a second yellow card.

they held on and will face italy in the last four. wales have included five uncapped players in the squad for the world cup qualifier in serbia on sunday. defendersjoe walsh, tom lockyer, gethinjones as well as midfielder lee evans and forward ben woodburn are in a 23—man squad. wales are third in group d after drawing against austria, georgia, serbia and the republic of ireland. chris coleman's side are four points behind both group leaders serbia and second—placed republic of ireland with five qualifying games remaining. warren gatland has named an entirely different starting 15 for the british and irish lions‘ second match of the tour of new zealand. the lions face the blues on wednesday wales hooker ken 0wens will captain the side. fellow welshmen rhys webb and dan biggar are the half—backs, with the england pair of maro itoje and courtney lawes in the second row. there's also a start for james haskell at flanker. there are eight all blacks in the blues starting 15. we know we will have to create the

momentum game on game and improve into the test match. 15 new guys starting, an opportunity to put our hands up to obviously raise standards week on week, game on game. that is what we need to do to beat the all blacks. england's cricketers play new zealand in cardiff tomorrow in the icc champions trophy. victory would put england into the semi—finals after new zealand's match with australia last week was abandoned because of rain. the black caps opener martin guptill thinks england are a different team to the one which got knocked out of the world cup i think this is very much a new look england side over the last couple of yea rs. england side over the last couple of years. it has worked very well for them. similar brand of batting to them. similar brand of batting to the way we have gone about our business in the last few years as well. you know, it will probably be an exciting game tomorrow and everybody is looking forward to it. that's all sport for now. welcome back to close to london

bridge. there is still a huge police cordon around this part of central london following the terrorist attack on saturday night. we are at the edge of the cordon, has closed to london bridge as we can get. seven people died, as we know. 48 we re seven people died, as we know. 48 were injured. we hear that 18 of those injured are still receiving critical care, a slight reduction in that number. 18 people still receiving critical care is what we are hearing at the moment. there has been a series of raids, various parts of east london, barking, east ham, we will have more from one of those areas in the next few minutes. first, this update on the investigation overall, strom richard galpin. jay borough market in the

midst of the attack. it is being filmed by a romanian. but instead of running to safety, he attacks the men starving people in front of him. translation: i really thought i was in danger, so i threw a crate at one of the attackers. i saw he was going to dodge it, so i hit him on the head with another trait. he also sheltered to 20 people in the bakery where he works. they, and many others, describing him as a hero. already, seven people were dead and more than 20 critically injured. 13—year—old 30—year—old christine archibald is the first of those named. she had left ca na da the first of those named. she had left canada to with her fiance had died in his arms on london bridge. the police are working hard to

establish the identity of all of those tragically killed or injured in the event on saturday night. it is now clear that victims came from a number of nationalities. it was an attack on london and the united kingdom, but also on the free world. this morning, counterterrorism police carried out more raids in east london, targeting two properties. the hunt for any accomplices of the attackers continues. about 4.10 this morning, i heard a massive explosion and about 20 gunshots across the road. loads of unmarked police. the police say they already know the identity of the three attackers. but while so—called islamic state claims it was behind the attack, the police doubt the militant group was directly involved. all of the recent

attacks, i think, directly involved. all of the recent attacks, ithink, have directly involved. all of the recent attacks, i think, have a directly involved. all of the recent attacks, ithink, have a primary domestic centre of gravity. in the five we have foiled and these three recent attacks, in some of them there are undoubtedly international dimension is. we will always be looking to see if anything has been directed from overseas, but i would say the majority of the threat we are facing at the moment does not appear to be directed from overseas. in the last hour, the mayor of london has condemned what he described as the poisonous ideology of the men who carried out the attack. the acts of these three men on saturday night was cowardly, was evil. i am angry and furious that these three men are seeking to justify their actions by using the faith that i belong to to justify their actions. they ideology they follow is perverse, it is poisonous

and it has no place in islam. this was the third attack in just three months. two of them were on bridges, where security is now being increased. the threat level remains that severe, meaning another attack is highly likely. lets talk to calum macleod, the vice chair of the police federation of england and wales. thanks for coming down to london bridge at a busy time for all of you. i would love to get your thoughts on the response that we have seen in this city over the last 36, 48 hours, both from the public, of course, but from some extraordinarily brave police officers as well. i think you have to recognise the actions that were taken on that night, the bravery that was shown by police officers and other emergency services, and also the reaction from the public, who pitched in and try to help. we

don't advise they do that, obviously, moving forward. but the way everybody has come together as shown it is a true leader in the world. what do you say to people that work here, live here, visit london, the point about public confidence now? we have had three attacks in the uk in about two months. some people have responded brilliantly, as you have outlined. but there will be people that are nervous, what do you say to people in that instance? we have been warning in relation to the reduction in policing numbers for the last five, six, seven years now. we have 21,500 less officers. that will have an impact in terms of the ability to respond to incidents as they arrive. i understand the metropolitan has not lost these numbers. but luck england and wales as a whole, that is the situation we face. cutbacks

in neighbourhood policing. neighbourhood policing is key in providing security for this country. it is the conversations you have with the community, with the youth, the elderly, that builds bridges and enables people to talk to the police, have confidence in the police, have confidence in the police that action is going to be taken if police that action is going to be ta ken if instances police that action is going to be taken if instances such as this arrive. the police will always do their best for the public, but we are incredibly stretched, to try to provide the assistance the public need. theresa may said that the overall police budget is protected and said police have greater powers now than they perhaps did in the past. i do want to talk about the point you raised about community policing. another element that has come out of all of these events is the need for anyone in the community that has concerns about anyone, for any reason, to have the confidence to come forward, to know who to contact. is your point that some of that could be done through the police? it is notjust about phoning a hotline? it should be done through

the police as well. there is no one solution, it is a joint solution. we have lost community police officers, the link to communities. by taking that away, you are taking away and ear that can be listened to and a voice that can be heard. you have to invest in security. if you don't do that, unfortunately we see instances such as this. colour macleod, vice—chair of the police federation of england and wales. thanks for joining us at london bridge. much more over the course of the day. for now, i will hand you back to simon. we will return to her a little later. i want to take you to durham. jeremy corbyn has just arrived, continuing hisjunior. jeremy corbyn has just arrived, continuing his junior. this jeremy corbyn has just arrived, continuing hisjunior. this is live. —— continuing his journey. continuing hisjunior. this is live. —— continuing hisjourney. we

suspect once again that the issue of security will be important, one that he has raised already. he and theresa may, clashing over the police numbers and the reduction of police numbers and the reduction of police numbers and the reduction of police numbers in the last five yea rs. police numbers in the last five years. a reduction thatjeremy corbyn says he would reverse. the prime minister says she has protected counterterror police numbers and she accused the labour leader of opposing shoot to kill policy. less than 72 hours to go before the election, party leaders have returned to the campaign trail after the electioneering was briefly suspended because of the london bridge attack in which seven people died. we return tojeremy corbyn, and alex forsyth is accompanying him. we will get reaction later on. the first funeral of a victim of the manchester arena attack is taking place on the island of barra in the outer hebrides. eilidh macleod was on a school outing to the ariana grande concert when a suicide bomber

killed 22 people. herfriend, 15—year—old laura macintyre, remains in hospital. from barra, our scotland correspondent lorna gordon reports. under grey atlantic skies, eilidh macleod was returned to her island home. slowly, gently, her coffin carried across the sand as a piper played music the teenager had been learning. this small community on the peaceful island where eilidh lived has been in shock at her death. the local school closed, businesses shut as hundreds of islanders filled the church and lined the streets for herfuneral. her family wanted this to be a celebration of eilidh‘s life. a young girl with an endearing, infectious personality. kind and cheerful, who loved music, reading, and spending time with herfriends. eilidh had gone to manchester with herfriend, laura macintyre,

who remains in hospital with serious injuries. eilidh‘s uncle said the legacy of eilidh‘s memory was now the islands to cherish and protect. she stands as a testament forever to the world of love, of innocence, goodness, generosity, kindness, and peace. eilidh will be laid to rest in the village in which she grew up. a beautiful girl, her parents said, who would stay eternally young, loved by all, and forever in their hearts. let's return to jane hill, at borough market.

we are continuing to reflect on the aftermath of another terrorist attack. on saturday night, seven people were killed here, 48 injured, 18 of those, we are told, still receiving critical care. there have been many raids and arrests in the capital since the attack on saturday. let's start this section of the programme by finding out more about one of them. let's talk to jane frances kelly in east ham. explain what is happening where you are? in the last three quarters of an hour, a police dog unit arrived. a dog has gone into the property. we have seen forensic teams coming in and out all day. neighbours say at about 4.30 this morning they heard gunshots, a loud explosion and police saying get down, get down. armed police went into the property

and the police have been searching it. there were reports earlier that six people were detained. we have talked to local people here that say they only knew a family of three. we're not sure how many were detained. earlier, iwas we're not sure how many were detained. earlier, i was at another location where there was an overnight raid in dagenham, beside the a13. neighbours say they heard gunshots and saw armed police going into a house next to a garage. at about eight o'clock, two individuals we re about eight o'clock, two individuals were detained. they covered their faces, so we do not know their sex or nationality. also at about eight, a woman was detained and taken away. as the met commissioner cressida dick says, it is a very fast—moving investigation and no doubt there will be further developments in coming days. thanks very much for that update. we will keep you

up—to—date with everything in terms of the investigation. let's also talk about the impact on london and londoners. as we saw in manchester after the attack at the arena, heightened security, and you might have seen photographs already some of the pretty swift changes that have come into force. we have obvious things like more armed police officers on the streets. that is quite visible, particularly on public transport hubs where we are, at london bridge. you might have seen images already of barriers going up. the first such barrier has gone up on westminster bridge. you will remember that is where london experienced a previous attack back in march. let's talk to nicky aitken, the conservative leader of westminster city council. thanks for joining us at london bridge. for people that have not seen the photos, explain what has gone on and the barrier that now runs all the way down westerners to bridge? on

both sides, police put up temporary barriers last night. we are working with them, as we have done since the attack on westminster, on a permanent solution. the point being that a car should not be able to get through that bollard to where pedestrians would walk closest to the river? a straightforward idea, but it has to be incredibly strong? exactly. but we are living in unprecedented times. the terror weapons of choice are rented vans and knives. we have to be able to respond to every eventuality. this is one idea the police and security services believe will help. we are working with them, and the security services say, you design it, we will make it safe and secure. it's very important to make sure people feel safe. but we don't feel we are in a lockdown situation. we have to go on with the rest of our lives. that is the only way we can pay homage to those that were murdered on saturday night, we have to get on with it. it

might sound callous sometimes, but it is true. londoners, sadly, we have got a bit used to this. therefore, we have to make sure that we do secure as much as we can, but we do secure as much as we can, but we go about our lives as best we can. are you suggesting that makes the people of this city very resilient? absolutely. we survived the blitz, the ira and now we are surviving this next terror. but we have to work together. that is why local authorities like westminster and southwark will work with the met and southwark will work with the met and security services. but you can't make the whole place 100% safe. that said, make the whole place 10096 safe. that said, i have to ask you what went through your mind when, as leader of a council that have experienced a similar attack, a van driving into pedestrians on westminster bridge, you hear the news that something very similar has happened here at london bridge. what on earth went through your mind? again, it is that

awful feeling of what those people went through on saturday night. but went through on saturday night. but we saw the worst of humanity and the very best of it. that is what we have to hold onto. there is good and good will prevail in society, it a lwa ys good will prevail in society, it always does. we have to make sure that we stick together, that this does not divide us, that we are a united country, a united community. london is united, very diverse, and we welcome people from all walks of life and all corners of the globe. that is what makes us great. westminster remains open, southwark remains open, london remains open. thank you very much indeed. much of what nicky aitken was saying reminds us and takes us to that point us to the victims of this attack. we have been hearing that one canadian lady died, a french citizen and some

australians also caught up in it. we will catch up with the weather prospects wherever you are in the country. good afternoon. we are looking at a speu good afternoon. we are looking at a spell of wet and windy weather across the uk this week. for some it was a beautiful start, quite tranquil across kent, with blue sky and sunshine. that was quickly masked by cloud invading from the west. that cloud, thick enough to bring some heavy and persistent rain which is going to stay with many of us to the afternoon. the heaviest of it is into the north—west, dribs and drabs into the south—eastern corner. across north—west england, this has been the story so far today and it will continue into the afternoon in cumbria. as you can see, wet and windy. northwest england and wales in particular, that is where we are likely to see the heaviest of the rain. it is worth bearing in mind if

you are out on the roads, persistent rain and strong to gale force gusts of wind of exposed coasts. across the south west, the brighter, vivid colours denoting the intensity of the rain. perhaps not reaching the extreme east of england until after dark. wet weather into the northwest continuing. for northern ireland, much of scotland, a better picture into the afternoon. sunny spells, scattered showers, top temperatures of 1116 degrees. through the night, wet and windy weather, gale force gusts of wind on exposed coasts drifting steadily eastwards. it is going to be a pretty murky night. not cold, 913 degrees is the overnight low. we start tomorrow with the area of low pressure centred through the spine of the country, the rain still too clear. it may well linger across the far north—east of scotland. behind it, the wind is still a feature. the strongest wind is likely for the southern flank. gale force gusts still an issue. rain easing, but it

will continue for a time in scotland. thundery showers following on behind. as we move out of tuesday and into wednesday, the lower finally clears to scandinavia. we start to see the wind swinging round to more of a north—westerly. a drier down wednesday, but a fresher feel, particularly on exposed north west coasts. highest values of 20 in the south—east. this is bbc news, i'mjane hill live in borough market near london bridge. police say they know the identities of the three men involved in saturday's attack, as more properties in east london were raided early this morning. christine archibald from canada is the first victim to be named. the 30—year—old social— worker was visiting london for the first time with her fiance. 36 people are still being treated in hospitals across the capital —

18 of them remain in a critical condition. more tales of heroism — the romanian chef who hit one of the attackers over the head with a crate and sheltered 20 people in his bakery.
