never be in my name or in the names of the british muslims. —— said the calm. in last half an hour there has been some developing news with the police confirming two of the three attackers who were shot dead they have been named as khuram nutt and rachid redouane. we will give you more details on that. let's speak to rob watson. i guess the last half an hour is representative of what is happening in the city. it is incredibly moving to see what is happening. this part of london is fa ntastically is happening. this part of london is fantastically busy. people have gone about their business as usual, but you can see behind as the road has closed, part of the infrastructure

has been blocked off. has been. blackeé ‘“\"‘:t:f='~‘:'~' this is what people are talking about. certainly a great deal of defiance and people going about their business. you are absolutely right, there is a massive police operation. this is the second one in just over one week, to try and track down and get the identity of the attackers. most of the police activity apart from here in london bridge has been in the east of the city? yes, the two men who have been named, from barking, which is four oi’ named, from barking, which is four or five kilometres from named, from barking, which is four orfive kilometres from here. it will take about 25 minutes on my bike. —— barking. will take about 25 minutes on my bike. -- barking. the mayor didn't talk about politics but he did speak at length about cuts and that issue has been politicised in the context of the general election. politics

works sort of on hold after manchester. i'm not sure if this is because of the election being three days away. it's broken out because labour party —— the labour party are highlighting police cuts and bay are anti—austerity. theresa may has said thatjeremy corbyn has given succour to groups like the ira in the past. these striking phrase earlier from cressida dick, the metropolitan police commissioner is that we are dealing with a new reality. whatever government gets in on thursday, they will have to come up with a new strategy. the politics is magnified because the election is so close,

but really when it comes to the nuts and bolts of the counterterrorism issue, that is does everyone feel we should have competent intelligence and well trained belize, everyone does a lot of the political disagreements are somewhat artificial. —— well—trained police. the broader question, the wider issue of how we all get along in britain, what about the issue of multiculturalism that to reza may raise and which david cameron raised, and tony blair. those are the really difficult issues. —— theresa may. whilst there is a discussion over police cuts, that in the context over whether this attack

could have been spotted from afar. the police were there on saturday in eight minutes. in terms of armed officers, numbers are going up and in terms of the intelligence service, they have been given more resources , service, they have been given more resources, but there is this broader debate about if you have a 10% cut in belize, does it mean you have a few eyes and ears on the streets? the government can come back and say, hang on a minute, you canjudge home affairs policy by police numbers, or you can judge home affairs policy by police numbers, or you canjudge it by crime numbers. there was a crime levels in murder rates have gone down, despite the cut in police numbers. if any of you are just joining us, police in the last hour have named two of the three attackers who died just up the road

from where i am talking to you from in london bridge. khuram butt, 27, who lived in barking in london. we also know that rachid redouane has been named by police as the second person. what is also worthy of note is that one of these men featured in a channel 4 documentary a few months back i was very much known to the authorities. there are two ways of looking at this. if one of the attackers were sort of known, if the attackers were sort of known, if the attacker in manchester was on the radar, why were they stop? some people will say that surely it is police and intelligence failure. the other way to look at it, and what the security services will point people towards is that we are not a

police state and we can't monitor everyone. they say over 20,000 people are considered people of interest. a much smaller number they consider to be actively dangerous extremists. you have to prioritise and of course there will be mistakes. they have always said that someone mistakes. they have always said that someone is bound to get through at some someone is bound to get through at some point. let me pick out one other point is that cressida dick made. she said the majority of threats aren't coming from overseas. that was interesting, given what we have said about young men being radicalised in places like libya or syria and then coming back into europe. this is about the way the threat changes. as i dashed out when i started as a security and defence correspondent, the threat the

counterterrorism police were looking at was specific. it was people who have gone to train with our high leader in parts of pakistan. in the last 12 years the threat has moved on. you have had the arab spring, what is happening in iraq. now there is the idea of people being almost self—radicalised. is the idea of people being almost self-radicalised. very briefly, we have two days of campaigning left in the general election. we never imagined it would be focused on security. that's where it's going to stay, isn't it? it's hard not to see that. theresa may wants to make it about leadership and brexit, but absolutely. we are in uncharted waters. we have had two major incidents it is new territory. thank you very much indeed. in the last 30

minutes we have seen the mayor of london lee david jewel —— lee david jewel. the police have named two of the attackers and there will be continuing coverage of the london bridge attack on the bbc. not very pleasant out there at all. the bad weather will continue to night and there will be heavy rain. the winds tomorrow might even be stronger. the cloud has been shrouding the uk over the last two hours or so. the heaviest of the rain has been across these most western areas. heavy rain will be pushing into south—western scotland, the lake district, and to the south

of that the wins will be swinging to a north—westerly direction and it will be blowing hard around the coastal areas. a blustery picture. tomorrow at the low pressure is slap bang over us. you can see a lot of isobars there. it looks more like autumn than june. a isobars there. it looks more like autumn thanjune. a window of better weather at this stage, eight o'clock in the morning across the south west and wales. more sunshine, but it is very windy. it could be costing close to 50 miles an hour. that is stronger this time of the year and it will whip up the trees. the rain continues to fall in the morning across scotland central eastern areas. throughout the course of the day, stays wet across northern parts of england and scotland. the strong west to north—westerly winds continue across northern wells. here, rather than it being overcast,

it will be bright with occasional blustery showers where it is further north and east. an unpleasant day for some of us tomorrow and that rain in the north will continue into tomorrow evening as well. as we head into wednesday the low pressure pulls out into the north sea and we have got a window of better weather with another with the system coming in. on wednesday we are anticipating drier weather. it will feel warmer. 20 degrees in london. rain later in the date moving into south—western areas. it will feel warmer as it brightens up across the south—east. goodbye.
