welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. my name is mike embley. our top stories: police say one of the three london bridge attackers was a well—known supporter of an islamist extremist group. president trump attacks the mayor of london again on twitter. the white house says he is not picking a fight. australian police are treating a deadly siege in melbourne as a terrorist incident. america's biggest celebrity court case for decades. bill cosby faces charges he used power and fame to drug and sexually assault a helpless woman. two of the three men who carried out saturday's terror attack in london have been named by police.

khuram butt was 27, a british pakistani living in east london and was well known to police and mi5. the second attacker was rachid redouane, 30 years old, also from east london. this report from our home editor mark easton. they knew him. one of the three men who murdered seven people in london on saturday night was well known to police and mi5 as an extremist. documentary voiceover: the group display the black flag of islam. khuram butt, featured in a channel 4 documentary last year on radical islamists in britain. its title — thejihadis next door. so how was he able to go on to kill until counterterrorism officers shot him dead? police have tonight confirmed the names of two of the attackers. khuram butt, a 27—year—old from a british—pakistani family. he lived in barking in east london and was married with two children including a young baby. in the last few years, he worked for kentucky fried chicken and was a customer service advisor at transport for london. less is known about rachid redouane.

police and security services say he was unknown to them before the attack but is understood to be 30 years old, claiming to have a libyan or moroccan background. until last year, he lived in dublin with a scottish partner, but according to irish prime minister enda kenny, was not known to the security services. there are a small number of people in ireland who are being monitored and observed in respect of radicalisation and matters relevant to that. in this case, these facts are being checked but my understanding is that this individual was not a member of that small group. why you touching him for? khuram butt, though, was very much on the uk security services‘ radar and there will be serious questions about how someone with such well—known extremist views was able to carry out a murderous attack on the streets of london. security barriers appeared on some london bridges overnight

as london bridge itself reopened to people and traffic heading in and out of the square mile. london is getting back to normal. this bunch of flowers almost the only sign of the carnage that was here on london bridge on saturday night and into sunday morning but a huge police and security operation is continuing, trying to map the network of people behind the ideas that spawned mass murder of london's streets. bouquets at the border of what is now a huge crime scene in the heart of the capital. tents marking the places in borough market where people fell, forensic officers gathering clues and evidence. this afternoon, the commissioner of the metropolitan police visited the area with the mayor of london. it is deeply, deeply chilling and horribly sad to see what we have just seen and to think about the barbarous acts on saturday night. we saw extraordinary courage, extraordinary

professionalism and extraordinary compassion from our public servants. political and religious leaders, emergency service workers as well as thousands of ordinary londoners attended a vigil in a public park this evening just a short distance from where the attacks occurred. as a proud and patriotic british muslim, i say this, you do not commit these disgusting acts in my name. applause. and you will never succeed in dividing our city. people came to remember, to you unite and to give thanks. but if they also came to seek answers as to how this attack could have happened, tonight, there seemed to be more questions. mark easton, bbc, news, london bridge. scotland yard has said all 12 people

arrested so far in connection with the london bridge attack have now been released without charge. to the attackers. ed thomas has the latest on the investigation. more raids and more searches. this was a garage in east london this morning, surrounded by police. and for a second day, forensic teams look for clues inside the home of one of the three london attackers. this man, khuram butt. he was 27 and a father of two young children. born in pakistan, raised in london. he worked on the london underground before turning to islamist extremism. my kids loved to play with him. this lady is a neighbour who said that he was well—known but now she feels fooled. he was nice to the kids. he was always a sharing with the

neighbours. i was blind. scary, we have children playing near. benjamin always said hello to khuram butt, even on the day of the attack. yes, i can remember seeing him. what was he like? he was quiet. what was he wearing? arsenal t—shirt. was he calm when you saw him on saturday? yeah he was calm. michael watched police move into his neighbour's house. we thought he was moving out because he was parked in a middle—of—the—road. he also watched the london attacker in the white van speeding up and down their street. we saw the van, to be precise, around 630. what was the van doing? it screeched up, they drove really fast and another car was behind him, a red car. so it was speeding up and braking?

braking on the bend. notjust known to his neighbours, khuram butt was known to mi5 and counterterrorism police as an extremist. he wasn't happy with how women were dressed. he wanted women to wear hijabs. this teenager new khuram butt, they speak in parks and in a nearby mosque. he didn't want to show his face and asked us to protect his identity. he would talk about syria, afghanistan, getting bombed. he said that they would debate syria, iraq and islamic state. do you think he was trying to radicalise you? not sure. i wouldn't want to turn out like a bad person and going to different countries and they are killing people. so i wouldn't, like, want to do that kind of thing. tonight, the searches continued

to reveal the truth behind an enemy within. the mayor of london has said he won't allow donald trump to divide communities in the wake of saturday's attack — the us president has again criticised him on twitter. mr trump accused sadiq khan of making a "pathetic excuse" for telling londoners there was no reason to be alarmed. in fact the mayor had said people shouldn't be alarmed by the extra armed police on the streets. i spoke just now to corey brettschneider, professor of political science at brown university: this is a time to show solidarity with the people of england, the people of london and what donald trump has done is an embarrassment to the united states. it does the opposite. it revives a rivalry with the mayor of london at a time when we really should be standing together. why do you think he has done this? the pair have previously

had a beef. sadiq khan called donald trump above boon and hope he loses and loses big and thought the ban was a mistake. the rivalry goes back to the situation of the travel ban. the four circles of appeal had said this is a band that was unconstitutional —— ban. in other words, donald trump's ban has no place. he was called out, rightly, by the mayor of london. we have been hearing more of the trump white house's view on this. the bbc‘s newsnight programme spoke to donald trump's deputy assistant of the senior adviser stopped this was his

response. if this is going to be an avid discussion about a tweet for six minutes then it really a game is something that is unseemly. the president was making a very, very valid point. we have twojettisoned political correctness, we have two apply honesty to the threat and saying it is just business as usual, don't worry about a thing, a pollyanna attitude to a threat that has killed 170 people in the past two years has killed 170 people in the past two yea rs in has killed 170 people in the past two years in europe alone and maimed more than 700, has to be dealt with honestly. well, professor, there are fair points in there. no. anti-trump u nfortu nately fair points in there. no. anti-trump unfortunately echoed some of what was said. he said he preferred the earlier travel ban, not the watered—down politically correct version, the second one that he signed. i think what that means is

he wants to be more transparent about the fact that he thinks that islam, as a religion, is to blame. being more transparent about his anti— muslim animus, as the court circuit put this. and he doesn't like being told he can't do that. what he has done is he has torpedoed his lawyer's case, he has been his own worst enemy. made it clear that his report was right that it is anti— muslim animus. the point about being politically correct, it is a code word for what is really going on which is hatred and prejudice against muslims. briefly, some of wondering whether this offensive but a random white noise coming from the white house is an attempt to distract from the fact the fact fbi director is due to give testimony. this is a white house that is a dish should. it is a possibility that donald trump has engaged in obstruction of justice.

donald trump has engaged in obstruction ofjustice. that he had a higher crime of misdemeanour and might be subject to impeachment. what that means is he is looking for any destruction and it is a white house that is flailing right now. a siege in an apartment building in the australian city of melbourne has ended with two people dead. police shot and killed a gunman who had been holding a woman hostage. a second man was found dead earlier, with a gunshot wound. we understand now from the police that this has been dealt with as a terror incident. the gunman, 29—year—old yacqub khayre, shot dead at the end of it, having fired at the police and injured three of them. previously, he had shot dead the attendant at the serviced apartment block, where he then held a woman hostage. apparently she was an escort he'd lured to the building, held her against her will and made her call in to the emergency services to say the siege was happening. it is possible that he tried to lure the police to the apartment block before opening fire.

he is a man with a long criminal history. it is understood he was also involved with extremism. back in 2009, he was accused of being part of a plot to attack a military base in sydney. he was acquitted of that but then went to jail for violent offences. he was also involved with drugs and alcohol. the police saying he was known to them, he had a long criminal history, but they're stressing that his recent past didn't give any indications of violent extremism. just briefly, i gather that islamist extremists are claiming responsibility. what indications are there that he may or may not have had a wider network? one key piece of evidence was a phone call made to one of the tv channels here in australia where a man claimed he was carrying out these actions in the name of is and on behalf of al qaeda. the islamic state through their propaganda wing have claimed

responsibility for this attack. however, the police commissioner here is being cautious and in his words, the is jump up pretty quickly every time something happens. they say, so far, their investigations suggest there was nothing orchestrated or planned, organised, by islamic state here. possibly this person was inspired by islamic extremism rather than organised or orchestrated by it. let's take a look at some of the other stories making the news. the fbi has arrested a young woman employee of a security contractor, working for america's national security agency. she's charged with leaking to a news organisation an nsa report which assesses that russian intelligence tried to hack us voting systems, days before last year's presidential election. there is no indication voting machines were actually compromised. five people have been killed in a shooting at an industrial park in orlando, florida.

mayor sadiq khan, says he won't allow donald trump to divide communities in the wake of the london bridge attack, after the us president again criticised him on twitter. a canadian woman has become the first of the seven victims of saturday's attack to be officially named. she was christine archibald who was visiting london for the first time with her fiance. this report from our special correspondent allan little on the victims of saturday's attack. the faces of those caught up in the attack reflect the character of london — diverse, global, a magnet drawing youth and energy from around the world. chrissy archibald, who was 30 and from canada, was walking on london bridge with herfiance, tyler ferguson, when she was struck by the killers' van. he heard tyres screeching, and he looked back, and hejust saw the mayhem that was going on, and the van hitting people. and then he ran up and tried cpr on her, and she passed in his arms.

her family said she would not have understood the callous cruelty with which she was killed. the french foreign ministry said one french citizen had been murdered, and eight others injured. a further two french nationals remain unaccounted for. candice hedge was one of four australians injured. she was stabbed in the throat, and is now recovering in hospital. she was hiding at the time, and the guy, you know, got her, and just kind of stabbed her in the neck somewhere and that's really all i know. i was really, really scared. but, yeah, i eventually got onto the hospital, and they spoke to me, and they said, yeah, she's fine now. she's going to be ok, that's the main thing. daniel 0'neill, who's 23, suffered a seven—inch wound to the abdomen. his life was saved by a friend, who stopped the bleeding by applying a tourniquet. jeff ho, a journalist, was stabbed while trying to stop

theresa may called for international agreements to regulate cyberspace and help prevent the spread of extremist material. google, facebook and twitter say they‘ re investing significant resources in fighting the spread of extremism. amol rajan looks at the criticisms facing social media companies. if you know what you're looking for, it's easy to find extremist propaganda on the internet. 0nline magazines and videos with high production values that glamorise the struggle to establish the caliphate are shared widely on social media and through messaging apps. the spotlight now is on the technology platforms that host such material. despite public concern, google, facebook and twitter declined an interview request, and not for the first time. but in statements, google said... facebook said... and twitter said... extremists are migrating onto messaging apps like telegram and whatsapp. these have end—to—end encryption, which creates a safe space in which those extremists can operate. but opening a back door to such apps

brings its own problems and could be a gift to cyber criminals. a lot of people naturally think that these tech companies make billions in profit and so should be held to account. that's true, of course, but these issues are fiendishly complex, with no single solution. one problem is the sheer volume of material that is uploaded onto the internet every day. but the deeper question is whether or not internet companies, who have no democratic mandate, should be given the power to decide who sees what online. germany is drafting legislation that would fine tech firms if they don't remove extremist material. but not everyone thinks that more regulation is a good idea. well, regulation is something you need to do carefully. you need to understand that you are not creating incentives to do the wrong thing, to censor more than you need, to remove people's free speech rather than just removing terrorist content. you need to be confident that you're not upsetting the delicate balance. as calls for tech giants to clamp

down on terror grow, it's not yet clear that granting the world's biggest companies yet more power over our lives is the best available solution. to the biggest celebrity court case in decades. bill cosby arrived in pennsylvania today after allegations that he drugged and molested a woman. it is a sight bill cosby‘s accusers never thought they'd see. the legendary entertainer at court in pennsylvania to stand trial for sexual assault. mr cosby was once one of the most loved stars on television. wholesome, funny, he was america's favourite dad. but that enduring image has unravelled as a staggering number of women, now nearly 60, have come forward with strikingly similar allegations. his behaviour was like that of a predator.

i woke up in the back of my car, alone, my clothes were a mess, my bra was undone. legally, time has run out for those women to bring charges. all except andrea constand. she met bill cosby at his mansion in pennsylvania to discuss her career in 200a. there, she alleges he drugged ang molested her while she was unconscious. it looked like bill cosby was in the clear after he settled a civil suit brought by andrea constand, but after his testimony from the testimony from that case was made public, prosecutors now armed with that new evidence, reopened the decade—old criminal case. in it, he admitted to giving women drugs before sex, claiming it was done with their knowledge. in court, prosecutors used that testimony to portray mr cosby as a predator. they allege that he drugged miss constand so that she couldn't say no to his sexual advances.

but mr cosby‘s lawyer claimed that she changed her story to investigators three times and that the relationship was consensual. lili bernard, like andrea constand, thought of bill cosby as a mentor. even appearing on his show. call you every eight minutes. but she alleges that he drugged and sexually assaulted her on three occasions in the early 1990s. speaking alongside her son, she shared her hopes for the trial. i hope that this trial will reveal to the world that bill cosby is a lying coward, that he is a master manipulator who has methodically, over the course of five decades, inflicted sexual violence upon women. in the court of public opinion, bill cosby‘s legacy is perhaps irreparably damaged. and if found guilty by a jury, this legendary entertainer could spend up to a decade in prison.
