weren't random, selected vehicles weren't random, selected for their religion. the police, prime minister and mayor of london have gone out of their way to make clear they draw those restriction between the atrocities of islamist mad men and eight case like this, it wasn't just a hate mad men and eight case like this, it wasn'tjust a hate crime, it was also terrorism —— draw no restriction. it came after midnight in the mixed area of finsbury park ata time in the mixed area of finsbury park at a time when ramadan was over and people were helping an elderly man who had been taken ill on the pavement —— draw no distinction. john sweeney is there, what is the feeling? the feeling is not much calmer than it was earlier today when it was very feverish. all sorts of people and religions were here and they are doing an extraordinary effort. muslims, anglicans, jewish people, six, to get together to
11:16 pm
redefine the glow. —— sikhs. we have found out more about the attacker, he was a troubled man, his family said, but they had no idea he was racist and they've offered a big apology to the people who suffered in this attack. this was an attack practising his religion. it was solely targeted at muslims. as well as the pressure from the good people to say we are all one, the forces of extremism, almost seeking, you can feel it rip people apart. it feels as though you've got two sets of extremists feeding off each other, the far right and the islamist groups trying to tear society a summer. groups trying to tear society a summer. and the loser it feels
11:17 pm
tonight is common humanity. every terror attack is different, but the weapon of choice for all attacks in london in the past four months has been a vehicle. last night, the targets were muslims, who had just finished praying at finsbury park mosque. an elderly man had collapsed with a suspected heart attack. people were tending the sick man when they were hit by a van. the man died. it's not clear whether as a result of the van attack. 11 people were injured. this footage, shot on mobile phones, shows the attacker being taken away by the police. he was named tonight as darren osborne from cardiff, 47 years old. one of his neighbours told newsnight that osborne was an aggressive bully, feared by people who lived near him. as far as we can tell, he had no far right digital footprint. no known connection with far right groups and no trace that would have
11:18 pm
alerted security forces. he seems to have been, in other words, a clean skin. today at finsbury park, the atmosphere jumped around, sometimes sober, sometimes feverish. but one sign of hope — it feverish. but one sign of hope — it was the mosque's imam who saved the man's life. we surrounded him and protected him from any form. we stops all forms after tack and abuse towards him, that was coming from every angle. four terror attacks on the run have exhausted everyone, prime minister included. the terrible terrorist attack that took place last night was around evil act borne out of hatred, it has devastated a community. i'm pleased to have been here today to see the strength of that community coming together all faiths united in one desire to see extremism and hatred of all sorts driven out of our society. there is no place for this hatred
11:19 pm
in our country today. we need to work together as wurn society, as one community to drive it out this evil that is affecting so many families. so the prime minister has come to the mosque. she's list rned to people. she's listned to people. up get some indication of the anxiety of the government. they want to keep this community on—side and clearly, the prime minister's visit here today means the government is worried. anger at the government. anger too at the media. a lot of people now, with the recent attacks in london, london bridge, manchester attacks, any person with no intellect would read this think, oh, muslims, they're this, they're that. we have to fight back.
11:20 pm
we have to do this. but realistically speaking, this is the title the media has given it. like i mentioned to you, murder is not from our religion. any person who just reads this will think automatically related to muslims, they will do things which they believe is revenge, but realistically it's a radical action where they have no clue what it's about whatsoever. yeah, i do believe the media does play a big part. the official crime statistics haven't come in yet, but figures suggest after the manchester terror atrocity hate crimes against muslims spiked five fold. the highest ranking police officer in the country resigned last tuesday. i was on duty and led the response for the murder of lee rigby. at that time we had mosque attacks, three of which were burned down. very conscious of not having a replay when hate crime went up. it was very much in our strategy to be able to compound against that.
11:21 pm
in westminster we did that. in manchester it didn't quite work. by london bridge, i think, it overwhelmed us. it's not that we haven't had a focus or we haven't had plans, we have. when you have three on the trot, it's something different. the goal of these terror attacks starting with the killing ofjo cox last year and the three atrocities claimed by islamic state in the last four months, and now this one, is to sow division between communities. the danger is — it's beginning to feel as if they're succeeding. think about what far right or islamophobic terror and islamist terror have in common, on both sides there's a thought that muslims and there's a thought that muslims and the rest of us aren't only in com pletely the rest of us aren't only in completely different tribes but we are at war with each other. there's
11:22 pm
the possibility of factors both creeds may have certain mental health conditions, as some have put it loses, who put meaning into their lives via hate. but we've tended to be more preoccupied with islamist terror as the attacks that have come from the other direction. i'm joined byjournalist nesrine malik, william baldet, who works on the prevent programme for the home office, and darren carroll, who was an early member of the far—right english defence league, and now campaigns against racism and far—right extremism. very good evening to you all. does it feel different to you, this is, it's very unusual. this is targeted at one group. it's not a random attack which would take muslims and christians and anybody else, targeted at a group. it does feel different for a couple of reasons. one is that it's clearly targeted towards muslims. it's outside a mosque. it's during ramadan. it's unequivocally a hate crime against muslims. number two, i think because it's come on the back of a rising wave
11:23 pm
of anti—muslim attacks after manchester and london bridge etc, it seems like it's the culmination of an accelerating trend. do you think the islamic community is surprised, scared? i mean — i think, this has been, this is particularly strike, islamophobic attacks have been part and parcel of the life of the muslim community for a long time now, whether it's abuse against women who wear hijab. whether it's incidents where people walking back from mosques are attacked. give us an example of the sorts of things? i'm notts advisably muslim, i don't wear a hijab. when i move around outside a mosque it's not as obvious with someone with a face cover or a man in a sort of cloak and beard. it's about people who are obviously advisably muslim. visibly muslim. it's about people who are obviously visably muslim. or in communities where there is a big critical mass of muslims that
11:24 pm
are targeted and have been for a long time. darren, give us some insight into the mind set. you were an early member of edl. what was going on in your life that attracted you to a message of hate? well, at the time, in 2009, basically, i bought into the narrative of them and us. personally, i felt looking back respectively, disenfranchised. i didn't — i didn't realise it then, but looking back, from the path i'm on now, i was. i wasn't happy with local governance and there was... there were... it had a big muslim population and they had one or two more extreme elements there, is that right? it was quite divided and tribal? we were living our lives and the way we were living in luton wasn't being portrayed correctly i felt via the media or local newspapers. disenfranchised and kicked in basically. vauxhall had shut a few years before that. you don't use the word
11:25 pm
"radicalised" of yourself. did you meet people who were so hate filled they would commit violence? yeah, i was on demonstrations where people were actually you know really angry and not getting their words out they're that angry. they're trying to say two or three words in one go they're that angry. where that anger comes from, i can only say that they, they've bought into something. whether that comes from seeing on tv there, that the media probably played it up a bit. however, there was genuine concerns also. you know, jobs, apprenticeships, housing. life was a bit unfulfilled and so all this stuff — yeah.
11:26 pm
in terms of how many far right people, does prevent cover far right or is itjust about islamists? prevent has covered far right formally since 2011. as a practitioner working in it since 2008, we've tackled it from the early days. i've gone on record of talking about a young lad i worked with who was ten years old immersed in neo—nazi ideology by a family member that. came as a shock. in the early days of prevent it was around the al-qaeda narrative. idtiti—ea di ekueitii—sitl i an interesting thing is the case of some of these people who darren was talking to or having conversations with, what narrative can you draw between them and the islamist fan attics. if you take away the ideology of a young islamist and the far right extremist, the individual
11:27 pm
below is very similar, the same psychological fractures, the same social situations. they have gone for answers with the organisations. they present the world in binary terms, devicive. these are what the extremists are trying to do of both persuasions. we don't know whether darren osborne was involved in groups or had friends encouraging him. we know he was a7. that is... i mean that's not the kind of young hot head that you think of. in fact, khalid masood was 52. is something happening here on age? possibly. we are keen to tackle the entire age bracket. there was a lot done in colleges, trying to break down social stereotypes, particularly around islam and muslims. a lot of young people get their information from social
11:28 pm
media and the mainstream media, which can be culpable with painting negative stereotypes. we also work with people that are a lot older. we did some outreach around the far right specifically in prevent. we found a lot of younger people were quite well integrated let's talk a little bit about the media coverage. there was some anger today that we have drawn the comparison between these two types, but people say you just dismiss one lot as mental health problems and the other lot are organised terrorism? it's a very common response. there are two things, whenever there is an attack by a muslim, the media portrays it as a coordinated, coherent culpability on behalf of all muslims. that's not fair, nobody says it is all muslims,
11:29 pm
everybody is careful to make sure... i'm not saying everybody does that, i am saying there is a perception that happens. certain words are used, , community's response? that impression is also reinforced when the attacker is not muslim, the language is around the fact that he is a misfit, we heard that around the jo cox murder. there's lots of right wing tabloids
11:30 pm
saying that he had fears about losing his council house. trying to explain it? which is fine... but do it for both sides. it is an issue of individual disenfranchise. but it can't be for one and not the other. how did you get out of it? gradually is the answer. you end up not liking yourself and where you are. you have to fall back on... you go back to basics. that's what i did. i thought, who am i? i don't like myself. that's what i did, i fell back on my upbringing. i lost my parents when i was 13. i fell back on my mother's voice telling me, you're not this person. wag; gees: m5 esalflflfda'!5r m= gradually, is the answer. thank you all very much. we are four days short of the first anniversary
11:31 pm
of the brexit referendum. a lot has happened in that time — except any brexit negotiations. until today. we invoked article 50 at the end of march, so we know exactly when the talks end and when we are it's very sky news, this kind of thing, but it does make the point that a lot of work has to be done in relatively short time. today's talks started on some specifics of the divorce, like money. that is in itself interesting, because there was a time when the brits had wanted talks on trade to be conducted in parallel. with no sign of that today, we can take it as a small but there is lots to play for.
11:32 pm
mark urban is in brussels for us. did they actually negotiate a day, or was this really just a formality, a formal start? i think they did. i think, really, what we have learned is a turn—off the notch, as it were, on the positioning and sequencing of this bigger negotiation. we have learned a bit more. we know the eu was prioritising the future status of citizens in the uk. that is number one. number two is the budget question. only after substantial process has been agreed, and we have confirmed that progress will be a judgment by the member governments, through donald tusk, the president of the council. they will make a judgment as to whether these broader issues can then be discussed, or discussion can begin on those. then there is the question of the irish border. what will the arrangements be? we thought that was on an equal level with the money, 5555555515 i: 5575 ?:5 55555555 in its very broadest sense,
11:33 pm
begins to come under discussion. what we have seen, because we have seen different drafts of these eu negotiating guidelines in recent months, is the eu position being carried forward very hard to make the same comparison for the uk position, because it has been kept under wraps, largely. we get the sense that the uk is going to try to take the initiative on citizens in one another‘s countries issue, the key one come on thursday, when theresa may comes to brussels. that they will put forward their position, but all the time everyone here is aware of the tenuous state now of theresa may's government following the election. all ef this ceuld gems gee-“gr ~ ~ ~ , at politically back home because of the state of the uk government. but here they have been
11:34 pm
trumped by politics. today's eu watchword is transparency. that means, amongst other things, being clear about your negotiating a fair deal is possible, and far better than no deal. that is what i said to david today. that is why we will work all the time, with the uk, majority has awakened fears that a complete failure to reach agreement is looking more likely, with everything that might involve. sophie is a senior brexit negotiator for the european parliament.
11:35 pm
i know that some people claim that no deal is better than a bad deal, and that sounds really tough. but if you think of the consequences, what no deal would mean, legally speaking it —— crystal clear. from midnight, the 29th of march, 2019, britain is no longer a member. from one moment to the next, there will be chaos. no deal means chaos. brussels is notoriously leaky. that is another reason to emphasise transparency. the european parliament, as well as 27 government is being updated regularly, means nothing will stay secret for long. some here see risks in that, also. it can also backfire, if! 555 55fi55 725355 55531555 " ' " ' t theresa may, she has
11:36 pm
been dramatically weakened by the election. but i would advise to the 27 not to try to take too much advantage of that. again, that may backfire. a diplomatic mountain must now be scaled. the two chief negotiators are meeting for the first formal talks today to settle the order in which shoes will be tackled, exchanged suitably alpine gifts. today, it is clear that the sequencing is very much the way the eu wanted it, which inevitably puts questions to david davis. it's not how it starts, it is how it finishes. the uk has been crystal clear about our approach to negotiations. the withdrawal process cannot be concluded without the future relationship also been ta ken into account. nothing is agreed until everything is agreed. the negotiators shared a convivial lunch and their personal rapport seems real enough.
11:37 pm
but diplomats must fear that today marks the beginning of their minister being judged by a press and parliament keen to find, in each course of negotiations, the bitter taste of a promise broken or a commitment rashly made. those chief negotiators emphasise their commitment today to maximum transparency. the difference, you might argue, is that michel barnier actually means it. talk to people in the commission and you will hear those who argue that the more britain learns about the daily detail of these negotiations, the harder it will be for theresa may to keep her querulous party together and behind the brexit plan. does transparency make it harder for a british government to manage the message on brexit? well, you know, that is one way of looking at it. the uk and eu are not adversaries.
11:38 pm
we are not negotiating against each other. there has to be a win—win outcome. there cannot be different messages. i do think that transparency is going to help create the trust that we need, both in the uk and in the other eu countries for people to support the process. for months, eu leaders have been asking london to say what it wants from brexit. that is now well under way. but many here now wonder whether the uk government can stick to its platform. we did want to speak to a government minister on the approach to brexit negotiations, but none was available. but then some of them have only been in a job for a week. however, with a hung parliament, labour's position could be quite important in the next two years if it's clear. earlier, i spoke to the shadow
11:39 pm
brexit secretary, sir keir starmer. i began by asking him whether it was a negotiation or a dictation. well, it's a negotiation, but we got off to the worst possible starts, because the prime minister called an election that she didn't need to call. it's not clear what her mandate is and she's lost authority abroad. now, all of us want these talks to succeed because we need a good dealfor britain that is going to last for generations. we've got off to the worst possible start, i'm afraid. well, let's talk about the outcome. customs union, you've been a little equivocal on the customs union. but i think if i reduce your position to the clearest, and what would make sense from your point of view, you would start out by saying yes, let's go into the customs union if they'll have us, even if that means we can't make free trade deals with other countries independently? well, let me try and answer that. but it is important to focus on outcomes and not the model.
11:40 pm
that's really important, because we're starting negotiations and the question that's before everybody is what is it that we want to achieve? what is the outcome that we want? the vehicle, or the model, is secondary to that. we've been clear that it's tariff—free access to the single market, it's no new customs impediments and it's something that works for services. but, interestingly, that is a thing that everybody agrees on. the eu will then have its priorities. i think its priorities are likely to be how do we guarantee or ensure thatthe'uk'wagldn‘t‘be—a'btg d , - 1|——1:.5—;,..!.j»w,, 5 55. so that goes on the table and we have to negotiate. i can't understand why you can't make your mind on the customs union. it's a very simple one, you stay in the customs union, probably, but you give up your right to free trade deals. you're in favour of that or you're not, it's quite binary. let me take that head on.
11:41 pm
as far as the customs union is concerned, the question whether it's better to be in or out can only be determined further down the line, because you need to know first what's the deal you've done on the single market. does it, the end of the exercise, make more sense to stay in or stay out? there are advantages of being out, there are advantages, significant advantages, of being in. so, that's why we say leave it on the table. there are advantages, it solves a lot of real difficulties. of course it means you can't strike free trade agreements. and you're happy not to be able to? but, and it's important to see this through, everybody wants a clipped answer. these are complex negotiations. but if you stay in, you could take the benefit of those trade deals that the eu is striking, and which we could strike with them. but there's an element of fudge in the labour position. it's not fudging. it's probably designed to hold together a broad coalition of many blue—collar workers who voted brexit, many metropolitan liberals who voted remain, and you're trying to effectively be all things to everybody. by not quite saying... by not making an argument? we should be in the customs union, because that's going to help car
11:42 pm
producers, it's going to mean no border in northern ireland and southern ireland. there are those huge advantages. well why don't you just make the case and say, why don't we just go in and make that the objective? because until you're further into negotiations, it's not entirely clear whether it's the right option or the wrong option. i think it's the right option. i think we should have it on the table and there are real advantages of staying in. but to suggest this is just a politicalfudge is wrong. let's talk about the migration issue, because there is one option that would probably cut through a lot of negotiation. i think everybody agrees that complete free movement is not going to happen. you're not in favour of that, nor are the conservatives. but there's a kind of watered—down version of free movement, free movement of labour. if you have a job, you can come here. but you can'tjust come here and live here without any work to do. are you attracted to that? because they may be quite attracted to that, the eu. i am attracted to that. we'd have to work out
11:43 pm
what that looked like. but with freedom of movement, immigration, it's important to strip out... obviously refugees we have obligations to, students should not be in the numbers. that leaves you families and people that want to come to work. i think that we could strike a model that deals with people who want to come to work. because, whatever the outcome, it's got to work for the economy and for our communities. we don't want arbitrary caps on migration that would crash the economy. you see, i think you've got a quite clear position. well, thank you very much. but you sure as hell don't make it sound clear. thank you for giving me this opportunity. you should go in and say free movement of labour, in the customs union, we won't strike deals with america and india. that's our position. it will save us a lot of time in this negotiation, it solves northern ireland, we'll recognise the citizens. incidentally, you'd accept ecj, the european court having jurisdiction over various issues as well, so that cuts through a lot of other things. just to be clear on that, we said that there has to be some dispute resolution mechanism, a court—like body. that's a big hole in
11:44 pm
theresa may's plans. so you'd accept ecj? well, not necessarily the ecj. i think there is discussion to be had about what that looks like and what the role of british judges are on it. keir starmer, thank you very much. thank you. desperate to get the clarity there, even if it means my summarising what he's saying. day one of the negotiation is done. let's take stock with our political editor, nick watt. everybody is asking, is theresa may's weakened position going to affect this, is she even going to make the running for the 18 months of negotiation. what's the thinking? the numbers in parliament have moved in a mildly soft brexit direction. the prime minister is weakened after that general election result. i have to say, i do not detect a love for theresa may in the tory party. cabinet ministers are saying they think she's had a loss of nerve over the election setback and also over her response to the tower fire. one cabinet minister, who's a loyalist said to me,
11:45 pm
"she can stay, if she wants to." i sense that some grandees are warming up to say to theresa may, have your queen's speech on wednesday, get the vote through next week, then maybe you should think about going, because if you don't, you will face a veil of tears although it is important to say that the leading brexiteers are determined to save her. interestingly, the prime minister is responding to these concerns, i'm told, that intriguingly, she's been distancing herself from her controversial formerjoint chiefs of staff who were criticised for being uncollegiate. i'm told that she's been saying to ministers that she didn't know the extent of their activities that alienated so many people. as for how long she wants to stay, i'm told she believes it's her duty to stay and her definitive view is — she wants to stay for the entirety of the article 50 talks which means at least, as you were saying earlier, until the end of march 2019. thanks.
11:46 pm
the death toll from the grenfell tower fire rose again today. a total of 79 people are now either dead or missing, presumed dead, police have said. the victims of the fire were remembered this morning with a minute's silence. the job of investigating what the exact cause was goes on but, six days on from the fire, the department for communities and local government has written to local council and housing association chief executives in england requiring them to look at their tall buildings. our investigations man phil kemp has been researching the tower fire and the issue of cladding for us, and is here now. phil, just tell us about this letter
11:47 pm
and the debate over cladding? the investigations are continuing as to the precise cause. it seems to the department for communities and local government isn't taking any chances. i've got a copy of an e—mail that the most senior civil serve abt at dclg sent to the chief executives of all local authorities and housing associations in england with instructions to check the cladding on any high—rise social housing that they're responsible for. specifically, what they're being asked to look for is the type of cladding that we revealed last week was used on the grenfell tower refurbishment. now what this letter says is that if any local authorities or housing associations identify that type of cladding, even if they're not sure exactly what it's made of or what's in it, they have to send it away for testing at the government's expense. it doesn't go on to say what happens next, but you can imagine that if the wrong sort of cladding is identified, that it's going to have to come down. wow.
11:48 pm
i mean one of the big issues and it's been amazing it hasn't been resolved is this cladding compliant with the regulations? philip hammond said he didn't think it was allowed. what is the truth? it's a matter of sow man ticks. it's a matter of semantics. it's not banned for taller buildings. there are strict rules around its use. if you want to use flammable type of cladding on a high—rise building in england, you would need to show it had passed a special bespoke test involving the entire wall system and an expert that we spoke to said that this type of cladding was unlikely to pass that test. for all practical purposes, this type of cladding is banned for tall buildings in england. that's what this letter is about, to decide how widespread the use of this material.
11:49 pm
a lot has happened recently to suggest we are living through turbulent times. brexit and politics are one thing, repeated terror attacks and grenfell tower are another. so on a day that has seen a deliberate attack on muslims outside a mosque, we thought you might be interested — even uplifted — to see what goes on behind the scenes in the event of such an incident. the television production company label one make the bbc two documentary series hospital, and they were filming in st mary's hospital in london on the day of the westminster bridge attack back in march. their cameras were there, as those dreadful events unfolded. the full documentary is on bbc two tomorrow, but we have a few minutes of it now, showing how that one hospital reacted to a major incident nearby. good afternoon, ladies and gentleman, we're here to review vacancies and retention. it would be nice to see some of the hard to recruits...
11:50 pm
we're on stand by for a major incident at westminster bridge? any detail? 15 potential casualties. do we know how many there are? no idea. they've given a standby with 15 accepting. reporter: there is a major police operation under way. crikey. st mary's hospital in paddington is one of four major trauma centres in london capable of dealing with mass casualties. how many casualties? three miles from westminster, it's the nearest to the scene of a suspected terror attack. every phone is ringing. hello? lesley is taking silver and judy taking bronze. during a major incident, the hospital follows 194—page set of protocols, standby means prepare to receive casualties. anybody else who was elected
11:51 pm
for today who hasn't gone knife to skin, they need to be sent home. we need a collation of a&e receiving spaces, trauma receiving spaces and a running collation of beds available now. it's12 minutes since the hospital was put on standby. off duty medical and nursing staff arrive to assist in a&e. the bleep goes off, your phone goes off and you come in. make sure we're all organised. everybody just be quiet in resus for the moment. this is a gunshot wound. the first person to arrive in a&e is the alleged attacker. we're going to transfer alongside
11:52 pm
11:53 pm
victims at the scene. patients are arriving. guys, patient's here. over there, please. thank you. the first victim to arrive at st mary's was a french schoolboy. on three: one, two, three. today was the last day of a school trip to london. we're going to get a collar on, log roll him, get him off the scoop, covered up, warm, fast scan, set of bloods and then the scanner. victor's school friend arrives in a&e. 18—year—old jan has lost a dangerous amount of blood
11:54 pm
from a severe scalp wound. we need porters by the lift. he's taken for immediate life—saving surgery. how are we doing sedation wise? what have we given him? 40 of ketamine. it's a0 minutes since victor arrived in a&e. his condition is now stable and does not require immediate surgery. they want to call his dad. we can get him to speak to his dad. ca va? on an average day, st mary's treats three major trauma patients.
11:55 pm
in the last 80 minutes, six have arrived from westminster. jan, the french teenager, has had his scalp successfully repaired. i can guarantee you the minute i get on the tube, the reality of this will start to hit home in that what we've got here are individuals whose lives have probably been massively altered by something totally unexpected. so as much of a shock that this was to us, can you — you can't even begin to imagine what it's like for these poor patients and their families. and you can see that documentary in full tomorrow at 9pm on bbc two. that's all we have time for.
11:56 pm
emily's here tomorrow. till then, goodnight. i've for one will be watching. good evening. today brought the warmest day thus far. i'll tell you how warm injusta day thus far. i'll tell you how warm injust a second day thus far. i'll tell you how warm in just a second but if we keep on knocking out these 30 degrees plus days, there's a bit of a clue, and you have that sequence to wednesday, that will be the longestjun hot speuin that will be the longestjun hot spell in 20 years because we've had five days with over 30 degrees. how hot was today? for met purposes we rounded up the 32.5 recorded at hampton water works no less and that made it a good deal hotter than
11:57 pm
