lost their lives. the attack confounded security services. who was the perpetrator? did he work alone? tonight, and extended newsnight investigation brings significant new information on how he was radicalised and why he acted when he did. what is your next move against russia? the prime minister is about to tell us, and she will not be holding back. eu leaders will be warned by the prime minister they are all threatened by russia, but will they listen? also tonight, a status update from mark zuckerberg on the data breach of facebook. we will ask if the social media giant is doing enough to salvage its reputation. good evening. today, the lives of

those who died will be remembered at a memorial service. the man behind the attack was out to hit the seat of british democracy, driving a vehicle into pedestrians on a bridge before attempting to enter parliament itself. but he did not fit the typical profile. we were told he acted alone and police were baffled by his motivation. tonight, we look at who he was and why he was radicalised. we have worked on this report which contains images of the attack some may find distressing. london under 22nd of march last year. the attack floors the accelerator, mounting the pavement of westminster bridge. watch the

highlighted circle. the car was his murder weapon. this was not a random attack. it was an individual who had beenin attack. it was an individual who had been in extremists for many years and whose behaviour was like many extremists we have seen. minutes later, he sent a document to his whatsapp group justifying his attackers. it was called retaliation. three people were killed outright on the bridge. one died later in hospital. newsnight has learned it could have been even worse. security sources have told newsnight these barriers saved 25— 30 lives on the day of the attack, and that is because masoud's car was

forced onto the road. he drove along here and cut back into the pavement, crashing the car on the left over there. my god. seconds later, he jumped out of his car, ran down here through a barrier to the palace of westminster, starting pc keith palmer. a plainclothes protection officer shot him dead. but pc keith palmer was mortally wounded. there was a lot of blood loss. we had a pulse at that point which i was pleased about. i thought we could absolutely keep him alive. tobias ellwood mp, seen here nearly next to him, used his army medical training. chest compression is, mouth—to—mouth resuscitation, a desperate effort to keep him alive. —— compressions. eventually doctors said ok we have to call it. i remember looking at him and saying you will have to tell

me to stop because i will keep doing this. hejust said me to stop because i will keep doing this. he just said you me to stop because i will keep doing this. hejust said you have me to stop because i will keep doing this. he just said you have done your best, we all have, i will call the time of death. i do recall the silence. the doctors and all thematics, the entire team, they moved away with all of their recruitment. —— the medics. i was left with the original policemen, their colleague. —— their equipment. i could hear the trees and the leaves and sounds you are not familiar with at all. not a single movement of traffic, not a horn, no speaking, no shouts. nothing whatsoever. to be in front of his body with everyone else dispersing, it was up to us, in a dignified way, to cover the body up, and then wait for the forensics team, it was now a

murder scene. from here? he had murdered five people in an attack lasting 90 seconds, the first of a series of terrorist attacks killing 36 people last spring. a year later, approaching the anniversary of the attacks, newsnight has been investigating masoud and his connections to uk extremists, searching for clues that might help explain his murderous rampage. we have significant new information. there is a widely held belief this was the work of one crazed individual, a so—called lone actor. while it is true he was not part of a terrorist cell, he had contact with extremists and terrorists over the past 13 years. we started by looking at his links to drugs and violent crime. in eastbourne where he lived, we were told he was using

crack cocaine in the 90s. he was dealing drugs and could be extremely violent. he was already convicted of stabbing a man in the face in 2000 in east sussex, and later in another attack, just out of prison, he stabbed his friend. full on punched me in stabbed me straight in the face. ——. he put me on the floor. he was trying to stab me on the back when i got up. most islamic extremists we have come across in the last 5— io extremists we have come across in the last 5— 10 years have had a history of criminality, most are criminals, and many have a history of violence as well, violent commonality. masoud, then adrian, converted to islam in prison. he lived in a few places which were extremist hotspots in the uk. they we re extremist hotspots in the uk. they were all strongholds of the islamist

group investigated for 20 years, al—muhajiroun. group investigated for 20 years, al-muhajiroun. it is a prescribed terrorist organisation in this country, taking root in certain committees. he was moving from one area to another where there was activity from them. it was in crawley in 2004 when he came on the security services' radar for the first time. the town was at the centre of a plot using fertiliser stored here to make home—made bombs to blow up pubs and bars in the south—east. his contact number was in the list of someone mi5 was investigating, but he was on the periphery and was not investigated. does a detailing the public record provide a clue to his islamist mindset back then? he married his second wife in 2004 at this register office in midway in kent. i have the

register here and it is interesting. the marriage took place on the anniversary of the 911 attacks on new york, the 11th of september, 2004. we asked a formerjihadist who infiltrated al qaeda who spied on the group for the secret intelligence service, mi6, of britain, what he made of the choice of the date? well, i mean, that is rather shocking, and most likely speaks volumes of how he viewed that particular anniversary. so, most likely, he thought it was a joyous day. he is not the only one, u nfortu nately day. he is not the only one, unfortunately there are legions of people who believe it was a joyous day. from 2005 - 2009, he spent time in saudi arabia teaching english, first in yambu, then at the

government's aviation school in jeddah. he knows some of his stu d e nts jeddah. he knows some of his students from those days. they are in our profession is in the aviation industry in saudi arabia, some of them. they describe someone who was more on the path of radicalism, in a sense. he was serious. more on the path of radicalism, in a sense. he was serious. he was not someone who described the society as a true islamic society. he would say there are many things that were wrong, especially the path they are taking in terms of modernity. when he was living injeddah, british intelligence suspected masood was helping extremists join al-qaeda in the federally administered tribal areas of pakistan. in london, mi5 later assessed masood had been misidentified, they'd got the wrong man. meanwhile, in saudi, his students saw a man who was ultraconservative. they were worried, basically, that he was really more conservative muslim than saudi conservatives themselves! there was no doubt that he was a salafist. but he went even beyond that.

on his return to the uk, new moved to luton. he taught english at the private language school, here at the britannia centre. at the time it was owned and run by trustees of the luton islamic centre mosque. part—time teacher, would come there, would disappear, pleasant person to talk to. luton islamic centre follows fundamentalist salafist teachings and so did khalid masood. but the imam has had street confrontations with al—muhajiroun the town, and has said that if the lead masuda had shown any signs of supporting the group he would have

into means that he would have intervened. if he had the slightest indication that he was adopting radical beliefs, we would deal with it on the spot, we would not give it the opportunity to fester grow. did luton or the mosque or the organisation have anything to do with his radicalisation? absolutely not, absolutely not, if you look at where we come from, and you study luton islamic state, we are the forefront of refuting extremism. but security sources have told newsnight that masood was associating with extremists in luton, once again he was picked up on mis‘s radar because he was in contact with these men, convicted of plotting a terror attack on a territorial army base the town. khalid masood lived a few streets away from the plotters, at this point, mi5 still classified him as a subject of interest, but his file was closed in october, 2012, occurs there was no evidence that he

posed a direct threat the uk. he was coming in and out of, if you like, the surveillance at the time. it would not mean that he was caught, and that he was plotting as such, but he may well have had awareness of those who were plotting. he would be cognisant of what was being planned and talked about. he was well—known, but prior to westminster, he had never been a central figure in the conspiracy

to carry out a terrorist attack. shouting between 2012 and 2016, masood was in contact with al—muhajiroun supporters who were being actively investigated by m15. he expressed support for 9/11. m15 has said that neither of those facts warranted reopening the investigation into him. in 2016, he was living in birmingham, with his third wife. masood is believed to have been running a private tutoring business here. he joined an established salafist community but was already planning his next move, this time, overseas, to saudi arabia. in may, 2016, we understand that he was stopped from travelling tojeddah, to start a newjob, could this have been the trigger for the attack? is this why he called his farewell document retaliation? new research suggests denial of travel can be a key risk factor for terror attacks. he was in touch with

a transportation company, injeddah, in saudi arabia, which specialises in transporting pilgrims who are visiting mecca, medina, the holy cities. why did the saudi authorities refused his work visa? we understand... the understanding, based on the confidential source from saudi arabia, the understanding is that his name was on a list provided, without saying who provided the list, but it was provided to them. by british intelligence, i would imagine? most likely, most likely it was provided by the authorities here. a key question, then, for the police and m15, was saudi arabia his end destination or did masood have an ambition to go to a jihadist theatre of war? counterterrorism sources say they found no evidence that he was trying to fight in syria but he had been linked to people trying to get to the afghan border, in the past. if he was going to be more less in the service of pilgrims, coming into mecca and medina, that is not extremism. if he was using that as a pretext to go into syria, then yes, that was extreme. that as a pretext, that was extreme.

his visa was refused, could that be significant? i think it could be significant, like many of his kind, like many islamist extremists, at some stage, they often have an aspiration to travel to one of the theatres of, wherejihadism is going on, whether that be in afghanistan, pakistan, in the early 2000s, or laterly, islamic state, syria and iraq, it looks on the face of it that that could have been the trigger. if something is put in the way of the aspiration go overseas, then they decide to carry out an attack here. research carried out by canada's secret service, csis, after two attacks there, lends weight to this theory. 100,000 intelligence reports were analysed,

looking for factors that turn ideological extremists into violent attackers, it is called mobilisation to violence. i'm proud to say that our work has been ground—breaking. we have some fantastic analysts that have been inspired by the fact we had two attacks in canada. we never had attacks like that before and they wanted to make sure that we were being as effective as possible, it was their contribution to it. in october 2014, a man deliberately mowed down soldiers in quebec. one was killed. he'd had his passport seized three months before the attack. he was denied travel. there can be a variety of factors that lead them to switch paths, but it is a fluid process that we see in switching back and forth. it's not a surprise that we would see them go from a denial of travel, where travel was the objective, to subsequently plotting an attack. this was so—called islamic state's chief propagandist.

he released a video in 2014, telling his supporters explicitly that if you can't get to the caliphate, then attack at home with knives and cars. that's what masood did. from his family home in this well—kept suburban estate in birmingham, he started downloading extremist material in 2016, searching so—called islamic state and planning to travel. it's now believed he started to plan the westminster bridge attack from here. in the months before the attack, he told his family he was planning to move abroad for a second time. newsnight understands that the police investigation after the attack found he was on the verge of travelling overseas with another man. we don't know to where. i also understand that the police investigation suspected masood was radicalising a third man by giving him religious instruction.

it seems he was making final preparations for the attack and in december 2016, moved into this small bedsit in hackney road, central birmingham. we spoke to a former flatmate. he was a different person, i can see that, because of his clothing, his beard, his style was different. he was wearing always, a cloth that is just one piece from his shoulders to his feet. but i wasn't scared of him. you weren't scared? no, because as i say, he was very calm. as i say, he was very calm. he was minding his own business, and my expression was... sorry, my impression of him was he was more like a spiritual guide.

on the 22nd of march, he thought khalid masood was in his room when the police raided hours after the attack. i saw a couple of police cars. i went to the stairs and i saw fully armoured police offers. how many, roughly? just on the stairs, there were four or five of them. with body armour, guns? fully equipped, with all the body armours, and with machine guns, with the green lasers pointing at me. it was like i was in a movie. it must‘ve been a massive shock? yes, yes, i was in shock when i found out the guy living next to me murdered innocent people. the police and m15 were racing

to find out if masood was part of a wider cell, or if he'd acted alone. 12 people were arrested. they were all later released without charge. ultimately, the police and m15 concluded that masood acted alone, but this was not a random attack by any means. newsnight has charted his long—standing connections to extremism. what triggered him to strike at westminster bridge? did he blame the british state for disrupting his travel plans? it's hard to get inside the head of such a violent and volatile man, and counterterrorism experts argue his precise motivations died with him. richard watson reporting there. "we have a responsibility to protect your data", mark zuckerberg shared in an update this evening. "and if we can't, then we don't deserve to serve you.

the good news is that the most important actions to prevent this from happening again today we have already taken years ago. but we also made mistakes, there's more to do, and we need to step up and do it". his chief operating officer at facebook added her own statement. "i deeply regret we didn't do enough", said sheryl sandberg. so tonight, we ask how much is enough — and what facebook knew about what it had got wrong. dipayan ghosh worked for facebook in the privacy and public policy team. he's now a fellow at the harvard kennedy school of government. eileen burbidge is the partner at passion capital, early stage tech, who previously worked at apple. it's lovely to have you both. your scale of, your assessment of the scale of the problems now at facebook and whether tonight's apology mitigates at all? it's a tremendous scale, this issue.

this is a matter that is beyond just user privacy. obviously, 50 million people's data, or over that, was breached, in a sense, and this is a massive user privacy issue. it is also a major issue for the national security, and for the integrity of democratic institutions around the world. so tremendous scale. when you worked at facebook in the private policy, how important did it feel that that was to them? it's hugely important for the company. privacy is the bread—and—butter for the company, and if it gets privacy wrong, its stock price drops. that is there is a direct correlation there, as we have seen. it's the company's responsibility to protect user privacy. in this case, there were certain breaches and i think the company needs to assess what has happened

and try to take positive action going forward. do you understand how they let it happen? if it's as important as you say, how did they allow an academic to download those apps without any checks and balances to see how widely they were being shared? well, i think this is a very difficult situation, because academics are always clamouring to get access to the data that tech companies hold. facebook‘s data is, of course, extremely valuable for academic study and to the extent the company can be transparent about it, it is a net positive for society. in this case, the academic, kogan, clearly breached his policy with the company and that is a tremendously egregious action. that is what has been reported, at least. so who do you think made the biggest

breach of trust in all of this? who has let down who the most? well, i think that what we have do remember here is that facebook operates no differently from any other major internet company, google, twitter, snapchat. the entire industry operates on the premise that we collect a lot of data, we're going to try and monetise that in the digital advertising ecosystem. so, i don't see the practices of this particular company is any different to any other. i think what we really need to try to understand is the checks and balances that companies like facebook place on academics and other third parties they share data with, as well as the way that these companies enforce the agreement they have set with third parties that receive data.

which, of course in this case, we have seen harms to the public. you don't think in future they will collect less data, do you? well, i think that remains to be seen. i think a lot of this is going to depend on the way that washington, dc and the rest of the regulatory community around the world starts thinking about this burgeoning industry. there may be checks placed on the way that these kinds of companies, like facebook, can collect data, which may or may not have positive effect for consumers at the end of the day. just stay there for a second if you can. alexander nix told me on monday, he was the boss of cambridge analytica of course, that he felt the media had been out to get it. one of the questions we just do not know is how helpful facebook word

to the donald trump campaign and whether there would have been the same interest if hillary clinton had won. i think that is really difficult to say but i suspect other parties would be complaining if it had been the other way, but i do think there are a number of issues that are being conflated, which makes this a situation which is not going away. i think there is one issue about facebook and about third parties that use its data and then violate its terms of services. there's another issue about facebook's lack of disclosure and lack of transparency about when those violations happened, and how it behaves in response to that. then there's another issue yet about what's being done with that data. so i don't think there would be quite so much backlash if it turned out to be a clothing retailer who had used data servicing adverts for women's shoes or men's hats.

this is the question, if we know our data is being used and shared, do we mind? is it about the transparency more than anything is? for me, i think it's all about the transparency, disclosure. even things that have come out that maybe facebook tried to suppress the news about this, tried to deny... i think they played this badly and reacted very poorly. they probably felt they had a defensive position because they had changed their terms of services in 2014, since all this happened, they thought we know how to manage this. i think that response is what was poor. i want to bring up the front of tomorrow's times, which has a story saying advertisers are threatening to pull out of facebook. even talk of putting it on an unethical investment list, which clearly would be a major blow to a company that thought it was all about sharing the good. do you think they will or is this just a threat? i think it's being considered and it's a viable threat. my prediction is that it wouldn't come to that. i think facebook will continue

to insist it is a platform, as was said earlier, it does need to monitor and make sure that people are adhering to its terms of service, and terms and conditions. i think advertisers and even investors just want to see facebook leadership leading from the front, and being more transparent and more genuine and sincere about that. facebook is the name, the giant, but this is an industrywide problem, as far as we can say, isn't it? yes, and that is what he was saying earlier, this is notjust facebook. every technology company uses big data and that is one of the promises of technologies, that you can have bespoke. custom tailored solutions. i know you are not and might as any kind of facebook spokesman. you left the company and i'm wondering why, was it a sense of discomfort with what they did? well, my career is varied. for

facebook, i was in the obama white house, working on privacy and policy issues and long story short, i wa nted issues and long story short, i wanted to try to halve an impact in public policy making and so, and doing what i'm doing now to try to think about how this industry can reshape itself and mould into a space that can limit the negative externalities that we are seeing from political information, to foreign interference in elections, to hate speech, to all of the... it isa to hate speech, to all of the... it is a very delicate phrase, is that where we are, do you think it can come back now? absolutely. where we are, do you think it can come back now? absolutelylj where we are, do you think it can come back now? absolutely. i think it is going to come back. all of this is unintentional. there are certain consequences that come about

asa certain consequences that come about as a result of having market consequence. as a result of having market consequence. it is well intended, he wants to see the platform boosted for good, wants to remain somewhat neutral and wants to have a framework that can support the monetary policing of that, but in a sort of altruistic, beneficial way. ido sort of altruistic, beneficial way. i do not think that is the intention, i do not think started the company thinking this can be used as a tool for nefarious purposes. the war of words between russia and the uk is at boiling point this evening, as the foreign secretary compared the likened russia's use of the forthcoming world cup to hitler's use of the 1936 olympics. tomorrow's european summit was meant to be dominated by brexit but the prime minister has other ideas. our political editor nick watt is here. has the foreign secretary helped or hindered? as the biographer of winston churchill, boris johnson will understand the acute sensitivities of drawing parallels between nazi germany and russia,

to be fair, needed not draw and sacked parallel, but in answer to a question from the former labour minister, ian austin, the foreign secretary said that it was certainly right. he said it is right to say that they will promote russian interests at the world cup, anti—competitive way that adolf hitler did that in the 1936 berlin olympics. russia has said borisjohnson is poisoned with hate. the danger is that he strengthens the hand of eu countries who believe that britain has overrea cted to the

attack in salisbury, and there will be in intervention at the summit tomorrow, and she is essentially going to reflect the uk view that russia is now a strategic enemy, and not a strategic partner of the european union. she is going to say that the salisbury attack was an attended murder, using an illegal chemical weapon, indiscriminate and it was reckless. and she will say that this was a challenge from russia that is going to india for years, and as one number ten russia that is going to endure for years, and as one number ten official has said, the russian threat now does not respect borders and as such we are all at risk. is she actually making a call to arms, is there an action she wants to see? prime minister will tell eu leaders that by expelling 23 undeclared russian intelligence officers, the uk has dismantled the russian espionage network, in the uk, and she will essentially say it could be you next, she will say, to the 27 leaders, this was the first use of chemical weapons on european soil since the second world war. and there is a feeling in whitehall that the prime minister

will use this to move up to the next step, move up to a multilateral level, and essentially indicate to eu leaders, maybe you want to follow our example, in basically expelling spies from your country. important to say, in whitehall, they are saying, this is not a big confrontation with russia, we are not looking at regime change. thank you very much. being an ex—prime minister, finland's alexander stubb told me, is the bestjob in the world. he gives few interviews at home, because every intervention he says, seems like criticism of the current administration. he calls himself an anglophile, indeed his wife is british, and always forged a strong alliance between finland and britain within the eu. ahead of the european summit tomorrow, i sat down with him this afternoon to talk about brexit, loyalty, and whether it was right for the eu commission president to congratulate president putin. i began by asking whether he agreed

with jacob rees—mogg who told me on monday that as far as the withdrawal treaty went, the government had rolled over, without even getting its tummy tickled. i disagree. i actually think the negotiations are going quite well for both sides. usually in the eu, you have three faces: crisis, chaos, and sub—optimal solution. we've had the crisis, when brexit basically happened, the vote took place, but i think that negotiations have been very smooth and i think there are two reasons for it — one is called michel barnier and the other is called david davis. so i'm quite optimistic. you don't see a problem with the irish border? well, i see a problem with brexit and irish border is a symptom of it, but if you look at the whole package, they have a financial settlement, which was the 7th of december, so everyone knows what the bill is going to be like. they have a transition deal,

everyone knows for how long the uk will be in after it's out. i'm going to bring you back to the border... on the irish border, that is basically the symbol of the problem, because if you're not part of a customs union, if you're not part of the single market, someone has to try and square the circle, and the way in which they've done it in the negotiations so far is to say there are three options: one, put as part of a big deal. two, do some technological stuff and three, have a backstop, and they still have to negotiate and work on that. can it be solved? oof, i don't know. i've been in eu negotiations for the better part of 20 years. everything is solvable. you always find a solution at the end of the day. whether it's going to be a solution that the eu likes or the uk likes, i don't know, but i think it's very, very important to protect the integrity of the single market and make sure that there's no hard border. is there any solution that is obvious to you? well, the obvious solution is to start thinking along these lines of, you know, customs union or some form of a customs union. the obvious thinking is to start

using modern technology, and that will be the final deal. they've said that can take a decade, right? it can take a long time but i don't know how long. to a certain extent, you could also say that the negotiations on ireland are the pretext also for the future relationship of the uk. i personally think, as an anglophile, married to a brit and children with dual—nationality, that it's very important that the uk has a special place in or out from the european union in the future. would you see financial services being included in a trade deal? philip hammond has spoken of the dangers of fragmenting the market in the city of london. he said it doesn't go to europe, if you try and punish britain, itjust goes to hong kong or singapore. so isn't it important that financial services is part of that? i think philip hammond has been one of the voices of reason in this whole debate. i look at financial services as obviously part of one of the four freedoms, if you will. the free movement of money, to a certain extent, and i agree that financial services

in europe should not be fragmented, but having said that, and as a banker nowadays, i also fully understand. that if you don't have passporting rights, there is going to be movement of financial services elsewhere. financial services are not going to escape london, but they will be more centralised on the continent proper. you've called yourself an anglophile personally. yeah. there's probably been no closer friend to britain, within the eu, than finland to the uk. do you feel now that those royalties are torn? is it more important to you to see the uk flourish or to see the eu flourish without us? well... obviously, first and foremost, i'm a finn, secondly i'm an european, and thirdly i'm married to a brit and an anglophile. so the wife comes third! no, wife comes number one because she's also a finnish national nowadays! no, but the bottom line is that obviously for me brexit is sad and i still, and i say this with a sunken heart, that it's a lose—lose proposition, but at the same time i'm a pragmatic finn, so we had to make the best of it. so i belong to the camp who is trying to help the uk to alleviate the pain, at the same time, get a good deal for the european union.

and then whatever happens in domestic politics in the uk, that's something that is completely out of our or my reach. i want to turn to the words ofjean—claude juncker today. he congratulated putin on his win. broke with the protocol of a lot of western leaders. was it a mistake? it's not myjob as former prime minister, vice president of the european investment bank, to give advice to jean—claude juncker. every institution and, actually, every state, takes that decision, and i do understand the sensitivities on a lot of players in this game. would you have said that if you had been in his role? well, it's a hypothetical question, isn't it... come on. ..because i'm not. i try to be diplomatic and discreet. he congratulated president putin. he said, "congratulations on your re—election, president putin". i think there are a lot of european leaders and others as well who have congratulated, and it is part of protocol. there is no denying that. obviously, was it my choice? and remember, finland has 1300 kilometres of border with russia. i would like to see a more open,

more international, more transparent russia than what we have today. when you add those together, we have seen incursions; we've seen cyber incursions, we've seen electoral meddling. do you worry about the country on your doorstep? of course i worry, and i think that nowadays, actually, the line between war and peace is blurred. we see cyber attacks, we see usage of chemical weapons or nerve gases, we see media manipulation... you're talking about salisbury? yes. we're seeing different types of things happen all over the place, and i think we have to sort of put a foot down and start discussing these things and try to make them unavoidable in the future. alexander stubb, thank you. thanks. the front pages of the newspapers before we go, the daily telegraph
