2:08 pm
widely shared online, in particular, in which she was talking about lgbt appalling events. could you talk us through why you felt inaudible. .. we carried out that search activity issues and rights. also, if a limb la st carried out that search activity which she made about her own last night because we believed that experience of coming out to her there were people in this city who, mother. those who knew her, over this weekend, were going to incredibly shocked at what happened. mount murderous attacks on the she wouldn't have been critically known as a general that covered the police, and perhaps even other violence of the troubles but was events such as we witnessed here in january with the bomb explosion in more interested in telling people bishop street. before i came here stories of their experiences of violence. what's behind this today, i read the intelligence that violence. what's behind this violence in derry? the police are led to that search activity. i wanted to come and talk to the people of this city and say that i saying they believe the new ira were read it myself, i convinced myself of the urgency and the need to carry responsible for this murder. they out that search activity. and i am area responsible for this murder. they are a small violent group opposed to the good friday agreement, signed 2i convinced, when we engage in that yea rs the good friday agreement, signed 2i years ago. the threat posed by activity, we don't do it lightly. we dissident republicans, despite the understand the impact it can have on peace process over the last few the community, but we have to balance that against the risk of not decades, remains classed by the
2:09 pm
carrying out that search activity police as severe. they said last and then perhaps people carrying out night they were acting on other murderous attacks over the intelligence that they believe act of violence were being planned to be weekend. regretfully, people such as carried out this weekend. traditionally, the easter weekend, i described earlier who are events completely out of step, goaded and traditionally, the easter weekend, eve nts ta ke traditionally, the easter weekend, events take place to commemorate the 1916 easter rising against british orchestrated young people to engage rule in dublin. the police say they in disorder. the police didn't react went into creggan and carried out to that disorder, we didn't respond searches to specifically look for with any use of force, we absorbed it. we were there to do search guns and ammunition. an illegal parade was due to be held in the activity, we didn't want to in any way make the situation any worse. area on monday. that is when the trouble broke out last night. over what the most cruel of deeds was 50 petrol bombs were thrown at police, two vehicles were hijacked carried out, someone walked onto the streets with a gun, with the and set on fire. a gunman opened intention of murdering police fire, we believe up to ten shots officers, in a situation that was we re fire, we believe up to ten shots were fired, aimed at police. we were built up. this is an urban told that a large number of people environment, people on the street, men, women, children, police we re told that a large number of people were present in the area and the shorts were aimed indiscriminately officers, and they discharged a down the street at any of the numberof officers, and they discharged a number of shots officers, and they discharged a numberof shots in officers, and they discharged a number of shots in the directions of bysta nders down the street at any of the bystanders who had come out to see police lines. and, tragically, lyra what was going on could have been mckee was fatally wounded. so to
2:10 pm
hit. answer your question, a great degree hundreds of police officers have arrived in central london, stopping anyone they think of thought goes into those policing is a protestorfrom getting down to oxford circus. operations. but i want us to focus on the people that did this. we are all standing here today speaking with one voice, and that one voice here are some light pictures now. —— is saying to those people, "you are live pictures. the area has been the focus not wanted, if your purpose in this of a climate change protest society is to cause mayhem, try and for the past five days. activists have also gathered at heathrow airport. so far, nearly 600 people have been arrested. sarah walton has the story. kill people, cause damage through bomb explosions, that is not it was a peaceful start to day wanted." bomb explosions, that is not wanted. " everyone has bomb explosions, that is not wanted." everyone has a place in five of the protest. society, but people of violence, they have no right to carry out that with the easter holiday keeping many commuters off the roads, there was less disruption to traffic. violence. is the threat they pose but demonstrators said they were as determined as ever to remain. i have come out to do my bit and we are going to come back on monday and we will be getting now inaudible...? no, it is not out arrested again and probably maybe of control. regretfully, when you locking on here again or doing whatever is necessary have people who are waking up
2:11 pm
until the government everyday and their sole purpose in life is to try attack police is prepared to speak with us. office rs life is to try attack police officers and to try and destroy the police have been making arrests, moving in in groups to carry peace that all of us work so hard protesters lying on the ground. but many of those detained have returned to the demonstrations for, desire so much, it is possible as soon as they were released. the home secretary to carry out such act. but please sajid javid says... let's think about what this place used to be like. the type of country that i grew up in, the scale and scotland yard says all rest days volume of terrorist activity and for officers have been criminal activity now is much less cancelled but the operation is now thanit criminal activity now is much less than it used to be. yes, we are keeping them from core duties. standing here on good friday, and it this is very frustrating is not good at all today because we for us because this is going to cost millions. have lost a member of our community, the sufferers from this will be the local communities in local a young girl of 29. and that is one boroughs where officers are being taken from the community areas and the funding money needs death far, far too much. but this is to be found to deal with a safe city. this is a good city, what we are doing, the people in this place that mean but the knock—on effect will be that my colleagues at some stage need to have their time off, so the people in this place that mean so much to me throughout my career, need to have their breaks, they are human beings, do not support this. they do not and it needs to be paid for. wanted. and i would just encourage, this morning, a small group staged a protest at heathrow airport
2:12 pm
but were quickly moved on by police, use this as an opportunity, a moment who had promised a robust response to any attempts in time where we, as a society, can to disrupt travel there. confront, condemn, yes, but confront this lunchtime, police have begun properly the mindsets that led to making arrests again but as extinction rebellion say more the sort of tragic events that we saw last night. raise our voices in people arejoining their organisation every day, it is still not clear when the protests will end. condemnation, yes, but also have those conversations. there are our correspondent, sarah walton, is at waterloo bridge people in this society who can have in central london. those conversations and try and get people to step away from those organisations. any political... what are the protesters telling you about timescales? i hope you can people are entitled to retain the link with the uk, people are hear me, we havejust had some pluto entitled to pursue a united ireland, starting behind me. at the moment, do it through politics or discourse, what they are saying is that they have no intention of leaving this but the threat of violence and carrying out violence is completely site anytime soon. what you have unacceptable. completely seen on waterloo bridge and the last couple of hours is about 20 or so unacceptable. completely protesters being ta ken couple of hours is about 20 or so protesters being taken by police. on unacceptable. do you believe the threat level posed by republicans this carriageway, protesters are has increased? the threat level from sitting down, lying down. police dissident republicans has been categorised as severe since every
2:13 pm
have been coming in groups about five or six, asking each protested 2009. that means an attack is highly to me. and then, when they say now, lifting them up and carrying them possible. that attack last night was away to a waiting police vans. the meant to be on police officers. but operation seems to have calmed down. we have seen how innocent people, the police are here but they seem to be hanging back at the moment, just hard—working, decent, innocent people can be caught up in these monitoring the situation, seeing actions. but if we had a police what is happening. the numbers of people here on waterloo bridge have been growing through the day. there officer killed last night, it would is quite a large group of supporters have beenjust officer killed last night, it would have been just as unacceptable. officer killed last night, it would have beenjust as unacceptable. the here, several hundred. extinction eyes have been caught by the fact rebellion say that they are getting that it was a lovely young girl, a more and more peoplejoining their 29—year—old girl, a fantastic organisation, signing up on the website. the actors, emma thompson, journalist, a wonderful career ahead of her which has been stolen from her. but if it had been a police has flown to the uk from america, taking part in protests at oxford officer, it would have beenjust as unaccountable. but every day, men circus. i'm sure everyone feels the same. that to inconvenience and women of the police service of people and disrupt their lives is not desirable. northern ireland just around the country and in this city, will be in policing all areas, working with but sometimes, as the suffragettes would have said when they were local people, addressing local fighting for the vote, issues, coming up with local and let us not forget that they disrupted an awful lot
2:14 pm
solutions. we have police officers of peoples' lives in order to get today riding pedal cycles about this something that we now take for granted. what about the drain city. we want to be working with on police resources... ? well, that's up to the police, that's not our decision, local people, addressing local we didn't ask for police resources. issues. the last thing we want is a it's not like we're burning things down. the police have turned up security type policing. so we are up for that challenge. but we need the because they have been asked to turn up, that's not our responsibility. you ask the government about that, or you ask westminister about that. dissident republican, the violent they decided to spend dissident republican, the violent dissident republican, the violent their money in this way. dissident republican groups to step back, we need them to go out of which i think, personally, is a waste of our taxpayers money. we're not doing anything violent. business. deputy chief constable stephen martin speaking in londonderry earlier. now on bbc news — paul adams we just wejust had we just had another protester taken investigates illegal and unsustainable fishing off away by police he had. police say the west coast of africa to find out that more than 500 arrests have been made since the protest started on monday, but they are finding that a in the hunt for fish, just how far lot of the people they are taking are we prepared to go? the global away are being released and then trade is worth billions of dollars. coming straight back to their protest sites. they are hoping, at some countries like china send fleets halfway around the world. some point, the protesters will come they don't leave much behind. resentment is growing. foreign together and just concentrate on one protest site at marble arch. i've been chatting to people here today,
