good afternoon. it's emerged that the man who carried out yesterday's stabbing attack at london bridge was a former prisoner convicted of terrorism offences. he's been named by the police as 28—year—old usman khan, who was released from prison on licence last year.

two people were killed in the attack and three others were injured before khan was shot dead by police. the queen has sent her "thoughts, prayers and deepest sympathies to all those who have lost loved ones". our home affairs correspondent sarah corker reports. please search our property close to safford town centre this morning thought to be linked to the attacker. this man, usman khan, 28 yea rs attacker. this man, usman khan, 28 years old, a convicted terrorist out on licence. the attack started at fishmonger‘s hall close to london bridge. usman khan had been invited toa criminal bridge. usman khan had been invited to a criminaljustice event run by cambridge university. mobile phone footage shows what happened next. he is pinned to the ground on the bridge. some of those intervening where prisoners on day release who had been at the same event. including 42—year—old james ford, a convicted murderer who helped to chase the attacker. the knife is

then taken off him. police arrived within minutes and shot him dead. a man and woman were killed, three others, a man and two women, were also injured and remain in hospital. this is usman khan speaking to the bbc in 2008 before his conviction. if you ask them do you really know that i am no terrorist? he was originally from stoke—on—trent and was jailed in 2012 for his part in a group plot to bomb the london stock exchange. he was sentenced to an indeterminate detention for public protection with a minimum term of eight years. but in 2013 that sentence was quashed, replaced with a16 sentence was quashed, replaced with a 16 year fixed term for which he should have served half in prison. he was automatically released a year ago on licence with an electronic tag. there are big questions that

this case poses and it is important for there to be a proper review to see whether lessons can be learned. ido see whether lessons can be learned. i do accept we have to look long and ha rd i do accept we have to look long and hard at the type of sentences we are using for these kind of violent offenders. there will now be more questions and intense scrutiny on how to deal with convicted terrorists once they leave prison. today the queen sent her thoughts, prayers and deepest sympathies to all those who have lost loved ones and who have been affected by yesterday's terrible violence. the prime minister borisjohnson has visited london bridge this morning. he met cressida dick, the metropolitan police commissioner. our correspondent katharine da costa is on the bridge now. there is still a large police cordon on the bridge and you can see a number of buses and cars that were abandoned yesterday during the chaos and they are yet to be cleared. police patrols have been stepped up

across london and despite the public being told to avoid the area, there area large being told to avoid the area, there are a large number of visitors and tourists here today. this morning the prime minister borisjohnson met with the home secretary, the head of the city of london police, and with the city of london police, and with the head of the metropolitan police, cressida dick. in the last half and oui’ cressida dick. in the last half and our cressida dick spoke to reporters. she said the focus is very much on this investigation and she reassured the public. she thanked those who intervened in yesterday's attack and said london would be resilient and remains open for business. in the meantime, the public are being reminded to remain vigilant and they have urged anyone who witnessed yesterday's. .. and our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford is here now. a convicted terrorist carried out this attack and it raises many

questions. a huge number of questions. a huge number of questions. a huge number of questions. a lot of people were convicted of terrorist offences in the aftermath of 2011 and continue to do so today. but a number are now coming out of prison and a key concern is what is the appropriate way of dealing with those people. this is someone who served a long time in prison and did some counterterrorism courses in prison to de—radicalise him and he was still doing de—radicalisation courses after he left prison. these are designed to change the mindset of people and to protect the public. in this case clearly has mindset has not been changed. the public was not protected and that is why politicians are now saying they want to look again at the kind of sentences people who have convicted these kind of offences get and whether we need to change the system. they will not be able to do that retrospectively and there will bea that retrospectively and there will be a lot of people coming out of prison who have served for terrorism

offences and they will need to be dealt with. daniel sanford, thank you. daniel sanford, thank you. rail fares will rise by an average of 2.7% injanuary according to the body that represents the rail industry. it means some commuters will see their season tickets go up by more than £100. the independent watchdog transport focus said a majority of rail users did not feel they were getting value for money. katie prescott has the details. christmas is coming and for commuters on southwestern trains, that means almost a month of scenes like these. the strikes on the line start on monday. so the news that train fares will rise again next year, above the standard rate of inflation, has not gone down well with these passengers in bristol. i think the rail service probably needs to be improved nationwide, before they can think about putting up fares. i've just come over from cambridge and it would have been cheaper to me to go to paris. today's announcement means many commuters face an increase of more than £100 in the annual cost of getting to work. for example, a season ticket

from eastbourne to london goes up £136, tipping it over the £5,000 mark. a season ticket between glasgow and edinburgh will set you back by £4,200 a year, up £116. but the rail industry defends the increases, saying 98p from every pound spent on fares goes into running the railway. at the moment we're going through like a record splurge on the railway network. more money is being put onto the network now than at any other time since the victorian era. so, we are replacing half of the entire nation's feet, but we are also putting money elsewhere by adding extra services where they are really needed. both train companies and passengers say they'd like to see a new, more flexible system for fares put in place. this is one of the many issues expected to be addressed in a major review into the rail industry, which will report after the election. katie prescott, bbc news.

now with all the sports news, here's holly hamilton at the bbc sport centre. good afternoon. today england and wales will find out who they'll be facing at euro 2020. the draw is taking place in bucharest at 5 o'clock. our reporterjohn watson is there. yes, many thanks. the great and good of european football will be gathering here later on for that drawer, a draw in which wales and england both feature. we know england both feature. we know england could face a really top drawer. they could be drawn against the reigning world champions france, the reigning world champions france, the reigning world champions france, the reigning european champions portugal, and scotland will also go into the group with england if they qualify for the play—off in march. wales could be placed into group eight which would see them taking on italy and also see them playing a number of their group matches in azerbaijan in baku, so that offers a

logistical issue for them. they could be placed into group b which would see them drawn against belgium, the top—ranked side in international football at the moment. because of the structure of the tournament being played right across europe, a large part of the draw is predetermined. northern ireland can still qualify if they can make it through the play—offs in march. either way, the draw gets under way come five o'clock, so at six o'clock this evening both england and wales will know their fate. you can watch that you can watch on bbc two. now, cricket and england face a real battle to win the second test and level the series in hamilton. england were 39—2 at the close, in reply to new zealand's first innings of 375. they still trail by 336. 18 months ago three time olympic rowing champion pete reed had just announced his retirement from the sport and returned to a job with the royal navy. but in september, pete suffered a "one in a million" spinal stroke which left him paralysed from the chest down. in his first interview

since the injury, he tells sir matthew pinsent how his life has changed over the last three months. hello, matt. hi, nice to see you. long time. you right? i'm good. so show me around, where have we got to go? so we're at the duke of cornwall spinal treatment centre in salisbury. hi sophie, you all right? so i walked into hospital in uniform. i had weak legs and a strange gait but then on the third day in hospital, i had a big stroke in the same area and that's scary, that's really scary. so i had such big pain to the point where i felt nauseous. i went back into bed and the pain was extraordinary, like nothing i've felt, across my chest and across my back. by this point, jeannie, my partner, was with me, and it was scary ‘cause i was lying down and i could feel the life drain out of my legs.

and within about 45 minutes the pain had gone and i couldn't move my legs. the first thing i did was try to sit up and i couldn't so i grabbed the sides of the bed to pull myself up and ifell forwards like a rag doll and then fell backwards because i've got no core strength and that was the first time that, that's really scary. you mentioned jeannie. it must be so difficult for you together. i think it's hardest for her, she's stuck by me, she's incredible and i think everybody in this situation needs someone just like her, so i'm very lucky but she's handling it brilliantly and we're a great team. and your athlete mentality, does that help at that point? there's nothing more beneficial to me now than my athlete mindset, nothing. and the big goal is how quickly can i get back to that big scary world out there that's more scary now i'm

the target is even bigger than before, for me. and the motivation is even bigger than before for me. let's return now to the main news, yesterday's attack at london bridge where two people were stabbed to death. it's emerged that the man who carried out the attack, usman khan, had been released from prison after serving eight years for terrorism offences. in the past few minutes the prime minister has been speaking, after visiting the scene of the attacks. i pay i pay tribute to the incredible response. they were on the scene in four minutes. the assailant was tackled within five minutes, a quite incredible response by the police, also i want to pay tribute again, as the whole country does, to the sheer bravery of those members of the public who went to deal with him spontaneously, putting their own lives at risk. the prime minister speaking a short time ago.

you can see more on all of today's stories on the bbc news channel. the next news on bbc one is at 5:15. on the bbc news channel. you're watching the bbc news channel. more now on our top story... the queen has paid tribute to those who died in the attacks at london bridge and praised the emergency services and those who risked their lives to take down the attacker. she said: prince phillip and i send our thoughts, prayers and deepest sympathies to all those who have lost loved ones and who have been affected by yesterday's terrible violence. the prime minister has visited the scene with the home secretary priti patel, the pair met with met police commissioner cressida dick to thank the emergency workers who had worked

through the night. let's hear what he had to say... it is clear to me that this guy was out, he had served half of his sentence, he was out on automatic early release and i have long said that the system simply is not working. it does not make sense for us asa working. it does not make sense for us as a society to put terrorists, people connected my convicted of terrorist offences out on early release. that is my immediate take away from this. the prime minister speaking a short time ago at the scene of the attack. the head of metropolitan police cressida dick has also been addressing reporters. it isa it is a terrible thing to see people

who have lost their lives. and there was so who have lost their lives. and there was so much who have lost their lives. and there was so much carnage. who have lost their lives. and there was so much carnage. rest assured, oui’ was so much carnage. rest assured, our teams are incredibly professional. they have all the equipment and skills they need to find out exactly what happened here and indeed, what led up to the events here yesterday. i would like to thank people in the local area and the people in london in general for most of all their perseverance in accepting that we must do ourjob properly at a scene like this and although we have managed to release although we have managed to release a lot of the roads we will of course be here for some time examining the crime scene. i also want to repeat my comments from yesterday. yesterday as well as all that horror

we've witnessed the most extraordinary courage by members of the public and indeed the city of london and other police officers an emergency officers. we saw some wonderful examples of quick thinking and compassion. it is a terrible thing that people found themselves in that position, but as we saw the worst of humankind, we also saw the very best of humans. and of london. the investigative teams are working very fast. he will have seen that last night my colleague assistant commissioner put out an update. we do believe that this person, as far as we can tell at the moment, was acting alone and we will continue to investigate the circumstances that led to this moment. the head of the metropolitan police.

this morning, more details of the man who carried out a stabbing attack on london bridge have emegred. 28—year—old usman khan, a convicted terrorist who was freed from prision on licence last year, was shot dead by armed officers after killing two people and injuring three others. he was known to the authorities, having beenjailed in 2012 for an al-qaeda inspired plot to bomb the london stock exchange. former head of national counterterrorism security office, chris phillips, says questions need to be asked of the legal system there is also a desire to treat terrorists as normal criminals. well, they are not normal criminals. they are very, very dangerous people and to treat someone that is radicalised, that wants to kill mass casualties in the same way as someone who robs a bank is just crazy. when someone like him comes out and he is released automatically, just to explain this, why are the parole board not involved 7 this is an automatic piece. if you've got a sentences, there is an automatic release date which is six months after the sentence begins. what levels of checks go

in to that to make sure that the person has not reversed their view and become re—radicalised? i do not know. it may come clear in the future just how much evidence they have got of this man being deradicalised. it is quite easy to say that they no longer believe that and then they are released back into the streets. the key point why are we letting people out that are radicalised, who have got a desire to kill many people? there were many people targeted on the original arrest. he was tagged, we understand. what level of monitoring would he have had? atag. i mean, what is the point in a tag, for goodness' sake? if someone wants to go and kill people with a knife or a gun ora bomb, as ifa tag is going to stop them. all that is going to do is locate them. is that all that would have happened to him? would he be interviewed by anyone? that may well have been the case as well.

there would have been other conditions, maybe he was not allowed to go to certain areas. but i imagine this conference he went to go to, he was probably paid to go there. it is good that we are doing these things. because we are trying to find out how people are becoming radicalised. how the criminaljustice system works for prisoners. but this guy is encouraged to go there and he has gone to that event when a pretend bomb strapped to him with a knife intending to kill. if the security services wanted to keep track of somebody like this who is released, how difficult is that? how many people does it take? let me put it this way, hundreds and hundreds of people have been convicted of terrorism over the last 15 to 20 years in this country. a good proportion of them have been released back into society. we have also got a lot of people, a lot of terrorists who have been over in syria and iraq fighting, they have come back. we have also got a number of people who are a cause for concern for the police.

how on earth can we expect the police and security officers to monitor all these people? the simple answer is we cannot do that. we have a situation where we have a lot of very dangerous people walking around, polluting communities and causing all sorts of issues and every now and again, one will pop up and commit a terrorist attack. we need to sort this out and make sure radicalised prisoners, convicted of terrorism are kept in prison. that was chris phillips there. tour guide stevie hurst was one of those who helped to restrain the attacker. he's been speaking to 5—live. his account contains some graphic details. well, we saw, just sort of a handful of people running away from a direction to the left of us, on the left—hand side, from south to north, and i don't know why, but i felt compelled to jump out of the car to go and see

what the situation was. and we saw a guy being accosted to the floor. i ran over to investigate what was going on and the guys were just screaming, "he's stabbed a couple of women". i'm guessing from the bar, from the fishmongers' bar. so they were screaming that. so everyone was just on top of him, trying to bundle him to the ground, and we saw that the knife was still in his hand, he was covered in blood. the knife was still in his hand, so ijust put a foot in to try and kick him in head... we were trying to do as much as we could to try to dislodge the knife from his hand so he wouldn't harm anyone else. so the guys that were there were just amazing. incredible people. heroes beyond belief. the police were there within minutes, which was incredible. they started to drag all of us off, and that is when you see the guy that had the knife with the suit, he is... he has found a knife that has been dislodged, it kind of went down the side of the pavement, he has picked it up and taken it away, because we wanted to make sure that that is all that he had.

we wanted to make sure that we dislodged that so he couldn't harm anyone else. but as the police were dragging him off, he rolls onto his back, and that is when they scream, "bomb!" so that is when we noticed that he was wearing a bomb vest of some kind. he has got some sort of bomb device connected to him, and that is when everyone started to step back. and my long green coat, in all of the videos, i have just realised that is very obvious. we have all stepped back. he tried to get up. but the funny thing is, when we were kicking and holding him to the ground, the guy was constantly screaming, "get off me! get off me!", as if everyone wasjust going to let him go and do his thing. but we wanted to make sure that he was never going to do this again, he is never going to harm another single human being on this planet. the police put three rounds into his chest from his back and he's still lying on the floor putting the coat over him to try and, i don't know, keep himself warm, knowing that he's about to die. that was stevie hearst. he got involved in part in restraining the attacker. with me now isjon black,

from the london criminal court solicitors' association. thank you for coming in. where do you think the system has gone wrong because it clearly has? it appears to have been a failure to monitor the individual adequately. since he has been released. released halfway through his sentence, as we know, i'm 16 years that he was serving. what we have seen in the last four yea rs what we have seen in the last four years is as a result of the privatisation of the probation service and offender management that the system cannot cope with the number of offenders they have to manage. a lot of the routine is essentially taking things off in a box. do you know how people are managed? box. do you know how people are managed ? what sort box. do you know how people are managed? what sort of potential monitoring would be sort of people go through? upon release, they have

a manager who will make sure that they attend meetings and discuss their attitudes towards their offence that they were convicted and how they are managing within the community with terms of rehabilitation and resettling with theirfamily, back rehabilitation and resettling with their family, back into the community. how often would they normally see someone? it varies. the time will change during the course from their release from custody. immediately after release, they are more frequently meeting with the air —— with their offender management. there are changes in personnel, the manager might be off sick or they might be on annual leave. and often the system is not cut out to make

arrangements for others to step in and managed them. i am speculating because i don't know what has happened in this specific case. it might be he was under tight management and observation from his offender management team, but his mindset might have been that he was determined to carry out this atrocity and it may well have been that he was determined from the point he left prison. he is not going to admit that to his offender manager. or during his psychological profiling. that is not going to be assessed accurately. he is going to keep that hate and. presumably some are going to be tagged or kept under observation, but those resources are stretched. that again is intended out to a private company. and they keep tabs on the individual who is

subject to the gps tagging. it depends upon the level of monitoring and efficiency of that monitoring and efficiency of that monitoring and the equipment. you are talking about the tagging. yes. the monitoring from the tagging. we understand he was under gps tagging. he had a legitimate reason to be in london to attend the meeting. as far as you know, i accept this is a complex matter, would someone like him also be under surveillance by the security services you know tracking their online presence who they might be contacting etc? you would expect cell. i am not an expert in that area at. i am not going to speculate. you would expect cell. we are in an election. and —— we are in an election time and you

can expect some grandstanding in relation to circumstances of this incident. it is a symptom of the entire criminaljustice system by the lack ofjoined up thinking. briefly, borisjohnson the lack ofjoined up thinking. briefly, boris johnson amongst others say that perhaps this release after serving half the sentence should stop and people like they should stop and people like they should serve the full sentence. is that something that is an active debate and has been? it has for yea rs. debate and has been? it has for years. the law was recently changed, it wasn't it? so an individual who serves a certain amount can only be released of two thirds of their sentence after an assessment has been made. that has always been the case with indeterminate sentences. they can be released after an assessment. 0k, thank you so much.

well let us listen to what the prime minister had to say when he visited the london bridge peary i wanted to thank the police for what they were doing. i pay tribute to them. they we re doing. i pay tribute to them. they were on the scene in four minutes. the assailant was tackled within five minutes, quite incredible response by the police. also i want to pay tribute again as i think the whole country is, to the sheer bravery for the members of the public who went to deal with him spontaneously, putting their own lives at risk. so, i have been talking a bit about the scene, what happens, trying to understand exactly how this man came to be in fish mongers how. it is early days. there is an investigation that needs to be done. it is clear to me that this guy was out, he had served half

of his sentence, he was out on an automatic early release and i have long said that the system simply is not working. it does not make for us -- it not working. it does not make for us —— it does not make sense for us as a society to put people who are committed of terrorist offences out on early release. we argue that people should serve the term for which they are sentenced. that is my immediate take away from this and thatis immediate take away from this and that is why we are committed to increasing the sentences for serious and violent offenders and why i have argued that when people are sentenced to a certain number of yea rs sentenced to a certain number of years in prison, they should serve every year of that sentence. i also think very strong go —— strongly looking here is that it can be business as usual as fast as possible. all the friends that have to be done and thankfully the police are doing a fantasticjob, i think

people, businesses around here want to get on with their lives. it is the run up to christmas there and you can see people out on the street shopping. when a government under your leadership committee reviewing indeterminate sentences? absolutely. we say in the manifesto we want to make tougher the sentences. i have set for a long time that the practice of automatic early release where if you cut and sentence in half and let very serious offenders out very early simply is not working andi out very early simply is not working and i think you have had some good evidence of how this is working with this case. how pv is that the public that this is safe! how can you reassure the public they are safe? there is a great deal of work that

is making sure that the public is protecting everyone. i want to think that security services as well for the outstanding job they have done as well. don't forget for every incident like this, as terrible as it is there are many, many that are thwarted. many prospective terrorists who are intercepted by our fantastic police. borisjohnson boris johnson speaking at borisjohnson speaking at the scene on london bridge in the last hour or so. on london bridge in the last hour or so. i want to show you the pictures we are getting live. you can see sadiq khan who just visiting the scene london bridge accompanied by cressida dick, head of the metropolitan police, and they are just walking towards the camera. we are expecting to hear from them also shortly. they have been visiting the

london bridge area, much of which is still cordoned off as police continue their investigation and we have also just heard from the prime minister calling for people not to be released halfway through their sentences. there are questions of how a convicted terrorist was allowed to go free. a question of surveillance monitoring, tagging, what scrutiny he was under in the last year, these are now questions that are going to be raised. you can see sadiq khan crossing the road on london bridge. we know this was a busy time of the evening when the attack happened last night or yesterday afternoon. we are expecting to hear from some of those at the scene in the next few minutes, but the prime minister saying that he now wants to toughen up saying that he now wants to toughen up the sentences for serious and

violent offences. that is a debate thatis violent offences. that is a debate that is going to be very active. we also heard from our home affairs correspondent that there are a number of terrorist offenders who will be soon released from prison because they have served their sentences within the last few years so sentences within the last few years so that, again, is going to be a very key question, will those people be still allowed out halfway through those sentences? let us take you to new scotland yard because we are expecting a news conference from the met in the next few minutes. we will give you all the latest, of course, we do know that two people were killed and three people were injured, one seriously, yesterday in that attack. let's get the weather. frost and fog was an it should this morning under the high pressure. this weather front is drifting into

the new continent and bringing cloud and rain across the far southwest so here, not quite as cold but on the breezy site with rain at times. elsewhere, the fog slowly lifts, it's dry, settled and sunny into the afternoon with just a few isolated showers across the north and east coasts, temperatures are struggling to eight celsius quite widely apart from the southwest. that patchy rain d rifts off into from the southwest. that patchy rain drifts off into france through the night, a bit more of a breeze preventing frost and fog here but further north again under those clear skies and temperatures are likely to fall away but the 1st of december looks likely to stay quiet with some sparkling, winter sunshine after a frosty start for many, largely dry and temperatures are still expected to struggle, top temperature on sunday afternoon of three to eight celsius.

hello, this is bbc news. the headlines: the queen hails the bravery of passers—by on london bridge yesterday, as it's revealed the attacker they restrained before he was shot dead by police was a convicted terrorist. we were all kicking him and holding on to the ground and the guy was screaming, get off me, as if eve ryo ne screaming, get off me, as if everyone was going to let him do his thing, but we wanted to make sure he was not going to harm anyone. the attacker has been named as usman khan — he killed two people and injured three more — they are now

recovering in hospital. an address linked to khan is being searched in stafford — he was on license after being automatically released from prison. the prime minister has visited the scene, alongside the commissioner of the metropolitan police. i pay i pay tribute to the incredible response. they were on the scene in four minutes. the terrorist, the assailant, was tackled within five minutes, quite an incredible response by the police. in other news, millions of commuters will have to pay an average of 2.7% more for rail tickets in the new year. sadiq khan is a speaking. he is taking questions from journalists. i'm quite clear that it's the job of

the terrorism and analysis centre to assess direct rivals —— assess threat levels. work was taken to reduce the threat level to substantial which means an attack is likely,, which substantial which means an attack is likely, , which means substantial which means an attack is likely,, which means the police were less vigilant but they were still doing theirjob. what we can say from the information we have from the police is that it appears as if this was one man acting by himself. u nfortu nately, two this was one man acting by himself. unfortunately, two people have lost their lives. three others are in hospital full stop they are all u nsta ble hospital full stop they are all unstable conditions, one of him is ina unstable conditions, one of him is in a critical condition, but this was, according to the police, a lone attacker, not a very sophisticated attack, because our excellent police, far fewer people were

injured and lost their lives than would have been the case otherwise. one of the great things about london is our diversity and strength, which is our diversity and strength, which is our diversity and strength, which is our strength, not a weakness. that includes eu citizens who are not uk citizens and one of the things i'm so proud of today is we saw yesterday one example of the worst of humanity and the actions of this terrorist, but many, many exa m ples of this terrorist, but many, many examples of the best of humanity and when i see the best of us, i include eu citizens and i'm very proud of the people inside fishmongers' hall and on london bridge. there are many reasons to be depressed and to be gloomy and think the worst of people but we've got to remember that every day, there are miracles that occur when people act in extraordinary ways. what we saw yesterday was

ordinary citizens including londoners of polish origin, one, who acted in an extraordinary way and i'm really proud of him. i understand why people might be concerned about travelling to london if you are not a londoner or concerned about coming to central london. last night in this part of london, outside a card in, you had people enjoying the bars and restau ra nts, people enjoying the bars and restaurants, coming to eat and drink, enjoying the sights and sounds of london, today we have police officers working incredibly hard. british transport police are here to reassure you that we are doing all we can to keep our city safe and the reality is that what terrorists want is notjust to divide communities and to injure, maim and kill, but also disrupt our way of life, stop us going about our business and we have four or five

weeks until christmas, this is an important time for businesses and for retailers and restaurants, and what i sata london is the best way to show a stoic response to this terrorist is by coming to london —— what i see to london. the police are working hard with the other authorities as hard as possible and throughout the world, notjust manchester, cities in france, manchester, cities in france, manchester, belgium, the united states, have also been victims of terrorism and we stand united and we wa nt to terrorism and we stand united and we want to make sure that london is as safe as it can be. it seems like he has been abusing the law after his release despite being a serious criminal. do you think we can protect this country by making the law harder? one of the things that the police and others are looking into is the circumstances of this

individual and what happened. it's really important that i don't preach confidences orjeopardise that investigation. there will clearly need to be a review and questions answered. we do know, which is in the public domain already, that this man was convicted of a very serious offence of terrorism, one of the most serious offences you can be convicted of, and it's right and proper that these questions are asked so that we make sure we do all that we can to keep our city safe, including making sure that the criminal justice system including making sure that the criminaljustice system is used properly. can you shed light on... what's clear is that we saw yesterday some amazing heroism from people using their initiative in relation to finding a weapon, a device, to try to take away their weapons from this man who had two knives and a suicide belt. those

ordinary citizens who acted in an extraordinary manner, those police officers had no idea whether the device this man had on him was a real device or was a hoax but they had no idea what other weapons this man had on him. what they did know is that this man had one extremely large knife and another knife and they improvise in relation to try to ta ke they improvise in relation to try to take weapons of him and stop him harming others, where it is using a fire extinguisher, whether using a task or using other devices and we should reflect on the fact these people ignored all the advice to run away from danger to look after your own safety and ran towards danger instead to make sure others were safe and i'm just so incredibly proud, as mayor. i think we should all be proud of our fellow citizens including the police. thank you all very much. studio: sadiq khan taking questions
