it could get fit mgflr r—m ff’fflgflit itsn imagine it could get difficult to detect what is important and what is not important. i was excited to show maisie an app called microsoft soundscape. yesterday was brought to a fast—moving and dynamic situation. we had to according off and lock down the city. we did that with terrific support from the public and we are slowly bringing those areas back to normality. it is a very intense scene, there is a lot of forensic work going on and it will be some time before the entire scene is released, but we are looking at where we can bring parts of the city back into life so that londoners can continue their business. this morning, i've been with the home secretary and the prime minister. they visited the scene with me and the commission of the metropolitan

police and after that the home secretary and the prime minister came to bishopsgate police station where she met some of the city of london police officers who had been on duty yesterday and they also went into the control room and saw some of the work that the control room do to make sure that incidents like this, which we hope will never happen, are actually responded to professionally and properly. we traina professionally and properly. we train a lot to make sure that is the case and i think that happened yesterday and i'm very proud of the bravery of the police officers, the bravery of the police officers, the bravery of the members of the public and the fact that this operation was concluded as swiftly as possible. thank you. what lessons were learned from the terror attack in 2017 in terms of being prepared and being on the scene within minutes? we have taken the lessons from that time in 2017, we have always worked really well with the other emergency services and we do a significant

regime of testing and exercising. we are continuing that, we've enhanced that, we've enhanced ourfirearms capability in the city as well as enhanced medical and first aid training. all of these are things we have put in place and you will see from the bridge the physical barriers that have been put in place since the attack of two years ago so we are constantly learning, we are not complacent. how challenging was it for those armed police officers on the ground? first, they thought he was wearing an explosive device which turned out to be fake, but what goes through their minds, what is in the training to keep people safe ? is in the training to keep people safe? they have to make split-second decisions and it is a really, really difficult thing for them to do but what we have to do is equip them with the training in the assessment and judgment that enables them to make those choices and those decisions split—second. that's why we train them really well, that's why we test them, that's why we rehearse these incidents, notjust firearms officers but all the other

people in the emergency services to make sure that when that incident happens, their training kicks in and they are able to respond. ultimately, it is for them to make choices at the time. they make those choices at the time. they make those choices and they are accountable for those choices, but i think you saw yesterday some really, really brave officers and members of the public in this very dangerous incident. why is there such a large chord and still in place —— cordon. is there such a large chord and still in place -- cordon. i cannot comment because that is part of the investigation and forensic scene. all i can say is we are working hard with our colleagues in the met to make sure that as and when we can release parts of that cordon, we will do so, because the last thing i wa nt to will do so, because the last thing i want to do is disrupt london and we are keeping it as tight as we can. we've already move some of the cordons on the south side of the river and we are looking, as soon as we can release the scene, we will

do, buti we can release the scene, we will do, but i urge everyone to understand this is a very, very complex scene, there are people who have died at the scene and we need to make sure that we carry out that proper, photo investigation. what is the condition of the three victims? i'm not in a position to comment on that. the met police have said they don't think he was acting with anyone else and that he was acting alone. what more can you tell us about the early stages of this investigation, where does it go from here? the investigation into the offence, whilst the incident took place in the london area, the metropolitan police lead on counterterrorism investigations so you would have to ask the met about those aspects of the investigation, i could not comment. your officers will be stepping up police controls, there is a big police presence here so as there is a big police presence here so as well as this investigation, cressida dick said it was about

ensuring the public. what is your message to them? london is a massively vibrant city with hundreds of thousands of people working here, business as usual. we will not let terrorism defeat is in this capital. my terrorism defeat is in this capital. my officers and i are working around the clock to protect the public and my message is, carry on your business as usual, be vigilant. if there is something unusual, reported to us or to somebody in authority, but we cannot let incidents like this to tear us from living our lives in london. there is an appeal for information, footage, images. are you processing those orders that the met? have you been overwhelmed in the last 2a hours? the met? have you been overwhelmed in the last 24 hours? no, we have not been overwhelmed. the investigation, the privacy is with the met so the information will go to the met police but even if it comes through the city, we will

absolutely send it on to them so it isa absolutely send it on to them so it is a seamless operation, retrieving all that important information. if anyone does have any information, please pass it on to us. is there anything else you can say at this time? ella might all i can say is that it was an operation that was swiftly dealt with yesterday. the consequences are profound, people have died, but we are working as you would expect us to as the emergency services of london, across the police forces and other responders to make sure we are dealing with this as best we can and i think we can be very proud of both the public spiritedness yesterday and of the police officers that dealt with the incident. what about the terror threat? it was reduced earlier this month. has it been talk of changing it? i can assure you that in the city, i wouldn't response remained as we always do, we are very focused on protective security in the city andi on protective security in the city and i think that you saw yesterday are and i think that you saw yesterday a re really and i think that you saw yesterday are really quick response time. we

a lwa ys are really quick response time. we always have been historically a place where there has been terrorist attacks and the threat of terrorist attacks and the threat of terrorist attacks so i have to make sure that i have a capability to meet that and that's what we did yesterday. thank you. thank you very much. that was the commissioner of the city of london police ian dyson talking to reporters outside of the building where that incident took place, fishmonger sol, yesterday. just to update you, it is the responsibility of the met police, the city of london is only responsible for the city district. it overla ps responsible for the city district. it overlaps with the main area beyond the square mile. for historical reasons it has a historic dam accepted police force but the met police is the lead on any counterterrorism. that has been

determined because usman khan is a convicted terrorist and was committing a terrorist attacks with the police say it becomes the responsibility of the met police. they are responsible for the team who police the city. they will be looking at issues of public protection and stepping up police presence on the ground. the message from everybody in charge in london, whether it is the mayor of london, the prime minister, the met police commissioner, it is business as usualfor london, we commissioner, it is business as usual for london, we seen the prime minister visiting the scene with the home secretary priti patel earlier with the commissioner of the city police, and it is cressida dick, the metropolitan police commissioner. it isa metropolitan police commissioner. it is a team effort and all responses will be brought together —— all resources will be brought together.

that is what the government's cobra meetings are for, to make sure there is an adequate response to this kind, there has been rivalry between different parts of the police security systems in other countries, that was a problem in belgium in a few years ago and it is a problem britain is determined not to repeat, according to the mayor of london, who also visited the scene in the last hour. the three victims of a stabbing attack in the hague yesterday had been revealed as two boys and a 13—year—old girl. shoppers ran from the scene yesterday. the three were stabbed but treated in hospital and have all been discharged. the attacker‘s motive and identity still appear to be unknown. it's gone from remote

wilderness to tourist hotspot in just a few decades. antarctica is now the destination of choice for thousands of thrill seekers. but with tourism and climate change taking their toll on the region, visitors now have a greener, more sustainable way of getting there. ladies and gentlemen, have a wonderful first day in antarctica. the coldest, most hostile place on earth. and one of the most popular. nearly 80,000 visit this fragile environment each year. every passenger generating five tonnes of c02. a polar paradox — antarctica's tourist boom threatening its very existence. now, though, hope on the horizon. to be on the first hybrid—powered expedition ship in the world, that makes it pretty special. it is the same technology as you have in your trusty telephone, only larger. on its maiden voyage, the ship's electric engines drastically cutting the environmental impact

and delivering savings of 20%. on higher decks, 430 passengers can enjoy its lounges, infinity pool and hot tubs — a bubble of luxury in a wintry wilderness. they are also invited to seek scientific enlightenment. you have passengers coming down, which provides a great opportunity for them to be involved in actual science that is going on in a region of the world where we don't have a lot of data. we are also increasing the awareness of our guests on the problem that is climate change, for example, and the many changes that are taking place. trips ashore are carefully controlled. tourists keeping well away from wildlife and cleaning personal effects to avoid the introduction of invasive species. translation: when we come here, when we see and feel the reality, we understand how important it is that it stays that way — protected, uninhabited,

reserved for animals. with a second hybrid ship planned, visits to this white continentjust got a little bit greener. andy beatt, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather with alina jenkins. hello, it was really cold this morning, close to —10 celsius in rural scotland. fog has been lingering, particularly through the midlands, east wales in the pennines. whilst most of us are dry, there is rain in the forecast courtesy of this area of low pressure grazing the far southwest of the uk so that has been bringing outbreaks of rain into the isles of scilly, cornwall and towards the

channel islands and devon, perhaps south wales as well, certainly more cloud across south—western and southern parts of the uk, still fog lingering through the midlands into east wales and across the pennines asi east wales and across the pennines as i mentioned, one or two showers for northern and eastern scotland. for most, it is dry with spells of sunshine. but it is cold, areas with rural fog will struggle to get above freezing. overnight, the area of rain across southwest start to pull away southwards taking the gusty wind with it, 40 to 50 mph. the fog will not be as extensive, forming across parts of east wales and the north midlands into northern england and a breezy night across the southern half of the uk so some may just about escape the frost, certainly from the midlands northwards, another cold and frosty start tomorrow morning with temperatures across parts of rural scotland, getting close to nine or 10 scotland, getting close to nine or io celsius. we have low pressure slipping southwards so any rain

tomorrow will be in the form of a scattering of showers across northern and eastern scotland and down eastern coasts of england, there will be spells of sunshine once the fog starts to lift. it should do more regularly given one ofa should do more regularly given one of a breeze. temperatures at places a little bit up on what we have seen today, four to eight, maybe nine celsius. into monday, we are going to start for most with high pressure being the dominant feature, but weather fronts toppling into scotland, bringing some outbreaks of rain and quite a brisk west are southwesterly wind as well so a little bit mild across northern and western scotland without rain extending into the northern isles through the day, quite heavy in places. elsewhere, a dry day, some sunshine after a cold and frosty start, temperatures around six to nine celsius. for most over the weekend, it is looking dry. some rain at times for the far north of scotla nd rain at times for the far north of scotland and outbreaks of rain towards the end of the week where it will turn a little bit milder.

this is bbc news. the headlines at 2pm: the prime minister visits the scene of the london bridge attack — and says people convicted of violent offences shouldn't be released early from prison. the attacker‘s been named as usman khan, out on licence after being automatically released from prison, despite a terrorism conviction. the practice of automatic early release, where you cut a sentence in half and let really serious, violent offenders out early simply isn't working and i think you've had some very good evidence of how that is not working, i'm afraid, with this case. the queen hails the bravery of passers—by yesterday, who restrained the attacker before he was shot dead by police. when we are all kicking and holding him to the ground, the guy was just constantly screaming, "get off me, get off me.
