then suddenlyjust a man shouted and darted to the left and was shouting something, i could not hear what, i don't know if it was unintelligible oi’ screams oi’ don't know if it was unintelligible or screams or a foreign language or anything, but he then darted and i thought it was just a scuffle at first, looking back now i know that he was stopping them, so he stabbed the first person, went round, because they were sat around in a circle drinking, about eight to ten people, and he darted around around the circle, went to one, got to than other, stop the next one. later last night a block of flats was raided by police, it is not known what was found in the residence, but police this morning declared they are treating it as a terror incident, and counterterrorism officers will now lead the investigation. presently, we are not looking for anyone else in relation to the

incident, however, counterterrorism detectives worked closely with the security services and will work closely with thames valley colleagues, and we will continue making inquiries to make sure that thatis making inquiries to make sure that that is the case. our priority is to make sure that there are no outstanding threats to members of the public. high on the poled end second that people should lose their lives this way —— i am appalled and sick, my thoughts are with the family and friends of those involved, thank you for the officers bravery and tackling the suspect, we i'iow bravery and tackling the suspect, we now have someone and suspect —— in custody, the police can do theirjob and get to the bottom of what happened, so it would be difficult to comment in detail. except to say basic, if there are lessons to be learned about how we handle the events leading up to such cases, we

will learn those lessons and we will not hesitate to take action when necessary. we are able to name the 25 euros man who is still being questioned by the police as khairi saadallah, he has 25 years old, believed to be a liveon origin, it is not clear how long he has been here or if he has connections of the rest of the uk, but that is the information that we have on the man who is being questioned by the police on the suspicion of the murder of those three people last night. the bodies of the three people who died were removed from the scene this morning, three people we re the scene this morning, three people were seriously injured and to have now been discharged from hospital neck accordance remain in place a across a large part of the city and flowers a nd across a large part of the city and flowers and tribune have been left for people caught up in the attack. lease are appealing for people who may have footage of the impotence to get in touch with them as it may contain vital clues.

lee dodderidge is director at covenant security and a former member of the national counter terrorism security office. we are very much at the early stages of this investigation, very little is known about the man in custody, but when you look about how preoccupied the uk, the world has been over coronavirus, is this something that agencies have been particularly worried about, and attack during a time of international crisis? it is an interesting observation, and only recently i was speaking to one of the leading insurers here in the uk, providing coverfor the leading insurers here in the uk, providing cover for terrorism at offences, and during the period of coronavirus we have seen a significant drop because we have not had credit places to be targeted, but from security made the security services and the police may have been focusing, since february or march of 2020, was looking at the

planning aspects, so who out there in the uk is possibly planning an attack, working from an internet perspective, because it is a high risk strategy to have a hostile attack on the ground. we do not have the foothold of the people in the area, but now as we see the country come out of lockdown and we are relaxing the rules and gathering together, maybe these attacks will start to materialise again. so what will the counterterrorist offices be doing at this very moment? there is a man in custody, we know his name, we know where he came from, talk us through what officers will be doing right now. there are a number of things that they can be doing currently, and that wouldn't happen as soon the notification came in yesterday evening... obviously throughout the night they probably focused on what i suggest is a forensic recovery of any sort of devices, computer, phone, so on, just to work out the background to

khairi saadallah, seeing if he is acting on his own, part of a wild group, and the speculation, obviously, looking out whether he was acting on his own, whether he was acting on his own, whether he was directed by someone else. wasn't in the uk or overseas? and there is no doubt they will be looking at links to any other liveon males, the manchester arena ballmer, —— the manchester arena ballmer, —— the manchester arena ballmer, so there will be a number of things that we will be a number of things that we will be a number of things that we will be looking at. i think what they will be focusing on is where is they will be focusing on is where is the wider picture and radicalised here in the uk or abroad. and despite the pandemic, officers will be assigned and constantly tracking and monitoring people who are on the radar? yes, absolutely, security services is only part of last year, we just services is only part of last year, wejust got services is only part of last year, we just got under 20,000 people of

interest a smaller number than that that we had it a closer level of observation, and we would be focused on that what we have been in this pandemic period, so early march and late february. as we said from experience it is very hard for those seeking to conducts acts of terrorism, it is hard for them to do hostile reconnaissance where in a few weeks you may have been one of 50 people at best, take it to january and he would have been one of 5000 people on the platform set it is hard to operate at this time, but public places are now becoming crowded again and this is where we could propel it —— potentially see the spread again and across europe as well. thank you very much for joining us on bbc news. in the past half

an hour its been announced that a further 43 people have died from coronavirus in the uk across all settings. there were no deaths in scotland or northern ireland. this is one of the lowest daily death tolls but figures are usually lower on sundays and mondays because of weekend reporting. the figures also showed a 1,221 further people have tested positive for the virus. spain has ended its state of emergency and has lifted coronavirus travel restrictions forforeign visitors from the european union and schengen zone countries and the uk. all arriving passengers will have their temperature taken at the airport, submit information on whether they have had the virus, and provide their contact details. simonjones reports. the beaches in barcelona look set to become a lot busier as locals are joined by visitors from abroad. spain is opening up to most other

european countries as a state of emergency is lifted, formally marking the end of a 3—month lockdown. anyone flying in, though, will face a rather different reception at the airport. there will be temperature checks and visitors will need to provide details of where they are staying. after a period of uncertainty, the spanish government has confirmed uk tourists will be able to visit without having to quarantine on arrival. well, we are discussing with the uk authorities to see if they would do the same on their side. we nevertheless are doing this out of respect for the 400,000 british citizens that have a second residence in spain and that are dying to benefit from their homes in our country. but despite the temptation of a socially distanced drink in the sun, the british government is still advising against all but essential travel abroad. and for the moment, people flying into the uk will have to spend two weeks in quarantine. spain, though, is desperate to get its tourism industry going again, so vital for the economy,

but this is a country that has seen more than 28,000 deaths from coronavirus. it says it will do all it can to ensure the safety and security of visitors, but the question now is how many will be tempted by a spot of sea and sangria, or will people decide to holiday at home instead? simon jones, bbc news. president trump has held his first campaign rally since the coronavirus outbreak began in the united states. turnout for the rally — in oklahoma — was much lower than mr trump's campaign had hoped for, and plans for him to address an outside gathering were dropped. earlier in the week, mr trump tweeted thati million people had signed up to attend the event, but many of the seats at the arena in were empty. our north america correspondent david willis reports. # i will gladly stand up next to you. ..# it wasn't entirely the comeback donald trump had been anticipating.

shortly after it emerged that six members of his campaign team had tested positive for the coronavirus, a warm—up event nearby was cancelled for lack of attendance. there were empty seats in the auditorium as well. size matters to this president, and he won't have been pleased. we begin ourcampaign. i just want to thank all of you. you are warriors. i've been watching... cheering. i've been watching the fake news for weeks now and everything is negative. booing. "don't go, don't come, don't do anything." today, it was like... i've never seen anything like it. chanting: black lives matter! the trump campaign blamed the empty seats on the presence of protesters outside, although their attendance was largely peaceful. despite fears the event could prove a super spreader of the coronavirus, most were not wearing masks. yet as covid—i9 cases continue to spike in this country, the president went as far as to suggest the testing effort was making his record look bad

and should be slowed down. here's the bad part. when you do testing to that extent, you're going to find more people, you're going to find more cases! so i said to my people, slow the testing down, please! his handling of the coronavirus crisis could prove crucial to his re—election chances. well as we've been hearing, president trump had tweeted that a million people had signed up for the event. now it's being claimed that teenagers and older people on tiktok and fans of korean pop music were behind the empty seats. earlier, i spoke to hyunsu yim — a reporterfor the korea herald — and he explained what happened. as you saw from the footage, lots of blue seats were empty and the lack of turnout garnered a great deal of

media attention and so did wyatt. what k pop fans dead is when the news broke about his rally, post quarantine, and how you can apply for the tickets, people on twitter who are fans of k pop, south korean music, started applying for the tickets as a joke with no intention of being there, and while it was happening on another app called tiktok, and other viral video by a woman in iowa was outlining ways to sabotage his rally in tulsa, oklahoma, so it was a collective effort to basically make sure that fewer people showed up to his rally. and i think there is a grandmother, is that right? she was driving this, a grandmother and is that right? she was driving this,

a grandmotherand in is that right? she was driving this, a grandmother and in the end almost 800,000 tickets were applied for, so president trump was not claim that more thani president trump was not claim that more than i million president trump was not claim that more thani million people... it is obviously not accurate, but he was 200,000 out, because that is what seem to be the case. yes, and there have been lots of evidence on my timeline of several k pop fans talking about being in on this joke and the long town republican strategist was talking on twitter about how his daughter had hundreds of tickets. so we do not know to exactly what degree the low turnout was as a direct result of this online effort, but all things .2 one direction, which there was a big online effort and many people helped. this was embarrassing, so it

worked, hugely embarrassing for the president, has ever been done before? well, k pop fans, because i ama before? well, k pop fans, because i am a second act reporter, k pop fans are very much politically active and progressive given the subculture, and within this month alone you saw how supportive they work towards a black lives matter movement and they also hijacked the white lives matter hashtag, they also flooded the dallas police department i watch as well. so k pop fans have been doing this, but in the run—up to the election i think we have been seeing more and more of their political influence, especially in north america. sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre,

let's go to catherine. a bumper day in the premier league. newcastle are leading in the first of three games. sheffield united have made the trip to st james' park — they went down to 10 men afterjohn egan was sent off. minutes later allan saint—maximin put the home side ahead. aston villa take on chelsea next, and then at 7 this evening league leaders liverpool return to action for the first time since the top flight resumed. for the first time since they're at everton in the merseyside derby, needing two victories from their remaining nine league matches to clinch the title. managerjurgen klopp says the enforced break will have an impact on their performance. u nfortu nately, unfortunately, it is not like riding a bike where you never lose that, you will be able to ride a bike till your last save her life, and it is

not like that with football because we have to bring 11 or more together to have the same idea and the same moment, nice things you have to train back. use have to see that this game has a great opportunity for us or try and win and to try and your dallas —— best, but you have to try and we want to try. from the premier league today. burnley have decided not to extend goalkeeperjoe hart's contract beyond the end of this month. having joined from manchester city back in 2018, he was only first choice for around four months, losing his place to nick pope after a 5—1 league defeat to everton, and he's madejust three appearances since, all coming in cup games. he was an integral part of city's two title—winning squads in 2012 and 2014, winning 75 caps for england.

leeds have missed the chance to go top of the championship after a 2—0 defeat at cardiff. a draw would have been enough to see them move ahead of west bromwich albion, but goals from junior hoilett and sub robert glatzel gave cardiff a valuable win — they are now outside the play—off places only on goal difference. lewis hamilton is setting up a commission to increase diversity in motorsport. in a column for the sunday times, he says he wants the hamilton commission to make "real, tangible and measurable change". the idea is to explore how the sport can be used to engage more young people from black backgrounds with science, technology, engineering and maths subjects. hamilton, a six—time world champion, says "the time for platitudes and token gestures is over". it promises to be an exciting finish to golf‘s rbc heritage event in california later. four players share the lead on 15 under heading into the final

round, and one of them is england's tyrrell hatton who made a bogey free 8 under par 63 yesterday. he's due to tee off at ten past 7 uk time it is obviously a packed lead of order, it won't be surprising tomorrow if someone around 20 of place goes out and shoots a potentially really low score to win the tournament. if the weather is the tournament. if the weather is the same, which i haven't seen the forecast, i think it will be a probably another low—scoring day, and i'm sure will be exciting to watch my comb on the tv. i'll be back with more throughout the afternoon. officials in germany say a spike in the country's coronavirus reproduction rate is because of a number of local outbreaks. most of the cases are in the western state of north rhine—westphalia — where more than 7000 workers from a meat processing plant have been quarantined. the army has been called in to help.
