parliament square has been cordoned off. well a few minutes ago london's metropolitan police made this statement to the press. driver of the fiesta who was allowed in the vehicle was arrested at the scene by armed officers who were already named. the man is in his late twenty's and he's been arrested on suspicion of terrorism offenses and has been taken to a south london police station where he remains in custody. given that this appears to be a deliberate the method and this being an iconic sites we are treating it as a terrorist incident and the investigation is being led by officers from the counterterrorism. office is a search of the vehicle and no other weapons have been found of this time. at this stage of the investigation no other suspects at the scene have been identified or reported to police there is no intelligence at this time of london has told the

rest of the u.k. connected to this incident. let's cross over to london where a correspondent kitty logan joins is kitty we're just hearing a statement there from the metropolitan police in london about this incident what more can you tell us about the way that this incident unfolded we heard there that the police assume that it was a deliberate act. that's right and much possibly something very quick to charge the man they arrested and it's morning immediately after that incident took place is interesting to note they say they don't know the man's identity at this stage they think he's not cooperating with the interrogation at this point in time police do believe he was acting alone which is significant because that of course this is very early on in the investigation they will now be desperately searching for more evidence of forensic evidence that vehicle to any any connection that this particular suspect may have to any wider network but of course that police do now

as we heard that statement are working on the assumption that this is a terror related incident they have charged a suspect with terrorism offenses one interesting remark by the metropolitan police that city because the location of this happened right outside the houses of parliament a prime target of course to any possible terror network that's going to help police released any information about the people who were injured. yes we have a little bit more detail about that three people caught up and injured in this particular incident they were passes by two were taken to hospital that was convenient early on the london avenue in service one of those injured people remains in hospital one has since been released none of the injured have suffered life threatening injuries so at this point in time one person remains in the hospital three times what injured what we don't yet know is who was the target of this attack the house the parliament had substantial security barriers in the legs

and in particular since the incident last year twenty seventeen at the moment it's not quite sure it's not quite clear who this suspect was targeting anyone in particular at all what's the situation around the problem of building right now i can imagine that security must be very tight. standard procedure in these situations for police to city effectively into lockdown in the area where the incident happened every is cordoned off and he was transported stations shut down buses are not running through that area this is primarily at one security and safety of the public will that have. been a danger to the public but of course the investigation can proceed to swiftly as possible without any interruption. ok kitty kitty logan there for us in london thank you so much thought. now

national security forces on the ground essentially army and afghan national police there are quite a few casualties what we hear from families that managed to leave town or corpses lining the streets the regional hospital is overwhelmed with corpses and wounded as well we have no clear indication of how many are dead and how many are wounded at this stage but obviously government is saying we're managing to drive them out but we have to be careful because we want to avoid to cause civilian casualties so it's so it seems to be road to road house to house clearance operations going on plus asterix so while that major battle is going on there's other violence in the country as well we're hearing of another taliban attack on an army base in the north of the country fighting across the country appears to be increasing what's behind the upsurge well it has been a very potent insurgency for many years now and what we're seeing here is the

taliban basically telling everyone look if you want to have us at the negotiating table number one we don't want to negotiate with the afghan government we want to negotiate with the americans directly we want those international troops to leave the country and they want to do that by showing that they are you know a force to be reckoned with you know they are strong they want to bargain from the position of strength. and there has been a lot of talk recently whether or not there will be a second truce coming up with the festival of sector fison august twenty first and as it looks now i think we're miles away from that so you say that the afghans are trying to or rather the taliban are trying to present themselves with a show of force to strengthen their possible negotiating position what are the prospects for any sort of negotiation whether it's directly with the americans or as you say the taliban want or with the afghan government there has been movement but for years now we have talks about talks about talks about talks and nothing

ever really materialized so as of now what we do have as a very frank situation what they do have is a french government and this attack on hosni once again basically proved to the people that they're electing one thing and that is security and what this is doing is undermining the strength of government and strengthening the propaganda of the taliban just briefly and you know afghanistan quite well do you get the sense that the situation there is becoming more or less stable after so many years and so much international effort to bring stability to that country more stable i wouldn't say the best think would be to you know somehow contain the status quo but the status quo of the billions spent is not a good one so thank you so much for bringing us of the sunday papers run there our correspondent with a lot of background in afghanistan thanks for being with us. just remember a reminder of the top story we're following for you here today on d w news police in the u.k. are treating a car crash outside the houses of parliament as an act of terrorism amanda lifts to
