a terrorist. plus fridays for future global again thousands of young people take part in rallies around the world the call to action comes ahead of next week's un climate summit in madrid and a poll litter called mayhem in that montage where prime minister joyce of muscat reportedly plans to resign imminently once a deepening crisis sparked by a journalist murder and goldsmiths closest allies we're in the capital to let up. on iraq thank you so much for your company everyone always start off in london where police say they have shot and killed a man wearing a hoax explosive device on london bridge after at least 5 people were injured in a stabbing attack while footage posted on social media shows a man in civilian clothes or wrestling with a person believed to be the attacker. surrounded by armed police other civilians

back away one of them appears to be holding a large knife of what it also shows police checking a white truck which is parked across london bridge emergency services including ambulances were quickly after the scene a london them metropolitan police gave this update earlier this evening. a male suspect was shot by specialist dog officers from the city of london a place and i can confirm that this suspect died of say. a number of other people received injuries during this incident as soon as we can provide further updates on their condition we well as you would expect due to the nature of the incident we responded as though this was terrorist related i'm now in a position to confirm that it has been declared a terrorist incident due to reports that the suspect may have have an explosive device specialist officers also attended the say and white cauldrons are in place to ensure there remains no further danger to the public however i can confirm at

this time we believe that a device that was strapped to the body of the suspect is a hoax explosive device. tense evening and there in the heart of london daily correspond charlotte potts is a following of developments very closely for you charlotte what more have you learned. well it was a busy day today black friday so a shopping day lots of tourists our employees that this london bridge leads into the heart of the financial center here in london with many banks and insurance companies and the big skyscrapers there and in the midst of all that a male suspect started stabbing several individuals we don't know how many people were indeed injured at this point but they are being treated in the hospital surrounding london bridge so this male suspect was then wrestled by a civilian and subsequently shot and killed by police on the scene and as we've just heard there from the police officer himself this suspect appeared to

be wearing a suicide vest that sets what witnesses responded and it turned out to be fake but this is one of the reasons why police here are treating this as a terror incident the counterterrorism unit is investigating at the moment and this is what we know so far from the police now in the meantime also the mayor of london mr said you can also are reacting to what has unfolded earlier on. what he's. about the images we've seen is the breathtaking heroism of members of the public who literally run towards danger the day will come for to them we do know from the statement given by this is interesting. that there appears to be a device on the suspect that is the public didn't realize at the time it was a hoax device and they really are the best of us another example of the bravery and

heroism of that is running towards danger risking their own personal safety trying to save others or say thank you to them. all and that is but also because it shows the best of us. right i mean a lot of people now charlotte are talking about those bystanders who without any hesitation went to the suspect and pinned him down what are london are saying about that. well they find this act quite heroic of cause of those of bystanders that were heckling or wrestling that suspect because of course at that point it appeared that he had a suicide vest on him and they could not have known that that was fake i think london us in general are quite brindisi to that nobody appeared to have died in this incident but it brings back memories for the city memories of 2007 when the city was rattled by a number of terror attacks on london bridge one of them one incident happened also on london bridge with 3. as 3 people close to the islamic state drove

a van and 2 passengers and then started stabbing people at a market nia by this incident and by the way these these people back then that were carrying it out they were also wearing fake suicide vests so there appears to be some link between those 2 incidences that the police is now an investigating but overall again the city is used to these incidences and that is why the police has been so quick to respond and has now been and hansing off course it's produced presence across the city and the area around london bridge is widely cordoned off it appears that the situation is not ongoing any more about of course police are making sure that there are no other people involved in this incident and all of this happening less than 2 weeks before the general election charlotte pos reporting from london thank you. i want to turn our attention now to developments

in iraq which has been in the grip of bloody anti-government grassroots protests that took a dangerous turn on thursday well in response to what happened on that day iraq's prime minister abdullah abdullah he says he will represent he will present rather his resignations of parliament so lawmakers can pick a new government while the move comes after a reeks of anti government protests the death toll since the unrest broke out has now surpassed $400.00 will demonstrators across the nation have taken to the streets a since early october to protest against government corruption and wham pened unemployment what really we had the opportunity to a catch up were journalist i'm stuff a silly move the washington post in the iraqi a capital baghdad and asked him if those developments that today's developments will calm the unrest. no it's not going to come down here but that there is actually it's going to create the more egregious numbers when i went there today to check the square they were celebrating they were tears of joy that they finally

accomplished something but they're saying that this is not what they came for it only come for like pushing away the prime minister they want to overthrow the whole system they want to change because they want to change the election law in a way that allowed them to directly elect their prime minister not in this way when they voted for a party and the parties have colluded with each other and nominate someone they want to change the constitution and the election low i would then they will they want to have an early elections which is not going to happen unless the parliament would vote on that and oppose a cell which hasn't been done yet there are things that all the step why they are saying that it's a victory for them because if i leave a message after 2 months of our best think around 400 people died i thought of the violence they voted to do this but it's not enough for them they are seeking for more while some post reporter. reporting from the iraqi capital baghdad well
