9:02 pm
suspect trying to pin him to the ground and one my mother just to get the knife off the attacker who was then shot dead by a police officer it's not known it's now known that the attacker was wearing an electronic tag at the time of the attack he was being monitored by m i 5 and police correspondent shaadi edwards dashti has more on the story. mass evacuations happening from the office building surrounding the london bridge vicinity it was indeed a major incident earlier this afternoon the assistant police commissioner who confirmed it was terrorist related as you would expect due to the nature of the incident we responded as though this was terrorist related are now in a position that it has been declared a terrorist incident it is with the heaviest of hearts that i have to inform you that as well as the suspect who was shot dead by police. 2 of those injured in this attack. in the london bridge area have tragically lost
9:03 pm
lives the suspect who was also. a hoax explosives attached to him he was shot down at the scene on london bridge is understood that before he was shot down dead there are members of the public that were pinning him down that was video footage that emerged not reportedly at this moment in time as i say the incident broke out some 3 hours ago and since then there were convoys of emergency services flooding into the scene descending onto london bridge including counterterrorism offices at the time it was a precautionary measure of course now it's been confirmed as terrorist related but accompanying them was also a specialist armed force offices too as well as the ambulance services and indeed the fire brigade we understand that many victims are now being treated at hospitals for their injuries some of which are a serious level the place is still offering statements saying that the public must remain vigilant and stay calm at this moment in time as they say the incidents over
9:04 pm
it's no longer ongoing but of course earlier this afternoon there were scenes of absolute pandemonium and chaos rushing people. talking. i was. thinking about it yes it's a big slog. people rushing around calling every top 5 i should think of even. basic there was a lot going on the panic. like one of those county council i don't like a wave or something going on. and then suddenly everybody said go down into the basement and we saw taken down into a place with tools atomic now we've been evacuated well we have had some reaction then from the prime minister boris johnson clearly my thoughts 1st might. fall to 1st with the emergency services with the police the bravery they showed in going towards danger as they do i also want to pay tribute to the extraordinary bravery
9:05 pm
of those members of the public who physically intervened. well for more on this we can now cross live to brian terrell who is coordinator of voices for creative nonviolence look brian thanks for joining us it's been confirmed that the terrorist was wearing an electronic tag and have had a prior conviction for terrorism so surely questions are going to be honest as to why the old fart has failed to stop this tragedy. yes and already prime minister boris johnson has said you have. blamed the fact that this man who salman khan was released after a year in prison and maybe should not have been released as though. the prison sentence was not of deterrence the electronic monitoring the monitoring by the m i 5 in the police were not a deterrent. you know it's it's it's it's tragic it's think
9:06 pm
especially of the victims who are killed and i think about a young man who. in 2010 who was involved in a plot to bomb the stock exchange in london and has been in prison down for 8 years . what would make this act of desperation and and that's what it is a fake suicide vest is. actually this was. you know we can talk about. suicide by police he certainly was not going to just to survive this and he didn't he and i don't think he believed that he could or planned that he could survive. a little bit of research into him and he is. who some on condit we don't know much about him but he and 2010 she was inspired by the. american you many cleric anwar locky who in
9:07 pm
2011 was killed by a drone strike ordered by president obama in and yemen and a lockie was in 2001 after 911 he was very very public he was the voice of american muslims who were supporting the united states supporting the war in afghanistan supporting the anti terror measures and after a few years particularly due to the reports of torture of prisoners in guantanamo and the cia black sites and reports of of what was going on in the war in afghanistan and then the attack. on iraq was radicalized and turned to be a supporter of al qaeda and this is what inspired huisman khan at the time
9:08 pm
20 years old a very young man to be involved in a. very dodgy plot to to attack the the stock exchange so the roots of this are deep well if we're going to find out lots of details i'm sure of the next few days of a potentially what inspired this and as you say there's a lot of background has surrounding us mancala that's a little bit about that prison reform rehabilitation point because he just attended a conference on prisoner rehabilitation and do you think programs of that kind are effective when dealing with people like extremists. well yes and i really hope that it will be tragic if this turns people away from considering alternatives to prison. but i think it is the the the whole war on terrorism so-called the whole scene of very clearly by by many
9:09 pm
young people. as a war on a people and on a religion needs to be he needs to be redone we can't often in the united states we hear people say well we have to fight them over there so that we don't fight them here and it's a. it's a conceit it's a lie that we can fight a war not come home the of the effects of it are going to come come back here and we need to. you know the things that lads. to. take the desperate steps that he did in 2010 when he 1st got involved and in terrorism as a 20 year old person. these are not excuses they do not justify acts of terrorism but they are reasons and they need to be taken seriously and we're not
9:10 pm
going to be able to. tragic events like this are going to happen again and again so long as the root causes are not being addressed putting people in prison and monitors and. having them spied on. putting more people in prison now and getting rid of. of parole and release from prison and keeping more people locked up longer. is not going to make us any safer brian terrell coordinates of voices for creative nonviolence thanks for your thoughts on this and thank you to. a few alice off to those events unfolded in london 3 people were injured in a separate stabbing on the main shopping street in the hague in the netherlands the instance font panic among shop with.
9:11 pm
what we know so far is that the static incidents around $108.00 states easily. 3000 calls were interested those 3 people are all 3 of them are minors. at this moment we haven't. haven't arrested a suspect yet so we are really very busy. trying to find the suspect 63 people have been injured and yes indeed it is the main street the main shopping street in the hague now this is a friday night so it was bound to be packed with the shoppers but at the same time remember that it is the black friday night as well which. this jail of the whole thing which has led even more people out in the streets seeking for a good deal also adding to that is it's christmas time already in europe and for instance here in france there's plenty of christmas markets all christmas markets
9:12 pm
have been open and operational for quite a while now and it's the same in the netherlands so that being the main shopping street and being called a mark which means that the market well it was again it was bound to be packed with people and we've heard some reports that the attacker apparently it looked like that he he had wanted to injure as many people as possible now initially the dutch police they issued the issued a statement saying that they had been looking on for a suspect between 40 and 50 years old and wearing a gray jogging suit we do know that the police are still looking for the suspect we have seen a video of dutch police a branding some man but we have not had any can. whether or not that person is indeed the suspect wanted in connection with this attack on the main street now
9:13 pm
again no one has been officially confirmed to be taken into custody in connection with that but again there was a bit of a scare adding up to what how abundant london tonight as well. now turning some other headline news the mayor of a small town in bolivia who was brutally assaulted by a more parents return to work pretty artsy recently left hospital and images of the attack have been posted on social media highlighting the dangers faced by politicians are loyal to the ousted leader of a murder alice and a warning that you might find some of the following scenes of setting. up the start of november after setting the town hall on fire and the morale as activists paraded her bare furt cut her hair in public and then sprayed it red during the 4 hour ordeal she was made to kneel and sign a resignation letter and she told of being treated for kidney damage sustained from the blows she received. when the what happened was disgusting i am
9:14 pm
now recovering from renal damage that i suffered during the assault and i am still in pain the also cut off my hair they beat me up but they can change my views everything was so confusing at that moment many of them covered their faces but we recognise some of them it was sad to see all those people attacking me it's been a difficult time for my children to see their mother in such a condition i don't want this to happen again. or bolivia is now facing political uncertainty the self-appointed right wing government of senator janine and years has already been accused of abuses ever morale is resigned after the country's military suggested that he step down and that was on the back of a wave of protests following october's election and allegations of voter fraud his supporters protest what they see as a coup during the country's post election on. the rest 34 people were killed and more than 800 injured patricio assaye again says that the violence must be stopped

9:16 pm
violent protests across the country with people demanding a change of government they've been angered over poor services unemployment and chronic corruption more than 300 people have been killed and thousands more have been injured since the rallies began last month analyst at gulf state analytics alice andre bruno believes the p.m.'s resignation won't solve iraq's problems. i don't think that the situation will change considerably in fact i think this is a you know what they call a pyrrhic victory yes they've got the agreement sort of prime minister to resign but what will actually change for iraqis particularly under streets i don't think anything will change. given the structural problems infrastructure is failing there is not enough money to pay public. salaries 2 the economy has not changed at all in the past ever since the american invasion until.
9:17 pm
a serious reconstruction program begins i don't think the so-called democracy can do anything to fix the real problems facing iraqis. the european union has made much in recent years on the issue of climate change bob has all these advantages supplants has been finding out they don't appear to be practicing what they preach is the people have gathered behind me in large numbers to participate in a post called friday's for future it's aims to bring more awareness on climate change the topic is becoming ever more popular with a lot of people getting in on the acting including hollywood stars activists politicians and european union lawmakers recently the european union even where it went as far to the clay or a state of climate and environmental emergency if there's one area the world needs
9:18 pm

9:19 pm
streets so how is this reducing seal to emissions well a german politician says he felt the way to stop this costly practice according to the treaty of amsterdam the parliament has to have a seat in stroudsburg not specifically in the city of strasburg he went as far as making a you tube video to prove his point he got a champagne bottle smashed it in the seat of parliament in brussels and he called it strauss work so it seems like the problem is solved so from this day on this planet. shall be known as. we asked people what they think about the e.u. lawmakers schedule i think it's. their lives they should travel like every month like for one week i think it will change because france wants to have this so it's not going to change there should be one european parliament and this will be one place where it's located it's really bad they said just decide to stay in one place
