terrorist attacks we've seen across the uk and they want more protection and that is something that they are getting. police announcing that they will be deploying more resources, more patrols toward the mosques surrounding the mosques across london. prime minister teresa may say thg is investigated as a terrorist incident. she will be holding a cobra meeting. this is the equivalent of a white house situation room. the police force to try to piece together what happened to try to determine whether there's any more risk to the public. but at this stage there are no other suspects except for the man who is now in custody. they will be questioning him looking into whether he had any mental issues. for now the situation under control but obviously an investigation still undergoing. combing through the evidence trueing to piece together exactly what happened in a city and a country that has suffered so much, so soon.
