the objective is to get this busy area of central london open again as quickly as possible.go on through the evening as they try to tie up anything that they might have missed in the in course of the complex investigation. as daniel was saying, from tomorrow you would expect the investigation to move away from here, very much into the background and relationships of khalid masood. what is also very visible, it's my first time down here today, just how many people are around going about their business. we have heard from the acting met police commissioner who has said that what has happened cannot be on done, but what is important is the response. people have been coming down to lay flowers just where we are broadcasting, many of them just coming out of their offices in fairly determined spirit. when i came into work this morning on the train, the same people i see every morning, getting on with it, as london tends to do, and making sure that we were not cowed in any way by what happened yesterday. it is quite interesting, christian, that where we are, westminster bridge, whi

central london. report of shots fired outside parliament. the house of commons was in session and the parliament was put on a lockdown. let's get more now from kelly cobiella. kelly, what do you know? >> lester, it looks as though there are two separate incidents now in central london. one of the westminster bridge, which is that very famous bridge you see leading to the houses of parliament across the thames. it appears a car hit several people, a crowd, on westminster bridge. at least five people were hit by that car. they're now being treated from what we understand, and a separate incident close to the houses of parliament where a man believed to have been armed with a knife threatened a police officer and was able to get into the confines of the parliamentary building. the leader of the house of commons has confirmed that that man was shot by police. that information has not yet been confirmed by met police. what we're hearing on the official channels of met police is that there is a firearms in

safe in this country, and they were reassured, i think, to see a lot more police with guns in central londonook at the metro. london stands united, head of faith leave vigil in wake of westminster carnage. that is our quick look at the front pages, but we'll be back again from more in—depth look at those headlines at 11:30pm with lan st michael. join us then if you can. next, the weather. we are in for a spell of settled weather this weekend, certainly looking promising both saturday and sunday. today has not been completely dry across south—western part of the uk, with some rain, but over the next 24 hours, the low pressure that has brought the rain for the last couple of days will finally start to pull away. so this is the rain—bearing cloud we had today in the south—west. you can see it rotating, pushing out towards the south—west, but temporarily through this evening and overnight, but temporarily through this evening and overnight, this front coming out this front coming out of france may hit the south coast anywhere from, say, portsmouth westwards. the majority of the country will have

everything is on lockdown in london, central london. authorities are investigating this as an on going incident. our sister station in london has just spoken to a witness. let's listen. >> we heard what we thought were gunshots. then we just saw the car just went up, plowed into people. there was a man behind the wheel. on the bridge, those people were just lying down. i would say maybe ten bodies. it all happened so quickly. we came up to the bridge. >> within minutes parliamentary proceedings were halted and the chamber locked down. >> i will suspend the sitting of the house. please wait here. >> the prime minister was rushed to safety by her protection detail. >> i have never seen the prime minister moved away by the biggest security plain clothed security police men i had ever seen. she had police all around her. took her very very quickly away. and we can see that she was taken to her car. weapons were produced by the security detail and she was very very rapidly moved to safety. >> police cleared the entire area around westminster

and in central london tonight, a vigil attended by thousands to remember all victims of the westminster and we're taking a look at how the developments are being reported in the papers. good evening. one of the most extensive police investigations of recent years has made swift progress today, following the terror attack at westminster yesterday. the attacker has been identified and the islamic state group has said it was behind the atrocity. the attacker was named as khalid masood, who was born in the uk. he was 52, and lived in the west midlands. he had come to the attention of the intelligence services in the past. there have been eight arrests so far — five men and three women — following raids overnight and today. tributes have been paid to those who lost their lives, including pc keith palmer. there are 20 people still in hospital. five are critically ill. tonight, we'll have the latest on the police investigation, and we'll hear from some of those caught up in yesterday's events. first, wejoin our special correspondent, lucy manning, in birmingham. well the police have moved back

is he aware that it really is a significant problem in parts of central london.esearch by central london amenities society show that 20% of housing stock has been lost and indeed in some blocks of flats, it is as high as 80%. my lords, is the answer to this is to have a tough licensing regime, which includes data—sharing, an opportunity to call out on problems and so on? will he discuss all these issues when he meets airbnb and report back to the house on the outcome of those discussions? my lords, first of all, as i have indicated, within london and certainly which is the situation the noble lord was citing, there are restrictions already. so i don't believe it is distorting the market in the way the noble lord suggests because there is that 90 day limit. but certainly, i will be discussing these matters when i do meet with airbnb. surely there is a great growth element in our economy, its tourism. families coming from abroad can have much more opportunity of seeing things in london if they get reasonably cheap bed and breakfast, or have airbnb, or what ever the

here with me at tavistock square in central london is one of the organisers, john rees.the nhs, why did you make that change? i think we realise the crisis in the nhs is not going away, it got worse than 2013, 2014, worse again the following year, worse again the following year, worse again the following year, worse again now. this is an absolute bedrock service that every working person who cannot afford private health care depends on for their health, livelihood and often their lives, so you cannot ignore this. it has been privatised, it has been cut. when did we ever hear of 19 whole hospitals being closed in one year? the government argues that another £10 million in real terms has been given to the nhs by the end of 2021, that these are straitened times, and unlimited versions of money are not available any more. the government has had enough money in successive budgets to reduce corporation tax in this country so that it corporation tax in this country so thatitis corporation tax in this country so that it is lower now, the lowest in europe and lower now than when

mark easton, bbc news, central london. lice in london say the attacks in westminster bridge and outside parliament looked to have been islamist terror related. the country's most senior terrorist officers say they know the identity officers say they know the identity of the attacker. four people were killed, more than a0 injured by a man who drove a car into pedestrians. he killed a policeman before he was shot dead. much more on all the international news any time on the bbc website. thank you for watching. good morning. we have an area of rain across the central and southern parts of england drifting its way further west through this morning and here we have temperatures up to six degrees. rain in southern scotland, wet and windy here in the north of scotland, the north—west in particular has light winds and clear skies and lower temperatures, reaching maybe —8 for some. the wet weather moves into the bulk of wales before eight o'clock in the morning and into parts of the south—west as well. the rain becomes light and pat

>> yes, i'm in central london at the moment. it does appear that this is some kind of terror incident because it does appear there were two incidents. in one a man got inside the grounds of westminster. remember, this is the seat not just the british government and parliament but of british democracy. he appears to have been armed with a knife. he was challenged by two police officers and it does appear that that is a sailant was shot by armed police. at around the same few hundred yards away, it seems that a vehicle is being described as a 4 x 4, a vehicle that would hit with considerable force, knocked down foblly five people on westminster bridge. there are pictures on social media and video on social media of some of the people lying on the ground. we don't know what condition they are in and so far the police have not given any details of injuries or indeed of -- appears to be a double incident. at the very center of british democracy and obviously london has been subject to terrorist attacks in the past and one's mind imme

a jd wetherspoon pub in central london. but what happened at this company is really interesting.to be on zero hours contracts, but the company decided to change and encouraged people onto guaranteed hours. yes, the number of people on zero hours is at a record, but lots of businesses are turning away from them. no—one wants to have their employment practices dragged through the media or even westminster, so i think weighing up the different options they have available to them is a really sensible approach. it is not great for employees. you know, we have seen that zero hours contracts workers tend to be paid less. if you're worried about putting food on the table and how many hours you will get, it is not the ideal recipe for a really motivated workforce. and that issue of low pay is worrying for this man, the chancellor, planning for his budget next week.

the tour guides that go along central london. it looks as though they were stopped from going anywhere and there were about to evacuate. >> it's worth bearing in mind that st. thomas hospital my a major teaching hospital just on the south bend is opposite the house of parliament. medical help is literally that close. just an apology as well, if any of our live pictures or images, which you may find distressing, you'd understand why. we are trying to bring you a sense of what's happening as quickly as possible. on the line now, richard tice who is an eyewitness. what did you see? >> good afternoon, i came out of westminster which is being locked down me. which ushered onto the bridge and looked across the west. literally, north to south, i counted between eight and ten figures on the ground. someone next to me said it was a car or vehicle who had driven along the whole pavement knocking people over and that's why there are many injuries or many people laying on the ground starting to be attended to by paramedics. literally, from n

but certainly, the impact here in central london, i cannot emphasize the police presence here. seen anything like it in my years living and growing up in london. >> how common is it to have a lockdown like this in parliament, willem? >> reporter: pretty rare. and you know, there's a huge amount going on in our legislature at the moment, as you can imagine, involving brexit. of hearings that have been suspended. the commons was in session when they said they heard shots fired. the leader of the house saying that this attack has taken place inside the security perimeter. policeman has been involved and assailant dealt with. it's unclear with parliament on lockdown what will happen to mps. there are reports that prime minister was hustled into a car and video emerging of that with eight undercovered officers helping her get into a vehicle. >> we know that a spokesman said they would trigger article 50 by the 29th. we know nothing at this point. i can't imagine many would be surprised if in fact this were related to at least the hearings. >> at the same time i look at this and wond

london right now? >> reporter: the streets are fairly quiet in this very central part of london. as you can see behind me, this is white hall here. down over my shoulder is big ben, the houses of parliament in the central area where all of this happened. this area has all been sort of core donned off. the people are gathered around the edges. but you rarely see central london looking like this. absolutely empty streets and obviously a vast police operation underway right now. as you heard from scotland yard, lester, this is an ongoing investigation now. they say they believe there is only one attacker, but as a precaution they are searching for any other possible suspect involved in this. this went down more than three hours ago now. that car going down westminster bridge, running into people, crowds of people on this bridge in the center of london that leads to the houses of parliament. 20 injured, there are some reports some of those injuries are catastrophic. four people killed including, it appears, the police officer who was stabbed at the houses of parliament. lester, this i

but some very startling scenes from central london. as we learn more we here are going to be bringing you more details on the attack and the identity of the attacker, steve. >> all right. matt bradley over there in london. matt, thanks for that. joining me now here in studio, michael balbony, former security advisor, thanks for taking a few minutes. any fatalities, injuries, it's a tragic situation. at the same time, being investigated as a potential terrorist attack. if that's what this was, we'll learn the scope of the planning, but people see a death toll of three in a place like that. the heart of london. it could have been worse, potentially. >> very much so. because what we're seeing now is the same type of operation that we've seen in france. we isn't that true germany where you take a car. make it into a weapon. you attack unarmed civilians. randomly without any type of warning. and then you -- you take a knife and you try to attack a very fortified building, i was in parliament and back in november, you know, it's not a place

the queen unveiled a memorial dedicated to both soldiers and civilians at a special service in central londonand what happened to the baby chimp rescued by a bbc investigation after being captured by traffickers? good evening and welcome to bbc news. the chancellor has been forced to defend his budget and the controversial changes to increase national insurance for self employed workers. that's despite a tory manifesto pledge not to raise national insurance. it's angered a number of conservative backbenchers and been roundly criticised by labour. there has been partial backing for the increase from the influential think tank the institute for fiscal studies, but overall it described the chancellor's plans as a sticking plaster rather than a fundamental review. our chief political correspondent vicki young has been following the day's events. he says he's backing business, but visiting the west midlands today the chancellor had to fend off accusations that he's bashing the workers who keep the wheels of the economy turning. putting up taxes is never popular, and this is going to be a hard sell
