passons green station on the district line of the chew in the south west of london busy time of the day this. slightly odd with this is that a white bucket or something looking very much like you blew up leaving several people injured and passengers fleeing for terror you see those live shots the chopper in the sky over the very trainability there's a closer in shot of it just now the actual carriage where that explosion i wouldn't says at the scene this. injured passengers being treated there they told of a fire ball going down inside the carriage at one. time and this is a chick who's a correspondent she's heading there now let's talk to on the phone see what more we can get from london about this the police the rome police on the scene there but the being very cautious about saying people shouldn't jump to any conclusions about what this was but the pictures of that thing that exploded did look mighty all didn't they look like some sort of bucket with why is sticking out of it may be a mist when i picture is that well definitely you know that have obviously just occurred very recentl

it looks very unusual from the outset that a line like this district line in southwest london in an affluent part of london would be perhaps the intended target however saying that the london underground during rush hour is an easy target at the same time the train was packed full of people when it comes to the views and opinions of the likes of to reason my. britain's foreign minister of course it's going to be an absolute priority for them to call for calm of course people are still very very wary but given that the government have not decided to ramp up the severity of the security level here in the u.k. does give you an idea that they believe that they are in control of this situation crucially i think we have to reflect on what happened at the manchester attack a few months ago when it was leaked to the us media the actual name of the suspect sound man a baby at the time that cause a huge diplomatic rift between the british government and washington it's absolutely paramount for the british authorities to remain in control of this information so they're very wary about any kind of meddl

the blast happened on a district line train at parsons green station packed with commuters, at aboutight of the rush hour. police say an improvised explosive device was detonated. pictures from inside the tube show a white container inside a supermarket bag, on fire, with wires or lights protruding from it. the blast doesn't appear to have caused extensive damage to the carriage itself, but eye witnesses have described seeing a "wall of flame". matthew price is at the scene. we'll go to him shortly, but first of all, we will hear from david nelson. david nelson was travelling on the train. he's been telling us what he saw. basically, we just pulled into parsons green so the doors opened, everyone panicked, tried to get off the tube, there was a lot of pushing and shoving, people falling over, being trampled. we just ran as far as we could away, to be honest. everybody obviously thought there was some kind of terrorist attack. well, we just saw flames and heard a loud pop so you don't really take risks, do you? you just go for it and get off. can you tell us something about the other

it's on the district line and error stops further down the line which would be locations that they mightof people coming off the train itself. there is that thing in trying to be as calm as we can. this is the fifth attack in the uk, fourof them can. this is the fifth attack in the uk, four of them in london, one in manchester and maybe lord evans, the former director of m15, was right when he said we could experience this for 20 or 30 years. five successful attacks, but we also understand that around five or six attacks the police say have been thwarted and that those are progressing through the court system. so there are intelligence su ccesses . system. so there are intelligence successes. and presumably, intelligence, and what they might glean from what happened here, they have a partially exploded package which that the vital notjust building up a picture of the personal people involved in this but also a wider picture that will feed into that intelligence gathering perspective. figures were released yesterday on the number of arrests for terrorism so it shows how proactive. i'm awa

it's almost square of the district line in southwest london or an affluent and somewhat quiet part of london but it is of course also potentially an easy target the blast happened eight twenty in the morning at the height of rush hour the underground of course you know a very easy target for anybody wanted to cause as much damage as possible all of that of course now very much in the hands of the or thirty's as we've learned from previous incidents including the attack in manchester the police will want to be as much of control or in control of their information as possible ok on the one hand they're pleading to the public for information but when it comes to names for instance when it comes to the possibility of others being involved in this is crucial for intelligence officers and we know that m i five were involved in this for them to remain on top of and in control whatever details are uncovered in these crucial coming hours may have thank you very much for that finale that certainly barkha joining us live from london let's get more on this now with the head of our senior research

the district line that the chewed line goes through just southwest of london it's the line that's green on the famous chu map that is just being suspended in between school when both of bronze which goes down to the screen i'm afraid that's pretty much all we have at the moment ok so i understand you're trying to gather more information and again we're just kind of seeing a little bit of the scene outside that your understanding is there were some sort of injuries at this particular underground station we don't know but we don't know for sure what caused them and as of now the green line is the line you're saying is shut down as obviously authorities try to assess the situation is that about about where we are right now barnaby. that's about where we are yes and to be even more specific it's a branch of the district in which we spoke softly in different directions and in russia on the beach the branch that goes down to. flames a call to the time is told him and. it's got bronze that has been suspended and that is pretty much on the freighter we know the moment ok well then what we're go

the device detonated at 820 this morning at parsons green station on the district line in south westdon. my colleague matthew price is there. thank you very much indeed. the section of the london tube network on which this explosion took place is actually overground, not underground like much of the network. it is a couple of hundred metres behind me, down this road where, at the moment, police and forensic officers are going through the scene of the explosion to try and piece together what happened and what sort of device this was. we have already had some sort of analysis, through from the police on that, they called it an improvised explosive device, essentially a home—made bomb. eyewitnesses say there were wires coming out of a white builder's bucket in a supermarket plastic shopping bag. we are also hearing from bbc sources that they believe there was a time of some sort attached to the device. as you say, it was exploded in the peak of the rush—hour when many, many people were on the train, but perhaps because it happened at a train station above ground people could then get of

the rest of the tube, most of it is running, it's just whar inteef the district line that's severely affected at the moment. but that does have knock-on effect. if there were concerns about other potential devices that might be out there we would be hearing about much wider network closures on the london underground, we are not hearing that at this stage which is something to be thankful for. you mentioned that t prime minister has been kept up to date regully with what has happen he. i would imagine that withinhe coming hours, we may well have a meeting of the crisis cabinet cobra where if not prime minister, senior officials or members of police and intelligence services will be there. it goes the way we think it may be heading now which is the very only news sign that is this may have been explosive device on that the trip carriage. >> unfolding incident in london as parsons green station in london following reports of explosion of underground train this morning. of course, at this stage on the line the tubes are, in fact, are aboveground which is why we are able to bring aerial p
