sir keir starmer speaking just a few moments ago at downing street. the background to this, our correspondent danny savage reports. an attack on young children attending a summer holiday dance class on an ordinary street in an ordinary town. some of the girls fled, terrified, into this man's home. they ran across to me and said, "i've been stabbed. i think i'm going to die." so i just took them all in the house, locked the door, and i ran back over there to see what i could do. these are the children who died. bebe king was six years old. elsie dot stancombe was seven. alice aguilar was nine. yesterday, axel rudakubana pleaded guilty to their murders. he also admitted attempting to murder ten other people, including eight children, producing a biological toxin, ricin, and possessing terrorist materials. rudakubana's trial should have started today, but because he changed his pleas yesterday, no jury will be sworn in. he will be sentenced on thursday. he seemed to be destined for better things as a child. this is him dressed as doctor who in a children

sir keir starmer speaking not too long ago at downing street.olitical correspondent, henry zeffman was listening to the prime minister's speech. what the prime minister said was pretty significant, i think this was one of the big moments of his six or so months in downing street so far because he started with addressing the horrific, brutal, he called them, murders committed by axel rudakubana to which he pleaded guilty in liverpool yesterday, but then he broadened it out much more, talked about the changing nature of terrorism, said that where once you might�*ve terrorist activities committed by people with a clear allegiance to a terrorist group such as al-qaeda, he said you have loners, misfits, young men in their bedrooms and he questions whether the kind of legal architecture of the state has kept pace with that. lord anderson kc, previously an independent adviser to the government on terrorist legislation, it was announced, will look at the prevent counterterrorism system which as we now know failed to pick up axel rudakubana after he was

that is bourbon street just down the block there, that is the iconic bourbon street where the attackre seeing fbi investigators coming in and out. the coroner's van right there, the flood lights to continue working through the night. this is one of the most lively areas for tourists in the entire country. there are still tens of thousands of people around the french quarter, and security remains very tight and very tense, especially given the fact this suspect likely did not act alone and there could very well be coconspirators still on the run tonight, mary. >> mary: trevor ault tracking it all from new orleans tonight, thank you. stay with abc news for continuous updates from new orleans on abc news live, abcnews.com, and the latest on "gma" in the morning. i'm mary bruce. have a good night.3, and the la "gma" in the morning. i'm mary bruce. have a good night. right now, well, this person committed a terrible assault on the city. >> the spirit of our new orleans will never, never, never be defeated. >> optimism from president biden after the deadly attack in new orleans. plus an ex

3:15 a.m, a man intentionally drove around barricades, possibly those bollards on bourbon street, driving down bourbon street with the intention to harm and kill people. ten people have died, more than 30 at area hospitals. the man then exchanged gunfire with nypd officers. it is our understanding through sources, this person who is not identified, has been shot and killed. at this time. two nypd officers also shot and injured. the police superintendent says they are both in stable condition at an area hospital. we do have aubry killion at usc. we're going to get to him in just one second. we also have numerous crews all over the city of new orleans. my brother fletcher mccall, as well as anum siddiqui and brittney verner. we are going to get to you in just one second. let's go back to cassie. sherm, before we get to aubry at umc. yeah, travers, we are just seeing for the first time at least, what bourbon street looks like from here. i'm on canal and bourbon street. we're about a two minute walk from where that scene happened, and i'm heartbroken. i really am heartbroken. what we're seeing rig

street. a man intentionally drove a vehicle around barricades, down a packed bourbon street killing 10 people and injuring 30 more people who are at area hospitals. we have the very latest information. we have crews all over the metro area right now to bring you the very latest. let's get live -- i believe we're going to fletcher first who is in the french quarter. fletcher, you just heard those details. the fbi said they did find ieds. not something you hear about in a major city especially new orleans in the french quarter. >> reporter: no, and we showed you some images, we were on bourbon street on the corner of bourbon and orleans and we were moved to dauphene about a block away because we were by a state police trooper who noticed what he felt like was a suspicious package so they moved the perimeter back at least a block because they are being vigilant and hypersensitive because of what was just detailed by the police superintendent and law enforcement officials and they certainly want to prevent any type of second attack as well. right now most of the streets here in the french quarter

donald —— downing street has said that donald trump and sir keir starmer have agreed to meet soon.phone yesterday for the first time since the inauguration of donald trump last week. it was a diplomatic victory for sir keir starmer that this call took place this week. he has not spoken to any other european leader yet. sir keir starmer is the first and that has been taken as a diplomatic achievement by the uk government. it does sound, both from the readout as it is termed that we got from downing street and the one from the white house that it was a fairly warm conversation. they talked about the middle east and sir keir starmer prayed donald trump about bringing the ceasefire and hostage release deal. they talked about the economy and that sir keir starmer talked about his plans to deregulate the uk economy. that was clearly an temp two appeal to donald trump as my sensibilities. we also know that they talked about the royal family because when it comes to the uk it is always worth remembering that donald trump, whose mother was scottish, absolutely loves and has deep affection f

this willl be news welcomed by politicians at downing street especially.ure when it comes to uk borrowing costs and also the value of the pound. is likely to shift that instability in the markets? it will help, already that it's coming through that market expectations for interest rates in the uk and uk government bond deals have borne a bit following the release of these figures. but it is important to take a step back. the big swings in financial markets in the last few weeks and months haven't really been a uk centred issue. it has been led by the us economy. that has been stronger than people expected and there were worries the policies of the incoming trump administration will add to inflation and government borrowing in the us and that has caused markets to revise the outlook for uk interest rates, a shift to higherfor longer, leading to higher bond deals in the us, a strong dollar against everything at the uk is being caught in the slipstream of that. the adjustment to a higher real interest rate world. the us sets the weather for financial markets

running down the street, parallel— developments. lel with _ developments. running down the street, parallelwith us, - street, parallel with us, bourbon street, the very wary —— well—known thoroughfare in your lanes, the drug accelerated at pace and began to plough into the partygoers just after three o'clock in the morning on new year's day. the police are continuing to look for evidence here, and what we now know is much more about the background of shamsud—din jabbar, more than a decade of us military service, his deployment to afghanistan, and a sense of his life in the years afterwards, the youtube video has emerged of him four years ago talking about his work as an estate agent, real estate agent, but also talk about his time in the military and a sense in which his life had possibly gone off the rails to some degree, in his personal life, having got divorced, more details emerging, but investigators will be looking into that. and then you have the possibility of accomplices in the search going on and we heard from the louisiana

it was a very carefully planned response from downing street. elon musk is notjust downing street.world's which is man, notjust world's which is man, notjust world's which is man, not just the owner of social media platform x. in two weeks, he will play a key part in donald trump's incoming us administration. the tight rope that keir starmer is having to always needing to respond to the criticism. without wanting to upset donald trump. the us government very careful to maintain relationships with them. i suppose that is the path that keir starmer is trying to walk and i suppose it struck me that this was a very carefully planned and worded intervention to what seemed like an off—the—cuff question. harry, thank you very much. harry, thank you very much. harry farley there. justin trudeau has announced he'll step down as the prime minister of canada and as the leader of his party. he's been in office for nine years. he also announced the temporary suspension of parliament. mr trudeau has been under pressure to resign for months, with more than 20 fellow members of his liberal party p

this area right here between canal street, this giant wide avenue coming right down the middle of newrleans, where it turns there onto bourbon street, that really is is a nexus that matters a great deal. they had a parade there yesterday afternoon for the sugar bowl in this area. and so so when you turn there onto bourbon street, that's where the crowd first starts to pick up. if this truck had been, oh, 2 or 3 blocks further down bourbon street, away from canal, working its way into the town, the crowds would have likely been even larger. uh, over the years there has been a real effort to stop vehicular access to that whole area. bourbon street is typically closed, except for some service vehicles, just virtually all the time. i mean, it's opened some, but for that purpose, mainly it's closed and the cross streets to it are typically closed. and when big events are happening, you will see the barricading of the streets not only by permanent, you know, well, movable, but barricades that are in place to stop traffic going down there, but also big dump trucks and things put there to sto

this is a crisis made in downing street _ is a crisis made in downing street. ~ ,, street.stride there very clearly setting out - street. so mel stride there very clearly setting out the j very clearly setting out the case for the prosecution, as it were. from rachel reeves's point of view she was actually quite keen to make this statement to mps today because i think she wanted to take on some of these wider criticisms that had been swilling around in parliament and in the papers andindeed in parliament and in the papers and indeed some of the grumbles on their own backbenches. the approach she took is more effectively the best form of defence is attack. i have been under no illusion about the scale that we face. after 14 years of stagnant economic growth, higher debt and economic uncertainty, and we have seen global economic uncertainty play out in the last week. but leadership is not about ducking these challenges. it is about rising to them. the economic headwinds that we face are a reminder that we should indeed, we must go further and faster in our plan to kick start

more than ten people tragically killed on bourbon street during this mass-casualty event, maybe 27 more sent to the hospital as somebody drove a car right down street. we also know that shots were fired. when is this press conference expected to start? i think people are trying to get clarity and real information from nopd superintendent ann kirkpatrick and from the state police in colonel robert hodges. >> reporter: right. travers. nopd superintendent ann kirkpatrick is supposed to come out and address us here. that is when i will ask her all of those questions and run those numbers by her like you mentioned. at least ten people killed, almost 30 people hurt. i will ask exactly those questions to her to get those numbers confirmed. other things that i plan on asking her are all around -- all around social media and witnesses i have spoken to tell me that they witnessed a white f-150 plow on to bourbon street, running over so many people, that is also something that i do want to confirm with her. we've been standing out here for about half an hour now so i do want toell you what we've been noticing. i've seen of course dozens of nopd officer

that white pick-up truck moving down the street moving towards the directions we're in before moving towards this junction here. let me be very clear about this point. this was an act of terrorism. it was premeditated and an evil act. this is a lone actor. therefore, we are confident that we can open bourbon street and the rest of our city. new orleans pauses to remember - tonight, a minute's silence at the superdome to remember the victims of the new year's day massacre. the fbi say the driver of the truck that killed 14 people on burbon street, was 100% inspired by isis. we will bring you reaction from the city, including the eye witness account from two very lucky survivors. also tonight - the flood waters subsiding in northern england but freezing temperatures hampering the clean-up and rescue, with new snow and ice alerts in place for large parts of the country. and 166 million years old - the enormous dinosaur foot prints discovered in an oxfordshire quarry. good evening, the fbi say they have a much clearer picture of the events leading up to the terrorist attack in new orlean

joining me tonight are guto harri, former downing street director of communications for prime minister borisjohnson, bassima alghussein, executive director, the middle east policy council and former congressional advisor in the obama administration. first, the latest headlines... president biden says negotiators are on the brink of a deal to secure the release of hostages and achieve a ceasefire in gaza. israeli and hamas negotiating teams are reportedly working in the same building in guha. firefighters are preparing for wind gusts to pick up again in los angeles, with fears they could spread devastating fires further into residential areas. sir keir starmer says artificial intelligence will boost economic growth and deliver public services more efficiently. he's been outlining his government's plans to make the uk a world leader in the field. the bbc finds some workers in china making clothes forfast fashion brand, shein, are labouring more than 75 hours a week. factory workers said most had just one day off a month. shein — one of the world's biggest fashion retailers — says it's co

it did involve a man driving a pickup truck down bourbon street. it was a fast pace and intentional behavior. he was trying to run over as many people as he could. >> bill cassidy with this message last hour. >> we have to hunt the terrorists down, bring them to justice and live on with our lives and not let them stop us doing what we normally do. >> bryan: david spunt on the federal investigation. first, alexis mcadams on the details as they develop. alexis? >> yeah, the death toll has stayed at ten. also we know there's more than 35 people that were injured. what were their injuries? they could have been severe we're told and transferred to local hospitals or they could have been from trying to run during this chaos. you have to put yourself out there. at 3:00 a.m., people were partying. they heard gunshots and the ramming from the truck that went in the crowd. people were trying to run for their lives. listen. >> what i can also tell you is that this man, this perpetrator, he fired on our officers from his vehicle when he crashed his vehicle. two

in an address from downing street, sir keir said the public inquiry into the killings would seek to answericult questions". the responsibility for this barbaric act lies, as it always does, with the vile individual who carried it out. but that is no comfort. and more importantly, it is no excuse. and so, as part of the inquiry launched by the home secretary yesterday, i will not let any institution of the state deflect from their failure. failure which, in this case, frankly leaps off the page. for example, the perpetrator was referred to the prevent programme on three separate occasions — in 2019 once and in 2021 twice. yet on each of these occasions, a judgment was made that he did not meet the threshold for intervention, a judgment that was clearly wrong and which failed those families. and i acknowledge that here today. throughout this case to this point, we have only been focused on justice. if this trial had collapsed because i or anyone else had revealed crucial details while the police were investigating, while the case was being built, while we were awaiting a verdict, then the vi

getting to the junction here with bourbon street, this very famous thoroughfare in the historic part of new orleans. he took a right and accelerated quickly downhere. as i was making my way back from the fireworks after ringing in the new year to bourbon street, i did notice that they had hydraulic bollards that are supposed to go up and block any car traffic from entering the area. unfortunately, they weren't engaged, they were down. i actually walked directly through it. last night, president biden said he was being briefed by the authorities. the law enforcement and intelligence community are continuing to look for any connections, associations or co—conspirators. we have nothing additional to report at this time. dozens were wounded in this attack, including two police officers hit by gunfire. police evacuated a wide area and say they found a potential explosive device in the truck, and other possible devices outside it, before they carried out controlled explosions. the fbi says the attack is being investigated as an act of terrorism. an isis flag was located on the trailer hitch of the vehicle, and the fbi is working to identify the subj

he's planning to sign what downing street is calling a landmark, hundred—year partnership which formalisesc and military support for kyiv. sir keir previously visited ukraine when he was leader of the opposition in 2023, and has hosted president zelensky twice at downing street since entering office. 0ur eastern europe correspondent, sarah rainsford in kyiv. quite a lot of contact between volodymyr zelensky and keir starmer but this is his first visit as prime minister and it has taken him six months since he became permitted to make it here so not quite rushing like previous british prime ministers have done to ukraine but certainly making clear that he is coming here with something significant to sign. he is calling it a 100 year partnership with ukraine and i think it's meant to underline the long—term commitment for supporting ukraine from britain. for supporting ukraine from britain. of course britain has been at the forefront of efforts to support ukraine up until now, supplying missiles, supplying military training, supplying a lot of economic aid and military aid in kind. so a lot

he's planning to sign what downing street is calling a landmark, hundred—year partnership which formalisesrt for kyiv. sir keir previously visited ukraine when he was leader of the opposition in 2023, and has hosted president zelensky twice at downing street since entering office. president biden has warned americans about the dangerous concentration of power in the hands of a few rich people as he delivered his farewell address, four days before leaving office. he said institutions that govern a free society are being threatened. today an oligarchy is taking shape in america of extreme wealth, power and influence, that literally threatens our entire democracy, our basic rights and freedoms, and a fair shot for everyone to get ahead. we see the consequences all across america, and we've seen it before, more than a century ago. but the american people stood up to the robber barons back then, and busted the trust. they didn't punish the wealthy, theyjust made the wealthy play by the rules everybody else had to. our reporter merlyn thomas sent us this report. you would expect an outgoing pres

downing street says the leaders stressed the importance of the close ties between their two countriesorrespondent iain watson gave us this update. i think it's quite positive from keir starmer as point of view. it's within a week of the inauguration, he was not the inauguration. he had already spoken to president elect trump after the november election. that went in trump tower quite well in september. i say quite well because of course donald trumps close ally elon musk has been denouncing keir starmer and his labour government on social media. it doesn't look like that was anything like the tone of this conversation. i'm told it was warm and personal. it does look as though both men went out of their way to try to find points of agreement rather than points of difference. a few examples, praise from keir starmer for donald trump's roll ahead of taking office in negotiating or helping to negotiate that cease—fire in the middle east. and of course the release of the hostages, something keir starmer praised his predecessorjoe biden for too. 0n the other side of this donald trump sent c

it does sound, both from the readout, as it is termed, that we got from downing street and the whitealked about the middle east, keir starmer praised donald trump for his role in bringing out the ceasefire and hostage release deal. we know that they talked about the economy and that keir starmer talked about his plans to deregulate the uk economy. i think that was clearly an attempt to appeal to donald trump's sensibilities. we also know courtesy of the white house that they talked about the royal family because when it comes to the uk, it is always worth remembering that donald trump, whose mother was scottish, absolutely loves, and has deep affection for, the royal family. has deep affection for, the royalfamily. what has deep affection for, the royal family. what mike has deep affection for, the royalfamily. what mike henry, in the readout of the calls, did you spot any differences in the tone between the two? not particularly, but there were glaring omissions. when they talked about the economy, ok, keir starmer may well have talked about his desire to deregulate the uk economy b

we were on bourbon _ came down the street. we were on bourbon street, _ came down the street.walking - on bourbon street, walking around and my son is only 17 years old so we weren't able to go into a lot of places. so we were just kind of hanging out on the streets enjoying the music and the people, having a good time, and we saw these doors open with some live music being played so we walked in there, and within a few minutes that we were inside, we heard the gunshots and the people that, the bar that we were at, they shut the doors and they told us all to get down. and they locked us in there. and we were in there probably about five minutes, we took cover and when we walked out we saw the truck that was crashed right in front of us, right in front of where we were at and we didn't really even know what happened, we didn't know it was just an accident and then we saw people on the floor and first responders giving cpr and we stood there and watch them try to save this young kid that was similar in age to my son. so i got really emotional, i was in shock and just washing the

street. moving around a police vehicle meant to block oncoming vehicles. >> we have the people that got hit by this car. >> the video you're about to see is disturbing. showing the truck rushing downtreet, hitting at least one person. >> you just heard this squeal and like the red of an engine. and then this huge, loud impact. >> and then the people screaming. >> authorities identifying the suspect as 42 year old shamsuddin jabar, a us born citizen, military veteran and resident of texas. authorities say he was speeding down bourbon and allegedly firing an assault style rifle out of the truck, racing about three blocks before crashing, stepping out and opening fire again, wounding two police officers. authorities then returning fire. the suspect dead at the scene. this image showing his body lying next to that truck. this video, shot from a bourbon street balcony, shows bodies in the middle of the street. >> these are all somebodies people that aren't going to be there. >> jimmy cochran was his group's designated driver. >> we ran upstairs, and when we got on the balcony, what we saw was insanity. i mean, something out of a movie, the graphic nature of it. and it was unbelievable.

a second line down the street, and they did sort of a memorial. the mayor and the superintendent walked down the street with people from the clergy community in this city. as we show you this video. and they took 14 yellow roses and placed it at different spots because they wanted to make sure that before they open this street, they show a lot of reverence to the victims here. and on top of all that, i want to show you the barrier they now put in place. there's a barrier that's been erected, and not only do they do that, they block the sidewalk. but listen to the chief talk about that barrier that's now there to make sure no trucks or cars go down this road. >> so what we're doing right now is we're hardening the target. and that's the term we used, meaning that we are going to make it where any penetration would be almost next to impossible to get here. so that's what you're seeing here. we're bringing in heavier equipment. and we are also putting what are called archers on the sidewalk. as you can see that. and that will give protection for anyon

just a little, you know, a sign in the street that's what blocked our turning down bourbon street.his terrorist had no civic duty. he went right around onto the sidewalk and took those people out. the city of new orleans spent in $2,017, $40 million. mitch landrieu got it to put security expansions in place because of the truck driving accident, the terror attack in 2016. because landrieu feared we would have a pedestrian terrorist accident like this and we couldn't protect our visitors. for some reason, that money vanished. we don't have proper working to protect these walkways in the city of new orleans. if you are going to close the city down. if you are going to close the street down, make sure you protect them for the people visiting from the terrorist. for whatever reason the city of new orleans did not do that they have a lot to answer for. the only hope i have to offer tonight. jason it is the feast of mary mother of god and she, too. ran from terrorists several times holding god close to her and trusting him. she survived and i think we will as well. >> jason: raymond, hea

down the street, the faces of men killed using real guns to fight israelis, some from a militia knownlion's den. heroic martyrs here, terrorists as far as israel is concerned. amar has a stall selling sweetcorn. translation: peace is difficult, _ because you need to go back to the religion and doctrine. but we would love for the bombing to stop and for them to leave gaza, and for the prisoners to get freed, and for everyone to go back to their homes and family, because they suffered a lot in this war. may god help them. at her stall, amina is desperate for the ceasefire to work. translation: it affected us a lot here, both financially and mentally. we, especially women, are affected by what we are seeing. the children who are dying. we hope we could help, but we can only pray. a ceasefire, if it could hold, would be a considerable and an overdue achievement. but the sad truth is that it wouldn't end the conflict between palestinians and israelis. everything that has happened since the october 7 attacks has made the conflict about as bitter as it's ever been. just outside nablus is the

street there's a lot of scents. right? a lot of smells. i don't think you can run a bomb dog downmount of traffic that's been out there. let me just say this. i think -- this may help. it would be my hope that as some additional time goes through, maybe closer to maybe the beginning of next week, we will -- if we've got it -- to what extent buttoned up as we could, i would work with the fbi and the city and maybe we can come up with a timeline to be able to get you those information kind of walk everyone through from day one through i think it is -- it's extremely premature and you really putting us on some speculative grounds to ask some of the questions because again it's only been 24 hours. can you imagine how far we've come in 24 hours? [ inaudible question ] >> whoa, one at a time. >> what's being done to make bourbon street safer tonight than it was on new year's eve? or temporary bomb -- being brought in off the streets and why weren't those used on new year's eve? >> well, look, here's what i'm going to say. every time some bad guy does something like this, that's what we

it was sent to downing street this morning and he's doing two things, i think.rtant loopholes in what's known as the 0nline safety act. we've discussed it many times, but the government introduced what looked like groundbreaking legislation to try to combat this problem and stop, particularly young people, but notjust young people, but particularly to stop young people seeing content that was harmful. that was the tories. yeah. and ian russell and other safety campaigners believe that that legislation, which is being enforced by the regulator 0fcom, essentially has got lots and lots of holes in it. that, yes, it's important, yes, it was a good start, but there are lots and lots of holes. for example, there aren't specific references to suicide. some of the codes don't cover live streaming. it's not quite clear what it's going to do about chatbots, which of course are becoming a very big thing online. so ian is making the point very forcefully that, as he sees it, the 0fcom codes are a "disaster", to use his word, that they need urgent fixing as they are coming i

how difficult is this for keir - difficult is this for keir starmer and downing street? dogged with those questions around the economy and now this has flared up economy and now this has flared up and ultimately led to resignation.— up and ultimately led to resianation. , ., ., resignation. the distraction of the allegation _ resignation. the distraction of the allegation being _ resignation. the distraction of the allegation being made - the allegation being made against a minister is a problem for the government, and we have seen so great, the most senior adviser go, because of that, and we have seen the transport secretary go as well —— sue gray. now tulip siddiq. i should tell you about the letters number ten has published in the last 20 minutes, and tulip siddiq said in her letter it is clear that continuing her role as the economic secretary to the treasury is likely to be a distraction in the work of the government, and the prime minister said in response that he wanted to thank tulip siddiq for her commitment as economic secretary and for self referring herself t

keeping the public away from bourbon street and shutting down bourbon street and that is a large thingten. and to do with the crowds from the notre dame-georgia game. a very busy day in new orleans. >> new information -- i apologize for him -- for interrupting. we got information from a federal law-enforcement official tells nbc news that the suspect is dead. tell us how again that may change how were going about in the investigation, how they're going about knowing there is not a continuing threat to the public works>> that is a matter of searching his car or the truck, the f150 and going to his residence with a search warrant and going through a carefully making sure there is no other explosive devices. interviewing his relatives, checking on their safety. making sure someone was not killed earlier. before the attack. and that is just a matter of gathering the forces in getting the warrant and going to do it. normally we would just send agents to the house and just you know, basically, park and surround the house and call the occupants out. and wait for the warrant to be signed in an
