khalid masood was shot dead. by armed police.other attacks, of course, involving vehicles, as a weapon. in london and around europe and around the world. no confirmation, though, at this time, that this is a terrorist incident. just the very quick response from security agencies in london after this incident this morning. at 7:47am. we have been speaking to our home affairs editor mark easton. he was down at westminster when this happened. he didn't actually see the incident. but he was speaking to eyewitnesses who said the car appeared to be driving at speed, into the barriers, knocking pedestrians over. and, at the same time as that happened, armed police swooped and detained the driver whilst, at the same time, other police cars with sirens blaring, made the shortjourney up whitehall to get to number ten downing st. they beefed up security there. the whole of whitehall significantly beefed up by security in the last hour or so fulston this is the incident, according to the metropolitan police, happening at 7:47am. it is now 8:

before khalid masood was shot dead by armed police. no confirmation that this is a terrorist incident at the moment, but it is certainly being treated as a potential terrorist incident by security forces in central london. the only statement we've had so far from the metropolitan police was treated. a short time ago. —— tweeted. so just to look from our aerial shot

we have heard of course about the attack in march last year by khalid masood, where five people were parliament. khalid masood then drove his vehicle down westminster bridge, targeting pedestrians, before crashing into parliament. then, in june, pedestrians, before crashing into parliament. then, injune, seven people were killed, almost 50 injured, when a van hit pedestrians aren't the bridge before three men got out of the vehicle and targeted people at borough market. of course, later that month, a group of muslim worshippers was targeted by a van mounting the pavement in finsbury park, so sadly, the use of a vehicle against bystanders is a cheap and effective way for extremists to make their point and get attention and create chaos. but we must stress it is very early days into this investigation and, although the metropolitan police's counterterrorism officers are leading this investigation, we have no idea whether there was an accident or it was deliberate. that's exactly right and it would be wrong of us to say either way at this stage exactly what happened. people have said it

khalid masood then jumped out, ran to parliament grounds where he stabbed and killed a police officer. he was then shot and killed. parliament is surrounded by steel and concrete barriers. the police are now convinced this was a terror attack. well, no one else was in the car. no weapons were recovered from the car. police say the man is not cooperating with detectives. they're obviously probing his background, what was his motivation, were there accomplices. other people may have known he was about to carry out this attack. guys, from westminster, back to you. >> all right. bill neely -- >>> al's forecast is straight ahead. but first kristen dahlgren is in little falls, new jersey, with the latest from there. >> reporter: good morning. this road is back open this morning. but take a look back there at the mess this has left behind. some people lost everything. they've simply put it all out on the street to be collected. and this may not be over. millions now bracing for what could be another day of dangerous weather. mother nature unleashing her fury. >> it was a long stretch of time

that was the case with khalid masood who carried out the bridge attack last year.cotland yard. in terms of casualties, everybody has been saying what a relief it is that the casualties have been light. when the vehicle hit cyclists, there were a number of injuries. we gather free people treated at the scene, one didn't need to go to hospital, two we re didn't need to go to hospital, two were taken to hospital, one has been discharged since then but one is still in hospital but not with serious or life—threatening injuries. meanwhile, the man in his late 20s still being questioned at a south london police station on suspicion of terror offences. back now to the studio. thanks very much indeed. we will rejoin ben at westminster in just a moment or two's time. but we want to bring you some breaking news from another part of the world. this news coming out of the world. this news coming out of the world. this news coming out of the northern italian port city of genoa. a bridge have collapsed in stormy weather. these pictures show a large part of a suspension bridge hav
