london is a vast city. we have been seeing a tiny part of the very center of london.ayingcurity people there is no such thing as failsafe security. you cannot possibly short of putting a force field around the city and even within it cut off london entirely and provide absolutely hundred percent security. it has been very security conscious. the intelligence service said it expects more terrorist attacks. they are on the radar of the islamic state group. let's underscore the fact that there has not been a formal claim of responsibility from the islamic state group. claire: theresa may said police are running on the assumption that the attacker acted alone. >> this is now more of a familiar refrain in the wake of a lot of attacks. -- in the saw this case of brussels last year, yesterday was the one year anniversary. the islamic state group claimed formal responsibility afterward. as we know with the pair attacks. there was -- paris attacks. and had been trained dispatched to commit the attacks. the islamic state group, they take a multilayered approach to organizing th

a0 years ago, london was bombed.inside the cafeteria at the house of commons. those days are gone. individuals get radicalised online. we need to ask twitter, facebook, google what they are doing to share information about extremists quickly with security services. recently we have had some big companies pulling out because they are concerned about adverts appearing on extremist websites. there is a lot for those organisations today. we have also seen so—called islamic state retreating quite significantly. they are now in two key places in racket in syria and mosul in iraq and even there they are retreating. they are sending out messages on the committee telling people to attack. we need to know where those messages are coming from and deal with those individuals. thank you so much. let's get the very latest on the police investigation. home affairs correspondent, daniel sandford, jointly from new scotland yard. what is the latest? we can tell you there are five addresses still being searched by police. one in wales,

londoners and visitors safe.by today‘s attack. tragically, a metropolitan police officer who was doing his job to keep our streets safe lost his life. my thoughts are with his family and on behalf of londoners, i want to thank the police and the emergency services who were work incredibly hard in difficult circumstances to keep us safe. my message is to those who want to destroy our way of life is you won‘t succeed, you will not divide us, we will not be cowed by terrorists. well late on wednesday evening, the british prime minister chaired a meeting of cobra — the cabinet committee that deals with emergencies — as the attacker‘s identity was being examined. afterwards she made this statement outside number 10 downing street. i have just chaired a meeting of the government‘s emergency committee, cobra, following the sick and depraved terrorist attack on the streets of our capital this afternoon. the full details of exactly what happened are still emerging. but, having been updated by police and security officials

they are live from central london with news about the london terror attacks, bringing all the news fromtland yard and an update from king's college london, where some injured were. the top stories this hour. police in london say wednesday's attack outside the houses of parliament — which killed four people and injured a0 others — is likely to have been inspired by islamic extremism. the country's top anti—terrorism officer said police believe they know the identity of the attacker, but gave no details. police in london say wednesday's attack outside the houses three victims were killed when the lone assailant drove the car into victims on westminster bridge beside parliament. he then got into the precinct of parliament where he stabbed and killed a policeman before he was shot damp. the prime minister is expected to make a statement to mps later on thursday. the murdered police officer, who was unarmed and guarding the gates to parliament has been named as keith palmer. he was a8, a husband and a father. he suffered multiple stab wounds. the other victims have not yet been named. politi

embassy in london. "we are aware of a reported incident near westminster in london, please avoid the area and monitor the news for updates." the uk political reporter for politico, charlie, what are you hearing? >> reporter: hi there. parliament is on lockdown, inside the chamber. david livingston, the leader of the house of commons, made a brief statement to mps just now in which he confirmed that a police officer has been stabbed on the parliamentary estate and that the assailant was shot by police. we actually saw both of those incidents from our office windows. we're shaken up right now, as you can imagine. our thoughts are with the police officer who has been stabbed and anyone else who was hurt in this horrible incident. >> any indication, charlie, of a motive, why this occurred? >> reporter: no. we're sitting up here seeing it from a distance. i couldn't possibly say what lies behind this. it's being treated as a terror incident by police, i don't know about that, they're keeping the area on lock

very much the message in london will be london carries on and is open for business. which isn't about being glib to what's happening today but a recognition this great city does not come to a halt because of one single incident, but what will be happening will be a very thorough, very detailed counterterrorism investigation taking place to understand who this individual is, what network, if any, is he part of, and what else might be in the pipeline to head towards us linked to that. there will be a very strong visible presence, increasing the presence of police in westminster and across the whole of the capital, and i think it's important to stress that these things are part of a contingency plan. it's catered for. it's tragic what's happened today but not as if london hasn't expected it, so therefore the plans that will be put into place will be to put more officers out on the streets to prevent and detect but also to reassure the public, because the public are at the heart of everything that the authorities do here, the counterterrorism arrangements in this country

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

, part of london, part of britain.t have been. i would have been there but i changed my plans for the day, so i kind of wish i did gojust thinking if i could have helped stop it all. among the crowd, men in blue t—shirts written on them the words "i am a muslim, ask me anything." it was extremely important for us to come down, especially as muslims, to come here and stand with fellow londoners, fellow countrymen, shoulder to shoulder, irrespective of religion, faith, creed, colour, and give out a message that these attacks cannot divide us. many of the police officers i spoke to say they'd been amazed by the number of people who'd wanted to thank them. this doesn't happen to you every day, does it, that members of the public come up to you, hug you, say thank you. no, not at all. when the first person did it i was shocked actually, i had to doubletake, but it makes you feel really warm to be honest. what was it like for you being here? it was very touching. i've never had so many people come up to me and thank you for

on the london eye. it's being sold off for anyone who is on it now. police are there and one by one they are bringing people off there. i don't think anybody on the eye has any idea what's going on. the last thing i would add, having spoken to my security contact, this is a very fluid and ongoing situation and they are trying to piece together what is actually going on using their intelligence sources. but also, gathering eyewitness accounts. >> okay, thank you. don't forget, we are waiting for a police update just up the roa road. that is likely to be within the next 10 minutes or so is what we are hearing. they have already told us that it is being treated as a terrorist incident. whether it's one incident or two and whether they are linked. we just got a still that we would like to show to you. you can see it's a man on the ground, just looking at those images. a man on the ground being surrounded by police officers. the geography of that shot is concerned released her. suggested that it is an old pa

there are two unfolding situations in london right now. central london. one, an assailant tried to stab a police officer at parliament while the house of commons was in session, was shot. people reported hearing shots outside parliament. just a short distance away, the bridge you're seeing there, the westminster bridge, there has been an incident there that may have involved a truck plowing into individuals. we have seen a number of people treated on both sides of that bridge, and air ambulance on the scene. we've seen ambulances. we've seen people taken away on stretchers. our kelly cobiella is monitoring all this from our london newsroom. recap what we know right now, kelly. >> all this started about 50 minutes ago, lester. it was 2:40 in the afternoon british time. would have been a busy afternoon right in the heart of london. the first reports is it came in around 2:40. an incident on westminster bridge, this is the bridge we keep seeing in pictures that leads straight to the steps of parliament. the initial reports were of a firearms incident on that

iam a londoner, i accustomed to it happening regularly. i am a londoner, i grew up regularly. i grew up here. i gamage and it would worry some people but not me. you just get on? yes, i do. some areas were quieter than usual. the london eye was one of the handle of attractions that closed for a time, but thousands of tourists still enjoy the landmarks that had attracted them to the capital. in covent garden we met a family who had arrived on holiday from israel yesterday. they had this message from londoners. life must go on. the only way to fight terrorism is not to be afraid, not to stay at home, not to be frightened from anything, but to live the life and give the message that nothing would stop london, nothing would stop britain, nothing would stop england. more reaction in a moment to the attack on westminster yesterday. now the weather with tomasz schafernaker. we infora we in for a spell of settled weather, looking promising on saturday and sunday. it has not been com pletely saturday and sunday. it has not been completely dry today. 0ver saturday and sunday. it has not

embassy in london released the following statement "the u.s. embassy in london informs u.s. citizens that there has been a security incident on westminster bridge near parliament. maintain security awareness. we strongly encourage u.s. citizens in the united kingdom to directly contact concerned family members in the united states to advise them of your safety." i want to bring in our international diplomatic editor nic robertson who is in front of parliament right now. what details do you have, nic? >> well, wolf, i just stepped out of the way and what you're going to see there is the gate that the assailant used to run into new palace yard there. that's where the area where the police were able to tackle him and that's the area where the emergency services when they arrived on the scene were treating both the policeman and the attacker. as you can see now, that area is still surrounded by police vehicles, by several ambulances. i can still see off to the side there the number of police officers still at that gate. that is where the attacker ran, we understand, after he had

bill neely is in london. what do you know? >> 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

they go to the london eye.s of people who will recognised it —— will recognise where this attack took place. we are live at westminster but now the news from where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm sonja jessup. extra armed police will be on the capital's streets today following yesterday's car and knife attack near the houses of parliament. scotland yard says it's treating the incident as an islamist—related act of terrorism. it's now known that five people died, including a policeman, who's been named as keith palmer. 0ne one of those who died today was a police officer, pc keith palmer, a member of our parliamentary diplomatic protection force. he was 48, diplomatic protection force. he was a8, had diplomatic protection force. he was 48, had 15 diplomatic protection force. he was a8, had 15 years service and was a husband and father. he was someone who left for work today expecting to return home at the end of his shift anti—ad every right to expect that would happen. more than forty people wer

and if, in fact, the investigation in this part of london, central london, is completed enough to open up these streets, and i imagine they would do that as quickly as possible so they can get back to business as normal, then you will see once again tomorrow morning, black kacabs coming up and down the streets, the signature red bes and people heading to work and trying to get on with it. >> kelly cobiella, thank you for adding to our coverage. you see the updated figures at the bottom of the screen. not including the assailant, we should note. three dead, 20 injured in london attack. another break for us. our live coverage continues right after this. let's party!

this being held following the deadly attacks across london or in london and westminster yesterday. just listen in to this, just for a moment. observe this silence. we also understand a minute of silence being held in parliament any minute. theresa may to give a statement on the attacks in a little under an hour. tonight in trafalgar square, a individual organized by the mayor to come as well. we might bring you pictures of the minute of silence in parliament at any moment when we have it. in the meantime, let's recap that police have made seven arrests in connection with the london terror attack near parliament yesterday that killed four people and left 29 others injured. six raids occurred overnight in cities including birmingham and london. at this point investigators believe the culprit was acting alone. the house of commons, as i just said, reopening for business this morning. and prime minister theresa may will address lawmakers in about an hour from now as i already said. let's discuss this further. joining us on the cnbc news line is colonel jack jacobs, nbc military analyst

i hope that the tour ises and the londoners come to london and continue.there will be reflection, questions about what happened, whether or not security should be changed, or officers should be armed. is that something that your colleagues wish to see? no. we don't want to see routine arming. we never asked for that. we would like to see more specialist firearms officers, i have spoken to senior officers in the police to look at that. they will look and listen to the questions that are put to them. there will be a review of where we are and how we are and where specialist officers are and where specialist officers are required for specialist roles. that is it from us at westminster bridge where the traffic is now moving. anita mcveigh, do we have a name? we, we do, the metropolitan police say that the man believed to be responsible for the terrorist attack in westminster yesterday is chalid masood. daniel can tell us more. this man is a 52—year—old man, who the police believe was born in kent but re ce ntly believe was born in kent but recently living in t

but the most famous attack london faced was in 2005, the london bombings, july 2005., since then, london has been relatively speaking safe and free from these types of attacks. when you compare that to the last two years of things that have taken place in continental europe, whether we talk about paris or brussels or attacks in the south of france. so, in that sense, it comes as a big, fresh surprise to the people of london, and the houses of parliament, given, of course, the concentration of lawmakers, 10 downing street, where the prime minister lives, just a stone's throw away from parliament, of course, has an elevated security presence, which i suppose you could argue makes it more of a target for these types of things but also more protected than other areas. and of course, police on the scene acting very quickly, locking down a significant amount of the surrounding area, including westminster tube station. the bridge and square are normally empty of what would now be very busy with tourists and business alike. >> don't go too far away. we have colonel jack jacob
