london.ing this as a terrorist incident and they pulled investigation is under way led by london's counterterrorism command. you understand our knowledge of the incident is still growing but at the moment what we understand is as follows. at 10:08pm last night we began to receive reports a vehicle had struck pedestrians on london bridge. the vehicle continued to drive them from london bridge to borough market. the suspects left the vehicle, attempting to stay number of people, including an on duty british transport police officer who was responding to the incident and he risk received serious injuries, fortunately not life—threatening. his family has been informed. armed response officers then responded very quickly and bravely and confronted the three male suspects, who were shot and killed in borough market. the suspects had been confronted and shot by police within eight minutes of the first call. the suspects were wearing what looked like an explosive vests, but these were later establish

on london bridge. the wheels keep turning in the city no matter the efforts put into disrupting the way of life. >> london is a huge city of about seven and half million. on a weekday the commute into london is a almost double that. i was on the scene of western terror attacks because that's close where offices are. if you're close to the scene similar to the pictures were sena it will feel is the the area has come to us standstill and is on lockdown. but you travel in one direction or another into the heart of london and life continues as normal. of course, nobody would want come apart from terrorists to stop that from happening. the police, the government and mayor anyone involved in trying to keep london safe and moving will wants other parts of london to continue as much as possible but of course what we have going on now in london bridge and the vicinity which is very much central london we have an ongoing terrorist incident and a lot of arms place. >> a number of casualties as you can see. we hav

then we were told to run london bridge. then we were told to ru n towards london bridge.we were told to run towards elephant & castle as they tried to secure that stretch of road that leads up from elephant & castle towards london bridge. we're watching the metropolitan police twitter feed in the studio and they have just said that as well as london bridge, officers have also responded to an incident in borough market. " we have armed police at the scene" not just market. " we have armed police at the scene" notjust one incident but two that they are dealing with that they have confirmed on twitter. emily, how clear was it that this was gunfire you were hearing, it is often mistaken for something else. was gunfire you were hearing, it is often mistaken for something elselj can't claim to have ever heard gunfire in my life before but i was fairly sure that was it. it sounded like a very rapid fire. but by that stage it was as clear as it could be that it was police gunfire because there were so many blue lights and we could hear the sirens and the shouting. one man who cam

just by london bridge station.d reports of a white van mounting the pavement and hitting pedestrians, an eyewitness report saying at least five or six people were struck by the van. a little while after we then got reports of incidents at borough market, which is filled with pubs at that time on a saturday night, which would have been very busy, many restaurants and police have since confirmed they were also attending an incident there. what's important to stress is borough market is very close to london bridge, you can walk within 30 seconds and be at borough market, so very close incidents. in the last ten minutes or so the metropolitan police have also confirmed they are responding to an incident in the vauxhall area. what's slightly different is vauxhall is a little further away, still on the south bank of the thames, but a mile west of that area, and in the last few minutes the metropolitan police have tweeted out this message grouping vauxhall, london bridge and borough market together, giving people advice,

that came to us from london police, police at london bridge. believe we can speak to a bbc producer, a colleague who works here in the newsroom with us. who works here in the newsroom with us. where are you? i am at the south side of london bridge which is quite close to borough market, the south side of london bridge where one of the incidents appeared to have happened. i spoke to several people who have come across the bridge saying they were evacuated from buildings that they were at work in there. they heard about the incident, they may not have seen but they are aware that an incident happened on the bridge and they have been asked to leave their building and come away. we are right the cordon on the south side of the bridge. we have not been moved back, police have said it is an ongoing incident happening. i have also heard here although it is yet to be confirmed officially that there have been two incidents, one at london bridge, one at borough market. we don't know if those incidents are ongoing but clearly there is a concern is the saf

perhaps what we heard as we were driving from north london to south london. this is south bank of the thames river. as i bustling area full of different shops, people go there. at night, the shops themselves are closed but there are lots of little cafes and pubs so this would have been a very, very busy area. we don't know if there was a suspect police had seen coming out of this van. if he or she, if a person were to run somewhere, that would be a good place to, for example, go. if you want to get lost into a crowd. i should admit, complete conjecture at this point. all we know at this stage is that this incident took place. there are a number of people injured. we don't know how much. and theresa may, the prime minister, is being kept up to date. police are calling this incidents, plural. on london bridge and atborough market. >> the information we're getting from reuters and others, is that there are two incidents from central london on the screen you see here. the van they believe to be associated with at least one of those incidents on london bridge. the

near the london bridge.y nice weather there. we want to point out 50 degrees. it is a time when london people are out from shopping, hitting the pubs. enjoying what they normally do gone about their normally peaceful lives and yet again, it looks like terror has struck again there in london. again, we are still waiting for lots of confirmation. facts and information are floating out at this time but as you know in developing stories as this, the facts do change. what we know now is that this is transcript appears that there are multiple people involved here they're driving a van hitting several pedestrians on the london bridge. seven people as he knows this point the reports of three other men jumping out of the van, stabbing other pedestrians. there is reports of gunfire as well on the london bridge. again, we have not been able to confirm any of this at the moment. we have been listening to our sister station sky news were interviewing eyewitnesses there on the scene. we will go back to sky news right now

london. in the first incident just after 10:00 p.m. local time, 5:00 p.m. eastern time, a van traveling southbound on london bridge veered off the road and struck passing pedestrians. police were called to borough market, a busy area south of the london bridge with bars and restaurants where there are reports of at least one attacker stabbing people with a knife. armed police responded and shots where are fired at that scene. london ambulance have announced within the past hour that another least 20 patients have been transported to six hospitals across london. it is now 3:00 a.m. in london. there is no official word on how many attackers were involved. according to people on the scene at london bridge, a white van was seen traveling fast. it was swerving as it struck several people. the bridge has been closed. one taxicab driver told our news partner i the news he saw three men with 12-inch blades get out of the van after the crash and start stabbing people at random, his words, on bore over

the sun is coming up in london. londoners are waking up. that the scotland yard press conference that they had is sending the m edmessage that this incident seemed to be over. they don't know who's behind this attack. they haven't given the all-clear, but it sounds like this part of it is over. >> reporter: that's right, ali. as i mentioned to you before, there are three attackers. with so many other incidents, a lone wolf attack where there's just one person, the fact that there are three means this is going to be, you could almost say three times the dagnet, three times the manhunt. they'll be trying to see who they're connected with, and whether or not these three people, how they came together, what kind of network they came together in, how they were able to coordinate with each other, and whether or not they have accomplices. that's what's going to be happening now. remember, in the past couple of months, just since march, there's been three now major terror attacks in britain. in each of those, the police have spread out and kicked d

london is a huge city. it is a probably most cosmopolitan city in the world, i think there are more languages spoken in london than even new york. it didn't feel like it was a city on edge. they are resilient people, londoners, you have to remember, they have been dealing with terrorism for decades, back to the troubles with noarlts ern nn ireland conflict. i was impressed with londoners going about their lives. >> that is impressive, as life goes on, have no other option than to operate like that what was your initial take, as you watched this unfolded? we're hearing from witnesses, we know from authorities one person has been arrested, but witnesses say there were two other people in the car, they ran away, 1 one witness saying there may have been a give and a stabbing -- a knife and stabbing, what is your take? >> we don't know what happened. it does seem like some sort of revenge attack. for the previous attack that were committed by muslim extremists, this appears to have been commit by someone against

from london bridge. as you can see, it's blocked off, most of the bridges in downtown london have been blocked off by the police because of this overwhelming police response to this incident. remember, we're talking about two different incidents. and this means now that the metropolitan police have declared them terrorist incidents, at i mentioned earlier, the drag net is going to be expanding and police are going to be hunting for potential accomplices and anyone else who might have been involved. i just spoke, since we last talked, i spoke with an american man who said he actually lives above borough market. that was the site of the second incident that occurred. police are saying that at borough market, there was a stabbing at one of the restaurants. he said that this gentleman said when he walked out of his apartment, he tried to shoot photos of what was going on and the police grabbed his camera and made him move across the bridge to this side of the river. and he said that he saw the police with lo

one of them on the london bridge and the other right next to the london bridge. the timeline is as follows. just after 10:00 p.m. a white van traveling around 50 miles. hour swerved up on the sidewalk and plowed into a group of pedestrians. there are reports saying that as many as 20 people may have been hit but most of the reporting has a number between four-seven. police have not yet confirmed that number but as you can see, the images they are there are people scrambling from the scene and police escorting and yelling to get out of the way. and of course blocking the way to the bridge which they closed in. they were trying to get them away from them area. witnesses later reported as seen suspects jump out of the van carried 12-inch nice. moments later police responded to a unknown number of stabbings at borough market. this is a series of bars and restaurants that runs right along the south side of the london bridge. this, as you might imagine, peak time on a warm london night so the local businesses were packed with people. london police have told a number of

london bridge. a huge amount of police cars and responding to this incident. there are also helicopters flying overhead. we are hearing about an incident in three locations now. not only london bridge but also in the area where i'm standing now and also in vauxhall as well. what we are hearing is that police sources say they're looking for three suspects. it is not known, there has been no identity or description of the suspects offered at this time. according to eyewitness reports it is certainly a very traumatic incident. one which has resulted in a number of casualties. >> let's just describe this, these pictures we are seeing at the moment your location. what appears to be the best part of perhaps this far certainly into triple figures. members of the public walking away from those flashing lights towards the camera with their hands on their heads. can we return to that shock, that would be great. all of those people walking towards the camera. so we can just see that's a little bit more detail.

i know london fairly well. that sounded to me like the area that it was coming from. >> now, was that the same direction that the van was headed? >> it's a bit further on. so it -- that would have been consistent with somebody getting out of the van and running away and then being caught. >> and how long did it take you before you saw -- >> i don't have any information about that. it would be consistent with that. >> i understand. just trying to piece together some of the scene and the timeline here, mark. when you saw the van and the incident unfolding, how long did it take for police to respond? were they very close to that area? do you have a sense of how long it took? >> it was very quick. there were police patrolling around all the time anyway in the area. and i was at london bridge station tonight and there were probably half a dozen police -- half a dozen police at the station itself earlier in the evening, just being present. so they would have been there on the scene very quickly. i'm not going to be a
