the met police decided to challenge this in the courts because they said it had ramifications for policingtims, went through, but they save the case raises important argument regarding the boundaries of police responsibility and liability and it is important that these principles are tested in the courts. the hearing gets underway at 2pm will stop thank you. boaty mcboatface — remember the name that won the competition to name a new arctic exploration vessel? the organisers decided that wasn't quite what they had in mind, so named the vessel, sir david attenborough instead. but the good news is that the people's choice was given to an unmanned yellow submarine. and now boaty mcboatface is on its first mission to the antarctic, as our science correspondent, rebecca morelle, reports. getting ready to take a dip. this is boaty mcboatface. at the national oceanography centre in southampton, the robotic submarine is being put to the test before it heads out to sea. this submersible has been kitted out with the latest underwater technology but now scientists have decided that one boaty mcboatfac

we have heard from the acting met police commissioner who has said that what has happened cannot be ontant is the response. people have been coming down to lay flowers just where we are broadcasting, many of them just coming out of their offices in fairly determined spirit. when i came into work this morning on the train, the same people i see every morning, getting on with it, as london tends to do, and making sure that we were not cowed in any way by what happened yesterday. it is quite interesting, christian, that where we are, westminster bridge, which is the focal point of what khalid masood did yesterday, killing and injuring so many people, but this is now open again, whereas other roads around westminster are still closed including milbank and other major roads around parliament square. one of the other interesting things, some who works in one of the ministries here was talking about it yesterday, what was particularly impressive about the security services' response is how they kept some of these narrow roads open and closed off the area around westminster quickly, but what t

the met police denies the voluntary form targets certain genres of music. report on that coming up. a man is seeking to take his case to the high court to change the law on assisted suicide which is currently unlawful in the uk. the 54—year—old father, who cannot be identified by name, was diagnosed in 2014 with a rare degenerative disease. his illness is not terminal, but means he is largely confined to his bed and he needs constant care. the judgement is expected to be announced in the coming days. and we have an exclusive interview on this programme. an american airline has been criticised after two young girls were stopped from boarding a flight because they were wearing leggings. the incident at the airport was seen by another passenger, who took to social media to tweet united airlines. the airline responded by saying they had the right to refuse passengers for not following their dress code. they later clarified that the girls were not on a general ticket and had to meet certain standards. that's a summary of the latest bbc news — more at 9.30am. let'

this is what we're hearing from one eyewitness that has not been confirmed by met police. they say that they are dealing with, quote, a firearms incident but haven't said any more than that. we are also hearing from the leader of the house of parliament who says an attacker has been shot. not confirmed by police themselves. then we have another potential scene with possible victims on westminster bridge. this is the bridge that goes over the thames and right to the houses of parliament. i'm sure you've seen it in postcards or if you've visited london, you've visited the bridge. we have reports from a reuters photographer of as many as six people injured. it's not clear how they were injured or what may have happened on that brge. that information, we're still tryi to round up. but six potential injuries from some sort of incident on westminster bridge. at this point, the houses of parliament has been locked down. people from what we understand are not getting in or out. this was a very busy day at the houses of parliament. it's a day in which they have what's called prime

two faith leaders who met with the metropolitan police earlier.k yesterday, and those very visible as a presence on the streets, reassuring people here in london, they will remember their colleague keith palmer, a married father of a five—year daughter, and we are hearing as a mark of respect his shoulder number will be retired, and not reissued to any other officers. asi not reissued to any other officers. as i stand here this evening, it is a busy london evening, not an evening exactly like any other, of course. but, phil of the sights and smells of a london evening, with lots of people coming and going, both londoners and styris stash maxwell of the sites. that is what police and many people in the community are seeking to protect, as i watch what is happening this evening, london is a city that will not be deterred by terrorism. then, over to you. —— ben, over to —— ben, overto you. members of the public are walking across westminster bridge which has been reopened just over 2a hours after those attacks. let's talk about what happened here wit

at the moment, the london mayor sadiq khan is meeting met police with members of your counsel. t 24 hours?” response to the police response has been of the last 24 hours? i commend their stance. unfortunately, there isa their stance. unfortunately, there is a backlash and i think it is important that the police to do their best to protect communities and not to allow anyone who wants to use this as an opportunity to incite hatred and indeed violence against anyone in the community. that is very important. islamic state has claimed responsibility. what is the message from the general muslim council of britain? islamic state is a lwa ys council of britain? islamic state is always trying to use any opportunity, i don't even know if this was a islamic state thing, but they are trying to use this opportunity to claim a victory. say they are retaliating or retreating from iraq and gradually being thrown out of mosul. i think they would use any opportunity. it is a press opportunity for them, and opportunities to instil that terror. we should stand still. the muslim council of britain

my colleague is at the met police headquarters now. anita. thank you. hey know the man responsible for they know the man responsible for the attack in westminster yesterday. they have named him as khalid masood. let me just bring you some details of what they say about him. they say he was 52 years old, that he was born in kent, but believe he was living most recently in the west midlands and that he was also known bya number of midlands and that he was also known by a number of aliases. the metropolitan police say khalid masood was not the subject of any current investigations are there was no prior intelligence about his intent to mount an intelligence attack. however, he was known to the police and has a range of previous convictions for assault, including gbh, possession of offensive weapons and public order offences. his first conviction was in november 1983 for criminal damage. his last convention was in december 2003 for possession ofa was in december 2003 for possession of a knife. that is the latest from the police on what they know about the po

the acting deputy commissioner for the met police, mark rowley is in charge of the investigation. and our thoughts are with those who lost loved ones, those injured and all those that buy this attack. one of those who died today was a police officer, pc keith palmer, a member of our parliamentary and diplomatic protection command. keith, aged 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 and he had every right to expect that would happen. i can also now confirm that there are three members of the public who have lost their lives in the attack. specially trained family liaison officers have been deployed to support them. and as i confirmed earlier, the suspected attacker was shot dead by an armed officer. therefore now in total we have five people who died today. i will not comment on this stage as to the identity of the attacker but our working assumption is that he was inspired by international terrorism. i should also say at this stage, that we believe approximately a0 people have be

in london, we feel that we are working hand—in—hand with the met police.rtant partnership. the hard work put together by faith institutions to build those relationships over the years. it is important to see how londoners have come together. the attack on the heart of our democracy won't divide us. heart of our democracy won't divide us. we are reinforcing the importance of our democracy. it has beena very importance of our democracy. it has been a very powerful statement across london. you can see the intimacy showing between faith leaders, who wants to show we will not be divided. we fear this division. we see groups trying to ta ke division. we see groups trying to take advantage and push their divisive message. people have come here today, have left work, schools have broken up early, tojoin and show their respect. it is important to say. at 2:40pm it will be one week on since this bridge, this tourist attraction, a bridge used by many thousands of londoners every day became the scene of terror. how would you say through your work and what you have exp

policing. she has asked us to hide her identity. she is still serving in the met.h would you put yourself through all of that aggravation for the same pay when you can go back into uniform or stay in uniform? work a great shift pattern, turn up, whizz around in a car, then answer 999 calls, someone needs arresting, you do that, book them in, hand them over to a detective, and then, the next day, you just come back in and the slate‘s wiped clean. this is all against a backdrop of a rise in crime. in 2016, the met recorded nearly 762,000 offences, 3.5% up on 2015, so, of course, with an increased workload and a lack of staff comes heightened pressure. it is just relentless, the stress. and a little bit of stress is good, you can strive on it, but when it is so high all the time, it‘s just not sustainable, you can‘t keep working like that. it was just getting really stressful and ijust found i was thinking, i don‘t think i can do this any more. made me feel a bit of a failure, to be honest, that i couldn‘t stick it. rachel had a similar experience working in cid. i do

it was interesting talking to faith leaders who met the metropolitan police earlierfrom who met the metropolitanm community, who said to me that they believed the voices of condemnation from within the muslim community for this sort of attack, those voices need to be louder and they need to go on the offensive particularly against the influences of social media that are radicalising young people. absolutely. when we first realised there was such a problem in 2004 and 2005 in that respect, there was a sense that the muslim communities and the leaders were the wrong people to talk to. the government was talking to the wrong people, you have to get inside those communities. since then the radicalisation has moved from the mosque and gyms and taxi firms into public parks and more social areas. it's not a question of talking to the seniorfaith leaders it's not a question of talking to the senior faith leaders who are in their 50s and not taken so seriously by younger people. it's getting into the younger people and the groups those younger people are involved with and get them to get on social media.

we're hearing very limited information from met police. police are asking people to stay out of the area. they've closed a lot of the roads in this very central part of london. they have closed westminster tube station, which if you're familiar with london you'll know that takes you right to the corner of parliament square, where you can see big ben, the houses of parliament, and the bridge. so that has now been closed down. parliament is on lockdown. we've heard from lawmakers inside that they've been told to stay in their offices, keep themselves barricaded inside until they get the all clear. as far as we know, that has not happened yet. there is still no all clear inside that building. and it sounds, andrea, like there were two incidents. however, we're not clear yet whether this was all perpetrated by one attacker, or more than one attacker, and that most likely is the reason that there is still a lockdown here. we understand it may have started on the bridge, that's what we're hearing from our witnesses, that they first heard somethin

police met with residents about the issue. one woman expressed concern that her aunt and uncle, who are here illegally from hondoras, could be deported. police say they will do their job and arrest people who break the law-- regardless of their immigration status. that also means police do not report illegal immigrants to federal officials. d.c. residents who disagree with that policy- accuse city officials of violating the law and harboring criminals. great news for "star wars" fans.. disney c-e-o bob iger says we can expect another 15 years of "star wars" movies, after the new trilogy is complete. in an interview at a u-s-c tech conference, he said producers are starting to talk about the post-episode nine plan. he also said episode eight won't be changed to deal with the death of carrie fisher. her performance will not be digitally altered. episode eight is set this year. at xx time for weather. toss to eileen - spring returns! 60s today; 70s tomorrow - showers possible this morning 70s tomorrow - showers possible this morni

our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford is at the met police headquarters, new scotland yard. or did he have accomplices? you do get the sense that the police have not got to the bottom of that yet, which is a suggestion that that question probably has not yet developed into a question that suggests that others are involved at this stage. the appeal this afternoon still asking this key question, saying, we want to know if he acted alone, inspired by terrorist propaganda or give others have encouraged, supported or directed him. we are keen to hear from anyone who knew masood well, who understands who his associates we re who understands who his associates were and can provide us about information about places he visited. police described two of the overnight arrests as significant which suggests that they are making progress, they said a man of 27 was arrested in birmingham and a man of 35 arrested in manchester. west didsbury, we believe. and news this afternoon of another arrest, woman of 32 arrested in manchester, bringing to 11 and the total number of people arrested. 0ne b
