overall, a bad night for the security services, mi5 and scotla nd the security services, mi5 and scotlandt khuram butt, first of all, a pakistani born and then came to britain with his parents, britain granted them refugee status, just like the parents of the killer from the manchester attack. khuram butt in the background of the channel 4 documentary called the jihadis in the background of the channel 4 documentary called thejihadis next door. he was free to carry out the attack. even worse but the security services, he did fall under investigation but was deemed not to bea investigation but was deemed not to be a threat of the investigation was pulled back. also, within the story in the telegraph, the third individual who was not named, was also named to the security services. the question now will be, is there a gap in the legislation, do the security services need more power to ta ke security services need more power to take somebody like khuram butt on, if he isn't explicitly planning an attack but looks like a real risk to safety of the public? what else can be done in terms of legi

..the police and security services do to keep us safe.us safe, what they need are resources. now, the security services have powers, so for example we have the exclusion orders, and we've had those since the coalition days — the liberal democrats were fundamental in making sure that we have those, and the government's used them once in two years. what i hear from the security services is that they have the powers that they need — what they need are the resources to make use of them. but you want to take powers away. and so what we need to make sure is that we don't have knee—jerk responses to the kind of outrage... but you want to take powers away — why? do i want to protect the privacy of individuals? yes, of course. when you see terrorists seeking to undermine our freedoms, our liberty, our very way of life, it is very important that we don't allow politicians the easy answer of knee—jerk responses that give away those liberties and freedoms. but you want further to tie the hands of the security services. that's not true. well, you're a

what we do not have is sufficient pairs of eyes and hands in our security services and hands in our security services and in our police force, to be able to pursue and catch them. i would like to know what could be done to prevent free cowards in a van from deciding to do what they did on saturday night. i know that safer if we invest in police and security services. an additional numberof security services. an additional number of police across the country would make us safer. the cuts that theresa may made as home secretary have not made us safer. applause are you convinced by that? i feel we are restricted and the police are restricted in the surveillance they can do. i think they should have more powers to be able to monitor these people, especially where data has been encrypted on mobile phones. it is a new world we live in. why in your manifesto do you say, picking up on that point, that he would "rollback state surveillance powers"? it is not that you don't want new powers, you want fewer? we are talking about the snoopers charter, data surveillance, however you want to describe it. t

concern, reviewing the strategy of the security services?ity services? i think there is concern, some people are rattled about what happened. people thought that britain had built a pretty effective counterterrorism machine that was running at full tilt but was effectively disrupting plots but we've had three in three months where individuals were known to the authorities. there has been a lot of political talk today about resources and police numbers but in the counterterrorism world they are thinking about the strategy. do they need to change how they operate, do they need to go back and review people to see if the threat profile has changed ? people to see if the threat profile has changed? do they need to look at how information from beginning it is dealt with? they are the kind of ha rd dealt with? they are the kind of hard questions i think they are asking and will be asking going forward. some soul—searching, and they know that they need to deal with the threat that is still very much there. thank you forjoining us. the sister of a ma

the security services, the police were there. they do question the security services. and we may find out similar stories about the attackers here in london that there were reports made to the security services and online about the attackers involved. but just describe the challenges of the security services and whether you think they have failed, actually. >> one of the things that is becoming clear. the antiterrorism hotline. the issue is that it's not possible to investigate every single person and one person says people, okay. . now when they come in, they'll go through risk protest and they'll say there are people here. if these people didn't miss the threshold, there must have been other people that's more high risk. let's not forget, terrorist and the west minister attack months ago. the last few years, attacks have grabbed on to them. >> okay. well thanks for that. this is going to be a big topic in the coming days. certainly, attacks by british police. we're hearing from some of the witnesses in the attack. we'll describe in horror. but also unity and bravery.

our top stories: more questions for the uk's security services. it's emerged they were warned about the third london bridge attacker. he's been named as 22—year—old youssef zaghba. an australian nurse, kirsty boden, is the third victim to be named. she was killed as she ran to help others during the attack. british prime minister theresa may has said she's prepared to rip up human rights laws to ensure british police have the powers they need to tackle the terrorist threat. if our human rights laws stop us from doing it, we'll change the laws so we can from doing it, we'll change the laws so we can do it. president trump is claiming credit for the blockade of qatar by some of its neighbours, claiming it could be the beginning of the end for terrorism. and we report from inside raqqa as fighters enter the city stronghold of the extremist group that calls itself islamic state. hello. all three men who carried out the terror attack at london bridge have now been named. and the british prime minister has announced a review by police and mi5. there are

despite this, security service interest in him was scaled down.in which he describes himself as a motivated, zealous and trusted individual who had worked in security, welcoming guests and securing buildings. he worked on the london underground last year, but claimed his responsibilities included "assisting customer evacuation where necessary." in pakistan today, his uncle said he was ashamed, and said his nephew's victims were constantly on his mind. some have suggested the killings might have been prevented if any of the men had been subject to a court order known as a tpim, restricting the movements of terror suspects who haven't been convicted of a crime. but the man who until recently officially reviewed terror legislation for the government says the orders are really aimed at a small number of individuals where strong evidence of terrorist activity exists, but can't be used in open court for security reasons. for that limited category of people, they're very useful. where they don't help is in relation to people who can't be shown to have pr

he remained a subject of interest for the security service m15.s had been made in terms of the priorities, they said frankly they were, because there wasn't any sign at that point that khuram butt, although he was clearly radical and carrying around with people associated with a banned group, they couldn't see him as being involved in any attack planning. this is the dilemma for m15 and the metropolitan police counterterrorism unit. you may see someone who police counterterrorism unit. you may see someone who is clearly radicalised and expressing all sorts of strange views but they aren't committing a criminal offence. what do you do? suddenly on the spur of the moment they can rent a van, grab some knives from the kitchen drawer and carry out an attack on london bridge. how do you deal with that? thank you. let's speak now to professor michael clarke, he's a former director of the think—tank the royal united services institute. hejoins us in our central london studio. that last point is absolutely crucial. hindsight is obviously wonderful but if

police and security services say he was unknown to them before the attack but is understood to be 30 to have a libyan or moroccan background. until last year, he lived in dublin with a scottish partner, but according to irish prime minister enda kenny, was not known to the security services. and observed in respect of radicalisation and matters relevant to that. in this case, these facts are being checked but my understanding is that this individual was not a member of that small group. why you touching him for? khuram butt, though, was very much on the uk security services' radar and there will be serious questions about how someone with such well—known extremist views was able to carry out a murderous attack on the streets of london. security barriers appeared on some london bridges overnight as london bridge itself reopened to people and traffic heading in and out of the square mile. london is getting back to normal. this bunch of flowers almost the only sign of the carnage that was here on london bridge on saturday night and into sunday morning but a huge police and security oper

police and the security service here at m15 police and the security service here at mis have not so farre is little sense that broad new powers in themselves would have been enough to detect or disrupt the recent attacks. the real debate, though, may be up around resources in the face of what they say is an unprecedented threat. armed police stood guard at westminster today, spotters on the roof. the demands of protecting the public and investigating attacks has, it said, left the counterterrorism network stretched. the metropolitan police commissioner today said it meant officers had been pulled from other duties. we are shifting resources and people across the met. this has impacted other investigations. we've had to slow down some, and that's just a necessity. the legacy of the last four months and concern over further attacks will make tackling terrorism and extremism one of the defining issues in the coming parliament, whether or not new laws are on the agenda. stay with us on bbc news. still to come: scientists in bolivia fight to preserve the future of our planet by storing ice f

so it is just the security services that can access it. break into people's equipment and they have powers do that because the material is not encrypted when it's at rest on your phone, the messages can be read on your phone as you do when you look at them on your screen and if the security services want to take over somebody's device, they can do that. there is always that method. i think what we have to remember here is that there is so much information now and yes, these people are communicating on the internet, but the result of that is they are more vulnerable and more visible and whether it is the communication in data that you can get from facebook by asking for it or whether it is the content of these messages which you can get by breaking into individual phones. the fact is communications and plotting is more accessible to the authorities today thanit accessible to the authorities today than it ever was before. i'm really interested in that. so security services could hack a phone at any time and read an encrypted message you're t

yes and zones like this will be tightly control by police and security services and i am sure they theou think about what's happened, to what, tent does it sink in about what terrible things you have seen? the psychological aspect is important. it is is really important how we manage it. we encourage all our staff to talk about it, talk to friends, relatives, colleagues, and we held a debrief in the early hours of sunday morning but later on this week we will be holding a more formal debrief to learn lessons is and the congratulate our staff on a fantastic job they congratulate our staff on a fantasticjob they have done. congratulate our staff on a fantastic job they have done. what about you personally, when you got home, what did you think? u nfortu nately i home, what did you think? unfortunately i have dealt with a number of incident like this fr be, soi number of incident like this fr be, so i won't say it has become normality i have a way of coping with it. i will sit back and reflect on what went on and reflect on the excellent chair the team has delivered. going back to the pat

more questions for the uk's security services — as it emerges they were warned about the third londondge attacker. he's been named as 22—year—old youssef zaghba. french police shoot a man outside paris's notre—dame cathedral — after he attacked officers with a hammer. also, president trump claims credit for the blockade of qatar by some of its gulf neighbours. he says it could be "the beginning of the end" for terrorism. and hidden for 600 years. the mediaeval aqueducts helping save southern india from drought. welcome to the programme. it's 8am in singapore and 1am here in london. the british prime minister, theresa may says she's prepared to modify human rights laws in order to tackle the terror threat. she was speaking after fresh questions were asked about how the security services had missed the london bridge terror plot. those questions are being asked more urgently after the third of the attackers was identified. he was youssef zaghba, a 22—year old moroccan—italian man, living in east london, who'd been prevented from travelling to syria last year. he was known to the authorit

the security services bill in the information —— fill in.e plate and they will see have a license plate and they will see where it has come from. in the case see where it has come from. in the case of the westminster attack on parliament, very quickly there was a carand a number parliament, very quickly there was a car and a number plate that led to a higher car company and that opened up higher car company and that opened up the investigation. —— higher car. they want to know who these men are, whether there are any more out there, and clearly the government will have to consider what to do. let's talk about the threat level in place at the moment. after the manchester attack we went to the highest level, critical, meaning an attack was imminent, we have dropped back to severe, meaning an attack is highly likely, it's possible that the government may go to that higher level. that allows them to do things like putting more police with firearms on the streets and use the military to back up police in the job of protecting establishments aroun

that worries the security services. that impact on public confidence, doesn't it? absolutely. hank you for coming down here. professor michael clarke, the former head of the royal united services institute, with his analysis of this investigation. 12 people are under arrest and raids have been carried out in barking and if we have any more information on that from the police we will let you know. we have been talking about the human impact as well as the continuing police investigation. let's hear a little from the archbishop of canterbury, the right reverend justin welby, about events here in the last 24 hours. first of all, grief and horror, and just that appalling sense that it's happening again, that people are suffering so greatly. secondly, immense admiration for those who have responded, the emergency services, the quick responses of the police. and, thirdly, something that struck me this morning in this enormous pentecost service and ram—packed church we had this morning. there was a profound sense of resilience, of faith, and of hope. and that is what i pray for this c

, they will slip through the net and inevitably we will have critics saying that the security services the sheer mass, the insurmountable task the services have in terms of the number of suspects, well in excess of 3000, thatis suspects, well in excess of 3000, that is a conservative estimate... sorry to cut you off. the prime minister isjust sorry to cut you off. the prime minister is just speaking in sorry to cut you off. the prime minister isjust speaking in downing street. i have just chaired a meeting of the government's emergency committee and i want to update you with the latest information about the attack. shortly before ten past ten yesterday evening, the metropolitan police received reports a white van had struck pedestrians on london bridge. it continued to drive from london bridge the borough market we re london bridge the borough market were three terrorists left the van and attacked innocent and unarmed civilians with blades and knives. all three were wearing what appeared to be explosive vests but the police have established this clothing was fa ke have established this

the security services were brilliant last night. d secure the lives of those people that were being attacked last night, and we owe a debt to them and i think they did brilliantly last night. people generally need to carry on doing the things that they do. the one thing we mustn't let is the scum, really, these terrorists try to change the way we live, which is why it is right for us to continue with the election and go—ahead on thursday and give the british people their choice. that is critical. the statement by the prime minister today hit exactly the right note, very powerful statement and it tells everybody that we must act, and if we have to change things like the laws, if we have to say to cyber companies, it is no good, you cannot avoid responsibilities, you cannot let this stuff be on the net, we have to deal with them and that needs international support, and she will immediately get on with that, and the third area is public bodies, everybody in britain must be equal in the face of the law, we cannot make in the face of the

, mis interest to the security service, m15 orto interest to the security service, m15 or to thee is a bit of a question about him as well as the questions about khuram butt as the questions about khuram butt as we were saying as the questions about khuram butt as we were saying yesterday evening. let's go to hugh schofield in paris. what is happening? the area in front of notre dame has been completely sealed off, emptied of taurus. we are told there were 900, 1000 visitors stuck inside of notre dame waiting for the all clear so they can leave because police, having sealed off the large esplanade are continuing to search the area in case there is any other suspect device or fugitive person. case there is any other suspect device orfugitive person. it looks unlikely. the incident happened a little more than half an hour ago. a man, apparently wielding a hammer started threatening and all attacking passers—by, visitors, but also it seems, police who were on duty outside the police headquarters, as people who know paris will know, is right across the esplanade from notre dame cathe

they look at what the security services say and give an independent view as to what the government shouldion of the government in the end, but they generally accept advice of security a nalysts. generally accept advice of security analysts. after the manchester attack, they said you need to go to critical, the highest in the five level system introduced since 2006, only the third time that level has been reached, meaning an attack was imminent. after an understanding was gathered of the manchester event, it was dropped to severe. if police are concerned this may be linked to future attacks, another imminent one, it is likely it will go back up to critical. it will be up to the government based on advice from security analyst look at all the information coming in. tom, obviously we have had the westminster attack, the manchester attack, and they have all been different in many ways. the first and the third are similar in obvious respects. a car attack followed by a knife attack. in this case we have a conspiracy, several men appearing in eyewitness accounts planning together. the first one

if labour is elected, i will get support from the security services on friday on the changing nature ecessary and effective to protect the security of our people and our country. that includes full authority for the police to use whatever force is necessary to protect and save life, as they did la st protect and save life, as they did last night, as they did in westminster in march. jeremy corbyn, the leader of the labour party. time to look at the weather forecast now. thank you. oldham was dry, spring was dry, and warm. —— autumn. the first week ofjune not be. pressure moving in. it is coming from this area of cloud. it will give us our first dose of wet and windy weather over the next day or two. the wind in northern ireland will push into scotland. it will graze the far north—west of england. to the east, more dry. a few showers today. they have pretty much cleared away the bigger bridges, 11 degrees. a southerly breeze. —— temperatures. brightening up with sunshine and showers. heavy rain developing in northern england, especially in wales and the south—west. showery rain arrivin

what did the security services no? what did they do with that information?itude, his opinions, but there was no concrete evidence that he was planning something. what tuc to that? the prime minister said that she thought authorities were too tolerant of extremism. what do these people have to do before the authorities take action? we have had so many terrorist attacks in our country, going back to july terrorist attacks in our country, going back tojuly the 7th two today. it is not good enough for the authorities to say they were not plotting a plan. we know that they we re plotting a plan. we know that they were plotting a planned because they have killed so many people on our streets. it is not good enough. the authorities have to take action, and so authorities have to take action, and so do we in the muslim community. it is no longer acceptable to say it is not a problem for the muslim committee, it has got nothing to do with us. we have to confront the ideology of violence and bring them to justice because unless we do that they will put more of our cit

radar screens and yet again, we have an attack carried out by one of the evil who was on the security services radar but had been dropped off. talk to security officials, they also a part of the key to being able to resist these kinds of terror attacks is more intelligence about what is going on. that is putting a huge command on the resources of all security forces. is becoming ais major issue in the british parliamentary campaign. they have an election in three days time. in thes a brief pause campaign yesterday. everyone declared a truce and said it was time to pay respect to the dead. that didn't last long. you have both sides coming out, jeremy corbyn is the challenger. they are essentially going after each other on the security front. theresa may saying there needs to be less tolerance for extremism. words that are clearly directed at courses. someone who she has called to sympathetic to anti-western militarism. police and authorities in general need to have more power than they do at the moment. she argued that corbyn has blocked government's ability to give those powers. on the other s

people who are generally may be just one or two people, outside the scope of the security services'sing, also what is known as residual threats rather than current threats, but they use these areas and it is difficult, what do you do? the thing about terrorism and thinking back to the ira in a less sophisticated time in the 70s and 80s, they were often able to get around police monitoring that actually they would always find a way. i was going to say if whatsapp was not to be end to end encryption, they would use other means. exactly. when theresa may says anna is enough, it is easy to say that of course it's difficult to do. if it could be done it would have been done by the intelligence services along time ago. remember it was only the other week after manchester, 33,000 individuals maybe at risk of radicalisation, potential targets for radicalisation, heppell who they are keeping an eye on but you cannot monitor of that amount of people. one thing that is incredible, the telegraph looks at various angles, so telegraph looks at various angles, so does the ft, and enough is enough f
