i want to review headlines from the metropolitan police. error probe is already underway and the police, the metropolitan police is confirming there are numerous casualties, including police. this is what we know. a full terror probe underway. the police commander is speaking to reporters right now. the london police have confirmed they cannot confirm the precise number of casualties, but there are numerous casualties, including police. a press conference is underway. we will continue to monitor the press conference. let's go to the news conference right now. >> if anyone has information about today's event, they are urged to call -- and i want to stress if the public has any information to dial 999, immediately. >> does it seem to be over? >> i will not speculate. ournt to stress that it is authority to keep london safe. those leave will see additional officers. >> any shots fired? >> i have told you all the information i have. we will continue to keep you updated. i am not prepared to speculate. ladies and gentlemen, i will thank you for y

the capitol hill police themselves, the washington metropolitan police and then you have federal agencies and in this case because washington is a federal district, an assault on a police officer whether it's capitol hill or metropolitan police is also a federal crime. so if one of the police officers had been seriously injured or killed then the fbi would take charge of that investigation into that officer's killing so there is a great deal of response that could be brought to bear. it's a question now of the initial investigation and whether it shows that that's warranted. >> so, tom, let me put this in a bigger context and we know someone is in custody and we don't know who it is and we don't know why they did this and we don't know if it was an accident or not. in the broader context we know just a few days ago in london someone did run over pedestrians on the street near parliament. we know that vehicles are now being used in attacks. talk to us about the concern over this type of incident, when people are driving into cars using cars as weapons. >> well, the problem is that this tec

started. >> right. >> and was a witness, and that's why that person who is the acting leader of the metropolitan police, the most important police officer in the uk aside from the commissioner herself, that person, that commissioner acting commissioner was there. that will have caused deep alarm in the metropolitan police. they will have been extremely worried about that, and i am assuming that this was not some kind of an attack that was targeting the actual acting commissioner of scotland yard. seems more than likely a coincidence that officer was there but that is a dramatic piece of news, if that is the case. >> and with that acting commissioner have been in westminster possibly to testify or brief or under what circumstances would someone of that rank be in westminster on a day like today? >> i was just trying to hear what duncan guardham was saying which has deep sources within the british security services and police, and he was talking about an operation that was under way, a rehearsal. i couldn't make out whether he was saying that was happening today, but it may be, there are all kinds of rea

that is the latest from the police on what they know about the police on what they know about the individual. with me now are to faith leaders who have just been meeting the metropolitanirector—general of the london central mosque and also a member of the shia community. we know that the news of the press centre for the so—called islamic state have claimed responsibility for this attack. even them to do that. we had in the commons earlier one mp asking the prime minister if she would agree that what was done yesterday was a perversion, carried out on some sort of perverted way, to represent the islamic faith? i'm sure you would agree. it is a perversion of is or any other faith, i believe. all these actions of the so—called islamic state anywhere. from what happened yesterday... we must not show divisions, solidarity in the society from all faith leaders. also, we work together here. showing solidarity, showing condemnation, showing that we work together against this awful thing. i believe muslims agree that is correct in this land the window. how important is it now for faith leaders to come together like this with the police and to pass on the conversation that you

the edge of the police cordon. good evening and welcome to bbc news westminster is in a state of emergency, after what the metropolitanribed as a terror incident. four people are known to have died including an attacker. 20 people have been injured. a police officer was killed inside the parliamentary grounds. here's what we know so far. an attacker is reported to have run down several pedestrians on westminster bridge before crashing into railings. this is where a woman died. others suffered catastrophic injuries, according to the emergency services. the attacker is then reported to have run through the gates of the palace of westminster and stabbed the police officer. the officer died from his injuries. eyewitnesses said the attacker was shot by police as he approached a second officer, still carrying the knife. during the attack, mps in the house of commons were told to lie on the floor for their own safety. a spokesman for ten downing street has released a statement saying: "the thoughts of the prime minister and the government are with those killed and injured in this appalling incident, and with their families."

the police are saying that khalid masood acted alone. the implication is that these enquiries are broadening out? yes, the metropolitanhing this morning that they were confident that khalid masood had acted alone in this. but they are certainly still investigating the possibility that others had some involvement to some degree, they may have had some awareness of what he was planning, they may have been aware, may have known what might have been about to happen, even if they weren't directly involved, perhaps they may have been on the fringes or maybe just able to help police with a bit more information about exactly who he was and what his background may have been. but two men asked dolby in question tonight. and johnson in birmingham, we are very grateful to you tonight —— two men are being questioned tonight. some other breaking news coming into was within the last few minutes. this is news regarding the talks that have been taking place between parties in northern ireland following the colla pse northern ireland following the collapse power—sharing executive earlier this year. and the subsequent election. you may

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.

the country‘s biggest force — the metropolitan police in london — has a shortage of 700 detectives. the victoria derbyshire programme here on bbc news. just a warning that this film contains flashing images from the very start. it‘s not good for me, it‘s not good for my health, it‘s so pressurised now. there just isn‘t enough of us. the metropolitan police service is the largest force in the country, with over 31,000 officers, and i myself used to be one of those officers, working as a detective for over eight years. london is currently divided into 32 boroughs and each one has a dedicated cid, or criminal investigation department, and the met police federation says the detective shortage is having an impact on staff. they are carrying far too much of a workload and also, they are short of colleagues. bearing in mind, we are 700 short, 700 cid officers short, in the metropolitan police. someone‘s got to absorb that work. that is my colleagues you are talking about who are carrying 50, 60 crimes at a time, which puts them under huge stress and it all attributes to where we are. you n

rowley, deputy commissioner of the metropolitan police, said earlier this month that authorities haveted 13 planned attacks on various scales since 2013. considering that hundreds of brits have traveled to the middle east to join islamic state, the relative safety to date is a credit to its intelligence services. that's the last line, the one i wanted to pick out to the credit to british intelligence services, something that i think people feel reassured about across the united kingdom and london as they do here in the united states. it's not through want of trying that the uk has suffered an attack in the last couple of years where continental european neighbors have. it's through the success of these security services that they've been thwarted. i suppose yesterday could have been worse. our thoughts and prayers remain with those people who suffered from it. credit to the security servers. >> my pick is in the "washington post." penned by elizabeth warren, the democratic senator from massachusetts. joe donnelly, the democratic senator from indiana. it's titled trump's s.e.c. chairma

the acting commissioner of the metropolitan police, keith mackie, spoke. day. they we re called westminster yesterday. they were three very moving speeches here to several rounds of applause. sadiq khan, the mayor of london invited londoners and visitors to come here to trafalgar square, just minutes away from where the incident happened in westminster. as you can see behind me, people have been laying candles and flowers to pay their respects to those who have died and ingratitude for those who have helped. they have turned up in their hundreds. people from all corners of the globe, all walks of life, of all ages. there are reasons have been varied. i spoke to one young lady earlier he said she lost a friend in the attack and she was very close by. she had to come for some closure and to pay her respects. another young man i spoke to said he was too young to remember the incidence of 7—7, this was the first time this had really come and he needed to come here some of london could stand together and, indeed, it did stand in unity tonight. thank you very muc

rowley, acting deputy commissionerfor the from mark rowley, acting deputy commissioner for the metropolitan police—terrorism officers have thwart 13 terrorists attacks. potential terrorist attacks. it's important to keep perspective, isn't it? absolutely. it was very much like that in the immediate aftermath of the terrorist attacks in 2005. the police were still able to stop two or three attempts a year. it isn't justice lambic fundamentalists. we found extreme far right groups that were stockpiling weapons and things like that. we've been able to stop them as well. i'm going to bring in jackaway puttnam. come round here. come in. jackie is a survivor of the london bombings injuly 2005. goodness, how were you feeling yesterday? terrible. i was working not too far from here. saw it on the news. and it felt as if it was happening again. what i was thinking was what i'm sure lots of us were thinking, which was oh, no, not again. it surprised me because we're 11 years on. you think you're doing fine, everything's wonderful, you've got it all under control. then it ta kes got it all under control. the

that is the request from the metropolitan police. on as well about the arrests made overnight. we now know that a 32—year—old woman was arrested at a location, sorry, a 27—year—old man was arrested at a location in birmingham, and a 35—year—old man arrested in manchester. we believe that to be west didsbury. and a new arrest this morning that we hadn't heard about onto half an hour ago. that was a 32—year—old woman this morning in manchester. all of these people being arrested on suspicion of the preparation of terror attacks. the arrests overnight were described as significant. the police starting to feel they might be getting close to people who might have had some idea that this attack was going to happen. was the acting alone, or was the acting with accomplices, part of some wider organisation? yes, i think the police don't really know the answer to that. islamic state we re very the answer to that. islamic state were very keen to claim that he was somehow part of their war. that may not be true or it may be true. it is probably n

the fallen police officer, keith palmer. just to recap the news this hour, metropolitan police, scotland yard, have released a new photograph picture than the one we saw earlier, him as a teenage boy in his school football tea m him as a teenage boy in his school football team when he was at school in kent. this is a much more recent picture of the 52—year—old khalid masood, who had a string of aliases. born adrian elms, later became known as adrian russell ajao and converted to islam. had a string of convictions for assault, grievous bodily harm, possession of a knife. his last conviction was in 2003. but never convicted of any terrorist offences. the prime minister said yesterday that he had been on the radar of m15 yesterday that he had been on the radarof m15 and yesterday that he had been on the radar of m15 and security services, but was seen as a peripheral figure. that's the latest news from westminster. we can go back to the studio. british scientists say they have made a major breakthrough in the diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis. using genome sequencing they are able to isolate different strains of tb much m

police wouldn't tell us what constitutes a high, medium or low risk event. that grade is then sent to the venue and to the local licensing police unit, and according to the metropolitanl licensing police unit, whether to cancel the event. last year, a club in croydon in london hit the headlines after it was revealed that, through form 696, police had told the owner to ban bashment, a form ofjamaican music. i received this letter from them, and it said that bashment plays unacceptable forms of music and that if we continue to play it we'd literally risk losing our business. we were told that bashment may attract the wrong type of people. i don't think they actually wanted to see too many black people coming to the town centre. at the time, police disputed that was the case and the club has remained open after many local people protested. my birthday bash was nearly shut down unless i took an artist off. it turned out to be because his brother had some sort of court case. wasn't even the actual artist. they said, yeah, basically he had to come off otherwise your birthday bash isn't going to happen, so i actually had to take him off the line—up. i've definitely been boo

the metropolitan police say there are extra officers, both armed and unarmed, on the streets of londonht. an attack on the capital has been long feared, and despite the success of the security services in averting a series of plots, there have also been warnings of the likelihood of an attack. so how have people here been reacting? our home editor mark easton reports on london's response to the westminster terror attacks. on this painful day in the life of our nation and our city... sirens and prayers mixed together at the church of st martin—in—the—fields tonight. outside, the authorities have placed physical reassurance. police just being there to make people feel safe. and that is how people felt. a busker set up at his spot in trafalgar square as theatreland took to the stage this evening. chinatown thronged with people. if london was in shock, the crowds of locals and tourists suggested they were determined to ignore any anxieties. we had just arrived in london as it was all happening, so it was a bit worrying but it hasn't stopped us. i have faith that we're going to be ok. becau

currently in critical condition, it is believed that the police have launched an anti—terror investigation. 0utside scotland yard, the metropolitanr we saw tragic incident unfold. 0ur attack. today at westminster we saw tragic incident unfold. our thoughts are with those who have lost loved ones, those wounded, and those who died in the attack. 0ne ones, those wounded, and those who died in the attack. one of those who died in the attack. one of those who died today is pc keith palmer, a police officer. keith — aged a8 — had 15 years' service and was a husband and a 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 three members of the public also lost their lives in this attack. specially trained family liaison officers will be deployed to support them. and i confirmed earlier, the suspected attacker was shot dead by an armed officer — therefore meaning we now have five people in total who have died. i will not comment at this stage on the identity of the attacker, but our working assumption that he was inspir

our thoughts will be, in particular, with the metropolitan police as they mourn their colleague pc keithine months ago, in lastjune's referendum, 52% of voters ticked the box marked "leave the european union". it set in train an enormous political upheaval. a prime minister resigned and a new one was installed. the government fought and lost two court battles over the role of parliament. legislation authorising the prime minister to trigger article 50 had a rough ride, but made it on to the statute book. dozens of parliamentary inquiries have been launched. and there have been hours of debate, inside and outside parliament. and now, a milestone has been reached. at around 12.30pm, the uk's ambassador to the eu, sir tim barrow, delivered a six—page letter to donald tusk, the president of the european council. shortly after the letter was handed over, theresa may began her statement to mps. a few minutes ago in brussels, the united kingdom's permanent representative to the eu handed a letter to the president of the european council on my behalf confirming the government's decision to invok

people have left flowers, messages, notes, a few members of the metropolitan police quietly reading somee messages. pc keith palmer's death and that of three people has prompted the home secretary to write this article this morning. her criticism of the social media companies is not new, but what we see today is she is broadening the net, singling out a few smaller companies who previously had not beenin companies who previously had not been in the home secretary's site, and her concern is twofold. on the one hand, you have got companies, as she would see it, raina platform for people to share poisonous ideology, a platform for hatred to be shared and spread. but also she is concerned about some platforms with the technology they use being encrypted, being a victim —— vehicle for terrorists to send messages often without the intelligence services being able to pick up on them. that is the criticism she is making today, she says it is not a case that they need to do more, they need to start helping the government in the first place in some cases. and more details about the attack itself.

but the message from the metropolitan police is that it's men and women are out on the streets, working, to try to make sure something like this doesn't happen again, to be highly visible for the public, and to reassure the public as well. and let mejust remind and to reassure the public as well. and let me just remind you the news that we've been hearing that westminster bridge has now reopened, the scene of part of that attack yesterday has reopened, the forensics work has been completed remarkably quickly, given the complexity of the scene there, and that has reopened, another sign, if you like, of the show of defiance that london, the parliament, will not be prevented from running, from working, by an attack of this nature. we will have continuing coverage of all the developments on this story for you throughout the afternoon here on the bbc news channel, but let's just take a look at the weather forecast now. hello, it has been a fairly chilly start of the day, the wind really adding to the chill across southern areas, as is the rain that we have here at the moment, quite grey and

but i think still, the metropolitan police are making it clear that although they have got some idea story, they want the answer to the key question, was khalid masood acting totally alone 01’ was khalid masood acting totally alone or was he khalid masood acting totally alone orwas he in khalid masood acting totally alone or was he in some way given assistance by others? knowing that is very important. we know now that he was born adrian elms, we heard from one of his former classmates earlier on. you could tell the shock at the sort of man that he would become? yes. it is a very, very interesting journey, isn't it? become? yes. it is a very, very interestingjourney, isn't it? born toa interestingjourney, isn't it? born to a single mother on the outskirts of london, going through childhood in some quite nice parts of sussex but becoming at some point an angry young man who was involved in violence, in drugs, in getting drunk, ending up in prison. and then this time teaching in saudi arabia before then returning to the uk, changing his name to a clearly muslim name, living in luton an

harrington of the london metropolitan police. our cnn international anchor, you were there at parliament when this incident occurred. just a little bit more than two hours ago. i was having a little trouble hearing the beginning part of what he had to say. i think he was seeing maybe you heard it a little bit better than i did, that they are now dealing with what they consider to be an act of terror. >> right. they're saying they're keeping their minds open, but essentially this is a full counter terror investigation, and it is underway. that's what we heard there from police officials. the press association reporting right now that one person has died as a result of what is being treated as a terrorist incident in this city. official -- additional officers will be deployed across the city, and the police are telling residents of london, visitors to the area, to avoid these large swaths of westminster. this is, of course, where the houses of commons are located. this is where we were. i was with a colleague sitting in on prime min
