horribly reminiscent of what we saw on westminster bridge only a few weeks ago?iddle of the day, that incident in westminster where that car mounted the pavement, knocked people down. we now know what happened there. what we will be trying to ascertain, and what police will be trying to ascertain in the next few hours is, was this deliberate? who is behind it? is this an isolated incident? at the moment we do not know. we will look at live pictures in the middle of london. as we have been saying, traffic has been stopped from crossing the bridge, normally a busy way of crossing north to south of the river, blue lights, clearly, many emergency service vehicles with police first on the scene within a couple of minutes of them being called? many journalists, because right by london bridge station is the offices of news international, the sunday times newspaper and the sun newspaper as well. they are staying up late to put their papers to bed. many would be leaving the office and we have heard from a lot office and we have heard from a lot of journalists at the scene

yes, that was daylight hours when a vehicle drove across westminster bridge. five people died then.

this attack, the attack manchester, london bridge, westminster bridge, they are allan bridge, westminstere all an attack on shared values. tolerance, freedom, respect. we will not allow these terrorists to succeed. i want to thank the commissioner for ensuring that during the course of today and the next few days londoners will see an increased number of visible police officers. particularly in and around mosques, and places of worship as we approach the holy day of eid. they'll be a zero tolerance to hate crime. anyone found guilty of hate crimes will be prosecuted by the police. do not think they're too trivial to report. these have been a terrible few weeks for london. unprecedented in recent times. we have seen the horror of the fire, the attack on london bridge, and westminster bridge. before that. we saw the terrorist attack in seven sisters. we will stay strong city. we're not cowed by terrorism, we will not be defeated. united today, we will carry on being a united city. can i ask you how stretched the lead police resources? given we have had so many incidents in london in the few

it's really hard—hitting when you see something like this, westminster bridge, london bridge or manchesterutes from my house. i had some chicken, some late dinner, and iran some chicken, some late dinner, and i ran out of my house to see what help i could offer and what information i could get. as you say, there have been so many incidents in london over the last four weeks, haven't there? jermaine, stay with us, because a line that's come into us us, because a line that's come into us from the london evening standard is that a man lept out from a van and stabbed at least one person. i know you weren't there at the time that you seem to have been speaking toa that you seem to have been speaking to a lot of people. is that something you've heard down there? can you give any more information on exactly what happened ? can you give any more information on exactly what happened? just the same thing. we need to be careful with the information we are giving out. i've heard from people that a man left a van to stab people. i've also heard there were three people and two ran off while one was arre

and another attack on the westminster bridge that killed five people. theresa may, the prime minister addressed the world this morning. >> we believe we're experiencing a new trend as terrorism breeds terrorism. >> cnn's clurissa ward was there. clurissa, alarming news about other plots there, some of them

london it feels like, if you imagine you live in the city, you had just in last few months westminster bridge attack, then the manchester, you had london bridge, and the general election, that caused a lot of bad feeling. then, the terrible fire, just this week that has left people feeling so angry and worried about things, and angry with the government and local authorities, this city is suffering in a way that -- >> steve, we have to interrupt you, sky news has a witness. >> we see the police, we see a lot of ambulance, too many police officers, we see some of the ambulance taking the people. after that, we tried to help, unfortunately. the police, they said you can't do anything. >> this was a van. we know a van driven by aan, driven at worshippers who were leaving the mosque. >> this is right, there are three people in the van. >> three people? >> in the van, one was catched by police, two ran away. >> okay. so you say there were three people in the van? according to witnesses, one person has been arrested. >> yes. >> you say there were two others in the van who ran. ran. okay we know the

first the westminster bridge, then the manchester attack with the suicide vest and what they're saying is a terrorist attack on london bridge. what's going on here? >> this is certainly the highest intensity for more than 10 years. this is exactly the type of incident that the police here in london and around the uk have planned for and trained for, for several years and especially in westminster you've seen more in the way of deployments. and at the same time what it suggests is that this type of attack, these types of tactics very difficult to prevent. >> reporter: the thinking was when they happened in france, germany, you can drive from one country to the next. at least the uk has some sort of natural physical barrier. it hasn't been the case in the last few weeks. i wonder has anything changed? >> those conditions remain the case. >> reporter: is there something else at play here? >> we see a comdrivers in the threat environment. groups to strike back at western countries. certainly a new linkage between returnees from libya and other countries to the uk is being deployed in more

gregg: the last almost identical attack by a lone individual on westminster bridge a couple months agod a car, also stabbed people in his name was the lead massoud. he was born in great britain and that wasn't his name until he later change it after converting to islam. his last message said he was undertaking jihad out of anger for western nations for taking military action against terrorists in the middle east. so, that wasn't a specific connection to isis but rather he was militarized by an affinity toward a liking of terrorism generally. >> i disagree, greg. he was inspired by isis. that's the way isis operates like they found no isis connection. >> he was inspired by their call to violence. this is how isis is operating now. it's carrying out acts of terror by recruiting followers in other countries that may not have any direct connections to. is it possible to believe that this man would not have committed these acts of terror if isis was not encouraging this activity? gregg: there are plenty of other terrorist groups like al qaeda. >> the point was that you don't have to be nece

we saw in manchester and like we saw with the one lone man that ran over people in a nearby westminster bridgeollowing this for you out of new york. >> this is happening happening around 1030 there in a central part of london near the london bridge. on the london bridge. very very 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

seen the horror of the fire at grenfeld tower, the attack on london bridge and before that westminster bridge and last night the terrorist attack here in seven sisters. we will stay a strong city. we will ensure that we aren't cowered by terrorism and we will not be defeated. we are united today and will carry on being a united city. thank you very much. >> that's the mayor of london, sadiq khan, the first muslim mayor of london. irrelevant if you listen to what he said. what he was saying was that the victims of the attack overnight at the mosque, the victims of the attacks on london bridge and in manchester and in westminster bridge, he said these are all attacks on the shared values of the people of england, shared values of freedom and respect. we are all in this together was his message. he tried to send the message that those who do these attacks will not succeed. one other key point. he said people in england will see an increased law enforcement presence especially around mosques toward the end of ramadan, something londoners have grown accustomed to. i'm joined by dr. alexander hitch

london bridge attack was eerily similar to the one in march, when a man ran over pedestrians on westminster bridge, killing four people, and then fatally stabbed a police officer before police shot and killed him. the bridge and market attacks last night also came less than two weeks after a suicide bomber killed 22 people in the city of manchester following a concert by pop star ariana grande. today, with heightened security, grande performed in a packed manchester soccer stadium in tribute to the manchester attack victims and to raise money for their families. grande was joined by fellow music stars coldplay, marcus mumford, katy perry, and justin bieber. the concert is expected to raise two-and-a-half million dollars"" newshour weekend" special correspondent malcolm brabant joins me now from london, not far from borough market. three attacks in just a few months time. how is the u.k, how is london coping? >> well, if you talk to some londoners they'll paint a picture of the city being a totally indomitable place, a place that's lived through blitz with german bombs raining down, with the ira bo

yes, that was daylight hours when a vehicle drove across westminster bridge. five people died then. it will also be reminiscent of various incidents in mainland europe. the christmas market incident where a lorry drove into crowd. also the attack in nice on bastille day. we do know we are getting reports core operating the same thing, a white van mounted the pavement driving at speed and hit several pedestrians. one twitter user on a street next to london bridge saying the same thing. people are still walking away from the scene and police are evacuating london bridge, clearly looking shocked and distressed by what they have seen. this is a bbc news and we are reporting an unfolding story that broke at about half past ten. about half an hour ago our time. the reports were initially that police we re reports were initially that police were attending a major incident. it involved one white van that was described to us by our reporter on the scene at the time who was able to raise the alarm along with several other pedestrians. that this van had ca reered several other pedestrians. tha

in march, a similar attack took place just around the corner on westminster bridge. two weeks ago, the manchester arena was attacked by a suicide bomber, and now london has been struck once more. and at the same time, the security and intelligence agencies and police have disrupted five credible plots since the westminster attack in march. in terms of their planning and execution, the recent attacks are not connected, but we believe we are experiencing a new trend in the threat we face. as terrorism breeds terrorism and perpetrators are inspired to attack, not only on the basis of carefully constructed plots after years of planning and training, and not even as lone attackers radicalized online, but by copying one another and often using the crudest of means of attack. we cannot and must not pretend that things can continue as they are. things need to change, and they need to change in four important ways. first, while the recent attacks are not connected by common networks, they are connected in one important sense. they are bound together by the single evil ideolog

the chaos in london comes less than three months after a deadly terrorist attack on the westminster bridge, the last from elizabeth palmer in london. >> reporter: police are now saying that the attacks in london tonight were acts of terrorism. a coherent picture is still emerging, just after 10:00 in the first incident, a white van drove wildly across london bridge swerving back and forth apparently deliberately hitting groups of pedestrians. people were left lying in the road and on the sidewalk. that van came to rest at the end of a bridge. then shortly afterwards, police responded to reports of a stabbing in an area janet to the bridge called borough market full of bars and restaurants, according to the witness reports, three men were in the bars, and were stabbing some of the customers. they reported that gunfire rang out. presumably police gunfire. and the police had confirmed that they are looking for or investigating three suspects. tomorrow morning, prime minister teresa may will meet her security chief to decide what the response of the country will be. this is just two weeks afte

thomas', just down the road the from westminster bridge behind me. of course, that the scene of the attack back in march. >> james, there's a resolute people there in london. thank you for your reporting this morning. we're going have much more on the story coming up. >>> we turn to weather and rob marciano. looks like severe weather? >> two spots. one across parts of the northwest. and parts of the great lakes. jet stream meandering farther north. now that we're into june. these are the areas we're going to see some action. to see. we saw some action across wisconsin and michigan. today from ft. wayne, indiana. north of columbus. cleveland, pittsburgh, buffalo. detroit maybe this morning. some rain to the northeast later on. boise. missoula, montana. strong winds. some large hail. maybe a tornado touching down. down across the south. muggy. tropical moisture from a tropical storm that hit mexico. that coming in off the gulf of mexico. several impulses the next several days will bring several inches of rain across the i-10 corridor. some of this bene

a man named khalid masood drove across westminster bridge, jumped up on to what they call the pavementsidewalk, and rammed into several dozen pedestrians. four of them were killed. he then got out of the car and attacked a police officer who was guarding the parliament building with a knife, and killed him. he himself was killed when he tried to run into the parliament building. but that's what this incident looks so much like that. >> let me ask you something -- >> reporter: we haven't had a claim of responsibility yet. >> you and i last talked after manchester, and you and i then talked after paris, the attack in paris, and you and i were together when the westminster bridge attack happened. what's changed in london as a result of this? the context i'm asking is the scott land yard officer said that within eight minutes of the call, the armed response teams were on the scene at borough market and shot these three alleged assailants dead. and we have eyewitnesses who said they felt like it was like five minutes after they first realized there was an attack. is this what happened in lo

and most recently, in march on the westminster bridge in london. >> what do you make of the fact that one of the bombers was wearing that fake suicide vest that we saw in that picture there? >> well, it certainly caused panic last night for sure. it seemed to certainly guarantee that the attackers would be shot dead by police. the police training in these cases is, if you see someone with a suicide vest, three shots to the head. we also know that isis has been telling its followers in their twisted version of islam, to become a martyr in the month of ramadan, which we're in, has greater benefits. >> i want to ask about that. is there any significance to the timing of this attack, but also, what is going on in the uk? >> well, the british prime minister this morning revealed they have foiled five more attacks since the westminster bridge take in march. as police carry out a series of raids this morning, they suggest they have identified some of the three terror suspects. she said there's no known connection between last night's attack and any of the others. but that terrorism shed, bre

these pictures are from westminster bridge. g saturday's terror attack at london bridge. yesterday members of london's muslim community came out in condemnation of the attack and offered their solidarity to london's victims. on the one hand it was our great city coming under attack and so many great souls were killed and on the other hand our great religion was hurt, these people tarnished our great religion. we need to show solidarity because this matters to us, we are londoners. —— londoners. mayor of london sadiq khan has announced a vigil will be held this evening in honour of the victims of this weekends terror attack. people have been invited to potters fields park, next to city hall, at 6pm, to remember the seven people who died, support the injured and show their gratitude to the emergency service workers. a minute's silence will also be held at 6:20pm. let's have a check on the weather now with kate kinsella. good morning. it's feeling a touch cooler than it has done recently, some cloud around this morning but brea ks

clearly though there are concerns of terrorist attacks in london at - after the westminster bridge incident. that was four or five weeks ago. clearly the scene of panic and fear and concern in a saturday night. this speaks volumes of the threat of terrorism that we all now face. please stay tuned. fox news channel and this station will have continuing story. >> if you don't stand up, you get run over. and what's happening to me has never happened, ever. in the history of this great country. he broke me. he broke me. he broke. and then i was, like, no, this isn't right. this is not right. charles: kathy griffin has a serious melt down, of course the alt left provocativer. there it is right there. she posed with a bloody imitation of president trump's decapitated head. and now all of a sudden he's the bad guy. he and his family are attacking her. this goes beyond perhaps liberal hypocrisy. but it doesn't stop there. roll tape. >> the message is clear. criticize, lose your job. and that's what happened to kathy. charles: so if everyone who criticized the president lost their jobs, then there w

so we had westminster bridge in march, then we had manchester, no one at this.und to this is that so—called islamic state is under huge pressure in the middle east. its caliphate is being eroded very rapidly, is losing its bases. so it's in its death throes fear of its geographical territory. is appealing to its followers in europe to hit out at civilians wherever they can. as you say, it's a soft target. there's very little you do to protect people in the public, completely unforeseeable attack like this, other than best intelligence. and i think there will be some of the tough west is coming out of the cobra meeting, as to how it was people didn't know about this. it's too early for whitehall officials to confirm whether or not least the attackers were known to them, whether they were subjects of interest, but i would be surprised if they weren't on the periphery of some investigation or another. that's interesting. just to clarify the people who are waking up to this this morning, you are talking about the huge pressure that islamic status under in the middle

we are on the south end of westminster bridge, outside saint thomas' hospital.t 40 people we re london ambulances that 40 people were taken to hospital following the attacks. some of them are being treated there and here last night ts, treated there and here last night ‘s, when the ongoing incident happens, there was locked down at this hospital. staff, patients and relatives were kept inside because of what was going on outside and keep them safe. we have had an update on the last few moments from the hospital here, who have told us that they had nine patients admitted there last night, six men and five women. they say that earlier on, five of those nine work discharged and four remain here in hospital, but it would clearly tell us what condition therein. we know overall, of the 40 patients who are in hospital, so those are critical, others have more minor injuries. we also know that at the royal london hospital, they are treating 12 patients at that hospital, and there are other hospitals, five in total across central london, that are continuing to treat patie

we have had previous events ranging from the croydon tram incident to the westminster bridge attack and market as well and firefighters were exposed to scenes that they did not expect to see on that night. will the support of the firefighters be ongoing? you do not get over something like this in one night. how long will the support be there for? there is no telling how long it is going to last in the minds of firefighters. the support needs to be there for entirety and for firefighters for their future. the unfortunate thing is that under the cuts previously when borisjohnson was mayor we suffered extreme cuts to the fire service, the counselling service was reduced from 11; councillors to two. londoners universally have a huge amount of respect and time for the fantastic work that firefighters do. does that make a difference to firefighters, knowing they have the support of londoners? yes, of course it does, and we really value that support. the fire brigades union values that support, but we need to ensure that the right and proper counselling and welfare is there for firefighters, a

you feel it has risen exponentially because of the recent attacks we have seen in manchester, westminster bridge have been looking at this since before 9/11, and every time there is a terror atrocity, someone time there is a terror atrocity, someone claims to be acting in the name of islam, we see a spike which happens straight afterwards. so those who feel as though they need to ta ke those who feel as though they need to take their anger out will be verbally or physically abuse an ordinary muslim going about their day to day business. so we to see those spikes, and what we have seen is the sheer intensity of those events, clearly what has happened is there has been an outpouring and that kind of unprecedented attack on islam phobia, and we have grown into this combination, and i agree with the earlier report that this may be a watershed moment where it really makes us sit up and take this seriously now. you say take it seriously, and we have heard political leaders and religious leaders coming together today to denounce islamophobia and hate crime, and this terrorist attack that we saw here la

back in march it was the westminster bridge. or something quite similar happened.mber, it was ramming into the pedestrian so they are used to this. lesson two weeks ago a different kind of attack in manchester at a concert venue with a suicide bomber which left 22 dead and many more injured. coincidentally or not tonight there is a benefit concert in manchester for the victims as investigation into this attack goes ahead. >> will be checking back with you throughout the morning. thank you. >> for more on the attack let's turn out to michael, from the hudson institute. thank you for joining us. what is your biggest take away? >> this is much different from the manchester attack. whether the vests were real or fake, it was three layers of what isis tells his followers to do. rent a vehicle, run over people, get out and continue killing. in the third part is secure bar or restaurant and kill as many as you can inside and pledge allegiance to isis and be killed by the police. in this case whether they did not go off for they were say, the brits fought back in through b

westminster bridge.wright st mary's was one of the major hospitals receiving the injured and six people who died, including the attacker, kelly massoud —— khalid massoud. the first to arrive was a french schoolboy. he is 16 years old. he was hit by a moving vehicle head—on. is 16 years old. he was hit by a moving vehicle head-on. what is this one? his school friend arrives in accident and emergency. he has a massive head wound. this 18-year-old has lost a dangerous amount of blood from his severe scalp wound. he is taken for immediate life—saving surgery. a5 taken for immediate life—saving surgery. as the police investigation got under way, and arrests were made, the injured continued to recover in hospital. eventually, the two french teenagers, best friends, we re two french teenagers, best friends, were reunited. painful memories for so many of the victims caught up in the horror of the attack. sophie hutchinson, bbc news. that is absolutely remarkable footage caught at such a dramatic time that we wil

lot of londoners of an incident in march when a man named khalid massoud drove his car across westminster bridge, jumped up onto the sidewalk, and killed about four people on that bridge. he then got out of his car, approached the parliament building, and stabbed to death a police officer before he himself was shot dead. now that incident killed five people and then the attacker as well. now that's going to be -- this incident bears so many similarities to that. and a lot of londoners are going to see this as something of a copycat until more information is available. but again, we're talking about a similar thing where a vehicle was weaponized, the perpetrator got out of the car, and stabbed people. but again, this is an evolving scenario. we don't know exactly what went on, whether these were two separate terror attacks, whether they were connected, and so we're going to have to wait and hear more from the metropolitan police. >> as they've been so careful traditionally, and of course looking at the information coming in so far before it even came out with calling these terrorist incidents. ma

westminster bridge, the manchester bombing, they're not even over that yet. and here you have this attack with this large number of injuries and certainly the deaths. so, they're really struggling with it now. she talked -- the prime minister talked about, you know, more heavy sentences for lighter terrorist involvement because the people they are seeing seem to be known to the police, but then they repeat going back into the radical and extreme circles and then burst out in violence. so, they're really struggling there. they have a lot of people who have traveled to the conflict zone and fought and acted with groups like isis and al qaeda. they have returned to england, so they have a huge problem. looking at this attack, dara, it is an extremely unusual attack with the hoax bombs and terrorist, that is not -- we've seen some of those cases over the years, but generally they want a real bomb because they're trying to be involved in real mass murder. but i don't think we have the answer to how this was exactly going to play out. i think it's possible this was

i'm on westminster bridge, and this memorial is a reminder of the terrorist attack that took place in march. and when i sat down to talk with mark wahlberg, i asked him about the resilience of this city, and how much it reminds him of his hometown of boston? >> we're going to continue to live our lives, and good is going to continue to prevail. it's nice to see how strong, resilient people are. >> mark starred in "patriots day" before going into production for "transformers." how important is your prayer time for you? >> it's the most important thing. >> what does it help you do? >> i wish i had done it when i was longer. it would have helped me to make better choices. >> come on, man! be careful! >> mark is back for his second turn in the "transformers" movies. what did you do to get ready? >> i would have a strict diet, and run on the golf course, then go to work. >> but the most important role for mark, being dad to his four kids. >> your daughter had a cute little instagram. she was imitating the cash me outside girl. >> she may get in truouble for that. was it inappropriate? >> a

into people at borough market and on london bridge and then a month or so prior we have the westminster bridgeploughed into pedestrians walking across the bridge with a knife attack resulting outside the houses of parliament. london under attack again, it would seem. you can see live pictures here of police basically in an area, seven sisters rd, this is, in finsbury park, islington, north london. the latest word from downing street is this is being treated as a potential terrorist attack. that has come from the prime minister theresa may. she says she will chair an emergency meeting later this morning and goes on to say all of my thoughts are with effect is, their families and the emergency services on the scene. the ramadhan foundation and the muslim council for britain have been very vocal on this, referencing what they see as rising islamophobia in britain, calling on the authorities to increase security outside mosques, a message clearly being felt by mayor siddique khan in his message there to the public. the muslim council wanting increased security outside mosques. they said there is i

behind—the—scenes ina was dealt with by behind—the—scenes in a hospital coping with the aftermath of the westminster bridgecle asa have seen, this one used a vehicle as a weapon but this time the vehicles weren't random, selected for their religion. the police, prime minister and mayor of london have gone out of their way to make clear they draw those restriction between the atrocities of islamist mad men and eight case like this, it wasn't just a hate mad men and eight case like this, it wasn'tjust a hate crime, it was also terrorism —— draw no restriction. it came after midnight in the mixed area of finsbury park ata time in the mixed area of finsbury park at a time when ramadan was over and people were helping an elderly man who had been taken ill on the pavement —— draw no distinction. john sweeney is there, what is the feeling? the feeling is not much calmer than it was earlier today when it was very feverish. all sorts of people and religions were here and they are doing an extraordinary effort. muslims, anglicans, jewish people, six, to get

the westminster bridge attack. a van was used or a vehicle that mowed down people on the bridge. before that the knife attack in paris. the germany christmas market attack, a truck plowing into a christmas market near central berlin. and here in the youth, an attack at ohio state, a university student ran his car into a group of student, then got out and slashed people with a butcher knife. hamburg, germany the say sort of thing. and it goes back to 78 people who died when a track ran through a crowd of party-goers in nice, france. reporter: the london ambulance service confirmed they treated 8 people at the scene and transported them to the hospital and they confirm they treated a number of people there on the scene and let them go. they said 60 medic came to help that are still there trying to figure out what happened. police are saying it is indeed a suspected terrorist incident. joining us, steve rogers. a former member of the f.b.i. joint terrorism task force. they are identifying it as a potential terrorism event. where do they go from here now that they at least said the w

that the struggle against violent jihadism is a generational one, that the violence we saw on westminster bridgeanchester, in london, has the capacity to stretch decades into the future. what are the human costs and the challenges to our society of that possibility? terrorism leaves a devastating long—term legacy. jenny nicholson, aged 2a, was murdered on the way to work on 7/7. grief is not something you can measure at all. it's something that is utterly felt and i think it becomes like a well. the water of grief can rise but it can also diminish from time to time. it's always there. it's always there, it never goes away and in a second, in a moment, something can bring it back. and of course, with every new terrorist attack, then, you know, it brings it back so you are forced to re—engage with it. with sustained violence like that experienced in northern ireland, individual suffering inflamed communal division. coming up here to see if we can give any help. what did you see? i've seen nothing, only bodies lying there. terrorism was not an event but a continuing tragedy. trauma, working its way

now there is a barrier up at westminster bridge. in our area there are three major pedestrian bridges where sidewalks go right up to the roadway. the key bridge connecting virginia and georgetown has the jersey wall separating cars from people. the roosevelt bridge running next to the kennedy center, thats that a guardrail. but the arlington memorial bridge has just a cush. stephen tschida has a closer look at pedestrian safety here. what did you find? stephen: well, alison, the memorial bridge doesn't draw the crowds like london bridge but it has striking similarities. see the broad sidewalk behind me right night to the rush of traffic. the soft target. london bridge. potential victims on a sidewalk no clear escape route. washington, d.c. is a city of bridges and throngs of soft targets no matter where they are always are somewhat vulnerable. bridges in d.c. are outfitted with jersey walls or separating passing traffic except for the memorial bridge. we learn from the national park service there are no plans to install any kind of s

in westminster, bridge street is closed. morning due to a technicalfault. time for the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. good morning. yesterday was the hottestjune day for over 40 years. we saw 34.5 degrees at heathrow. if that was too hot for you, much better news today. it will gradually be turning cooler but it is still a very mild start to the morning. temperatures in central london have not dropped below 20 all night. i must stress that most places today will stay dry, but the met office has issued a weather warning for heavy rain. there will be thunderstorms, very isolated, mostly through the late morning. that risk will transfer east as we head into the afternoon. dry again by the afternoon. there will be plenty of cloud around for a time. the cloud will break up in the afternoon to leave us with a fine end to the day. a big drop in temperature. instead of the low to mid—30s, we are looking at the low to mid—20s today, with a westerly breeze as well. so some sunshine this evening and then overnight tonight a lot mo

westminster bridge was a vehicle as well, london bridge and now this. nature of this one feels different. but the underlying issue is the same, which is we've got so much hate on all sides here, and it always seems to be something that is connected with a particular religion and there's an ideology associated with the religion which is driving hate and looks like response to that, we don't know, but there's a really, really long-term problem, and we've been reluctant to confront that. not just a question of immediate security precautions, though those are vital. we need to see more of that, and critical of the british government's response to this in the past, and i think we do need to see and people have a right to expect from their leaders a tough and strong response, and more security, that's the prime responsibility of government in the end, that is the one thing that you really, really expect your government whether that's at the national or local level to get right, which is to protect your security. there's more that can be done and people asking

do you think that this was inspired by the westminster bridge attack earlier this year? >> probably. inbetween that attack and this one, we've seen two foiled attacks that have been foiled by security services who had the individuals under surveillance. so it does appear that that particular attack which gained such a lot of publicity and was so high profile because it was right in the center of the capital has also inspired several other individuals who were thinking along the same lines to product copy cat attacks. it's possible that the manchester attack which was more sophisticated may have pushed them down that line as well. >> all right. thank you lucy and duncan in london. >>> let's bring in an msnbc contributor malcolm nantz. let me bring this full circle. the attacks in london, paris, president trump now saying that's why we need a ban not a united states, new york, l.a., chicago, washington d.c., the nation's capital. people have to say whether verbally or to themselves, can this happen here? what is the real threat there, and how do you secure american cities

march 22, five people were killed in that attack at westminster bridge. people are angry. theresa may isn't the only one saying "enough is enough." but as we often see in the aftermath, we see people coming together. we saw hotels and businesses and just regular people who were offering shelter and rooms and beds to people caught up in all the chaos last night. >> thank you so much, teri. we really appreciate your insight. >>> investigation into possible ties between the president's campaign and the russian government is expanding. vladimir putin is also weighing in. here is the latest. >> vladimir putin mocked u.s. investigators questioning whatever proof exists that his government was behind u.s. election hacks. which fingerprints he asked. ip addresses can be made up and sent from your home address by your children. putin has been talking and a russian banker has not. he heads russian investment bank veb and had a secret meeting with jared kushner in december in new york. the white house says mr. kushner was acting as a transition official and sources say the two discus

[inaudible] killed four people when he drove a vehicle into a crowd on the westminster bridge. he then stabbed and killed a nearby police officer. we have just received a report from the london ambulance service that at least 20 people now have been taken to six hospitals across london for treatment following the attack on the london bridge. we told you earlier that death toll the uk reporters are is to. we do not yet know the severity of the other injuries, rather, were still awaiting a police briefing on the attacks in london and we will continue to keep an eye out for that with the prime minister, tresa mae, has said she will have a meeting with her quote cobra unit, national security team in the morning to go over these attacks. it's unclear if the threat level will once again be raised. remember, after the manchester attack the threat level was raised to critical and that is the highest point. it was subsequently brought down and now the question is will they bring it back up. us secretary of john kelly has been briefed on the incident in london and dhs has said that right

we recognize over the last two or three months, we have seen an attack on westminster bridge.en an attack in manchester. we have seen an attack last night. now, the reality over the last four years, because of the fantastic work of the police and the security services, as a result of the cooperation of the communities, we have thwarted a number of attacks over the last four years, but, unfortunately, in march and in april and now today, last night, we have seen terrorists be successful. what we need to do is make sure that just like the terrorists evolving and finding new ways to harm us, to disrupt us, we have got to find involved new ways to keep us safe. over the next feud, londoners and visitors will be seen an increased police presence that will include increased uniform officers and plain clothes officers. that means visitors to our city, londoners should know that we are the safest global city in the world. one of the reasons why we are kept safe is because of the hard work of our police and emergency services. >> right. well, on that note, obviously, you've all been to

a string of attacks in the past few months starting back in late march that happened on the westminster bridge where six were killed folwi that rammed into a coyd on one of the sidewalks on the bridge and two weeks ago roughly 22 died following arian a ariana grande concert and following that attack once again with a truck and several victims stabbed. there were 7 dead on the london bridge. and speak spoke with a man that says he had traveled to london following the first of these attacks and he was surprised that there was not more stepped up security take a listen. >> i was a little surprised to be honest that security is not what you expect there was not a ton of security there was some police but nothing like in washington. that surprised me actually there was not more of a presence and more security. i'll be interested to see how it changes. into the surprised me again theres with flowers and things ever that nature on the xwrij where it happened but otherwise it was business as usual. >> crowds gather to pay their respects and secret service stepped up near the embassy as precaution airy
