soldier murdered in a suspected terrorist attack. Drummer Lee Rigby

was 25 and from Greater Manchester. He was the father of a two-year-old

son. The two suspects shot by police were known to the security

services. One is a Muslim convert originally from Essex. This was not

just an attack on Britain and the British way of life, it was also a

betrayal of Islam and of the Muslim communities that give so much to our

country. There are new images of one of the suspects at an extremist

rally six years ago. Police have arrested two more people

in connection with the attack. Also, the man accused of murdering

schoolgirl April Jones tells a court he cannot recall where he left her

body. GPs say it is not their fault that casualties apartments are in

crisis and a blame politicians. And what has the Tate Gallery done

for Liverpool? We examine its 25 year legacy. On Sportsday, as Sergio

Garcia returns to the course, the European tour chief executive

apologises for using a racially insensitive term while defending his

paid to the soldier murdered in London yesterday in a suspected

terrorist attack. Drummer Lee Rigby, 25, was serving with the 2nd

Battalion, The Royal Regiment of Fusiliers. It's been confirmed that

the two suspects shot by police yesterday were known to the security

services. More on the suspect in a moment. First, Caroline Wyatt at the

latest on the attack and the victim. Drummer Lee Rigby, 25 years old.

Riggers to his friends and comrades, from the 2nd Battalion, Royal

Regiment of Hughes is. The soldier who survived Helmand province, but

not hatred on the streets of Woolwich. He is remembered as

popular, witty and larger than life. He leaves behind a

two-year-old son, Jack. Tonight, his at half-mast is, as his commanding

officer spoke from the base in Cyprus where soldiers are on

stand-by to serve in Afghanistan. He was a dedicated and professional

soldier, proud to wear the cap badge of his regiment. He was a real

character in the 2nd Fusiliers. He was in the heart of the cord of

drums and had taken part in many ceremonial events. He was also in

accomplished machine gunner, who had served with distinction in

Afghanistan and Cyprus. Throughout the day, a steady flow of flowers

arrived at the barracks. The shock was replaced by public sorrow and

solidarity. This afternoon, the Prime Minister visited Woolwich

Barracks to show his solidarity with the forces after chairing a meeting

of the emergency COBRA committee, rejecting the attacker's attempts to

stoke conflict by reigning British foreign policy for the killing.

people that did this were trying to divide us. They should know that

something like this will only bring us together and make those stronger.

Today, our thoughts are with the victim and his family. They are

grieving for their loved one and we have lost a brave soldier. Chief of

the defence staff insisted the attack could only strengthened the

Armed Forces resolve. It's a very difficult balancing act. We are very

proud of the uniform that we wear. We have huge support around the

country. I think this is a completely isolated incident. We

will wait to hear more, but that is our view. At the scene, police

officers continued their forensics search. As video emerged tonight for

the first time of the chaotic scenes in the exact moment that the police

armed response team opened fire on the two attackers. They injured

them, but left both alive. Tonight, tributes continued to a life cut

short in a nation struggling to understand the hatred that took this

life. More details have emerged during the

day about the suspects shot by police yesterday. It is thought that

both are British by birth, but of Nigerian descent. One of them,

filmed boasting about the attack, has been identified as Michael

Adebolajo, originally from Romford. He converted from Christianity to

Islam several years ago. As Frank Gardner reports, there are questions

for the security services about their prior knowledge of the

Evidence has emerged that Michael Adebolajo, one of two suspects in

the Woolwich murder, has a documented history of radical

activism. Here he is in 2007, at a rally held by the now banned group

al-Muhajiroun, filmed by the BBC. Its leader was Anjem Choudary.

Because of the injustice and oppression... Listening intently,

Michael Adebolajo can be seen on the left. Today, we asked Mr Chaudhry

what he knew about the man suspected of killing a soldier in Woolwich.

can tell you now that he was linked with the activities of al-Muhajiroun

over the years. But you can say the same for tens of thousands of

individuals. Both suspects are under arrest, held under armed guard in

different hospitals. Officers from the Counterterrorism Command are

leading the investigation and hunting for evidence. As police

search premises in London and elsewhere today, reports emerged

that Adebolajo was born into a devout Christian family and then

became eight convert to radical Islam. Another man who remembers him

was a fellow activist, jailed for former careers for soliciting to

murder. I remember him as a very gentle, despite being very big and

strong physically, he was very gentle and very humble. He was

clearly well spoken and intelligent, somebody that was keen to study and

educate himself. He had a genuine concern and love for the people

around him. Adebolajo's activities came to the attention of the

Security service, MI5, some time ago. Clearly, as of yesterday, he

was wrongly assessed as not being a serious threat. So, what are the key

questions facing the security service? How did this apparent plot

go unnoticed? When was it planned, and by whom? Crucial will be the

men's background, the evidence from the scene and elsewhere. And, of

course, whatever statements they give to investigators. Then there is

the question of who else they have been involved known about the plot.

There have two further arrest 's tonight. Today's revelation that

both suspects were known to MI5 is, on the one hand, reassuring. That

people with such dangerously radical views were on their radar. On the

other hand, it is highly embarrassing for them because, at

some stage, those radical views tend to violent action and MI5 missed it.

They be suspects like these that have perhaps attended a few lectures

by radical Islamist groups or may be viewed some extremist material on

the Internet, I would put them in a class of several thousand people.

Maybe it is not significant enough for security services to have

investigated further. Intelligence and Security Committee

have started their own investigation into exactly what was known about

this man and whether the attack could be prevented.

The community in Woolwich in south-east London is still coming to

terms with the events. Some have expressed concerns about the impact

on community relations, in an area of great ethnic diversity. The Prime

Minister and the Mayor of London Met community leaders during the day.

Mark Easton has also spent the day Angry voices greeted London's mayor

in Woolwich as political and faith leaders gathered to call for unity

and calm. I love this country!David Cameron and Boris Johnson talked of

the critical need to reduce tension in coming days. This is not a

question of blaming the religion of Islam. It is not a question of

blaming any aspect of British foreign policy. Let the response of

our nation be mature and thoughtful. This is a moment of

prayer. Unity, not of hasty reaction. Last night saw a small

demonstration by members of the far right English Defence League, men

hoping to translate public disgust at the killing of Drummer Rigby into

general anti-Muslim feeling. Today in Woolwich market, two distinctive

views on how the community will respond. I think it is really going

to kick off. People have had enough? Yes. The community is pretty strong,

hopefully it is just going to bring the community closer together.

Well... Something is going to, isn't it? It is not going to be forgotten,

it is one of our soldiers. That is the troubling question. Will the

murder of one of our soldiers unite or divide? Michael Adebolajo is

reported to have been handing out leaflets and preaching in central

Woolwich only last week. This part of London includes migrants from

across the world, often seeking refuge from war and from oppression.

A small Somali community has recently settled here, largely

Muslim refugees trying to get a foothold in a deprived, migrant

neighbourhood. Everybody I met wanted to condemn the killing. But a

few Saudi attack in the context of wider injustice. I can understand

where they are coming from because of the war that is going on. You

have to remember that innocent people are getting killed in Iraq

and Pakistan, all of those other countries. We should have love and

unity between us. Whether you are Muslim, it does not matter. Two I

don't know why this man said last act. I don't know why. It is nothing

to do with those. What did we do, Muslim community? The tributes come

from across the ethnic communities, flowers offering a symbol of

extent are you picking up concerns at Number 10 and within government

about the possibility of missed opportunities? The first emotion I

think was relief. A little relief that the community tensions we were

hearing about it not turn into something worse. Relief, although

nobody will say this for certain yet, because they don't want to make

any assumptions, that it appears that we are talking about suspects

that were not under orders from elsewhere, not part of an organised

group. But yes, questions. Questions about why they were known to the

security forces. One may have been stopped on way to Somalia. Why were

they not under closer scrutiny? There are questions that will be

asked by the security services themselves, but also by the Security

committee, chaired by Sir Malcolm Rifkind. Whatever their verdict,

whether they believe more could have been done or, realistically, no more

could be done, it will raise longer term questions. The estimates

behind-the-scenes are put at 2000-3000, able who have murderous

thoughts, who but murderous words about what they think about British

soldiers and others on the streets of Britain. How do you stop those

turning into murderous deeds? Is it a question of more resources, more

surveillance, what compromises to civil liberties are we willing to

tolerate in order to scrutinise them more? Tonight, the one remaining

emotion is shock. The shock that a man who survived the Taliban could

not survive life walking the streets for their patients to relieve the

pressure on hospital casualty departments according to the Health

Secretary Jeremy Hunt. His comments followed an outspoken

attack on the government by the British Medical Association. It says

that doctors are not prepared to shore up an emergency care system

that has become unsafe because of political meddling. Our health

correspondent Branwen Jeffreys reports.

For decades, family doc tours were called out of bed at night for their

patients. -- doctors. It was exhausting and made it hard to

recruit GPs. In 2004, a new contract allowed them to opt out. Most jumped

at the chance. Now they are angry the Health Secretary is blaming that

change for recent pressures on A&E. GPs say it is just not that simple.

That is a childish and quite superficial analysis. He is trying

to argue that a tree is not a tree. It is just silly. The GP contract

has been around since 2004. The problems at A&E of very recent. For

almost a decade, out-of-hours services had been organised by your

local NHS. Groups of GPs bid for the contract. The government says it

wants your family doctor to take more responsibility for youth but

what does that mean? Neither politicians or doctors think it is

sensible to go back to GPs seeing new out of hours. Organising

out-of-hours care? Not that either. Planning that is likely to stay with

the new Clinical Commissioning Group's. They manage most of the

budget for your local NHS. Today, Jeremy Hunt told me he was not

trying to pick a row with the GPs. We need to go back to the best

traditions of family doctoring, and in particular, the idea that someone

is responsible for vulnerable older people outside hospital.

So what are patients to make of this? Experts say it is wrong to

lame GPs at A&E. I hear a lot of GPs saying that for elderly patients

with a lot of chronic conditions that continuity, seeing the same GP,

is really quite important. Every year, the government negotiates the

GPs contract -- the GPs negotiate their contract.

This year, they may have more to haggle over.

President Obama says the USA is safer because of his

administration's efforts to tackle terrorism and he defended America's

use of unmanned air strikes. Four US citizens have been killed in drone

strike since 2009. To date there have been 368 strikes in Pakistan

and between 46 and 56 unmanned strikes in Yemen. The President has

also reaffirmed his intention to close the US detention camp at

Guantanamo Bay, as our North America editor Mark Mardell reports.

The president who scorns the very idea of a war on terror has

dramatically increased the use of drone strikes to kill terrorists.

The president who promised to close the prison at Grant and obey has

failed and faces a hunger strike there. -- one tonne obey. But he

says America is at eight cross roads. Now it is from home-grown

extremists and foreign groups. He announced in the future there should

be fewer drone strikes and of rules governing them will be tighter and

made public. Before any strike is taken, there must be near certainty

that no civilians will be killed or injured. The highest standard we can

set. They will only be drone strikes against those who oppose an imminent

threat against the US, the ban on sending people back to Yemen will be

lifted and there will be a fresh attempt to get people back to trail.

You command in it today! History will cast a harsh judgement on this

aspect of our fight against terrorism and those of us that

failed to end it. Imagine the future, ten years from now, 20 years

from now, when the United States is still holding people who have been

charged with no crime on land that is not part of our country. But

protesters were hardly satisfied either. I am disappointed, I wanted

to vote for him this time around. Bush may have started this at

President Obama has kept it going and done just as much he -- as he

has. The Republicans have effectively stopped him from closing

Guantanamo. There was no suggestion why the hard politics have changed,

why it is any easier now to make those old promises become a reality.

Net migration, the difference between the number of people coming

to and leaving the UK, has fallen by a third. In the year to September

2011, 242,000 more people came to the UK than left. But in the most

recent figures, that number has now fallen to 153,000 more. This was

affected in part by a sharp fall of 56,000 coming to study in Britain.

Immigration from newer members of the Commonwealth and European Union

also dropped significantly. The man accused of abducting and

murdering five-year-old April Jones in Mid Wales last October has told a

court that he felt sick with fear the night the schoolgirl died. Mark

Bridger claims he didn't kill April but said he had caused her death by

accidentally running over her in his Land Rover. He said couldn't

remember where he had left her body. He denies the charges against him,

as Hywel Griffith reports. Scouring the countryside for any

trace of the missing girl, the search for April Jones became the

largest in UK police history. It lasted nearly seven months. The

five-year-old 's body has never been found. The man accused of her murder

says he cannot remember what he did with her. In court, Mark Bridger was

quizzed several times about his memory loss and his claim to have

run over April in an accident. He was challenged to explain how a

seven-year-old girl had seen April happy and smiling as she got into

his car. She was confused, he replied, she was lying. Asked about

what his memory was of what happened parents listened intently, as Mark

Ritchie was asked if he was a paedophile. No, he replied -- Mark

Bridger. The indecent images found on his computer were to help his own

children learn about sex, he explained. Traces of April Jones's

blood were found in his home. He said he can remember laying a pull

down in front of his fire but not what happens next. -- leading April

down. He became angry when it was suggested this was the scene of a

sexual assault. He told others that he knew nothing about April's

disappearance but today he accepted that had been a lie. He says it was

because he wanted to find April. Global stock markets have fallen

today after the news that Chinese manufacturing output fell for the

first time in seven months and fears that the US Federal Reserve may slow

its stimulus programme. Japan's main index of shares, the Nikkei, closed

more than 7% down. European markets also slipped. Our chief economics

correspondent Hugh Pym is here. In recent weeks we have been talking

about significant gains on these markets so what is going on?

The nerves in Asia filter through to Europe pretty quickly. London saw

its biggest one-day drop for nearly a year. Only yesterday, the FTSE 100

was close to an all-time high. There has been a general mood of

confidence, helped by central banks pumping more money out there. Then

we had a hint from the US Federal reserve is that it may start pulling

back from that policy. Then we expected Chinese growth figures to

rattle the markets in Asia. Tonight in Wall Street, no further falls. Is

the party over? It is too early to say. The London market is still up

nearly 14% on the year to date Tokyo nearly 40%. Thank you.

It's 25 years since the opening of Tate Liverpool, the first time a

Tate gallery was established outside London. The plan had its critics but

supporters, including Lord Heseltine, then a government

minister, thought it would help regenerate the city following riots

and years of decline. Our arts editor Will Gompertz considers its

impact. Mondrian, bacon, anti-war hole, some

of the biggest names in modern art can be found at hate Liverpool which

can we said for the last 25 years -- Tate Liverpool. This is Liverpool's

Albert Dock which once contained tobacco, tea and silk imported from

the far east. This used to be the beating heart of an international

trading port. By 1981 and the Liverpool riots, the docks were a

decaying relic of those glory days. Some spoke of managing Liverpool's

decline. The then Secretary of State for environment argued it was

investment that the city needed. Activity is what we were looking

for. Confidence. Investment. I do not claim credit for doing anything

other than announcing the Tate of the North but I saw the wide

opportunity of a positive initiative, of looking onwards and

up words as opposed to saying it is all finished.

The gallery opened on the 24th of May 1988, forming part of a

revitalised Albert dock. The current mayor of Liverpool which is the

transformation. I used to go swimming in the summer, going into

the derelict warehouse and climbing the rafters. Now they have been

brought back to life it is fantastic to see. It is part of what Liverpool

has to offer to the world. Tate Liverpool's success has been

mirrored by local authorities across the country. It became a template

for rejuvenation in Gateshead, Wakefield, London and Margate. It

proved a sound investment, in hindsight. In the mid-80s if you had

said, take some modern art outside London, make it available, and that

would regenerate the community, they would have thought you were mad. It

was very bold of my predecessor to do it and it has been an astonishing

success. Liverpool has changed significantly over the past 25
