Good evening. Three more men have been arrested tonight as the police

investigation continues into the murder of Drummer Lee Rigby. They

were held on suspicion of conspiracy to commit murder. Two of them work

is as officers carried out the arrests. The Prime Minister has said

that Downing Street will launch a task force aimed at countering

extremism. As the Woolwich investigation

continues, more police activity tonight in south London. Three more

men have been arrested by counterterrorism detectives backed

up by armed officers. Police had to use an electronic stun gun on two of

the men. I thought it was a bomb, it was really loud. Three days after

Drummer Lee Rigby's savage death, a total of six people are now in

custody. Those arrested tonight are being held on suspicion of

conspiracy to commit murder. The two main suspects in this case are still

being treated in hospital. Tonight it has emerged that Downing Street

plans to respond directly to what happened here last Wednesday. The

Prime Minister is setting up a task force to tackle extremism and

radicalisation. Success in governments have spent millions on

the existing strategy, known as prevent. It has been heavily

criticised. It says the new approach will have a sharper focus on the

threat from Islamist extremism. There is a definite need for a

rethink according to one community leader in Birmingham. We have to be

sure that they now about these new narratives and are fully up-to-date

on some of the local authors -- some of the local issues. That is where

there has been a failure. We seem to rely on people and institutions who

think they know, but the understanding on the ground is very

different. This BBC programme carried the claim that the security

service MI5 tried unsuccessfully to recruit one of the Woolwich

suspects. The claim came from a friend of Michael Adebowale. He said

that initially they wanted to ask him to do he knew certain

individuals. But after he said that he did not know these individuals,

they asked him if he would be interested in working for them. He

was explicit in that he refused to work for them. Shortly after the

recording the interviewee was arrested at the BBC. His claim about

MI5 is uncorroborated. He also claimed that Michael Adebowale had

been arrested in tenure. Tonight this was denied by the Kenyan

government. In Woolwich, people continue to lay flowers at the spot

where Lee Rigby's life was taken. While his family grieve, Drummer

Rigby is in the thoughts of those who knew him and many who did not.

Well, let's get the latest on tonight's arrests from Stuart

Flinders, who's in Greenwich. Stuart. Two of the three men

arrested, 24-year-old under 20 girl man, were arrested at a residential

property. A third man was arrested in the street, not far from here. Of

the three, two were arrested with the use of the teaser. The man in

the street and one at a residential address, all three on suspicion of

conspiracy to commit murder. We have not had official confirmation from

the police that this is the site of the arrests at the residential

address, but it will here tell us there was lots of police activity

today. Many have said that they saw shots being fired by Mendes believed

to be police officers. That could have been the sound of the stun guns

being used. We do know that there are three more arrests tonight in

connection with the killing of Lee Rigby.

Well, our political correspondent Robin Brant is here. Robin. What

about the business of the government task force?

It is clear tonight as the investigation is unfolding that at

the top of government they are looking at his controversial

strategy that you heard my colleagues speak about. David

Cameron is in charge. There will be top ministers but we do not know

when it will need. Downing Street sources are telling me that they

want to build on it, but they say it would be foolish not to look at how

things are being done. The language is revealing. The Prime Minister

wants to looked at the powers available to deal with extremist

preachers. They want to look at the measures being used in universities

and prisons. They say they are not being maximised. The context is

important. This is a government that has reduced funding for this prevent

strategy. It is more targeted, but they'd is less money. Went to reason

may unveiled this review, the announced measures, one of which was

blocking file and websites. I am told that two years on that is still

at the developmental stage. Thank you very much.

A French soldier has been stabbed in the neck while on patrol in a

business district on the outskirts of Paris. His unidentified attacker

fled the scene and is being hunted by police. The soldier's injuries

are not believed to be life-threatening. The French

president, Francois Hollande, said it was too early to link the

incident with the attack in Woolwich.

Funerals have been held in Pakistan for 16 children, some as young as

six, who were killed by a fire on a school bus near the eastern city of

Gujarat. A teacher is also thought to have died in the vehicle.

The introduction of universal credit and the building of the High Speed

Two rail line are in danger of wasting millions of pounds of public

money, according to a government-appointed spending

watchdog. The schemes are among more than 30 coalition policy spending

commitments that the Major Projects Authority is concerned about. The

government says the worries are unfounded and the figures out of

date. Our political correspondent Alan Soady reports.

The danger list has 31 projects, with red or amber warnings for ones

which have already gone wrong or are at serious risk of costing more or

running late. It includes plans for the railways, defence and major

benefits changes. One of those changes is universal credit, pulling

together various benefits and tax credits. It has been tried in

greater Manchester. Three other trials have been delayed and the

report warns it could run into trouble. The failure to get

universal credit right could have a severe impact on thousands of people

severe impact on thousands of people across the UK. There is a human cost

and cost to the taxpayers. Ministers deny there is a robber with the

welfare changes and overall they say the report says that there are being

open and honest with taxpayers. Many projects are said to be going well,

but some of those which are not our among the biggest and most

among the biggest and most expensive. As �7 billion contract to

buy aircraft carriers has been dogged by delays. The report says

that there is no hope of it being on that there is no hope of it being on

time or on budget. The report shows the difficulty the government has in

getting big projects delivered. It is not new to the government but the

additional urgency felt by the present administration is that they

need to get these projects delivered to secure growth. The plan to build

the high-speed two rail line has also been questioned, with a warning

it is likely to become more costly run late. The government is playing

down the concerns in the report, insisting its flagship projects are

on track. A zookeeper has died in hospital

after being mauled by a tiger at a wildlife park in Cumbria. Sarah

McClay, who was 24, was attacked in the big cats enclosure at South

Lakes Wild Animal Park. The park's owner described her as a passionate

and experienced keeper. Ed Thomas reports.

South Lakes Wild Animal Park stayed open today, but the big cats in

closure was empty. For ten years, the Samaritan tigers have been one

of the main attractions but yesterday, the male tiger turned on

his keeper, killing 24-year-old Sarah McClay. She had worked with

them for over a year and was said to be passionate about her job. She was

feeding the Jaguars before the attack, but staff do not know why

she was in the enclosure alone with the tigers. Without notifying in a

buddy and without anyone in, she has undone three locks, padlock and two

bolts and open the door and walked straight into the tigers. Visitors

to the parks of what happened, and staff fired warning shots at the

tigers so they could get to Sarah McClay, but she later died in

hospital. The tigers are now said to be kept in a darkened room, away

from the public. We and stand that they'd enclosure is made up of �3

and each one has three locks, some electronic, some manual. It is

designed to keep the keepers away from the animals. We are looking at

human factors, with the rate be deliberate, reckless or accidental

or whether it is a technical failure of equipment. All of these issues

need to be looked at. Sarah McClay's family are said to be

distraught. Police are investigating her an experienced member of staff

lost their life. Now the sport from the BBC Sport

Centre. Thank you. Bayern Munich are

Champions of Europe for the fifth time. After a painful defeat on

penalties to Chelsea last year, they beat Borussia Dortmund tonight 2-1

in the first all-German Champions League final. Andy Swiss reports

from Wembley. Trafalgar Square, but not quite as

we know it. It was a day that London was taken over by Germany has

150,000 fans, most without tickets, revelled in the sunshine. And all

German final, in the home of English league goal. For the visitors, as

sweet as it gets. This is one of the greatest idioms in the world.

is something really special. We can show the world that Germany plays

good football. This is not the final England had in mind, hosting another

country's party, but for German food all, a moment of history. Never

before had you's biggest prize been tussled for white two German teams.

Keep the match now match the occasion? It was the underdogs that

came out smiling with a riskier dark mint dominant. Bayern Munich soon

responded, denied by fingertips, woodwork and in the case of Arjen

Robben, the face of the goalkeeper. Plenty of drama but no goals. Not

for much longer as the Bayern Munich pressure finally told. Mario

Mandzukic put them in front. Then it was a penalty for Borussia

Dortmund. It was enthralling stuff. Extra time seemed to betting but

with two minutes left, Arjen Robben seized his moment. One year after

heartbreak in the final, no zero was on you -- now there was only

euphoria. A great night for German football, but a glorious one for

Bayern Munich. 22-year-old Joe Root made his maiden

Test century to calm England's nerves on day two of the second Test

against New Zealand. The Yorkshire pair of Root and Jonny Bairstow

helped England to 337 for seven on their home ground, Headingley.

Patrick Gearey watched the action. * delay, perfect conditions for

cricket, bright if a little bracing at first. No room for cold hands. It

was a morning session for strange costumes were eclipsed by stranger

shots. Jonathan Trott's unnecessary neck was followed by one run

Alastair Cook later. The England fightback was made in Yorkshire. Joe

Root and Jonny Bairstow led the way. The biggest roar would be for Joe

Root. He could not have picked a better place to score his first test

century. The Yorkshire hope got the Headingley salute. The new homes you

could not survive the new ball. He was bowled out for 104 and that

prompted a flurry of wickets. Jonny Bairstow followed. This is a day

that will inspire in glitch caution as well as confidence.

Leicester have won a record tenth English title, beating Northampton

by 37 points to 17. Northampton also made history, their captain Dylan

Hartley, became the first player to be sent off during a Premiership

final. He could now miss the British and Irish Lions tour to Australia.

Rob Heath reports. Scarcely can a premiership final

have had such a dizzying effect. Leicester fans knew that they were

hot favourites and that seemed justified when they searched over.

They were soon winning 10-0. Not Hampton had been stumbling in their

maiden final but at last they started to March. They had this

touchdown. Northampton had the momentum. This player stayed on the

pitch, but 20 minutes later, his captain did not. The referee claimed

that Dylan Hartley called him a cheat. Dylan Hartley said that his

words were aimed at the opposition. His Lions places in doubt. Not

Hampton managed to score two tries after the break, but Leicester

managed three. Northampton were playing catch up. When Leicester

went over this time, they were assured of a tense premiership

title. Dylan Hartley was lost for words. The volume was all from

Leicester. And Leinster have won their second

trophy of the season, beating Ulster 24 points to 18 in the Pro 12 final

in Dublin. Germany's Nico Rosberg is on pole

position for tomorrow's Monaco Grand Prix. He'll be joined on the front

row by his Mercedes team-mate Lewis Hamilton. It's Rosberg's third

consecutive pole position and a fourth in a row for Mercedes.

And Lee Westwood is one shot off the lead going in to the final day of

Wentworth's PGA Championship. That's all your sport. A reminder of the

main news tonight. Three more men have been arrested by

counterterrorism officers on suspicion of conspiracy to murder as

they investigate the killing of soldier Lee Rigby.

That's all from us for now. There will be continuing coverage of all

the day's news throughout the night on the BBC News channel. But from

manage to make the most of the sunshine today. Tomorrow, as far as

north-western parts of the UK are concerned, it will be more cloudy.

There will be spots of rain but most of us will keep the sunshine and

temperatures will be a few degrees higher. This evening, we have the

spots of rain already across Northern Ireland and the West of

Scotland. They will stay for some time but for the majority it will be

a clear night, and Chile as well. The heat will escape into the

atmosphere. Seven degrees in town centres but in rural spots we could

get down to two degrees, which is cold enough for ground frost. The

sun will be strong and it will warm up quickly. In some spots,

temperatures getting to 21 degrees. In Northern Ireland and Scotland,

more cloudy, and there will be some showers. Guess what? On bank holiday

Monday, things will change and already tomorrow evening the signs

will be visible on the edge with this rain. It is because low
