on Westminster Bridge are also among Our Political Editor Helen Catt | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
joins us from Westminster. Helen, South East MPs | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
witnessed what happened. Yes, well if you think this was | :01:19. | :01:32. | |
quite a normal Parliamentary day up until 3pm this afternoon, then a | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
number of our Kent and Sussex MPs were among those who ended up in | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
lockdown in the House of Commons chamber. Several spoke about being | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
on their way to do the usual Parliamentary things like voting for | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
example. One was meeting a school party. They were bundled back into | :01:49. | :01:55. | |
the houses of Parliament and locked down for the rest of the afternoon. | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
Others were in the offices and they had to remain there for the | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
afternoon. It was not just MPs ought up in all of this this afternoon. | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
The attacks started on the Westminster Bridge just before 3pm. | :02:07. | :02:14. | |
A van driver was on the bridge at the time and his van remains there | :02:15. | :02:16. | |
this evening. As we pulled onto Westminster | :02:17. | :02:18. | |
Bridge, we saw people laying on the bridge, | :02:19. | :02:20. | |
and then the SWAT team turned up with paramedics, and they asked us | :02:21. | :02:22. | |
to abandon our vehicle How many people did you see | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
lying on the ground? There was a lady on the pavement | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
at the entrance of the bridge, but there must have been | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
about five more people Tonight, Kent Police say they are | :02:34. | :02:47. | |
mounting additional patrols in the light of what has happened in | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
Westminster today. Yes, they are. The Chief Constable of Kent has said | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
there will be additional patrols, both armed and Armand across the | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
county to make sure Kent remains a safe place to live, work and visit, | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
although they say there was nothing to suggest there is a specific | :03:06. | :03:06. | |
threat to Kent. School children from Kent | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
and Sussex were visiting Westminster at the time, | :03:10. | :03:11. | |
including a group of primary school pupils from Herstmonceux, | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
who were kept under Our reporter Amanda Akass joins | :03:15. | :03:15. | |
us from Hestmonceux. Amanda, have the children | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
got home safely now? Yes, they are back here safe and | :03:19. | :03:31. | |
sound tonight in the village. 15 pupils aged between seven and 11 who | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
were on a school trip to the House of Commons to try to understand a | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
bit more about how democracy is meant to work. Mercifully they were | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
at the other end of the Parliamentary estate when the | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
attacks happened, but they were held in lockdown for more than three | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
hours before they were escorted by police to catch their train home. I | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
spoke to one of those pupils when she arrived back home and was | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
reunited with her mother. She told me it was a frightening experience | :04:03. | :04:03. | |
in the lockdown. Scary because we didn't know | :04:04. | :04:05. | |
what was going to happen And then we had to have ambulance | :04:06. | :04:07. | |
people come in to check us all, and then policemen came | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
in to take us out. Where you relieved when | :04:13. | :04:14. | |
they came to get you? You must be very glad to be back | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
home with your mum now. What are you going | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
to do this evening? So, huge relief for parents waiting | :04:22. | :04:36. | |
at the station to finally get their children back home safe and sound. | :04:37. | :04:37. | |
Indeed, thank you. The former boyfriend of Sussex | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
teenager Shana Grice has been found It took jurors just two hours | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
to decide that Michael Lane cut her throat in her bedroom | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
last August. He'd stalked her in the months | :04:49. | :04:50. | |
before her death, and tonight, Sussex Police have apologised | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
for the way they handled The force now faces | :04:54. | :04:55. | |
an investigation, as One day after Shana Grice's murder, | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
and Michael Lane is being A couple of weeks | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
later, another lie. Her bedroom door was open | :05:05. | :05:14. | |
and she was on the floor. Trying to suggest he had | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
found her dead, but the real story was that when he had gone | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
to her flat that morning, Shana Grice was brutally murdered | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
in her own home by Michael Lane. Lane had become obsessed | :05:25. | :05:32. | |
with her and could not accept that she did not | :05:33. | :05:34. | |
want to be with him. In July, the month before | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
Shana Grice was murdered, Michael Lane was reported | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
to the police on three He stole a key to her house and let | :05:43. | :05:44. | |
himself into her bedroom The following day, Shana Grice | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
reported receiving a series Then, three days later, | :05:50. | :05:56. | |
she reported that she was being Jurors heard police treated | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
the incident as low risk. The day after Michael Lane | :06:01. | :06:07. | |
crept into her bedroom, Shana Grice challenged him | :06:08. | :06:09. | |
in a phone conversation On one occasion, Michael Lane | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
was reported to police for assaulting Shana, | :06:14. | :06:41. | |
and she was fined for It is very concerning, | :06:42. | :06:43. | |
but it is not surprising. We hear from people every day | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
on the National Stalking Helpline saying they have reported | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
the stalking to the police, but it does not seem to have been | :06:52. | :06:53. | |
recognised or taken seriously. After Shana Grice's death, | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
Lane went to get his lottery ticket checked and came up | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
with a string of lies You ain't going to believe me, | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
but that's up to you. Nobody did believe him | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
and Shana Grice's family said police should have | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
taken her fears seriously. The Independent Police Complaints | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
Commission has now launched an investigation into how | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
Sussex Police handled this case, and Michael Lane will be | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
sentenced tomorrow. Leanne Rinne's with me | :07:22. | :07:27. | |
here in the studio. Leanne, Sussex Police have | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
apologised to Shana Grice's family. Yes, they have, which is very | :07:31. | :07:39. | |
unusual because the Independent and eight commission has not finished | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
their investigation. But today, the Deputy Chief Constable of Sussex | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
Police said, "When we looked at the circumstances leading to Shana | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
Grice's murder, we felt we may not have done the best we could". Sussex | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
Police have carried out a review into how they handle stalking cases | :07:57. | :07:57. | |
to make changes, but tonight, Shana to make changes, but tonight, Shana | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
Grice's family are clear. They say that if police had done more, she | :08:04. | :08:04. | |
would still be alive today. Police are hunting a criminal gang | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
targeting Ford Transit vans to steal thousands of pounds worth of tools | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
in the South East, using a "master-key" tool that can be | :08:11. | :08:12. | |
bought online for just ?20. Online retailers, including Amazon, | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
are facing criticism for selling the device, | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
which is made in China. Our Special Correspondent Colin | :08:20. | :08:21. | |
Campbell has this exclusive story. Van thieves in action | :08:22. | :08:24. | |
in Kent just a week ago. The gang suspected to be | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
using a master key lock pick device. On Friday night in Tunbridge Wells, | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
it was landscape gardener Nick I've lost my tools, | :08:32. | :08:41. | |
so there are no jobs that I can do without hiring equipment, | :08:42. | :08:49. | |
which will be an expense This Ford Transit was | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
broken into that evening. We are investigating a number | :08:53. | :09:02. | |
of offences in the west of Kent, where we suspect a master key | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
may have been used. Made in China, there | :09:06. | :09:07. | |
are tutorials on YouTube on how We've chosen to blur out | :09:08. | :09:13. | |
the name the product, but it can be bought legally | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
on Amazon and other online We asked a security expert to show | :09:19. | :09:36. | |
van drivers how the device works. If I press it a second time, let's see | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
if the back doors are now unlocked. I'm quite amazed that you can buy | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
something like that. Thousands of pounds worth | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
of stuff in the van, yes. The amount of calls we get per week | :09:47. | :09:53. | |
from Ford owners who have been broken into with no visible damage, | :09:54. | :09:59. | |
it would seem they are using Police are urging van drivers | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
to remove tools and equipment from vehicles, and consider | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
investing in better locks, CCTV and to park in well lit | :10:06. | :10:07. | |
and secure areas and report We'll bring you the national weather | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
forecast in a moment, but first here's the picture | :10:11. | :10:23. | |
in the South East Today was wet and windy, further | :10:24. | :10:32. | |
outbreaks of rain through tonight, so overnight tempered is not as cold | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
as last night, dropping to three or 4 degrees. Thursday starts with some | :10:37. | :10:42. | |
rain it will be breezy for stop and have got easterly winds. By the | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
afternoon there will be some sunshine around. Driest in the | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
middle of the day. As we head to the afternoon, further outbreaks of rain | :10:51. | :10:57. | |
along the coast. Top temperatures, highs of ten or 11 Celsius. Here is | :10:58. | :10:59. | |
the outlook: decent day. Saturday could be a much | :11:00. | :11:00. | |
better day, with some sunshine. It certainly was a pretty wet day | :11:01. | :11:12. | |
across parts of the country, lots of downpours around. This is a picture | :11:13. | :11:19. | |
from Kent, not particularly nice. We still have some rain on the way for | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
tonight. Tomorrow morning, some of that when we'll be lingering, but | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
there is sunshine on the way later tomorrow. This is the rain bearing | :11:27. | :11:33. | |
cloud for today. You can see the front sweeping northwards across the | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
country. Still some heavy rain around the northern areas. To the | :11:38. | :11:40. | |
south of the rain band, it is relatively mild compared to | :11:41. | :11:46. | |
Scotland, where it could be | :11:47. | :11:47. |
