Hello, you're watching Newsround, this Thursday afternoon. | :00:12. | :00:13. | |
First to London, where many people have come forward to praise | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
the emergency services for the work they did to keep people safe | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
after a serious attack in the capital yesterday. | :00:20. | :00:21. | |
Four people died, including a policeman and the man | :00:22. | :00:23. | |
Hi, Jenny, I'm near to the Houses of Parliament in Westminster in London. | :00:24. | :00:44. | |
Westminster Bridge has been reopened. | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
It's been a day of tributes to the people who have died | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
and been hurt in this attack and to the emergency services who've | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
I've been looking into exactly what happened here yesterday. | :00:56. | :01:02. | |
A minute's silence at the houses of parliament in London, the lights | :01:03. | :01:09. | |
turning off of the Eiffel Tower in France, a flag at half-mast as a | :01:10. | :01:15. | |
sign of respect. Just some of the tributes to the people who lost | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
their lives in an attack on Westminster on Wednesday afternoon. | :01:21. | :01:28. | |
MPs paid tribute to the victims and bravery of the emergency services. | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
We will remember the exceptional livery of our police, and emergency | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
services, who once again ran towards the danger while they encouraged | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
others to go the other way. On the half of the whole country and want | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
to pay tribute to them for the work they have been doing to reassure the | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
public, treat the injured and bring security back to the streets of our | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
capital city. Police say a man drove a car over Westminster Bridge on | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
Wednesday afternoon knocking people over. Many were hurt and some of | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
them have died. He attacked a policeman before being shot and | :02:03. | :02:10. | |
killed by police. The police officer who was attacked sadly died. These | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
are investigating what happened and why. They say the man who carried | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
out the attack was born in Britain and they believe he was influenced | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
by international terrorism. The group that calls itself Islamic | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
State said it carried out the attack, but that hasn't been | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
confirmed. In London, people have been going about their everyday | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
lives, but there are still lots of extra police on the streets of | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
London to make sure people feel safe. | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
So, Ayshah, what is it like in London today? | :02:40. | :02:46. | |
Westminster Bridge has reopened, so things are getting back to normal. I | :02:47. | :02:55. | |
am a Londoner and it feels a little bit louder than it would be with | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
sirens and helicopters, but apart from that it is quite normal. I went | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
to speak to some kids at a school in London about what happened. | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
When I first heard about the attacks, I was quite scared that | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
more would happen and more people would die. | :03:12. | :03:13. | |
My mum was playing the radio and we all went in to have dinner. | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
She told us all to be quiet and we all started listening | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
Like, I have got younger siblings and they didn't understand. | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
I found out as soon as I got out of class and I got my phone | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
because that's when my mum calls me every day. | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
She works in that sort of area and I was glad | :03:31. | :03:32. | |
My two aunties weren't allowed to leave their work | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
So, I was a bit scared, but when they found out | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
that they could leave and I was happy again. | :03:41. | :03:42. | |
I felt really sad for the people who died. | :03:43. | :03:44. | |
I watched the news for a bit, but I wasn't really that bothered | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
When I came to school I bought the newspaper and put it | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
on the table and I was saying to my friends, "So, | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
In our school, it hasn't really affected us that much, | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
so the overall mood was just kind of normal. | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
The mood just seem a bit gloomier, in a way, and sadder | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
because lots of people were affected by - family members or they knew | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
somebody who was around that area who could've got hurt. | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
My mum told me that there was going to be much more police | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
around and it will be much safer around the area. | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
I think I am just going to do my daily life because I just | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
want to get it out of my head so I don't have to worry about it. | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
Talking to people really helps it go down and helps me | :04:26. | :04:27. | |
Those were some children that they spoke to earlier. Joining me now is | :04:28. | :04:48. | |
the MP, Heidi Alexander. You were caught up in things yesterday. You | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
posted on social media earlier about the emergency services. I will do | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
you think they have done? I think they did an incredible job. The | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
policemen and women, all of the security staff in the House of | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
Commons, the doctors and nurses from Saint Thomas Ince hospital responded | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
very quickly. The man who attacked parliament yesterday was not able to | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
get any more than a couple of metres beyond the gate, so they did an | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
incredible job and they do an incredible job every day of every | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
week of every year so we all wanted to say a big thank you to them. You | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
have gone back to work today in Parliament. Why is that important? I | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
think it is important because the man who carried out the attack | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
yesterday wants people to change the way they go about living in their | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
daily lives. Parliament is a really important place, where we make the | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
laws of the country, where MPs can ask the Prime Minister and other | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
government ministers questions about important issues, so it is really | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
important that we carry on, go back to work and do the things that we | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
need to do in order to keep the country running. Thank you, Heidi, | :06:01. | :06:08. | |
for joining us. When I have been talking to people today they said | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
that London are going back to normal. The hashtag that are | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
trending hourly London is strong, London is open. Act to the studio. | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
Well, this morning, we asked if you had any questions | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
Leah has been looking at them and is with me now. | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
Hi, Jenny, yes lots of people have been in touch. | :06:27. | :06:28. | |
Year 8 at Isebrook SEN College asked, "Why did | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
London is the capital of the UK and Westminster is a really | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
important place and sometimes a target for attacks. | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
But London has some of the best security in place to prevent rare | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
Ashely, who is nine, from Woolwich has been in touch too | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
There are thousands of police officers in London protecting | :06:50. | :06:57. | |
the city and the people who live in it. | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
Londoners will be carrying on with life, going to work | :07:04. | :07:05. | |
or school and while you may notice more police officers on the street | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
Amber aged nine says: "This could affect children in the future | :07:09. | :07:15. | |
If people are worrying, how should they deal with this | :07:16. | :07:22. | |
It's perfectly normal to feel upset or even worried | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
It's really important to talk to friends, teachers or family | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
Always remember that attacks like this are rare and the people | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
who were affected will be getting help to recover | :07:34. | :07:35. | |
