:00:30. > :00:32.What I can confirm is that the man was British-born and that some years

:01:56. > :02:04.It has been a sombre, reflective day at the Palace of Westminster.
:02:05. > :02:13.We are on the edge of the Peace Corps in which is still in place as
:02:14. > :02:14.we speak. The police are still concluding the final investigation.
:02:15. > :02:17.It has been a sombre, reflective day at the Palace of Westminster.
:02:18. > :02:20.The thoughts of everyone remain with the family of the murdered
:02:21. > :02:22.Policeman Keith Palmer and two other people killed as they walked
:02:23. > :02:24.across Westminster bridge yesterday afternoon.
:02:25. > :02:26.In total 29 people were injured, among them 13 nationalities,
:02:27. > :02:31.several we are told remain in a critical condition.
:02:32. > :02:33.This morning, Parliament paused for a minutes
:02:34. > :02:38.The Queen expressed her sympathies for those killed and in the past
:02:39. > :02:42.hour hundreds of people have gathered for a vigil
:02:43. > :02:46.in Trafalgar Square, just a short walk away.
:02:47. > :02:49.Candles were lit for the three victims who lost their lives,
:02:50. > :02:55.We know much more about the man suspected of
:02:56. > :02:59.Khaled Massood, a 52-year-old British man from Kent,
:03:00. > :03:01.he had a number of previous convictions for violence,
:03:02. > :03:04.and he was on the periphery of a terror investigation some years
:03:05. > :03:07.ago, though he was not currently on the radar
:03:08. > :03:11.This evening the police said that eight people,
:03:12. > :03:14.three women and five men, have been arrested in London
:03:15. > :03:17.and Birmingham on suspicion of preparation of terrorist acts.
:03:18. > :03:28.Let s get our first report from our special correspondent, Lucy Manning.
:03:29. > :03:36.With a car and a knife, he brought terror to Parliament. He is the lead
:03:37. > :03:41.Masood, a British-born attacker, known to the police with a 20 year
:03:42. > :03:45.criminal record, though not for terrorism. The 52-year-old
:03:46. > :03:51.responsible for the murder of a policeman, a mother on her way to
:03:52. > :03:55.collect the children and. The lead Masood was born in Kent and was most
:03:56. > :04:00.recently living in the West Midlands. He had a range of previous
:04:01. > :04:04.convictions including GB huge, possession of offensive weapons and
:04:05. > :04:08.public order offences. His last conviction was in 2003 for
:04:09. > :04:13.possession of a knife. He was also known by a number of aliases and he
:04:14. > :04:18.was known to security services. What I can confirm is that the man was
:04:19. > :04:23.British-born and that some years ago he was once investigated by MI5 in
:04:24. > :04:29.relation to concerns about violent extremism. He was a peripheral
:04:30. > :04:34.figure. The case is historic. He was not part of the current intelligence
:04:35. > :04:37.picture. There was no prior intelligence of his intent or of the
:04:38. > :04:46.plot. Intensive investigations continue. Just metres from where the
:04:47. > :04:49.Prime Minister spoke, on their knees, police slowly, meticulously
:04:50. > :04:55.searching for evidence on the same ground where one of their own lay
:04:56. > :04:58.just yesterday to stop determined to find out everything they can about
:04:59. > :05:03.the man who murdered PC Keith Palmer in the shadow of the then and ran
:05:04. > :05:08.over those are just walking on Westminster Bridge. Not just routine
:05:09. > :05:12.police work, this time, it is personal. Across the country,
:05:13. > :05:18.overnight, police swung into action. A flat in Birmingham was raided.
:05:19. > :05:24.Neighbours said they thought Masood lived there recently. Also in
:05:25. > :05:28.Birmingham, in the Ladywood area, filmed by neighbours, heavily armed
:05:29. > :05:33.officers searched another flat. Locals said it was like a scene from
:05:34. > :05:41.the film. Like a war. Down the street, like something you only see
:05:42. > :05:49.in movies. I saw it from behind my windows on the street. It was very
:05:50. > :05:54.frightening. It was like, what the hell is happening here? As well as
:05:55. > :06:00.searches in Birmingham police also raided homes and made arrests in the
:06:01. > :06:04.forest gate area of east London. In Wales, Surrey and Sussex, a total of
:06:05. > :06:09.eight people have been arrested in six separate locations. It is now
:06:10. > :06:15.known the people he turned into a weapon was a rental car he retired
:06:16. > :06:20.in Birmingham in the Spring Hill branch of enterprise cards. There
:06:21. > :06:24.has been intense police activity all day in Birmingham. With the attacker
:06:25. > :06:30.dead, the focus is on his friends and family, whether they knew about
:06:31. > :06:35.his motivations, his intentions, whether he had only help with the
:06:36. > :06:39.attack on parliament. It is still our belief, which is point out about
:06:40. > :06:44.our investigation, that the attacker acted alone and was inspired by
:06:45. > :06:47.international terrorism. To be explicit, at this stage, we have no
:06:48. > :06:52.significant information about further threat to the public.
:06:53. > :06:56.So-called Islamic State, without providing any evidence, and the
:06:57. > :07:01.attacker was, as they described him, one of their soldiers. The police
:07:02. > :07:05.are now attracting Masood's movements. The man who put into a
:07:06. > :07:12.car and drove terror into the heart of Westminster.
:07:13. > :07:21.There is a lot of discussion about the investigation. Each of these
:07:22. > :07:28.stories about the victims seems heartbreaking. A lot of people have
:07:29. > :07:32.spoken about how London must pick itself up and get on with it. We
:07:33. > :07:36.will do that, because we have been here before, but there is heartfelt
:07:37. > :07:41.sadness for the three victims. In terrorist attacks are always tragic
:07:42. > :07:43.stories but particularly so in this instance because you have a mother
:07:44. > :07:49.who was crossing the bridge were going to pick up her daughters who
:07:50. > :07:52.were waiting in a school. I am a father, you can imagine what it must
:07:53. > :07:58.be like for children to be working there for the mother who doesn't
:07:59. > :08:01.arrive. Kurt Cochran and his wife, Melissa, who worked at the end of a
:08:02. > :08:05.vacation. They probably spent a lot of money on it, they had been around
:08:06. > :08:09.Europe, they came here to see her parents who are working in London.
:08:10. > :08:15.They are Mormon missionaries. They were due to go back today and then,
:08:16. > :08:19.of course, the story of PC Keith Palmer, he gave his life to service
:08:20. > :08:24.in the Royal Artillery and then in the Metropolitan Police. When
:08:25. > :08:29.everyone was running away from the violence, he was running towards it
:08:30. > :08:33.and without a weapon. Just selfless bravery which is sad indeed, when
:08:34. > :08:37.you reflect on what happened to him. Londoners will get on with it but in
:08:38. > :08:39.the mind of everybody as they make their way home, they will be
:08:40. > :08:45.thinking especially of those three people. Let's speak to our security
:08:46. > :08:53.correspondent, Frank Gardner. We are learning more about coloured Masood.
:08:54. > :08:59.Not a typical profile, quite old and he has not been inside since 2003.
:09:00. > :09:05.Yes, unusual. He was known to the police and MI5, but he was not an
:09:06. > :09:10.anti-terror watch list. He had an extensive record for petty crime,
:09:11. > :09:14.mainly for violent assault, possession of a knife, grievous
:09:15. > :09:19.bodily harm, but he had not been in trouble with the law since 2003. He
:09:20. > :09:23.was peripheral. He was not an anti-terror watch list. That is
:09:24. > :09:28.quite worrying because there will be many others like him. He was
:09:29. > :09:34.relatively old for a jihadist, 52. It is not unheard of. There was
:09:35. > :09:39.somebody who blew himself up in Iraq, the British jihadist, if you
:09:40. > :09:48.weeks ago and he was 51. Generally, most jihadists are in their teens
:09:49. > :09:53.and 20s. We had this situation yesterday where we had 68 nations
:09:54. > :09:57.meeting here in Washington, promising to commit themselves to
:09:58. > :10:01.try and eradicate the threat from Islamic terrorism. What have these
:10:02. > :10:04.these terms like soldier of Islamic State and we don't know what that
:10:05. > :10:11.means, that shows just how difficult it is, doesn't it? That is Islamic
:10:12. > :10:15.State digging itself up. It is possible they didn't know about this
:10:16. > :10:20.and there were no actual communications between Islamic State
:10:21. > :10:23.and this man. It is possible that a posthumous video, in martyrdom
:10:24. > :10:28.video, will appear afterwards. He does seem to have largely acted on
:10:29. > :10:32.his own. There is no such thing as a completely lone wolf attack. There
:10:33. > :10:39.will be digital footprints. GCHQ will be looking into what is
:10:40. > :10:43.encrypted on his computer to work out who he had been in touch with
:10:44. > :10:47.and who he had met. Forensics will look at the fingerprints in the car
:10:48. > :10:52.to see who else had been in it. He is a strange character. Born in Kent
:10:53. > :10:56.in south-east England, he lived in Luton which has been described as a
:10:57. > :11:00.hotbed of Islamic fundamentalism, where some people referred to him as
:11:01. > :11:05.the vampire because neighbours said he would always go out only at night
:11:06. > :11:08.and dressed in black. The body is suggesting he drank blood, but he
:11:09. > :11:14.was a strange character, very conflicted and this is a very
:11:15. > :11:18.typical. A large number of jihadists attackers have a criminal or violent
:11:19. > :11:24.records that have nothing to do with terrorism and it is hard to spot
:11:25. > :11:27.them. Thank you Frank. The British Foreign Secretary, Boris Johnson has
:11:28. > :11:29.been here in the US since Tuesday attending the meeting of the
:11:30. > :11:30.coalition against so-called Islamic State.
:11:31. > :11:33.This morning, he appeared on MSNBC's Morning Joe where I spoke
:11:34. > :11:41.The Prime Minister said something interesting which points to a
:11:42. > :11:46.problem with intelligence services, which is that this figure had been
:11:47. > :11:49.peripheral in previous investigations, but was not
:11:50. > :11:54.currently part of any intelligence investigations. It is hard, isn't
:11:55. > :11:59.it? Intelligence services have to prioritise and they clearly did not
:12:00. > :12:03.prioritise this individual. It has happened before with the leader of
:12:04. > :12:06.the 7-7 attacks who was under surveillance and then it wasn't
:12:07. > :12:12.under surveillance, how do we make those choices? I understand where
:12:13. > :12:21.you are going with this. This is not something I can get into. Suffice it
:12:22. > :12:24.to say, we have, in London, as is almost certainly the case in New
:12:25. > :12:28.York and many other great metropolises, there are a number of
:12:29. > :12:31.people who are under surveillance, people who are objects of concern.
:12:32. > :12:42.The important thing to realise is that the kind of extremism that they
:12:43. > :12:46.espouse is dangerous, it all too often leads to their involvement, or
:12:47. > :12:52.there would be involvement in terrorist acts. I am afraid they
:12:53. > :12:57.require a huge amount of surveillance, of monitoring and they
:12:58. > :13:06.move up and down the hierarchy of risk.
:13:07. > :13:12.The Foreign Secretary sounded like I was trying to criticism. It is far
:13:13. > :13:15.too early to know whether the security services demand some kind
:13:16. > :13:20.of criticism. What I was 20 point out is that it is almost impossible,
:13:21. > :13:24.with the resources that intelligence agencies have and equally self, to
:13:25. > :13:28.monitor everybody permanently good comes on their radar. As Frank
:13:29. > :13:32.pointed out, this is not an obvious candidate and he had been off the
:13:33. > :13:39.radar for a long time. These are difficult choices for all Western
:13:40. > :13:41.nations to make. Absolutely. As a former Paris correspondent when I
:13:42. > :13:46.was in France, the French authorities said this all the time.
:13:47. > :13:50.They had thousands of people on there at risk list. The people they
:13:51. > :13:54.thought were a risk to French society and they couldn't monitor
:13:55. > :13:58.them all times. They have to pick those who are the biggest risk of
:13:59. > :14:03.one particular moment and some drop off the list, dropped off the radar
:14:04. > :14:09.and come back on them. I have seen that happen. I can also think of two
:14:10. > :14:14.incidents, one in 2014, similar to this. A man was shouting is slogans
:14:15. > :14:18.out of the window, injured 13 people and he was not, in the strictest
:14:19. > :14:25.sense, a trained Islamic jihadist. He had not been to Syria, he was not
:14:26. > :14:29.a soldier of Islam, if you will, he was someone who was deranged,
:14:30. > :14:34.suffered from depression. The same was true of the man in Nice. He
:14:35. > :14:38.suffered from depression, a loner, broken relationships, petty crime
:14:39. > :14:43.and it looks, and there is a lot we need to find out, but it looks like
:14:44. > :14:47.the Masood might 50s in profile. That is difficult to tackle,
:14:48. > :14:53.especially when they are not using conventional weapons. There are
:14:54. > :14:57.times intelligence services do make mistakes and we will open them up to
:14:58. > :14:59.scrutiny, but it is worth recognising that these are
:15:00. > :15:05.incredibly difficult choices that have to be made with limited
:15:06. > :15:08.resources. Absolutely. You have to have a discussion within countries
:15:09. > :15:14.about how much you put into security and how you close your society. We
:15:15. > :15:17.respect and like the fact that it is free here, especially in this
:15:18. > :15:21.village in Westminster where people can go into Parliament. How much
:15:22. > :15:25.security do you around it will be a debate for the weeks and months to
:15:26. > :15:26.come. Emotions here have been running high within the UK
:15:27. > :15:28.Parliament. MPs paid tribute to those
:15:29. > :15:30.who died, including There was a personal response
:15:31. > :15:35.from an MP who once served with PC The Prime Minister Theresa May said,
:15:36. > :15:52.we will never waver The streets are as busy as ever, the
:15:53. > :15:56.offices of food, copy shops and cafes bustling. As I speak, millions
:15:57. > :15:59.will be boarding trains and aeroplanes to travel to London and
:16:00. > :16:05.see for themselves the greatest city on earth. It is in these actions,
:16:06. > :16:09.millions of acts of normality that we find the best response to
:16:10. > :16:15.terrorism. A response that denies our enemies their victory, that
:16:16. > :16:21.refuses to let them win, that shows we will never give in. A response
:16:22. > :16:28.driven by that same spirit that drove a husband and father to put
:16:29. > :16:35.himself between us and our attacker and to pay the ultimate price. I
:16:36. > :16:39.would like to turn for a moment to PC Keith, who I first met 25 years
:16:40. > :16:47.ago has gone Keith Palmer at headquarters battery, Royal
:16:48. > :16:55.Artillery. He was a strong, professional public servant. It was
:16:56. > :17:03.a delight to meeting here again only a few months after being elected.
:17:04. > :17:07.Wood my right honourable friend, the Prime Minister, in recognition of
:17:08. > :17:15.the work that he did and the other police officers and public servants
:17:16. > :17:20.here in the house do to consider recognising his gallantry and
:17:21. > :17:32.sacrifice formally a posthumous recognition? Well, I thank my
:17:33. > :17:36.honourable friend for the obvious compassion and passion with which he
:17:37. > :17:39.has spoken about an individual EU and he bears witness to the
:17:40. > :17:43.tremendous public service that Keith Palmer had given this country in so
:17:44. > :17:50.many ways. Having served in our Armed Forces and then come here to
:17:51. > :17:55.this place and paid the ultimate sacrifice here at our heart of
:17:56. > :18:01.democracy. I can assure my honourable friend that the issue he
:18:02. > :18:05.has raised is one that will be considered in due course.
:18:06. > :18:11.A difficult day for many MPs today. They were locked down for hours
:18:12. > :18:16.yesterday at not knowing what was going on and the palace. Let me
:18:17. > :18:21.introduce you to Harriet Harmon, former deputy leader of the Labour
:18:22. > :18:27.Party. He spoke today at the debate. Tell us what your thoughts are
:18:28. > :18:30.tonight. We all felt very sad indeed for the PC who lost his life
:18:31. > :18:37.defending us, keeping us safe and our heartfelt sympathy goes to his
:18:38. > :18:41.family. Also, isn't that the House of Commons had to be business as
:18:42. > :18:47.usual. We were not going to let this crime prevent us doing our job and
:18:48. > :18:52.fear and concern about the people who are still lying in hospital, but
:18:53. > :18:57.a sense that, as an act of terror, this is field. As a crank killed and
:18:58. > :19:00.injured people and it was a horrific crime. People will still, as they
:19:01. > :19:05.are tonight, go about their business in London. There has been a lot of
:19:06. > :19:10.focus about courage he just behind this at the foot of the then. He
:19:11. > :19:15.managed to get through the gate. It is a busy gate. You are the longest
:19:16. > :19:20.serving woman in the Commons and I said that because you will have seen
:19:21. > :19:25.over the years how secure -- how security has changed. Are you happy
:19:26. > :19:29.with security as it is tonight? In 1982 when I first became a member of
:19:30. > :19:33.Parliament there was no system of passes, there was no security at
:19:34. > :19:37.all. People would just walk in and out. That might be one or two police
:19:38. > :19:42.on the door just to show the public where they could go to see their MP
:19:43. > :19:46.and then there were the IRA threats, so there was security raised then
:19:47. > :19:50.and then there was Al-Qaeda. Over the years, the security has been
:19:51. > :19:55.increased. Very reluctantly anyway, because one thing Parliament values
:19:56. > :20:01.is its relationship with the public and its accessibility. There would
:20:02. > :20:05.be sensible, thorough review of this awful crime and there will be
:20:06. > :20:11.sensible precautionary measures. We are going to carry on going on with
:20:12. > :20:15.our business. We also value the fact that our policemen did not carry
:20:16. > :20:19.weapons. We are different to the United States. This is an area of
:20:20. > :20:23.London disposed of risk. This is one of the main targets in the country,
:20:24. > :20:28.so should these policemen just behind us, shouldn't they be armed?
:20:29. > :20:33.Some of them are armed and some work without weapons as PC, was unharmed.
:20:34. > :20:36.There would be a discussion within the Metropolitan Police and with the
:20:37. > :20:43.Home Office about where the balance lies. That is something that will
:20:44. > :20:45.have to be considered. Harriet Harman, it is give you to come, we
:20:46. > :20:48.will let you go and warm. In all, three people were killed
:20:49. > :20:51.by the attacker, PC Palmer, an American tourist identified today
:20:52. > :20:54.as Kurt Cochran from Utah and Aysha Frade, who lived
:20:55. > :20:56.in London with her two young Some who are still in
:20:57. > :21:02.a critical condition, A mother on the school run,
:21:03. > :21:08.mown down in broad daylight. Aysha Frade was 43 years
:21:09. > :21:11.old and leaves behind a husband Friends and neighbours have been
:21:12. > :21:18.paying tribute to her. She was just a lovely person
:21:19. > :21:20.with two lovely children. You leave your kids,
:21:21. > :21:30.you took them to school to go and pick them up and now this has
:21:31. > :21:33.happened to you. She worked as a college
:21:34. > :21:34.near Westminster Bridge and was on her way to pick
:21:35. > :21:37.up her children when Helpful, supportive, smiley,
