The choice is going to be made on Thursday. Twice the president...

As we mentioned one of the three terrorists involved in Saturday

night's attack, Khuram Butt had twice been reported to police.

In fact he'd appeared in a Channel 4 documentary last year,

Welcome to 100 Days Plus - I'm Katty Kay in Washington.

Christian Fraser is in London where British police have just

released the identities of two of the men involved

One, Khuram Butt, was a British citizen, born in Pakistan.

Police say he was known to the authorities.

Another, Rachid Redouane, claimed to be of Moroccan

and Libyan decent - he was not previously

They were both shot dead during the attacks.

Both lived in Barking in east London.

Police say they are still working to confirm all

It does appear that in the case of both Manchester and these London

attacks, members of the community had raised concerns about some

of the men involved - and it seems those warnings may have

Tonight London paused to reflect.In the past hour a vigil and a minute's

silence was held near London Bridge evening in solidarity

The investigation is moving quickly. What do we know? We have been given

a limited amount of information by the police. One man has been named

as Khuram Butt. Adds Moroccan heritage. He went by a

different name. Both men were living in Barking. Yesterday we saw a rest

there and today they have been more raids. That part of London is very

much the focus. And the Prime Minister has said today that we are

dealing with the new reality. Some big questions for the next

government about multiculturalism. On one side we have had arguments

about what happened in the past. Theresa May before she became Prime

Minister was Home Secretary for a number of years. She oversaw

significant cuts to the number of police. On one hand there was an

argument about whether those cuts were inappropriate. The Prime

Minister said absolutely not, it's about the kind of policing that is

done, not just the numbers. While that has been going on, there has

been a discussion about the kind of policing that is needed by the new

government. The Prime Minister has tried to outlined what they will do

if they form the next government. But have you heard about the claims

that community members both in the case of Manchester and London

reported concerns about some of these individuals and that those

concerns were not heeded? You are right. In Manchester there have been

multiple reports that someone a baby have been reported to hotlines. --

Salman Abedi. One of the community leaders also said that he was aware

that one of the attackers on Saturday was being radicalised. The

counter that will come from the authorities is that they are getting

a lot of information at one time. Even if they are aware of somebody,

it's not realistic for every person of interest to be monitored for 24

hours a day. Nonetheless, the pressing questions about not just

how the authorities go about inviting information from the

public, but what they do to it. This all really is for the new government

to wrestle with. We have had this phrase a new reality expressed today

and the challenges for the police and for which of the government

takes over to fashion a new response to the reality. Despite everyone's

's efforts at the current response hasn't been able to stop three

serious attacks in three months. Thank you very much. Doing the

visual jun the last hour this is what the Mayor of London had to

save. London stands in defiance against this cowardly attack on our

city, our people, our values and our way of life. As the Mayor of London,

I want to send a clear message to the sick and evil extremists who

commit these hideous crimes. We will defeat you. You will not win.

And as a proud and page will take British Muslim I say this. You do

not commit these disgusting acts in my name. Sadiq on speaking in London

at the vigil to remember those who were killed and those who are still

in hospital. Let me pick up on the point that Ross was making that

Jeremy Corbyn has criticised the Prime Minister about policing

levels. What is the reality? Is Jeremy Corbyn right that Theresa May

is responsible for less policing to deal with situations like this? He

is right. If you look at the figures they were just over 122,000 police

officers in the UK in September. That is just under 22,000 less than

in 2010. There has been a drop of around 13%. These figures for

England and Wales. She would say and she has said today in response and

it is a difficult issue for her because she was for 60 of the Home

and she was in charge of counterterrorism budgets. She says

that they are funding counterterrorism budgets and they

are increasing the number of armed officers. But the threat has changed

and what a lot of senior police officers are saying around the

country and the commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Caicedo Dicker

said the same is that what we are seeing from the Manchester attack

and these attacks that they were home-grown citizens. You do need

police officers, beat bobbies as we call them in the UK, out on the

streets, talking to Muslim leaders and the Muslim community. It's not

about just having the staff is about having the right staff of the job.

When those members of the community make complaints, they need to be

listened to. One of the attackers, Khuram Butt had been reported twice

to the abilities. He also appeared in a documentary. It was thought

that he was watching hate videos on YouTube.

Khuram Butt at 27 the father of two young children. He worked on the

London underground before turning to Islamic extremism. To my police

around his home. Here, he was well-known and well liked. My kids

just love to play with him. His neighbour says she feels falls. I

was blind. It is scary. Our children are always playing here. Benjamin

Joe would say hello to his neighbour, even on the date of the

attack. Yes, I remember I saw him. What was he like? Very quiet. What

was he wearing? An Arsenal T-shirt. Was he, when he saw him on Saturday?

Yes, he was calm. He was part in the middle of the road. We thought he

was moving out. Michael watched the London attacker with another man in

a white van. I saw him about 630. What was the fan doing? It screeched

up. It was speeded up and then breaking? No, it was just breaking

on the bend. He wanted women to wear hijabs. This man did not want to

show his face. He asked us to protect his identity. He will talk

about Syria and Afghanistan. He talked about them getting bombed. He

said they would debate Syria, Iraq and Islamic State. Was jihad

important to him? It was really important to him? Do you think he

was trying to radicalise you? I'm not sure. I would want to do that

kind of thing. Khuram Butt, responsible for seven innocent

deaths and today more raids, more searches to get to the truth of

those behind the London attacks. Ed Thomas, BBC News, Barking.

The Prevent strategy is one of the government's tools

It is supposed to build links between the police,

faith leaders, teachers, doctors, anyone in the community

In 2015/16 there were 7,500 referrals - around 20 a day

and out of those referrals, action was taken in one

Joining us live now from Belfast is Jim Gamble.

He's a former head of counter-terrorism in the city.

It seems particularly when terrorists are going to be

home-grown terrorists as we have seen the last three attacks in the

UK police is going to have to rely increasingly on communities to flag

up cases like this. What happens when those flags aren't watched?

What happens when the warnings aren't heeded? When the warning

comes in its about a credible intelligence assessment. We talk

about intelligence led policing which needs to be intelligent in

itself. It's not an easy job. Our police and intelligence services

have been doing a great job. There is evidence of that. As others have

said, these terrorists are having to resort to whether they can find in

the kitchen and weapons they can find on the road. They are not

getting access to explosives. There has been success and we should not

ignore that. The problem with engaging a community and engaging

communities is that we have lost a lot of police officers, bobbies on

the beat. People need to feel understood and respected in the

community and that mutual respect creates to wait -- two-way

communication. Theresa May oversaw these cuts and the manner in which

she did it was particularly difficult. Police warned that these

cuts were too deep and she derided them by saying they were crying

wolf. I think there is something about that coming home to roost and

real leaders need to stand up and be counted and admit the errors they

have made as they move forward. Some will say that the police are making

use of the powers they. The are the new control orders. It means the

authorities can put suspects under arrest for up to two years. There

are supposedly 3000 people who are suspicious in the UK and only seven,

seven of these orders are in place. That highlights the difficulty. We

are talking about large numbers of people and the police will have a

number of tactics, but when you get to the point when a person has been

radicalise, it is much more difficult. The police did a

fantastic job, arriving within eight minutes and even with those deadly

circumstances. The investments that make a difference... But if they are

under pressure, why aren't they using more of the control orders? I

don't have sufficient insight into contemporary policing to give you

reasonable feedback Van Eijden wanted to mean decried the tactics

that are being used. What we need to see is greater investment in police

resources, that's not just about numbers, it's about technology and

the way they crunch data, partnerships within the community.

You cannot do that without investigating. The partnerships

include health, local authorities, schools and others because social

workers, help and schools see some of those mental health issues that

make young people more vulnerable. Many of the Prevent cases I have

seen have been young people with critical mental health issues to

become more vulnerable and susceptible to radicalisation by the

criminal elements who will use that vulnerability to their own cruel

ends. Thank you for joining us. This is clearly a conjugated issue and

the solutions will be complicated and take time.

Donald Trump has had plenty to say on the weekend attacks.

Some would say he has had far too much to say.

One of his targets on social media has been the Mayor

"At least 7 dead and 48 wounded in terror attack and Mayor of London

says there is "no reason to be alarmed!"

In fact, he took the Mayor out of context.

What Mr Khan had actually said was that there will be more armed

police on the streets and citizens had "no reason to be alarmed".

However, undeterred, the President dug in -

"Pathetic excuse by London Mayor Sadiq Khan who had to think

fast on his "no reason to be alarmed" statement.

All of this understandably went down very badly in the UK.

And lots of people here in the US aren't happy either.

Here's the reaction from Jennifer Rubin,

One is prompted to ask if he is off his rocker.

But this is vintage Trump - impulsive and cruel,

without an ounce of class or human decency."

There are people here who are asking questions about the appropriateness

of the President's action to a country that is one of America's

siss allies. He has a long history of confrontation with Sadiq Khan.

During the course of the campaign the mayor criticised Donald Trump

for the travel ban against Muslims. As we know, Mr Trump bears grudges

and you have to wonder whether some of this is personal, whether he is

deliberately going after the mayor because of his relationship with him

in the past. What I can't understand about his series of tweets is that

he also retweets his tweets. He is the commander-in-chief who has

access to the best intelligence in the world, you can pick up the phone

and speak to the Prime Minister, but for some reason he is retweeting a

report. He's done it before, on the Philippines issue. He said, this has

been terrorism. The Philippines police said it was not terrorism.

This is causing bad will in the UK and people are fed up and angry with

the reaction of the President to a city that is grieving and suffering

terrorism and having to do with it. It's not seen as helpful by many

people here in the States. He is also using the London attacks to

justify his Executive order to restrict immigration from six mainly

Muslim countries. This was another one of his tweets. He said that

people can call it what they want, but I'm calling it what it is, a

travel ban. This will help the president. This is now going to the

Supreme Court. They are good to talk about this and not many weeks ago

the White House press secretary Sean Spicer was chastising what he called

the fake may differ using that very same term.

This is not a mosque in ban or a travel ban, it is a vetting system

to keep America safe. That is it, plain and simple. All of the facts

and reading of it clearly show that that is what it is. Courts that have

ruled against this ban has said that the president is intending to ban

muslins and they are judging that from these statements in the

campaign. There is a precedent here and that is why they felt they could

overturn his band, but now he is still saying it is a travel ban and

this is going before the Supreme Court, does it give ammunition to

the Supreme Court to say there is an intention here to ban muslins and

that is not constitutionally acceptable? One very wise lawyer has

said to me that actually the president wants his band to be

overturned so he can say look, the American courts are against me.

Because that's what you keep telling me. Most of his problems are

self-inflicted and a lot of the people who have come out and spoken

for him today, Kelly and Conway has come out, they said that we

shouldn't pay attention to his Twitter feed. But he hasn't given an

interview for three weeks so we will pay attention to it. We should

perhaps stop calling them presidential tweets and we should

call them presidential statements. I'm joined now by Robin Wright.

Thank you for coming in to join me. When you look at what has happened

in London and you look at the scale of the response to it, what are we

learning about how we are going to deal with this threat in Europe

because it's not going away, is it? No. There are a number of trends

that have emerged. You see the proliferation of amateurs. They are

self recruited, self empowered, self weaponised. They are not the whole

core experience professionals like the PLO or the red B great. It's

very difficult for law enforcement to try to keep track of them. It

makes it more difficult. There is also the fact that whilst terrorism

was far more prolific in the 70s and 80s, today it is deadly. Between

1970 and 2015, there were no deaths in 53% of terrorist attacks. That

increased with the rise of ices. Now you are seeing far deadlier attacks

and far more being killed in each attack. As the Prime Minister

Theresa May said, terrorism is evolving and their actions are

evolving as well. But other things you talked about was the cyber

component of this. She was critical social media companies and said they

should do more to help clamp down on Islamist extremists and radicalism.

Can they do more? The problem is that in the United States we have

the first Amendment which guarantees the freedom of speech. You get into

tricky legal and constitutional issues. How much can a government

said to social media... The clamp-down on child pornography and

now it's hard to find it. You have a deep net and whether or not it is

telegram, which is how a lot of these European groups communicate

through cryptic messages, it is hard to keep up with them. They are much

more sophisticated than they were. How much are we prepared to give up

in terms of freedom to have security? Robin has touched on the

question I was going to ours. They have moved further into the

darkness. They are now using telegram. You close down one area of

Internet of a move somewhere else. Exactly and if you look at online

publications, you BC that they forecast, they instruct their

followers what to do, whether it's driving cars into crowds, using

machetes to slice people up, there was a new issue that came out last

month about mass hostagetaking and slowly killing people. There are a

whole string of actions that are prevalent on the web. It's harder

for countries like Britain in the United States to figure out how to

stop them when you can't find them. Thank you for joining us. When

Theresa May says enough is enough, what does that actually mean. Yes,

she's good how to answer that question over the next two or three

days. Shinnie stance it or she might be out of a job. Who knows. Jeremy

Corbyn says she needs to resign. I thought that was the point. When you

call an election, you effectively resign, but will have to wait and

see. You are watching 100 base plus. On world news we will look at the
