attack in fourth months, with this one targeting Muslims.

Meanwhile here in Brussels Brexit talks are under way.

It is not about revenge or punishment says the EUs chief

negotiator but don't underestimate the consequences.

A terrorist attack is a terrorist attack -

says the Prime Minister - no matter which community

He was shouting, where are all Muslims? I want to kill all Muslims.

Arrested under terrorism laws - bystanders pinned down the suspect

He's understood to be 47-year-old Darren Osborne

Also, the conflict in Syria takes another dangerous turn.

He says yes, his own lawyer however seems to disagree.

The man who drove a van into a group of Muslims in north London has been

The Prime Minister said the country's determination to fight

terrorism must be the same, whoever is responsible.

The Muslim Council of Britain said the van had been driven

at worshippers who'd just left the mosque in Finsbury Park

They were struck on the Seven Sisters Road.

Members of the public then detained the driver.

According to witnesses, he said that he wanted

Here's our correspondent Daniel Sandford.

It was just after midnight in London, and the third

attack using a vehicle in just three months.

This time, the Muslim community was the target.

Basically drove on the pavement, coming straight

As he is coming to them, he hit all of them.

After the van had crashed through worshippers marking

the holy month of Ramadan, leaving eight badly injured,

men who'd been to late night prayers found themselves wrestling

the suspected van driver to the road.

When he was on the ground I asked him, why did you do that, why?

After a prolonged struggle, the suspected driver was arrested.

The imam had intervened to prevent further violence and he was handed

over to the first police officers to arrive.

We've flagged them down and told them the situation,

there is a man, he is restrained, mowed down a group of people

with his van and there is a mob attempting to hurt him,

if you don't take him, God forbid he might be seriously hurt.

What we proceeded to do, me and 20 people, lift the van

and the man who got his leg stuck under it got his leg out,

although he was in a critical state, really bad, bleeding from his ears

The 47-year-old suspect is believed to be Darren Osborne,

a father of four from Cardiff, a man unknown to MI5 but somebody

who police are now investigating for any extremist or racist views

By lunchtime, the Prime Minister had arrived close to

Visiting Finsbury Park Mosque, one of two whose worshippers

The terrible terrorist attack that took place last night was an act

borne out of hatred and it is has devastated a community.

I'm pleased to have been here today, to see the strength of that

community, coming together, all faiths united in one desire,

to see extremism and hatred of all sorts driven out

There is no place for this hatred in our country today and we need

to work together as one society, as one community to drive it

out, this evil that is affecting so many families.

The Prime Minister's visit came up just after 12 hours

after the van ploughed into a group of worshippers.

Theresa May clearly wanting to be seen among

the community that was attacked as soon as possible.

Jeremy Corbyn, who is the local MP, was up most of the night talking

And visited the scene with the Labour Mayor

Throughout the day the enormity of what had happened and appeared

to weigh on the shoulders of politicians from all parties.

This is terror on the streets and a terror of the people

on the streets, in the communities I'm very proud to represent

in Parliament, that's why I'm here today.

All around the politicians visiting, a huge police forensic

The focus, this white van rented in Wales.

It had turned off the main Seven Sisters Road into a cul-de-sac,

hitting the worshippers as it went through.

Some of them had been treating a man who was apparently

It is unclear if he was hit by the van.

He was the only person who died here last night.

This was quite clearly an attack on Muslims,

who looked like they were probably Muslims and they were coming

Daniel Stanford, BBC News, Finsbury Park.

Well, as we've been hearing, the BBC understands the suspect

Let's join Tomos Morgan, who's outside his house in Cardiff.

What more do we know about Mr Osborne? We understand the police

have been carrying out raids on this president behind me in the

north-east of Cardiff in connection with the arrest of the 47-year-old,

Darren Osborne. It is understood he has got four

children and he has possibly resided here with his partner. I have been

speaking to some of the residents who live in this cul-de-sac in the

North east of Cardiff. Mixed reactions. They say that if it is

true, they are shocked that someone in their community could have done

something like this. I spoke to one individual just a few doors down

from the House that the police have been raiding, and Muslim himself,

and he said he had not been aware of any sort of racist remarks that this

gentleman, Darren Osborne, had said over the years. He had never got

that impression from him. He said the children went to the same school

and he said he was very shocked and shaken himself if this turns out to

be the case, that this individual that lives only a few doors down

from him could have committed such an horrific crime in London. We are

in Cardiff. It is understood the vehicle that was hired to carry out

this atrocity was from a village around 10-15 miles away to the

north-west of Cardiff. We do not yet know when that vehicle was hired,

but we do know that that company is working alongside the Metropolitan

police to give them any information to have for the investigation.

These incidents always raised so many questions and so many troubled

French police are investigating a suspected terrorist attack

in the centre of Paris after a car crashed into a police van

It happened along one of the best known streets in Paris,

Various media reports claim the driver was armed.

Authorities have confirmed that the driver of the car has died.

No one else was injured in the attack.

Clearly officials in Britain after the attack last night in Finsbury

Park have been very careful about how they talk about this attack. You

had the Prime Minister and Sadiq Khan and Jeremy Corbyn and Cressida

Dick, the head of the Met, saying this is terrorism. The message to

the Muslim community and about what they hear about this attack seems to

be important and it is critical they get this right. Crucially important

to all communities that they get the message right, not only for the

politicians but also the media as well. When you look at the stats

regarding Islamaphobia commie there have been a two thirds rise on

attacks in London and it goes under the radar a bit. There are spikes in

these attacks as and when we have terrorist incident in the UK, but

the upsetting thing is it is Young Muslims in schools who are being

targeted and it is Muslim communities in London and

politicians need to address that and the concerns of the community. What

you have seen today is people coming out very quickly. Within eight

minutes they called it a potential terrorist attack and it is crucial

from their perspective that they get that message out. It is day one of

the Brexit talks and an opportunity to reset the tone after some of the

mudslinging over the last year, but we learn a few things from the press

conference. The first is we now have a diary and a sequence of events, so

by the end of October there will be five week-long meetings between the

two sides. The second thing is they are sticking to what the EU wanted

to come first, their calendar, so it will be about the separation, the

severance payments, citizens' rights, the crucial issue of the

border in Ireland. The third important thing which David Davis

spelt out, for all the talk of softening the Brexit deal, we will

be leaving the customs union and the single market. That is how it stands

today. This is what David Davies had to say and also Michel Barnier.

There is more that unites us than divides us.

While there will undoubtedly be challenging times

ahead of us in the negotiations, we will do all that we can to ensure we

deliver a deal that works in the best interest of all citizens.

To that end, we are starting this negotiation in a positive and

constructive tone, determined to build a strong and special

partnership between ourselves and our European allies

We must first lift the uncertainty caused by Brexit.

We want to make sure that the withdrawal of the UK

Then in the second step, we restore our future partnership.

We also agree how we structure our talks.

Then in the second step, we restore our future partnership.

We also agree how we structure our talks.

And taking back control eagerly, you can replicate the conduct of the

single murky. The real basis of the single murky is the rule that you

say you can't... I didn't come across anybody in a referendum who

was against Iraq. Be that through this domestic law and through

bilateral treaties, we can copy some of those rules so that you keep if

market, the way that the Swiss do, market, the way that the Swiss do,

while being outside the jurisdiction of the European Court and the

European Commission. Oration, Richard, for many remain as in the

UK is that there really isn't any... Labour talks about the softening

position, you are leaving the sickle market. If you want to negotiate

your trade deals, your living missing trade union. That seems to

be where the gamut Jeremy Corbyn is. If we leave the single market, there

is great danger to the economy. After all the talk after the General

Election of that hard Brexit option, that economic leak damaging option

being reviewed since it wasn't endorsed by the electorate, there

was all this talk about this wider more moderate approach, reaching out

to people with different views, to date of its Davis number less said

we stick to the white paper, the white paper which surely is largely

discredited after the events of the last few weeks.

When it comes to the customs union, how do you have this invisible

border between North and South in Ireland? No other free-trade area in

the world, with the exception of Vladimir Putin's Eurasian union and

one other, is a customs union. You are not obliged to have a single

common external tariff. Leaving the customs union means Britain can sign

free-trade agreements with India, America, Australia and China, all of

the big economies overseas, which will account for 100% of the growth

in this country. Staying in the customs union while leaving the EU

would be the worst of both worlds because the EU would have a say over

our trade deals. They had to come here today looking in charge of

their brief and yet the politics at home tells us there is an awful lot

of discussion to be had in the House of commons. Indeed and I do not

think there is a majority in the House of commons for leaving the

customs union. It is not as easy as Dan portrays. Not only are you

outside your main export market, you also need to make new agreements

with the rest of the world to replace the agreements we currently

have with the European Union. Many of those were negotiated with the

leverage of the world's largest market. We got concessions from

other countries that way. If we come along and say, can we have the same

please? There is no guarantee... The halfway house is unsatisfactory. Do

we have in Norway deal where we pay a lot of money in and have no cloud?

The Swiss have a customs border and you barely recognise it. The Swiss

export nearly five times as much per head than we do. Plainly this is not

a block to exploits. But those countries have free-trade agreements

with China, the second-biggest economy the world. The EU does not

have trade agreements with China or the US. I bet you a pound to the

euro that we will have trade agreements with those. It is a

pretty bad agreement. They cannot even export washers to China.

Through Europe we get better deals because we have the push of the

single union. Is soft Brexit dead? Soft Brexit is still alive. It has

the disadvantage of leaving the European Union because you have to

accept the rules that you do not have a say any more. But

economically it is a far less damaging option. We want the closest

possible relationship with our European allies compatible with

being an independent country. That means giving our trade deals and our

military and security links. We want to have prosperous neighbours

because they make good customers. We will be, if you like, a country club

member, supporting from the outside without being part of the political

union and we will get what the British people always wanted a

Common Market, and not a common government. There is a flavour of

some of the negotiation in the coming weeks. They did get off to a

good start. They are both very keen hill walkers. I am not sure if there

are coded messages. Michel Barnier gave David Davis hobbled walking

stick. And Michel Barnier was given a book on the Himalayas. We could

say that there is a big summit ahead and they are not even at base camp

one. Or something about a long slog

uphill. I think they would have done better

off giving each other a crate of brandy or a very large box of

aspirin. Some Red Bull might have been better

as the messy-mac I am sticking with brandy, Christian.

A minute's silence has been held across the UK for the victims

And another hot day in the city, very uncomfortable for some of us.

Others like it. It is going to stay overnight and into tomorrow and it

is very uncomfortable over the next three days and three night as far as

sleeping goes in many parts of England. There is fresh air in

Scotland and Northern Ireland but this cooler air may not reach the

South until well into the weekend, so we will have to deal with this

heat through most of the week, particularly in southern areas of

the UK. I want to show you what the temperatures will be roundabout

bedtime. Let's call it 11 o'clock. We are talking about the mid 20s in

London and the Midlands, in the southern parts of Wales. 22 in

Plymouth. Throughout Yorkshire 23 degrees, and then it freshens up

significantly. This is 11 o'clock in Scotland and Northern Ireland. Even

14 degrees is warm, but this is a lot cooler than what we have further

south. One thing that will be happening, and this cool front, it

is not particularly cold, this cooled front will separate the

slightly less hot air in the North from the real heat in the south. The

heat on Tuesday will transferred to more southern and south-western

areas. 30 in London and 17 in Newcastle. On Wednesday we see

whether France approaching the UK. To the south it will stay hot, but

in the north there is a chance of thunderstorms. We will see cloudy

weather and outbreaks of rain and a distinct difference between the

north and the South. Again temperatures reaching 30 degrees in

London. On Wednesday it is the start of Glastonbury in Somerset, a very

hot start, but then things will be cooling off as we go through the

course of the week. On Tuesday it is another hot one in the South East

and East Anglia and the temperatures are lowering in the western areas,

back to where we should be at this time of the year. The end of the

week is looking fresher, but not fresher automatically in the far

South East. To days plus. Our top story: a man

dangerous. The Russia said any Syrian player the flying... The

rusher. I imagine the potential for a mistake being made is a great one.

Yes, this calculation. Honest mistakes, with so many different

troops, so many planes flying, so many groups and forces all in the

same type of region, the chance for Mr chelation, mistake or --

miscalculation. It is dangerous. I was reading this morning about the

troop numbers for Afghanistan and it is loosely connected this because

they were saying in the American papers that the Pentagon is being

given the lead on deciding how to tackle So-called Islamic State and

Al-Qaeda, I wonder if that just adds to the convocations. Without the

Commander in Chief over the top. You may recall over the course of the

campaign, President Ron said he knew more than the generals knew. It is

clear that he doesn't know more and that is one of the reasons why he

has deferred to secretary Jim Mavers. -- President Trump.

Certainly due to waterboarding and torturing. He has been deferring to

the military and in this particular case, I would hope that he would

spend more time reading the presidential daily brief that he

does engaging in twitter. But to an extent, he doesn't and he will have

to rely on secretary matters to understand what the nature of this

and the chance of success will be depending on what the strategies.

What would you like to hear from the administration on Syria from the

president is himself? I would like to have the present

articulate what the strategy is. Before you start talking about

numbers of troops going up, numbers to do what? What are we seeking to

do? Both in Iraq and Syria. I think it is still unclear whether there is

insurgency, whether terrorists, it is not clear exactly what is needed

and how many troops are needed. A short time ago, I spoke to Michael

who is a adviser to angler Michael. The price of divorce for Britain is

going to be 100 billion euros. You going to be 100 billion euros. You

know Britain will never pay that, it is not politically possible for the

Government to agree that, what is the real cost? What will it take to

tell other European countries it is going to be more expensive for you

to leave them to stay in? There are contracts. Of course, the UK has to

follow the contracts and if the contracts are really that high then

the UK might have to pay. Brexit is a Brexit, we are not very happy that

the UK wants to do the Brexit, but if they really want to, they have to

but the proposals. Today, we started the proposals in Brussels. Mr Davies

and Mr Michel Barnier. One thing for us is very clear. Brexit means

Brexit. In means in and out means out and if somebody is stepping out,

he has to come up with a decent proposal and we are waiting. You

seem to be saying that 100 billion euros might be the figure that

Britain has to pay to leave. It is. That is not out of the world. It

could be true that this is the figure. One thing is very clear,

countries not being an EU member are not free not to pay nothing to the

EU. Is this money that you are asking from Brittany punishment to

Britain for leaving, or is it a deterrent to other European Union

countries that might be thinking of leaving? I don't think so. We don't

want to punish anybody. First of all, we have got to say that we are

not happy that they are leaving, but as a matter of fact, there are a lot

of British civil servants in Brussels which are going to have

pensions and things like that, that has to be paid by Britain, of

course. This is normal. We have to calculate everything. Definitely, we

will do it in a fair way. The talks started today. You are a close ally

of angler Michael. It'd be Chancellor's view that the Brits

have come to these talks in Brussels weakened by the election results in

Britain? It is not my turn to discuss the election result. That is

the British people who voted. Not so much in favour of Madame may again.

Right, but is it the feeling of the European union and the European

Union partners that Britain is now in a weaker negotiating position?

You feel emboldened? It is difficult to say that. We are really starting

today. The Article 50 already is triggered in March, so we should

have done work already which we could not close Mrs May decided to

have election first. Now it is a new situation. A new party, not just Mrs

May's party, also the DUP party and we had to see how they are coming

along. It is all pretty clear at the moment. Accurate much for joining

us. The message seems to be that we love Britain and the Brits, but if

they are leaving, they have to pay. It is day one. You are very good at

this kind of thing, speculate forward for me. Go forward. How long

is this go to take and how difficult will it be? How will they get it

over the finish line? You send me an interesting part of research which I

haven't seen. Those who are pro-remain and favour of Europe,

think Germany is a favour of good and will try and help where it can.

There are those of the Brexit side who think that Germany has too much

influence. My view is that actually be people who will really make the

difference in these negotiations are actually the two guys who have been

in the building today, Michel Barnier and David Davis because when

you look back at previous negotiations, look back at the Good

Friday Agreement. Lots of history, lots of negativity, people coming

from opposite sides of the spectrum. Yet, it was the relationship between

Doctor Ian Paisley and Martin McGuinness, for instance, that

really made the difference at the end of the day. They developed this

close personal relationship through the negotiation and when they came

to the roadblocks, it was that personal relationship, two of them

locked in a room, likely got them over the line.

we are cynical, but actually it might not work like that. When we

think that relationship will prove think that relationship will prove

crucial when it comes to the end of the play.

They did make a good point of saying it had gone well.

Is the president under investigation for obstruction of justice of not?

That is the question which seems to be vexing even the Trump

On Friday the president sent this tweet saying: I am

being investigated for firing the FBI Director by the man who told

A member of Mr Trump's legal team, Jay Sekulow,

that the president was just referring to media reports

and that he was not under investigation.

Now he is being investigated by the Department of Justice

because the special counsel under the special Council regulation

reports to the Department of Justice, not an independent

counsel, so he is being investigated.

You have now said he is being investigated

You just said that he is being investigated.

No, Chris, let me be crystal clear so you completely understand.

We have not received, nor are we aware of any

investigation of the president of the United States.

You just said two times that he is being investigated.

No, you are putting words in my mouth when I have been crystal

clear that the president is not and has not been

I don't think I can be any clearer than that.

I don't think I can be any clearer than that. I'm confused and

bamboozled. First of all he said he was under investigation, for

something that the DOJ told them to do, but likely he is not

investigation. Which is a? I don't know about you, whenever a lawyer or

a politician says I'm going to be crystal clear, it is usually a

pretty good indication that they are trying to muddy the waters quite a

lot. The real story of this is that the White House doesn't know if he

is investigating, being under investigation, because he has not

been formally notified. And when he was pushed on this committee had to

get in the position of admitting that he didn't actually know whether

the president... We are getting weight loss in the weeds of

president was under investigating, president was under investigating,

we just know treated. The top and bottom of this is that when

President Trump is talking about jobs jobs jobs. He is talking about

jobs for the lawyers. Lawyers are now getting lawyers. And his lawyers

getting a lawyer. Amyloid have you got? I think I better got one of

town. Who am I got a lawyer in town. Who am I got a lawyer in

Washington, DC at the moment. It needs to be done. The only other

thing I would say his do you remember James Coney's testimony and

how he assumes that Robert was going to investigate the instruction of

justice, that would seem to suggest that that issue was going to come up

under that investigation. That it is from Brussels, we will be like

tomorrow, I will be back in London. From me and catty, we will be back

thank you very
