:03:47. > :03:52.think David Cameron will get caught in the street, when we start busting

:04:16. > :04:21.was just walking around the body like they want -- wanted the police
:04:21. > :04:25.to get there. This witness said when the police arrived the men moved

:04:48. > :04:53.for their own safety. We also saw an ambulance helicopter land in the
:04:53. > :04:59.playground. We all thought, people were saying we're going to die and
:04:59. > :05:04.we all thought someone had died at that moment, because there was
:05:04. > :05:09.choppers, police and ambulance around. We were very scared. A large
:05:09. > :05:13.area of Woolwich is now cordoned off. This is now a complex police
:05:13. > :05:17.investigation of several connected parts. First of all, the body of the
:05:17. > :05:21.man killed, in the initial attack, then, the police shooting being
:05:21. > :05:23.scrutinised by the Independent Police Complaints Commission and
:05:23. > :05:28.beyond that, counter-terrorism officers will be trying to work out
:05:28. > :05:33.who these men are, why they did this and whether anyone else is prepared
:05:33. > :05:37.to carry out a similar attack. The forensics officers are likely to be
:05:37. > :05:41.here all night. They will only be able to answer some of the many
:05:41. > :05:47.questions that result from this unprecedented act of violence. It
:05:47. > :05:50.leaves this area shocked and tense. Something else that stands out from
:05:50. > :05:55.the incident earlier today, the ways in which people went to try to help
:05:55. > :05:59.this man as he lay bleeding on the ground, regardless of the fact that
:05:59. > :06:02.the attackers stood there with guns and knives. One of them it seems has
:06:02. > :06:08.left flowers at the entrance to the barracks, that's not far from here,

:06:20. > :06:24.attack this evening and security at other military barracks across
:06:25. > :06:28.London has been tightened. The two attackers are under armed guard in
:06:28. > :06:33.hospital as the Security Services try to work out who they are. The
:06:33. > :06:38.BBC understand that's one of them may be of Nigerian origin. Here's

:07:00. > :07:04.police and take an way did carry a jihadist message of revenge.
:07:04. > :07:09.Whitehall officials say the men tried to film the attack during
:07:09. > :07:12.which they shouted Allah hu Akbar. The Prime Minister meeting the
:07:12. > :07:17.French president in Paris this evening was clearly shocked by
:07:17. > :07:22.events. Tonight, our thoughts should be with the victim, with their
:07:22. > :07:26.family, with their friends. People across Britain, people in every
:07:26. > :07:29.community, I believe, will utterly condemn this attack. We have had
:07:29. > :07:35.these sorts of attacks before in our country and we never buckle in the
:07:35. > :07:38.face of them. Inside the Security Service headquarters, the joint
:07:38. > :07:42.terrorism analysis centre is now considering whether it needs to
:07:42. > :07:46.raise the national terrorist threat level from substantial to severe. If
:07:46. > :07:52.this proves to be a concerted plot, then that threat level could
:07:52. > :07:56.possibly be raised. Tonight, key figures met in the Cabinet Office in
:07:56. > :08:02.an emergency committee called COBRA. The fact that COBRA has met tonight
:08:02. > :08:06.is a sign of just how seriously this is being taken. It was chaired by
:08:06. > :08:11.the Home Secretary, Theresa May, in place of the Prime Minister. She was
:08:11. > :08:16.supported by Andrew Parker, the Director-General of the Security
:08:16. > :08:21.Service MI5. Senior Metropolitan Police officers were at the meeting.
:08:21. > :08:24.Its their specialist operations unit SO15 which is leading the
:08:24. > :08:29.investigation. The police and Security Service are establishing
:08:29. > :08:35.the full facts of this barbaric case. But there is a strong case
:08:35. > :08:39.that it was an act of terrorism. Security has been tightened not just
:08:39. > :08:43.at Woolwich Barracks but at several defence and security establishments.
:08:43. > :08:47.British Muslims have been quick to condemn the attack. This is a time
:08:47. > :08:50.for unity, for communities to stand shoaleder to shoulder with the
:08:50. > :08:54.family of this poor chap and with the armed forces more generally.
:08:54. > :08:57.This is a time when we really need to reach out and recognise as a
:08:58. > :09:01.community of British people we are one and we're united. There will be
:09:01. > :09:05.no easy answers at the scene of the crime, but both the attackers are
:09:05. > :09:09.being treated in hospital and are expected to be questioned. The
:09:09. > :09:17.police and MI5's priority will be to prevent this bloody scene from being
:09:17. > :09:20.repeated. And our Political Editor Nick
:09:20. > :09:24.Robinson is in Westminster for us tonight. It was Theresa May talking
:09:24. > :09:29.about the indications of terrorism tonight. At what point do you think
:09:29. > :09:34.ministers became aware that this was more than a random attack?
:09:34. > :09:37.understanding is that ministers and the Mayor of London learned early
:09:37. > :09:41.about the potential seriousness of this. Within an hour of the attack,
:09:41. > :09:44.reports started to appear on social media like Twitter, I understand
:09:44. > :09:49.that the head of the Metropolitan Police was in touch. Now of course
:09:49. > :09:53.at that stage nothing was clear. But the signs were there. A soldier,
:09:53. > :09:57.near a barracks, in a Help for Heroes T-shirt, the suggestion from
:09:57. > :10:00.records of witnesses on the ground that the attackers had done it in
:10:01. > :10:05.the name of Islam, that they had waited to confront the police after
:10:05. > :10:10.the attack, that they had boasted of their savagery and claimed to be
:10:11. > :10:14.doing it for an aye Dee logical or political cause. It was not until
:10:14. > :10:19.quite late this afternoon, just before 6pm that senior twhaul
:10:19. > :10:24.sources started to talk in terms of its being terrorism. As the evening
:10:24. > :10:28.has worn on that language has hardened up. Of course, behind me in
:10:28. > :10:32.Whitehall in the Security Services and the police, they will be asking
:10:32. > :10:37.themselves: Is this a one-off or the start of something else? And even if
:10:37. > :10:40.a one-off, they'll be asking themselves just what led to it. The
:10:40. > :10:45.seriousness is shown bit fact the Prime Minister's on his way back
:10:45. > :10:49.from France, will chair a meeting of that emergency committee COBRA
:10:49. > :10:53.tomorrow. He will know, as we all know, this is the first terrorism
:10:53. > :10:58.fatality on the mainland since the attack on the bus and tube network
:10:58. > :11:05.in London on July 7, 2005. It's a grave night here in
:11:06. > :11:09.Westminster. Thank you. Let's bring you other new
:11:09. > :11:13.now's. The International Monetary Fund has warned that Britain is a
:11:13. > :11:17.long way from strong economic growth and has said that the Government
:11:17. > :11:20.should spend billions more on infrastructure projects this year,
:11:20. > :11:24.even if it means higher borrowing. But the watchdog said it was not
:11:24. > :11:28.telling the Chancellor to abandon Our Economics Editor Stephanie
:11:28. > :11:35.Flanders reports. Austerity. For years the IMF has supported the
:11:35. > :11:40.Chancellor's plans for cutting the deficit, but it also said it should
:11:40. > :11:44.slow the pace of austerity if growth continued to fall short. Today the
:11:44. > :11:48.fund said the Chancellor should do more. The published statement was
:11:48. > :11:52.careful to say the least. I asked the deputy manage ING Director to
:11:52. > :11:56.translate. They're trying very hard to stick to their goals. What we're
:11:56. > :12:01.suggesting is that the goal might be ajusteded this year, perhaps next
:12:01. > :12:04.year for a while, in order to pro provile -- provide more support to
:12:04. > :12:08.the economy. That's a novel suggestion and one that is worth
:12:08. > :12:12.being considered. The fund wants the Chancellor to bring forward public
:12:13. > :12:18.investments pencilled in for the future to help offset �10 billion in

:12:35. > :12:39.It's not a loud call for a plan b, but the fund is saying the
:12:39. > :12:42.Chancellor should do more to promote growth this year, even if it means
:12:42. > :12:46.borrowing more as well. Are you saying you're going to reject that
:12:46. > :12:51.advice? The IMF says when your deficit is very high, that was built
:12:51. > :12:53.up in the good years when we should have been paying down debt, when
:12:53. > :12:58.it's very high, it's not a straightforward choice. Those are
:12:58. > :13:01.their words, not mine. What we're doing is combining a credible plan
:13:01. > :13:04.so that Britain deals with its debts, while at the same time,
:13:04. > :13:08.investing in the kind of infrastructure, the roads, the
:13:08. > :13:13.railways, the new buildings, the construction work that the country
:13:13. > :13:16.badly needs. There were kind words for the Chancellor in today's press
:13:16. > :13:20.conference and pointed talk about what the Bank of England and
:13:20. > :13:23.financial regulators should be doing to support growth. But the
:13:23. > :13:27.Opposition zeroed in about the advice on the budgets. We have been
:13:27. > :13:31.calling for three years for the Chancellor to get the balance plan,
:13:31. > :13:37.to get the deficit down but to get growth and jobs moving in the
:13:37. > :13:40.economy. The IMF are saying the same. The Chancellor has to act.
:13:40. > :13:45.IMF thinks the long-term plan to cut borrowing makes sense but right now

:17:02. > :17:06.accused Internet giant Google of going to extraordinary lengths to
:17:06. > :17:10.avoid paying tax. Speaking at a Google conference, he said he was
:17:10. > :17:16.disappointed that the company was paying a fraction of 1% on billions

:17:25. > :17:29.The problem with a company motto is that people will tend to hold you to
:17:29. > :17:36.it. Today, Ed Miliband did just that on a visit to what Google calls its
:17:36. > :17:42.big tent. When Google goes to extraordinary lengths to avoid
:17:42. > :17:45.paying taxes, I say it is wrong. The Labour Leader expected the Internet
:17:45. > :17:52.giant's American boss to be there to hear him and not this empty chair.
:17:52. > :17:56.I'm sorry that he's not here this morning to hear this directly.
:17:57. > :18:01.when Google does great things, I will praise you. But when Eric
:18:01. > :18:07.Schmidt says that its current approach to tax is just capitalism,
:18:07. > :18:11.I disagree. Two days ago, Eric Schmidt did meet a political leader,
:18:11. > :18:17.David Cameron in Downing Street. We are told the Prime Minister did not
:18:17. > :18:20.raise the firm's tax arrangements. A committee of MPs recently described
:18:20. > :18:26.them as devious, calculating and unethical, because Google makes
:18:26. > :18:32.billions of pounds in Britain but pays just a few million in tax. Ed
:18:32. > :18:36.Miliband said it reminded him of the bankers. Let's go back and rewind
:18:36. > :18:41.the clock. What were the banks are saying in 2000? Don't regulators,
:18:41. > :18:44.don't do the right thing or we will leave the country. But too often,
:18:44. > :18:51.governments did not respond and do the right thing. A company with a
:18:51. > :18:53.slogan don't be evil will not like being compared to the banks. But
:18:53. > :18:59.like the banks, changing the behaviour of multinationals like
:18:59. > :19:04.Google, Amazon or Starbucks will only be possible through
:19:04. > :19:08.international agreement. Just such an international agreement is what
:19:08. > :19:13.David Cameron says he is trying to negotiate. Today, at a summit of EU
:19:13. > :19:17.leaders in Brussels, next month that the world's richest club, the G8,
:19:17. > :19:22.which he will chair in Northern Ireland. What are putting this at
:19:22. > :19:28.the front of the agenda has achieved is a proper agreement in the EU to
:19:28. > :19:32.start with that all countries should exchange tax information and act on
:19:32. > :19:39.clear beneficial ownership, so we know that he won't swap. I think
:19:39. > :19:43.this is a big step forward. More than three hours after avoiding Ed
:19:43. > :19:49.Miliband, Google's Chief Executive faced questions about avoiding tax
:19:49. > :19:54.after arriving at his own company's event. I don't want there to be any
:19:54. > :19:59.confusion, Google is a capitalist country... Company. We actually make
:19:59. > :20:03.profits and we are proud of it. I cannot defend the international tax
:20:03. > :20:07.regime. Your government, and we have said it needs to be rethought. Trust
