:00:13. > :00:18.The Islamic State group say he was one of their soldiers.

:00:19. > :00:19.Overnight there were raids in Birmingham,

:00:20. > :00:30.Eight people have been arrested so far.

:00:31. > :00:36.These were some of the scenes inside Parliament yesterday,

:00:37. > :00:39.But in the Commons today, a defiant message.

:00:40. > :00:42.We are not afraid, and our resolve will never waver

:00:43. > :00:46.Among the victims was PC Keith Palmer,

:00:47. > :00:56.One of those who tried to save him was a former soldier.

:00:57. > :00:59.When I seen the guy enter the gate, with two knives

:01:00. > :01:06.in the air, attacking, that's the decision was made.

:01:07. > :01:08.in the air, attacking, that's when the decision was made.

:01:09. > :01:13.There were two other deaths - Kurt Cochran was in London

:01:14. > :01:14.celebrating his 25th wedding anniversary.

:01:28. > :01:37.to remember all victims of the Westminster attack.

:01:38. > :01:42.And we're taking a look at how the developments are being reported in

:01:43. > :01:53.the papers. One of the most extensive police

:01:54. > :01:57.investigations of recent years has made swift progress today,

:01:58. > :01:59.following the terror attack The attacker has been identified

:02:00. > :02:17.and the Islamic State group has said The attacker was named

:02:18. > :02:19.as Khalid Masood, He was 52, and lived

:02:20. > :02:23.in the West Midlands. He had come to the attention

:02:24. > :02:25.of the intelligence There have been eight arrests so far

:02:26. > :02:30.- five men and three women - Tributes have been paid to those

:02:31. > :02:33.who lost their lives, still in hospital.

:02:34. > :02:39.Five are critically ill. Tonight, we'll have the latest

:02:40. > :02:41.on the police investigation, and we'll hear from some of those

:02:42. > :02:44.caught up in yesterday's events. First, we join our

:02:45. > :02:52.Special Correspondent, Well the police have moved back from

:02:53. > :02:57.the flat where they made arrests overnight. Yesterday we saw the face

:02:58. > :03:02.of the attacker, today we know his name, Khalid Masood. He was on the

:03:03. > :03:07.radar. His name was known to the police and to MI5 but they said that

:03:08. > :03:09.they had no information he was planning a terrorist attack, showing

:03:10. > :03:15.just how difficult it is for them to stop this sort of thing. It has been

:03:16. > :03:19.a fast-moving day. Arrests have been made, most of them made here in

:03:20. > :03:25.Birmingham. With a car and a knife he brought

:03:26. > :03:30.terror to Parliament. He is Khalid Masood, a British-born attacker,

:03:31. > :03:33.known to the police with a 20-year criminal record, although not for

:03:34. > :03:38.terrorism. The 52-year-old, responsible for the murder of a

:03:39. > :03:44.policeman, a mother on her way to collect her children, a tourist, and

:03:45. > :03:49.a pensioner. Today, on their knees, the police,

:03:50. > :03:53.slowly, met I can Clarence Housely, searching for evidence. On the same

:03:54. > :03:58.ground where one of their own lay, just a day ago.

:03:59. > :04:01.As they searched outside Parliament, just metres away inside, the Prime

:04:02. > :04:07.Minister spoke. What I can confirm, is that the man

:04:08. > :04:12.was British-born and that some years ago he was once investigated by MI5

:04:13. > :04:16.in relation to concerns about violent extremism. He was a

:04:17. > :04:22.peripheral figure. The case is historic. He was not part of the

:04:23. > :04:27.current intelligence picture. There was no prior intelligence of his

:04:28. > :04:30.intent or of the plot. Intensive investigations continue.

:04:31. > :04:35.So what more is known about Khalid Masood? He was born in Kent, he was

:04:36. > :04:42.most recently living in the West Midlands. He had a range of previous

:04:43. > :04:46.convictions including GB H, possession of offensive weapons and

:04:47. > :04:51.public order offences, the last conviction in 2003 for possession of

:04:52. > :04:54.a knife. He was known by a number of aliases and Khalid Masood is not

:04:55. > :04:59.believed to be the name he was born with. So they are determined to find

:05:00. > :05:03.out everything that they can about the man who murdered PC Keith Palmer

:05:04. > :05:08.in the shadow of Bill Clinton Ben and ran over those just walking on

:05:09. > :05:11.Westminster Bridge. Not just routine police work, this time, it's

:05:12. > :05:16.personal. It is still our belief, which

:05:17. > :05:19.continues to be borne out by the investigation, that this attacker

:05:20. > :05:24.acted alone and was inspired by international terrorism. To be

:05:25. > :05:27.explicit at this stage we have no specific information about further

:05:28. > :05:34.threats to the public. The police's attention on

:05:35. > :05:37.Birmingham, overnight in the Ladywood area, the heavily armed

:05:38. > :05:39.officers searched a flat. The neighbours said it was like a scene

:05:40. > :05:45.from a film. It was like a war, a war down the

:05:46. > :05:50.streets. Like something you see only in movies. I saw it behind my

:05:51. > :05:56.windows on the street. It was very frightening. It was like, you know,

:05:57. > :06:02.what the hell is happening here? Another flat in the Winsome Green

:06:03. > :06:05.area of the city was raided. Neighbours said that they thought

:06:06. > :06:11.that Khalid Masood lived there recently. It is known that the car

:06:12. > :06:18.he turned into a weapon was a rental car that he hired in Birmingham here

:06:19. > :06:23.at Enterprice Cars. With the attacker dead, the focus is on his

:06:24. > :06:26.friends and family, whether they knew about his motivations, his

:06:27. > :06:32.intentions, whether he had help with the attack on Parliament. The police

:06:33. > :06:36.have made arrests in a number of different locations. Three

:06:37. > :06:39.properties were searched in Birmingham and seven people

:06:40. > :06:45.arrested. One woman was arrested in East London. There have been

:06:46. > :06:49.searches in Carmarthenshire, Brighton and south-east London. The

:06:50. > :06:54.eight arrested on suspicion of the preparation of Terrorist Acts. At a

:06:55. > :06:59.house in Luton where it is believed that Khalid Masood lived a few years

:07:00. > :07:02.ago, neighbours described him as a house proud family man.

:07:03. > :07:07.As far as I'm aware he had two children at the time that he was

:07:08. > :07:12.here. They appeared to be primary schoolchildren. He had a people

:07:13. > :07:15.carrier, he was loading the children into the people carrier with child

:07:16. > :07:19.seats. But today he was described

:07:20. > :07:26.differently by the Islamic State. Without providing evidence they said

:07:27. > :07:31.he was one of their soldiers. The police have been tracking Khalid

:07:32. > :07:34.Masood's movements, the man who got into a car and caused terror in

:07:35. > :07:37.Our Home Affairs Correspondent, Daniel Sandford,

:07:38. > :07:45.We mentioned the fact that the investigation is making swift

:07:46. > :07:50.progress. What is your assessment tonight? It is developing fast. We

:07:51. > :07:53.believe that the police visited a hotel in Brighton where they are

:07:54. > :07:57.looking at the fact that Khalid Masood may have spent his last few

:07:58. > :08:02.nights there. That is obviously an important part of the investigation.

:08:03. > :08:06.We believe that Khalid Masood's partner was arrested in Stratford in

:08:07. > :08:10.East London, so clearly she is possibly going to be an important

:08:11. > :08:15.source of information for the police but at the same time, these

:08:16. > :08:20.fast-movements, the developments in terms of the investigation are

:08:21. > :08:24.marred by tragedy and the news tonight that this 75-year-old man

:08:25. > :08:29.who was being maintained on life support in a London hospital has in

:08:30. > :08:35.fact died after life support was withdrawn. As I understand it he has

:08:36. > :08:42.relatives overseas it had taken time to contact them. But the life

:08:43. > :08:48.support has now been withdrawn. This is an investigation, which, as often

:08:49. > :08:52.happens with the counter-terrorism investigations, that they expand

:08:53. > :08:55.outwards. Eight people are in custody, each could develop leads,

:08:56. > :09:00.so the investigation is still really at early stages. One thing I should

:09:01. > :09:05.mention it is almost certain that Khalid Masood is not the birth name

:09:06. > :09:07.of the man who actually carried out this attack.

:09:08. > :09:15.Thank you very much, Daniel Sandford.

:09:16. > :09:18.Members of the House of Commons stood in silence today,

:09:19. > :09:19.to remember those who died yesterday,

:09:20. > :09:21.including PC Keith Palmer, who lost his life defending

:09:22. > :09:23.parliament and those who work there.

:09:24. > :09:25.He'd been a police officer for 15 years.

:09:26. > :09:27.The Prime Minister said he was "every inch a hero",

:09:28. > :09:29.and his actions would never be forgotten.

:09:30. > :09:31.Our Home Editor, Mark Easton, reports on the loss

:09:32. > :09:35.At 9:33am this morning, a minute's silence for PC Keith Palmer.

:09:36. > :09:40.48 years old, a husband and a father, who went to work

:09:41. > :09:50.Boxing instructor and former soldier Tony Davies saw the knife attack

:09:51. > :09:53.as he left a function at the Houses of Parliament yesterday afternoon,

:09:54. > :10:01.and immediately ran to Keith Palmer's aid.

:10:02. > :10:05.He brandished two knives, I had seen, attacking

:10:06. > :10:15.That's the decision I took to then leap the fence and try and give

:10:16. > :10:20.Yes, but it was a split-second decision and people

:10:21. > :10:29.Tony Davies was once in the same army regiment as Lee Rigby,

:10:30. > :10:36.the Fusilier stabbed to death in a terrorist attack in 2013.

:10:37. > :10:39.He remembers how no-one went to his colleague's aid that day

:10:40. > :10:42.and thinks that is part of the reason why he ran

:10:43. > :10:47.I was the first person to approach Keith and I noticed the head

:10:48. > :10:52.wound and I am shouting, "medic, get an ambulance."

:10:53. > :10:55.The biggest wound was in his rib cage.

:10:56. > :11:01.I tried to stem the blood flow with my rain jacket.

:11:02. > :11:05.I checked his pulse, to make sure he was breathing.

:11:06. > :11:11.I said, "Come on, Keith, stay with us, son, stay with us."

:11:12. > :11:17.I'm sure the professionals who were there on the scene

:11:18. > :11:27.He's being called a hero, some are saying he should be given

:11:28. > :11:31.How do you feel about the man you tried to save?

:11:32. > :11:36.Well, not a normal guy, he was protecting and sort

:11:37. > :11:39.of being an adviser on one of our most historic assets of this

:11:40. > :11:43.great nation and he is expecting just to do his normal

:11:44. > :11:48.daily shift and go home to have his tea with his family.

:11:49. > :11:52.A lot of people would regard what you did yesterday as quite

:11:53. > :11:59.Please, I don't want anyone to feel that.

:12:00. > :12:05.One of the core values in the army is selfless commitment.

:12:06. > :12:10.Maybe I showed a bit of that yesterday but just...

:12:11. > :12:17.It was frustrating more than anything that Keith

:12:18. > :12:31.Police Constable Keith Palmer symbolises the selfless public

:12:32. > :12:34.service and sacrifice vital to a civilised society.

:12:35. > :12:36.He was unarmed, guarding the epicentre of our democracy

:12:37. > :12:38.and epitomising the delicate balance between our security

:12:39. > :12:56.Two other victims of yesterday's attack have been named.

:12:57. > :12:58.Aysha Frade lived in London with her husband and

:12:59. > :13:01.And Kurt Cochrane, an American citizen,

:13:02. > :13:04.was in London with his wife to celebrate their 25th anniversary.

:13:05. > :13:06.Some 40 people from 11 different countries were injured,

:13:07. > :13:15.Sarah Campbell reports on the victims.

:13:16. > :13:18.A mother on the school run, mown down in broad daylight.

:13:19. > :13:20.Aysha Frade was 43 years old and leaves behind a husband

:13:21. > :13:26.Friends and neighbours have been paying tribute to her.

:13:27. > :13:29.She was just a lovely person with two lovely children.

:13:30. > :13:44.You leave your kids, go to school, and then to pick them up,

:13:45. > :13:47.She worked at a college near Westminster Bridge

:13:48. > :13:50.and was on her way to pick up her children when

:13:51. > :13:57.Helpful, supportive, smiling, always willing to help out

:13:58. > :14:01.with whatever the challenges and demands that teaching staff

:14:02. > :14:07.Aysha's mother was Spanish and today she was remembered by people

:14:08. > :14:15.Her family are understood to be travelling to Britain.

:14:16. > :14:16.In London, celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary,

:14:17. > :14:20.Melissa and Kurt Cochran from Utah in the United States.

:14:21. > :14:23.They were due to fly home today but Kurt was killed and Melissa

:14:24. > :14:30.President Trump described Kurt Cochran as a great American.

:14:31. > :14:31.His family said they are heartbroken.

:14:32. > :14:33.The couple's next-door neighbour said Kurt was friends with everyone.

:14:34. > :14:38.This is going to be a sad, tough time for everyone

:14:39. > :14:49.I think of Melissa and what she will have to face in the next little

:14:50. > :14:52.while and I'm sure the neighbourhood will gather around her and help

:14:53. > :14:58.A 75-year-old man who had been in hospital following the attack,

:14:59. > :15:06.The people who were injured came from 11 different countries

:15:07. > :15:08.including the United States, China, France and Germany.

:15:09. > :15:10.They were taken from Westminster to hospitals across London,

:15:11. > :15:17.Undergoing treatment for a fractured leg is 19-year-old Travis Frain.

:15:18. > :15:20.He was with fellow students on a field trip to Parliament

:15:21. > :15:27.He was pictured as emergency crews stretchered him away from the scene.

:15:28. > :15:37.Waiting for news inside the locked down parliament building

:15:38. > :15:39.Waiting for news inside the locked down Parliament building

:15:40. > :15:40.was his tutor from Edge Hill University.

:15:41. > :15:43.She told me today that Travis is doing well.

:15:44. > :15:47.Lots of other messages from other students wanting to know how he is.

:15:48. > :15:50.Clearly, he's not well, but he's dealing with it and he's

:15:51. > :15:57.Another school trip caught up in the chaos, three French students

:15:58. > :16:00.from this school in Brittany were injured, two of them

:16:01. > :16:04.were reported to have suffered serious fractures.

:16:05. > :16:07.Romanian officials say this woman, Andreea Cristea,

:16:08. > :16:09.who fell into the Thames, has undergone surgery to treat

:16:10. > :16:15.Her boyfriend sustained a broken foot.

:16:16. > :16:17.They had been celebrating her birthday.

:16:18. > :16:20.Several people remain in hospital including two police officers

:16:21. > :16:25.This was an attack in London, but its effects are being

:16:26. > :16:36.The Prime Minister has visited some of those

:16:37. > :16:40.Many were taken to St Mary's in Paddington,

:16:41. > :16:52.Our Health Editor, Hugh Pym, is there with the latest.

:16:53. > :17:00.What are the officials they are saying about the condition of some

:17:01. > :17:04.people being treated? It seems that 20 patients are still being treated

:17:05. > :17:10.for a range of injuries at the in central London. The largest single

:17:11. > :17:17.group is here at St Mary's in Paddington. Others are in Chelsea

:17:18. > :17:22.and Westminster and Kings College Hospital. As of this morning, seven

:17:23. > :17:29.were said to be in a critical condition. We were not told anything

:17:30. > :17:34.else. But now sadly it is six, as one of them died this evening. We

:17:35. > :17:40.don't know precisely which hospitals those six-hour in. We know they are

:17:41. > :17:45.critically ill as of this evening. In total, 29 people needed hospital

:17:46. > :17:50.treatment. Some of them were discharged today. As we have been

:17:51. > :17:54.hearing, they were from several nationalities. 12 of them were

:17:55. > :17:58.British. And of those, three were police officers who had been to an

:17:59. > :18:02.awards ceremony, were crossing Westminster Bridge yesterday

:18:03. > :18:06.afternoon and got caught up in the attack as the car ploughed through

:18:07. > :18:09.people on the bridge. All those three, two are said to be in a

:18:10. > :18:12.serious condition. Thank you. At Westminster, Home Secretary Amber

:18:13. > :18:14.Rudd has told the BBC that it would be wrong to see yesterday's

:18:15. > :18:17.attack as a failure She's spoke as members

:18:18. > :18:21.of parliament returned to work, where they heard the Prime Minister

:18:22. > :18:34.declare that they would never waver There are new images to light of the

:18:35. > :18:35.moment the Prime Minister was rushed from Parliament when the attack

:18:36. > :18:35.happened. Our Political Editor,

:18:36. > :18:38.Laura Kuennsberg, reports on the way parliament has responded

:18:39. > :18:40.to the attack. In the car, the Prime Minister's

:18:41. > :18:43.bodyguards hurrying her to safety. When what was really

:18:44. > :18:51.happening just wasn't clear. It was anything

:18:52. > :18:54.but just another day. This morning, Westminster

:18:55. > :18:58.a crime scene. But Parliament today

:18:59. > :19:01.was determined its traditions would The Speaker's daily

:19:02. > :19:12.procession, arcane as ever. MPs cramming in where they had been

:19:13. > :19:20.locked down for hours. Yet first, to show

:19:21. > :19:23.respect with silence. But yards from yesterday's escape,

:19:24. > :19:35.the Prime Minister's stood Beyond these walls today,

:19:36. > :19:38.in scenes repeated in towns and cities across the country,

:19:39. > :19:42.millions of people are going about their days and getting

:19:43. > :19:46.on with their lives. The streets are as busy as ever,

:19:47. > :19:49.the offices full, the coffee As I speak, millions will be

:19:50. > :19:54.boarding trains and aeroplanes to travel to London and to see

:19:55. > :19:56.for themselves the It is in these actions,

:19:57. > :20:03.millions of acts of normality, that we find the best response

:20:04. > :20:07.to terrorism, a response that denies our enemies their victory,

:20:08. > :20:11.that refuses to let them win, MPs queued to speak to mark

:20:12. > :20:21.the sacrifice of PC Palmer, killed trying to stop

:20:22. > :20:24.Khalid Masood getting in. Listening, the MP who tried

:20:25. > :20:27.for minutes to keep him alive, as one of the officer's friends,

:20:28. > :20:32.now a member of this He was a strong professional public

:20:33. > :20:43.servant, and it was a delight to meet him here again only a few

:20:44. > :20:48.months after being elected. Argument normally

:20:49. > :20:50.fills the air here. It behoves us all not to rush

:20:51. > :20:57.to judgment but to wait for the police to establish

:20:58. > :21:01.the facts, to stay united in our communities and not allow

:21:02. > :21:04.fear or the voices of hatred No terrorist outrage,

:21:05. > :21:14.no terrorist outrage is representative of any faith

:21:15. > :21:19.or of any faith community, and we recommit ourselves

:21:20. > :21:21.to strengthening the bonds It has been little

:21:22. > :21:29.short of a miracle that over the course

:21:30. > :21:30.of the last few years we have

:21:31. > :21:36.escaped so lightly. We must not allow, in the coming

:21:37. > :21:39.days and weeks, anyone to try and divide our country on the basis

:21:40. > :21:41.of faith and nationality We always know that the police keep

:21:42. > :21:47.us safe but yesterday in the most shocking of ways we saw how

:21:48. > :21:54.true that really is. The Muslim community itself have got

:21:55. > :22:00.to root out this cancer, they've got to stand up

:22:01. > :22:03.and be counted, and ensure that if they do know

:22:04. > :22:05.people who are radicalised, But the Home Secretary

:22:06. > :22:10.urged caution before pointing -- against pointing the finger of

:22:11. > :22:17.blame. Of course there will be people

:27:15. > :27:30.of the government's response so far Time has been on fast forward since

:27:31. > :27:33.we spoke last night. We had the sight of forensic officers crawling

:27:34. > :27:38.over the cobbles of Westminster behind me. Tears and a tribute in

:27:39. > :27:41.the House of Commons. In the wake of other terror attacks, whether here

:27:42. > :27:46.or elsewhere in Europe, sometimes governments have said, we have to

:27:47. > :27:51.look at new ways of countering this thread. We have to look at new ways

:27:52. > :27:55.to respond. In contrast, the government position today has been

:27:56. > :27:59.very much that we must not do anything knee jerk. Talking to the

:28:00. > :28:02.Home Secretary earlier, she was clear she doesn't believe new

:28:03. > :28:08.legislation or an injection of new resources are the kinds of solutions

:28:09. > :28:11.that are required. The government's message has been very much getting

:28:12. > :28:19.on and trying very hard to get back to business as usual. As the Home

:28:20. > :28:23.Secretary has suggested, we may have too, in 2017, despite our best

:28:24. > :28:27.efforts to combat this kind of attack, accept that, to use her

:28:28. > :28:31.phrase, there are a lot of bad people out there. Of course, that is

:28:32. > :28:36.something that other European cities have had to face up to some

:28:37. > :28:42.painfully -- so painfully in the last couple of years, until

:29:39. > :29:45.But the attendance of Presidents, Irish Prime Ministers and political

:29:46. > :29:47.rivals at his funeral was testament to the years he spent

:29:48. > :29:57.And the applause for the Unionist leader, British Arlene Foster,

:41:49. > :41:53.I suppose, the lessons being learned by the agencies in these early

:41:54. > :41:56.stages? Yes, whenever something like this happens, of course, Scotland

:41:57. > :42:00.Yard looks back to see if anything could have been done better. I think

:42:01. > :42:07.it would have been hard to prevent the loss of life on the bridge. If

:42:08. > :42:10.somebody chooses to mow people down on the bridge, it is hard to

:42:11. > :42:14.understand that. And the intelligence will have to look to

:42:15. > :42:19.see if opportunities were missed. And off the record, the one thing

:42:20. > :42:22.that could be looked at, the security at the palace of

:42:23. > :42:27.Westminster. It should not have been possible, really, for a man, armed

:42:28. > :42:31.with a knife, to have breached the external security of Westminster and

:42:32. > :42:35.kill one of their own officers. They will have to look again at the kind

:42:36. > :42:38.of arms security there is on the outside of the palace of

:42:39. > :42:43.Westminster, a way of making it more secure without turning it into a

:42:44. > :42:44.fortress. Daniel Sandford, once again, thank

:42:45. > :42:48.you very much at New Scotland Yard. That's all from us tonight.

:42:49. > :42:51.In a moment, the news where you are. But before we go, a look

:42:52. > :42:54.at the candlelit vigil held in Trafalgar Square earlier this

:42:55. > :42:56.evening, where Sophie Raworth spoke to some of those who come

:43:06. > :43:08.urged people to join him Tonight, thousands

:43:31. > :43:32.to be there. I don't protest and I don't wave
