:00:00. > :00:07.After the Westminster attack, tech companies under pressure over

:00:08. > :00:12.the security services' access to encrypted messages.

:00:13. > :00:14.Khalid Masood is thought to have been using WhatsApp moments

:00:15. > :00:20.The Home Secretary says internet firms must act.

:00:21. > :00:24.We need to make sure that organisations like WhatsApp,

:00:25. > :00:26.and there are plenty of others like that, don't provide

:00:27. > :00:31.a secret place for terrorists to communicate with each other.

:00:32. > :00:34.In the last hour, another person's been arrested

:00:35. > :00:36.in connection with the attack - we'll have the latest.

:00:37. > :00:40.Also on the programme, the explosion that injured

:00:41. > :00:43.more than 30 people on the Wirral - a gas accident is suspected.

:00:44. > :00:47.Labour calls for proper parliamentary scrutiny

:00:48. > :00:53.of EU regulations as they become part of UK law.

:00:54. > :01:16.And can England hold off Lithuania in their World Cup qualifier?

:01:17. > :01:20.The Home Secretary, Amber Rudd, has increased pressure

:01:21. > :01:22.on internet companies in the wake of the Westminster attack,

:01:23. > :01:28.warning them not to provide a secret place for terrorists to communicate.

:01:29. > :01:31.It's understood that Khalid Masood, who killed four people on Wednesday,

:01:32. > :01:33.was using the secure WhatsApp messaging service

:01:34. > :01:38.shortly before he began his murderous rampage.

:01:39. > :01:41.Our correspondent Jonny Dymond reports.

:01:42. > :01:45.Has the freedom to say what you want online and keep it private

:01:46. > :01:52.run into our need for security in an age of terror?

:01:53. > :01:56.Khalid Masood was active on the messaging network WhatsApp

:01:57. > :02:00.just before he started his murderous rampage.

:02:01. > :02:08.only the sender and the recipient can see them.

:02:09. > :02:11.Masood is said to have been acting alone,

:02:12. > :02:16.but the authorities would dearly like to know

:02:17. > :02:19.what he said and who he said it to before he began.

:02:20. > :02:21.The security services, says the Home Secretary, need access.

:02:22. > :02:25.We need to make sure that organisations like WhatsApp,

:02:26. > :02:29.and there are plenty of others like that, don't provide

:02:30. > :02:32.a secret place for terrorists to communicate with each other.

:02:33. > :02:37.It used to be that people would steam open envelopes or just

:02:38. > :02:41.listen in on phones when they wanted to find out what people were doing

:02:42. > :02:43.- legally, through warrantry - but in this situation,

:02:44. > :02:45.we need to make sure that our intelligence services

:02:46. > :02:47.have the ability to get into situations

:02:48. > :02:52.The Home Secretary says she'll be talking to the big tech companies

:02:53. > :02:57.this week about loosening the privacy around messaging networks.

:02:58. > :03:02.For law enforcement, change cannot come soon enough.

:03:03. > :03:07.At the heart of this is a stark inconsistency between the ability

:03:08. > :03:11.of the police to lawfully intercept telephone calls but not

:03:12. > :03:13.when those messages are exchanged via a social-media messaging board,

:03:14. > :03:16.for example, and that is an inconsistency in society,

:03:17. > :03:19.it surely is, and we have to find a solution

:03:20. > :03:21.through the appropriate legislation.

:03:22. > :03:24.It's not just encrypted messaging that alarms the Government.

:03:25. > :03:29.There's also deep concern over the threat of online radicalisation -

:03:30. > :03:33.websites that glorify violence and encourage viewers

:03:34. > :03:45.The tech companies say they take material like this down

:03:46. > :03:53.A new law on encryption, says the Labour leader, would go too far.

:03:54. > :03:58.They have huge powers of investigation already,

:03:59. > :04:02.there is a question of always balancing the right to know,

:04:03. > :04:06.the need to know, with the right to privacy.

:04:07. > :04:09.WhatsApp says it is cooperating with the police,

:04:10. > :04:14.but the trade-off between freedom, privacy and security

:04:15. > :04:20.as the country mourns the carnage of Wednesday afternoon.

:04:21. > :04:29.that there's been another arrest in connection with the attack.

:04:30. > :04:32.A 30-year-old man from Birmingham is being questioned.

:04:33. > :04:34.The police believe Khalid Masood acted alone on the day

:04:35. > :04:36.but have been appealing for more information

:04:37. > :04:38.from people who knew him or came across him.

:04:39. > :04:43.Our home affairs correspondent Tom Symonds reports.

:04:44. > :04:46.It took little more than a minute - a crude assault

:04:47. > :04:51.on the heart of Westminster which left its victims in its wake.

:04:52. > :04:54.Khalid Masood mounted the pavement on Westminster Bridge

:04:55. > :04:59.at just after 2:40, according to new information from the police.

:05:00. > :05:02.He drove fast, sending people running for cover,

:05:03. > :05:05.and 30 seconds later crashed into railings.

:05:06. > :05:11.Someone managed to make the first 999 call within 21 seconds.

:05:12. > :05:14.But Masood was out of the car and, after attacking a police officer,

:05:15. > :05:19.was shot dead half a minute later in the grounds of Parliament.

:05:20. > :05:23.From start to finish, it had taken 82 seconds.

:05:24. > :05:25.So those are the facts, but why did it happen?

:05:26. > :05:28.Tellingly, police now say they may never know

:05:29. > :05:32.the answer to that question, but they are looking closely

:05:33. > :05:35.at Khalid Masood's life in an attempt to discover

:05:36. > :05:39.Today, yet another home was being searched

:05:40. > :05:42.near his most recent address in Birmingham.

:05:43. > :05:46.One man who lives around the corner is still in custody.

:05:47. > :05:48.We know Khalid Masood had a violent past,

:05:49. > :05:54.when he may have adopted extreme political views,

:05:55. > :05:57.possibly while serving a prison sense in 2003,

:05:58. > :06:01.or during two periods living in Saudi Arabia,

:06:02. > :06:06.or after moving to Luton around 2010, at a time of confrontation

:06:07. > :06:09.between young Muslims and right-wing activists.

:06:10. > :06:12.The kind of people who commit terror...

:06:13. > :06:17.The answer to that question - why - could be complex.

:06:18. > :06:20.There can be anything between 15 to about 28 different reasons,

:06:21. > :06:22.different tell-tale signs, and my argument has consistently

:06:23. > :06:25.been that the Government has obsessively focused on one,

:06:26. > :06:29.which we refer to as Islamist ideology.

:06:30. > :06:32.Ideology is important, but it is but one factor.

:06:33. > :06:34.This tragedy has again led to questions

:06:35. > :06:38.about the Government's strategy to fight radicalisation.

:06:39. > :06:40.Those who have to spot tomorrow's potential terrorists

:06:41. > :06:57.This remains a focus for this investigation, and as you heard, the

:06:58. > :07:03.Met has said tonight there is another arrest, a 30-year-old man

:07:04. > :07:06.taken into custody on suspicion of preparing for terrorism. That is on

:07:07. > :07:09.top of a 58-year-old man arrested in Birmingham who has been in custody

:07:10. > :07:14.for three days and a 32-year-old woman who has been released on bail.

:07:15. > :07:18.Most of the searches that you see there that have been taking place

:07:19. > :07:22.now complete, just one still ongoing, but I think there is a

:07:23. > :07:24.sense that this is just the end of the beginning.

:07:25. > :07:26.Tom, thank you, Tom Symonds reporting.

:07:27. > :07:29.More than 30 people have been injured, two of them seriously,

:07:30. > :07:32.in what's suspected to have been a gas explosion on the Wirral.

:07:33. > :07:36.It could be several days before people who live in the area

:07:37. > :07:38.are allowed to return to their homes.

:07:39. > :07:39.Linsey Smith reports from the scene.

:07:40. > :07:44.The scale of the devastation shows just how powerful the explosion was.

:07:45. > :07:47.One of the three businesses that stood here was a dance studio.

:07:48. > :07:53.Just an hour before, it had been full of children.

:07:54. > :08:00.This sound of the building blowing up was captured

:08:01. > :08:13.There is a multitude of injuries that have happened,

:08:14. > :08:15.but the two patients that have gone through

:08:16. > :08:19.to the major trauma unit at Aintree, they've had significant injuries.

:08:20. > :08:25.Christine Pickup had been baby-sitting her grandchildren.

:08:26. > :08:27.I don't know how we walked out of there.

:08:28. > :08:30.I think the children, because their bed is slightly higher

:08:31. > :08:33.than the low windows in these old houses,

:08:34. > :08:36.the blast lifted the mattress up and threw it over the children,

:08:37. > :08:38.cos they said they felt things hitting them,

:08:39. > :08:45.and I think the mattress just saved them with the...masonry.

:08:46. > :08:48.Police are now leading an investigation.

:08:49. > :08:53.A number of local people say they smelt gas yesterday and on Friday.

:08:54. > :08:55.National Grid engineers are at the scene

:08:56. > :08:59.and say they have found no faults so far.

:09:00. > :09:11.many residents will spend at least another night out of their homes.

:09:12. > :09:17.Well, residents here say they remain shocked by the events of last night,

:09:18. > :09:21.and it will be some time before this quiet residential area returns to

:09:22. > :09:24.normal. That is because not only the remains of the damaged building have

:09:25. > :09:30.to be removed, but beyond that there are rounds... Is of home that have

:09:31. > :09:34.no friends on them, the windows and doors blown out by the force of the

:09:35. > :09:39.blast, and for that reason it will be some time before people can

:09:40. > :09:41.return home. -- there are rows of homes that have no friends on them.

:09:42. > :09:43.Lindsey Smith, thank you. Police in Moscow say around

:09:44. > :09:45.700 people have been arrested Among them is Russia's

:09:46. > :09:48.main opposition leader. Alexei Navalny organised

:09:49. > :09:49.the demonstration which saw thousands take to the streets

:09:50. > :09:52.in several Russian cities. The protesters were calling

:09:53. > :09:53.for the prime minister, Dmitry Medvedev, to resign

:09:54. > :10:00.over corruption allegations. Talks aimed at forming

:10:01. > :10:02.a power-sharing government in Northern Ireland appear to have

:10:03. > :10:05.broken down after Sinn Fein said it wouldn't be nominating its leader

:10:06. > :10:07.at Stormont to become Deputy First Minister

:10:08. > :10:08.by tomorrow's deadline. But Sinn Fein President Gerry Adams

:10:09. > :10:12.said it should be possible to agree a power-sharing arrangement

:10:13. > :10:17.at some point in the future. The head of Britain's biggest union,

:10:18. > :10:18.Unite, has said that Jeremy Corbyn

:10:19. > :10:21.should be given 15 months to see if he can improve

:10:22. > :10:23.Labour's poll ratings. Len McCluskey is standing

:10:24. > :10:24.for re-election for a general election

:10:25. > :10:39.if one is called. Jeremy Corbyn has said he'll oppose

:10:40. > :10:42.the Government's plans to change European laws without parliamentary

:10:43. > :10:44.scrutiny when they become part of UK The Government wants to include

:10:45. > :10:50.the powers in its Great Repeal Bill, which will be published in draft

:10:51. > :10:52.form this week. Our political correspondent

:10:53. > :10:57.Alex Forsyth has the story. Some still might not want it,

:10:58. > :11:01.but Brexit is beckoning. and the Government is about

:11:02. > :11:09.to start the formal process. Parliament will see the historic

:11:10. > :11:11.moment this week, followed by details of the

:11:12. > :11:13.Government's plan to give control over UK laws to Westminster

:11:14. > :11:19.instead of Brussels. Some warn, as this complex work

:11:20. > :11:23.begins, MPs must be involved. We're not going to set there and

:11:24. > :11:26.hand over powers to this government to override Parliament,

:11:27. > :11:30.override democracy and just set down

:11:31. > :11:32.a series of diktats, what's going to happen

:11:33. > :11:43.in the future. It will introduce a Great Repeal

:11:44. > :11:45.Bill, bringing EU regulations into domestic law - everything from

:11:46. > :11:49.environmental legislation to workers' rights. Then the

:11:50. > :11:54.regulations can be changed or abolished after Brexit to suit the

:11:55. > :11:58.UK. The Bill will also include powers for the Government to amend

:11:59. > :12:03.some EU laws during the process, without full Parliamentary scrutiny.

:12:04. > :12:07.The Government has already faced battles over Parliament's role in

:12:08. > :12:11.the Brexit process, and a Great Repeal Bill looks like it could be

:12:12. > :12:15.the next big skirmish. Some MPs and peers fear they'll be cut out of key

:12:16. > :12:20.decisions. The Government insists they will have a say and says major

:12:21. > :12:26.policy changes, like new immigration or customs controls, will be subject

:12:27. > :12:31.to full scrutiny. But ministers say there must be a way of making small

:12:32. > :12:36.technical tweaks, like on picking some of the EU terminology. It will

:12:37. > :12:43.a limited and defined power, not to act like a dictator, by secondary

:12:44. > :12:47.legislation, and the scope, the scope, the definition of those

:12:48. > :12:50.powers and when they can be used, in what circumstances, is something

:12:51. > :12:55.that Parliament will have to approve in boating through the Bill itself.

:12:56. > :12:59.But some resistance is likely. The sheer complexity of Brexit means

:13:00. > :13:04.very little will be plain sailing. Alex Forsyth, BBC News, Westminster.

:13:05. > :13:08.Time now for some sport, let's joint Karthi Gnanasegaram at the BBC Sport

:13:09. > :13:10.centre. England are playing Lithuania

:13:11. > :13:12.in a qualifying game Jermain Defoe marked his return

:13:13. > :13:16.to international football at the age of 34 with the opening goal,

:13:17. > :13:19.and with just a few minutes remaining, England

:13:20. > :13:30.are now leading 2-0. A day to put football firmly in

:13:31. > :13:35.perspective. Armed police on duty as Wembley struck a poignant note.

:13:58. > :14:03.The match itself seemed straightforward for England, it

:14:04. > :14:07.certainly began that way. The recall Jermain Defoe slotting them ahead.

:14:08. > :14:11.Although an error from keeper Joe Hart nearly gifted Lithuania and

:14:12. > :14:17.equaliser, England were in control at the break. After it, they

:14:18. > :14:20.struggled for fluency at first, but eventually they founded. Substitute

:14:21. > :14:25.Jamie Vardy keeping his cool to extend England's advantage.

:14:26. > :14:31.Well, the very latest, I can tell you, is that England still lead to-

:14:32. > :14:36.zero with just a few minutes remaining. Some fans, as you can

:14:37. > :14:40.see, heading for an early exit. It has not been a hugely convincing

:14:41. > :14:42.display, but England on course to stay top of their qualifying group,

:14:43. > :14:46.Karthi. Scotland are in the same group

:14:47. > :14:48.as England, and they face Slovenia

:14:49. > :14:50.at 7.45 this evening. Northern Ireland play Norway

:14:51. > :14:53.in Group C at the same time. The first Formula One Grand Prix

:14:54. > :14:56.of the year has been won by Sebastian Vettel,

:14:57. > :14:58.who beat Lewis Hamilton, despite the British driver

:14:59. > :15:00.starting on pole position. Hamilton is aiming to win

:15:01. > :15:12.a fourth world title this year. A new season, and for Formula One,

:15:13. > :15:16.the start of a new year, the car is now bigger, faster. Still, there are

:15:17. > :15:22.some sites that might be a rather familiar, Lewis Hamilton's Mercedes

:15:23. > :15:25.beginning at the front is one, staying there is the challenge that

:15:26. > :15:29.never changes, and with being the race favoured, their servants Dummer

:15:30. > :15:34.comes a certain type of pressure, in this case from the Ferrari of

:15:35. > :15:38.Sebastian Vettel, a battle of speed that would ultimately decided by a

:15:39. > :15:45.stop. Hamilton in four new tyres, allowing Vettel to take the lead. We

:15:46. > :15:51.need to get past Verstappen. I don't know how you expect me to do that

:15:52. > :15:55.right now. A hold-up that allowed the Ferrari to get in and out

:15:56. > :16:02.without losing the lead. For Hamilton and is Mercedes team, the

:16:03. > :16:05.chance was gone. A comfortable victory for Vettel, Hamilton second,

:16:06. > :16:09.and if this is a new era for the sport, it may be this rivalry that

:16:10. > :16:12.comes to define it. Adam Wild, BBC News.
