:01:56. > :01:57.was using the secure WhatsApp messaging service shortly

:02:09. > :02:14.Our technology companies doing enough to combat terrorism? That was
:02:15. > :02:16.the question raised today, especially when it comes to
:02:17. > :02:33.encrypted communications. Coloured cannot pass on content of messages,
:02:34. > :02:37.because they do not have access to encrypted data. Today, the Home
:02:38. > :02:41.Secretary said it was not good enough. We must make sure that
:02:42. > :02:45.organisations like WhatsApp, there plenty of others like that, do not
:02:46. > :02:49.provide a secret place for terrorists to communicate with each
:02:50. > :02:52.other. It used to be that people would steam open envelopes or listen
:02:53. > :02:56.in on phones when they wanted to find out what people were doing
:02:57. > :02:58.legally, but we need to make sure that our intelligence services have
:02:59. > :03:13.the ability to get into situations like
:03:14. > :03:15.encrypted WhatsApp. Police say they are worried that technology
:03:16. > :03:17.companies are designing systems that will not allow for traditional
:03:18. > :03:19.surveillance. At the heart of this is inconsistency between the ability
:03:20. > :03:21.of police to lawfully intercept telephone calls, but not when those
:03:22. > :03:24.messages are exchanged via social media messaging boards, for example.
:03:25. > :03:29.That is an inconsistency in society, it surely is, we need a solution
:03:30. > :03:33.through appropriate legislation. But, encryption is getting more
:03:34. > :03:37.popular as it protects ordinary people's data from hackers and
:03:38. > :03:41.criminals, helping to preserve privacy. That makes some nervous
:03:42. > :03:45.about giving the state new powers to restrict it. They have huge powers
:03:46. > :03:49.of investigation already and there is a question of always balancing
:03:50. > :03:56.the rights to know, the need to know, with the right to privacy.
:03:57. > :04:01.Phones, as well as messages, can be in cryptic. After a terrorist attack
:04:02. > :04:05.in San Bernardino, America, there was a row between Apple and the FBI,
:04:06. > :04:10.who wanted a phone unlock. We don't know for sure in this case
:04:11. > :04:15.of police could access Masood's phone yet. It might help to once a
:04:16. > :04:19.whether he really did act alone, as police think. Encryption is an issue
:04:20. > :04:22.law enforcement and the government have long worried about. In the
:04:23. > :04:28.coming week, technology companies will be meeting with officials from
:04:29. > :04:30.here, at the Home Office, in a previously scheduled meeting.
:04:31. > :04:35.But encryption is only one of the issue is whether government wants
:04:36. > :04:42.technology companies to do more. The wealth of extremist content posted
:04:43. > :04:46.on websites is a high priority for the government, which fears is
:04:47. > :04:50.radicalising effect. It wants companies to find the material
:04:51. > :04:54.themselves and take it down, rather than wait for it to be reported to
:04:55. > :04:59.them. There's no sign of new legislation in the wake of this
:05:00. > :05:02.attack. Police have just got new powers over data, but authorities
:05:03. > :05:06.may be hoping that they can put enough pressure on technology
:05:07. > :05:12.companies to change their behaviour. Gordon Corera, BBC News.
:05:13. > :05:14.There's been another arrest in connection
:05:15. > :05:16.with the investigation into attack, with a 30-year-old man from

:05:21. > :05:22.but have been appealing for more information from people
:05:23. > :05:27.Our Home Affairs correspondent Tom Symonds reports.
:05:28. > :05:31.It took little more than a minute - a crude assault
:05:32. > :05:36.on the heart of Westminster which left its victims in its wake.
:05:37. > :05:39.Khalid Masood mounted the pavement on Westminster Bridge
:05:40. > :05:43.at just after 2:40, according to new information from the police.
:05:44. > :05:47.He drove fast, sending people running for cover,
:05:48. > :05:50.and 30 seconds later crashed into railings.
:05:51. > :05:54.Someone managed to make the first 999 call within 21 seconds.
:05:55. > :05:57.But Masood was out of the car and, after attacking a police officer,
:05:58. > :06:01.was shot dead half a minute later in the grounds of Parliament.
:06:02. > :06:07.From start to finish, it had taken 82 seconds.
:06:08. > :06:09.So those are the facts, but why did it happen?
:06:10. > :06:12.Tellingly, police now say they may never know
:06:13. > :06:15.the answer to that question, but they are looking closely
:06:16. > :06:17.at Khalid Masood's life in an attempt to discover
:06:18. > :06:22.Today, yet another home was being searched
:06:23. > :06:25.near his most recent address in Birmingham.

:06:51. > :06:53.between young Muslims and right-wing activists.
:06:54. > :06:56.The kind of people who commit terror...
:06:57. > :06:59.The answer to that question - why - could be complex.
:07:00. > :07:03.There can be anything between 15 to about 28 different reasons,
:07:04. > :07:05.different tell-tale signs, and my argument has consistently
:07:06. > :07:07.been that the Government has obsessively focused on one,
:07:08. > :07:09.which we refer to as Islamist ideology.
:07:10. > :07:15.Ideology is important, but it is but one factor.
:07:16. > :07:17.This tragedy has again led to questions

:07:54. > :07:56.ago is still questioned in custody and a 32-year-old woman, released
:07:57. > :08:00.from custody on bail. Most of the searching of addresses

:12:40. > :12:42.comes to budgets. It will leave doubts over spending, in terms of
