:00:20. > :00:24.terror attack was known to the police. Prime Minister Theresa May
:00:25. > :00:26.is defined. We're not afraid, and our resolve will never waver
:00:27. > :00:36.The victims are named. Policeman Keith Palmer died defending
:00:37. > :00:44.parliament. He was a married father of. American Kurt Cochrane was
:00:45. > :00:47.celebrating his wedding anniversary. In the last few minutes, we have
:00:48. > :00:52.heard a 75-year-old man has died of his injuries.
:00:53. > :00:56.Republicans are forced to delay the vote on their health care bill, a
:00:57. > :01:13.setback for Congressional leaders and the White House.
:01:14. > :01:20.Hello and welcome to our viewers on public television in America and
:01:21. > :01:23.around the globe. The man behind the Westminster terror attack, and who
:01:24. > :01:27.brought bloodshed to the heart of London, was British-born and known
:01:28. > :01:31.to police. He has been named as 52-year-old Khalid Masood. The
:01:32. > :01:35.so-called Islamic State group say they were behind the attack.
:01:36. > :01:38.Tonight, we have also heard that a 75-year-old man has become the
:01:39. > :01:42.fourth victim to have died of his injuries. Let's go straight to
:01:43. > :01:47.London now, to Westminster, and to my colleague Christian Fraser. Thank
:01:48. > :01:49.you very much. In the last half an hour, the court and around
:01:50. > :01:54.Parliament Square has been lifted, you will see behind me that traffic
:01:55. > :01:56.is now flowing freely and driving around the roundabout outside the
:01:57. > :02:01.Palace of Westminster, and in fact, our camera has got down to the gate.
:02:02. > :02:06.The forensic police have been there through the course of the evening,
:02:07. > :02:10.finishing up their investigation, but there you can see people milling
:02:11. > :02:14.around the gate. You may also be able to see why people had been
:02:15. > :02:16.talking about it as a potential weak spot around the Palace of
:02:17. > :02:23.Westminster. That gave through the day is where ministers drive -- that
:02:24. > :02:26.gate, and where ministers leave the Palace of Westminster. Often it is
:02:27. > :02:30.not closed, because it is so busy, and I think that will really be the
:02:31. > :02:34.focus of the security review that takes place in the weeks and months
:02:35. > :02:39.ahead. As Tim said, we have heard that while discordant was being
:02:40. > :02:47.lifted, that another victim has sadly died in Hospital, 75-year-old
:02:48. > :02:50.man who was receiving life-support. The decision was taken this evening
:02:51. > :02:54.at Saint Thomas' hospital that his life not be saved, and that
:02:55. > :03:00.life-support was withdrawn. We know a little bit more about the man who
:03:01. > :03:04.attacked the Parliament yesterday. He was 52-year-old Khalid Masood,
:03:05. > :03:11.born in Kent, who moved the Midlands some years ago. -- to the Midlands.
:03:12. > :03:14.He was on police radar for a time, but appears to have dropped off it.
:03:15. > :03:18.Our special correspondent Lucy Manning has taken a closer look at
:03:19. > :03:19.the mitigation, and sent us this report from Birmingham.
:03:20. > :03:35.With a car, and a knife, he brought terror to Parliament.
:03:36. > :03:36.He is Khalid Masood, a British-born attacker known
:03:37. > :03:39.to the police with a 20 year criminal record,

:04:19. > :04:21.He was a peripheral figure. The case is historic.
:04:22. > :04:24.He is not part of the current intelligence picture.
:04:25. > :04:27.There was no prior intelligence of his intent or of the plot.
:04:28. > :04:32.Just metres from where the Prime Minister spoke,
:04:33. > :04:37.on their knees, police slowly, meticulously searching for evidence,

:07:29. > :07:31.day. Uppermost in minds is that policeman, PC Keith Palmer, who was
:07:32. > :07:35.running towards that attacker when most people were running away. He
:07:36. > :07:41.was unarmed, only with a stab vest, which did not save him. He had given

:08:17. > :08:20.attacking one of the policemen. That's the decision I took to then
:08:21. > :08:25.leap the fence and try and give Yes, but it was a split-second
:08:26. > :08:36.decision and people Tony Davies was once in the same

:08:55. > :08:56.of the reason why he ran I was the first person to approach
:08:57. > :09:01.Keith and I noticed the head wound and I'm shouting,
:09:02. > :09:06."Medic, get an ambulance". The biggest wound
:09:07. > :09:11.was in his rib cage. I tried to stem the blood flow
:09:12. > :09:16.with my rain jacket. I checked his pulse,
:09:17. > :09:20.to make sure he was breathing. I said, "Come on, Keith,
:09:21. > :09:26.stay with us, son, stay with us". I'm sure the professionals
:09:27. > :09:31.who were there did all they could. Some are saying he should be given
:09:32. > :09:38.a medal for what he did. How do you feel about
:09:39. > :09:45.the man you tried to save? He was protecting and sort
:09:46. > :09:52.of being an adviser on one of our most historic assets of this
:09:53. > :09:58.great nation and he's expecting to do his normal daily shift and go
:09:59. > :10:02.home to have his tea A lot of people would regard
:10:03. > :10:09.what you did yesterday as quite No, please, I don't want
:10:10. > :10:13.anyone to feel that. One of the core values in the Army
:10:14. > :10:21.is selfless commitment. Maybe I showed a bit of that
:10:22. > :10:26.yesterday but just... It was frustrating more
:10:27. > :10:31.than anything, that Keith did not pull through.
:10:32. > :10:41.Sorry about that. Police Constable Keith Palmer
:10:42. > :10:44.symbolises the selfless public service and sacrifice,
:10:45. > :10:48.vital to a civilised society. He was unarmed, guarding

:11:26. > :11:29.Let's talk about those victims, because 40 people were injured
:11:30. > :11:34.yesterday. 29 of them admitted to hospital, and seven of several of

:14:55. > :14:59.attacker, and the 75-year-old was on life support, but that life-support

:15:11. > :15:15.around Parliament Square, I will hand you back to Tim in the studio.
:15:16. > :15:21.Thank you and much, Kristian. Staying with those attacks, I have
:15:22. > :15:26.been talking to Clint Watts, a former FBI special agent on the
:15:27. > :15:29.joint terrorism task force, who is now at the Foreign Policy Research
:15:30. > :15:33.Institute. What lessons can all of us, all
:15:34. > :15:35.countries learn from yesterday's attack?
:15:36. > :15:41.I think the big lesson we can learn is that the tactic, which was using
:15:42. > :15:45.automobiles, cars, trucks, to create mass violence and chaos, is still
:15:46. > :15:50.very much in effect. It is clear that Islamic State supporters are
:15:51. > :15:53.just jihadist supporters in general, and have seen this as a tactic they
:15:54. > :15:59.can implement anywhere, at any time. The other thing is, there is no
:16:00. > :16:03.profile for these attackers. Khalid Masood was 52 years old, much out of
:16:04. > :16:06.the normal. It is much older than most inspired plotters. That is not
:16:07. > :16:10.something you would normally look for in a profile, but what is a
:16:11. > :16:15.commonality of most of these Islamic State cases and the inspired
:16:16. > :16:18.recruits is their criminal history and criminal past. They seem to be
:16:19. > :16:22.more attractive to the Islamic State than previously to Al-Qaeda, which
:16:23. > :16:25.would sort of fat and train and recruit people who have much less
:16:26. > :16:29.common background. He had criminal convictions, but
:16:30. > :16:33.none for terror. How do you track someone like that? There are
:16:34. > :16:36.thousands and thousands of people with previous convictions who may
:16:37. > :16:39.not necessarily be radicalised and do something like this.
:16:40. > :16:44.Sadly, there is no one solution for it. What we have done so far, and
:16:45. > :16:48.really the United Kingdom probably does better than anyone in the
:16:49. > :16:52.world, is focus on these terror networks, the communications and
:16:53. > :16:56.connections. The United Kingdom has a great system for doing that. They
:16:57. > :16:59.triage much better than any of the other European countries, and
:17:00. > :17:03.England is on a par with the United States. But it is almost impossible
:17:04. > :17:10.to detect someone that maybe has been on the fringes of
:17:11. > :17:13.radicalisation, and I would say is, at this point, we should probably
:17:14. > :17:18.look for some kind of psychological trigger that happened recently and
:17:19. > :17:23.cause him to take this path. How difficult is it to identify
:17:24. > :17:24.these sites, given the dark web now and the ability to monitor so much
:17:25. > :17:28.traffic? If you don't have a centre nexus, or
:17:29. > :17:32.some kind of connection with the radical ideology or the actual
:17:33. > :17:35.operatives connected to the group, it is like trying to pick a needle
:17:36. > :17:39.out of a haystack. People are on social media, on the internet, all
:17:40. > :17:43.the time for a host of different causes, which has some kind of
:17:44. > :17:46.violent ideological bent, and how would you be able to take one
:17:47. > :17:50.person's musings, or just having a tough day, and separate it from
:17:51. > :17:54.someone who is willing to rent a car and go and kill citizens? It is
:17:55. > :18:00.nearly impossible to do, but what we can look for reserves triggers.
:18:01. > :18:03.Rental car companies oftentimes can indicate this kind of path, and that
:18:04. > :18:07.is something we will have to include in our suspicions activity
:18:08. > :18:12.reporting. -- suspicious activity. Thank you very much for joining us.
:18:13. > :18:18.One of the victims was Kurt Cochrane from Utah, who was on Westminster

:18:22. > :18:27.City. James, what have his family been saying there?
:18:28. > :18:30.Well, we are just outside the house of Kurt Cochrane, where obviously,
:18:31. > :18:35.this news has come as a terrible blow. Kurt and Melissa were in
:18:36. > :18:39.London, celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary, and visiting
:18:40. > :18:42.her parents, who were working as missionaries in the British capital
:18:43. > :18:48.for the Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day Saints. In particular,
:18:49. > :18:51.Kurt seems to have been a very well-known individual here. He was a
:18:52. > :18:55.well-known figure, particularly in the local music scene. He ran a
:18:56. > :18:59.music recording studio in his house and had another one in the city as
:19:00. > :19:02.well. I have talked to one friend and neighbour who knew him well, and
:19:03. > :19:08.said he was a very warm and gregarious man, and he told me how
:19:09. > :19:13.the community would rally around to help the family. Right now, as far
:19:14. > :19:17.as before this happened, we were great friends, and now, we're great
:19:18. > :19:24.friends, but this will be a tough time for us in the neighbourhood. I
:19:25. > :19:27.really feel bad, and I think of Melissa, and what she is going to
:19:28. > :19:33.have to face in the next while, and I'm sure that the community would
:19:34. > :19:40.gather round her and held her in every way they can. And we have a
:19:41. > :19:43.statement from Melissa's brother, who has issued a statement on behalf
:19:44. > :19:47.of the family. He says the family are heartbroken.
:19:48. > :19:51.They say they have lost at good man and a loving husband, and talking of
:19:52. > :19:55.Melissa's condition, they say only that she has serious injuries and is
:19:56. > :19:58.being cared for in hospital. The family have extended their thanks to
:19:59. > :20:02.emergency services and medical personnel in London caring for her,
