Hello, it's Friday, it's 9am, I'm Joanna Gosling -

:00:08.:00:10.

More details emerge of the man who carried out

:00:11.:00:14.

Khalid Masood was born Adrian Russell Ajao

:00:15.:00:20.

We'll ask how the 52-year-old was converted to radical Islam.

:00:21.:00:30.

In the past hour, police say they've made two further significant arrests

:00:31.:00:33.

overnight and are trawling through massive amounts

:00:34.:00:35.

We've had contact with about 3500 witnesses, including 1000 people

:00:36.:00:43.

from Westminster Bridge, and about 2500 who were within

:00:44.:00:45.

An American tourist posts a picture of murdered police

:00:46.:00:54.

officer Keith Palmer, taken less than an hour before

:00:55.:00:56.

he died, as police name the 75-year-old man who died

:00:57.:00:58.

from his injuries last night as Leslie Rhodes from South London.

:00:59.:01:05.

I'm Ben Brown life at Westminster, where all the roads now have

:01:06.:01:09.

reopened for the first time since the attack. I will have the latest

:01:10.:01:13.

on the fast-moving police investigation into what happened

:01:14.:01:14.

here. Hello, welcome to the programme,

:01:15.:01:27.

we're live until 11am this morning. We'll have the very latest

:01:28.:01:30.

on the aftermath of Wednesday's terror attacks throughout

:01:31.:01:33.

the programme this morning. One person who rushed to the aid

:01:34.:01:34.

of victims on Westminster Bridge We'll also hear from

:01:35.:01:37.

senior faith leaders. Plus people caught up in the terror

:01:38.:01:41.

attacks in Nice, Paris, Berlin and Brussels tell us how

:01:42.:01:43.

they coped afterwards. Do get in touch on all the stories

:01:44.:01:47.

we're talking about this morning - If you text, you will be charged

:01:48.:01:50.

at the standard network rate. First let's get the latest

:01:51.:02:00.

from my colleague Ben Brown, who's In the last hour, police

:02:01.:02:12.

investigating the attack here at Westminster have revealed that they

:02:13.:02:17.

have made two further significant arrests overnight, so nine people

:02:18.:02:21.

are now in custody altogether, one woman has been released, we hear, on

:02:22.:02:25.

bail. A fourth victim, meanwhile, who died last night has been named

:02:26.:02:31.

by the police as 75-year-old Leslie Rhodes, he was from Streatham in

:02:32.:02:36.

south London. Scotland Yard's Acting Deputy Commissioner Mark Rowley said

:02:37.:02:40.

the attacker, Khalid Masood, had been born Adrian Russell Ajao. With

:02:41.:02:45.

the latest, here is Jane Francis Kelly.

:02:46.:02:49.

This photo is thought to have been taken of PC Keith Palmer just 45

:02:50.:02:55.

minutes before he died. The American tourist scene with him was at

:02:56.:02:58.

Westminster prior to the attack and asked if she could pose with the

:02:59.:03:01.

opposite. Other victims of the attack were Aysha Frade, a mother of

:03:02.:03:08.

two. Also an American tourist, Kurt Cochran. Police have also confirmed

:03:09.:03:12.

another man has died. Sadly last night another man died in

:03:13.:03:16.

hospital as a result of the injury sustained during the attack. Whilst

:03:17.:03:20.

we await formal identification, we believe that he is Leslie Rhodes,

:03:21.:03:25.

aged 75, from Streatham in south London. My thoughts are with his

:03:26.:03:31.

family at this time. Furthermore, two people remain in hospital in

:03:32.:03:36.

what is described as critical condition, and one person is

:03:37.:03:38.

considered to have life-threatening injuries.

:03:39.:03:43.

The man responsible for the deaths was 52-year-old Khalid Masood, his

:03:44.:03:47.

birth name Adrian Russell Ajao. He was born in Kent and most recently

:03:48.:03:51.

lived in the West Midlands. He had a range of previous convictions

:03:52.:03:55.

including GBH, possessing of offensive weapons, and public order

:03:56.:04:00.

offences. His last conviction was in 2003 for possession of a knife. He

:04:01.:04:04.

was also known under a number of aliases and was known to the

:04:05.:04:09.

security services. Police said overnight there were two significant

:04:10.:04:12.

arrests in the West Midlands and Northwest, nine people are in

:04:13.:04:17.

custody, one woman has been released on bail. They appealed for

:04:18.:04:20.

information. Anyone who knew Khalid Masood well, anyone who understands

:04:21.:04:24.

who his associates were, anyone who can provide information about the

:04:25.:04:27.

places he has recently visited. There might well be people out there

:04:28.:04:33.

who did have concerns about Masood but weren't sure all didn't feel

:04:34.:04:36.

comfortable for whatever reason in passing that information to us. I

:04:37.:04:41.

now urge anyone with such information to callers. The attack

:04:42.:04:44.

has reverberated across the world, but it was an attack at the heart of

:04:45.:04:52.

British democracy. Shots show the Prime Minister being led away to

:04:53.:04:57.

safety by her security team, the scene of uncertainty. It was still

:04:58.:05:01.

unclear what had gone on outside the gates of Westminster. Last night the

:05:02.:05:04.

police, politicians and faith leaders joined thousands of people

:05:05.:05:08.

in Trafalgar Square, with the message that terrorism and fear will

:05:09.:05:09.

not prevail. We have had more details, as you

:05:10.:05:18.

were hearing, about the police investigation, including news that

:05:19.:05:22.

they have made two more significant arrests as they told us this

:05:23.:05:23.

morning. Let's get the latest

:05:24.:05:24.

from the Metropolitan Police Headquarters at Scotland Yard

:05:25.:05:26.

with our correspondent Yes, we had that update just under

:05:27.:05:39.

an hour ago from Acting Deputy Commissioner Mark Rowley. He came

:05:40.:05:43.

out and spoke just behind me here, and initially paid tribute to those

:05:44.:05:48.

who died. He named 75-year-old Leslie Rhodes from south London, and

:05:49.:05:52.

he gave us an update also on those in hospital, as we said two people

:05:53.:05:57.

critical, one person still have life-threatening injuries. He also

:05:58.:06:00.

mentioned another two police officers who had been taken to

:06:01.:06:05.

hospital, they remain in hospital with significant injuries. He said

:06:06.:06:12.

in total 50 people required hospital attention. Then he went on to focus

:06:13.:06:19.

on the attacker, Khalid Masood. His birth name, Adrian Russell Ajao.

:06:20.:06:24.

What he said is that the investigation will focus on how and

:06:25.:06:28.

when he came to be radicalised. The words that he used, he wanted

:06:29.:06:32.

information, they are trying to piece together this picture on his

:06:33.:06:38.

motivation, his preparation, and also his associates. So he called

:06:39.:06:42.

for anyone with any information, anyone who knew him at all, to come

:06:43.:06:48.

forward and speak to police. He also mentioned the two arrests, his words

:06:49.:06:52.

were there were two significant arrests overnight, there had

:06:53.:06:58.

previously been eight, one woman has been released on bail. He also spoke

:06:59.:07:03.

about the number of people who have already come forward, more than 3000

:07:04.:07:08.

people have already come forward with witness details. He didn't go

:07:09.:07:12.

into detail as to what they have come forward with, but he said it

:07:13.:07:16.

was a significant amount of people who have come forward. He also

:07:17.:07:20.

talked about security at Parliament, he said that would be reviewed,

:07:21.:07:24.

although he made the point that Parliament is a tourist attraction,

:07:25.:07:28.

it is open to visitors, but in light of what happened they would have to

:07:29.:07:33.

review security there. But he very much said that London is open for

:07:34.:07:38.

business, and he made the point that armed officers were patrolling

:07:39.:07:41.

London at double strength at this point.

:07:42.:07:44.

Alexandra thank you very much indeed.

:07:45.:07:48.

Armed police have raided several properties in Birmingham in

:07:49.:07:52.

connection to the attack here at Westminster. Let's cross to our

:07:53.:07:58.

correspondent Kathryn Stanczyszyn, who is in Birmingham for us this

:07:59.:07:59.

morning. We know that Birmingham is a centre

:08:00.:08:06.

of police interest in this case, partly because the assailant hired

:08:07.:08:09.

the beer call that he used in the attack there in Birmingham.

:08:10.:08:17.

Yes, that is correct, and those two significant arrests that police have

:08:18.:08:21.

updated in the last hour, one of those was made overnight here in the

:08:22.:08:25.

West Midlands as well, one in the north-west, and seven of the arrests

:08:26.:08:28.

yesterday were made here in the West Midlands as well. As you say, we

:08:29.:08:33.

know that the car used on the Westminster Bridge attack was

:08:34.:08:38.

actually hired from a rental centre around five minutes from where I am

:08:39.:08:43.

now on Hagley Road. This is where the activity was focused first here

:08:44.:08:47.

in Birmingham on Wednesday night, a flat behind me was raided by armed

:08:48.:08:53.

officers. The activity then moved to a flat about five minutes away where

:08:54.:09:00.

it is believed the attacker actually lived for some time, neighbours

:09:01.:09:04.

shocked to recognise Khalid Masood in photographs, saying that they

:09:05.:09:07.

believed he had been living in a house there up until around two

:09:08.:09:11.

months ago. The car rental centre is just a short walk from there and BBC

:09:12.:09:17.

sources have told us they believe he actually hired that car directly

:09:18.:09:25.

himself. This has been a huge police operation, searches have spanned a

:09:26.:09:28.

big geographical area, Sussex, London, here in the West Midlands

:09:29.:09:32.

and in Wales as well, but of course the prevalence of the arrests made

:09:33.:09:35.

here in Birmingham have led people to talk about whether the city has a

:09:36.:09:40.

problem with radicalisation, some of the press describing Birmingham as a

:09:41.:09:44.

terror hotspot this morning. Of course, the vast majority of Muslims

:09:45.:09:50.

say this is not even in the same universe as their fate, and of

:09:51.:09:54.

course the Birmingham Faith leaders network has put out a statement

:09:55.:09:57.

saying, we completely reject any opportunity to blame any faith in

:09:58.:10:05.

the city for the perverted actions of one individual, and indeed a

:10:06.:10:09.

special unity Pigem is going to be held in Birmingham on the high

:10:10.:10:15.

street at 5pm today, that has been organised by the Muslim engagement

:10:16.:10:19.

network and Stand Up To Racism jointly, they say they want to pay

:10:20.:10:24.

tribute to the victims of the attack but also show all communities in

:10:25.:10:28.

Birmingham are standing together. Thank you very much indeed.

:10:29.:10:30.

Last night, police said a 75-year-old man had died

:10:31.:10:32.

It takes the number of victims to four.

:10:33.:10:41.

In terms of casualties, police said 50 people were injured in all and

:10:42.:10:47.

two are still in a critical condition. Let's get the latest on

:10:48.:10:49.

those casualties. My colleague Fiona Lamdin

:10:50.:10:51.

is at Kings College Hospital Yes, I am about three miles from

:10:52.:11:04.

where the attack took place, you can see the police still here regarding

:11:05.:11:09.

the hospital, very sad news came in last night that 75-year-old Leslie

:11:10.:11:13.

Rhodes from Streatham, not far from here, died here at the hospital last

:11:14.:11:17.

night, which takes the number of victims to ball who died following

:11:18.:11:22.

the attacks, so we now know Leslie Rhodes, PC Keith Palmer, the police

:11:23.:11:26.

officer who was protecting Parliament who was stabbed, Aysha

:11:27.:11:30.

Frade, who was on her way to pick up a two children from school, and Kurt

:11:31.:11:35.

Cochran, the US tourist who was here celebrating his 25th wedding

:11:36.:11:40.

anniversary. The hospital told us on Wednesday afternoon, they brought

:11:41.:11:43.

eight victims here to Kings College Hospital, we know that one is still

:11:44.:11:48.

in a critical condition, two people were allowed home yesterday which

:11:49.:11:51.

must have been a huge relief to their family, so this morning we

:11:52.:11:58.

know there are five victims being treated here behind me.

:11:59.:11:58.

The owner, thank you very much. Here at Westminster, life is

:11:59.:12:04.

returning to normal, the roads have reopened, traffic is moving as

:12:05.:12:08.

normal for the first time since the attack, in keeping really with the

:12:09.:12:12.

Prime Minister's message that life here in London and in the country

:12:13.:12:16.

has to continue as normal and that terrorism cannot be seen to win.

:12:17.:12:19.

That is the very latest from Westminster. You are watching BBC

:12:20.:12:21.

News. A summary now of the day's of the

:12:22.:12:25.

news at the BBC newsroom. Bad behaviour in English schools

:12:26.:12:32.

is not being dealt with properly and pupils' performance

:12:33.:12:36.

is being negatively effected. That's the view of the

:12:37.:12:37.

the Government's school In a review published today, he says

:12:38.:12:39.

more funding and better training The report also recommends that

:12:40.:12:45.

school inspectors pay more attention to behaviour issues, and warns

:12:46.:12:49.

they are often glossed over The President of the European

:12:50.:12:52.

Commission has told the BBC that the EU will not seek to punish

:12:53.:12:58.

Britain during Brexit negotiations. Speaking on the eve of the EU's 60th

:12:59.:13:01.

anniversary celebrations, Jean-Claude Juncker said the exit

:13:02.:13:07.

talks will be approached fairly but warned that Britain will be held

:13:08.:13:09.

to financial commitments made Customers should be paid automatic

:13:10.:13:12.

compensation by their phone companies for problems

:13:13.:13:21.

with landlines and broadband. The telecoms regulator Ofcom says

:13:22.:13:25.

providers should pay customers for slow repairs,

:13:26.:13:27.

delayed connections The plans could affect more

:13:28.:13:28.

than 2.5 million customers who would receive up to ?185 million

:13:29.:13:31.

in new compensation At the moment, compensation is only

:13:32.:13:35.

paid to a small number of customers. That's a summary of the latest BBC

:13:36.:13:47.

News - more at 9.30am. We will shortly talk to one of the

:13:48.:13:56.

people who was first at the scene after the Westminster attack, did

:13:57.:13:59.

not realise it was a terror attack at that stage but stepped in to help

:14:00.:14:03.

one victim in particular who had been injured. We will also be

:14:04.:14:07.

talking about security at Westminster, which is being looked

:14:08.:14:11.

at in the aftermath of the attack, and we will be asking, should police

:14:12.:14:15.

officers in the UK now be routinely armed? Get in touch with your

:14:16.:14:21.

thoughts. An e-mail from Michael saying, I'm a retired London taxi

:14:22.:14:23.

driver who'd used to drive in with MPs all the time through that gate.

:14:24.:14:27.

The policemen just glanced into the back of the cap to recognise the MP

:14:28.:14:31.

and then nodded to me to go ahead. That is not good enough, what is

:14:32.:14:36.

needed is similar to the gates to Downing Street. How they all knew

:14:37.:14:41.

more than 100 MPs with just a glance beats me.

:14:42.:14:44.

And a text to say the last photo of the police officer killed is the

:14:45.:14:50.

most the coverage of the attack, reducing me to tears, thank you to

:14:51.:14:54.

the lady for releasing it for the family, it brings home the human

:14:55.:14:56.

tragedy of the attack. We will have more in a few moments,

:14:57.:14:58.

but let's catch up with the sport. The new Formula 1 season is

:14:59.:15:05.

underway, how has Lewis Hamilton been getting on?

:15:06.:15:10.

Is very, very impressive start the Lewis Hamilton in Australia

:15:11.:15:15.

overnight, fastest in both sessions ahead of the Australian Grand Prix

:15:16.:15:18.

and in second practice, these are the pictures from a lap which was a

:15:19.:15:22.

scorcher, more than half a second faster than anyone else, potentially

:15:23.:15:29.

knocking up to five seconds off lap times. The second quickest to

:15:30.:15:34.

Hamilton was Sebastian Vettel in his Ferrari, who claimed would be

:15:35.:15:39.

Mercedes' biggest rival for a fourth straight title. He said they would

:15:40.:15:43.

be the ones to beat, which, after what happened today, seems no more

:15:44.:15:47.

than mind games. To tell you about the other changes to the cars, they

:15:48.:15:52.

are wider, wider back wheels as well, up to 80 centimetres wider,

:15:53.:15:56.

which as you saw on the pictures is quite a lot in Formula 1 terms but

:15:57.:16:00.

makes them harder to drive and certainly harder to overtake, so

:16:01.:16:04.

while there is excitement about the speed, we hope that is matched by

:16:05.:16:09.

the track -- on the track with all that overtaking.

:16:10.:16:12.

What about the latest on Rory McIlroy?

:16:13.:16:14.

Is not such a good day for him, he is out of the match play in Texas,

:16:15.:16:18.

he only played one round this week, the second of his three opponents,

:16:19.:16:24.

Gary Woodland, actually pulled out last night, which left Soren

:16:25.:16:28.

Kjeldsen, who beat McIlroy on Wednesday, needing only half a point

:16:29.:16:34.

in his match. He got a full point against Emiliano Grillo, Kjeldsen

:16:35.:16:39.

was due to play his final group match against Gary Woodland, said

:16:40.:16:43.

because he is guaranteed a win McIlroy cannot qualify. Tyrrell

:16:44.:16:50.

Hatton here holing Dani from distance. Danny Willett is also out.

:16:51.:16:55.

Just so you know, there are three games in the group stages and the

:16:56.:16:58.

top 16 go through to the knockout rounds on Saturday and Sunday.

:16:59.:17:06.

On Wednesday afternoon tiny singer was on a bus heading towards

:17:07.:17:10.

Westminster Bridge just moments before the attack that brought chaos

:17:11.:17:11.

and terror to the heart of London. The person she helped was

:17:12.:17:31.

unconscious with serious head injuries and after ambulances

:17:32.:17:33.

arrived she left the scene only later to discover the truth about

:17:34.:17:38.

what had happened. Dani joins us now in the studio. Thank you for coming

:17:39.:17:42.

in. Those are the pictures of you on the day, tell us what the first you

:17:43.:17:47.

knew, what was the first you knew of what was happening?

:17:48.:17:51.

We saw the car careering off the pavement. People saw the car

:17:52.:17:57.

knocking several people over. Somebody on the bus sheltered, if

:17:58.:18:01.

anyone had first aid training they should get off the bus and go and

:18:02.:18:05.

help. I got off straightaway and went to the first person I saw who

:18:06.:18:09.

looked like they won't being attended to. It was a man with quite

:18:10.:18:14.

significant head injury and potentially other injuries we

:18:15.:18:19.

couldn't see. At that point we didn't know that anything was going

:18:20.:18:26.

to happen. What help did you give? The other chap who was with me

:18:27.:18:30.

helping the don't and we were with was a medic. There wasn't a lot we

:18:31.:18:35.

could practically do, it was just monitoring polls and breathing and

:18:36.:18:39.

checking his airways were clear. I was just talking to him, really.

:18:40.:18:44.

You're never aware of what people are aware of themselves. I was

:18:45.:18:48.

telling him what was going on, describing when the ambulance were

:18:49.:18:52.

coming, hoping some parts of him was registering our presence and that we

:18:53.:18:57.

were there to help him. Do you know how he is? I've got no idea. As you

:18:58.:19:03.

said, you didn't know it was a terror attack. You went off when the

:19:04.:19:07.

ambulance arrived, when did you discover what had actually happened?

:19:08.:19:14.

I went to wash my hands basically. I came back to the people I was with

:19:15.:19:18.

on the bus. We had to be diverted all the way round. It was ten

:19:19.:19:21.

minutes later when I realised from what they had said that there had

:19:22.:19:26.

been gunshots fired, a police officer had been stabbed, then we

:19:27.:19:30.

realised it was probably part of the same incident and it probably was a

:19:31.:19:33.

terrorist attack of some sort. How did you feel at that point? I wanted

:19:34.:19:39.

to get away as quickly as possible. The area was so hectic with armed

:19:40.:19:45.

police and paramedics and sirens. I just wanted to get home as soon as

:19:46.:19:51.

possible really. Your image was one of the images used many times on the

:19:52.:19:55.

day. It must have been quite strange to you afterwards to realise what

:19:56.:19:59.

you had been caught up in. It was. As soon as I got home I had people

:20:00.:20:04.

contacting me. A friend in Hungary said his sister in Israel had seen

:20:05.:20:07.

the picture of me and wanted to check I was OK. I had a few people

:20:08.:20:12.

getting in touch saying they had seen that and then people phoning

:20:13.:20:16.

saying they had seen me on the news. That was really strange, to be

:20:17.:20:20.

someone's reference point or something. Something so big and of

:20:21.:20:26.

this level of magnitude. There were lots of people injured, you

:20:27.:20:28.

obviously went straight to one person and focused on helping them.

:20:29.:20:33.

Were you able to take in much of what was going on around you and how

:20:34.:20:36.

other people were reacting? Not really. We were aware of the people

:20:37.:20:41.

and the longer we stayed there the more it became apparent that further

:20:42.:20:44.

up the bridge more people have been injured. At one point I wasn't even

:20:45.:20:51.

aware of the photographs being taken, I was just looking to

:20:52.:20:57.

ambulances and any progress, really. How would you, could you describe

:20:58.:21:04.

the way people work, was it people reacting calmly in dealing with the

:21:05.:21:12.

situation? Was there chaos? I didn't feel it was chaotic. Everyone dealt

:21:13.:21:16.

with it amazingly, especially the NHS staff at St Thomas' They came

:21:17.:21:23.

running out. They are obviously very close, just on the other side of the

:21:24.:21:31.

bridge. Maybe within one or two minutes, a chap came up to me and

:21:32.:21:35.

said I'm on holiday but I'm still a doctor, what can I do? All the

:21:36.:21:39.

civilians who helped who maybe didn't have that training, they were

:21:40.:21:42.

just there to be doing whatever needed to be done. The police

:21:43.:21:49.

response was incredibly quick, also. I suppose everything went smoothly

:21:50.:21:52.

as far as the response was concerned. As a Londoner, how do you

:21:53.:22:00.

feel? I feel affected by having been there but I don't feel affected as a

:22:01.:22:04.

Londoner. You don't feel more vulnerable? No, this is the sort of

:22:05.:22:10.

thing that is in the back of our minds could happen at any time. As

:22:11.:22:15.

people are saying, London is open and we stand united. I'm certainly

:22:16.:22:19.

not going to use this as an excuse to be more afraid of the different

:22:20.:22:24.

communities who make up London. In fact, it solidified in me the fact

:22:25.:22:28.

London is a diverse multicultural city and we can celebrate that

:22:29.:22:31.

through our unity together. I'm too, Dani. Following yesterday's vigil in

:22:32.:22:40.

Trafalgar Square we will be talking a bit later about the impact on

:22:41.:22:44.

communities and different faiths coming together. Let's focus on

:22:45.:22:51.

questions being raised once again about the effectiveness of security

:22:52.:22:55.

around the Houses of Parliament. The attacker Khalid Masood was able to

:22:56.:22:58.

get past the carriage Gates at Westminster before he was shot by

:22:59.:23:02.

police. This is what Scotland Yard's Mark Rowley had to say about

:23:03.:23:04.

reviewing security. I understand why tragic events such

:23:05.:23:12.

as this generates questions about the security of Parliament. Our

:23:13.:23:16.

current arrangements have been developed with Parliament over many

:23:17.:23:20.

years, and are designed to provide access to the seat of our

:23:21.:23:24.

government, balanced carefully with security that is proportionate but

:23:25.:23:28.

not overly intrusive. Of course after an incident like this, as

:23:29.:23:32.

would be expected, my team will work with Parliamentary authorities to

:23:33.:23:35.

assess whether a different tone or a different balance is necessary. More

:23:36.:23:41.

widely across the country, the police service will sustain an

:23:42.:23:45.

enhanced armed and unarmed presence over the next few days. London and

:23:46.:23:50.

the UK are open for business, and we're out there in greater numbers

:23:51.:23:54.

to make sure the public see a high presence, to help reassure them as

:23:55.:24:01.

they go about their daily lives. In London, the number of armed officers

:24:02.:24:04.

remains at nearly double strength, whilst other parts of the UK are up

:24:05.:24:07.

to one third more officers on duty. We can now speak to Sidney Mackay,

:24:08.:24:11.

a former Chief Superintendent His daughter, also a Met Officer,

:24:12.:24:14.

was killed while on duty. His son is currently

:24:15.:24:17.

serving Met officer. Tony Long, a former

:24:18.:24:19.

police firearms officer. Anthony Glees who directs

:24:20.:24:23.

the Centre for Security and Intelligence Studies

:24:24.:24:25.

at the University of Buckingham. And Philip Ingram, a former

:24:26.:24:28.

British Army Intelligence officer who has been

:24:29.:24:30.

following the intelligence Thank you for joining us. We were

:24:31.:24:43.

hearing that armed officers patrolling London are at double

:24:44.:24:50.

strength. Tony, do you think police should be routinely armed? My

:24:51.:24:54.

personal opinion is yes. I know I'm out of sync with a lot of my former

:24:55.:24:58.

colleagues that are still serving but I think over the years, an

:24:59.:25:02.

increasing percentage are coming towards that viewpoint. I think if

:25:03.:25:06.

you have a limited resource, the chances are it's not going to be in

:25:07.:25:10.

the right place at the right time. What is your view on arming police

:25:11.:25:15.

officers? Privately I think it's inevitable that every officer will

:25:16.:25:26.

become armed. The growing incidence of incidents such as two days ago

:25:27.:25:30.

will require it. In this situation it was actually a protection officer

:25:31.:25:36.

working for the Defence Secretary who fired the bullet that stopped

:25:37.:25:42.

the attacker. What is your view, Tony, of the level of armed police

:25:43.:25:45.

that are around Westminster in particular? We don't know why it was

:25:46.:25:50.

a closed protection officer, perhaps he just happened to be the person at

:25:51.:25:54.

that moment in time that found himself closest. In my experience,

:25:55.:25:59.

normally, there are at least two uniformed armed officers in the

:26:00.:26:02.

vicinity of that gate or certainly in the vicinity of that yard. They

:26:03.:26:07.

may well have been there but this particular officer happen to be

:26:08.:26:10.

nearest. The point I would make is that this assailant, terrorist, call

:26:11.:26:16.

him what you will, made life relatively easy for the police in

:26:17.:26:20.

this incident. Having run over his victims on Westminster Bridge, he

:26:21.:26:24.

made his way to probably the most heavily armed building in London. If

:26:25.:26:29.

he had done the same at the other end of Whitehall, and driven around

:26:30.:26:32.

Trafalgar Square running people over or god forbid up into the West End,

:26:33.:26:37.

we wouldn't have had static police officers waiting for him. We would

:26:38.:26:41.

have had armed response vehicles, trying to make sense of gobbled

:26:42.:26:47.

radio messages, trying to get through gridlocked streets. They

:26:48.:26:49.

would have had to find him before they could have put his attack to a

:26:50.:26:55.

finish. That's the point I'm making, if you have a limited resource and

:26:56.:27:02.

you major firearms officers to specialist, Mr Rowley has just said

:27:03.:27:07.

that there are double the amount of armed officers on the streets,

:27:08.:27:11.

that's fine, but it's not sustainable. Those officers will be

:27:12.:27:14.

an overtime because there aren't enough of them to maintain that.

:27:15.:27:21.

With that scenario that Tony Long is outlining, a complete nightmare

:27:22.:27:24.

scenario, something that would be much harder to handle, what are your

:27:25.:27:30.

thoughts on the best way to protect people on the streets? The best way

:27:31.:27:36.

to protect people and the best way to protect Parliament is actually to

:27:37.:27:40.

protect it. What we saw two days ago was a lack of protection. I'm very

:27:41.:27:46.

disturbed by the kind of complacent attitude, I'm afraid. I know, it's

:27:47.:27:52.

been a terrible tragedy and people are traumatised by it,

:27:53.:27:57.

understandably. But the fact is, both in immediate terms and in wider

:27:58.:28:03.

terms, this was a failure of security policy. People may have

:28:04.:28:06.

seen the pictures I've just seen on Twitter a few moments ago of Mrs May

:28:07.:28:15.

being taken at great speed, in an extreme condition of chaos, Act of

:28:16.:28:19.

Parliament. This was somebody who got within 100 metres of whether

:28:20.:28:23.

Prime Minister was. If it had an explosive vest, you and I would be

:28:24.:28:27.

having a very different conversation. When Mr Rowley says,

:28:28.:28:32.

we've been planning this for a long time, it was proportionate, etc. It

:28:33.:28:37.

wasn't proportionate at all. A very brave police officer confronted a

:28:38.:28:45.

crazed Islamist attacker, without a weapon. This is lack of planning. I

:28:46.:28:50.

think we become complacent in this country. Nobody wants to see armed

:28:51.:28:56.

police, but that is the only response, particularly in

:28:57.:29:02.

Westminster. The more we know about the perpetrator, the terrorist, the

:29:03.:29:06.

more questions will be asked why this man slipped off the radar of

:29:07.:29:11.

MI5. We've got a security service, we know there are 3000 people in

:29:12.:29:15.

this country that want to do us harm, they should jolly well have

:29:16.:29:20.

their collars felt. You are shaking your head at what was being said

:29:21.:29:25.

there. I think it's been grossly unfair in misrepresenting what was

:29:26.:29:28.

going on. I was in Westminster not long after the incident happened.

:29:29.:29:32.

The police and emergency service response was phenomenally quick.

:29:33.:29:39.

There's a balance between having complete security. If you do that,

:29:40.:29:43.

everywhere is on all time, every member of the police is armed,

:29:44.:29:46.

you've got soldiers on the street and that's a totalitarian state. We

:29:47.:29:51.

are not, we are a free liberal democracy and we have to let people

:29:52.:29:54.

go about their normal lives without oppressive security oppressive

:29:55.:29:57.

security. Security starts with an outer ring of intelligence. It's

:29:58.:30:02.

very difficult when you're looking at lone wolf attacks, which this

:30:03.:30:06.

seems to have been, to pick up the intelligence that would indicate it.

:30:07.:30:10.

Especially when some of the attackers that carry out these sort

:30:11.:30:16.

of events go from zero to being crude boot recruited to jihad within

:30:17.:30:22.

48 hours. Australian police last year stopped 216-year-olds from

:30:23.:30:25.

carrying out attacks, they made an assessment that they had been

:30:26.:30:29.

recruited to jihad within 48 hours. That's virtually impossible for any

:30:30.:30:34.

security organisation to be able to keep on top. I agree with the

:30:35.:30:37.

speakers in saying that I think now is time when our police forces,

:30:38.:30:43.

certainly in our major cities and areas where there's concentrations

:30:44.:30:48.

of people, should be routinely armed.

:30:49.:30:53.

You are all of the consensus that it is time to routinely armed police...

:30:54.:30:59.

There will be an awful lot of criticism and already has been in

:31:00.:31:06.

terms of how he got as far as he did. It is worth bearing in mind

:31:07.:31:13.

that in 1979, in the middle of a concerted Irish terrorism campaign,

:31:14.:31:18.

a car bomb was detonated under a vehicle by the IRA within yards of

:31:19.:31:25.

where the officer was killed the other day going into the underground

:31:26.:31:32.

car park. But despite that between 1979 and the Twin towers going down

:31:33.:31:38.

in 2001 Parliament consistently refused to have any armed police

:31:39.:31:43.

officers within the Palace of Westminster. There is a tradition,

:31:44.:31:47.

and quite understandably so around that building, the Sergeant at Arms

:31:48.:31:56.

basically has to say yes or no to all of the security there and I

:31:57.:32:00.

guarantee if the gates were shut the first person to complain about it,

:32:01.:32:03.

probably because they would could not ride their bicycles through it,

:32:04.:32:07.

would be a member of Parliament or cabinet member, so the unarmed

:32:08.:32:10.

uniformed officers that are effectively meters and greeters and

:32:11.:32:16.

pass checkers know that community well and they are on first name

:32:17.:32:20.

terms with the MPs and everything else, and I think that that inspires

:32:21.:32:28.

a lack of security in many ways, but most people seem to be in agreement,

:32:29.:32:33.

if you are going to have officers there, this perception that because

:32:34.:32:37.

they are carrying a gun changes the way they do policing, is, I'm

:32:38.:32:43.

afraid, delusional. I carry guns over tea and covertly, I have been

:32:44.:32:46.

there and communicated with the public, given them directions and

:32:47.:32:49.

acted like an ordinary police officer as I was for the whole of my

:32:50.:32:54.

service. Having a gun on your hip does not stop... Elsewhere in the

:32:55.:32:58.

world it is almost insulting to suggest that the Dutch police or

:32:59.:33:02.

French police or Swiss police don't have community policing, that their

:33:03.:33:05.

officers are not approachable simply because they have a gun. It is a

:33:06.:33:09.

fallacy that has been allowed to perpetuate to such an extent that

:33:10.:33:13.

serving officers think that is what would happen if they had to carry a

:33:14.:33:19.

gun, and it is simply not true. Olivier having on to say, should all

:33:20.:33:23.

officers be armed, no, but more should. I'm a police officer,

:33:24.:33:27.

British police haven't recruited officers with firearms in mind, then

:33:28.:33:31.

he would not want to carry all not have the skills or aptitude, but all

:33:32.:33:34.

officers should be offered the chance to carry a weapon and if they

:33:35.:33:38.

have -- if they pass the rigorous selection and training they should

:33:39.:33:42.

carry, this occurred in the most heavily policed area in the country,

:33:43.:33:47.

if it happened in other areas it could take 45 minutes for armed

:33:48.:33:49.

police to arrive. What is your view on whether there

:33:50.:33:54.

would be an appetite for the police to be armed? I have to agree with

:33:55.:33:58.

Tony, there has been a recent poll by the Met Police Federation on

:33:59.:34:04.

firearms and Taser 's within the federation membership, and I think

:34:05.:34:07.

they were all in favour of Tasers but rejected considerably not to

:34:08.:34:19.

carry firearms. I think it is a mystique that has been built up over

:34:20.:34:23.

the years not just by police but by the public as well, the perception

:34:24.:34:27.

of the public, that we've always traditionally had a unarmed police,

:34:28.:34:32.

and this is a gold standard of some sort. I don't deny that and I

:34:33.:34:39.

recognise it, but there is a mindset for the moment not to carry firearms

:34:40.:34:43.

but I think, as I said initially, that it will be inevitable that

:34:44.:34:48.

officers will personally realise that they must go along that path.

:34:49.:34:53.

It might not be tomorrow, but I think it will be sometime in the not

:34:54.:34:59.

too distant future. It will have huge resource implications for the

:35:00.:35:03.

UK police service as a whole, both in training and getting officers to

:35:04.:35:09.

volunteer under present circumstances to carry a weapon.

:35:10.:35:13.

Thank you all very much for joining us, and if you have any more

:35:14.:35:16.

comments they are always welcome, the usual ways of getting in touch.

:35:17.:35:21.

Following yesterday's vigil in Trafalgar Square,

:35:22.:35:29.

I'll talk to religious leaders from various fates about what role

:35:30.:35:33.

religion can play in the aftermath of a terrorist attack.

:35:34.:35:35.

And we'll look at the global fight against so-called Islamic State

:35:36.:35:38.

and whether we're likely to see more terror attacks in the west.

:35:39.:35:42.

Here's Annita in the BBC Newsroom with a summary of today's news.

:35:43.:35:48.

A fourth victim who died last night after being knocked down

:35:49.:35:51.

in the Westminster attack has been named by police as 75-year-old

:35:52.:35:54.

Leslie Rhodes from Streatham, in South London.

:35:55.:35:57.

Two people remain in hospital in a critical condition.

:35:58.:36:02.

Two police officers hurt in the attack are also in hospital

:36:03.:36:04.

In a statement this morning, police investigating the attack have

:36:05.:36:12.

revealed that they've made two further significant

:36:13.:36:13.

Nine people are now in custody, one woman has been released on bail.

:36:14.:36:21.

Police have also revealed the attacker, Khalid Masood, was born

:36:22.:36:23.

The police have appealed for information from anyone

:36:24.:36:26.

Bad behaviour in English schools is not being dealt with properly

:36:27.:36:33.

and pupils' performance is being negatively effected.

:36:34.:36:35.

That's the view of the the Government's school

:36:36.:36:38.

In a review published today, he says more funding

:36:39.:36:41.

and better training are needed to tackle the issue.

:36:42.:36:43.

The report also recommends that school inspectors pay more attention

:36:44.:36:46.

to behaviour issues, and warns they are often

:36:47.:36:48.

glossed over when schools produce good results.

:36:49.:36:54.

The President of the European Commission has told the BBC

:36:55.:36:57.

that the EU will not seek to punish Britain during Brexit negotiations.

:36:58.:37:02.

Speaking on the eve of the EU's 60th anniversary celebrations,

:37:03.:37:05.

Jean-Claude Juncker said the exit talks will be approached fairly

:37:06.:37:07.

but warned that Britain will be held to financial commitments made

:37:08.:37:10.

Customers should be paid automatic compensation by their phone

:37:11.:37:15.

companies for problems with landlines and broadband.

:37:16.:37:20.

The telecoms regulator Ofcom says providers should pay

:37:21.:37:22.

customers for slow repairs, delayed connections

:37:23.:37:24.

The plans could affect more than 2.5 million customers

:37:25.:37:29.

who would receive up to ?185 million in new compensation

:37:30.:37:32.

At the moment, compensation is only paid to a small number of customers.

:37:33.:37:44.

That's a summary of the latest BBC News - more at 10am.

:37:45.:37:47.

Lewis Hamilton called his first day of the new Formula One season "99%

:37:48.:37:59.

perfect" after finishing fastest in both practice sessions

:38:00.:38:01.

He was more than half a second quicker than the rest

:38:02.:38:10.

in the second session and that, in Formula One,

:38:11.:38:20.

particularly with the new faster cars, is a lot.

:38:21.:38:22.

That lap allowed him to finish ahead of Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel

:38:23.:38:25.

and new Mercedes teammate Valteri Bottas in Melbourne.

:38:26.:38:27.

Soren Kjeldsen's win at the WGC Match Play golf sends

:38:28.:38:29.

And the world number two didn't even play after his opponent withdrew.

:38:30.:38:33.

As a result Kjeldsen needed just a half to prevent McIlroy

:38:34.:38:36.

British Swimming is conducting an investigation after multiple

:38:37.:38:39.

bullying claims were made by Paralympians about a coach.

:38:40.:38:41.

BBC Sport has learned the complainants include

:38:42.:38:43.

And David Haye has been called before boxing authorities

:38:44.:38:46.

to explain his comments in the build-up to his heavyweight

:38:47.:38:48.

Haye had graphically described the injuries that he hoped

:38:49.:38:52.

Last night a candlelit vigil was held in Trafalgar Square

:38:53.:39:24.

to remember those that lost their lives and that

:39:25.:39:31.

These are the words from London's mayor.

:39:32.:39:38.

London is a city with people from all sorts of backgrounds. When

:39:39.:39:41.

London faces diversity, we all pull together. We stand up for our

:39:42.:39:50.

values, and we show the world we are the greatest city in the world.

:39:51.:39:54.

Let's speak now to the Archdeacon of London, Luke Miller.

:39:55.:39:58.

The Rabbi Dr Jonathan Roman, who has edited a book called Terror,

:39:59.:40:03.

Trauma And Tragedy, on how communities should respond

:40:04.:40:05.

And Imam Yunus Dudhwala, who is the Head of Chaplaincy

:40:06.:40:11.

and Bereavement Services to Barts Health NHS Trust.

:40:12.:40:16.

Thank you all for coming in, Father Luke Millar, you were at the vigil,

:40:17.:40:23.

tell us what it was like. It was an extraordinary experience to have the

:40:24.:40:26.

privilege of looking across so many people who had come to show that

:40:27.:40:29.

London stands together, that we are unified in the face of this kind of

:40:30.:40:35.

attack and determined we will not be terrorised out of normal behaviour,

:40:36.:40:40.

that we shall carry on in all our extraordinary multifarious

:40:41.:40:45.

diversity. Imam Yunus Dudhwala, what is your view of faith leaders at a

:40:46.:40:49.

time like this? We have a very important role to play to try to

:40:50.:40:52.

bring communities together, especially in communities that are

:40:53.:40:58.

very diverse. We have mosques, churches, synagogues, temples, we

:40:59.:41:02.

have communities, we have people from different religious

:41:03.:41:09.

backgrounds, so it is a time for us to mind ourselves as leaders and

:41:10.:41:13.

lead from the front to make sure people understand our values are

:41:14.:41:17.

very similar, our backgrounds are similar in terms of humanity, and

:41:18.:41:22.

the need to respect each other and tolerance, but faith leaders have a

:41:23.:41:26.

very important role. What is the evidence you have seen about how

:41:27.:41:32.

people are responding? I live in London and looking at how people

:41:33.:41:36.

have been going about their normal business, the vigil that was held at

:41:37.:41:41.

Trafalgar Square last night, there were many other vigils in Tower

:41:42.:41:45.

Hamlets, Leeds, Manchester, other places as well, so I think

:41:46.:41:49.

communities realise that one person does not represent the whole

:41:50.:41:54.

community and it is about our human values. Rabbi Jonathan Roman, would

:41:55.:41:59.

you have concerns about division in the aftermath of something like

:42:00.:42:01.

this? No, the fact there are three -- the Christian, a Jew and Muslim

:42:02.:42:15.

sitting together, after the last attack, I said a prayer in Hebrew,

:42:16.:42:24.

an imam came and said a prayer in Arabic. Something like that would

:42:25.:42:28.

not have happened if there had not been an attack like that? Yes,

:42:29.:42:32.

although to be honest it was built on years and years of coming

:42:33.:42:35.

together and although, yes, we are now talking about it, actually the

:42:36.:42:39.

interfaith dialogue has been going on for decades, probably 50 or 60

:42:40.:42:44.

years, and it is that slow local individual work that has been

:42:45.:42:47.

building up which allows us to be on first name terms and know about each

:42:48.:42:54.

other's theology. The only problem about last night was a pop-up

:42:55.:42:58.

community and I think this is where religious buildings and institutions

:42:59.:43:04.

school because people do need their candlelight, their songs, their

:43:05.:43:06.

camaraderie, but what happens next week? That community in Trafalgar

:43:07.:43:10.

Square has gone but the synagogue, the mosque, the church will be open

:43:11.:43:14.

week after week so people who have the need to disperse -- to express

:43:15.:43:18.

their dismay, anger, for solidarity, they have a place to go week after

:43:19.:43:24.

week. What you talk about, the slow building of relations in communities

:43:25.:43:29.

obviously sounds absolutely ideal and like a good place to be. Luke,

:43:30.:43:36.

how do you see that actually in operation? In London I think we have

:43:37.:43:43.

a very deep sense of the work that goes on in that way locally all the

:43:44.:43:46.

time, it was one of those things that bubbles from the bottom up,

:43:47.:43:50.

people know one another because they share the same streets and shops, we

:43:51.:43:55.

work together in all sorts of places, schools and across all

:43:56.:44:03.

workplaces. We see, therefore, as Jonathan says, we see this bubbling

:44:04.:44:08.

up from the bottom all the time. I think one of the main pieces of work

:44:09.:44:11.

that we have going on is precisely this response to major attacks and

:44:12.:44:17.

other things that can happen, whether it be a flood or a fire,

:44:18.:44:21.

where the faith communities have a well worked out system for working

:44:22.:44:25.

together. What I'm hearing from all of you is a very positive message

:44:26.:44:30.

about when it goes right but clearly there are incidents of division of

:44:31.:44:35.

people who are not pulling together, and hatred being fuelled. To be

:44:36.:44:41.

honest, there are lunatics out there, not just religious lunatics

:44:42.:44:44.

but political lunatics, animal-rights lunatics, it is human

:44:45.:44:48.

nature, not religion, and by and large religion is there as a force

:44:49.:44:53.

for good. And again, thinking about what happened yesterday, there was

:44:54.:44:57.

one terrorist but hundreds of people who stopped to rescue, comfort, give

:44:58.:45:01.

medical aid, thousands upon thousands now giving money, and we

:45:02.:45:05.

underestimate that most people are good, decent, friendly. Brendan Cox

:45:06.:45:13.

make the point that just because a Yorkshireman committed a murder it

:45:14.:45:17.

does not make all Yorkshiremen murderers. On that, Yunus, how

:45:18.:45:24.

important is the language, because Theresa May said yesterday it was

:45:25.:45:27.

wrong to describe the attack as Islamic terrorism, she said it was

:45:28.:45:32.

Islamist, a perversion of the great debate. I personally think Islamist

:45:33.:45:36.

is also a perversion, because if you bring Islam into it, even as

:45:37.:45:41.

Islamist, I think that is a problem in itself. How would you describe

:45:42.:45:47.

it? For me, it is a lot to do with politics, it is a lot to do with the

:45:48.:45:51.

Middle East, it is a lot to do with power structures within the Middle

:45:52.:45:57.

East, and then the connection that the international players try to

:45:58.:46:03.

find within this community of hours to say, look, I connection with you

:46:04.:46:09.

and I is Islam, and they use is lamb as the catch. Yes, if land is used

:46:10.:46:13.

as a cat but in reality there are lots of different issues -- Islam.

:46:14.:46:22.

Are you concerned that bringing the term Islam is divisive? Yes, it is

:46:23.:46:26.

part of the problem, but not the whole problem. This individual might

:46:27.:46:29.

have been a Muslim but there are lots of issues going on. I think one

:46:30.:46:34.

of the biggest issues that we have to try to bring the communities

:46:35.:46:43.

together is the outcast routes, people live on the same streets but

:46:44.:46:46.

don't talk to each other, people go to the shops but don't talk to the

:46:47.:46:50.

person in front of them. People have taken Islam from the media or from

:46:51.:46:55.

what they see or they breed and it gives that message. I would urge

:46:56.:46:59.

people to talk to each other, Muslims talking to Christians,

:47:00.:47:03.

Christians talking to Jews. It has to happen at grassroots. I have been

:47:04.:47:07.

invited, before this incident, to speak to some rabbis next week in an

:47:08.:47:14.

mosque, and that is how it is going to happen, communities need to open

:47:15.:47:17.

their doors and we need to speak to each other. In the 60s and 70s doors

:47:18.:47:22.

were open, everyone knew each other. Today we are very individualistic

:47:23.:47:26.

and therefore people just ignore each other, they take the news all

:47:27.:47:29.

the information from the media and it can be skewed.

:47:30.:47:34.

The coming together you are talking about is very much faith -based. But

:47:35.:47:39.

not everybody out there has faith and is involved in communities like

:47:40.:47:44.

that. And actually they live in communities where people don't

:47:45.:47:47.

intersect with each other. If there's one thing that people do as

:47:48.:47:50.

a result of what happened at Westminster, it is that if you have

:47:51.:47:54.

a neighbour or someone in your street of a different race, colour,

:47:55.:47:59.

ethnic group of faith, or in the office at work, who you nod to but

:48:00.:48:03.

don't know, say, come round for a cup of tea. Do you think people

:48:04.:48:08.

would do that these days? People think, what can we do. Is a

:48:09.:48:13.

practical example. Spend 15 minutes with someone, get to know them and

:48:14.:48:17.

find out how they are different but how they worry about the same

:48:18.:48:23.

things, education, mortgage, and see the commonality underneath. Going

:48:24.:48:27.

back to your earlier point about words, I wouldn't want to describe

:48:28.:48:32.

the chap yesterday as Islamist, call him a criminal, call him a murderer,

:48:33.:48:36.

and put him on a par with all the other people who do atrocious

:48:37.:48:44.

things. Absolutely. Just going back to... Ask people why they dress

:48:45.:48:47.

differently, ask about their cultures, don't just as Schumann.

:48:48.:48:51.

Sometimes we see somebody on the street and just because it's written

:48:52.:48:58.

this person used to dress in black, or they used to dress in white

:48:59.:49:08.

robes. -- don't just assume. That brings suspicion. What if he was a

:49:09.:49:11.

gardener, what if he was a coffee shop owner? Are all copy shop owners

:49:12.:49:18.

or gardeners now guilty? Language is really important, we need to be

:49:19.:49:21.

careful with language. What are your thoughts? I think the atomisation of

:49:22.:49:27.

society are something we stand against as religious people. The

:49:28.:49:31.

message of most religions is about people coming together. Just talking

:49:32.:49:34.

to our neighbours, engaging with the person in the shop. We go to the

:49:35.:49:40.

machine, the card pins and we walk away without engaging with anybody.

:49:41.:49:45.

Finding all those opportunities, in the workplace, wherever we are

:49:46.:49:48.

during the day, how we are engaging with the people with whom we live

:49:49.:49:52.

and with whom we share our society. And finding those opportunities to

:49:53.:49:56.

reach out to them, rather than just being in an atomised world. I think

:49:57.:50:00.

the other thing is that if we are clear about what we believe and

:50:01.:50:03.

think ourselves, we more easily reach out to someone who is

:50:04.:50:09.

different. What we have tended to do in our discussion about inclusivity,

:50:10.:50:13.

is to ask for a kind of anodyne uniformity, that then sees

:50:14.:50:19.

difference as something of which to be afraid. That kind of unity isn't

:50:20.:50:26.

unity at all. It's a way of expressing atomisation and of

:50:27.:50:29.

increasing fear. Whereas if we are able in all of our wonderful

:50:30.:50:33.

difference, to express that clearly, and then from that to be able to

:50:34.:50:37.

reach out to others, it seems to me we can form a stronger and more

:50:38.:50:42.

effective society. And at the same time rescue got from the terrorists.

:50:43.:50:46.

There's no doubt religion has been hijacked by these lunatics and we

:50:47.:50:50.

can say actually... That's been going on forever. We had Protestant

:50:51.:50:56.

and Catholic terrorists and all that sort of thing. Thank you for joining

:50:57.:51:02.

us. Let us know your thoughts. We'll be talking in a few moments about

:51:03.:51:08.

how to actually tackle IS. Let's bring you some breaking news we are

:51:09.:51:13.

hearing out of Egypt. We hear the former President Hosni Mubarak has

:51:14.:51:16.

walked free for the first time in six years. He has been released from

:51:17.:51:25.

jail. There is an image of him. He is out of prison for the first time

:51:26.:51:29.

in six years. We will bring you more on that as we have it.

:51:30.:51:33.

Coming up, we look at the threat of home-grown terror,

:51:34.:51:35.

and what the government is doing to stop UK citizens

:51:36.:51:37.

We can bring you some comments on arming the police following on from

:51:38.:51:53.

the earlier conversation we had about security issues arising from

:51:54.:51:57.

the terror attack. One viewer says, I think all police should receive

:51:58.:52:00.

firearms training but I don't think they should be routinely armed.

:52:01.:52:05.

Another viewer says, people need to step back, we don't need armed

:52:06.:52:08.

police on our streets, let's not forget the attack failed. Another

:52:09.:52:14.

tweet, guns, tasered, buttons, give the police something. Another Tweet,

:52:15.:52:20.

the world is changing, the threat is changing, for the safety of police

:52:21.:52:23.

and public they all have to be armed. A tweet, armed police should

:52:24.:52:28.

have been around the gate to cover the backs of the an armed police.

:52:29.:52:36.

Imagine if the terrorist had a gun. Please keep your comments coming in.

:52:37.:52:40.

The so-called Islamic State yesterday claimed it was behind

:52:41.:52:42.

the attack in London which resulted in the death of three people

:52:43.:52:45.

Over the last 18 months IS has claimed responsibility for several

:52:46.:52:48.

atrocities in Europe, including shootings

:52:49.:52:50.

But the Islamist group has suffered heavy losses in Syria,

:52:51.:52:53.

and in Iraq is facing defeat in its last stronghold in Mosul.

:52:54.:52:56.

Does that mean future attacks in the West are less likely?

:52:57.:53:07.

Joining me now is Dr Natasha Underhill from

:53:08.:53:09.

Nottingham Trent University and Charlie Winter from

:53:10.:53:11.

the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation

:53:12.:53:13.

and Political Violence at King's College London.

:53:14.:53:16.

Thank you for joining us. IS has claimed Khalid Masood as one of its

:53:17.:53:24.

soldiers and said this is an act of IS. Natasha, what are your thoughts

:53:25.:53:28.

on whether this was effectively a lone wolf or whether, as IS claims,

:53:29.:53:35.

it had some level of involvement? I would be more inclined to assume

:53:36.:53:39.

this was a lone wolf, that this person had become almost self

:53:40.:53:43.

radicalised. What IS are actually doing is capitalising on the

:53:44.:53:46.

publicity. All terrorist organisations want a theatre and

:53:47.:53:51.

this is a global news story. Essentially they are just

:53:52.:53:54.

capitalising on the fact that this is getting their name out there,

:53:55.:53:58.

because of the losses they have been suffering, they need something to

:53:59.:54:01.

promote themselves again. This is the perfect example of that.

:54:02.:54:08.

Charlie, do you doubt that IS was directly involved? Security services

:54:09.:54:14.

look at three options whether IS could have actively directed

:54:15.:54:16.

something, enabled it or inspired it. Based on the information that we

:54:17.:54:23.

have in front of us now, based on everything that Islamic State has

:54:24.:54:26.

said over the course of the last 36 hours, there's nothing to indicate

:54:27.:54:32.

it had an instructive role in the operation. The way it's framed its

:54:33.:54:37.

messaging sense and all of its propaganda regarding everything

:54:38.:54:41.

else, the way it's talking or not talking about London, is really

:54:42.:54:45.

significant. You can read into that based on what happened in the past.

:54:46.:54:48.

All of the indication is that this was an attack it's trying to framer

:54:49.:54:54.

something it inspired rather than it directed. If it had directed it, it

:54:55.:55:00.

would be going to town on showing it did. Martyrdom videos frequently

:55:01.:55:05.

emerge, don't they? They do, there is a slim chance that Khalid Masood

:55:06.:55:10.

could have filmed himself pledging allegiance to the leader of Islamic

:55:11.:55:13.

State and sent it out and there could be a video that will show

:55:14.:55:18.

that. But until that happens, I don't think we should think about it

:55:19.:55:25.

as if it's a reality already. Worthy organisation to try and claim this

:55:26.:55:28.

operation as something it directed, the whole propaganda response would

:55:29.:55:32.

have been very different -- were the organisation to try and claim this

:55:33.:55:36.

operation. We talked about the impact on the ground on IS's

:55:37.:55:41.

capabilities, is translating to IS's power being reduced in terms of the

:55:42.:55:46.

operations that can be carried out, away from Syria and Iraqi? There's

:55:47.:55:50.

definitely a relationship between what happens in Syria and Iraq and

:55:51.:55:54.

the rest of the world. But I would be a bit cautious about drawing to

:55:55.:55:59.

linear a connection between the two. Definitely the case is that, as the

:56:00.:56:05.

Islamic State loses Mosul and its territories in Syria crumble, that's

:56:06.:56:09.

not even to mention Libya, it really does need this kind of attack, it

:56:10.:56:13.

needs to derive momentum from somewhere in order to keep its

:56:14.:56:17.

current supporters interested, to maintain a sense of legitimacy,

:56:18.:56:21.

credibility, relevance. So this kind of attack and the propaganda that

:56:22.:56:25.

follows it, the impact, is so important for Islamic State now. If

:56:26.:56:32.

we understand all of these atrocities through that lens, I

:56:33.:56:36.

think it really helps to allow us to point towards its strategic logic.

:56:37.:56:40.

How would you describe the strategic logic of IS, Natasha? And what its

:56:41.:56:47.

capabilities are? At the moment I think we are slightly over

:56:48.:56:50.

estimating the group. I think in a way we are giving them too much

:56:51.:56:53.

credit for what they can achieve. Yes, they've taken territory, yes

:56:54.:56:57.

they been able to contain and control. What we need to do is

:56:58.:57:01.

capitalise on their losses. We have to remember they are built on an

:57:02.:57:04.

ideology whether caliphate is key. They were able to establish that but

:57:05.:57:09.

now they are losing that territory again. What we need to do is make

:57:10.:57:15.

sure we aren't just challenging then militarily but also targeting that

:57:16.:57:19.

ideology. Discredit their idea of the caliphate, discredit them in

:57:20.:57:22.

terms of their successes and capitalise on that. I think we need

:57:23.:57:25.

to think clearly about countering not just the organisation itself,

:57:26.:57:30.

but also its ideology. This is the most dangerous thing for us here in

:57:31.:57:35.

the West. Charlie, a fundamental aspect of the way it operates is

:57:36.:57:39.

online. Absolutely. And through propaganda that it disseminates

:57:40.:57:42.

online. What we've seen over the last few days is a utter

:57:43.:57:46.

transformation in how it uses the inter-net. Things like Twitter,

:57:47.:57:51.

Facebook, they are still important, but it's inhospitable for Islamic

:57:52.:57:55.

State supporters. We've seen a retreat into darker parts of the

:57:56.:57:59.

inter-net which are more difficult to access, which is good in the

:58:00.:58:02.

grand scheme of things but it means in terms of getting propaganda out

:58:03.:58:06.

there it's a lot more difficult. Of course that makes it more difficult

:58:07.:58:09.

to monitor for the intelligence services because a lot of these

:58:10.:58:13.

channels are encrypted or secret and that's another level of difficulty.

:58:14.:58:19.

In the broadest terms, the fact is its propaganda is no longer as easy

:58:20.:58:23.

to access on the inter-as it once was. We have to commend everyone

:58:24.:58:28.

involved in making that situation happen. -- the inter-net. Coming up.

:58:29.:58:36.

Coming up, coping with the aftermath of a terror attack.

:58:37.:58:38.

I'll hear from some people who witnessed horrific events

:58:39.:58:40.

Good morning. Contrasting weather conditions across the UK at the

:58:41.:58:53.

moment. This is the scene for many of you, a lovely shot there. We've

:58:54.:58:58.

got blue skies overhead. It's a different story across some southern

:58:59.:59:03.

parts of England and the North of Scotland. Cloudy conditions much

:59:04.:59:08.

like this one. That's under this sheet of clouds. There are two areas

:59:09.:59:13.

of cloud, this is high cloud, the most it's sunny conditions through

:59:14.:59:19.

the central area of the UK. This cloud is producing outbreaks of rain

:59:20.:59:23.

across Somerset, Devon and Cornwall. Pretty cold in the South banks to

:59:24.:59:26.

the wind. Things will brighten up here. Rain through parts of northern

:59:27.:59:32.

Scotland this morning but something a bit brighter into the afternoon.

:59:33.:59:38.

The vast majority of the UK, it's a sunny Friday and very pleasant too

:59:39.:59:45.

with light winds. But high pressure is in charge for the central suede

:59:46.:59:49.

and where the winds are lightest, will seize on mist and fog form. --

:59:50.:59:55.

the central area where the winds are lightest. Conditions are colder than

:59:56.:00:05.

last night. We're into the weekend on a pretty chilly start. High

:00:06.:00:10.

pressure is their right across us. On the outskirts we've got breezy

:00:11.:00:14.

conditions in northern Scotland. A brighter day in the south but still

:00:15.:00:17.

pretty blustery, weather winds are lightest and for most of you, it

:00:18.:00:22.

will be a sunny day. Even sunnier across the South than today.

:00:23.:00:24.

Temperatures will lift up quite nicely. If you are along some of

:00:25.:00:36.

these eastern coasts it's a different story. Strong winds coming

:00:37.:00:44.

off a chilly North Sea. You'll still have the same strong sunshine

:00:45.:00:47.

overhead. That's because high pressure remains with us. It's there

:00:48.:00:51.

into Saturday night. Just a bit further north, the focus for some

:00:52.:00:55.

mist and fog and coldest conditions will be Scotland, Northern Ireland

:00:56.:00:58.

and northern England. Most. Mothering Sunday on a dry and sunny

:00:59.:01:02.

note. Quite chilly across eastern areas. We could get around 16 or 17

:01:03.:01:09.

Celsius. Warmest conditions perhaps in the highlands of Scotland. On

:01:10.:01:13.

Sunday, that clock change is coming and we are going to British

:01:14.:01:17.

summertime. Good news for those working the night shift, not so much

:01:18.:01:21.

for those who don't want to get up early. At least the evenings will be

:01:22.:01:22.

brighter. Hello, I'm Joanna Gosling,

:01:23.:01:27.

welcome to the show. More details emerge

:01:28.:01:30.

of the man who carried out Khalid Masood was previously known

:01:31.:01:33.

as Adrian Russell Ajao A woman who rushed to help one

:01:34.:01:45.

of the victims on Westminster bridge I was just talking to him, really,

:01:46.:01:59.

he was unconscious but you never know what people are aware of

:02:00.:02:02.

themselves so I was talking to him, telling him what was going on,

:02:03.:02:05.

describing when the ambulances were coming and hoping some part of him

:02:06.:02:09.

was registering our present and that we were there to help him.

:02:10.:02:11.

An American tourist posts a picture of murdered police

:03:16.:03:18.

street and they need armour like the Knights of old. They are here rose

and the threat of anyone, any time needs to be addressed properly.

:03:23.:03:26.

Another e-mail, the police should carry Tasers in places like

Parliament. If PC Palmer had been armed with one, he may still be

alive. An e-mail from Val, I would feel

:03:35.:03:38.

reassured seeing police armed on the streets. We have to wake up and

realise this is the world we are now living in.

Westminster. Good morning, Joanna. Westminster

:03:59.:04:01.

seems to be back to normal this morning, the roads around here open

:04:02.:04:02.

border first time since the attack. Police investigating the attack

:04:03.:04:05.

on Westminster have revealed that they've made two further

:04:06.:04:07.

"significant" arrests overnight. Nine people are now in custody,

:04:08.:04:10.

one woman has been released on bail. A fourth victim who died last night

:04:11.:04:16.

has been named by police as 75-year-old Leslie Rhodes

:04:59.:05:02.

another man has died. Whilst we await formal

identification, we believe that he is Leslie Rhodes,

:05:08.:05:09.

aged 75, from Streatham My thoughts are with his

:05:10.:05:11.

family at this time. Furthermore, two people remain

:05:12.:05:15.

in hospital in what is described as critical condition,

:05:16.:05:18.

and one person is considered to have The man responsible for the deaths

:05:19.:05:22.

was 52-year-old Khalid Masood, he was previously known

:05:23.:05:38.

as Adrian Russell Ajao. He was born in Kent and most

:05:39.:05:42.

recently lived in the West Midlands. He had a range of previous

:05:43.:05:45.

convictions including GBH, possession of offensive weapons,

:05:46.:05:47.

and public order offences. His last conviction was in 2003

:05:48.:05:49.

for possession of a knife. He was also known under a number

:05:50.:05:52.

of aliases, and he was known Police said overnight

:05:53.:05:55.

there were two significant arrests Nine people are in custody,

:05:56.:05:58.

one woman has been released on bail. Live searches are continuing. 2700

:05:59.:06:10.

items have been seized, including computer data. Police are appealing

:06:11.:06:13.

to the public for information as they try to piece together whether

:06:14.:06:17.

Masood acted alone or as part of a wider network.

:06:18.:06:21.

Anyone who knew Khalid Masood well, anyone who understands

:06:22.:06:23.

who his associates were, anyone who can provide

:06:24.:06:27.

information about the places he's recently visited.

:06:28.:06:29.

There might well be people out there who did have concerns

:06:30.:06:31.

about Masood but weren't sure or didn't feel comfortable

:06:32.:06:34.

for whatever reasons in passing that information to us.

:06:35.:06:36.

I now urge anyone with such information to call us.

:06:37.:06:41.

The attack has reverberated across the world, but it was an attack

:06:42.:06:44.

Shots show the Prime Minister being led away to safety

:06:45.:06:54.

by her security team, a scene of uncertainty.

:06:55.:06:56.

It was still unclear what had gone on outside the gates of Westminster.

:06:57.:07:02.

Last night the police, politicians and faith leaders

:07:03.:07:04.

joined thousands of people in Trafalgar Square,

:07:05.:07:07.

with the message that terrorism and fear will not prevail.

:07:08.:07:16.

A lot more detail emerging this morning about the police

:07:17.:07:19.

investigation. Let's get the latest

:07:20.:07:20.

from the Metropolitan Police Headquarters at Scotland Yard

:07:21.:07:22.

with our correspondent Yes, first we got more details about

:07:23.:07:34.

those who were injured in this attack, police now saying 50 people

:07:35.:07:38.

injured and of those being treated in hospital they said two are still

:07:39.:07:42.

considered to be in critical condition and one person considered

:07:43.:07:47.

to have life-threatening injuries. Two police officers remain in

:07:48.:07:51.

hospital with what are described as very significant injuries. Police

:07:52.:07:56.

said that those affected are from a cross-section of different ages and

:07:57.:08:01.

from at least 12 different nationalities, and we heard there in

:08:02.:08:05.

that report also new information about aliases used by the attacker,

:08:06.:08:10.

Khalid Masood. We have also heard more about the scope of this

:08:11.:08:15.

inquiries, police say it is an investigation involving hundreds of

:08:16.:08:18.

officers from across the counter terrorism network, they describe it

:08:19.:08:24.

as a very large, fast-paced investigation, focusing on Masood's

:08:25.:08:30.

possible motivation, preparation, potential associates. Police say

:08:31.:08:33.

they are determined to find out if he acted totally alone, if he was

:08:34.:08:38.

inspired by terrorist propaganda, if others had encouraged, supported or

:08:39.:08:42.

directed him. They said there have now been searches at five addresses

:08:43.:08:47.

ongoing, 16 searches concluded. They also say they have had contact with

:08:48.:08:53.

around 3500 witnesses, these are witnesses either from Westminster

:08:54.:08:56.

Bridge or the Parliamentary estate, and also an update on security,

:08:57.:09:00.

police saying there is now an enhanced armed police presence in

:09:01.:09:04.

London, they say the number of armed officers remains near double

:09:05.:09:07.

strength and in other parts of the UK up to one third more armed

:09:08.:09:11.

officers on duty. OK, Daniel, thank you very much

:09:12.:09:16.

indeed, Daniel Boettcher there for us at New Scotland Yard.

:09:17.:09:18.

Armed police have raided several properties in Birmingham

:09:19.:09:20.

Our correspondent Kathryn Stanczyszyn

:09:21.:09:22.

Two significant arrests that police have updated in the last hour,

:09:23.:09:29.

one of those was made overnight here in the West Midlands,

:09:30.:09:32.

one in the north-west, and seven of the arrests yesterday

:09:33.:09:35.

were made here in the West Midlands, too.

:09:36.:09:38.

As you say, we know the car that was used on that

:09:39.:09:42.

Westminster Bridge attack was actually hired from a rental

:09:43.:09:46.

centre around five minutes away from where I am now on Hagley Road.

:09:47.:09:51.

This was where the activity was focused first here

:09:52.:09:53.

in Birmingham on Wednesday night, a flat behind me was

:09:54.:09:56.

The activity then moved to a house about five minutes

:09:57.:10:06.

away, where it's believed that the attacker actually

:10:07.:10:08.

Neighbours shocked to recognise Khalid Masood in photographs,

:10:09.:10:14.

saying that they believed he'd been living in a house there up

:10:15.:10:16.

And the car rental centre was just a short walk from there,

:10:17.:10:23.

and BBC sources have told us that they believe he actually hired

:10:24.:10:26.

Now, this has been a huge police operation.

:10:27.:10:33.

Of course searches have spanned a big geographical area -

:10:34.:10:35.

Sussex, London, here in the West Midlands

:10:36.:10:37.

But of course the prevalence of the arrests made here

:10:38.:10:43.

in Birmingham have led people to talk about whether the city has

:10:44.:10:46.

Some of the press describing Birmingham as a terror

:10:47.:10:50.

Of course the vast majority of Muslims say this attack is not

:10:51.:10:56.

even in the same universe as their faith.

:10:57.:11:00.

And, indeed, the Birmingham Faith Leaders' Network has put out

:11:01.:11:12.

a statement saying, "We completely reject any attempt to see

:11:13.:11:14.

an opportunity to blame any particular community or faith

:11:15.:11:16.

in this city for the perverted actions of one individual."

:11:17.:11:19.

And, indeed, a special unity vigil is going to be held

:11:20.:11:23.

in Birmingham on the high street at 5pm today.

:11:24.:11:26.

That's been organised by the Muslim Engagement Network

:11:27.:11:28.

They say they want to pay tribute to the victims of this attack

:11:29.:11:32.

but also show that all communities in Birmingham are standing together.

:11:33.:11:40.

Kathryn Stanczyszyn reporting there from Birmingham.

:11:41.:11:43.

Last night, police said a 75-year-old man had died

:11:44.:11:45.

He has been named as Leslie Rhodes from Streatham in south London,

:11:46.:11:54.

taking the number of fatalities to four. More than 30 victims are being

:11:55.:11:59.

treated in various London hospitals, two people said to be critically

:12:00.:12:01.

ill. My colleague Fiona Lamdin

:12:02.:12:03.

was at King's College Hospital I'm about three miles

:12:04.:12:05.

from where the attack took place You can see the police

:12:06.:12:11.

still very much here, The very sad news that came in last

:12:12.:12:14.

night that 75-year-old Leslie Rhodes from Streatham,

:12:15.:12:18.

not far from here, died here at the hospital last night,

:12:19.:12:20.

which takes the number of victims to four who died

:12:21.:12:23.

following the attacks. So we now know Leslie Rhodes,

:12:24.:12:25.

we know PC Keith Palmer, the police officer who was protecting

:12:26.:12:28.

Parliament, who was stabbed. Aysha Frade, who was on her way

:12:29.:12:33.

to pick her two children up from school, and Kurt Cochran,

:12:34.:12:39.

the US tourist who was here celebrating his 25th

:12:40.:12:42.

wedding anniversary. Now, the hospital told us

:12:43.:12:43.

on Wednesday afternoon they brought We now know one is still in a very

:12:44.:12:46.

critical condition. Two people were allowed home

:12:47.:12:52.

yesterday, must have been a huge relief to their family,

:12:53.:12:55.

and so this morning we know there are still five victims

:12:56.:12:57.

being treated here behind me. Fiona Lamdin reporting. Here at

:12:58.:13:08.

Westminster the roads have reopened, live starting to return to normal,

:13:09.:13:12.

the tube station, Westminster Tube has reopened as well, but the police

:13:13.:13:16.

investigation gathering momentum and at the heart of it police trying to

:13:17.:13:20.

find out was this man, Khalid Masood, a lone wolf or did he have a

:13:21.:13:23.

composite? That is the latest from Westminster. -- did he have an

:13:24.:13:27.

accomplice. Here's Annita in the BBC Newsroom

:13:28.:13:28.

with a summary of today's news. The former president of Egypt, Hosni

:13:29.:13:38.

Mubarak, who was overthrown in 2011, has been released from a military

:13:39.:13:43.

hospital. He was serving six years for the treatment of protest is but

:13:44.:13:48.

he has been cleared of charges and has now left the military hospital

:13:49.:13:50.

where he was serving his sentence. Bad behaviour in English schools

:13:51.:13:52.

is not being dealt with properly and pupils' performance

:13:53.:13:55.

is being negatively effected. That's the view of

:13:56.:13:57.

the the Government's school behaviour expert,

:13:58.:13:58.

Tom Bennett. In a review published today,

:13:59.:14:02.

he says more funding and better training are needed

:14:03.:14:05.

to tackle the issue. The report also recommends that

:14:06.:14:07.

school inspectors pay more attention to behaviour issues,

:14:08.:14:09.

and warns they are often glossed over when schools

:14:10.:14:11.

produce good results. The President of the European

:14:12.:14:14.

Commission has told the BBC that the EU will not seek to punish

:14:15.:14:17.

Britain during Brexit negotiations. Speaking on the eve of the EU's 60th

we have Rizwaan Sabir, a Lecturer of Criminology

at Liverpool John Moores University, a was himself arrested

:19:32.:19:33.

under anti-terror law. Thank you for joining us. What is

:19:34.:19:47.

your perspective on whether the government is doing the right thing

:19:48.:19:53.

on trying to stop radicalisation? We are talking about somebody who was

:19:54.:19:58.

born here, not born a Muslim and at some stage in his life he became

:19:59.:20:02.

radicalised. I think the case is a good illustration of the limitations

:20:03.:20:08.

of what any government can do. Essentially, thankfully, we don't

:20:09.:20:12.

live in a totalitarian state, which means we aren't monitoring every

:20:13.:20:16.

individual. We aren't gathering intelligence on everyone and keeping

:20:17.:20:19.

it. So therefore, there is no way you can stop an individual from

:20:20.:20:23.

getting into a car and committing something like this. It's one of the

:20:24.:20:28.

prices we pay for living in a liberal democracy. Having said that,

:20:29.:20:33.

there are big debates around radicalisation that are probably

:20:34.:20:36.

pertinent to understanding how we can tackle this. And what the actual

:20:37.:20:41.

cause is, and how does an individual get involved in this. Because I

:20:42.:20:46.

think it's easy to talk about counter extremism and prevention.

:20:47.:20:51.

But really, when it comes down to the individual level, it's often

:20:52.:20:55.

very difficult to be able to treat individuals who are being

:20:56.:20:57.

radicalised, for a number of reasons. The government does have an

:20:58.:21:03.

approach to this which is the channel programme, which has reached

:21:04.:21:06.

out to several thousand individuals that have gone through this. Three

:21:07.:21:11.

quarters allegedly from Islamist backgrounds and around 25% who are

:21:12.:21:14.

considered to be far right terrorists. There is a spectrum of

:21:15.:21:19.

individuals on the programme which the government is trying to do. I

:21:20.:21:23.

think the bigger problem is civil society. Which is what we can do to

:21:24.:21:28.

tackle this. What can we do to help as a community and society to stop

:21:29.:21:35.

the process of radicalisation within different parts of our society, stop

:21:36.:21:39.

the polarisation. We chat individuals we know of and provide

:21:40.:21:43.

support. In that regard there are lots of activities that are

:21:44.:21:48.

happening, but there's a huge gap in terms of what the extremists are

:21:49.:21:52.

doing, what they are Priscilla tithing and how they are active

:21:53.:21:57.

online. If you look at Britain First, they've got it enormous

:21:58.:22:05.

following on Facebook. Our response frankly has been, let's just say,

:22:06.:22:12.

not as effective, not as impactful or resourceful. What do you think

:22:13.:22:17.

are the most effective ways of stopping someone being radicalised?

:22:18.:22:21.

We know there isn't a single profile. Khalid Masood was a

:22:22.:22:25.

52-year-old man, that has caused shock among many young people

:22:26.:22:28.

because the assumption is its young people. There is no single profile.

:22:29.:22:34.

It's really important to recognise that it's a multi pronged approach.

:22:35.:22:38.

There is no one solution. There is no one answer, there has to be a

:22:39.:22:43.

multi pronged approach and engaged with all sections of society. I

:22:44.:22:46.

believe schools have a huge role to play in terms of building

:22:47.:22:50.

resilience, teaching young people critical thinking skills so they

:22:51.:22:53.

don't buy into online propaganda that we see available online, or in

:22:54.:22:58.

communities. Faith institutions have a very important role to play in

:22:59.:23:04.

teaching theological counter narratives to extremist ideology.

:23:05.:23:11.

Khalid Masood, there were concerns around him holding extreme views. I

:23:12.:23:18.

agree that the role of civil society is really critical. We need to be

:23:19.:23:24.

engaging with the police, we need to be reporting people if we have

:23:25.:23:27.

concerns to the Anti-Terrorist Hotline. I feel there is a gap where

:23:28.:23:33.

we recognise that we need to effectively counter the speech, come

:23:34.:23:38.

to the arguments, challenge those within our society who are promoting

:23:39.:23:41.

extremist views, because we know for a fact there are. I think it's

:23:42.:23:45.

really important we don't underestimate the reality. We know

:23:46.:23:51.

that MI5 in the past have said they are monitoring 3000 violent British

:23:52.:23:55.

Islamist extremists wanting to cause harm to our country. We know that

:23:56.:23:59.

there have been hundreds who have travelled to Syria to join jihadists

:24:00.:24:02.

organisations. We know there have been around 269 people convicted for

:24:03.:24:10.

Islamist terrorism offences. There's clearly a problem. It requires a

:24:11.:24:15.

multi pronged response from all sections of society, government,

:24:16.:24:18.

police, education and civil society. Are we getting better at stopping

:24:19.:24:23.

radicalisation in this country? This has been an ongoing debate and there

:24:24.:24:28.

are programmes in place, the Prevent programme, to try to do that. I

:24:29.:24:33.

think we are improving in respect of understanding the variety of ways in

:24:34.:24:39.

which we can intervene. If you think about Prevent, it's been very

:24:40.:24:43.

difficult to actually measure that in terms of establishing clear

:24:44.:24:46.

indicators of success. They did have a national indicator that they

:24:47.:24:52.

removed because it was so difficult to actually measure the success of

:24:53.:24:56.

Prevent programmes. When you look at the work being undertaken on the

:24:57.:25:00.

ground, you can see that even across boroughs, even a few streets away

:25:01.:25:04.

from one another, Prevent can take many different forms. For example,

:25:05.:25:08.

engaging with mothers to teach them about internet safety so they can

:25:09.:25:13.

pass that on. In another street, it could be engaging with youth groups

:25:14.:25:17.

to look at identity issues. On another road, it could be engaging

:25:18.:25:20.

with the facilities that can actually host guest speakers in

:25:21.:25:25.

making sure they are aware of the hate laws and that they are aware of

:25:26.:25:28.

the speakers coming in to engage within their facilities. This is a

:25:29.:25:36.

52-year-old man and that has caused surprise, it's somebody who is older

:25:37.:25:40.

and doesn't fit the normal profiles. What are your thoughts on what has

:25:41.:25:44.

happened? It's already been mentioned that there is no

:25:45.:25:47.

straightforward profiles are individuals who engage in armed

:25:48.:25:52.

violence. Usually we associate armed and political violence with young

:25:53.:25:56.

people but this case shows there is no one rule that applies to the

:25:57.:26:00.

whole process. I think when we use terms such as radicalisation and

:26:01.:26:05.

extremism, we are extremely careful as to these terms. The reason why I

:26:06.:26:09.

say that is because the term radicalisation, which has gained so

:26:10.:26:15.

much traction, is based on a framework that doesn't actually have

:26:16.:26:20.

any evidence. When we talk about radicalisation, the official

:26:21.:26:22.

definition is the process by which an individual leaves nonviolence and

:26:23.:26:29.

becomes engaged in armed violence. There is no empirical evidence to

:26:30.:26:32.

prove the core reason individuals become involved in armed violence,

:26:33.:26:38.

which the government's Prevent strategy says is ideology, actually

:26:39.:26:42.

causes terrorism. We have to make sure that we aren't using these

:26:43.:26:46.

terms and critically. The same applies to the turn extremism. One

:26:47.:26:50.

of your guests just referred to political violence through violent

:26:51.:26:56.

extremist Islamist. These are polemical turns that don't mean

:26:57.:27:01.

anything. What they eventually do is play, according to this historic

:27:02.:27:05.

discourse, in which we, the civilised West, are at war with a

:27:06.:27:08.

barbaric opponent that cannot be brought to the table. The anyway we

:27:09.:27:12.

can defeat them is by basically excluding them. Partially one of the

:27:13.:27:18.

reasons why political violence has become, or a militarised form of

:27:19.:27:22.

activism by Muslims, has become more normalised, is because the

:27:23.:27:27.

geopolitical situation and the international structures of the

:27:28.:27:32.

world powers essentially exclude Muslims from articulating an

:27:33.:27:37.

identity that seeks to govern according to a political

:27:38.:27:40.

interpretation of their faith. I think until we recognise that these

:27:41.:27:45.

are the drivers of political violence, political factors, we can

:27:46.:27:47.

sit here and talk about radicalisation and extremism and how

:27:48.:27:52.

we can implement more bollards outside Parliament or structure our

:27:53.:27:56.

landscapes to ensure security. But the reality is, there will always be

:27:57.:28:00.

somebody who will be willing to jump into a car and pick up a knife and

:28:01.:28:05.

undertake acts of violence. I would issue a word of caution around using

:28:06.:28:09.

these terms uncritically and look at the empirical evidence, which

:28:10.:28:12.

doesn't give us a simple profile into why people become involved in

:28:13.:28:16.

political violence. Partly I would agree with some of that. There is no

:28:17.:28:22.

singular profile. There were some factual mistakes that were made in

:28:23.:28:26.

terms of the government's perspective on this. It isn't that

:28:27.:28:32.

ideology is the cause, it's multifactorial and there's a lot of

:28:33.:28:34.

literature they put out to explain that. It is one of the primary

:28:35.:28:41.

motivating factor is that they say is extremist ideology. As I was

:28:42.:28:50.

saying, they've explained there is multiple factors, ideology being one

:28:51.:28:56.

of them. In terms of being able to understand that and put it into

:28:57.:29:01.

context, if you have an individual who has very strong political

:29:02.:29:05.

grievances, somebody who has personal, psychological issues

:29:06.:29:08.

maybe. If you take this as an example, not that we know the

:29:09.:29:13.

details but Khalid Masood obviously has a violent past. He's someone who

:29:14.:29:21.

is disposition and towards violence. A lot of people obviously have

:29:22.:29:24.

strong political views and don't turn to violence. Exactly. There's a

:29:25.:29:27.

danger in what the other guest was saying which was to create the idea

:29:28.:29:31.

that just because you have strong political views, that means you are

:29:32.:29:34.

inclined towards violence. It's not true. I'm not saying that. It's a

:29:35.:29:41.

dangerous part of what you were saying, it implies that strong

:29:42.:29:43.

political views somehow lead to violence, that's not the case.

:29:44.:29:48.

That's what the government is framing its Prevent infrastructure

:29:49.:29:51.

on. I did think anybody has said that except yourself. Let's let Sara

:29:52.:30:00.

come in. I think there is a clear misunderstanding of what the

:30:01.:30:04.

government's position on radicalisation is, on Prevent. If

:30:05.:30:08.

you look at the Channel guidance, it makes it clear that there is no

:30:09.:30:12.

single profile. It lists a range of different factors. It could be

:30:13.:30:16.

bullying, peer pressure and mental health issues. The beauty of Channel

:30:17.:30:22.

and Prevent in particular if it can recognise a multitude of

:30:23.:30:24.

vulnerabilities and should be able to be flexible enough to recognise

:30:25.:30:25.

that. One of those factors could be

:30:26.:30:33.

ideology, I have come across many young people in my years as an

:30:34.:30:39.

activist and they have highlighted how their children have been

:30:40.:30:42.

radicalised and given violent extremist views. We cannot

:30:43.:30:45.

underestimate that either but I think it is important to recognise

:30:46.:30:50.

that it is not a one size fits all solution, but the fact is we have to

:30:51.:30:53.

recognise that there is a problem and on the issue of Channel I

:30:54.:30:59.

remember the former director-general in the office for counterterrorism,

:31:00.:31:03.

he gave an interesting speech where he said 70% of people who went

:31:04.:31:08.

through the Channel scheme did not need further intervention or help,

:31:09.:31:16.

showing that Channel and Prevent is working, and if there was not

:31:17.:31:21.

Channel all Prevent, what would we have in place to provide support to

:31:22.:31:25.

those people in our country who are at risk of radicalisation? At the

:31:26.:31:32.

moment, those who oppose Prevent have not offered any other strategy

:31:33.:31:40.

to help people who are prepared to carry out these acts against our

:31:41.:31:45.

country. We're out of time... Very briefly. The point about Channel and

:31:46.:31:49.

mentioning mental health, etc, these sound like legitimate points but the

:31:50.:31:54.

key point is that we are lumping the blame on the individual rather than

:31:55.:31:57.

looking at the political reality within which the individual

:31:58.:32:02.

operates, saying, this is nothing to do with us, and if you look at the

:32:03.:32:05.

history of the world it has everything to do with us. Thank you.

:32:06.:32:11.

Sorry, we are out of time, we've got lots more ground to cover on the

:32:12.:32:14.

programme, but thank you all very much.

:32:15.:32:17.

I just want to bring another comment on armed police because this is one

:32:18.:32:21.

aspect of what we have been talking about this morning, it has got lots

:32:22.:32:25.

of comments from you. Phil says, as a serving officer I would advise

:32:26.:32:29.

that most officers do not want to carry firearms for one reason and

:32:30.:32:33.

one reason alone, when we are forced to use them we get crucified by the

:32:34.:32:37.

CPS, the courts, politicians and the media. Any officer could look

:32:38.:32:42.

forward to 18 to 24 months of uncertainty, not knowing if they are

:32:43.:32:45.

going to jail or going to lose their job and pension. The officers and

:32:46.:32:49.

decisions they make in an instant under extreme pressure are judged by

:32:50.:32:53.

armchair experts who have never had to face life or death decision.

:32:54.:32:57.

Whilst I agree there must be oversight and transparency, at the

:32:58.:33:00.

moment we have a witchhunt. Thank you for that, keep them

:33:01.:33:02.

coming. Also coming up... We'll hear from some who have

:33:03.:33:05.

witnessed horrific events With the news, here's Annita

:33:06.:33:08.

in the BBC Newsroom. A fourth victim who died last night

:33:09.:33:17.

after being knocked down in the Westminster attack has been

:33:18.:33:22.

named by police as 75-year-old Leslie Rhodes from Streatham,

:33:23.:33:25.

in South London. Two people remain in hospital

:33:26.:33:27.

in a critical condition. Two police officers hurt

:33:28.:33:31.

in the attack are also in hospital In a statement this morning,

:33:32.:33:33.

police investigating the attack have revealed that they've made two

:33:34.:33:40.

further significant Nine people are now in custody,

:33:41.:33:41.

one woman has been released on bail. Police have also revealed

:33:42.:33:47.

the attacker, Khalid Masood, was previously called

:33:48.:33:58.

Adrian Russell Ajao. The police have appealed

:33:59.:34:01.

for information from anyone The former president of Egypt,

:34:02.:34:03.

Hosni Mubarak, who was overthrown after the Arab Spring uprisings

:34:04.:34:06.

of 2011, has been freed Mubarak served almost six years

:34:07.:34:08.

in detention on charges of killing protesters in the uprising that

:34:09.:34:17.

ended his 30-year rule. But earlier this month an appeals

:34:18.:34:19.

court cleared him of these charges Let's speed now to our correspondent

:34:20.:34:31.

in Cairo. Presumably his release is controversial?

:34:32.:34:36.

Definitely, it is controversial, it is disappointing, frustrating to

:34:37.:34:42.

many people who supported the Revolution one day, people who took

:34:43.:34:47.

to Tahrir Square to topple former president Mubarak, they saw him as a

:34:48.:34:51.

symbol of corruption and repression so the fact that he went back home

:34:52.:34:55.

today having breakfast with his family and friends, as his lawyer

:34:56.:35:02.

told us a short while ago, this is a matter of great frustration and

:35:03.:35:07.

disappointment to supporters of the revolution. But on the other hand

:35:08.:35:11.

there are some of the people who see Mubarak as a story of the past, they

:35:12.:35:17.

just focus on Egypt today, concerned more about the economic conditions,

:35:18.:35:22.

the political situation, so there are people who see this as

:35:23.:35:27.

frustration and disappointment, and there are others who just want to

:35:28.:35:31.

focus on what is lying ahead, and they just considered Mubarak

:35:32.:35:35.

something from the past. But still, his release today lies in sharp

:35:36.:35:41.

contradiction with having tens of thousands of political prisoners

:35:42.:35:45.

behind bars according to many local NGOs, so the fact that this man was

:35:46.:35:49.

seen as a symbol of corruption and oppression by some people is free

:35:50.:35:52.

while many political activist and political prisoners are behind bars

:35:53.:35:56.

still brings a lot of disappointment, especially to those

:35:57.:36:00.

who supported the revolution more than six years ago.

:36:01.:36:01.

Sally, thank you for that. Bad behaviour in English schools

:36:02.:36:05.

is not being dealt with properly and pupils' performance

:36:06.:36:07.

is being negatively effected. That's the view of

:36:08.:36:09.

the the Government's school behaviour expert,

:36:10.:36:11.

Tom Bennett. In a review published today,

:36:12.:36:13.

he says more funding and better training are needed

:36:14.:36:15.

to tackle the issue. The report also recommends that

:36:16.:36:18.

school inspectors pay more attention to behaviour issues,

:36:19.:36:20.

and warns they are often glossed over when schools

:36:21.:36:22.

produce good results. The President of the European

:36:23.:36:28.

Commission has told the BBC that the EU will not seek to punish

:36:29.:36:31.

Britain during Brexit negotiations. Speaking on the eve of the EU's 60th

:36:32.:36:34.

anniversary celebrations, Jean-Claude Juncker said the exit

:36:35.:36:37.

talks will be approached fairly but warned that Britain will be held

:36:38.:36:40.

to financial commitments made Customers should be paid automatic

:36:41.:36:43.

compensation by their phone companies for problems

:36:44.:36:50.

with landlines and broadband. The telecoms regulator Ofcom says

:36:51.:36:53.

providers should pay customers for slow repairs,

:36:54.:36:56.

delayed connections The plans could affect more

:36:57.:36:58.

than 2.5 million customers who would receive up to ?185 million

:36:59.:37:03.

in new compensation At the moment, compensation is only

:37:04.:37:06.

paid to a small number of customers. That's a summary of the latest

news, join me for BBC Lewis Hamilton called his first day

more on BBC News throughout the day. Last night a candlelit vigil was

:38:46.:38:47.

held in Trafalgar Square to remember those who lost their lives and were

:38:48.:38:51.

injured in the Westminster terror attack. Among thousands who attended

:38:52.:38:57.

were religious leaders from a number of faith is keen to show unity and

:38:58.:38:58.

bring communities together. People have tried to tear this city

:38:59.:39:14.

apart with acts of terror many times before. They have never succeeded,

:39:15.:39:20.

and they never will. APPLAUSE.

:39:21.:39:31.

We come together as Londoners tonight to remember those who have

:39:32.:39:36.

lost their lives and all those affected by the horrific attack

:39:37.:39:42.

yesterday. Londoners will never be cowed by terrorism will stop

:39:43.:39:44.

APPLAUSE. As London and the UK begin to come

:39:45.:40:29.

to terms with what has happened, how does the healing process start, and

:40:30.:40:30.

is it possible to move forward? Well, we can now speak to four

:40:31.:40:35.

people who have witnessed terror attacks that have happened

:40:36.:40:38.

across Europe in recent years about their experiences and how

:40:39.:40:40.

they learnt to cope with what they'd been through and deal

:40:41.:40:43.

with the aftermath. Joining us via Skype from Nice

:40:44.:40:45.

is Peter Chesley, who was almost hit by a truck in the Nice

:40:46.:40:48.

attack last summer. Sumit Gupta owns a restaurant

:40:49.:40:50.

in Brussels, he can talk to us about how he was impacted

:40:51.:40:53.

by the suicide bombings He's on the phone in Blackpool,

:40:54.:40:56.

and got caught up in the Berlin Peter, you were nearly hit by the

:40:57.:41:11.

truck in Nice, what happened to you? I was on the promenade with lots of

:41:12.:41:15.

other people after watching the fireworks in celebration, and I was

:41:16.:41:23.

with my ex-girlfriend, we were one of the luckier ones, really, because

:41:24.:41:27.

the truck mistrust by a few metres. It came between us, my girlfriend

:41:28.:41:35.

went one way, I went the other way, it just missed bus but I watched the

:41:36.:41:42.

truck the whole way because of the swirling to make sure I didn't run

:41:43.:41:47.

in front of it. I saw lots of people get hit and some people die. What

:41:48.:41:57.

impact has that had on you? Locally, the kind of person I am, it didn't

:41:58.:42:02.

have as much impact on me as maybe it has on others, and as I know it

:42:03.:42:07.

has on others. My girlfriend, ex-girlfriend, is still having

:42:08.:42:12.

treatment in terms of with a psychiatrist, but for me it was

:42:13.:42:17.

quite a quick process to kind of come to terms with it. I'm a

:42:18.:42:24.

logical, rational person, and I know, before it happened I knew it

:42:25.:42:28.

could happen, I know which could happen again, it's the kind of world

:42:29.:42:33.

we live in, so I'm kind of prepared as much as I can be for these

:42:34.:42:40.

things. And how do you do that? You say you know it could happen again,

:42:41.:42:44.

does that mean you go around in fear? No, no, I don't let these

:42:45.:42:48.

things affect my life any more than it has already. It affected me

:42:49.:42:51.

because I was there and I had to deal with the situation, look after

:42:52.:42:59.

my ex-girlfriend, and kind of process the information, but I don't

:43:00.:43:01.

let these things affect my life any more than it has to. Sumit, you own

:43:02.:43:08.

a hotel near to where the Brussels bombings happened. What was the

:43:09.:43:13.

impact on you of that attack? For us, it is like every other business

:43:14.:43:18.

because Brussels got highlighted too much, in the news and everything, a

:43:19.:43:22.

lot of people stopped coming to Brussels so it is not only me but

:43:23.:43:26.

like a lot of other small businesses they got impacted because we are in

:43:27.:43:33.

the centre of Brussels, most of the companies moved their meetings out

:43:34.:43:37.

of Brussels to other cities, so it is a bit of financial loss but for

:43:38.:43:41.

sure it is nothing as compared to the lives which people are losing,

:43:42.:43:46.

so I don't care too much about the financial losses but it is a pity,

:43:47.:43:53.

what I would say, it is a pity these things are happening still, we need

:43:54.:43:59.

to get control of it. Obviously you are putting it in context but it is

:44:00.:44:03.

your livelihood and affected by things out of your control. Indeed,

:44:04.:44:11.

we have to see the bigger picture, all these incidents affecting people

:44:12.:44:18.

like us owning some businesses and other cities, I'm sure it happened

:44:19.:44:23.

in these as well, tourism got affected -- in Nice, people stop

:44:24.:44:29.

going to these places for some time, I think it is the same in Berlin, so

:44:30.:44:32.

we just have to stick together and not let them when, that is what I

:44:33.:44:39.

will say, you know? We cannot just, how do you say, make them win by not

:44:40.:44:43.

visiting those cities or avoiding those cities, because it can happen

:44:44.:44:48.

anywhere, like the other guy was telling, I forgot his name, but it

:44:49.:44:52.

can happen any time, anywhere, you cannot just stop living. They are

:44:53.:44:59.

losses for business and everything, but for sure we will recover soon.

:45:00.:45:06.

Dave, you were caught up in the Berlin attack. Tell us the impact it

:45:07.:45:10.

had a new and actually what happened to you. I think we have now lost

:45:11.:45:15.

Dave, we will try to re-establish the connection. I think we can talk

:45:16.:45:20.

to Frederica lad who was in the stadium during the Paris attacks in

:45:21.:45:27.

November 2000 and 15. Thank you for joining us, what happened to you?

:45:28.:45:39.

Frederik, can you hear me? No, I think we've lost our connection to

:45:40.:45:48.

Frederik as well. Peter, you were both talking very resiliently about

:45:49.:45:53.

not letting things like this define your lives. What would you say to

:45:54.:45:59.

people in London who may be feeling vulnerable? Even if you aren't

:46:00.:46:02.

directly caught up in something, it can still have a big impact. I

:46:03.:46:11.

couldn't give any advice, but, like I've already said, we know these

:46:12.:46:18.

things happen, and we know that they normally happen in important cities

:46:19.:46:24.

like London, New York, Nice and the other cities as well. So we kind of

:46:25.:46:31.

have two, unfortunately we have to prepare ourselves. We should be

:46:32.:46:35.

preparing ourselves mentally to deal with this kind of situation if we

:46:36.:46:41.

can, if it happens. The more we can prepare ourselves, the more we can

:46:42.:46:48.

cope afterwards. In terms of coping afterwards, all I could say is what

:46:49.:46:56.

I'm doing, it seems to be working. By worrying about it afterwards, by

:46:57.:47:00.

fearing it afterwards, it affects our life even more. It doesn't help

:47:01.:47:08.

us, if we think like that. I know it's easier said than done. I'm not

:47:09.:47:14.

saying it's easy. I think we need to be as strong as we can and just to

:47:15.:47:19.

think that these things do happen. We have to deal with them as well as

:47:20.:47:25.

possible. Have you come up with practical solutions for you in terms

:47:26.:47:31.

of being out and about? You were caught up in a situation similar to

:47:32.:47:38.

the one in London, a car, a vehicle is deliberately driven into

:47:39.:47:42.

pedestrians. If you are out there is a fear of that happening, are their

:47:43.:47:51.

practical ideas to have in mind? I suppose, to be more vigilant. We

:47:52.:47:56.

don't want, when we leave our house, we don't want to keep looking at

:47:57.:48:02.

cars or planes or people. I think we need to try to, I've heightened my

:48:03.:48:10.

sense of vigilance a little bit. Especially when I'm on the promenade

:48:11.:48:17.

because I'm not afraid of the area, I run there, I go there, it's a

:48:18.:48:21.

beautiful place. But I'm slightly more wary now. But it's kind of,

:48:22.:48:27.

it's an indirect thing. I'm not letting my wariness affect my

:48:28.:48:31.

enjoyment of the area or what I do in life. Thank you both.

:48:32.:48:42.

Still to come, we'll be looking at the role of social media in

:48:43.:48:49.

radicalisation. I've just received more of your comments. One viewer

:48:50.:48:53.

says, as a true Muslim I totally condemn the killing of innocent

:48:54.:48:57.

people and Islam is the religion of peace. We don't allow killing of

:48:58.:49:01.

innocent people in any circumstances. I call upon all miss

:49:02.:49:04.

ins we need to stand together and take a stand that Islam against the

:49:05.:49:11.

so-called Muslims. An e-mail says, front line police should be armed,

:49:12.:49:15.

stab proof vests must be warm. Police dogs must be situated in all

:49:16.:49:21.

government buildings -- stab proof vests must be worn. Another viewer

:49:22.:49:26.

says, what is the point of a police officer standing outside Parliament

:49:27.:49:32.

if he isn't equipped to deal with the kind of threat. Khalid Masood

:49:33.:49:39.

has been proven to stay in a hotel in Brighton the night before the

:49:40.:49:42.

attack, we've been speaking to the hotel manager. The police came on

:49:43.:49:47.

Wednesday night to start their investigation. I was called at home

:49:48.:49:55.

quite late at night by the police. They asked for my advice and... They

:49:56.:50:08.

asked the staff questions, we are quite open to this. It's normal for

:50:09.:50:13.

us. Obviously we were trying to run our business at the same time.

:50:14.:50:18.

Yesterday we had police in the hotel, investigating, seeing the

:50:19.:50:23.

room, interviewing all the staff in the middle of our service. It was a

:50:24.:50:28.

bit inconvenient but we had to cooperate with them and try to help

:50:29.:50:30.

to give them all the information. Luckily, we have all the back-up for

:50:31.:50:38.

this. We have the contact, the address, the telephone number, the

:50:39.:50:44.

person's name. We have all this for the police and all the staff. Most

:50:45.:50:50.

of the staff have been interviewed by the police and given the correct

:50:51.:50:54.

information to assist them with their enquiries. Did he give his

:50:55.:50:59.

address as Birmingham? Yes. He gave the correct address and the

:51:00.:51:03.

registration card when he checked in. But later on I heard on the news

:51:04.:51:08.

that the address in Birmingham was correct. Everything he said to us

:51:09.:51:12.

was correct, his correct name and address, telephone number,

:51:13.:51:17.

everything he gave us when he checked in is correct and is the

:51:18.:51:22.

same as what was mentioned in the news later on. And the car that he

:51:23.:51:26.

checked into your car part, was that the same car that was used in the

:51:27.:51:30.

London atrocities? Yes, we haven't seen the registration in the paper

:51:31.:51:38.

yet but however, it's 90% the same car. We know it was a great car, a

:51:39.:51:48.

four by four. -- four by four. It's the same car. We request car

:51:49.:51:53.

registration numbers when people check in. The car looked the same as

:51:54.:52:06.

the one he... My colleagues saw the car and she confirmed it was the

:52:07.:52:12.

same car. We need to confirm the registration number. That's the

:52:13.:52:18.

manager of a hotel in Brighton where it has emerged Khalid Masood stayed

:52:19.:52:21.

the night before the attack in London. To bring the right

:52:22.:52:25.

up-to-date with all the latest developments, police have said

:52:26.:52:29.

they've made two more significant arrests in connection with the

:52:30.:52:34.

attack in Westminster. The suspects were held overnight in the West

:52:35.:52:38.

Midlands and the north-west. Weevils are learned this morning that the

:52:39.:52:45.

birth name of Khalid Masood was Adrian Russell Ajao. Earlier I spoke

:52:46.:52:51.

to Dani Singer who witnessed the attack on the bridge. People on the

:52:52.:52:58.

other side of the bus saw what happened. Some on uncharted, if

:52:59.:53:01.

anyone has first aid training they should get off the bus and help. I

:53:02.:53:06.

went to the first person I saw who looked like they weren't being

:53:07.:53:10.

attended to. It was a man who had quite a significant head injury and

:53:11.:53:15.

potentially other injuries we couldn't see. At that point we

:53:16.:53:18.

didn't really know that anything else was going to happen, it hadn't

:53:19.:53:23.

even happened yet. What helped did you give? The other chap who was

:53:24.:53:28.

with me helping the gentleman was a medic. There wasn't a lot we could

:53:29.:53:34.

practically do, it was just monitoring polls and breathing and

:53:35.:53:37.

checking his airways were clear. I was just talking to him, he was

:53:38.:53:43.

unconscious but you're never aware of what people are aware of

:53:44.:53:47.

themselves. So I was talking to him, describing when the ambulances were

:53:48.:53:51.

coming and hoping that some part of him was registering our presence and

:53:52.:53:54.

that we were there to help him. Do you know how he is now? I've got no

:53:55.:54:01.

idea. As he said, you didn't know it was a terror attack happening. You

:54:02.:54:06.

went off when the ambulances arrived, when did you discover what

:54:07.:54:11.

had actually happened? I went to wash my hands basically and then I

:54:12.:54:14.

came back to the people I was with on the bus. We had to be diverted

:54:15.:54:18.

all the way around. It was about ten minutes later when I realised from

:54:19.:54:23.

what they had said there had been gunshots fired and a police officer

:54:24.:54:27.

had been stabbed. Then we put two and two together and realised it was

:54:28.:54:31.

probably part of the same incident and it was probably a terrorist

:54:32.:54:34.

attack. How did you feel at that point? I wanted to get away as

:54:35.:54:39.

quickly as possible. The area was so hectic with armed police and

:54:40.:54:44.

paramedics and sirens, so I just wanted to get home as soon as

:54:45.:54:47.

possible, really. Your image has become one of the images used many

:54:48.:54:59.

times on the day. As soon as I got home I had people contacting me, a

:55:00.:55:03.

friend in Hungary contacted me because he said his sister in Israel

:55:04.:55:07.

had seen the picture of me and wanted to check I was OK. I had a

:55:08.:55:11.

few people getting in touch saying they had seen that and then people

:55:12.:55:14.

phoning saying they saw me on the knees. That was really strange, just

:55:15.:55:21.

to be part of, to be someone's reference point -- saying they saw

:55:22.:55:24.

me on the news. There were lots of injured people along the bridge, you

:55:25.:55:28.

obviously went straight to one person and focused on helping them,

:55:29.:55:32.

but were you able to take in much of what was going on around you and how

:55:33.:55:36.

other people were reacting? Not really. We were aware of the people,

:55:37.:55:40.

we could see who had been injured. The longer we stay the more apparent

:55:41.:55:43.

it was more and more people have been injured further up the bridge.

:55:44.:55:48.

At one point when the photograph was taken, I wasn't even aware of that.

:55:49.:55:54.

I was just looking to ambulances and her any progress, really. I wasn't

:55:55.:56:00.

aware of that. Could you describe the way people work? Was it people

:56:01.:56:09.

reacting calmly in dealing with the situation, was their chaos? It

:56:10.:56:14.

wasn't chaotic. Everyone dealt with it amazingly, especially the NHS

:56:15.:56:19.

staff at St Thomas who came running out, saying, what can I do? They are

:56:20.:56:23.

obviously very close, how quickly were people there? Within, it felt

:56:24.:56:29.

like seconds. Maybe it was one or two minutes. There was a chap at one

:56:30.:56:33.

point he came next to me and said, I'm on holiday but I'm a doctor,

:56:34.:56:37.

what can I do? All the civilians who helped, maybe people without the

:56:38.:56:40.

training, they were just there to be doing whatever need to be done. The

:56:41.:56:44.

police response was incredibly quick, also. I suppose everything

:56:45.:56:51.

went smoothly as far as the response was concerned. As a Londoner how do

:56:52.:56:57.

you feel now? I feel affected by having been there but I don't feel

:56:58.:57:00.

affected as a Londoner. You don't feel more vulnerable? I don't. This

:57:01.:57:06.

is the sort of thing that we keep in the back of our minds that could

:57:07.:57:12.

happen at any time. As everybody is saying, London is open and we stand

:57:13.:57:16.

united. I'm certainly not going to use this as an excuse to be more

:57:17.:57:20.

afraid of the different communities who make up London. In fact, it has

:57:21.:57:27.

solidified in me the fact London is a multicultural, diverse city and we

:57:28.:57:29.

can celebrate that through our unity, together. Dani Singer who was

:57:30.:57:35.

one of the first at the scene of the attack on Westminster Bridge.

:57:36.:57:40.

Just to remind you of the appeal police have been making for

:57:41.:57:46.

eyewitnesses to get in touch. They say, we remain keen to hear from

:57:47.:57:52.

anyone who knew Khalid Masood well, who knows his associates and can

:57:53.:57:57.

provide us with information about places he has recently visited.

:57:58.:58:00.

There may be people out there with concerns about him but didn't feel

:58:01.:58:02.

comfortable in passing those concerns on. Police are trying to

:58:03.:58:09.

piece together exactly what led to Khalid Masood being radicalised,

:58:10.:58:13.

carrying out that attack in Westminster on Wednesday with the

:58:14.:58:20.

loss of four members of the public. 75-year-old Leslie Rhodes has been

:58:21.:58:24.

named as the latest victim to have died.

:58:25.:58:25.

Discover the world's most fascinating hotels. Wow!

:58:26.:58:38.

And got behind the scenes with Giles Coren... Did it!
