:00:14. > :00:18.soldier who was killed in an attack in Woolwich yesterday. According to
:00:18. > :00:22.BBC sources, one of the suspects is Michael Adebolajo, seen here on the
:00:22. > :00:28.right. He was brought up in a devout Christian family before converting
:00:28. > :00:35.to Islam. Tributes are left at the army barracks in Woolwich as David
:00:35. > :00:42.Cameron says the UK will not have in to terrorism. We will defeat violent
:00:42. > :00:44.extremism by standing together, by backing our police and security
:00:44. > :00:51.services and above all by challenging the poisonous narrative
:00:51. > :00:53.of extremism on which this violence feeds. Properties in London and
:00:53. > :01:01.Lincolnshire are searched as police tried to determine a motive for the
:01:01. > :01:04.killing. I will be reporting live from Woolwich with the very latest
:01:04. > :01:09.on the police investigation here and on the Prime Minister's visit to
:01:09. > :01:13.Woolwich this lunchtime. The other news this lunchtime. The man accused
:01:13. > :01:17.of murdering April Jones tells the court he can't remember where he put
:01:18. > :01:20.her body. The decline in the number of
:01:20. > :01:26.district nurses is causing unnecessary suffering, says nursing
:01:26. > :01:31.leaders. The growing number of children being abused by other
:01:31. > :01:35.children. Charities warn of the risks of online pornography. Later
:01:35. > :01:39.on BBC London we will be live in Southeast London as the Prime
:01:39. > :01:49.Minister and the Mayor visit the scene of yesterday's terror attack.
:01:49. > :02:05.
:02:05. > :02:08.We will have reaction from the local the BBC News at One. It has been
:02:08. > :02:12.confirmed that the man killed in the ferocious attack in Woolwich in
:02:12. > :02:16.Southeast London yesterday was a serving soldier. He has not been
:02:16. > :02:21.named because members of his family are still being informed. The
:02:21. > :02:26.soldier was hit by a car and then hacked to death by two men carrying
:02:26. > :02:31.knives and meat cleaver is. Senior Whitehall firm -- sources have
:02:31. > :02:36.confirmed that both suspects were known to the security services. They
:02:36. > :02:39.remain under armed guard in hospital. The BBC understands that
:02:39. > :02:43.one of them is Michael Adebolajo. This morning officers raided an
:02:43. > :02:47.address in Greenwich and a property in Lincolnshire has also been
:02:47. > :02:52.searched. In the last hour, the Prime Minister said the attack had
:02:52. > :02:58.sickened us all at that the nation would remain resolute. Muslim groups
:02:58. > :03:05.have strongly condemned the murder. Ben Brown is in Woolwich for us.
:03:05. > :03:10.It is almost 24 hours in that road just down there behind me beyond the
:03:10. > :03:12.police cordoned a young British soldier was hacked to death by two
:03:12. > :03:17.suspected Islamic extremists. The police investigation continues.
:03:17. > :03:23.There have been raids this morning. There is a very meticulous forensic
:03:23. > :03:25.investigation down there at the scene. The Prime Minister is here in
:03:26. > :03:30.Woolwich this lunchtime. He has been meeting community leaders, religious
:03:30. > :03:33.leaders, the local MP at the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson. This
:03:33. > :03:38.report from our home affairs correspondent, Tom Symonds.
:03:38. > :03:43.The shock has turned to sorrow. A procession of well-wishers bearing
:03:43. > :03:48.flowers have started arriving at the scene of the murders. Flowers at the
:03:48. > :03:52.huge Woolwich Barracks near here. A massive police operation is centred
:03:52. > :03:55.on the town. This morning officers were searching the ground, inch by
:03:55. > :04:00.inch, trying to reconstruct the minutes of madness that left a
:04:00. > :04:05.British soldier dead on a British street. Trying to work out why these
:04:05. > :04:08.men acted as they did. Earlier the government's COBRA emergency
:04:08. > :04:11.committee met and the government confirmed the suspects were known to
:04:11. > :04:17.the security services. The Prime Minister said yesterday's events
:04:17. > :04:22.were not just an attack on us, but a betrayal of Islam. The people who
:04:22. > :04:27.did this were trying to divide us. They should know something like this
:04:27. > :04:34.will only bring us together and make us stronger. Today, our thoughts are
:04:34. > :04:39.with the victim and with his family. They are grieving for their loved
:04:39. > :04:43.one and we have lost a brave soldier. The London Mayor, Boris
:04:43. > :04:47.Johnson, arrived in the Woolwich midmorning. He spent time discussing
:04:47. > :04:51.the incident with senior police officers. He has described what
:04:51. > :04:55.happened here is sickening and unforgivable. The police operation
:04:55. > :04:59.is fast-moving. It appears to be focusing on family members of the
:04:59. > :05:03.attackers. This flat in Greenwich was raided early this morning.
:05:03. > :05:07.Neighbours said three unidentified women and a teenager were taken
:05:08. > :05:11.away. In this area there is real anger at the murders. Last night,
:05:11. > :05:14.Woolwich was tense. Members of the English Defence League briefly
:05:14. > :05:22.tussled with police. The town centre was flooded with officers. That
:05:22. > :05:26.continues. Across London we have an extra 1200 officers on duty on --
:05:26. > :05:30.and they are being highly visible to reassure people that leave -- life
:05:30. > :05:35.carries on as usual. My appeal is for calm. The identity of the dead
:05:35. > :05:44.soldier is expected to be revealed shortly. The MOD is still contacting
:05:44. > :05:48.members of his family. Well-wishers have described him as a fallen hero.
:05:48. > :05:54.The Prime Minister David Cameron has been here Woolwich this lunchtime.
:05:54. > :05:57.He has just been at the town hall meeting community leaders. We have
:05:57. > :06:02.seen his motorcade and we gather he has gone to work -- Woolwich
:06:02. > :06:06.Barracks in the last few minutes as well. He will also be talking to the
:06:06. > :06:10.police in command here. Let's talk to our political correspondent in
:06:10. > :06:15.Downing Street. Those remarks from the Prime Minister very much at
:06:15. > :06:20.pains to try to ease any community tensions that may have arisen as a
:06:20. > :06:24.result of this murder? Very much so. The Prime Minister here was
:06:24. > :06:28.essentially trying to deliver a keep calm and carry on message. In his
:06:28. > :06:32.statement here he said that the people who carried out this attack
:06:32. > :06:37.wanted to try to divide the country, but he believed it would only unite
:06:37. > :06:40.people. He is in Woolwich this afternoon and community cohesion is
:06:40. > :06:44.very important. He's essentially trying to ensure, along with many
:06:44. > :06:48.other leaders, that what the people behind this attack partly wanted to
:06:48. > :06:51.make happen which was to turn communities against each other, the
:06:51. > :06:57.Prime Minister is there to try to ensure it does not happen. The BBC
:06:57. > :07:02.now understands the suspects in this attack were known to MI5, the
:07:02. > :07:05.Security service. Their names did feature over recent years in various
:07:05. > :07:09.investigations. One was intercepted by the police trying to leave the
:07:09. > :07:13.country last year. The Prime Minister nodded at that. He said
:07:13. > :07:17.there would be proper scrutiny and proper questions but clearly the
:07:17. > :07:20.investigation needs to take place. The criminal investigation. There
:07:20. > :07:25.are significant questions about MI5, the Security service and the
:07:25. > :07:28.inevitable could this have been prevented? Thank you very much
:07:28. > :07:31.indeed. Woolwich very much a community in shock after what
:07:31. > :07:36.happened here on that road down there beyond the police cordoned
:07:36. > :07:41.yesterday. This is an area that is very much intertwined with the
:07:41. > :07:45.military. The barracks here, Woolwich Barracks, has been here for
:07:45. > :07:50.hundreds of years. Let's go to our correspondent Sangita Myska at the
:07:50. > :07:56.barracks. People have been coming all-day and laying flowers in
:07:56. > :08:01.tribute to the soldier who died here yesterday afternoon? Yes indeed. As
:08:01. > :08:05.you say, the barracks have a long 300 year history, a connection with
:08:05. > :08:08.this area. Plenty of local people coming here, deeply shocked by what
:08:08. > :08:14.happened yesterday. You can see some of the floral tributes that have
:08:14. > :08:18.been arriving. We still don't know the name of the soldier but plenty
:08:18. > :08:22.of the cards associated with these flowers are calling him a fallen
:08:22. > :08:26.hero. Let me read you a couple of the messages which sum up the
:08:26. > :08:34.atmosphere here today. One card reads, you were innocently taken,
:08:34. > :08:37.wrong, wrong, wrong. Another, much respect to a true hero savagely
:08:37. > :08:42.taken on our streets. Finally, an empty bed in the barracks tonight
:08:42. > :08:46.and son is gone. We love you, our unknown soldier. Earlier, I spoke to
:08:46. > :08:50.somebody who had been an army cadet here and had visited these barracks
:08:50. > :08:53.many times when she was a teenager. She broke down in tears telling me
:08:53. > :08:56.she was still in contact with soldiers who were on the inside and
:08:57. > :09:02.that people were feeling deeply moved, but from what she understood
:09:02. > :09:05.soldiers still kick -- keen to wear their uniforms outside. We are
:09:05. > :09:09.expecting the Prime Minister to arrive here shortly. Now back to
:09:10. > :09:15.you. Thank you very much indeed. Woolwich very much the scene of
:09:15. > :09:21.intense police activity still this afternoon. The friends investigation
:09:21. > :09:24.continuing at the scene of the murder -- forensic investigation. At
:09:24. > :09:29.least two separate police raids, one in Lincolnshire, one in Greenwich,
:09:29. > :09:34.where people were taken away in a police van. Now back to the studio.
:09:34. > :09:38.Ben Brown with the picture in Woolwich. Security at the military
:09:38. > :09:42.barracks across London has been tightened. The two attackers are
:09:42. > :09:46.under armed guard in hospital as the security services try to establish
:09:46. > :09:53.whether they were working alone or as part of a terrorist network. More
:09:53. > :09:57.details about that from our security correspondent, Frank Gardner.
:09:57. > :10:02.The slow, painstaking search for clues and evidence is under way at
:10:02. > :10:05.the scene of the attack in Woolwich. It has now emerged that the suspects
:10:05. > :10:10.were known to the Security service for their radical views but it is
:10:10. > :10:14.not thought they were under surveillance. This morning in
:10:14. > :10:18.Whitehall, key political security and intelligence figures arrived for
:10:18. > :10:23.a meeting with the Government's emergency committee called COBRA.
:10:23. > :10:27.The Prime Minister chaired it. Boris Johnson was among those attending.
:10:27. > :10:33.It is completely wrong to blame this killing on the religion of Islam but
:10:33. > :10:37.it is also equally wrong to try to draw any link between this murder
:10:37. > :10:42.and British foreign policy or the actions of British forces who are
:10:42. > :10:47.risking their lives abroad for the sake of -- for the sake of freedom.
:10:47. > :10:50.This is where one of the suspects has been taken, the Royal London
:10:50. > :10:54.Hospital in Whitechapel. He will likely be questioned when he
:10:54. > :10:56.recovers from being shot by the police yesterday. The lines of
:10:56. > :11:02.enquiry being followed up by investigators include worthy acting
:11:02. > :11:05.alone? Who did they meet and where did they travel to? As the people of
:11:05. > :11:09.Woolwich still come to terms with what has happened on their streets,
:11:09. > :11:13.one former British radical says the attackers understood the propaganda
:11:13. > :11:17.value of their message. Where we have failed us in popularising
:11:17. > :11:21.counter narratives to this ideology that completely disconnect somebody
:11:21. > :11:24.who quite clearly is speaking in a London accent and is willing to kill
:11:24. > :11:28.his own fellow citizens, probably for a country he has never visited,
:11:28. > :11:38.whether it is Iraq or Afghanistan and he has more affinity to citizens
:11:38. > :11:39.
:11:39. > :11:40.and a third countries on his own citizens. This is both a murder
:11:40. > :11:43.enquiry and counterterrorism investigation. It may take days,
:11:43. > :11:47.even weeks, to find all the ad -- answers.
:11:47. > :11:51.So many questions, there will be talk about the fact the suspects
:11:51. > :11:56.were known to some degree but that is also a key element, they have to
:11:56. > :12:00.establish whether they were working as part of a larger group? Yes. As I
:12:00. > :12:04.said, this is both a murder enquiry, very much fled by the
:12:04. > :12:11.police, and a full-scale counterterrorism investigation, also
:12:11. > :12:15.being led what is -- led by what is called SO15. They are very much
:12:15. > :12:19.assisted in this by MI5, the security service. It has taken 24
:12:20. > :12:25.hours for it to emerge partly from David Cameron's clips that it turns
:12:25. > :12:30.out that these were not exactly clean skins, these men were subject
:12:30. > :12:32.to a security service investigation. They probably at some stage may have
:12:32. > :12:37.been under surveillance in the past but I don't think they were under
:12:37. > :12:41.surveillance at the time. If they were, whoever was doing the job
:12:41. > :12:44.needs to be sacked because they did what they did. The indications I am
:12:44. > :12:48.getting from people in Whitehall as there is no indication that they
:12:48. > :12:53.were on the verge of doing something violent. That is always the problem.
:12:53. > :12:55.There might be hundreds of people that they are aware of who are
:12:56. > :13:00.individuals of concern, backpack -- perhaps because they have radical
:13:00. > :13:05.views, but you can't tell when somebody is going to flip over and
:13:05. > :13:09.those angry views are going to translate into violence. Many
:13:09. > :13:14.thanks, Frank Gardner. This morning, Scotland Yard issued a
:13:14. > :13:17.statement about the amount of time it took to -- took police to respond
:13:17. > :13:20.to yesterday's incident after concern was expressed by number of
:13:20. > :13:25.members of the public that it appeared to take a long time for
:13:25. > :13:29.officers to reach the scene. One MP has said he wants to raise the issue
:13:29. > :13:33.with the Home Office, saying it would be worrying if there had been
:13:33. > :13:37.an unwarranted delay. Let's get more from our home affairs correspondent,
:13:37. > :13:44.Matt Prodger. What has the Met said in response to these elements of
:13:44. > :13:48.criticism? The Met has fed within 14 minutes of the first 999 call being
:13:48. > :13:52.made to police they had firearms officers on the scene and that was
:13:52. > :13:57.ten minutes, within ten minutes, of them actually being told there was a
:13:57. > :14:01.gun at the scene, that one of the attackers had a gun. My sources tell
:14:01. > :14:08.me that is within the parameters with which the Metropolitan Police
:14:08. > :14:12.consider it to be acceptable. The unofficial aim is to have 80% of
:14:12. > :14:15.such cases dealt with within 12 minutes, in other words an 80% of
:14:15. > :14:20.cases firearms officers arrive on the scene within 12 minutes of being
:14:20. > :14:24.deployed. In this case it was ten minutes. There are at least three
:14:24. > :14:29.armed response vehicles on each side of any time but there is usually
:14:29. > :14:34.more. Most of the time there is more than a total of six covering the
:14:34. > :14:38.capital. Usually their location is intelligence led, for example by
:14:38. > :14:43.Trident, the gang crime command who would give them any kind of
:14:43. > :14:46.intelligence as to where they might be needed. A lot of the time that
:14:46. > :14:51.would not include a location such as Woolwich. Woolwich would not be high
:14:51. > :14:54.on their radar. With regards to the activities of uniformed officers on
:14:54. > :14:57.the scene, the information, the instructions they would have got
:14:57. > :15:05.would have been that as soon as it was clear that one of the attackers
:15:05. > :15:08.had a gun they would have been told not to approach the attackers.
:15:08. > :15:18.Prodger, there will be much more on this is story throughout the
:15:18. > :15:24.
:15:24. > :15:28.murdering April Jones has told Mold Crown Court he can't remember where
:15:28. > :15:32.he left her body. Mark Bridger insisted he hadn't killed April, but
:15:32. > :15:42.had caused her death by accidentally running over her in his Land Rover.
:15:42. > :15:46.He denies the charges against him. They have been several heated
:15:46. > :15:51.exchanges in the court this morning, as Mark Bridger's claimed that he
:15:51. > :15:55.simply couldn't remember what he did with April Jones's body was tested
:15:55. > :15:59.over and over again. The prosecution claimed he is a man prepared to lie
:15:59. > :16:08.and say anything in order to save himself, rather than to help find
:16:08. > :16:12.April. Scouring the countryside surrounding Machynlleth, the search
:16:12. > :16:18.for April Jones became the largest in UK police history. It lasted for
:16:18. > :16:23.nearly seven months. The man accused of April's murder says he has no
:16:23. > :16:27.recollection of what he did with her body, after he says he accidentally
:16:27. > :16:33.ran her over. In court, Mark Bridger became animated as he was quizzed
:16:33. > :16:37.about his memory of that night and how he could remember some studies
:16:37. > :16:43.that smacks specific details but not others. He answered, I have a dead
:16:43. > :16:47.child that I killed in my car. How does that affect anyone? I had pins
:16:47. > :16:54.and needles, I felt sick with fright and beer. This little girl had died.
:16:54. > :16:58.Was dead in my car. In the public gallery, April's parents listened
:16:58. > :17:02.intently as Mark Bridger was asked to explain the difference between
:17:02. > :17:06.lies and fabrication. He was asked about his memory of taking April to
:17:06. > :17:11.his cottage and what happened there. He accepted that he may have wiped
:17:11. > :17:16.away blood in the bathroom and the hallway. But he refuted that they
:17:16. > :17:21.had been a massive clean-up, any attempt to conceal traces of April.
:17:21. > :17:25.The morning after April went missing, Mark Bridger was picked out
:17:25. > :17:29.by the police helicopter. He told others he knew nothing about her
:17:29. > :17:35.disappearance. Today he accepted that had been a lie. Though he says
:17:35. > :17:39.because he wanted to find April. Mark Bridger was also challenged
:17:39. > :17:43.over the fragments of bone found in his fireplace. He told the court he
:17:43. > :17:47.used to use it to cook meals, he'd cooked a whole chicken and even a
:17:47. > :17:52.squirrel in there. He said there was no way to prove that the fragments
:17:52. > :18:02.were of a human person. He denies abduction, murder, concealing and
:18:02. > :18:03.
:18:03. > :18:08.trying to destroy traces of April's body. Our top story. According to
:18:08. > :18:11.BBC sources, one of the men alleged to have carried out the attack on a
:18:11. > :18:19.British soldier is Michael added blah Joe, seen here on the right, a

:18:54. > :18:59.throwing millions of tonnes of ash into the atmosphere and bringing air
:18:59. > :19:04.transport across Europe to a halt. Now scientists in Iceland are
:19:04. > :19:07.working on a way of predicting the next big eruption. Our correspondent
:19:07. > :19:15.has been down into the heart of a dormant volcano to find out how they
:19:15. > :19:19.are doing it. Plunging deep into a volcano. Just a few cables holding
:19:19. > :19:27.us. It's a tight squeeze at the top but then the underground vault opens
:19:27. > :19:35.to reveal a mass of colour forged by huge explosive forces. This is
:19:35. > :19:38.Iceland's volcanic laboratory. 5000 years ago, and eruption carved out

:19:41. > :19:46.can better understand what is happening at the source. But in
:19:46. > :19:53.order to better predict eruptions, they need to head up to the surface.
:19:53. > :19:57.Up above, the future team is heading out on the road. It's a group of
:19:57. > :20:00.scientists with an arsenal of volcanic sensors at their disposal.
:20:00. > :20:05.Their aim dash to give us all more warning the next time a volcano
:20:05. > :20:08.stirs. Today they are putting the finishing touches to a new gas
:20:08. > :20:14.monitor, one of a host of new sensors which will look for
:20:14. > :20:18.tell-tale signs of magma intruding through the ground beneath. The
:20:18. > :20:22.nerve centre of the operation is the Icelandic meteorological office in
:20:22. > :20:28.Reykjavik. There they scour the data coming from the monitoring network
:20:28. > :20:32.24 hours a day. Volcanoes actually scream, I'm about to erupt, before
:20:32. > :20:35.they dropped. They show many measurable signs. It's the challenge
:20:35. > :20:41.for today's volcanologists to gather that information and make use of it

:21:38. > :21:42.children were reported to the police in England and Wales as an abuser in

:23:23. > :23:26.There's also a wider issue of awareness. A recent government

:25:45. > :25:50.decade ago there were nearly 13,000 district nurses in England. Last
:25:50. > :25:55.year there were fewer than 7500. The Royal College of Nursing says the
:25:55. > :25:58.lack of NHS nurses who look after people in their homes is causing
:25:58. > :26:02.unnecessary suffering to patients and putting undue pressure on other
:26:02. > :26:11.parts of the health service. NHS England says the decline in numbers
:26:11. > :26:19.has been counted by an increase in other community staff. Meet one of
:26:19. > :26:22.the women who are friends in need of... For more than a century and a
:26:22. > :26:27.half, district nurses have been supporting people in their own
:26:27. > :26:32.homes, keeping them out of hospital. These highly qualified staff play a
:26:32. > :26:36.leading role in NHS community teams. At a time of great pressure on
:26:36. > :26:38.hospital accident and emergency units, the Royal College of Nursing
:26:38. > :26:47.says district nurses are needed now more than ever. But their numbers
:26:47. > :26:53.are falling. Official figures indicate a decade ago there were
:26:53. > :26:58.nearly 13,000 NHS district nurses in England. Last year, 7500, that's a
:26:58. > :27:02.fall of more than 40%. With this huge reduction in the numbers of
:27:02. > :27:06.district nurses, whilst at the same time the massive growth in the
:27:06. > :27:11.population and more and more people with convex conditions, I have to
:27:11. > :27:16.say, unfortunately, we really are failing people who deserve so much
:27:16. > :27:19.more. NHS England insists when you count other type of community staff
:27:19. > :27:25.such as school nurses and health visitors, the overall figure has
:27:25. > :27:29.increased. In the past when the NHS has faced spending squeeze as now,
:27:29. > :27:32.hospitals needs have always come first. But the Royal College of
