Police investigating the London terror attack have made

three more arrests following raids involving armed

Five people remain in custody in connection with Saturday's attack.

Distressing CCTV images have emerged showing the moment armed police

gunned down the three killers responsible for the deaths

Other separate footage shows all three men together,

The final moments of Saturday's attack, these images show and

injured victim on the pavement. Police raise their weapons as three

men wielding knives reveal themselves. Seconds later, all three

have been shot down. The fate of the injured victim is not clear. This

footage has emerged too, the three killers laughing and joking outside

in east London fitness Centre five days before the attack. Police are

slowly building the profile of who they were, who they knew and

crucially who may have helped them. The investigation so far has focused

on one particular stretch of east London. In Guildford last night

there were three more arrests. Counterterrorism officers stopped

two men on the street and stopped another at a house nearby. They say

two of the men aged 27 and 29 were held on suspicion of preparing acts

of terrorism. One man said he had seen armed police involved. I opened

the door and looked out and there was about ten armed officers

outside, all with balaclavas. At that point you see they are wearing

balaclavas and have quite large weapons, they are not your army

issue guns. All eight people killed on Saturday night have now been

formally identified. Today an officer who was injured trying to

intervene spoke of that night and asked to remain anonymous. He wrote

on Twitter today: The area around London Bridge still hasn't returned

to normal. Cordons are in place and

well-wishers are coming with flowers to leave on street corners. People

are trying to get back to business but this attack has left its mark on

London. Barriers and concrete dividers have been installed on

several of London's bridges. The attackers may be dead but the threat

from the violent extremism they represented remains just as real.

All the people murdered in saturday night's attack in London have

Family and friends of the victims have been paying tribute

to the eight people who were in the wrong place -

at the wrong time - when the terrorists struck.

29 people are still being treated in hospital -

This man was one of eight people thought to have been killed on

Saturday night. They came from five different countries. Chief Constable

Debbie Simpson leads the team of specialist officers whose job it is

to identify victims. We would either ask a dentist to have a look at the

body and compare those with dental records, fingerprints or DNA, and

DNA can be collected from family members or better still from

toothbrushes or from the shaving implement that has been used by the

person that we believe we need to identify. Identification can take

time. Prolonging the anguish for families waiting for news of missed

love ones. Especially when criminal acts are involved, we not only need

to identify accurately, but we need to collect evidence and that

evidence could be on clothing, could be on bodies, and so therefore it

needs to be a process that is of a particular standard that will

withstand scrutiny, but also ensure that we haven't made a mistake in

identity because that would cause further trauma. The casualty bureau

set up by the police took 3500 calls in the wake of the attack on

Saturday. It took until yesterday afternoon for the police to be sure

that they knew the identities of all those who died and that there was no

one still missing. Sarah Campbell, BBC News.

One of the attackers who drove a vehicle into pedestrians -

before stabbing others near London Bridge -

had viewed the videos of a radical American preacher.

That's what one of the suspect's friends told the BBC.

That radical preacher is from the town of Dearborn in Michigan,

where our correspondent, Aleem Maqbool, tried

To please the enemies of Allah and the enemies of mankind.

Ahmad Musa Jibril, an American, but one of the most popular online

voices among Brits who go to fight with so-called Islamic State.

He calls for Jihad and preaches separation of Muslims

Hours ago, masses of the ummah, our ummah,

were joining with the kafir in the New Year celebration.

A former friend of London attacker Khuram Butt says

it was Jibril's videos that helped to radicalise him.

The preacher himself is a free man, living in Michigan.

Well, we have been trying to speak with Jibril

about his preaching but for now, at least, he's a pretty

His neighbours, though, have told us they thought

he was nice and friendly and said they had no idea he

produced such videos. But the FBI did know.

It tried for years to put away Jibril but never managed to find

He is very smart, as many of these folks are.

They know there is a line they can go up to and not to cross that line.

But talking generally about killing people,

making Jews orphans, that is not enough?

Unfortunately, in this country it is not.

Ahmad Musa Jibril has been a nuisance to Muslims

He will come and say things to imams sometimes, that you are out,

separated from your vision, this is not the way,

Even imams in the area say they have called for action against him.

Freedom of speech stops at speech but when you have

someone act upon it, this is crossing the line.

Do you think there are others, even in this community,

There are many of them, many of them.

Here, stopping those who are not quite caught crossing from preaching

hate to actively supporting militants is tough.

Even if they potentially inspire violent acts.

But that is not just a problem for this community and certainly not

US TV networks are clearing their schedules as the former head

of the FBI, James Comey, testifies before Congress.

There was a time when President Trump had nothing

but praise for James Comey, but a firm grip in January turned

The President sacked the FBI director, reportedly

He's a showboat, he's a grandstander.

You know that, I know that, everybody knows that.

Most people know the President's version of events, now James Comey

will go public before the Senate with his.

Just like his testimony in March, it all comes back to Russia.

The FBI, as part of our counterintelligence mission,

is investigating the Russian government's efforts to interfere

And that includes investigating the nature of any links

between individuals associated with the Trump campaign

On the eve of his appearance before the Senate, James Comey released

He said the President isn't being investigated by the FBI

as part of the Russia inquiry, confirming statements made

I said, "If it's possible, would you let me know

He said, "You are not under investigation."

But James Comey did say that over a private dinner in January

he was asked by the President for his unwavering support.

"I need loyalty, I expect loyalty," he said the President told him.

But how far did the President expect that loyalty to go?

Mr Comey says he was asked to drop the investigation into ties

Rajini Vaidyanathan, BBC News, Washington.

Our correspondent Laura Bicker is in Washington for us.

The consequences of what James Comey says in the next few hours could be

huge. The question that dominated Washington politics for months is

did Donald Trump try to stop the investigation into alleged Russian

meddling in the US presidential election and alleged collusion with

the Trump campaign? James Comeywritten testimony, which we

have already seen, his account is breathtaking in its flavour of the

awkward and uncomfortable moments that he had with the president. And

it's clear from his account is that the president was frustrated at his

inability with the FBI director to get him to say what he wanted him to

say. But does it say that Donald Trump broke the law? Does it say

Donald Trump The sun is high in the sky, so solar

power has been humming. Ever since electrical devices came into our

homes, your kettle, your toaster, your washing machine, have been

powered by electrons created by burning gas, or burning coal, but

now we've reached a turning point. A cup of tea may nowadays be solar

powered. You may have wind powered toast. Which is something to chew

on. Offshore wind contributed 10% of the UK's power on Tuesday.

Remarkable for a new, whose costs have been plunging far faster than

expected. At nuclear into the mix and low carbon sources yesterday

were producing a staggering 72 the scent of UK power. It shows what a

big player renewable energy is. 25% of power last year, 50% yesterday,

and who knows how much more we can do moving forward. Renewable energy

isn't a fad anymore. It's a backbone technology of our power system. The

boom in renewables is not without problems. There's so much wind power

sometimes that wholesale prices are falling to record levels, which is

disruptive for conventional power generators. It's an issue the UK

will have to overcome. All major political parties are committed to

low carbon energy to cut pollution and to tackle climate change. Roger

Harrabin, BBC News. New video emerges of the three

London terrorists - filmed outside a gym days

before the attack. Coming up - the one place

where you never want to be the star attraction -

we visit the Museum of Failure. Coming up in sport: Diego Costa's

exit from Chelsea looks more likely. After scoring 20 goals on the way

to the Premier League title, Costa claims manager Antonio Conte

has told him he can leave. Fossils discovered on a hillside

in Morocco are causing scientists Up until now, the first humans

of our species - Homo sapiens - were thought to have evolved almost

200,000 years ago in East Africa. New research, published

in the journal Nature, suggests our ancestors are actually

100,000 years older than previously thought -

and they were very like us. Our science correspondent,

Pallab Ghosh, has been to Paris to see casts of the fossils that

many are saying will rewrite our The face of one of the very

first of our kind. And more casts of bone fragments

of the earliest known homo sapiens. The discovery of these fossils

were presented at a news They've completely

changed the theory of how The common wisdom that there

is probably some sort of Garden of Eden in sub-Saharan Africa,

200,000 years ago, with humans very similar to us

emerged rather rapidly. But what the works in Djebili have

shown is that we have to push back in time much further the age

of origin of our species. Human remains in Ethiopia,

Kenya and Tanzania suggested that East Africa was the cradle

from which our species first But the discovery of

300,000-year-old human fossils in Morocco suggests that modern

humans began to emerge much earlier. Stone tools found across

the continent suggest that homo sapiens were all over Africa

at the time. This is a skull of the earliest

known human of our species, You can see that their faces

are practically the same, apart from the slightly

pronounced brow ridge. The earliest human has

a slightly smaller brain. Scans of the skull published

in the journal Nature suggest that our brains and other features

evolved gradually, over hundreds of thousands of years,

rather than our species emerging It took longer to make homo sapiens

in evolutionary terms, in genetic terms, in behavioural

terms than we'd have thought. And probably the

process was complex. Different parts of Africa

were probably involved. At times Morocco could have been

important and at other times it may have been East Africa or southern

Africa. There was no single place

where homo sapiens became us. The search is now on for more

fossils of our species in other parts of Africa that may

be even older. The history of humanity

has now been rewritten. The fight to drive the Taliban out

of Afghanistan cost the lives of hundreds of British soldiers -

many killed fighting in Helmand But two years ago -

shortly after the troops came home - the Taliban took back

many of the areas British The BBC's Auliya Atrafi has gained

rare access to Musa Qala, the main city in the region -

and sent this report. We're heading for Musa Qala,

our Taliban minder is with us. The bustling market

looks like any other, We leave the market and head

for the local high school. It's religious studies and only

boys get an education. Our Taliban minder insists

there are other lessons and that girls can go to school,

just not here. The Taliban used

to burn schools down. Now, they are running them,

funded by the central government. It is not just schools

that the Taliban are running. This is the local hospital,

it is also funded by There is no female doctor

or a child specialist, you can't even have a chest

X-Ray here. The next day we meet

the Taliban's spokesman. They remain a deeply controversial

organisation in Afghanistan, They claim their approach

to governance has changed. TRANSLATION: We want friendly

relations with the world. We don't want Afghanistan to be

the cause of any problems The Taliban proved very effective

in terms of fighting, now they have captured territories

in Helmand and now they have to govern them and that is the next

challenge for them. How much they will join the modern

world and how much they will reject. Perfume made by

motorcycle mechanics. They're all examples

of corporate creativity But a new museum in Sweden thinks

we should celebrate failure - They've brought together

a collection of products that were brilliantly conceived -

but flopped fast. Our correspondent, Richard Galpin,

has been to the museum The doors of the world's

first Museum of Failure being opened here in the Swedish

city of Helsingborg. It's the brainchild

of this man, Samuel West. He's a psychologist on a mission

to show people here and around the world that failure should be

celebrated - because it's part of the process leading

to successful innovation. And amongst those studying

the weird and wonderful things on display here,

there seems to be genuine enthusiasm What's your impression

of what you've seen? The focus of failure,

which we normally try to hide under a carpet or sweep under a carpet,

to actually expose the failures as the only way to true innovation

I think is fantastic. Before the opening party I was given

an exclusive tour of this unique museum by its director,

Samuel West. It's obviously a lot of exhibits

here, about 70 in total? That's Google Glass, isn't it,

and that was a bad failure. A bad failure because

they didn't take privacy Quite a big miss, isn't it,

and loads more here. $300 million they invested

in a luxury burger So what success have you had

in persuading companies to reveal their failures and hand

over exhibits some of their It really drives home the point how

sensitive of an issue failure is and how to what extent

we are willing to go As for my favourite exhibit

here - that was easy. Now incredibly this was marketed

as a beauty mask, and as you can see inside there's a whole load

of electrodes with gel on them. If you put them on your face

you get electric shocks, which apparently make you more

beautiful, but I can tell you, But the hope is that

with the opening of this museum, failure will be seen

in a very different light. Richard Galpin, BBC

News in Helsingborg. The Scottish Episcopal Church

will hold an historic vote later on whether to allow gay couples

to marry in church. If the vote is passed,

it will become the first Anglican Church in the UK

to allow same-sex marriage. Our social affairs correspondent

Michael Buchanan is in Edinburgh. Can you hear me, Michael Buchanan?

Yes, the vote will start in about an hour's time also. There's an

expectation that it will passed. There was an initial vote last year

and that was passed quite handsomely. Today, there was a

requirement that supporters of the change get a two thirds majority in

all three sections of the Synod stock that's the clergy, the bishops

and lay members as well. Over the past year or so there's been a

slight change in the composition of the Synod, but there's an

expectation this measure will be passed. What that will mean is not

just that gay members of the Episcopal church here in Scotland

can get married in church if it passes, it also means gay members of

the Church of England, for instance, will be able to come to Scotland and

get married in church as well. Traditionalists will be unhappy if

this measure is passed and they say they will appoint a Bishop to look

after the particular needs and spiritual requirements of those

people who think gay marriage should not be a part of the Episcopal

Church. Michael Buchanan, sorry about the delay. I've just earned my

place in that museum! Scotland face England

at Hampden Park on Saturday in their bid to qualify

for their first And to prepare for the clash

with the old enemy, they've been - where else but a boot camp -

as Andy Swiss reports. Hampden Park, a picture of training

tranquillity, but not for much longer, as Scotland try to turn back

the clock and ramp up the volume. A goal! It's some 32 years since the

famous Hampden raw celebrated a win over England, but one of the stars

of that team is now in charge of this and hoping once again to give

the fans plenty to shout about. This is a huge game, an exciting game, a

game everybody is looking forward to. A lot of people in good form, we

must use their enthusiasm, and use the enthusiasm of the crowd.

Everybody wants us to win, that's for sure. The Scotland players know

this is a game with so much riding on it. Defeat and their hopes of

reaching the World Cup will be hanging by a thread. So can the

Tartan Army inspire them to something special? They may need it

against an England side who are top of the group and have their own

special motivation. Last weekend Harry Kane and co-swapped their

football kit for combat fatigues and a training exercise in Devon with

the Royal Marines. Definitely a situation I've never been in before,

putting up my own tent and sleeping in a sleeping bag in the middle of

the forest. It's not something I'm particularly used to but some of it

was physically tough, but most of it was about mental strength and that

was the thing that I took a lot from and I think the rest of the lads did

too. So football's oldest rivalry remains as keen as ever. At Hampden

Park Museum Scotland fans can remember the good times against

England including when they beat the then world champions 1967 full stop

it was a second goal. Exactly 50 years on from that famous win

they'll be hoping to prove the glory days are not just a thing of the

past. Andy Swiss, BBC News, Glasgow. This soggy Dougie has been sat

outside a polling station. There's a lot of cloud around and outbreaks of

rain. The cloud and rain are pushing northwards and eastwards across many

parts of the country. We're not all seeing the rain this afternoon. Dry

in the far south-east and some brighter skies across the far north

of Scotland. As we had through the afternoon there will be some showers

around. The showers could be quite heavy at times. In a line from the

south-west of England, the Bristol Channel, up towards the Midlands and

Lincolnshire. To the south-east of that we could get spots of light

rain across London and the region over the next few hours, but a lot

of dry weather in the afternoon. A few sunny spells and scattered

showers across northern England and Wales. For Northern Ireland the rain

could be heavy at times. Quite a lot of lying surface water, spray on the

roads, and across Scotland wet weather working northwards. The

Northern Isles should stay dry for a good part of the day. Into the

evening, the rain becomes persistent across the North West of Scotland

will. Elsewhere across the country clearer skies. Some showers across

western parts of England and Wales. Temperatures overnight about 11-13

for most of us. Tomorrow is the day of sunshine and showers. Initially

through the morning most of the showers will be in the West. Through

the day they will drift eastwards. We will keep more persistent rain

for the far north of Scotland. It should ease away later in the day.

Sunny spells, temperatures warmer than today, up to about 22 Celsius,

but there could be the odd heavy shower particularly in the east in

the afternoon, perhaps the rumble of thunder. Into the weekend, the next

area of low pressure works in from the Atlantic. Some quite tight

isobars. During Saturday we're likely to seize and wet weather

across northern and western parts of the country. There could be some

rain as England take on Scotland in the World Cup qualifier. Likely to

remain dry in the south-east, 22-23 here. Not a bad day. Sunday is the

dry day in many parts of the country. Winds easing. Still quite

breezy in the north-west with some showers but you are less likely to

see the showers further south and east. There could be the odd heavy

one around, 23 or so. If you're looking to the weekend, Saturday is

quite a breezy day. Some rain in the north and west. Sunday is a mix of

blustery rain and showers. A reminder of our main

story this lunchtime. New video emerges of the London

attackers filmed outside a gym days before the attack. There's more from

9:55pm tonight on the election. It's goodbye from me. We joined
