:02:22. > :02:25.terrorists. They will keep moving forward even if one of their
:02:26. > :02:30.colleagues has been shot. They would be kitted up like this only if the
:02:31. > :02:35.capital was under attack. To get to a scene quickly they travel in pairs
:02:36. > :02:38.on these bikes. We've been looking at the attack methodology of
:02:39. > :02:42.terrorists in mainland Europe in Paris and Brussels and an essential
:02:43. > :02:45.part of our tactic is to respond as fast as possible. These bikes give
:02:46. > :02:50.us the best opportunity along with an array of other tactics we have.
:02:51. > :02:54.From today the first of 600 more armed officers will be patrolling
:02:55. > :02:59.London. The Met police won't say exactly how many. The threat level
:03:00. > :03:03.in the UK remains at severe, which means that an attack is highly
:03:04. > :03:07.likely. It's been like this for two years and hasn't changed. This is a
:03:08. > :03:11.reasonable response. This is not giving every police officer in
:03:12. > :03:17.Britain a gun, not even everybody on the net a gun, this is increasing to
:03:18. > :03:21.some extent, still less than 10% of our whole workforce will have a
:03:22. > :03:25.firearm. This is one of the innovations, vehicle checkpoints
:03:26. > :03:29.with armed officers in support. They will be set up in different places
:03:30. > :03:33.on different days. So these are the sort of measures
:03:34. > :03:36.that will now be seen in place around the capital. The Met hopes
:03:37. > :03:41.that they will reassure rather than alarm the public. I feel more
:03:42. > :03:46.protected with police with guns than just walking with their hands in
:03:47. > :03:49.their pocket, see what I mean? I guess, save and I think it might be
:03:50. > :03:53.a little unsettling because it's something we are not used to seeing.
:03:54. > :03:58.Sad, but that's the world we live in, isn't it? The latest European
:03:59. > :04:01.attack was the murder of a priest in his church in Rouen. He was killed
:04:02. > :04:06.with a knife in what the intelligence agencies term a
:04:07. > :04:10.low-tech attack. It illustrated the terrorist range of tactics and how
:04:11. > :04:16.their targets might not be in the centre of a major city. In all,
:04:17. > :04:20.there will eventually be more than 1500 extra firearms officers in
:04:21. > :04:24.Britain but the bulk of these will be in the big cities and there is
:04:25. > :04:27.concern that smaller forces are being ignored. It could happen
:04:28. > :04:31.anywhere, whether it be at a military base, a small market town
:04:32. > :04:35.or major city. We've got to make sure that as an emergency service
:04:36. > :04:38.the police service has the resilience and resources where it's
:04:39. > :04:42.going to be needed when it happens. I'm not convinced we are there yet.

:05:00. > :05:06.This is the first time we will see this kind of police in this kind of
:05:07. > :05:10.numbers. And it's a risk as we saw in the report. When we see those
:05:11. > :05:14.kind of officers, with helmets, tooled up, armed on our streets,
:05:15. > :05:18.will people feel reassured or alarmed? The dividing line for

:05:23. > :05:25.of terrorist incidents we have seen so tragically in other European
:05:26. > :05:29.cities recently that without frightening people. The terrorist
:05:30. > :05:34.threat level is severe, but hasn't changed in a couple of years. There
:05:35. > :05:37.will be more armed cops, but police in London and beyond, they remain
:05:38. > :05:42.overwhelmingly unarmed and extreme force must be an option. But the
:05:43. > :05:46.principle of what we call police on by consent remains. Officers need to
:05:47. > :05:50.be trusted, they need to be seen as approachable and friendly, that is
:05:51. > :05:53.our way and that is why Scotland Yard is encouraging people, if you
:05:54. > :05:57.see some of these guys, go and say hello, they want the public to greet
:05:58. > :06:01.them. The public want the police to be able to respond to an act of
:06:02. > :06:03.terrorism but don't want the bobby on the beat to look like Robocop.

:09:35. > :09:40.had not heard any announcement or anything, it was a big noise. The
:09:41. > :09:49.smoke was coming inside and they asked us to evacuate so we escape
:09:50. > :09:57.through the emergency exits. So we were jumping down. All of the people
:09:58. > :10:03.were shouting, the children and women, people were shouting and
:10:04. > :10:11.crying. This is what it looked like from another aircraft sitting
:10:12. > :10:19.nearby. I turned and we saw this plane on its side, the wing coming

:22:47. > :22:53.quarter of an hour was a long time for Steven Woolfe. He said the
:22:54. > :22:56.computer said no when he tried to submit his application. The
:22:57. > :23:00.executive committee has said he cannot stand to be leader because
:23:01. > :23:07.the application was late. He was seen as the frontrunner, but it is
:23:08. > :23:10.not exactly a good few months for a little front runners, just ask Boris
:23:11. > :23:14.Johnson. Amongst those who have resigned from the committee, there
:23:15. > :23:19.is a sense of anger, they say there is escalating megalomania and
:23:20. > :23:23.cronyism in the party. So now, an assembly of the unknown tried to
:23:24. > :23:28.replace one of the most recognisable faces in British politics, and
:23:29. > :23:37.whoever wins faces a huge task and a huge question. Given that the we are
:23:38. > :23:42.leaving the EU, what now is the point of Ukip?
:23:43. > :23:45.Now, if you have a fear of heights, this is not for you.
:23:46. > :23:46.It's a glass walkway along a cliff in China called the Coiling Dragon.
:23:47. > :23:48.Those brave enough to try it get a clear view
:23:49. > :23:51.through the glass beneath their feet of the kilometre-and-a-half drop
:23:52. > :23:55.down the side of Tianmen mountain in Hunan Province.
:23:56. > :23:55.The 100-metre walkway has 99 turns around the side
:23:56. > :24:02.A woman from Monmouthshire who flew to America to have a tumour removed
:24:03. > :24:07.has landed her family with more than ?61 million, all
:24:08. > :24:14.Her surgery went so well that she rang her daughter back home
:24:15. > :24:16.and insisted that she buy a lottery ticket for the family.
:24:17. > :24:19.It's a good job her daughter did what she was told,
:24:20. > :24:29.This report contains some flash photography.
:24:30. > :24:32.For the Davies family, life really can't get any better.
:24:33. > :24:36.They won ?61 million in the Euro lottery in the same week that mum
:24:37. > :24:39.Sonia found out that life-saving surgery on a tumour had
:24:40. > :24:44.I just felt I had cheated death, I felt so lucky.
:24:45. > :24:49.I was on a roll, I thought, "I will buy a lottery ticket."
:24:50. > :24:57.I did not for a moment think we would win, but you feel so lucky,
:24:58. > :25:10.It is tears of joy now for Stephanie, but it had taken
:25:11. > :25:13.a long phone call from Mum to convince her to go out
:25:14. > :25:16.She finally relented, and what a result.
:25:17. > :25:18.We ran around the house, locked the doors and
:25:19. > :25:19.windows, as if there was somebody watching us!
:25:20. > :25:23.And then we were, "Well, what if the ticket disappears?"
:25:24. > :25:31.So we took a few selfies with the ticket, to prove
:25:32. > :25:42.I said I would buy an electric toothbrush because I have never
:25:43. > :25:49.The family have decided to split the winnings equally,
:25:50. > :25:53.which gets them just over ?12 million each.
:25:54. > :25:56.All because that mum managed to get her daughter to listen
:25:57. > :26:03.Mum has been cured, we can move forward and enjoy life.
:26:04. > :26:08.The lottery on top of it is an added bonus.
:26:09. > :26:13.The lesson is always listen to your mum?
:26:14. > :26:18.The family now say they will sit back and let the good news sink
:26:19. > :26:28.in before deciding how to invest their winnings.
:26:29. > :26:40.The weather is always a lottery. The Western Highlands yesterday, you
:26:41. > :26:47.were the winners, but today the losers. It has been wet and windy at
:26:48. > :26:52.times. Some of the showers in tents, with thunder mixed in. Unseasonably
:26:53. > :27:01.windy, with the strongest wind on exposed coasts across North Wales.
:27:02. > :27:08.Further south, a different story. It has been warm with the wind, and
:27:09. > :27:12.lovely sunshine. You see the best of the weather today. What is going on?
:27:13. > :27:17.This low pressure to the north-west is circulating around these isobars.
:27:18. > :27:26.The low pressure is yet to clear and it will bring some intense showers
:27:27. > :27:36.over the next few hours, especially across the far north of Scotland.
:27:37. > :27:43.The wind is gusty across the Scottish Borders, Northern Ireland
:27:44. > :27:52.and close towards the Lake District. The wind will start to ease at the
:27:53. > :27:57.low-pressure drifts away. It will push eastwards, off into the North
:27:58. > :28:06.Sea overnight. It will allow the showers to move further south into
:28:07. > :28:14.the North of England, the North Midlands and perhaps North Wales as
:28:15. > :28:18.well. It stays mild through the night. We start tomorrow on a
