Tonight at Six - the Westminster attacker was British-born and known | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
He's been named as 52-year-old Khalid Masood. | :00:08. | :00:14. | |
So-called Islamic State claim he was one of its soldiers. | :00:15. | :00:19. | |
Overnight there were raids in Birmingham and London - | :00:20. | :00:21. | |
This is what it was like in parliament as the attack unfolded, | :00:22. | :00:33. | |
but in the Commons today, there was defiance. | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
We are not afraid, and our resolve will never waver | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
The attacker and at least three others were killed yesterday. | :00:41. | :00:53. | |
Tributes have been paid to the victims. | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
PC Keith Palmer died defending parliament. | :00:58. | :00:58. | |
A former soldier tried to save his life. | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
When I see the guy enter the gate, with two knives | :01:03. | :01:08. | |
American Kurt Cochran was celebrating | :01:09. | :01:14. | |
Aysha Frade - a teacher - was on her way to pick up her children. | :01:15. | :01:21. | |
And I'm in Trafalgar Square tonight, where thousands | :01:22. | :01:23. | |
It is about to get under way to remember the victims of yesterday's | :01:24. | :01:33. | |
attack. And coming up on BBC news we will | :01:34. | :01:41. | |
have continuing coverage of the investigation and the stories of | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
those killed and injured in the terror attack in Westminster. | :01:46. | :02:03. | |
The man who carried out the Westminster terror attack | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
yesterday has been named as 52-year-old Khalid Masood. | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
The terror group so-called Islamic State claimed responsibility - | :02:12. | :02:13. | |
describing him as one of its soldiers. | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
Overnight there were raids in Birmingham, | :02:20. | :02:21. | |
Eight people have been arrested as police try to find out | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
It's now been confirmed that at least four people died - | :02:27. | :02:32. | |
including the extremist - and 40 were injured. | :02:33. | :02:34. | |
Eight of them are in critical condition. | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
Tonight we'll bring you the latest pictures as the attack unfolded | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
and hear the stories of the victims, but first, the investigation. | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
Here's our special correspondent Lucy Manning in Birmingham. | :02:48. | :02:55. | |
Yesterday we saw his face as paramedics were fighting to save his | :02:56. | :03:02. | |
life, even as he had taken the lives of others. Today, we now know his | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
name, and Khalid Masood was known to the police and MI5. He was on the | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
radar. But there was no information he was planning an attack, showing | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
just how difficult it is for the authorities to stop this sort of | :03:20. | :03:20. | |
terror attack. With a car and a knife he brought | :03:21. | :03:30. | |
terror to Parliament. He is Khalid Masood, a British-born attack are | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
known to the police with a 20 year criminal record, although not for | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
terrorism. The 52-year-old responsible for the murder of a | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
policeman, a mother on her way to collect her children and a tourist. | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
Cali Masood was born in Kent, and was most recently living in the West | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
Midlands. He had a range of previous convictions including GBH, | :03:54. | :04:08. | |
possession of offensive weapons and public order offences -- Khalid | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
Masood. His last conviction was in 2003 for the possession of a knife. | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
He was known by a number of aliases and he was known to the security | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
services. What I can confirm is that he was British-born and some years | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
ago he was investigated by MI5. He was a peripheral figure. The case | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
was historic. He was not part of the current intelligence picture. There | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
was no prior intelligence of his intent or the plot. Intensive | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
investigations continue. Just metres from where the Prime Minister spoke, | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
on their knees, police slowly, meticulously searching for evidence, | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
on the same ground where one of their own laid just yesterday. | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
Determined to find out everything they can about the man who murdered | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
PC Keith Palmer in the shadow of Big Ben, and ran over those just walking | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
on Westminster Bridge. Not just routine police work, this time it is | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
personal. Across the country overnight, police on interaction. A | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
flat in the Winson Green area of Birmingham was raided. Neighbours | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
said they thought Masood lived there recently. Also in Birmingham, in the | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
Ladywood area, filmed by neighbours, heavily armed officers searched | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
another flat. Locals said it was like a scene from the film. Like a | :05:25. | :05:32. | |
war. Down the streets. It is something you see only in movies and | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
I saw it behind my windows on the street. It was very frightening. It | :05:37. | :05:44. | |
was like, what the hell is happening here? As well as the searches in | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
Birmingham, police also raided homes and made arrests in the forest gate | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
area of east London. In Wales, Surrey and Sussex, a total of eight | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
people have been arrested in six separate locations. It is now known | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
the car he had turned into a weapon was a rental car he had hired in | :06:06. | :06:12. | |
Birmingham at the Spring Hill branch of Enterprise cars. There has been | :06:13. | :06:14. | |
intense police activity here all day in Birmingham. With the attacker | :06:15. | :06:31. | |
dead, the focus is on his friends and family. Whether they knew about | :06:32. | :06:33. | |
his motivations, his intentions, whether he had any help with the | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
attack on parliament. It is still our belief that this attacker acted | :06:37. | :06:38. | |
alone and was inspired by international terrorism. To be | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
explicit at this stage, we have no specific information about further | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
threats to the public. So-called Islamic State, without providing any | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
evidence, claimed the attacker was, as they described him, one of their | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
soldiers. The police are now trucking Masood's movements, the man | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
who got into a car and drove terror into the heart of Westminster. | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
Our Home Affairs Correspondent Daniel Sandford | :07:05. | :07:05. | |
Daniel, as I was coming into the studio, I was being told about these | :07:06. | :07:17. | |
raids and in Carmarthenshire as well? Yes, we have a full picture | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
now of the raids which have taken place across the country since the | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
attack yesterday. One in Carmarthenshire. We have three in | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
Birmingham now, one in East London and raids that have been concluded | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
in Brighton and south-east London. That gives you an idea of the scale | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
of the operation of what has been going on, as people look at Khalid | :07:39. | :07:53. | |
Masood's associates and round them up. One of those who has been | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
arrested, I understand, is his partner, a 39-year-old woman | :07:58. | :07:59. | |
arrested in east London. That is then trying to build up the picture. | :08:00. | :08:01. | |
We had a suspect shot dead yesterday by an armed officer and because of | :08:02. | :08:03. | |
that there has been an automatic referral to the Independent Police | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
Complaints Commission said they have started their investigation. No | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
police officer is under suspicion, what they need to do is investigate | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
the circumstances of the incident, because whenever a police officer | :08:15. | :08:21. | |
shoots Sandy dead, that becomes an automatic IPCC investigation -- | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
shoot somebody dead. They understand this was a serious terrorist | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
incident and something they need to take into account in their | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
investigation. Thank you. PC Keith Palmer's job | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
was to defend parliament - and he lost his life | :08:39. | :08:40. | |
doing just that. A father, a husband and a policeman | :08:41. | :08:42. | |
with 15 years' service. Today the Prime Minister paid | :08:43. | :08:44. | |
tribute to him, saying, "he was every inch a hero and his | :08:45. | :08:46. | |
actions will never be forgotten". Our Home Editor Mark Easton reflects | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
on his life - and his death. Honouring a fallen comrade. At | :08:50. | :09:05. | |
9:33am this morning, a minute's silence for PC Keith Palmer. 48 | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
years old, a husband and a father, who went to work but never came | :09:12. | :09:22. | |
home. Boxing instructor and former soldier Tony Davies saw the knife | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
attack as he left a function at the Houses of Parliament yesterday | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
afternoon, and immediately ran to Keith Palmer's aid. He brandished | :09:30. | :09:36. | |
two knives, attacking one of the policemen. That is the decision I | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
took to then leaked defence and try and give assistance in any way I | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
could. You ran towards the violence? Most people were running away. Yes, | :09:47. | :09:52. | |
but it was a split-second decision and people needed assistance. Tony | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
Davies was once in the same army regiment as Lee Rigby, the Fusiliers | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
stabbed to death in a terrorist attack in 2013. He remembers how no | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
one went to his colleague's aid that day and thinks that is part of the | :10:07. | :10:12. | |
reason why he ran towards danger to help PC Palmer. I was the first | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
person to approach Keith and I noticed the head wound and I am | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
shouting, medic, get an ambulance. The biggest wound was in his rib | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
cage. He was bleeding profusely. I tried to stem the blood flow with my | :10:29. | :10:34. | |
rain jacket. I checked his pulse, to make sure he was breathing. He was | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
still conscious. I said, come on, Keith, stay with us, son, stay with | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
us. We did all we could. I'm sure the professionals who were there did | :10:45. | :10:51. | |
all they could. He is being called a hero, they are saying he should be | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
given a medal for what he did. How do you feel about the man you tried | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
to save? He was just a normal guy. Well, not a normal guy, he was | :11:01. | :11:06. | |
protecting and sort of being an adviser on one of our most historic | :11:07. | :11:12. | |
assets of this great nation and he is expecting to do his normal daily | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
shift and go home to have his tea with his family. A lot of people | :11:19. | :11:25. | |
would regard what you did yesterday is quite extraordinary, heroic. | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
Please, I don't want anyone to feel that. I feel for Keith's family. One | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
of the core values of the Army is selfless commitment. Maybe I showed | :11:36. | :11:44. | |
a bit of that yesterday but just... It was frustrating more than | :11:45. | :11:46. | |
anything that Keith did not pull through. Sorry about that. | :11:47. | :11:59. | |
Police Constable Keith Palmer symbolises the selfless public | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
service and sacrifice vital to a civilised society. He was an armed, | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
guarding the epicentres of our democracy and epitomising the | :12:09. | :12:11. | |
delicate balance between our security and our liberty. | :12:12. | :12:18. | |
The Prime Minister has visited some of the victims | :12:19. | :12:20. | |
We know that, apart from PC Palmer and the attacker, | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
at least two other people were killed yesterday. | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
Aysha Frade lived in London with her two young daughters and husband. | :12:29. | :12:32. | |
An American Kurt Cochrane was with his wife | :12:33. | :12:34. | |
About 40 people from 11 different countries | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
Sarah Campbell reports now on the victims. | :12:39. | :12:48. | |
A mother on the school run, mown down in broad daylight. Aysha Frade | :12:49. | :12:58. | |
was 43 years old and leaves behind a husband and two young daughters. | :12:59. | :13:01. | |
Friends and neighbours have been paying tribute to her. She was just | :13:02. | :13:07. | |
a lovely person with two lovely children. Two lovely, lovely girls. | :13:08. | :13:17. | |
How are these children? They have lost their mother. You leave your | :13:18. | :13:19. | |
kids, go to school to pick them up and then this happens. She worked at | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
a college near Westminster Bridge and was on her way to pick up her | :13:23. | :13:28. | |
children when the attack happened. She was a lovely person. Helpful, | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
supportive, smiling, always willing to help out with whatever the | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
challenges and demands teaching staff might have at any given time. | :13:38. | :13:45. | |
Her mother was Spanish and today she was remembered by people in Spain. | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
Her family are understood to be travelling to Britain. In London, | :13:51. | :13:56. | |
celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary, Melissa and Kurt | :13:57. | :13:59. | |
Cochran from the United States. They were due to fly home today but | :14:00. | :14:05. | |
instead Kurt was killed and Melissa was seriously injured. The people | :14:06. | :14:11. | |
who were injured came from 11 different countries including the | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
United States, China, France and Germany. They were taken from | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
Westminster to hospitals across London, including here at Kings | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
College. Undergoing treatment for a fractured leg is 19-year-old Travis | :14:24. | :14:28. | |
Frain. He was with fellow students on a field trip to Parliament when | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
he was hit head-on by the car. He was pictured as emergency crews | :14:33. | :14:38. | |
stretchered him away from the scene. Waiting for news inside the locked | :14:39. | :14:41. | |
down parliament building was his tutor. She told me today that Travis | :14:42. | :14:47. | |
is doing well. He has been checking his Facebook. Lots of other messages | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
from other students wanting to know how he is. Clearly, he is not well | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
but he is dealing with it and he is staying as cheerful as he can. | :14:57. | :15:03. | |
Another school trip caught up in the chaos. Two children from this school | :15:04. | :15:09. | |
in Brittany suffered serious fractures. The French Foreign | :15:10. | :15:12. | |
Minister travelled to visit them. It is a new tragedy, and I wanted to | :15:13. | :15:23. | |
stop into London to visit and show solidarity with the British people. | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
Romanian officials say a woman understood to be Andrea Christer who | :15:29. | :15:36. | |
fell into the Thames has undergone surgery to deal with the blood | :15:37. | :15:45. | |
caught on her brain. Her boyfriend had a broken foot. This attack was | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
in London, but the effects are felt across the world. | :15:50. | :15:51. | |
Many of the injured were taken to King's College Hospital - | :15:52. | :15:54. | |
Our correspondent Helena Lee is outside there for us this evening. | :15:55. | :16:01. | |
Several patients still in a critical condition. Can you give us an | :16:02. | :16:08. | |
update? That's right, this is one of the five hospitals treating the | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
injured, and there has been a huge police presence here, both inside | :16:13. | :16:16. | |
and out of the hospital. At least 40 people were injured in the attacks | :16:17. | :16:20. | |
yesterday, 29 of those have been treated in hospital, three of them | :16:21. | :16:25. | |
police officers. Tonight, seven remain in a critical condition in | :16:26. | :16:28. | |
hospital, but throughout the afternoon, some of the patients have | :16:29. | :16:32. | |
been well enough to go home. Here at Kings College, two patients have | :16:33. | :16:38. | |
been discharged, and at Chelsea and Westminster, where they admitted 13 | :16:39. | :16:43. | |
patients, they have told us that they discharged eight early on. Some | :16:44. | :16:47. | |
of the injuries we have heard range from fractures to head injuries to | :16:48. | :16:52. | |
some patients needing more complex surgery, and as well as medical | :16:53. | :16:56. | |
care, these patients will also be getting a lot of support as well as | :16:57. | :16:59. | |
they try and process tonight what happened to them yesterday. Helena, | :17:00. | :17:02. | |
thank you very much. Amber Rudd, the Home Secretary, | :17:03. | :17:07. | |
has told the BBC that it would be wrong to see yesterday's attack | :17:08. | :17:10. | |
as an intelligence failure. She's been speaking | :17:11. | :17:12. | |
as members of Parliament went back to work today - | :17:13. | :17:14. | |
itself a simple act of defiance. The Prime Minister said, | :17:15. | :17:17. | |
"We will never waver Our political editor | :17:18. | :17:19. | |
Laura Kuennsberg reports on how MPs have reacted to a terror attack | :17:20. | :17:22. | |
that was aimed at the home Today people are grappling with a | :17:23. | :17:57. | |
changed world. A morning run, the commute to work, but flimsy tape | :17:58. | :18:05. | |
tethering the area around our Parliament. The home of our | :18:06. | :18:14. | |
democracy, a crime scene. With a huge investigation under way, | :18:15. | :18:18. | |
Cabinet ministers, two, searching for answers. We will see what more | :18:19. | :18:26. | |
can be done to forestall this kind of lone wolf attack, if it was a low | :18:27. | :18:30. | |
balls. This was not just another day. -- if it was a lone wolf. But | :18:31. | :18:39. | |
Parliament was determined its traditions would carry on | :18:40. | :18:44. | |
unhindered. The speaker's daily procession, arcane as ever. MPs | :18:45. | :18:51. | |
cramming in where they had been locked down for hours yesterday. Yet | :18:52. | :18:58. | |
first, to show respect with silence. In and outside Westminster. In | :18:59. | :19:11. | |
Edinburgh. Even at the United Nations. Yesterday's panic passed. | :19:12. | :19:20. | |
But the danger, the confusion, the loss of life, fresh in every mind. | :19:21. | :19:28. | |
The Prime Minister resolute. Beyond these walls today, in scenes | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
repeated in towns and cities across the country, millions of people are | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
going about their days and getting on with their lives. The streets are | :19:39. | :19:42. | |
as busy as ever, the office is full, the coffin shops and cafes bustling. | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
As I speak, millions will be boarding trains and aeroplanes to | :19:48. | :19:50. | |
travel to London and to see for themselves the greatest city on | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
earth. It is in these actions, millions of acts of normality, but | :19:55. | :20:01. | |
we find the best response to terrorism, a response that denies | :20:02. | :20:04. | |
our enemies their victory, that refuses to let them win, that shows | :20:05. | :20:11. | |
we will never give in. MPs queue to speak to mark the sacrifice of PC | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
Palmer, killed trying to stop Khalid Masood getting in. Listening, the MP | :20:16. | :20:21. | |
who tried from minutes to keep him alive, as one of his friends, now a | :20:22. | :20:25. | |
member of this place, told his story. He was a strong official | :20:26. | :20:34. | |
public servant, and it was a delight to meet him here again only a few | :20:35. | :20:42. | |
months after being elected. Argument normally fills the air here, today | :20:43. | :20:49. | |
rivals together. It behoves us all not to rush to judgment but to wait | :20:50. | :20:54. | |
for the police to establish the facts, to state united in our | :20:55. | :20:58. | |
communities and not allow fear or the voices of hatred to divide or | :20:59. | :21:07. | |
cower us. No terrorist outrage, no terrorist outrage is representative | :21:08. | :21:12. | |
of any faith or any faith community, and we recommit ourselves to | :21:13. | :21:15. | |
strengthening the bonds of tolerance and understanding. But outside, more | :21:16. | :21:21. | |
strident voices. The Muslim community itself have got to root | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
out this cancer, stand up and be counted, and ensure that if they do | :21:27. | :21:29. | |
know people who are radicalised, they report them to the police. But | :21:30. | :21:33. | |
in her first interview since the attack, the Home Secretary urged | :21:34. | :21:36. | |
caution before pointed the finger of blame. Of course there will be | :21:37. | :21:41. | |
Google who try to sow discord, but what I'm so far as community leaders | :21:42. | :21:46. | |
and people coming forward trying to head that off immediately by saying, | :21:47. | :21:57. | |
we will not be bound by this,. MI5 did know this man decided that | :21:58. | :22:01. | |
tracking, that looks like failure. That would be the wrong judgment to | :22:02. | :22:05. | |
make. I'm confident that as we get more information, and I can't be | :22:06. | :22:09. | |
drawn further at the moment, that we will learn more and take comfort | :22:10. | :22:12. | |
from the information that we have other work that intelligence | :22:13. | :22:14. | |
services do. Venney didn't work in this case. You are right, one got | :22:15. | :22:21. | |
through, there may be lessons to be learned, but I want people to know | :22:22. | :22:24. | |
that we don't just have a programme which stops people, we have a | :22:25. | :22:27. | |
programme that enters into communities much earlier on to | :22:28. | :22:30. | |
safeguard people from becoming radicalised. For all its usual | :22:31. | :22:35. | |
conflicts, here today there is almost a strange sense of calm. In | :22:36. | :22:40. | |
the main, politicians with one thought, to be here, to turn up, to | :22:41. | :22:47. | |
do their jobs. But as the reality of exactly what happened yesterday | :22:48. | :22:50. | |
begins to emerge, there is creeping in a deep unease. We understand it | :22:51. | :23:01. | |
was one of the Defence Secretary's bodyguards who shot and stopped | :23:02. | :23:03. | |
Khalid Masood, not Parliament's routine police. Many wonder what | :23:04. | :23:05. | |
more could have gone wrong. Yet for any Government combining freedom and | :23:06. | :23:09. | |
safety is perhaps the hardest of balances to get right. And of course | :23:10. | :23:16. | |
it is only in the full this of time that we will know precisely what | :23:17. | :23:19. | |
happened here yesterday, but the Home Secretary was adamant that she | :23:20. | :23:25. | |
rejected the idea that this had been in any way a failure of intelligence | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
services and security. She also suggested to me that in 2017 we may | :23:31. | :23:35. | |
have to accept, to use her phrase, that there are a lot of bad people | :23:36. | :23:42. | |
out there. But she was firm that despite the shocking events of | :23:43. | :23:45. | |
yesterday, the Government will not be tempted into any kind of knee | :23:46. | :23:50. | |
jerk reaction, despite the scale and seriousness of what has happened | :23:51. | :23:53. | |
here, which has had such shock waves around the world, right now, there | :23:54. | :23:57. | |
is no sign that the Government is going to change tack or be forced | :23:58. | :24:02. | |
into any major change of direction. Laura, thank you. | :24:03. | :24:06. | |
In other news, the funeral of the former IRA commander | :24:07. | :24:09. | |
and Northern Ireland Deputy First Minister, Martin McGuinness, | :24:10. | :24:11. | |
has taken place in Londonderry this afternoon. | :24:12. | :24:12. | |
His coffin was carried through the streets and thousands | :24:13. | :24:14. | |
The former US president Bill Clinton was there. | :24:15. | :24:20. | |
So, too, was Arlene Foster, the Democratic Unionist Party leader. | :24:21. | :24:24. | |
He'd been suffering from a rare heart condition. | :24:25. | :24:28. | |
Our Ireland correspondent Chris Buckler reports. | :24:29. | :24:37. | |
This is a place that makes a point of remembering. Through the large | :24:38. | :24:48. | |
crowds, Martin McGuinness' body was carried, past the paintings that | :24:49. | :24:51. | |
detailed the divisive history that he lived through, through Bogside. | :24:52. | :24:59. | |
It was also a time of violence for which some will hold him and partly | :25:00. | :25:03. | |
responsible. The attendance of Presidents, Irish prime ministers, | :25:04. | :25:08. | |
was testament to the years he spent building peace. | :25:09. | :25:12. | |
And the applause for the Unionist leader Arlene Foster, a sign of how, | :25:13. | :25:19. | |
despite all the many disagreements that still exist, Northern Ireland | :25:20. | :25:21. | |
really has changed. I in the course of years have had | :25:22. | :25:38. | |
many conversations with Martin, and he knew only too well how many | :25:39. | :25:41. | |
people struggled with his IRA past. He was very aware of it. Republicans | :25:42. | :25:46. | |
we know not blameless, and many people right across this community | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
found it difficult to forgive, and impossible to forget. That is true | :25:52. | :25:57. | |
on all sides, and in the streets surrounding the church, people | :25:58. | :26:01. | |
gathered to reflect not just on one life, but what life here was once | :26:02. | :26:08. | |
like. Our friend earned this fast crowd today. Even more, he earned | :26:09. | :26:19. | |
the right to ask us to honour his legacy by our living. To finish the | :26:20. | :26:23. | |
work that is their to be done. As part of the IRA, Martin | :26:24. | :26:36. | |
McGuinness did lay a role in causing many other families to grieve. But | :26:37. | :26:39. | |
Republicans see that past differently to victims. There was | :26:40. | :26:46. | |
not a bad Martin McGuinness or indeed a good Martin McGuinness. | :26:47. | :26:52. | |
There was simply a man like every other decent man or woman doing | :26:53. | :26:57. | |
their best in very difficult circumstances. | :26:58. | :27:02. | |
Those words will anger some, but the thousands who gathered in the | :27:03. | :27:09. | |
Bogside today believe that Martin McGuinness will be missed in the | :27:10. | :27:15. | |
ongoing work to heal the divides. Chris Buckler, BBC News, Derry. | :27:16. | :27:19. | |
A brief look at some of the day's other news stories. | :27:20. | :27:22. | |
Two Government-commissioned reports suggest the state pension age | :27:23. | :27:24. | |
One indicates that people aged 30 or under might have to work | :27:25. | :27:29. | |
until they're 70 before getting a state pension. | :27:30. | :27:30. | |
The other recommends those under 45 should wait until they're 68. | :27:31. | :27:36. | |

A Paralympian swimming coach is at the centre | :27:50. | :27:57. | |
of a bullying investigation by the sport's governing body. | :27:58. | :28:04. | |
It follows claims by several swimmers about the unnamed coach's | :28:05. | :28:06. | |
behaviour including at Rio 2016 where the British team | :28:07. | :28:11. | |
High street giant Next has reported its first fall in annual | :28:12. | :28:17. | |
profits for eight years and warned of "another tough year ahead". | :28:18. | :28:19. | |

The clothing and homeware retailer said it remains "extremely | :28:23. | :28:24. | |
Yesterday's terror attack began on Westminster Bridge | :28:25. | :28:31. | |
where Khalid Masood drove his car on to the pavement | :28:32. | :28:33. | |
Matthew Price has gone back to the bridge, which has now | :28:34. | :28:40. | |
reopened less than 24 hours after it was closed. | :28:41. | :28:42. | |
He's been retracing the killer's deadly route. | :28:43. | :28:50. | |
Inside the white circle, difficult to spot, is the dark car, driven by | :28:51. | :28:57. | |
Khalid Masood. It took him about 20 seconds to drive the 252 metres | :28:58. | :29:04. | |
across Westminster Bridge. At this point, it was just an ordinary car | :29:05. | :29:08. | |
driving round the roundabout in Waterloo. But he was about to enter | :29:09. | :29:13. | |
the bridge, Westminster Bridge, drive onto it and start killing | :29:14. | :29:18. | |
people. This is where he mounted the curb. Witnesses said they thought it | :29:19. | :29:31. | |
was an accident as Masood ran into his victims. One man fell over the | :29:32. | :29:37. | |
edge of the bridge, it is believed it was Kurt Cochran, on his 25th | :29:38. | :29:41. | |
wedding anniversary. His wife was still in hospital. At this point, he | :29:42. | :29:45. | |
put his foot to the floor, accelerating fast and hard. He hit | :29:46. | :29:50. | |
someone else just about here. Imagine the panic along here. People | :29:51. | :29:54. | |
walking along this pavement desperate to get out of the way. | :29:55. | :29:57. | |
Some of them pushing themselves right up to the side barriers to | :29:58. | :30:04. | |
stop themselves from being hit. And it's at this point where that CCTV | :30:05. | :30:07. | |
footage shows the woman falling over into the water. Did she jumped? One | :30:08. | :30:13. | |
eyewitness told us that she was knocked into the Thames by the car. | :30:14. | :30:19. | |
She was Andrea Christie, a Romanian tourist who was rescued from the | :30:20. | :30:24. | |
water. By this point it has become pretty clear to people on the bridge | :30:25. | :30:27. | |
what is going on. Many of them thankfully have managed to get out | :30:28. | :30:32. | |
of the way. He drives along the pavement here, but he knows that he | :30:33. | :30:36. | |
has to get back on the road, so he hits another couple of people, and | :30:37. | :30:40. | |
then nips off into the cycle lane. And these barriers are the reason | :30:41. | :30:44. | |
why he knew he had to get off the pavement. Instead, he swung past it, | :30:45. | :30:49. | |
carried on down that cycle lane there and then took an immediate | :30:50. | :30:53. | |
left, slamming hard into the fence around Parliament. There he killed | :30:54. | :31:00. | |
his final victim, PC Keith Palmer, and then, with three shots from the | :31:01. | :31:04. | |
police, Masood's deadly journey across the bridge was over. Matthew | :31:05. | :31:07. | |
Price, BBC News, Westminster. The Metropolitan Police said today | :31:08. | :31:10. | |
that there had been no prior intelligence about Masood's | :31:11. | :31:13. | |
intention to carry out an attack. Our security correspondent | :31:14. | :31:16. | |
Gordon Corera is here with me now. First, Gordon, let's sum up where we | :31:17. | :31:30. | |
are with this investigation 24 hours on. Yes, it has been a busy day for | :31:31. | :31:36. | |
the police in this investigation. A very fast paced investigation with a | :31:37. | :31:41. | |
number of addresses being searched, one in Carmarthenshire, three in | :31:42. | :31:46. | |
Birmingham and one in east London. Seven arrests, no one charged yet. | :31:47. | :31:51. | |
All of this, trying to understand the connections of Masood, his | :31:52. | :31:55. | |
background, his associates. Did anyone know potentially what he was | :31:56. | :31:57. | |
planning, trying to build up that picture about him, | :31:58. | :32:12. | |
when he was radicalised, when he decided to carry out that attack and | :32:13. | :32:15. | |
if anyone else was involved. What does it mean when so-called Islamic | :32:16. | :32:18. | |
State say he was one of their soldiers. Do we take it at face | :32:19. | :32:20. | |
value? It is the kind of statement we do see after attacks. They said | :32:21. | :32:23. | |
he was their soldier and he responded to their call to carry out | :32:24. | :32:26. | |
attacks. That does not necessarily mean that they were directing him, | :32:27. | :32:30. | |
that they trained him or they were in contact with him. You often see | :32:31. | :32:36. | |
that that they claim responsibility for something someone else has done. | :32:37. | :32:39. | |
He may have pledged allegiance to the group but there is no evidence | :32:40. | :32:43. | |
of that yet. That will be one of the key lines of enquiry for the police | :32:44. | :32:48. | |
and security services. They want to know what he linked to this group, | :32:49. | :32:53. | |
where their contact internationally? If there were then that may raise | :32:54. | :32:56. | |
questions about whether those should have been spotted by the authorities | :32:57. | :33:00. | |
and whether they should have changed that risk assessment that they made | :33:01. | :33:04. | |
a few years ago when they first spotted him. Then they thought there | :33:05. | :33:08. | |
was no sign that he was intending to carry out an attack. Clearly, he | :33:09. | :33:14. | |
was. Was there anything that could have been spotted. MI5 and the | :33:15. | :33:17. | |
police are constantly having to make difficult choices, prioritising who | :33:18. | :33:22. | |
they watch and who they put their scarce surveillance resources | :33:23. | :33:22. | |
against. Thank you. Since last night's attack | :33:23. | :33:26. | |
there have been shows Tonight this is the famous | :33:27. | :33:28. | |
Brandenburg gate in Berlin, illuminated in the colours | :33:29. | :33:31. | |
of the Union flag. Meanwhile, here in London, a vigil | :33:32. | :33:33. | |
is underway in Trafalgar Square to remember the victims | :33:34. | :33:36. | |
of yesterday's attack - those who died and the dozens | :33:37. | :33:38. | |
who were injured. Yes, George, Barra thousands of | :33:39. | :33:53. | |
people here in Trafalgar Square. Many of them were on their way home | :33:54. | :33:58. | |
from work. Others have travelled 20, 30 or 40 miles just to be here this | :33:59. | :34:01. | |
evening and show their solidarity and remember the people who died in | :34:02. | :34:06. | |
yesterday's attack and also those who were terribly injured. They have | :34:07. | :34:11. | |
heard from faith leaders across the capital. The Home Secretary was here | :34:12. | :34:16. | |
and the police as well and the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, who made an | :34:17. | :34:24. | |
open invitation for people to come here and join this vigil. He is with | :34:25. | :34:27. | |
me now. What have you made of the turnout? I think this shows that we | :34:28. | :34:31. | |
as a city will not allow evil and twisted individuals to divide our | :34:32. | :34:35. | |
city and destroy our shared values and our way of life. Many Londoners | :34:36. | :34:41. | |
and visitors wanted to do something today, horrified by the attacker | :34:42. | :34:46. | |
yesterday. And today's vigil where you have thousands of Londoners and | :34:47. | :34:50. | |
visitors here demonstrates the best of our city. And as much as evil, | :34:51. | :34:55. | |
twisted individuals may seek to destroy our way of life and attack | :34:56. | :35:00. | |
our shared values, they are not going to succeed. I was talking to a | :35:01. | :35:05. | |
police officer this evening, there was a policeman who lost his life | :35:06. | :35:17. | |
yesterday, there have been people hugging the police and giving them | :35:18. | :35:20. | |
cards and flowers and saying thank you. One of the most remarkable | :35:21. | :35:22. | |
things yesterday was how the police and emergency services run towards | :35:23. | :35:26. | |
danger and help, encouraging others to run to safety. That exemplifies | :35:27. | :35:30. | |
our police services and our emergency services. PC Keith Palmer | :35:31. | :35:36. | |
died protecting our city and protecting Londoners. It is | :35:37. | :35:39. | |
important that we recognise that everyday police officers leave home | :35:40. | :35:43. | |
to go to work, knowing they could well be injured, seriously injured, | :35:44. | :35:47. | |
and ultimately pay the price with their life. And their hearts are | :35:48. | :35:51. | |
with the family, not just of Keith Palmer, but also Aysha Frade and | :35:52. | :35:56. | |
Kurt Cochran who lost their lives, but also those who have been | :35:57. | :36:01. | |
injured. And by the way, those who have been injured, the victims, are | :36:02. | :36:05. | |
from all corners of the world. And when you said we will not be cowed, | :36:06. | :36:10. | |
a big cheer went up here which is very much the sentiment in Trafalgar | :36:11. | :36:14. | |
Square will stop thereof London, Sadiq Khan, thank you for joining | :36:15. | :36:17. | |
us. Back to you, George. Thank you. The weather in many parts | :36:18. | :36:32. | |
of the country has been better than yesterday. We had some more sunshine | :36:33. | :36:38. | |
around. By tomorrow, all of us should have mostly dry weather. | :36:39. | :36:41. | |
Still close to an area of low pressure here which is flirting with | :36:42. | :36:46. | |
the South and south-west. This is the rain bearing cloud we had | :36:47. | :36:50. | |
earlier on. It is rotating and it may come back in on itself before it | :36:51. | :36:57. | |
pushes out to the south-west. There is the chance of rain for the | :36:58. | :37:02. | |
south-west. The majority of the UK will have a clear evening. A good | :37:03. | :37:07. | |
chance of Frost in Scotland and Northern Ireland. Tomorrow starts | :37:08. | :37:13. | |
off cloudy in some southern and central areas. In the afternoon, | :37:14. | :37:19. | |
most of the UK is looking sunny. Temperatures will get up to 13 in | :37:20. | :37:26. | |
London, maybe ten in the north. The high pressure well and truly anchors | :37:27. | :37:29. | |
itself through the course of Friday night so that spells are settled | :37:30. | :37:34. | |
weekend for many of us. On Saturday, high-pressure sitting on top of the | :37:35. | :37:39. | |
country. Some strong winds blowing around the areas of high pressure. | :37:40. | :37:43. | |
Coastal areas feeling on the chilly side. Temperatures will comfortably | :37:44. | :37:52. | |
get up into the mid-teens. Saturday and Sunday should be fine. The | :37:53. | :37:56. | |
clouds will vary little bit from time to time but overall, the | :37:57. | :38:01. | |
outlook is looking fairly promising. Let's summarise all of that. This | :38:02. | :38:08. | |
weekend settled with some sunshine but always a touch of frost on the | :38:09. | :38:10. | |
way. A reminder of the main | :38:11. | :38:15. | |
developments tonight. The Westminster attacker has | :38:16. | :38:17. | |
been named by police So-called Islamic State claim | :38:18. | :38:19. | |
he was one of its soldiers. Overnight there were raids | :38:20. | :38:24. | |
in Birmingham and London. Three people were killed | :38:25. | :38:26. | |
by the attacker. They've been named | :38:27. | :38:31. | |
as PC Keith Palmer, So it's goodbye from me, | :38:32. | :38:34. | |
and on BBC One we now join the BBC's | :38:35. | :38:43. |
