there's a big weekend of World Cup qualifying ahead,

and a huge match for Chris Coleman's Wales against the Republic

of Ireland in Dublin this evening. Good evening and welcome

to the BBC News at Six. Police say they've made two

more significant arrests as they try to establish

whether the man who launched the attack on Westminster

was working alone or with others. Detectives have also released

the first image of the attacker ? 52-year-old Khalid Massoud,

who was born in Kent and named They are appealing for information

from anyone who knew him. Here's our special

correspondent Lucy Manning. The face of Khalid Masood, the face

that confronted police officers and Parliament. The face that looked out

of the car at pedestrians as he knocked them over. The 52-year-old

was known by a number of names. Good Adrian Elms in Kent, by the time he

was at this boys' secondary school in Tunbridge Wells, he was called

Adrian Ajao after his mother got married. School friends remembered

him as a sporty pupil who liked to party, a very nice guy. Adrian was a

very nice lad, a fun guy, always laughing, always joking, worked

reasonably hard, good at sport, Lady rugby very well. Just an own

assuming guy. But Khalid Masood was soon developing a reputation for

violence. In this sleepy Sussex village where he lived in his 20s,

at the local pub, he slashed a man in the face with a knife and was

sent to jail. Didn't have a very good reputation, definitely. I

remember he was a bit of a troubled character, I think would be the way

to describe it. A family friend said this was not the only time he turned

violent. A chap was looking at him, and I were sitting at the pool

table, and he took umbrage against him looking at him like he was, the

landlord was looking at him, and he flew over the bar, he got a glass,

he was going to do him. Khalid Masood spend time in three prisons.

Around ten years ago, he worked in Saudi Arabia. It is not clear when

he converted to Islam, but he started using his current surname at

least 11 years ago. His mother now lives in a remote farmhouse in

Camarthenshire, which detectives searched yesterday. They have not

been in any sort of contact with their sun for well over 20 years, I

understand. When it comes to terrorism, unfortunately, nobody can

be responsible for the action of their children. We now know he

launched his terror attack after staying overnight at a hotel in

Brighton. He seemed happy, staff said, I'm troubled by what he was

about to do. But he was about to leave his hotel room to drive to

London to kill. He was joking and smiling and friendly. He was a very,

very friendly person. He was a lovely guest, I might him, and he

even put comments in the system as a nice guest. There was nothing in his

conduct or demeanour which would have let me get a feeling, there was

something weird about this guy. And he's just on his way to commit mass

murder. Detectives have searched the hotel and there have been more raids

and arrests. In Manchester, a car was taken away by police in

Didsbury. Two arrests described by senior officers as significant were

made there and in the West Midlands. Police are still trying to build a

picture of the man who came here to attack Westminster. They say their

main aim now is to try and work out if he was acting alone, inspired by

terrorist propaganda, or if they are others still out there who

encouraged him, supported or even directed this attack. But it's clear

there are still gaps in the police chillies knowledge. We are appealing

to the public today to say, if even in hindsight now you realise

something about Khalid Masood, something about his associates, his

movements, now is the time to come forward to speak to us. A bright

student, turned violent man, turned terrorist. No-one is sure how or

why. The fourth victim of the attack has

been named as 75-year-old Leslie Rhodes from Streatham,

in South London. It's thought he had been crossing

Westminster Bridge on his way to or from a hospital visit

when he was hit by Masood's car. 50 people, from 12

different countries, Three remain in a very serious

condition in hospital. Our correspondent

Sarah Campbell reports. As the number of tributes continues

to grow, so, too, the number of people killed in the attack. Friends

and neighbours here in Clapham are mourning the loss of 75-year-old

Leslie Rhodes. He was a retired window cleaner. He would clean the

windows, take your rubbish downstairs, he would do anything for

you. To be there at that precise time and get hit by that maniac, I

mean, it's unbelievable. He will be sorely missed, he really well. Aysha

Frade, who was on her way to pick up her two daughters from school, lost

her life on the, which, as did Kurt Cochran from the United States, in

London, celebrating his wedding anniversary. And PC Keith Palmer,

pictured here with an American tourist in the hour before he was

stabbed to death. An online appeal by the Metropolitan Police

federation for his family has reached more than half ?1 million,

double its target. Among the seriously injured his police

Constable Chris Davies, who was hit by the car along with two other

police officers. In total, up to 50 people were injured in the attack.

Most have been discharged from hospital. Some are well enough to

talk about what happened. I didn't want to die, so I was just like, I'm

going to be OK, I'm going to try and convince myself that I'm going to be

OK. Putting I was horrified, I was scared for my life. I said, I didn't

want to die. Andreea Cristea, the Romanian woman who was pushed over

the barriers by the attacker's car, is still unconscious but is now

stable. She was in London with her boyfriend, and the country's

ambassador told me today that the fact she survived at all is a

miracle. They were coming to London to celebrate her birthday. He

intended to ask her for marriage the same day. And this was unfortunately

the destiny. Prince Charles, with 19-year-old student Travis Frain,

pictured today during a visit to Kings College Hospital. This is one

of several hospitals across London which are continuing to treat the

injured. Staff are coming to terms with the magnitude of what they had

to deal with. It was inspiring the way people worked together and

communicated to deal with the patient in front of them. It didn't

matter how many more were coming, you knew you would just keep

working. It was really quite something. Today at Westminster

Abbey, there was a show of solidarity. Religious leaders joined

together for a minute's silence to remember four who were killed and

the many more who were injured. Our home affairs correspondent

Daniel Sandford is So, many unanswered questions - how

is the investigation progressing? Yes, and talking to sources inside

the investigation, I get the impression that the initial, intense

act evictee, in which the known associates of Khalid Masood were

rounded up, that very, very intense work of the first 48 hours is

perhaps now starting to slow down. I think the detectives here at

Scotland Yard have now started to get an idea of what the story is,

and now they are starting to do the hard miles, working through the huge

amount of evidence that they have gathered, going through the huge

amount of computer data that they have gathered, including that

contact that there was between his phone and the WhatsApp app just a

few minutes before he drove across was Mr, which. Was that significant?

But I think still, the Metropolitan Police are making it clear that

although they have got some idea about the story, they want the

answer to the key question, was Khalid Masood acting totally alone

or was he in some way given assistance by others? Knowing that

is very important. We know now that he was born Adrian Elms, we heard

from one of his former classmates earlier on. You could tell the shock

at the sort of man that he would become? Yes. It is a very, very

interesting journey, isn't it? Born to a single mother on the outskirts

of London, going through childhood in some quite nice parts of Sussex

but becoming at some point an angry young man who was involved in

violence, in drugs, in getting drunk, ending up in prison. And then

this time teaching in Saudi Arabia before then returning to the UK,

changing his name to a clearly Muslim name, living in Luton and

then in the West Midlands. The question on that journey is, when

was the moment that he became a violent extremist? Was it something

that was part of his early conversion to Islam, was he

immediately converted to a very violent version of that, or was it

something that just happened in the last weeks and months? Don't forget,

he only acted on this violent extremism in those last few days.

And he had actually been living a life as a very normal member of the

Muslim community for many years before that.

In Belgium, prosecutors have charged a 39-year-old man with

attempted terrorist murder after a car was driven at high speed

towards crowds in Antwerp's shopping district yesterday.

The suspect is a French national of north African origin,

He has also been charged with possession of weapons,

after several knives and an unloaded shot gun were found in the car.

Getting rid of so-called Obamacare - the scheme to provide healthcare

He has demanded a make-or-break vote tonight on his troubled

And this vote is looking pretty close, isn't it, Jon? The only thing

I can say with certainty is that if anyone tells you they know how this

vote is going to go, they're lying. Choose your metaphor, this is on a

knife edge. What it boils down to is the health insurance which millions

of Americans will get in future. The Congressional office says up to 24

million Americans could lose their health insurance as a result of

this. For Donald Trump, this is a massive test of his authority. Can

the great deal-maker get a deal done with Congress? He is finding it very

different from being the CEO of a company, where you tell people what

to do, instead, having to deal with politicians who have minds of their

own. What happens if he loses this photo? Well, IF he loses, there is a

huge loss of prestige, he has got a very red-faced at the end of it,

because he has invested a huge amount in it. It could have a

knock-on effect for other legislation which he wants to

introduce. I'm just going to finish by saying that we have counted

Donald Trump out on so many occasions, he wouldn't get past

super juice day, he wouldn't become the Republican nominee, you couldn't

possibly win the presidency. And people might say he couldn't

possibly win this vote. Let's see. Two more arrests by police,

as police try to establish whether Westminster attacker

Khalid Massood was acting alone. And what happened next

The President of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker,

says the EU won't try to punish Britain during the Brexit talks.

But on the eve of celebrations marking the EU's 60th birthday,

Mr Juncker insisted the British government would have to pay what it

owed before leaving, a sum of about ?50 billion.

From Brussels here's our Europe Editor, Katya Adler.

It is the EU's 60th birthday and it's rolling out promo material

EU leaders are gathering in Rome for the birthday bash.

The timing's a little awkward, of course, just as

one of the club's most influential members -

Jean-Claude Juncker is the President of the European Commission, which

will be the lead EU negotiator in Brexit talks.

In Brussels, just before leaving for Rome, Mr Juncker

told me Theresa May would be sorely missed this weekend.

On Saturday, there will be a celebration.

The leaders of 27 member states will be there.

That surely is going to be the elephant in the room though,

the fact that Theresa May is not there.

I am deeply respecting the British people, the British nation.

We are not in a hostile mood when it comes to Brexit.

We'll negotiate in a friendly way, a fair way.

So, what about the ?50 billion the commission demands

Britain pays before it leaves EU, covering long-term budget

There will be no sanctions, no punishment,

nothing of that kind but Britain has to know,

and I suppose that the Government does know it,

they have to honour the commitments, and the

50 billion, 60 billion is around that.

But before calculations come celebrations.

The telecoms regulator Ofcom has put forward plans to help more than two

and a half million customers who experience issues.

With me is our Personal Finance Correspondent, Simon Gompertz.

Explain how all this will work? This is the regulator recognising it is

not only inconvenient but can be costly. You might depend on the

internet at home for your work, we might be missing work in order to

stay in for an engineer to visit. What will you get? This is what is

likely. If you have a loss of service on your land line oil

internet, not your mobile phone, and it lasts for more than two days, you

will get ?10 a day after that taken off your bill automatically. You

will not have to claim cost if you sign up for a new service and

connection and there is a delay in the promised start date, you get ?6

a day automatically. If you have arranged a visit from an engineer

and they do not turn up you get ?30 for the missed appointment. This

will make a difference, as you say, to millions of people. There you can

claim compensation at the moment, not do that successfully. Some might

be a little bit disappointed. There are a lot of gripes about very slow

internet and an intermittent service got up that will not count for the

ill have to be a total break to get the loss of service and a sustained

break. If it goes ahead next year, it will bring the phone companies in

line with water and the energy providers and with the rail

companies, some of whom are already providing automatic compensation if

The boys knew about Siri by watching them mum and dad. I said, Siri, 999.

Yes, this is the stage where some of the biggest names in comedy will be

stepping out very soon. Since it began, Comic Relief has raised more

than ?1 billion for people in need here in the UK and overseas. When

tonight's money raising efforts kick off in just over half an hour, one

of the highlights will almost certainly be the on-screen reunion

of some very familiar characters from a very special movie.

Like the original, it's been written and directed by Richard Curtis,

who co-founded Comic Relief with Lenny Henry.

I am filled with optimism for the weekend. It really is looking

beautiful. Clear, blue skies on the way. Just a few fair weather clouds.

It will stay settled all the way through the weekend and into Sunday.

The mornings will be frosty. Just a touch of frost in one or two areas

across northern areas of the UK in particular. It was cloudy early on.

The sun really did struggle in the south. It was gloomy for a big chunk

of the day for the Northern areas showed the lion share of the good

weather. We will have light winds. Temperatures will fall away under

clearing skies. Probably mist and fog forming. In the city above

freezing. Out of town temperatures will be down 2-2, minus four

degrees, particularly across northern parts of England and

Scotland. Mist and fog in a few areas. Then, basically, a stunning,

stunning, sunny Saturday. In some spots temperatures might even get up

to 17 Celsius. You can must get the deck chairs out. Saturday night and

into Sunday, high pressure is still there. Certainly, most of our

digital devices do this automatically back one AMB comes

2am. So the clocks spring forward this weekend. This is a selection of

some of the sunrises and sunsets this Sunday. Sunday, another

beautiful one. Cool around the coasts. Both Saturday and Sunday,

particularly in East Anglia. In that it is looking beautiful. Next week

things could go downhill a little bit. We will enjoy the weekend.

Police say they have made two more significant arrests they try to

establish whether the Westminster attacker Khalid Massoud was acting

alone.
