:00:00. > :00:08.A security operation is continuing in London following today's

:00:09. > :00:15.terrorist attack, which killed four people and injured many others.

:00:16. > :00:21.The attacker drove into pedestrians, before stabbing a police officer

:00:22. > :00:26.MPs were subject to a lockdown at westminster for several hours.

:00:27. > :00:28.Among them was the DUP's Sir Jeffrey Donaldson,

:00:29. > :00:38.Tell us what happened where you were today. I had just arrived in from

:00:39. > :00:43.Belfast. I saw on the screen, as they entered the building, that

:00:44. > :00:49.there was a vote in the House of Commons. So along with a number of

:00:50. > :00:53.other MPs I was walking along the link between Portcullis House and

:00:54. > :00:57.the Houses of Parliament, when suddenly there was a loud bang.

:00:58. > :01:03.Shortly afterwards, police officers told us to get down. There were

:01:04. > :01:06.construction workers in the area, they were shouting. Then we were

:01:07. > :01:12.ushered by the police officers into a side entrance, into the Houses of

:01:13. > :01:16.Parliament. And after I went upstairs to the House of Commons, I

:01:17. > :01:21.cast my vote. But only then will be told that there had been a serious

:01:22. > :01:27.incident outside the Houses of Parliament. And sadly and tragically

:01:28. > :01:31.PC Keith Palmer had lost his life. Several other people injured. The

:01:32. > :01:35.figure has been put at 40 this evening. What do you think the

:01:36. > :01:39.security implications for Westminster now? There is massive

:01:40. > :01:44.security operation underway at Westminster. I saw armed response

:01:45. > :01:48.units, I saw the police, and all kinds of other security units

:01:49. > :01:56.crawling all over the Houses of Parliament. I have no doubt that

:01:57. > :02:01.MPs' lives were saved today because of Keith Palmer and his selfless

:02:02. > :02:04.courage in putting himself in the front line and in-home's way. Our

:02:05. > :02:12.thoughts and prayers are with his homily this evening. We have to ask

:02:13. > :02:15.the question, in a high security, high profile target like the Houses

:02:16. > :02:20.of Parliament, is it right that we have an armed police officers

:02:21. > :02:26.manning the security? It may be that Keith Palmer's life could not have

:02:27. > :02:31.been saved if he had been armed, given the nature of this attack. But

:02:32. > :02:34.I think there's going to have to be a fundamental review of the security

:02:35. > :02:38.arrangements at Westminster and indeed in central London. Sir

:02:39. > :02:41.Jeffrey Donaldson, thank you very much for joining us.

:02:42. > :02:44.The police say a bomb that exploded in Strabane last night

:02:45. > :02:45.was an attempt to kill officers on patrol.

:02:46. > :02:48.An area at Liskey Road has been closed for follow up searches.

:02:49. > :02:55.Our North West Reporter, Keiron Tourish, has more.

:02:56. > :02:57.tHE PSNI was carrying out a follow-up operation after last

:02:58. > :03:02.The police say it was a clear attempt to kill officers who were

:03:03. > :03:13.It happened shortly after half past eight.

:03:14. > :03:15.I'm lucky that I'm not reporting on deaths,

:03:16. > :03:18.This could have went anywhere and killed anybody who was out

:03:19. > :03:37.A number of residents were moved out of their homes during the alert.

:03:38. > :03:42.The question is why it took the PSNI two hours to respond to that viable

:03:43. > :03:46.threat. Detectives investigating the attack

:03:47. > :03:50.have issued an appeal for information. They want to hear from

:03:51. > :03:51.anyone who noticed any suspicious activity in the town area last night

:03:52. > :03:54.to come forward. Former American President Bill

:03:55. > :03:57.Clinton, Irish President Michael D Higgins and Taioseach Enda Kenny

:03:58. > :04:01.will be in Londonderry tomorrow for the funeral

:04:02. > :04:04.of Martin McGuinness. Today in the assembly MLA's gathered

:04:05. > :04:06.to remember the former Stormont once did unlikely

:04:07. > :04:16.friendships better than it does now, Martin McGuinness seemed to watch

:04:17. > :04:22.over the people who must Members will have been saddened

:04:23. > :04:28.to learn of the passing of former Deputy First Minister,

:04:29. > :04:33.Mr Martin McGuinness. As it did following the death

:04:34. > :04:37.of his old friend Ian Paisley, the Assembly gathered to pay tribute

:04:38. > :04:41.to the former Deputy First Minister, led by the woman who must now

:04:42. > :04:45.fill his shoes. In his last public appeal, he asked

:04:46. > :04:48.people to choose hope over fear, to put equality and respect

:04:49. > :04:52.at the heart of our institutions. That should be the clarion

:04:53. > :04:56.call for all in this Chamber in the weeks,

:04:57. > :05:00.months and years ahead. The woman whose political

:05:01. > :05:02.relationship with Mr McGuinness broke down said his likes

:05:03. > :05:07.would never be seen again. There's been much talk

:05:08. > :05:10.of my personal working He never saw to air brush

:05:11. > :05:16.the past, and neither did I. And it was precisely

:05:17. > :05:20.because of his past, because of his involvement

:05:21. > :05:23.with the IRA in the 1970s and 1980s, because of his involvement in those

:05:24. > :05:26.circles, that he was able to play the part that he played

:05:27. > :05:29.in bringing about a peaceful And because of all of that, I doubt

:05:30. > :05:39.we will ever see his like again. In remembering the past,

:05:40. > :05:42.some looked to the future. Of course we have to remember

:05:43. > :05:45.victims on days like this, but the best way to remember victims

:05:46. > :05:51.is for all of us to commit For all of us to commit

:05:52. > :05:57.to doing the things that We have that opportunity

:05:58. > :06:03.in the next few days. I do not believe that we would enjoy

:06:04. > :06:06.the relative peace that we do today if it were not for people

:06:07. > :06:09.like Martin McGuinness, and others, who showed the vision, leadership

:06:10. > :06:12.and the courage to move from very entrenched positions

:06:13. > :06:19.in the darkest of times. And to Unionists, this challenge

:06:20. > :06:22.from one of their own. If Unionism has anything to

:06:23. > :06:26.learn from Martin McGuinness, He reached far beyond his own

:06:27. > :06:32.on many occasions, and sometimes complained that Unionism

:06:33. > :06:40.did not reciprocate. But there is another view

:06:41. > :06:44.and this man put it. Constable Clive Graham was murdered

:06:45. > :06:46.by the IRA 29 years ago. He died in the same city

:06:47. > :06:49.and on the same date He never got the chance to live

:06:50. > :07:00.to 66, he never the chance to marry his girlfriend of the time,

:07:01. > :07:06.he never got the chance to see Because a man of blood

:07:07. > :07:25.decided he would die. Afterwards, MLAs filed out to

:07:26. > :07:29.sign the book of condolence. Led by the Speaker,

:07:30. > :07:33.and followed by Michelle O'neill, and then the DUP leader,

:07:34. > :07:37.Arlene Foster. He was described as a man,

:07:38. > :07:40.who without him there might not MLAs queueing to sign the book

:07:41. > :08:01.of condolence for Martin McGuinness Wreckage of the Irish coastguard

:08:02. > :08:05.helicopter which crashed off the Mayo coast last week has been found.

:08:06. > :08:08.A remote underwater camera has shown the aircraft lying about 60 metres

:08:09. > :08:10.off Blackrock Island, close to the spot where

:08:11. > :08:12.a signal from its black box recorder was located.

:08:13. > :08:15.Captain Dara Fitzpatrick was killed in the crash last Tuesday.

:08:16. > :08:17.The bodies of three other crew are still missing.

:08:18. > :08:22.And with the weather now, here's Angie.

:08:23. > :08:29.Hello, good evening. An east-west split today. West was best with

:08:30. > :08:33.brighter skies. Across the East it has been cloudy, cold and windy with

:08:34. > :08:37.spells of rain. Not a great deal of change through the night. The West

:08:38. > :08:42.is still dry with most of the rain towards the east. Because we have

:08:43. > :08:46.more cloud generally tonight, it won't be as cold as in some places

:08:47. > :08:52.last night. Generally around 3-4 Celsius. Into tomorrow we should see

:08:53. > :08:57.something brighter. To begin with we are looking at a fair amount of

:08:58. > :08:59.cloud. Also pieces of rain still lingering first thing. They will

:09:00. > :09:05.clear to the south-east and things will start to dry up. The rain heads

:09:06. > :09:11.south into the Republic before dying away. Still quite wet across the

:09:12. > :09:17.South and south-west of England. Feeling chilly despite highs in

:09:18. > :09:22.double figures. Elsewhere, a dry day and a pretty bright one in places as

:09:23. > :09:27.well. Into the afternoon, things left for Northern Ireland. Brighter

:09:28. > :09:30.skies nudging in from the east. Very gradually and slowly pushing their

:09:31. > :09:36.way westwards. It could be late in the afternoon before those guys get

:09:37. > :09:42.in there. At least it's dry and temperatures are a bit better as

:09:43. > :09:45.well. Through Friday and into the weekend, things are really settling

:09:46. > :09:49.down. The Knights will still be cold with a risk of some frost and fog.

:09:50. > :09:50.During the day it's dry, bright with sunshine. The temperature is fairly

:09:51. > :09:51.decent as well. Our next BBC Newsline
