:00:07. > :00:09.Hello, this is Breakfast, with Charlie Stayt and Sally Nugent.

:00:10. > :00:12.We're in Westminster, where less than 24 hours ago

:00:13. > :00:15.a terror attack on the very heart of British democracy

:00:16. > :00:20.left five people dead and Parliament in lockdown.

:00:21. > :00:23.An attacker drove into crowds of people on the bridge,

:00:24. > :00:25.just down the river there, before stabbing to death

:00:26. > :00:29.a police officer outside the Houses of Parliament -

:00:30. > :00:38.he's now been named as PC Keith Palmer.

:00:39. > :00:41.He was someone who left for work today expecting to return home

:00:42. > :00:45.at the end of his shift and he had every right to expect

:00:46. > :01:09.This is King 's College Hospital one of the many centres were casualties

:01:10. > :01:15.were brought to. Amongst all the messages of defiance yesterday,

:01:16. > :01:17.another clear message, huge praise for the works of the emergency

:01:18. > :01:31.services and medical staff.. Good morning it's Thursday,

:01:32. > :01:34.the 23rd of March. The other main headlines

:01:35. > :01:36.on the Westminster attack Police say they believe they know

:01:37. > :01:39.the attacker's identity and that he was inspired

:01:40. > :01:46.by Islamist ideology. Parliament will operate as normal

:01:47. > :01:50.today in a show of defiance. The Prime Minister is expected

:01:51. > :02:11.to make a statement to the Commons. We are live at Westminster. Lots of

:02:12. > :02:14.activity still going on this morning. Let's go to Carole with the

:02:15. > :02:26.weather. A wet start to the day but generally

:02:27. > :02:32.speaking and improving weather day. More detail in 15 minutes.

:02:33. > :02:47.We are here in the aftermath of the terror attacks were five people died

:02:48. > :02:53.and 40 people injured some suffering what has been described as a

:02:54. > :03:02.catastrophic injury after a man drove a 4x4 vehicle into the crowd

:03:03. > :03:07.and went on to stab a policeman who later died. Five people are dead,

:03:08. > :03:13.including the attacker and the policeman who has been named. We get

:03:14. > :03:19.the latest from Andy Moore. The moment of the attack on Westminster

:03:20. > :03:23.Bridge. You can see a car moving at speed along the pavement in front of

:03:24. > :03:30.a slow-moving line of traffic. A figure, we now know it is a woman,

:03:31. > :03:35.falls into the water. Then panic as members of the public realise

:03:36. > :03:45.something is wrong. Three shots ring out. GUNFIRE. The photograph shows

:03:46. > :03:51.the immediate aftermath. A large knife is on the ground. Another

:03:52. > :03:58.knife is nearby. The police officer who was stab the deaf is Keith

:03:59. > :04:03.Palmer, a member of the Parliamentary and Diplomatic

:04:04. > :04:10.Protection. He was a husband and father with 15 years service. He was

:04:11. > :04:16.someone who left home today expected to return romp is achieved. At least

:04:17. > :04:23.three people died on the bridge, more than 40 hurt many with

:04:24. > :04:30.catastrophic injuries. Parliament will meet as normal and the Prime

:04:31. > :04:37.Minister urged to do as we would. We will never give in to terror and

:04:38. > :04:43.never allowing the voices of hate and evil to drive us apart. Police

:04:44. > :04:48.have not yet named the attacker but they believe they know his identity.

:04:49. > :04:56.They are treating it as a case of Islamist related terrorism. You will

:04:57. > :05:03.not succeed. You will not divide us. We will not be cowed by terrorists.

:05:04. > :05:10.Paris, as city which is also suffered from the scourge of

:05:11. > :05:16.terrorism, turn the lights off the Eiffel Tower in respect. The terror

:05:17. > :05:22.alert level has not in race. The priority now for the police is to

:05:23. > :05:28.find out if the attacker was working alone.

:05:29. > :05:33.Some of the people who survived the attack is said to have catastrophic

:05:34. > :05:34.injuries. Eight are being treated

:05:35. > :05:37.at the major trauma centre and that's where we can

:05:38. > :05:41.join our reporter John Maguire. John what's the latest

:05:42. > :05:58.in terms of casualties? We have had no immediate update this

:05:59. > :06:04.morning. They were eight people brought here in south London. Two

:06:05. > :06:10.were said to be very seriously injured or stop there were amongst

:06:11. > :06:16.that number six men and two women. Of course, as we know, the emergency

:06:17. > :06:22.services train for even so it is like this. They train for events

:06:23. > :06:26.like this very frequently and so a high degree of professionalism but

:06:27. > :06:32.they hoped against hope it will never happen. There are planned in

:06:33. > :06:39.place, Saint Thomas is across Westminster Bridge staff ran out

:06:40. > :06:44.there. We know the chairman of the dreaded doctors committee was one of

:06:45. > :06:56.the first on the scene. -- Junior dog is stop he employed help the

:06:57. > :07:02.policeman who later died but also to the attacker. What strikes home, one

:07:03. > :07:09.of the most striking images is that sense of duty, that sense of

:07:10. > :07:14.professionalism from all of the emergency services, the way they

:07:15. > :07:28.react to the danger with no regard to themselves. Thank you. This is a

:07:29. > :07:37.special programme this morning from Westminster. It is interesting thing

:07:38. > :07:41.here this morning, we are noticing behind us, some people are going

:07:42. > :07:48.through the barricades showing IDs. Today the message from Westminster

:07:49. > :07:56.is that it should be business as usual but it is not really. Looking

:07:57. > :08:05.behind as there is a flag hanging at half mast. There is a sombre

:08:06. > :08:11.feeling. The Prime Minister herself will make a statement to the House

:08:12. > :08:18.of Commons, we are expecting her to repeat her message that terrorism

:08:19. > :08:22.will not pull people apart. She will also give us an update on the

:08:23. > :08:30.situation. There are still 20 people seriously injured. There will be

:08:31. > :08:37.time to pay tribute to police and emergency services. Some of the MPs

:08:38. > :08:42.were quite close to Keith Palmer who died. I expect those tributes to be

:08:43. > :08:48.paid in due course. Then perhaps some other questions will be asked

:08:49. > :08:56.about security in the very heart of the nation 's democracy. What struck

:08:57. > :09:00.me yesterday, we forget, when we see politicians being quite aggressive

:09:01. > :09:06.towards each other at Parliament is essentially a family and there are

:09:07. > :09:10.several people in the building, who will be very, very shocked and

:09:11. > :09:27.distressed about what they were nursed? Absolutely. -- -- what they

:09:28. > :09:32.witnessed. The threat level is severe. But it has become almost

:09:33. > :09:38.normal to see people with machine-guns at Parliament. Because

:09:39. > :09:47.of that level security we think nothing like that would happen. We

:09:48. > :09:51.saw Tobias Ellwood trying to resuscitate the police officer. That

:09:52. > :09:55.would shock in the people inside Westminster. They feel safe because

:09:56. > :10:03.of the reassuring presence of police. They will be worries about

:10:04. > :10:07.future levels of security because they still managed to get just

:10:08. > :10:14.inside the gates of Parliament, whether they will need to be a

:10:15. > :10:22.review of security but today we will hear praise for the swift action of

:10:23. > :10:28.security. We are defending the heart of democracy but this man was armed

:10:29. > :10:35.with a knife. This incident could have been much, much worse if in

:10:36. > :10:42.another country where guns are more easily accessible. Thank you very

:10:43. > :10:48.much indeed. You mentioned how distressed that people involved

:10:49. > :10:52.would be today and it is incredibly distressing some of the images

:10:53. > :10:57.coming out of the attack and we are aware of our audience and people

:10:58. > :11:03.watching at home waking up and we are being incredibly careful with

:11:04. > :11:10.some of the images we are showing you. There is an ongoing police

:11:11. > :11:18.investigation and police are urging anyone with any information to

:11:19. > :11:26.contact them on the hotline on 0800 789 321. It is worth saying that

:11:27. > :11:34.throughout the morning, we will be speaking to some of those who

:11:35. > :11:42.witness for themselves events. The time now is sexy leather Nate Ebner.

:11:43. > :11:48.We will pause here for just a moment. -- the time here is 711

:11:49. > :11:54.a.m.. We'll have more on the terror attack

:11:55. > :11:57.at Westminster a little later But Kat's in the studio for us this

:11:58. > :12:01.morning and can bring us a round up of the day's

:12:02. > :12:04.other news and Sport. New calculations produced

:12:05. > :12:06.for the government raise the possibility that people aged 30

:12:07. > :12:09.or under might have to work until they're 70 before

:12:10. > :12:12.getting the state pension. A separate report says

:12:13. > :12:14.the government should abandon minimum annual increases

:12:15. > :12:16.in pensions, to save money. The government says it will decide

:12:17. > :12:19.on future pension ages in May. Moderate drinkers are less likely

:12:20. > :12:22.to suffer some heart problems than those who drink

:12:23. > :12:24.heavily or not at all. That's according to a new study

:12:25. > :12:27.published in Researchers

:12:28. > :12:29.from Cambridge University found that low levels of alcohol

:12:30. > :12:32.consumption were linked to The funeral of the former deputy

:12:33. > :12:37.first minister of Northern Ireland, Martin McGuinness, will be held

:12:38. > :12:40.in Londonderry this afternoon. The former US president,

:12:41. > :12:41.Bill Clinton, as are the Northern Ireland

:12:42. > :12:45.secretary, James Brokenshire, and the Irish prime

:12:46. > :12:47.minister, Enda Kenny. Mr McGuinness, a former IRA

:12:48. > :12:49.leader turned politician, The government is being warned

:12:50. > :12:57.against intervening in the energy It's thought ministers

:12:58. > :13:01.are preparing to act to help customers on standard

:13:02. > :13:04.energy tariffs. Five former energy regulators say

:13:05. > :13:07.doing so would have and could have "ominous

:13:08. > :13:16.implications" for other markets. Let's have a quick look at the sport

:13:17. > :13:23.now and it was a disappointing night for Gareth Southgate in his first

:13:24. > :13:31.England dominated the first half but a stunning strike in the 2nd

:13:32. > :13:33.from Lucas Podolski, in his final international,

:13:34. > :13:35.sealed the 1-0 win in the friendly in Dortmund.

:13:36. > :13:37.There was a disappointing performance from Scotland -

:13:38. > :13:41.they had to come back from one nil down to earn a draw against Canada

:13:42. > :13:57.Now back to Charlie and Sally in Westminster.

:13:58. > :14:09.You're watching it first on BBC News. We are here at Westminster

:14:10. > :14:12.this morning. Last night it was confirmed the police officer killed

:14:13. > :14:19.in yesterday 's terror attack was Keith Palmer. A 48-years-old husband

:14:20. > :14:25.and father who served in the force for 15 years. Five people have now

:14:26. > :14:32.died and 40 others wounded, some with very serious injuries. Hundreds

:14:33. > :14:37.of County terror police have been working throughout the night on the

:14:38. > :14:42.investigation. Looking at the attacker is motivation, preparation

:14:43. > :14:49.and anyone he knew. Theresa May will lead a symbolic show of defiance as

:14:50. > :14:55.MPs returned to work at the houses of Parliament.

:14:56. > :14:59.We're joined now by Dr Ashin Shahi who is a security and terrorism

:15:00. > :15:01.expert from the University of Bradford.

:15:02. > :15:10.It's worth pointing out where we are standing is the newest position, the

:15:11. > :15:15.closest that reporters can get. This is a major security operation this

:15:16. > :15:24.morning and of course, still a crime scene. Absolutely. What happened

:15:25. > :15:27.yesterday was a major atrocity. The people behind it, they were not only

:15:28. > :15:34.interested in creating maximum fear and terror in the heart of the

:15:35. > :15:38.capital, they also wanted to target that very important building. This

:15:39. > :15:43.is the most important political symbol in this country. This is the

:15:44. > :15:58.mother of all parliaments. . Obviously what happened yesterday

:15:59. > :16:14.was not only a terrorist incident. To what extent do you think this was

:16:15. > :16:17.planned. Security and over the past couple of years, they have prevented

:16:18. > :16:25.a number of possible terrorist incidents. Of course, it is

:16:26. > :16:31.difficult to predict and prevent everything. There are poisonous

:16:32. > :16:35.ideas which can inspire an individual without any resources,

:16:36. > :16:41.without any mobilisation, even without a great deal of

:16:42. > :16:45.organisations, to come on target and innocent individual and create

:16:46. > :16:54.maximum disruption with very minimal resources. It is worth saying that

:16:55. > :16:58.the senior police officer in charge is updating us. They say they think

:16:59. > :17:02.they know the identity of the attacker although at this stage,

:17:03. > :17:08.warning against speculation. Clearly, that will be the focus of

:17:09. > :17:15.the investigation. Absolutely. We can't have an informed guess. It is

:17:16. > :17:21.not a very good idea. Remember, in 2014, the spokesperson for Islamic

:17:22. > :17:24.State said that the support -- the supporters of the organisation, if

:17:25. > :17:29.they can't make it through the battlefronts in Syria and Iraq, they

:17:30. > :17:35.should attack non- believers here in the heart of the West. Basically,

:17:36. > :17:44.over the last couple of years, Islamic State actively have been

:17:45. > :17:52.promoting promoting those activities. What can be done to

:17:53. > :17:56.permit them that. They are not only facing a security problem. It is a

:17:57. > :18:00.political problem and a social problem. It is about social

:18:01. > :18:10.fragmentation. It is about identity politics. I very much doubt it. We

:18:11. > :18:13.can resolve the problem only true security means. This problem

:18:14. > :18:19.requires more copperheads and approach. It involves social,

:18:20. > :18:25.cultural, economic and other sociological factors. Do stay with

:18:26. > :18:31.us throughout the morning. We have much more to talk about is the

:18:32. > :18:35.programme goes on. This is a special edition of BBC Breakfast from

:18:36. > :18:39.Westminster. You will probably see as we talked throughout the morning,

:18:40. > :18:42.a number will --a number of people are going through the barricades and

:18:43. > :18:47.that is because the Commons will be operating not as normal today but it

:18:48. > :18:51.will be sitting. We are expecting a statement from Theresa May as MPs go

:18:52. > :18:55.into the Commons today. The moment, that is it from us. We'll have a

:18:56. > :19:00.moment to look at the weather with Carol.

:19:01. > :19:10.Some of us, a wet and cloudy start. It will brighten up and we will see

:19:11. > :19:12.some sunshine. Particularly breezy across parts of Northern Ireland,

:19:13. > :19:18.southern Scotland and northern England. We've also got an area of

:19:19. > :19:22.low pressure. It is going to take a swipe at Southern counties,

:19:23. > :19:26.introducing some rain later on. We have a bright and cold start across

:19:27. > :19:30.the south-west. We have rain and some murky conditions across the

:19:31. > :19:33.Midlands, particularly the West Midlands. Some distant fog which

:19:34. > :19:39.will lift into low cloud. Brighter skies into the south-east. We can

:19:40. > :19:42.see that line of rain across parts of northern England and into

:19:43. > :19:48.Scotland and Northern Ireland. A wee bit of snow coming out of that. Into

:19:49. > :19:52.northern Scotland, a cold start. Some frost around. It is a bright

:19:53. > :20:08.run. Through the day, the breeze will ease. The rate in the middle,

:20:09. > :20:13.going into the south-west. Across the Channel Islands and some parts

:20:14. > :20:17.of the UK. We will see some sunshine in the afternoon between nine and 13

:20:18. > :20:21.degrees. Through the evening and overnight, we still have the low

:20:22. > :20:25.pressure in front. Very close to the south coast. Here, we will see some

:20:26. > :20:31.further rain. A breezy night as well. A lot of clear skies. For most

:20:32. > :20:36.of the UK, a colder night than the one just gone. There will also be

:20:37. > :20:40.some rain across the far north of Scotland. That takes us into

:20:41. > :20:44.tomorrow. For a time, we will have this cloud and rain across the

:20:45. > :20:49.South. Some cloud left in its wake but the most of the UK, it's going

:20:50. > :20:53.to be another dry and find date with light breezes. You can see how it

:20:54. > :20:57.brightens up into the afternoon across southern areas as well. Some

:20:58. > :21:04.showers just flirting with the far north of Scotland. Temperatures

:21:05. > :21:07.picking up. 11- 13 degrees. As we head into the weekend, the high

:21:08. > :21:12.pressure in the north really starts to dominate the weather in the whole

:21:13. > :21:17.of the UK. We still have isobars around this coming in a clockwise

:21:18. > :21:20.direction so we are dragging in some cold continental air on a nagging

:21:21. > :21:24.easterly breeze still in the south, it will feel cooler if you're

:21:25. > :21:29.exposed to that wind but many of us, we will some sunshine. A lot of dry

:21:30. > :21:35.weather this weekend. Cool in the south. Somewhere in Wales, northern

:21:36. > :21:46.England, it could hit perhaps 14 or 15. We are live this morning from

:21:47. > :21:51.Westminster after the events of yesterday. Theresa May, the Prime

:21:52. > :21:56.Minister has said it is business as usual today. They are going to

:21:57. > :22:00.attempt to get on with some business but it doesn't feel particularly

:22:01. > :22:03.normal here today. There is a definite heightened sense of

:22:04. > :22:13.awareness everywhere we are. But the Sheed images now this morning live

:22:14. > :22:32.of Westminster. This is exactly where the terror attack happened

:22:33. > :22:40.yesterday. And that is these are the images she can see. As of last

:22:41. > :22:55.night, there are still a number of vehicles on the bridge. It is

:22:56. > :23:01.essentially a crime scene. We know that three people died there. The

:23:02. > :23:08.police officer was killed as well. The assailant himself was shot dead

:23:09. > :23:13.by police. That image this morning of Westminster Bridge. Just to give

:23:14. > :23:17.you some idea of how different things look here this morning,

:23:18. > :23:22.things looking very, very different from this time yesterday. It feels

:23:23. > :23:25.different as well. Extra police are on the streets of London this

:23:26. > :23:27.morning. This really was an attack on the capital that had long been

:23:28. > :23:30.feared. Breakfast's Graham Satchell has

:23:31. > :23:32.been looking at London's response to the Westminster

:23:33. > :23:45.terror attack. Everywhere you looked in the centre

:23:46. > :23:50.of London, there were police. It was a real show of force to reassure the

:23:51. > :23:54.public. It is terrible. People have died, it is horrific. I have lived

:23:55. > :23:59.in London for six years and you don't really think about it. You

:24:00. > :24:03.sort of become, you expect it on a daily basis so it is never really at

:24:04. > :24:08.the forefront of your mind but it's terrible. It's shocking but always

:24:09. > :24:11.in our minds that this could happen and it's happened across Europe and

:24:12. > :24:18.here it is happening in London outside Parliament. One man, a car

:24:19. > :24:21.and a knife, and astonishingly unsophisticated attack on the

:24:22. > :24:29.public, the police and the centre of power. Caught up in the aftermath,

:24:30. > :24:32.tourists on the London Eye. We met Adrienne, who was waiting for her

:24:33. > :24:37.family. I am waiting for them, they are stuck up there, way up the top,

:24:38. > :24:43.still waiting to come down. After being kept on the Eye for three

:24:44. > :24:47.hours, Adrienne's family were allowed to leave. Give me a hug. I

:24:48. > :24:54.saw stretchers and stuff on the ground. I was thinking it was kind

:24:55. > :25:02.of scary because I never see something like that before. Many

:25:03. > :25:07.were being met were on holiday. Places where these kinds of horrors

:25:08. > :25:13.happen all too frequently. We are from Israel and we are pretty

:25:14. > :25:21.regular, or used to terror attacks, so it's sad but we live it every

:25:22. > :25:26.day. Yesterday's attack was shocking in part because it is still so rare

:25:27. > :25:32.here but with the shock, a real sense of defiance in the capital. I

:25:33. > :25:39.think Londoners feel very calm. My grandparents remember the war and

:25:40. > :25:43.there was a kind of stoicism. It may be sad that we almost expect this to

:25:44. > :25:48.happen. You can't do anything about it, you've just got to go out and

:25:49. > :25:53.get on. You've got to carry on. You can't never beat us. We are old

:25:54. > :25:59.enough to remember. We were in the war, after all, nearly. London has

:26:00. > :26:05.seen attacks before and will no doubt see them again. The aim this

:26:10. > :26:16.as this attack was, it is singularly failed.

:26:17. > :26:22.Interesting picking up on the words of the Home Secretary who spoke of

:26:23. > :26:29.course yesterday evening. Her message was, stay calm but be

:26:30. > :26:36.vigilant. Be very mindful of people throughout London today. Of course,

:26:37. > :26:40.we have been talking about MPs but as you can see from Graham's report,

:26:41. > :26:44.70 people from around the world come here. This is the place they

:26:45. > :26:49.gravitate to, the heart of British government, just to have a look

:26:50. > :26:53.around. They go to the London Eye. Lots of people involved in the

:26:54. > :26:57.attack yesterday and lots of people who will recognised it -- will

:26:58. > :30:18.recognise where this attack took place. We are live at

:30:19. > :30:18.recognise where this attack took from us at BBC London in 30 minutes

:30:19. > :30:31.and plenty more news. Welcome back. We are live from

:30:32. > :30:38.Westminster. Police believe a man who killed four

:30:39. > :30:41.people in central London was inspired by international

:30:42. > :30:43.and Islamist-related terrorism. Three people were killed

:30:44. > :30:46.when a vehicle was driven along the pavement of Westminster Bridge

:30:47. > :30:49.yesterday afternoon. A police officer

:30:50. > :30:53.was then stabbed to death, before the attacker

:30:54. > :30:57.himself was shot dead. The policeman has been

:30:58. > :31:01.named as PC Keith Palmer. The moment of the attack

:31:02. > :31:08.on Westminster Bridge. On the right-hand side you can see

:31:09. > :31:11.a car moving at speed along the pavement in front

:31:12. > :31:15.of a slow-moving line of traffic. A figure, we now know it is a woman,

:31:16. > :31:19.falls into the water. Then panic as members of the public

:31:20. > :31:25.realise something is wrong. A photograph shows

:31:26. > :31:33.the immediate aftermath. An armed police officer stands

:31:34. > :31:37.poised over the attacker. The police officer who was stabbed

:31:38. > :31:47.to deaf has been named The police officer who was stabbed

:31:48. > :31:50.to death has been named He was a member of the Parliamentary

:31:51. > :31:54.and Diplomatic Police Command. Keith, ages 48,

:31:55. > :31:56.had 15 years service, He was someone who

:31:57. > :32:00.left for work today, expecting to retur home

:32:01. > :32:02.at the end of his shift. And he had every right

:32:03. > :32:05.to expect that would happen. At least three people died

:32:06. > :32:07.on the bridge, many were said to have

:32:08. > :32:12.catastrophic injuries. The Prime Minister said Parliament

:32:13. > :32:14.would meet as normal today. She urged the people of London

:32:15. > :32:19.and its visitors to do the same. And we will all move

:32:20. > :32:22.forward together. Never giving in to terror and never

:32:23. > :32:30.allowing the voices of hate and evil Police have not yet

:32:31. > :32:34.named the attacker but they believe they

:32:35. > :32:37.know his identity. They are treating it as a case

:32:38. > :32:41.of Islamist related terrorism. My message to those who want to harm

:32:42. > :32:45.us and destroy our way of life Overnight, a show of solidarity

:32:46. > :32:52.from the French capital, Paris - a city that

:32:53. > :32:54.has also suffered The lights of the Eiffel Tower

:32:55. > :33:00.were switched off. The Prime Minister called

:33:01. > :33:02.yesterday's incident but the official terror alert level

:33:03. > :33:08.has not been raised. The priority now for the police

:33:09. > :33:14.will to find out The priority now for the police

:33:15. > :33:29.will be to find out One of the things we want to do is

:33:30. > :33:35.keep you up-to-date with some of the conditions hurt yesterday. Some

:33:36. > :33:46.people are said to have catastrophic injuries. Eight are being treated at

:33:47. > :33:54.Kings College Hospital. What is the latest update? We are still waiting

:33:55. > :34:02.for further details. Those eight people were brought here, two of

:34:03. > :34:08.those very seriously injured and of that eight X-Men and two women.

:34:09. > :34:17.Kings College Hospital it is just south of the River Thames, a from

:34:18. > :34:21.where you are of course. But there are always plans in place for

:34:22. > :34:31.incidents like this and there are centres set up to treat people as

:34:32. > :34:37.best they can. It will be on the inside and outside pages but two

:34:38. > :34:45.things struck home from yesterday- people running away from the danger

:34:46. > :34:49.but a considerable number of people running towards it, the emergency

:34:50. > :34:55.services, the staff that are trained to deal with situations like these

:34:56. > :35:00.despite the fact they hope against hope it would not happen. Emergency

:35:01. > :35:07.staff treating the attacker, showing him the highest regard for life, a

:35:08. > :35:16.regard he did not show earlier in the afternoon. Thank you. It is

:35:17. > :35:22.striking, of the emergency services was absolutely breathtaking to

:35:23. > :35:28.behold and everybody we have spoken to this morning the first thing they

:35:29. > :35:38.spoke about was the response of the security and emergency services. As

:35:39. > :35:45.people were running away they were running in. Police are urging people

:35:46. > :35:53.with any information about the event to get in touch. We are in the

:35:54. > :36:02.closest area we can get to. If we show you some of the images of

:36:03. > :36:15.Westminster Ridge, it is it really quiet. -- Bridge. This is

:36:16. > :36:22.effectively a crime scene. Many vehicles have been moved away.

:36:23. > :36:30.Across the bridge, towards the Houses of Parliament. 40 people, 40

:36:31. > :36:35.casualties, injured as that car careered across the bridge. We will

:36:36. > :36:40.keep you right up to date with the police investigation and any

:36:41. > :36:48.developments. It does not look real when you see the bridge completely

:36:49. > :36:55.close. Let's go and find out the rest of today's news.

:36:56. > :36:57.New calculations produced for the government raise

:36:58. > :37:00.the possibility that people aged 30 or under might have to work

:37:01. > :37:02.until they're 70 before getting the state pension.

:37:03. > :37:05.A separate report says the government should abandon

:37:06. > :37:07.minimum annual increases in pensions, to save money.

:38:06. > :38:11.effect and could have ominous implications for other markets.

:38:12. > :38:16.Let's have a quick look at the sport now and it was a disappointing night

:38:17. > :38:21.for Gareth Southgate in his first match as permanent England manager.

:38:22. > :38:23.England dominated the first half but a stunning strike

:38:24. > :38:27.in the 2nd from Lucas Podolski - in his final international -

:38:28. > :38:29.sealed the one nil win in the friendly in Dortmund.

:38:30. > :38:32.England next play Lithuania on Sunday in a world cup qualifier.

:38:33. > :38:44.Up until the goal I thought we were really the better side. Germany had

:38:45. > :38:50.a little spell where they controlled it. We had some of our younger

:38:51. > :38:55.players on and that was a good learning experience for them but I

:38:56. > :39:00.am very pleased with what we learned and the manner of the performance

:39:01. > :39:02.and the one it we missed was the finish. It should have had the game

:39:03. > :39:03.won, really. Scotland have a crucial World Cup

:39:04. > :39:07.qualifier against Slovenia on Sunday - and last night's performance

:39:08. > :39:09.won't have done much They could only draw one

:39:10. > :39:13.all in a friendly against Canada. Fraser Aird - who actually

:39:14. > :39:16.plays for Falkirk - produced a fine finish

:39:17. > :39:18.to send Canada ahead. Steven Naismith scored

:39:19. > :39:20.the equaliser for Scotland. Canada are 117th in

:40:16. > :40:23.the morning after the worst attack in London since the July

:40:24. > :40:27.7th bombings in 2005. Five people, including the attacker,

:40:28. > :40:30.died just yards away At just before quarter to three

:40:31. > :40:42.yesterday afternoon a car mounted the pavement on Westminster Bridge

:40:43. > :40:45.hitting a number of people including At least 40 people were injured

:40:46. > :40:50.as the car travelled The car eventually crashed

:40:51. > :40:56.into railings outside The driver then got out of the car

:40:57. > :41:05.and ran around Parliament Square before breaking through security

:41:06. > :41:08.and attacking PC Keith Palmer The attacker was eventually shot

:41:09. > :41:20.by plain-clothed officers. A number of people witnessed the

:41:21. > :41:26.events. Political campaigner Richard Tice

:41:27. > :41:29.and Editor Kevin Schofield were both at the scene yesterday

:41:30. > :41:42.and watched events unfold. You came out of the tube station,

:41:43. > :41:48.tell us what you saw? I came out one or two minutes after the incident

:41:49. > :41:53.and police were ushering people away from the scene towards the bridge. I

:41:54. > :41:58.just looked around and on the other side of the pavement there were

:41:59. > :42:04.people and bodies littered all the way along the bridge. As I looked

:42:05. > :42:10.down, more and more people were being attended to by passers-by

:42:11. > :42:15.before authorities emergency services arrived. I could not see

:42:16. > :42:19.the vehicle because that was surrounded by people to the north of

:42:20. > :42:26.the bridge. There was a sense of bewilderment. You could not take in

:42:27. > :42:32.exactly what was happening. Even just talking about what happened

:42:33. > :42:38.yesterday, it is shocking to hear. This morning, when you woke up how

:42:39. > :42:49.did you manage the process what you saw yesterday was back you wondered

:42:50. > :43:00.if it was some kind of a dream. Memories came back and... It will be

:43:01. > :43:08.quite some time before it 16. I was working in the press gallery

:43:09. > :43:16.overlooking the yard. I looked out the window. We thought there had

:43:17. > :43:22.been a bus smash or something. We heard lots of shouting and then we

:43:23. > :43:27.became aware of a man forcing his way through a security fence and

:43:28. > :43:32.attacking the policeman and both going down onto the ground and then

:43:33. > :43:39.another policeman appeared running towards them and the attacker got up

:43:40. > :43:43.and went towards him with his arm outstretched like he was holding a

:43:44. > :43:49.knife. Within a couple of seconds I heard gunfire. I did not know if it

:43:50. > :43:56.was the attacker or someone else that had the gun. It turns out it

:43:57. > :44:03.was the police. The police officer has been named as PC Keith Palmer,

:44:04. > :44:10.15 years of service. Many people who come out of this building know the

:44:11. > :44:20.security officers very well. Yes and you see them with members of the

:44:21. > :44:24.public. They are very much the frontline, the overlooking face of

:44:25. > :44:31.Parliament and it is just incredible. We owed them so much

:44:32. > :44:36.because they keep us safe. One of the things that has struck me, we

:44:37. > :44:41.read a lot that Parliament security was a breech but in fact it was not

:44:42. > :44:48.because the man was stopped and he will stopped by PC Keith Palmer.

:44:49. > :44:51.That's right. It was an extraordinary leap quick and fast

:44:52. > :44:58.response. Armed police arriving in droves with guns, machine-guns, very

:44:59. > :45:02.quickly after the incident. Shocking though the incident is, we should

:45:03. > :45:08.draw comfort from the fact that we are kept safe by the security forces

:45:09. > :45:16.and you cannot deal with a lone attack on like this using low-tech

:45:17. > :45:23.fall the brutal crime. In amongst a desperate situation with all great

:45:24. > :45:25.drapery and individuals going to the aid of people in a situation they

:45:26. > :45:40.did not know what was going on. That is the spirit of London. I'm

:45:41. > :45:43.sure that would happen in any city but that is the bravery that one

:45:44. > :45:48.human has for another. Halley going to get on with your day-to-day? How

:45:49. > :45:55.do you go back to normal? It's quite simple. Parliament is sitting again

:45:56. > :45:58.which is very important. It sends a strong message that we will not be

:45:59. > :46:03.thrown off course by events like yesterday so it just a case of going

:46:04. > :46:08.back to the office and covering what happens in Parliament just like we

:46:09. > :46:13.do each day. Rear expecting a statement from Theresa May in the

:46:14. > :46:20.Commons. She spoke yesterday evening. That will be important. It

:46:21. > :46:25.will be a sombre moment. Yesterday was Prime Minister 's question. That

:46:26. > :46:33.is the Parliamentary Highpoint, passions run higher. The atmosphere

:46:34. > :46:38.will be quite sombre today. It's all about sending a message that life

:46:39. > :46:41.goes on in the Parliamentary democracy and the events of

:46:42. > :46:45.yesterday will not change that. Thank you very much indeed for

:46:46. > :46:49.sharing those stories which will be very difficult to live with and

:46:50. > :46:53.difficult to hear for many people at home. I know everybody at home, you

:46:54. > :46:57.are waking up, perhaps you are watching with your children. We are

:46:58. > :47:02.being careful with what we share with you with the images we share.

:47:03. > :47:07.This story has been various distressing over the last few hours.

:47:08. > :47:13.We will be spending the morning here at Westminster giving you the latest

:47:14. > :47:21.on this investigation. We will take a moment have a look at the with

:47:22. > :47:26.Carol. For some of us, a beautiful start. This is Sunrise in Kent and

:47:27. > :47:30.another one from Bedfordshire. Some of us getting off to a sunny start.

:47:31. > :47:34.That is not the case everywhere because we have some rain across the

:47:35. > :47:37.Midlands for example, across parts of southern and south-eastern

:47:38. > :47:42.Scotland. Patchy across Northern Ireland. There is also some hill

:47:43. > :47:48.snow. For south-west England, bright start. We've got a lot of rain. Not

:47:49. > :47:53.particularly heavy across the Midlands. We've had some fog that is

:47:54. > :47:57.lifting its low cloud. Then in the east, brighter skies and sunshine.

:47:58. > :48:03.As we move north into northern England, the rain, more patchy. The

:48:04. > :48:12.far north of Scotland, a cool start to the day. Nippy and sunny. As we

:48:13. > :48:20.go through the course of the day, the rain will peter out. More patchy

:48:21. > :48:24.in showery. We will have got an area of low pressure and its attendant

:48:25. > :48:27.fronts coming up across the English Channel, introducing some rain

:48:28. > :48:33.across the Channel Islands and southern countries of England. The

:48:34. > :48:38.interior will also pick up. With highs of up to 13, it will feel

:48:39. > :48:45.quite pleasant. To England, we hang on to this rating. At times, it will

:48:46. > :48:52.clip across the south-east of England. In some of these glens of

:48:53. > :48:59.Scotland, the temperatures could dip two minus eight. There will be

:49:00. > :49:04.fosters will tomorrow morning. We will have this rain across the South

:49:05. > :49:08.for a time. It does pull away and although it will leave quite a bit

:49:09. > :49:12.of cloud behind it, that will break up in the south of England will join

:49:13. > :49:17.must -- much of the rest of the UK in that sunshine with just some

:49:18. > :49:22.showers at times. More notably, the Northern Isles. Temperatures

:49:23. > :49:25.climbing up again, 11- 13. As we head into the weekend, the high

:49:26. > :49:29.pressure is in charge of our weather. A lot of dry, unsettled

:49:30. > :49:36.weather. Chilly first thing in the morning. The sun is quite strong.

:49:37. > :49:44.13- 15 in parts of England and Wales. Saturday into Sunday, don't

:49:45. > :49:50.forget to put your clock forward. The start of British summertime. On

:49:51. > :49:55.Sunday, more cloud coming in. Still this keen wind, cold wind coming in

:49:56. > :49:56.from the continent. Temperatures in the sunshine responding quite

:49:57. > :50:13.nicely. 13 or 14 being the high. As you can see, we live here this

:50:14. > :50:19.morning Westminster. Theresa May said life goes on as normal and that

:50:20. > :50:23.is what they are going to try and do at the Palace of Westminster behind

:50:24. > :50:27.me but I have to tell you that here this morning, it is not feel normal.

:50:28. > :50:31.This is as close as we can get. Police have stopped us from getting

:50:32. > :50:36.any closer. Houses of Parliament are about 100m that way and we will be

:50:37. > :50:41.bringing you all the very latest on the developments of yesterday's

:50:42. > :50:45.incidents. We will be speaking to eyewitnesses and some MPs. Keeping

:50:46. > :50:52.you up-to-date with the very latest on the police investigation.

:50:53. > :50:59.The first newspaper we can Sherry this morning is the Times newspaper.

:51:00. > :51:05.Many of the images you will see those focusing in on the immediate

:51:06. > :51:11.aftermath. Assault on Westminster, on the front page. Just in front of

:51:12. > :51:26.the House of Commons. You can see the two groups of paramedics. And

:51:27. > :51:30.the attacker. Moving on, let's have a look at the front page of the

:51:31. > :51:38.Daily Mirror. They say attack on democracy. They have taken it on a

:51:39. > :51:44.much closer and all some of the pictures that are emerging from

:51:45. > :51:47.yesterday are distressing to see. On the front page of the Telegraph

:51:48. > :51:54.newspaper, sorry about the windy conditions. These are the quotes

:51:55. > :52:00.from Theresa May. The comments yesterday evening, after it emerged

:52:01. > :52:07.a total of five people had been killed. After this sequence of

:52:08. > :52:14.events. Although police have named the attacker, Scotland Yard said it

:52:15. > :52:17.was inspired by international terrorism.

:52:18. > :52:23.at counter-extremism organisation Quilliam and is here with us now.

:52:24. > :52:28.A little noisy down here. We will have to get used to that. A number

:52:29. > :52:43.of police vehicles moving around. Last night, the lead police officer

:52:44. > :52:47.said they think they know the identity tells where we are in terms

:52:48. > :52:56.of who might be responsible. The lack of speculation means we do not

:52:57. > :53:02.know motive or tactics. While the individual was able to use the knife

:53:03. > :53:06.and access the vehicle, it was something quite similarly to

:53:07. > :53:12.Islamist attacks around the world. We must remember that getting a

:53:13. > :53:18.weapon from your house and attacking MPs are something we have seen in

:53:19. > :53:22.far right extremism such as Jo Cox. If it is an attack of Islamist

:53:23. > :53:28.terrorism, but I think would be interesting is because this attack

:53:29. > :53:31.was still alive, whether Islamic state or any other terrorist

:53:32. > :53:36.organisation will claim the attack, it's usually quite unlikely if the

:53:37. > :53:41.suspect is still alive. This attack yesterday were strikingly similar to

:53:42. > :53:44.the Berlin attacks. Might there be some kind of link? Are we in a

:53:45. > :53:51.situation where there could be potentially copycat attacks. It is.

:53:52. > :53:56.It is buried difficult at this moment to find a precise link. We

:53:57. > :54:01.have to be vigilant. At the same time, we have to be resilient, as

:54:02. > :54:06.the Prime Minister said, was linked to this. Not let a low technology

:54:07. > :54:14.attack affect our day-to-day life. Just keep calm and carry on. We have

:54:15. > :54:18.the extraordinary situation and maybe we can say it is -- see some

:54:19. > :54:26.of the images, the area is effectively a crime scene. And on

:54:27. > :54:33.Westminster Bridge. This is a very unusual situation. An investigation

:54:34. > :54:37.under way. Police and security services will be trying to work out

:54:38. > :54:48.what links them may have been to this individual. It isn't a normal

:54:49. > :54:55.working day in that sense. We have to thank the police and the security

:54:56. > :55:07.services. In terms of trying to find out the links I would forget

:55:08. > :55:12.suggesting reporting anything suspicious to police and don't give

:55:13. > :55:19.this terrorism. How can we begin to try and understand what this motive

:55:20. > :55:23.might have been. Because the individual is still alive, it's only

:55:24. > :55:27.a matter of time before that information is made public. That

:55:28. > :55:30.will be at the discretion of the police and the security services.

:55:31. > :55:34.Thank you very much for your time this morning. We will be bringing

:55:35. > :55:41.you much more reaction and eyewitness reports including coming

:55:42. > :55:45.up in the programme, the head teacher of a primary school who had

:55:46. > :55:46.some pupils who are very well looked after by police and MPs inside the

:55:47. > :59:10.Palace of Westminster. Hello, this is Breakfast,

:59:11. > :59:51.with Charlie Stayt and Sally Nugent. We're in Westminster,

:59:52. > :59:53.where Parliament will sit today after less than 24 hours after

:59:54. > :59:55.a terror attack on the very heart

:59:56. > :59:58.of British democracy left five people dead

:59:59. > :00:03.and Parliament in lockdown. An attacker drove into crowds

:00:04. > :00:06.of people on the bridge, just down the river there,

:00:07. > :00:09.before stabbing to death a police officer

:00:10. > :00:13.outside the Houses of Parliament - he's now been named

:00:14. > :00:17.as PC Keith Palmer. He was someone who

:00:18. > :00:20.left for work today expecting to return home

:00:21. > :00:22.at the end of his shift and he had every right to expect

:00:23. > :00:27.that would happen. More than 40 people were injured

:00:28. > :00:57.in the attack, some of them Good morning. This morning we will

:00:58. > :00:58.have the latest on the investigation.

:00:59. > :01:01.Police say they believe they know the attacker's identity -

:01:02. > :01:04.and that he was inspired by Islamist ideology.

:01:05. > :01:08.Both houses of Parliament will operate as normal today

:01:09. > :01:15.The Prime Minister is expected to make a statement to the Commons.

:01:16. > :01:17.We'll have the latest from here through our programme

:01:18. > :01:23.today and as always, Carol has the weather.

:01:24. > :01:32.Some rain in the forecast but mostly it will peter out. Later there will

:01:33. > :01:37.be rain coming in across the south of England. More details later.

:01:38. > :01:41.Scotland Yard has confirmed the police officer killed

:01:42. > :01:44.in yesterday's terror attack was Keith Palmer,

:01:45. > :01:49.Police believe the attacker, who hasn't been named,

:01:50. > :01:53.was inspired by international and Islamist-related terrorism.

:01:54. > :01:56.Three people were killed when a vehicle was driven along

:01:57. > :01:58.the pavement of Westminster Bridge yesterday afternoon.

:01:59. > :02:07.The moment of the attack on Westminster Bridge.

:02:08. > :02:11.On the right-hand side you can see a car moving at speed along

:02:12. > :02:14.the pavement in front of a slow-moving line of traffic.

:02:15. > :02:20.A figure, we now know it is a woman, falls into the water.

:02:21. > :02:25.Then panic as members of the public realise something is wrong.

:02:26. > :02:32.A photograph shows the immediate aftermath.

:02:33. > :02:35.An armed police officer stands poised over the attacker.

:02:36. > :02:45.The police officer who was stabbed to death has been named

:02:46. > :02:50.He was a member of the Parliamentary and Diplomatic Police Command.

:02:51. > :02:52.Keith, ages 48, had 15 years service,

:02:53. > :03:00.He was someone who left for work today,

:03:01. > :03:03.expecting to return home at the end of his shift.

:03:04. > :03:06.And he had every right to expect that would happen.

:03:07. > :03:08.At least three people died on the bridge,

:03:09. > :03:11.many were said to have catastrophic injuries.

:03:12. > :03:14.The Prime Minister said Parliament would meet as normal today.

:03:15. > :03:18.She urged the people of London and its visitors to do the same.

:03:19. > :03:21.And we will all move forward together.

:03:22. > :03:28.Never giving in to terror and never allowing the voices of hate and evil

:03:29. > :03:33.Police have not yet named the attacker

:03:34. > :03:35.but they believe they know his identity.

:03:36. > :03:40.They are treating it as a case of Islamist related terrorism.

:03:41. > :03:44.My message to those who want to harm us and destroy our way of life

:03:45. > :03:51.Overnight, a show of solidarity from the French capital,

:03:52. > :03:53.Paris - a city that has also suffered

:03:54. > :03:59.The lights of the Eiffel Tower were switched off.

:04:00. > :04:01.The Prime Minister called yesterday's incident

:04:02. > :04:08.but the official terror alert level has not been raised.

:04:09. > :04:11.The priority now for the police will be to find out

:04:12. > :04:29.I can tell you that where we are now, not far away is essentially a

:04:30. > :04:33.crime scene and the investigation is very much ongoing and active. The

:04:34. > :04:39.flat was raided in Birmingham. It's not known

:04:40. > :04:41.if there is any link Our reporter Sima Kotecha is in

:04:42. > :04:53.Birmingham for us this morning. Good morning. Last night, around 11

:04:54. > :05:02.o'clock in the evening, this road was cordoned off. There was large

:05:03. > :05:07.police presence. Eyewitnesses say around three people who were living

:05:08. > :05:12.inside and were inside were taken away top it is not clear whether

:05:13. > :05:18.they were arrested but what we do know when we called police to find

:05:19. > :05:22.out exactly what happened here, they redirected our call to Scotland

:05:23. > :05:29.Yard. Of course, Scotland Yard is investigating the attack on

:05:30. > :05:33.Westminster Bridge. That is not to say these two incidents are related

:05:34. > :05:38.stop this could have been a completely Independent operation but

:05:39. > :05:44.what we know and believe is that the car that was used in the attack in

:05:45. > :05:52.London yesterday was high-end from here, in Birmingham. Thank you. We

:05:53. > :05:59.note some of the people who survived the attack are now said to have

:06:00. > :06:06.catastrophic injuries. Eight are at the trauma centre in Kings College

:06:07. > :06:13.Hospital. What is the latest information you have in terms of

:06:14. > :06:19.casualties conditions? Nothing further from the details we were

:06:20. > :06:26.given last night. Eight people were brought here to Kings College

:06:27. > :06:33.Hospital south of the River Thames. Six men, two were women. Two were

:06:34. > :06:37.critically injured. We are awaiting further update from hospital staff.

:06:38. > :06:44.There are hospitals right across London that practice will situations

:06:45. > :06:50.such as this. Saint Thomas 's Hospital, at the other end of the

:06:51. > :06:55.bridge, medical staff ran out to treat people on to the bridge and

:06:56. > :07:04.indeed last night we spoke to the chairman of the BMA junior doctors

:07:05. > :07:10.association. He was out there offering resuscitation, not only the

:07:11. > :07:18.police officer but also to the attacker. As with all of the

:07:19. > :07:24.emergency services, all the medical professionals yesterday, they

:07:25. > :07:29.afforded him a privilege and respected his right to life,

:07:30. > :07:36.something he had not done. All strangers earlier in the day. Just

:07:37. > :07:41.picking up on what John was saying, the work of the emergency services,

:07:42. > :07:48.in about ten minutes time we are going to be talking to a doctor who

:07:49. > :07:53.was on board the air ambulance talking about what happened, what

:07:54. > :08:08.developed and how they called naked their efforts. -- call co-ordinate.

:08:09. > :08:16.Our political correspondent joins us now. As we speak, we can see some of

:08:17. > :08:21.the wide shots of Westminster itself and the bridge. Everything very

:08:22. > :08:33.quiet today. A most unusual situation for --. Usually at this

:08:34. > :08:42.time people would be crossing the bridge in great numbers. MPs would

:08:43. > :08:49.be gathering to enter Parliament. On Millbank, it is usually a bustling

:08:50. > :08:54.street. Bumper-to-bumper traffic, but it is absolutely deserted.

:08:55. > :09:00.Police cordon is still up. We are seeing a sombre and unreal

:09:01. > :09:07.atmosphere and the message MPs want to say is that this is business as

:09:08. > :09:14.usual and they are sticking to the normal business in the face of this

:09:15. > :09:21.terror attack. The Prime Minister is expected to give a statement. But it

:09:22. > :09:25.is very sombre and very different. We have essentially a crime scene in

:09:26. > :09:32.the immediate surroundings but as he said Theresa May making it very

:09:33. > :09:39.clear that MPs will return to the Commons and we are expecting a

:09:40. > :09:43.statement from her? She will be talking about the values of

:09:44. > :09:48.democracy, liberty and freedom and she will characterise this attack is

:09:49. > :09:56.an attack on those values. And that evil should not drive people apart.

:09:57. > :10:01.A symbolic act is not so much that MPs are gathering but that they are

:10:02. > :10:07.keeping Parliament open to the public. The public gardens will be

:10:08. > :10:14.open and people will be allowed to go in under obviously tight

:10:15. > :10:23.security. It is a tribute from the Prime Minister and MPs to the

:10:24. > :10:27.victims, to Keith Palmer and the other police officers who were

:10:28. > :10:34.injured. They will stick to their normal agenda. I have the say, it is

:10:35. > :10:41.not feel normal when you see a flag flying at half mast after seeing one

:10:42. > :10:51.of the worst attacks in London in a decade. We are getting some breaking

:10:52. > :10:55.news. We were in Birmingham a moment ago talking about the raids. We are

:10:56. > :11:03.getting information that those brave are linked to the ongoing police

:11:04. > :11:14.investigation here in Westminster. We will keep you updated on those

:11:15. > :11:20.rates. -- raid in Birmingham. They will be sitting in the House of

:11:21. > :11:25.Commons. Theresa May will make a speech. It is hard to imagine it

:11:26. > :11:31.will be business as usual but it is clear statement has been made in

:11:32. > :11:46.effect anyway. That's right. People will be determined to conduct normal

:11:47. > :12:01.business. International trade will be working. INAUDIBLE Parliament was

:12:02. > :12:07.suspended just before David was about to set out the order of

:12:08. > :12:13.business. It is inconceivable though it has not been confirmed, it is

:12:14. > :12:17.inconceivable that they would not be another meeting of the emergency

:12:18. > :12:25.committee to bring together senior politicians and police officers. We

:12:26. > :12:29.are yards away from MI5 and they will also be at the meeting and that

:12:30. > :12:36.will be discussing response yesterday and also asking the more

:12:37. > :12:42.difficult questions. Today is a day of tributes and praise but questions

:12:43. > :12:49.will also be asked about securities at the heart of British democracy.

:12:50. > :12:58.Today is a day for reflection but from the breaking news about the

:12:59. > :13:04.Birmingham raid, it is also a day for an investigation that is going

:13:05. > :13:08.full belt. Police are urging anyone with any information to get in

:13:09. > :13:16.touch. Members of the public are asked to call 0800 789 321. That is

:13:17. > :13:22.the same number if anybody was to report anything suspicious. We will

:13:23. > :13:32.be here throughout the morning. A special programme on BBC. Right now,

:13:33. > :13:37.let's go to a round-up of the rest of this morning 's news.

:13:38. > :13:39.New calculations produced for the government raise

:13:40. > :13:43.the possibility that people aged 30 or under might have to work

:13:44. > :13:45.until they're 70 before getting the state pension.

:13:46. > :13:47.A separate report says the government should abandon

:13:48. > :13:49.minimum annual increases in pensions, to save money.

:13:50. > :13:53.The government says it will decide on future pension ages in May.

:13:54. > :13:55.Moderate drinkers are less likely to suffer some heart problems

:13:56. > :14:01.than those who drink heavily or not at all.

:14:02. > :14:03.That's according to a new study published in

:14:04. > :14:05.Researchers from Cambridge University

:14:06. > :14:09.found that low levels of alcohol consumption were linked to

:14:10. > :14:14.The funeral of the former deputy first minister of Northern Ireland,

:14:15. > :14:16.Martin McGuinness, will be held in Londonderry this afternoon.

:14:17. > :14:18.The former US president, Bill Clinton,

:14:19. > :14:21.as are the Northern Ireland secretary, James Brokenshire,

:14:22. > :14:23.and the Irish prime minister, Enda Kenny.

:14:24. > :14:26.Mr McGuinness, a former IRA leader turned politician,

:14:27. > :14:32.The government is being warned against intervening in the energy

:14:33. > :14:35.It's thought ministers are preparing to act

:14:36. > :14:37.to help customers on standard energy tariffs.

:14:38. > :14:40.Five former energy regulators say doing so would have an adverse

:14:41. > :14:51.effect and could have ominous implications for other markets.

:14:52. > :15:05.That is a quick look at the other stories but now back to Charlie and

:15:06. > :15:10.Sally. Joining us here this morning, next to the barricades, some people

:15:11. > :15:13.allowed through but only those who have business in the comments.

:15:14. > :15:16.The emergency services are being praised for their swift

:15:17. > :15:17.response to yesterday's terror attack.

:15:18. > :15:20.Medics from nearby St Thomas' Hospital raced to Westminster bridge

:15:21. > :15:25.Soon after the attacks an air ambulance landed in

:15:26. > :15:35.Dr Tony Joy was part of the team onboard and he's with us now.

:15:36. > :15:54.PAL you this morning? Yesterday would have been incredibly intense.

:15:55. > :16:03.It was a pretty awful day yesterday. And a late night. Trying to collect

:16:04. > :16:08.one's thoughts. Thank you. Take us through the sequence of events. What

:16:09. > :16:20.was the first you knew of what was happening? We were on the helipad.

:16:21. > :16:28.The klaxon went and we understood we were being tasked with a traffic

:16:29. > :16:32.collision. There was little information we were initially given.

:16:33. > :16:39.Even with small information, we thought this might be significant

:16:40. > :16:48.for casualties and while we were in a helicopter, were collecting our

:16:49. > :16:54.thoughts. What is going through your head and what practical things have

:16:55. > :16:58.you been doing? As the helicopter is overhead, you try to take in as much

:16:59. > :17:03.information as you can about what was a complex clinical scene. It was

:17:04. > :17:06.spread out over a large area. We didn't have much clinical

:17:07. > :17:09.information. We wanted to get a feeling for roughly how many

:17:10. > :17:17.casualties we might be dealing with. The safety at the scene. And other

:17:18. > :17:24.aspects. A number of other emergency servers is also available. What help

:17:25. > :17:31.were you able to offer? Latest figures say 40 injuries. If I may

:17:32. > :17:36.briefly office -- offer condolences to all the families and friends of

:17:37. > :17:41.loved ones of the dead and injured on behalf of our servers and the

:17:42. > :17:47.other emergency services. We were able, as we were there really, there

:17:48. > :17:57.is a balance to be made between diving in clinical care and trying

:17:58. > :18:02.to gain an overview, the wider sort of strategic control of the scene,

:18:03. > :18:10.which is something that London's ambulance service were setting up an

:18:11. > :18:15.absolute credit to them. Remarkable infrastructure they developed in

:18:16. > :18:22.managing collocated scene. We were immediately on scene and we started

:18:23. > :18:29.to assess the casualties. And look the information about more

:18:30. > :18:34.casualties. And we were involved in treating several people. We try to

:18:35. > :18:39.support the service in any way we could. You just offered your

:18:40. > :18:44.condolences and wishes and I am sure all of those families would like to

:18:45. > :18:47.offer you thanks to all you did yesterday and incredibly fast

:18:48. > :18:55.response. They give are talking us. It's a privilege.

:18:56. > :19:07.We will be spending the morning speaking to those who are involved

:19:08. > :19:12.in the events of yesterday. We will be speaking to some of the MPs who

:19:13. > :19:15.are involved in events at the comments, Theresa May making it

:19:16. > :19:17.plain that they will be sitting in the house today, as a gesture of

:19:18. > :19:27.defiance. The many of us, we are getting off

:19:28. > :19:32.to a bright start, rather like this lovely one but there is some rain in

:19:33. > :19:37.the forecast. That will peter out and it will brighten up. For a lot

:19:38. > :19:41.of the UK today, it will remain dry. But not everywhere. We have low

:19:42. > :19:46.pressure, not too far away in the continent. It is going to move

:19:47. > :19:52.northwards and bring some rain across the Channel Islands. This

:19:53. > :19:57.morning, it is the north of the country. That will be with us in the

:19:58. > :20:01.next couple of hours. Northern Scotland, a cold start to you but a

:20:02. > :20:07.beautiful one with a lot of sunshine. Again, some patchy rain

:20:08. > :20:17.and hill snow which will peter out in the next couple of hours. As we

:20:18. > :20:21.drift further west, especially across the Midlands, heading down

:20:22. > :20:32.towards Hampshire, south-west England, starting off on a bright

:20:33. > :20:41.note. We are also looking at some rain. It will move to Wales in the

:20:42. > :20:49.south-west, turning more patchy. The next batch comes across France.

:20:50. > :20:54.Temperatures 72 about 30 degrees of Celsius. In the sunshine, quite

:20:55. > :21:00.pleasant. Heading onto the evening and overnight, the rain waxes and

:21:01. > :21:05.wanes and it will be across the Channel Islands and at times across

:21:06. > :21:08.southern and coastal counties. Easy but north of the Midlands, for

:21:09. > :21:13.example, we are looking at a cold night, colder than the night just

:21:14. > :21:18.gone. But these temperatures you see our towns and cities in rural areas,

:21:19. > :21:24.and it will be colder than that so frosty start but clear skies. The

:21:25. > :21:28.rain in the south will clear quite quickly leaving a lot of cloud

:21:29. > :21:32.behind it but that breaks up into much of the UK, some sunshine,

:21:33. > :21:36.showers in the north, highs between 11 and 13 and as we head into the

:21:37. > :21:42.weekend, the weather remains fairly settled.

:21:43. > :21:49.Thank you very much indeed. We will be back in half an hour for more

:21:50. > :21:56.weather. Welcome back to Westminster. Reflecting on events

:21:57. > :21:59.yesterday, bringing the right up-to-date with the police

:22:00. > :22:04.investigation and on that subject, I can tell you we are expecting in the

:22:05. > :22:07.next ten or 15 minutes, a press conference from new Scotland Yard

:22:08. > :22:12.with any of the latest developments. Let us show you the live images from

:22:13. > :22:20.Westminster this morning. We will take you through what you know.

:22:21. > :22:25.These are from the police press conference last night. 40 people

:22:26. > :22:31.were injured in the sequence of events. That was mainly when the car

:22:32. > :22:38.was driven at pedestrians on the bridge. A total of five people were

:22:39. > :22:43.killed in the attack. One of those, police officer PC Keith Palmer, 15

:22:44. > :22:45.years of service and also the attacker himself who was shot dead

:22:46. > :23:07.by police. This rate is definitely moving at

:23:08. > :23:12.some pace. We expect an update from Scotland Yard in the next ten

:23:13. > :23:22.minutes. How hard will they be working now? The initial

:23:23. > :23:25.investigation, they will be mainly focused on trying to identify who

:23:26. > :23:29.this person is and if they don't know that, they will carry

:23:30. > :23:33.identification on them, they will want to be identified even if they

:23:34. > :23:42.don't make it through the incident. The police will be focused and

:23:43. > :23:49.they'll be focused on that and that will be where they go. Those who

:23:50. > :23:54.come to this place a lot, reflecting on what an extraordinary atmosphere

:23:55. > :23:59.it is. We were as close as we can be because from here on in, we are

:24:00. > :24:07.here. Effectively, not only is this a security zone, it is a crime zone.

:24:08. > :24:13.The whole area is a crime scene. There will be officers working to

:24:14. > :24:17.try to secure evidence, CCTV. There are cameras everywhere here. They

:24:18. > :24:22.are looking to build-up a picture of what happened yesterday. Something

:24:23. > :24:27.that is not been mentioned, there will be a lot of people who will

:24:28. > :24:32.wonder what has gone on. They will contact the police and say, I was on

:24:33. > :24:38.the bridge or I was there and I saw this. It's not just that. Lots of

:24:39. > :24:43.witnesses yesterday, people from all over the world on the bridge. Lots

:24:44. > :24:48.of them have footage on their mobile phones. What happens will all about?

:24:49. > :24:53.The police need to know who they are and get in contact. Call the police

:24:54. > :24:58.and say, I was there, I have some footage on my telephone, how do I

:24:59. > :25:03.get back to you? It is really important. What will the police be

:25:04. > :25:08.looking for? They will be looking for, sometimes what happens is,

:25:09. > :25:13.these people have accomplices and they may well have been watching

:25:14. > :25:17.what went on. Those people may have been filming what was going on as

:25:18. > :25:22.well. To put it on YouTube and things like that. The witnesses who

:25:23. > :25:30.have got footage, they may well have caught these people. Things like

:25:31. > :25:40.that, you have to put it forward. PC Keith Palmer has been named as the

:25:41. > :25:43.police officer. The first line of defence outside the Houses of

:25:44. > :25:50.Parliament. What are your thoughts this morning? There are an

:25:51. > :25:57.extraordinary number of armed officers. There is pressure from the

:25:58. > :26:05.palace. Such a visible armed presence. It is a matter for the

:26:06. > :26:12.police. Who they put there. Unfortunately, they pay the ultimate

:26:13. > :26:19.price. I can tell you in the time we have been here this morning, there

:26:20. > :26:22.are police out in force and you get the sense that having lost someone

:26:23. > :26:25.yesterday, there is a real sense that they want to be out here

:26:26. > :26:32.invisible and just getting on with the job. We are told that there will

:26:33. > :26:35.be a press conference in the next few minutes on new Scotland Yard

:26:36. > :26:37.with any of the latest developments and we will bring you that as it

:26:38. > :30:08.happens. Time for the news, Hello this is Breakfast

:30:09. > :30:29.with Charlie Stayt and Sally Nugent It is 7:30. We are spending the

:30:30. > :30:33.morning here so we can show you some of the images of the immediate

:30:34. > :30:38.surroundings. The streets are blocked off. No one is allowed

:30:39. > :30:45.behind the barrier. You will see some staff going through, MPs will

:30:46. > :30:52.be sitting today and arriving later on. We will be keeping you up to

:30:53. > :31:01.date with the situation. You can see the flags flying at half mast, a

:31:02. > :31:07.mark for those who died yesterday. A total of five people died yesterday,

:31:08. > :31:19.including the police officer who was killed, PC Keith Palmer. Three other

:31:20. > :31:27.people injured as the car ploughed into pedestrians. And the attacker

:31:28. > :31:34.himself shot dead. As the light dawns, you can see the flag at half

:31:35. > :31:40.past over Westminster. We are saying everything is back to normal this

:31:41. > :31:44.morning, the Prime Minister saying it is business as usual but standing

:31:45. > :31:50.here it is not feel like a normal day at all. People will be going

:31:51. > :31:58.into Westminster but it will not feel like he did 24 hours ago. A

:31:59. > :32:00.number of developments. We are a press conference from the new

:32:01. > :32:06.Scotland Yard very shortly. The BBC understands the police raids

:32:07. > :32:09.that took place in Birmingham in the early hours of this

:32:10. > :32:12.morning are linked to Our reporter Sima Kotecha is in

:32:13. > :32:22.Birmingham for us this morning. Just after 11 o'clock last night

:32:23. > :32:27.this road was cordoned off. The flat a high meat was raided by police.

:32:28. > :32:31.Three men were taken away we are told by eyewitnesses was not it is

:32:32. > :32:37.not clear whether they were arrested or taken away for questioning. We

:32:38. > :32:42.asked police were the operation was about and they direct and our goal

:32:43. > :32:45.to Scotland Yard and they are investigating the attack in

:32:46. > :32:50.Westminster. We can tell you there is a link between what happened here

:32:51. > :32:55.last night and what happened in Westminster yesterday as well stop

:32:56. > :33:01.we can also tell you that we believe the vehicle used in the attack in

:33:02. > :33:14.London was actually high-end from here in Birmingham. Thank you very

:33:15. > :33:19.much. As we have been reporting, many people were hurt yesterday.

:33:20. > :33:26.Some of them are said to have catastrophic injuries. That is among

:33:27. > :33:37.the 40 people had. They are being treated in hospitals across London,

:33:38. > :33:43.including St Mary 's. Is there any update on the people being treated

:33:44. > :33:49.there? Good morning. If I can show you, there is quite a large police

:33:50. > :33:56.presence. Police vans, two police minibuses and the entrance of the

:33:57. > :34:02.hospital, people are having their bags searched. Two police officers

:34:03. > :34:09.on guard. The hospitals have not confirmed this but we spoke to one

:34:10. > :34:13.patient, Martin Galloway, he said in the afternoon he was waiting there

:34:14. > :34:19.and he was told he had to move from AMD because he was told there were a

:34:20. > :34:26.number of injured police officers coming to this hospital. The police

:34:27. > :34:29.have not confirmed this law have the hospital trust however yesterday we

:34:30. > :34:33.learned three police officers were injured on the bridge and this man

:34:34. > :34:44.believes they are here being treated at St Mary 's. Thank you very much

:34:45. > :34:49.indeed. The injured are being treated in various hospitals across

:34:50. > :34:54.London and very striking images in the newspapers of all the emergency

:34:55. > :35:01.services rushing in to help yesterday. It is a very noisy here,

:35:02. > :35:07.very busy. Some people moving through the cordoned and that is

:35:08. > :35:17.because the comments will be open. It is not as normal but this is an

:35:18. > :35:21.extraordinary situation. The barriers are up because it is a

:35:22. > :35:29.security zone but also a crime scene but within that politics of the sort

:35:30. > :35:34.will continue. The message is a business as usual but it feels

:35:35. > :35:42.anything other than normal. Police vehicles going past behind me. A

:35:43. > :35:52.road normally bustling with traffic empty. There will be tributes to the

:35:53. > :35:57.police and emergency services but apart from the sound of helicopters

:35:58. > :36:06.and Cyrix, the message Parliament wants to send is that democracy will

:36:07. > :36:12.not be stopped. The Leader of the House announced to MPs just before

:36:13. > :36:18.the suspension that there had been a knife attack, he will be setting out

:36:19. > :36:24.the normal order of business for Parliament and members of the public

:36:25. > :36:32.will be allowed to go in... We will continue to battle on through the

:36:33. > :36:40.noise. SIRENS. We have a helicopter overhead and several vehicles with

:36:41. > :36:47.their sirens on. Lots of unmarked security vehicles. Everything in the

:36:48. > :36:51.last few moments has gone up a notch but at around this time we are

:36:52. > :36:56.starting to expect people to try to make their way into Westminster.

:36:57. > :37:06.They will be there for the start of the session at a 30 a.m.. You will

:37:07. > :37:14.only have allowance to go in if you have a pass. Some are taken in for

:37:15. > :37:19.unmarked vehicles. We are also expecting that it has not been

:37:20. > :37:25.confirmed, and other meeting of the emergency committee. We are just a

:37:26. > :37:31.few minutes away from MI5 headquarters and we will expect

:37:32. > :37:35.senior government ministers and the Prime Minister 's been briefed. We

:37:36. > :37:44.are expecting a press conference from Scotland Yard any moment. We

:37:45. > :37:53.were expecting that at 7:30 but that has a little. Police team to urge

:37:54. > :37:56.anybody with any information to get in touch.

:38:29. > :38:32.yesterday, it is you really quiet. The police investigation is ongoing

:38:33. > :38:36.and we are expecting an update from Scotland Yard in the next few

:38:45. > :38:47.the possibility that people aged 30 or under might have to work

:38:51. > :38:52.A separate report says the government should abandon

:38:53. > :38:54.minimum annual increases in pensions, to save money.

:38:58. > :39:00.Moderate drinkers are less likely to suffer some heart problems

:39:01. > :39:02.than those who drink heavily or not at all.

:39:03. > :39:05.That's according to a new study published in

:40:11. > :40:12.from Lucas Podolski, in his final international,

:40:13. > :40:23.sealed the 1-0 win in the friendly in Dortmund.

:40:24. > :40:26.Up until the goal I thought we were really the better side.

:40:27. > :40:29.Germany then had a little spell where they controlled and obviously

:40:30. > :40:33.we put some of our younger players on and that was a good learning

:40:34. > :40:36.experience for them, um, but I am very pleased

:40:37. > :40:38.with what we learned, the manner of the performance,

:40:39. > :40:41.and the one bit we missed was the finish.

:40:42. > :40:50.You know, we should have had the game won, really.

:40:51. > :40:54.Scotland have a crucial World Cup qualifier against Slovenia on Sunday

:41:54. > :42:19.That is all the rest of the day 's news and sport now it is back to

:42:20. > :42:25.Charlie. We are keeping you up to date. We are expecting a press

:42:33. > :42:38.of last night, confirmed by Scotland Yard, 40 people injured in events as

:42:39. > :42:44.they unfolded yesterday. We know five people were killed, including

:42:45. > :42:50.PC Keith Palmer who was the police officer who was stabbed. We know the

:42:51. > :42:57.attacker was shot dead and three other people were killed. Just to

:42:58. > :43:03.give you a sense of where we are, we are at the closest point we can get

:43:04. > :43:10.to the Houses of Parliament, to Westminster. Behind the camera there

:43:11. > :43:17.is a truck arriving with concrete blockades on board. It would appear

:43:18. > :43:24.security, which is a very high, has been stepped up, not least because

:43:25. > :43:30.MPs will be here today. Some witnessed events yesterday. They

:43:31. > :43:37.will be returning as marks of defiance. Comments will be setting

:43:38. > :43:43.as they were yesterday. -- the comments. A group of school children

:43:44. > :43:49.were in a visit. They were looked after by police officers and put in

:43:50. > :43:55.a room when the building was in lockdown. They were given a

:43:56. > :43:59.television so they could watch TV and keep them quiet. I can tell you

:44:00. > :44:00.also,... 53 children from Somerset

:44:01. > :44:03.were caught up in yesterday's terror attack during a school trip

:44:04. > :44:06.to the Houses of Parliament. Now all safely home,

:44:07. > :44:09.the year six pupils from St John St Francis Church School

:44:10. > :44:11.in Bridgwater set off The school tweeted photos

:44:12. > :44:16.with the children on their trip And pausing for lunch before

:44:17. > :44:21.travelling to Parliament, unaware of what events

:44:22. > :44:27.were about to unfold before them. During the incident,

:44:28. > :44:30.they were on lockdown in Parliament, but refused to let

:44:31. > :44:33.their moods be dampened. Instead, they sang songs

:44:34. > :44:37.to help raise spirits - a moment of humanity

:44:38. > :44:42.among the terror. There is a press conference

:44:43. > :44:55.happening right now. We are collating the walking

:44:56. > :45:00.wounded. Seven are still in hospital. PC Keith Palmer sadly

:45:01. > :45:06.died, two members of the public, a woman in her mid- 40s and a man in

:45:07. > :45:10.his mid- 50s. The fork man of course was the terrorist who was shot dead

:45:11. > :45:13.by armed police at the scene. Hundreds of detectives have been

:45:14. > :45:16.working through the night and during that time, I can confirm we have

:45:17. > :45:22.searched six addresses and made seven arrests. The enquiries in

:45:23. > :45:28.Birmingham and London and other parts of the country are continuing.

:45:29. > :45:33.It is still our belief which is borne out by our investigations that

:45:34. > :45:37.this attacker acted alone and was inspired by international terrorism.

:45:38. > :45:42.To be explicit, at this stage, no specific information about further

:45:43. > :45:46.threats to the public. The investigation is ongoing, developing

:45:47. > :45:52.all the time and we continue to hope there is motivation, preparation and

:45:53. > :45:55.his associates will come to light. We recognise you, the media are

:45:56. > :46:00.making progress in identifying the attacker but I would ask that his

:46:01. > :46:02.name is not published at this sensitive stage of the

:46:03. > :46:08.investigation, still conducting searches and arrests. This large and

:46:09. > :46:12.complicated crime scene remains in place and our work continues and I

:46:13. > :46:16.would like to thank everybody to their support and patience. As

:46:17. > :46:21.people return to the streets of the capital this morning, they will see

:46:22. > :46:26.more officers on duty and a mix of Metropolitan police, British

:46:27. > :46:31.transport and the City of London. We have increased our duty hours and

:46:32. > :46:35.are working to make sure we can reassure the public that London can

:46:36. > :46:40.go about its normal business. We must not allow terrorists to sow

:46:41. > :46:44.discord and fear in our city. The police will stand with all

:46:45. > :46:48.communities and later today at Scotland Yard, there is a meeting of

:46:49. > :46:51.APEC leaders coming together. While our work to investigate and

:46:52. > :46:57.understand what happened yesterday will continue with vigor, we must

:46:58. > :47:00.also reflect and I want to thank the public to their support and good

:47:01. > :47:04.wishes. I know it is appreciated by all our men and women out there

:47:05. > :47:09.protecting us. Finally I would like to ask the public to their continued

:47:10. > :47:14.help and vigilance and again I say that anything you see which causes

:47:15. > :47:23.concern, please trust your instinct and don't hesitate to call us. The

:47:24. > :47:28.terrorism hotline or in an emergency call 999. I will take some

:47:29. > :47:36.questions. Have you been getting emails and pictures from the public?

:47:37. > :47:41.We have CCTV from the scene. Part of the piecing together what happened

:47:42. > :47:46.will come from that. Were you able to identify the attacker? Can you

:47:47. > :47:51.confirm whether he was a British national? I'm not saying anything

:47:52. > :47:56.more at this stage and I will not identify those who have been killed.

:47:57. > :47:59.There are a mix of nationalities so we are liaising with host countries

:48:00. > :48:04.and nationalities and announcing on television is not a good way. What

:48:05. > :48:09.happened in Birmingham urbanite? I've said as much as I will. I've

:48:10. > :48:13.talked about six addresses, seven arrests. I've talked about activity

:48:14. > :48:18.in London, Birmingham and elsewhere in the country. As our investigation

:48:19. > :48:31.continues, I don't want more details. Is there a committed -- who

:48:32. > :48:40.is the commissioner in charge? Craig Matthew, the acting to missing --

:48:41. > :48:42.commissioner. We have an investigative team doing the work.

:48:43. > :48:52.Any other questions? You will see the closure is

:48:53. > :48:56.restricting at the moment. Some final searches to do around

:48:57. > :49:07.Parliament Square. Normal business today. So business as normal in

:49:08. > :49:10.London? Yes, a bit of disruption around Westminster as you would

:49:11. > :49:16.understand and more police officers on the streets reassuring the

:49:17. > :49:21.public. One last question. Any more information on the condition of the

:49:22. > :49:26.police officers who are injured? We have seven people in hospital who

:49:27. > :49:32.are in critical condition. Thank you for your patience and your time.

:49:33. > :49:39.That is the very latest from new Scotland Yard. The casualties, seven

:49:40. > :49:43.in critical condition. Also looking at some of the developments in terms

:49:44. > :49:49.of the police investigation. We know about six addresses and seven

:49:50. > :49:56.arrests made and no specific information on further threats. That

:49:57. > :50:00.is the main point coming out of a press conference in the last few

:50:01. > :50:09.minutes. Not being drawn on the nationality of the attacker but

:50:10. > :50:12.confirming, extra police out on the streets and restrictions around

:50:13. > :50:20.Westminster continue to remain in place. Also, not much more detail on

:50:21. > :50:27.the help of people who are injured. That is something that we will be

:50:28. > :50:32.hearing later on today. We are trying to speak to people in the

:50:33. > :50:36.approach to Westminster. That is the security zone behind us. Lindsay

:50:37. > :50:42.Hoyle is with us, the deck in -- Deputy Speaker. Can you give us a

:50:43. > :50:51.sense of what will be happening as you understand now? As you expect,

:50:52. > :51:01.we are in the village. A policeman has been murdered. We must continue.

:51:02. > :51:04.We will not give in to terrorism and we will continue and pay tribute in

:51:05. > :51:08.the house will continue with its business. We see MPs on the

:51:09. > :51:13.television every day shouting at each other, everything looks quite

:51:14. > :51:17.mean but Westminster, it is a village, it is a family. You walk

:51:18. > :51:23.past those people every day. You know their faces and their names.

:51:24. > :51:31.Absolutely. They are there to defend democracy. Protecting members of

:51:32. > :51:42.Parliament. PCs were part of our village. The house was united closed

:51:43. > :51:47.the chamber down. MPs were together and everybody was very concerned

:51:48. > :51:55.about the innocent victims and what was going on. What we do know is the

:51:56. > :52:04.security worked well. Many people have seen that moment in the

:52:05. > :52:13.Commons. Just talked us through what information you had. As events were

:52:14. > :52:22.unfolding. There is a very serious incident. The chamber was closed

:52:23. > :52:27.down. We were in complete lockdown. That is the way it should work. And

:52:28. > :52:31.it worked very effectively. The staff of the House of Commons, the

:52:32. > :52:36.doorkeepers, everybody involved are they came as one to make sure they

:52:37. > :52:43.were safe. The police took control and that is as it should be. I am

:52:44. > :52:47.going to thank everybody involved. The commander took over and worked

:52:48. > :52:56.very effectively. That is the way it should be. Not just MPs. He had

:52:57. > :53:00.children in school trips. That is what it is like in the Palace of

:53:01. > :53:05.Westminster. What was it like during lockdown? When you're in lockdown,

:53:06. > :53:13.it is a strange place to be. You are getting information by mobile phone.

:53:14. > :53:20.We were getting information. I was a concerned about it. A lot of stuff

:53:21. > :53:25.in offices. Members needing to contact staff. There were children

:53:26. > :53:30.in the chamber. I've got to say, everybody was very professional in

:53:31. > :53:34.the way they dealt with it and the way they responded. We couldn't ask

:53:35. > :53:39.for a better way. The head of security, worked very well. We got

:53:40. > :53:45.to protect the visitors as you point out. Many thousands of visitors. We

:53:46. > :53:53.must protect them in the same weight we protect MPs. A number of

:53:54. > :53:59.developments. As we were chatting, seven people arrested. In London and

:54:00. > :54:06.Birmingham. A police operation is under way. Here at Westminster, we

:54:07. > :54:09.have a security operation. I am seeing there are trucks arriving

:54:10. > :54:17.here with concrete blocks on them. What do you know about how things

:54:18. > :54:20.have been escalated in of security? We will be having an emergency

:54:21. > :54:25.meeting and getting information. What else needs to be put in place

:54:26. > :54:30.and we will reflect, not instantly. We've got to take on board what has

:54:31. > :54:36.happened. Of course, we've got to look after both houses. This was a

:54:37. > :54:41.threat to everybody yesterday. It is another one we had to take

:54:42. > :54:46.seriously. One thing I can -- you can be sure of, terrorism will not

:54:47. > :54:51.defeat of democracy. How will MPs react? How will they be feeling,

:54:52. > :54:56.going back into this, walking to a crime scene to go back today. Now

:54:57. > :55:03.it's business as usual, but today, it's not business as usual. What I

:55:04. > :55:07.will say, it is a hobbled day for members. We've got to get on but

:55:08. > :55:12.terrorism will not defeat the House of Commons and democracy. We got a

:55:13. > :55:17.lot to go out there, not just the members before the start of the

:55:18. > :55:22.house. People who have witnessed things. That support is in place and

:55:23. > :55:30.will be used to make sure everybody feels reassured. How do you help

:55:31. > :55:34.those people now? We have it set up, we have the well-being in

:55:35. > :55:39.Parliament. It is therefore members but also staff. Staff are locked in

:55:40. > :55:47.their offices. Members were with members. Individual officers were in

:55:48. > :55:51.lockdown. We have a duty of care to everybody within the house and we

:55:52. > :55:58.have to look after them and got to say, the Speaker takes seriously. We

:55:59. > :56:08.worked together for the benefit of everyone. Absolutely. I may have a

:56:09. > :56:14.busy day ahead. Thank you very much. Best of luck today. This is a

:56:15. > :56:19.special programme on BBC Breakfast. We try to speak to people. Some MPs

:56:20. > :56:29.will be arriving a little later on. Just to give you a sense of what's

:56:30. > :56:32.happening here. We've had a police press conference from new Scotland

:56:33. > :56:38.Yard in the last few minutes. We will keep you up-to-date. We know

:56:39. > :56:43.there have been a number of arrests and a number of addresses have been

:56:44. > :56:48.raided as well. Of course, we will keep you right up-to-date with all

:56:49. > :56:52.the developments and I think we can show you some of the images here.

:56:53. > :57:01.Many people paying tribute to those who have lost their lives. Including

:57:02. > :57:07.a police officer. He lost his life protecting those at the house. In

:57:08. > :57:12.the last few moments, some have arrived here near us just to lay

:57:13. > :57:15.flowers and that is something we may see more of. Some people arriving,

:57:16. > :57:20.wanting to pay their respects and remember what happened here

:57:21. > :57:28.yesterday to that police officer who was killed tragically simply doing

:57:29. > :00:49.We'll have more. Plenty more news, be back shortly. Type

:00:50. > :01:31.We'll have more. Plenty more news, travel, and weather on the website.

:01:32. > :01:38.This is a special programme with Charlie Stayt and Sally Nugent live

:01:39. > :01:42.from Westminster. Parliament will sit today less than 24 hours after a

:01:43. > :01:48.terror attack on the heart of British democracy.

:01:49. > :01:50.An attacker drove into crowds of people on the bridge -

:01:51. > :01:53.just down the river there - before stabbing to death

:01:54. > :01:56.a police officer outside the Palace of Westminster -

:01:57. > :02:07.he's now been named as PC Keith Palmer.

:02:08. > :02:13.We have searched six addresses and made seven arrests. The enquiries in

:02:14. > :02:20.Birmingham and other parts of the country are continuing.

:02:21. > :02:28.Seven people remain critically ill in hospitals in London and admitted

:02:29. > :02:30.the horrors of what happened yesterday, high praise for the

:02:31. > :02:44.heroism of the emergency services and medical staff.

:02:45. > :02:51.Good morning, it's Thursday the 23rd of March.

:02:52. > :02:58.There are new developments in the ongoing investigation to tell you

:02:59. > :02:59.about. Police have confirmed raids carried out in Birmingham are

:03:00. > :03:03.connected to the Westminster attack. Both houses of Parliament

:03:04. > :03:07.will operate as normal today The Prime Minister is expected

:03:08. > :03:21.to make a statement to the Commons. Much more live from Westminster

:03:22. > :03:26.coming up. Now the weather. Some are starting on a wet note that

:03:27. > :03:29.the rain Blue Peter out in the next couple of hours

:03:30. > :03:46.it will be a dry and sunny day. -- it will peter out. We are bringing

:03:47. > :03:56.you the latest on the investigation. The police officer stabbed to death

:03:57. > :04:00.in the attack at Westminster. In the last 15, 20 minutes we have the

:04:01. > :04:02.latest press conference. The Acting Deputy Commissioner. Let's hear what

:04:03. > :04:13.he had to say. There are four dead and 29 people

:04:14. > :04:18.treated in hospital and we are collating the numbers of walking

:04:19. > :04:23.wounded. Seven of those in hospital sadly are still in critical

:04:24. > :04:28.condition. The deaths included PC Keith Palmer, two members of the

:04:29. > :04:33.public, a woman in her mid-40s and a man in his mid-50s. The fourth man

:04:34. > :04:38.of course was the terrorist shot dead by armed police at the scene.

:04:39. > :04:43.Hundreds of detectives have worked through the night and during that

:04:44. > :04:46.time I can confirm we have searched six addresses and made seven

:04:47. > :04:53.arrests. The enquiries in Birmingham and other parts of the country are

:04:54. > :05:00.continuing. It is our belief that this attacker acted alone and was

:05:01. > :05:04.inspired by international terrorism. To be explicit, at this stage we

:05:05. > :05:10.have no specific information about further threats to the public. The

:05:11. > :05:13.investigation is ongoing and developing and we focus on his

:05:14. > :05:17.motivation, preparation and associates. I recognise that the

:05:18. > :05:41.media are making progress in identifying... That was the Deputy

:05:42. > :05:48.Commissioner you were listening to. The main points that seven, six

:05:49. > :05:56.addresses raided overnight. Seven arrests. Keeping you up-to-date this

:05:57. > :06:05.morning and there have been developments including arrests. We

:06:06. > :06:10.have the latest from Birmingham. The road was cordoned off after 11pm.

:06:11. > :06:16.There was a large police presence in this flat, just behind me. The flat

:06:17. > :06:20.was raided by police. Three men were led out. It is not clear whether

:06:21. > :06:26.they were arrested or taken for questioning but when we called West

:06:27. > :06:32.Midlands Police to ask them what the operation was about, they said that

:06:33. > :06:36.it was to do with Scotland Yard. We called Scotland Yard and they said

:06:37. > :06:41.they could not comment but what we can confirm this morning is there is

:06:42. > :06:45.a link between what happened last night and what happened in

:06:46. > :06:51.Westminster yesterday. What we can tell you is we believe the car used

:06:52. > :06:55.in the attack in Westminster was hired from here, in Birmingham.

:06:56. > :07:07.Thank you. 40 people were injured yesterday,

:07:08. > :07:12.some of them with terrible injuries, described by the police. Many are

:07:13. > :07:16.treated in hospitals across London. Eight have been treated at the major

:07:17. > :07:25.trauma centre at Kings College Hospital where we join John. Any

:07:26. > :07:31.updates John? No specific updates on the number of people treated at

:07:32. > :07:35.King's College. We know those treated across hospitals in London,

:07:36. > :07:40.many people taken to hospitals across this part of London yesterday

:07:41. > :07:45.afternoon, there are seven people still critically ill in hospital.

:07:46. > :07:51.Seven people extremely ill after the attacks. Eight people were brought

:07:52. > :07:55.here, six men, two within an two were said to be critically injured

:07:56. > :08:00.and police say other victims from the bridge last night, there were

:08:01. > :08:06.three police officers injured, two seriously. Those that have been

:08:07. > :08:13.going to a commendation ceremony. He was struck by images by certain

:08:14. > :08:19.images that stay with you. So many people we saw running, members of

:08:20. > :08:25.the public, parliamentarians, advised to run away from the danger

:08:26. > :08:29.whereas the emergency services ran towards. Nobody knew whether a

:08:30. > :08:36.second attack was imminent that they put the lives of others before them.

:08:37. > :08:40.In Palace Yard where PC Palmer was treated, where resuscitation

:08:41. > :08:48.procedures were gone through, also medical staff treated the attacker.

:08:49. > :08:53.They gave him that respect, they put the sanctity of life above anything

:08:54. > :08:55.else, they put their duty first, which of course is something he had

:08:56. > :09:08.not done just half an hour before. Thanks for the latest information.

:09:09. > :09:17.The many casualties, who are being treated in hospitals across London.

:09:18. > :09:21.We can show you some of the images of the area immediately surrounding

:09:22. > :09:26.the House of Commons. It is a strange atmosphere. We are outside

:09:27. > :09:30.the security cordon, and it is busy where we are, but quiet on

:09:31. > :09:37.Westminster Bridge and the immediate surroundings of Westminster. Some

:09:38. > :09:42.parts are effectively a crime scene. This is the Bridge, the scene

:09:43. > :09:48.yesterday, of so much chaos. We heard updated figures and know there

:09:49. > :09:55.were 40 people injured as the car careered across the bridge. As you

:09:56. > :09:58.can see, very quiet this morning. We have been joined this morning by

:09:59. > :10:05.various people who were here yesterday, for whom this is their

:10:06. > :10:10.place of work and one of them joint is, political commentator, Quentin

:10:11. > :10:15.Letts, use or events. I did not see the stuff on the bridge and I am

:10:16. > :10:20.very glad I did not but I have an office overlooking the area where

:10:21. > :10:24.the attacker came into the Parliamentary precinct. I heard the

:10:25. > :10:28.car hitting the railings and I saw members of the public fleeing in

:10:29. > :10:32.terror, looking over their shoulders, running towards

:10:33. > :10:38.Westminster Abbey. There was this lone figure running in through the

:10:39. > :10:54.gates and set about a policeman who had fallen over on the ground. And

:10:55. > :10:57.unarmed Bobby. I saw the attacker slowly running, towards Parliament,

:10:58. > :11:06.and this was happening quickly, about ten seconds and two nonuniform

:11:07. > :11:11.people came out and challenged the attacker and he ignored their

:11:12. > :11:17.challenge and they shot him. It is shocking to hear you talk about it.

:11:18. > :11:23.It must've been terrifying to watch. It was not terrifying to watch, it

:11:24. > :11:27.was peculiar to watch, it seemed to have a clockwork, mechanical quality

:11:28. > :11:32.and although the story today is about this disgraceful attack and

:11:33. > :11:37.terrible injuries and the of innocent people, it is worth bearing

:11:38. > :11:42.in mind, the defences of Parliament and our institution have worked to a

:11:43. > :11:46.large extent and within ten seconds of this man getting into the

:11:47. > :11:52.Parliamentary precinct, he was looking down the sharp end of a gun.

:11:53. > :11:58.PC Keith Palmer was the police officer who died. Many people paying

:11:59. > :12:03.tribute. You come in and out of this building all the time. There is

:12:04. > :12:09.always the dilemma between the level of security and access the public

:12:10. > :12:13.will have. Our political commentators said today the public

:12:14. > :12:18.will once again he allowed into the gallery as a matter of principle. It

:12:19. > :12:26.is terribly important. I watched this as someone who need not worry

:12:27. > :12:30.too much for their safety because of people like PC Palmer who do their

:12:31. > :12:35.job but it is important for citizens that the parliament to be opened.

:12:36. > :12:40.The reason what we are as a democracy is people can see

:12:41. > :12:45.Parliament as something they belong to and own, and if it becomes cut

:12:46. > :12:49.off from those people by security measures that are too tight I think

:12:50. > :12:53.we lose something. I do not think the authorities will allow it to

:12:54. > :13:01.happen. They will be measured in their response and ensure officers

:13:02. > :13:09.at the gate have proper armaments. We must take pride in our

:13:10. > :13:13.Parliament. Good luck with your day. Will you go about a normal day? Back

:13:14. > :13:22.to the House of Commons, back watching those politicians. We are

:13:23. > :13:26.trying to speak to various MPs, commentators, members of the public

:13:27. > :13:32.who will be passing through. To give you a sense of where we are, this is

:13:33. > :13:37.the security, outer area of the security zone where we are. The

:13:38. > :13:43.bridge and immediate surroundings of Westminster are effectively a crime

:13:44. > :13:47.scene and indeed in the last 45 minutes we have been updated from

:13:48. > :13:50.New Scotland Yard about the scale of the investigation. There have been

:13:51. > :13:56.arrests in London and also in Birmingham. That is the image you

:13:57. > :14:03.can see of Westminster Bridge itself. A total of four macro people

:14:04. > :14:09.are confirmed this morning to have died in events yesterday afternoon.

:14:10. > :14:14.The investigation has moved overnight and police are still

:14:15. > :14:18.encouraging, urging anyone with any information about the events of

:14:19. > :14:25.yesterday in Westminster to get in touch with them. Members of the

:14:26. > :14:34.public are asked to call a specific hotline. 0800 789 321. That is the

:14:35. > :14:39.number if people want to report anything suspicious they may have

:14:40. > :14:44.spotted. Do forgive us, it is very noisy but there is a police

:14:45. > :14:49.helicopter overhead and security is incredibly tight. There are sirens.

:14:50. > :14:53.Police vehicles everywhere. It is supposed to be a normal day here

:14:54. > :15:03.today but it does not feel like it today. We are joined now by Brendan

:15:04. > :15:08.Cox. We are joined by Brendan Cox. Just give us a sense of where your

:15:09. > :15:12.thoughts are. The important thing in the aftermath of something like this

:15:13. > :15:20.is to remember the people, the victims, the people that responded.

:15:21. > :15:26.Yesterday, there was one act of evil, but there were thousands of

:15:27. > :15:31.acts of kindness and heroism from PC Palmer for example, who put his life

:15:32. > :15:35.on the line and died defending people, to the people that were

:15:36. > :15:40.helping people on the bridge, and I think at a moment like this,

:15:41. > :15:43.remembering those stories, and remembering the people that died.

:15:44. > :15:46.One of the reasons that people do these things is to gain notoriety,

:15:47. > :15:49.they want to make a name for themselves, and I think that one of

:15:50. > :15:54.the things we should do is to make sure we keep the emphasis not on

:15:55. > :15:58.them, I did care what the name was the person that killed Jo or the's

:15:59. > :16:01.did this, I want to remember the person that I loved, and just

:16:02. > :16:05.remembering this first and foremost as this impact on individual

:16:06. > :16:12.people's lives should be at the front of our minds today. When Jo

:16:13. > :16:14.was murdered, there was a tremendous sense throughout Westminster and the

:16:15. > :16:22.whole of the Parliamentary Bilic here, a sense of shock and

:16:23. > :16:24.disbelief, but I don't think -- the Parliamentary village. I don't think

:16:25. > :16:28.people thought that MPs were more under threat than usual. Does

:16:29. > :16:35.yesterday make our MPs feel less safe? I'm sure some MPs feel less

:16:36. > :16:40.safe as a result of yesterday but I also know that they will be resolute

:16:41. > :16:45.that it doesn't change who we are or how our country operates. We know we

:16:46. > :16:48.can't stop people with a car attacking pedestrians, no way we can

:16:49. > :16:51.prevent that. On a security response, we have to take on the

:16:52. > :16:56.people that did this but the way that we do it is partly by security,

:16:57. > :17:00.but it is also by bringing our communities together. In the

:17:01. > :17:03.aftermath of something like this, we have to remember that the person

:17:04. > :17:13.that did this, if they were motivated by extremist Islamist, as

:17:14. > :17:22.with the spec, it is no way more rep -- representative of British Muslim

:17:23. > :17:25.Awards than the person -- British Islam than the person who murdered

:17:26. > :17:31.my wife was representative of Yorkshire. It is extremism. We have

:17:32. > :17:34.spoken to the eyewitnesses yesterday who particularly on the bridge said

:17:35. > :17:39.the first reaction of people was to go to the assistance of those many

:17:40. > :17:43.people who at that point were in a desperate situation. And that is

:17:44. > :17:48.something that many people will hold dear. Yes, and it is something we

:17:49. > :17:52.should remember at a moment like this, that that act of evil

:17:53. > :18:00.yesterday doesn't characterise what our country is. Those thousands of

:18:01. > :18:04.people helping, who are now praying for, thinking of the families, that

:18:05. > :18:07.is what our country is, and at a moments like this, I think it is a

:18:08. > :18:13.portal we come together to remember who we are, that we don't -- it is

:18:14. > :18:17.important we come together, we will keep them and we have to do that

:18:18. > :18:20.together. I am interested to know what you think, there are probably

:18:21. > :18:25.people watching us at home, getting their kids ready for school, having

:18:26. > :18:30.watched all of this on the news this morning. You have had to tell your

:18:31. > :18:35.children the worst news imaginable, the most difficult thing to

:18:36. > :18:38.communicate to them. How do we educate our children and our

:18:39. > :18:43.families when bad things like this happen? What do we say to them? I

:18:44. > :18:46.think it is important to be open with them when you can because they

:18:47. > :18:50.will hear about these things. They hear about it at school. I was

:18:51. > :18:53.talking to my son about what happened yesterday and for him, it

:18:54. > :18:59.has even more residents and is more disturbing. But I think that sense

:19:00. > :19:03.of saying that these people are extremists and do not represent who

:19:04. > :19:07.we are, that they are safe and they are secure, and that those actions

:19:08. > :19:17.of a tiny minority are seen as a tiny minority. What we don't want to

:19:18. > :19:20.do is to allow our kids to feel unsafe or insecure, to suggest that

:19:21. > :19:24.they are in some way threatened, but to say this is a tiny minority of

:19:25. > :19:28.people and we can and will the feet them and we will do that together.

:19:29. > :19:35.Brendan Cox, it is lovely to speak to you this morning. You are joining

:19:36. > :19:38.us live this morning at a very busy and noisy Westminster, in sharp

:19:39. > :19:44.contrast where we are now just on the outskirts of the security area,

:19:45. > :19:49.it is very calm and very quiet in what is effectively a crime scene

:19:50. > :19:52.much closer to the Palace itself. We are going to take a break for a

:19:53. > :19:53.moment from here and bring you up-to-date with the weather with

:19:54. > :20:01.Carol. There is some rain in the forecast

:20:02. > :20:05.but as we go through the cause of the day, it'll brighten up. The rain

:20:06. > :20:11.will fizzle out for most of us in the next couple of hours, the sun

:20:12. > :20:16.will come out and it will a fairly pleasant spring day. This weather

:20:17. > :20:21.front will move across the Bay of Biscay and some rain across southern

:20:22. > :20:24.coastal counties. This morning, the rain continuing the edge in through

:20:25. > :20:27.Wales and the south-west, turning more patchy in nature, easing from

:20:28. > :20:31.northern England, southern Scotland and Northern Ireland, the cloud

:20:32. > :20:34.breaking in the sun coming out. The breeze in the North will also ease

:20:35. > :20:40.in the south, as the rain approaches the win will start to strengthen.

:20:41. > :20:43.Into the afternoon, for East Anglia, Essex and Kent, we can expect some

:20:44. > :20:49.sunny spells. For the Channel Islands, heading in through Dorset

:20:50. > :20:52.all the way towards Cornwall, we are looking at some rain and a

:20:53. > :20:56.strengthening wind. For Wales, there will be one or two showers left

:20:57. > :21:01.behind but essentially for most of Wales it is going to be a dry day

:21:02. > :21:03.with some sunshine. And across Northern Ireland after this

:21:04. > :21:09.morning's patchy rain clears, there will be some cloud but equally will

:21:10. > :21:12.cease in sunny breaks. For Scotland, it is the Northern Isles can

:21:13. > :21:18.particularly across Shetland, where we see some showers. Coming south

:21:19. > :21:21.across northern England, into the North Midlands, again we are back

:21:22. > :21:26.into that sunshine. Through the evening and overnight, we will be

:21:27. > :21:30.prone to seeing some rain across southern coastal counties, windy

:21:31. > :21:33.here as well. North of that, from the North Midlands northwards, we

:21:34. > :21:36.will have some clearer skies, so the temperature will tumble, and it

:21:37. > :21:43.represents towns and cities in rural areas. Braemar, we could have -6 or

:21:44. > :21:47.minus eight. A frosty start in the north tomorrow morning but case

:21:48. > :21:52.anyone. Still some rain affecting parts of the Northern Isles. Further

:21:53. > :21:58.south, we lose the morning rain, there will be a hand back of cloud.

:21:59. > :22:04.For many of us tomorrow will be a dry day and a fairly pleasant spring

:22:05. > :22:10.one, temperatures between ten and 13 Celsius. For Saturday, a cold one,

:22:11. > :22:14.some will see some frost but largely dry but we do have a nagging

:22:15. > :22:18.easterly wind coming from the near continent, which will really make it

:22:19. > :22:21.feel cooler than these temperatures in the south are suggesting, but

:22:22. > :22:26.still we are looking at 13 to 15 Celsius. In the early hours of

:22:27. > :22:29.Sunday morning, the clocks go forward, heralding the arrival of

:22:30. > :22:34.British summertime and of course Mother's Day. On Sunday itself that

:22:35. > :22:37.will be a nippy start, Scotland, Northern Ireland, parts of Wales and

:22:38. > :22:42.the South seeing some sunshine but at times a bit more cloud coming in

:22:43. > :22:44.from the west. Temperature range about ten to 14 Celsius, high

:22:45. > :22:46.pressure is firmly in charge of our weather by then and it looks like it

:22:47. > :22:58.will continue into next week. Carol, thank you very much indeed.

:22:59. > :23:01.You are joining us with this special programme from the heart of

:23:02. > :23:06.Westminster this morning as close as we can get to it. We are at the end

:23:07. > :23:09.of the court, as you can see behind us, the Palace of Westminster is in

:23:10. > :23:15.the distance and the flag at half-mast this morning. A number of

:23:16. > :23:18.developments, we have had a press conference from New Scotland Yard,

:23:19. > :23:21.Frank Gardner is at the studio for us this morning. Just take us

:23:22. > :23:28.through what we have learned this morning from the various briefings.

:23:29. > :23:32.Shore. There have been six addresses searched, seven arrests, and those

:23:33. > :23:38.are in London, Birmingham and elsewhere, according to the Met

:23:39. > :23:42.police. They don't yet want to talk about the identity of the attacker,

:23:43. > :23:46.and the police are well aware that we, the media, are trying to

:23:47. > :23:49.identify this person, that is what the media do, and he is asking the

:23:50. > :23:53.media to hold off that for the moment while they carry out their

:23:54. > :23:56.investigations, and these are going to be very compact, they are looking

:23:57. > :23:59.at where the car came from, who worked was hired from, which

:24:00. > :24:05.conversations this man had with anybody before he left Birmingham.

:24:06. > :24:10.The victims are not being identified yet, but we were given their ages,

:24:11. > :24:15.and a brief description, but other than PC Keith Palmer, who was

:24:16. > :24:25.stabbed to death, they are not actually naming the victims. Frank,

:24:26. > :24:31.our location here, just outside the security cordon, but Westminster

:24:32. > :24:34.Bridge itself and the immediate surroundings to the Commons are

:24:35. > :24:38.effectively a crime scene, and we know there have been a number of

:24:39. > :24:45.police raids elsewhere in the country and here in London. Yeah, I

:24:46. > :24:49.mean, the phrase loan wharf is a bit misleading, because even if it is

:24:50. > :24:56.just one person carrying out the attack -- the phrase lone wolf. They

:24:57. > :24:59.would have been radicalised by someone or something, often over the

:25:00. > :25:04.internets from Syria or from stuff they have read or seen, often from

:25:05. > :25:10.peer groups, in some cases even having travelled to the Middle East.

:25:11. > :25:14.So they are working on the basis that this is an Islamic state

:25:15. > :25:19.inspired attack, they want to know every body this person has spoken

:25:20. > :25:24.to. I am getting the feeling that he is somebody who was probably on the

:25:25. > :25:29.radar but not very high up it, and that is the problem. There are over

:25:30. > :25:32.3000 people that the police and MI5 are aware that this country with

:25:33. > :25:35.jihadists sympathies, probably a great deal more they don't know

:25:36. > :25:41.about. They can't watch all of them, all of the time. Frank, for the

:25:42. > :25:45.moment, thank you. We have been talking to many people who work in

:25:46. > :25:48.the Palace of Westminster, MPs who work in the House of Commons. Of

:25:49. > :25:56.course yesterday when this attack took place, the bridge was busy with

:25:57. > :25:58.people from all over the world, parties of schoolchildren, tourists,

:25:59. > :26:04.people from all over the world have been hurt in this attack yesterday.

:26:05. > :26:06.We know in fact there was one school trip, a group of French

:26:07. > :26:11.schoolchildren caught up in the attack and we can go now to our

:26:12. > :26:19.correspondence Lucy Williamson who is in Brittany for us. What can you

:26:20. > :26:24.tell us? This school behind me, the Saint Josephs school, is where the

:26:25. > :26:28.pupils came from. They were on a language trip to London, about 90

:26:29. > :26:31.pupils were there, although not all of them were on the bridge at the

:26:32. > :26:35.time, and you can see behind me the policeman here this morning at the

:26:36. > :26:40.gates greeting their colleagues as they turn up to be briefed by the

:26:41. > :26:43.headteacher, and be offered psychological support. We have been

:26:44. > :26:46.speaking to a couple of those pupils, who say there was a real

:26:47. > :26:51.sense of shock last night, people very panicked. This is a small town

:26:52. > :26:54.in Brittany, and despite what France has been through over the last

:26:55. > :26:59.couple of years, I think people here really aren't as prepared as those

:27:00. > :27:04.perhaps in Paris or Nice might be, so there was a real sense of shock,

:27:05. > :27:10.people trying to contact their friends, trying to absorb what had

:27:11. > :27:13.happened. For now, thank you very much, Lucy Williamson, live in

:27:14. > :27:17.Brittany at the school for us. For the moment, that is it from

:27:18. > :27:20.Westminster. A number of MPs arriving now as they head into the

:27:21. > :27:24.Commons. Theresa may making the point that the Commons will be

:27:25. > :27:26.sitting today. We will be speaking to some of those people in just a

:27:27. > :30:55.few minutes time, but right now, Hello, this is Breakfast

:30:56. > :31:13.with Charlie Stayt and Sally we are reflecting on the events

:31:14. > :31:15.after the attack of yesterday, and updating you very much on the

:31:16. > :31:19.ongoing investigation. There are updates within the last hour or so.

:31:20. > :31:21.Scotland Yard have confirmed that they have made

:31:22. > :31:23.seven arrests in connection with yesterday's

:31:24. > :31:33.They confirmed ball people including the attacker are now known to have

:31:34. > :31:36.died, and we will hear a bit more of that press conference in a few

:31:37. > :31:40.minutes. -- four people are known to have

:31:41. > :31:45.died. We are joined by Michael Fallon MP, your job eventually today

:31:46. > :31:49.is to turn up and do your job as an MP as you would any other day. Yes,

:31:50. > :31:55.let me confirm that Parliament will be meeting as normal just like any

:31:56. > :31:56.other Thursday and we will carry on as business as usual, the Prime

:31:57. > :32:18.Minister will make a statement later on, but I

:32:19. > :32:20.should emphasise that London is getting back to work as normal, our

:32:21. > :32:22.schoolchildren here in Westminster are going to school, school trips

:32:23. > :32:25.are still going ahead, people are going to their offices and jobs,

:32:26. > :32:28.London is getting back to normal. They have seen Terrorism Act this

:32:29. > :32:30.before and will not let it dry up. To get a scale of the security

:32:31. > :32:32.operation here in Westminster but also hearing about the wider police

:32:33. > :32:34.investigation, there is a major police investigation and security

:32:35. > :32:36.operation going on simultaneously. Yes, obviously a major police

:32:37. > :32:39.investigation to find out who this attacker was, how we got hold of the

:32:40. > :32:43.vehicle, where the vehicle has been, whether he had associates, whether

:32:44. > :32:46.anybody else was involved, that operation has been going on since

:32:47. > :32:50.yesterday afternoon and right through the night, that is a

:32:51. > :32:59.standard police investigation but obviously a very large operation

:33:00. > :33:02.with a lot of resources devoted to it. What happens now? I know you

:33:03. > :33:04.were very much involved in the meetings last night, what happens at

:33:05. > :33:08.that highest level and how much information are you given by the

:33:09. > :33:12.police? When an incident like this occurs, the Prime Minister calls a

:33:13. > :33:16.meeting of the Cobra emergency committee, that took place last

:33:17. > :33:22.night. We review the intelligence that we have, what is known about

:33:23. > :33:26.the incident, then the operational details and support that is needed

:33:27. > :33:30.for the police, further back-up and resources that they need, what the

:33:31. > :33:34.implications of the attack are and how it should be handled, that

:33:35. > :33:38.meeting took place last night and obviously that work continues. For

:33:39. > :33:52.many people, today, their thoughts will be with the police officer, PC

:33:53. > :33:55.Keith Palmer, who lost his life, and the civilians who lost their lives

:33:56. > :33:57.yesterday. All our thoughts will be with those, particularly those from

:33:58. > :33:57.abroad who were badly injured, others who

:33:58. > :34:01.lost their lives, but we should also pay tribute to PC Keith Palmer, who

:34:02. > :34:06.lost his life defending democracy. He stopped the attack are getting

:34:07. > :34:08.into Parliament, getting into MPs who were voting, where the Prime

:34:09. > :34:12.Minister was present, he stopped that attack are getting through and

:34:13. > :34:17.very sadly gave his life for the democracy that we cherish. How on

:34:18. > :34:22.earth do you stop someone, do you prevent attacks like this, an attack

:34:23. > :34:25.which was essentially a car and a knife? You cannot legislate for

:34:26. > :34:49.that, can you? No, it is much more difficult, this kind of

:34:50. > :34:52.terrorism, for the security services. It is worth saying it is

:34:53. > :34:55.harder in this country to get hold of arms and that is perhaps why the

:34:56. > :34:57.attacker used a vehicle or a knife, but there have been similar plots

:34:58. > :35:00.before that our agencies have managed to stall and they are

:35:01. > :35:01.extremely vigilant, work very hard on our behalf tracking potential

:35:02. > :35:04.terrorists, people returning from Iraq and Syria, and making sure

:35:05. > :35:07.that, as far as possible, we can see what is likely to happen and stop

:35:08. > :35:10.it. As you are talking to us, we can look at the image, the wider shot

:35:11. > :35:14.from Westminster, and we can see behind us as we look, the flag is

:35:15. > :35:19.flying at half-mast. Just a thought for us on what the mood will be here

:35:20. > :35:24.today? The mood in Parliament will be pretty sombre. We have lost one

:35:25. > :35:27.of our own Parliamentary police officers who we talked to every

:35:28. > :35:31.morning going in and out of parliament, he gave his life to

:35:32. > :35:36.protect Parliament, so that will be sombre, but I think you will also

:35:37. > :35:41.find a determination that this was an attack on parliament for a

:35:42. > :35:42.reason. We come together at Parliament to debate and discuss

:35:43. > :35:58.very sharp differences, but we do so respectfully and we do so together,

:35:59. > :36:01.that is not what terrorists believing, that is not what they

:36:02. > :36:03.want. It is no accident this was an attack on parliament and I think you

:36:04. > :36:06.will find a very real determination and solidarity that we reinforce the

:36:07. > :36:08.values that keep us together. Michael Fallon, thank you very much

:36:09. > :36:11.for your time, I know you have people waiting for you and other

:36:12. > :36:13.places to be, thank you for your time on BBC Breakfast, good luck

:36:14. > :36:16.with your day. Let's bring you up to date with the

:36:17. > :36:21.development in terms of the police investigation. In the last 40

:36:22. > :36:27.minutes or so an update from Mark Rowley, the deputy acting

:36:28. > :36:31.Commissioner. We know from that the developments are that there have

:36:32. > :36:39.been a number of arrests and a number of events both here in London

:36:40. > :36:42.and also in Birmingham, a number of raids on properties, we know that

:36:43. > :36:47.six properties were raided and it has been confirmed that at least one

:36:48. > :36:55.of those is in Birmingham. The Met's senior officer Mark rally giving us

:36:56. > :36:59.those updates. There are no indications at this stage that they

:37:00. > :37:06.are looking for anybody else in connection with this incident, there

:37:07. > :37:09.were concerns there might be others as in ongoing incidents but they are

:37:10. > :37:11.confirming they believe it was a lone attacker, investigation of

:37:12. > :37:16.course ongoing. We know that the reason for the raid

:37:17. > :37:20.in Birmingham, police were led to Birmingham because the car -- the

:37:21. > :37:23.car used in the attack they believe was hired not far from there so that

:37:24. > :37:27.is one of the reasons are that weight. Other parts of the country

:37:28. > :37:32.as well but certainly in Birmingham for those seven arrests at six

:37:33. > :37:35.addresses. We are joined now by our political editor Laura Kunz Burke.

:37:36. > :37:42.We saw you yesterday reporting as the situation developed from inside

:37:43. > :37:46.the Houses of Parliament, on your phone, trying to get more

:37:47. > :37:50.information about what was going on and as events unfolded it seemed to

:37:51. > :37:55.get worse and worse. In a funny way, when it began, we

:37:56. > :37:59.heard the commotion, I saw people being bundled into the front of

:38:00. > :38:03.portcullis house, I saw dozens of members of the public running along

:38:04. > :38:07.the riverside outside, presumably running away from the Westminster

:38:08. > :38:12.Bridge attack. In the first ten or 15 minutes MPs were rushing to run

:38:13. > :38:17.from portcullis house saying they had heard gunshots, and after the

:38:18. > :38:20.first ten or 15 minutes it felt like a less frightening experience, we

:38:21. > :38:27.were in safe parts of the building, but we were in for five hours,

:38:28. > :38:31.trying to get of information. One MP told with this morning what happened

:38:32. > :38:35.with the Prime Minister herself, she had literally just voted, funnily

:38:36. > :38:38.enough in the comment it means physically walking through a

:38:39. > :38:44.corridor to do so, she had just done that when her security detail came

:38:45. > :38:48.into the very heart of the House of Commons, literally grabbed her and

:38:49. > :38:51.bundled her off to her convoy which came scream along through the

:38:52. > :38:57.Westminster backstreets. A well rehearsed move?

:38:58. > :39:01.Very well rehearsed, it is hard to underestimate how much security is

:39:02. > :39:05.part of this place, we all walked past dozens of armed police every

:39:06. > :39:08.day, normally when you are in it feels like a place of complete

:39:09. > :39:11.safety, that certainly is not what it about right yesterday.

:39:12. > :39:15.Many people we have spoken to today have made the points of the heroics

:39:16. > :39:19.of the day, we know of course the identity of the police officer who

:39:20. > :39:23.died, who will be very well known to people who come and go like you do

:39:24. > :39:26.everyday. Absolutely, he was a face familiar

:39:27. > :39:28.to me and many other colleagues, I won't pretend for a second that I

:39:29. > :39:45.knew him well but he is a familiar face, as all the

:39:46. > :39:48.police officers are here, and again it is hard, in a funny way this is a

:39:49. > :39:51.community in itself, people talk about the Westminster village, it is

:39:52. > :39:54.in the heart of a huge, throbbing city, but there is a community year

:39:55. > :39:57.and I was talking to some of the opposite as we left late last night

:39:58. > :40:00.who said, it could have been anyone of us, and that will be felt very

:40:01. > :40:02.much here. But in another example of that, Tobias Ellwood, an MP, who was

:40:03. > :40:05.pictured trying to save the police officer, is of course being admired

:40:06. > :40:08.very widely this morning and I was in touch with him briefly last night

:40:09. > :40:12.and he said it was a horrible day and Westminster will feel very

:40:13. > :40:16.different for time. He is on the front page of many

:40:17. > :40:21.papers this morning, those images really very disturbing. People who

:40:22. > :40:24.work here saw some very disturbing things yesterday, things that will

:40:25. > :40:29.stay with them for a long time. I'm sure that is the case, it will

:40:30. > :40:33.stay with me for a long time. MPs I was in touch with during the events,

:40:34. > :40:39.one contacted me to say, I can see out of my window, I can see, they

:40:40. > :40:43.believed it was the military at the moment, they said, I can see what

:40:44. > :40:49.looks like the military coming in, bodies lying on the ground, this is

:40:50. > :40:54.an event that will not be forgotten by many. A couple of thousand people

:40:55. > :40:59.work there and we were all being held inside, there were people who

:41:00. > :41:02.work in the canteen, who work for MPs, there were senior politicians

:41:03. > :41:06.held in the chamber, very much a sense that everybody had been

:41:07. > :41:09.stopped in their tracks by this and MPs I have spoken to say that is

:41:10. > :41:14.exactly why it is so important that they will all come here today, they

:41:15. > :41:16.will all take their seats in the House of Commons, members of the

:41:17. > :41:27.House of Lords will take their seats in the

:41:28. > :41:30.Piers chamber and yesterday somebody tried to stop them all in their

:41:31. > :41:33.tracks, today they are determined to come here to show that will not

:41:34. > :41:36.happen, and the Prime Minister will give a statement at 11:30am, I don't

:41:37. > :41:38.think we will hear new announcements from the Government but sources have

:41:39. > :41:40.told me her aim today will be to reassure.

:41:41. > :41:43.Thank you very much, I know you have a busy day. From our position here,

:41:44. > :41:47.as Laura was saying, some of the MPs now arriving, making their way

:41:48. > :41:51.through the security Gordon. Let's bring you up to date with the

:41:52. > :41:56.developments in terms of the police investigation, we heard a while ago

:41:57. > :42:03.from the Acting Deputy Commissioner. Let's hear what he had to say.

:42:04. > :42:06.Sadly seven of those in hospital are still in critical condition. The

:42:07. > :42:10.death sadly included PC Keith Palmer, protecting Parliament, it

:42:11. > :42:15.two members of the public, a woman in her 40s and a man in his 50s. The

:42:16. > :42:20.fourth man of course was the terrorist who was shot dead by armed

:42:21. > :42:23.police at the scene. Hundreds of detectives have been working through

:42:24. > :42:28.the night and during that time I confirm that we have searched six

:42:29. > :42:32.addresses and made seven arrests. The inquiries in Birmingham, London

:42:33. > :42:38.and other parts of the country are continuing. It is still our belief,

:42:39. > :42:42.which continues to be borne out by investigation, that this attacker

:42:43. > :42:45.acted alone and was inspired by international terrorism. To be

:42:46. > :42:51.explicit, at this stage we have no specific information about further

:42:52. > :42:55.threats to the public. Clearly the investigation is ongoing, developing

:42:56. > :42:59.all the time, and we continue to focus on his motivation, his

:43:00. > :43:04.preparation, and his associates. I do recognise that the media are

:43:05. > :43:08.making progress on identifying the attacker. I will continue to ask his

:43:09. > :43:11.name is not published while we're at a sensitive stage in the

:43:12. > :43:16.investigation, still conducting searches and still conducting. This

:43:17. > :43:20.large and complicated crime scene remains in place and our work there

:43:21. > :43:23.continues and I would like to thank everyone for their support and

:43:24. > :43:26.patience as we finish the work. As people are out and about today

:43:27. > :43:31.returning to the streets of the capital this morning, they will see

:43:32. > :43:35.more officers on duty, armed and a nod, and a mix of officers from the

:43:36. > :43:41.British Transport Police. We have increased duty hours and are working

:43:42. > :43:46.to reassure the public that London can go about its normal business. We

:43:47. > :43:51.must not allow terrorists to sow discord and fear in our city. The

:43:52. > :43:53.police will stand with all communities and later today in

:43:54. > :43:58.Scotland Yard there will be a meeting of faith leaders coming

:43:59. > :44:00.together. Whilst our work to investigate and understand what

:44:01. > :44:06.happened yesterday will continue with bigger, we must also reflect. I

:44:07. > :44:09.want to thank the public for their support and their good wishes. I

:44:10. > :44:17.know it is appreciated by all our men and women who are out there

:44:18. > :44:20.today protecting us. The Metropolitan Police there saying

:44:21. > :44:26.they believe that the man who killed three people and injured at least 40

:44:27. > :44:30.others in London yesterday was inspired by international and

:44:31. > :44:34.Islamist-related terrorism. We are joined now by Margaret Gilmore,

:44:35. > :44:38.specialist in intelligence and security with the United services

:44:39. > :44:44.Institute. No amount of intelligence, surely, could stop

:44:45. > :44:47.something like yesterday happening. Actually, the intelligence agencies

:44:48. > :44:52.have stopped very, very similar plots. 13 in the last three years,

:44:53. > :44:58.many of them this type of fairly crude, unsophisticated involving a

:44:59. > :45:02.car, and they have stopped them, so actually intelligence agencies are

:45:03. > :45:05.doing an amazing job. Obviously no consolation for the victims of

:45:06. > :45:09.yesterday, they have always worn somebody will get through, they

:45:10. > :45:10.cannot be following and watching and knowing about everybody but we

:45:11. > :45:22.should be optimistic on that level. As we talk to you we can see a

:45:23. > :45:28.low-loader bringing in concrete blocks? I remember in the days after

:45:29. > :45:32.the July 7th attacks 2005, they did exactly this. This is a ring of

:45:33. > :45:35.steel around the House of Commons. That guy was never going to get into

:45:36. > :45:41.the House of Commons, but they'll be reviewing security in the light of

:45:42. > :45:45.this further down the line once the criminal investigation is completed.

:45:46. > :45:51.There are clearly some weak links, most of the roads around here have

:45:52. > :45:57.the ballads, pedestrians have kept away from any vehicle. The ballads

:45:58. > :46:01.look as though they have been there for years, they are made of

:46:02. > :46:05.state-of-the-art materials, that's all the way up Trafalgar Square,

:46:06. > :46:09.railway stations up and down the country, and the weak link not on

:46:10. > :46:13.Westminster bridge. There are security issues. You can see some of

:46:14. > :46:17.the concrete blocks, as we speak, they'll be put into place today. We

:46:18. > :46:21.are hearing from the police investigation side of this that a

:46:22. > :46:25.number of arrests, both in Birmingham and in London, have been

:46:26. > :46:31.made. The scale of the operation is clearly huge? Yes. They'll have got

:46:32. > :46:36.an identity very early on from this person. He'll have gone in knowing

:46:37. > :46:40.that he was a suicide attacker. They'd know who he is and the sooner

:46:41. > :46:44.they can goat the people he knew toe find out whether there were any

:46:45. > :46:49.other coconspirators who may be a threat to our security, but also to

:46:50. > :46:52.talk to the people he was communicating with to see if anybody

:46:53. > :46:58.else may be on the brink of ragged capisation, that sort of thing, the

:46:59. > :47:04.better. Before the identity becomes public knowledge, they'll do so so

:47:05. > :47:08.people don't go to ground. Keeping a lid tonne identity at the moment?

:47:09. > :47:11.The longer they can do that, the more they have the element of

:47:12. > :47:14.surprise when following this through and the more they'll put details

:47:15. > :47:20.about him, not only to people here in this country but they'll be going

:47:21. > :47:23.to other intelligence agencies and looking into the databases there -

:47:24. > :47:30.has he been in contact with people abroad, what motivated him, who

:47:31. > :47:33.inspired him, his methodology! His methodology would suggest a group

:47:34. > :47:38.like Isis, but everything is open. Thank you very much for joining us

:47:39. > :47:43.this morning. It has become very busy down here, particularly in the

:47:44. > :47:46.last hour hour or so. Many MPs and the people that work at Westminster

:47:47. > :47:50.are arriving here because, in some ways, they are trying to carry on

:47:51. > :47:55.with business as usual. On that note, we are told there'll be a

:47:56. > :47:59.minutes' silence at 9.33 this morning. We'll keep you up-to-date

:48:00. > :48:03.with all the developments here on BBC Breakfast. Let's go to Carol now

:48:04. > :48:12.for the morning's weather. We have some rain at the moment but

:48:13. > :48:16.it will increasingly turn patchy and then it will fizzle. For Mark Oaten,

:48:17. > :48:21.it will brighten and we'll see some sunshine. However, we've got low

:48:22. > :48:29.pressure Across The Bay ofs by Kay at the moment. As it moves north, it

:48:30. > :48:33.will introduce some rain across some southern coastal counties of England

:48:34. > :48:38.later across the day -- Bay of Biscay. The breeze will ease through

:48:39. > :48:43.the day. The rain will ease. There'll be one or two showers left

:48:44. > :48:47.here and there, but for most, it will brighten up and we'll see some

:48:48. > :48:53.sunshine. By mid afternoon, you can see in East Anglia, across to Essex

:48:54. > :48:55.and Kent some sunshine. As the weather front approaches, it will

:48:56. > :49:02.produce rain across the Channel Islands and to the west as well,

:49:03. > :49:06.heading towards Cornwall, Devon, Somerset, Dorset, for example. As we

:49:07. > :49:14.push into Wales, largely dry with one or two showers. Sunshine coming

:49:15. > :49:18.through. For Northern Ireland, sunny skies after the rain. Scotland

:49:19. > :49:23.seeing sunshine, a wee bit more cloud at times across the Highlands

:49:24. > :49:28.and Grampians but nonetheless it should remain. For the north-east of

:49:29. > :49:32.England, back into the sunnier skies. Through the eveningsening

:49:33. > :49:36.we'll have the rain affecting southern and coastal counties at

:49:37. > :49:40.times. Still windy. North of that, in the north Midlands and Wales,

:49:41. > :49:43.into northern England, Northern Ireland and Scotland, it will be a

:49:44. > :49:47.cold night. Temperatures you can see represent what you can expect in

:49:48. > :49:51.towns and cities. In rural parts of Northern Ireland and also Scotland,

:49:52. > :49:55.we are looking at lower values of minus six to minus eight. Tomorrow,

:49:56. > :49:59.we'll have some frost. Equally, we'll have sunshine to start the

:50:00. > :50:03.day. The remnants of the overnight rain push away. Behind that rain,

:50:04. > :50:10.there'll be a lot of cloud in the south. Through the day, the cloud

:50:11. > :50:15.melts away, and in light breezes, temperatures between ten and 13, and

:50:16. > :50:18.it will feel pleasant. For the weekend, high pressure is

:50:19. > :50:22.firmly in charge of our weather so we are looking at a lot of dry

:50:23. > :50:26.weather around. Temperatures 13-15, maybe more than that across Wales

:50:27. > :50:30.and north-west England. In light breezes, again feeling very pleasant

:50:31. > :50:35.for the time of year. As we move into the early hours of Sunday, put

:50:36. > :50:39.your clock forward by an hour because it signals the start of

:50:40. > :51:04.British Summer Time. The weather not too bad either.

:51:05. > :51:11.We have spoken to many people here in Westminster. Hundreds of police

:51:12. > :51:15.have been working through the night on the investigation to work out the

:51:16. > :51:24.attackers' motivation yesterday. Last night, the Met police said it's

:51:25. > :51:32.likely to be Islamist related. Joining us now from Glasgow

:51:33. > :51:35.is Aamer Anwar, a human rights lawyer with a particular interest

:51:36. > :51:45.in Islamist-related terrorism. Wondering what you make of this?

:51:46. > :51:50.It's important to remember that as many slept safely in our beds, there

:51:51. > :51:53.would have been hundreds of police officers across the country acting

:51:54. > :51:57.on intelligence carrying out raids. When carrying out raids, they'd not

:51:58. > :52:01.know what faces them on the other side of the doors, of those

:52:02. > :52:04.properties that they enter. They'll put their lives at risk. As we saw

:52:05. > :52:10.yesterday, a police officer, PC Palmer, gave his life in the line of

:52:11. > :52:14.duty protecting others. We are in a difficult situation at the moment

:52:15. > :52:18.and I think the Deputy Commissioner is correct, the media have a

:52:19. > :52:21.responsibility to act carefully because they'll be acting on

:52:22. > :52:28.intelligence and they'll be trying to keep the public safe.

:52:29. > :52:33.From what the police have said so far, they're saying all the

:52:34. > :52:38.indicators are that this is an attack linked to Islamic terrorism?

:52:39. > :52:42.Yes. I mean, it's clearly looking in that direction and what everybody is

:52:43. > :52:47.saying is, how could this happen. There'll be of course calls for

:52:48. > :52:52.reviews, however I think what we need to understand is this - that in

:52:53. > :52:56.this country, we believe in democracy, we live by civilised

:52:57. > :53:00.values and it's impossible, almost impossible to deter lone wolf

:53:01. > :53:04.attacks such as this. The best form of resistance and the best form of

:53:05. > :53:09.attack, if you want to use their words, is to carry on, as will be

:53:10. > :53:12.happening in London. Ordinary Londoners will two about their

:53:13. > :53:16.business, Parliament will re-open, people will carry on with their

:53:17. > :53:20.lives and in the meantime those in the police and if Security Services

:53:21. > :53:23.will be working day and night to try to deter such attacks. They'll be

:53:24. > :53:26.acting on intelligence and information to see whether this

:53:27. > :53:30.individual was connected to others. At any one time, there'll be

:53:31. > :53:32.hundreds of individuals constantly under surveillance by the Security

:53:33. > :53:38.Services and the police. However, they have a difficult job to do.

:53:39. > :53:42.Attached to the individuals who'll be seen as imminent or severe threat

:53:43. > :53:46.levels will be scores of individuals who may have come into contact with

:53:47. > :53:50.them in. A society that believes in due process, presumption of

:53:51. > :53:52.innocence, it's impossible to keep all the people under constant

:53:53. > :53:57.surveillance because we do not live in a police state.

:53:58. > :54:09.Aamer, thank you for your time. It's been confirmed that a one

:54:10. > :54:13.minute' silence will be held at 9.33 am to pay respect to the victims of

:54:14. > :54:16.the attack. Straight to the Mayor of London Sadiq Khan who is on the

:54:17. > :54:20.line. Good morning to you. First of all, I would just ask you, what is

:54:21. > :54:25.your message to Londoners this morning, not just Londoners, the

:54:26. > :54:28.many people who travel here for holidays, pleasure, who travel here

:54:29. > :54:32.for business, the many visitors to this City. What is your message to

:54:33. > :54:39.them? Well, let me begin, as the Mayor of

:54:40. > :54:42.London and as a Londoner paying tribute to Keith Palmer, a

:54:43. > :54:49.48-year-old father and husband who was a police officer who was unarmed

:54:50. > :54:54.doing his job to keep our City, Parliament and Londoners safe and

:54:55. > :54:58.tragically lost his life yesterday. My thoughts and the thoughts of all

:54:59. > :55:01.Londoners and others are with his family today.

:55:02. > :55:04.We should recognise that one of the reasons why London is one of the

:55:05. > :55:09.safest cities in the world is because of the bravery of officers

:55:10. > :55:15.like Keith Palmer and thousands of others who, on a daily basis, with

:55:16. > :55:17.our Security Services and emergency services, work incredibly hard in

:55:18. > :55:21.exceptionally difficult circumstances to make us one of the

:55:22. > :55:24.safest cities in the world. The threat level in London and

:55:25. > :55:30.across the country has been severe now for a number of years. That

:55:31. > :55:36.means an attack is highly likely. Last year, the Commission of the Met

:55:37. > :55:41.police, Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe, who has recently retired, he said the

:55:42. > :55:48.question of an attack happening was when and not if. More than a dozen

:55:49. > :55:53.attempts made by terrorists to destroy lives, to divide our

:55:54. > :55:57.communities, we have been successful in thwarting the terrorist attacks.

:55:58. > :56:01.Unfortunately, one was successful yesterday. Because of the bravery of

:56:02. > :56:05.our police and emergency services, less lives were lost than otherwise

:56:06. > :56:09.would have been the case because of the bravery, courage of the Police

:56:10. > :56:13.Service and the emergency services, far fewer people were injured.

:56:14. > :56:16.Clearly, my heart goes out to all those who've lost loved ones and all

:56:17. > :56:23.those who've suffered as a consequence of the attack yesterday.

:56:24. > :56:26.You say, and we know this already that, many other attacks, around a

:56:27. > :56:31.does on they are attacks have been prevent sod far. I've heard you say

:56:32. > :56:36.in the past that actually, at some point, an attack was almost

:56:37. > :56:40.inevitable, like you just mentioned Bernard Hogan-Howe saying the same

:56:41. > :56:44.thing. Almost inevitable - how shocked were you as events unfolded

:56:45. > :56:47.here yesterday? One of the reasons why I say that our police and

:56:48. > :56:53.Security Services are the best in the world is because they practice

:56:54. > :56:56.for these sorts of events. We have been evolving and adapting how we

:56:57. > :57:00.keep our city and country safe, just like the terrorists evolve and adapt

:57:01. > :57:05.and find new ways to harm and destroy us, to divide our

:57:06. > :57:09.communities. The bad news is that that practice was used yesterday.

:57:10. > :57:12.One of the reasons why the police and emergency services were so quick

:57:13. > :57:16.was because of the practices they've done. Literally two weekends ago

:57:17. > :57:20.they were practicing on the River Thames for the possibility of an

:57:21. > :57:24.attack from terrorists using the river. We always learn from

:57:25. > :57:29.incidents around the world as well. It was our Police Service and

:57:30. > :57:34.experts who were in Paris and Brussels, Istanbul, to not just

:57:35. > :57:37.provide expertise to those cities and their experts but also to learn

:57:38. > :57:44.as well. We have been successful in the past. The experts advised that

:57:45. > :57:47.an attack was highly likely. The previous commissioner said it was a

:57:48. > :57:51.question of when not if, but you have got to recognise that the

:57:52. > :57:55.terrorists want to decity our way of life and harm us. We can ask the

:57:56. > :58:00.question, why is that. The reason is because they hate the fact that when

:58:01. > :58:06.you are a Londoner, you can be a Christian, Jew, Muslim Sikh, Hindu,

:58:07. > :58:09.Buddhist, we don't tolerate each other, we simply respect and work

:58:10. > :58:13.together, we have a thriving democracy and MPs can be voted in

:58:14. > :58:17.and out, they hate that. They hate the fact that we have civil

:58:18. > :58:20.liberties, a free press. We have to recognise that, celebrate that and

:58:21. > :58:24.recognise, today of all days, when people are returning to work,

:58:25. > :58:28.whether in Parliament, City Hall or their offices, we are returning to

:58:29. > :58:32.business as usual. Briefly, if you can, how can you

:58:33. > :58:38.make Londoners feel safe today? What can you say to them?

:58:39. > :58:43.Well, Londoners will see and visitors will see additional armed

:58:44. > :58:48.officers, additional unarmed officers, walking the streets

:58:49. > :58:52.outside tube stations and underground stations and bus stops,

:58:53. > :58:56.keeping us safe, providing a visible deterrent to anybody thinking about

:58:57. > :59:02.another attack, but also to reassure Londoners and visitors as well.

:59:03. > :59:07.You've heard about the ongoing investigations across the country...

:59:08. > :59:11.Sadiq Khan, I am sorry to interrupt you there, we are out of time, I'm

:59:12. > :59:14.afraid. That is the London Mayor, Sadiq Khan.

:59:15. > :59:16.We'll be back with more reaction to the Westminster

:59:17. > :00:54.First, let's take a brief look at the headlines

:00:55. > :01:00.I'll be back at 1.30 with the lunchtime news -

:01:01. > :01:13.Welcome back to BBC Breakfast, this is a special programme broadcasting

:01:14. > :01:16.from the heart of Westminster this morning in the aftermath of the

:01:17. > :01:19.terror attack yesterday. A number of developments this

:01:20. > :01:23.morning in connection with the police investigation, there have

:01:24. > :01:28.been seven arrests, six addresses here in London and in Birmingham,

:01:29. > :01:31.have taken place. But this is a busy place this morning, it is a curious

:01:32. > :01:35.atmosphere, there are a lot of people where we are, immediately in

:01:36. > :01:39.front of the first security Gordon, this is as close as we can get, but

:01:40. > :01:42.within the security code and it is very quiet and the Liberal Democrat

:01:43. > :01:52.leader Tim Farron is with us. Many MPs like yourself just arriving

:01:53. > :01:57.now for what will be a very extraordinary day in the Commons.

:01:58. > :02:03.Yes, I got into the House of Commons nearly an hour or so ago and you are

:02:04. > :02:08.struck immediately, I like to think I say hello and acknowledge and

:02:09. > :02:11.thank the doorkeepers and police officers around Westminster normally

:02:12. > :02:19.but you particularly feel how important that is, we are immensely

:02:20. > :02:24.well protected here and I think the fact that the attack yesterday was a

:02:25. > :02:30.single individual in the way that it was is a reminder that we are

:02:31. > :02:35.immensely well protected, but what yesterday was was a challenge to

:02:36. > :02:39.every single one of us, people talk about a threat to democracy and

:02:40. > :02:47.parliament and the rest of it but it is a threat to every single human

:02:48. > :02:51.being, innocent people died yesterday, 40 people injured, three

:02:52. > :02:55.people on the bridge going about their business, PC Keith Palmer, it

:02:56. > :02:59.was attack on everyone of us, and our response as a national community

:03:00. > :03:05.and an international community is very, very important, and I think to

:03:06. > :03:08.just get on with it is an important part of that response. As soon as I

:03:09. > :03:12.can get away today I will go up north, I will fight a marketplace

:03:13. > :03:16.and stand on it with my A board because we will not have these

:03:17. > :03:20.people making us afraid. One of the thing that struck me yesterday is

:03:21. > :03:24.Parliament is not just full of MPs, there are lots of other people who

:03:25. > :03:28.work there, various school groups were inside their yesterday and

:03:29. > :03:31.today the same thing will happen, Parliament is open to visitors,

:03:32. > :03:36.tourists, anybody who wants to go in and watch the statements being made.

:03:37. > :03:39.And that is right as well, yesterday the bell went for the division, we

:03:40. > :03:48.all went to vote and the incident happened in the midst of that, I was

:03:49. > :03:52.in the room next door to my office with some other MPs and guests as

:03:53. > :03:56.well, this place is buzzing with lots of people, my staff for example

:03:57. > :04:01.were on lockdown in the building until 7:30pm, 8pm last night, so we

:04:02. > :04:05.think of all the people who work in the restaurants, cafes, the

:04:06. > :04:10.maintenance staff, it is a huge, huge place with lots and lots of

:04:11. > :04:14.people in it, and there was a great feeling of confusion, panic, fear

:04:15. > :04:23.yesterday and I cannot say enough, it might sound cliche now, how much

:04:24. > :04:27.we have to thank the police for. Obviously Keith Palmer, for whose

:04:28. > :04:30.family I am beyond heartbroken, and all the other colleagues who are

:04:31. > :04:34.here again today and many were overnight who are keeping us more

:04:35. > :04:38.safe than we realised. Looking at the images we can see here, this is

:04:39. > :04:43.Westminster Bridge itself, very quiet today of course. We can see

:04:44. > :04:48.behind us the flags flying at half-mast. The atmosphere will be

:04:49. > :04:53.very different from normal, Theresa May will be addressing the Commons.

:04:54. > :04:57.Yes, she will, and I thought her words last night from 10 Downing

:04:58. > :05:05.Street were both unifying and defiant and I expect something

:05:06. > :05:08.similar today, so it is right that we pay tribute to Keith Palmer and

:05:09. > :05:10.the others who lost their lives and to all those others affected by

:05:11. > :05:15.yesterday's outrage, but it is also important that we get on with it and

:05:16. > :05:19.do what we said we would do today in any event. I think the atmosphere

:05:20. > :05:24.around here is very interesting, I was saying to you earlier on, I

:05:25. > :05:26.don't mean to be flippant, but as a northern IHAT a habit of saying

:05:27. > :05:32.hello to everybody in London and they often look startled. But this

:05:33. > :05:35.morning they said hello back, it is a time for remembering the good in

:05:36. > :05:39.one another and that is something we should cling to. Tim Farron, thank

:05:40. > :05:43.you very much for those comments, interesting that this morning people

:05:44. > :05:47.are starting to say hello back, something to hold onto, I think.

:05:48. > :05:52.To give you a sense of what is happening here, we are getting a

:05:53. > :05:57.number of MPs, Tim Farron there, arriving for work, also very busy,

:05:58. > :06:01.we have seen a number of trucks arriving with more concrete

:06:02. > :06:12.reinforcements, security blocks. You will

:06:13. > :06:16.have seen them in other parts of the country, particularly in London, but

:06:17. > :06:18.it is clear that a security operation is being picked up and I

:06:19. > :06:21.think we can show you some images from around Westminster itself, very

:06:22. > :06:23.quiet within the security Gordon, and of course large part of that

:06:24. > :06:28.area are still a crime scene, very much active police investigation,

:06:29. > :06:31.and we have had a number of updates from services in connection with

:06:32. > :06:35.that, we know that have been arrests made both here in London and in

:06:36. > :06:39.Birmingham. One of the things that many of you

:06:40. > :06:44.will have seen at home, images from yesterday, CCTV images of that

:06:45. > :06:48.bridge and what happened on that bridge, which was incredibly

:06:49. > :06:51.distressing. You might know that we have been very careful on this

:06:52. > :06:55.programme this morning, we are very aware of who is watching at home,

:06:56. > :06:59.you may have children getting ready for school, we have been very

:07:00. > :07:03.careful simply not to show you some of the images because they are too

:07:04. > :07:07.distressing, such was the shocking nature of the events that unfolded

:07:08. > :07:14.on the bridge yesterday. Yes, we have a number of guests

:07:15. > :07:17.passing through, with us now is David Biddy Jetty, a former Met

:07:18. > :07:24.detective and counterterrorism policing expert, and also at Saima

:07:25. > :07:32.Shahid, a security and terrorism analyst.

:07:33. > :07:37.It is an interesting situation, to say the least. There is a security

:07:38. > :07:39.Gordon, Commons will be sitting, but there is a major police

:07:40. > :07:43.investigation. Unusual for the police to deal with,

:07:44. > :07:47.people coming in and out of a crime scene, lots of them, just starting

:07:48. > :07:51.to rain here as well which makes it much more difficult for the police

:07:52. > :07:54.to deal with, covering up things on the floor, so a difficult situation

:07:55. > :08:01.to deal with. We saw concrete blocks coming in a moment ago, I would

:08:02. > :08:07.imagine they will be on the bridge, perhaps the bridge will reopen later

:08:08. > :08:12.on today. You worked in the aftermath of the 7/7 bombings, what

:08:13. > :08:15.did you learn from that that could be in the amended here this morning?

:08:16. > :08:21.The security service just opposite is here, one of the things during

:08:22. > :08:25.the 7/7 investigation was the intelligence held by other agencies

:08:26. > :08:28.is very useful to a police investigation, the joining up of the

:08:29. > :08:33.two agencies is what we worked hard at in the aftermath of 2005, so a

:08:34. > :08:37.lot of the information going on in here in that building there will

:08:38. > :08:41.have relevance to the police investigation. There were a lot of

:08:42. > :08:44.arrests this morning, they will be trying to find out what the

:08:45. > :08:47.communication was between this person and anybody else that make or

:08:48. > :09:02.may not have been involved, all of those things that we tried hard to

:09:03. > :09:05.get right in 2005. Afshin, we heard about the arrests in London and

:09:06. > :09:09.Birmingham, this is the scale of this coming clear. We know that

:09:10. > :09:13.hundreds of officers have been active all night last night, and, as

:09:14. > :09:18.you know, six or seven arrests have been made over the last 24 hours,

:09:19. > :09:25.but so far we don't have any clear indication about the links between

:09:26. > :09:31.some of the transnational jihadi networks that we have been talking

:09:32. > :09:36.about, and actually what happened yesterday in London. But probably

:09:37. > :09:41.within the next 24 hours things will be more clear, I understand why the

:09:42. > :09:46.security establishment is reluctant to provide more information at this

:09:47. > :09:52.stage. This is very, very critical stage and obviously it too early to

:09:53. > :09:57.speculate. The security service will be working very hard with the

:09:58. > :10:01.police, any intelligence, names, telephone numbers, e-mail addresses,

:10:02. > :10:05.that sort of thing, the information flow between the two agencies. Thank

:10:06. > :10:08.you both very much for your time this morning.

:10:09. > :10:11.We have been trying to give you a sense of the atmosphere here this

:10:12. > :10:15.morning at Westminster, clearly a very important day, we have heard

:10:16. > :10:19.more about the police investigation, the various updates, and we know

:10:20. > :10:23.that MPs, members of staff, people who work in the Commons, making

:10:24. > :10:32.their way through the cord on here, we also know that at 9:33am there

:10:33. > :10:35.will be a minute's silence held for those you love lost their lives and

:10:36. > :10:36.of course in tribute to those injured.

:10:37. > :10:39.Alongside the tributes and silent of course there is an ongoing

:10:40. > :10:43.investigation very much active and police are urging anyone with any

:10:44. > :10:46.information on the events here in Westminster to get in touch.

:10:47. > :10:49.Members of the public are asked to call the anti-terrorist

:10:50. > :10:54.That is the same number if people want to report anything else

:10:55. > :11:04.You can probably hear lots of police activity constantly going on all

:11:05. > :11:05.around us this morning. Before we go, let's bring you up

:11:06. > :11:08.to date with the latest Scotland Yard have confirmed

:11:09. > :11:13.that they have made seven arrests in connection with yesterday's

:11:14. > :11:17.attack in Westminster. Six properties were raided -

:11:18. > :11:20.it's been confirmed that at least Late last night it was confirmed

:11:21. > :11:29.the police officer killed in yesterday's terror attack

:11:30. > :11:32.was Keith Palmer, a 48-year-old husband and father who had

:11:33. > :11:35.served in the force for 15 Police now say four people have

:11:36. > :11:43.died, including the attacker, and at least 40 others

:11:44. > :11:50.have been injured. Later today Theresa May will lead

:11:51. > :11:55.a symbolic show of defiance as MPs and peers return to work

:11:56. > :11:58.at the Houses of Parliament. A minute's silence will also

:11:59. > :12:03.be held at 9.33am. There'll be continuing

:12:04. > :12:21.coverage through the day We will include on BBC One

:12:22. > :12:22.three-minute silence that will be taking place in Westminster very

:12:23. > :12:24.shortly. But here on BBC One,

:12:25. > :12:27.we leave you with some of the images and sounds of the day Westminster

:12:28. > :12:41.came under attack. Since 2:40pm this afternoon we have

:12:42. > :12:44.responded to an incident in Parliament Square and the senior

:12:45. > :12:48.national coordinator has declared it a terrorist incident.

:12:49. > :12:52.Go, move yourself, go! We know there are a number of

:12:53. > :12:55.casualties, including police officers, but at this stage we

:12:56. > :13:07.cannot confirm numbers or the nature of the injuries.

:13:08. > :13:16.The Government's top priority is the security of its people. And I urge

:13:17. > :13:18.everyone to remain calm, but to be vigilant, and if they see anything

:13:19. > :13:31.they are concerned about, they should report it to the police.

:13:32. > :13:35.One of those who died today was a police officer, PC Keith Palmer, a

:13:36. > :13:39.member of our Parliamentary and diplomatic protection command. Keith

:13:40. > :13:44.was 48, had 15 years service, and was a husband and father. He was

:13:45. > :13:47.someone who left for work today expecting to return home at the end

:13:48. > :13:56.of his shift, and he had every right to expect that would happen.

:13:57. > :14:03.We will all move forward together. Never giving in to terror. And never

:14:04. > :14:10.allowing the voices of hate and evil to drive us apart.
