:01:53. > :01:53.emergency services as they start, then two weeks specialist training

:01:54. > :01:55.every year. We did deploy specialist teams

:01:56. > :01:59.to manage that type of incident. We have those teams

:02:00. > :02:02.on duty 24 seven. Actually, they've

:02:03. > :02:06.proven their worth. Soho firefighter Mark Maclean

:02:07. > :02:16.and his colleagues from Lambeth were among the first onto the bridge,

:02:17. > :02:18.again meeting with the mayor this morning but with Wednesday's event

:02:19. > :02:29.is still fresh in his mind. Yeah, there are certain images that

:02:30. > :02:33.will stay with me. But I've done the very best I can do professionally to

:02:34. > :02:36.try and make the situation better. His colleagues from

:02:37. > :02:38.the brigade's River band team helped rescue a person

:02:39. > :02:42.who had fallen into the Thames from She was unresponsive in the water

:02:43. > :02:46.and it was clear she had suffered The crew working on her were very

:02:47. > :02:55.busy and genuinely had their work LeMay's final stop of the day at

:02:56. > :03:06.Scotland Yard. -- the mayor's. As far as the attacker is concerned,

:03:07. > :03:09.he recently chose to give himself a Muslim name -

:03:10. > :03:11.even though he was born With over one in 10 Londoners

:03:12. > :03:17.being Muslim, there's been a lot activity within the communities

:03:18. > :03:19.since Wednesday, which hasn't centred around their faith,

:03:20. > :03:21.but instead their sense Ayshea Buksh can tell

:03:22. > :03:37.us more about it. This is what Mr Amit saw from his

:03:38. > :03:42.meeting room minutes after the Westminster attack. When he was

:03:43. > :03:44.finally allowed to go home after a five-hour lockdown, he setup a

:03:45. > :03:50.fundraising website for the families of the victims. So far it is raised

:03:51. > :03:55.over ?20,000. The group describes who we are. The donations of come

:03:56. > :03:59.from everywhere. It happens to be a Muslim-led campaign but in and of

:04:00. > :04:03.its essence it is a multicultural campaign. It is a bunch of people

:04:04. > :04:08.coming together investing in the idea of a shared, positive London

:04:09. > :04:13.that works for everyone. After surviving the London bombings in

:04:14. > :04:19.2005, this woman left her job in the city to setup a charity helping

:04:20. > :04:23.women to tackle radicalisation. We can't be defeated. We can't let this

:04:24. > :04:29.one lone attack affect our lives and change our lives, whereby we live in

:04:30. > :04:35.fear. I urge London and I urge the communities here in London to come

:04:36. > :04:40.together to stand together so we can overcome this issue like we did 12

:04:41. > :04:44.years ago. The people we have spoken to do not claim to speak for the

:04:45. > :04:50.so-called Muslim timidity of London. Islam is as diverse as Londoners.

:04:51. > :04:53.But they are prepared to speak out to save the extremism we have seen

:04:54. > :04:55.this week in our city does not represent their values.

:04:56. > :04:58.Two brothers from south London helped save their mother's life

:04:59. > :05:01.earlier this month - with some quick thinking

:05:02. > :05:05.What made it all the more unusual was their young age.

:05:06. > :05:19.Four-year-old twins Rahman and Samuel are not easily baffled. When

:05:20. > :05:24.their mother fainted, they were quick to act. Samuel placed his

:05:25. > :05:26.mum's foam on her iPhone to unlock it. Then they did this.

:05:27. > :06:10.I said Siri, 999. Thanks to their call, paramedics

:06:11. > :06:15.reached within 30 minutes. As a parent you tell them things and hope

:06:16. > :06:17.they sink in. You never expected to happen for them to remember

:06:18. > :06:22.everything you said. But let's find out what

:06:23. > :06:33.the weather's up to with Nick. Very breezy today.
