:01:36. > :01:38.I was on duty at 7/7 at King's Cross working
:01:39. > :01:42.And it sort of hit home when I woke up this morning and saw
:01:43. > :01:46.the news and my first thoughts were, people stood with me when I was at
:01:47. > :01:49.my lowest all around the world, saying we stand with London, and I
:01:50. > :01:51.wanted to do the same for people in Manchester.
:01:52. > :01:57.Phil Duckworth was badly injured in the 7/7 attack.
:01:58. > :02:01.For him, it also triggered the worst kind of

:02:31. > :02:38.I was a missing person for quite a long time and it
:02:39. > :02:40.is hard, very hard, hearing how difficult
:02:41. > :02:44.and the search for you, not having information to find sort
:02:45. > :02:46.of a loved-one and how to go about that.
:02:47. > :02:48.And that is where I really feel it is
:02:49. > :02:50.hard to deal with, to think about the people
:02:51. > :02:53.hard to deal with, to think about the people in Manchester
:02:54. > :02:56.Across London, flags were lowered on public
:02:57. > :03:06.buildings and there was this message from the Mayor.
:03:07. > :03:08.Londoners have been through attacks recently on their
:03:09. > :03:13.own city, but today, it was another city in their thoughts.
:03:14. > :03:15.These were some of the messages for the people of
:03:16. > :03:24.Be strong, be united, don't let them win.
:03:25. > :03:30.I know it's a load of cliches, but it's a cliche for a reason.
:03:31. > :03:31.Yeah, you know, we're with you, Manchester.
:03:32. > :03:37.So the best thing is to stick together and be strong.
:03:38. > :03:42.Anyone who attacks young girls is disgusting.
:03:43. > :03:49.And if they want to bring the fight to us, they
:03:50. > :03:52.bring the fight to us, but don't take it to little girls.
:03:53. > :03:54.A country united in the face of tragedy.
:03:55. > :03:57.Londoners may have already noticed an increased police
:03:58. > :04:04.presence in the capital, but that's set to change.
:04:05. > :04:12.And yes, with the heightened risk, things will look very different for
:04:13. > :04:16.tomorrow morning. In practical terms, soldiers will replace armed
:04:17. > :04:20.officers in some of the prominent public places as part of a
:04:21. > :04:26.long-standing plans -- plan to free up the Armed Forces to work on
:04:27. > :04:31.operations relating to terror. It is called operation temper.
:04:32. > :04:39.They will be placed in public places and at some police cordons. We have
:04:40. > :04:43.a number of big sporting events, the FA Cup final at Wembley, a big rugby
:04:44. > :04:48.final at Twickenham and we know that the security will be more robust.
:04:49. > :04:52.Fans being asked to arrive early so they can have their bags searched,
:04:53. > :04:56.to try to prevent and make sure people are kept safe. Earlier, we
:04:57. > :05:00.spoke to a terra specialist who told is a bit about what will be going on
:05:01. > :05:05.behind-the-scenes and who asked for the public to be vigilant. How can
:05:06. > :05:09.the services respond to this, the security services? These plans and
:05:10. > :05:16.procedures are well practised and hopefully we'll execute them well so
:05:17. > :05:20.there is a lot of activity behind-the-scenes. In order to make
:05:21. > :05:24.those physical and system assets more effective, we have to have
:05:25. > :05:27.members of the public, so it is the soft power of counterterrorism and
:05:28. > :05:31.if they are not paying attention, you certainly do not want them to
:05:32. > :05:35.feel afraid but if they're not aware and alert, it makes us less
:05:36. > :05:39.effective. This attack is two months after Westminster which is still
:05:40. > :05:43.fresh in our minds. Yes, this was a more sophisticated attack,
:05:44. > :05:48.Westminster was a knife and a car and somebody here has built a bomb
:05:49. > :05:53.and detonated it, possibly part of a week larger group. It takes us back
:05:54. > :05:56.to the bombings of 7/7. The Metropolitan Police will share that
:05:57. > :05:59.information with Manchester and looking at their tactics to avoid
:06:00. > :06:02.this kind of attack. Thank you very much.

:07:30. > :07:34.was literally a shack with tarpaulin and timber but together with a lady
:07:35. > :07:42.living in it. It cannot believe it, it was disgraceful. ?600 of rent was
:07:43. > :07:46.taken from this property and clearly somebody was making a lot of money
:07:47. > :07:52.by exploiting tenants and providing them with it -- appalling living

:10:30. > :10:31.last night's horrific events are even more shocking
:10:32. > :10:34.because of the high number So what about parents concerned
:10:35. > :10:37.about what to say to their kids, who may be confused,
:10:38. > :10:40.upset or distressed by what they're seeing on television
:10:41. > :10:42.or on social media? With more details, here's
:10:43. > :10:52.Katharine Carpenter. Would you want to go for that? Like
:10:53. > :10:56.many parents, waking to the News of the terror attack on Manchester
:10:57. > :11:01.Arena, Amanda Dawson wondered how to broach it with her ten-year-old son.
:11:02. > :11:05.They have tickets for the same concert at London's O2 Arena on
:11:06. > :11:10.Thursday so it felt very close to home. The first thing he wanted to
:11:11. > :11:13.do was to watch it on the news for himself. There is that disbelief
:11:14. > :11:19.when you hear something and when you see it, it becomes real. So that is
:11:20. > :11:24.how our conversation went. And you were really quite angry this
:11:25. > :11:28.morning. I was very curious, I just want to watch it on the news. I was
:11:29. > :11:36.just curious about what happens mainly. This is Newsround. We are
:11:37. > :11:42.waking up to the news that there was an attack last night... Some news
:11:43. > :11:45.programmes and websites have content that might help parents explain to
:11:46. > :11:50.their children what is going on in the world, but with so many
:11:51. > :11:53.upsetting headlines on television and social media, what advice is
:11:54. > :11:58.therefore parents talking to their children? The NSPCC say to listen
:11:59. > :12:04.carefully to a child's fears and worries and to reassurance and
:12:05. > :12:10.avoid, located explanations that could be frightening and confusing.
:12:11. > :12:15.Because of these events and children have been victims, children feel
:12:16. > :12:17.much closer to these events and they are more emotionally traumatised.
:12:18. > :12:21.They think they are more likely to become a victim is as a consequence
:12:22. > :12:26.and as a result of that, they have high levels of anxiety and they need
:12:27. > :12:32.additional support to be able to address the worries they have. It
:12:33. > :12:38.can be heartbreaking to hear these bombings and terrorist attacks, it
:12:39. > :12:42.is quite heartbreaking, it just makes you question what is next. I
:12:43. > :12:47.want them to go out and enjoy what London has to offer and not feeling
:12:48. > :12:51.scared every time they get on the Jupiter or if they go to a big event
:12:52. > :12:56.like that. To reinforce that message, Amanda says she'd and has
:12:57. > :13:01.somewhat to see Ariana Grande and concert and their weightings to find
:13:02. > :13:02.out if the concert on Thursday is still going ahead. -- and they are
:13:03. > :13:05.waiting to find out. And there's more information
:13:06. > :13:07.and advice about how to talk to children about recent events
:13:08. > :13:13.on the BBC Newsround website. I'll wish you a very
:13:14. > :13:15.goodnight now and leave you with Elizabeth Rizzini,
:13:16. > :13:23.for a check on the weather. They pretty enter the day with a lot
:13:24. > :13:28.of sunset pictures from across the capital. There will be more sunshine
:13:29. > :13:32.but as we had to be the next couple of days and for the rest of the
:13:33. > :13:38.week, it is sunnier although there will be a lot of cloud around at at
:13:39. > :13:42.times. It is dry with high pressure dominating. Towards the end of the
:13:43. > :13:49.working week, it will turn warm and heart. By Saturday, we could be
:13:50. > :13:53.looking at 30, 21 degrees. At this time of year, we normally would be
:13:54. > :14:00.looking at 18, 19 Celsius. Overnight, variable cloud and
:14:01. > :14:07.largely clear. Dry it into tomorrow morning, temperatures between 12 and

:14:57. > :15:00.summary over the next couple of days. A rising temperatures and is
:15:01. > :15:11.the heat going to last over the Bank Holiday Weekend? It might do. This
