Flags are flying at half mast in the capital and hundreds | :00:14. | :00:18. | |
gathered at impromptu vigils to show their solidarity | :00:19. | :00:20. | |
Londoners know only too well the horrors of a terror attack. | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
The device used having echoes of the 7/7 bombings. | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
This evening, multi-faith leaders in the capital condemned the attack, | :00:29. | :00:30. | |
A minute's silence for those affected by the Manchester tragedy. | :00:31. | :00:43. | |
Multi-faith leaders gathered at Central Mosque in London | :00:44. | :00:45. | |
I think it's very important for us, as one | :00:46. | :00:57. | |
nation, whatever background, colour, religion or faith we are, we | :00:58. | :00:59. | |
And it is very important that we remain | :01:00. | :01:04. | |
Despite the fact that they are evil people who commit such terrible | :01:05. | :01:17. | |
acts, that most of us, most people of all communities | :01:18. | :01:24. | |
want to live in harmony with each other. | :01:25. | :01:31. | |
In Trafalgar Square as well, people gathered. | :01:32. | :01:33. | |
A vigil was organised to remember those killed in Manchester. | :01:34. | :01:35. | |
I was on duty at 7/7 at King's Cross working | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
And it sort of hit home when I woke up this morning and saw | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
the news and my first thoughts were, people stood with me when I was at | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
my lowest all around the world, saying we stand with London, and I | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
wanted to do the same for people in Manchester. | :01:50. | :01:51. | |
Phil Duckworth was badly injured in the 7/7 attack. | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
For him, it also triggered the worst kind of | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
Total shock, I could not believe it was happening all | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
And I think my initial reaction was, basically, I didn't want | :02:07. | :02:18. | |
He knows - because his wife went through it - what the | :02:19. | :02:27. | |
families with those missing are suffering. | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
I was a missing person for quite a long time and it | :02:31. | :02:38. | |
is hard, very hard, hearing how difficult | :02:39. | :02:40. | |
and the search for you, not having information to find sort | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
of a loved-one and how to go about that. | :02:45. | :02:46. | |
And that is where I really feel it is | :02:47. | :02:48. | |
hard to deal with, to think about the people | :02:49. | :02:50. | |
hard to deal with, to think about the people in Manchester | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
Across London, flags were lowered on public | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
buildings and there was this message from the Mayor. | :02:57. | :03:06. | |
Londoners have been through attacks recently on their | :03:07. | :03:08. | |
own city, but today, it was another city in their thoughts. | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
These were some of the messages for the people of | :03:14. | :03:15. | |
Be strong, be united, don't let them win. | :03:16. | :03:24. | |
I know it's a load of cliches, but it's a cliche for a reason. | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
Yeah, you know, we're with you, Manchester. | :03:31. | :03:31. | |
So the best thing is to stick together and be strong. | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
Anyone who attacks young girls is disgusting. | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
And if they want to bring the fight to us, they | :03:43. | :03:49. | |
bring the fight to us, but don't take it to little girls. | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
A country united in the face of tragedy. | :03:53. | :03:54. | |
Londoners may have already noticed an increased police | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
presence in the capital, but that's set to change. | :03:58. | :04:04. | |
And yes, with the heightened risk, things will look very different for | :04:05. | :04:12. | |
tomorrow morning. In practical terms, soldiers will replace armed | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
officers in some of the prominent public places as part of a | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
long-standing plans -- plan to free up the Armed Forces to work on | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
operations relating to terror. It is called operation temper. | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
They will be placed in public places and at some police cordons. We have | :04:32. | :04:39. | |
a number of big sporting events, the FA Cup final at Wembley, a big rugby | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
final at Twickenham and we know that the security will be more robust. | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
Fans being asked to arrive early so they can have their bags searched, | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
to try to prevent and make sure people are kept safe. Earlier, we | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
spoke to a terra specialist who told is a bit about what will be going on | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
behind-the-scenes and who asked for the public to be vigilant. How can | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
the services respond to this, the security services? These plans and | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
procedures are well practised and hopefully we'll execute them well so | :05:10. | :05:16. | |
there is a lot of activity behind-the-scenes. In order to make | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
those physical and system assets more effective, we have to have | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
members of the public, so it is the soft power of counterterrorism and | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
if they are not paying attention, you certainly do not want them to | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
feel afraid but if they're not aware and alert, it makes us less | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
effective. This attack is two months after Westminster which is still | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
fresh in our minds. Yes, this was a more sophisticated attack, | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
Westminster was a knife and a car and somebody here has built a bomb | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
and detonated it, possibly part of a week larger group. It takes us back | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
to the bombings of 7/7. The Metropolitan Police will share that | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
information with Manchester and looking at their tactics to avoid | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
this kind of attack. Thank you very much. | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
In other news: A family who were housing at least 26 | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
migrants in appalling conditions in North West London are due to be | :06:06. | :06:07. | |
sentenced for breaching housing regulations. | :06:08. | :06:18. | |
The tenants were paying up to ?70 a week for rooms | :06:19. | :06:20. | |
jammed with bunk beds, with one occupant sleeping | :06:21. | :06:22. | |
In court today, because they were responsible for property in | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
condition is described as appalling. And we filmed back in July as Brent | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
Council raided a four bedroomed semi in Wembley. Inside, inspectors found | :06:35. | :06:41. | |
at least 26 people had been living here and bunk beds were packed into | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
almost every room. The tenants here has been paying between ?40 to ?70 a | :06:47. | :06:53. | |
week. Six sleeping spaces. Outside, in the back garden, there was a shed | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
with a woman living but inside as well. Today, the owners and managers | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
of this property were convicted of or admitted multiple breaches of the | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
regulations on housing standards. And in court to witness this, | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
officers from Brent Council involved in this raid. It was disgraceful. | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
And there were six men are living in box bedrooms, but we bunk beds in | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
each room. When we went out into the back garden, we found a shack which | :07:24. | :07:29. | |
was literally a shack with tarpaulin and timber but together with a lady | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
living in it. It cannot believe it, it was disgraceful. ?600 of rent was | :07:35. | :07:42. | |
taken from this property and clearly somebody was making a lot of money | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
by exploiting tenants and providing them with it -- appalling living | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
conditions. The court heard that the rent was collected and they would | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
have known about this date of the property they helped to manage. | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
Would you like to live in these conditions in Muirhouse? Would you | :08:00. | :08:05. | |
like to live in those conditions? There will be sentenced at Harrow | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
Crown Court. It's being called a "health | :08:09. | :08:16. | |
emergency", and London regularly breaches legal limits | :08:17. | :08:18. | |
for air quality. Now, researchers at Imperial College | :08:19. | :08:19. | |
London have shown why diesel fumes It is not news that | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
diesel fumes are a harm It's estimated they contribute | :08:23. | :08:39. | |
to the premature deaths of more And cleaning the capital's air | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
has become a political In October, the most polluting cars | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
will pay a so-called toxicity charge An ultra-low emission zone | :08:47. | :08:52. | |
will follow in two years' time. Today, researchers from Imperial | :08:53. | :09:07. | |
College have published research which shows how diesel particles | :09:08. | :09:09. | |
attack the lungs and They activate receptors on the nerve | :09:10. | :09:11. | |
endings that tell you to cough. Basically, they directly activate | :09:12. | :09:29. | |
receptors which cause This is a problem for everybody, | :09:30. | :09:31. | |
but more of a problem for those who have asthma | :09:32. | :09:41. | |
and respiratory conditions. Just ten days ago, doctors | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
demonstrated at Downing Street, calling for more to be done | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
to tackle the issue. The Mayor, of course, wants | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
the government to pay people to Data shows that in schools | :09:55. | :09:57. | |
and nurseries, the air quality levels are way above the legal limit | :09:58. | :10:09. | |

levels that breach World The team at Imperial | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
hope their research will lead to the issue of pollution moving up | :10:21. | :10:23. | |
the political agenda. Well, as we've been hearing, | :10:24. | :10:29. | |
last night's horrific events are even more shocking | :10:30. | :10:31. | |
because of the high number So what about parents concerned | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
about what to say to their kids, who may be confused, | :10:35. | :10:37. | |
upset or distressed by what they're seeing on television | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
or on social media? With more details, here's | :10:41. | :10:42. | |
Katharine Carpenter. Would you want to go for that? Like | :10:43. | :10:52. | |
many parents, waking to the News of the terror attack on Manchester | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
Arena, Amanda Dawson wondered how to broach it with her ten-year-old son. | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
They have tickets for the same concert at London's O2 Arena on | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
Thursday so it felt very close to home. The first thing he wanted to | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
do was to watch it on the news for himself. There is that disbelief | :11:11. | :11:13. | |
when you hear something and when you see it, it becomes real. So that is | :11:14. | :11:19. | |
how our conversation went. And you were really quite angry this | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
morning. I was very curious, I just want to watch it on the news. I was | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
just curious about what happens mainly. This is Newsround. We are | :11:29. | :11:36. | |
waking up to the news that there was an attack last night... Some news | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
programmes and websites have content that might help parents explain to | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
their children what is going on in the world, but with so many | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
upsetting headlines on television and social media, what advice is | :11:51. | :11:53. | |
therefore parents talking to their children? The NSPCC say to listen | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
carefully to a child's fears and worries and to reassurance and | :11:59. | :12:04. | |
avoid, located explanations that could be frightening and confusing. | :12:05. | :12:10. | |
Because of these events and children have been victims, children feel | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
much closer to these events and they are more emotionally traumatised. | :12:16. | :12:17. | |
They think they are more likely to become a victim is as a consequence | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
and as a result of that, they have high levels of anxiety and they need | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
additional support to be able to address the worries they have. It | :12:27. | :12:32. | |
can be heartbreaking to hear these bombings and terrorist attacks, it | :12:33. | :12:38. | |
is quite heartbreaking, it just makes you question what is next. I | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
want them to go out and enjoy what London has to offer and not feeling | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
scared every time they get on the Jupiter or if they go to a big event | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
like that. To reinforce that message, Amanda says she'd and has | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
somewhat to see Ariana Grande and concert and their weightings to find | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
out if the concert on Thursday is still going ahead. -- and they are | :13:02. | :13:02. | |
waiting to find out. And there's more information | :13:03. | :13:05. | |
and advice about how to talk to children about recent events | :13:06. | :13:07. | |
on the BBC Newsround website. I'll wish you a very | :13:08. | :13:13. | |
goodnight now and leave you with Elizabeth Rizzini, | :13:14. | :13:15. | |
for a check on the weather. They pretty enter the day with a lot | :13:16. | :13:23. | |
of sunset pictures from across the capital. There will be more sunshine | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
but as we had to be the next couple of days and for the rest of the | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
week, it is sunnier although there will be a lot of cloud around at at | :13:33. | :13:38. | |
times. It is dry with high pressure dominating. Towards the end of the | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
working week, it will turn warm and heart. By Saturday, we could be | :13:43. | :13:49. | |
looking at 30, 21 degrees. At this time of year, we normally would be | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
looking at 18, 19 Celsius. Overnight, variable cloud and | :13:54. | :14:00. | |
largely clear. Dry it into tomorrow morning, temperatures between 12 and | :14:01. | :14:07. | |
15 Celsius in Central London. So a mild good morning. Brightness and | :14:08. | :14:09. | |
sunshine first think and quite a lot of cloud. With high pressure ) rose | :14:10. | :14:18. | |
and like wings, it will break the cloud more readily than to day with | :14:19. | :14:24. | |
good sunshine by the time we get to tomorrow and temperatures on a par | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
with what we had yesterday, 23 and 25 Celsius, in the centre of town. | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
This is the pressure chart for the next couple of days. Thursday, high | :14:34. | :14:39. | |
pressure migrating to the East. Allowing warm air from the near | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
continent on the South East so temperatures rising, on Thursday and | :14:44. | :14:50. | |
Friday. We could be looking at 25, 20 seven Celsius. This is the | :14:51. | :14:56. | |
summary over the next couple of days. A rising temperatures and is | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
the heat going to last over the Bank Holiday Weekend? It might do. This | :15:01. | :15:11. | |
is the National forecast. Double. Hello, cloud topping and tailoring | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
the country today and that | :15:16. | :15:16. |
