Here, on BBC One, it's time for the news where you are. | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
The man in charge of the Metropolitan Police | :00:11. | :00:14. | |
during the 7/7 bombings has warned there will never be enough resources | :00:15. | :00:20. | |
to prevent future terror attacks from taking place. | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
Lord Blair said difficult choices will always need to be made in order | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
Our Home Affairs Correspondent Nick Beake assesses the scale | :00:27. | :00:32. | |
Outside Scotland Yard, they paused to remember the victims | :00:33. | :00:45. | |
Among those murdered was a police officer. | :00:46. | :00:47. | |
Elaine McIver, off-duty at the concert. | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
The Met is the beating heart of the UK's counterterrorism | :00:52. | :00:53. | |
network, but today, a reality check from a former boss. | :00:54. | :01:00. | |
There just are not enough resources, and there could never be enough | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
resources to cover everybody inevitably, and I do think | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
the Government is completely right to raise the situation to critical, | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
because he cannot have done this alone. | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
So what exactly is the size of the threat facing the police | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
We are told around 3,500 people are of interest in the UK. | :01:20. | :01:27. | |
Among them will be the 200 or so Londoners who have | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
been to Syria to fight and have now returned. | :01:31. | :01:32. | |
We're also told there are around 500 live counterterrorism investigations | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
Many of those will be in and around London. | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
The Manchester attack is the first time since 7/7, | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
The terrorists have now succeeded again in using explosives. | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
In August 2006, the thwarted plan to blow up planes between here | :01:54. | :02:01. | |
This was a demonstration for the BBC of what could happen. | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
In June 2007, outside the Tiger Tiger nightclub police | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
found an explosive device filled with nails and nuts | :02:12. | :02:17. | |
Then, another plot to bomb the London Stock Exchange. | :02:18. | :02:24. | |
And in 2012, a plan to attach an explosive to a remote-controlled | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
car and target the Territorial Army centre in Newton was also foiled. | :02:28. | :02:34. | |
I think we have some of the best police services | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
in the world and they really respect our capability. | :02:38. | :02:44. | |
It is a capability that has got better with time and should carry | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
It has some of the most talented people in the country doing | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
But the Manchester suicide bomber was reported to the authorities. | :02:52. | :02:58. | |
Once again, the question of resources and which suspects | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
to concentrate on has been brought into focus. | :03:02. | :03:08. | |
Well, the controversial Government strategy aimed at stopping people | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
from becoming terrorists is called Prevent. | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
It's controversial because some communities feel it | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
Yet that hasn't stopped sections the Muslim community from attempting | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
to tackle the issue of violent extremism head on. | :03:23. | :03:31. | |
These two people might look like they are having fun, | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
They have been specially trained to spot signs of radicalisation. | :03:35. | :03:43. | |
Not talking to people as much as they used to, | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
a different atmosphere in their tone, their | :03:49. | :03:50. | |
Even the small things make differences. | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
The 17-year-old says it is just a matter of speaking | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
to people in everyday life, counteracting the tactics groups | :04:00. | :04:01. | |
We use the same tactics, get to those people who are vulnerable, | :04:02. | :04:09. | |
get them in a safe space where they can speak to us and let | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
go of those emotions and make sure those emotions don't stay in them | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
and doesn't end up turning into something detrimental to themselves | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
This is part of a charity that tries to stop the spread of extremism. | :04:21. | :04:29. | |
This man used to work with the Government's Prevent | :04:30. | :04:31. | |
strategy, which tries to stop people getting into terrorism, | :04:32. | :04:33. | |
Our focus has now moved from intense, effective work | :04:34. | :04:46. | |
We need a team that can speak to the experts | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
who know what the hell is going on to tackle the problem. | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
It is no secret, this strategy has been controversial. | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
But the Government says it has reached hundreds of thousands | :05:02. | :05:03. | |
of people and stopped many others travelling to places | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
But hundreds across the UK have still been radicalised, | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
including the three Bethnal Green schoolgirls, Jihadi | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
As for Iram, she says she will continue to keep her eyes | :05:17. | :05:24. | |
and ears open in the hope of making a difference in her community. | :05:25. | :05:33. | |
Well, for the latest I'm joined now by Ayshea Buksh. | :05:34. | :05:40. | |
This is now a massive challenge for the police and security services. | :05:41. | :05:47. | |
The Met Police know of 3000 people who are of interest to them, they | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
cannot follow every lead, they have to prioritise. Counterterrorism | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
teams are making at least one arrest a day, and an act which have been | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
told that they have arrested a 64-year-old man at an address in | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
north London, following the arrest of a 37-year-old man attempting to | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
board a flight to Turkey on Tuesday at Stanstead Airport. These arrests | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
are not, police insist, in connection to the Manchester | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
incident, it is about travel to Syria, but both men are being held | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
on suspicion of preparing for acts of terrorism. Also British Transport | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
Police have begun deploying armed officers on the national rail | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
network. This is the first time in its history, the first patrol teams | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
were seen at Euston Station earlier today. They say it is in response to | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
the critical threat level that the country currently has. Armed | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
officers have been patrolling on the London Underground since December. | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
Accident investigators have found "no evidence" to explain why | :06:51. | :06:52. | |
a passenger put his head out of a train window, | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
Simon Brown was travelling to Victoria station | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
when the accident happened near Balham last year. | :07:01. | :07:02. | |
The Gatwick Express train had been travelling | :07:03. | :07:04. | |
A post-mortem examination found no traces of drugs or alcohol. | :07:05. | :07:12. | |
Advice to keep your eyes off your mobile phone | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
because of nearby mopeds has been issued by police in London. | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
It comes after the number of mopeds stolen has rocked in the past year, | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
with most of them being used to carry out further crimes. | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
The opportunists look for unsuspecting pedestrians, | :07:30. | :07:31. | |
who then have valuables snatched out of their hands. | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
They are fearless and they are aggressive. | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
London's thieves are using stolen mopeds more than ever, | :07:42. | :07:49. | |
and it is our mobiles they are mostly after. | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
Here in Islington last week, 31 phones were stolen in a single hour. | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
In just five minutes, we found two people it had happened to. | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
There was one guy driving and one guy on the back. | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
Just took it out of my hand, split second, didn't | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
Your phone just disappears out of your hand and you kind | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
of realise what happened, and then you beat yourself up, | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
Think about chasing after him, probably don't. | :08:15. | :08:20. | |
But police say we are still walking around with our phones in full view. | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
We go up to them and they say, "We have already had them stolen | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
And we say, "Wow, you are still doing it!" | :08:28. | :08:35. | |
What they say, they know somebody who has had their phone stolen | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
In the past year 15,000 scooters have been stolen. | :08:39. | :08:44. | |
They are then used to commit more crime. | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
The man fighting this theft wants us to know just how | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
In under 20 seconds he showed us how to steal one. | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
The bike like this without a lock on the back wheel, you can just grab | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
We can't show you any more of that, sorry. | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
But what we can show you is how to keep your mopeds safer. | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
The way to do it is put a big chain through the back wheel and put | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
When it's at home, put a big hook into the concrete. | :09:14. | :09:23. | |
This is one of 22 stolen every day, and the police say they only solve | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
about 5% of the crimes associated with mopeds. | :09:29. | :09:39. | |
With annual train tickets costing several thousand pounds, but a | :09:40. | :09:46. | |
second-hand mopeds around 700, many people are choosing the cheaper | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
option. London needs to bricks and habits to stay safe. | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
It is getting a little bit uncomfortable for some of us, and it | :09:58. | :10:10. | |
is getting hotter. It got up to 27 degrees today. Not an awful lot | :10:11. | :10:16. | |
happening, clear sky. In the sunshine the temperatures | :10:17. | :10:24. | |
will be shooting up. We could even get to 29 degrees. On | :10:25. | :10:43. | |
Saturday there is a change. We anticipate a few storms from the | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
south. Quite often they bring fresh weather, but not on this occasion. | :10:48. | :10:55. | |
There will be slightly fresher weather as we head into next week. | :10:56. | :11:10. | |
You would expect strong sunshine at this time of year, but it has been | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
stronger than you would normally expect, and that continues tomorrow. | :11:16. | :11:26. | |
It has been the hottest day of the year so far. I suspect we might beat | :11:27. | :11:27. |
