:00:15. > :00:19."You will never succeed in dividing our city".

:00:20. > :00:22.That was Mayor Sadiq Khan's message to extremists at a vigil

:00:23. > :00:24.at City Hall this evening to remember the victims

:00:25. > :00:29.Thousands of people from all walks of life came together and stood

:00:30. > :00:31.united as a minute's silence was held not far

:00:32. > :00:44.Londoners joining together, defiant, determined

:00:45. > :00:51.We're in central London, probably a road and a half away

:00:52. > :00:53.from where the actual attacks took place.

:00:54. > :00:56.We're standing here, we're standing strong with thousands

:00:57. > :00:58.of people with their children here, old and young are here.

:00:59. > :01:02.I'm so proud to see all different colours, all different faiths,

:01:03. > :01:05.all different races coming together in unity, which is exactly

:01:06. > :01:13.what the terrorists didn't want to achieve.

:01:14. > :01:18.London stands in defiance against this cowardly attack

:01:19. > :01:25.on our city, our people, our values and our way of life.

:01:26. > :01:37.Security was tight - a stark reminder of the threat

:01:38. > :01:48.Remembering the lives lost and others that have

:01:49. > :01:57.The realisation it could have been any of us.

:01:58. > :02:00.I just felt London Bridge is somewhere I commute in and out

:02:01. > :02:03.of on a daily basis and I walk across the bridge every

:02:04. > :02:07.day to go to work, I socialise in Borough Market.

:02:08. > :02:11.It's violating to feel that this has happened right on your doorstep.

:02:12. > :02:15.Some have questioned whether vigils like this are so helpful.

:02:16. > :02:18.What use they are against such hatred.

:02:19. > :02:22.But many who gathered at City Hall today insisted they had to be here.

:02:23. > :02:29.I would disagree with anyone that says it's not appropriate.

:02:30. > :02:32.I think it brings people together, it's a way to express your feelings

:02:33. > :02:37.I think it's important that we show it's all types

:02:38. > :02:40.I'm not actually from London, but I just wanted

:02:41. > :02:47.The crowds continued to come, spilling down to the river.

:02:48. > :02:49.Londoners still struggling to make sense of the violence,

:02:50. > :03:01.The Metropolitan Police Commissioner said today the authorities are now

:03:02. > :03:03.confronting a "new reality" with three terror attacks

:03:04. > :03:09.Saturday night was also the first time Scotland Yard issued a warning

:03:10. > :03:12.during an attack asking people to "run, hide and tell"

:03:13. > :03:17.Our home affairs correspondent, Nick Beake, looks at what more

:03:18. > :03:22.could be done to help keep our city safe.

:03:23. > :03:24.The moment Londoners had been told to prepare for became

:03:25. > :03:33.Knifemen were on the loose, rampaging through Borough Market.

:03:34. > :03:35.That's why, at 11:46pm, for the first time ever,

:03:36. > :03:42.the Metropolitan Police tweeted this instruction, run, hide, tell.

:03:43. > :03:46.The best option is to evacuate but only do so if it won't put

:03:47. > :03:52.For the past 18 months we have been urged to know what to do

:03:53. > :03:56.The officer in charge of policing Borough Market praised the public's

:03:57. > :04:00.We don't put these things out unless we really need

:04:01. > :04:02.to but the community know what to do, they reacted

:04:03. > :04:08.People did as they were asked and other people acted heroically

:04:09. > :04:11.and got in there and helped other people and protected one another

:04:12. > :04:17.and helped officers and I can't speak highly enough.

:04:18. > :04:19.They were absolutely outstanding on the day.

:04:20. > :04:22.But the man who last year reviewed how well London was prepared

:04:23. > :04:25.for a terror attack is urging Londoners to do more

:04:26. > :04:30.It needs to be part of everyday life, that you automatically know

:04:31. > :04:34.that in the event of an incident like that, you run away from danger.

:04:35. > :04:37.If you can't run because you are boxed in or whatever else,

:04:38. > :04:40.then you hide as well as you can and as soon as you're safe,

:04:41. > :04:43.make contact with the police to let them know that

:04:44. > :04:47.you are there and that however many other people are there with you.

:04:48. > :04:49.This morning the police brought temporary barriers

:04:50. > :04:59.On Saturday night, once again, pedestrians were run over

:05:00. > :05:03.You will see from Whitehall that there are permanent solutions

:05:04. > :05:06.put in place after 7/7 and that is what we are

:05:07. > :05:11.It looks like more barriers in busy parts of London

:05:12. > :05:15.But this is a specific response to a specific threat,

:05:16. > :05:19.people trying to use a vehicle to target pedestrians.

:05:20. > :05:28.On Saturday night, the attackers also had knives.

:05:29. > :05:30.In Manchester it was an explosive device.

:05:31. > :05:32.The terror threat we face is evolving.

:05:33. > :05:34.I think what is happening is unprecedented.

:05:35. > :05:38.There is very strange ways that people are going about what's

:05:39. > :05:41.happening and we are faced with scenarios that we have never

:05:42. > :05:44.seen before so it is hard as police to plan for this sort of thing.

:05:45. > :05:48.No-one quite knows how the city will look and feel

:05:49. > :05:51.in the coming months and years, as it confronts a different

:05:52. > :06:02.While there have been heart-breaking accounts of how the horrific events

:06:03. > :06:03.on Saturday unfolded, we've also heard heart-warming

:06:04. > :06:11.Ordinary people showing remarkable courage and compassion.

:06:12. > :06:14.Our correspondent Karl Mercer has been speaking to some of the medical

:06:15. > :06:17.staff who rushed to help those injured.

:06:18. > :06:23.London's NHS was tested once again on Saturday night.

:06:24. > :06:25.From the front line paramedics who treated people around

:06:26. > :06:27.Borough Market, to the specialist trauma teams who cared

:06:28. > :06:33.People like Malik Ramadhan, a doctor at the Royal London in Whitechapel,

:06:34. > :06:37.cycling home when he saw dozens of police cars shoot past him.

:06:38. > :06:40.He turned round and went back to work just as the first

:06:41. > :06:47.I think what was perhaps different was if we take 12 casualties

:06:48. > :06:51.normally there will be a range of injuries and severity but all 12

:06:52. > :06:55.of the people we received were very severely injured.

:06:56. > :06:58.The thing that was perhaps different was the clear lethality.

:06:59. > :07:02.The stab wounds were designed to kill people.

:07:03. > :07:05.There were no little slices, there were no flesh wounds,

:07:06. > :07:07.they were all very deep, penetrating injuries

:07:08. > :07:17.And they all needed an operation, they all needed something to repair

:07:18. > :07:23.London's Ambulance Service sent 80 medics to the scene,

:07:24. > :07:27.eventually taking 48 patients to hospitals across the capital.

:07:28. > :07:32.There were lots and lots of patients and quite confusing information

:07:33. > :07:37.Lots of members of the police and the public did some quite heroic

:07:38. > :07:40.things to try and save the lives of people who had been

:07:41. > :07:45.14 patients remain at Kings College Hospital,

:07:46. > :07:49.The predominant injuries we're treating are stab

:07:50. > :07:52.wounds to the head, neck, torso and abdomen.

:07:53. > :07:55.We have also got a number of patients who suffered blunt force

:07:56. > :08:01.trauma as well from probably being hit by a vehicle.

:08:02. > :08:06.And how do you deal with the relatives when they come in?

:08:07. > :08:11.That's something that's been more difficult than normal,

:08:12. > :08:16.a huge range of nationalities and couples and I think that's

:08:17. > :08:21.something that's been quite different for us,

:08:22. > :08:26.a series of couples walking along the bridge had been knocked down.

:08:27. > :08:30.Some people have pushed their loved one out of the way of the van

:08:31. > :08:34.who are now injured and so we've had to cope with the feelings

:08:35. > :08:38.of people who aren't injured but were also part of the events.

:08:39. > :08:45.As well as looking after the person who is injured from the event.

:08:46. > :08:48.Unfortunately I've dealt with a number of incidents like this

:08:49. > :08:52.before so while I wouldn't say it's become a normality, I have a way

:08:53. > :08:55.of coping with it and I'll sit back and reflect on what went one

:08:56. > :09:00.and reflect on the excellent care that the team here has delivered.

:09:01. > :09:03.I look round and I can see a bunch of world-class people saving lives

:09:04. > :09:17.To think I was temporarily leading the team is incredibly humbling.

:09:18. > :09:27.I'll leave you with Elizabeth for a check on the weather.

:09:28. > :09:34.Hopefully it's drier. Not exactly, it will be quite

:09:35. > :09:38.unsettled for the rest of the week. A soggy end to the day and there

:09:39. > :09:43.will be more rain tonight. The general theme for the week is wet

:09:44. > :09:47.and windy at times, feeling more like October than June for much of

:09:48. > :09:53.the week. Particularly windy tomorrow with strong gusts of wind,

:09:54. > :09:57.but also some sunshine and drier weather. Wednesday and Thursday are

:09:58. > :10:00.looking like the dry days. Overnight, the rain will clear

:10:01. > :10:07.towards the north-east, gradually turning lighter and more patchy into

:10:08. > :10:11.tomorrow morning. Still some rain to clear through the morning rush hour

:10:12. > :10:17.tomorrow so expect further outbreaks of rain, most liked and patchy. The

:10:18. > :10:27.wind will pick up in the afternoon, up to 40 mph, perhaps enough to take

:10:28. > :10:31.down some branches in places. It will feel quite cool where we get

:10:32. > :10:36.blustery showers. Wednesday is looking drier. Some good spells of

:10:37. > :10:41.sunshine. It will still be quite breezy. On Thursday, the rain is

:10:42. > :10:45.back and that will sweep in from the West. We are likely to see rain for

:10:46. > :10:50.the second half of the day on Thursday. Friday is looking like our

:10:51. > :10:54.second dry day. Quite a bit of cloud, but spells of sunshine and

:10:55. > :11:01.temperatures will be creeping up. As we look ahead to the weekend, more

:11:02. > :11:03.rain, particularly on Saturday. Sunday is a big improvement and

:11:04. > :11:04.rain, particularly on Saturday. Sunday is a big improvement and it

:11:05. > :11:15.will feel the touch warmer. Good evening. It wasn't flaming June

:11:16. > :11:22.today with all of that rain and wind. Really gusty winds and it will

:11:23. > :11:30.get windier. Of us tomorrow. Lots of grey skies across the UK. By the

:11:31. > :11:32.time we get to Wednesday, the weather is going to briefly improve.

:11:33. > :11:33.In
