Good evening. for the news where you are.

:00:00.:00:08.

Six people arrested in Birmingham in connection with Wednesday's

:00:09.:00:11.

attack in Westminster have tonight been released without charge.

:00:12.:00:15.

But a major police investigation is still continuing.

:00:16.:00:19.

Last night, the Metropolitan Police say they made another "significant

:00:20.:00:22.

Another address, another police search.

:00:23.:00:29.

This one in Hockley, in Birmingham, the third of three locations

:00:30.:00:33.

in the city raided by armed officers on Wednesday night

:00:34.:00:36.

They were like - get down, get down, it was really scary at the time

:00:37.:00:42.

because you didn't know what was going on.

:00:43.:00:44.

I looked outside, there were guns everywhere.

:00:45.:00:45.

They were in my garden, over the fences, it was just crazy.

:00:46.:00:48.

It was scary because it was right next door.

:00:49.:00:51.

You don't know who you are living next door to.

:00:52.:00:54.

A low loader turned out to remove three vehicles thought to belong

:00:55.:00:57.

Someone thought the dad came from Saudi Arabia,

:00:58.:01:01.

The man arrested had been living here for about a year

:01:02.:01:07.

One neighbour told me he bumped into him in the park feeding

:01:08.:01:13.

the birds on several occasions, he seemed

:01:14.:01:16.

Another said he kept himself to himself.

:01:17.:01:21.

Nobody has spoken to him, he is not that social.

:01:22.:01:24.

All of a sudden he is arrested and apparently linked

:01:25.:01:30.

A bit mad, a bit mad all on my doorstep.

:01:31.:01:33.

A stone throw away is a property where it is thought

:01:34.:01:36.

described as significant, a total of eight people have now

:01:37.:01:42.

For those who spent years working to prevent extremism, it is a blow.

:01:43.:01:56.

I think we've been moving in the right direction,

:01:57.:01:58.

although this individual has clearly set us back with the level

:01:59.:02:00.

of the attack and audacity of it where we have seen a number

:02:01.:02:03.

of people killed and injured and a police officer stabbed

:02:04.:02:06.

Questions remain, was Khalid Masood acting alone or were others

:02:07.:02:09.

In the search for answers this city remains the focus.

:02:10.:02:16.

Our reporter Kathryn Stanczyszyn is in Birmingham city

:02:17.:02:18.

What more can you tell us, Kathryn, about those arrested

:02:19.:02:24.

Well, what we do know is that all six of those told the night that

:02:25.:02:38.

they are free to go with no further action being taken over Wednesday's

:02:39.:02:42.

attack had been arrested in Birmingham. They include a

:02:43.:02:46.

21-year-old woman and a 23-year-old man arrested at one address, also

:02:47.:02:51.

four other people in their 20s picked up a separate addresses in

:02:52.:02:55.

Birmingham, a woman and three men. All of those are now out of custody.

:02:56.:03:02.

Four others remain in police custody pending further enquiries, two of

:03:03.:03:06.

them from Birmingham, a 58-year-old man and a 27-year-old man who was

:03:07.:03:10.

arrested late yesterday. The other two still in custody are from the

:03:11.:03:14.

Manchester area. West Midlands Police have released a statement

:03:15.:03:17.

tonight saying that all six fully cooperated with officers working on

:03:18.:03:22.

the investigation. Assistant Chief Constable Marks Beale said they are

:03:23.:03:28.

very appreciative of their cooperation and support. -- Marcus

Beale. Thank you. A team of scientists in Birmingham

:03:30.:03:31.

and Oxford have made a major breakthrough in the treatment

:03:32.:03:34.

and diagnosis of tuberculosis. Using genome sequencing,

:03:35.:03:36.

they're able to isolate different strains of TB much more quickly,

:03:37.:03:38.

which means patients The X-ray on the left

stages of tuberculosis. 100 years ago recuperation

:03:52.:03:53.

meant rest and fresh air. Then as technology advanced

:03:54.:03:55.

came more breakthroughs. The latest scientific step towards

:03:56.:03:58.

the detection of tuberculosis By the 1970s TB rates in the UK

:03:59.:04:02.

were at an all-time low, but as drug resistance grew,

:04:03.:04:07.

the killer disease came back. Now scientists in Oxford

:04:08.:04:12.

and here in Birmingham have made In a world first they've used

:04:13.:04:14.

genome sequencing to give a more precise diagnosis,

:04:15.:04:20.

far more quickly. Well, this is the machine

:04:21.:04:22.

where all the really interesting 15 samples go in here

:04:23.:04:25.

and for the next 25 hours it works out the DNA scores of each

:04:26.:04:29.

of those examples. Patients will ultimately get better

treatment because it means that the doctors will get those

results and know the individual We are now using one single test

:04:38.:04:39.

which gives us all the information on the identity of the organism,

saying is this TB or some other microbacteria,

what are the drug resistance mutations, so what treatment can

we use and is this related to other strains and should we be looking

:04:55.:04:57.

for a transmission network, to intervene

:04:58.:04:59.

and prevent further spread? Genome sequencing could be used

:05:00.:05:03.

to treat other diseases with massive Most importantly it'll save lives

:05:04.:05:07.

and if we can show that using the most modern technology can

help reduce the time it takes to identify who's got TB,

:05:14.:05:18.

get them on to a treatment programme, then we can move closer

:05:19.:05:20.

to what we all want, which is to eradicate TB

:05:21.:05:26.

from the shores of the country. Instead of spending months

:05:27.:05:28.

in hospital, patients with complex drug resistant cases of TB have been

:05:29.:05:31.

sent home after just a week, with a much better chance

we are actually losing an hour. The clocks going forward

between one and three Celsius. But high pressure dominating our

weather for this weekend. The winds dropping out

a fine and dry start. Lots of lovely sunshine as we head

have been forecasting fine weather for a few days. It has certainly

arrived. Beautiful picture today. The skies are clearing across the
