    When you discover that the victims include not just people who are from London but people from Australia, New Zealand, Canada, France, Spain, and other parts of the world, you realise what a truly global city London is. The acts of these three men on Saturday night was cowardly, was evil, and I'm angry and furious that these three men are seeking to justify their actions by using the faith that I belong to.

    Monday morning - rush hour - the busiest London Bridge ever gets.

    At the best of times the landmark is choked with workers going about their own business - but this Monday morning, most took a moment to glance at the aftermath of the devastation which unfolded just steps away from their offices.

    Reporters from around the world were stationed in front of the cordon, too, gently questioning some of those who took a minute to pay their respects.

    Street corners were covered in flowers, cards and posters - a floral tribute to the people who lost their lives in Saturday's attack.

    "London Bridge will never fall down" and "London United" were the overriding messages rippling through the borough.

    The people of London and visitors - although quiet in thought - were strong and mainly carrying on with life as normal.

    Hedieh from Los Angeles is on holiday in London with her family.

    Quote Message

    We started heading to the underground station when we heard bang, bang, bang, noises of a vehicle approaching and people screaming. It was all so surreal, we knew immediately it was a terrorist attack. It was happening, right there, to us. I hid immediately behind a closed newspaper stand, in a corner where I felt relatively safe. I heard my sister yelling my name to make sure I was OK. We knew we had to get out of there. We don't know the area very well so we had no idea where to go. We went back out to the street and it was complete chaos. People were running, yelling, confused, hysterical. It took us three hours to get back to our hotel. Thankfully we were all unscathed.”

  11. PM on police cuts: 'It's not just about resource but powers officers have'published at 12:11 British Summer Time 5 June 2017

    BBC News Channel

    BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg asked the prime minister if reversing cuts to police numbers would show greater leadership. She also says that the most direct experience members of the public have that they are being kept safe is by seeing police officers on the streets - and says that control orders for monitoring terrorists had been "watered down".

    Theresa May replies, saying control orders had been knocked down in the courts, which is why she had ensured the police had powers within their remit to ward against "people who will do us harm".

    She said the government had funded an increase of 1,500 armed officers, adding "it's not just about the resource but the powers the people have".

    I fully support the police on shoot to kill and we saw on Saturday night how important it was for them to be able to act on our streets to protect British citizens".

  12. May: Commission on countering extremism will boost counter terrorismpublished at 12:09 British Summer Time 5 June 2017

    BBC News Channel

    In a further question on police cuts, Mrs May says she does believe "a more robust approach" needs to be taken to deal with extremism in this country

    While progress has been made in counter terrorism, "I think we've seen too much tolerance of extremism in our society so we do need to deal with it".

    This is why the UK will be the first country to introduce a commission on countering extremism, she says, adding that this will work with the public sector, civil society, organisations and individuals to help people identify extremism.

    "I believe that will help us in that necessary task of stamping out extremism," she said.

    "Please attend appointments as planned, but bring your appointment letter and photo ID. Allow more time to travel."

  14. Theresa May: Shoot to kill on Saturday saved 'countless lives'published at 11:49 British Summer Time 5 June 2017

    BBC News Channel

    Theresa May

    Theresa May says the Met Police shoot-to-kill policy had "saved countless lives" during Saturday's London Bridge terror attack.

    The prime minister was defending her record as a former home secretary following Labour's accusation that while in the post she was responsible for a cut in police numbers.

    Mrs May said she supported the shoot-to-kill policy "absolutely", adding: "Those police officers within eight minutes had shot the three attackers and killed them and that saved countless lives."

    She said that Met Police chief Cressida Dick had said her force was well resourced, adding that the government had protected counter terrorism policing budgets, funded an uplift in number of armed officers and protected police budgets.

    "I've been responsible for giving police extra powers for dealing with terrorism - and Jeremy Corbyn has boasted that he has opposed those powers," she added.

  16. Police need to reassess counter-terrorismpublished at 11:34 British Summer Time 5 June 2017

    BBC News Channel

    Daniel Sandford

    Daniel Sandford, the BBC's home affairs correspondent, says the Metropolitan Police has acknowledged there is a need to reassess how it deals with counter-terrorism following the growth in people using less sophisticated weapons to kill - such as driving vehicles and using knives.

    He said: "There is some satisfaction here at Scotland Yard that when this attack happened on Saturday night, it was dealt with quickly, swiftly and aggressively."

    But he says the big question facing the police is: "'How do we now try to intercept these very simple attacks further up the line?' and I don't think anyone really has the answer to that at the moment."

  17. Baker fights attackers 'with crates'published at 11:29 British Summer Time 5 June 2017

    Florin Morariu

    Romanian baker Florin Morariu has been described as a hero on social media.

    The man, who works at Bread Ahead bakery in Borough Market, saw a commotion outside the shop on Saturday evening.

    He invited some distressed Brazilian women into the shop and gave them a glass of water. They explained that three men were stabbing revellers in the market.

    He said he grabbed two crates and went outside to find the attackers and defend the injured.

    Speaking to the Victoria Derbyshire show, he said: "I felt pity for the victims, I didn't know how to handle things or react, I thought to myself I'm also in danger.

    "I just threw the crate at [one of the attackers]. I threw the first crate and I knew he was going to dodge it. While he was dodging it I walked towards him and hit him in the head with the other crate."

    He then said a policeman shouted at him to stand back.

    The officer then discharged a grenade.
