    As union leaders call for spending cuts to transport in London to be reversed in the wake of recent terror attacks, London Underground (LU) has insisted safety is paramount.

    LU operations director Steve White said: "The safety of our customers and staff is our top priority and we work with the police, emergency services and the Government to prepare for, and deal with, any threats to the security of the transport network.

    "Our station staff are supported by the London Underground Control Centre, which operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, working closely with the police, with access to CCTV cameras and other systems in order to manage and respond to incidents.

    "We are recruiting at least 650 new station staff this year, of which 325 will be additional new roles. There are also around 3,000 uniformed officers dedicated to policing our transport network including British Transport Police, Metropolitan Police Roads and Transport Policing Command and City of London Police."

    Borough Market is to reopen for business tomorrow after it was forced to close in the wake of the London Bridge terror attack.

    Traders will pause for a minute's silence to remember the victims of the 3 June atrocity before the market bell is rung to mark the return of shoppers.

    Donald Hyslop, chair of trustees, said the opening would represent the beginning of the "healing process" for the Borough Market community.

    Mr Hyslop said: "While the victims of last week's terror attack will never be forgotten, and while the trauma experienced by this community will weigh heavily for a long time to come, it is essential for the well-being of everyone associated with Borough Market that we return to at least a semblance of normality as soon as we can.

    "On Wednesday the bell will ring, the stalls will open, customers will start to arrive and the healing process will begin."

    Members of London's Somali Bravanese community broke their Ramadan fast in Finchley synagogue on Sunday night.

    The Jewish community invited them to use their synagogue after the community centre used by the Bravanese as a place of worship was burned down by an arsonist in 2013 in an alleged Islamophobic attack following the killing of the British soldier Lee Rigby.

    The Bravanese come from a port town called Brava on the southeastern coast of Somalia but their heritage is a mix of Yemeni, Omani, Portuguese and Persian.

    They were badly persecuted during Somalia’s civil war and many fled the country in the early 1990s.
