What you saw yesterday we re the area. What you saw yesterday were people running towards danger. We all have the benefit of hindsight, they did not. They saw a man with a big knife and another knife. They saw a man with a belt around him which for all and purposes could have been an explosive belt, and suicide vest. And they ran towards him to stop him hurting other people. What many are asking is what was being done to monitor the convicted terrorists who went on to kill . Katharine da costa, bbc news. 0ur news correspondent katharine da costa is at London Bridge. Just update us at where the investigation is now. Yes, there is a large Police Cordon in place. You can see a number of buses and vehicles that were abandoned yesterday have yet to be cleared. There is a visible police presence. Patrols have been stepped up. There is also a property being searched in stafford. Yesterday the met police said this was a fast moving dynamic investigation. They named the suspect as 28 year old usman khan. He was jailed in 2012 and released on licence in december last year. They say that although this is at early stages of investigation, they believe he acted alone, but they will be looking at what the motivation was. Whether there is any existing threat to the public. And questions will be raised about how closely he was being monitored. There will be more cobra emergency meetings this morning.

Katharine da costa there on London Bridge. As weve been hearing, police have been searching a house in stafford in the english midlands. 0ur correspondent liz copper has more from there about usman khan. Well, we are here at an address on wolverhampton road in stafford, it is quite close to the town centre and there has been a considerable amount of Police Activity here. You can probably see it is a large property, it is all cordoned off. There are Staffordshire Police officers on the cordon, but while i have been here in the last few minutes, ive seen vehicles from the metropolitan Police Service arriving here. And reports locally that police have been here since yesterday afternoon. Now we do not know what connection if any there is to khan here, but there certainly is a very good deal of Police Activity. Of course, khan was very much on the radar of the authorities here in staffordshire, following his conviction in 2012. And his release subsequently on licence. Now i think there will be questions, notjust in london, asked, but also questions here asked in staffordshire about the terms of that licence and also how he was being monitored. That was liz copper. Lets go now to Borough Market where we can speak to Becky Coletto and kate towers who have a stall there. Good morning. Are you open for your customers today . We are. And it has been astounding everyone has come down and we are back working. Tell us down and we are back working. Tell us what happened to you yesterday. We we re us what happened to you yesterday. We were trading as usual, it was a beautiful day, very busy in the market. We became aware at that something was happening on the bridge. There were helicopters. We could see people on the balconies watching something on the bridge. It was very unclear it wasnt until sometime after narrative 2 30pm, that people were running away from the bridge and that is when we all left our stalls and had to find somewhere safe to be. Where did you go . We ran out of the market towards the river and then carried on to a pub. We felt like we should be inside. To be went to a nearby pub until we were asked to leave there. We we re until we were asked to leave there. We were evacuated from there. Further down the river until we were able to come back later on that day. You didnt actually see or hear anything of the incident that you we re anything of the incident that you were caught up in the evacuation. Yes, exactly. That must have still been pretty frightening. Yes, exactly. That must have still been pretty frighteningm yes, exactly. That must have still been pretty frightening. It was terrifying. There was not a lot of communication when we left the market. All we knew is that people we re market. All we knew is that people were evacuating and police urging eve ryo ne were evacuating and police urging everyone to get out. I think people in generalwere very. Everyone to get out. I think people in general were very. They didnt know what was going to happen next. In terms of the location, Borough Market, it is a second time that we have seen an attack in recent years. Doesnt make people think about working there or that location. People are determined to carry on as normal. Everyone loves it. Yes, exactly i think everyone is really proud to work here. But there is extra security there today i guess. Yes, but we were very happy to see customers turn out as early as they did this morning. To be part of the market again. We have even seen people who we saw earlier in the week come back especially. People who we saw earlier in the week come back especiallylj people who we saw earlier in the week come back especially. I know it is early days and it is less than 2a hours ago the attack, there have been security measures put in and around roads and bridges in recent yea rs. Around roads and bridges in recent years. Is there any sense that more could be done . It is very hard because people want to be able to get on with their lives and in a day to day fashion. It isjust such a hard balance between the two. |j think the traders here think they have a good security presence. There area have a good security presence. There are a lot of plainclothes Police Officers around so the traders are in good personal communication. I think they feel there is a good presence. Like he said i dont know what really could else be done. When the attack was actually happening, it was not clear what was going on, but do you think there are any lessons you would take away from what happened . Lessons you would take away from what happened . That these attacks are sadly happening all around us and they will presumably go on.

Other leading Party Figures paid tribute to the Emergency Services involved in the London Bridge attack at the start of last nights bbc tv debate. That was the first sentiment expressed. The liberal democrat leader said. The s p leader said. Earlier on breakfast we spoke to the security minister, brandon lewis. We asked him what reassurance he could give that there arent any other convicted terrorists free who could be risk. It is important to say, as the police have said, they are not at this moment looking for any other suspects. They are confident about the suspect they have named and they are not looking for any further suspects. In terms of peoples ability to be secure in the knowledge that, actually, all of us, quite rightly, should be go about our lives today as we would on any other day. Tour guide stevie hurst was one of those who helped to restrain the attacker. Hes been speaking to 5 live. His account contains some graphic details. Well, we saw, just sort of a handful of people running away from a direction to the left of us, on the left hand side, from south to north, and i dont know why, but i felt compelled to jump out of the car to go and see what the situation was. And we saw a guy being accosted to the floor. I ran over to investigate what was going on and the guys were just screaming, hes stabbed a couple of women. Im guessing from the bar, from the fishmongers bar. So they were screaming that. So everyone was just on top of him, trying to bundle him to the ground, and we saw that the knife was still in his hand, he was covered in blood. The knife was still in his hand, so ijust put a foot in to try and kick him in head. We were trying to do as much as we could to try to dislodge the knife from his hand so he wouldnt harm anyone else. So the guys that were there were just amazing. Incredible people. Heroes beyond belief. The police were there within minutes, which was incredible. They started to drag all of us off, and that is when you see the guy that had the knife with the suit, he is. He has found a knife that has been dislodged, it kind of went down the side of the pavement, he has picked it up and taken it away, because we wanted to make sure that that is all that he had. We wanted to make sure that we dislodged that so he couldnt harm anyone else. But as the police were dragging him off, he rolls onto his back, and that is when they scream, bomb so that is when we noticed that he was wearing a bomb vest of some kind. He has got some sort of bomb device connected to him, and that is when everyone started to step back. And my long green coat, in all of the videos, i have just realised that is very obvious. We have all stepped back. He tried to get up. But the funny thing is, when we were kicking and holding him to the ground, the guy was constantly screaming, get off me get off me , as if everyone wasjust going to let him go and do his thing. But we wanted to make sure that he was never going to do this again, he is never going to harm another single human being on this planet. The police put three rounds into his chest from his back and hes still lying on the floor putting the coat over him to try and, i dont know, keep himself warm, knowing that hes about to die. That was an eyewitness tear. Lets remind you of the headlines on bbc news today. Passers by are hailed for their bravery on London Bridge yesterday as its revealed the attacker they restrained before he was shot dead by police was a convicted terrorist. The attacker has been named as usman khan he killed two people and injured three more they are now recovering in hospital. An address linked to khan is being searched in stafford he was on license after being automatically released from prison. A manhunt is under way after three young people were stabbed in an attack on a busy shopping street in the hague in netherlands. Images and videos on social media show dozens of black friday shoppers running away from the scene. The three people who were stabbed were treated in hospital and later discharged. The attackers identity and motive still appear to be unknown. The families of two Police Officers who died when their helicopter crashed into the clutha pub in glasgow six years ago have spoken out in support of the pilot. An inquiry ruled last month that the crash happened because pilot david traill took a chance and ignored fuel warnings, killing the crew and 7 people in the pub. But family members of officers killed say they trusted the pilot implicitly. Train Companies Across the uk have confirmed that rail fares will rise by an average of two point seven percent in the new year. It means that from january some Long Distance commuters will see their season tickets go up by more than a hundred pounds. Some general election Campaign Events have been suspended, in response to the London Bridge attack. The stabbings overshadowed the latest televised debate, which brought together senior figures from seven parties, who discussed issues including brexit, the nhs and climate change. Nick eardley reports. Welcome to cardiff and the National Assembly for wales. In a fractious political period, last nights debate began on a sombre note. Once again, london and the country as a whole are having to come to terms with a horrific terror attack. Two members of the public are now dead, as is the man who attacked them, others are injured, some seriously. Politicians paying tribute to the London BridgeFirst Responders and discussing how to tackle the security threat. Soon, though, things returned to other election issues. There were tense exchanges between labour and the conservatives on how theyd spend money if they win power, and questions raised about whether Boris Johnson could fulfil his promise to get brexit done if he wins power. The tories say yes but some say its not true. Michel barnier said it will take up to three years and thats before you add us trade talks or trade talks with any other organisations or countries that will put, potentially, our nhs on the table. We are in episode one of a ten season box set and if you dont like what youve seen up until now, you dont have to watch the rest. Critics of the conservatives say a no deal exit will be back on the table if they win because they said they wont extend the next part of talks on future trade beyond 2020 but their representative last night, rishi sunak, said a deal could be done. You said he couldnt get a brexit deal, it will be possible, but he did, he got a great new deal and got it in three months plaid cymru, meanwhile, were less than impressed with Jeremy Corbyns plan to stay neutral. No wonder people dont have faith in politicians when the leader of the labour party, the candidate to be Prime Minister, wont even tell us where he stands on this central question. While the greens were critical of a lib dem proposal to cancel brexit even though the parties are working together in some seats. I do think that to go for a unilateral revocation is a slap in the face of 17. 4 Million People who voted to leave so thats why i think it is important that people do have their say in a democratic process. They were tense exchanges over the nhs, too. The tories said claims it was for sale were a conspiracy theory. Labour insisted they were genuine. And the snps Nicola Sturgeon agreed. Im going to be pretty blunt here, when borisjohnson says that the nhs is not on the table in a future trade deal, i simply do not trust him and i do not believe him. Nothing is for sale in the nhs. It provides incredible front line care and great outcomes so i would say to lucy, the nhs is not failing but what we do need to do, as well as investing more money, we have to manage it better, thats crucial, and we have to cut out the waste. No game changer but a reminder of the big election issues and the choice we all face when we go to the ballot box in a couple of weeks.

England captainjoe root who failed twice in the first test was still there on 6 at the close. Eight is an opportunity for some people in the middle to put their hand up.

This week protests convulse iran, but also iraq and lebanon. How does all this unrest relate and where does it leave tehran s dream for dominance of the region . Nato leaders are due to meet this week, but how confidently can they predict 70 more years of all for one and one for all . And we re getting close to make your mind up time in the uk election. So what exactly will make up voters minds . My guests this week iranian journalist nazenin ansari, italian film maker annalisa piras, and michael goldfarb, american host of the frdh podcast. We are one guest down this week due to illness, so the other three will have to do more heavy lifting for me. There are conflicting accounts of how many people have died and how many have been arrested in iran in the past fortnight. What started as a wave of protest against rising petrol prices seems to have turned into a wider howl of outrage against crushing inflation and unemployment. Its the biggest show of public defiance to iran s ayatollahs in a decade and they don t like it. Nor can they like what they see in neighbouring iraq, or lebanon, both countries where tehran now exerts huge influence and both of which are also convulsed by public protest
