He was 22 year old Youssef Zaghba, who was an Italian National of moroccan descent. Its emerged that last year italian authorities stopped him travelling tojoin so called is in syria. It is being reported in italy that he was placed on a watchlist and the british authorities were tipped off. Tonight there are questions about how one of the other two killers khuram butt slipped through the net after hed been investigated two yea rs net after hed been investigated two years ago. Our home editor mark easton reports. The faces of a self appointed death squad, we now know the identities of all three men who went on a Killing Spree in london on saturday night, today, Police Naming Youssef Zaghba is the third member of the gang, born in morocco, to a moroccan father and italian mother, 22 years old, he recently moved to these london where he worked in a restau ra nt, london where he worked in a restaurant, last year he was stopped by Security Forces at Bologna Airport, in italy, on suspicion of trying to make his way to fight in syria, literature relating to so called Islamic State was in his bag. Based on the italian Terror Watch Uk Police today said neither they nor mi5 regarded him as a person of interest. In italy, a prosecutor claimed today that british authorities had been tipped off about Youssef Zaghba, who lived at this house in bologna, one of his relatives said he hoped to find a job in the uk. Translation he went to london, he was away for two or three months and then he came back, he was here for a month and then he told his mother, im leaving, he there is nothing and in london i can work. The fact it was a Terror Suspect in italy adds to the pressure on British Security services to explain why they were called blind ahead of saturdays terrible attack, another member of the gang, khuram butt, was well known to police and mi5, fronting searching questions as to whether more could or should have been done to prevent mass murder. We will look at how this, how the processes we re will look at how this, how the processes were followed, what they did. They will be wanting to look at that, they want to learn lessons for the future, if there are lessons to be learned. He appeared in this channel 4 be learned. He appeared in this channel a documentary. On radical islamist, last year, linking into extremist preacher anjem choudary, now injailfor extremist preacher anjem choudary, now in jail for encouraging support for so called Islamic State. Despite this, Security Service interest in him was scaled down. The bbc has described his cv, he describes himself as a motivated, said bass ellis and trusted individual who has worked in security, welcoming guests and securing buildings. He worked on the London Underground last year, but claimed his responsibilities included assisting Customer Evacuation where necessary. In pakistan today, his uncle said he was ashamed and said his Nephew S Victims were constantly on his mind. I dont know why he would do this. What they would do this. Who would know anyone to push them and to hit them. Nobody knows. Some have suggested the killings might have been prevented if any of the men had been prevented if any of the men had been subject to a court order known asa t pim, been subject to a court order known as a t pim, restricting freedom of Terror Suspects not convicted of a crime. The man who until recently officially reviewed let is legislation for the government said they would need thousands of orders to stop such attacks. They have been useful and they could be used more, if that is what police and mi5 decide is appropriate but they will never be used on a mass scale and thatis never be used on a mass scale and that is because they are designed for people in respect of whom we have strong evidence that they are involved in terrorism. More detail emerged today about the last member of the three man gang, North African born rachid redouane, Living In Dublin for a time before relocating to east london and married to a british citizen. Was this where he lived . A british citizen. Was this where he lived 7 a house british citizen. Was this where he lived . A House In Ilford was targeted and a Counterterror Operation Earlier today. At iiam, britain was encouraged to stop for one minute, to pause and reflect on the events of saturday night. Through the minds of many will run the question, why did this have to happen. Joining me from new Scotland Yard is our home affairs correspondent, daniel sandford. Looking back, in each of the last three terror attacks, at least one of the perpetrators has been known to authorities. It is all having a rather familiar ring to it. To authorities. It is all having a Ratherfamiliar Ring to it. Did not Ta Ke Ratherfamiliar ring to it. Did not take us long today to find out that the third of the men to be named, Youssef Zaghba, had been stopped by Italian Police at Bologna Airport in march, last year, on his way to turkey, leave to be travelling to syria. They did not have enough evidence to prosecute but they had put him on to the europe wide information system, the schengen information system, the schengen information system, the schengen information system, accessible here in the uk, and italian prosecutors insisted they had also told British Intelligence officials directly. Scotla nd intelligence officials directly. Scotland yard would not comment on that today, but yesterday, they did tell us that the first of the men to be named, khuram butt, had been investigated by them and mi5 since 2015, and investigated by them and m15 since 2015, and of course, that, that, that led to him slipping down the list of priorities, because they had not seen any evidence of attack planning. That is the problem we have got, it used to be the Security Services were looking out for men trying to get hold of bomb making equipment, trying to get hold of weapons. All these men had to do was go to be and queue, hire a van and get hold of some knives, you could have planned it in an afternoon. B q. That is very difficult to spot. As we heard, across the country, from glasgow to cardiff and london, a minutes silence has been held to remember the victims of saturdays attack. Today australian kirsty boden became the third victim to be named. And, in the last few minutes, a French National who was killed, alexandre pigeard, French National who was killed, alexandre pigea rd, has French National who was killed, alexandre pigeard, has also been named. Alison holt reports on how the second time in a fortnight people have been paying tribute to those killed and injured in an act of terror. V0|ceover a time to voiceover a time to remember, a time to reflect on an attack at the heart of london. Time to stand together, on the streets where it happened. The Ambulance Crews who fought so ha rd to the Ambulance Crews who fought so hard to save lives, londons mayor, at their side. Manchester, still roar from the violence inflicted here, just two weeks ago. Raw. And beyond. In these quiet moments, for some, the anguish is too much. Nicola smith wanted to remember her ex boyfriend. James mcmullan was one of the seven People Killed on saturday, and she is struggling to understand why. I feel anger, saturday, and she is struggling to understand why. Ifeel anger, buti cant let that override my feeling forjames and our memories, because i know that is what he wanted. Me, asa i know that is what he wanted. Me, as a person, i am extremely angry. Because i have been with james, i know that i cannot let anger when. And today, 28 year old australian, ki rsty and today, 28 year old australian, kirsty boden, was also named among those who died, she was a newly promoted senior nurse at guy s hospital, who ran to help others that night. There was absolutely nothing at all she would not do for somebody. She never saw bad in anybody. Even if they were all having a bad day, kirsty was the person who was going to make you smile. Others are still missing, including a Woman Working in london asa including a Woman Working in london as a nanny, she is also in london, she is is trailing, and herfamily have heard nothing of sara zelenak since the attack. She doesnt drink, doesnt do drugs, doesnt do anything wrong, she is amazing, a very spirited person, she is 21 yea rs very spirited person, she is 21 years old. And for those caught up in the attack and their families, there remain many questions still to be answered about what happened. In the days since the London Bridge attack, stories have emerged of extraordinary courage, notjust among the police, but by onlookers caught up in the atrocity. As our Special Correspondent lucy manning reports, they had just seconds to react and they did so without thinking of their own welfare. Stabbed in the side of my stomach and chest. I have got slashes on the neck, head, and here. A football fan, roy, a man who took on the terrorists with shouts of, im millwall i said, john not getting in here i dont know why i did it, but i did. I said, dont attack the children and families. I said, youre not getting in here. The police were firing on them, straightaway, as i was turned black and blue. For me, stopping them getting in there and hurting a lot of people, being shot around me. Feel quite bad myself. Doing what i did. A spaniard also fought the three attackers, with his skateboard, and he is still missing, he has been named as Ignacio Echeverria. His friend will was with him and he did not want to be identified. He did not even think about it, he just jumped identified. He did not even think about it, Hejustjumped In and was hitting the terrorists. Will. He was hitting them with his skateboard, several times. The next thing i remember, itried to approach the group, then i realised they had knives, and one of them stabbed my friend. He is a hero. Bloody hero, cracking man. Isaw stabbed my friend. He is a hero. Bloody hero, cracking man. I saw the Policeman Running to tackle them. As soon Policeman Running to tackle them. As soon as Policeman Running to tackle them. As soon as he got to the group, he got knocked. If the policeman in that moment had a gun, everything would be solved. Nobly would have been injured. The family of Ignacio Echeverria say they are in pain and they are appealing to spanish and british authorities for information. This guy is a real hero, you know why, no you are, im being real. Jeff ho, with friends sitting up in a hospital bed, the stab wound in his hospital bed. Thejournalist a hospital bed, the stab wound in his hospital bed.

Rj ward has got the skills, he is going to prevail fight in a statement today, mr ho described how he took on the attackers. I think ithinkl i think i got a hit in on one of them, but either he or the accomplice got me with a shot to the throat. Terrible injuries for many, the scars from fighting back. A leading organisation in the fight against extremism in britain has revealed that four years ago a staff member was involved in a confrontation with khuram butt, one of the three killers. Dr usama hasan, of quilliam international, reported butt to Counter Terrorism police. Hes been telling our Special Correspondent, ed thomas, about his surprise that nothing was done. Known to police, known to m15, and today, the bbc has been told of another warning, that corum but was another warning, that corum but was an extremist. I had to run for my safety a nd an extremist. I had to run for my safety and for my life that day. This man says he came face to face with the london attacker, at a familyfunfair in with the london attacker, at a Family Funfair injuly with the london attacker, at a Family Funfair in july last year during eid. He said, how do you come toa during eid. He said, how do you come to a muslim event, you are a nonbeliever, he began screaming abuse at me, he said, you take money from the government to work against muslims. You spy on muslims. You believe in gay marriage and you are an apostate. His family took these photographs of khuram butt at the festival, moments later, violence. Physically, what did he do . He tried to assault me, iran at me, he ran at me within its ration of hatred in his face. Did he touch you . A scuffle broke out and at one point, i pressed into the ground. He says that he ran, while his family took more pictures for evidence. He believes he was targeted because of his work countering extremism at the foundation. Full of hate. Ifelt intimidated. Enter he was kicked out of the local mosque. Banned from the local mosque for causing trouble. Did you ring the Police Straightaway . for causing trouble. Did you ring the Police Straightaway .

We asked the police to respond to these allegations. Last night i couldnt sleep. I felt very upset and angry that we, as a society, had not been able to stop this man. Regret, because within six months khuram butt had killed seven people, injurying dozens more. Our Political Editor Laura Kuenssberg has been looking at how it is affecting a campaign that has seen it is affecting a campaign that has seen not one but two terror attacks. A spot of rain after seven weeks on the road, not enough to put them off. Has everyone got one . Placards at the ready as the pm was about to arrive, but the subject is serious security. After the london attacks. Reporter morning Prime Minister. Morning. Who do you trust to maintain your National Security . Somebody who has boasted that he has opposed every piece of anti terror legislation since he came into parliament. Yes, shame on him. Or me and the conservatives. As Home Secretary i put through strengthened anti terror legislation. Secretary i put through strengthened antiterror legislation. Do you fear, as many be members of the public might do, that there were intelligence failures in this case or do we have to accept in 2017 that, no r no matter how hard we try, some terrorists may slip through . Is the police and Security Service have done a good job in foiling a number of plots, just five in the last three months, and a significant number since in the last few years. They will want to learn lessons for the future. If there are those lessons to be learnt. Thank you very much everybody. Thank you. With repeated questions on her record, security could be a hindrance as well as a political help. We have the tory party having to ask very serious questions about whether or not the security was good enough. We answered those questions. People feel safer in their beds supporting theresa may. I certainly do. For all this looks like a traditional election campaign. Thank you. It has been anything but. Two terror attacks, disrupting the oh so casual conversations. The smile for the cameras. But that hasnt dimed the cameras. But that hasnt dimed the corbyn crowds enthusiasm. Jeremy corbyn is cheered to the rafters almost everywhere he goes. Just as theresa may faces questions about her security record he, too is under pressure. Everywhere we go, the crowds get bigger. How would labour plan to combat terror . Im worried if they havent got the resources to do the job. There has to bea resources to do the job. There has to be a report on both manchester and london as to what level of information was available on those people and then be decide if more resources a re necessary people and then be decide if more resources are necessary in order to prevent this sort of thing happening again. You cant cut 20,000 policemen off the beat and expect the same security you had before they were cut. Thatsjust not possible. Its not the ideological approach that theresa may is taking that we have to police peoples minds. It really is about the numbers of people on the ground. Minds. It really is about the numbers of people on the groundlj think we need to just look after each other. Love one another. I think thats more important. Strident bely different tone from ukip. Islamist extremism is a cancer within our society and it is a cancer that needs to be put out. Also on the back foot in the campaign, the lib dems, urging caution. Sadly, we discovered that those people guilty of the pathetic, cowardly murders in manchester and london in the last fortnight are people known to the Security Services. The question is not intelligence and new powers, its having the resources to keep us safe. Security, the one issue that matters in every corner of the country. We have an opportunity in scotla nd country. We have an opportunity in scotland to send a real message about the kind of country that we wa nt to about the kind of country that we want to be. Theresa mays on the ropes in this election. Its no longer inevitably she will get a bigger majority. Events, events mean this elections has not gone according to her carefully worked out plan. In an election that after all she didnt have to call. Laura kuenssberg, bbc news, telford. So security may be dominating the closing stages of the election campaign, but overall its been the economy, the nhs and brexit that have divided the parties. So where do each of the parties stand . In a moment well hearfrom do each of the parties stand . In a moment well hear from our Health Editor hugh pym and our europe editor, katya adler, but first heres our economics editor, kamal ahmed. Whether youre a voter out shopping or battling to be the next Prime Minister, there are three big economic challenges that are pretty familiar. That Living Standards squeeze, the state of the public finances and that brexit deal. The parties have laid out pretty different approaches, but there is one central promise from all of them they will balance the books, they say, when it comes to government financing. The conservatives say that only they can provide the foundations for a strong economy, for enhanced workers rights and a good brexit deal. But critics say that a theresa may win would only lead to harsher levels of austerity for longer. For labour, the talk is all about a fairer economy. Fewer cuts, more public investment. Yes, they say, that borrowing would rise and there would be higher taxes for the wealthy and for business. When it comes to the eu, they say they want a close relationship. The big challenge, do their sums add up . Now for the liberal democrats, they have also pledged an increase in income tax and have said they will reverse those Public Sector pay freezes. For the snp, they want higher taxes for the wealthy and more investment in those public services. Whoever we vote for on thursday, the economic challenges will remain. Economic growth is slowing, prices are going up. Quite frankly, there are no easy political fixes. The Election Debate on the nhs is largely about england, health is devolved and the administrations in scotland, wales and Northern Ireland dont have elections this time. Money is the dominant issue, how much more will be needed to cope with Rising Patient demand and the complex health needs of an ageing population . The conservatives say theyll spend a bit more than under current plans. Labour and the liberal democrats are planning bigger funding increases, paid for by specific tax rises. But some health think tanks say none of them have come up with enough. Staffing and recruitment is another major challenge. Labour and the liberal democrats both say theyd end pay restraint to allow bigger pay rises for nhs staff. The conservatives want to see thousands more Mental Health staff recruited. As for social care, the debates been dominated by a row over how much people should have to pay to be looked after in a care home or for carers to go to where they live and how much of the bill the state should pick up. Longer term, in varying degrees, the larger parties have all called for Greater Health and social care integration. Well thats fine in theory, but it certainly wont be easy to deliver. Brexit will be a huge issue for whoever ends up in here, one of their firstjobs will be to appoint a chief brexit negotiator, pack them off to brussels and get them to agree with the eu how often theyll meet, what theyll talk about and in which order before real negotiations can begin. The new government will be under big time pressure because under eu rules it only has until march 2019 to agree an exit deal, never mind a future relationship, trade or otherwise, between the uk and the eu. The larger parties differ considerably in their approach approach to brexit. Theresa may promises to be a bloody difficult woman. The conservatives want out out of the european Single Market and out of the Customs Union. Whereas labour wants to retain the benefits of the Single Market and Customs Union though it wants to curb european immigration. The liberal democrats insist that the brexit deal must be put to a popular vote. Whereas the snp want a new independence referendum, so scotland can stay inside the eu. And ukip has been campaigning on a promise to hold the new government to account over brexit. Whatever happens in these elections, the new Prime Minister and government will largely be judged on what kind of a brexit deal they can get and what impact it has on lives here. Some of our bbc editors complaining a few of the issues at the heart of the election. You can read more details about where the parties stand on a Special Section on the bbc website. Visit bbc. Co.
