We know that the attacker hired his car in birmingham. We know that the attacker hired his car in birmingham. Khalid masood stayed at a hotel in brighton the night before carrying out his atrocity. Our Reporterjuliette Parkin has been speaking to the hotels manager. We have been able to put together some of the last known movements of Khalid Masood. We know that he stayed here in this Brighton Hotel the night before he carried that those london attacks. Ejecting here at about one oclock in the afternoon on the tuesday. Staff say he was very friendly, very polite and there was nothing about him to suggest anything suspicious. He used a credit card under the name of Khalid Masood. They even wrote in the book that he was a very friendly and nice guest. One member of staff here is from birmingham, he said he was from birmingham and they chatted about that. The manager said that he personally welcomed him and he seemed a nice, polite man. He even parked his car in this car park. It was the same car of the carried out those london attacks. This is what the manager told us earlier. The police came on Wednesday Night to start their investigation. I was called at home quite late at night at about midnight, one oclock in the morning to be told the police we re the morning to be told the police were here. They asked for my advice andi were here. They asked for my advice and i said i would cooperate. They asked the Staff Questions and we are open to this. It is normal for us. It was a bit of inconvenience because we try to run a business at the same time. Yesterday we had police in the hotel. They were interviewing all the staff in the middle of server so it was a bit of an inconvenience, but we had to cooperate with them and tried to give them all the information. We have all the back up for this. We have all the back up for this. We have all the contacts, the address, the telephone number, the persons correct names, addresses. We have all this for the police. Most of the staff have been interviewed by the police, giving the correct information. He came home address birmingham as his address . Yes, he gave the correct address and the Registration Card when he checked in. Later on they heard in the news that there are dressed in birmingham was correct. Everything he said to us was was correct. Everything he said to us was correct, his correct name, address, telephone number. Everything he gave us when he checked and was correct. As was mentioned in the newsletter on. The ca rd mentioned in the newsletter on. The card that ejecting to your car park, was that the same car that was used in the london atrocities. Yes, we havent seen the registration in the paper yet, the number is not very clear, but it is 90 the same car. We know it was a great car, are semi 4x4. We are not sure if it is a ford hyundai i1i0, semi 4x4. We are not sure if it is a ford hyundai mo, in the paper it said how young guy, but it is the same car because we do ask for the cars Registration Number when we checked in. We will see what is in the news to make sure it is a match. The card with the same as the one that we saw, my Colleague Saw the carand she that we saw, my Colleague Saw the car and she confirmed it was exactly the same car. We need to confirm the Registration Number. We were shown the room at the hotel where Khalid Masood stayed. Police reno searched extensively on Wednesday Night. They took away things like the toilet roll holder, the trouser press, the capital, all of the sheets. The groom has not been returned to normal but there is evidence that he stayed there. Staff he said they are shaken and cant believe that the man who appeared so polite and friendly could have left here early that morning, early wednesday morning, im gone on to such terrible atrocities. We have heard this morning that the police have been in touch with thousands of witnesses and retrieved thousands of witnesses and retrieved thousands of witnesses and retrieved thousands of items and made more arrests as well. I suppose one of the key questions, daniel, is was he alone a lone wolf or was he part of a team . The key thing for them to know is whether in relation to this attack is still someone out there who is a threat to the uk that could potentially try to launch another attack. That has been the focus of their enquiries since Khalid Masood was shot dead. That is the key thing for them to find out. The first set of arrests for what you might think of arrests for what you might think of as routine arrests, to pick up people known to be contacts of his quick picture to find out for them what if anything they know. Of those original eight arrests, one person has released. We can assume that somebody not central to the enquiries any more. Then to further arrests overnight, one in the West Midlands and one in the north west. The police have described them a significant arrests. That is the first clue that these people might have had some idea what Police Believe might have had some idea over what might happen. That is clearly a n over what might happen. That is clearly an important step forward for the police. That is an important moment in this investigation, one which the police concede is still fast moving and expanding and developing all the time. Daniel, thank you. Here at Westminster The Roads are reopening and it looks like life is returning to normal, which is exactly what the Prime Minister said she wanted to happen asa minister said she wanted to happen as a gesture of defiance thAt Westminster would not be cowed in anyway. Our Political Correspondent Eleanor Garnier is at the houses of parliament, where floral tributes are being laid. Iam right i am right in the shadow of big ben. Just behind me is Westminster Bridge, where the attacker drove over, no one into people who were walking on the pavement. This is where the attacker came. He eventually crashed the car into the side of the railings. It is busy around here today and it is exactly what wouldve been like on the morning of the attack. Lots of people going to work, but tourists, too. People have come here because it isa too. People have come here because it is a tourist attraction, but i think some people have also come here to reflect. The attacker would have come round here, swung around this corner. We are seeing just this side of Carriage Gates. That is where the attacker ran onto the parliamentary estate, where we know he stabbed one of the Police Officers who was on duty. The questions that are being asked about whether they should be increased security around this area of the parliamentary estate, an area where ca is parliamentary estate, an area where cars go in the night. Sometimes the Prime Minister and other ministerial ca is Prime Minister and other ministerial cars go in the night. Questions about whether this should be always somebody armed here or if there is somebody armed here or if there is somebody armed here all the time. The chair of the intelligence and security committee, dominic grieve, he suggested that it would be a pa na cea to he suggested that it would be a panacea to think that arming every single officer on The Streets Of London would be a solution and prevent this type of attack happening in the future. Also, the sense we are getting from politicians is that they dont want to see armed police at every single point and every single officer he is trying to look after the security of mps and peers, but also the staff. Remember there is catering staff and other staff inside the palace of westminster and they dont want to see every single officer who is guarding the palace being arms. So, yes, things are pretty much back to normal. Camera crews are here, obviously, to, at lots of tourists. We know from mark rowley, we are going to more Police Officers Walking Around the police streets of london across the capital and in other parts of the uk. We know that whilst there is going to be, as there would be for any attack like this, there will be a review of what happened but we are not getting a sense that security is going to be hyped up in the aftermath of this attack. All the mps we have talked to her said the dome at the palace of westminster to be turned into a fortress. Thank you very much. Police have been saying that the fourth the talent he was 75 year old Leslie Rhodes from streatham in south london. They have said that 50 people in all were injured in the attack, and number of them are still in hospital, two in particular are critically ill. Iam i am three miles from where the attacks took place. This morning outside Kings Hospital there is still a large police presence. The news that came through last night that Leslie Rhodes, a 75 year old, died here. He lived in streatham, not far from died here. He lived in streatham, not farfrom here. Died here. He lived in streatham, not far from here. He died here. He lived in streatham, not farfrom here. He is the died here. He lived in streatham, not far from here. He is the fourth person to die, along with Pc Keith Palmer, aisha afraid, who was underway to pick up her children from school, and kurt cochrane, an American Tourist. Eight temp two we re American Tourist. Eight temp two were brought here on wednesday afternoon, one of them are still critical. They say yesterday to war allied home, which means this morning there are still five victims being treated here. Thank you very much indeed. Lets ta ke thank you very much indeed. Lets take stock of where we are with this investigation and the whole Security Picture in the wake of these attacks. We can speak now to kim howells, former chairman of the intelligence and security committee. Hejoins me from cardiff. With me is chris phillips, former head of the National Counter Terrorism Security office. Chris, was this man, Khalid Masood, a lone wolf or did he have accompanied accomplices, that is the key question. It is. There will be lots of investigations going into him at the moment. The phone is a great avenue for them. They will know exactly where he has been that he has been using a telephone. We need to get away from this lone wolf thing, there is nearly always somebody else involved, if only on an advisory capacity. Kim howells in cardiff. There is a question about the Security Services. This man was on their radar. He was only a peripheral figure, on their radar. He was only a peripheralfigure, which on their radar. He was only a peripheral figure, which makes on their radar. He was only a peripheralfigure, which makes it very difficult for the Security Forces to keep track of everybody. It is an almost Impossible Task to keep track of everyone. At some stage this guy might have worried the police, but then disappeared and become completely irrelevant all of their enquiries. Suddenly he reappears. We have had this in the past. Maybe 700 people have gone out to fight for so called Islamic State ican to fight for so called Islamic State i can syria and iraq, maybe 400 of them have returned already. The task of trying to monitor all of those people is a huge one. It is enormously consuming in terms of staff and assets, technology. It will not be easy from here on out. This is one occasion were somebody got through but there are networks out there that the police and Intelligence Services will be investigating at a furious pace at the moment. Chris phillips, Khalid Masood, 52 years of age, we know he had been imprisoned several times, and convicted of several terrorist offences. He could have been radicalised in prison or become mentally unstable, anything could have happened. He seems to have shown violence over his history, and violence which then they be has led him to becoming radicalised. It is a difficult thing to monitor from the perspective of the police. It takes about 50 officers to conduct Surveillance Operation for one day on one individual. This guy was interested to the police years ago so interested to the police years ago so the chances of being followed we re so the chances of being followed were low. In terms of security lessons, are the lessons that need to be learned both in terms of security around the palace of westminster or more generally . There will be Lessons Learned from this. As mps have been saying, we dont want to turn the palace of westminster any more than we have done into a fortress. One of the great virtues of the way that we govern in this country is that it is accessible, that we dont live in a police state, that we have accountability, we have ways of questioning those who make these decisions for us. It is going to continue to be a big debate, because as chris has said, chances are this notion of a lone wolf is mostly i think as spurious one. There are networks and contacts are there for nearly all of these people and we need to know who they are and how they operate if we are going to remain safe. That is the biggest human rights we have to think of, how we can remain safe on the streets of our country. Chris phillips, some people are saying perhaps that the attack at Carriage Gates that the attacker had discovered that was perhaps a vulnerable point around the palace of westminster because the gates there are often there are lots of deliveries coming and going. Do you think that was a week link in the security around the palace of westminster . The gate of any building will always be a weak link. This is a working building. People are coming and going. Mps need to come in and out. We need to be practical. We cant turn our buildings into fortresses. At the end of the day the security worked. The sky. Within ten metres of the front gate and he was killed. We gather he was killed by a Close Protection officer by the Defence Secretary rather than one of the armed police. He was killed by a police bullet, and that is what we wa nt to police bullet, and that is what we want to happen. The police and the security of this building worked. We need to bear that in mind. Kim howells, do you think Carriage Gates isa howells, do you think Carriage Gates is a vulnerable point in the Palace Of Westminster Security . is a vulnerable point in the Palace Of Westminster Security . I agree entirely with chris. He has had absolutely right. It is a working building. Vehicles and people have to move in a night. I have no doubt there will look carefully at how each person is assessed. This guy ran in through those gates. As a former rugby player i can tell you it is not easy to bring someone dying back quickly and such a short space of time. The real task is to gather intelligence on these people long before they ever get into a car and start mowing innocent people dying. Very good to talk to you, kim howells, and chris phillips, former head of the National CounterTerrorism Security office. Many thanks to both of you. That is the latest from here in westminster as the Police Investigation into Khalid Masood continues. Just a little bit more detail coming in. Trying to flesh out the background of Khalid Masood. This is coming from carmarthenshire were local man has been speaking about Shockin Local Man has been speaking about shock in the community after police searched an isolated farmhouse there in connection with the investigation into whether thes attack. This man confirmed that a couple, understood to be the mother and stepfather of Khalid Masood, had lived at the isolated property for many years. He believed that they are at the mother and stepfather of the man named by police. He said that he believed the couple had been estranged from Khalid Masood for many years and that he had never actually been to the property in wales, as far as he knew. He said he also thought that Khalid Masood has to have brothers. More information is starting to emerge on the background of Khalid Masood as the police tried to understand and piece together his trajectory from Criminal Activity to the attack that he carried out on wednesday.

Poor behaviour is not taken seriously enough in schools and the official data underestimates the extent of the problem. Thats the view of the governments School Behaviour expert, tom bennett. In a review published today, he says more funding and better training are needed to tackle the issue. Marc ashdown reports. Pupils demonstrating the sort of low level, disruptive behaviour many teachers will be all too familiar with. Using a mobile phone in class, messing about on their chair, or making silly noises. Its the kind of thing the governments behaviour tsar, tom bennett, wants to stamp out. An ex nightclub bouncer, two years ago he was drafted in to assess how schools cope with disruptive pupils. Since then, tom bennett has visited schools across england. His report recommends offering better training to headteachers to help them identify bad behaviour, more funding from government for special units within schools with particularly challenging behaviour to help them tackle it, and he calls an ofsted to reassess how it grades behaviour. Its too often glossed over, he says, if a school is doing well in other areas, like exam results. Ofsted says it isnt planning any changes to inspections, but says his recommendations will be considered as part of future plans. The Department For Education described this report as relevant and insightful, and says it will use the findings to help support schools. Mark ashdown, bbc news. Lets have a look at the weather. Good morning to you. It is fairly fresh in the breeze outside my front door. Elsewhere, i have made police fear behind me, blue screens behind me, but he is building up to say but, isnt he . Guess, but, it is like this in some parts of south western england. This ribbon of cloud at its thickest has been producing some rain and there is that threat to the rest of the morning of that removing into affect the southern channel counties. The cloud will gradually break away. Much of the country will have dry and sunny weather. Underneath the clear skies tonight there will be a widespread frost. That is down to a High Pressure system sitting over russ keeping things settled over the weekend. There will be as stiff breeze on the south coast. On sunday, still be Onshore Breeze, offering a little bit more cloud over eastern areas, but essentially there is a lot of dry weather this weekend. I hope you get the chance to enjoy it. Enjoy your weekend. This is bbc Newsroom Live. The headlines at 11 30 more details have emerged of the man who carried out the westminster Terror Attack. Khalid masood was born Adrian Russell ajao, in dartford, in kent. Police say they have made two more significant arrests overnight. Theyve spoken to thousands of witnesses and have begun trawling through massive amounts of computer data. The attacker stayed the night at a hotel in brighton before travelling to london. The manager says he made no attempt to conceal his identity and address. Everything he said to us is absolutely correct his correct. Is absolutely correct. His correct name, address, telephone number. Everything he gave us when he checked in was correct. It was the same as what was mentioned in the news later on.

If Lewis Hamilton tried to play down mercedess a nswe rs tried to play down mercedess answers ahead of the new formula one season, the first day of the track proved it was mind games. He was fastest in both practice sessions ahead of the Australian Grand Prix on sunday, half a second quicker than anyone in the second session, a huge margin. The new cars knocking up huge margin. The new cars knocking up to five seconds potentially of the lap times. Second quickest was Sebastian Vettel in his ferrari with Va Ltteri Bottas Sebastian Vettel in his ferrari with Valtteri Bottas third in the other mercedes. Lewis hamilton called his opening day 99 cents perfect. My rule on the racing side would be to be proactive, to work with the teams, to work with the fia, to find the right solutions to make our sport as great as possible in the future and by great, i mean close racing, healthy teams, a true meritocracy of drivers and all the things we know we have in a perfect world. Dele alli has been banned for three European Club games after the Europa League tie against gent. He was sent off for league tie against gent. He was sent offfor in league tie against gent. He was sent off for In St Challenge in the first half of the second leg at wembley and the suspension will be served if spurs get in next season which looks likely with the team second in the premier league. Wales manager kris commons says that crucial World Cup Qualifier against Republic Of Ireland tonight is not a must win game but says there is a desperation to reach another major tournament. Ireland are top of group d after four matches unbeaten, with wales only winning one of their qualifiers so far, four points behind in third. Ina campaign, in a campaign, you get halfway and see where you are and you fight at the wrong end of the wrong end, so all this pressure on us is what we have always wanted. I have wished for it, jumped about it. Being halfway in the campaign and still having a say in who finishes top, who comes second. We are right in that. England women have reached fourth in the fever rankings. They got a famous one and two over the usa and they have gone above canada in the list. Scotland remain 21st, Wales Go Up 33rd as Northern Ireland of 55. Rory mcilroy is out of the wgc match play golf, having only played one round. The second of his three opponents in the Round Robin Group stage of the tournament in texas, gary woodland, pulled out, leaving denmarks soren kjeldsen, who beat mcilroy on wednesday, needing only a half a point in his match against argentine Emiliano Grillo to eliminate the northern irishman. Kjeldsen was due to play his final group match against woodland. So since hes guaranteed a win, mcilroy cant qualify. Englands Tyrrell Hatton and paul casey won, to maintain their 100 records. But masters champion Danny Willett is out. British swimming is conducting an investigation after multiple bullying claims were made by paralympians about a coach. Bbc sport has learned the sports governing body began an internal review after several para swimmers made complaints. Some are understood to include rio 2016 medallists. And david haye has been called before boxing authorities to explain his comments in the build up to his heavyweight defeat to tony bellew last month. Haye had graphically described the injuries that he hoped to inflict on his opponent, and claimed bellew was risking his life by entering the ring. Haye will appear before the British Boxing Board Of Control next month. Thats all the sport for now. Thank you very much. Much return to our coverage of the westminster attack and ben brown. It has raised questions once again about the effectiveness of security around the houses of parliament. The attacker, Khalid Masood, 52, was able to get several metres past the Carriage Gates before he was shot by police. This is what Scotland Yards mark rowley had to say earlier this morning about reviewing security. I understand why tragic events such as this generates questions about the security of parliament. Our current arrangements have been developed with parliament over many years and are designed to provide access to the seat of our government, balanced carefully with security that is proportionate but not overly intrusive. Of course, after an incident like this, as would be expected, my team will work with parliamentary authorities to assess whether a different tone or a different balance is necessary. More widely, across the country, the Police Service will sustain an enhanced armed and unarmed presence over the next few days. London and the uk are Open For Business and were out there in greater numbers to make sure the public see a high presence to help reassure them as they go about their daily lives. In london, the number of armed officers remains at nearly double strength, whilst in other parts of the uk, there are up to a third more officers on duty. Acting assistant rowley speaking earlier. On the victoria deryshire programme, my colleague, joanna gosling, spoke to dani singer. She witnessed the aftermath of the attack on Westminster Bridge i saw the car going on to the pavement and knocking several people over. Somebody on the bus then shouted if anyone had first aid training, they should get off the bus and go and help. So i got off straightaway and just went to the first person i saw who looked like they werent being attended to which, as you say, was a man who had quite a significant head injury and potentially other injuries that we couldnt see. So, at that point we didnt really know what was going to happen after that, probably hadnt even happened yet. And so what help did you give . Well, i mean, iwas fortunate in that the other chap who was with me helping the gentleman we were with was a medic. There wasnt a whole lot we could practically do, it was just monitoring pulse and breathing and checking his airways were as clear as possible. I was just talking to him really. He was unconscious, but i was just, you know, you are never aware of what people are aware of themselves. So i was talking to him, telling him what was going on, describing when the ambulances were coming and just hoping that some part of him was registering our presence and that we were there to help him. Do you know how he is now . I dont, no. I have got no idea. And as you said, you did not know that it was actually a Terror Attack happening. You went off when the ambulances arrived. When did you discover what had actually happened . I went offjust to wash my hands basically and then i came back to the people i was with on the bus a few minutes later, we had to be diverted all the way around. So it was about ten minutes later when i finally realised that from what they said, there had been gun shots fired, a Police Officer had been stabbed, and then we put two and two together and realised this was probably part of the same incident and that it probably was a Terrorist Attack of some sort. A quick recap of the new information we have received this morning from the police, who say that the fourth victim of the westminster attack is a 75 year old man who has died from his injuries, Leslie Rhodes, and streatham in south london. 50 people injured, still in hospital about 30, two critically ill, and two more significant arrests overnight in the West Midlands and the north west of england. So knowing people currently in custody, that is the latest from westminster, back to you. Thank you. The former president of egypt, Hosni Mubarak, who was overthrown after the arab spring uprisings of 2011 has been freed from a military hospital. Mubarak served almost six years in detention, on charges of Killing Protesters in the uprising that ended his 30 year rule. But earlier this month, an Appeals Court cleared him of these charges. Sally nabil is in cairo for us. This release is hugely controversial. Absolutely. Different reactions from different people. Supporters of mubarak really happy because they see him as a patriotic hero who should not have stood trial in the first place. They see him as a great ruler. On the other hand, we have those who took the terrorists we re have those who took the terrorists were more than six years ago to topple egypts longest serving president and they see mubarak as a symbol of corruption and repression and the fact he was freed and went home today brings a lot of frustration and frustration for these people. Especially that this is ata these people. Especially that this is at a time when we have Tens Of Thousands of Political Prisoners behind bars, according to locals. So this is painful, a painful contradiction. But as of the revolution. Mubarak is out while Tens Of Thousands of young people are behind bars because they dared to say opinion is that the current regime does not like. So it is a huge drop the trip. If there any sense that any of these activists from the uprising in 2011 who are behind bars, they might be freed . Some of them have been freed, but they are under probation, meaning they are under probation, meaning they have the report to a local Police Station every single day. At the same time, we still have thousands imprisoned, islamists, secular and even journalists, they are being jailed nowadays. Cameramen. Egypt is being run by an iron fist under the military leader. So many people who supported the revolution one day, they believed that all their dreams have been laid to rest because none of the girls announced by the revolution more than six years ago, which is social justice and freedom of expression, none of these goals have been met. So the fact that mubarak is out brings a lot of disappointment for many people here. Thank you very much, from cairo. Breaking news now. An Employment Tribunal has ruled that a Self Employed courier for the firm xl was a worker and therefore entitled to holiday pay. So the cycle korea claimed he was entitled to one week of holiday paid based on his work for excel, the tribunal agreed, finding that the claimant, his claim was well founded and he was a worker and that the firm unlawfully failed to pay him. This is interesting because the ruling adds more legal weight to claims of some firms operating in the so called gig economy, that they are engaged and practices that they should not be. Mr boxer took the claim against excel with the support of the independent Workers Union of great britain. That was injanuary. An Employment Tribunal found the corriere with city brind should be cast as a worker rather than Self Employed and that is the case involving a taxi firm gruber, appealing against a similar ruling against it last year. So that is from our industry correspondent. President donald trump has demanded a make or break vote later on a new healthcare bill. A vote on thursday was delayed because of opposition from some republicans. Thats despite mr trumps repeated attempts to persuade them to back the bill. With more, heres our washington correspondent, laura bicker. Donald trump is done doing deals. After a frantic few days, his message to republicans vote for change, or therell be no changes at all. This has forced the hand of the house speaker. For 7. 5 years, we have been promising the American People that we will repeal and replace this broken law because its collapsing and its failing families, and tomorrow, were proceeding. But the votes are far from assured, as different factions of the party cant agree. For some, the Health Reforms go too far. For others, not far enough. I am still a no at this time. Im desperately trying to get to yes and i think the president knows that. Outside the capitol, they gathered in fear and frustration. All hey hey, ho ho, donald trump has got to go 24 million americans could lose their Health Insurance if the reforms go ahead. Jessica sanchez has spina bifida. Her family are already struggling to afford her medication. We try our hardest to save money because we know the medications are going to finish in 30 days. They only last me 30 days so, every month, we have to start saving more and more money so it can last us longer, and sometimes, its not possible. Protesters circled the white house, hoping the president would hear their cries. They worry about losing maternity and Mental Health care. But inside the gates, he was surrounded by those who support his key campaign pledge. For many, the price of Health Insurance has shot up, and thats one of the reasons they chose change and trump. By the way, its close, not because obamacares good, its close because of politics. They know its no good, Everybody Knows its no good. Its only politics, because we have a great bill and i think we have a very good chance, but its only politics. But the president still has some arm twisting to do. Were going to have a long talk. Im not gonna make it too long because i have to get votes, i dont wanna spend too much time with you and then lose by one vote, then im going to blame the truckers donald trump has issued his ultimatum. After a delay, there will be a vote in the morning, but this is a political roll of the dice with a very real prospect of defeat. Laura bicker, bbc news, washington. In a moment, a summary of the Business News this hour, but first, the headlines on bbc Newsroom Live Police Reveal that the Khalid Masood was formerly known as Adrian Russell ajao, as questions are being asked about how the 52 year old became radicalised. Police make two more significant arrests overnight in their investigation and they are trawling through massive amounts of computer data. They have urged the public to help them.

Automatic compensation thats what ofcom wants for landline and broadband customers facing slow repairs, missed deadlines and engineers visits that fail to happen. The Telecoms Regulator says it could benefit up to 2. 6 million customers more on that in a moment. Statutory Maternity Pay for uk mothers is among the worst in europe, according to analysis by the tuc. The Trade Union Body says only ireland and slovakia have worse decently paid entitlements. It defines decently paid as two thirds of a womans salary, or more than £840 a month. Robotics and Artificial Intelligence could affect almost a third of uk jobs by the 2030s. A report from Accountancy Firm pwc says manual routine jobs are most at risk those with a human touch, like health and education, are safer. However, they dont believe that 30 ofjobs will dissappear rather, automation could create more wealth and additionaljobs elsewhere in the economy. Thank you forjoining me this morning. Thank you forjoining me this morning. Ever waited in to get your broadband fixed, then the engineer has been a no show . Well, the Telecoms Regulator ofcom wants instant and Automatic Compensation for landline and broadband customers who suffer poor service. Its just at the proposal stage, but ofcom want these payments to apply whenever services go wrong and are not fixed quickly enough. Slow repairs, missed deadlines and engineers visits that fail to happen as promised would all be covered. Matthew howett is a telecoms and Technology Analyst at the consultancy ovum. Thank you forjoining us this morning. At this stage, it is just proposals, have we had reaction from the industry . The industry have been working through this would ofcom for some time to reach a voluntary agreement to bring this in, but ofcom said they have not got the commitment they wanted from the industry. They are working together, we will see this. It remains to be seen whether it will be imposed by ofcom like they have announced today or whether it can be agreed between the providers and the regulator. Ofcom have bandied about figures, 2. 5 million customers and it could cost the industry up to £185 million. Is that it risked the industry will increase prices to cover these Compensation Payments . dont think so. In the uk, we have one of the most competitive markets for things like fixed Line Broadband and mobile than anywhere else in europe. In many cases, the rest of the world. Competition between providers keeps prices down and the speeds will always go up. One thing missing here has been the issue of quality and the problems there have been with getting engineers to fix things when they are broken or to get a new Line Installed in the first place and the regulator has put a push to improve this, but they have not gone as far as the date by getting that Automatic Compensation for consumers. This could be difficult to police. Theoretically, the responsibility would be on the provider. We have seen in some areas Train Companies will give compensation if your train is delayed by a certain amount of time, but that still voluntary. Automatic and nonvolu ntary, but that still voluntary. Automatic and nonvoluntary, do you think the industry will go for it . and nonvoluntary, do you think the industry will go for it . I think they will and if we look at the way ofcom has behaved in the last couple of years, it has moved to a very pro consumer organisation, keen to show what they do for the consumer, so they will make sure they implemented in the best possible way. Of course, this is not the only pa rt way. Of course, this is not the only part of the jigsaw, there is also the work the regulator is doing the penalised companies if they are late at fixing things and they do not meet certain quality of service guarantees they have in place. So there are two elements. The Automatic Compensation for consumers and potentially companies will be fined if they do not meet the targets they have agreed with the regulator. Thank you very much for your time this morning. In other Business News. Uk households added an extra £13. 4 billion to their debt last month almost 5 more than at the same time last year.

We know that he stayed here in this Brighton Hotel the night before he carried out those london attacks. Ejecting here at one oclock on the tuesday afternoon. Staff say he appeared very friendly, very polite and there was nothing about him to suggest there was anything suspicious. He checked in as Khalid Masood and used a credit ca rd as Khalid Masood and used a credit card under that name. They say they even wrote on the boat that he was a very friendly and nice guest. One member of staff said he was from birmingham, he said he was from birmingham, he said he was from birmingham and they chatted about that. The manager of the hotel personally welcomed him and his teddy was a nice, polite man. He parked his car in this car park. It was the same card carried out those london attacks. The police came on Wednesday Night to start their investigation. I was called at home quite late at night, about midnight, one oclock in the morning, to inform me the police were here. They asked for my advice and i said you just have to cooperate, until i come in tomorrow morning. Thats what happened. They asked the staff all the questions and we are quite open to this. It is normalfor us. It was a bit of an inconvenience because we try to run our business at the same time. Yesterday we had police in the hotel, inverstigating, seeing the room. They were interviewing all the staff in the middle of our service, so it was a little bit of an inconvenience, but we had to cooperate with them and try to help them, give them all the information. As i said, luckily, we have all the back up for this. We have all the contacts, the address, the telephone number, the persons correct name, the addresses. So we have all this for the police. Most of the staff have been interviewed by the police, giving the correct information to assist them with their enquiries. He gave an address in birmingham as his home address . Yes, he gave the correct address and the Registration Card when he checked in. Later on i heard in the news that there are dressed in birmingham was correct. Everything he said to us was correct, his correct name, address, telephone number. Everything he gave us when he checked in was correct. As was mentioned in the newsletter on. The car that he checked in to your car park, was that the same car that was used in the london atrocities. Yes, we havent seen the registration in the paper yet, the number is not very clear, but it is 90 the same car. We know it was a grey car, a semi 4x4. We are not sure if it is a ford ora hyundai, in the paper it said how young guy, but it is the same car because we do ask for the cars Registration Number when we checked in. We will see what is in the news to make sure it is a match. But the car with the same as the one that we saw, my Colleague Saw the car and she confirmed it was exactly the same car. We need to confirm the Registration Number. We were that room here in the hotel work Khalid Masood stayed. Police searched it extensively on Wednesday Night, taking away things like the toilet roll holder, the trouser press, the capital. They took away all the sheets. That room has now been returned to normal but there is evidence he stayed there. Staff say they are shaken and they cant believe the man he appeared so polite and friendly could have left here early that morning, early wednesday morning, i gone on to commit such terrible atrocities. The police have been interviewing about 3500 witnesses to what happened here on wednesday. They have recovered 2700 items from the various raids they had been carrying out. Our Home Affairs Correspondent Daniel Sandford is at the met police headquarters, new Scotland Yard, close to where the attack took place in westminster. We were hearing fascinating details about the night before when Khalid Masood stayed overnight in brighton and people whose son said he was polite, pleasant with no signs whatsoever he would carry out this atrocity. They gotten him quite well and that hotel because he hadnt stayed there on the tuesday night he had also previously stayed there on the friday night, so he had checked in and out of that hotel twice. It had been noted both times that he was friendly, nice was the word that was friendly, nice was the word that was used. Certainly no indication in those days before that he was about to commita those days before that he was about to commit a horrendous act of violence. We are starting to get quite a good idea about Khalid Masood night. We can take you right back to the time he was born. We have seen birth records saying he was first named as Adrian Russell ajao m is. He was sometimes known as Adrian Russell ajao. By the time he was committing crimes in his early 20s he seemed to be still using the name elms. He was convicted in 2003 of stabbing a man in the nose with a knife. He was convicted under the name adrian elms. At that point after leaving prison he went to saudi arabia to distinguish as a foreign language. He seemed to spend quite a bit of time there. He seemed to have converted and changed his name to Khalid Masood. He returns to britain in about late 2009, lives in luton for a while and ends up in the West Midlands. The centre of this please investigation having identified him is to try to work out if there is anybody out there who had any idea of what he was planning and on that subject we do hear that they have made what they call significant arrests overnight, one in the West Midlands and one in the north west. We understand that is a 35 year old man who was arrested in manchester. The investigation is still moving quite fast and at this point the police dont know where it is going to lead them. Thank you, daniel. The key question for the police is was Khalid Masood acting alone, or was Khalid Masood acting alone, or was he part of a wider conspiracy and did he have accomplices . Let me show you that picture we have just received of him as a teenager, aged about 14, ina received of him as a teenager, aged about 14, in a school Football Team. Khalid masood went on to become a man who was convicted of a number of offences when he was 19 years old. He was convicted of grievous bodily harm, then various other offences through the years. His last conviction in 2003 for possession of a knife, but neverfor any conviction in 2003 for possession of a knife, but never for any terrorist offences. The Prime Minister was saying yesterday that he was known to the Security Services but not for any. Never convicted of any terrorist offences. She said he was a lwa ys terrorist offences.

Theresa may will send the letter of the four month process of leaving the four month process of leaving the eu then. It is Notjust Bragg said thatjohn club brugge is faced with. Within the eu we have splits in the eurozone, high unemployment, terrorism, confusion and indecision about migration. And rising Populist Nationalism in many eu member countries. There is lots of nail biting going on about what will happen in the french elections and whether Marine Le Pen could be the next french president. She does not like the eu and one side of the euro.

Does that remain for the commission a priority to make sure that they know what is to come . It is for me a priority. It is about people. I am strongly committed to preserve the rights of europeans living in britain and europeans. British People Living on the european continent. This isnt about bargaining, it is about respecting human dignity. Eg talk about feelings. I will you feel on wednesday when that letter of notification arrives here in brussels .

High pressure is bringing a lot of dry weather in time for the weekend. Already we have quite a bit of sunshine around. It is cloudier in some areas, this is a picture recently in from somerset. That is because there is all this cloud settling on the southern counties. We also have cloud and patchy rain in the far north of scotland. It will be cold in the wind further south. It leads us into a cold night as the breeze for most of us is light, when the skies cleared there will be a frost. There will be some freezing fog around. Quite cold in the south, as well. The wind will strengthen again tomorrow. Although we will see some sunshine, it will feel quite chilly. As it will with the cloud in the far north of scotland. For most of us, the maximum will be in the teens. Sunday will be very similar, still the nagging breeze in the south. Maybe more cloud across the country, but still drive. Dry. Good afternoon.

It says the issue isnt being dealt with properly and more funding and better training are needed. Lets go back ben brown now, whos At Westminster. For the latest on wednesdays Terror Attack and the investigation. The Police Cordons have been lifted around westminster and the roads are open again and things are getting back to normal. We have taken a closer look at Carriage Gates, which is where the Attacker Killed Police co nsta ble is where the Attacker Killed Police Constable Keith Palmer on wednesday afternoon. Lets take a look. You can see and Police Officers inside Carriage Gates, the gates were close, but Police Officers in there now. On wednesday afternoon, this is where the attacker Khalid Masood ran in after driving across Westminster Bridge, and he stabbed Police Co Nsta ble bridge, and he stabbed Police Constable keith palmer come up on duty here. And he later died of his injuries although he was given a solicitation by amongst those Foreign Office minister tobias ellwood. The attacker was shot dead bya ellwood. The attacker was shot dead by a host Protection Officer of the Defence Secretary who was armed and close by. There are questions about security at Carriage Gates. Some security at Carriage Gates. Some Security Experts said that for too long, this has been a weak link in the security around the palace of westminster. The gates, they are open to long, deliveries are made into the palace of westminster. And as part of a security review, weather Carriage Gates should be looked at as having been too vulnerable. But the gates closed for now and you can see tributes have been left for the fallen Police Officer, keith palmer. With me is hasan hoque. He was in the palace of westminster when the attack of westminster when the attack took place on wednesday, and has started a Fundraising Campaign for the victims. He is from a group called Muslims Unite for london. Thank you very much. You are involved in the lockdown on wednesday when everybody in this vicinity was told to stay where they were the several hours. Yes, i arrived at Portcullis House around 2 15 p. M. , 2 20 p. M. , we had started a meeting. The room we were in was directly opposite the gate and whether 4x4 had crashed and so we had a perfect view of what was going on. And it was surreal. There is always a hive of Police Activity there and at first, you think it is maybe an accident. But we saw bodies on the bridge. It is very difficult process when you are there watching it. Some became clear to you it was some sort of Terrorist Attack . We then got a call from the mp will visiting, the bell had gone for a vote, saying this is happening. Im not going to be coming back, they are locking down the chambers. So we we re are locking down the chambers. So we were in the lockdown until 7 30 p. M. Asl were in the lockdown until 7 30 p. M. As i said, you are from a Group Muslims unite for london. What has been the reaction of the Muslim Community to this atrocity . We were there in the office watching out of there in the office watching out of the window and stalking to ourselves. As a muslim, my thought was, what constructive thing can we do . So we set up this fund to ask fellow muslims and others in london to help meet the needs of the victims and their families. Immediately, before the names and details of the victims were released, we presumed some of them would be tourists, visitors, their families may be abroad, they may not be familiar with the Resources Available in the uk and they will need support. I just available in the uk and they will need support. Ijust got in contact with the chaplain at St Thomas Hospital and i will be going there for friday prayers soon. They went out from the hospital when the incident took place. But hopefully working with the hospital and the Mayors Office to make sure the funds meet the needs of the victims and their families. The funds meet the needs of the victims and theirfamilies. The reaction overwhelmingly has been very positive. Everyone is very positive about how london has reacted. All londoners have reacted. How muslims have reacted, how the police have reacted. How we have not let ramifications come out of it, and we are pleased with ourselves as a city for that happening. We do not know the precise motivations of this man, Khalid Masood. But we gather he was so called Islamic State, they claimed this, they claim him as one of their soldiers. They said this was an act in furtherance of islam. Asa was an act in furtherance of islam. As a muslim, what is your reaction and response to that . Yes, well, as and response to that . Yes, well, as a muslim and somebody who was born in london and has lived in london all my life, it is still shocking. I know a lot of viewers might think islam comes up as a finger around Islamic State or other incidents. But as a muslim, i still find it shocking that this happens and the person doing it may end up saying he was doing it In The Name Of my religion. So as shocking as that may be, we still get shocked. Does that and eu this is claimed is something In The Name Of your religion . Yes, it always does. For some the outside of our faith it always does. For some the outside of ourfaith might it always does. For some the outside of our faith might think this is normal, it is not. One thing that has changed, especially in the uk, we are having within our community more frank discussions. There will be some people who say, can the Muslim Community perhaps in london or elsewhere in the country do more to prevent the radicalisation of people . There is always space to do more. I am always pleased that there isa more. I am always pleased that there is a lot happening already, but there is definitely always space to do more. Thank you very much for your time. You are trying to raise money. Yes, so far, iwould encourage everyone to search for us. Muslims unite for london. Contribute is little or as much as you can. We have so far reached around £20,000. And we will be talking to various partners to make sure it gets distributed. The money that is being collected is being distributed. That is very good to know. Thank you very much indeed. There is another appeal to tell you about, and online appeal by the metropolitan Police Federation for the family of the 48 year old officer Pc Keith Palmer who was stabbed to death in the grounds of parliament. You can see the extraordinary amount that has already been donated, £521,000. Half £1 million for the family of keith palmer. That is the latest from westminster. Back to you in the studio. Thank you very much. From westminster. Khalid masood was known to police, but only considered previously to be a peripheralfigure in security terms. That has now changed and as the head of counterterrorism at Scotla Nd The Head of counterterrorism at Scotland Yard said earlier, the challenge now is to find out whether masood was supported or encouraged by others. With me is dr karin von hippel, from defence and security think tank the Royal United Services institute. Thank you very much forjoining me. Considering the profile of masood, perhaps older than many of the people we have seen carry out this type of attack, but there are similarities. A criminal background, not necessarily a terrorist background, but somebody who has become radicalised along the way. And carried out an attack. How do you think the building of this profile will be done . He is also a convert as well, and british born. Many people expect it is the immigrants coming in across europe. The police are very good at pulling together the information. The issue is, as you said, because he is older than average, now police and others needs to be thinking wider in communities and not just focusing needs to be thinking wider in communities and notjust focusing on the youth, but also the larger community. To see who is vulnerable for this kind of involvement in attacks. You said to me you think that internationally, countries which have suffered from this sort of attack probably could pool resources and intelligence and information to how one another. Right, there is some of that going on, but if you look at the last few yea rs, on, but if you look at the last few years, the attacks inspired and directed by isil outside the call in iraq and syria, there have been 300, 400 casualties in europe and North America alone, that is a significant number of People Killed. There is a Global Coalition but they are much more focused on what is happening in iraq and syria, and i think they need to direct greater efforts to Pooling Resources and sharing information, to get the public involvement in this country more than they have done. Does the public know how to get involved, or do people feel that they have the language to start these kinds of conversations . Great question. That met ways to get involved. If you spot a bad guy, and think in that way. The information is out of date, people were more involved ten years ago. On the prevent side, the public do not understand what to do enough. Britain has this Prevent Programme that works with communities and others, but the Greater Public does not know how to engage in prevent and there is no business talking about religion and islam. So i think about religion and islam. So i think a Greater Public conversation about this would be important. You said nobody wants to live in a police state and the response has to be proportionate. And no one can prevent everything from happening in all places. What we are left with in terms of enhancing the response is that preventative side. Yes, the community is really do need to be engaged in more profound ways. On the other hand, you can also say the good news is this country is very good news is this country is very good at gun control and that could have been a lot worse yesterday had the attacker had a gun like they did in paris and brussels, many more people would have been killed. You cannot prevent every attack and nobody wants to live in a state like that. Do you suspect that Khalid Masood was someone who was acting alone, but had been inspired by International Terrorism . It is too early to tell, often when these attacks happen, the assumption is they are a lone wolf attack and later people find they were connected somehow to isil or different attack plots in different parts of the world. Thank you very much toilet for your thoughts today. Lets move onto other news today. President trump has given an ultimatum to his fellow republicans, as they struggle to Reach Agreement on changing the law on health care. A vote was due to be held in congress yesterday, but was delayed to allow more negotiations on the legislation. It was unclear whether or not mr trump had enough support among republicans for it to be passed. He has now demanded that a vote takes place later today, or he will leave Barack Obamas system intact, and move on. Live to washington, and our correspondent, gary odonoghue. Of course, donald trump came into office saying that he was a deal maker and clearly, this is perhaps his way of trying to get a deal on this by issuing the ultimatum. What are the Sticking Points for some republicans . That depends who you ask. On the right of the republican party, the Sticking Point is they do not think this goes far enough to undo the provisions of so called obamacare. The reforms brought in by the previous president. They have got some concessions this week, more power going back to the states to determine which parts of Health Insurance will be offered or required by Health Insurance companies. Some changes to what is called medicaid, which is the programme that provides health care for the poorer in society. For some of these people on the right, that is not enough. Alternatively, the more concessions you make to those, the more difficulty you have with the more difficulty you have with the more difficulty you have with the more liberal wing of the republican party, the more centrist wing of the republican party, who are concerned, projections suggest 20 Million People could lose coverage and they do not like that kind of headline either. It is a huge deal, notjust between him and another property developer, but him and 200 republicans. And parliamentarians, getting them to go in the same direction is like herding cats so a big difficulty and he has issued an ultimatum, now or never, no plan b. And i think he will be Waiting For Congress and the republicans here to blink. The raw politics, he does not have to face the electorate for another four yea rs, the electorate for another four years, congressmen face the electorate every two years in this country and they have to go on to their districts and say, we had been promising to repeal and replace obamacare, well, we just failed promising to repeal and replace obamacare, well, wejust failed to do that. If this bill is not passed, how much of a blow is this to the reputation of President Trump as a deal maker in this new arena and how much does it set a tone for future negotiations with congress . Well, it will be a blow for him and i am sure he will blame congress because in a sense, it is congress that passes legislation and he can twist arms and cajole and have meetings and he has been doing all that. He has also said he is prepared to move on. His people were here last night walking these halls and talking to the different factions, suggesting the president was ready to move on to other parts of his agenda. And this might be the only chance they get. Clearly, politicians always do that and say, this is the moment. But you get the feeling the president is prepared to walk away from this, even though he said publicly that not doing anything will mean that the Current Health system will colla pse the Current Health system will collapse and fail. And cause a lot of difficulty to ordinary americans. So he seems prepared to go down that road. Thank you very much for that.

The former president of egypt, Hosni Mubarak, who was overthrown after the arab spring uprisings of 2011 has been freed from a military hospital.

A team of british scientists has made a major breakthrough in the treatment and diagnosis of tuberculosis. Using genome sequencing, they have been able to isolate different strains of tb, which means patients who might have waited months to get the right drugs can now be diagnosed in little more than a week. Phil mackie reports. The x ray on the left shows a healthy chest. On the right, the latter stages of tuberculosis. 100 years ago, recuperation meant rest and fresh air. Then, as technology advanced, came more breakthroughs. Newsreel the latest scientific step towards the detection of tuberculosis is x ray photography. By the 1970s, tb rates in the uk were at an all time low. But as Drug Resistance grew, the killer disease came back. Now scientists in oxford, and here in birmingham, have made a major new breakthrough. In a world first, theyve used genome sequencing to give a more precise diagnosis, far more quickly. The uk has some of the highest tb rates in western europe, birmingham is one of the cities worst affected. Theres been a clinic here for more than 80 years, and over that time, theres been a lot of changes to the way tb is treated. But for these patients, this breakthrough means they could recover much more quickly. Instead of spending months in hospital, patients with complex, drug resistant cases of tb have been sent home afterjust a week, with a much better chance of long term survival. Phil mackie, bbc news, birmingham. A young boy has helped save his mothers life, thanks to his quick thinking, and an iphone. Police have released the audio of a 999 call, in which the four year old told an Emergency Services worker he couldnt wake his mother up and feared she was dead.

Lets listen to some of that call. What a fantastic little boy, and thanks to his efforts, his mother is fine. In a moment, the news at one. First, the weather. Good afternoon, it is settling down and over the weekend, dry weather prevails. We had that earlier in the day in pembrokeshire, with very little cloud around. But in somerset, we have got more cloud and a Weather Front close by, quite a bit of cloud as you can see. This is a recent satellite picture, a wind making it feel chilly, and cloud across the far north of scotland and the northern isles. Yes, still the chance of some rain across southern counties, particularly somerset, devon and on. For the majority of england and wales, dry weather and sunshine for Northern Ireland, Northern England and southern scotland. The northern scotland regions have more cloud and quite a chilly breeze and patchy rain, but not a great deal, just making it rather grey and jam. Through the night, that cloud remains in the north, but the south, the clouds disappears. We do have a breeze, just above freezing in towns and cities, it will be chilly with a frost and freezing fog as we had this morning in the midlands and the north and east of england. The weekend brings High Pressure so dry weather prevails as a result. Still, a keen and snacking wind, easterly wind, north easterly in the south, making it feel chilly, and a lot of cloud across the Northern Ireland has and drizzle. That is the exception. In Western Areas sheltered from that, temperatures into double figures, 16, 17. Near the east coast, more like 9 degrees, 12 if were lucky. It will feel chilly because of the wind. If you have not heard yet, the clocks go forward an hour on Saturday Night so when we wake up sunday morning, a different sunrise, rising an hour later and setting an hour later. These figures across the country from the north, inverness, to the south, in dover. We cannot stray and settled with bright weather and sunshine. It feels warm in the sunshine. It feels warm in the sunshine outside the wind, but by night, some frost. Sunday brings a keen wind and the south and on saturday and sunday, it could touch gale force in the south with more cloud on sunday but for the majority, dry and fine. The warmest in the west. The first picture emerges of the man who carried out the westminster attack. This is Khalid Masood as a teenager. Police say he used a number of aliases and theyve appealed to the public for more information about him. There might well be people out there who did have concerns about masood but werent sure or didnt feel comfortable for whatever reasons in passing that information to us. I now urge anyone with such information to call us. Tributes are paid to those who died as a fourth victim is named as Leslie Rhodes from south london, he was 75.
