I have been shaking like jelly. It must be tremendously shocking. It is a quiet street, saturday afternoon. The last thing that you would expect. You do not expect this sort of stuff, where you live.

We are glad that you and your partner and your family rc. Thank you for talking to me. We can continue with these pictures. And i can also bring in my colleague. He has been looking at all the information. It has been and over the last hour or so. A sense of the picture so far . We know that this is a joint counterterrorism operation between the metropolitan police and surrey police, involving about 80 officers, 400 people evacuated. 100 metre exclusion zone around the residential property, this is of Significant Interest to the Counterterrorism Police who are investigating having arrested somebody on the port of dover earlier today. Add all of this comes in the wake of the device that exploded. Also, direct tree lane, we know the direct train goes to wimbledon. It is a half an hour journey. It would have been easy for somebody to travel on one train, on the district line. That could also be significant as this unfortunate. Thank you. Youre going to keep the information coming. We will bring that to you. I just wanted to take a breath from the breaking developments, it has been a fast moving operation. It started with that raised this morning, the arrest followed the intense examination of cctv pictures, any evidence that the police were able to gather from the tube line, local people. 70 videos and photos from the public. Back information to the operation to dover. We can re what has happened. The port of dover this morning, where an 18 year old man was arrested by kent police on suspicion of terrorism. An arrest detectives described as significant, and which is directly linked to the investigation into yesterdays explosion on a west london tube train. The arrest is the first obvious breakthrough. Nobody died when the improvised explosive device produced a wall of flame in the carriage. That bags on fire. The home made bomb in a bucket, which detectives believe is linked to islamist terrorism, appears to have failed to detonate fully, but 30 people ended up in casualty. Three of them are still being treated at chelsea and westminster hospital, and last night the uk moved to its highest terrorism threat level critical and soldiers were deployed to do some of the work of armed police officers. We have authorised 0peration temperer, which is the initial deployment of a number of troops. They will be deployed to key sites in the uk to free up armed police. And so you will see more armed police on the streets, up to between 500 and 1,000 depending on how the police wish to deploy them. At euston this morning the change in threat level was immediately obvious, with more armed officers patrolling the station. There are seven premier League Football matches today and there will be higher security at all of them and at all big public events. We have taken a number of measures, more armed police on the street, and the public should feel reassured by that. I have been out and about today. The public seem to be positive about the number of officers. The bbc understands detectives have good cctv images of the person suspected of planting yesterdays bomb. Officers say they are pleased with the investigations progress. Londons mayor Siddique Khan said that the city will never be intimidated by terrorism, and we will always defeat those who seek to destroy our way of life. Daniel sandford, bbc news. With everything that has been going on, a great deal to be discussed at the cobra committee, meeting at lunchtime. It was cheered by the home secretary amber rudd, and she merged to make this statement. I have just chaired a meeting of officials at cobra. I was given an update and ive spoken to the Prime Minister who i was able to give an update to. Police have made Good Progress, today they arrested an 18 year old man in dover, hes been kept in custody and later today will be moved to london. The threat level remains at critical and there will be further investigations as part of the operation today. We urge the public to remain vigilant although not alarmed and we hope to bring more news in due course. Has significant could this arrest be, could this be the person who planted the device . This is significant, the police have made Good Progress but the operation is ongoing and we will have to wait to hear from the police about more information. There have been reports that people behind this may have been known to the authorities. What can you tell us . It is much too early to say that. At the moment we have one arrest, one ongoing operation, when we have more information we will share it. We have seen pictures of the device, there has been speculation of what was in it. It seems from what experts say as of this was designed to cause huge amounts of damage and destruction. From what you are hearing was it a device that was designed to maim and kill . There is no doubt that this was a serious improvised explosive device, it was lucky that it did little damage although of course we are sympathetic to the people who were affected by it, i believe 26 people were affected by the device. We have to make sure we take all the steps we can to ensure that the sort of materials that this man was able to collect become more difficult to combine together. We must always learn from these incidents. You said the threat level remains critical. When do you expect that to be reviewed again . The independent jtac will always keep this under review, i have spoken to them, they are maintaining the level at critical. Ive spoken to them today. They will let us know when it is time to change it. We also heard from the metropolitan police commissioner, she has been on patrol with officers, stressing the need for londoners to be vigilant but also the need for life to go on, stressing the way that officers are providing security and safety. We have a little bit more from that statement. Yesterdays event was absolutely appalling. Horrendous. My thoughts and everybodys are with those people who are injured. We had an excellent response. I went to the scene last night. Im really proud of everybody who coordinated that response. It must have been awful for everybody on that train. Especially those who are badly injured. Its a fast moving investigation. Weve got the full weight of the counterterrorist police network. We have our colleagues in the intelligence agencies and government helping in every way they possibly can. Were making very considerable progress, you will have seen the announcement of an arrest earlier on in relation to this. We will continue to work as hard as we can to make sure that we reduce the threat in this country and that we know exactly who it was who did this, whether theres anybody else involved and try to reduce the risk as fast as we possibly can. The threat level remains at critical. Weve seen high visibility today from your officers, lots of sniffer dogs around. This will go on for some time . The threat level is set by the joint terrorism analysis centre. Theyre independent and they will constantly review what is going on in terms of intelligence and investigation. At the moment, it is at critical. That started last night. That means that weve taken a series of measures in london, where ive been today and yesterday, we have more police on the streets. We have more unarmed police and we have more armed police. The public should feel utterly reassured by that. Ive been out and about today. The public seem positive about the number of officers we have here. Theres a series of measures to take for the time we are at critical, which means that a threat, sorry, an attack may be imminent. The metropolitan police commissioner, and she obviously keeping a close eye on developments under way. We can go back to those helicopter shots on sunbury on thames. A large number of police, around 60 officers, taking part in an operation that began at lunchtime. It centres on a hose in this estate, close to the river thames. Reasonably accessible to the district underground line. Wimbledon, and if you wish to change trains, to Parsons Green, where the device partially exploded. That operation under way. We also expect the 18 year old man who was detained by kent police in dover, being passed to counterterrorism officers. Expected to be taken to London Police station to be spoken to and i suspect we may get another update from the metropolitan police about both of those activities, both of those investigations, later this afternoon. From scotland yard, back to you. Thank you very much. And the mayor of london has also issued a statement, we can take you through some of that. This morning, police have made a significant arrest as pa rt have made a significant arrest as part of the investigation into the attack at Parsons Green, yesterday morning. And eating your man was arrested in dover, under section 41 of the terror act. The Police Investigation is ongoing and significant investigation today. I am surei significant investigation today. I am sure i speakfor london significant investigation today. I am sure i speak for london when significant investigation today. I am sure i speakfor london when i say we are incredibly grateful to the police and Intelligence Services for doing Everything Possible keeping 1 londoners safe.

An increased Police Presence across london today and this weekend, including additional armed officers, there to keep us safe. London will never be intimidated by terrorism, we will always defeat those who seek to harm us and destroy our way of life. That was from the mere of london.

Sebastian vettel secured pole, starting at the front in singapore tomorrow. Behind Lewis Hamilton by three points, but well placed to return to the top of the standings. And the stockholm triathlon, was earlier. I will be back with all those stories, and more, at five past five. Europes biggest airline, ryanair, has said its cancelling up to 50 flights a day for the next six weeks to try to improve punctuality. The move is expected to affect nearly 300,000 passengers, who will be offered alternative flights or refunds. The airline says it needs to have more planes available on standby. Some passengers have already been affected. Joining me to discuss this is john strickland, whos an aviation expert. It just seems as itjust seems as though it is a mess . Particularly Customer Services . Looking at what ryanair have said today, both on twitter and when i spoke to the directors, they said we messed up. To put some context said we messed up. To put some co ntext o n said we messed up. To put some context on that, it is a very large airline, about 120 million passengers every year. Normally very well planned. This year, it has been placed under a different regulatory regime, that they have got to get crew leave into calendar years, rather than financial. That seems to have caught them out. Getting to the end of the summer, and pilots have to ta ke end of the summer, and pilots have to take leave. They are very closely regulated, and they have found that they do not have enough pilots. That has been leading to this large number of cancellations. But surely they would have had noticed that this was going to come into place . Ryanair have set themselves, that they have messed up. This would certainly be a headache. Planning is one of the most challenging part of the logistics. That would have been something that they would have known about, been working through. At the moment it is not clear. The summer flying programme is certainly there than the winter. Pilots working as ha rd than the winter. Pilots working as hard as they can do. If they have been hoping that they were able to ove rco m e been hoping that they were able to overcome this, they have had additional problems. Particular ad weather incidents, strikes, and that means you have got pilots on duty, when you are delayed by thunderstorms, you are using pilot hours. In your conversation with the cmo, what has he said with regards to compensation. As far as passengers are concerned , to compensation. As far as passengers are concerned, they are customers, are we going to be looked after . Ryanair has got a legal obligation, European Union has got regulations, and if you are cancelled or delayed beyond a certain amount of time, for reasons in their control, they have got to pay compensation. Ryanair are obligated to do that. But how they handle any additional requests remains to be seen. Ryanair offers a Simple Servi
