In the diagnosis and treatment of tb. And, the Healing Power Of Sport the former servicemen who say its given them focus for the future. A marker on day one of the new formula one season. He is fastest in both practice sessions ahead of the australian grand prix. Good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. Police investigating the westminster attacks say they made two further significant arrests overnight in the West Midlands and in north west england. Theyve appealed for information to trace any associates of the attacker Khalid Masood as they continue to build a picture of his movements in the months before he killed four people outside the houses of parliament. Richard lister reports. Posing for a school photo at the age of 1a, Adrian Russell ajao who would change his name to Khalid Masood one day and launch a murderous attack in london. The questions for police are why and who helped . Most of the arrests so far have come as a result of the Police Operation in birmingham where searches are understood to be continuing but this isa understood to be continuing but this is a wide ranging inquiry. Police we re is a wide ranging inquiry. Police were in Stratford In London gathering evidence from a flat linked to masood. Hundreds of officers are now involved in this investigation and theyve made more arrests. In our continuing investigation and ongoing covert activity we have made two further significant arrests overnight, one in the West Midlands, and one in the north west. We now have nine people remaining in custody and one woman has been released on bail. Scotland ya rd says has been released on bail. Scotland yard says the investigation at parliament and the search of 16 addresses around the country has led to 2700 items seized, the identification of 3500 witnesses and the processing of hundreds of video images uploaded to the police. We are appealing today is to the public to say, if, even in hindsight now you realise something about Khalid Masood, something about his soeshths, about his movements and planning now is the time to speak to oui planning now is the time to speak to our officers. This Brighton Hotel was where masood stayed the night before he set off for london. Detectives arrived here within hours of the attack and focussed on room 228 where he also stayed last friday. They took with them the Trouser Press from the room, the kettle, and even the toilet roll holder, all of which could provide dna orfinger print evidence. Its really shocking at the moment. The staff can hardly believe the attacker was the same man they checked in. He was joking and smiling and friendly, he was very, very friendly person when he walked in. It really is, actually. Its a lovely guest, i liked him. Put comments in the system, you know, as a nice guest. The news has come as a shock to others at the hotel too. Nothing whatsoever made me think you got to be wary of this quy me think you got to be wary of this guy, nothing. And the guy was calm, there was no there was nothing in his conduct or demeanour that would have let me get a feeling that Something Weird about this guy. And he isjust on his way to commit mass murder. The inquirys also taken police to west wales where Khalid Masoods parents live. The police there spent the night searching this isolated property. They said later the occupants arent being treated as suspects, and are receiving what they described as appropriate support. Local people were stunned to learn Khalid Masood had family here. I think its not so much a shock as sympathy for the mother whos been estranged from her son as i understand for many years. Obviously shes come out to a tranquil location and, what she thought was, and everything sort of broken loose around her. On Westminster Bridge there are few signs of the carnage which changed so signs of the carnage which changed so many lives on wednesday but there are now double the usual number of armed officers on duty in london and this investigation is getting ever wider. Richard lister, bbc news. Our Home Affairs Correspondent Daniel Sandford is at scotland yard. Yes, its a fast moving investigation, what are the latest investments . Well, so far ten people have been arrested in this investigation. Eight of them were arrested on that first night, people known to be close associate of Khalid Masood and also his partner who was arrested in east london. My understanding is that one of those eight people, a woman, has been released. So thats seven people still in custody from then but overnight two arrests which the police described as significant arrests, one in West Midlands and one in the north west, which i believe to be an address in West Didsbury in manchester. That clearly changes the picture that the police are describing two arrests as significant arrests, because its worth bearing in mind what theyre looking for is anybody who might have not only known Khalid Masood but actually have known what he was planning, either by being aware of it or actually involved in the planning. That phrase significant arouses the suspicion that the police are starting to think there may have been more than one person aware of what was about to happen. Thank you. So what more do we know about Khalid Masood . He was born and raised in britain, he had a string of convictions and recently had been living in birmingham. He spent the night before the attack at a hotel in brighton. Daniel boettcher reports. A School Photograph of the boy who later came to call himself Khalid Masood. One small detail of the person at the centre of what police call a fast moving investigation. What is emerging is the life of a man who used many names, who moved around the country and had a long criminal past. He was born Adrian Russell elms, the surname was his mothers maiden name. He also used the name of his stepfather, ajao. His date of birth 1964, christmas day. He gave his profession as a teacher when he hired a car. He never worked aa when he hired a car. He never worked a a qualified teacher. His Criminal Record dates back to 1983. In 2,000 he was jailed for two years after admitting attacking a man with a knife and in tweef he was convicted of possession of a knife. But he was never convicted of any terrorism offences and was not subject to any current investigations as the Prime Minister set out in parliament yesterday. What i can confirm is that the man was british born, and that the man was british born, and that some years ago he was once investigated by m15 in relation to concerns about violent extremism. He was a peripheralfigure. Concerns about violent extremism. He was a peripheral figure. As well as in kent he lived in east sussex, in 2016 he was living in east london under the name masood. Its not clear when he changed it. His most recent address was in birmingham. As more information comes to light, police hope this will help to establish connections he may have had and his motivation for the attack. And that it may prompt more members of the public to give them information that could prove key to their inquiry. Our security correspondent Frank Gardner is here. Whats your assessment, what might there be in his past that could give an indication as to what he did . Very little in his early past. There are commonalities here in the life of this man Khalid Masood with a number of people who ended up being jihadist killers. So, for example, the 52 year old british born guy whoened up blowing himself up in iraq, he spent time in Guantanamo Bay, blew himself up a few weeks ago near mosu leshgs, now he when he came back from Guantanamo Bay was initially a person of mild suspicion but that was quickly dropped and he went quiet for years, there was nothing to indicate that he was going to do that. The man who carried out the Christmas Market bombing, the Christmas Market Vehicle Attack in berlin before christmas, he was he went through the Prison System in italy and then ended up doing that. Prison is an incredibly radicalising thing. We dont know if thats where he was converted to radical islam. I would be staggered if the police dont come up with some clues as to how this guy got radicalised. Someone talked him into this. He wouldnt have done this on his own. There is a shift between being a common criminal in trouble with the police, possession of assault weapon, to moving to Something Like this. Somebody persuaded him to do this. I think its only a matter of time before they find that out. Where does this go next in terms of the investigation . Well, its encouraging theyve made arrests, particularly two which they say are of significance. Will they get them to talk . Not necessarily. You know, if they havent been charged yet, it depends what they say. But a lot of it will depend on the forensic evidence they can get. Also the digital evidence, these days so much of prosecutions and things depend on the digital elements, the footprints people leave behind where police can say you cant argue with that, the evidence is there. Thank you. A fourth victim who died last night after being knocked down in the westminster attack has been named by police as 75 year old Leslie Rhodes from streatham, in south london. Two people remain in hospital in a critical condition. Two Police Officers hurt in the attack are also in hospital with significant injuries. Sophie hutchinson reports. Spring flowers growing in number close to Westminster Bridge where the horror happened. Tributes for those who were injured and died in the attack for Pc Keith Palmer a Football Scarf from charlton where he was a loyal supporter. This is believed to be the final photograph taken of the police officer. The american tourist with him had said she liked his hat and now wanted his family to have this image. One of the first people to help pc palm are after he was stabbed was mike crofts, seen here. He had been having a meeting in parliament. Today in an emotional interview he refused to accept he had acted as a hero. I wouldnt really accept the tag of hero. I think pc palmer is a hero. The ten, 15 Police Officers who were treating him, such unity in that moment. All really working hard to try and save him. Then later the Helicopter Team arrived, just fantastic. Others who lost their lives were aysha frade, a wife and mother of two young daughters killed on the bridge along with American Kurt Cochran who came to london with his wife to celebrate 25 years of marriage. And the death toll rose again today as police announced a fourth victim had died. Whilst we await formal identification, we believe that he is Leslie Rhodes, a 75 year old from streatham in south london. My thoughts are with his family at this time. Details of the 50 or so people injured in the attack are still sketchy, one much those stable is romanian Andrea Cristea who fell into the thames during the attack. The romanian ambassador said it was a miracle she had survived. Tourists, they were coming to london to celebrate their birthday. He intended to ask her for marriage on the same day and this was unfortunately. This afternoon, Prince Charles arrived at Kings Hospital in south east london, a major trauma centre, to meet some of the injured. A total of 20 people are being treated at a number of different locations of whom six are still believed to be critically ill. Sophie hutchinson, bbc news.

President trump has issued an ultimatum on the Health Care Reforms he wants to introduce. Hes demanded a vote in the us Congress Later today telling republicans that if they dont opt to replace Barack Obamas health law hell leave it in place. A vote planned for yesterday was delayed, following concerns that mr trumps legislation lacks support. Laura bicker reports. Donald trump is done doing deals. After a frantic few days his message to republicans, vote for change or there will be no changes at all. This has forced the hand of the house speaker. For seven and a half years we have been promising the American People that we will repeal and replace this broken law because its collapsing and its failing families. Tomorrow we are 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. Im still a no at this time, im desperately trying to get to yes and i think the president knows that. Outside the capital they gathered in fear and frustration. Chanting. 24 million americans could lose their Health Insurance if the reforms go ahead. Struggling to afford medication. We try our hardest to save money. Because we know the medication is going to finish in 30 days, they only last me 30 days, every month we have to start saving more and more money, it could last us longer. 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. Is he going to get this through . They postponed the vote yesterday. They postponed the vote yesterday. They didnt have the numbers. Theyre going to have another go. Theyre going to have another go. The thinking is they may still be five or six votes short on their own side. The problem is, of course, that the Republican Party here in congress is split. There are those on the right who dont think it goes far enough, the changes, to unpick what president obama put in place. On what you might call the more liberal wing of the Republican Party who are concerned over 20 Million People could Lose Health Coverage if this goes through. So, he cant square that circle very easily, President Trump. He is saying now or never, time to decide. There is no plan b, according to the white house. So he is waiting for congress to blink. We will see if they do. The difficulty for congress, of course, is that President Trump doesnt have to face the voters for another four years, whereas republicans here have to face the voters every two years. In fact, every congressman has to face the voters every two years. Theyve been saying for seven years we are going to repeal and replace obamacare. If this fails, they have to go back to their district and say, you know what, we were saying we were going to do that for seven years, we didnt manage. Thank you. Every congressman has two face the voters every two years and they are saying we are going to replace and repeal the obamacare. Thank you. The president of the european commission, jean claude juncker, says the eu will be firm during brexit negotiations, but it will not seek to punish britain. Mrjuncker insisted though that the British Government would have to honour a financial commitment of about £50 billion before leaving. He was speaking to our europe editor katya adler, whos in brussels. He said the eu would be firm but fair, but is this financial payment before deal you uk leads the eu still in contention . Not from his perspective, he almost spluttered when he said to Me Britain Cannot walk away from the eu, attending its never been a member. He said when it comes to the right of european citizens living in the uk or uk citizens living in the uk or uk citizens living in the uk or uk citizens living across the youth he was personally committed to protecting their rights, they could not be used as a Bargaining Chip and as for that exit bill he said it was not a punishment but again, he said the Healing Power Of Sport<\/a> the former servicemen who say its given them focus for the future.

The president of the european commission, jean claude juncker, says the eu will be firm during brexit negotiations, but it will not seek to punish britain. Mrjuncker insisted though that the British Government<\/a> would have to honour a financial commitment of about \u00a350 billion before leaving. He was speaking to our europe editor katya adler, whos in brussels. He said the eu would be firm but fair, but is this financial payment before deal you uk leads the eu still in contention . Not from his perspective, he almost spluttered when he said to Me Britain Cannot<\/a> walk away from the eu, attending its never been a member. He said when it comes to the right of european citizens living in the uk or uk citizens living in the uk or uk citizens living in the uk or uk citizens living across the youth he was personally committed to protecting their rights, they could not be used as a Bargaining Chip<\/a> and as for that exit bill he said it was not a punishment but again, he said the British Government<\/a> and the British Parliament<\/a> had signed up to financial commitments and they would have to honour them, he said, before leaving. There will be no sanctions, no punishment, nothing of that kind but britain has to know, i suppose, that the government does know it, they have to honour the commitments and the former commitments. To the tune of \u00a350 billion . Is around that. Thats not the main story, we have to calculate scientifically what the british commitments were and then the bill has to be paid. The president insisted to me over and over again during the interview how much he likes britain and how much he regrets it is leaving the eu. He said in negotiations he brushed off any suggestions would be hostility here, he said the talks would be fair, friendly but he added he would never be naive. When he referred to the attacks in london this week he underlined the fact outside the eu britain and the rest of the eu would have to cooperate closely, he meant that, but during those talks, the eus top priority will be protecting the union, the single market, putting off any other eu member countries wanting to follow the british example to walk out the door, cause the president said to me, if they do that, the eu is finished. Thank you very much. Customers should be paid Automatic Compensation<\/a> by their Phone Company<\/a> for problems with landlines and broadband. The telecoms regulator ofcom says providers should pay customers for slow repairs, delayed connections and missed appointments. The plans could affect more than two and a half million customers who would receive up to \u00a3185m in new Compensation Payments<\/a> every year. Our personal finance correspondent Simon Gompertz<\/a> is here. It sounds like a lot of money, simon . It is and ifi it sounds like a lot of money, simon . It is and if i take you through what you do get, first of all, if you have a loss of service on your telephone or internet and it goes on for more than two days you will get \u00a310 per day after the two days. And if you signed on for a new service that supposed to start on a particular day and it wasnt, you will get \u00a36 a day for the delay. And if youve booked an engineer who is coming to help you out and they give you less than a days notice that they cant make it, you will get \u00a330 compensation automatically, its likely to come off your bill, you can opt for it to be sent to you by cheque. All of this in recognition of the fact that its not just inconvenient, it costs them money if they cant work, if theyd stayed on foran they cant work, if theyd stayed on for an engineer or if they rely on the internet for their work and you can get compensation at the moment, most people dont apply, with engineers not turning up its only about 14 to apply for what theyre entitled to their will be questions over what counts. People complain that their Broadband Internet<\/a> is slow or intermittent over a period of time, you wont get Automatic Compensation<\/a>, there will be and there has to be a full loss of service and again, what about disputes over the engineer turning 7 disputes over the engineer turning hey disputes over the engineer turning up . They will start taking photographs when they come to your house and you are not there, even showing themselves at your house with a date stamp to say we turned up, there will be that sort of dispute. This is a consultation, it will be some months before it actually starts. Simon, thank you. British Scientists Say<\/a> they have made a major breakthrough in the diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis. Using Genome Sequencing<\/a> they are able to isolate different strains of tb much more quickly, which means patients have a greater chance of recovery. Our correspondent 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<\/a> came more breakthroughs. Archive the latest scientific step towards the detection of tuberculous is x ray photography. By the 1970s tb rates in the uk were at an all time low but as Drug Resistance<\/a> 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<\/a> to give a more precise diagnosis far more quickly. This is the machine where all the interesting science takes place, 15 samples go in here, for the next 25 hours it works out the dna sequence for each of those samples. Patients ultimately will get better treatment because it means that the doctors will get those results and know the individual strains of tb much quicker. We are now using one single test that gives us all the Organism Saying<\/a> is it tb or is it another micro bacteria, what are the Drug Resistance<\/a> mutations, what treatment can we use and this is related to other strains and should we be looking for a Transmission Network<\/a> to intervene and prevent further spread . Genome sequencing could be used to treat other diseases with massive implications for the nhs. Most importantly it will save lives and if we can show that using the most modern technology can help reduce the time it ta kes to identify whos got tb, get them onto a treatment programme, then we can move closer to what we all want which is to eradicate tb from the shores of the country. The uk has some of the highest tb rate in western europe, birmingham is one of the areas worst affected. This clinic has been here for more than 80 years, the patients have an even better chance of a full recovery. If we can start people in the treatment they need to have quicker, they will have less lung damage and they will be cured quicker, back to work quicker and it will be better for them. Instead of spending months in hospital, patients with complex drug resistant cases of tb have been sent Home Afterjust<\/a> a week with a much better chance of long term survival. Phil mackie, bbc news, birmingham. For Armed Forces Personnel<\/a> who suffer injuries on the field of battle, their lives can change overnight. But sport can have a unique healing power and for many former servicemen and women, it can give them a focus for the future. As part of the bbcs state of sport week, the former paralympian kate grey has been to meet two ex military sportsmen to hear their inspirational stories. The simplest of tasks can seem challenging when life as you know it changes with the smallest of breaths. I must have breathed in at the wrong time, this Spore Thatjust<\/a> lies under the ground is kicked up by the ieds, literally inhaled and when i returned to the uk i got diagnosed with q fever. Although everything on the outside looks sort of normal, i can move my limbs, i dont have any strength. I wasnt able to lift my child when he was born. Q fever is a deteriorating muscle condition. As time passed by, phil reached breaking point. People couldnt do the things they wa nted people couldnt do the things they wanted to do because i was there, i felt like a burden on my family so i contemplated ending my life and my wife caught me and we turned it around from there. With the help of military Charities Bill<\/a> was introduced to shooting, a sport well suited to his condition. Introduced to shooting, a sport well suited to his conditionlj found well suited to his condition. found out i was good at it, i have something to be able to do, rather than setting and resting. It gave me purpose, the wonder finding than setting and resting. It gave me purpose, the Wonderfinding Moment<\/a> was after a shot in rio dejaneiro, seeing my kids afterwards and how proud they were, i will never forget that,. Like phil, many Military Personnel<\/a> have gained life changing injuries, corey lost both his legs in an ied explosion. I felt like i wouldnt be able to have an active pa rt wouldnt be able to have an active part in my kids lives in a more and they came in and they were daddy, you know, you are going to get metal legs and you can teach us to ride bicycles and do this and that. I thought, at that point, it wasnt too bad. Within four weeks he was testing new prospectus, he tried a number of different boards but bobsleigh took his fancy. They have been under a different journeys, these two men, but thanks to this recovery centre, they can rebuild their lives and find new career pathways. For corey, the target is to compete in the 2022 winter games, bobsleigh will make its paralympic debut. This is the thing that motivates me, gets me up in the morning, iam motivates me, gets me up in the morning, i am determined to do it, thatis morning, i am determined to do it, that is the end game for me. The circumstances you face as a person, no matter how bad they are, or what you have been through in the past, will never do find you as a person. I have chosen a sport and an active life as a way to live instead of just existing. Kate grey, bbc news. Its red nose day and the band take that are set to join james corden tonight to sing a carpool karaoke, as comic relief returns to tv screens to raise money for charity. There will be a short sequel to the film love actually, read Writing A Cast Including<\/a> hugh grant and many others. It will explore what the characters have been up to since 2003, some of them looking a little older than they did for teen years ago. Dont we all. I mean, for me not a great transition to the lovely helen on whether. I am going to stop. Lets hope the sun shines on the fundraisers, plenty of sunshine around today, even in the south it is quite cloudy. But lets enjoy this shot, ample sunshine, some areas in the south west at the moment, it","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"archive.org","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","width":"800","height":"600","url":"\/\/ia601408.us.archive.org\/32\/items\/BBCNEWS_20170324_130000_BBC_News_at_One\/BBCNEWS_20170324_130000_BBC_News_at_One.thumbs\/BBCNEWS_20170324_130000_BBC_News_at_One_000001.jpg"}},"autauthor":{"@type":"Organization"},"author":{"sameAs":"archive.org","name":"archive.org"}}],"coverageEndTime":"20240627T12:35:10+00:00"}
