>> i think a lot of people were surprised by the outcome. this usually works in favor of conservative parties, in the united kingdom, if luk lao act u look at way that margaret thatcher dealt with i eye irish republican army. in this last, you have jeremy corbin. strong critic of british foreign policy, after manchester bombing he gave a speech he directly linked british foreign policy support for wars in iraq and afghanistan, to terrorist

These different cultures and religions well integrated? >> i would say, ana, theyre much more integrated in the united kingdom than other countries. lets take france, about 8% of the population is muslim, but up to 60% of the french prison population is muslim. that gives you a sense of how discriminated against the french muslim population is in france. and weve seen obviously a lot of terrorist attacks in france, similarly in belgium. many carried out about people who have gone through the fre...

>> absolutely. as we have seen with reaction to the fire last week, just how stretched and difficult thing are at the moment for emergency services. i was thinking this morning to think of a comparable period of such a number of concerted terrorist attacks and other incident that have put such a strain on emergency services. i cant think of one. and so clearly the emergency services in london and around the country will be stretched. in france, for example, the "charlie hebdo" and the bataclan a...

Anti-muslim slurs. we have the director of international security at the asia pacific foundation. we heard the london mayor talk about the fact there would be beefed up security presence especially in front of mosques and institutions for muslims. this has to be a precarious time in that city. >> it is. its important to remember this is on the heels of seemingly an onslaught of terrorist attacks. you had the westminster bridge attack, the manchester attack, the london bridge attack, then this te...

History of the mosque. if you wanted to make a statement, this is a mosque where islamist militants are gathered in the past and this might be part of the calculation of the perpetrator if this is terrorism. london is part sort of kind of a mix of working middle class or muslims live in north london. its oneover the largest muslim cities in the world odds the middle east or south asia. the mayor of london is a muslim. and i think this all contributed to a feeling in london of uncertainty when yo...

Line theyve been talking about for years. >> julia, this is the fourth attack in as many months. i think we have a map that can remind us of the other heinous at tangs weve seen, the westminster bridge, also a vehicle attack. of course, we remember the ariana grande concert that was so horrible. is something particular happening in london and the surrounding areas? >> obviously this is an intensity and frequency of terrorist attacks that britain has not seen in ages, and part of this is a cyclic...

Christmas market in berlin. should there be -- should cities be thinking differently about how to protect large groups of people? >> i think, you know, after 9/11 and after a spate of different terrorist attacks on facilities, on infrastructure and buildings, we got smarter. and what we started to do was putting up concrete ballards which prevents vehicles like in the 1995 oklahoma city bombing from getting close enough for the maximum impact to take the building down or kill, you know, have mas...

Was but obviously weve seen terrorist attacks in the u.k. in as many months. so authorities are going to be very understandably cautious and putting labels on this until they can get more information confirming what happened here. but i can tell you some of the frustration on the ground from some of the people ive spoken to, you did hear calls from folks asking are they going to label this terrorism. you can hear people saying that to my sides. again, we dont know what happened. theres going to ...

But theyre going be cautious in the early hours as they try to figure out what happened. we do know one man is in custody. he was arrest. and i did have a chance to speak to an eyewitness off camera earlier. this eyewitness said the man driving the van, he was a white male in his later years, that he saw this male arrested by the police. a lot of anxiety here, in london here in the u.k. this is a country now thats experienced three terrorist attacks in as many months. a devastating fire that kil...
