and i can't think of any kind of incident that is on a par in that area. so these kind of incidents you'd expect in much more busier parts of london, as opposed to redbridge, which is a relatively quiet and safe part of the capital. and you mentioned police will have had tasers. you mentioned some of that response. they're running into danger, aren't they? there is a risk to themselves. how do the police prepare themselves to respond to that? well, the police would have had lots of training, but this would be a real incident. so i think in some ways police are on autopilot. theyjust run towards the incident, they put the training into practice and they do what they can to save people. that would have been their priority. i want to go to the newsroom. our reporter is there and has been

monitoring events. i want to turn back to what we heard from chief superintendent stuart bell, he refused to say if the suspect had previously been arrested. what more information did we glean from his announcement and his press conference?— announcement and his press conference? . , ., conference? some details coming to liuht and conference? some details coming to light and we — conference? some details coming to light and we know _ conference? some details coming to light and we know the _ conference? some details coming to light and we know the man - conference? some details coming to light and we know the man was - conference? some details coming to light and we know the man was 36 i light and we know the man was 36 years of age and he was apprehended at the scene and we have heard from eyewitnesses who described their terror this morning looking out of their front windows terror this morning looking out of theirfront windows or terror this morning looking out of their front windows or back windows and seeing the police chasing the suspect through the back streets and the back yards. in one video we can hear a man yelling, lock your doors, as the police try to apprehend the suspect. we are getting updates from the police but also getting lots of video and audio like that which helps to paint a picture. the police

at this stage have given the sad news that a 14—year—old boy has been killed and that two other members of the public were injured in the incident as well as two police officers who rushed towards danger to try to apprehend the man who was eventually tasered at the scene and taken into custody. we also note that the ambulance took those five people to hospital including the boy who later died, but it is not clear whether the four surviving victims have life—threatening injuries. the incident started with a car hitting a home nearby, so police are doing the painstaking process of collecting evidence and going door to door to collect door camera footage, that is being asked for by

police, as well as eyewitness statements. they will go door—to—door to collect those and to work out what happened this morning but we know that it started around seven o'clock this morning and the police were on the scene 22 minutes later and the man was apprehended. he is 36 years of age and we have seen pictures of him allegedly at the scene with a large sword. many of the witnesses described it as a samurai sword and we can have a listen to some of what they have said. he listen to some of what they have said. . , . listen to some of what they have said. ., , ., , , listen to some of what they have said. . , . , , . said. he was a big guy, and he said, i have been — said. he was a big guy, and he said, i have been stabbed. _ said. he was a big guy, and he said, i have been stabbed. he _ said. he was a big guy, and he said, i have been stabbed. he said, - said. he was a big guy, and he said, i have been stabbed. he said, can . i have been stabbed. he said, can you give _ i have been stabbed. he said, can you give me — i have been stabbed. he said, can you give me something to hold off the blood — you give me something to hold off the blood graduate somebody said, -et the blood graduate somebody said, get inside, get inside, there is a luy get inside, get inside, there is a guy with — get inside, get inside, there is a guy with a — get inside, get inside, there is a guy with a machete. i ran into the office _ guy with a machete. i ran into the office as _ guy with a machete. i ran into the office as well and then everybody was watching what was happening. you

residential part of london, but turned into a crime scene this morning with a lot of police cars and ambulance and fire fighters. very shocking scene for the people of this morning. you very shocking scene for the people of this morning.— of this morning. you say it is a shocking _ of this morning. you say it is a shocking moment _ of this morning. you say it is a shocking moment for - of this morning. you say it is a shocking moment for the - of this morning. you say it is a - shocking moment for the residents, and it is typically a quiet residential area, we heard from a former sergeant, as well. the chief superintendent stuart bell had a message for the families? irate superintendent stuart bell had a message for the families? we heard from the police, _ message for the families? we heard from the police, it _ message for the families? we heard from the police, it was _ message for the families? we heard from the police, it was quite - message for the families? we heard from the police, it was quite a - from the police, it was quite a significant update from the met, from stuart bell, talking about the frightening incident and the family members of the teenager who was ia years of age. we also heard from sadiq khan who spoke about the incident breaking his heart, that a child has lost his life, and also

two members of the emergency services risking their lives. our live page is being updated, we have a team ofjournalists, they are buzzing away trying to get the latest lines, bringing them to you and publishing them on the website. you can see the full police statement and also what sadiq khan said, but at this point we do not know many details about the suspect. one of the things stuart bell did not elaborate on is whether the suspect had previously been arrested and that was asked today. only two questions were asked after he read out the statement, and the other thing he mentioned is that he did not believe that this was a targeted attack. at this point we do not have many details but they said they do not believe this was terror —related and they do not believe it was a targeted attack so it is unclear at

this stage what avenues they are looking at but a 36—year—old man was taken into custody not long after the incident unfolded by police who were at the scene. he was tasered and is now being questioned by police and anyone information and footage they may have gathered on their mobile phone or their door cameras are being urged to hand it over to the police.— cameras are being urged to hand it over to the police. courtney, thanks for 'oinin: over to the police. courtney, thanks forjoining us- _ over to the police. courtney, thanks forjoining us. we _ over to the police. courtney, thanks forjoining us. we will _ over to the police. courtney, thanks forjoining us. we will hear - over to the police. courtney, thanks forjoining us. we will hear more . forjoining us. we will hear more from her throughout the day as the story develops. police have said a ia—year—old boy was killed in a sword attack in hainault, north—east of london. five people were injured including two police officers. i believe we have some breaking news coming in to do with donald trump. i'm getting this from our newsroom right now. thejudge in the hush

money trial has fined the former us president for $9,000 and that is the contempt of court. he was ordered to pay $1000 for each of nine violations a gagging order which barred him from making public statements about witnesses and jurors and you will remember donald trump has pleaded not guilty to charges of falsifying business records to conceal a payment of $130,000 to the bone start stormy daniels. —— the pornography star. donaldson been fined for contempt of court and he has been fined $1000 for each of the nine violations of the gagging order. we will bring you reaction to that as soon as we can.

now to some other news in the uk... water—based sports across the uk, are calling on the government to address pollution in rivers, lakes and coastal waters. they want compulsory monitoring of all sewage outlets to protect swimmers, canoeists and others. here's dan roan. pupils at greenbank primary in rochdale, enjoying their weekly session on the water. the school offers sailing courses at a local reservoir and, for the kids, it's one of their favourite lessons of the week. how does it feel, out on the water? well, sometimes when it's windy it goes really fast, so you get a bit scared. but, other than that, it's quite fun. it's very cool. is it a good thing to do? definitely. yeah, because it's still a sport, so you still get exercise. the water quality here at hollingworth lake is good — but the same cannot be said elsewhere. amid mounting concern over the threat of illness due

to pollution, seven national governing bodies of water—based sports, including sailing, swimming, paddleboarding, kayaking, rowing and angling have now formed an alliance to demand clean, open water across the uk on behalf of a combined a50,000 members. they're worried about if their children are going to get sick, if they're going to get sick. our athletes are concerned when they go out training. are they going to get poorly doing the thing that they love? so, yeah, we're hearing it every day now. there's a lot of rivers that are under real threat from sewage discharge, and that puts our members and our community under direct health threat. we're calling for the ability for regulators to monitor, the ability for regulators to hold polluters to account. there needs to be set a precedent, so that it's not ok for our waters to become polluted and remain so because these are precious places for all people to enjoy. a government spokesperson said, "sewage pollution in our waters is unacceptable, which is why we have taken action to ban water bosses�* bonuses when criminal breaches have

occurred, quadrupled company inspections next year, provided more funding to our water regulators." meanwhile, industry group water uk said sewage spill levels remained unacceptable, but water companies in england had proposed £10 billion to reduce them by nearly a0% by 2030. many will hope that this unprecedented coming together by water—based sports helps to ensure that places like this are protected for generations to come. but it's notjust here at the grassroots of sport that there are concerns about water pollution. last month's boat race was overshadowed by concerns over sewage levels in the thames, with high levels of e.coli detected. and at this summer's paris olympics, organisers may have to postpone or even cancel the swimming leg of the triathlon if pollution levels in the river seine don't improve. a host of sports now adding their voices to those calling for change. dan roan, bbc news.
