Haven't look at the TV for a while... has anyone seen the Skycopter in use in the past while? I know it was used earlier, but I haven't seen it since.


Five Live reported that there was a queue of air ambulances waiting to land - I'd expect air space would have been cleared.

I'd be surprised if anything is open, becuase well, theres trains down there blocking lines, and well.... who's to say there's nothing else waiting down there to go off. It needs checked and cleared.

Arab sources: almost certainly the work of al-Queda.


Evidence?

Will a mysterious passport be found to implicate them?

Whoever did this terrible deed, let's hope the government and the media are a bit more thorough in the evidence finding them than certain other incidents.

Tony Blair has confirmed that they are terrorist attacks. He is leaving the G8 summit in 2 hours to go to London. He will be going back up later on.

He said that they were designed to coincide with the G8 summit.

I wonder whether the ITV Lunchtime News will have opening titles or will they just continue their rolling coverage?
Also will the ITV regions have a slot today?
