benjamin, have you seen any change in the number of people coming to london in how just londoners and people in britain behave in the wake of the two earlier terror attacks? >> you know i can't speak to how many tourists are coming over. i know people have decided not to come to europe in general. people in the states say it's a concern, why risk that. in london, itself, there is a resilient. london is talked about with the clear of the second world war and being bombed by the goer mans regularly. there is an act of resilient of people getting back to the streets to show solidarity and they won't coward to these events. londoners haven't hidden at home or taken themselves off the streets. if anything london is always at it has been. think it has affected tourism and other countries have felt that in a pretty big way. today, particularly oxford street and oxford circus will be incredibly busy. it's a major thoroughfare of london. we know hundreds and hundreds were evacuated when the incident began. you are right to say there are conflicting reports early on often you get the same repor

district in london and what we know is that in this part of london august because there was screams as people were being told to evacuate shops and big call to get off the streets by police have been some people who have been locked into different shops around here and we also know that the police are investigating it they say there's an incident they haven't explicitly named it this is a terrorist incident we still don't know exactly what is going on but we have reports from the metropolitan police that they're treating it as if it was a terrorist incident there's also been reports of people running up from regent street which is this shop behind me again all of these roads are now absolutely empty but just an hour or so ago they would have been full of people thousands hundreds of thousands of people as they try to get those free christmas deals so it would have been a very busy area they have been conflicting reports about exactly what has happened there were some reports that there was a huge incident inside just like a station itself and that's where people were being told to e

and ali for us in london. ali, we'll stay close to you throughout the course of the day as more information comes to us on this story. >>> turning back home, lawyers for president trump are waking up to a new kink in their defense strategy courtesy of michael flynn. news breaking late yesterday in "new york times" that an early trump booster would stop discussing the special counsel's investigation with him. this could indicate that flynn is now cooperating with prosecutors. flynn has long denied the campaign's links to russia's efforts to undermine the u.s. election often deflecting the issue. president trump's attorney said the former general and his lawyers have their own path with the special counsel. flynn's legal representatives have declined to comment. spoke with the then campaign surrogate just over a year ago and tried to get his thoughts on vladimir putin. let's listen. >> when i think about vladimir putin and what a dangerous man he is. i ask you, how would you describe vladimir putin in one word?

on in a city the size of london. those pictures you can see, we have seen that sort of thing happening in the past this year, given what had happened this year on a number of different occasions. people do get very worried when the sort of thing happens. they don't quite know what to do. the official government and police advice is to leave the area, run and hide if necessary and so they are doing that but people will be worried by what is going on until we get a better idea of what the official line is. yes, and that is looking away from oxford circus down oxford street towards bond street, which is the other tube station now shut. as you suggest, it is very difficult because rumours take old very quickly and people are panicked understandably when one person sta rts understandably when one person starts panicking, it spreads. it is worth saying for people who don't know this part of london, so extraordinarily busy at commuters time anyway. any tiny innocent incident can spark problems because of the sheer volume of

ishink london's position genuinely assured. i find it mildly amusing when recently, wasery very keen on introducing the financial transaction tax and imposing it on every country in europe, or to give early in the knowledge that this would damage london, represent itself as welcoming and financial market friendly. that is a fairly shallow commitment to financial services. germany come although of course, frankfurt has quite a lot to offer, i don't believe the germans particularly see them committing itself to a huge building out of financial services. there will be a move apart in london. obviously, the insurers, lloyd's have chosen brussels. we have chosen amsterdam. so forth and so forth. there will be a small movement of services from london to europe. ggs the, if europe over e brexit negotiations to damage the financial services capability, those services will migrate to the united states or perhaps the far east and then to paris or frankfurt. materially be net worse off if they seek to inflict purposeful damage onto the ci
