Mark Lucraft QC said he would not be criticising MI5 and the police in his conclusions, but did note the lack of barriers on the bridge, a 'particularly vulnerable' site. However, the victims' families today said authorities were guilty of 'staggering' failings in the lead up to the tragedy and insisted it was 'preventable'. Pictured is nurse Helen Kennett (top right) who was caught up in the attack and helped victims; and Philippe Pigeard, father of victim Alexandre Pigeard, 26 (bottom right). The Met's Assistant Commissioner Neil Basu (left) paid tribute to the victims before praising the 'bravery' of his officers. He added that 'lessons had been learnt' from the tragedy. On the bottom row are the terrorists, from left to right: Khuram Shazad Butt, Rachid Redouane and Youssef Zaghba.

Nina Spencer and friend Toi were walking through Cambridge Circus towards the Palace Theatre in central London last week while making a video of themselves from a selfie stick to show friends. But after they had crossed the road, Toi looked inside her Louis Vuitton handbag and noticed her designer purse containing £400 in cash and her credit cards was missing. Devastated Toi and Ms Spencer, both from Thailand, watched back their video and were shocked to see a young woman put her hand into the bag and take the purse.

Revellers at Glastonbury have hit out at organisers for failing to provide enough water stations as dozens are treated for heat-related illnesses by paramedics during one of the event's hottest ever days. Festivalgoers demanded that more drinking stations were set up amid 'ridiculous' queues (shown top left) as temperatures reached a balmy 84F in Somerset. Paramedic teams from South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust said it has treated 70 patients over the past two days, mostly for heat stroke. Hundreds of thousands have donned both their best summer outfits and lashings of free suncream handed over by organisers as they prepare to be entertained by the likes of Stormzy and George Ezra at Worthy Farm. Regular attendees of the festival are used to being welcomed by mud slides and damp conditions, however this year many have been able to relax and slip off their wellies while topping up their tans.

Britons are flocking to the beach today as the Saharan Bubble sends temperatures soaring with sunseekers set to bathe (two women sunbathing in Dorset today) in sweltering 81F by this afternoon. An enormous reservoir of hot air from the Sahara has engulfed much of Europe this week with temperatures set to reach up to 88F at the weekend. The Met Office (bottom centre) has stated that London and the south east of England will be the hottest areas, with the highest temperature of 2019 so far being felt in Norfolk on June 2, reaching a high of 84F.

Paul Anderson (pictured on the right) met Carly McCabe (pictured with her injuries centre and left) on Tinder and went on to attack her during their six-month relationship, while abusing steroids and cocaine ahead of a bodybuilding show in Newcastle. Miss McCabe, 38, had no idea Anderson, 41, had a host of previous convictions for mistreating four former partners, including assaults, breaches of the peace and stalking.

A furious Theresa May confronted Vladimir Putin and told him to stop Russia's 'irresponsible and destabilising' meddling in world affairs during a frosty meeting at the G20 summit in Japan. Mrs May used the showdown to attempt to order the Russian President to modify his behaviour but her attempts were partially overshadowed by a scathing attack on the West launched by Mr Putin before they met. The stage was set for a particularly sour face-to-face meeting after the Russian President criticised Western views on gay rights, immigration and multiculturalism. But it got off to an even worse than expected start as an indignant and stony-faced Mrs May, apparently angry at Mr Putin's assault on European 'liberalism', barely looked at her opposite number as they shook hands.

Sophie Turner has stepped out wearing a stunning white bridal wedding gown to enjoy a pre-wedding party with husband Joe Jonas, as well as their family and friends.  The actress, 23, looked incredible wearing a simple plain gown which flattered her figure perfectly and wore her blonde locks up as she stood in the grounds of the £5,357 a night Chateau de Tourreau .  Holding hands with Joe Jonas who she legally married in Vegas after the Billboard Awards on May 2, Sophie walked tall wearing high strappy sandals, while Joe wore a navy pinstripe suit.

Laura Alvarez the hard Left politician's third wife, was coming out of the Islington terraced home behind him this morning when, without him seeing, she turned to close an inner door at the property. With a car waiting to whisk him away from the glare of the lenses, Mr Corbyn (pictured) promptly shut the front door, leaving her stranded in the domestic vestibule. He then opened the garden gate, said a gruff good morning to waiting journalists and got in the car.

The comments come as parents call for metal detectors to be used daily at Starbank School, Birmingham after a member of staff was threatened with a knife. The school, which is described by Ofsted as 'impressive' and 'inspirational', has installed panic buttons over fear of attacks from pupils who 'act like gangsters' in the classroom. One parent, Mohammad Butt, 44, (bottom right inset) has three boys and a daughter at the school. He said that his 15-year-old son was attacked by 20 boys outside the building. Another father revealed that he was even threatened by a pupil and he said that his son has even been hit inside classes. Raf Ali (bottom inset left), 39, said: 'There's no respect here. Kids can do anything they want.' Main and bottom right, pupils are shown fighting in the school. Pictured top right, staff and union members hold a protest outside the school.

Shukri Yahya Abdi (left), 12, died in the River Irwell near Bury last night while two men aged 25 and 26 could not be saved after being pulled from the sea near Torbay in Devon yesterday. Her mother Zamzam Ture (right) tearfully paid tribute to her 'amazing daughter' today and said she had no idea why she was in the water. Family members also gathered at the scene of her death to try to establish how the tragedy happened (inset). It comes as two men aged 25 and 26 have died after they were pulled out of the sea near Torquay in Devon yesterday. Police have urged sunseekers to stay safe and not swim in rivers, lakes and reservoirs.

Katharine McPhee, 35, has reportedly tied the knot with music producer David Foster, 69, eleven months after the couple announced their engagement. A source told E! News that the couple exchanged their vows at the church of St. Yeghiche in Kensington, London in front of around 100 guests, with the actress wearing a dress by famed designer Zac Posen. The news comes less than an hour after Katharine took to Instagram to confirm she would be tying the knot with David that day, as she paid tribute to her husband-to-be with a sweet social media post.  

Boris Johnson (top right) was joined today by his former MEP-dad Stanley (bottom left) while Jeremy Hunt's wife Lucia (top left) was front and centre as he faces party members in Exeter (bottom right). But there was no sign of Mr Johnson's partner Carrie Symonds, 31, who works in London. The latest round of the Tory leadership hustings saw the men both show their commitment to facing off with Russia. And Mr Johnson made a direct pitch to affluent Middle England by confirming that he plans to target stamp duty if he takes power. Mr Johnson is reportedly considering abolishing stamp duty on homes worth less than £500,000 if he wins, as well as reversing George Osborne's stamp duty hike on more expensive homes. He told the Hustings today in Exeter, Devon: 'Stamp duty and land tax are causing huge problems in London.'

South Sydney Rabbitohs star George Burgess has been slammed for allegedly eye gouging his opponent in a 'crude' on-field attack. The sickening incident occurred about seven minutes into the match at Bankwest Stadium, in Sydney's west, when Burgess helped his teammate tackle West Tigers veteran Robbie Farah. In footage from Thursday evening's game, the 27-year-old appeared to pin Farah to the ground by covering his eyes with his fingers and pushing in.

Alex Headen was performing with the band at Rockstock Festival in Stockport, Greater Manchester, last month when he felt a sharp pain in his shoulder. As the band played Helmet in the Bush, the left side of Mr Headen's body went numb and he lost sight in his left eye. But the determined drummer finished the track using just his right hand before collapsing and being rushed to hospital. Mr Headen, from Wirral, Merseyside, said: 'I didn't want to stop the song because it was so early in the set. I didn't want to let the band or crowd down. Never in a million years did I think I was having a stroke. I just thought I had low blood sugar or was dehydrated.

The holiday of a lifetime awaits a brand-new influx of Islanders on ITV2's Love Island on Thursday, as the show gets ready to enjoy some further twists and turns from the heady heights of Casa Amor. Six beautiful new ladies and a further six hunky men are set to make their debut and will no doubt test the strength of the couples who have vowed not to have their heads turned.

Footage shows the unidentified child's legs poking out of the prize slot at the base of the machine in an arcade on Ethnikis Antistasis street, Rhodes, as she wriggles into it. Another girl is heard laughing in amazement in the background as she watches the youngster stand up in the glass booth and grab one of the cuddly toys.

A resident of the street, named on Facebook as being in Ward End, Birmingham , screams as she films the terrifying clash between gangs from her window. The clip starts with a series of bangs that sound like gunfire before a man wearing a black cap chases after three men, who clamber into a silver car as he shoots at them multiple times. The silver car then makes a quick getaway followed closely behind by another silver vehicle, believed to be a Mercedes, which the gunman also fires at. The Mercedes smashes hard into the kerb at high speed as the driver tries to get away, and appears to damage its tyres and suspension. Some have claimed the street fight is linked to a drugs turf war in the city and West Midlands Police is today appealing for witnesses.

Mikey, a London cyclist, steps in front of the Mercedes as the driver tries to turn right by overtaking traffic on Tuesday, June 11, near Regent's Park. The vigilante has now stopped two cars from performing the dangerous manoeuvre on the outer circle by Park Square East. He stepped in front of the Mercedes as the driver tried to turn right by overtaking traffic and driving on the wrong side of the road. The vigilante cyclist was then knocked off his feet, denting the driver's bonnet, as the car was driven in to him. Another cyclist, who stops to help Mikey, says: 'Why are you driving on the wrong side of the road.' The driver says: 'What are you talking about. Get out my way man.' He then drives further forward - again knocking the cyclist off his feet. The driver was given a ticket for his driving and for public order.

Not holding back, the video filmed in Toyko, Japan, shows the keeper throwing himself into the role as a full method actor, behaving just like an erratic polar bear would (pictured). The fake bear lunges at the visitors, mauling them and knocking them over as they laugh at the absurdity.

David and Sandra Traynor (bottom left) moved into their semi-detached house in Stourport, Worcestershire in March 2016, but thought their rear garden was bland and saw an opportunity to use their green fingers. Just two-and-a-half years and £12,000 later, the couple have turned their generic garden (inset) into their own 'personal fantasy' and haven for exotic palm trees and fish. The garden's centre piece is a dramatic pond (main image) containing 40 exotic Koi carp alongside its 80 palm trees and other tropical-style plants. The couple revealed how neighbours initially believed them to be 'a bit bonkers' when they first revealed their plans for the tropical garden, but that they now call the finished product 'marvellous'. Speaking about how they wanted the garden to be an 'immersive experience', the couple said visitors enjoyed walking down narrow pathways while brushing past giant plants.

Megan Fisher, originally from Pennsylvania, grew up with low self-esteem, as she said she was never confident in her body. She said she never had any plus-sized role models to look up to when she was growing up, which caused her to strive to lose weight. In 2014, Megan left bey boyfriend and her job to move to New York City and discovered Tess Holliday, who she credits with helping her to accept and love herself.
Megan, who weighs approximately 302 pounds, has since learned to embrace her curves, as she proudly flaunts her body in bikinis on a regular basis.

Six seconds of controlled explosions wiped out the remains of a collapsed Morandi bridge in the northern Italian city of Genoa today (main), the ageing viaduct that saw one of the worst tragedies in modern Italian history when it gave way last year, killing 43 people. Pictured: The bridge remains yesterday, before demolition. Red explosives can be seen strapped to the lower structure (inset).

For generations the semi-nomadic Himba tribe have made the Otjize paste, a red substance (centre), to cover their braided hair and skin with. Its rich red colouring is meant to symbolise the earth and blood and is an ideal of beauty among the 50,000-strong tribe in western Kaokoland, northern Namibia. Pre-pubescent girls maintain their hair in two simple braids (left) called ozondato, the form being determined by her oruzo or the paternal clan she belongs to. And married women also add a headdress to their look, which is made from animal skins (right).

Shadow (left before and right after), an 18-month-old Shar Pei, limped over the rock face for a gruelling six weeks following his slip from Falcon Hill Beacon (inset) in Eype, Dorset, last month. Amber Whiting, the heartbroken owner who launched a string of desperate appeals, had given up hope of seeing her beloved pooch again and feared him to have perished on the rocks. But six weeks after his fall, Shadow - who had shed half his body weight and shattered his right front leg - was discovered by holidaymakers last Sunday.

The Queen, 93, put on a colourful display as she visited Greenfaulds high school in Cumbernauld on Friday. Her Majesty donned a lemon outfit and matching hat, and accessorised with pearls. During her visit, the royal will be invited to view an exhibition and the headteacher, together with local historians, will explain the school's history. She will be treated to a Gaelic song by the students and will then present awards to pupils and staff before receiving a posy and unveiling a plaque to mark the visit.

Shubham Mohite, 24, suffered a hairline fracture to his left femur and middle finger after slamming into another motorcyclist who was riding on the wrong side of the road. The other man sustained chest injuries in the horrific smash in Pune, west India. Footage caught on Mr Mohite's helmet camera shows the motorbike fan overtaking a white car before approaching a bend. A motorbike then speeds round the corner and ploughs straight into him. 'After the collision I found myself lying in the middle of the road surrounded by people', he said. Mr Mohite, who received treatment in hospital, said he is now scared to go out on his motorbike.

What starts out as a £65k family 4X4 becomes a bullet-deflecting tank with a bank-account busting 592% price hike. Buyers will have to pay a whopping £450k if they need 360-degree explosive protection, which the XC90 Armoured has been certificated as having. Volvo also adds 10mm thick armoured plating to the body, increased the window glass depth to 50mm (inset left) and retrofitted an escape hatch in the back seats (inset right).

NASA's Apollo-era Mission Control has been restored to the way it looked 50 years ago when two men landed on the moon. Friday's grand opening - just three weeks shy of the 50th anniversary of humanity's first lunar footsteps - culminates years of work and millions in donations. It opens to the public Monday.The goal was 'to capture the look and feel of July of '69,' said NASA's restoration project manager Jim Thornton.

Joshua Bevan's dog Harlow ran in to bushes during a walk in Chasewater Country Park, Staffordshire, before reappearing with a tree branch. Rather than dropping the 10ft stick the six-year-old pooch carried it through the park. At one point the stick even hits another dog as Harlow's efforts to give others a wider berth fail. Joshua said: 'The stick must have been about 10ft long.' Grabbing his camera to document his dog's great achievement, Joshua captures Harlow's pride within a 38-second video.
