  Speaker 1: Kevin Gray from the UK. Good morning, mine in there, Andrew.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: The London train from Doncaster was a horror show.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: I'm afraid. So it's a great deal of shock in
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: this country actually over what happens. So this was a
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: train traveling from Doncaster in the north of England now
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: to London on a Saturday night and all of a sudden,
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: after it had stopped at its sort of last big
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: stop at Peterborough, it was then supposed to be running
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: direct through to London on a fast line. Sadly, two
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: men are then believed to have got up with knives
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: and started stabbing people. At the moment, we have been
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: told that two are being held. They are British nationals
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: and being questioned on suspicion of attempted murder. We now
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: know that there are two in hospital with life threatening conditions.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: Earlier today it was said to be up to nine,
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: so that's a more positive figure, and now four have
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: been discharged from hospital. A quick thinking train driver, when
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: he was alerted that there was a crisis on board,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: moved phone ahead to the control center and moved the
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: train from the fast line which he wouldn't have been
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: able to stop on and they were diverted to the
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: slower line and then the train stopped at an unscheduled
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: stopped at Huntingdon, about one hundred and fifty kilometers north
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: of London, and they're at the platform. The police met
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: the train, everyone poured off and two men there were arrested. Now,
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: originally counter terrorism police were investigating this. We are now
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: being told it is likely not to be terror related.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: Yes, and indeed the people who are against immigration have
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: been going on about them being immigrants, but they're British born,
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: aren't they And said the question will be how many
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: generations do you have to live in England and before
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: you become not an immigrant?
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Yep, yep.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: More details are coming out of this pair, but at
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: the at the moment, just that bald statement as it were,
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: just saying they are British nationals and they are being questioned.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: All right, I thank you for your turn, Kevin Gray
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: from the UK.
