More details on the London atrocity

The Daily Mail has more details on the murder of a young man at the Woolwich in south-east London this morning (NZ time):A dramatic video tonight emerged of a man with bloodied hands, carrying knives and ranting 'We swear by almighty Allah we will never stop fighting you', after a serving soldier was hacked to death by two men just 200 yards from an Army barracks.The man can be seen and heard talking to the camera. The video came as terrified eyewitnesses saw two men shot by police marksmen after the machete attack in Woolwich, south-east London. The two men are thought to have waited around for 20 minutes until Metropolitan Police officers arrived and then tried to attack them - but were swiftly shot by armed policemen, including a woman. They apparently shouted 'Allahu Akbar', which means 'God is great' in Arabic, and tried to film the attack, the BBC's political editor Nick Robinson said.Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe tonight confirmed two men had been arrested and officers from the counter-terrorist unit were leading the investigation into the killing.He said: 'It is hard to comprehend the shocking and horrific scenes we have seen this afternoon on a busy street as Londoners went about their day as normal. We have launched a murder investigation.'Theresa May tonight called a meeting of the Government's emergency Cobra committee in response to the machete and knife attack on the man who was wearing a Help for Heroes T-shirt. The Home Secretary said she had been briefed on the killing by the head of MI5 and police later confirmed they were treating the incident as a possible terror attack.Meanwhile Prime Minister David Cameron cancelled a meeting with French President Francois Hollande to return to London. He said Britain has faced similar terror attacks before and added: ‘We will never buckle in the face of it.’Before the dramatic video of the bloodied man was obtained by ITV News, eyewitnesses said the 'crazed' men in their 20s launched a ferocious attack and were 'hacking, chopping and cutting him.' In footage released by ITV News, a man with bloodied hands carrying a knife and a machete addresses people holding a camera, where he appears to attempt to justify the incident. Speaking to those recording the scene he says: 'I apologise that women had to witness this today, but in our land our women have to see the same.'You people will never be safe. Remove your government, they don't care about you.' In footage obtained by The Sun, he can also be heard saying: 'You think David Cameron is going to get caught in the street when we start busting our guns you think politicians are going to die? There are obvious political overtones to this despicable act. The alleged assailants waited for the police to arrive, then tried to attack them as well. Had this been a simple act of violence, the assailants would most likely have fled; they certainly wouldn't have waited, and asked witnesses to photograph them and film them as they made hate-filled political statements.Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of the slain soldier, with his colleagues at Woolwich and elsewhere, and with those who will have been traumatised today by witnessing an act of utter brutality. And even as we type this, news reports are coming in of extreme tension and bottle-throwing in the Woolwich area, and of two attacks on mosques in the UK; Sky News reports: English Defence League supporters have thrown missiles at police in Woolwich after a machete attack that left one man dead. A group of between 75 and 100 men gathered at The Queen's Arms pub on Burrage Grove, where they sang nationalistic songs. Sky News correspondent Alistair Bunkall, who is at the scene, said: "As soon as the EDL got into the town centre ... it became not only a lot harder for the police to try and contain anything, but also the aggression (increased) quite considerably. "A few missiles have been thrown, glass bottles and the like. The police are trying to surround them and they've been charging them as well with batons." It came after two men were arrested after separate attacks on mosques following the suspected terrorist incident in Woolwich. A 43-year-old man is in custody on suspicion of attempted arson after reportedly walking into a mosque with a knife in Braintree, Essex. Local MP Brooks Newmark said on this Twitter account: "Local mosque in Braintree attacked by man with knives and incendiary device. Man arrested. No one injured. "Just met with leaders of local mosque in Braintree which was attacked this evening. Thanked local police for their swift response." Essex Police confirmed a 43-year-old from Braintree had been arrested on suspicion of possession of an offensive weapon and attempted arson after the incident in Silks Way at 7.15pm. Meanwhile police in Kent were called to reports of criminal damage at a mosque in Canterbury Street, Gillingham, at 8.40pm. A spokesman said a man was in custody on suspicion of racially-aggravated criminal damage.Calm heads are required on both sides of this argument. Further violence or bloodshed will achieve nothing but further hatred.

More Changes at KCRW: Harry Shearer's "Le Show," NPR's "Weekend All Things Considered" Leave Air, Move to Digital

Tom Schnabel isn't the only KCRW mainstay departing the airwaves. Harry Shearer's "Le Show," which has been heard on KCRW since 1983, is also moving to digital. In its place, KCRW will now run the "TED Radio Hour" on Sundays at 10 a.m. It's part of a big weekend schedule shift at KCRW. Also gone: NPR's "Weekend All Things Considered" (which will still be heard on KCRW's online news channel, and remains over the air on rival KPCC). That means KCRW will go all-music starting at noon on the weekends. Here's the press release: Harry Shearer’s Le Show will no longer be heard on 89.9FM. The station plans to continue to distribute the show for podcast and national syndication, and will continue to support the show on its digital platforms. KCRW will add the program to its 24-hour news stream on Sundays. A mix of political satire and music, Le Show first aired on KCRW in 1983 and is now carried on more than 80 public radio stations across the U.S., the Pacific Islands, and on satellite radio, and has seen significant growth as a podcast in recent years. “Harry Shearer and Le Show have been a part of KCRW since its inception, providing a voice of satire and comic relief while challenging the political establishment. KCRW pledges to support Harry and his incredible national and digital audience,” says KCRW General Manager Jennifer Ferro. NPR’s TED Radio Hour, hosted by Guy Raz, formerly of Weekend All Things Considered, will now air Sundays at 10am. The weekly exploration of “ideas worth spreading” was NPR’s biggest new program launch in history and the podcast premiered at the top of the iTunes download charts for its pilot season in 2012. “We're thrilled to be bringing the TED Radio Hour to Southern California radio listeners. The show brings ideas that inspire new ways of thinking, which has long been a tenet of public radio programming. We believe it's a perfect fit for KCRW's curious audience,” explains Ferro. As announced last Friday, legendary DJ and former Music Director Tom Schnabel starts a new digital venture that aims to grow KCRW’s world music audience. An expert in world music and jazz, Schnabel will continue to share his wealth of knowledge through his popular Rhythm Planet blog, an on-demand music show, a Rhythm Planet membership club and a series of live events including an upcoming music salon on May 20. “Tom is the vibrant heart of KCRW’s music programming. He’s our first music director and a critical part of the KCRW family. As we continue our digital expansion, Tom is the right person to lead the station into this new territory,” says Ferro. “He has vast knowledge of world music and jazz, among other things, and is an amazing curator, scholar and writer. He is not saying goodbye because he's not leaving. He's just changing platforms - from broadcast radio to digital.” Listeners can hear Travis Holcombe’s new show Saturdays and Sundays from 3-6pm. Additionally, Anne Litt moves to the new time of noon to 3pm both days. Chris Douridas moves his two-hour show to 6pm on Saturday, followed by Liza Richardson and Metropolis, hosted by KCRW Music Director Jason Bentley. On Sundays, Gary Calamar stays at 6pm. Henry Rollins moves to Sundays at 8pm and Dan Wilcox moves to 10pm. Eric J Lawrence returns to Sunday nights from midnight to 3am and Jason Kramer moves to Tuesday nights from midnight to 3am. "Travis started as a volunteer at the station, just like I did, and it became immediately obvious that he had something special to offer. His depth of music draws out gems from all decades, plus he’s been an early supporter of a few artists who have become station favorites. I’m excited Travis is bringing his diverse and progressive playlists to the weekend, and am confident the audience will love what he has to offer," says KCRW Music Director Jason Bentley. NPR’s Weekend All Things Considered will no longer air on KCRW 89.9FM. Instead, listeners will be kept up to date with top-of-the-hour NPR news headlines beginning at noon on Saturdays and Sundays. KCRW’s digital news stream will continue to carry WATC. The new weekend schedule reflects KCRW’s efforts to redefine itself as more than just a radio station. KCRW has made significant investment in programming and distribution across multiple platforms. Last year’s launch of respected digital-only shows such as Strangers and the Organist is an example of KCRW’s commitment to expand its offerings beyond the FM dial. The development of the Music Mine and other mobile apps, as well as the successful streams on iHeartRadio, Spotify, TuneIn and others is part of this commitment to put KCRW wherever the audience is.Here are the new weekend lineups: SATURDAY6 am NPR's WEEKEND EDITION10 am THIS AMERICAN LIFE11 am GOOD FOODNoon ANNE LITT (Music)3 pm TRAVIS HOLCOMBE (Music)6 pm CHRIS DOURIDAS (Music)8 pm LIZA RICHARDSON (Music)10 pm METROPOLIS (Music)Midnight MARIO COTTO (Music)3 am THE LAB (Music) SUNDAY6 am NPR's WEEKEND EDITION10 am TED RADIO HOUR11 am THE MOTH RADO HOURNoon ANNE LITT (Music)3 pm TRAVIS HOLCOMBE (Music)6 pm GARY CALAMAR (Music)8 pm HENRY ROLLINS (Music)10 pm DAN WILCOX (Music)Midnight JASON KRAMER (Music)More schedule details here.
