I just went onto the main BBC site (link at top of page) then on the rhs of the screen I clicked to watch the live video. Came on automatically, no mention of payment.

FFS Manc I'm in shock that an attack has finally happened. We've known it was only a matter of time before it did. Yes there is a war going on in the middle east and no, it isn't a one sided affair.

I just hope that the bastards responsible are brought to justice.

I had to put a UK postcode into my real player so it thinks I'm there to get the live stuff from the beeb.

Click on the tools tab in your real player, then click on preferences, in the column on the left hand side click on Connection and then Internet/privacy.

Then select your country as the United Kingdom and put in a UK postcode, that's what worked for me.

ok I agree with everything bar the above comment.

The war is going on wherever it occurs.

It's like declaring war on Germany in 1939, but adding an addendum to the declaration that the war will only take place near Berlin.

What a sad day. My thoughts and prayers are with all those who have family and friends caught in this act of terrorism today.

Real Player refused to work for me so I chose Windows Media Player and it has been excellent. Both options were on the main BBC site

Manc, shut up.

Enough with the petty nit-picking. You know what the person is trying to say, so why even bother wasting the finger energfy typing out some useless response.

My heart goes out to London. As usual - innocent fathers, mothers, children and hard working people have become the victims of a political game that has been put together by a few world leaders and wealthy war mongorers.

It's a shame all these barbarians can't just kill each other and leave the rest of society - most of which are just normal people who want to go to work and then come home and watch Eastenders, with no desire to get involved in politics, wars and religion - to live in peace.

Makes me f'in furious.

Me too, Edgware road was my home station, was born in University College Hospital, next to Kings Cross, (they say they have 50 casualties of all nationalities), language schools nearby. I used to work in the city and used Aldgate East or Old Street stations. I don't have any relatives there now though.

Yahoo are saying 40 have been killed and 300 injured but this hasn't been confirmed by the UK authorities yet.

Check your attitude, especially in a thread about lost lives - not the place to be acting snotty and demeaning to somebody. Glad I put your ass in line.

Sadly though, in WW2 you knew who the enemy was judging by their uniform alone, in this kind of warfare you just have gutless bastards.

Still us Brits have lived through the IRA and their attacks, now it’s the turn of someone else.

Thoughts and prayers to all familys involved today.
