Prime Minister Theresa May says the terror attack near a north London mosque is “every bit as sickening” as other recent ones to hit the UK.

She was speaking after a man died and 10 people were injured when a man drove a van into worshippers outside the Muslim Welfare House.

Eight people were taken to hospital after the attack outside the mosque, which is also a community centre.

A 48-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. A group of people were helping a man who had collapsed when they were hit by the van just after midnight. The man has died, but it is unclear whether this was as a result of the attack.

This is the fourth terror attack in the UK in four months, after incidents in Westminster, Manchester and on London Bridge. Police said all the victims of the attack, which was in the area of Finsbury Park Mosque, were Muslim.

An explosion at the gates of a Chinese kindergarten that killed eight people was caused by a 22-year-old man who died in the blast, police say.

Bomb-making materials were found in the flat where the man, named as Xu, lived, and the words “die” and “death” had been scrawled on the walls.

The blast happened just as parents in Fengxian in the eastern province of Jiangsu were picking up their children at the end of the day. It is being treated as a criminal act.

Xu had suffered from health problems and had dropped out of school but was employed, police said.

More than 60 people were injured in the explosion, including eight who are in a serious condition, the authorities say. A survivor told Chinese state TV that the kindergarten gate had just opened for children to leave but none had come out when the blast happened.

A man has been detained by armed police outside the Palace of Westminster.

A bearded man, wearing black trousers and a grey sweatshirt, was seen being held against the fence with his arms behind his back by a police officer.

The incident is not thought to be terror related. The Carriage Gates entrance to Parliament is closed.

Evening Standard political editor Joe Murphy tweeted that there were shouts of “knife, knife, knife” and a man was brought down with a Taser.

Scotland Yard said the man – aged in his 30s – was arrested on suspicion of possessing a knife.
There are no reported injuries.

Russia’s defence ministry is investigating whether one of its air strikes in Syria killed the leader of the Islamic State militant group (IS).

The ministry said an air strike may have killed Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and up to 330 other fighters on 28 May.

It said the raid had targeted a meeting of the IS military council in the group’s de-facto capital of Raqqa, in northern Syria. There have been a number of previous reports of Baghdadi’s death.

This is the first time, however, that Russia has said it may have killed the IS leader. Other media reports have previously claimed he had been killed or critically injured by US-led coalition air strikes.

A statement by Russia’s defence ministry published by the state-funded Sputnik news agency said 30 IS commanders and up to 300 soldiers were at the Raqqa meeting. “According to information that is checked through various channels, IS leader Ibrahim Abu-Bakr al-Baghdadi, who was killed as a result of the strike, was also present at the meeting,” it added.

The International Criminal Court (ICC) has called for the arrest and surrender of Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, who was released by a militia in Libya last week after six years in jail.

The son of late leader Col Muammar Gaddafi is wanted for alleged crimes against humanity during the rebellion that ousted his father in 2011. His location is unclear. The UN-backed government has condemned the release.

It is feared that the move could fuel further instability in the country.

Saif al-Islam was freed from jail last Friday by the Abu Bakr al-Siddiq Battalion militia in the western town of Zintan under an amnesty law. He has not been seen in public since then. He is Believed to be in the Tobruk area of eastern Libya.

Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda, of the Hague-based ICC, said her office was still trying to verify the release, and called on Libya and other states to arrest and surrender him. “Libya is obliged to immediately arrest and surrender Mr Gaddafi to the ICC, regardless of any purported amnesty law in Libya,” she said in a statement.
