We have some further information on the 12 arrests made by police on Sunday investigating the London Bridge attack.
Four addresses were raided in east London, but at two of those properties nobody was arrested. Twelve people were arrested at the two other addresses.
Of the 12, seven are women, aged between 19 and 60.
Five men, aged between 28 and 55, were also detained, but one – a 55-year-old man – has already been released without charge.
Eleven remain in custody.
All are detained on suspicion of offences under the Terrorism Act, which means they can be held for up to two weeks before a decision must be made whether to charge or release them.

On Monday, the first funeral of one of the 22 victims of the Manchester Arena terror attack will take place.
Eilidh MacLeod, who was 14, will be remembered in a ceremony at Church of Our Lady, Star of the Sea in Castlebay on the island of Barra in the Outer Hebrides.
Her friend Laura MacIntyre was badly injured in the bombing and remains in hospital.
Eilidh’s parents, Roddy and Marion MacLeod, paid tribute to her ahead of the funeral:
Two weeks ago today we lost our darling daughter and sister, Eilidh MacLeod, in one of the cruellest ways possible.
Most of Eilidh’s happiest times were spent in the Western Isles, particularly Barra and Vatersay, with her friends and family, so we are pleased to have her back home among those she loved so much.
Today, as we take Eilidh on her final journey, our one hope is that her funeral is a real celebration of her life and the wonderful person she was.
Eilidh’s infectious personality touched everyone she met and it has been a privilege and an honour to have her as our daughter.
We will always remember her as a truly beautiful girl inside and out, eternally young, loved by all and forever in our hearts.

One of the seven victims killed in Saturday night’s attack has been named as Christine Archibald, who was from Canada.
Her family has issued a statement asking people to “honour her by making your community a better place”:
We grieve the loss of our beautiful, loving daughter and sister. She had room in her heart for everyone and believed strongly that every person was to be valued and respected.
She lived this belief, working in a shelter for the homeless until she moved to Europe to be with her fiancé.
She would have had no understanding of the callous cruelty that caused her death.
Please honour her by making your community a better place. Volunteer your time and labour or donate to a homeless shelter. Tell them Chrissy sent you.

Three Australians are believed to have been caught up in the London Bridge terrorism attack, Julie Bishop has said.
The foreign minister told ABC radio on Monday she had spoken to the father of an Australian woman who is recovering in hospital, while another who received stitches was on his way back home.
“We’re still making inquiries in respect to the circumstances of the third Australian,” Bishop said after speaking to the high commissioner in London, Alexander Downer.
A Brisbane woman, Candice Hedge, 30, was badly wounded when she was slashed in the throat in Saturday’s deadly attack. She is recovering in St Thomas’s hospital in London.
Hedge’s mother, Kim del Toro, told Fairfax Media her daughter had received emergency surgery but “she is going to be fine, thank goodness”.
Also injured was Andrew Morrison, from Darwin. In a video posted on Reddit, Morrison, who had a blood-stained cloth wrapped around his neck, said he had been stabbed after leaving Belushi’s bar in London Bridge where he had been watching the Champions League final.
“All of a sudden this guy comes up with a knife … I push him off. I walk into a pub and say, ‘Someone help me, I’ve been stabbed,’” he said on the video.

CBC News in Canada has more details on Chrissy Archibald, named as one of the victims who died in the London attack. CBC reports:
The Canadian woman who was killed during the attack in London died in her fiancé’s arms on London Bridge, according to her future sister-in-law.
Christine Archibald, from Castlegar, British Columbia, was among the seven people killed in what UK prime minister Theresa May has described as a “brutal terrorist attack”.
Archibald was engaged to Tyler Ferguson. His sister, Cassie Ferguson, said her brother was with Archibald on London Bridge during the attack.
“He is broken into a million pieces,” Ferguson told CBC News in a Facebook Messenger conversation. “He held her and watched her die in his arms.”
