Today's Highlighted Video Story: The UK's terror threat level has been raised to "severe" - meaning an attack on British soil is highly likely. The Home Secretary Priti Patel described it as a precautionary measure, after a series of attacks in Europe - including last night’s attack in Vienna when a gunman shot four people dead and injured more than 20 others. The suspect - a 20 year old Islamist extremist, who'd been jailed for trying to join the militant IS group in Syria - was eventually shot dead by police.
