Reporters' Log: London explosions
There have been several explosions on the London Underground Tube network this morning, and on a bus in central London. BBC News correspondents are on the scene with the latest details.

Nick Thatcher: Royal London Hospital: 1130 BST BST
The Royal London Hospital have been receiving casulties all morning. This is a major hospital in East London. There's an air ambulance landing on the roof behind me. There are buses behind me which have come from the Kings Cross area in central London. On board are walking wounded who have been ferried here.


Jon Brain : Edgeware Road : 1115 BST

There's been a scene of chaos and confusion all morning here but it's beginning to settle down. The entire area around the tube station has been sealed off and there are dozens of emergency vehicles here.

We've seen a number of walking wounded emerge from the station, many of them covered with blood and obviously quite distraught. They are being treated at a hotel opposite the tube station.

The concern now is whether there are still people trapped inside the tube station underground. I've seen a team of paramedics go in to the station in the last half hour.

I just hope this doesnt give more fuel to the invade unrelated countries crusade.

But this will be good if it gives makes the world more aware and serious about terrorism.

Personally, if the WTC haden't been in the measure of thousands of people, i think most of the world would have thought. *cough cough* deserved it *cough cough*

But if countries which arent on the worlds s**t list as much get hit more by terrorism were on the way to getting rid of it almost altogether

Maybe I'll die in the city of my choice.

On a darker side, that's terrible.

33 confirmed dead now. No children, fortunatly.

Still thats 33 dead!!
