The UK terror threat level is being reduced from "severe" to "substantial", the home secretary has announced. The new alert level means the risk of a terrorist attack is considered to be a "strong possibility" and "might well occur without further warning". Theresa May said: "The change in the threat level does not mean that the overall threat has gone away. "There is still a real and serious threat to the UK and I would ask the public to remain ever vigilant."
