London is on high alert following a terrorist incident Saturday night, which police say killed at least seven people and injured 48._ by [Madeline Farber](https://time.com/author/madeline-farber/) ## Madeline Farber Jun 7, 2017 12:55 PM UTC London is on high alert following a terrorist incident Saturday night, which police say killed at least seven people and injured 48. by [Madeline Farber](https://time.com/author/madeline-farber/) ## Madeline Farber Jun 7, 2017 12:55 PM UTC [James Corden](http://time.com/4805897/carpool-karaoke-with-ed-sheeran/), the host of _The Late Late Show_, is impressed by the United Kingdom’s spirit after the attacks in London over the weekend. In the opening monologue of his show, [according to the BBC](http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-40185187), Corden praised the “stoic British determination to let nothing or anybody stand in our way.” He continued: “I’m so proud to be broadcasting here from my home town… this is not a country that feels afraid,” he said. Corden is hosting the show in London for three nights this week. Later during the show, [Nicole Kidman](http://time.com/4805636/nicole-kidman-nashville-predators/), one of Corden’s guests, said she “wanted to be here to support England and London right now,” according to the BBC. You can read Corden’s full opening monologue below: _I’m so sad when I think about all the times that I’ve had to open our show talking about such atrocities. Trying to find the right words to say is impossible because there are none._ _Some people might say it’s a strange time to do a variety show in this city. I couldn’t disagree more. A lot’s going to happen here in the next few days._ _We’re going to elect a new prime minister, and just behind that building there \[gesturing\] is the Houses of Parliament, a building that represents democracy, something that the people who carried out this attack hate._ _We’re gonna bring the silliest, stupidest, most fun-packed shows we’ve ever made for you to celebrate London and Britain and everything it has to offer. And you know what the people who carried out that attack, they would hate that too._ _I’m so proud to be broadcasting here from my home town. I’m proud to show off its beauty, its diversity, and its stoic British determination to let nothing or anybody stand in our way. This is not a country that feels afraid._ ## Transcript In terms of their planning and execution, the recent attacks are not connected. But we believe we are experiencing a new trend in the threat we face. as terrorism breeds terrorism. And perpetrators are inspired to attack, not only on the basis of carefully constructed plots after years of planning and training And not even as lone attackers radicalized online. But by copying one another and often using the crudest of means of attack. We cannot and must not pretend that things can continue as they are. We cannot allow this ideology, the safe space it needs to breed. Yet that is precisely what the internet and the big companies that provide internet based services provide. We need to work with allied democratic governments to reach International agreements that regulate cyberspace to prevent the spread of extremists and terrorism planning. And we need to do everything we can at home to reduce the risks of extremism online. While the recent attacks are not connected by common networks, they are connected in one important sense, they are bound together by the single evil ideology of Islamitic extremism. That preaches hatred, sows division and promotes sectarianism. It is an ideology that claims our Western values of freedom, democracy and human rights are incompatible with the religion of Islam. It is an ideology that is a perversion of Islam. and the perversion of the truth. Defeating this ideology is one of the great challenges of our time ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4808774/james-corden-late-show-london-attacks/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4808774/james-corden-late-show-london-attacks/"},"headline":"James Corden Praises U.K. Spirit After London Attack","datePublished":"2017-06-07T12:55:26.000Z","dateModified":"2026-10-08T09:06:01.091Z","description":"\"I'm so proud to be broadcasting here from my home town.\"","url":"https://time.com/4808774/james-corden-late-show-london-attacks/","keywords":["james corden","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4594caa427c8c865/6988bfa086f68e7ead6e3f60/james-corden.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Madeline Farber","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/madeline-farber/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4594caa427c8c865/6988bfa086f68e7ead6e3f60/james-corden.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"James Corden","caption":"James Corden arrives at PaleyFest on March 22, 2017 in Hollywood, California","creditText":"Leon Bennett/WireImage","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4808774/james-corden-late-show-london-attacks/","name":"James Corden Praises U.K. Spirit After London Attack"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Theresa May Responds To London Bridge Attack","description":"London is on high alert following a terrorist incident Saturday night, which police say killed at least seven people and injured 48.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/H5LwYUgT/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2017-06-04T14:29:19.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/H5LwYUgT.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4808774/james-corden-late-show-london-attacks/","duration":"PT1M51S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4808774/james-corden-late-show-london-attacks/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
