After a dramatic shootout in which two police officers

were injured, the man suspected of planting three bombs in New York

a naturalised US citizen who was born in Afghanistan.

He's also being linked to a backpack containing at least five

explosive devices found overnight at a train station in New Jersey.

The FBI say they do not believe he's linked to a wider terrorist cell.

Our North America correspondent Nicky Bryant has more.

This is the suspect who police believed carried out the New York

bombing, bloodied and bandaged following a shootout with police,

but now in custody after a dramatic manhunt. His name is Ahmad Khan

Rahami, a 28-year-old naturalised US citizen who was born in Afghanistan.

He'd been cornered in a quiet suburban street in New Jersey, after

a local resident spotted him sleeping in the door way of a bar. A

policeman approached him and realised he was the suspect. The gun

fight erupted when Rahami refused to put his hands up, and instead he

pulled out a handgun. I seen the cops shooting at the guy. About 12

shots rang out. I guess he got him. Shot by the police he's been

undergoing surgery for a gunshot wound. Two officers were also

injured, but not seriously hurt. The police released photos of him

earlier this morning, after he was spotted on surveillance footage at

the site of the New York bombing and also where a second device was found

streets away. Texts were sent to millions of New Yorkers warning that

he was armed and dangerous. So, obvious relief that he's been

caught. Based on the information we have now, we have every reason to

believe this was an act of terror. We will be going into some detail

and there are still a long investigation ahead. The morning

started with two bomb squad robots investigating a suspicious package,

which exploded before they could even deactivate it. It had been left

near a railway station in the town of Elizabeth New Jersey. The blast

clearly took detectives by surprise. This is the town where Rahami lived.

An investigation quickly turned into a manhunt. The FBI carried out

searches at his family's business. They've been investigating possible

links with a spate of attacks over the weekend. They began on Saturday

morning when a pipe bomb exploded ahead of a charity run for Marines

in New Jersey. Nobody was injured. That was followed on Saturday

evening by an explosion in Chelsea, New York, which injured 29. A second

device was found nearby, both were shrapnel filled pressure cookers.

The same evening nine people were stabbed at a Minnesota shopping

centre, by a man of Somali origin, shot dead later by police. So-called

Islamic State has claimed responsibility. Speaking in New

York, a city that last week commemorated the attacks of 9/11,

the president was defiant. By showing those who want to do us harm

that they will never beat us, by showing the entire world that as

Americans we do not and never will give in to fear, that's going to be

the most important ingredient in us defeating those who would carry out

terrorist acts against us. This evening, the threat to America

became the central issue in the presidential campaign. These attacks

and many others were made possible because of our extremely open

immigration system, which fails to properly vet and screen the

individuals or families coming into our country. I know we will meet

this new danger with the same courage and vigilance. We choose

resolve not fear. On the streets of New York, what authorities are

calling the biggest security presence this city has ever seen.

With a thousand additional police officers and members of the National

Guard protecting key sites. This week, security was already tight

with more than 130 heads of state and government attending the United

Nations general Assembly. We've learned that Rahami is not

cooperating with the police. He's not answering their questions. He's

unwilling even to say what his name is. Friends say that his personality

changed after a visit four years ago to Afghanistan. But the police are

clearly delighted at the speed with which they tracked him down, less

than 50 hours after the New York bombing. The man who police believe

was responsible is off the streets. Our North America editor,

Jon Sopel, is outside the FBI The authorities are not linking this

attack to a wider US terrorist cell, but a lone wolf attack is all the

harder to prevent. And it is the stuff of nightmares for the law

enforcement officials who work at FBI headquarters behind me. How do

you identify someone who is seemingly living the American dream,

who does not show up on any watch lists or on the radar screens and

yet, at some moment will get a weapon or make a bomb and do such

damage. This marks out the American attacks to the European-style

attacks. There seem to be a series of lone wolf attacks, widely

geographically spread. If you think of New York over the weekend,

Minnesota in the midwest, then you had the shooting at the nightclub in

Orlando in June. Last December, there were shootings in San

Bernardino on the West Coast. That plays straight into the political

debate. Hillary Clinton saying, look I'm the one with all the experience.

That is a mixed blessing. Today it was revealed that America has

allowed 858 people, due for deportation, to remain in the US by

mistake. That plays into Donald Trump's hands. Not only is the

message very different between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump,

the language is too. Donald Trump saying, "We've got to go and knock

the hell out of them." Thank you. The United Nations has expressed

outrage at an attack on an aid convoy trying to make its way

into the Syrian city of Aleppo. The convoy was hit just hours

after the Syrian army announced that a week-long ceasefire was over.

Footage tonight appears to show air strikes on warehouses

where the convoy had stopped It's claimed missiles targeted

the convoy while it was parked up Let's join our diplomatic

correspondent, James Robbins, who's at UN headquarters

in New York tonight. What more do you know

about the attack on the aid convoy And who might have done it? The

United Nations is making clear what its Special Envoy to Syria called

"extreme outrage" at this attack. It seems this was an aid convoy put

together by the United Nations by its office for humanitarian affairs

in association with the Syrian Red Crescent, bringing vitally needed

supplies to Aleppo. It was thought to be one of the fruits of the very

fragile ceasefire, which now Frankly seems to have come to an end.

Whoever attacked it, we're not absolutely clear about this, it

seems the UN is blaming the Syrian authorities, not least because

they're making clear that the precise routeing of this convoy was

agreed with the Syrian authorities. It must be said, there were sounds

of helicopter and aircraft activity over the hangar before it was

blasted, before a forceful end to the ceasefire seems to have been

launched. Is there any hope of patching together the ceasefire? Or

is it back to war as usual for the foreseeable future? I have to say,

when the man entire in the -- in charge of the entire process at the

United Nations, gets as angry as tonight, he puts aside diplomatic

language because the process is going nowhere. The rebel side and

soorn side say it's over. The Russians have more or less agreed is

over. It's only the Americans who are trying to keep a flicker of hope

alive. They stand to lose the most, in their eyes, if this collapses.

John Kerry will try to convene his allies tomorrow and seek assurances

from the Russians that the ceasefire is not dead, but I think that

ashurns will not be forth coming. Tonight's condemnation of the latest

violence in Aleppo came as the United Nations held a summit

on refugees, so many of whom have Theresa May said refugees should

seek asylum in the first safe country they reach,

and she called for greater distinction between refugees

and economic migrants. Our deputy political

editor, John Pienaar, Zblt world's migration crisis has

reached a scale almost beyond imagination, over 65 million people

forced from their homes. That's more than the UK population. Pouring

across borders, crossing seas, the strain on nations receiving the

human tide has become as unbearable as the individual tales of

suffering. Theresa May used her debut at the UN to deliver her

fellow leaders a lesson. The uncontrolled migration we see today

is not in the interest of migrants, who are exposed to danger, not in

the interests of the countries they are leaving, travelling through or

seeking to reach and not in the interests of refugees, for whom

resources and popular support are reduced. The Prime Minister's speech

reasserted every nation's right to control its border. More should be

spent helping refugees closer to their own homes. They'd be expected

to stay in the first safe country they reached. She aye reminded

leaders economic migrants are not refugees fleeing harm. There's

pressure on the Government in Britain and elsewhere to help more

migrants. The lifejackets laid out by the thousand in Parliament Square

intended by one major aid organisation as a vivid rebuke. The

vital thing is to address the source of the problem, which means more

effective humanitarian aid to the countries to which people flee, but

also deal with the symptoms. That's smugglers making a profit out of

human misery. That requires a more effective resettlement system as the

counterpart of a more effective international humanitarian aid

system. Today angry migrants, many of whom are now refused entry to

Germany and other EU countries, set their camp ablaze on the Greek

island of Lesbos. The Greek leader facing a backlash against mass

migration of voters and now expresses regret.

TRANSLATION: If I could, I would turn back time for many, many years

to better prepare with the entire government and all those responsible

for the situation that hit us unprepared in the summer of 2015.

Some politicians and leaders who are struggling with the migrant crisis

may resent being lectured by Britain, but Theresa May believes

her formula is one that can work and she's very well aware that many

British voters want tougher controls. That message came through

loud and clear in the EU referendum campaign. Here at the UN, the

migration crisis dominates debate. There'll be a new declaration

planning more cooperation, but stopping the flow, even slowing it

down, looks an historic political challenge.

The Canadian prime minister, who is also at the UN,

is expected to say his country will do more to help

Canada has taken in more than 30,000 Syrians over

the past ten months, with churches, community groups

and families opening their doors to the new arrivals.

Our chief international correspondent, Lyse Doucet,

reports from Toronto, where she had an unexpected reunion.

After just nine months in Canada, these girls know their alphabet.

this family is sponsored by individuals like Claudia.

They clubbed together to respond to Syria's refugee crisis.

So what other question words do you use?

helps three generations of the Abdullah family with their English.

It's the best way to integrate newcomers

into the country, to get them connected with the city,

all the things that are available,

that sets the tone for the rest of their lives in Canada.

Syrian music at a picnic in the park.

And a warm welcome for more of the family's Canadian sponsors.

Their group raised enough money to support the Abdullahs for a year.

Everyone at this gathering is doing something similar.

but for now the public mood is largely positive.

It's so striking just how different the mood is compared

to much of Europe, but then much about Canada is different.

Every Syrian family here was carefully vetted

and welcomed by Canadian families, and there haven't been the kind of

attacks here which have created such fear across Europe.

But still, when you see this, you have to ask,

could this kind of model be adopted somewhere else?

She told me in her dreams she would go back to her old house

and see the ghosts of her friends, see people with their heads cut off.

Every night, I say like tomorrow I will go play,

tomorrow I have school, tomorrow everything,

like I forget the nightmares, and now everything is happy now.

Canada's Prime Minister wins applause for his refugee policy.

London Mayor Sadiq Khan is the latest to come calling.

Does Canada's response to the refugee crisis

have any lessons for the rest of the world?

We know that differences are a source of strength,

and that's something that we have to continue to demonstrate.

It means better jobs, better outcomes

These Syrians already feel they belong here.

This vast country has long made space for new citizens,

it's asking how many more will it make room for.

How long will this warm welcome last?

Now, Christopher Halliwell must have thought he'd got away with murder.

He confessed to killing 20-year-old Becky Godden five years ago

and even showed a police officer where he'd buried her body.

meant he couldn't be brought to trial until this year.

Today he was convicted of her murder,

alongside his current sentence for the murder of another woman.

Child victims of burglary, we want to understand...

2001, and Becky Godden was in the audience

I don't want to keep coming back every couple of years...

She was strangled by taxi driver Christopher Halliwell,

who laughed in court today as the jury found him guilty

She has waited years for a conviction.

It has been an extremely painful journey, but today we've received

the justice that has felt like an eternity coming

What makes this case so unusual is that,

five years ago, Halliwell led police to this remote area

of Gloucestershire and showed them the spot

where he said he'd buried a prostitute.

This is where they found Becky's remains.

Given that Christopher Halliwell stood in this field

and told officers that he'd strangled a woman and then buried

her here, you might think this case would have been dealt with quickly.

In fact, it has been anything but straightforward.

So why has it taken so long to get a conviction in this case?

Well, Halliwell was arrested in 2011 over the disappearance

of another young woman, Sian O'Callaghan.

He led police to her body and later pleaded guilty to her murder.

But when he was arrested, he stunned officers

by directing them to Becky's remains as well.

He said he'd killed her almost a decade earlier.

But because the detective in charge hadn't followed

the correct procedures when he arrested Halliwell,

none of that evidence could be presented in court.

Detective Steve Fulcher was later found guilty

of gross misconduct and resigned from the force.

In a statement tonight, he said he still believes

he did the right thing in letting Halliwell lead him to the bodies,

rather than going straight to the police station.

Becky's mum praised him for following his instinct.

I will always respect him and will be indebted to him

for making that moral decision as a police officer.

But he should never have suffered the terrible consequences,

loss of reputation and career for doing such a thing.

In the end, new forensic evidence helped bring the case back to court,

Halliwell now confirmed as a double murderer,

and police say there could well be more victims.

The chief executive of Google Europe has told the BBC that

Brexit is only a short-term issue and it shouldn't distract Britain

from doing business beyond the European Union and around the world.

Matt Brittin said the future for British tech firms looks bright.

They already employ 1.6 million people,

and UK tech companies have a combined turnover of ?160 billion.

In the first of our reports this week

Matt Brittin was speaking to our economics editor, Kamal Ahmed.

Silicon Valley, the sun-kissed home to the American giants

some have argued could never have made it in Britain -

started in garages and university dorms.

It's not just the weather that makes the difference.

Here in the UK, the head of Google says things are improving,

You need entrepreneurs, skills and finance.

My sense here is we've got amazing skills,

Google employs 4000 plus people in the UK,

they're as good as anywhere in the world.

Finance, access to finance is getting better

I think the sort of ambition and the realisation you can do big

global things is ever more present for British entrepreneurs.

Much talk focuses on the referendum result -

But this is a global battle in which even the EU is a local matter.

The internet population is doubling from 2.7 billion people

to over 5 billion people in a four to five-year period.

That is the trend that entrepreneurs really need

to be paying attention to, and ultimately, you know,

I'm sure that the Government will sort out solutions

for all of the local issues around Brexit.

Here are robots making a difference at Sir James Dyson's factory.

Our whole setup is about creating technology...

The founder said the next Google could be making batteries

Technology applied to hardware, algorithms,

software applied to hardware is growing far faster

than companies like Google and Uber and Amazon.

So I think that technology is, this horrible word that technology

companies are only companies that are involved in the internet

London's humbler and noisily expanding riposte to Silicon Valley.

It was here in 2010 that David Cameron made his famous speech,

asking why isn't there a Google in the UK?

But since then, there has been rapid expansion.

The number of tech companies based here six years ago was just 85.

That figure has increased to 2500 now.

Up the road - Improbable, makers of virtual-reality worlds.

Not for them selling out to American investors,

an accusation laid at the door of many UK tech firms.

The founder says the final prize is huge.

One break-out success is worth more than an average outcome

for thousands of other companies, because that single break-out,

you know, success becomes not only GDP-moving,

but it becomes a foundation when its employees cash out

and leave and start new companies in the same country,

And that's ultimately how Silicon Valley has been so successful -

one Titan becomes the kind of progenitor

of many smaller businesses that spring up and also grow.

for a sector that already employs 1.6 million people.

but do not underestimate tech's importance.

The Olympic gold medallists Mo Farah, Justin Rose and Helen Glover

have become the some of latest athletes

to have their confidential medical records leaked online.

The documents suggest that all three,

along with other Team GB medallists, received exemptions

from the World Anti-Doping Agency to take banned substances,

Last month, Mo Farah underlined his status

as one of Britain's greatest athletes,

Today he was among the latest victims

of the hacking scandal that has stunned sport.

Therapeutic use exemptions, or TUEs, which allows sick or injured

athletes to receive normally banned treatments,

have been published by a Russian cyber-espionage group.

Farah has had two - a steroid injection in 2008,

and morphine two years ago after collapsing following training.

Tonight, a spokesman said, Mo has got nothing to hide

and doesn't have a problem with this information being released.

Mo's medical care is overseen at all times by British athletics,

and over the course of his long career he's only ever had two TUEs.

But the Team GB gold medallists named today include

golfer Justin Rose, rower Helen Glover, and the hockey

star Samantha Quek, who had a TUE for a routine asthma prescription.

And tonight she told the BBC how she felt.

Upsetting, mainly disappointed and irritated.

You know, my main concern is where does this lead,

and what perception does this have on TUEs?

The public are being led down a road that TUEs are now being associated

with being a cheat or almost dirty, and I can stand here

and legitimately say that is not the case, especially for myself.

There is no suggestion that any of the athletes named

on this website by the hackers, who go by the name

of the Fancy Bears, have done anything wrong.

But at a time when trust in sport is wearing thin,

the revelations have forced it to face some difficult questions

about whether the TUE system needs to be more stringent

The man whose damning report into Russian state-sponsored doping

is thought to have provoked the hack has this to say.

and that is probably an area that needs to be looked at,

how frequently TUEs are being used in particular sports.

Cyclist Sir Bradley Wiggins is facing questions after the leak

last week of three steroid TUEs for his asthma,

having previously denied having had injections.

said he was merely referring to intravenous jabs, and not TUEs.

It's not just British athletes - these just some of the global stars

whose confidential medical records have been exposed.

but it has also revealed a grey area in anti-doping,

as sport braces itself for more leaks to come.

A brief look at other news stories, the chairman of the troubled

Southern Health trust has resigned. Tim Smart cited personal reasons. He

had only taken up the role in May following damning criticism of the

trust's investigations into hundreds of unexpected depths. Paul Gascoigne

has been fined ?2000 after pleading guilty to racial abuse. He appeared

in court after complaints about a jokey told onstage in Wolverhampton.

The Paralympic Games have ended in Rio,

with a colourful closing ceremony in a packed Maracana stadium.

Britain's Paralympians have been been celebrating

ParaGB ended in second place in the medals table

Andy Swiss has been looking at what lies behind

our extraordinary summer of sporting success.

The record-breaker, the history maker, Kadeena Cox!

Turns, scores! That's the golden goal!

Two Games, one never-ending gold rush.

After the London 2012, few thought it could get any better,

but Britain's Olympians and Paralympians

Last night, they were flying the flag for the final time in Rio,

the end of a summer of spectacular success.

A lot of countries don't perform at the Games

after they've had their home ones, and we have, you know,

Team GB and ParalympicsGB have just been amazing.

At London 2012, Britain's Olympians and Paralympians

won 185 medals between them, including 63 golds.

In Rio, without home advantage, they've done even better -

And while in London they both finished third in the medals table,

here they've each moved up to second,

the first time they've both made the top two.

Well, certainly funding - some ?350 million, or 1.6 million per medal,

covering everything from their pre-games training base in Brazil

to the details which can make that difference.

Here at the Paralympic Games, you know, the swimmers

have actually benefited from more streamlined caps, swimming caps.

So, you know, it could make the difference

The only problem now for British sport

is how do you follow such weight of success?

At the moment, we're lucky, there's money in sport,

and long may that continue, but it may not always be that way,

so we've also got to be smart as we go forward,

and other countries are going to catch up,

whether it's with technology or funding.

But as the fans head home, for British sport,

it's the end of a truly golden summer.

And talking of sporting success, a story of brotherly love.

British brothers and rivals Jonny and Alistair Brownlee

were about to follow up their Olympic glory yesterday

at a triathlon in Mexico, when things suddenly started to go wrong.

and Jonny Brownlee looked certain to be world champion.

He's losing his sense of direction, this is worrying.

In the lead with about 500 metres to go, a dramatic decline.

The swimming, cycling and running in punishing heat were too much.

Then big brother Alistair stepped in.

I remember my legs going a little bit wobbly,

thinking, "I'm not going to make it to the finish line."

And Alistair coming past me and saying,

"Come on, you can make it," and a few other words as well.

Firstly, I was thinking, "What an idiot!"

He could have won this race so easily,

and he was being tactically just ridiculous.

But he was determined to get his brother over the line,

even as South Africa's Henri Schoeman overtook them.

Jonny can hardly stand, and Alistair is having

to drag him across the line, and pushing him home,

It was literally just a spur of the moment decision to do

the right thing, and when I was sat for an hour after the race,

it's getting dark, thinking, "Did I actually do the right thing?"

As his brother was stretchered away, there's little doubt did.

Obviously, I'll be thankful for the rest of my life.

I have to buy him a good Christmas present.

But no, no, I know Alistair is a competitor, and he would have

wanted to come second in that race, and he had the chance to do that.

Oh, yeah, you had the chance to win, of course!

But he thew that away to help me out, and obviously

it takes a very strong and good person to do that,

We have Brian Cox on the programme this evening, talking about science

in an age where many people seem keen not to bother to listen to what

scientists have to say. That and a lot more on BBC Two now and
