:02:09. > :02:10.President Putin, who was in the city at the time,

:02:11. > :02:15.said all causes, including terrorism, were being investigated.

:02:16. > :02:17.The explosion happened in a train carriage as it travelled

:02:18. > :02:25.Within minutes the entire network was closed

:02:26. > :02:30.and police later found and defused a device at another station.

:02:31. > :02:38.Our correspondent, Steve Rosenberg, is in St Petersberg with the latest.

:02:39. > :02:45.2 million people use the Saint Petersburg Metro every day. This

:02:46. > :02:48.city relies on this underground. Earlier today Metro train left the

:02:49. > :02:52.station behind me, entered the tunnel and was rocked by an

:02:53. > :02:55.explosion. The blast shocked not just the city but

:02:56. > :03:04.this country as well. A woman shouting, are there any children? A

:03:05. > :03:09.train carriage torn to shreds and a desperate effort to pull people from

:03:10. > :03:14.the wreckage. From the safety of a passing train, a hint of the

:03:15. > :03:21.devastation it is leaving behind. At least ten passengers were killed

:03:22. > :03:26.today and dozens more wounded. The blast occurred in the tunnel but the

:03:27. > :03:32.wrecked train sped on a managed to reach the next station but this was

:03:33. > :03:37.the scene one stop behind, the platform filled with thick, choking

:03:38. > :03:42.smoke and the stench of explosives. TRANSLATION: There was a huge bang,

:03:43. > :03:46.it was deafening. Was sitting next to a metal railing I think it saved

:03:47. > :03:55.my life. Everyone was knocked in one direction by the blast. Emergency

:03:56. > :03:58.services were on the scene fast. From this underground Hell, the

:03:59. > :04:03.wounded were helped to the service and to safety. Adding to physical

:04:04. > :04:08.injuries was a deep sense of shock as to what happened. A spokesman for

:04:09. > :04:13.Russia's and heat is an committee said the train had been blown up by

:04:14. > :04:18.an unknown explosive device. Special unit of the security. Where being

:04:19. > :04:23.dispatched. The Saint Petersburg Metro went into emergency lockdown.

:04:24. > :04:28.All passengers evacuated. All stations closed and searched. Later

:04:29. > :04:33.it was revealed an explosive device had been discovered at another Metro

:04:34. > :04:37.station in Saint Petersburg. This one was made safe. It was

:04:38. > :04:41.confirmation that today's explosion had been a deliberate attack.

:04:42. > :04:47.Vladimir Putin was in Saint Petersburg today. His meeting with

:04:48. > :04:52.another president overshadowed by the tragedy across town. The police

:04:53. > :04:56.and special services would do all they could to find the cause of what

:04:57. > :05:03.happened, President Putin said. And he promised support to the families

:05:04. > :05:09.of the victims. Russia says this was an act of terror. You carried it

:05:10. > :05:15.out? Russia made enemies with its bombing campaign in Syria. In recent

:05:16. > :05:21.years, the country has been targeted by Islamist terrorists. In 2015, a

:05:22. > :05:25.plane carrying Russian holiday-makers was blown up over

:05:26. > :05:31.Sinai, killing 217 passengers and crew for the so-called Islamic State

:05:32. > :05:35.said it planted the bomb. The Russian president, Vladimir Putin,

:05:36. > :05:42.visited the Metro station whether bond train had ended its journey and

:05:43. > :05:45.paid his respects. For victims of this attack Saint Petersburg

:05:46. > :05:50.declared three days of mourning. The Metro is alive blood of this city.

:05:51. > :05:59.This has left people here fearing more violence. -- the life

:06:00. > :06:03.blood. That you Putin has been meeting security officials here in

:06:04. > :06:06.Saint Petersburg as the investigation gets under way.

:06:07. > :06:12.Tonight there are reports in Russian media that this attack may have been

:06:13. > :06:17.carried out by a suicide bomber. I can confirm that security has been

:06:18. > :06:23.tightened in Saint Petersburg and across Russia tonight. Thank you

:06:24. > :06:24.again. Our security correspondent,

:06:25. > :06:26.Frank Gardner, is here. Frank, are there any

:06:27. > :06:42.more indications tonight Can you shed more light on the

:06:43. > :06:46.picture? There are two macro groups. Terrorism from the Caucasus or

:06:47. > :06:50.international terrorism from Syria. One report has put the number of

:06:51. > :06:57.Russian nationals who have gone to fight in Syria up to 7000. Some have

:06:58. > :07:02.been killed, some have stayed and some have come home. Russia has

:07:03. > :07:06.already been fighting two wars in the North Caucasus. It has reduced

:07:07. > :07:14.that to a simmering status. People are angry. A lot of the fear

:07:15. > :07:17.fiercest fighters who have joined so-called Islamic State have come

:07:18. > :07:25.from the North Caucasus bout with the latter is where the focus of the

:07:26. > :07:30.F X -- FSB's attentions have been focused. They are the successes of

:07:31. > :07:36.the KGB for that they had been looking at the evidence and parental

:07:37. > :07:41.residue, examining the bomb and questioning suspects and looking at

:07:42. > :07:45.CCTV. They have been commendably reticent, and name the suspect that

:07:46. > :07:49.those are the areas they are looking at.

:07:50. > :07:50.The Prime Minister has dismissed suggestions

:07:51. > :07:52.of a possible military conflict between Britain and Spain,

:07:53. > :07:57.Yesterday, the former Conservative leader Michael Howard drew parallels

:07:58. > :07:59.with the battle over the Falklands in 1982.

:08:00. > :08:02.It follows a suggestion by the EU that any Brexit deal will apply

:08:03. > :08:08.Theresa May was speaking on a visit to the Middle East.

:08:09. > :08:14.Our deputy political editor John Pienaar is travelling with her.

:08:15. > :08:17.Theresa May is out to show Britain will still be a big, global

:08:18. > :08:20.Standing by friends, old allies like Jordan,

:08:21. > :08:26.She came here with promises of military training but today

:08:27. > :08:31.she also had to scotch any suggestion those enemies

:08:32. > :08:34.might include Spain - which claims Gibraltar as its own.

:08:35. > :08:37.Negotiation, not war, was the answer.

:08:38. > :08:39.We are focusing on talking with the rest of the EU,

:08:40. > :08:42.starting the formal negotiations, and ensuring that, at the end

:08:43. > :08:46.of those negotiations, we see a result that will be

:08:47. > :08:49.in the interests of the UK and in the interests of Gibraltar.

:08:50. > :08:52.Actually I think it will be in the interests

:08:53. > :08:55.of the 27 member states of the European Union as well.

:08:56. > :08:58.Being the face of British power is serious work but Mrs May had

:08:59. > :09:01.laughed out loud earlier when reporters asked her to rule out

:09:02. > :09:08.Another Prime Minister, Churchill, famously preferred

:09:09. > :09:19.But Gibraltar, famous ape population and all, has been coveted

:09:20. > :09:25.The rock's freedom to levy lower taxes is resented by Madrid,

:09:26. > :09:29.which wants a say in Gibraltar's future after Brexit,

:09:30. > :09:33.not if those in charge now have any say in it.

:09:34. > :09:35.Gibraltar is not a bargaining chip in these negotiations.

:09:36. > :09:36.Gibraltar belongs to the Gibraltarians

:09:37. > :09:45.Nobody is going to gut our soul by taking away our British sovereignty.

:09:46. > :09:48.The row over the rock is another Brexit complication.

:09:49. > :09:52.Every EU state has to approve the Brexit deal but Spain was taken

:09:53. > :09:54.aback after a senior Tory compared the row to the Falklands

:09:55. > :10:04.TRANSLATION: It is obvious that in this case -

:10:05. > :10:06.Europe and Gibraltar - the traditional, British phlegm has

:10:07. > :10:12.Today, Theresa May calmed the tone of a dispute

:10:13. > :10:17.The notion of a war with Spain was always wildly implausible

:10:18. > :10:20.but that dispute goes on and Britain will need all the goodwill

:10:21. > :10:24.it can get if it is to get a good deal on Brexit.

:10:25. > :10:28.The mission of developing relations outside the European Union is vital.

:10:29. > :10:39.The Prime Minister will carry on with that mission tomorrow.

:10:40. > :10:45.There will be more cash to help Jordan's rulers to cope with a

:10:46. > :10:50.massive influx of refugees fleeing Syria. The next stop is Saudi

:10:51. > :10:52.Arabia. It has a human rights record that makes for a far less

:10:53. > :10:58.comfortable relationship. As Mrs May heads tonight

:10:59. > :11:00.to Saudi Arabia, a senior Saudi general has defended his country's

:11:01. > :11:03.actions in the brutal Major-General Ahmed al-Asiri told

:11:04. > :11:06.the BBC that lessons had been learned, where civilian

:11:07. > :11:10.casualties had been inflicted. The fighting in Yemen has

:11:11. > :11:12.claimed more than 10,000, and displaced more than

:11:13. > :11:16.three million people. In March 2015, a Saudi-led

:11:17. > :11:19.coalition, supported by the US and the UK,

:11:20. > :11:22.intervened against Houthi rebels, The prolonged fighting has led

:11:23. > :11:30.to a humanitarian crisis. The Saudi general was speaking

:11:31. > :11:32.to our correspondent Nawal Al Maghafi, who's travelled

:11:33. > :11:49.widely in Yemen during the war, These are the faces of Yemen's star

:11:50. > :11:53.thing children. An aerial and naval blockade imposed by the Saudi

:11:54. > :11:57.coalition under who the rebels slowing down the distribution of aid

:11:58. > :12:09.has meant the hungry here have seen no relief. All five cranes have been

:12:10. > :12:15.destroyed and food is trickling in. Leading a government campaign in

:12:16. > :12:22.Yemen is this general Brigadier. We want to know by cranes that could be

:12:23. > :12:31.providing life-saving aid and fuel for the Yemeni people have been sent

:12:32. > :12:37.back. We do not want the Houthis to generate money by smuggling women.

:12:38. > :12:39.There is no starvation in the area controlled by the Government will

:12:40. > :12:46.you should have the other international committee interest to

:12:47. > :12:52.see this war end. If we continue to sustain the militias with fuel and

:12:53. > :12:57.money and the women, they will not come to the table for negotiation.

:12:58. > :13:02.The Saudi led coalition has been accused by human rights groups of

:13:03. > :13:13.using clustered -- cluster bombs. The UK side are treaty to stop the

:13:14. > :13:17.use of its cluster munitions. Until recently, the Saudi government had

:13:18. > :13:21.repeatedly denied using cluster bombs at all. I want to know why it

:13:22. > :13:33.took so long to tell the truth. Let me tell you something. Is it a

:13:34. > :13:46.chemical weapon? No, it isn't. It is manufactured by different countries.

:13:47. > :13:51.It is bound to use cluster munitions in civilian areas. It is bound by

:13:52. > :13:59.international law. You are giving the wrong information. You are

:14:00. > :14:12.allowed to use cluster bombs on farmland? There is no military ill

:14:13. > :14:18.effect used. You did lose it. Vella macro no, no. Since the war in Yemen

:14:19. > :14:22.began, the UK has sold ?3 billion worth of arms to Saudi Arabia.

:14:23. > :14:26.Pressure on the British government is and human rights groups calling

:14:27. > :14:36.for the transfer of weapons to be suspended. We signed a contract to a

:14:37. > :14:41.country to country. We pay money. It goes in the UK economy and we

:14:42. > :14:48.enhance our military capability. The perception that people have that the

:14:49. > :14:52.UK gives us free weapons, no. If the UK decides tomorrow to stop selling

:14:53. > :14:57.weapons to the kingdom, we will find another supplier. Two years into

:14:58. > :15:00.this war, neither side has made concessions. For the people of

:15:01. > :15:03.Yemen, the suffering continues. Live to Amman in Jordan,

:15:04. > :15:14.and John Pienaar is there. The Prime Minister heading to Saudi

:15:15. > :15:18.Arabia but she's been talking about the conflict in Yemen. What has she

:15:19. > :15:22.been saying? This has been an often uncomfortable relationship for

:15:23. > :15:28.successive British leaders over decades. Now the famine continues in

:15:29. > :15:31.Yemen, the number of casualties continue to rise and Theresa May

:15:32. > :15:35.sees this relationship, among others, as being so important to

:15:36. > :15:40.Britain's relationship and punching power in the world after Brexit.

:15:41. > :15:44.She's been arguing here that Britain relies on intelligence from Saudi

:15:45. > :15:50.Arabia, that it saved British lives, that Britain donated money to

:15:51. > :15:55.humanitarian relief in Yemen. But those are not satisfied you say it

:15:56. > :15:59.makes most sense to support a blockade and seek to relieve the

:16:00. > :16:03.suffering it causes at the same time. Others say Britain is selling

:16:04. > :16:07.its principles for profit. Thank you. John penile, travelling with

:16:08. > :16:20.the Prime Minister and in Jordan Smiler.

:16:21. > :16:24.Four men and a woman have appeared in court,

:16:25. > :16:26.charged in connection with an attack on a teenage asylum seeker

:16:27. > :16:30.This evening, two more people have been charged.

:16:31. > :16:32.Seven people, who have been arrested, remain in custody.

:16:43. > :16:45.The suspects all live close to where the attack

:16:46. > :16:48.Police have asked us not to show their faces.

:16:49. > :16:50.Daryl and Danyelle Davis, Barry Potts, Jack and George Walder,

:16:54. > :17:02.A group of up to 30, allegedly confronted two

:17:03. > :17:05.young asylum seekers - a third waiting at a bus stop

:17:06. > :17:07.was dragged in and police said what followed was

:17:08. > :17:12.So there's been an incident outside the pub, they have obviously

:17:13. > :17:18.And there was no reason for this attack.

:17:19. > :17:20.And I believe that because of the numbers involved,

:17:21. > :17:25.people have just jumped on the back of it, and this has turned into this

:17:26. > :17:27.violent brawl, where somebody has been viciously beaten and is very

:17:28. > :17:43.This is where the attack ended, leaving Reker Ahmed bleeding in

:17:44. > :17:46.Police said that neighbours did come and help.

:17:47. > :17:48.Of his pursuers, they said some did not strike any

:17:49. > :17:52.blows but equally they did nothing to stop it happening.

:19:54. > :19:58.finding someone alive is incredibly slim. You mentioned the rescue

:19:59. > :20:02.effort. Rescuers have been working with people here in Mocoa, sometimes

:20:03. > :20:06.with their bare hands, wading through the torrents to try and find

:20:07. > :20:12.everyone left alive. There are still 100 people who are unaccounted for.

:20:13. > :20:17.Meanwhile, the process of trying to identify those who have been found

:20:18. > :20:22.has started. As we were coming into the town, there was a huge queue

:20:23. > :20:27.outside the cemetery, almost a mile long, as they wait to go in and

:20:28. > :20:31.perhaps look for someone that they have lost. The first of the funerals

:20:32. > :20:35.has also happened, just within the last few moments. There was a

:20:36. > :20:39.funeral procession around the square, very silent procession that

:20:40. > :20:45.went with their heads bowed. A single flower in each hand. This, as
