Tonight at Ten: Strong condemnation from Russia of the US bombing | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
59 missiles were fired by the US at the airbase - | :00:08. | :00:15. | |
said to be the launch pad for a deadly chemical | :00:16. | :00:17. | |
The targets - aircraft, ammunition bunkers, | :00:18. | :00:23. | |
and air defence systems - all owned and controlled | :00:24. | :00:25. | |
Tonight, I call on all civilised nations to join us in seeking | :00:26. | :00:32. | |
to end the slaughter and bloodshed in Syria. | :00:33. | :00:40. | |

Russia, an ally of Syria, has condemned a missile strike | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
authorised by President Trump on a Syrian government target. | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
59 Tomahawk cruise missiles were fired from US warships | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
in the Mediterranean at the Shayrat airbase. | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
It was from there, according to Mr Trump, that this week's deadly | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
chemical weapons attack in northern Syria was launched. | :02:15. | :02:16. | |
In a moment, we'll get the latest on Russia's response - | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
and how the strike could affect the long war in Syria. | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
But first, here's our North America editor Jon Sopel. | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
And a warning, his report does contain some distressing images. | :02:26. | :02:34. | |
It was after dark on the east coast of America and before the sun had | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
risen in the Middle East, when the commander-in-chief gave | :02:38. | :02:39. | |
From two US warships in the eastern Mediterranean, | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
a volley of cruise missiles was fired, targeting a single | :02:45. | :02:46. | |
military airbase outside Homs that had been used, | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
say the Americans, by the Syrian Air Force to launch | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
the deadly chemical weapons attack on Idlib earlier in the week. | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
It was in this vital national security interest | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
of the United States to prevent and deter the spread and use | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
There could be no dispute that Syria used banned chemical weapons, | :03:08. | :03:17. | |
violated its obligations under the chemical weapons convention, | :03:18. | :03:24. | |
and ignored the urging of the UN Security Council. | :03:25. | :03:32. | |
The grotesque after effects of the attack - | :03:33. | :03:34. | |
the US believe the nerve agent sarin was used - horrified the world, | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
and, more importantly, horrified this president. | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
A line had been crossed, and unlike his predecessor, | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
Assad choked out the lives of helpless men, women and children. | :03:46. | :03:53. | |
It was a slow and brutal death for so many. | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
Even beautiful babies were cruelly murdered in this | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
No child of God should ever suffer such horror. | :04:06. | :04:16. | |
What is truly astonishing, dizzying even, is the speed | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
with which this administration has changed its policy towards Syria | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
At the beginning of the week, President Trump saw Bashar al-Assad | :04:23. | :04:28. | |
as a useful ally in the fight against so-called Islamic State. | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
But the chemical weapons attack changed everything, | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
and within two days, targets had been | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
Here's what we know about the attack. | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
59 Tomahawk cruise missiles were launched from the two | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
The Shayrat airbase is some 20 from Homs, deep in Syrian | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
Targets included aircraft, their shelters, fuel depots, | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
But because Russian forces are also deployed at the base, | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
Russia was informed of the attack in advance. | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
The aftermath shows damage and debris at the base, | :05:12. | :05:13. | |
The Pentagon says it didn't particularly target the runways, | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
The aim was to destroy the infrastructure that allows | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
the base to function, and the attack has brought | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
Mr President was authorised to conduct the strike. | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
He's not asking for a declaration of war. | :05:31. | :05:32. | |
He's not committing ground troops over an extended period of time. | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
He was dealing with exigent circumstances. | :05:36. | :05:36. | |
As the commander-in-chief not only does he have the right, | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
Hillary Clinton has also backed the President's action, | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
We cannot in one breath speak of protecting Syrian babies | :05:44. | :05:50. | |
and in the next close America's doors to them. | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
The president and his team at the makeshift situation room | :05:57. | :05:58. | |
at Mar-a-Lago, as they await news of the strike. | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
Donald Trump, who didn't want to get embroiled | :06:03. | :06:04. | |
in foreign conflicts, has just ordered US | :06:05. | :06:06. | |
And as he ended his address to the nation last night, | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
he no longer sounded like the America first isolationist. | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
Good night and God bless America and the entire world. | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
The president, not yet 100 days in, has travelled a long | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
Jon Sopel, BBC News, Palm Beach, Florida. | :06:26. | :06:34. | |
Russia - as a supporter of President Assad - | :06:35. | :06:36. | |
has accused the United States of violating international law. | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
It said that President Trump's actions encouraged terrorists | :06:41. | :06:42. | |
in the region, including the Islamic State group in Syria. | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
Our Moscow correspondent Steve Rosenberg has the latest | :06:46. | :06:47. | |
Until recently, the Russian media have been singing | :06:48. | :06:55. | |
Today, state TV accused him of an unprovoked show of force | :06:56. | :07:04. | |
with the missile strike he'd ordered on a Syrian air base. | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
Less than half of the missiles fired, Moscow claimed, | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
Still, Russia condemned the attack as a gross, | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
groundless violation of the international rule book. | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
It's definitely an aggressive act against international law, | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
against a sovereign country, and without any true | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
evidence of the Assad regime using chemical weapons. | :07:28. | :07:34. | |
It's Russian military power that's been keeping | :07:35. | :07:36. | |
Russia's air force and navy helping Syria's leader turn the tide | :07:37. | :07:45. | |
of the country's civil war, and boosting Moscow's | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
Today, the Kremlin accused Washington of inventing a pretext | :07:50. | :07:55. | |
Those American Tomahawks may have been targeting the Syrian military, | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
but judging by what the Kremlin has been saying, it's US-Russian | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
relations that will take a real battering now as a result | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
The Russians had been hoping that with Donald Trump | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
in the White House, relations with America would improve. | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
But so far, there's been no sign of that. | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
Later, the two countries clashed at the UN Security Council. | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
It could be that Russia is knowingly allowing chemical | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
It could be that Russia has been incompetent in its efforts to remove | :08:27. | :08:35. | |
Or it could be that the Assad regime is playing the Russians for fools. | :08:36. | :08:45. | |
I would ask America not to insult my country, said Russia's | :08:46. | :08:47. | |
Today, Moscow suspended a deal designed to prevent incidents | :08:48. | :08:54. | |
between US and Russian warplanes over Syria. | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
Which means that we have two big military powers in the area | :08:58. | :09:04. | |
operating without any contact and any coordination, | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
The Russians are hoping that this US strike was a one-off, but tonight, | :09:11. | :09:18. | |
they are strengthening air defence systems across Syria, just in case. | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
Until this week's chemical attack in northern Syria, | :09:23. | :09:34. | |
President Trump had appeared set against any intervention against | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
Our Middle East editor Jeremy Bowen reports now on the implications | :09:38. | :09:44. | |
of the US strike for the six-year Syrian war. | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
This man buried his brother, a victim of the war crime in Khan | :09:50. | :09:57. | |
Sheikhoun that pushed the Americans into action. He is hoping the | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
Americans have a strategy to end the suffering of his family and friends. | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
He wants the Americans to remove the regime of President Bashar al-Assad. | :10:05. | :10:11. | |
TRANSLATION: What happened in Shayrat last night, the air strikes, | :10:12. | :10:14. | |
was a very simple response to what Bashar al-Assad has done to the | :10:15. | :10:20. | |
Syrian people. We want the children to go to school. We don't want | :10:21. | :10:26. | |
Bashar The Syrian regime denies it has ever used chemical weapons. I | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
think President Trump himself knows that Syria did not use any chemical | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
weapons and does not have any chemical weapons, as it had given | :10:35. | :10:40. | |
all its stockpiles to the International organisation | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
responsible for that. The Americans say they have clear proof that the | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
Syrian Armed Forces carried out war crimes by using nerve gas against | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
Syrians. They are absolutely certain of that, that's why they carried out | :10:54. | :10:59. | |
this rate. 14 years after the invasion of Iraq, we see Iraq has | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
been destroyed. Syria is the second secular state after Iraq, that is | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
being targeted by them simply because it's secular and it has an | :11:09. | :11:15. | |
army and it's the Israeli occupation of Palestine. Residents in Khan | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
Sheikhoun seems to have no doubts that the regime used chemical | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
weapons. This war has driven home a lesson. Civilian lives come a poor | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
second to the interests of the long list of powers who are in the fight. | :11:29. | :11:35. | |
A major reason why the Syrian war is so hard to stop is that so many | :11:36. | :11:38. | |
countries are involved. With different interests and objectives. | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
President Assad's main allies are Russia and Iran, the biggest Shia | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
Muslim country. These days the rebels, still fighting the regime, | :11:49. | :11:56. | |
are mainly Sunni Muslim Islamists. Some are approved by the West, some | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
are jihadists. Rebels sometimes fight each other. There's also the | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
War against so-called Islamic State, led by the US and its allies. Think | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
of it all as layers of conflict. Sometimes they are parallel and | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
sometimes they intersect, and now, Donald Trump has added a whole new | :12:15. | :12:22. | |
lair. And the President's response to the killing in Khan Sheikhoun has | :12:23. | :12:25. | |
delighted the Syrian opposition in exile. He has now connected, | :12:26. | :12:32. | |
finally, connected the fight against terrorism with the need for a | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
political transition in Syria, where Assad has obviously no role to play. | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
It's not clear yet whether what happened here at Khan Sheikhoun will | :12:42. | :12:47. | |
change the course of the war. That depends on whether the Americans | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
have a new long-term strategy. Force equals influence in Syria and | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
American threats will now be taken more seriously. But more foreign | :12:56. | :12:58. | |
intervention, no matter who does it, will not magically deliver peace. | :12:59. | :13:01. | |
Jeremy Bowen, BBC News. In a moment we can speak | :13:02. | :13:07. | |
to Jon Sopel, who's But first, Ben Wright | :13:08. | :13:09. | |
is in Downing Street. What has the reaction been. Britain | :13:10. | :13:24. | |
was a supporting by stander. The Government was told before the the | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
United States was going to do this. But the UK was not asked to take | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
part. Ministers are pleased that President Trump has acted. The | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
Defence Secretary said it was an entirely appropriate response and he | :13:38. | :13:44. | |
thinks will deter president Assad from using chemical weapons in the | :13:45. | :13:49. | |
future. That was echoed by Liberal Democrats and many senior Labour | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
Party figure. But not Jeremy Corbyn. He thinks the missile strike could | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
only escalate the conflict in Syria. He is opposed to it and called for | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
further peace talks. Nobody in Westminster thinks there is a simple | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
solution. But one question is whether, if the US action escalates | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
and becomes more widespread, is there a chance the UK may be | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
involved in the future. The Government have been clear, that can | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
only happen if Parliament gives approval and you remember in 2013 | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
the Government tried to get support for air strikes against Syria and | :14:24. | :14:28. | |
suffered a bruising defeat and they're only going do that if | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
they're sure they can get support. My hunch that is not on the agenda | :14:34. | :14:37. | |
and President Trump seems perfectly keen to do this on his own. Ben, | :14:38. | :14:47. | |
thank you. Jon Sopel in flor fla, is this a -- Florida is this a one off | :14:48. | :14:53. | |
strike. Well I think President Trump would love it to be seen as a simple | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
one-off attack on Bashar al-Assad. And as a message to him that, look, | :14:59. | :15:04. | |
if you drop chemical weapons, then America will act. But it is | :15:05. | :15:10. | |
complicated. There are already reports coming suggesting that | :15:11. | :15:13. | |
Syrian aircraft have taken off from the air base that was cratered over | :15:14. | :15:23. | |
night by the 59 Tomahawk missiles. If that is true, what then. And what | :15:24. | :15:30. | |
are the objective of the the exercise. Is it the overthrough of | :15:31. | :15:36. | |
Bashar al-Assad. The Secretary of state announced there would be | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
function tightening of sanctions against Syria. Although it is hard | :15:41. | :15:46. | |
to see much trade is going on at the moment. The Secretary of State is on | :15:47. | :15:53. | |
his way to Moscow for talks his counter part on Sunderland. | :15:54. | :15:56. | |
Relations will be very difficult. But then this the wider question of | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
Donald Trump and the rest of the world and I heard it best praised by | :16:01. | :16:09. | |
a Republican Senator or who said there is a new Sheriff showing who | :16:10. | :16:13. | |
is the boss and the world has better sit up and take notice. It probably | :16:14. | :16:15. | |
is. Thank you. A lorry has been driven into a crowd | :16:16. | :16:20. | |
of pedestrians in Stockholm, killing four people and injuring 15, | :16:21. | :16:23. | |
nine of them seriously. The Swedish Prime Minister said | :16:24. | :16:26. | |
everything suggested The incident happened | :16:27. | :16:27. | |
mid-afternoon on a busy pedestrian shopping street, | :16:28. | :16:31. | |
with the truck eventually crashing Tonight, police arrested a man | :16:32. | :16:32. | |
who they say resembles images they released on CCTV | :16:33. | :16:40. | |
after the attack. Our correspondent Dan Johnson has | :16:41. | :16:43. | |
just sent this report Panic and confusion on the streets | :16:44. | :16:56. | |
of another European capital. People are scared. Something's happen bg. | :16:57. | :17:03. | |
People running in terror as a truck races to shoppers in Stockholm. And | :17:04. | :17:06. | |
this is where it ended up - in flames after crashing into a | :17:07. | :17:12. | |
department store. TRANSLATION: I saw exactly where the lorry went in just | :17:13. | :17:16. | |
there. There wasn't much of a reaction, then the police arrived. | :17:17. | :17:19. | |
The police just said, you have to run. You could actually see bodies | :17:20. | :17:24. | |
lying on the street and I cold see the police covering the body with a | :17:25. | :17:30. | |
blanket and there were lots of police and people around filming. | :17:31. | :17:40. | |
The truck belongs to a brewery company whose owner said a man | :17:41. | :17:47. | |
hijacked it. A blunt weapon with a blow that has hit Sweden hard. There | :17:48. | :17:52. | |
was a lady laying with a severed foot. There were bodies on the | :17:53. | :17:56. | |
ground. And the sense of panic. People standing by their loved ones, | :17:57. | :18:03. | |
but people running away. So many questions - first, who was involved | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
and why? Police quickly released images of a man they wanted to | :18:08. | :18:10. | |
question and within hours they had made an arrest. TRANSLATION: Earlier | :18:11. | :18:17. | |
we released a picture of a person of interest to the investigation. A | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
short while ago we apprehended a person that matches that | :18:22. | :18:27. | |
description. Sweden's Prime Minister said his country wouldn't give in to | :18:28. | :18:35. | |
terror. Thoughts, concerns and condolences have reached many of us | :18:36. | :18:39. | |
from all around the world. And we are grateful for the many warm | :18:40. | :18:47. | |
expressions of sharing our grief. We are determined never to let the | :18:48. | :18:57. | |
values that we treasure - democrat circumstances cy and human rights to | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
be undermined. Now some normality is returning. The metro has re-opened | :19:02. | :19:08. | |
and people are returning. There is an uneasy feel here. It has shaken | :19:09. | :19:11. | |
people. The police have visible in number and there are already extra | :19:12. | :19:18. | |
checks at Sweden's borders. Already some are saying it is a wake up call | :19:19. | :19:23. | |
for the Security Services. Sweden has a proud history as an open | :19:24. | :19:30. | |
society. But now it is the latest corner of Europe forced to confront | :19:31. | :19:36. | |
death so shocking. The issue for the Security Services is how you can | :19:37. | :19:40. | |
prevent these attacks from happening again? Yes, that's a big challenge. | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
There is a strange atmosphere on the the streets of this city, the | :19:46. | :19:51. | |
Swedish people are considering quietly what happened today and what | :19:52. | :19:56. | |
it may mean. It raises some possibly difficult questions. Sweden's Prime | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
Minister was confident he said it has the hall marks of a terror | :20:01. | :20:06. | |
attacks. But we know nothing about who was behind it. The police are | :20:07. | :20:11. | |
questioning one plan and are searching for another. Now, there is | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
a challenge for the Security Services here and across all cities | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
really as to how to keep people safe when they walk through a city like | :20:20. | :20:23. | |
this if someone is prepared to kill with an object as every day as a | :20:24. | :20:26. | |
delivery truck. Thank you. A Romanian tourist who was knocked | :20:27. | :20:32. | |

to their "irreplaceable" daughter, Our Home Affairs Correspondent | :20:45. | :20:46. | |
Tom Symonds reports. There had been a hope that | :20:47. | :20:53. | |
Andreea Cristea would make it. She was young, she had | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
been on holiday, about to receive | :20:58. | :20:59. | |
a marriage proposal. Doctors at St Bartholomew's | :21:00. | :21:01. | |
said she had been in a critical condition | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
since the attack. Yesterday, they decided | :21:06. | :21:08. | |
to withdraw life support. We are saddened by the death | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
of Miss Andreea Cristea She had been receiving care | :21:14. | :21:15. | |
here since the Westminster terror attack, having been initially | :21:16. | :21:22. | |
treated at the Royal London Hospital and our thoughts are with her | :21:23. | :21:24. | |
friends and family at this I would like to pay tribute | :21:25. | :21:27. | |
to all the staff, who showed great care and compassion | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
in looking after her. Her family praised | :21:32. | :21:35. | |
the kindness and empathy shown by medical | :21:36. | :21:36. | |
staff and the police. Khalid Masood can't have cared | :21:37. | :22:06. | |
who he targeted that day. Using a blunt weapon - a hire car - | :22:07. | :22:09. | |
he mowed down his victims, somehow sending Andreea over the railing | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
of the bridge and into the river. Leslie Rhodes, Asha Frade, Kurt | :22:14. | :22:19. | |
Cochran and PC Keith Palmer also The inquest into their deaths | :22:20. | :22:22. | |
has been adjourned, but it will consider what happened | :22:23. | :22:29. | |
in precise detail that day. The benefit the coroner | :22:30. | :22:33. | |
has is the sheer number It is thought 1,500 people may | :22:34. | :22:36. | |
have seen what happened. Last week, Andrei Burnaz laid | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
a single flower in memory of the woman he had hoped | :22:42. | :22:44. | |
would be his wife. Today, for all the victims, | :22:45. | :22:50. | |

professional cricket, has been sent to prison after it | :23:02. | :23:03. | |
emerged that he was lying. Mustafa Bashir will now serve 18 | :23:04. | :23:08. | |
months for assaulting his wife with a cricket bat and forcing her | :23:09. | :23:10. | |
to drink bleach. Mustafa Bashir played | :23:11. | :23:13. | |
lower league cricket, but he posed as a promising talent | :23:14. | :23:16. | |
about to sign professional papers. He thought it would prevent him | :23:17. | :23:22. | |
going to prison, after Last month, he told | :23:23. | :23:24. | |
the court that if he was jailed, he'd lose a contract with | :23:25. | :23:30. | |
Leicestershire County Cricket Club. In fact, he had only ever played | :23:31. | :23:33. | |
a couple of open net sessions there. The club called his claims | :23:34. | :23:39. | |
an invention and told the court. Today, Mustafa Bashir | :23:40. | :23:41. | |
was sent straight to jail, the judge saying he'd been | :23:42. | :23:43. | |
fundamentally misled. If you are in a position | :23:44. | :23:49. | |
where you have to give evidence in court, it's very | :23:50. | :23:51. | |
important that you tell the truth, as Mr Bashir found out | :23:52. | :23:54. | |
today to his cost. The judge also addressed criticism | :23:55. | :23:58. | |
he'd faced for saying He said: | :23:59. | :24:01. | |
was not particularly vulnerable. This evening, I spoke | :24:02. | :24:22. | |
to Mustafa Bashir's ex-wife, who has She told me she had been | :24:23. | :24:24. | |
upset by the originally court hearing, but said | :24:25. | :24:31. | |
that she was pleased to hear the judge's comments | :24:32. | :24:33. | |
and decision today. She said, "I feel | :24:34. | :24:36. | |
relaxed, I feel strong. Tonight, Mustafa Bashir is spending | :24:37. | :24:38. | |

one part cruelty. These manicured lawns can | :25:43. | :25:46. | |
become a wilderness. England's Lee Westwood had | :25:47. | :25:48. | |
been in contention, but on these treacherous | :25:49. | :25:51. | |
greens and fairways, Danny Willett, his countryman and | :25:52. | :25:52. | |
