after a van ploughs into crowds at one of Barcelona's most | :00:10. | :00:11. | |
The white van drove for more than half a mile, hitting shoppers | :00:12. | :00:17. | |
and holiday-makers in the busy market area, Las Ramblas. | :00:18. | :00:29. | |
Panic on the streets as people flee from the streets, | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
running into nearby shops to take shelter. | :00:33. | :00:34. | |
I saw a white van, with the side door open. | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
Whether it was the police or from the van, I don't know. | :00:39. | :00:46. | |
I saw people falling on the pavement. | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
And then I was doubting what to do, to run towards, | :00:50. | :00:55. | |
Armed police combed the streets for a man seen running from the van. | :00:56. | :01:02. | |
Tonight they've arrested two suspects. | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
This is the man police say is suspected of renting the van used | :01:06. | :01:08. | |

13 people have been killed in Barcelona and more | :02:11. | :02:17. | |
than 100 have been injured, after a van was driven | :02:18. | :02:19. | |
into the crowds at one of the city's most popular tourist sites. | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
So-called Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the attack. | :02:25. | :02:38. | |
Thousands of people - holiday-makers, | :02:39. | :02:39. | |
were on the packed street in Barcelona when the attack | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
The white van was driven at speed along the famous pedestrianised | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
The driver turned into the crowds at this point here and drove | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
the rented van for around half a mile through them - | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
killing and wounding dozens of people as he went. | :02:54. | :02:55. | |
Our correspondent, Gavin Lee, is in Las Ramblas for us now. | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
Tonight the police have completely cordoned off and put on lock down | :03:00. | :03:12. | |
Las Ramblas. The most popular promenade in Spain. They are saying | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
13 people have been killed, more than 100 injured and 50 in critical | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
condition. Tonight people have been told to hide. They are hiding in a | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
museum nearby because the search is on for more men who are said to be | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
behind this terrorist attack. Here is how the events unfolded tonight. | :03:33. | :03:34. | |
Tonight. Terror on the streets of Europe, again. Again. And again a | :03:35. | :03:42. | |
vehicle used as a weapon. Come on, come on, just go. Las | :03:43. | :03:55. | |
Ramblas in Barcelona, a packed sunny evening on Spain yes, sir most | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
famous boulevard, in panic. On Spain's most famous boulevard, in | :04:01. | :04:08. | |
panic. This white van mounted the pavement and ploughed into | :04:09. | :04:16. | |
pedestrians. Bodies were left lying on the street. Those who were | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
nearby, rushed to help the injured. Emergency services arrived quickly. | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
And the hunt for those responsible began. The city's Metro and train | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
stations were closed down. The nearby streets quickly deserted, as | :04:32. | :04:38. | |
people were told to stay inside. I saw a white van with the side door | :04:39. | :04:45. | |
open. We heard gunshots. Whether it was the police or from the van, I | :04:46. | :04:52. | |
don't know. I didn't hang around for that. We ran into the Burger King to | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
get shelter. REPORTER: What was going through your mind when it was | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
going on? Are we going to survive? We were just scared they were going | :05:04. | :05:10. | |
to get in there. They pulled all the shutters down. Just kept us safe and | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
that was it. It. I saw people falling to the ground and that | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
struck my eyes, rather than the car. I immediately sensed it was a | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
Nice-like event. And people around it ran away, fled away in panic. | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
Authorities say the vehicle was driven half a kilometre down Las | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
Ramblas boulevard, reportedly at up to 80 kilometres an hour. Police | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
have released a photo of this man, Driss Oubakir, said to have rented | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
the van. He is understood to have been known to police, a former | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
prisoner, released five years ago. Police say two people have been | :05:45. | :05:46. | |
arrested tonight but investigators are still working to get to the | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
bottom of how this happened and who was behind it. Right now, people are | :05:51. | :05:58. | |
being told to stay well away from the city. But this attack has | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
happened in the middle of summer. There are locals, tourists, | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
thousands of people here, unsure of where to go and whether it is safe | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
and whether there are more people out there, planning another attack. | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
You cannot be sure to go anywhere else, anything can happen. Wherever | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
we go, we will still be exposed to something. Tonight, as people start | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
to comprehend the brutality of what's happened, they are being told | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
to stay awane indoors, as police try -- away and indoors I as police try | :06:27. | :06:34. | |
to co-ordinate who carried out the attack and if any threat remains. | :06:35. | :06:36. | |
Well, today's attack using a vehicle to mow down pedestrians is one | :06:37. | :06:38. | |
of at least seven to have been carried out in Europe | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
And, as ever, the problem for the authorities is that such | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
attacks are extremely difficult to prevent. | :06:46. | :06:46. | |
Our security correspondent, Gordon Corera, has been | :06:47. | :06:48. | |
looking at what more - if anything - can be done. | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
Barcelona is just the late nest a series of vehicle attacks, leaving a | :06:52. | :07:00. | |
terrible but almost familiar scene on the streets of Europe. The first | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
major Ince detective dent was in Nice when a lorry ploughed into a | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
crowd just over a year ago. It was a target and moment to maximise the | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
casualties and impact. Then a alreadiy attack on auto Christmas | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
market in Berlin -- then a lorry attack and a van driven into the | :07:21. | :07:27. | |
city centre in Stockholm. Britain has not immune. In March, a man | :07:28. | :07:36. | |
ploughed into a Westminster Bridge. Three men drove down London Bridge | :07:37. | :07:44. | |
in June before attacking people with knives and feignsbury park mosque, | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
people were struck by a car. Stopping these attacks is hard. Here | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
at Westminster Bridge they have stopped the barriers to stop | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
vehicles ramming into pedestrians on the bridge but an attacker could | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
just pick a different crowded place. The authorities are also looking at | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
more checks on people making short-notice rentals of vans but the | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
problem is, these attacks require just every day items, just a car, no | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
guns or explosives and with so little planning required, it can be | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
hard to spot them, and stop them. New shock absorbing barriers, like | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
this one, shown in a test, may offer some protection but | :08:25. | :08:26. | |
counter-terrorism experts caution they cannot stop all attacks | :08:27. | :08:32. | |
happening. It's an almost impossible thing to prevent completely but you | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
can try to make it a little bit more difficult for terrorists and that, | :08:38. | :08:43. | |
to some extent is all we can do. The way we stop this from happening is | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
by preventing people from becoming radicalised or by people willing to | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
come forward to say - I know someone who might do this. This is how we | :08:52. | :08:59. | |
stop it. This is one of the men police believe it is responsible and | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
tonight Islamic State, so-called said it was responsible. But this | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
does not always mean there was a direct link with the group and one | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
major concern for security forces around the world, is that these kind | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
of attacks can be carried out with little or no training, direction or | :09:17. | :09:18. | |
coordination. Back to Gavin Lee in Barcelona now. | :09:19. | :09:25. | |
Two arrests made and huge parts of the city cordoned off. What is the | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
latest on the police operation there? Some people still being moved | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
back now. We are talking about thousands of people who cannot get | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
back to either their holiday hotels or local lives here. The police are | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
saying this developed after the car that drove half a kilometre, just | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
further down on Las Ramblas. The chase took to the streets, there | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
were two men hiding in bars. This is why at the same time police very | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
quickly at the scene managed to hide, we are thinking, we are told | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
hundreds of people inside the museum and other bars. Both those men were | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
arrested. Another man, a third man was shot dead. 500m from here there | :10:05. | :10:10. | |
was a car chase a man went through three small checkpoints as they | :10:11. | :10:16. | |
tried to stop him. We are also being told that this is an investigation | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
that involves more people. So tonight, five hours into the | :10:21. | :10:22. | |
investigation, this is just starting to start as to how big the plot was | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
and how it was co-ordinated. Thank you for now. Back to you later in | :10:28. | :10:29. | |
the programme. The number of teenagers achieving | :10:30. | :10:29. | |
top A-level grades has increased for the first time in six years | :10:30. | :10:30. | |
in England, Wales Hundreds of thousands of students | :10:31. | :10:31. | |
received their grades today. For the first time in 17 years, | :10:32. | :10:37. | |
boys were ahead of the girls Here's our Education Editor, | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
Branwen Jeffreys. I'm on the way to get my | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
A-level results now. Yeah, I'm starting | :10:47. | :10:49. | |
to feel a bit nervous. I don't know, I guess | :10:50. | :10:52. | |
it's a good thing. It's all going to be | :10:53. | :10:55. | |
over in literally, like, For Sarah, Alex and Georgia, | :10:56. | :10:57. | |
a day of reckoning. Two years of hard work, | :10:58. | :11:07. | |
results riding on one set of exams. So, how do they feel | :11:08. | :11:10. | |
about the new A-levels, where AS exams no longer count | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
in some subjects? I personally found | :11:15. | :11:21. | |
it really stressful. The idea that everything | :11:22. | :11:24. | |
all of a sudden is at the end of two years, is very intimidating, | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
I think, for many of us. It really is, like you have got | :11:28. | :11:30. | |
to remember things from two years ago and you sit there in the exam | :11:31. | :11:33. | |
and you are like - With the old system, | :11:34. | :11:36. | |
if you did badly in your AS results you would have to resit that | :11:37. | :11:46. | |
but at least it gives you a chance to redeem yourself | :11:47. | :11:48. | |
if you have done bad. Despite the stress, exam | :11:49. | :11:51. | |
results have held up. Just a tiny dip in the new A-levels | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
and for boys, the best top grades for decades, | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
getting more A and A* All their hopes and fears | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
compressed into a few hours And in England this year, the stakes | :12:01. | :12:09. | |
have felt particularly high, with students road testing | :12:10. | :12:18. | |
a new system of exams. With more new-style A-levels next | :12:19. | :12:25. | |
year, headteachers say We know where we want to get our | :12:26. | :12:27. | |
students but we haven't had a map, we haven't had directions | :12:28. | :12:36. | |
and when we have had these, they've So we've had to muddle through that | :12:37. | :12:38. | |
and use our experience to get That's an incredibly | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
stressful situation. For those who missed out on grades, | :12:43. | :12:49. | |
places still on offer at Hull Hello, this is the University | :12:50. | :12:52. | |
of Hull clearing centre. Thousands will still get | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
to uni through clearing. Tuition fees now more | :12:57. | :12:58. | |
than ?9,000 a year. No sign yet it's putting | :12:59. | :13:00. | |
young people off. But at the top of universities, | :13:01. | :13:07. | |
they know the debate has shifted. It has opened up and I think the key | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
issue for universities is that the funding that we have | :13:11. | :13:15. | |
for higher education must have the confidence | :13:16. | :13:18. | |
and trust of young people. It's important that young | :13:19. | :13:20. | |
people are not deterred Graduates earn more | :13:21. | :13:22. | |
in their lifetime. What's changed this year | :13:23. | :13:33. | |
is the politics, a big youth vote One of the most famous students | :13:34. | :13:35. | |
who got her results today was the Nobel Peace Prize | :13:36. | :13:52. | |
winner, Malala Yousafzai. Pictured here getting her grades | :13:53. | :13:54. | |
this morning, the 20-year-old has gained a place at Oxford University | :13:55. | :13:57. | |
to study philosophy, Malala was campaigning on girls' | :13:58. | :14:00. | |
rights to education in her native Pakistan in 2012, when she was | :14:01. | :14:06. | |
almost killed by the Taliban. President Trump says American | :14:07. | :14:12. | |
history and culture are being ripped apart by the removal of statues, | :14:13. | :14:15. | |
some of which commemorate those The violence in Virginia last | :14:16. | :14:17. | |
weekend was sparked when far right nationalists protested | :14:18. | :14:23. | |
against proposals to remove symbols celebrating those | :14:24. | :14:26. | |
who fought to defend slavery The clashes left one woman dead | :14:27. | :14:28. | |
and many more injured. Our North America Editor, Jon Sopel, | :14:29. | :14:36. | |
reports from Leesburg in Virginia. Does this statute represent | :14:37. | :14:38. | |
heritage or hate? Last night, this monument | :14:39. | :14:44. | |
to a Confederate soldier - the Army from the south | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
in the US Civil War that fought to maintain slavery | :14:50. | :14:51. | |
- was vandalised. Today, as we filmed in Leesburg, | :14:52. | :14:54. | |
Virginia, the local authorities decided it was time to install | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
closed-circuit TV to keep a watchful And this famous landmark of this | :14:59. | :15:01. | |
pretty town was dividing opinion, Do you believe the statue | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
should come down? It's not good history, | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
but it's a reminder of what not You know, that they have | :15:11. | :15:16. | |
to nit-pick stuff like this. It's a representation of past | :15:17. | :15:25. | |
actions that have shackled and chained people both | :15:26. | :15:32. | |
mentally and physically. But it's not only this Vietnam vet | :15:33. | :15:35. | |
saluting these monuments. Today, Donald Trump entered | :15:36. | :15:38. | |
the fray, tweeting... "Sad to see the history and culture | :15:39. | :15:41. | |
of our great country being ripped apart with the removal | :15:42. | :15:44. | |
of our beautiful You can't change history, | :15:45. | :15:46. | |
but you can learn from it. It was plans to dismantle the statue | :15:47. | :15:52. | |
of General Lee that sparked these hate-drenched scenes | :15:53. | :16:05. | |
in Charlottesville at the weekend No doubt these people will be | :16:06. | :16:07. | |

those people who believe these statues are symbols of America's | :16:15. | :16:20. | |
dark past are taking matters There are statues like this | :16:21. | :16:22. | |
all across the southern Yes, they represent | :16:23. | :16:31. | |
history and heritage. They are also about the toxic state | :16:32. | :16:34. | |
of race relations in America today, and the continuing search | :16:35. | :16:42. | |
of African-Americans to find An old soldier who now seems | :16:43. | :16:44. | |

Leesburg, Virginia. A jury at the Old Bailey has heard | :16:56. | :17:03. | |
that a cyclist who's accused of killing a mother of two | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
when he crashed into her, was riding Charlie Alliston hit 44-year-old | :17:08. | :17:10. | |

and another charge. Kim Briggs was killed when crossing | :17:16. | :17:23. | |
the road in her lunch break. She was knocked down | :17:24. | :17:30. | |
by a man on his bicycle. In what's thought to be | :17:31. | :17:32. | |
a legal first, the cyclist, Charlie Alliston, is | :17:33. | :17:35. | |
charged with manslaughter. Moments before the crash, | :17:36. | :17:38. | |
he was travelling at In the final metres, | :17:39. | :17:40. | |
he slowed to between ten Charlie Alliston told the court | :17:41. | :17:44. | |
he shouted out to Kim Briggs to warn her before he reached this | :17:45. | :17:50. | |
yellow crisscross area on the road. A few metres later, | :17:51. | :17:54. | |
he shouted again. He then said he swerved to the left | :17:55. | :17:56. | |
to try and pass her on the inside. Kim Briggs was already | :17:57. | :18:00. | |
out in the road. He told the court that | :18:01. | :18:02. | |
at the last moment, she stepped Illegal on the road, | :18:03. | :18:05. | |
and according to the prosecution, But in court today, | :18:06. | :18:17. | |
Mr Alliston claimed he couldn't have avoided Mrs Briggs, | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
even with a front brake. Comments written by Charlie Alliston | :18:22. | :18:26. | |
online in the hours and days following the crash have been read | :18:27. | :18:29. | |
out in court. On the evening of | :18:30. | :18:31. | |
the crash he wrote... Today, in court, Charlie Alliston | :18:32. | :18:39. | |
said all of the comments which he wrote online in the hours | :18:40. | :18:42. | |
and days after the crash were stupid The charge of manslaughter | :18:43. | :18:45. | |
is unusual in the case of a cyclist. Mr Alliston denies that charge | :18:46. | :18:52. | |

charge sheet reads that His punishment is | :19:51. | :19:57. | |
children's entertainment. Growing up in conflict, destruction | :19:58. | :20:05. | |
and violence become routine. Mosul and elsewhere became | :20:06. | :20:13. | |
fertile recruitment ground IS didn't just concentrate its | :20:14. | :20:16. | |
attentions here on the battlefield. It also moved into homes | :20:17. | :20:26. | |
and into classrooms and there they filled young minds full | :20:27. | :20:28. | |
of tales of jihad, of suicide So even though the fighting has | :20:29. | :20:31. | |
stopped, they've left behind a toxic legacy, | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
a new generation of hate and that And the songs from their propaganda | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
videos soon made their way into This boy can't forget the songs, and | :20:41. | :20:48. | |
he can't forget IS. He says their education | :20:49. | :21:08. | |
was about jihad and how to blow yourself up, and teaching them how | :21:09. | :21:12. | |
to use weapons and how He says, "Yes, they were scary, | :21:13. | :21:14. | |
they cut off heads. We'd get 15 lashes for | :21:15. | :21:22. | |
a haircut like this." Recruitment started | :21:23. | :21:25. | |
here in the classroom. TRANSLATION: Children | :21:26. | :21:28. | |
are fertile ground. Schools and curriculums | :21:29. | :21:36. | |
are the way to train the students and brainwash them, | :21:37. | :21:38. | |
until they're ready to join military When IS arrived, they destroyed | :21:39. | :21:41. | |
the existing curriculum In words and pictures they make war | :21:42. | :21:50. | |
and destruction commonplace. Kids learn to read the clock | :21:51. | :21:59. | |
by looking at timebombs. In Arabic, the differences | :22:00. | :22:03. | |
between big and small, long and short, are shown | :22:04. | :22:06. | |
with bazookas, bullets and rockets and gym class ends with lessons, | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
a guide to stripping Other armed groups have used | :22:11. | :22:13. | |
children to fight before. It's a war crime but IS turned it | :22:14. | :22:20. | |
into an efficient process. He faught with rebels | :22:21. | :22:27. | |
in Syria and then IS. It's been a shattering experience | :22:28. | :22:34. | |
for him and his family. TRANSLATION: When I came back | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
someone said to me, "You are a loser and if I were you I wouldn't have | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
done what you have done, I just keep thinking | :22:43. | :22:45. | |
of that word "loser." The Islamic State was formed | :22:46. | :22:53. | |
in a torment and it has destroyed It has ruined lives, | :22:54. | :22:56. | |
warped and stalled the future Repairing that damage will be | :22:57. | :23:08. | |
an even greater task than rebuilding The education watchdog Ofsted has | :23:09. | :23:12. | |
published a damning report into one of the UK's largest adult training | :23:13. | :23:17. | |
and apprenticeship providers - Ofsted rated the company - | :23:18. | :23:21. | |
which has received hundreds of millions of pounds of public | :23:22. | :23:24. | |
money - as inadequate. That's the worst rating | :23:25. | :23:29. | |
the watchdog can give. The Department for Education has | :23:30. | :23:31. | |
said it will withdraw Cricket now - and there | :23:32. | :23:34. | |
were centuries for both Alastair Cook and Joe Root | :23:35. | :23:40. | |
as England began the first day-night Test with the West | :23:41. | :23:43. | |
Indies at Edgbaston. And all eyes were on the pink ball, | :23:44. | :23:46. | |
which is being used for the first time in a Test match | :23:47. | :23:50. | |
in this country. Our sports correspondent | :23:51. | :23:53. | |
Joe Wilson reports. If you came to Birmingham this week, | :23:54. | :24:00. | |
you knew about the cricket. Arrive in the sun, | :24:01. | :24:03. | |
to leave after dark. You're in lovely green | :24:04. | :24:12. | |
shorts, you've got short Is there another couple | :24:13. | :24:14. | |
of layers in there? Some waterproofs and layers along | :24:15. | :24:18. | |
with the provisions, yeah. Mark Stoneman, on debut, | :24:19. | :24:21. | |
lasted six balls. Tom Westley also fell quickly, | :24:22. | :24:24. | |
LBW, given after review. But Alastair Cook was seeing this | :24:25. | :24:33. | |
ball as clearly as ever. Remember, entertainment is the point | :24:34. | :24:36. | |
of this whole exercise. Well, the ball could be red, | :24:37. | :24:45. | |
pink, or polka dot. That had four written all over it | :24:46. | :24:48. | |
and Root, the captain, The 100 for Alastair Cook came | :24:49. | :24:52. | |
shortly before 7:30pm and it all seemed a bit easy, | :24:53. | :25:00. | |
but Joe Root fell for 136, and did Remember, the whole point | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
about the new pink ball is that it can be used after dark, | :25:06. | :25:11. | |
and finally, at about 8:30pm, the floodlight | :25:12. | :25:14. | |
was coming into its own. A shiny pink ball under lights | :25:15. | :25:19. | |
is what batsmen had feared. See you in the morning - | :25:20. | :25:22. | |
or rather, the afternoon. Pupils at a school in West London, | :25:23. | :25:32. | |
which sits in the shadow of Grenfell Tower, were among those | :25:33. | :25:39. | |
who received their Many of them lived in | :25:40. | :25:41. | |
or around the tower block. Four students and one former | :25:42. | :25:44. | |
pupil died in the fire. Others lost their homes | :25:45. | :25:47. | |
as they were preparing The head teacher of the Kensington | :25:48. | :25:50. | |
Aldridge Academy has been telling our education correspondent, | :25:51. | :25:54. | |
Gillian Hargreaves, how proud Their school lies at the foot | :25:55. | :25:56. | |
of the burned out tower. They haven't been able to use | :25:57. | :26:04. | |
it for three months. This is the first time | :26:05. | :26:07. | |
the headteacher has spoken It was very, very difficult | :26:08. | :26:14. | |
and very, very challenging. There was the emotion | :26:15. | :26:20. | |
of the situation and the deep concern that we had for the members | :26:21. | :26:22. | |
of our school community, but there was also a whole load | :26:23. | :26:25. | |
of practical challenges in place. You know, children have one chance | :26:26. | :26:29. | |
in life at an education. Today, at least, there were results | :26:30. | :26:33. | |
to celebrate at their temporary I think that the fact that we can | :26:34. | :26:40. | |
walk in here and get our results and have smiles on our faces, | :26:41. | :26:48. | |
I think it's part of remembering, and it's part of celebrating | :26:49. | :26:51. | |
the people who lived in Grenfell. Our strength brings strength | :26:52. | :26:56. | |
to the community, and strength in the community I think | :26:57. | :27:02. | |
is everything we can hope for. We're sticking together, | :27:03. | :27:06. | |
rather than getting angry. We're still trying to, | :27:07. | :27:08. | |
like, obviously move on, but we will never move | :27:09. | :27:15. | |
on from what happened. And although we don't | :27:16. | :27:17. | |
want to mention it, we'll Although barely touched by the fire, | :27:18. | :27:19. | |
the school remains shut until next Easter, as it's | :27:20. | :27:24. | |
within the police cordon. To lose five pupils, | :27:25. | :27:28. | |
four all at once, two in one year group, that is immense | :27:29. | :27:34. | |
for a school to endure. I'm incredibly proud of my staff | :27:35. | :27:37. | |
and what they've done. What I saw after Grenfell | :27:38. | :27:50. | |
was incredible, because, you know, they had the bravery and the courage | :27:51. | :27:56. | |
to come back in, feeling very confused and uneasy | :27:57. | :28:00. | |
about what had happened. And they had the maturity to listen | :28:01. | :28:04. | |
to us about what we were saying was important, and then | :28:05. | :28:09. | |
they supported each So, you know, you should assume | :28:10. | :28:11. | |
the best about children and in a challenge like this we saw | :28:12. | :28:17. | |
that they could rise to it. After all of that, today's | :28:18. | :28:22. | |
a good day for you. Mm, today is a really | :28:23. | :28:25. | |
good day for us. The head teacher of | :28:26. | :28:30. | |
the Kensington Aldridge Academy, David Benson, speaking | :28:31. | :28:32. | |
to our education correspondent, Let's go back to our main story | :28:33. | :28:34. | |
tonight, and the terror 13 people have been killed and at | :28:35. | :28:49. | |
least 100 have been injured, after a van was driven into crowds at one of | :28:50. | :28:53. | |
the city's most popular tourist sites and there are warnings that | :28:54. | :28:56. | |
the death toll may rise. Gavin Lee is there with the latest. | :28:57. | :29:02. | |
The police press conference has just finished in the past few minutes. | :29:03. | :29:07. | |
The latest details we know, more than 100 people injured, 13 people | :29:08. | :29:11. | |
dead, 15 people in a critical condition in hospital. Behind me | :29:12. | :29:15. | |
this is the stretch of last Rambus, the most famous promenade in Spain, | :29:16. | :29:20. | |
where police are going from house to house right now -- the stretch of | :29:21. | :29:23. | |
last Rambus. They are investigating exactly who is in because they | :29:24. | :29:27. | |
believe there's a bigger plot, more men involved. They say two men have | :29:28. | :29:31. | |
been arrested. They were hiding in bars about 500 metres down the | :29:32. | :29:36. | |
street. There were about 200 people inside a museum, inside some of the | :29:37. | :29:40. | |
shops, hiding out. They are being told to stay, take cover. There's | :29:41. | :29:47. | |
been two men a third has an shot about 500 metres from here, shot | :29:48. | :29:53. | |
dead. Two men fled on foot, a third man appears to have tried to escape | :29:54. | :29:57. | |
500 metres away. I can bring in an eyewitness here, Aamer Anwar, from | :29:58. | :30:02. | |
Scotland. You were amongst the people who were told to stay away | :30:03. | :30:07. | |
and all the tourists around us cannot go back into the city. Tell | :30:08. | :30:12. | |
me what you saw this evening? I literally had come onto Las Ramblas, | :30:13. | :30:18. | |
I was about to stop there, it was too busy, there were families, young | :30:19. | :30:24. | |
people, it was too busy so I decided to walk on. Just as I walked on, | :30:25. | :30:28. | |
literally ten seconds, I heard the sound of a crash, screams at the | :30:29. | :30:32. | |
same time and thousands of people started to run. I turned around, | :30:33. | :30:36. | |
looked, and started to run. I didn't know why I was running, I could hear | :30:37. | :30:40. | |
the screaming. After ten seconds I stopped. The man behind me was in | :30:41. | :30:45. | |
tears, a Bengali man who was crying, I could hear him speaking and he | :30:46. | :30:52. | |
said he had seen a car mounted the pavement, go into a crowd of people | :30:53. | :30:55. | |
and he thought five or six people were dead. Instantaneously the | :30:56. | :30:58. | |
police arrived, the emergency services response was amazing. | :30:59. | :31:03. | |
Within 30 seconds, hundreds of police, ambulances and fire brigade. | :31:04. | :31:08. | |
What about you tonight? Nobody has told me to do anything. The | :31:09. | :31:11. | |
emergency response was brilliant but there are thousands of people not | :31:12. | :31:16. | |
quite knowing what to do, trying to get to my hotel which is only five | :31:17. | :31:20. | |
minutes from where this happened and people are standing about, not | :31:21. | :31:23. | |
knowing where to go. They don't know the addresses, they don't know how | :31:24. | :31:28. | |
to get there. Thank you for talking to me. Amongst hundreds of people | :31:29. | :31:31. | |
around me now the police investigation continues, for what | :31:32. | :31:35. | |
has been the biggest terrorist attack here in Spain in more than a | :31:36. | :31:39. | |
decade. Gavin Lee with the latest from | :31:40. | :31:43. | |
