Police in Sweden say a man arrested following yesterday's lorry attack

in Stockholm is a 39-year-old from Uzbekistan who was known

Police believe he was driving the truck that crashed

into a department store, killing four and injuring 15 others.

Detectives also confirmed they found a "suspicious

Dan Johnson is in Stockholm for us tonight.

Yes, today there's been calm, stillness and sadness as well.

People are still coming to lay flowers here this evening. They know

the deeper impacts will take time to sink in that there has also been

progress to absorb today in today's investigation.

Late last night, a glimpse of the ordinary delivery truck

that was turned against people in a moment of terror.

It was towed away to be examined and police made

We have found something in the truck in the driver's seat.

A technical device which should not be there.

I cannot at this stage say that this is a bomb.

The man they think was at the wheel has connections here,

He hasn't been named but he's a 39-year-old from Uzbekistan.

We understand he was registered at one of the addresses in this

block, although we don't know if he actually lived here.

People have told us the police were here in number until the early

hours of the morning and they've taken some people

In the city, after yesterday's horror, time to think and to reflect

on chance decisions that determined death or injury for some,

Patrick and Francesca are tourists who were in the basement

of the department store when the truck hit.

We went up the escalator and we saw panic and we saw

police with guns and stuff like that, so...

Everybody was screaming and running to the other side of the building

and we took the side entrance and we went out.

And we just kept running to the other side of the city.

Yeah, yeah, just to show that we care.

Sweden's Crown Princess came to pay her respects,

and the King said the entire country had been shaken but that

the response had shown the strength and resilience of Swedish society.

It's a society which is open, proud to embrace all,

but some are now asking, at what cost?

The Foreign Secretary, Boris Johnson, has pulled out

of a planned visit to Moscow on Monday, in the wake

of the suspected chemical weapons attack in Syria earlier this week.

In a statement he said he deplored Russia's continued defence

Our diplomatic correspondent James Robbins reports.

This was President Trump's message to the Syrian government and its

Russian backers yesterday, delivered with force. The United States and

her allies reject Syrian denials they used a chemical weapon against

civilians, including children. Now Britain has followed up with a

diplomatic rebuke. Boris Johnson has called off talks in Moscow on Monday

and issued a written statement instead. Developments in Syria have

changed the situation fundamentally. We deplore Russia's continued

defence of the Assad regime even after the chemical weapons attack on

innocent civilians. We call on Russia to do everything possible to

bring about a political settlement in Syria and ensure the shocking

events of last week are never repeated. The planned visit by Boris

Johnson would be the first by any British Foreign Secretary for five

years, a long gap reflecting the difficult relationship between

Britain and Russia which already existed. But now these events have

provoked an even deeper crisis. Russia's response came from a tweet

from the embassy in London, accusing Russia of theatrics -- a clue --

appeared in Boris Johnson theatrics. The 1812 overture or celebrates past

Russian victory. Instead of seeing the Russians on Monday, Boris

Johnson will be in Italy, talking to America's secretary of state Rex

Tillerson and other allies including Germany. TRANSLATION: The attack by

the United States is understandable, given the extent of the war crime,

the suffering of the innocent people and the blockade the UN security

council. And that message will be reinforced when Mr Tillotson, not

Boris Johnson, goes to Moscow next week for what will be a very tough

between Russia and the United States.

Two people have died after a fire at a residential care home

More than 30 other people had to be rescued, at the

Andy, bring us up to date with the latest. Well, firefighters were

called here at ten to six this morning to find a fierce blaze

raging in the roof space from end to end of this care home. The residents

are elderly and infirm, many are wheelchair users. They had to be

rescued by the firefighters. They were carried down ladders and then

brought out into the street here in chairs, some of them. They were

covered in blankets and clothes, anything to keep them warm. 30

residents have been found alternative accommodation, three

have been taken to hospital, two have been taken to a Community

Hospital. They were suffering from minor injuries and the effects of

breathing in smoke. Thank you. Workers at three rail companies have

been on strike today, affecting racegoers heading

to the Grand National. Members of the RMT union at

Merseyrail which services Aintree, as well as Arriva Rail North

and Southern, are in dispute over Grand National day is also

the busiest day of the year of the year in Liverpool,

passengers pouring off trains Today, those arriving at lime tree

station were met by a picket line, manned by train conductors belonging

to the RMT union, striking over the introduction

of driver only trains. The fact that there is strike

action on today is only down to the employers

and their intransigent attitude for refusing to negotiate a sensible

solution with the trade union. During the course of the whole

Grand National Festival, one in three race goers gets

to and from Aintree And today, on Grand National day

itself, the company carries As long as they're still

running, that's fine. They shouldn't take guards

of the train and just have drivers. I think they deserve

a medal actually. The strikes, fair play,

they need to get a better deal for their jobs,

then fair enough, quite right. Are you concerned enough

about getting home? No, I'll be fine, I'll

get a bus or a taxi. Merseyrail managers stepped

in to operate extra trains at peak times, but on focusing

all their efforts on transport for the race, they admit other

routes have not been able to run. One of the things we'll be doing

on Monday is reflecting internally on whether in fact we

engaged with the RMT. This dispute needs to be resolved

as quickly as possible. Not everyone uses the train

to get to the races. Merseyrail said staging

the strike today would damage The RMT said it wanted to make

the biggest impact possible. So, what about the racing

at the Grand National today, the most famous steeple chase

in the world? Under sweltering skies

the stage was set. 70,000 fans arrived to sunshine

at Aintree, and that annual dilemma, predicting the winner of one

of sport's In the end, Blaklion set off

the marginal favourite, Two false starts, before eventually,

it was third time lucky. The 40 runners headed off

around the famous fences. Inevitably, there were fallers,

but for the fifth year running, all horses and jockeys

returned home safely. With three fences left,

Blaklion led but he had company, and as they came over the last,

One For Arthur, ridden Only last month, Fox broke his wrist

and collarbone in a fall. He only returned from

injury three days ago, but he held off Cause of Causes

and Saint Are for a thrilling win. Yes, the race's first

Scottish winner since 1979, One For Arthur trained in Kinross

by Lucinda Russell. Elation and emotion,

that's what it means Yes, what a win for One For Arthur.

Only the second Scottish trained horse to win the National, and what

a day for jockey Derek Fox. March the night he broke his wrist, less

than a month later he is won the Grand National. Clive.
