Police in Sweden say the lorry used in yesterday's terror attack

which killed four people, also contained a suspicious device.

Scottish-trained horse, The Foreign Secretary,

Boris Johnson, has pulled out of a planned visit to Moscow

on Monday, following the chemical weapons attack

in Syria earlier this week. In a statement he said he deplored

Russia's continued defence It would have been

the first visit to Russia, by a British Foreign Secretary,

in more than five years. 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, Now Britain's followed up

with a diplomatic rebuke. Boris Johnson's called off talks

in Moscow on Monday and issued 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

that the shocking events of the last The planned visit by Boris Johnson

to Moscow would have been the first by any British Foreign Secretary

relationship between Britain But the events of the past week

paying their respects to those who died, and Dan Johnson

Clive, there's been calm, there's been stillness, there's been sadness

too across this city today and hundreds of people have come to

place flowers on this fence. They're still doing it now. There are

broader issues that are raised by this attack. They'll have to be

contemplated in the days to come but the priority is on the growing

police operation and there are searches going on across the city

now into tell evening. There have been significant developments in the

police investigation today -- into the evening. Pf pf

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.

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

on chance decisions that determined death or injury for some,

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.

tonight the area re-opened and more people came, to be close, to share a

moment of message of hope and defiance of the boarded up shop

difficult questions but its impact's only just starting to sink in. Dan

Johnson, BBC News, Stockholme. Two people have died after a fire

at a residential care home in Hertfordshire in the early hours

of this morning. More than 30 other people had to be

rescued, at the New Grange This was home to more than 30

elderly and infirm residents. They were unable to make

their own way to safety. When firefighters arrived early this

morning, they found a fierce fire raging in the roof space,

which was spreading As you can see, the roof

has since collapsed. A neighbour filmed the blaze,

stretching from end to end of the building

and occasionally flaring up. Firefighters had to go into the

flames to carry people to safety. This being a residential care home,

there were over 30 people, some of which were unable

to escape themselves. And we ended up carrying out

a number of rescues, over 30. To remove people both

with crews wearing breathing The care home residents

were brought onto the street, where local people did their best

to look after them. The emergency services were praised

for their fantastic response. Two people died at the scene,

three others were taken to hospital, suffering from minor burns

and the effects of The cause of the fire

is under investigation. The French Government says nearly

three and a half tonnes of explosives and dozens of guns,

have been found at eight sites, belonging to the Basque

separatist group ETA. It follows their decision to hand

over all their weapons, ending more than 40 years

of violence, in which over Our Chief International

Correspondent Lyse Doucet, reports from the French Basque

city of Bayonne. Arms caches uncovered. French police

carry the weapons away. Eight hidden dumps surrendered by ETA. Three

tonnes of explosives, 120 guns. Today, in the Basque region in

France, a peace rally. They also want to see proof on the big screen.

A video of an arms dump encircled by volunteers. Basque civil society

played a key role, persuading ETA to give up its guns. There were decades

of car bombings, assassinations. In ETA's bloody campaign for Basque

independence. ETA's file was finally handed over at City Hall from civil

society to international witnesses. I was allowed to sit in on this

ceremony. Everyone spoke of an historic moment. I'm convinced that

ETA is handling the weapons it has under its control. I'm not sceptical

because ETA declared a ceasefire and end to violence six years ago and

they monitored the ceasefire. Since the declaration, there's not been

any incidents of violence by ETA. For Spain's government, they're

still terrorists. TRANSLATION: The terrorists cannot

expect any kind of favourable treatment from the government and

even less impunity for their crimes. A local police chief, one of many

victims. His wife Rosa remembers every detail of the day ETA shot

him. My son told me, mama be strong. Any steps towards peace are good,

she now says, but accuses ETA of making too much of today's ceremony.

But it mattered to many Basques. You can really feel the excitement here

in the Basque region, a sense of something important happening. But

50 years of violence have left a deep wound, especially in Spanish

society. A dark chapter is ending but a reconciliation has yet to

start. Lyse Doucet, BBC News, Bayonne.
