:00:46. > :00:48.in France to mark 100 years since the First World War

:00:49. > :01:12.A British father of two was among the victims of Friday's terror

:01:13. > :01:15.attack in the Swedish capital Stockholm.

:01:16. > :01:18.Chris Bevington - who was 41 - was among four people killed

:01:19. > :01:22.when a hijacked lorry crashed into a department store.

:01:23. > :01:25.Today, as thousands attended a vigil for those who died,

:01:26. > :01:28.more details have been emerging of the man behind the attack.

:01:29. > :01:34.Our correspondent Dan Johnson is in Stockholm.

:01:35. > :01:42.The mood here is still quite subject, two days after the attack,

:01:43. > :01:45.there was a minutes silence, observed with total respect, but

:01:46. > :01:50.people were trying to process the confusion of thoughts that have been

:01:51. > :01:53.circulating over the weekend because of this attack, thinking of the

:01:54. > :01:58.victims, considering what it might mean in terms of changes for the

:01:59. > :02:02.future. And processing the new information that of the four people

:02:03. > :02:11.who died it, two were from overseas and one was a British man who had

:02:12. > :02:13.made his life in Sweden. Talented compassionate and caring, Chris

:02:14. > :02:18.Bevington in the words of his father. He chose to marry and call

:02:19. > :02:25.Sweden home. He had young children here and worked for the music

:02:26. > :02:29.company Spotify. He was here in Stockholm's crowded shopping streets

:02:30. > :02:34.on Friday afternoon when a hijacked truck was turned into a weapon. A

:02:35. > :02:39.Belgian and two Swedish citizens were also killed in the attack.

:02:40. > :02:45.Today investigators revealed more about the man they think was at the

:02:46. > :02:48.wheel. TRANSLATION: We know the suspect showed sympathies for

:02:49. > :02:54.extremist organisations, amongst them Islamic State. He's a

:02:55. > :02:58.39-year-old from Uzbekistan although he hasn't officially been named. He

:02:59. > :03:02.was on the security services radar, although they say he was a marginal

:03:03. > :03:05.figure. His application to stay in Sweden was turned down last summer

:03:06. > :03:11.and the police were looking for him because he had avoided being

:03:12. > :03:13.deported. This is where the truck ended up, smashed against the

:03:14. > :03:18.department store window, people have come here to write messages of hope

:03:19. > :03:28.and a finance and there have been more tributes to the victim 's -- of

:03:29. > :03:34.hope and defiance. Just yards away, a chance to share feelings, try to

:03:35. > :03:39.make sense of them, sadness, anger and fear, of what might happen next.

:03:40. > :03:45.Quite emotional. I'm very sad and angry but it is so wonderful that

:03:46. > :03:51.people have come together. We stand here in solidarity. Not just in

:03:52. > :03:56.Stockholm, but around the world, with everyone, you need Stuart

:03:57. > :04:03.Fielden love that we are together and that we are not afraid -- who

:04:04. > :04:06.needs to field the love. There is spontaneous applause for the

:04:07. > :04:12.Stockholm police, and a challenge to those who threaten the way of life

:04:13. > :04:18.here. If we become scared, replay their hand, -- we play their hand,

:04:19. > :04:24.and this is a good picture of how Sweden reacted. This was a display

:04:25. > :04:28.of multiculturalism, kindness and tolerance, things people recognise

:04:29. > :04:32.could now face a threat. Dan Johnson, BBC News, Stockholm.

:04:33. > :04:35.More than 40 people have been killed and many others wounded

:04:36. > :04:39.in two attacks on Christian Coptic churches in Egypt.

:04:40. > :04:41.One blast - in Tanta, north of Cairo - happened

:04:42. > :04:43.as worshippers were gathering for Palm Sunday.

:04:44. > :04:45.So-called Islamic State has claimed responsibility.

:04:46. > :04:52.This report from our Middle East Correspondent, Yolande Knell.

:04:53. > :04:58.Egyptian Christians had gathered to celebrate one of their holiest days.

:04:59. > :05:05.But this Palm Sunday brought violence. The first deadly its

:05:06. > :05:13.motion was during mass at St George 's Church in Tanta, leaving blood

:05:14. > :05:18.everywhere, wooden pews shattered. Just hours later there was another

:05:19. > :05:23.attack here, in the northern city of Alexandria, this time just outside

:05:24. > :05:26.the church, the dead included police officers who had stopped the suicide

:05:27. > :05:34.bomber from entering, the head of Egypt's Coptic Church had already

:05:35. > :05:39.left. In Rome at Palm Sunday prayers Pope Francis condemned the bombings,

:05:40. > :05:47.he is going to visit Egypt later this month. A recent upsurge in

:05:48. > :05:51.attacks on Egypt's Coptic Christians is causing concern, they are one of

:05:52. > :05:55.the oldest Christian communities in the world and they make up one in

:05:56. > :06:03.ten of the country's mainly Muslim arbitration and in Fabry hundreds

:06:04. > :06:08.fled the so-called Islamic State group which also claimed the latest

:06:09. > :06:11.bombings -- in February. In December nearly 30 were killed in this church

:06:12. > :06:15.explosion in Cairo, and Coptic leaders say Christians feel

:06:16. > :06:20.increasingly threatened. I'm very blessed to be part of a church that

:06:21. > :06:25.has faced discrimination systematically now for decades, and

:06:26. > :06:34.the response to that has always been quite gracious, no retaliation and

:06:35. > :06:39.no violence and I pray this continues, because if we return with

:06:40. > :06:46.violence more people will get hurt. Egypt said this is another attempt

:06:47. > :06:53.to destroy national unity by causing divisions, but the Coptic community

:06:54. > :06:55.says much more needs to be done to make them feel safe in their own

:06:56. > :06:59.country. The body of PC Keith Palmer,

:07:00. > :07:02.who was murdered in the Westminster terror attack, has arrived

:07:03. > :07:04.at the Houses of Parliament, His coffin will lie

:07:05. > :07:08.in rest at the chapel It is an honour traditionally

:07:09. > :07:17.afforded only to great statesmen and women,

:07:18. > :07:19.but this afternoon the body of police constable Keith Palmer

:07:20. > :07:25.arrived at the Palace of Westminster to lie in rest at the Chapel

:07:26. > :07:30.of St Mary Undercroft. The bodies of Baroness Thatcher

:07:31. > :07:33.and Tony Benn were the last to lie here, with the permission

:07:34. > :07:36.of the Queen - the chapel falls Her Majesty agreed that PC

:07:37. > :07:41.Palmer should be granted An ordinary copper who performed

:07:42. > :07:47.an extraordinary act of bravery. Tomorrow PC Palmer's coffin

:07:48. > :07:54.will pass through these gates and pass the exact spot

:07:55. > :07:57.where he lost his life. And then the funeral cortege

:07:58. > :08:02.will make its way across the river through streets lined with police

:08:03. > :08:04.and public to Southwark Today, part of the route

:08:05. > :08:12.was being traced by worshippers from the cathedral at

:08:13. > :08:15.the start of Holy Week. The Dean of Southwark will officiate

:08:16. > :08:20.at tomorrow's funeral. The service will include these

:08:21. > :08:28.verses from St John's Gospel. "To lay down one's life

:08:29. > :08:32.for one's friends". The important thing for me is,

:08:33. > :08:35.tomorrow will be his funeral, something that we need to do

:08:36. > :08:38.to honour him and to help his family But for the rest of us, of course,

:08:39. > :08:46.it's representing that sacrifice which I think we can speak

:08:47. > :08:49.of his death as a kind Tributes to PC Palmer continue to be

:08:50. > :08:54.laid in Parliament Square. His courage and his sacrifice

:08:55. > :08:56.commended at the heart Throughout the night,

:08:57. > :09:04.two police officers will stand beside the constable's body,

:09:05. > :09:06.guarding the man who died Mark Easton, BBC News,

:09:07. > :09:13.the Palace of Westminster. There's been a data breach

:09:14. > :09:16.at the payday loan firm Wonga, involving a quarter

:09:17. > :09:17.of a million customers. Personal details leaked include home

:09:18. > :09:20.addresses and bank details. Joe Lynam, our Business

:09:21. > :09:33.Correspondent is here. What do we know? Summer outside the

:09:34. > :09:37.company Wonga try to access highly personal data -- someone outside the

:09:38. > :09:41.company for top is was names and addresses and Saltcoats and the last

:09:42. > :09:47.four digital credit card numbers. -- sought votes. Glacier has apologised

:09:48. > :09:52.this and it has urged customers to be vigilant, to watch for unusual

:09:53. > :09:58.activity on their bank accounts -- Wonga has apologised. The numbers

:09:59. > :10:06.are pretty huge, 270,000 people in total, most of which are in Britain

:10:07. > :10:10.and that is more than the 160,000 people that were affected by the

:10:11. > :10:13.talk talk breach a couple of years ago, but when the dust settled, the

:10:14. > :10:18.number ended up being considerably smaller. Thanks for joining us.

:10:19. > :10:20.The leader of the UK's biggest trade union, Unite,

:10:21. > :10:22.has demanded that the Labour party investigates what he claims

:10:23. > :10:24.are attempts by some Labour MPs to undermine

:10:25. > :10:28.Len McCluskey's being challenged for the leadership

:10:29. > :10:30.of the union by Gerard Coyne - the result of the contest

:10:31. > :10:33.will be announced at the end of the month,

:10:34. > :10:34.and as our Industry Correspondent John Moylan explains,

:10:35. > :10:42.He's the former Liverpool dock worker who rose to be the most

:10:43. > :10:45.powerful trade union leader in Britain.

:10:46. > :10:47.But he's up against this man, Gerald Coyne, politically

:10:48. > :10:49.to Len McCluskey's right, who believes the UK's biggest

:10:50. > :11:00.Make sure that you do vote, because it is really important.

:11:01. > :11:02.Campaigning in Nottingham, Gerald Coyne says the union needs

:11:03. > :11:05.to focus on the challenge of Brexit, insecure work and the increase

:11:06. > :11:08.of automation, and he is scathing about what he calls Len McCluskey's

:11:09. > :11:12.I am standing because I believe the union has spent too much time

:11:13. > :11:16.messing in Westminster politics, and actually what we need to do

:11:17. > :11:19.is make sure we are focused on making our members's priorities

:11:20. > :11:26.This contest matters, because whoever ends up occupying

:11:27. > :11:29.the general secretary's office on the seventh floor of the Unite

:11:30. > :11:31.headquarters here in London will have an influence,

:11:32. > :11:35.which stretches from workplaces, right through to Westminster.

:11:36. > :11:38.Unite is the UK's biggest trade union, and, of course,

:11:39. > :11:43.it is the biggest donor to the Labour Party.

:11:44. > :11:47.What's more, Len McCluskey has been one of the most powerful

:11:48. > :11:50.supporters of Jeremy Corbyn, and put ?225,000 into Mr Corbyn's

:11:51. > :11:56.He says he is standing by his record, and he rejects

:11:57. > :12:09.We are always driven by Unite's policy, determined by our members.

:12:10. > :12:17.It is my job to make certain their views, their policies,

:12:18. > :12:23.If I have to kick doors down, I will do that, but the idea that

:12:24. > :12:25.I spend too much time meddling in Westminster politics

:12:26. > :12:28.There is a third challenger, seen as politically

:12:29. > :12:34.Ian Allinson says he is the grassroots candidate.

:12:35. > :12:38.I think I am the one candidate in this election that has not worked

:12:39. > :12:41.at the top of the union for decades, and I know the expressions

:12:42. > :12:44.of frustration of members at first hand, and it needs shaking up

:12:45. > :12:51.Seasoned Westminster watchers believe the race could define

:12:52. > :13:01.There is no question that Corbyn will be watching this vote,

:13:02. > :13:04.and will hope it goes the way of Len McCluskey, because

:13:05. > :13:08.if Gerald Coyne wins, he knows he will have another enemy.

:13:09. > :13:11.Whoever wins will lead Unite through to the next election.

:13:12. > :13:16.Voting in this increasingly bitter battle closes in just over a week.

:13:17. > :13:19.Some sport now and Lewis Hamilton has won the Chinese Grand Prix.

:13:20. > :13:21.It was a stop-start race in Shanghai as wet

:13:22. > :13:27.But Hamilton's Mercedes led from the start to take

:13:28. > :13:30.Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel was second, with Max Verstappen

:13:31. > :13:35.third, despite starting in 16th place.

:13:36. > :13:37.The Prince of Wales, President Hollande and the Canadian

:13:38. > :13:39.Prime Minister Justin Trudeau all gathered in northern France

:13:40. > :13:42.today to mark one of the bloodiest battles of the First World War.

:13:43. > :13:45.More than 3,500 Canadian troops died in four days

:13:46. > :13:47.of fighting at the Battle of Vimy Ridge.

:13:48. > :14:02.Vimy Ridge is a place of loss and remembrance. The Canadians fought,

:14:03. > :14:11.died, and eventually took the hill behind me. And in nearby Arras,

:14:12. > :14:17.where thousands of Scottish troops were also Roman but, major acts of

:14:18. > :14:22.commemoration of the First World War -- were also remembered.

:14:23. > :14:24.It was the battle that defined a nation, in a conflict whose

:14:25. > :14:32.Today's commemoration at Vimy Ridge was a chance for Canada to remember

:14:33. > :14:34.those who fell here and those who rose to the

:14:35. > :14:43.The burden they bore and the country they made, because this,

:14:44. > :14:56.More than 3500 Canadians died in the four days it took

:14:57. > :15:17.An event later described as the moment Canada came of age.

:15:18. > :15:20.Today, beneath a World War I fly past, Prince William

:15:21. > :15:22.and Prince Harry laids boots and poppies, as symbols

:15:23. > :15:32.This was a battlefield of corpses, the Canadians

:15:33. > :15:35.at Vimy embodied the true North, strong and free.

:15:36. > :15:42.In nearby Arras, Scottish losses were also remembered today.

:15:43. > :15:51.That he lay down his life for his friends. The daily rate of

:15:52. > :15:55.casualties was greater than the Somme, amongst those to die was

:15:56. > :16:03.26-year-old Sergeant David would from Edinburgh. We would not be here

:16:04. > :16:07.without them, we would not be free to do what we want, when we want,

:16:08. > :16:15.they fought and died for us and we have got to remember them. There are

:16:16. > :16:21.no more combat veterans alive from the First World War. Vimy Ridge and
