Thousands attend a vigil in Stockholm after

A short distance from where the vehicle was driven

towards pedestrians, Swedes paid their respects

We stand here in solidarity, not just with those in Stockholm,

but around the world, with everyone who needs to feel

the love, and we are together in this and we are not afraid.

The British victim was 41-year old Chris Bevington,

a father of two who'd made his home in Sweden.

We'll have the latest from Stockholm, where

A three-month state of emergency in Egypt after more than 40 people

are killed in two attacks targeting Coptic Christians.

The body of murdered police officer Keith Palmer is resting

inside the Palace of Westminster ahead of his funeral tomorrow.

A huge data breach at the payday lender Wonga.

Nearly a quarter of a million customers may be affected.

And, the Princes honour the fallen of Vimy Ridge,

100 years after a key battle of the First World War.

A British father of two was among the victims of Friday's terror

attack in the Swedish capital Stockholm.

Chris Bevington, who was 41, was among four people killed

when a hijacked lorry crashed into a department store.

Today, as thousands attended a vigil for those who died,

more details have been emerging of the man behind the attack.

A square in Stockholm close to Friday's attack. Time to stop and

think. A chance to reflect on jumbled emotions, on uncomfortable

feelings, and to consider lives lost in a few terrible moment. Chris

Bevington was one of those killed. A father to two young boys who moved

to Sweden to build a life a family and a career working for music

companies to fight. His father said, we are devastated the untimely

and... He was here in the crowded shopping street when a delivery

truck was hijacked and used as a weapon. A Belgian and two Swedish

citizens were also killed. Police have revealed more about the

39-year-old from Uzbekistan they believe was at the wheel. He has

applied for permanent residence in Sweden, he has been denied that. He

has been wanted by the police. This is where the truck ended up smashed

against the department store window. People have kept coming here to

write messages of hope and defiance, and there have been more tributes to

the victims. Just yards away, a display of the tolerance and

kindness some fear could be at risk. Thousands shared their sadness,

anger and unease about the future. I want Stockholm to be open, as it

always has been. For so many years. And now all of a sudden, most of the

people seem to be afraid, but still are very calm. We stand in

solidarity, not just with those in Stockholm, but around the world,

with everyone who needs to feel the love, and that we are together in

this and not afraid. There was pride as well in the city's response. It

-- applause for the police and a message for those who threaten the

way of life here. If we become scared, we play into their hands.

This is a good picture of how Sweden reacted. So far, that reaction has

been solid. But tougher tests could still come.

It will come as no surprise that those who died were not just Swedish

citizens. The fact that foreigners were affected as well. This is a

modern city, but the revelation that the main suspect was a failed asylum

seeker who was wanted, who should have been deported, Wilbury many

people, and there is still a lot to understand about this attack and its

full implications. A three-month state of emergency has

been announced in Egypt, following two attacks

on Christian Coptic More than 40 people were killed

and many others wounded as worshippers gathered

for Palm Sunday in Tanta, So-called Islamic State has

claimed responsibility. Egyptian Christians had

gathered to celebrate one But this Palm Sunday

brought violence. The first deadly explosion

was during mass at St Joseph's Church in Tanta,

leaving blood everywhere. Just hours later, there

was another attack, here in the northern

city of Alexandria. The dead include police officers

who had stopped the suicide The head of Egypt's Coptic

Church had already left. In Rome at Palm Sunday prayers,

Pope Francis condemned the bombings. He is due to visit

Egypt later this month. A recent upsurge in attacks

on Egypt's Copts is causing concern. They are one of the world's oldest

Christian communities and make up one in ten

of the country's In February, hundreds fled the Sinai

region following a threat from the so-called Islamic State

group, which also claimed In December, nearly 30 were killed

in this church explosion in Cairo. Coptic leaders say Christians feel

increasingly threatened. I am very blessed to be part

of a church that has faced discrimination,

systematically, for decades. The response to that has always

been quite gracious, non-retaliatory, nonviolent,

and I pray that this continues. Because if we get into

a spiral of violence, Egypt's government said the latest

attacks are another failed attempt to destroy national unity

by stirring up tensions. But Coptic Christians grieving once

again say much more needs to be done to make them feel safe

in their own country. The US Secretary of State Rex

Tillerson has criticised Russia for failing to prevent last week's

poison-gas attack In an interview on US television,

he said he would challenge the Russians on their failure

to stop Syria using This comes with him due to visit

Moscow in the coming days. Yes, this will be a big topic of his visit,

which was preplanned, that this is overshadowing it, occurs the Trump

administration is stepping up the pressure on the Russians. The

Secretary of State said this was especially the case because they

were the guarantor for the case to eliminate the chemical weapons. He

said at least it shows incompetence, if not complicity. He is going to

warn them, he said, that if there is another attack by the Syrians, this

would be very bad for US/ Russian relations. Officials are hoping this

episode will cause the Russians to rethink their support for Assad, to

pull back from it, but so far the evidence is the opposite has

happened, President Putin has shown greater solidarity with Assad. But

the Russians will want to hear directly from the Secretary of State

what this means for American policy with regard Russia and Syria. They

had a lady pulled back their expectations that a Trump presidency

would be good for the relations, but ironically the area where they had

the most promise to work together. Syria, because the president had

talked about jointly fighting is group there, but that seems

impossible now. The body of PC Keith Palmer,

who was murdered in the Westminster terror attack, is lying in a chapel

inside the Houses of Parliament, The Queen gave permission

for his coffin to be brought to the Chapel of St Mary Undercroft,

a rare honour also bestowed It is an honour traditionally

afforded only to great This afternoon, the body of police

constable Keith Palmer arrived at the Palace of Westminster to lie

in rest in the Chapel The bodies of Baroness Thatcher

and Tony Benn were the last to lie here, with the permission

of the Queen. The Chapel falls under

royal jurisdiction. Her Majesty agreed that PC Palmer

should be granted the same privilege, an ordinary copper

who performed an extraordinary act of bravery, killed

protecting Parliament. Tomorrow, PC Palmer's coffin

will pass through the gates and past the exact spot

where he lost his life. Then the cortege will make its way

across the river from streets lined with police and public

to Southwark Cathedral Today, part of the route

was being traced by worshippers from the cathedral at the start

of holy week. The Dean of Southwark will officiate

at tomorrow's funeral. The service will include these

verses from St John's Gospel, "Greater love has no one than this,

to lay down one's life The important thing for me

is tomorrow will be his funeral, something that we need to do

to honour him and to help this family with their grieving,

but for the rest of us, it is representing that sacrifice,

we can speak of his death Tributes to PC Palmer continue to be

laid in Parliament Square, his courage and sacrifice commended

at the heart of Britain's democracy. Throughout the night,

two police officers will stand beside the constable's body,

guarding the man who died With two weeks to go before

the first round of voting in the French presidential election,

Emmanuel Macron is the favourite He founded his own independent

political movement just a year ago, saying he's "neither

left nor right wing", Our Europe correspondent

Damian Grammaticas spent the day with him, on the campaign

trail in Corsica. He is the newcomer with

the 100-watt smile who has The 39-year-old current

favourite for president. Emmanuel Macron is a former

businessman banker styling himself Not from the left or right,

he says, but different. Above all, he claims

he is the positive alternative to the other front runner,

the far-right Marine Le Pen. She is in favour of Frexit,

of stopping with the European Union, with existing agreements we have,

and recreating new boundaries. I do believe it is not the best way

to strengthen our country. Instead, what is good

for France, he believes, is strengthening the EU,

sticking to the Euro, and he said if he is President,

he would do the UK no favours I would favour the mid to long-term

interests of the EU. I do not want to be in a situation

to have a smooth Brexit just for the interest of one sector

or one business. I do believe a strong France

in a strong Europe is the unique way So, after Brexit and Donald Trump,

a Macron victory would mark a turning of the political

tide for Europe. On to another event,

and a Macron victory He has never fought

an election before. He is not the

most-inspiring speaker. In Corsica, the crowd

seemed enthusiastic. This was another packed event

from Emmanuel Macron, Is youth something

fresh or inexperienced? The fact he is not from one

of the main parties, will that make it hard for him

to get any programme through? The fact he is a former banker,

can he really bring change? "Today, to make things

happen here in France, we need to work together,"

this lady said. "I like what I heard,

because I never believed His is the candidacy built on self

belief and optimism. There's been a data breach

at the payday loan firm Wonga, involving a quarter

of a million customers. Personal details leaked include home

addresses and bank details. What happened? Wonga were made aware

that someone from outside the company had tried to access

sensitive data, names, addresses and sort codes, e-mail addresses and the

final four digits of credit cards. Wonga, famous for its high interest

loans or people with poor credit records, has apologised, but urged

customers to be vigilant, watching for unusual activity on their bank

accounts. The numbers are huge, 270,000 people affected, the vast

majority in the UK. That is considerably more than the 160,000

people affected by the TalkTalk data breach last year. When the dust

settled on that, far fewer people ended up in the affected by the

breach in the end. With all the sport, here's

Lizzie Greenwood-Hughes It looks like there'll be

an exciting finish to golf's first major of the year,

the Masters, as England's Justin Rose is neck and neck

with Sergio Garcia as the leaders approach their last

few holes in Augusta. Katie Gornall has the story

of the final day so far. They are to friends, 18 holes from

history. But if they were feeling the pressure at the top of the

leaderboard, they did not show it. Justin Rose already has a major

title to his name. Sergio Garcia has suffered two decades of failed

attempts. Would this finally be his year? There we go, what a start. As

the Europeans set about building on their lead, two Young Americans were

in pursuit. Rickie Fowler was in contention, Jordan Spieth enjoyed a

stuttering start. He was not even born when Fred Couples 125 years

ago, and here he was, still showing the youngsters how it is done.

Another English challenge gathering pace, Paul Casey finding his range.

As for Rory McIlroy, after starting the date six shots behind, he needed

something special. He has missed the mark. It was a relative unknown,

Russell Henley, stealing the limelight. A last-minute qualifier,

he got his final round off to a flyer will stop it was all taking a

while to sink in. After three and a half days of drama, it has come down

to this. Big. Justin Rose and Sergio Garcia, a battle between the haves

and have-nots. Now the ultimate test of nerve.

The latest is that Justin Rose is now one shot ahead on eight under

par after ten holes. Garcia has dropped to seven under, two said of

Charl Schwartzel. Results coming up
