The seven-year-old missing since the Barcelona attack has been

:00:00.:00:00.

Julian Cadman - who was a citizen of both Britain and Australia -

:00:07.:00:13.

was sightseeing with his mother when the van ploughed into them.

:00:14.:00:21.

The 14 dead and scores of injured have been remembered today,

:00:22.:00:25.

with the Spanish King and Queen attending a service in Barcelona.

:00:26.:00:31.

Police have revealed the attackers planned to use

:00:32.:00:33.

The father of two of them speaks of his horror at their actions.

:00:34.:00:40.

TRANSLATION: I have lost my two sons.

:00:41.:00:43.

I cannot forgive them for what they have done.

:00:44.:00:45.

But they have left me and their mother with nothing.

:00:46.:00:47.

Also on the programme this evening...

:00:48.:00:50.

Five million people in Bangladesh are now affected by the worst

:00:51.:00:53.

The death toll across South Asia has risen to 700.

:00:54.:00:59.

The final win for Mo Farah in Britain.

:01:00.:01:06.

And Sir Mo Farah bows out of British track racing.

:01:07.:01:28.

It's been confirmed that a seven-year-old boy who'd been

:01:29.:01:32.

missing since the Barcelona attack on Thursday is among the dead.

:01:33.:01:37.

Julian Cadman, who held joint British and Australian nationality,

:01:38.:01:40.

became separated from his mother when a van was driven

:01:41.:01:43.

His family said they would remember his smiles and hold his memory

:01:44.:01:49.

14 people were killed in that attack and a second one in nearby Cambrils.

:01:50.:01:56.

Today the police revealed that extremists had planned to detonate

:01:57.:01:58.

Our first report is from James Reynolds.

:01:59.:02:06.

This morning, Barcelona's Sagrada Familia basilica -

:02:07.:02:09.

monumental, unfinished - gave the city a place in

:02:10.:02:12.

Renato was one of the first in the queue.

:02:13.:02:19.

Because this city is a symbol of freedom.

:02:20.:02:36.

The people of Barcelona now realise that they are as vulnerable as

:02:37.:02:48.

Change the way their city lives or carry on as before?

:02:49.:03:05.

The Archbishop of Barcelona asked the

:03:06.:03:08.

And he offered consolation to the bereaved.

:03:09.:03:28.

The Cadman family now mourns seven-year-old Julian, the youngest

:03:29.:03:31.

He and his mother were together on Las

:03:32.:03:36.

He was so energetic, funny and cheeky.

:03:37.:03:41.

Always bringing a smile to our faces.

:03:42.:03:43.

We are so blessed to have had him in our lives and will remember

:03:44.:03:47.

his smiles and hold his memory dear to our hearts.

:03:48.:03:55.

The street in which he was struck has been taken back by

:03:56.:03:58.

The Ramblas Avenue has become its own memorial.

:03:59.:04:03.

Spanish police revealed today that the attackers had planned

:04:04.:04:11.

They discovered more than 100 gas cannisters at the men's bomb

:04:12.:04:19.

The father of two of the men, who were shot dead by police

:04:20.:04:25.

on Friday, told the BBC he blames the Imam at their local mosque

:04:26.:04:28.

Our correspondent, Wyre Davies, reports from the town of Rippol,

:04:29.:04:32.

Captured by CCTV and mobile phone, the horror and panic of the attack

:04:33.:04:46.

in Barcelona. As a white van hurtles down Las Ramblas. Killing 13 people

:04:47.:04:52.

and injuring more than 100. But we now know it could have been much

:04:53.:04:56.

worse. If the attackers had carried out their original planned to

:04:57.:05:03.

detonate three massive car bombs. This is the small town of ripple in

:05:04.:05:07.

the foothills of the Spanish Pyrenees, where at least eight,

:05:08.:05:12.

perhaps all 12, and those accused of being involved in the attacks came

:05:13.:05:16.

from. Most were of Moroccan origin and prayed at the local mosque. The

:05:17.:05:21.

name of the one attacker still at large, Younis Abu-Yaqub, written on

:05:22.:05:26.

the wall with others who contributed to mosque funding. Police are asking

:05:27.:05:31.

if this man, and Will Buckley Sochi, the imam at the mosque, was the cell

:05:32.:05:36.

leader and mastermind of the attacks. This was his tiny flat at

:05:37.:05:41.

the top of the building in the town. His bedroom has since been emptied

:05:42.:05:46.

of Everything by police. According to people at the mosque, he left two

:05:47.:05:51.

months ago to go on extended journey to Morocco but we know from his

:05:52.:05:55.

flatmate here and others in the town that he left as recently as last

:05:56.:06:00.

Tuesday very suddenly. All that is left here is a small Koran and his

:06:01.:06:09.

empty bedroom. Today I spoke to the devastated father of two of the

:06:10.:06:14.

attackers from Ripoll. Mohammed and Will Maher China. The last time I

:06:15.:06:18.

saw my youngest son, he told me, was at three o'clock on Thursday, hours

:06:19.:06:22.

before the attack in Barcelona and Cambrils. He did not come back. He

:06:23.:06:29.

roundly blames the imam radicalising his sons and the others.

:06:30.:06:34.

TRANSLATION: He took his young, impressionable minds. Messed around

:06:35.:06:40.

with their brains and now they are dead. My sons and the others, it is

:06:41.:06:50.

all the imam's fault. It is believed the imam was killed in the explosion

:06:51.:06:55.

that destroyed a bomb factory in the town of Alcanar last Wednesday. It

:06:56.:07:01.

was there that police found 120 large gas canisters, which they say

:07:02.:07:05.

were to be used to make three car bombs. But the explosion at the

:07:06.:07:08.

house forced the gang to change their plans. Here in Ripoll, whose

:07:09.:07:14.

son is carried out these attacks, there is a determination that

:07:15.:07:18.

however brutal, what happened. Be allowed to tear apart as tolerant

:07:19.:07:23.

and peaceful community. Wyre Davies, BBC News.

:07:24.:07:28.

Monsoon flooding in South Asia is now known to have claimed more

:07:29.:07:31.

than 700 lives and driven more than a million people

:07:32.:07:33.

Nepal and India have been affected, with some areas cut off

:07:34.:07:38.

In Bangladesh, the flooding is the worst for 30 years.

:07:39.:07:41.

Food supplies are now running low and, as our correspondent,

:07:42.:07:44.

Sanjoy Majumder reports, the relief effort is being hampered

:07:45.:07:46.

Flooding on a scale that Bangladesh has not seen in decades.

:07:47.:07:55.

Water where once roads existed, entire villages washed away.

:07:56.:07:59.

People trying to salvage what little can be retrieved.

:08:00.:08:02.

In this case, a mattress floating in the water.

:08:03.:08:06.

When you have nothing left, every little possession is invaluable.

:08:07.:08:11.

He tells me how the water rose without warning at night,

:08:12.:08:17.

TRANSLATION: I saved my brother and his wife and came back to get

:08:18.:08:24.

some clothes and blankets, but by then it was too

:08:25.:08:26.

There's now a sense of desperation among the survivors.

:08:27.:08:37.

Aid workers bringing supplies of fresh water are soon surrounded,

:08:38.:08:42.

but there is simply not enough to go around, leaving behind angry

:08:43.:08:45.

Those who were lucky enough to escape have

:08:46.:08:50.

This one is built on a narrow embankment surrounded by water.

:08:51.:08:55.

There are 2,000 people living here along with cattle

:08:56.:08:58.

and the problem is, with most of their homes washed away,

:08:59.:09:01.

With so much water around and people squeezed into every inch of dry

:09:02.:09:08.

land, there's now a fear that disease from contaminated water

:09:09.:09:10.

could spread rapidly among the survivors.

:09:11.:09:14.

Police say they have searched nine private care homes in West Sussex

:09:15.:09:25.

as part of an inquiry into alleged ill-treatment.

:09:26.:09:27.

Detectives say they may be investigating some deaths

:09:28.:09:29.

at the centres operated by the company, Sussex Health Care.

:09:30.:09:35.

Companies selling and arranging pension plans are to be banned

:09:36.:09:38.

from making unsolicited phone calls and sending emails and text messages

:09:39.:09:41.

The Government says it's trying to tackle pension scams

:09:42.:09:47.

after fraudsters tricked elderly savers out of nearly

:09:48.:09:50.

?5 million in the first five months of this year.

:09:51.:09:53.

Here's our business correspondent, Joe Lynam.

:09:54.:09:57.

Chas Drew lives in the Forest of Dean.

:09:58.:10:00.

He invested his retirement savings into a fund which did not

:10:01.:10:02.

The company has gone bust and he doesn't know how much

:10:03.:10:08.

I don't think I'm stupid and yet you think, how

:10:09.:10:13.

Rather than having a pension that I knew I could rely on,

:10:14.:10:27.

What I am doing is managing to cash in one of the investments,

:10:28.:10:35.

Since restrictions on how we invest our pension savings

:10:36.:10:44.

were lifted three years ago, allowing people to spend

:10:45.:10:46.

their savings as they wished, 3000 people have been defrauded

:10:47.:10:49.

Much of that arose from cold calls from bogus companies.

:10:50.:10:58.

?43 million worth of pensioners' funds were scammed since April 2014.

:10:59.:11:02.

It is preying on your parents, my parents, on the elderly

:11:03.:11:08.

and the vulnerable and we want to stop it.

:11:09.:11:10.

What the government wants to do is make it illegal for companies

:11:11.:11:13.

to call you up cold to talk about your pension pot

:11:14.:11:16.

And even if you had agreed to the call, it has to be

:11:17.:11:21.

with an established company with regular, up-to-date accounts.

:11:22.:11:23.

So you can't hand over your savings to a bogus entity.

:11:24.:11:27.

This ban on cold calls can't and won't, though,

:11:28.:11:29.

Age UK welcomed the clamp-down on cold calls but said that

:11:30.:11:36.

Their message is, if in doubt, hang-up.

:11:37.:11:39.

A British paramedic who was injured while trying to help victims of a

:11:40.:11:57.

terror attack in Finland has denied he's a hero and spoke of his sadness

:11:58.:12:00.

that he could not save a woman's life. Hassan Zubier is in hospital

:12:01.:12:04.

after he was wounded in the attack that killed two woman and injured

:12:05.:12:07.

several others. Anna has been speaking to him.

:12:08.:12:11.

This wasn't a typical tourist destination or a capital city.

:12:12.:12:19.

Finland first suspected Islamist militant attack brought terror to a

:12:20.:12:24.

market square in drug and chose women as the targets. In two days

:12:25.:12:28.

ago, Hassan was strolling on the cobbles. I heard a scream, I really

:12:29.:12:35.

heartbreaking screen. So I turned around and there was a man standing

:12:36.:12:41.

over her, stabbing her. The father of two was stabbed multiple times as

:12:42.:12:45.

he tried to defend his girlfriend and save a stranger 's life. I ran

:12:46.:12:53.

immediately straight to her. I tried to stop the blood. He tried to stab

:12:54.:12:58.

me and I kicked him off, he was standing opposite me and I kicked

:12:59.:13:05.

him off and he ran away. He came back and I did not see him. I just

:13:06.:13:14.

felt that someone get me. And I thought, OK, something has happened,

:13:15.:13:19.

I am stabbed. I told my girlfriend to get away, run off. He then gave

:13:20.:13:26.

me, I did not know if it was one or two stabbings, I went back to the

:13:27.:13:29.

girl but her injuries were too severe. Some really bad cuts. Yes,

:13:30.:13:38.

we lost. The suspect, an 18-year-old asylum seeker from Morocco who

:13:39.:13:42.

arrived in Finland last year, was shot in the late by police and is

:13:43.:13:47.

now in hospital. An attack described by fenland's President as shocking

:13:48.:13:52.

and cowardly has been met with courage and defiance. Hassan's says

:13:53.:14:01.

he would do it again. I am not a hero, I am just a person who cannot

:14:02.:14:08.

look away. Hassan Zubier speaking to our correspondent, Anna Holligan.

:14:09.:14:09.

With all the sport, here's Kathi Gnanasegaram

:14:10.:14:11.

Mo Farah has won his final race on the track in this country.

:14:12.:14:17.

After winning gold in the 10,000 metres and silver in the 5,000

:14:18.:14:25.

metres at the World Athletics Championships in London,

:14:26.:14:27.

he has won the 3,000 metres at the Birmingham Grand Prix this

:14:28.:14:30.

Our correspondent, Joe Wilson, reports

:14:31.:14:32.

The message of being prepared to be carried this sentiment was felt

:14:33.:14:37.

inside the stadium and in the polite queue waiting to get in. He has done

:14:38.:14:43.

a lot for our country, he is a great inspiration for the youngsters. Yes.

:14:44.:14:48.

He just represents us so well, everything that Britain is. Yes, may

:14:49.:14:54.

mean you. 3000 more metres on his farewell tour. For one more time,

:14:55.:15:00.

one last time on a British track, he is there. Mo Farah will next take to

:15:01.:15:07.

the roads, he will concentrate on marathons. British athletics will

:15:08.:15:10.

look for a new figurehead and that is even tougher. He was pushed in

:15:11.:15:15.

this race, he wasn't going to lose. That nobody as saying it was ever

:15:16.:15:21.

the slightest bit easy. The final chapter. The final win for Mo Farah

:15:22.:15:27.

in Britain. I love what I do and that is part of it but at the same

:15:28.:15:32.

time, it can get harder when you have so much pressure and you cannot

:15:33.:15:36.

go anywhere. But now on the roads it will be a new game with a new mind

:15:37.:15:41.

and I am excited. He expressed anger that anyone doubts the credibility

:15:42.:15:44.

of his connection with coach Alberto Salazar. His reputation is clean.

:15:45.:15:52.

And there is no time to deny it. But this era has to be over.

:15:53.:16:00.

Tottenham were beaten 2-1 by champions Chelsea

:16:01.:16:02.

The stadium will be the temporary venue for Spurs' home games

:16:03.:16:07.

while their new stadium is being constructed.

:16:08.:16:09.

But it wasn't the most auspicious start.

:16:10.:16:11.

Spurs are on their way to Wembley, as they will be every couple of

:16:12.:16:18.

weeks or so. Build their new ground, this is home and they had decorated.

:16:19.:16:21.

The last visitors were Chelsea in the FA Cup semifinal, The Blues one

:16:22.:16:29.

that and should have gone one up, but then Marcos Alonso is a left

:16:30.:16:32.

back and still fancied this free kick. Everyone could why. Simply

:16:33.:16:37.

unstoppable. Spurs played at Wembley in the Champions League last season

:16:38.:16:41.

without much success. They needed something to settle them, they

:16:42.:16:44.

needed Harry Kane and he needed some luck. Totten and held the thread but

:16:45.:16:48.

offered strangely little threat until Michu bacteria scored one for

:16:49.:16:54.

them. Some might want to cling on to the drop but not the champions,

:16:55.:16:59.

Marcos Alonso, up from the back, winning at Wembley often takes a

:17:00.:17:03.

trophy home, Chelsea will just take the points. Patrick Kerry, BBC News.

:17:04.:17:05.

Great Britain have won the gold medal at the European Eventing

:17:06.:17:08.

They had the lead going into the final showjumping event

:17:09.:17:11.

and went on to secure the gold medal.

:17:12.:17:13.

The British rider Nicola Wilson also won an individual bronze medal.

:17:14.:17:16.
