:00:00.:00:08.

has been confirmed as one of the dead.

:00:09.:00:13.

Julian Cadman was with his mother on Las Ramblas when the van used

:00:14.:00:16.

in the attack drove into him and dozens of the others.

:00:17.:00:23.

The dead and injured have been remembered at church services today

:00:24.:00:26.

as the authorities release more details about the plot.

:00:27.:00:31.

After finding more than 100 gas canisters at a suspected bomb

:00:32.:00:34.

factory, police say huge attacks were planned.

:00:35.:00:38.

We'll be hearing from the father of two of the attackers, who says

:00:39.:00:44.

Bangladesh suffers the worst flooding for 30 years -

:00:45.:00:48.

across South Asia millions of people are affected.

:00:49.:00:54.

We hear from the British paramedic injured while trying to help victims

:00:55.:00:57.

of the suspected terrorist attack in Finland.

:00:58.:01:01.

COMMENTATOR: The final sprint, the final chapter.

:01:02.:01:03.

The final win for Mo Farah in Britain.

:01:04.:01:07.

After his last track race in Britain, Sir Mo Farah bows out.

:01:08.:01:15.

And the legend of comedy, Jerry Lewis, dies at the age of 91.

:01:16.:01:40.

Police in Spain now believe that the men responsible

:01:41.:01:45.

for Thursday's terrorist attacks were planning a series

:01:46.:01:47.

They've released details of the investigation as it emerged

:01:48.:01:53.

that a seven-year-old British child missing since the Barcelona

:01:54.:01:55.

Julian Cadman became separated from his mother when a van

:01:56.:02:01.

was driven into the crowds on Las Ramblas.

:02:02.:02:05.

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

:02:06.:02:08.

The King and Queen of Spain joined mourners in Barcelona today

:02:09.:02:14.

to remember the 14 people who died there and in the second

:02:15.:02:17.

Our first report is from James Reynolds.

:02:18.:02:25.

The Sagrada Familia basilica - monumental, unfinished -

:02:26.:02:30.

this morning gave this city a place in which to mourn all the victims.

:02:31.:02:36.

Renato was one of the first in the queue.

:02:37.:02:39.

Because this city is a symbol of freedom.

:02:40.:02:54.

The people of Barcelona now realise that they are

:02:55.:03:08.

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

:03:09.:03:25.

The Archbishop of Barcelona asked the city to unite against fear.

:03:26.:03:32.

And he offered consolation to the bereaved.

:03:33.:03:43.

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

:03:44.:03:46.

the youngest named victim of the attack.

:03:47.:03:50.

He and his mother were together on the Ramblas

:03:51.:03:53.

He was so energetic, funny and cheeky.

:03:54.:04:01.

Always bringing a smile to our faces.

:04:02.:04:04.

We are so blessed to have had him in our lives

:04:05.:04:07.

and will remember his smiles and hold his memory

:04:08.:04:10.

The other victims include Bruno Gulotta from Italy,

:04:11.:04:16.

on holiday with his wife and two grandchildren.

:04:17.:04:19.

His family says he loved a debate and a proper sized pint.

:04:20.:04:28.

Jared Tucker from the United States was on honeymoon

:04:29.:04:30.

And tonight, Barcelona's unofficial cathedral,

:04:31.:04:38.

Before kick-off, the stadium remembered the attack victims.

:04:39.:04:47.

In tribute, the names on the players' jerseys have each

:04:48.:04:50.

been replaced by the name of this city.

:04:51.:04:54.

James Reynolds, BBC News, Barcelona.

:04:55.:04:59.

Spanish police revealed today that they believe more than 100 gas

:05:00.:05:03.

canisters found in a suspected bomb factory would have been

:05:04.:05:05.

used by the attackers to set off gas bombs.

:05:06.:05:11.

The father of two attackers shot dead by police on Friday has told

:05:12.:05:14.

the BBC he blames the imam at their local mosque

:05:15.:05:16.

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

:05:17.:05:22.

The small simple mosque in the town of Ripoll,

:05:23.:05:30.

where many of those involved in the attacks on Barcelona

:05:31.:05:32.

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

:05:33.:05:39.

written on the wall with others who contributed to mosque funds.

:05:40.:05:47.

Police are asking if this man, Abdelbaki Es Satty, the mosque imam,

:05:48.:05:50.

masterminded the attacks and led so many young men from

:05:51.:05:52.

This was his tiny flat at the top of the building in the town.

:05:53.:05:58.

His bedroom has since been emptied of everything by police.

:05:59.:06:02.

According to people at the mosque, he left two months ago to go

:06:03.:06:06.

on an extended journey to Morocco but we know from his flatmate here,

:06:07.:06:14.

who won't be filmed, and others in the town

:06:15.:06:16.

All that is left here is a small Koran in his empty bedroom.

:06:17.:06:23.

Today I spoke to the devastated father of two of the

:06:24.:06:26.

The last time I saw my youngest son, he told me, was at three

:06:27.:06:34.

o'clock on Thursday, hours before the attack

:06:35.:06:36.

He roundly blames the imam for radicalising his

:06:37.:06:45.

TRANSLATION: He took these young, impressionable minds.

:06:46.:06:54.

Messed around with their brains and now they are dead.

:06:55.:07:02.

My sons and the others, it is all the imam's fault.

:07:03.:07:06.

It is believed the imam was killed in the explosion that destroyed

:07:07.:07:13.

a bomb factory in the town of Alcanar last Wednesday.

:07:14.:07:15.

It was there that police found dozens of gas canisters,

:07:16.:07:18.

apparently primed to make three massive car bombs.

:07:19.:07:21.

But the premature explosion at the house forced the gang

:07:22.:07:23.

Destructive events like this can often tear fragile communities

:07:24.:07:30.

apart, but here in Ripoll, there is a determination that that

:07:31.:07:32.

James Reynolds is in Barcelona for us.

:07:33.:07:46.

Given the scale of what the authorities are feeling about the

:07:47.:07:51.

investigation, how certain can maybe they have got to grips with everyone

:07:52.:07:57.

who was involved? They do say they have largely neutralised the group,

:07:58.:08:02.

the network responsible for the attack here and in Cambrils, they

:08:03.:08:06.

have either arrested them why they count them among the dead. There is

:08:07.:08:11.

a problem that, two of those suspected members of network, they

:08:12.:08:17.

cannot quite work out their faith, Younis Abu-Yaqub, the man suspected

:08:18.:08:21.

of the attack on this avenue, they do not know where he is or if he is

:08:22.:08:25.

still in the country or if he has fled across the border to France and

:08:26.:08:29.

they have set up hundreds of vehicle checkpoints to look for him. His

:08:30.:08:35.

second, the preacher, possibly responsible for directing the

:08:36.:08:38.

attack, they do not know where he is and they must resolve his fate.

:08:39.:08:42.

James Reynolds in Barcelona, thank you.

:08:43.:08:45.

Bangladesh is grappling with the worst flooding for 30 years

:08:46.:08:48.

as this year's monsoon rains take a huge toll on parts of South Asia.

:08:49.:08:51.

The floods are now known to have claimed more than 700 lives

:08:52.:08:54.

and driven more than a million people from their homes.

:08:55.:08:56.

As well as Bangladesh, large parts of Nepal

:08:57.:08:58.

and India have been affected, with some areas cut off

:08:59.:09:01.

In the worst-hit areas of northern Bangladesh,

:09:02.:09:05.

food supplies are running low and the relief effort

:09:06.:09:08.

is being hampered by the extent of the disaster.

:09:09.:09:11.

Our correspondent, Sanjoy Majumder, reports from there.

:09:12.:09:17.

A third of Bangladesh is now under water.

:09:18.:09:20.

Entire villages have been washed away.

:09:21.:09:27.

There were houses, lanes, even a small playground,

:09:28.:09:40.

and I can hear the call to prayer from the village mosque

:09:41.:09:43.

Now the only way to get around is by boat and the villagers

:09:44.:09:48.

are simply trying to salvage whatever is left.

:09:49.:09:51.

When you've got nothing left, every little possession is invaluable.

:09:52.:09:57.

In this case, a mattress floating in the water.

:09:58.:10:02.

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

:10:03.:10:09.

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

:10:10.:10:16.

some clothes and blankets, but by then it was too

:10:17.:10:19.

For some, however, leaving was not an option.

:10:20.:10:29.

This woman was heavily pregnant when the flood waters rose.

:10:30.:10:32.

Delivered inside their home, surrounded by water.

:10:33.:10:42.

TRANSLATION: There was water inside our room,

:10:43.:10:43.

We put some paper on the bed and put the baby on top, to keep him dry.

:10:44.:10:52.

The rising waters are in part as a result of overflowing rivers,

:10:53.:10:55.

Bangladesh is paying the price for being downstream.

:10:56.:11:06.

There is now a sense of desperation among the survivors.

:11:07.:11:10.

Aid workers bring in supplies of fresh water and are soon surrounded.

:11:11.:11:13.

There is simply not enough to go around, leaving many

:11:14.:11:16.

People are now squeezed into every inch of dry land.

:11:17.:11:23.

And with no sign of the floods abating, they could be here awhile.

:11:24.:11:28.

Sanjay Majumder, BBC News, Kurigram, Bangladesh.

:11:29.:11:34.

A British paramedic who was injured while trying to help victims

:11:35.:11:37.

of a suspected terrorist attack in Finland has denied he's a hero

:11:38.:11:40.

and spoken of his sadness that he could not save the life

:11:41.:11:43.

Hassan Zubier is in hospital in the city of Turku in Finland

:11:44.:11:49.

after being wounded in a knife attack that killed two women.

:11:50.:11:53.

Our correspondent, Anna Holligan, has been speaking to him.

:11:54.:11:58.

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

:11:59.:12:00.

Finland's first suspected Islamist militant attack brought terror

:12:01.:12:04.

to a market square in Turku and chose women as his targets.

:12:05.:12:11.

Two days ago, Hassan was strolling on those cobbles.

:12:12.:12:13.

I heard a scream, a really heartbreaking scream.

:12:14.:12:21.

So I turned around and there was a man standing

:12:22.:12:26.

The father-of-two was stabbed multiple times as he tried

:12:27.:12:36.

to defend his girlfriend and save a stranger's life.

:12:37.:12:40.

He tried to stab me and I kicked him off,

:12:41.:12:46.

and I kicked him off and he ran away.

:12:47.:12:54.

I just felt that someone hit me on the back side of the head.

:12:55.:13:00.

And I thought, OK, something has happened, I am stabbed.

:13:01.:13:05.

I told my girlfriend to get away, run off.

:13:06.:13:10.

He then gave me, I do not know if it was one or two stabbings.

:13:11.:13:13.

I went back to the girl but her injuries were too severe.

:13:14.:13:16.

The suspect, an 18-year-old asylum seeker from Morocco who arrived

:13:17.:13:27.

in Finland last year, was shot in the leg by police

:13:28.:13:30.

An attack described by Finland's president as shocking

:13:31.:13:36.

and cowardly has been met with courage and defiance.

:13:37.:13:39.

I am not a hero, I am just a person that just can't look away.

:13:40.:13:52.

One of the greats of American comedy, Jerry Lewis,

:13:53.:14:07.

He was 91 and found fame in the 1950s after teaming

:14:08.:14:11.

They collaborated on 17 films, including The Stooge,

:14:12.:14:14.

Jerry Lewis went on to star in his own series of slapstick comedies.

:14:15.:14:19.

Jerry Lewis' goofy comedy made him the world's best paid movie star.

:14:20.:14:30.

With their visual gags, the cartoon-like nature of his films

:14:31.:14:33.

I wrote the joke thinking, wouldn't it be marvellous

:14:34.:14:41.

if the elastic face that we have, that can do so much,

:14:42.:14:45.

wouldn't it be marvellous if our bodies were elastic?

:14:46.:14:48.

So that we could do equally as much with them in animation?

:14:49.:14:51.

He was born Joseph Levitch in 1926 into a family of Jewish

:14:52.:14:54.

Following his stage debut at the age of five, he went on to play to great

:14:55.:15:01.

acclaim to audiences throughout New York.

:15:02.:15:04.

Aged just 20, he teamed up with Dean Martin.

:15:05.:15:08.

Their combination of sophistication and slapstick brought a decade

:15:09.:15:16.

of success during which they starred together in 16 films.

:15:17.:15:21.

I wouldn't lie, I wouldn't lie to you.

:15:22.:15:23.

This weekend would be a perfect time for you to come out

:15:24.:15:26.

He thrilled as a talk show host stalked by Robert De Niro

:15:27.:15:32.

The French, who considered him a genius, awarded him

:15:33.:15:42.

But it will be his manic comedy performances for which Jerry Lewis

:15:43.:15:49.

Jerry Lewis, who has died at the age of 91.

:15:50.:16:04.

With all the sport, here's Kathi Gnanasegaram

:16:05.:16:06.

Mo Farah has won his final track race in this country but has

:16:07.:16:11.

admitted that he may not compete for Great Britain again

:16:12.:16:14.

if his marathon training doesn't go to plan.

:16:15.:16:16.

Farah won a sixth World Championship gold and another silver in London

:16:17.:16:19.

earlier this month and this afternoon he won the 3,000 metres

:16:20.:16:22.

Our correspondent, Joe Wilson, reports.

:16:23.:16:28.

The message of being prepared to be carried but the sentiment was felt

:16:29.:16:32.

inside the stadium and in the polite queue waiting to get in.

:16:33.:16:35.

He has done a lot for our country, he is a great inspiration

:16:36.:16:39.

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

:16:40.:16:45.

3000 more metres on his farewell tour.

:16:46.:16:52.

One more time, one last time on a British track, he is there.

:16:53.:16:56.

Mo Farah will next take to the roads, he will

:16:57.:17:01.

British athletics will look for a new figurehead

:17:02.:17:04.

He was pushed in this race, he wasn't going to lose.

:17:05.:17:11.

Let nobody assume it was ever the slightest bit easy.

:17:12.:17:16.

The final win for Mo Farah in Britain.

:17:17.:17:22.

I love what I do and that is part of it but at the same time,

:17:23.:17:26.

it can get harder when you have so much pressure and

:17:27.:17:28.

But now on the roads it will be a new game

:17:29.:17:33.

Farah expressed anger that anyone doubts the credibility

:17:34.:17:38.

of his connection with coach Alberto Salazar.

:17:39.:17:40.

His record is clean, success unprecedented.

:17:41.:17:43.

And there is no longer time to deny it.

:17:44.:17:47.

It's time to pop out of the room if you don't want to know today's

:17:48.:17:55.

Premier League results as Match of the Day follows soon on BBC One.

:17:56.:17:58.

Wembley Stadium is the venue for Tottenham's home games

:17:59.:18:03.

in the league this season but their first match ended in a 2-1

:18:04.:18:06.

Huddersfield have made it two victories from their first two games

:18:07.:18:13.

They beat fellow newly-promoted side Newcastle 1-0.

:18:14.:18:18.

Great Britain have won the gold medal at the European Eventing

:18:19.:18:20.

They had to overtake Germany, who initially had the lead

:18:21.:18:28.

The British team took the gold once the cross country and today's show

:18:29.:18:39.

And Nicola Wilson also won an individual bronze medal.

:18:40.:18:42.

The USA have won golf's Solheim Cup with a comprehensive victory

:18:43.:18:45.

Lizette Salas beat Europe's Jodie Ewart Shadoff to secure

:18:46.:18:48.

And the Americans went on to win 16.5 points to 11.5,

:18:49.:18:52.

despite today's singles matches finishing 6-6.

:18:53.:18:58.

Details of the other stories are on the BBC sport website, including the

:18:59.:19:04.

men and women's results from the hockey championships and the latest

:19:05.:19:10.

from recycling in Spain. -- the cycling.

:19:11.:19:11.

The population of Africa is going to double to 2.5 billion

:19:12.:19:14.

in the next 30 years - a change could mean greater

:19:15.:19:17.

migration or provide a huge pool of workers to transform

:19:18.:19:19.

Of the world's ten most populous countries, Nigeria

:19:20.:19:23.

It currently has 191 million people, projected to increase

:19:24.:19:30.

That would mean overtaking the United States in

:19:31.:19:36.

In the first of a series of BBC reports this week

:19:37.:19:45.

on population change in Africa, Alastair Leithead examines

:19:46.:19:47.

how the city of Lagos - population 21 million

:19:48.:19:49.

An ever expanding mega city of more than 21 million people.

:19:50.:20:00.

Across the continent, people are pouring into towns and cities,

:20:01.:20:05.

Lagos has always had that mixed blessings of having to deal

:20:06.:20:12.

Unfortunately for us, in the last two or three years,

:20:13.:20:18.

This is what an African mega city looks like.

:20:19.:20:25.

It is crowded, it is chaotic and it is crumbling.

:20:26.:20:28.

Lagos is already struggling to house, to look after and to educate

:20:29.:20:31.

the way over 21 million people already living here,

:20:32.:20:35.

let alone the millions more that are predicted to crush

:20:36.:20:38.

But there is an incredible energy about the place and it is a matter

:20:39.:20:45.

of tapping that and using that creative thinking to turn it

:20:46.:20:48.

This festival celebrates old historic Lagos, the masquerades

:20:49.:20:54.

represent the spirits of the dead, returned to cleanse the streets of

:20:55.:20:57.

Emerging from the downtown slums is one answer to the festival's

:20:58.:21:05.

prayers, building tower blocks, building up.

:21:06.:21:12.

How are we going to accommodate all the population?

:21:13.:21:19.

This man spent 25 years as an urban planner in Los Angeles.

:21:20.:21:26.

Now, being able to use it to accommodate as much

:21:27.:21:34.

of the people in the community, has really transformed the area.

:21:35.:21:39.

It is expensive and not new, but Lagos needs a way to retrofit

:21:40.:21:44.

The government has cleared slums by force.

:21:45.:21:49.

Opponents say 300,000 people in 40 communities are now

:21:50.:21:51.

Naturally, two or three slums will spring up.

:21:52.:22:06.

They suspect it is to make way for bigger plans.

:22:07.:22:09.

Many based on luxury, waterfront living.

:22:10.:22:12.

Lagos will be a financial hub for Nigeria and the whole

:22:13.:22:15.

We are in the East End of the site and then

:22:16.:22:21.

This man has great views of the new development

:22:22.:22:28.

Lagos has to balance a modern vision against inequality.

:22:29.:22:33.

There will always remain the super-rich and there will always

:22:34.:22:35.

remain the people simply below the poverty line.

:22:36.:22:37.

But the hope is, over the next few years,

:22:38.:22:39.

you will see that gap bridged, as more people get more jobs.

:22:40.:22:43.

Nigeria's first electric railway is nearly finished.

:22:44.:22:45.

But the people keep coming and the city will need electricity,

:22:46.:22:49.

services, jobs and a better plan for them all.
