injured. And reports across the Spanish media of one attacker being | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
killed in a shoot out with police. Continuing coverage here on BBC | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
News. Hello, I'm Philippa Thomas and you | :00:00. | :00:17. | |
are watching Outside Source. Terror on the streets of Barcelona is a van | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
ploughs into a crowd in the popular tourist area of Las Ramblas. The | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
Catalan government says 13 people are dead. The police shouted at | :00:26. | :00:32. | |
everyone just to run. There was a really loud kind of crashing noise. | :00:33. | :00:37. | |
I mean, I didn't stop to look back. It was just an immediate stampede in | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
the opposite direction. Catalan police confirmed they are treating | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
it as a terror attack. Within the last hour, they have made an arrest. | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
They dismissed earlier reports that two gunmen were holed up in a bar in | :00:51. | :00:51. | |
a city. -- in the city. Welcome to Outside Source, where we | :00:52. | :01:11. | |
are continuing the BBC's live coverage of the terror attack in | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
Spain, where a van has driven into crowds, killing at least 13 people. | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
Let's recap what we know. This happened in Barcelona in the | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
north-east of Spain. In fact, if I take you closer into the city, you | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
can see that we have highlighted exactly where the attack occurred. | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
Las Ramblas is the city's famous tourist hotspot area. A white van | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
mounted the pavement and drove into pedestrians. 13 people have been | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
killed and more than 50 others have been injured. According to police, | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
the van entered the famous street from the north side. Let's see if I | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
can bring this up for you. It came in on the north side of Las Ramblas. | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
And it went at some speed down the strip, coming to a halt about | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
halfway down. To give you an idea of just how busy this area usually is, | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
we have a photo from yesterday showing it is packed, it is | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
extremely popular with tourists. Police confirmed on Twitter they | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
have arrested one person. Despite reports about this, they say there | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
is no continuing hostage situation. Police have also of a man, Driss | :02:16. | :02:23. | |
Oukabir. We understand this is the man who rented the van involved in | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
the incident. Police posting this tweet to say what is obvious to us | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
all now, this is being treated as a terror attack. Jama Anwar was in | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
Barcelona. He witnessed the attack and spoke to the BBC as the story | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
unfolded. Las Ramblas is right in the heart of the city, it is | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
jam-packed with thousands of tourists. I was about to sit down | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
for something to eat. Then I decided to walk down a bit further. | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
Literally seconds later, heard a crashing noise. The whole street, I | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
started hearing screaming. Everybody started to run so I started to run | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
in the direction people were running. Families were screaming, | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
their kids, they were taking them out of prams and started to run. | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
Within seconds, police officers were out. I noticed yesterday when I | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
arrived in the city that, you know, there is a heavy police presence. | :03:19. | :03:25. | |
Guns were out, ambulances, fire engines. You could see at the top of | :03:26. | :03:33. | |
the street, a sort of like vans. I spoke and try to get into a shop | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
because people were panicking. There was a shopkeeper who was speaking | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
and said something about a van. I try to ask him, and he said that a | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
van had driven into the crowd, and six people were very seriously | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
injured. At that point, the ambulances, fire Brigade, police | :03:52. | :03:53. | |
officers were on the scene with machine guns and guns, very quickly. | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
They were very jittery and people were panicking. And then we were | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
pushed back again and then pushed further back. The police are | :04:03. | :04:04. | |
absolutely everywhere at the moment. now via Skype is a reporter from BBC | :04:05. | :04:13. | |
Persian who is in Barcelona. I can see table behind you, you are pretty | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
near the scene. What is the situation right now? About 100m from | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
Placa de Catalunya, which is not really far away from where the | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
attack happened. The crowds were being directed out of this area up | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
until maybe ten minutes ago. It just shows what a massive population was | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
in that area. Because as we know, it is one of the most visited parts of | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
Barcelona. But panic still continues to be the mood. Because a few | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
minutes ago, the crowd suddenly got scared of something, we don't know | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
what. They started running. Behind them were police officers with guns, | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
just right behind me, following, chasing, as if there was somebody in | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
that crowd that they wanted to arrest. And then everybody | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
dissipated. And it wasn't clear where it. Did. But it just gives you | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
a sense of how worried the population is, how word gets out | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
that something is happening. And it might be just a mistake. But it | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
creates panic. There are choppers overhead in the last few others. As | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
you said, right behind here is the centre of where it all happened. And | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
there are images of police with big guns, long guns, going street to | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
street, especially in the old part of Barcelona, which is the other end | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
of La Rambla, and chasing people, making sure that every house, every | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
restaurant, making sure that the person they are chasing is not | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
there. And continuing the search. We now have reports that one person has | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
been arrested and also reports that one have been killed, it is unclear | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
which is the case. Nevertheless, the city of Barcelona, where I was about | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
seven hours ago, exactly the spot the attack happened, it has changed | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
dramatically the past few hours. It is panic and people just waiting to | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
see where it will all wrap up, when it will all wrap up. So that they | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
can go back to normal. Many people cannot reach their it is in the | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
cordoned off area. Many of the hotels are in fact in the area of | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
Las Ramblas, where it all happen. It is affecting many tourists as well, | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
as this is ongoing, both the investigation in the area that has | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
been cordoned off for the crowds to walk onto. As you have been talking | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
I have heard the sirens behind you and seen the blue flashing lights go | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
by. We only have one name so far released by the police, Driss | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
Oukabir. They say he rented the van involved. But just remind us, in the | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
last few hours, a lot of people in the city have been terribly | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
frightened because there were rumours about gun men, about a | :06:49. | :06:54. | |
possible hostage. Many, in fact, many people said that in a | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
restaurant hostage crisis is happening and it's ongoing, they | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
have big guns and there are's of them. None of this turned out to be | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
true. As you can imagine, the situation like this, not just | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
word-of-mouth but obviously on social media, things get out and | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
they are not true. They are on comfort, and it creates more fear. | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
In the population. Add to couple that with the pictures that were | :07:20. | :07:26. | |
released, many have seen them, horrifying images of people on the | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
ground, bleeding, something to be unconscious in the middle of La | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
Rambla, where thousands of people walk by, they know this spot. So | :07:34. | :07:40. | |
that adds to the feeling, the reality that this might be an | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
ongoing situation and it has not ended. There is a possibility of | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
something else happening. Hence this crowd that just ran across the | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
street a few minutes ago. Very much panicked, not knowing why they were | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
running, but they were running because somebody said something and | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
everybody followed. Thank you. I know he will bring us an eyewitness | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
report if there are any further development at the scene. We could | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
hear helicopters above your head. It is clear that security is a is | :08:06. | :08:11. | |
ongoing. Thank you very much. I also want to bring you some of the | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
reaction. The world has been watching this terror attack in | :08:15. | :08:20. | |
Barcelona. For example, another -- a number of tributes from within | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
Barcelona. The football club say they are deeply saddened by the | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
attack on our city, our thoughts with the victims, the family, the | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
people of Barcelona. Gareth Bale of Real Madrid... And then as you go | :08:31. | :08:39. | |
around the world. For example, this just brief from Melania Trump, the | :08:40. | :08:47. | |
first Lady of the United States. The Ellen show, the world of | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
entertainment as well. People all watching, people all feeling for | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
those who were caught up in this, injured, killed, traumatised by what | :08:55. | :09:00. | |
has happened and may still be an folding. We will bring you more | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
reaction and we'll keep in touch with what is happening on the | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
ground. I want to talk to Tom Burridge, our former Spain | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
correspondent. Tom, I know you were actually listening into Spanish | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
radio. There is a press conference starting right now. The head of the | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
Catalan government, Catalunya has a very devolved government with their | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
own police force, Mossos, they are leading this investigation. It has | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
literally. Begun. He said that according to solidarity amongst | :09:30. | :09:31. | |
communities, although there is nothing at this stage to link this | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
terror attack with any Islamist group at the moment, it is far too | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
early to start making that assumption or theory, even. But, you | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
know, you have Muslim groups in Spain coming out quite clearly now | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
via Spanish media and condemning this attack in the strongest | :09:50. | :09:52. | |
possible terms. The Islamic commission of Spain. In a separate | :09:53. | :09:59. | |
incident, this information is coming from a Catalan newspaper, they have | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
got a lot of journalists on the ground, they are telling us about | :10:03. | :10:09. | |
this incident in a place to the west of Barcelona, really out of the | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
city, about three kilometres. They are saying there was a shoot out | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
there. This Spanish newspaper, Catalan newspaper, saying that | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
basically that was linked earlier in the evening, people have been | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
following this story for a while now, there were reports of a police | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
officer being run down by a car. They are saying it was linked to | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
that. The car was followed to this area just outside of Barcelona and | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
there was a shoot out and one suspect has been killed. This was a | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
separate incident? Yes, we need to get across this press conference | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
happening in Barcelona and ascertain what the actual facts about this | :10:44. | :10:49. | |
incident. There is information coming from a different town called | :10:50. | :10:55. | |
Vic, that is in cars -- Barcelona, well outside of Barcelona, a car has | :10:56. | :11:01. | |
been impounded there. The mayor of that town is saying that that, by | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
now at least, that part is linked to the investigation. It might turn out | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
in a few minutes time, later in the evening, that that part has nothing | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
to do with the terror attack in the centre of Barcelona. Viewers need to | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
know that we are watching not only the centre of Barcelona, but the | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
incident on the outskirts and this one in Vickers, a town well outside | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
Barcelona. Just to get us back to the basics, it has been confirmed by | :11:28. | :11:30. | |
the police that they are looking at at least 13 deaths? I have just | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
watched a couple of videos. They are horrific. Coming from a journalist | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
friend in Spain, actually, who is in Barcelona, at least a friend of his | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
has sent him the videos. We know how quickly videos spread around these | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
days. Videos from Las Ramblas. It is just heartbreaking to see. It is | :11:48. | :11:54. | |
quite shocking scenes. You know, it looks like children are among the | :11:55. | :11:56. | |
casualties, for sure. But they are saying the official figure at the | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
moment is 13 dead, that is coming from Mossos, the Catalan police. | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
That they confirmed figure. They are saying 15 people injured, though. | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
There are various figures about how many of those people are seriously | :12:09. | :12:11. | |
injured. More than 80 have been hospitalised, that has just come | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
through. Two people have been arrested as well. I will let you | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
catch up, I know you were listening in Spanish. You were talking about | :12:19. | :12:26. | |
harrowing images coming through. I should explain to our viewers, the | :12:27. | :12:28. | |
police have said they are grateful to much of the media for not sharing | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
some of these images. Because they are of all. That message goes out to | :12:32. | :12:34. | |
the wider public now. They are awful. The -- anybody can find video | :12:35. | :12:41. | |
and share it, this is not just this attack, it was the case in Neath and | :12:42. | :12:50. | |
Paris. The police are saying that they do not want people to share the | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
videos, people have been killed and have life changing injuries. Keep | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
listening and keep us up-to-date. We are working out how many different | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
scenarios there are an folding. If you are just joining us, I want to | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
remind you of our main story. A van has driven into crowds, killing at | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
least 13 people in Barcelona in Spain and injuring 50. Well, we were | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
dust hearing 80. Tom Mark Royal is an American tourist who just arrived | :13:17. | :13:17. | |
when the attack began unfolding. This afternoon I came in on a | :13:18. | :13:27. | |
flight, and I was in a taxi just turning onto Las Ramblas. Maybe just | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
a block and a half from the town. I was just looking at the boulevard, | :13:33. | :13:39. | |
from the back of the taxi. And then I heard this group of people scream | :13:40. | :13:48. | |
at the same time. And you just don't think of this, naturally. And then I | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
looked to my left, and I saw a white van with its front looking like it | :13:53. | :13:59. | |
was broken out. And it was going. At first I thought it must be somebody | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
just working and driving, like a service vehicle. Then I realised he | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
was going entirely too fast. It looked to me as if he was going left | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
to right, hitting people at the little stands. There were people | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
shopping, basically. And all of a sudden people were just screaming | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
and running. My taxi stopped. We knew immediately, you know, | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
naturally what was happening and what was going on at that moment. | :14:26. | :14:31. | |
And we waited for a second. And my taxi driver just started saying, oh, | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
my God, oh, my God. And I was in shock. And then we just turned right | :14:37. | :14:42. | |
around the corner, because I was literally near my hotel. And I ran | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
into the hotel. And then everyone was running into any space, of | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
course, that they could find for safety. And they were coming into | :14:51. | :14:56. | |
the hotel and screaming. Interesting, I turned around and | :14:57. | :14:58. | |
they were starting to run the other way. And that was when the hotel | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
staff put me behind the front desk down on the ground. And that that | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
point I just... It just seemed so real. -- it seemed so real. They got | :15:09. | :15:16. | |
all of us together in a ballroom, just in the interim of the hotel, | :15:17. | :15:20. | |
which to me didn't feel safe at all because there was really no... There | :15:21. | :15:23. | |
was nobody and to protect the room of people. And for better or for | :15:24. | :15:29. | |
worse, I left the room and I said, just give me a room key now. They | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
gave me a key and I came upstairs. I figured I would rather be one person | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
in hundreds of rooms than hundreds of people in one room. And now I'm | :15:38. | :15:43. | |
just... I can see every body across at the other hotel, everybody is | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
just watching out of their window, watching, what now? | :15:48. | :15:50. | |
We are keeping across the story in Barcelona for you. In the last human | :15:51. | :15:55. | |
as we have heard that at least 13 have been killed, 80 hospitalised -- | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
in the last humanist. The messages of solidarity coming in from around | :16:01. | :16:03. | |
the world. I want to show you this, which is pretty important, from the | :16:04. | :16:10. | |
man of Barcelona. -- the mayor of Barcelona. A defiant message and a | :16:11. | :16:17. | |
message of gratitude to the reaction that's coming in from around the | :16:18. | :16:20. | |
world. Mariano Rajoy as well, the Spanish Prime Minister. He is saying | :16:21. | :16:25. | |
basically he is going to Barcelona committee is on his way, talking | :16:26. | :16:31. | |
about the maximum coordination to stop the perpetrators and strengthen | :16:32. | :16:35. | |
security and to think, to tend to all of those who have been affected. | :16:36. | :16:41. | |
He is talking about unity as well. I brought you a couple of reactions | :16:42. | :16:44. | |
from Barcelona football club and a Real Madrid player. Manchester | :16:45. | :16:45. | |
United... The world of sport, entertainment, | :16:46. | :16:55. | |
politics, all coming through. A current Barcelona player here. | :16:56. | :17:00. | |
You know, as we were hearing earlier from our correspondent on the | :17:01. | :17:09. | |
ground, there are still security operations going on, still | :17:10. | :17:12. | |
helicopters in the sky, sirens on the streets, people who are very | :17:13. | :17:16. | |
frightened and have been fighting for hours. Not only because of what | :17:17. | :17:19. | |
has happened with the car racing down the street, ploughing into | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
people, injuring and killing so many, but the reports there have | :17:24. | :17:27. | |
been, which the police now say are erroneous. There were reports of a | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
couple of gunmen in a bar, possibly hostagetaking. And this kind of | :17:33. | :17:39. | |
thing meant that many of the people in Barcelona, residents and all of | :17:40. | :17:41. | |
the foreign tourist, were petrified and really didn't know where to go. | :17:42. | :17:44. | |
I want to bring you another eyewitness reaction. One of those | :17:45. | :17:47. | |
who have spoken to the BBC is Shelby Mansell from Bristol in the UK. She | :17:48. | :17:51. | |
was in a market near the scene of the attack, and told us what she was | :17:52. | :17:53. | |
seeing. We were in a market, which is an Las | :17:54. | :18:03. | |
Ramblas. And we were just about to go back onto the main street. But we | :18:04. | :18:08. | |
stopped to look at some cakes in the bakery. And suddenly there was | :18:09. | :18:15. | |
screaming, and hundreds of people just swarmed towards us, screaming | :18:16. | :18:20. | |
and running. Lots of confusion. We ran into the bakery and ran up the | :18:21. | :18:24. | |
stairs to hide. As we looked out the window, people were still running | :18:25. | :18:28. | |
through the market. Hundreds and hundreds of people. Running through | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
the market. Shutters were coming down. Just lots of screaming and | :18:34. | :18:39. | |
running. And then we waited. For a few minutes, and it seemed to calm | :18:40. | :18:42. | |
down. We were told we could go up. So we went out back into the market. | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
And the second wave hit. We were told it wasn't safe and we had to | :18:47. | :18:50. | |
get back inside. The police then swept through the market with guns. | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
From where we were, we could see through the market. There were about | :18:55. | :18:58. | |
seven police officers with guns, surrounding a doorway. And then | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
that's the point where we just sort of head under the table, upstairs in | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
the bakery. And we just waited to hear. The woman said that she had | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
run off Las Ramblas and heard gunshots. Then we were there for | :19:12. | :19:18. | |
about 40 minutes, I think, hiding. And then we were told it was safe to | :19:19. | :19:21. | |
come out, but we must move away from the area. | :19:22. | :19:22. | |
I have come back to the desk where Tom Burridge, our former Spain | :19:23. | :19:28. | |
correspondent, is keeping on top of everything and simultaneously | :19:29. | :19:31. | |
reading the Spanish reports and listening to Spanish radio. Tell us | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
where we are at? We have just had a press conference at Catalonia's | :19:36. | :19:39. | |
regional government, significant devolved powers to that government. | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
They are saying 90 victims but 50 injured. I guess that is people | :19:45. | :19:47. | |
caught up in the incident, but 50 injured. So, a new grim figure I | :19:48. | :19:53. | |
guess coming out as part of that press conference will stop 15 people | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
are said to be in a very serious condition. And of course, we all | :19:58. | :20:04. | |
knew that it is 13 dead, confirmed dead, for now. Also, two people | :20:05. | :20:09. | |
arrested. And obviously we have been hearing, and it does seem that more | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
Spanish media are backing this up, that one suspect has been shot in a | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
shoot out with police in an area to the west of Barcelona city. So, | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
still in Catalonia about a couple of kilometres to the west of the city. | :20:24. | :20:26. | |
Potentially linked to the record was yellow that is what Spanish media | :20:27. | :20:30. | |
are saying. They are basically saying that it could have been | :20:31. | :20:34. | |
linked. There were reports earlier on another main avenue. Las Ramblas | :20:35. | :20:39. | |
is a big avenue, but it is mainly a pedestrian area. Traffic flows down | :20:40. | :20:42. | |
the small side roads down the side of the big Avenue. Diagonal is a | :20:43. | :20:48. | |
much more kind of traffic through fear, a big, big avenue. On that | :20:49. | :20:52. | |
avenue earlier there were reports that a police officer had been run | :20:53. | :20:56. | |
down. Spanish media are linking that policeman being run down by what | :20:57. | :21:01. | |
they are saying is a car who broke through point of control. Catalan | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
police, once this started happening, they were throwing up roadblocks all | :21:06. | :21:09. | |
over the place trying to control the flow of people and get the city into | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
lockdown. And then they are saying that this car broke through a | :21:14. | :21:17. | |
control, according to a Catalan newspaper that is a pretty | :21:18. | :21:20. | |
trustworthy source, although this is an evolving situation so some of | :21:21. | :21:23. | |
these details could end up being wrong, but at the moment they and | :21:24. | :21:34. | |
other Spanish media are backing them up and saying that there was a shoot | :21:35. | :21:37. | |
out in this area linked to the policeman being run down in the | :21:38. | :21:39. | |
centre of Barcelona, and a shoot out just outside of the city, one | :21:40. | :21:42. | |
suspect that. One suspect dead and two arrests. We have just had | :21:43. | :21:44. | |
another update to say that the figure is now 12 dead. And we said | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
50 injured. I heard 12 in the press conference on Spanish radio. That's | :21:49. | :21:52. | |
a bit confusing. It is an evolving situation. People are being treated | :21:53. | :21:56. | |
on the ground as well. They were saying 13, I heard that on Spanish | :21:57. | :22:00. | |
radio but I wasn't sure that I heard it correctly. I heard them saying | :22:01. | :22:04. | |
Paul Doswell. It seems that the figures are changing. It is a really | :22:05. | :22:13. | |
shocking incident -- I heard them saying 12 as well. Police are | :22:14. | :22:15. | |
following Leeds. We have had great MERS from the Royal household in | :22:16. | :22:18. | |
Spain. There is a statement coming out from them -- we have heard from | :22:19. | :22:23. | |
rural household in Spain. Mariano Rajoy, the Spanish Prime Minister, | :22:24. | :22:32. | |
he said that terrorists will never defeat a country that loves freedom | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
against barbarity. At 12pm tomorrow, this was coming out of the press | :22:37. | :22:42. | |
conference in Placa de Catalunya, one of the main squares in | :22:43. | :22:47. | |
Barcelona, almost an Las Ramblas, there will be one minute's silence | :22:48. | :22:52. | |
at 12pm tomorrow. And the Mayoress of Barcelona was talking about that. | :22:53. | :22:57. | |
She was coming out and saying, look, you know, Barcelona, we are proud of | :22:58. | :23:01. | |
our city, it is a diverse place and a peaceful place, normally. It is | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
proud of diversity and democracy. She said they are trying to spread | :23:07. | :23:11. | |
hate, and those people who carried out this terrible attack will not | :23:12. | :23:17. | |
succeed. Tom, keep listening, the across the developing situation. | :23:18. | :23:20. | |
Thank you very much. Just to let you know, we are going to keep you right | :23:21. | :23:27. | |
up to date with all of the stories breaking from Barcelona in the | :23:28. | :23:29. | |
security operation and we are keeping on top of the casualty list. | :23:30. | :23:35. | |
Obviously that is changing. Going to get you some other news. In the US, | :23:36. | :23:43. | |
the fallout from the violence in Charlottesville continues. A tweet | :23:44. | :23:46. | |
sent by President Trump today rather rubs salt in the wounds reopened by | :23:47. | :23:53. | |
the deaths and injuries in Virginia at the weekend. It is sad to see the | :23:54. | :23:58. | |
history and Codjo of our great country being ripped apart with the | :23:59. | :24:02. | |
removal of our beautiful statues and monuments. He was referring to the | :24:03. | :24:07. | |
age old debate over relics of the proslavery southern confederacy, the | :24:08. | :24:10. | |
side that was of course defeated in America's Civil War. That is what | :24:11. | :24:13. | |
started the trouble in Charl is full. There was an organised protest | :24:14. | :24:16. | |
at the weekend against the removal of this statute of a Confederate | :24:17. | :24:22. | |
general. There are dozens more such monuments around the country. There | :24:23. | :24:26. | |
is a map in the New York Times today which is interesting. This shows | :24:27. | :24:29. | |
just some of the places where you can see these monuments. The marked | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
in red are where statues and monuments have been removed from | :24:34. | :24:37. | |
public grounds. The marks in great where they are expected to be taken | :24:38. | :24:42. | |
down. You can see just what a big national story this is. Let's bring | :24:43. | :24:45. | |
up Anthony Zurcher in Washington for us is ever hear an outside schools. | :24:46. | :24:53. | |
Donald Trump is a very defiant wit. -- Donald Trump said a very defiant | :24:54. | :24:57. | |
wit and it seems like he is spoiling for this fight. He wants this debate | :24:58. | :25:02. | |
to be overcome by Fritz was that she is. A poll came out earlier today | :25:03. | :25:06. | |
showing that 60% of Americans actually don't mind having this that | :25:07. | :25:09. | |
use bad, the smaller minority want them removed -- by statues there. If | :25:10. | :25:13. | |
Donald Trump can change the nature of this debate into whether or not | :25:14. | :25:18. | |
that use can be on public land, I think that as a fight they are | :25:19. | :25:22. | |
willing to have -- whether or not that use. It indicates that Donald | :25:23. | :25:25. | |
Trump is coming down with both feet in favour of what the people, the | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
white nationalists were marching for on Saturday, which coming just a few | :25:31. | :25:33. | |
days after the violence in Charlottesville is pretty | :25:34. | :25:38. | |
remarkable. Anthony Zurcher, thank you for that quick update. I should | :25:39. | :25:42. | |
say that we are going to keep you well up-to-date with what is | :25:43. | :25:45. | |
happening in Barcelona. The next edition of Outside Source begins in | :25:46. | :25:49. | |
just the few minutes. Tuesday with us, we'll keep you right up to date | :25:50. | :25:53. | |
and might's moving news story. -- do stay with us. | :25:54. | :26:14. | |
Good evening. I know that some may be travelling to the United States | :26:15. | :26:20. | |
imminently to witness the solar eclipse on Sunday. Just bear in mind | :26:21. | :26:25. | |
there is some poor weather around at the moment, particularly. And | :26:26. | :26:26. |
