Welcome to Outside Source. The main suspect in the Barcelona attack is

dead. The man who is thought to have driven a van into pedestrians last

Thursday was found and then shot dead in a village west of Barcelona.

This is what parts of the US have been seen, the first total eclipse

of the sun and almost 40 years. The Iraqi army says it is advancing on a

town as a major offensive against the Islamic state. The UN is warning

thousands are fleeing the city. The US Navy has ordered a worldwide

operational pause of its fleet will stop ten personnel on this destroyer

are missing after colliding with an oil tanker close to personnel...

Singapore. You can send in questions and comments, on the hashtag #BBCOS.

We have the street from Spanish police confirming what local media

have reported, the man shot dead in a village west of Barcelona is

Younes Abouyaaqoub, the author of the terrorist attack in Barcelona.

We know that this man was 22 years old and was a Moroccan national. He

was spotted by a local woman in a village called Subirats, which is

not in Oregon, that is the wrong map, it is just west of Barcelona.

This is the scene we got not long after we heard the incident was

happening. Police closed in, someone fitting the description was found

hiding near a petrol station. And after an exchange, the man was shot

dead. Let's just go back over the story. The first attack was in

Barcelona at around 5pm on Thursday, that happened in the city was

maximus Las Ramblas area, a white van mounted the pavement, and

attempted to hit as many people as possible. The driver, Younes

Abouyaaqoub, flight, and he was seen on CCTV images appeared on to

escape, but the police did not know where he had been for the last four

days. Eight hours after that attack, another attack in a seaside resort,

and the car was driven into people. Five people got out of the car, and

they were shot dead. Before that, on the Wednesday night, there had been

an explosion in another town. The police said all of that was

connected. It turns out that explosion may have been not meant to

happen, around 120 gas canisters were inside. It has been confirmed

that a local imam was killed in that explosion. It is believed eight of

the 12 attackers came from a town north of Barcelona. The theory is

that this man radicalise and recruited the group. Pure as Gavin

Lien Barcelona. The terror cell of 12, in the words of the Catalan

Government, they have been neutralised. The investigations go

on. We know that 11 of the 12 attackers had either been arrested

or killed. The one missing person, Younes Abouyaaqoub, was somebody who

police confirmed today was the attacker on Las Ramblas, having

driven the van and fled the scene. He stole a car as well, starving and

killing the driver, and they did not know where he was. They have had

this big search for him, and about four hours ago, they are now saying

they got a tip-off from a woman who lived in a place about 25 miles west

from here, a tiny town, she saw him outside her window. He was wearing

winter clothes in the summer, she said, and then realised he was

wearing what looked like a suicide vest. Police came and approached

him, he was hiding in the vineyards. They asked him to take off the vest

which he opened, and shouted in Arabic, and moments later, they shot

him dead. We discovered the suicide vest was fake, but the chief suspect

in the Barcelona tax is dead and the sellers neutralised. Now that

immediate threat has been removed, where are we with the political

dialogue around this incident? This is something that does not thread

back to the sequence of attacks in Europe for the last to make your

Macs. It was back to 2007, there were concerns of jihadists cells

starting to appear in parts of Catalonia. To go back a couple of

years, after the Palace attacks, there was a discussion about whether

Las Ramblas and particularly do better protection, perhaps some

street furniture blocking the traffic. Both then and now, the

Catalan Government has said they reject that, because for Las Ramblas

particularly, the president says, you cannot have a complete shield in

the region, you have to have somewhere that is open, part of the

spirit, and if the attackers would happen, it is about policing on the

streets. The fact that the imam who is said to have controlled all of

this, who died in explosion Bobby was preparing bomb attacks, which

triggered the men into action, he has leased to Belgium where he tried

to get a job as a imam where he was seen as too radical. He was

imprisoned, and police understand that he was in the next cell to one

of the Madrid bombers from the attack in 2004. This is a big

investigation. It is day two of the attack on Tal

Afar. It matters for three reasons, it is the last major population

centre in northern Iraq that IIS controls. It is also crucial to the

IS supply route from Syria. And thirdly, if it falls, it is more

evidence that IS is on the retreat. The territory marked in red is

controlled by Islamic state at the beginning of 2016. That was then,

this is now, you can see that the amount red territory, controlled by

IS, has gone down, it is under pressure. With every offensive

against IS, there are human costs. The UN is saying that 14,000 people

have had to flee Tal Afar given this latest offensive. I have been

speaking to someone from BBC Arabic on how important this is. It is one

of the last strongholds for Isis, and to defeat them from that city

and then push them back to Syria, or like cleansing Iraq from this terror

group. And that is what the Government wants to achieve. Plus,

the Iraq troops, moving forward and advancing, with the moment of the

victory, they have achieved in morsel a few weeks ago. Ten thematic

months, what is the Government saying about this one? -- Mosul took

months. They are talking about an easy task because of the treat of

Isis fighters. And also this city was like a place where most of the

foreign fighters came from abroad to fight with the terror group, and it

has become the inhabitant place where they have families. A lot of

people were living the and fled the city, so it might be an easy task

and less conjugated than Mosul. Where I released thousands of people

who are fleeing going? Mostly they went to Kurdistan, and these cities

are surrounded by many villages, and it is mostly tribal. So most of

these people will have fled to outside the city to the villages, or

somewhere in other cities. Chile's Constitutional Court has

approved a move to legalise abortions under certain

circumstances. This has already been passed by both houses of parliament,

and opposition parties had challenged the ruling, hence the

Constitutional Court getting involved. This Bill allows abortions

in the case of rape, ins if the mother's life is at risk, the foetus

will not survive a pregnancy. You will have three cases in which women

can actually have an abortion, in the case of rape, in the case of the

women's life in threatened, and if the foetus is just not going to

carry through to the end of the pregnancy. But in other

circumstances, women can, in some circumstances, go to prison?

Absolutely. The law in Chile says that you can get up to 15 years in

jail for abortion. For an illegal abortion, not in these three cases.

So that's for women and also practitioners, doctors who may help

women. So that. Carry on as it is in Chile. There is a tendency, there

are around 30,000 illegal abortions each year. They tend to use pills

that are used for ulcers, that people can buy online. Of course,

richer women and poorer women do not have that choice necessarily. This

is a significant moment for Chile. Put it in context for us, would it

have been imaginable ten or 15 years ago? Chile did have a very open

abortion policy, and a law that was passed, you could have an abortion

for medical reasons in 1931, but that was all taken away by the

military Government of General Pinochet. It is one of seven

countries in the world that had this blanket ban, so Chile is now moving

into an area where this is a real change for the region. The Vatican,

Honduras, Nicaragua, the Dominican Republic, Malta and El Salvador,

does this development in Chile at least influence those countries in

central and Southern America? There are certainly big lobbies and many

of these countries to lift or at least partially lift abortion, and

many of these countries struggle against a very strong Catholic

Church and very Conservative parties, and societies that are very

Conservative. So they will be looking at what has happened in

Chile, as will the neighbouring Argentina, for example. They are

very interested in the listing of bands, because in Argentina, it is

very partial, only in certain cases. So hopefully in the region

gradually, the -- there will be more rights for women reproductively.

Everyone in the US, including the president, has been taking time to

look up to the sky and look at the first total eclipse. It is the first

one in some parts of America for almost 40 years, he has got his

glasses on there, but another shots, the president did not use as

glasses. We will tell you all about the eclipse in a few minutes.

Prosecutors in England and Wales are being told to treat hate crimes

online as seriously as cases of face-to-face abuse. The Director of

Public Prosecutions is Alison Saunders. We are publishing today

guidance for prosecutors to make sure that they understand how to

prosecute a crime, what hate crime is come about also public facing

documents so that individuals and members of the public understand

what hate crime is. We think far too often it is an underreported crime,

people think they have to put up with low-level hate and do not

realise it is a crime. Summary documents are telling them what they

can do. They are telling them how they can report, and also what

support we will give individuals when they report a hate crime. There

is also a social media campaign launched today by the CPS which

reiterates what a hate crime is, so that people understand can convey

confidence to come forward. Mrs Outside Source left from the BBC

newsroom. The main suspect in the Barcelona attack has been shot dead

by Spanish police. He is thought to be the driver of the band that most

down crowds on Las Ramblas on Thursday. The Nigerian president has

addressed the nation after three months of medical leave in the UK.

It was his second spell of medical leave this year, but he did not

explain what his illness is. One of the most watched videos on the BBC

News app is all about a girl selling bread on the streets of Lagos, and

how she went on to become a national celebrity in Nigeria. It is one of

many stories on the new BBC Pigeon at. You can find out more about it

on the BBC website. The US Navy has ordered a worldwide operational

pause of its fleet, and this is the reason for that. It is a US

Destroyer, the John S McCain, limping to port and Singapore. It

collided with an oil tanker in the early hours of Monday, and ten US

personnel are missing. The reason for the wider enquiry is that this

is the fourth time in a year that a US Navy vessel has been involved in

an accident. This latest incident happened before dawn, east of the

Strait of Singapore, and on a more detailed map here, black squares is

the exact location of the collision. The USS John S McCain suffered

significant damage, you can see that in this image. This is the oil

tanker that was involved, a much bigger vessel. Some minor damage to

it, but no oil was leaked, we are told. The most pressing matters

finding the missing people. Our reporter has been out on the water

and Singapore, looking at that and the broader issues. What the US

Navy's public affairs department has been able to tell us is that the

ship sustained some serious damage on the port side, including to the

areas of the crew's sleeping quarters and some communications

equipment was also damaged. It is not clear how this collision

happened, however, but it took place at there, hundreds of miles away, in

one of the world's busiest shipping lanes. A quarter of the world's

trade goes through those straights and it is very congested, heavy

traffic the hourly time. This collision could not have come at a

more awkward time from the United States, in the midst of its annual

military drills with South Korea that was launched this week, and it

follows another collision with another US warship earlier this year

with a merchant vessel. All of this raises questions about how effective

the world's most powerful navy is in this part of the world. Let's pick

up on one of those points, because China has said several times at once

the US and South Korea to stop these large joint military drills, and

clearly they are not listening. Another is in progress, featuring

close to 18,000 US troops, and 50,000 South Korean troops. These

drills are annual, we should see them in the context of North Korea

and its recent intercontinental ballistic missiles. This is an 11

day long drill, it is a war game, not as big as the one earlier in the

year, but still significant. Interestingly, a lot of it will be

based on computer simulations which take place in large bunker south the

South Korean capital, Seoul. You can see people out on the streets of

Seoul going through these drills. You will not be surprised to know

that the North Koreans are not impressed, its official news agency

says it is aimed to ignite a nuclear war on the Korean peninsula at any

cost. The Chinese response is equally predictable, saying, these

drills are not beneficial to easing convents tensions and goes on to

say, more efforts on all sides to promote talks. The South Korean

president has a different idea. TRANSLATION: There is no intention

at all to heighten military tensions on the Korean peninsula, as these

drills are held annually and an Tovey of a defensive nature. North

Korea should not exaggerate our efforts to keep peace, or attempts

to worsen the situation using these efforts as an excuse. And if you're

looking for background on the tensions around the Korean

peninsula, what these drills between the South Koreans and America

involved, you can get it all online from the BBC. These joint drills

actually dates back to the mid-90 72. Now, turning to the US, and

this. The total solar eclipse, with years of build-up, and now some

people have got to see it. This is how it was viewed in madras in

Oregon, this is the path it is taking a wholly with Oregon to the

north-west of the US to like Charleston in the south-east. This

is how different places have responded to the event. I mentioned

Oregon, this is one event held, lots of people coming together at what

physical the Oregon Eclipse Festival. They were the first to get

England's, then it was Idaho. This is one picture respotted with

T-shirts for sale, and hats as well. The minute did not just obscure the

sun there, also in Kentucky. I was on air, speaking to someone the

moment the eclipse became complete. The sun is actually a thin crescent,

and before the sun was so bright, it was absolutely sweltering. Now it

has called writes down, this beautiful light, and everyone here

behind me is just anticipating the moment of totality. This is the

point of greatest eclipse, the best place to experience totality, and

you can see how quickly the light is fading. If I look up with my eclipse

glasses, there is just a tiny sliver of the summer left, we are very

close to the moment of totality. Everyone has been overjoyed and

excited for this, you can hear them screaming. People of all ages are

just in all awe, and we have now reached the moment of totality. You

can see the corona, and I have taken off my eclipse glasses now. You can

see a ring around the sun, the corona shining bright. The

temperature has absolutely dropped, it is amazing. It is really hard to

describe, but you can hear the gasps behind me. Everyone just taking this

in, screaming, shouting, my heart is pounding because it is just an

awe-inspiring moment, it reminds us that all of us here together from

different countries, different ages, all here to witness this moment. And

this is absolutely breathtaking, that corona is so bright, shining so

bright. And even though you can hear people's voices, you do not hear the

crickets any more, just scanning the horizon, it is absolutely beautiful.

Absolutely stunning. You can hear people behind the can hardly believe

it, for many it is the first, and it is my first time seeing a total

eclipse. And I have to say, even seeing that path, but now to see it

completely blocked is unlike anything else. It is amazing. Quite

a thing. Everyone there in Kentucky witnessing it, and many images from

the total eclipse online already at the BBC News website. Time for

Outside Source Business, a Chinese car company, Great Wall Motors. It

says it is interested in buying all of Fiat Chrysler, which is American.

We are told there is an appetite for more talks, if it happens, it would

be the biggest purchase by a Chinese car company. I guess the first thing

is, how far down the line have we actually got with story? Fiat

Chrysler are not officially confirming this approach, but

certainly it has got many tongues wagging today. I think the reason

for that is, because if you look at Jeep, it has a long history in the

United States, used by the Army many years ago, but it is also considers

the crown jewel of the Chrysler, the most valuable part of the company,

and the idea that a Chinese firm might be able to buy part of it, buy

it up in totality, is considered a big deal for the company because not

only does get hold of Jeep, that it potentially gets a foothold here in

the US market. And help us learn a bit more about this Chinese car

firm, how does it compare the big firms that we make the most

valuable? They are better known in China for making SUV? S -- SUVs.

Most of them are sold in China, so compare that to Jeep, not Fiat

Chrysler as a whole, which sells close to 2 million vehicles, and

gives you a sense of the scale of the difference. Argue, could this be

to you. The BBC business unit has been looking at death, and a report

from New York on the cost of dying. The deal is worth dying for? Not in

Brooklyn. In a city where land is at a premium, it may come as a surprise

that even cemeteries are pressing people out. This particular cemetery

still has room to grow, but they are also tried to maximise the space

they already have. We wanted to provide the people of Brooklyn

especially an option where they can have affordable burial in the old

neighbourhood. But at $2400 per square metre, this is some of the

priciest land anywhere in the city. It is just like buying real estate,

location, location. A plot that will bury the people, we can bury one on

top of the other, can start as low as $4500, and as high as $18,000,

depending on the location. Some people are avoiding the hefty price

tag is by cremation, something that is on the right here in New York.

But it is still leaving the question of what to do with the Ashes? This

man sources run it from around the world to make tombstones,

mausoleums, and even grave markers for pets. The further away it

reaches, that is where the cost comes in. It is expensive to bring

something in from South Africa. Very heavy, and very laborious. People

maybe cremating more, but according to him, Ashes are often left in a

closet and forgotten. You're working to create cost efficient programmes

to have people's remains buried in the cemetery anyplace where the

families can gather, have the name on a wall, because if your name is

not inscribed on that stone, you were never here. In cities around

the world, the cost of being buried as going up, as land is being used

for other things. But in a place like New York, it is hard to put a

price on being remembered. I will be back with you in a couple of

minutes. One of the biggest weather stories
