:00:00. > :00:08.Today at six we're in Brussels, where people have paused in silence

:00:09. > :00:16.to remember the victims of yesterday's bomb attacks.

:00:17. > :00:21.Belgium is observing three days of mourning after 31 people died

:00:22. > :00:27.One of the attackers at the airport was said to be working

:00:28. > :00:35.Police are still hunting for a third man seen in the images.

:00:36. > :00:38.The third suspect, wearing a light coloured coat and a hat,

:00:39. > :00:42.He left a large bag and departed before the explosions.

:00:43. > :00:46.His bag contained the biggest explosive device.

:00:47. > :00:49.There were four British people among the many injured,

:00:50. > :00:53.and another, David Dixon, is still unaccounted for.

:00:54. > :00:56.He's a lovely guy, he's an amazing man who deeply,

:00:57. > :01:05.Also on tonight's programme: Two British students are convicted

:01:06. > :01:12.of plotting a terror attack in London.

:01:13. > :01:14.They planned drive-by shootings inspired by so-called Islamic State.

:01:15. > :01:21.Their targets included police and soldiers.

:01:22. > :01:28.cover when they strike at the end of April.

:01:29. > :01:35.a new report says early warnings fell on deaf ears.

:01:36. > :01:38.And coming up in the sport on BBC News: England collapse

:01:39. > :01:41.spectacularly, but survive to beat Afghanistan by 15 runs at the World

:01:42. > :02:27.Where a rally is taking place this evening and a show of support

:02:28. > :02:29.against the attacks were 31 people died, and,

:02:30. > :02:31.where earlier today thousands gathered to observe a minute's

:02:32. > :02:33.silence to remember the victims of yesterday's bomb attacks

:02:34. > :02:37.Two of the suspected suicide bombers have been named

:02:38. > :02:39.as Khalid and Brahim el-Bakraoui, two brothers

:02:40. > :02:49.there is still a major police hunt going on for a third man.

:02:50. > :02:50.Among the hundreds injured were four Britons,

:02:51. > :02:52.and another is still unaccounted for.

:02:53. > :02:54.We'll have all the latest on the investigation

:02:55. > :02:56.into the attacks, but first our Europe editor

:02:57. > :03:01.Katya Adler reports on the day's events.

:03:02. > :03:15.Silence spoke far louder than words in Brussels today.

:03:16. > :03:38.It was screaming. In sadness for the victims of yesterday's bombings. In

:03:39. > :03:49.rage at the attackers. In fear that there will be a next time. And that

:03:50. > :03:51.next time, it could be them. But there is a strong sense here of

:03:52. > :04:04.defiance, too. Long-lived Belgium, these people

:04:05. > :04:13.shouted. But this is a country in turmoil. And on a massive manhunt

:04:14. > :04:14.for all those linked to this, yesterday's devastating bombing at

:04:15. > :04:26.Brussels Airport and on the Metro. Police say they are looking for this

:04:27. > :04:29.man. There is confusion about his identity, but it is believed he

:04:30. > :04:34.could have raised the casualties can even higher.

:04:35. > :04:38.TRANSLATION: The third suspect, wearing a light-coloured coat and

:04:39. > :04:42.hat is on the run, he left a large bag and departed before the

:04:43. > :04:47.explosions. His bag contained the biggest explosive device. Shortly

:04:48. > :04:51.after the arrival of the bomb disposal unit, the bag was detonated

:04:52. > :04:56.because of the volatility of the explosives. The other two men in

:04:57. > :05:04.this photo were suicide bombers. In the middle, UC Brahim el-Bakraoui, a

:05:05. > :05:07.Belgian national. Police have found a note in which he writes that he is

:05:08. > :05:12.under pressure and on the run to avoid arrest. Belgian media said he

:05:13. > :05:22.had recently been linked to the Paris attacks last year. This is his

:05:23. > :05:28.brother Khalid, the metro suicide bomber. Europe is worried about the

:05:29. > :05:31.attacks. Today, Belgium's Prime Minister accompanied the country's

:05:32. > :05:36.king and queen to visit some of the 260 injured yesterday. Julian Firkin

:05:37. > :05:41.was one of the lucky ones. He and his girlfriend emerged unscathed,

:05:42. > :05:47.physically at least. The second explosion happened, and at that

:05:48. > :05:51.point I jumped on top of her and grabbed her suitcase and kind of

:05:52. > :05:57.held that over the top of both of us just to protect us from the ceiling,

:05:58. > :06:01.the bits that were falling down. The commotion died down a little bit,

:06:02. > :06:07.but there was lots of screaming and people running around, and then the

:06:08. > :06:10.airport staff came running and screaming and shouting at everyone

:06:11. > :06:17.to get out of the building, evacuate, evacuate, as quickly as

:06:18. > :06:20.you can. This city is still digesting the full horror of

:06:21. > :06:23.yesterday's attacks, but on the surface at least, there is a sense

:06:24. > :06:28.of life in Brussels returning to normal. It is not that commuters

:06:29. > :06:33.here have forgotten about the attacks one day on, or that they

:06:34. > :06:37.don't care they are unaware of the warnings possible future bombings.

:06:38. > :06:41.But this is a gritty, down-to-earth city. The attitude here it is, life

:06:42. > :06:49.has to go on. People are grateful for the extra security. Life goes

:06:50. > :06:54.on. It can happen anywhere, any time. You cannot know when the next

:06:55. > :06:59.time. Maybe it is not in Brussels, maybe it is another country. You

:07:00. > :07:04.know there is a risk? There is always a risk.

:07:05. > :07:07.TRANSLATION: There is a risk, but keeping our jobs mean taking trains,

:07:08. > :07:12.and at least there are more police here now. More police, more

:07:13. > :07:17.soldiers, more security checks at train stations and across the city.

:07:18. > :07:22.Most people here tell you they refuse to be scared, but they don't

:07:23. > :07:32.feel safe. Katya Adler, BBC News, Brussels. Here are the Place de la

:07:33. > :07:36.Bourse this evening, quite a lot of singing and chanting, a lot of

:07:37. > :07:41.singing going on during the day, a lot of it expressing opposition to

:07:42. > :07:49.so-called exotics to -- so-called Islamic State, and expressing

:07:50. > :07:53.solidarity with the rest of Belgium. Other streets around Belgium are

:07:54. > :07:54.pretty quiet, some deserted, but this isn't representative of all of

:07:55. > :07:56.Russell is this evening. During the day, some

:07:57. > :07:58.of the victims' names and nationalities

:07:59. > :08:02.have begun to emerge. The first fatality to be confirmed

:08:03. > :08:04.was that of a 37-year-old daughters who are four years old,

:08:05. > :08:11.all of whom survived. Our correspondent Lucy Williamson

:08:12. > :08:13.has been following the stories of some of those caught up

:08:14. > :08:18.in yesterday's attacks. Including the missing Briton, David

:08:19. > :08:22.Dixon. Among the questions left

:08:23. > :08:24.by Tuesday's attacks is this one. What happened to British IT

:08:25. > :08:28.contractor David Dixon? After two days searching

:08:29. > :08:30.the hospitals here, his partner David left for work

:08:31. > :08:37.yesterday as usual. Maelbeek station was not

:08:38. > :08:42.far from his office. After the explosion there at 9am,

:08:43. > :08:46.Charlotte tried to reach him. 270 people from dozens of countries

:08:47. > :09:04.are now known to have been injured Inside this hospital,

:09:05. > :09:12.two British survivors lie While their relatives wait for news,

:09:13. > :09:21.in a separate part of the hospital, other families of other victims

:09:22. > :09:25.begin the grim process Among the first deaths to be

:09:26. > :09:32.confirmed was 20-year-old Leopold A law student at Saint Louis

:09:33. > :09:38.University here in Brussels. And Peruvian Adelma Tapia Ruiz

:09:39. > :09:44.who died during the airport attack. Her four-year-old twin girls

:09:45. > :09:46.survived the blast because they ran Her brother described it

:09:47. > :09:53.as incomprehensible. TRANSLATION: She had twins called

:09:54. > :09:55.Maureen and Elondra. They were in the

:09:56. > :10:02.Brussels airport too. They were connecting

:10:03. > :10:05.through to New York to meet Tonight in Brussels there

:10:06. > :10:13.is solidarity in Europe's anger But terrorism's toughest

:10:14. > :10:39.challenge is private. So, where do we stand this evening

:10:40. > :10:44.with the investigation and the continued response? Lets talk to

:10:45. > :10:49.Frank Gardner, our security correspondent, and Katya Adler who

:10:50. > :10:54.is in another part of this city. Frank, a lot of questions today

:10:55. > :10:55.about how efficient the work of the Belgian security services is. What

:10:56. > :11:06.is your view on that? You won't hear that echoed publicly

:11:07. > :11:10.by MI5, the security service over my shoulder here, but they are taking

:11:11. > :11:14.an intense interest in all of this, because memories of the London

:11:15. > :11:17.bombings are still very raw. There is no question that Belgium has got

:11:18. > :11:22.chronic problems when it comes to security. They have six different

:11:23. > :11:26.police forces spread across 19 boroughs, they speak to different

:11:27. > :11:29.languages, they have a problem when it comes to different names coming

:11:30. > :11:33.in on lists, Belgian intelligence is not sharing everything with Belgian

:11:34. > :11:38.police, and above all, they have got a problem when it comes to community

:11:39. > :11:41.policing. They simply don't have their tentacles stretched down into

:11:42. > :11:46.the communities, feeding them the kind of tip-offs that the British

:11:47. > :11:49.police and MI5 are getting here in Britain. That is not to say it

:11:50. > :11:53.couldn't happen here, but Britain has come a long way in the last ten

:11:54. > :12:00.years, and Belgium needs to catch up in the way Britain did. Frank, thank

:12:01. > :12:04.you very much. Katya Adler, when people talk about a degree of

:12:05. > :12:10.co-operation needed on a European level to address directly some of

:12:11. > :12:15.the security failures that we have seen over the past 12 months

:12:16. > :12:21.certainly, what has been said today? As far as Belgium particularly is

:12:22. > :12:24.concerned, they are hearing their Prime Minister warning of possible

:12:25. > :12:28.further attacks, and they are hearing in the media at home and

:12:29. > :12:33.abroad opportunities missed by the Secret Service is here considering

:12:34. > :12:36.intelligence. There is reference to angling Belgians, and even worse.

:12:37. > :12:42.But if the finger of blame is going to be pointed, it does really need

:12:43. > :12:46.to be pointed in all sorts of directions. In the recent terror

:12:47. > :12:51.attacks, Paris last January, Paris last November, and now here in

:12:52. > :12:53.Brussels. There have been repeated promises by secret services across

:12:54. > :12:57.the European Union that they will work better together and share more

:12:58. > :13:02.information, but the problem with secret services is they liked it

:13:03. > :13:04.keep the information secret. We are outside the European Union

:13:05. > :13:09.institution buildings where one of the bombs went off near by, and they

:13:10. > :13:16.say this was an attack on Europe and it needs much more of a European

:13:17. > :13:17.solution. Katya Adler, our Europe editor, thank you Ray Mutch, and

:13:18. > :13:20.Frank Gardner earlier. More from Brussels later,

:13:21. > :13:22.when I'll be talking to a journalist who found herself at

:13:23. > :13:35.the airport yesterday . Her images have been seen by many

:13:36. > :13:39.around the world. In the meantime, it is back to London.

:13:40. > :13:42.Here, two British students have been convicted of plotting drive-by

:13:43. > :13:44.terror attacks in London inspired by so-called Islamic State.

:13:45. > :13:46.Suhaib Majeed was convicted of conspiracy to murder

:13:47. > :13:53.The plot's ringleader, Tarik Hassane, had already pleaded

:13:54. > :13:58.Daniel Sandford has been following the case.

:13:59. > :14:11.Posing with a gun and a enlarged and book, Tarik Hassane, leader of an IS

:14:12. > :14:15.plot that targeted London. Their intention was to commit a drive-by

:14:16. > :14:20.shooting using open Ed and a firearm, targeting specifically the

:14:21. > :14:27.police, the military or members of the public industry. It was around

:14:28. > :14:31.the A40 flyover in West London that Tarik Hassane and his school friend

:14:32. > :14:37.Sahagun Majeed grew up and became supporters of violent jihad. They

:14:38. > :14:43.made their connections to the men who supplied the gun, both former

:14:44. > :14:49.altar boys. But as they finalise their plot in the summer of 2014,

:14:50. > :14:55.they were under surveillance. Majeed was watched using sophisticated

:14:56. > :14:59.encryption receiving messages from someone suspected to be in Syria,

:15:00. > :15:03.and photographed taking delivery of the gun from local criminal Neil

:15:04. > :15:06.Hamlett. He threw the pistol, silencer and bullets from his

:15:07. > :15:11.bedroom window when he was apprehended. The threat level in the

:15:12. > :15:16.UK was raised to severe, meaning that a terrorist attack in the UK

:15:17. > :15:19.was assessed as highly likely. This was one of the first time that

:15:20. > :15:24.so-called Islamic State supporters had targeted the West. It eventually

:15:25. > :15:30.led to the terrifying Paris attacks last November. So how did Tarik

:15:31. > :15:34.Hassane, who had wanted to be a heart surgeon, end up swearing

:15:35. > :15:38.allegiance to IS's his father, or possibly stepfather, is a Saudi

:15:39. > :15:43.ambassador, seen here meeting the Saudi king. The BBC has learned he

:15:44. > :15:45.was already an extremist while at his secondary school, where he was

:15:46. > :15:53.reported for calling on other boys to attack Israel. He and Majeed were

:15:54. > :15:57.part of a network of extremists from West London, at least three of their

:15:58. > :16:05.friends died fighting in Iraq Syria, and two of them were school friends

:16:06. > :16:08.of Jihadi John, Mohammed Emwazi. This was Tarik Hassane as a teenager

:16:09. > :16:12.in an anti-knife crime video. Four years later, he had been so

:16:13. > :16:17.radicalised coming he was plotting in the same streets to unleashed

:16:18. > :16:23.terror with a semiautomatic gun. Have you been to a police station

:16:24. > :16:28.before? No. Refusing to answer questions in his police interview,

:16:29. > :16:29.before eventually pleading guilty. Daniel Sandford, BBC News, at the

:16:30. > :16:31.Old Bailey. Our top story this evening:

:16:32. > :16:33.A nation in mourning - Belgium remembers the 31 people

:16:34. > :16:41.who died in yesterday's attacks. And still to come:

:16:42. > :16:43.An eyewitness to terror - the photographer who found herself

:16:44. > :16:47.in the middle of the mayhem. Coming up in Sportsday

:16:48. > :16:49.on BBC News... Formula One in crisis -

:16:50. > :16:51.Jensen Button and other drivers write an open letter to the sport,

:16:52. > :17:07.demanding change at the top. For the first time junior doctors

:17:08. > :17:09.will refuse to cover emergency care It's a dramatic escalation

:17:10. > :17:15.in the row between the British Medical Association

:17:16. > :17:16.and the Government over pay Ministers described the move

:17:17. > :17:23.as desperate and irresponsible. The BMA says other staff -

:17:24. > :17:25.including consultants - will be expected to

:17:26. > :17:29.cover A departments. This bitter dispute over working

:17:30. > :17:38.hours and pay has intensified again. For the first time in the history

:17:39. > :17:41.of the NHS, a group of doctors will refuse to provide emergency

:17:42. > :17:46.cover as well as routine care. Up to now, the strikes have affected

:17:47. > :17:49.nonurgent procedures. Their union, the BMA,

:17:50. > :17:56.says they have no alternative. It is the only way we can see

:17:57. > :18:00.of getting Mr Cameron and Mr Hunt We wish to talk, we wish them

:18:01. > :18:03.to return to negotiations and to come to some sort of adult

:18:04. > :18:08.and safe resolution. Junior doctors in England have

:18:09. > :18:11.already been on strike three times. The next planned action,

:18:12. > :18:14.starting on the 6th of April, will last 48 hours and again

:18:15. > :18:17.affect routine care. But a similar 48-hour strike planned

:18:18. > :18:21.from the 26th of April will now be between 8am and 5pm each day

:18:22. > :18:24.and affect all care, Ministers say they had to impose

:18:25. > :18:31.a contract after talks broke down, They claimed the only sticking point

:18:32. > :18:36.is the union's insistence on higher The fact is that if the BMA had

:18:37. > :18:46.agreed to negotiate about Saturday premium rates, as they said

:18:47. > :18:49.they would, it wouldn't have been The only people who will suffer

:18:50. > :18:56.will be patients. The BMA had planned a full walk-out

:18:57. > :18:59.by junior doctors affecting all forms of care at an earlier

:19:00. > :19:03.stage of this dispute, but, much to the relief of NHS

:19:04. > :19:06.management, that was called off as a new round of talks got under

:19:07. > :19:10.way Right now, though, there is no sign of further

:19:11. > :19:12.negotiations taking place, and an all-out strike by junior

:19:13. > :19:19.doctors is back on the agenda. There have been thousands

:19:20. > :19:22.of cancelled routine operations, but there has been majority public

:19:23. > :19:24.support so far for What remains to be seen

:19:25. > :19:28.is whether that continues and whether patient care

:19:29. > :19:30.is compromised when the action An independent review commissioned

:19:31. > :19:43.in the aftermath of the Rotherham child sex exploitation scandal has

:19:44. > :19:46.found that South Yorkshire Police force's response across

:19:47. > :19:48.the county was inadequate. It says early attempts to alert

:19:49. > :19:50.senior officers fell on deaf ears, though there have been

:19:51. > :19:52.improvements in recent years. As our social affairs correspondent

:19:53. > :19:54.Michael Buchanan reports, nearly 1500 youngsters

:19:55. > :19:56.were exploited over Day and night across

:19:57. > :20:04.South Yorkshire, children The police knew, but for

:20:05. > :20:11.years they walked on by. This woman was repeatedly abused

:20:12. > :20:17.in Sheffield as a teenager. They knew everything

:20:18. > :20:22.that was going on. The amount of times they had taken

:20:23. > :20:24.us from these houses where there would be men around

:20:25. > :20:29.and knew what these men were doing. Senior command lacked professional

:20:30. > :20:35.curiosity. Today we discovered why

:20:36. > :20:37.South Yorkshire Police For about a decade from 2000,

:20:38. > :20:43.a top-down culture existed. Prioritising robbery,

:20:44. > :20:44.burglary and car crime South Yorkshire Police had

:20:45. > :20:52.within its grasp on perhaps six or seven occasions an opportunity

:20:53. > :20:57.to do more than they did do. This spreadsheet that we obtained

:20:58. > :21:02.last year highlights some of the allegations that the force

:21:03. > :21:06.refused to investigate. Children being raped,

:21:07. > :21:09.beaten, trafficked. This former officer asked his

:21:10. > :21:11.superiors to allow him to investigate child

:21:12. > :21:14.sexual exploitation. Really, really frustrated

:21:15. > :21:19.by what has happened. Because it is ten, 12 years later,

:21:20. > :21:26.I still think about it. I still think, you know,

:21:27. > :21:28.what could we have done? Back then if we had learned

:21:29. > :21:31.from my report that went in, and what all the intelligence

:21:32. > :21:33.reports were saying, Because if they had it,

:21:34. > :21:41.some of these young girls' lives For South Yorkshire Police today,

:21:42. > :21:44.tackling child sexual exploitation No one has been fired,

:21:45. > :21:49.however, for past mistakes. But dozens of officers

:21:50. > :21:52.are under investigation. Young people are far more protected

:21:53. > :21:55.in South Yorkshire today But the more resources the police

:21:56. > :22:00.put towards a crime, the bigger the problem

:22:01. > :22:01.appears to get. In the past three years more

:22:02. > :22:04.than 2000 young people have been identified as potential victims

:22:05. > :22:09.of child sexual exploitation. Michael Buchanan,

:22:10. > :22:19.BBC News, Sheffield. Let's return to Huw now

:22:20. > :22:26.with the latest from Brussels. Within seconds of yesterday's bomb

:22:27. > :22:30.attacks at the airport there were images being circulated

:22:31. > :22:33.on social media of the chaotic The journalist who found herself

:22:34. > :22:37.in the departures hall, standing just a few metres away

:22:38. > :22:39.from both explosions, is Kate Kardava of Georgia

:22:40. > :22:42.Public Broadcasting, She has been here for the past seven

:22:43. > :22:50.years. The images she took in the minutes

:22:51. > :22:53.after the bombing have been seen by many millions of

:22:54. > :22:55.people around the world. I've been speaking to her about
