:00:17. > :00:20.They were cut down by in 18 tonne lorry and many women and children
:00:21. > :00:27.are among the dead. Running for their lives,
:00:28. > :00:29.thousands flee in panic People were running
:00:30. > :00:35.everywhere screaming, no one understood what's going on,
:00:36. > :00:39.until the gun shooting, at that moment we understood
:00:40. > :00:57.it is something serious. The driver is shot dead at the wheel
:00:58. > :01:05.but only after causing carnage along a mile long stretch of road. The man
:01:06. > :01:09.in the cab is now known to be a 31-year-old French Tunisian will
:01:10. > :01:10.stop tonight, the British tourists caught up in the chaos say they are
:01:11. > :01:12.lucky to be alive. All we could think of afterwards was
:01:13. > :01:14.how lucky we hadn't been... Because as we made our way back
:01:15. > :01:18.up to the promenade, Who's made the cut at

:02:02. > :02:12.of France, the scene of a major This is the promenade is anglais,
:02:13. > :02:16.running right along the seafront. It was a scene of utter chaos and
:02:17. > :02:21.carnage, more than 80 people are now dead. 18 tonne lorry ploughed into
:02:22. > :02:25.crowds of people who had gathered along a mile long stretch of the
:02:26. > :02:31.road to celebrate France's national day, Bastille Day. Many of them had
:02:32. > :02:38.just enjoyed a fireworks display over the scene. Behind the white
:02:39. > :02:42.barriers where the lorry came to a stop and the front window was shot
:02:43. > :02:43.out by police marksman when they shot the driver.
:02:44. > :02:46.Tonight more than 50 people are believed to be
:02:47. > :02:54.We will have the very latest on the investigation and we will talk to
:02:55. > :02:55.some of those who are lucky to be alive, having survived the attack.
:02:56. > :02:57.Our Correspondent Lucy Williamson has our first report.
:02:58. > :03:05.It contains images you may find distressing.
:03:06. > :03:17.They dared to celebrate freedom. And paid with fear. Each lovers,
:03:18. > :03:27.partygoers and children. Hunted with the most mundane of weapons, a
:03:28. > :03:30.lorry. It arrived as the fireworks were ending, crawling onto the
:03:31. > :03:37.promenade before picking up speed and heading straight for the crowd.
:03:38. > :03:42.Its first appearance caught on camera by this man. Up until this
:03:43. > :03:48.very moment here, the truck actually didn't run over anybody, yet there
:03:49. > :03:52.was a motorcyclist trying to approach the truck, trying to open
:03:53. > :03:58.the door while driving. He failed and fell off the motorcycle. And
:03:59. > :04:02.then there were two police officers standing right here at that very
:04:03. > :04:11.corner and they fired two gunshots at the driver of that truck. Up
:04:12. > :04:19.until then, the rampage took place. The vehicle accelerated and ran in a
:04:20. > :04:26.very odd way, right into the middle of the crowd. What's happening?
:04:27. > :04:28.What's wrong? It is exact for more than a mile through the street party
:04:29. > :04:40.as people ran. -- it zig-zagged. Bodies were falling like skittles,
:04:41. > :04:44.one witness said. Another saw parents throwing their children over
:04:45. > :04:55.fences to try and keep them safe. GUNFIRE
:04:56. > :05:01.The police surrounded the car and they kept shooting him until they
:05:02. > :05:03.were sure he was dead. I saw him dead already, I've saw his head
:05:04. > :05:11.outside the window of the truck. Again, the French police officer,
:05:12. > :05:15.when he saw me standing up and filming, he came to be aggressively
:05:16. > :05:18.and yelled at me to get down, get down. And for all the people on the
:05:19. > :05:21.beach to run, because maybe they thought there was a bomb in the car
:05:22. > :05:28.or other people hiding inside the truck from behind. At that moment, I
:05:29. > :05:36.realised that this is really something wrong and I started to run
:05:37. > :05:45.with the people. TRANSLATION: In the cabin there was an automatic weapon,
:05:46. > :05:51.bullets, eight clash can of, M16s, a grenade, a mobile phone that is
:05:52. > :05:56.still being investigated. And various documents. French officials
:05:57. > :06:01.say the driver was a local man, a 31-year-old French Tunisian known to
:06:02. > :06:08.police for petty crimes. Today, the only figures on Lees's empty scene
:06:09. > :06:12.fronts was forensics team, picking their way through the debris of
:06:13. > :06:16.grief. France was just begin to feel safe again after the attacks last
:06:17. > :06:21.year, safe enough even to come out and celebrate being French. But as
:06:22. > :06:26.people ran, screaming, down the street, last night, the sound of
:06:27. > :06:29.gunfire mimicking fireworks, that moment of national pride and
:06:30. > :06:37.national unity became once again an individual race to survive. Imad
:06:38. > :06:40.said he froze when he saw the lorry and then ran towards the beach.
:06:41. > :06:46.Above the screams, he heard the lorry's engine just behind him, his
:06:47. > :06:51.path ahead blocked by a bench. And then when I jumped over the bench, I
:06:52. > :06:59.found myself... I jumped onto a woman, she was laying on the ground.
:07:00. > :07:02.I just closed my eyes and waited for the crash. Either to crush me or to
:07:03. > :07:07.survive. I was feeling I was going to die, I was feeling really, really
:07:08. > :07:12.scared. I didn't know what to do, but I gave up on that moment. Until
:07:13. > :07:22.I saw the bench breaking up, it was too loud and scary. I looked at it
:07:23. > :07:26.and I found it destroyed. It was a really, really close. The thing that
:07:27. > :07:30.was between me and the truck was a small bench. The French president
:07:31. > :07:35.arriving in Nice Mac today, described the attack as a
:07:36. > :07:41.monstrosity. Of the 200 people injured, he said 50 watts hovering
:07:42. > :07:48.between life and death. TRANSLATION: We are facing a long battle because
:07:49. > :07:55.we are facing an enemy who will continue to hate all the peoples,
:07:56. > :08:01.the countries, who enjoy liberty, who put liberty as the essential
:08:02. > :08:04.value. The flowers blooming on the barricades mark a particular kind of
:08:05. > :08:10.pain, the slow knocking torture of French values. Attacks that
:08:11. > :08:16.highlight the price of freedom, the failure of fraternity and that
:08:17. > :08:21.brutal equaliser, death. Lucy Williamson, BBC News, Nice.
:08:22. > :08:31.Our correspondent Andrew Plant is outside the hospital where many
:08:32. > :08:41.Many of them are still in a critical condition tonight? Of the 30,000 or
:08:42. > :08:47.so people watching the fireworks in Nice last night... INTERFERENCE many
:08:48. > :08:52.remain in hospitals in Nice. At the moment the death toll is at 84. I am
:08:53. > :08:57.very sorry, we are having problems with that line. We will try and get
:08:58. > :09:02.back to him when we can. As we have heard, this lorry travelled for
:09:03. > :09:06.about a mile before it was the driver... The driver was killed. It
:09:07. > :09:10.came from that direction and ended up the hype that white type falling
:09:11. > :09:13.behind me and many people are wondering how the driver continued
:09:14. > :09:23.for so long, ploughing into people and leaving so much carnage behind.
:09:24. > :09:30.It was supposed to be a night of celebration that ended in confusion,
:09:31. > :09:33.chaos and carnage. The attack started at 11pm local time as
:09:34. > :09:38.thousands of families strolled home after a night of fireworks. The
:09:39. > :09:42.lorry was heading east along the promenade is anglais and picked up
:09:43. > :09:45.speed on a rampage that was to last for more than a mile. Within
:09:46. > :09:50.minutes, the first casualties were reported. The driver began to swerve
:09:51. > :09:58.from side to side, trying to kill as many people as possible. He then
:09:59. > :09:59.careered into the pedestrian area. Armed police opened fire but
:10:00. > :10:08.couldn't stop him. Armed police opened fire,
:10:09. > :10:10.but couldn't stop him, as he continued to plough
:10:11. > :10:12.through the crowd. Eyewitnesses say he was travelling
:10:13. > :10:14.at around 50 mph. You can see the Promenade des
:10:15. > :10:19.Anglais just behind the famous Hotel Negresco at the
:10:20. > :10:21.bottom of this street. By this point, several
:10:22. > :10:23.minutes into the attack, he had already killed dozens
:10:24. > :10:26.of people and it was to be 300 or 400 more metres that way before
:10:27. > :10:29.he was finally stopped, Finally, further down the promenade,
:10:30. > :10:36.using heavy fire, police managed to stop the lorry and kill
:10:37. > :10:39.the driver, as people fled in panic. Matthew, from Kingston upon Thames,
:10:40. > :10:41.had been on what was meant to be a dream holiday
:10:42. > :10:46.with his girlfriend. Today, he knows they
:10:47. > :10:48.are lucky to be alive. There was a lady in front of us
:10:49. > :10:51.on a scooter, with her kids, She wasn't trampled,
:10:52. > :10:54.but there were people People were picking
:10:55. > :11:03.up kids and running, and the kids were crying,
:11:04. > :11:05.as you can imagine. People didn't really
:11:06. > :11:07.know what was going on. This was not a high-tech attack,
:11:08. > :11:10.but the brutality and the banality of the method make it
:11:11. > :11:12.all the more terrifying. Well one of the British couples
:11:13. > :11:28.caught up in last night's mayhem was Paul and Rebecca Gordon,
:11:29. > :11:30.from the Midlands. They'd come to Nice for a holiday
:11:31. > :11:33.with their 18-month-old daughter. And they've been speaking
:11:34. > :11:38.to our correspondent Tom Burridge. Rebecca and Paul are on holiday
:11:39. > :11:40.in Nice with their 18-month-old And they had walked along
:11:41. > :11:45.the promenade, back to their hotel, just moments
:11:46. > :11:52.before the attack. Because we were on the fourth floor,
:11:53. > :11:54.I could see pretty much I just turned to my left
:11:55. > :12:00.and I just saw the whole road He just accelerated at a faster
:12:01. > :12:04.speed than he had approached And he hit...
:12:05. > :12:13.Everyone. I saw that the truck bounced, which
:12:14. > :12:18.must have been... And I saw people being
:12:19. > :12:25.knocked, like skittles. You came running and said,
:12:26. > :12:28."look what's happened". I came out and there were just
:12:29. > :12:35.people on the floor, just dead. Today is about coming
:12:36. > :12:40.to terms with what happened. There were a lot of families there,
:12:41. > :12:43.a lot of teenagers, I noticed. There was a lot of young lives lost,
:12:44. > :12:47.a lot of young lives. We're safe.
:12:48. > :12:58.You know, everything's OK. There are phone calls
:12:59. > :13:01.to loved ones back home. And reflection about the wider
:13:02. > :13:06.issues at hand. It's very easy to
:13:07. > :13:10.tarnish one religion. It's nothing to do
:13:11. > :13:18.with religion, this is people that want to get their way,
:13:19. > :13:21.their terror across. They are just using
:13:22. > :13:26.religion as their tool. I have to say, coming out into Nice,
:13:27. > :13:30.I admire the people here, because everybody is just out in the street,
:13:31. > :13:35.getting on with life. Tonight is the last night
:13:36. > :13:37.of their holiday, their But they know they
:13:38. > :13:42.were the lucky ones. They saw, but survived,
:13:43. > :13:54.a night of horror in Nice. Well, today, detectives have been
:13:55. > :14:00.examining every detail of the scene here in Nice for evidence
:14:01. > :14:02.of the killer's It's the third major terror attack
:14:03. > :14:06.in France in less than two years. Our security correspondent
:14:07. > :14:18.Frank Gardner has on the latest Against a perfect Riviera backdrop,
:14:19. > :14:21.the grisly investigation has begun. French crime scene officers have
:14:22. > :14:27.been piecing together the final moments of last night's attack. What
:14:28. > :14:29.of the perpetrator? Named as Tunisian born Mohamed Lahouaiej
:14:30. > :14:34.Bouhlel, he is believed to have lived in this apartment building in
:14:35. > :14:41.Nice. Neighbours described his behaviour as odd. If we arrived at
:14:42. > :14:46.the building behind him, he would slam the door in our faces. Frankly,
:14:47. > :14:49.not normal. Investigators have seized anything that could throw a
:14:50. > :14:58.light on why Bouhlel committed such an abominable act. He was known by
:14:59. > :15:03.the police for violence and petty theft between 2010 and 2016. He was
:15:04. > :15:09.convicted in March and sentenced by the court to six months in prison.
:15:10. > :15:16.But there was nothing to suggest any sign of radicalisation. Only
:15:17. > :15:20.yesterday, during the Bastille Day parade, it was expected that
:15:21. > :15:25.France's state of emergency would be ended. Now it has been extended and
:15:26. > :15:31.10,000 troops have been mobilised. France is clearly a top target for
:15:32. > :15:36.so-called Islamic State or IS. It has the largest number of foreign
:15:37. > :15:42.fighters in Syria and Iraq, and also, the leadership of Islamic
:15:43. > :15:53.State now includes two Frenchman who have nothing else as a desire but to
:15:54. > :15:57.hit France. Using lorries like this was a call made by IS two years ago.
:15:58. > :16:05.It has established a network of supporters in every European
:16:06. > :16:08.country. The security service here and the police anti-terror command
:16:09. > :16:12.are working closely with the French on this investigation. They are
:16:13. > :16:15.looking to see if there is any investigation that could link the
:16:16. > :16:19.attacker in Nice with anybody here. The government is reviewing its
:16:20. > :16:23.safety procedures to reduce the chances of a similar attack
:16:24. > :16:28.succeeding here in Britain. Tonight, the instrument of summoning people's
:16:29. > :16:32.death and injury has been told away. But the question remains. Can
:16:33. > :16:40.France's next terror attack be stopped? Frank Gardner, BBC News.
:16:41. > :16:42.Leaders around the world have been offering condolences to the people
:16:43. > :16:44.of France. The Prime Minister Theresa May
:16:45. > :16:46.gave this response. If, as we fear, this
:16:47. > :16:48.was a terrorist attack, we must redouble our efforts
:16:49. > :16:50.to defeat these brutal murderers, With me here, tracking every
:16:51. > :17:10.move throughout the day, Lucy, this is the third major attack
:17:11. > :17:14.in the last two years. Is there any confidence among the French people
:17:15. > :17:18.that the authorities have a handle on the terror situation? The tragedy
:17:19. > :17:24.is that that confidence was starting to come back. The November attack
:17:25. > :17:29.hit the mood hard here. There was a sense people were waiting for the
:17:30. > :17:32.next attack. Then along came the European Championships. Everybody
:17:33. > :17:35.expected an attack and it did not happen. Towards the end of that
:17:36. > :17:40.tournament, last week, people started to relax. They feel like
:17:41. > :17:44.celebrating again. On France's National Day, this happens. Many
:17:45. > :17:48.people will feel they are back to square one. The motive is important.
:17:49. > :17:59.We have to determine why this attack took place. It has the potential to
:18:00. > :18:02.set people back. Suggestions that the borders have been sealed in some
:18:03. > :18:04.places and extra security precautions have been taken as a
:18:05. > :18:06.result. As far as confidence is concerned and the mood of the
:18:07. > :18:09.people, what is that like? I think it will take a severe knock,
:18:10. > :18:15.particularly if this is confirmed to be terrorism. President Hollande has
:18:16. > :18:19.been quick to say, yes, we are sending out soldiers, reinforcing
:18:20. > :18:24.the borders, extending the state of emergency, there has been criticism
:18:25. > :18:27.over the way the intelligence services worked. Both in the lead up
:18:28. > :18:31.to the terror attacks last year and in the aftermath. There are a lot of
:18:32. > :18:32.questions people in France have about how safe the government can
:18:33. > :18:37.keep them. Lucy Williamson. A quick reminder that you can catch

:19:14. > :19:16.the new Prime Minister of the United Kingdom is to try to keep
:19:17. > :19:21.that kingdom united. And that means coming to visit
:19:22. > :19:25.a First Minister who would dearly love to take
:19:26. > :19:28.Scotland out of the union. The symbolism of this meeting
:19:29. > :19:30.is important, Theresa May demonstrating how
:19:31. > :19:34.much he cares about Scotland remaining part
:19:35. > :19:35.of the Talk about Brexit negotiations and

:20:12. > :20:16.process will be open to considering options
:20:17. > :20:19.that we bring forward. Nicola Sturgeon says
:20:20. > :20:21.she has a lot in common
:20:22. > :20:23.with Theresa May, part from their politics,
:20:24. > :20:24.of And their views on whether Scotland

:20:32. > :20:33.parliament were to vote for another independence referendum,
:20:34. > :20:36.would you allow them to hold it? Well, I think the question is,
:20:37. > :20:39.should there be another referendum? As far as I am concerned,
:20:40. > :20:44.the Scottish people had their vote. They voted in 2014 and a very clear
:20:45. > :20:47.message came through, both the United Kingdom and Scottish

:21:11. > :21:13.but it is good that It could be a show of
:21:14. > :21:16.solidarity with Scotland. Or it could be a kind of power game
:21:17. > :21:18.to make her presence felt
:21:19. > :21:21.here and assert her dominance. I think she's just trying to sweeten
:21:22. > :21:24.us, trying to keep us all together,
:21:25. > :21:27.trying to not let us go independent. Theresa May says Scotland can

:25:06. > :25:08.I'm joined now by two eyewitnesses, Harry and Florence Coath,
:25:09. > :25:17.Just take us through what happened. You were here. You were looking at
:25:18. > :25:21.the fireworks having a good time Jim McGrath Yes, we were watching the
:25:22. > :25:26.fireworks. The mood was great. Everybody was happy. Jovial. It was
:25:27. > :25:31.ridiculous how suddenly changed and the panic set in. Before that it was
:25:32. > :25:37.a lovely evening. Take us through that mood shift? We had started to
:25:38. > :25:42.walk away from the seafront where the fireworks display was. Hundreds
:25:43. > :25:47.of people around us. In about a second the atmosphere completely
:25:48. > :25:51.changed. People started screaming. Around as people started running
:25:52. > :25:56.away from the seafront. As you do when people around you start
:25:57. > :25:59.running, we began to run. There were parents with children, just grabbing
:26:00. > :26:06.them out of their buggies, shoes flying off all over the place. It
:26:07. > :26:10.was chaos. You are running, too. Yes, we joined with the crowds
:26:11. > :26:13.running. It felt like we were running for our lives. We did not
:26:14. > :26:18.have a clue what was happening. We grabbed hold of each other. We
:26:19. > :26:24.grabbed our parents as well. We ran together. We could only imagine it
:26:25. > :26:29.was a gunman terror attack. We hadn't got a clue. We started
:26:30. > :26:35.running and tried to get away. There were suggestions that people... That
:26:36. > :26:38.the truck was coming from this direction and people coming from
:26:39. > :26:44.this direction as well. You had no idea what was going on? No. We began
:26:45. > :26:51.running a way from the trot into town. -- away. As we were going into
:26:52. > :26:55.town, some people claim the other way and the immediate thought was,
:26:56. > :26:59.there must be another attack happening, which was the peak in
:27:00. > :27:03.terms of the terror. You just feel surrounded, you don't know where to
:27:04. > :27:10.go, your time to find somewhere to hide. We ended up going down a side
:27:11. > :27:14.street into the hotel and -- where we were safe for a while. It is that
:27:15. > :27:19.feeling. You don't know the threat or where it is coming from. When you
:27:20. > :27:25.eventually found out what was going on, your reaction? It was
:27:26. > :27:30.horrifying. It came through in bits and pieces. We were calling home.
:27:31. > :27:34.There were rumours that there might be an accomplice on the run. That
:27:35. > :27:38.people had been taken hostage. We didn't know what to believe, whether
:27:39. > :27:46.we were going to be safe in the hotel. Somebody said a terror --
:27:47. > :27:51.terrorist would target the hotel. We could not believe it. What are your
:27:52. > :27:54.thoughts on a? You came here on holiday. You have been caught up in
:27:55. > :28:01.this horrific incident. How has it affected you? It has disrupted our
:28:02. > :28:05.holiday but we were the lucky ones because we have got away relatively
:28:06. > :28:12.unscathed. Trauma is comparatively light. A disruptive summer holiday
:28:13. > :28:21.in the context of this is nothing. It nothing. We feel lucky. Did you
:28:22. > :28:25.think you could possibly dyed? Definitely. We all thought we were
:28:26. > :28:29.running for our lives. We did not know what was behind us. At that
:28:30. > :28:36.moment I definitely thought I could die. Thank you very much indeed.
:28:37. > :28:41.Three days of mourning have been declared here. It is a depressingly
:28:42. > :28:44.familiar declaration that the president has had to make in terms
:28:45. > :28:46.of trying to bring a country together after such a our offering
:28:47. > :28:48.event. So it's goodbye from me -
