:00:30. > :00:32.When I looked at his injuries, they were severe.

:00:33. > :00:34.I was actually quite emotional at that point because I knew

:01:27. > :01:50.Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at six.

:01:51. > :01:55.Four Moroccans have appeared in court in Spain.

:01:56. > :01:57.They're suspected of being part of the Islamist cell which planned

:01:58. > :02:00.and carried out the attacks in and around Barcelona last week.

:02:01. > :02:03.15 people were killed and more than 100 injured.

:02:04. > :02:06.The four men are the only surviving members of a group of 12.

:02:07. > :02:11.In court, one of them admitted that a bigger attack was being planned.

:02:12. > :02:14.There are reports tonight that the four have just been charged

:02:15. > :02:22.From Spain, our correspondent Tom Burridge reports.

:02:23. > :02:24.One by one, they were led into a high-security prison

:02:25. > :02:31.They are suspects in a plot, linked to attacks which killed 15

:02:32. > :02:41.This morning, they were driven in for questioning in a closed

:02:42. > :02:47.Taken there in his hospital pyjamas, Mohamed Houli Chemlal.

:02:48. > :02:50.The 22-year-old was badly injured when an alleged bomb factory blew up

:02:51. > :02:57.Here, police found 120 gas canisters as well as explosives.

:02:58. > :02:59.Investigators believe the terror cell was planning

:03:00. > :03:08.Also in court this morning, Mohammed Aalla, said to be the owner

:03:09. > :03:11.of the Audi A3 used in the attack in the coastal resort of Cambrils.

:03:12. > :03:14.A speed camera clocked four of the attackers as they drove

:03:15. > :03:21.to Paris in that very car, the week before the attacks.

:03:22. > :03:24.And this man's passport was found in the van,

:03:25. > :03:35.The driver of the van, Younis Abuyaqoob, was shot

:03:36. > :03:40.dead by police yesterday in countryside outside Barcelona.

:03:41. > :03:44.This new video shows police raids in Ripoll on the night

:03:45. > :03:49.The town is where the Imam, Abdelbaki es Satty, is thought

:03:50. > :03:51.to have driven young men to carry out violent jihad.

:03:52. > :03:54.One of the suspects apparently admitted to the court

:03:55. > :03:57.that he and his accomplices were plotting a much bigger attack

:03:58. > :04:00.than the one here on Las Ramblas and they planned to use bombs.

:04:01. > :04:03.The buzz of everyday life in Barcelona goes on,

:04:04. > :04:07.past the mountain of tributes for lives lost, young and old.

:04:08. > :04:13.Tom Burridge, BBC News, in Barcelona.

:04:14. > :04:16.Among the terrible stories that emerged after the attacks in Spain,

:04:17. > :04:18.there have been those of kindness and bravery as well.

:04:19. > :04:23.British tourist Harry Athwal has been called a hero

:04:24. > :04:26.after he rushed to help a child on Las Ramblas,

:04:27. > :04:28.ignoring police who were shouting at him to move to safety.

:04:29. > :04:30.Adina Campbell has been speaking to him.

:04:31. > :04:32.Like thousands of other holiday-makers, Harry Athwal didn't

:04:33. > :04:38.expect to see the horror of last week's terror attack in Barcelona.

:04:39. > :04:41.But he found himself rushing towards one of the victims.

:04:42. > :04:46.In the middle of Las Ramblas was the body of a child,

:04:47. > :04:48.and that automatically drew me to that child.

:04:49. > :04:51.At that point, I knew what I had to do.

:04:52. > :04:55.Many of us have seen the picture of you crouching

:04:56. > :05:05.I was afraid for the boy at that point.

:05:06. > :05:09.When I looked at his injuries, they were severe.

:05:10. > :05:12.I was actually quite emotional as well,

:05:13. > :05:13.because I knew straight away

:05:14. > :05:16.that this boy had to be seven or eight years old,

:05:17. > :05:22.And like I said, due to the injuries, I was quite upset.

:05:23. > :05:25.But the first thing I tried to do was to check his pulse

:05:26. > :05:30.and because of the nature of the injuries, I didn't want to move him.

:05:31. > :05:32.His hair was similar to my son's hair.

:05:33. > :05:36.It was a bit shorter than my son's now, but the hair was the same.

:05:37. > :05:44.It was brown, beautiful, thick brown hair.

:05:45. > :05:48.I said a little prayer as well, in Punjabi.

:05:49. > :05:53.I'm just a common man, same as anybody else.

:05:54. > :05:59.These situations are recurring more and more often.

:06:00. > :06:02.Now we have to stand up and be counted.

:06:03. > :06:08.It's difficult to digest what you've been through.

:06:09. > :06:14.I look at that picture and it takes me straight back.

:06:15. > :06:19.Harry Athwal, speaking to our correspondent, Adina Campbell.

:06:20. > :06:24.President Trump has announced that he's sending more troops

:06:25. > :06:26.to Afghanistan to fight the resurgent Taliban.

:06:27. > :06:28.It represents a reversal for the President who,

:06:29. > :06:30.whilst campaigning, had called for a quick withdrawal

:06:31. > :06:32.from a conflict which he'd called a "total disaster".

:06:33. > :06:34.Washington is expected to send an additional 4,000

:06:35. > :06:43.They'll join around 8,000 who have already been deployed there.

:06:44. > :06:46.But together, that's still far fewer than in 2011,

:06:47. > :06:47.when 100,000 US troops were in Afghanistan.

:06:48. > :06:57.Our North America Editor Jon Sopel reports.

:06:58. > :07:04.Donald Trump loves being a crowd and throughout the campaign, he gave his

:07:05. > :07:09.audiences the promise to pull US forces out of Afghanistan force but

:07:10. > :07:13.a gigantic waste of money and American blood, he said. So this

:07:14. > :07:18.speech was going to take a bit of navigating, because above the sound

:07:19. > :07:25.of the band playing Hail to the chief was the screeching noise of a

:07:26. > :07:32.U-turn. My original instinct was to pull out, and historically, I like

:07:33. > :07:38.following my instincts. But all my life, I've heard that decisions are

:07:39. > :07:41.much different when you sit behind the desk in the Oval Office. But

:07:42. > :07:45.what this flip-flop means in practical terms is hard to assess.

:07:46. > :07:49.The president wouldn't say how many additional troops he would send, nor

:07:50. > :07:53.commit to how long they would be there. The mission would be judged

:07:54. > :07:57.by results, not timelines. He called the policy strategic realism, and it

:07:58. > :08:05.was summed up thus. We are not nation-building again. We are

:08:06. > :08:08.killing terrorists. Some of his harshest words were aimed at the

:08:09. > :08:12.Pakistani government, whom he accused of harbouring terrorists

:08:13. > :08:16.while taking billions of dollars in US aid. And although Kabul may be a

:08:17. > :08:20.long way from Charlottesville, recent events in Virginia were

:08:21. > :08:24.clearly in his mind when he said this. Loyalty to our nation demands

:08:25. > :08:31.loyalty to one another. Love for America requires love for all of its

:08:32. > :08:37.people. When we open our hearts to patriotism, there is no room for

:08:38. > :08:45.prejudice, no place for bigotry and no tolerance for hate. More than

:08:46. > :08:48.2000 US troops have already lost their lives in Afghanistan, and the

:08:49. > :08:51.president would have liked nothing more than two announced their

:08:52. > :08:56.withdrawal. But the strategic importance of not letting

:08:57. > :09:00.Afghanistan fail as a state again means that Donald Trump have had to

:09:01. > :09:04.sign his name to a policy that means there is now an open-ended

:09:05. > :09:08.commitment to the US remaining. Although Donald Trump has tried to

:09:09. > :09:12.dress this speech up as marking a significant shift in policy, the

:09:13. > :09:17.most striking thing about it is the sense of continuity with the Obama

:09:18. > :09:21.White House. And one other thing. Now that this major policy

:09:22. > :09:27.announcement has come on this is Donald Trump's war in Afghanistan.

:09:28. > :09:32.Not Barack Obama's, not the generals'. He now has ownership of

:09:33. > :09:35.something he never wanted to buy. Jon Sopel, BBC News, Washington.

:09:36. > :09:37.Live now to Secunder Kermani, who's in the Afghan capital,

:09:38. > :09:48.President Trump says he is sending more troops. What has been the

:09:49. > :09:52.response? The Afghan president Ashraf Kearney has welcomed the

:09:53. > :09:56.announcement. He said that it shows that America would stand with

:09:57. > :09:59.Afghanistan until the end. Security in Afghanistan has been

:10:00. > :10:03.deteriorating. The government here only controls about 60% of the

:10:04. > :10:08.country, and there had been fears that if President Trump had ordered

:10:09. > :10:12.a complete withdrawal of American forces, that would have been in

:10:13. > :10:16.another boost for the Taliban. Mr Trump's comments on Pakistan and his

:10:17. > :10:21.tough stance on Pakistan is another thing that has gone down well here.

:10:22. > :10:25.Afghan security services have long claimed that Pakistan is supporting

:10:26. > :10:29.the Taliban and have asked for more to be done to crack down on these

:10:30. > :10:34.so-called safe havens for militants. Those comments by President Trump,

:10:35. > :10:38.though, have been met with anger in Pakistan, where the authorities have

:10:39. > :10:42.consistently denied any role in supporting militant groups. The

:10:43. > :10:45.Taliban, for their part, have issued a statement vowing to continue the

:10:46. > :10:46.fighting. Secunder Kermani, thank you.

:10:47. > :10:50.The former boss of the retail chain BHS, Dominic Chappell, is to be

:10:51. > :10:53.prosecuted by the Pensions Regulator for failing to provide information

:10:54. > :11:00.BHS went into administration last year, causing 11,000 people

:11:01. > :11:03.to lose their jobs and leaving a ?571 million

:11:04. > :11:10.Let's go live now to our business correspondent, Emma Simpson.

:11:11. > :11:23.It is. This saga is far from over. You join me at what used to be BHS's

:11:24. > :11:26.flagship store on Oxford Street. You might be able to make out a huge

:11:27. > :11:32.curtain covering up the refurbishment work inside. But

:11:33. > :11:35.today, what has been revealed that Dominic Chappell has been summoned

:11:36. > :11:41.to appear before Brighton Magistrates' Court next month for

:11:42. > :11:45.failing to provide information and documents without a reasonable

:11:46. > :11:50.excuse. The pension regulator wants this material because it still

:11:51. > :11:54.pursuing Mr Chappel over whether he avoided his responsibilities to the

:11:55. > :12:02.BHF pension scheme. Back in February, Sir Philip Green finally

:12:03. > :12:07.stumped up 363 million pounds to settle his case with the regulator.

:12:08. > :12:11.Remember, he sold BHS to Mr Chappell. The enforcement action

:12:12. > :12:14.against Mr Chappell is still continuing and although he has

:12:15. > :12:18.previously maintained that this big black hole in the pension scheme

:12:19. > :12:23.wasn't his fault. So if he is convicted on these specific

:12:24. > :12:28.technical charges, he will face an unlimited fine. So the tale of BHS

:12:29. > :12:29.has yet to run its full course. Emma Simpson, thank you.

:12:30. > :12:33.Rescue workers on the Italian island of Ischia say they've

:12:34. > :12:36.pulled three children, including a seven-month-old baby,

:12:37. > :12:38.alive from the rubble of their home after an earthquake

:12:39. > :12:42.It hit the holiday island off the coast of Naples, killing two

:12:43. > :12:53.Minutes after the earthquake, dazed survivors escape their ruined homes.

:12:54. > :12:57.Around them, in a blizzard of dust, buried cars and rubble-strewn

:12:58. > :13:02.streets, several buildings in Casamicciola collapsed.

:13:03. > :13:06.Rescuers worked frantically to get to those buried.

:13:07. > :13:10.Here, the faint sounds of a baby crying and,

:13:11. > :13:17.after some careful digging, a small miracle.

:13:18. > :13:27.His brothers, though, were still missing.

:13:28. > :13:29.The earthquake struck as people were sitting down

:13:30. > :13:35.The homes of some 2,000 residents were damaged.

:13:36. > :13:39.TRANSLATION: The house is destroyed, we can't even get in.

:13:40. > :13:42.Falling masonry remained a threat as the emergency services

:13:43. > :13:54.Both of little Pascale's brothers were found alive,

:13:55. > :13:59.Others, though, are counting the cost of a terrifying night.

:14:00. > :14:09.Four Moroccans appear in court in Spain in connection

:14:10. > :14:13.with the terror attacks that killed 15 people.

:14:14. > :14:19.As the new Bake Off prepares for take off on Channel 4,

:14:20. > :14:22.we look at TV's dramatically changing landscape.

:14:23. > :14:30.Almost job done for Celtic in their quest to reach the group

:14:31. > :14:32.stage of the Champions League, as they look to knock out

:14:33. > :14:45.Ford has become the latest car company to launch a scrappage

:14:46. > :14:51.They say the move will help cut air pollution.

:14:52. > :14:54.Customers with cars made before 2010 will be offered ?2,000

:14:55. > :15:00.Unlike schemes by BMW and Mercedes, Ford will accept petrol

:15:01. > :15:06.But with the scheme only running until December,

:15:07. > :15:08.some are questioning whether it's also about boosting sales.

:15:09. > :15:11.Our transport correspondent, Richard Westcott, reports.

:15:12. > :15:23.Well, one way is to smash up millions of older, dirtier cars.

:15:24. > :15:30.Ford's become the latest and biggest firm to offer a scrappage scheme,

:15:31. > :15:34.offering ?2,000 to crush an old vehicle, if you buy a new one.

:15:35. > :15:36.Some people will look at this cynically and say,

:15:37. > :15:37.well, sales are down, you're only offering

:15:38. > :15:40.this for four months, it's only ?2,000 scrappage scheme,

:15:41. > :15:42.this is about selling more cars, isn't it?

:15:43. > :15:45.Well, it really is anything but a cynical marketing ploy

:15:46. > :15:47.because I could spend my money on much more efficient

:15:48. > :15:55.Annabel's 11-year-old car would qualify for the scheme and,

:15:56. > :15:58.like many others, she wants to upgrade to something

:15:59. > :16:05.I feel guilty every time I drive, really, knowing that, you know,

:16:06. > :16:17.It would have to be something like ?10,000 to make me really go

:16:18. > :16:22.for it and it would have to be for an electric or a hybrid car.

:16:23. > :16:28.Ford sells more cars than any other company in Britain.

:16:29. > :16:31.The Fiesta is the most popular model, so that's why it's

:16:32. > :16:33.significant that they have now come up with a scrappage scheme,

:16:34. > :16:36.but it's only going to last four months initially.

:16:37. > :16:38.The company's talking about perhaps a few thousand dirty cars

:16:39. > :16:40.being scrapped and taken off the roads.

:16:41. > :16:46.There are 19 million in total, so can it really make a difference?

:16:47. > :16:50.Critics say scrappage schemes aren't targeted enough

:16:51. > :16:53.on the most polluted areas, but sensing a bargain, showroom

:16:54. > :16:59.My daughter is thinking about changing her car

:17:00. > :17:02.and currently her car's not going to be worth the value that

:17:03. > :17:05.I think it's a good contribution to getting

:17:06. > :17:10.I think some people may think it's not enough,

:17:11. > :17:17.After months of speculation about a possible Government

:17:18. > :17:20.scrappage scheme, it's now the car makers who are taking

:17:21. > :17:23.the initiative, but not yet on a scale to dent

:17:24. > :17:37.The US Navy says divers searching for ten American sailors, missing

:17:38. > :17:39.since their warship collided with a merchant tanker

:17:40. > :17:40.near Singapore, have found human remains.

:17:41. > :17:42.They were discovered in sealed compartments

:17:43. > :17:45.of the USS John S McCain, which was nearing port yesterday

:17:46. > :17:49.The impact tore a hole in its side and flooded an area

:17:50. > :17:55.More than 70,000 people have signed a petition calling on the Government

:17:56. > :17:58.to spend more on transport outside of London and the South

:17:59. > :18:03.It emerged earlier this year that more than half of England's annual

:18:04. > :18:05.?32 billion transport budget is spent in the capital.

:18:06. > :18:08.The former Chancellor, George Osborne, says a northern

:18:09. > :18:10.powerhouse rail network connecting Liverpool to Hull

:18:11. > :18:17.Our north of England correspondent, Fiona Trott, reports.

:18:18. > :18:27.Leeds is the UK's largest legal and financial centre outside London.

:18:28. > :18:36.But could it be better connected to boost northern businesses?

:18:37. > :18:40.This online gambling company is one of Leeds' biggest employers.

:18:41. > :18:43.50% of the people we spoke to said the commute was just too difficult,

:18:44. > :18:45.even 40 or 50 miles away, so improving transport

:18:46. > :18:47.links, particularly rail, would really help our business.

:18:48. > :18:50.Today the former Chancellor says a high-speed link between Liverpool

:18:51. > :18:54.Well, if the Government is serious about building

:18:55. > :19:10.a northern powerhouse, it needs to commit to high-speed

:19:11. > :19:13.links between the northern cities, so we bring those cities together

:19:14. > :19:15.and then the whole of the north will be stronger than

:19:16. > :19:18.The Government has recognised the problem.

:19:19. > :19:20.It launched the Northern Powerhouse Project just three years ago

:19:21. > :19:22.and is determined to improve transport across the north,

:19:23. > :19:25.actually so we can see our economy grow as that northern powerhouse,

:19:26. > :19:28.This is what the Government is planning already.

:19:29. > :19:31.HS2 would connect London with Birmingham and then Crewe

:19:32. > :19:37.An HS3 project would improve journey times across the Pennines,

:19:38. > :19:39.from Liverpool to Leeds and then possibly onto Hull.

:19:40. > :19:42.It could cut the 40-mile journey from 48 minutes to 26 minutes

:19:43. > :19:44.and the 90-minute journey between Liverpool and Leeds

:19:45. > :19:48.George Osborne believes the northern economy will be transformed

:19:49. > :19:51.by investing ?7 billion in the rail infrastructure, but what do

:19:52. > :20:00.If you've got a good train service, with the potential of getting work

:20:01. > :20:02.elsewhere, but it's still in good travelling time, I think it's

:20:03. > :20:10.I'm not sure the powerhouse is a concept I really believe in,

:20:11. > :20:13.in terms of it, but I think individually the cities in the north

:20:14. > :20:20.No good arguing about it and carrying on, get it done, I say.

:20:21. > :20:24.People here want all politicians to look beyond London.

:20:25. > :20:27.That's why any campaign for future investment in rail or road can't

:20:28. > :20:29.come soon enough for towns and cities across the north.

:20:30. > :20:37.There's a big night ahead for the England women's rugby team.

:20:38. > :20:39.The defending champions take on France in Belfast in

:20:40. > :20:41.the semi-finals of the Rugby World Cup.

:20:42. > :20:44.If they win, they face New Zealand or the United States on Saturday.

:20:45. > :20:45.Our sports correspondent, Katherine Downes.

:20:46. > :21:01.You might be able to hear the shouts and cheers and see the flags flying.

:21:02. > :21:07.The first semi-final of the evening is well into the second-half. The

:21:08. > :21:10.USA taking on the might of the four-time world champions, New

:21:11. > :21:14.Zealand. It has been a good game. A tight game. It's going the way you

:21:15. > :21:18.would expect. New Zealand leading that one 23-12 at the moment and on

:21:19. > :21:22.course for the final. Who will meet them there? On paper it should be

:21:23. > :21:29.England. They are the defending world champions. They are the Six

:21:30. > :21:33.Nations Grand Slam winners and three easy wins so far in this tournament.

:21:34. > :21:38.In France they face their toughest test yet. France have won two of the

:21:39. > :21:47.last four Six Nations title and they know the English game better than

:21:48. > :21:52.anybody else. The English coach has named his strongest line-up yet as

:21:53. > :21:56.England go for back-to-back World Cup finals and defend their world

:21:57. > :22:01.title. It would be the fitting finale to this World Cup to see the

:22:02. > :22:04.two best teams in the world, England and New Zealand, going head-to-head

:22:05. > :22:07.inned a showdown final at the end of this World Cup and at the end of

:22:08. > :22:11.what's already been a standout summer for women's sport. Katherine,

:22:12. > :22:15.thank you. It was a BBC hit for years, but next

:22:16. > :22:19.week the Great British Bake Off will appear for the first time

:22:20. > :22:21.on Channel 4. There was uproar last year

:22:22. > :22:23.when the broadcaster poached the show in a multi-million pound

:22:24. > :22:25.three year deal. But as our media editor Amol Rajan

:22:26. > :22:28.reports, the television landscape is changing dramatically

:22:29. > :22:30.and the Bake Off brouhaha may well Nobody wants to be

:22:31. > :22:42.the first person to leave. Great British Bake Off,

:22:43. > :22:44.poached from the BBC The winner of the 2015

:22:45. > :22:47.Great British Bake Off is... This is what they

:22:48. > :22:50.want to recreate... ..watched by 13 million

:22:51. > :23:00.people on BBC One. Channel 4 paid a reported

:23:01. > :23:02.?75 million for three years. According to the man who ran both

:23:03. > :23:05.Channel 4 and the BBC, Bake Off Personally, I think Channel 4

:23:06. > :23:10.were out of their minds. Buying a show like that,

:23:11. > :23:12.using a cheque book to buy a ready-made BBC show,

:23:13. > :23:14.the most popular show on British television,

:23:15. > :23:16.it's not what Channel 4 It's there to be a nursery

:23:17. > :23:21.for talent and ideas. The Islamic State is the state

:23:22. > :23:27.of the Muslims and we are responsible for making

:23:28. > :23:28.it grow, flourish. Though a public broadcaster,

:23:29. > :23:32.Channel 4 is commercially funded and believes only big audiences can

:23:33. > :23:35.generate the revenues necessary It's not going to jump,

:23:36. > :23:40.they can't jump. The competition for eyeballs

:23:41. > :23:45.has become ferocious. Four of the five biggest

:23:46. > :23:47.companies in the world - Google, Apple, Facebook and Amazon -

:23:48. > :23:49.are moving dramatically Meanwhile, streaming services,

:23:50. > :23:58.like Netflix and Disney, are investing billions in original

:23:59. > :24:00.programming to broadcast directly to hundreds

:24:01. > :24:04.of millions of customers. Technological innovation

:24:05. > :24:07.is changing both the supply On the supply side, the choice

:24:08. > :24:12.for audiences is greater than ever. In terms of demand, many young

:24:13. > :24:14.viewers increasingly consume TV across multiple devices,

:24:15. > :24:16.ignore TV schedules and, in some cases, don't

:24:17. > :24:24.own a television at all. ARCHIVE: Finally, we

:24:27. > :24:32.across the country would come together to watch a limited

:24:33. > :24:34.range of channels. That still happens,

:25:17. > :25:20.on Nickelodeon or even watching Food Network,

:25:21. > :25:21.Good Food. To quote the late Sir Bruce Forsyth,

:25:22. > :25:23.television is today While broadcasters from the BBC

:25:24. > :25:27.to Channel 4 compete ever harder for the flagship shows that can
