:01:54. > :01:54.Egyptian Christians had gathered to celebrate one
:01:55. > :02:02.But this Palm Sunday brought violence.
:02:03. > :02:04.The first deadly explosion was during mass at St
:02:05. > :02:08.George's Church in Tanta, leaving blood everywhere,
:02:09. > :02:15.Just hours later there was another attack here,
:02:16. > :02:22.This time just outside the church, the dead included police officers

:03:21. > :03:25.And the response to that has always been quite gracious,
:03:26. > :03:32.And I pray this continues, because if we get into a spiral
:03:33. > :03:35.of violence more and more people will get hurt.
:03:36. > :03:38.Egypt's government says the latest attacks are another failed attempt
:03:39. > :03:44.to destroy national unity by causing religious tensions.
:03:45. > :03:46.But Coptic Christians, grieving once again,
:03:47. > :03:50.say much more needs to be done to make them feel safe

:04:14. > :04:19.Thank you very much for joining us. Tell us more about this state of
:04:20. > :04:24.emergency. Wendy you expect it to come into force and how do you think
:04:25. > :04:29.it will work? I think it comes into force immediately. How it actually
:04:30. > :04:33.works is a question that is as yet unanswered. I am not sure what the
:04:34. > :04:39.precise stipulations are going to be. The government is able under a
:04:40. > :04:42.state news and see to do a number of different things. It's not clear
:04:43. > :04:46.what they are going to do. -- a state of emergency. There has not
:04:47. > :04:50.been any discussion around, for example curfews. They could easily
:04:51. > :04:57.implement that but so far it hasn't been raised. There are different
:04:58. > :05:00.effects that apply to the legal code but, as yet, it doesn't seem to be
:05:01. > :05:07.entirely clear what they are going to change from what the status quo
:05:08. > :05:10.is. What do you think will need to change to protect the 9 million
:05:11. > :05:16.Coptic Christians in the country? There are two things. First, I think
:05:17. > :05:20.it's about protecting Egyptians en masse, not just Coptic Christians,
:05:21. > :05:24.because the whole country is at risk of militant attacks from terrorist
:05:25. > :05:30.groups. What is specific that these attacks today is that they targeted
:05:31. > :05:32.the Christian community, in particular, in Tanta and Alexandria,
:05:33. > :05:41.and that comes after the declaration earlier this year of an increased
:05:42. > :05:46.targeting of Christians in Egypt by Isis, by Daesh. I think that's
:05:47. > :05:49.likely to continue. They've been singled out for targets by these
:05:50. > :05:55.radical groups. Having said that, I'm not sure what can be done in
:05:56. > :05:59.order to completely defend against such activities taking place. We saw
:06:00. > :06:04.in Westminster that it's impossible to completely eliminate the risk of
:06:05. > :06:10.terrorism. We've seem in Stockholm and other places around the world.
:06:11. > :06:14.The question that remains is, particularly when it came to Tanta,
:06:15. > :06:17.there are questions relating to whether or not there was a security
:06:18. > :06:25.breach that was a result of some sort of failure within the system.
:06:26. > :06:29.The head of security in that area, where Tanta is located, was
:06:30. > :06:34.dismissed by the state today. That seems to indicate that some sort of
:06:35. > :06:37.breach had taken place. With Alexandria, that's very different.
:06:38. > :06:42.There was a huge security presence and seven police officers, men and
:06:43. > :06:46.women, died as a result of their efforts to try and keep the suicide
:06:47. > :06:50.bomber out of the church. They succeeded in doing that but they
:06:51. > :06:54.lost their lives in the process and other people were killed at the end
:06:55. > :06:57.of the day, there are certain things you can do security wise to minimise
:06:58. > :07:03.the risk of attacks, but very little that I think you can do to
:07:04. > :07:04.completely obliterated the risk of attacks. Thank you very much for
:07:05. > :07:12.your thoughts. 20,000 people have gathered
:07:13. > :07:14.in central Stockholm for a "lovefest" vigil to remember
:07:15. > :07:16.the victims of Friday's Swedish police say the Uzbek suspect
:07:17. > :07:19.was facing deportation and had expressed sympathy
:07:20. > :07:35.with extremists groups. Talented, compassionate and caring,
:07:36. > :07:40.Chris Bevington in the words of his father. He chose to marry and to
:07:41. > :07:45.call Sweden home. He had young children and worked for the music
:07:46. > :07:49.company Spotify. He was here, in Stockholm's crowded shopping streets
:07:50. > :07:53.on Friday afternoon when a hijacked truck was turned into a weapon. A
:07:54. > :07:58.Belgian, and to Swedish citizens were also killed. Today,
:07:59. > :08:04.investigators revealed more about the man they think was at the wheel.
:08:05. > :08:08.We know the suspect showed sympathies for extremist
:08:09. > :08:15.organisations, says the police chief. Among them, Islamic State. He
:08:16. > :08:19.is a 39-year-old from Uzbekistan, although he hasn't been officially
:08:20. > :08:23.named. He was on the security services' radar but they say he was
:08:24. > :08:26.a marginal figure. His application to stay in Sweden was turned down
:08:27. > :08:31.last summer and police were looking for him because he had avoided being
:08:32. > :08:34.deported. This is where the truck ended up, smashed against a
:08:35. > :08:38.department store window. People have been coming to write messages of
:08:39. > :08:39.hope and defiance on the boards, and they have been more tributes to the
:08:40. > :08:51.victims, too. Just yards away, a vigil, a chance
:08:52. > :08:58.to share feelings and try and make sense of them. Sadness, anger, fear
:08:59. > :09:03.of what might happen next. Quite emotional. I'm very sad, very angry,
:09:04. > :09:05.but at the same time it's quite wonderful how people come together.
:09:06. > :09:14.We stand here in solidarity, not just with those in Stockholm, but
:09:15. > :09:19.around the world, with everyone. We need to feel the love and that we
:09:20. > :09:23.are together in this and not afraid. There is pride as well in the
:09:24. > :09:27.response so far. Spontaneous applause. Home's police officers and
:09:28. > :09:37.a challenge to those who threaten the way of life here. -- some
:09:38. > :09:42.spontaneous applause for Stockholm's police officers. This is a good
:09:43. > :09:46.picture of how Sweden reacted. A display of multiculturalism,
:09:47. > :09:47.kindness and tolerance, things which people recognise could now face a
:09:48. > :09:49.threat. The US Secretary of State,
:09:50. > :09:51.Rex Tillerson, has criticised Russia for failing to prevent last week's
:09:52. > :09:53.poison gas attack Mr Tillerson did not accuse Moscow
:09:54. > :09:57.of involvement in the attack but he said he would discuss
:09:58. > :09:59.Russia's international obligations on chemical weapons when he visits
:10:00. > :10:05.the country on Tuesday.He also clarified there is no change
:10:06. > :10:10.in the US policy towards Syria. I think the President was very
:10:11. > :10:13.clear in his message This strike was related
:10:14. > :10:16.solely to the most recent, horrific use of chemical weapons
:10:17. > :10:21.against women, children and as the President
:10:22. > :10:24.said, even small babies. The strike was a message to Assad
:10:25. > :10:29.that your multiple violations of agreements at the UN and under
:10:30. > :10:32.the Chemical Weapons Charter in 2013, that those would not go
:10:33. > :10:39.without a response in the future and we are asking Russia
:10:40. > :10:43.to fulfil its commitment and we are calling on Assad to cease
:10:44. > :10:47.the use of these weapons. Other than that, there is no
:10:48. > :10:53.change to our military. David Willis is in
:10:54. > :11:04.Washington for us. The US Secretary of State not
:11:05. > :11:14.exactly trying to smooth a path ahead of his visit to Moscow, easy?
:11:15. > :11:17.-- is he. Harsh criticism of Russia following the chemical weapons
:11:18. > :11:22.attack last week, none of it harsher than that from the United States and
:11:23. > :11:25.from the US Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson. He went back to
:11:26. > :11:31.criticising Russia today on the Sunday talk shows. Particularly
:11:32. > :11:36.saying that Russia was complicit, if you like, although he didn't go
:11:37. > :11:41.quite that far, in this chemical weapons attack, by failing to see
:11:42. > :11:47.through the commitment it gave to the international community to lead
:11:48. > :11:51.to the ending of the chemical weapons programme in Syria. As far
:11:52. > :11:55.as that was concerned, Mr Tillerson said that Russia was either
:11:56. > :12:00.incompetent or outmanoeuvred. He is due to visit Moscow in the next few
:12:01. > :12:05.days, and he said he will be pressing Russia to live up to that
:12:06. > :12:08.commitment it gave to the international community, and he will
:12:09. > :12:12.also be urging Russia to re-examine its current relationship with the
:12:13. > :12:18.administration of Bashar al-Assad in Syria. The next few days, that
:12:19. > :12:22.meeting could also illuminate the sort of relationship the United
:12:23. > :12:27.States will have with Russia going forward. It's almost expansionary,
:12:28. > :12:35.just a few weeks ago, when he was first taking office, it looked as
:12:36. > :12:38.though, as far as the Trump administration was concerned, that
:12:39. > :12:41.Syria wasn't really America's problem, that China might turn out
:12:42. > :12:48.to be the enemy of Russia the friend. A few weeks later, a lot of
:12:49. > :12:53.that has changed, it seems. We also hear the winds of change from
:12:54. > :12:55.another President Trump's top advisers, his national security
:12:56. > :13:01.adviser, who was on one of the Sunday morning chat shows. He said
:13:02. > :13:05.with regards to Syria that the restriction will try and change the
:13:06. > :13:12.Assad regime and destroy Isis in Syria at the same time. That's a
:13:13. > :13:15.massive shift in policy. Yes, although it's been tempered slightly
:13:16. > :13:21.by remarks made by Tillerson. They are more or less in lockstep, these
:13:22. > :13:24.administration officials, but there is some daylight between their
:13:25. > :13:27.stances on these things. The American stance as far as Syria is
:13:28. > :13:32.concerned, administration officials are keen to point out that that
:13:33. > :13:37.remains unaltered, namely that American involvement in Syria is
:13:38. > :13:43.chiefly aimed at rooting out and destroying so-called Islamic State
:13:44. > :13:48.and, once that's achieved, then they plan to coordinate with the
:13:49. > :13:52.international community and seek to engineer the removal of Bashar
:13:53. > :13:58.al-Assad. But they are making the point that the cruise missile attack
:13:59. > :14:03.launched by America a couple of days ago was a one-off, and it doesn't
:14:04. > :14:06.change the basic policy, as far as the US is concerned in Syria.
:14:07. > :14:10.According to US media reports, Donald Trump's deputy
