:00:07. > :00:17.This is BBC World News Today. Police in Spain stay terror network behind

:00:18. > :00:22.Thursday's attack was planning a much bigger atrocity. This is the

:00:23. > :00:27.scene live in Barcelona. Hundreds of candles mark the spot where the

:00:28. > :00:33.biggest attack took place. Side by side for a minute's silence, the

:00:34. > :00:38.king of Spain and the Prime Minister. Two people die and at

:00:39. > :00:44.least six others are injured in a stabbing in Finland. Police say it

:00:45. > :00:52.is not being treated as a terrorist incident. President Trump fires his

:00:53. > :01:11.chief strategist Steve Bannon. Welcome to World News Today. Police

:01:12. > :01:18.in Spain say that the Jihadist who killed 14 people in two vehicle

:01:19. > :01:21.attacks had been planning a much bigger atrocity involving

:01:22. > :01:29.explosives. The police say the plot seems to be disrupted by the

:01:30. > :01:35.explosion of a bomb factory. 13 people were killed and scores

:01:36. > :01:41.wounded yesterday when a van was driven into crowds in the centre of

:01:42. > :01:48.Barcelona. During the night, five suspected terrorists were shot dead

:01:49. > :01:52.in a coastal town of Cambrils after they drove a car into people killing

:01:53. > :01:56.one. Four people have been arrested in connection with the attacks. My

:01:57. > :02:00.colleague is in Barcelona. Across another European

:02:01. > :02:03.city touched by terror, one minute of stillness filled

:02:04. > :02:06.the space that words could not. A void with a single

:02:07. > :02:12.burning question - why? Then, as King Felipe

:02:13. > :02:15.and Prime Minister Rajoy looked on, No tinc por!

:02:16. > :02:28.No tinc por! But the previous 24 hours

:02:29. > :02:43.of violence were shocking. This, a street in the coastal

:02:44. > :02:47.town of Cambrils. A terror suspect is cornered

:02:48. > :02:50.and is wearing what police They decide there is only

:02:51. > :02:55.one course of action. The dead man was one of five

:02:56. > :02:58.who tried to mow people down All the attackers were shot

:02:59. > :03:05.by police and investigators now believe they were part

:03:06. > :03:08.of a terrorist cell of eight to 12 people,

:03:09. > :03:13.some of whom were in this house, 120 miles from Barcelona the night

:03:14. > :03:15.before, when a blast killed one It's thought explosive devices

:03:16. > :03:21.were being prepared, as well as the blueprint

:03:22. > :03:26.for Barcelona's Las Ramblas attack. Nick Mouncey and Stephanie Walton

:03:27. > :03:31.from Lincoln were caught up in the panic as a white van ploughed

:03:32. > :03:35.into the path of hundreds of people. They ran for cover

:03:36. > :03:40.into a nearby cafe. The only thing that was going

:03:41. > :03:43.through my head was the Paris, and the London attacks,

:03:44. > :03:47.where the attackers would come through restaurants and bars,

:03:48. > :03:49.shooting and stabbing people. I just thought, oh, my God,

:03:50. > :03:52.we're going to get shot, Nick, It just felt like it was

:03:53. > :03:55.never ending, wasn't it? When we turned around,

:03:56. > :03:58.on that first bang, everybody on the floor,

:03:59. > :04:00.bodies everywhere, there were kids I can't seem to shift that

:04:01. > :04:08.from my mind at all. It is absolutely heartbreaking,

:04:09. > :04:12.what people have gone through here. You run in in sheer panic and terror

:04:13. > :04:19.because you don't really understand what's happened for probably

:04:20. > :04:22.about a minute or two. And then when you see the people

:04:23. > :04:24.on the floor, you realise Police have released this

:04:25. > :04:29.image of four suspects. A young Moroccan man,

:04:30. > :04:33.Moussa Oukabir, and three others. His older brother, Driss Oukabir,

:04:34. > :04:36.was arrested yesterday. This evening, more details

:04:37. > :04:38.are emerging of the victims, Like Bruno Gulotta, who was 35,

:04:39. > :04:45.from Rome, on holiday with his wife and two

:04:46. > :04:47.young children. A little boy

:04:48. > :04:51.and girl, now left fatherless. And there are concerns

:04:52. > :04:54.for Julian Cadman, who's seven and thought to have dual Australian

:04:55. > :04:56.and British nationality. He hasn't been seen

:04:57. > :05:00.since the attack. 24 hours after the blood-letting,

:05:01. > :05:08.this is Las Ramblas. Where a few hours ago bodies lay,

:05:09. > :05:13.now there are flowers. And on the boulevard where the white

:05:14. > :05:16.van eventually crashed, So many have told us

:05:17. > :05:19.life must go on, But lives have been

:05:20. > :05:38.changed here forever. Later on we will speak to a

:05:39. > :05:43.terrorism expert. Now Finland, where police say that two people have been

:05:44. > :05:47.killed and at least seven have been injured in a stabbing attack in the

:05:48. > :05:54.city of Turku. A young man has been arrested. He is thought to be the

:05:55. > :06:00.only suspect. Authorities say they're increasing security. The

:06:01. > :06:13.European Commission president, Jean-Claude Juncker said:

:06:14. > :06:21.I spoke to a journalist from Finland who was near by when the attack

:06:22. > :06:27.happened. I asked him what he saw. I was at the bank in the central and I

:06:28. > :06:33.just saw people panicking outside the window. People running towards,

:06:34. > :06:37.after another, I don't know the reason they were doing that. When I

:06:38. > :06:46.come out I seen they were shouting, catch the terrorist. Just a few

:06:47. > :06:49.seconds later I have seen that the two ladies have been stabbed in

:06:50. > :06:54.front of bank and I just ran into one of the worst one, a little bit

:06:55. > :07:00.older lady, just around the corner from the place I was in and I tried

:07:01. > :07:06.to give her first help and at the same time tried to call the police

:07:07. > :07:11.and the ambulance. It was really chaos at that time. This was one of

:07:12. > :07:21.the people that had been attacked? Yes. Yes, then we tried to

:07:22. > :07:25.concentrate on that lady, to save her life if we can and at the same

:07:26. > :07:30.time call the police and the ambulance and then after that for

:07:31. > :07:34.after about ten minutes, the ambulance came there and tried to

:07:35. > :07:42.give her treatment and take her to hospital. So sit was very, very bad

:07:43. > :07:49.situation especially for this lady, because it was... We thought that

:07:50. > :07:53.I'm quite surprised if she survived. I know you then went to the press

:07:54. > :07:57.conference that the authorities gave. What points of information do

:07:58. > :08:05.you think stood out from what they said? Not so much. You know what we

:08:06. > :08:10.are talking about the country that has been very peaceful for a very

:08:11. > :08:19.long time. One of the best civilised countries in the world Finland and

:08:20. > :08:23.outside people in Finland are generous and civilised and they

:08:24. > :08:29.always come to help. People were shocked in every where of this

:08:30. > :08:34.country, because we thought that this might not happen. We have seen

:08:35. > :08:39.the TVs in Barcelona and in France and Belgium, but we thought Finland

:08:40. > :08:43.might be a bit different. We are not a colonised country. When I see the

:08:44. > :08:46.police today in the press conference, the things you can see

:08:47. > :08:50.from there is that everything is about the beginning. They don't want

:08:51. > :08:55.to give anything away. They don't think, they don't want to say this

:08:56. > :09:00.is terrorism or a terrorist act. The only thing we got from there is we

:09:01. > :09:06.tried to find out, there was eight people, there was nine people

:09:07. > :09:12.altogether, two has been dying and seven injured in total today. So

:09:13. > :09:19.everything is about just trying to find out what was the motives, who

:09:20. > :09:24.was this guy, why he did what he has done. Is that resulted to Barcelona

:09:25. > :09:29.or whatever it happened. That is all the questions that haven't been

:09:30. > :09:35.answered. A journalist from Finland speaking to me earlier. Now

:09:36. > :09:42.President Trump's chief strategist, Steve Bannon, is out. The white

:09:43. > :09:46.house chief strategist, who helped the president win the election is

:09:47. > :09:54.the latest to get the push. Let's get the latest from Gary O'Donoghue.

:09:55. > :10:00.We were not sure whether he was push Orde resigned, but we know now he

:10:01. > :10:03.has been fired? Yes given the big heave hoe by President Trump and

:10:04. > :10:07.speaks of speculation. Some suggestion he may have tendered that

:10:08. > :10:11.resignation a couple of weeks ago, but officially today now we know

:10:12. > :10:19.that he is out, out for a number of reasons. He made some enemies in the

:10:20. > :10:24.White House, in the national security advisor and the president's

:10:25. > :10:29.son-in-law. He had been accused by Donald Trump himself of being behind

:10:30. > :10:33.some of leaks from the White House and he has been given a bunch of

:10:34. > :10:36.unauthorised interviews, including one in which he said North Korea was

:10:37. > :10:41.a side show for the administration. That is totally at odds to what this

:10:42. > :10:46.White House thinks. Will it matter that he goes? He does represent the

:10:47. > :10:53.right of centre, the alternative right as it is sometimes called. He

:10:54. > :10:57.is accused by critics of being a neo-Nazi sympathiser, something he

:10:58. > :11:04.has denied. But he is popular with that right-wing base that helped get

:11:05. > :11:09.Donald Trump elected. The sort of poor, white, working class, voters,

:11:10. > :11:15.so his departure will not be welcomed by them. We have seen on

:11:16. > :11:20.one particular right-wing web-site, some warnings to Donald Trump that

:11:21. > :11:23.he shouldn't become a hostage to the sort of mainstream traditional

:11:24. > :11:29.Republican views, otherwise some of his base may well turn on him.

:11:30. > :11:38.Donald Trump was criticised for being slow to condemn the far right

:11:39. > :11:42.protest in Charlottesville. This isn't why Steve Bannon has been

:11:43. > :11:48.fired. There hasn't be a change of direction from Donald Trump? I don't

:11:49. > :11:50.think so, to some extent getting rid of Steve Bannon may ease some

:11:51. > :11:55.pressure on Donald Trump and lead some people to think, well, you

:11:56. > :12:01.know, he is trying to send a bit of an indication about the way this

:12:02. > :12:06.thing has been handled. But in the majority of this situation, Donald

:12:07. > :12:10.Trump has inflicted the problems on himself by coming out firstly and

:12:11. > :12:18.saying there was violence on many sides. Then appearing to sort of toe

:12:19. > :12:23.a more traditional line and condemn the neo-Nazis and then go back do

:12:24. > :12:26.his original line in that extraordinary slanging match with

:12:27. > :12:31.the press. So I don't think Steve Bannon can be blamed for what

:12:32. > :12:38.happened this week. But his departure may ease some pressure. I

:12:39. > :12:41.would be surprised if you see a massive ideological gear change as a

:12:42. > :12:45.result of his depart when you are. Because Donald Trump know what is

:12:46. > :12:55.got him elected. Thank you very much. Stay with us here on BBC world

:12:56. > :13:02.News. We have more to come, including didn't he do well? The

:13:03. > :13:06.king of British Saturday night TV entertainment has died at 89. We

:13:07. > :13:15.look back at the life of Sir Bruce Forsyth.

:13:16. > :13:21.Washington is today assessing the political health of world's most

:13:22. > :13:26.powerful man. I did have a relationship with her that was not

:13:27. > :13:31.appropriate. In fact, it was wrong. In South Africa, 97 people have been

:13:32. > :13:36.killed today in one of worst days of violence between rival black groups.

:13:37. > :13:52.Over the last ten days, 500 have died. Russia is observing a national

:13:53. > :13:57.day of mourning for the 118 who died on board the Kursk. We are with them

:13:58. > :14:04.in our hearts. The Pope has celebrated mass between two and a

:14:05. > :14:08.half million people in Poland. Stay with us, chanted this ocean of

:14:09. > :14:23.humanity. Well, well, joked the Pope, so you want me to desert Rome?

:14:24. > :14:33.Welcome to BBC World News Today. The headlines: Police in Spain say that

:14:34. > :14:39.the Jihadist behind Thursday's van attack had planned a much bigger

:14:40. > :14:45.atrocity involving knives and explosives. President Trump has

:14:46. > :14:53.fired his chief strategist, Steve Bannon. Now let's return to our top

:14:54. > :14:57.story and Barcelona is the latest European city to suffer an attack

:14:58. > :15:00.where vehicles have been used to mow down people. For the authorities,

:15:01. > :15:06.such attacks are difficult to prevent and many have been wondering

:15:07. > :15:14.what more can be done to stop them. Let's cross live to speak to a

:15:15. > :15:20.lecturer in politics and terrorism in Madrid. When it comes to this

:15:21. > :15:24.particular area of Spain, it has been known as a hotspot for this

:15:25. > :15:32.type of activity for some time. Just tell us about the area itself. It's

:15:33. > :15:40.the region which has the biggest Muslim community in Spain. It also

:15:41. > :15:45.has the highest rate of detention related to Jihadism in the latest

:15:46. > :15:50.year. And it has been known for the activity of radical preachers and

:15:51. > :16:00.very importantly of organisations which are legal like Tablic that are

:16:01. > :16:06.also known for extolling a type of ideology which is very close to

:16:07. > :16:14.violent Jihadism. Sometimes this type of organisations can act as...

:16:15. > :16:23.Fire walls for Jihadism. But sometimes they act and play the role

:16:24. > :16:27.of convoyor belts to Jihadism and Catalonia has been known for this

:16:28. > :16:32.activity. Just two years ago a number of businesses were cracked

:16:33. > :16:42.down upon for financing terrorism, money was being sent from Spain to

:16:43. > :16:45.the Middle East? Yes, there has been some detentions, arrests because of

:16:46. > :16:51.activities related to terrorism, among them the ones you described.

:16:52. > :16:55.Some years ago, there was a plot foiled in Barcelona. It is in fact

:16:56. > :17:00.the only plot that has been attempted since the terrorist

:17:01. > :17:07.attacks in Madrid on March 11th 2004, although it has been a high

:17:08. > :17:14.activity of Jihadist in Spain, very few plots, only the one that I

:17:15. > :17:17.described in 2008, which was foiled, an attempt to attack the underground

:17:18. > :17:23.in Barcelona and the one attack we have seen in the last couple of

:17:24. > :17:30.years. I know it is Arley in the investigation -- early in the

:17:31. > :17:34.investigation, but do you think it was an inspired attack by Islamic

:17:35. > :17:42.State or was there something more direct? Yes I think it is a very

:17:43. > :17:52.important issue. Because some of the media are accepting the

:17:53. > :17:57.interpretation of events from Islamic State, the body of the

:17:58. > :18:04.Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack. But we are we have

:18:05. > :18:08.to bear in mind this has occurred in the past and it has been proven

:18:09. > :18:12.there was no links to the terrorist group itself. It was basically

:18:13. > :18:19.previous terrorist attacks in Europe like in London or Berlin, they were

:18:20. > :18:24.perpetrated by individuals who were definitely inspired by this type of

:18:25. > :18:30.ideology of the Islamic State, but without any concrete link with the

:18:31. > :18:36.organisation. So in this case, the second hypothesis seems at the

:18:37. > :18:41.minute more plausible, which is that these individuals did not have

:18:42. > :18:45.direct contact or didn't follow orders from the terrorist group,

:18:46. > :18:52.which is quite weakened at the minute, the Islamic State, but they

:18:53. > :18:58.were inspired by their ideology and perpetrated this terrorist attack

:18:59. > :19:04.trying to acquire as the means fairly rudimentary as we have seen.

:19:05. > :19:10.Thank you very much for sharing your expertise. Now all the sport and the

:19:11. > :19:16.sporting world has been responding to the attacks in Barcelona. Yes on

:19:17. > :19:24.Friday, Spanish football was united in reflecting on the terror attacks.

:19:25. > :19:32.Many clubs held silences ahead of training and players will wear black

:19:33. > :19:37.arm bands this weekend. Barcelona led the tributes. The same as

:19:38. > :19:42.Madrid. And there was a front-page that say, today we cannot speak

:19:43. > :19:47.about sport. As well as black arm bands, there is a minute's silence

:19:48. > :19:57.ahead of the matches in the La Liga. Barcelona don't play until Sunday

:19:58. > :20:05.and later that day Real Madrid start their campaign. For a third time,

:20:06. > :20:14.Liverpool have turned down an offer from Barcelona for Philippe Coutinho

:20:15. > :20:21.believed to be in the region of $146 million. Liverpool say the Brazilian

:20:22. > :20:26.is not for sale. Barcelona consider Coutinho a replacement for Neymar

:20:27. > :20:33.who, left to join Paris in a record deal earlier this month. Tottenham

:20:34. > :20:43.have signed a defender Davidson Sanchez from Ajax. The Columbian

:20:44. > :20:49.will be the club's first summer signing. He will ease anxiety for

:20:50. > :20:54.fans who have been concerned about the club's lack of summer signings.

:20:55. > :21:01.The deal is subject to a medical and a work permit. Chelsea boss Antonio

:21:02. > :21:06.Conte has been speaking and laughing about Diego Costa's situation. He

:21:07. > :21:09.had told the striker he had no future at the club and since then

:21:10. > :21:13.the pair have had a bitter relationship. Antonio Conte has

:21:14. > :21:23.managed to see the funny side when asked about the striker, saying he

:21:24. > :21:34.would be treated like criminal. LAUGHTER. It's great. It's great.

:21:35. > :21:44.I'm not interested to continue this issue and I repeat, for me, he is

:21:45. > :21:49.the past. Stop. Rain stopped play on the second day of the first Test

:21:50. > :22:02.between England and the West Indies with England in control. Alastair

:22:03. > :22:09.Cook struck a double century as England declared on 514. The West

:22:10. > :22:16.Indies reply got off to bad start, losing Brathwaite for 0. But they

:22:17. > :22:26.reached 44-1 before the rain set in for the evening. In the Solheim Cup,

:22:27. > :22:32.an impressive performance from Team Europe mean they lead day one. After

:22:33. > :22:37.the foursome play, the Europeans managed a two and a half lead to a

:22:38. > :22:40.one and a half lead. Going on is the four ball and the Americans are

:22:41. > :23:08.fighting back. That is all for now. Thank you. One

:23:09. > :23:12.of Britain's best known entertainers, Sir Bruce Forsyth has

:23:13. > :23:21.died at the age of 89. He was famous for his catch phrases and his

:23:22. > :23:24.dancing. He entertained generation after generation. We will leave you

:23:25. > :23:31.with David Sillito looking back at his life.

:23:32. > :23:33.Live from London, this is Strictly Come Dancing.

:23:34. > :23:41.When it comes to TV history, Bruce Forsyth was simply

:23:42. > :23:46.Strictly Come Dancing, the last hurrah in a career that

:23:47. > :23:53.The Boy Bruce, The Mighty Atom was just the beginning of a life

:23:54. > :24:09.Business, that's exactly what he had.

:24:10. > :24:13.There are things he could call on, he could handle it.

:24:14. > :24:16.And when things went wrong, he could step in and put them right.

:24:17. > :24:24.That's when he was in his pomp, live.

:24:25. > :24:28.Sunday Night at the London Palladium in the '60s was his big break.

:24:29. > :24:32.Beat The Clock showed that he could make a game show

:24:33. > :24:34.must-watch TV and turn members of the public into

:24:35. > :24:48.And nowhere showcased the talent better than

:24:49. > :25:11.The catchphrases became part of national life.

:25:12. > :25:23.Among the tributes today, the director-general of the BBC

:25:24. > :25:26.Lord Hall said he was one of our greatest entertainers.

:25:27. > :25:32.After that, Play Your Cards Right on ITV -

:25:40. > :25:45.Well, it would be nice to see them, to see them...

:25:46. > :25:55.On Have I Got News For You he reminded TV what a pro he was.

:25:56. > :25:59.If he had a regret, it was not making it in America,

:26:00. > :26:05.in films and his main love, as a song and dance man.

:26:06. > :26:13.It'll be like The Generation Game, all right?

:26:14. > :26:16.You're never quite prepared for the end, are you?

:26:17. > :26:20.He was such a remarkable, iconic figure.

:26:21. > :26:23.There's no more remarkable in all of television

:26:24. > :26:25.history in this country, that's the kind of man

:26:26. > :26:31.He first appeared on the BBC in 1939.

:26:39. > :27:06.Hello I would like to start by telling you about our tropical storm

:27:07. > :27:10.that formed last night in the Atlantic. That is Harvey and there

:27:11. > :27:19.could be more. For Harvey, through Friday it has been moving into the

:27:20. > :27:27.wind ward islands, and for the likes of Martinique, up to 100 millimetres

:27:28. > :27:34.of water could fall and it could give large waves and currents and

:27:35. > :27:42.some damaging winds before it moves away and heads towards Mexico. Now

:27:43. > :27:46.further north we have got lumpy cloud showing a showery day on

:27:47. > :27:49.Friday across the United States and Canada. The showers will continue

:27:50. > :27:55.through Friday and into the weekend. That just poses the risk of a lot of

:27:56. > :28:00.cloud for those hoping to take in the solar eclipse on Sunday. If you

:28:01. > :28:05.have plans to go, stay tuned. The risk of wild fires is high in

:28:06. > :28:13.western Canada and the winds are not light either. This week has been

:28:14. > :28:17.dominate bed d by the floods in Sierra Leone. More rain is expected.

:28:18. > :28:22.We have had a brief respite, just a few showers. But the showers have

:28:23. > :28:29.been gathering in intensity and in area as you can see. They're not far

:28:30. > :28:34.from the Freetown area and we expect more intense rain to come about and

:28:35. > :28:42.last into next week. So that may hamper the clear up operation here.

:28:43. > :28:50.In India, to the north, where we have had severe flooding, it is at

:28:51. > :28:55.least slightly drier. The energy is making its way across central and

:28:56. > :29:00.eastern India and there are warnings for here where we think the focus of

:29:01. > :29:06.heaviest of the rain will be through the weekendment but still more rain

:29:07. > :29:10.to come down. So expect further severe flooding in places. It has

:29:11. > :29:16.been a windy end to week in south-east Australia and it looks

:29:17. > :29:22.windy to the south-west and it is windy into the weekend. A nasty area

:29:23. > :29:28.of low pressure for New Zealand will keep things unsettled and

:29:29. > :29:34.temperatures will drop as that windy weather moves in, bringing some snow

:29:35. > :29:39.to the hills. Some showers developing late on Friday and

:29:40. > :29:43.lasting into the weekend across the Alps could give problems for Poland

:29:44. > :29:49.and Germany. It is hotting up in the south through the weekend and next

:29:50. > :29:51.week. Cooler further north. But Darren will have more on that for

:29:52. > :29:55.you later.
