welcome to bbc news. german police say they're still hunting for the suspect of a stabbing attack which killed three people and injured multiple others in the western city of solingen. police have arrested a 15—year—old old who they say isn't accused of carrying out the attack. two men aged 67 and 57 and a woman aged 56 were killed. investigators say they don't yet know the suspect�*s motive, but that they cannot currently rule out a "terrorist" motive. the attacker reportedly stabbed passers—by at random during a festival marking 650 years since the city was founded. in a press conference german police shared details about the number of those killed and injured. translation: unfortunately, | three people did lose their lives last night — a 67—year—old man, a 57—year—old man and

a 56—year—old woman. eight people have been injured physically by the attack, four of whom are seriously injured. the psychological damage that will have been a cause to many people is of course a much wider issue for many more people. there has been an arrest of a 15—year—old and we are currently investigating the connection between this person and the attack. we believe at the moment that there is one perpetrator. we will, however, of course explore all avenues in our investigation. german police there who gave a press conference for 45 minutes. three people were killed, eight people

injured, four very seriously and the person responsible for those attacks is still on the loose. let's speak to our correspondent damian mcguinness who's in berlin. we had an awful lot of detail in the press conference but let's start with the rest of the 15—year—old, arrested but not charged. talk us through what we know about that. that's right. what is happening there is the 15—year—old was arrested earlier this morning. he is not suspected of being the perpetrator himself. according to police, two witnesses heard the is—year—olds talk to the suspected perpetrator about the stabbing before it happened, presumably it was only later that the witnesses realised what they had heard. they then went to the police and that is when police realised this 15—year—old potentially new the perpetrator, because that is obviously the big question, the

attacker is still on the run. this 15—year—old is being questioned right now. he presumably will be charged for not going to the police with information about a crime before or after the crime was carried out. he presumably will be charged and he will face some sort of punishment possibly if found guilty, but the key question is to find out who the attacker was and to find out who the attacker was and to find out who the attacker was and to find out where he is right now, because that is the real problem, thatis because that is the real problem, that is what is leading to a lot of worry, a lot of feelings of insecurity in sonning —— solingen. simonjones has the latest details. police out in force on the streets of solingen after an attack that, in the words of the mayor, has brought shock, horror and great grief to the city. the attack took place at an event to mark the 650th anniversary of the city's foundation, a celebration that

turned to tragedy. this is the moment the festival's organiser was forced to call the event off. translation: we don't want a panic here but a knife attack has _ injured several people. we want to ask you to keep calm but also keep your eyes open, because the perpetrator is still on the run. a major hunt is now under way for the man who killed three people and injured eight others. the german chancellor, olaf schultz, says the suspect must be caught quickly and punished to the full extent of the law. he added, "we mourn the victims and stand by their families." this man bringing flowers to the scene this morning saw the attack unfold. translation: for the families and relatives of the victims, . we want to show we are there for you. i was here with some friends. we were sitting on the benches but we heard the screams and people started running, so we also ran away. with the attacker on the run, police are urging people to be cautious.

they don't have a clear description of the suspect. officers are trying to piece together what happened by speaking to witnesses, but many remain in shock. the remainder of the festival has been cancelled. simon jones, bbc news. those are the latest developments there from simon jones those are the latest developments there from simonjones but those are the latest developments there from simon jones but as those are the latest developments there from simonjones but as we heard in that report, the question is where is the perpetrator and who is where is the perpetrator and who is who and what was the motive? police are not ruling out possible terror —related motives. they say the victims do not appear connected, so they do not think it is a personal motive so they are not ruling out some possible terror —related motive. what they are saying is until we know more, they are pleading for people not to engage in speculation, particularly

online. in german and social media we have seen all sorts of rumours and false information flying around and false information flying around and in a situation like this, which is ongoing and where a lot of people feel insecure, it is more important than ever that people don't engage in that sort of speculation and that is a real worry for the police right now. damian, thank you very much for bringing us up to date. damien mcguinness live in berlin. lots more on our website. any more developments we will bring them to you. the authorities in southern france say an explosion outside a synagogue has injured a police officer. two cars, one with a gas canister hidden inside, were set on fire in front of the building in la grande motte, a busy holiday resort near montpellier. the national anti—terrorism unit has taken charge of the investigation. the interior minister condemned what he called a criminal act and said the police presence outside jewish schools and places of worship would be increased.

italian officials have opened a manslaughter investigation, into the deaths of seven people on board a luxury yacht, which sank off the coast of sicily on monday. the british tech entrepreneur mike lynch, his 18—year—old daughter, hannah, four of his friends and the yacht�*s cook died, when the boat went down. bethany bell reports from sicily. it's been a long, dangerous and complicated recovery operation for the luxury bayesian yacht which stand off porticello harbour early on monday morning with 22 people on board. now, formal details have begun to emerge as to what happened and how seven people lost their lives, as those involved in the rescue spoke for the first time. translation: the boat sank- on the stern side and then it turned on its right side down in the sea, and that's why those on board sought refuge in the cabins on the left side, because that's where the air bubbles formed. they found the first five bodies

in the first cabin on the left side, and the other body in the third cabin on the left. we found all of them in the high part of the boat. the prosecutor also officially confirmed the identities of the dead. hannah's body was last to be found on friday. the day before, they recovered mike lynch's body. on thursday, they found the bodies ofjonathan bloomer and his wife judy, chris morvillo, neda morvillo. the body of the yacht�*s chef recaldo thomas was found earlier this week. officials say the yacht sank likely not because of a waterspout but because of a localised powerful wind that descends from a thunderstorm and spreads out unpredictably. translation: these phenomena happen really suddenly. _ downbursts last only a few seconds so it's difficult for satellite systems to recognise it precisely, but according to the data we can surmise that this was a downburst. the investigation is at a very early stage.

the prosecutor's office is looking into potential crimes of negligent shipwreck and manslaughter. they stressed that they are not investigating anyone specifically at the moment. there are plans to recover the yacht from the sea bed but the operation is likely to be complex and costly. it could take months before there are clear answers. bethany bell, bbc news, termini imerese. the presenter and football pundit, jermainejenas says he feels deeply ashamed after he was sacked by the bbc, for sending inappropriate messages to female colleagues. in an interview with the sun newspaper, the former footballer apologises to the women for making them feel uncomfortable and to his wife. jenas was considered by some to be a rising star on the one show and match of the day. frances read reports. you could see that he had a plan... a presenterfor some of the bbc�*s biggest shows, like match of the day

and the one show, jermainejenas now sat in front of a different camera, that of the sun newspaper, to apologise after being sacked. firstly, to say sorry. to my wife, to my family, to the women involved as well. and what i have put them through. but also, there is kind of like... there are rumours and i think it is really important that i put my point across that there is nothing illegal that has happened here. this is consenting adults that messaged each other. this is on me, it isn't on anybody else. there is nobody else to blame here. before being a highly paid star at the bbc, as a footballer, he played for newcastle, spurs, and england. he is married with four children. jermainejenas said he is receiving

help for a self—destructive streak and accepted he fell below the standards of the bbc. a change of tone from his initial reaction earlier in the week. i am not happy about it. but currently, as it stands, i am going to have to let the lawyers deal with it. you know, there are two sides to every story. jermainejenas had been presenting on talksport as the news was breaking earlier this week. it says it has no plans for him to appear in future. the bbc hasn't commented sincejermainejenas�*s interview with the sun, but the newspaper said it believes that his lawyers are still looking at the way that the corporation handled his sacking. his future as a rising star on some of the bbc�*s flagship programmes now appears to be over. the paralympic flame has been lit at the hospital in stoke mandeville in buckinghamshire here in the uk where the idea for

the games was born. the torch will then begin its journey to paris ahead of the opening ceremony on wednesday. more than 4,000 athletes will take part in the games. the stoke mandeville games were first held in 1948 for a small group of wheelchair athletes who had sustained spinal injuries during world war ii. those later grew into the first paralympic games, which took place in rome in 1960. it was then in 2012 ahead of the london paralympics where the heritage flame ceremony took place for the first time in stoke mandeville and now this year is the second such ceremony. our sports reporter matt graveling in stoke mandeville gave more details on the torch lighting ceremony and the journey of the torch. i'm here at stoke mandeville station, just across from the hospital which was really the birthplace of the movement. and you may be able to see just behind me, i'm not sure, butjust behind me they are packing up all the seats from the 250 invited guests to the torch lighting which i think a lot

of the organisers were probably biting their fingernails this morning when they saw the weather forecast. but it did get under way, i think we can bring some pictures for you now. and as of october, there was the decision made that actually every future paralympic games, starting from paris, will see the torch lit and created here at stoke mandeville. and that is because, as i say, this is the birthplace of the paralympic games. a little bit earlier, we had two former paralympians, we had helene raynsford who is a paralympic rowing champion, and also the three—time wheelchair curling champ gregor ewan, they lit the paralympian flame, and it is being kept in a safe place, this evening in buckinghamshire and then tomorrow it is going to be taken by 2a torchbearers down through the channel tunnel where hopefully they will be blessed with a little bit of better weather. and then in calais, it will be received and it will actually be split into 12 separate torches and then it is going to go all the way around france, again hopefully with better weather, before it reconvenes and the flames

are recombined in paris on wednesday for the opening ceremony. now it's time for a look at today's sport with mark edwards. hello from the bbc sport centre. world numberi nelly korda had a three—shot lead after a blemish—free 68 in the second round of the women's open at st andrews. the american started the day eight—under with england's charley hull — who led after round one — and defending champion lilia vu her closest challengers on 5 under. jane dougall is at the old course in scotland, with the star trio underway now. jane, what's the state of play? there has been some movement at the top of the leaderboard. nelly korda, the world number one, did not get her third run off to the best start. she has had two macro bogies in her

first tattoo holes, that dropped her to six under but then she and charley hull birdied the third so she is seven under and charley hull is six under sojust she is seven under and charley hull is six under so just won shot between the two. charley hull talked about how much she enjoys the creativity of the course. she was runner—up last year so she was hoping to go one better but it is so erratic on this notoriously tough golf course, you don't know what is going to happen in the round. as you mention, nelly korda having such an immaculate round yesterday with four birdies and today bogeyed her first two holes. the defending champion lilia vu is still in the mix at five under. she has had quite a consistent day so far with pars. georgia hall is also out on the

course at the moment but she has had a couple of bogeys as well as a couple of birdies so she is on par at the moment. the conditions are certainly a factor in how the golfers are faring. it is pretty windy, it has been raining as well but at least that has stopped for the moment. we will keep you updated. the moment. we will keep you u dated. , . the moment. we will keep you udated. g . a ., packed day of english premier league action with seven matches on saturday. in the early kick off, manchester united were stunned on the south coast at brighton. joao pedro's winner in the fifth minute of injury time gave fabian hurzeler�*s side all three points and sent them back to the top of the table. the seagulls had led in the first half through danny welbeck�*s hundreth premier league goal, but amad diallo's second—half equaliser got united back into it before joao pedro's late intervention. two wins from two for brighton. it was always emotional. when you

get the win in the last minute but it is very emotional but we deserved to win. we made a good game, not a perfect game. there were situations where united had the chance to win the game but in the end, it is deserved and i am very proud of the team. they showed the value of never giving up and that is very important. there's a real tasty tie to look forward to later as big spending aston villa host arsenal. while defending champions manchester city are under way at home to newly promoted ipswich town. and the newly promoted side took a shock lead at the etihad, sammie szmodics with the goal seven minutes in but erling haaland equalised from the penalty spot and kevin de bryune has given the champions the lead. to ukraine now president zelensky has used a speech on the country's independence day to say russia's invasion has failed.

he said moscow had tried to destroy his country, but instead war had returned to the russian soil. to mark independence day, 33 years of ukrainian independence, we can speak to doctorjames birch who hosts a ukrainian family here in the uk and a community development coordinator in lancashire. victoria, you arejoining us from ukraine. welcomed only to you both. victoria, it is only the 33rd anniversary of ukraine's independence. it is obviously a bittersweet moment for you given the war there. just reflect for us what your country is experiencing there. i reflect for us what your country is experiencing there.— reflect for us what your country is experiencing there. i am very proud to be ukrainian _ experiencing there. i am very proud to be ukrainian and _ experiencing there. i am very proud to be ukrainian and when _

this is the earlier satellite picture with this stripe of cloud which has been providing the very heavy and persistent rain. brighter skies following on behind. so, as that stripe of cloud clears the east coast, it will take the rain with it but a line of heavy thundery downpours following on behind. further north and west, the south—west of england, wales, northern england, northern ireland, scotland, it is a mix of sunny spells and showers. some of those showers will be thundery. still quite windy out there, and those temperatures really quite disappointing, 14to19, maybe getting to 20 degrees. now, through this evening and tonight, we'll continue to see some showers, particularly across northern and western parts. further south, most of the showers will fade, and then later in the night will see more cloud and some bits and pieces of rain netting into northern ireland. a rather cool night for the time of year, temperatures quite widely down to around eight or nine degrees. so, many places starting sunday on a dry and relatively bright note but this frontal system pushing in from the west will bring outbreaks of rain for some, that rain getting into northern ireland

quite quickly, then spreading north eastwards across southern and central portions of scotland, parts of north—west england, wales. to the south of that, largely dry, patchy cloud and sunny spells, not looking too bad in the north of scotland. but it is going to be quite a windy day, in fact parts of northern england for example could see wind gusts of up to a0 mph or more. temperatures may be climbing just a little bit, we're looking at highs of 15 to 20 degrees north to south. as we head on into monday, which is of course a bank holiday for most of us, this little ridge of high pressure does try to build so we do see more in the way of dry weather. some spells of sunshine, areas of cloud bubbling up in the sky through the middle part of the day, maybe given one or two showers, and it looks like our next frontal system will bring rain into northern ireland later in the day. but it is going to start to feel just a little bit warmer, and higher temperatures will be a feature of the coming week, particularly down towards the south. more rain further north and west.

bye for now.
