danger. good evening and welcome to bbc news. the foreign secretary boris johnson has pulled out of a planned visit to moscow next week, following the chemical weapons attack in syria. in a statement mrjohnson said he deplored russia's continued defence of president assad. it would have been the first visit to russia by a british foreign secretary in more than five years. our diplomatic correspondent james robbins reports. this was president trump's message to the syrian government and its russian backers yesterday, delivered with force. the united states and her allies reject syrian denials they used a chemical weapon against civilians, including children. now britain's followed up with a diplomatic rebuke.

boris johnson's called off talks in moscow on monday and issued a written statement instead. developments in syria have changed the situation fundamentally. the planned visit by borisjohnson to moscow would have been the first by any british foreign secretary for five years. a long gap reflecting the very bad relationship between britain and russia which already existed. but the events of the past week in syria have now provoked an even deeper crisis. russia's first response came in this tweet from their embassy in london, accusing boris johnson of theatrics for lack of argument and inviting people to listen instead to what they call russia's soft power. a link leads to this excerpt from tchaikovsky's patriotic

1812 overture, celebrating past russian military victory. instead of seeing the russians on monday, borisjohnson will be talking to america's secretary of state, rex tillerson and other allies to agree next steps. but some syrians who've suffered most, like abdul hamid al yousef, want further military action. he lost 20 members of his family, including nine month old twins. it was a photograph of the dead twins being carried by their father which helped persuade president trump he had to order the missile strike. translation: i would like to thank president trump and the us administration on the initial steps they took against the airport that killed my children and all the martyrs. but i didn't expect the strikes to stop. i was surprised. why did president trump stop the strikes? why one airport? why one base? but tonight, russian television has

been showing pictures it says show syrian aircraft flying once again from the base damaged by america's cruise missiles. next week, the political message of that attack will be reinforced when rex tillerson, not borisjohnson, goes to moscow for the trump administration's first meetings there with the russian leadership. they'll be very tough encounters. police in stockholm say the man arrested after yesterday's lorry attack is a 39—year—old from uzbekistan who was known to security services. investigators believe he was driving the truck which killed four people and injured 15 others. detectives also say they found a suspicious device in the vehicle. today, thousands of people in sweden have been paying their respects to those who died. late last night, a glimpse of the ordinary delivery truck that was turned against people

in a moment of terror. it was towed away to be examined and police made a worrying discovery. we have found something in the truck in the driver's seat. a technical device which should not be there. i cannot at this stage say that this is a bomb. the man they think was at the wheel has connections here, a poor suburb north of the city. he hasn't been named but he's a 39—year—old from uzbekistan. we understand he was registered at one of the addresses in this block, although we don't know if he actually lived here. people have told us the police will here in number until the early hours of the morning and they've taken some people away for questioning. in the city, after yesterday's horror, time to think and to reflect on chance decisions that determined death or injury for some, a lucky escape for others. patrick and francesca are tourists who were in the basement

of the department store when the truck hit. we went up the escalator and we saw panic and we saw police with guns and stuff like that, so... how did people react? everybody was screaming and running to the other side of the building and we took the side entrance and we went out. and we just kept running to the other side of the city. and you wanted to come back today? yeah, yeah, just to show that we care. sweden's crown princess led her nation in paying tribute, a further display of the strength of this society. this attack means consideration of

raging in the roof space, which was spreading to the first floor. as you can see, the roof has since collapsed. a neighbourfilmed the blaze, stretching from end to end of the building and occasionally flaring up. firefighters had to go into the flames to carry people to safety. this being a residential care home, there were over 30 people, some of which were unable to escape themselves. and we ended up carrying out a number of rescues, over 30. to remove people both with crews wearing breathing apparatus and via ladders. the care home residents were brought onto the street, where local people did their best to look after them. the emergency services were praised for their fantastic response. theyjust kept going in and in. just to get the people. and with no concern for themselves. two people died at the scene, three others were taken to hospital, suffering from minor burns and the effects of breathing in smoke. the cause of the fire is under investigation.

what they did to this man is not in my name, basically. i believe that we should all be here, united. croydon is a very multicultural town, and that is something that it celebrates. as people march behind me, reker ahmed is still in hospital being treated for his injuries. a fund to help support him has now raised more than £55,000. i'm not wrecking the calais jungle around the work that were doing to support children, with care for calais. i think it's a tragedy what happened to him and we have to make sure this tragedy is never repeated and that what comes out of it is solidarity from croydon, from london, from the uk, to say refugees are welcome here. croydon is seen as a gateway to refugees, with the headquarters of the home office's visa and immigration department in the town. organisers hope today's march shows new arrivals this is a place full of people that will stand up for them. as we have been reporting, norwegian
