"prove it": russia demands the us shows evidence that the syrian government used chemical weapons on its own people. hello. police say they're increasingly certain the man arrested after the lorry attack in stockholm was responsible for driving the vehicle into a crowd of shoppers before ramming it into a department store. he is said to be 39 years old and from uzbekistan. friday's attack killed four people and wounded 15 others. swedish detectives also said they found a suspicious device

inside the truck. danjohnson reports from stockholm. 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 some serious and difficult questions, but it impact is only just starting to sink in. russia has demanded the us provide evidence of it's claim that chemical weapons were being stored at a syrian air base targeted in a missile strike on friday.

meanwhile the uk foreign secretary, borisjohnson, said the chemical attack has fundamentally changed the situation in syria. he has called off a visit to moscow, but the us secretary of state has had a phone conversation with his russian counterpart. it's ahead of face—to—face talks next week. with more, here's our diplomatic correspondent, james robbins. 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 has followed up with a diplomatic rebuke. boris johnson's called off talks in moscow on monday and issued a written statement instead: 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 borisjohnson 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 his nine—month—old twins aya and ahmed. and 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 will be very tough encounters. james robbins, bbc news. in other news: this hour, police in

the fire started as they slept. they were unable to make their own way to safety. when firefighters arrived early this morning, they found a fierce fire 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. andy moore, bbc news, cheshunt. nearly three and a half tonnes of explosives and dozens of guns, have been found at eight sites, belonging to the basque separatist group eta. that is according to the french authorities. it follows the group's decision to hand over all their weapons in their bid to end more than four decades of violence that has killed more than 850 people. our chief international correspondent lyse doucet, reports from the french basque city of bayonne. arms caches uncovered. french police carry the weapons away. eight hidden dumps surrendered by eta. three tonnes of explosives, 120 guns. today, in the basque region in south—west france, a peace rally. they also want to see proof on the big screen. a video of an arms dump encircled by volunteers. basque civil society played a key role, persuading eta

to give up its guns. there were decades of car bombings, assassinations. in eta's bloody campaign for basque independence. eta's file was finally handed over at city hall from civil society to international witnesses. i was allowed to sit in on this ceremony. everyone spoke of an historic moment. i'm convinced that eta is handling the weapons it has under its control. i'm not sceptical because eta declared a ceasefire and end to violence six years ago and they monitored the ceasefire. since the declaration, there's not been any incidents of violence by eta. for spain's government, they're still terrorists. translation: the terrorists cannot expect any kind of favourable treatment from the government and even less impunity for their crimes. joseba goikoetxea, a local police chief, one of many victims.

his wife rosa remembers every detail of the day eta shot him. translation: my son told me, "mama be strong." any steps towards peace are good, she now says, but accuses eta of making too much of today's ceremony. but it mattered to many basques. you can really feel the excitement here in the basque region, a sense of something important happening. but 50 years of violence have left a deep wound, especially in spanish society. a dark chapter is ending but a reconciliation has yet to start. lyse doucet, bbc news, bayonne. dozens of protesters have gathered to show solidarity with refugees in south london, wary 17—year—old

asylu m south london, wary 17—year—old asylum seeker was attacked last week. the group marched through croydon as part of a protest organised by stand up to racism. the kurdish iranian student was attacked bya kurdish iranian student was attacked by a gang while waiting at a bus stop. tolu adeoye reports. chanting: "say it loud, say it clear, refugess are welcome here!" their message was clear... chanting: "say it loud, say it clear, refugess are welcome here!" just over a week since kurdish iranian teenager reker ahmed was beaten up in a suspected racially motivated attack, hundreds of people in croydon came together to denounce the act. it's not fair, that someone who that has come, that's in a vulnerable, desperate position, has been attacked and they're in their most desperate moment of need, and that is the hospitality that we have shown them here. that is horrific. i think it's something atrocious which happened to that young man. it's not acceptable. 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. this is bbc news. with the time at 2:14, these are the headlines: police said the man arrested in

relation to their lorry attack on friday was known to intelligence services. he is a 39—year—old from uzbekistan. and russia has demanded evidence that the syrian government used chemical weapons on its own people. thousands of people are taking part in anti—government rallies in caracas and cities across venezuela. they are angry at the government's ban of the country's top opposition leader, henrique capriles, from office. the two—time presidential candidate was banned friday from holding political office for 15 years. greg dawson reports. in the heat of caracas, demonstration quickly turned to destruction. a group of around 100 protesters vandalised and set fire to an office of the supreme court. even this water cannon tank wasn't enough to douse the anger. but before all the tension and tear gas, thousands had gathered to support the man they want to see

take power in next year's elections. henrique capriles was seen as the opposition‘s best hope of defeating nicolas maduro. on friday he was banned from politics for 15 years, accused of administrative irregularities. translation: the ban will never have an effect, it's just to demoralise us, to take hope from the people. it's to keep me from being a candidate orfrom being president. but this is about venezuela and we're going to fight to change our country. opponents of president maduro said the ban is part of his concerted effort to stifle democracy. the armrest was initially sparked by a supreme court ruling to limit the power of the country's opposition controlled national assembly. the court eventually backed down but accusations of autocracy remain. translation: this is a dictatorship.

the people on the street are demanding elections. that's my reason for being here. in venezuela were not living, we're surviving. there's no food, no medicine, no security. the shortage of food and medicine is a symptom of the country's wider economic problems for which the government and opposition blame each other. a three—year recession has led to steep inflation and low salaries. nicolas maduro says us backed business elites are responsible for the downturn but these people have stopped listening and venezuela is facing the biggest sustained protest against its leader for three years. david smilde is a seniorfellow at the washington office on latin america, specialising in venezuela. the protest and various issues have been going on a long time in venezuela. they rarely seem to have any effect. will these be any different? it isn't clear. these

protests have been going on for a long time but really there's been a law for about six months in protest. the opposition was quite demoralised for several months after the dialogue broke down, after the recall referendum was postponed. they really just activated recall referendum was postponed. they reallyjust activated in the past two weeks and i think that's a large part is of the actions of the international community. the discussions of denunciations. nicolas maduro remains low in popularity stakes. is this attempt to try to boost his chances of survival? you know, i think they are doing everything they can to try to postpone elections. they postponed the recall referendum last october and they postponed regional elections. now they are basically trying to tilt the playing field firing off so that if they have to go to elections they can potentially

win them. they disqualified henrique capriles on friday. there's also this process of party revalidation, in which the public disqualify a number of opposition parties. so although they are trying to constrict the opposition leadership, if they do have to go to elections they are better. we haven't spoken about the trump administration, which has suggested it would be quite as hands off as his predecessor. well, ithink quite as hands off as his predecessor. well, i think there is a lot of expectation that trump would be hands off, in part because they thought trump was opposed to britain and would just be... would follow his america first policy. but as it turned out trump is actually taking it up and the united states has denounced venezuela with some bigger and it seems it has some intention in the case. has that led

to any split with the way the government is running? it has always been seen as quite unified behind nicolas maduro. you think that's changed? one of the big things that is the ultimate goal of the opposition is last week when the supreme court put through this ruling is, trying to strip the national assembly of its powers, the attorney general said it was unconstitutional. that was a rare manifestation of dissent within the government. so that has been a very important point and i think that something everyone has their eye on, and the opposition has been motivated by. thanks very much. in other news: a strike by rail workers disrupted travel to the grand national on one of the biggest days of industrial action in the wave of disputes over staffing and driver—only trains. members of the rmt at merseyrail,

arriva trains north and southern walked out for 24 hours. merseyrail said it transported around 12,000 people to aintree for the grand national, compared with 18,000 last year. more now on that discovery of a bomb—like device by police in norway. the gronland area of the capital oslo has been cordoned off and a suspect has been detained. there have been reports of a possible controlled explosion. the police are quoted as saying the device has limited potential to cause damage. officers in some norwegian cities are carrying guns in response to the lorry attack in neighbouring sweden. yes, i'm right in the heart of the gronland area, near the central station of oslo. now the police cordon has been lifted. life is going back to normal. i can confirm

that there was a controlled the nation. i heard the blast myself, quite a big blast. now behind me you can see a green tarp. behind that, about 20 metres back, is where the bomb or bomb like device was detonated. what sort of an idea might there be for a target round there are? it's obviously not right in the city centre. it is really close to the city centre and it is very close to one of the biggest hotels. there's a traffic overpass here and an attack kea can create a lot of chaos. it's an area that has many bars and restaurants and also has an immigrant population. it is a safe area and a very popular area.

we are now seeing the situation de—escalate in and police are having this little area behind me cordoned off, about 50 square metres. it is just a little area where they are cleaning up after the detonation. this is very unusual for norway, isn't it? yes. last time i saw something similar was in 2011 when there was a blast in central oslo and the massacre on will tour your island. so do —— to see police carrying the submachineguns is very rare and the cedar ceiling off of a very big part of oslo. but i can say that from what i've seen from around the city there has been no kind of

big expressions of beer or panic. outside many bars and around town people have been going about their lives, even if they heard about the news. so it seems like people are getting a bit numb from all be tearing news and just going about their lives. —— terror news. tearing news and just going about their lives. -- terror news. reflect on what difference has there been insecurity since the attack in stockholm? well, police have renewed their temporary permission to carry guns. apart from that we have not seen any guns. apart from that we have not seen any increased security in oslo. there has been talk in the media about securing the pedestrian areas of oslo. that's maybe overdue. pedestrian areas aren't secure. so there is a lot to be done on that issue and there should be some lessons learned from what happened

in sweden. a 14—year—old boy has appeared in court in northern ireland accused of trying to buy a sub—machine gun and 100 rounds of ammunition from the dark web. mervyn jess reports. the schoolboy who can't be identified because of his age was arrested here at the riverside retail park in coleraine on thursday. his detention came after several weeks of what was described as a "proactive police investigation linked to the online dark web". it's alleged the 14—year—old had used the dark web in an attempt to buy a gun and bullets, which were to be used to intimidate a third party. he had gone to the retail park to meet someone about this, however, his contact turned out to be a police operative and he was arrested. a detective told the court the schoolboy was arrested as part of an investigation into the online dark web. this involved an attempt to buy a submachine gun, and 100 rounds of ammunition.

the schoolboy appeared in court flanked by a police officer and his father, and spoke only to confirm his identity and that he understood the charge. the police opposed bail, however the districtjudge said that due to his age he was remanding him on bail but the strict conditions, that he would have no access to a mobile phone or the internet. he will appear in court again at the end of the month. the weather now, with darren bett. hello there, good morning. sunny weather at the masters, sunny weather here too, and believe it or not the temperatures are very similar as well. now, yesterday we had highs widely 20, 21 for england and wales. lovely day at aberystwyth and once again in aylesbury, with the blue skies. and more of that sunshine to come today too. we are going to see some changes come into the north—west, though. this cloud has been close by over the past day or two, and it will start to move into the uk over the next 24 hours, and bring with it a significant change in the weather.

well, clear skies ahead of that means it is quite chilly first thing this morning, and maybe one or two mist and fog patches across southern parts of england and into east anglia, but those won't last long at all. but once the sun comes up we're going to find the pollen levels rising, high again across england and wales, probably for the last day in a while. the sunshine will be there in the morning, lifting that mist and fog across england and wales. sunshine to start with across southern and eastern scotland, but more cloud moves down from the north—west, with some rain, and we could see cloud filling in across the irish sea too. so a different look to the weather in scotland and northern ireland on sunday. in the afternoon we have this cloud, the rain becoming light and patchy as it moves across scotland. not much rain either but temperatures will be lower. later in the afternoon, we'll see this rain across north—west england, so too west wales. it may arrive a little sooner across cornwall, but you can see in exeter it's still sunny into the afternoon, and for many central and eastern parts of england, lots of sunshine.

very warm as well. 24 or 25 degrees in eastern england, just like augusta. a warm day in sunderland for the football in the premier league, but that changes as the cloud arrives in merseyside. and this is the last of the warm air, on sunday, for quite awhile, i suspect, as colder air comes behind that weatherfront, on a north—westerly wind, once again that weather front producing little or no rain. again, it is dry across the south—east, as it has been for a long time now, and most places will be dry on monday. there will be more cloud developing than we've seen over the weekend, a few showers here and there. those showers in northern scotland could be heavy enough to give some wintriness, particularly over the hills. it will be that cold, struggling to make single figures in northern scotland, and a drop of eight, nine degrees across parts of england and wales, a much chillierfeel to the day on monday, and quite a shock to the system too. that chilly north—westerly airflow gets cut off by high pressure building on from the atlantic. and around the top of that we get a westerly wind, which will blow in more cloud across scotland and northern ireland, quite gusty winds too.

some heavy rain for northern scotland. england and wales, though, should have lighter winds. it should be dry, and once again we will see some sunshine. the latest headlines from bbc news, i'm gavin grey. king carl gustav has praised the strength and resilience of swedish society following friday's attack in stockholm, which killed four people. police say they're increasingly certain the uzbek man they've arrested is the one who drove a stolen lorry into a crowd and rammed it into a department store. police in the norwegian capital oslo have carried out a controlled explosion after finding a bomb—like device in the city centre. the area's been sealed off while investigations continue. a suspect has been detained. police in norway began carrying guns in response to the lorry attack in sweden. the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov has warned that the us missile strikes on a syrian airbase has played into the hands of extremists.

he reaffirmed russia's stance that accusations that the syrian regime had launched a chemical weapons attack on tuesday did not align with reality. now it's time for dateline london.
