good evening. one of british television's biggest stars, sir bruce forsyth, has died this afternoon at the age of 89. the prime minister and stars of stage and screen have been paying tribute to the man whose career in show business began in 1942 when he was just 1a. he continued to work for more than 70 years with hit shows including sunday night at the london palladium, play your cards right, the generation game and most recently strictly come dancing. his former co—presenter tess daly said today that she was heartbroken to hear of his death and called him a friend, a gentleman and a true legend.

our correspondent, david sillito, looks back on his life. live from london, this is strictly come dancing. please welcome your hosts... bruce forsyth! when it comes to tv history, bruce forsyth was simply the face of saturday night. strictly come dancing, the last hurrah in a career that went back more than 70 years. the boy bruce, the mighty atom wasjust the beginning of a life of song, dance and comedy. # that's why the lady is a tramp! it only took 16 years of struggle to become an overnight star of sunday nights at the london palladium. a fellow veteran of the show had nothing but admiration for this all—round talent. # i'm so awfully shy... he was great, he was

one of our greatest entertainers ever. perhaps the greatest we've ever had. he could do everything. lovely piano player, nice tap dancer. not a gag man, but made people roar laughing. and class, he had a lot of class. and he was, without doubt, a national treasure. he deserved his knighthood. 50 odd years of the top in our business? that's a bit of a record. one key part of the palladium's formula was the game show, beat the clock. the comic chaos, the rapport with the public, he was a natural. 0ver there. bit of paper, come on! that's it, you've won! nice to see you, to see you... nice! and nowhere showcased the talent better than the generation game in the ‘70s. this is another phyllis here. i don't like being called phyllis. my name's phyl with a y.

phyl with a y? all right, darling. a bit like that? there's another bundle of trouble. nice to see you, didn't he do well? the catchphrases became part of national life. a swing ball game, there we are. goodness me. we've got the steam iron. didn't he do well? among the tributes today, the director—general of the bbc lord hall said he was one of our greatest entertainers. he defined saturday night. after that, play your cards right on itv — another successful game show. are you going to go on? if he had a regret, it was not making it in america, in films and his main love, as a song and dance man. he could sing, you could dance. a fabulous pianist. a comic. everything. if you want an all—round entertainer, i think you think first

of all, bruce forsyth. this could save the whole show. just do as i do. it'll be like the generation game, all right? you're never quite prepared for the end, are you? he was such a remarkable, iconic figure. there's no more remarkable in all of television history in this country, that's the kind of man we're talking about. # now you're here, and now i know just where i'm going # no more doubts orfears sir bruce forsyth. he first appeared on the bbc in august 1939. 70 years later, he was still there — still the king of saturday night. # i love you! # fly me to the moon! sir bruce forsyth, who has died today at the age of 89. the bbc director general, tony hall, said today that sir bruce had

invented and then re—invented saturday night entertainment. his career took off in post—war britain — at a time of great change. 0ur media editor, amol rajan, looks at how sir bruce managed to keep changing with the times and adapt to the evolving television landscape to become one of the giants of light entertainment. the nation that first met bruce forsyth has long since vanish. first on the bbc in the year that britain went to war, he came to prominence ina went to war, he came to prominence in a country and a culture that was very different. back then there was just one television station in black and white. that meant tens of millions sat together to watch the biggest shows. as britain fell in love with the small screen, it was sir bruce's mischievious smile that provided the humour and humanity. this evening, the bbc‘s

director—general said: in many ways we're living through a golden age of television, with more choice than ever before and the freedom to watch what we want when we want. but something precious has been lost too — television still has the power to unite the country, of course, but very few shows can command the sorts of vast audience that sir bruce could rely on week m, that sir bruce could rely on week in, week out. he had a way of making contact with an audience, either in a theatre or through a television camera. he was your friend and of course, he never let you down. he never underperformed. he never disappointed. he was a great picker of what shows were the right shows to do. sheer talent and likability

meant he spanned the generations, staying not just relevant meant he spanned the generations, staying notjust relevant but riveting to viewers of strictly come dancing a full seven decades after his first performance. and uniquely today he spanned the genres too, prolific in dance, film, on stage and screen. bruce's legacy - the most entertaining, all—round, maul i—talented performer this country has ever produced, absolutely amazing. but i think when you think of bruce, you smile. because it was his warmth, his charm, his sense of fun, the way he embraced you when you spoke to him. that came across to the public always. he was exceptional. through all the upheaval of post war british history there had been a constance presence — the wit, warmth and wisdom of sir bruce. the more that britain and television changed, the more he

stayed the same. truly, we will never see his like again. david sillito, our arts correspondent, is with me now. he played such a huge role in television history. the magic is the day he walked onto the sunday night at the london palladium. he'd had 16 yea rs at the london palladium. he'd had 16 years on stage, but it's the magic of speaking and making 2,000 people laugh in the auditorium, millions of people feel connected at home. also, putting at ease people on the stage. no—one had been on tv before that. being made stars of the show. he did it all. he did it best when it all went wrong. there are so many people who could have done it, but when it went wrong, those lightning reflexes, watch it on the generation game, you realise, that's why decade after decade after decade, bruce forsyth kept on coming back because they knew, on saturday night, he

could be entirely trusted. he was the king of saturday night. he really was. david, thank you. the rest of the news now, and police in spain say they believe the suspects in the two terror attacks, carried out in barcelona and cambrils, had been planning something much bigger. 1a people have died and more than 130 have been injured. clive myrie is in barcelona tonight. we are here right in the heart of the city. the focus of a huge police investigation, looking into the deaths of 1a people in all and more than 100 people injured following those two terror attacks along the coast here. but the police now say that the killers had spent months planning much bigger atrocities. last night, five terror suspects we re last night, five terror suspects were killed. they were shot in a place called cambrils, about 120 kilometres along the coast from here. one of those men who were

killed last night by police is thought to have been the driver the van that caused so much havoc and pain here yesterday afternoon, when it came careering down the las ramblas pedestrian area behind me there, mowing into people and causing so much death and destruction. in all 130 people have been injured. some of them are britons. today hundreds of people turned up to the parkjust to my right here to show solidarity for the police efforts and for the authorities here, but also to pay tribute to those who died. also to show defiance, many people chanting, "we are not afraid." let's take a look back at how events unfolded. on wednesday night, there was an explosion at a house in alcanar, 120 miles from barcelona, where gas cannisters were discovered. one person was killed and 16 others injured. yesterday afternoon a white fiat van veers off the road and into a crowd outside the placa de catalunya metro station. it then continues its path down las ramblas, a pedesterian street

that was packed with people. the driver then fled the scene. and at1 o'clock this morning there was a second attack in cambrils when a car rammed into pedestrians. one person died. police shot dead the five attackers, who were wearing what turned out to be fake suicide belts. the first of our reports tonight looks at the attacks and those caught up in the horror. a shared silence. across another european city touched by terror, one minute of stillness filled the space that words could not. a void with a single burning question — why? then, as king felipe and prime minister rajoy looked on, applause and defiance. no tinc por! "we are not afraid", they chanted.

but the previous 2a hours of violence were shocking. gunfire this, a street in the coastal town of cambrils. a terror suspect is cornered and is wearing what police believe is a suicide belt. they decide there is only one course of action. the dead man was one of five who tried to mow people down in a car on the nearby seafront. all the attackers were shot by police and investigators now believe they were part of a terrorist cell of eight to 12 people, some of whom were in this house, 120 miles from barcelona the night before, when a blast killed one person and injured seven others. it's thought explosive devices were being prepared, as well as the blueprint for barcelona's las ramblas attack. nick mouncey and stephanie walton

from lincoln were caught up in the panic as a white van ploughed into the path of hundreds of people. they ran for cover into a nearby cafe. the only thing that was going through my head was the paris and the london attacks, where the attackers would come through restaurants and bars, shooting and stabbing people. ijust thought, oh, my god, we're going to get shot, nick, we're going to get shot. it just felt like it was never ending, wasn't it? when we turned around, on that first bang, everybody on the floor, bodies everywhere, there were kids everywhere and people shouting. like, that... i can't seem to shift that from my mind at all. it is absolutely heartbreaking, what people have gone through here. and you were running for your lives? absolutely. you run in in sheer panic and terror because you don't really understand what's happened for probably about a minute or two. and then when you see the people on the floor, you realise what actually has happened.

but despite the horror of the last couple of days, investigators believe the killers were planning an even bigger attack, using gas canisters. the police operation to find other members of the terror cell is one of the biggest in spain for more than a decade. and this evening, more details are emerging of the victims. like bruno gulotta, who was 35, from rome, on holiday with his wife and two young children. a little boy and girl, now left fatherless. and there are concerns forjulian cadman, who's seven and thought to have dual australian and british nationality. he hasn't been seen since the attack. the spanish are resilient people. 2a hours after the blood—letting, this is las ramblas. where a few hours ago bodies lay, now there are flowers. and on the boulevard where the white van eventually crashed, there's a shrine. so many have told us life must go on, that the terrorists will never win.

but lives have been changed here forever. as we have heard, the initial thought at the beginning was that what happened here was improvised, isa what happened here was improvised, is a spontaneous attack. now it looks like something more ambitious, as gordon corera reports. the day before the attack in the city, an explosion ripped through this house in a small town south of barcelona. at first, it was reported to have been a gas leak, some kind of accident. but now police say those inside may have been preparing a bomb using gas cylinders, before something went wrong. police suspect they were building an explosive device large enough to be carried in a truck to target the city. but something went wrong in the bomb factory, killing some of those inside. now, without a bomb and knowing the explosion might put

police on the trail, the cell decided they had to act fast. at least one member went to las ramblas in a hired van and struck the pedestrians on thursday afternoon fleeing the scene. that evening, another van, perhaps used as a getaway vehicle, was found in a town north of barcelona. in the early hours of friday morning, the cell made another attempt to kill before they were hunted down, again, using what they could, a car driven at people in cambrils, like las ramblas, a place packed with tourists. but the car overturned and the men inside, some wearing fake suicide vests, were shot by police before they could attack more people with knives. it's suspected that moussa 0ukabir, who may have been the driver of the van in las ramblas, might have been one of those killed here. what looked yesterday like perhaps a lone individual inspired by extremist ideology, driving down the streets here at las ramblas, 110w looks like the remnants of a larger, more ambitious plot. there certainly may

be questions about whether there were any tip—offs or whether more could have been done to protect all the people here. there may also be a sense that spain may have narrowly missed out on something even worse. these are some of the members of the cell. it is thought to have been more than a dozen strong, unusually large. so—called islamic state said they we re so—called islamic state said they were what is called its soldiers. that doesn't always mean there was a direct connection with the group, but one terrorism expert told me he suspected someone provided this group of relatively young local man with expertise. 17 years old, so he had no driving licence. very young. the other two are 18 and 20, and 22. they were preparing a big, big bomb in that house. so, i think somebody

with more experience and maybe can organise a cell like this. and that might bea organise a cell like this. and that might be a link to so—called islamic state in iraq or syria? in my opinion, this will be discovered in the next days. the authorities are still hunting for more members of the network and they will be urgently trying to establish just how big this cell was, and trying to understand why, given its size, it wasn't spotted earlier. gordon corera reporting. let's go live now to our correspondent, wyre davies, who's in cambrils. as you remember, last night, five terror suspects were shot by the police. you have more information tonight on the identities of those that were killed? after a terrible day for the security sources, some news tonight that the 17—year—old youth, moussa 0ukabir, believed to

be responsible for the attack, was himself killed in a terrible incident here hours later, when six people died. five of those were young jihadis who drove the pavement coming to a crowd of spectators. they emerged with what appeared to be viable explosive vests, brandishing knives and sending people scattering. they were shot dead on the spot by police, but not before they fatally stabbed a middle—aged woman. despite the return of tourists and locals, the shops reopening, until the police catch everybody responsible for these atrocities and the planning, these atrocities and the planning, the security forces will not rest easy. thank you. and our security correspondent, gordon corera, is with me now. the police will be incredibly concerned about the ambitions that these terror suspects had in relation to the kind of plot that they were hatching? that's right,

clive. the fact that the authorities have identified some of those at cambrils, as we have heard, suggests they are beginning to get their arms around and understand the nature of this cell. but it is how close they came to something much more serious, without knowing it, that will really worry them. it appears they knew nothing about this relatively large gi’oup nothing about this relatively large group building a bomb not farfrom here in barcelona. it was only because the bomb went off accidentally that the men turned to what we call low—tech terrorism. i think it was the fact that the authorities were not onto them, they didn't know about this large group of people, that will worry them going forward, as much as the terrible carnage that some of those men carried out here. gordon, thank you. before we go, i should give you some travel advice. a quick word about travel to barcelona from the airlines. british airways and easyjet say customers who are due to fly into or out of barcelona in the coming days are being offered options to either bring forward or postpone theirjourneys,

so check with your airline. with that, sophie come back to you. president trump has fired one of his top advisers, his controversial chief strategist steve bannon. he was part of donald trump's inner circle and was behind the election campaign which won him the presidency. critics have accused him of having ties to white supremacists. 0ur washington correspondent aleem maqbool reports. to be the most controversial character in a crisis—ridden white house was no mean feat. but steve bannon may just have managed it. now, though, after months of tension amongst the president's staff, he's gone. "white house chief of staff john kelly and steve bannon have mutually agreed today would be steve's last day. we're grateful for his service and wish him the best." it all sounds very amicable. but throughout, steve bannon was at loggerheads with many of his colleagues.

he came from a background of running a news agency which became a mouthpiece for the far right. it is widely acknowledged he played a huge role in the strategy that got president trump elected, based on a platform of nationalism and a sentiment of taking back the country. he's going to continue to press his agenda. as economic conditions get better, as more jobs get better, they're going to continue to fight. if you think they're giving your country back without a fight, you are sadly mistaken. every day, it's going to be a fight. the violence at a far right rally in charlottesville brought back into focus accusations steve bannon, the president's chief strategist, had a white nationalist sympathies. concerns that were dismissed just days ago by donald trump. i like him, he's a good man.

he is not a racist, i can tell you that. he's a good person. he actually get a very unfair press, in that regard. send in steve bannon. 0n the late—night comedy shows, steve bannon was portrayed as a dangerous, shadowy figure. but also the real brains behind the trump operation. 0k, donald. that's enough fun for tonight. can i have my desk back? yes, of course, mr president. i'll go sit at my desk. something that's not likely to have pleased the president. this photograph of donald trump's close aides was taken just a few days into his presidency. less than seven months later, he's lost his national security adviser, his press secretary, his chief of staff, and now his chief strategist. which may leave donald trump looking a lonely figure. but steve bannon's dismissal is a victory for those wanting to remove the extreme elements surrounding their president. but it will take a lot to convince many that this will lead to a better functioning white house.

how damaging is this for president trump? well, it is certainly very embarrassing for him to have this massive turnover of top staff in such a short space of time. it makes the white house looked like it is running a chaotic manner. there are those that will say, at least now, however belatedly, things are being whipped into shape. we have a new chief of staff, generaljohn kelly, trying to get things on more of an even keel. but no matter the staff, the person most important is the one at the very top. donald trump as shown in last week that he is going to continue to say what he wants, however controversial, do what he wa nts. however controversial, do what he wants. those hoping for calmer times because of steve bannon are likely to be left disappointed. thank you. a brief look at some of the day's other news stories... former bbc news correspondent liz mackean has died at the age of 52. the award winning journalist and presenter worked on newsnight for 1h years as well as presenting

on bbc breakfast. she was best known for her coverage of the jimmy savile scandal and the northern ireland conflict. the entertainer michael barrymore has been told he's entitled to damages from essex police after claiming his wrongful arrest damaged his career. mr barrymore was arrested on suspicion of the rape and murder of 31—year—old stuart lubbock at his home in 2001, but never charged. around 600 people are still missing in west africa after the huge landslide and flooding that hit sierra leone's capital, freetown, earlier this week. at least 460 people are known to have died. 3,000 have been left homeless and are in desperate need of help. the uk has pledged £5 million to help the survivors, as martin patience reports from freetown. the lush green hills of freetown dominate the city. but they can be deadly when it rains. volunteer rescue teams are sifting through debris.

we took away two dead bodies. 0ne gentleman and a lady, this colourful lady. and there's also another dead body inside that we need these logs to be removed before we can access those dead bodies. but we don't have the equipment to cut off these logs so we can access this. to the body's just going to rot, then? yes, it's going to rot, yes. this neighbourhood was once home to dozens of families. it's lunch time now. mothers would be cooking, children would be coming home from school. it's now been completely wiped out. tempers are fraying. not enough aid is getting through. translation: we've got no drinking water. 0ur well is contaminated. we think there may be body parts in it. a mass burial took place yesterday

to prevent an outbreak of cholera. hundreds are still missing. for those that survived, there's no comfort, just grief. kadiatu kamara lost both parents. she doesn't know how she'll provide for her children. we need help, the government needs to support us, she says. we need housing, we need help to start up our businesses again. many are too young to know what they've lost. martin patience, bbc news, freetown. they're some of britain's most successful black musicians, actors, sports stars, politicians — and now their pictures

will be put on display at the national portrait gallery in london to celebrate black britain. the photographs go on display next year — but chi chi izundu has been given a sneak preview. 37 faces of the most influential names in the black british community. for the first time, a collection will feature in a major new exhibition at the national portrait gallery. it's the gallery's biggest acquisition of afro—caribbean portraits. photographer simon frederick originally took the pictures for a bbc two documentary, black is the new black, but donated the whole portfolio to the gallery. i kept reading newspaper saying that we were a failing community. but then in those very same newspapers, the media seeing us as, you know, leaders.
