along the pedestrianised area. police say the driver managed to flee the scene. about eight hours later in a second attack — a car hit pedestrians in the popular seaside resort town of cambrils, 68 miles south—west of barcelona. a woman who was critically injured later died in hospital. five other civilians and a police officer were hurt. the attackers‘ vehicle overturned and five people who got out, some of whom were wearing fake explosive belts, were then shot by police. four died at the scene and one later died of his injuries. on the boulevard where, on thursday, bodies lay, last night a vigil. flowers and candles to mark the lives lost and those injured

from 3a different countries. the disbelief and grief etched on people's faces. i was scared and nervous to come here. i didn't know what it would be like and if everybody was going to be kind of mourning and upset over what happened. it's good, though, to see everybody come together and just kind of remember what happened. through the window of a museum, new footage has emerged, appearing to show the van speeding along las ramblas. people ran for their lives. hours later a car was driven into pedestrians in cambrils. five suspects were shot dead, four by a single officer. among them, moussa oukabir, the man believed to have rented the van used in the barcelona attack. police say they are still looking for the man they now believe was driving it, younes abouyaaqoub. the task of identifying the dead and injured is continuing. fears are growing forjulian cadman,

who is seven, and has dual british and australian citizenship. he was separated from his mother during the attack. he is now missing, much to the concern of his great aunt. of course i am really worried. i can't hear anything with them, i want to hear what's happening. 15 people are in a critical condition in hospital. the mourning and the police operation continue. we canjust we can just show you the live pictures of the scene of the attack on las ramblas. there was a vigil held, of course, last night, and as you can see, this morning, people still making their way to that spot, the mural on the ground, where the

attackers‘ fans ended up. it is now covered —— the attackers‘ van ended up. it is now covered with flowers. the area has been reopened, but many people want to make their way there, both last night and this morning, to show their solidarity after that attack. meanwhile, police in finland say they are treating yesterday‘s stabbings in the city of turku as a terrorist attack. two people were killed and at least seven others injured in the incident. the attacker, who was shot in the leg, is being treated in intensive care. police say he is an 18—year—old moroccan. five people were arrested overnight in connection with the attack, and security has been tightened across finland. donald trump‘s former chief strategist, steve bannon, has vowed to go to war against the president‘s opponents, after being fired from his job at the white house. he‘s now returned to a senior

role at the right—wing website, breitbart news. mr bannon is the latest in a string of departures from the white house in a turbulent few weeks. david willis has more. steve bannon, widely credited for helping steer donald trump to victory, he was one of the most powerful men in the white house. the driving force behind donald trump‘s nationalist ideology, his was the ethos of putting america first, and taking back the country. as economic conditions get better, as more jobs get better, they will continue to fight. if you think they will give your country back without a fight, you are sadly mistaken. every day — every day, it is going to be a fight. he is not a racist, i can tell you that. he is a good person. he actually gets a very unfair press in that regard. but, we‘ll will see what happens with mr bannon. by the time that donald trump had made that less than ringing endorsement of his special advisor this week, the die was cast. steve bannon‘s clashes with more moderate forces in the west wing,

chief among them the president‘s son—in—law, jared kushner, and his daughter, ivanka, coupled with renewed accusations following the violence at charlottesville of white nationalist sympathies, sealed his fate. this profile in time magazine labelled bannon the "great manipulator". he has now returned to right—wing website breitbart news, which he left to work for the trump campaigna yearago. he has said that he intends to keep fighting on the president‘s behalf, but in an interview with the conservative magazine the weekly standard, he has said that the troubled presidency that they fought for and won is now over. leading members of the white house inner circle shown here just seven months ago have now almost all been sacked or stepped down.

all of which leaves the president and increasingly lonely and isolated figure. while steve bannon‘s departure is a victory for those who wanted to see an end to the more extreme elements in the west wing, whether it will lead to a better functioning white house remains to be seen. david willis, bbc news. officials say more than 60 million people have been affected by severe flooding in parts of india, nepal and bangladesh. 500 people are thought to have been killed, with conditions are expected to deteriorate further over the weekend. the red cross and red crescent say it is becoming one of the worst regional humanitarian crises in years. our correspondent is in bangladesh. iam in our correspondent is in bangladesh. i am in the worst affected region as far as the floods are concerned. the reason for that is, this is where

some of the rivers that flow from neighbouring india enter bangladesh, and the last few days, because of heavy rains on that side of the border, the levels of the rivers have been rising alarmingly. houses have been rising alarmingly. houses have been rising alarmingly. houses have been submerged, farmland, hundreds of thousands of people have been moved into temporary relief camps. in this area alone, 3000 schools have been shut down either because they are under water or the badly damaged. the focus of the government and the international relief agencies is to try and get supplies of food, water and medicine as quickly to these affected people as quickly to these affected people as is possible. many people are complaining that supplies simply aren‘t getting through, and one of the reason for that is that in much of this area, road and rail links have been affected, so the only way to get supplies across to them is by boat or from the air. the other big worry boat or from the air. the other big woi’i’y now boat or from the air. the other big worry now is that even though this

is the worst affected area, the focus is shifting to central bangladesh, where river levels are also rising. and the fear is, that is the place that could be affected next. tributes have been paid to sir bruce forsyth, who died yesterday at the age of 89. his career in light entertainment spanned more than seven decades. starting out at the age of 14, he went on to become the man who defined saturday night tv — hosting shows including the generation game, play your cards right and strictly come dancing. born in north london, he started tap dancing at an early age — a passion that stayed with him throughout his life. # i'm # i‘m putting on my top hat... #. he was 30 years old when he was asked to present "sunday night at the london palladium".

10 million viewers regularly tuned into the show. he quickly became one of the most popular, family entertainers. and every host needs a catchphrase.. sir bruce had many. nice to see you, to see you nice. good game. didn‘t she do well? he reigned supreme at the helm of the bbc‘s generation game for six years from 1971, then again at the beginning of the 1990s — and had fun doing it. there was another phyllis here. there was another phyllis herelj don't like being called phyllis. my name is phyl, with a y. another bundle of trouble! an all—round entertainer, he went on to present

strictly come dancing, where he mixed his love of singing and dancing. arlene phillips, was a judge on strictly, notjust in terms of training, but in rehearsal, going over things. so we worked hard at being mr showbiz. but also, bruce, to retain his balance, used to spin 80 times a day. he was warming up, he would constantly work his body and sometimes, even on strictly, just before he had to go on, you would see him almost revving himself up like a car, getting ready to go out there and entertain. joining me now is the broadcaster giles brandreth. you met bruce forsyth a long time ago. i was a student at oxford, and he was in pantomime at the local theatre, and i went to interview him for the student newspaper. i think that surprised me was that he hated pantomime. he didn‘t like to stick

with the plot, wanted to be free to do what he wanted to do with his audience. he also told me interestingly on that occasion that you have got to face facts if you are an entertainer. half the entertainer would like you. he said, i accept that and play to the half that does. don‘t worry and keep going. he did keep going. he was known as the mighty atom at the start of his career at 1a. he told me he also made a performance on tv at ten years of age, a bbc trier programme before the second world war, called come and be televised. and he thought, i‘m going to go. he was one of the first people to appear on bbc television, and he sustained it over 70 years. he was a lwa ys sustained it over 70 years. he was always aware, then, of where his passion lay, what format worked for him and what he enjoyed. as arlene was saying, he was a consummate

professional. he knew his wife, knew when to get out, knew what he could do and do well. he had disappointments in his life. he hoped to make it in the movies, made some films, but they didn‘t take off, because i think he lacked an audience. what he did uniquely in television terms was to bring the variety stage into a studio. he behaved like a variety entertainer in the studio, which sometimes compete other, he found the configuration of the studio for strictly restricting, because he had to play to the cameras, when the audience was out to the sides. he was the ultimate person at connecting with an audience. and people really did warm to him, those catchphrases and a cheeky grin. he was likeable, a good guy. i wasjust talking to a person in make up here at the bbc who work within 30 years ago and remember is that on the day of her retirement, he turned up with roses for her and made a speech. if you work in make up, you will know

that the entertainers don‘t often bother to do that. he really was the great professional, and a bubbly gentleman. when he wasn't having cameras trained on him, was he the same, larger—than—life? cameras trained on him, was he the same, larger-than-life? he wasn't quite as big. as he hit the edge of the stage, it happened. he was mr showbiz. that is what his world was, but he was quite conscious of what he was doing. it wasn‘t an accident. he did walk on funny, but it was all really, i think, he did walk on funny, but it was all really, ithink, craft, energy and he did walk on funny, but it was all really, i think, craft, energy and a great talent. you say, given that he was in show business for so long, it is slightly misleading to say there we re is slightly misleading to say there were not downs as well as ups. he was quite daring and often gave things up at the height of it. sunday night at the london palladium came along by chance, and he took

over from someone else, supposedly just a few weeks, but he lasted five yea rs. just a few weeks, but he lasted five years. and then he chose to come out. the first time he left the generation game, he chose to leave because he wanted to do something else. he always wanted really to get back to theatre. he wanted a huge, big musical hit. he tried several. a show called little me, in the 1960s, was reasonably successful. he played about eight different parts in it. he wanted ultimately to be the great song and dance man. he hopes to be as big as his friend sammy davis junior as an entertainer in america, and the audiences there appreciated his skill, because he was english and the empathy with the audience was everything, it didn‘t quite happen. he was fortunate in a way that his love of song and dance, which some people might have thought had been consigned to history, and suddenly strictly, and it was ideal

for him. and the broadcasters often indulged him because they knew that what he wanted to do was to sing, dance and do his thing. they loved the way he ran the game shows, his contact with the public, some lovely mix was found on strictly when he do everything. —— where he could do everything. —— where he could do everything. he was the ultimate family entertainer. you could sit there with your grandchildren or your nan, and you knew that he would bring you in and not let you go. he was cheeky and wonderful.m bring you in and not let you go. he was cheeky and wonderful. it is great to have your memories there, and tributes to bruce forsyth. the headlines: spanish police say they believe the driver other than that ploughed into pedestrians in barcelona is still at large. an international manhunt is now underway. donald trump‘s former chief

strategist steve bannon has vowed to fight the president‘s opponents despite being fired from his job at the white house. he was seen as the architect of mr trump‘s right wing agenda. and as we have been discussing, tributes have continued today to sir bruce forsyth, the veteran entertainer and presenter, who has died at the age of 89. arlene phillips said he was an indestructible titan who tap danced his way through life. sport now. and for a full round—up, let‘s cross to the bbc sport centre. the batsmen have done their bit at edgbaston and now it‘s the bowlers‘ turn to shine against west indies, on day three of this day—night test alastair cook was the star for england. his mammoth innings of 2113 — with some help from west indies fielders, pushed england towards 514 for 8 declared in theirfirst innings. as the natural light faded, james anderson removed

a clean sweep of the four—balls, to take a 5 and a half to 2 and a half lead over europe. not once during the entire afternoon was there blue on the board, withjulie inkster‘s side holding on to any lead they gained, thanks to some fine putting performances. it was a disappointing afternoon for europe, who had led after the morning foursomes. a pretty good start, but the afternoon didn‘t pan out the way we plan. iam proud afternoon didn‘t pan out the way we plan. i am proud of the players, who fought really hard. it was a shame it didn‘t happen. it was mostly on the greens, and you need to make some birdies against this really tough team, and we didn‘t have it this afternoon, so we are going to close the chapter on friday and open the next one for saturday. some tennis news, and great britain‘sjohanna konta is out of the cincinnati open. she was beaten in straight sets by romania‘s simona halep in the quarter—finals overnight. konta saved a total of five match points in the second set — before losing the set,

and the match, on a tie—break. leeds rhinos beat st helens 16—14 in rugby league‘s super league. both sides scored two tries — adam cuthbertson with leeds second. the rhinos held off a late charge from st helens to hang on to win by a margin of two points and strengthen their grip on second place. hull were soundly beaten 116—18 by huddersfield and they‘re now 3 points behind leeds . wigan thrashed fourth—placed salford who are level on points with wakefield who are fifth. mo farah will run his last track race on home soil tomorrow as runs in the 3000 metres in the birmingham grand prix. as he prepares to leave his track career behind to pursue road running, he says he‘ll aim to have new perspective on his running. it is about learning about the

event, understanding the event, and going fresh minded, having no pressure, going there and see what i can do on the road. i think it will ta ke can do on the road. i think it will take mea can do on the road. i think it will take me a couple of times at least to be able to get it right. it‘s not like i willjust be able to go and run 2.01; straight. i think it will ta ke run 2.01; straight. i think it will take a little while. just before before i go, how about this strategy for signing a new player from burnley manager sean dyche. he sold striker andre gray to watford just three days before their opening game, and time is pressing for him to buy a replacement. but he‘s shown his sense of humour when explaining exactly the type of player he wants to bring in. one that gets the ball, whacks it in the net a lot. i would say they are really helpful in a game of football. slightly more rounded qualities as well? no, the one that really whacks it in the net, even more than the bloke ijust said before. that‘s really helpful, ifound. that‘s all sport for now.

you can keep up to date with all those stories on the bbc sport website. the physicist professor stephen hawking has accused the health secretary, jeremy hunt, of "cherry—picking" evidence to support his policies. he has praised the nhs but attacked the provision of private health care in england. mr hunt has described the scientist‘s claims as wrong. here‘s our health correspondent, jane dreaper. he is one of the world‘s best—known scientists. professor stephen hawking was diagnosed with motoneuron disease at the age of 21. he turned 75 at the start of this year. a milestone celebrated at a scientific conference last month. # happy birthday to you...# professor hawking says he wouldn‘t be alive without the large amount of high—quality nhs treatment he has received. but he is concerned about the future of the health service in england, defending it as the most efficient and cost—effective system. in a speech which describes his

medical history and how he sometimes had to challenge doctors, professor hawking said: quoting the use of private agency staff as an example. he also accusesjeremy hunt of "cherry picking" research papers to support his case for changing weekend services. professor hawking says that while he wants more weekend services, he believes there has been no due diligence done in the case of the so—called seven—day nhs. the government says it makes no apology for being the first to tackle what it describes as "unacceptable variation in care" across the week. and ministers believe patients in england should be able to access the best treatments based on the quality of care, rather than who‘s providing them. an attempt by roman polanski to get the historical sexual assault case

against him dropped has been dismissed by a judge in los angeles. the film director admitted having sex with a 13—year—old girl in 1977, but fled the united states before sentencing. the judge rejected the latest attempt, despite support from his victim, samantha geimer. they are banned in scotland, and they have been described by the lib dems as an affront to basic human decency. mixed gender wards are controversial, and jeremy hunt announced they had been virtually eliminated in england. despite this, bbc breakfast has found that in the last year alone, men and women were treated in the same ward around 9000 times, almost three times the figure from two years ago. john maguire has more. good morning, everyone.

every morning, staff at yeovil hospital meet to plan the day ahead to determine what care patients receive and where. treatments and recovery are of course paramount, but separate areas for men and women are an important factor here. so this is ward 6a, our elective orthopaedic ward, and here we have bays of men and women, which have their toilet and bathroom within the bay, which means if you are in a male bay you can use the bathroom within the bay and you don‘t have to travel between the two. we also have side rooms where you can go if you need specific care or if we can‘t accommodate you in a male bay, we can use side rooms, so you still have that privacy and dignity there. for the past six years, nhs hospitals in england have been fined £250 if a patient is in mixed accommodation. there hasn‘t been a breach in the system in yeovil since september. here, in the hospital‘s operations room, they monitor real—time information on patient admissions, discharges and whereabouts. we know that if patients are nursed by the right

people at the right time in the right place that actually, their length of stay does decrease and their risks to staying in hospital are minimised and reduced. in 2013, the health secretary told his party conference that mixed sex wards had virtually gone. the first time the breaches were measured was in december 2010. that month alone, there were 11,802 cases. the new government policy saw the number drop markedly. at its lowest point, it was 2,431, not per month, but for the whole year in 2014. since then, though, they‘ve risen. the latest annual figure was 9003. mixed sex wards have been banned in scotland for 12 years and in wales, rules state separate facilities should be provided wherever possible. neither publish their data centrally. the breaches increase when hospitals are under the most pressure. figures for mental health

trust are far lower, as there are fewer hospitals. but the health watchdog the care quality commission found some hospitals in the sector are not following the rules. this woman has bipolar disorder and was placed in mixed accommodation when she was admitted. she has asked to remain anonymous. i‘ve had incidents where males have tried to pursue me, pushing notes under my door. with shared bathrooms, shared lounge facilities and dining facilities, there‘s no way you can be private as a female. especially if the males are unwell themselves. following you around and encouraging you to leave the ward with them. that‘s my experience. being encouraged whilst unwell to escape the wards. the figures only measure beds, not shared bathrooms or other rooms such as lounges, so campaigners argue the problem is underreported. if there‘s just one person who‘s in a mixed sex setting, where their privacy or dignity is compromised, or where they feel unsafe or where they are unsafe, that‘s one person

too many. this is the 21st century. we ought to be able to provide at the very least a setting for somebody that‘s safe and therapeutic. smaller bays of beds or single ensuite rooms are becoming more commonplace. the health regulator, nhs improvement, says: but the pressure to cope in extremely busy hospitals means beds of whatever type will always be in high demand. the headlines are coming up, but first, a look at the weather. here‘s matt. some in the south and east will avoid showers altogether. the

showers are most frequent in scotland, and it is windy. it will bea scotland, and it is windy. it will be a brighter day in north east scotla nd be a brighter day in north east scotland than yesterday. temperatures in the south—east of england, 22 celsius. showers will be confined to the north of scotland overnight. under clear skies, it will be a chilly night. temperatures in the countryside are down into single figures at the start of sunday morning. a fresh start, but they lovely, bright one for the vast majority, showers in scotland clearing. the clouded areas will be south west england, wales and northern ireland. it will feel warmer than today, given the lighter winds. the rain will spread into other parts of southern england. goodbye for now. hello. this is bbc news.
