welcome to bbc news. spain's interior minister says the terror cell behind the two vehicle attacks on thursday and friday, which left 1a people dead, has now been dismantled. officials believe the cell consisted of 12 young men, most of them moroccan nationals. however the hunt is still on for one man, younes abouyaaquob, who police believe may have been the driver of the van, which killed 13 people and injured 130 more in barcelona. james reynolds has sent this report. this morning in barcelona, the mayor opens the book of condolences. the city has lost residents of its own and visitors from abroad.

the attacks surprised barcelona. it is the first time the city has been hit in more than 30 years. barcelona now follows the same rhythm of mourning familiar to so many other cities on this continent. this footage from a museum security camera appears to show part of the attack. the van goghs at great speed through las ramblas. passers—by run for their lives. the police type this attack to the one in the town of cambrils in which five suspects were shot dead. at first investigators believe that one of the cambrils suspects was also the barcelona attacker but now they are investigating the possibility that 22—year—old younes abouyaaqoub from morocco may have carried out the attack. he is currently at large. seven—year—old julian cadman got

separated from his mother, who was injured. his family are trying to find him. i am worried. i cannot hear anything. i want to hear what is happening. the authorities are keeping victims‘ bodies at the medical institute. the king of spain has visited the injured recovering in hospitals. it may take some time for all those killed to be identified and publicly named. we're going to show you a live shot taking place at the moment in las ramblas. you can see there residents, tourists, many people who've travelled to the site of that attack on thursday night, gathering and paying tribute. clive myrie is in barcelona for us. he's been finding out what impact

that attack has had on the residents there. it's happening everywhere and we are knowing that someday it's going to happen here, because it's a very, very important city, very tourist city. it's a very, well, it's a target, very clear target. when these things happen near your home 01’ near these things happen near your home or near the people that you love and all that, because my sister was having lunch here with her boyfriend one hour before all the things happened and all that. so you had relatives in the area just before that vehicle came down here? yeah, that's it. a lot of friends are working near here and they're trapped in the shops because the police told them not to go outside because it could be dangerous. do you feel safe in the city now?|j feel you feel safe in the city now?” feel safe — well, maybe not safe like before. you're concerned, worried? maybe right now it's more

safe because there's a lot of police around, a lot of investigations all that. people that this, well, not that. people that this, well, not that safe like before. well i feel safe in my city because, i don't know, it's my city and the people are shouting all the time, "we're not afraid". we have to come to our lives and do normal life and all that. we don't have to let these things affect us and all that. we have to fight against this. you can't let the terrorists win. i've been here for the last two or three days now. that sense of defiance and strength is very evident in everyone here. yeah, that's it. yesterday was massive. the minute of silence here, there was a lot of people here. i think it's in catalonia always think about the way of the things. i think we're doing things right. we're solving the problem very good. i

don't know, i think that people, the police and the politics and all that are trying to make people feel safe. they're doing it very well. the interior minister said that the spanish government have been receiving assistance from other countries regarding the victims of the attack and also their support and help in the investigation itself. moving on. security officials in finland say a british citizen was injured in the knife attack in the city of turku yesterday, in which two people were killed. police are treating it as a terrorist incident, saying the 18—year—old moroccan suspect appeared to have targeted women. he was shot and wounded by officers. four people have been arrested at an apartment. donald trump has thanked his former chief strategist, steve bannon, for his service, after he was fired

from his job at the white house. mr bannon — who was seen as the architect of mr trump's right—wing agenda — has vowed to continue to fight the president's opponents. he'll return to a role at the ultra—conservative website, breitbart news. david willis reports. steve bannon, widely credited for helping steer donald trump to victory, he was one of the most powerful men in the white house. 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. steve bannon has now returned to right—wing website breitbart news, which he ran before leaving tojoin the trump campaign a year ago. 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 trump presidency that they fought for and won is now over.

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 see what happens with mr bannon. by the time donald trump had made that less than ringing endorsement of his special adviser earlier this week the die was cast. steve bannon‘s clashes with more moderate forces in the west wing coupled with renewed accusations following the violence in charlottesville that he harboured white nationalist sympathies helped seal his fate. all of which leaves the president an 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. earlier, today my colleague rachel schofield spoke to new york observer columnist andre walker. he worked with steve bannon at breitbart for two years,

between 2014 and 2016. he began by giving an insight into what it was like to work with mr bannon. i used to work as a house of commons staffer before i worked for breitbart. you're used to people being polite and friendly to your face and stabbing you in the back. steve bannon is not like that. he's very direct. he's very focussed. he seemed to only 3 doors 0r four hours a night —— only three orfour hours a night —— only three orfour hours a night. i can understand how the establishment hated him because of his directness. but he hates them as well so it was a mutual feeling. that tough talking makes us think that trump would like that. we see him being a man who kind of speaks his mind, puts it out there. what unravelled the relationship there? the bannon narrative to be that the problem here is that not everybody in the white house is ideologically

on side. there are a series of people more like the republican establishment which steve bannon hates. he sometimes felt isolated within the white house. he certainly feels and he's got good reason to feels and he's got good reason to feel this, that he is the person that's the link between the surge of people that got donald trump into the white house and donald trump himself. now whether donald trump felt that steve bannon by being that quy felt that steve bannon by being that guy in the middle was getting a bit big for his boots, i don't know. i would argue that had bannon not been on side trump would never have had the phenomenal success he had. he needed breitbart, the insurgency. and bannon led that. with the loss of bannon do we see a change in policy, the change in policy direction? steve bannon himself said that the trump presidency that he voted for and supported was now dead. what he means by that is that there's no longer an automatic assumption that all of the policies that he want to push through will necessarily be enacted. it's now a case by case basis. the case will

have to be made by the right of the republican party, as it's made by the moderates in the party. you hear bannon saying, i've got my weapon back, i'm back at breitbart. i've got the power to push forward that agenda. he will be galvanising people in the way that only steve bannon can. he will motivate them. what he will say is — look, it's not trump, it's the people around him. then i think breitbart will launch a pretty savage attack on those people. you saw it already with hr mcmasters. breitbart won't be impressed by the people they see as the swamp. the big problem is that donald trump was supposed to drain the swamp not drown bannon in the swamp. there are moderates that will hope there will be a change of vision. without a doubt. if you think about it, it's been quite difficult so far. they've not got through the reform of 0bamacare, which was something that really the moderates stifled the right of the

republicans, if you want to call them that, the right of the trump movement, the breitbart people — certainly they will kick back as well. having their standard bearer, the man in chief, their chief of staff at breitbart has to enhance that. for people who weren't familiar with breitbart give us a sense of the power he may wield being back there and in charge of something where he can be more free wheeling. the difference really between breitbart and the bbc is not necessarily the issue of neutrality, it's more to do with the fact that they're it's more to do with the fact that they‘ re really it's more to do with the fact that they're really big on social media. so they're the 13th most shared website on facebook, which eclipses even the bbc. you see the bbc has such a large organisation, but even it doesn't have that sort of power. so what they do is they write up articles that really talk about issues that people don't normally talk about, specifically on things like immigration and terrorism. they are shared pretty massively. the ability to shape that message and to be pretty famous as steve bannon is now, that will be significant. breitbart is, by the way, the 73 rd most popular website in america. we

we re most popular website in america. we were chatting before you came on air, you were saying, it was interesting, bannon was back in to breitbart speedily. it wasn't oh, i'll have a holiday for two weeks 110w i'll have a holiday for two weeks now i'm not in the oval office. he wa nted now i'm not in the oval office. he wanted to get his hands back on the power. it pre-dates. it he was with the — they often call him the republican super donor robert mercer. he's one of the biggest shareholders in breitbart. presumably, i don't have inside knowledge, if they were talking on wednesday, and he's back on friday, he was talking before he was fired. he may have seen the writing on the wall. and probably there will be another big increase in breitbart‘s funding and its power. nearly 600 people have been killed — and 16 million seriously affected— by floods in south asia. the monsoon storms have been sweeping across bangladesh, india and nepal. aid agencies say the region's facing it's worst humanitarian

crisis for many years. andy moore reports. the aid agencies say these are the worst floods to hit south east asia in many years, a humanitarian crisis is feared. medicines and food are being taken by boat to the affected areas. the red cross said millions of people faced hunger and disease. the situation could get worse in the days and weeks ahead. in bangladesh more than a third of the country is under water. four million people are affected. at least 56 have died. this woman said she had never seen such a flood. her house had been washed away and now there was no food. in india bridges have been destroyed making it difficult to reach those who need help. thousands are building makeshift shelters wherever they can on higher ground. save the children said the immediate situation was desperate and further heavy rain is forecast.

the headlines at just the headlines atjust gone 2. 15pm: spanish police say they believe the driver of the van, which ploughed into pedestrians in barcelona is still at large. an international manhunt is now under way for chief suspect, younes abouyaaquob. donald trump has thanked steve bannon for his role in getting him located. the tweet praising mr bannon comes less than 2a hours after he was fired by the president as his chief strategist. 0fficials strategist. officials say more than 16 million people have now been affected by seasonal flooding across south irishament the floods in nepal —— south asia. the floods are thought to have killed almost 600 people. some breaking news: it'sjust coming

into us here. we're hearing via ani, which is the times of india, that six coaches of a train in india have jumped railway tracks. that's in uttar pradesh. it's believed many are injured and have been taken to a local hospital. rescue operations are under way. the train was actually on its way to a religious town in the foot his of the himalayas on its way from another major temple town to the east of the eegs. —— east of the region. six coaches of a train in india have jumped railway tracks. rescue operations are under way and those injured have been taken to a local

hospital. as and when we get more, we will bring that to you. 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 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. two men have appeared in court charged with murder, after the body of a woman was found in a burning car in sunderland

earlier this week. 39—year—old stephen unwin, from houghton, and william mcfall, who's 50 and from blackpool, appeared at newcastle crown court this morning. they were remanded in custody. the president of nigera, muhammadu buhari, is returning to his country today, after spending three months in london for medical treatment. the 74—year—old says he feels healthy enough to return home now, but his absence has prompted numerous protests in nigeria, including demands that he should resign. the president is expected to address the nation on monday at 7am. then we will know whether he's going to take up will know whether he's going to take up his duties or like the last time he came back, he said he was going to rest for a few days. we will know on monday whether he's going to take up on monday whether he's going to take up his duties immediately or going to rest for some days before

returning to office. remind us, our viewers, who's been in charge, who has held the reins of power while he's been away? when the president was leaving on may 7, he handed over power to his vice president, who has beenin power to his vice president, who has been in charge since then. the president has been away for over 100 days now and he has been receiving treatment in london for an ailment. we do not know. we are expecting more explanation from the presidency and the government as soon as he arrives today. for the average person taking on 11 jobs in their career, a job for life appears to be a thing of the past. with different employers come different pension pots. that can make keeping track of your finances rather confusing. so, as money box presenter, louise

cooper has been finding out, the government is looking to simplify thing. we have in front of us all your pensions paperwork... 55—year—old john from newbury has had eightjobs since he started work at the age of 20. he knows he's paid into a variety of pensions but keeping hold of all the paperwork has been a problem. as i was reaching 55, i decided to review my pension situation. it was then that i realised i know very, very little about mys pensions except for the fa ct i about mys pensions except for the fact i had one big pension when i worked in a company for quite a long period of time. the department for work and pensions estimate there is currently £400 million in unclaimed pension savings and john worries he might be adding to the pot. definitely when i worked as a nurse, i don't know what happened to that paperwork. no idea at all. later, when i worked in another company, i contributed, i have no idea — i have no paperwork with that. that was

over 20, 25 years ago. no, no paperwork with that. that was over20, 25 years ago. no, i no paperwork with that. that was over 20, 25 years ago. no, i haven't got any paperwork for that at all. john's not alone. the government have recognised that this is a big problem, so they asked the association of british insurers to work with the industry to create an online dashboard, a place where people can log on and see all their pensions in one place. so this is the dashboard? right. for this hypothetical test person, we found eight pensions. eight? you can see? they are listed here. you can see that he's got his state pension from the department for work and pensions. he can get additional information there. we found that he also has two final salary schemes. and you have also five, another five job that's he had, defined contribution pension schemes. all of

that together is added up and it says you've gotjust over £4,000 a month to look forward. to lucky noah. he's very lucky! he's doing just fine. currently, 16 pension providers have signed up, accounting for £34 million pensions overall, but this is less than half of all pensions. you have a coalition that are willing, that's great. ultimately there's inertia and people have other priorities. trustees have other priorities. there has to be a clear signalfrom government — this has to be done. if you don't do it you're breaking the law. then we will actually have that sort of service for people available. the dashboard should be available. the dashboard should be available in 2019 and it's the type of service that people likejohn will find invaluable when it comes to working out their income in retirement. they're banned in scotland, labour pledged to abolish them

elsewhere and the lib dems have described their use as "an affront to basic human dignity". mixed—gender wards are highly controversial and — back in 2013 — the health secretary, jeremy hunt, announced they'd been "virtually eliminated" in england. yet despite this, bbc breakfast has found that in the last year alone, men and women were treated in the same room around 9000 times. that's 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 9,003. 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. 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 is 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. we're going find out how the weather's looking. i believe it's kind of a mixed bag. glorious in london. what about elsewhere? exactly a day of dodging showers. some of us are dodging more than others. the lion's share across wales, into england, northern ireland and scotland. in southern and eastern england spells of sunshine here. the showers merge to bring longer spells of rain across scotland. in the sunshine, further south and east 20 or 21. showers around this evening but slowly they will lose their energy. 0vernight it becomes largely dry, a few showers clipping north west england and parts of scotland as well. typically temperatures to between 10 and 13

celsius. in the countryside, down to five or six. a chilly start to the day tomorrow. then we see this system pushing in from the atlantic and starting to effect south—western parts of england through the morning, introducing more cloud, bringing patchy rain. that will push into southern parts of wales through the afternoon and eventually into northern ireland. for much of the country, for much of the day, it should be drier with lighter winds, spells of sunshine. hence just feeling warmer with highs between 17 and 22 celsius. the headlines. spain is tightening security at busy tourist areas after the deadly vehicle attacks in barcelona and cambrils. a manhunt is still underway for the man who may have driven the van into las ramblas.
