at the trump administration's plans to build a wall along the us—mexico border. good evening and welcome to bbc news. spain's interior minister says the terror cell behind the attacks there this week has been broken up. officials believe the cell consisted of 12 young men, most of them moroccan nationals. however the hunt is still on for one man — younes abu—yaaquob who police believe may have been the man who drove the van which killed 13 people and injured 130 more in barcelona on thursday. james reynolds reports. barcelona, for so long free from attacks, now has

to rewrite its own history. this morning the mayor, ada colau, made the first entry into a book of condolence, others followed. translation: i came to express my sympathy with the victims. i also want to show that we are not afraid and that we will carry on. the attacks here surprised barcelona, it's the first time this 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 tears down the ramblas, passer—by run for their lives. gunfire. the police tie this attack to the one in the town of cambrils in which five suspects were shot dead. the authorities say that no new attacks are imminent, they believe that they've largely

broken up the network responsible for the attacks in both barcelona and the coastal town of cambrils. at first, investigators believed that one of the cambrils suspects, 17—year—old moussa 0ukabir, was also the barcelona attacker, but now they're investigating the posibility that 22—year—old younes abouyaaqoub, from morocco, may have carried out the attack. he is currently at large. translation: to confirm, there is an arrest warrant against the person that has been recently named by the media, as i'm sure you'll all know. the police are still looking for that person. spain's king felipe and queen letizia have been on their own rounds, they've gone to see victims still recovering in barcelona's hospitals. the injured come from more than 30 countries. there's still no confirmed word on the whereabouts or condition

of seven—year—old julian cadman from britain and australia. but the local police say that everyone caught up in the attack has been accounted for. applause. and tonight, on the ramblas residents cheered taxi drivers who gave free rides on the day of the attack. this city, like so many others, now has to choose how it lives. james reynolds, bbc news, barcelona. several of the men behind the attacks grew up in the small town of ripoll, north of barcelona. most were the children of moroccan immigrants. our correspondent, wyre davies, has been to ripoll, to speak to people there about the extremists who lived among them. the small chocolate box mountain town of ripoll in the foothills of the spanish pyrenees. the last place you'd expect as a breeding ground for a gang of radical islamist militants preparing to mayhem and murder. on the main road into town today,

armed officers checking cars and lorries as spain hunts down all of those responsible for the attacks in barcelona and cambrils. although the spanish government says the cell that carried out these attacks has now been dismantled, little is known about this small group of young men, mainly of moroccan descent, who apparently became radicalised and planned their attacks in the most unlikely of places. at least seven young men from this small town either died during the attacks or have been arrested since thursday. they include, moussa 0ukabir, said aallaa and mohamed hychami, all three were killed by police in cambrils, on friday morning. also from ripoll is younes abouyaaqoub, who is still on the run.

at the small mosque in ripoll, where the boys and young men sometimes prayed, but were by no means devout, community leaders were almost speechless, distraught by what has happened. "we didn't really know the boys or what they were up to", says ali, who has been in charge of the mosque since the imam left two months ago. "they sometimes came to pray", he says, "but if we'd known their plans we would have gone straight to the police." in the last two days, several suspects and known associates of the attackers have been arrested. the former imam's home has been searched and no—one left in ripoll, a town where everyone knows everyone, can quite believe it. at the beginning the people in ripoll were in shock because in a big town, in a big city, it's easy to find isolated communities, but not in a place like ripoll because most of these young people would participate in many activities. a 22—year—old son of this town

is currently the most wanted man in spain. after what he and the others are accused of doing, tt will take ripoll years to recover. wyre davies, bbc news. earlier, i spoke to our correspondent gavin lee in barcelona, who said people weren't keeping away from the las ramblas area. they were trying to demonstrate they would not be cowed by the attacks. yes, on the face of it, it looks like it is getting back to normal, you can spot the police very quickly, vehicles by the police have been placed in strategic locations so it is difficult to get cars on here. what strikes me is in las ramblas there has been a great effort by stallholders, people today coming back to pick up the pieces from work. i have spoken to you before from paris, nice, brussels and london after the attacks there and there is a similar pattern of people placing flowers, candles, the silence, moments of applause.

taxis went past earlier and thousands of people cheered and said thank you for those who helped with the free journeys after the attack itself. yesterday though there was a sudden noise in the street and thousands, you can imagine the scene behind me, of people started to run behind me to catalunya square — it is a place on edge at the same time, people are feeling nervous. especially when we are in the centre of the manhunt for that key suspect, younes abouyaaqoub, the 22—year—old, who police are still trying to track down. it's very easy for journalists and

the public to blame the police, the authorities. but this has been the first attack in spain for many yea rs. first attack in spain for many years. is this really a case of we have got to get it right every time and they only have to get it right once, or could this attack have been avoided? there are rumours that the cia warns spain that this was coming. no, i think cia warns spain that this was coming. no, ithink spanish anti—terrorism is perhaps the best in europe. they have foiled several of these attacks. in 2016 bid foiled a 12. some of them even in placa de catalu nya, a 12. some of them even in placa de catalunya, a a 12. some of them even in placa de catalu nya, a very a 12. some of them even in placa de catalunya, a very symbolic important place. for a terrorist attack. u nfortu nately, place. for a terrorist attack. unfortunately, they only have to get it right once and this is what has happened. i just it right once and this is what has happened. ijust want it right once and this is what has happened. i just want to show our viewers the images on las ramblas. a remarkable scene, huge number of people who have been there all day and continue to be there all night.

many coming to pay their respects laying candles and flowers. some shopping, others continuing with their holiday or their day in defiance of terrorism. are you saying that they are right not to be fea rful saying that they are right not to be fearful in las ramblas or anywhere else in spain and europe? absolutely. yes. some people said, they knew that placid catalunya and las ramblas were the most important targets, therefore they should have blocked the entrances of las ramblas ought to la circuit de catalunya after the cia had alerted them, but the truth is if we agree to live in a fortress, they have won their battle. we had to go on living our life because that we are stronger. this is our life, our city, our world. we cannot just

this is our life, our city, our world. we cannotjust protect ourselves by accepting that they are a threat and we cannot —— that we cannot handle. i would say that the spanish authorities, the spanish anti—terrorist and the local police in barcelona have done a fantastic job. unfortunately, you cannot prevent everything. we need a new strategy, a european strategy. but, loretta is it just strategy, a european strategy. but, loretta is itjust about that? don't you think more now needs to be done? there has been such a huge loss of life particularly during the last year with the use of vehicles on pavements. we know that this cell was planning to use a bomb and that went wrong. when you look at the profiles, these are practically kids. they are young men preparing to kill others and be killed doing it. don't you think there needs to be more done by stopping terrorism

by reacting to it but something it happening in the first place? how do we stop the radicalisation? we saw a minute ago europe ought about the place where these people were coming from. —— we saw a minute ago your report. catalunya from. —— we saw a minute ago your report. catalu nya is from. —— we saw a minute ago your report. catalunya is the region that has seen the highest percentage of immigration from the maghreb. we should reach out to was that kind of population. we need emus and community to work with us on their own territory —— we need the muslim community to work with us on their own territory to fight radicalisation. if the muslim population not doing that?” radicalisation. if the muslim population not doing that? i think they want to do that, we have to find the right formula to get them on board our fight. find the right formula to get them on board ourfight. it's not easy. there is a lot of racial tension in

catalu nya there is a lot of racial tension in catalunya but also in the rest of europe, especially today. but that is what we have to do and we have to do it at global level. it cannot only be done in catalunya. it has to be done in france, in manchester, everywhere in europe. we need to reinvent the box. that is what the anti—terrorist in europe and the european union and our government should be doing. thanks forjoining us should be doing. thanks forjoining us from montana in the united states. and we'll find out how this story — and many others — are covered in sunday mornings front pages at 10:30 and 11:30pm in the papers. our guestsjoining me tonight are anne ashworth, associate editor at the times and bonnie greer, playwright and writer at the new european. join us if you can. tens of thousands of anti—racism demonstrators have gathered in the us city of boston.

they are protesting against what was billed as a "free speech rally" featuring far—right speakers. they rally has now ended but protesters remain in the city. on the line is mark arsenault, a reporter at the boston globe. thank you forjoining us. why are the processor is still there if the rally is over? my guess is that the right wing rally was just the butter is for this massive demonstration. the people are really angry about the demonstration in charlottesville last week where a collection of white nationalists demonstrated carrying torches and john did not see slogans and a woman was killed —— and chanting nazi slogans. a car was ploughed into a group of people. that was what the crowd were

responding to. this little band of far right speakers were not very impressive. they had a couple of dozen people and they were very far away from the rest of the crowd, they were kept there by the police, nobody could hear what they were saying. is this anything provocative, nobody would know it. even after the police escorted that small group away, the townsfolk were still getting out a lot of anger over what happened in cha rlottesville over what happened in charlottesville and in this group, near boston, illiberal city, people are still angry about president trump's comments about the violence in cha rlottesville trump's comments about the violence in charlottesville for which she blamed both sides. interesting to see things like this, huge crowds turning out, antiracism crowds. are you getting a feeling that what we

are seeing year is antiracism —— is not just antiracism but also anti—trump. not just antiracism but also anti-trump. 0h, not just antiracism but also anti-trump. oh, yes, there is an anti—trump element. if you were to poll that group identity defined a handful of trump voters. there were some profane chance which i heard which i should not repeat on bbc about our president. he was never popular in massachusetts to begin with. they state supported hillary clinton in the election and his popularity has only gone down since he has been in office. so i doubt there was a handful of people there who voted for trump. it will be interesting to see what happens in other cities, even in areas where trump added a lot of support. thanks

for joining trump added a lot of support. thanks forjoining us. the headlines on bbc news... the spanish government says that the terror cell responsible for two man attacks has been dismantled. the hunt continues for two suspects who may have driven the van. awarof may have driven the van. a war of words between stephen hawking and the health secretary jeremy hunt over the state of the nhs. a british man injured in the knife attack in finland was stabbed as he tried to protect to women. sport now. and for a full round—up from the bbc sport centre, here's reshmin. believing. thanks very much. england's cricketers are in complete control of the first test against the west indies at edgbaston. the visitors have been forced to follow on, having been bowled out for 168 in theirfirst innings. as so often for england, james anderson did the damage — he took three wickets for 3h runs as the west indies batsmen collapsed. the only one to emerge with any credit was jermaine

blackwood, who ran out of partners at the crease and finished 79 not out. england made the west indies bat again. they need to reach 346. they are currently a eight. to the premier league, and stoke beat arsenal by 1—0 in the evening game. a goalforjese rodriguez on his home debut was enough to give mark hughes' side all three points. adam wild watched this one. so early in the season, a time to renew old rivalries and make some new introductions. jese only arrived in english football this week and it took less than three minutes for him took less than three minutes for him to make himself known to the arsenal defence. no luck here, but the warning was there. more familiar b—side of arsenal surging forward. they thought this deserve a penalty, the referee thought otherwise. for

jese, this was a day to enjoy the welcome and no better way than by doing this, the first golfers doak. he would —— the first goal for stoke. he would eventually be substituted but stoke fans had calls for the optimism. arsenal's hopes libor with their new start andrew moment it looked as if alexander lacquers at had fulfilled. but it was only a moment. the equaliser was not to come —— alexander lacquers that. it is a difficult defeat to swallow because of the chances we had, we should have won the game co mforta bly. had, we should have won the game comfortably. the drop point here of course is not welcome for us but on top of that, we were unlucky because

i think we scored a regular goal that was given offside and was not offside. it was the kind of game where you couldn't afford to make a defensive mistake, to give them after they played a final third, kicked the ball out and defended well and we couldn't find opening. manchester united sit top of the premier league tonight, after a comprehensive 4—0 win at swansea. hal robson—kanu scored, and a few minutes later saw red, as west brom beat burnley — that takes west brom to second in the table. watford are third after a 2—0 win at bournemouth. liverpool beat crystal palace by 1—0 to move into fourth. plenty of drama at st mary's, as west ham came from 2—0 down to make it 2—2, until a saints penalty in stoppage time gave them a 3—2 win. and another 2—0 defeat for brighton, this time to leicester. in the championship, striker chris wood withdrew from the leeds united side that faced sunderland in the tea—time kick off. wood, who scored 27 goals for leeds last season,

is reportedly close to a £15 million move to burnley. but leeds managed without him. samuel saiz gave them the lead in the first half. and stuart dallas made sure of the victory for the visitors, with a header 14 minutes from time. it's leeds' first win at the stadium of light since 2004. cardiff and ipswich remain at the top of the table, as both sides continued their winning starts to the season, with wins over wolves and brentford respectively. elsewhere, sheffield united beat barnsley in a south yorkshire derby where both teams finished with 10 men. aston villa picked up their first win of the season, beating norwich. newly—promoted bolton's home woes continued, as they lost to derby. it ended goalless between bristol and millwall. there were wins for wednesday, forest, preston north end and qpr. in the scottish premiership, celtic are top on goal difference, after their 2—0 win over kilmarnock. stjohnstone and aberdeen both also have nine points, after victories over partick thistle and dundee respectively. hamilton are fourth —

they beat hibs 3—1. motherwell beat ross county 2—0. rangers drew 0—0 with hearts. that's all for now. i be back in the next hour. professor stephen hawking, one of the world's most famous and foremost scientists, has launched a stinging attack on the government over the nhs. he's accused the health secretary jeremy hunt of "cherry picking" evidence to justify the creation of a seven—day nhs. mr hunt has rejected that and accused the nobel prize winning scientist of spreading falsehoods. our correspondent sarah campbell was at the royal college of medicine where professor hawking made his speech. professor hawking acknowledged that he would not be here today were it not for the expert care he received at the hands of the nhs, but he is concerned about its future and he did not pull any punches, accusing the health secretary of abusing science,

of cherry—picking studies in order to win the argument over whether levels of care at weekends in hospitals are dangerously low. hunt has cherry—picked research. speaking as a scientist, cherry—picking evidence is unacceptable. applause. ..citing some studies but suppressing others to justify policies that they want to implement for other reasons, that debases scientific culture. the issue of a seven—day nhs week has proved toxic in relations between the health secretary and much of the medical profession in england. it was at the heart of many of the recent strikes that led to cancelled operations. in 2015, jeremy hunt stated that 6000 people die each year because of a monday to friday culture in the nhs. he wanted more senior staff on shift at weekends. one study was widely quoted, showing death rates were higher for people admitted at the weekend. 16% for those admitted on a sunday, compared to 11% for those

admitted on a wednesday. the underlying reasons were much disputed, however. responding to the cherry—picking accusation, mr hunt tweeted... and the tweets have continued. professor hawking also said that he sees the nhs moving towards a us—style health insurance system and in a tweet, mr hunt said this afternoon it was a "pernicious falsehood". he continued, "is it too much to ask professor hawking to look at the evidence?" jeremy hunt has never shied away from taking on the medical profession and it seems he is not shying away from taking on arguably britain's greatest living scientist. 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 the attack as a terrorist incident, saying the 18—year—old moroccan suspect appeared to have targeted women. earlier, i spoke to our correspondent andy moore and asked him what we know about the brit who was caught up in the attack. he is hassan zubier who was born in the uk in dartford. he lived in the uk for some time before moving to sweden, where he has lived for some time. originally the finnish authorities said he was a swedish citizen but we know he is a british national. he has an incredible story to tell. he remains in hospital and has been briefly communicating with the bbc via facebook, despite his injuries. he said he is in pain, so the responses we have got from him are short, but we understand why. briefly, he said he was not a hero but did what he was trained for — he is a paramedic. he said he did his best and no more. yesterday he gave an interview to a swedish newspaper via telephone telling the story of what happened and he said he was on holiday in the area with his girlfriend when this attack started.

the first terror attack that there has been in finland. he said he went to the square and suddenly heard screaming, he turned around and saw a man with a knife hitting a woman on the ground and he said he tried to help the woman using his knowledge as a paramedic, tried to stop the blood flow. whilst doing that he was attacked, he was cut about four times. he said he returned to the woman lying on the ground, he saw that the woman was dying and he said that the woman was so badly injured she actually died in his arms. he did sustain injuries, we believe he was cut or stabbed four times. initially it was thought that he might lose the use of his hand because his nerves were damaged, but we understand his injuries may not be quite so significant now, not life—threatening. he has said that he will give a press conference tomorrow

when he will tell the world the whole story. eight people have been wounded in a knife attack in the russian city of surgut. the attacker was then shot dead by police. the man apparently stabbed passers—by on the street at random. but russia's investigations committee said it wouldn't comment on the possibility of terrorist motives, calling the attack "attempted murder". at least 23 people have died and 64 have been injured after a train derailment in india. the incident happened in the northern state of uttar pradesh. injured passengers have been rushed to a local hospital. rescue operations are under way. 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 is facing it's worst humanitarian crisis for many years.

there are growing concerns about food shortages and disease and tens of thousands of people have been displaced. 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. in the last hour president trump has tweeted that mr bannon will be a tough and smart voice at the right—wing news website. 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. donald melania trump rayudu skip and a rts donald melania trump rayudu skip and arts ceremony. some of those due to attend the kennedy centre honours... many have been angered by mr trump's plans to scrap funding. many angry about his reaction to the cha rlottesville about his reaction to the charlottesville protest as well. passengers aboard a jet2 flight from malaga to birmingham on friday have reported feeling "terrified" as their plane was shadowed by a french fighter jet for around 15 minutes. a spokesman forjet2 has said that they are "awaiting
