attack. the incident led to a lockdown of the area. police confirmed it was a road traffic collision. a man detained by officers is under arrest and in police custody. the prime minister has said "my thanks to the first responders at this incident this afternoon and the actions of members of the public. my thoughts are with the injured." the incident took place on exhibition road, which passes right next to the natural history museum, and other popular tourist attractions, including the science museum and the royal albert hall. this report is from correspondent june kelly. this scene on one of london's busiest roads just after 2:20pm. a man pinned to the ground and held after a car is said to have ploughed into pedestrians outside

the natural history museum in exhibition road. a number of people we re exhibition road. a number of people were injured. the museum is a magnet for visitors, especially families on a saturday afternoon. we were sitting outside the restaurant. people started running. people were saying, run. i heard a noise. we ran with everybody else and everything seemed to calm down. we try to walk back to the natural history museum. and then everything went mental with police cars and a lockdown. there was panic as people first ran around the corner is especially as they had children, there was screaming for the children, said the first 30 seconds was panic but it quickly calmed down. a large area in south kensington is cordoned off. 0nce again, londoners face disruption. let's talk to our home affairs correspondent dominic casciani. this is confirmed as a road traffic

accident. bring us up to date please. that is right. now confirmed asa please. that is right. now confirmed as a road traffic accident and it is as a road traffic accident and it is a case of move along, nothing here to see any more. traffic is moving outside the natural history museum next to the victoria and albert and things are returning to normal after this abnormal afternoon. when we arrived two hours ago you had the full police kit, all resources of a major investigation swinging into action after this strange incident in which 11 people have been injured. when we arrived there was a large police cordoned going back to the edges of the museum. the south kensington tube was closed off and bars and kensington tube was closed off and bars a nd restau ra nts kensington tube was closed off and bars and restaurants are evacuated. everything was calm. the police effectively triggered a well drilled response to a potential serious

incident. the worst—case scenario they thought it could be terrorism and they put plans into action by shifting people as quickly as possible, people in bars and restau ra nts possible, people in bars and restaurants in coming out of the museum were told to get as far away as possible when they set up the containment area. as possible when they set up the containmentarea. behind me as possible when they set up the containment area. behind me between the traffic is the car at the centre of this. it is effectively wedged at the end of the pavement on exhibition road, which leads between the natural history museum and science museum and victoria and albert. it was that car that mounted the pavement. we are not sure of the reasons why, and ended up where it is. scenes of crime officers have been here and we saw a dog section at one point, always an indication they may be looking for traces of explosives. those are the resources

police will bring to bear on something on the face of it looks like terrorism but thankfully in this case turned out to be a road traffic accident. the driver is currently in custody. thank you. and we'll find out how this story — and many others — are covered in the front pages of the sunday newspapers. at 10:30 and 11:30pm this evening in the papers — our guests joining me tonight are martin lipton, deputy head of sport at the sun and the political commentator, daisy mcandrew. there are renewed fears for the future of jobs at the bombardier aerospace factory in belfast. the us government has announced a further increase in tariffs on planes made by the company, making it prohibitively expensive to import them. the united states claims bombardier has received unfair financial support from the uk and canada — where the planes are assembled. our business correspondent joe lynam reports. bombardier and its predecessor, short‘s, have been at the heart

of the manufacturing economy in belfast for decades. 4000 skilled workers make high—tech composite wings in a province which doesn't have many of those jobs. but over the past fortnight, potential american tariffs have placed a huge question mark over their future. now, in a new blow, the us commerce department has slapped a further 80% tariff on bombardier planes, meaning all of its largest aircraft could soon face import duties of up to 300% in america. it looms very large over these workers and it's time for this british government to actually step up for british workers. we see it within britain being bullied now. the british government being bullied by boeing. the eu needs to step in because of the fact they're being bullied now, too. it needs to stop, it needs to stop now. and for bombardier workers it's a waiting game. we know we've still got a job to do. and keep our fingers crossed we are keeping that one down and keep working away you know.

it'll affect the whole company, probably. whatever the outcome is. and this is the plane that the americans object to. the c series is assembled in canada with wings made and sent from belfast. but the americans claim it has received $1 billion in subsidies from the canadians, which allows it to undercut boeing in bidding for contracts. this whole row puts the government, especially the business department, in something of a bind. it is kept in power by the dup. the bombardierfactory is dup heartland. but boeing, which initiated these tariffs, employs even more people, almost 19,000 people, elsewhere in the uk. and its building a new factory in sheffield. we have an international regulatory regime which has worked extremely well. these type of measures threaten competition and innovation and as a consequence that's bad news

for consumers wherever they are. these 300% tariffs are recommendations by one branch of the us government. if there is no solution, though, they will come into force in february. in that time, the nails of thousands of workers here, and trade negotiators on both sides of the atlantic, will be bitten down to the quick. joe lynam, bbc news. tens of thousands of people have rallied in the spanish capital madrid — calling for national unity after last sunday's disputed referendum for catalan independence. the spanish government has said it will not allow catalonia to break away. last weekend hundreds of people were injured as national police attempted to disrupt the vote. from madrid, james reynolds reports. demonstrators in spain's capital have chosen to display their colours. thousands of people in madrid came out to say that this country should

not be broken into pieces, and that catalonia must give up its plans to declare independence. by contrast, these demonstrators in barcelona's santjaume square stripped themselves of spanish or even catalan colours. they're from a new campaign group called shall we talk? i am here personally because i think that we need a dialogue. politicians haven't been doing theirjob really well. 0ur sole objective is that people, above all politicians, talk to each other. we've seen for too long a confrontation between both sides and we think now the people have to show that we want dialogue. a similar demonstration in favour of dialogue was held here in the southern city of alicante. the middle ground in spain is now trying to make itself heard. here in madrid, and across in barcelona, protesters await a reply

police in russia have detained more than a hundred opposition activists for taking part in a wave of anti—kremlin protests across the country. the demonstrations were in support of opposition leader alexei navalny — who is serving a 20—day jail term for violating rules on public meetings. a criminal conviction means he can't run for next year's presidential election, which navalny supporters say was politically motivated. president vladimir putin is widely expected to run for the fourth term. 0ur correspondent sarah rainsford is in moscow and sent this update a short time ago. these are extraordinary scenes for russia. this crowd is heading down russia's main street to the kremlin and they are chanting slogans against president putin, calling him a thief and corrupt. they are now heading to the kremlin. the riot police are accompanying them but at the moment they are not intervening, they are escorting

them down the street. you are not afraid to be here? we have no choice, we must be here. we have no future with putin. the only chance for us in this country, not to leave country, not to live abroad is alexei navalny. the point is to support alexei navalny‘s bid to run for the presidency. he has gathered crowds in support for the bid for the presidency. officially he is not allowed to run because he has a criminal sentence but he says he has huge support and wants to prove that by being allowed to run. they are heading to the underpass and the police have moved in to block the way through to red square and the kremlin and have done the same above ground, trying to keep protesters as far away as possible

from the seat of power. perhaps the strangest thing about this is it appears to have ended without mass arrests. the riot police normally move in quickly in situations like this but this time the police seem to have stood back and let the protest take place. some councils say they're not getting the money they need to carry out urgent safety improvements on tower blocks following the grenfell disaster. a number of local authorities in england and wales say requests for government funds for refurbishment are being rejected because they're deemed non—essential. angus crawford explains. it was a fire no one thought possible. flames engulfing the building, spreading through the cladding in minutes. raising urgent questions about blocks like these in billingham. 0r here on merseyside. fire tests showed more than 100 weren't safe. some residents had to be evacuated, leaving them fearful,

confused and frustrated. four miles from grenfell, councillor adam hug says these flats need millions of pounds of repairs. for blocks such as this across westminster and across the country, there needs to have sprinklers retrofitted. for now the government won't pay, leaving the council to foot the bill. nothing is coming from government, and that means fewer affordable homes will be built and residents will be dealing with poorer repairs for the next 20—30 years. the horror of what happened here exposed dangers in buildings across the country. rightly or wrongly, some councils believe the government made a pledge to pay for all the work to make tower blocks safe. after the fire, public anger mounted, and ministers promised action. whatever it takes we will take the expert advice, do whatever it

takes to make those buildings safe, or make those people safe. whatever it takes. we have to be led by the experts but there can be no short cuts to this. but today the government said building owners are responsible for funding measures designed to make a building safe. and urged councils to come forward if they had funding concerns. it was a national tragedy. but who now will pay to make sure it never happens again? the headlines on bbc news: 11 people have been injured in an accident outside london's natural history museum, after a car mounted the pavement and struck pedestrians. police say it's not terror—related — one man has been arrested following the accident. and there are renewed fears for the future of jobs at the bombardier aircraft factory

in belfast after the us government announced a further increase in tariffs on planes made by the canadian company. police investigating the las vegas shooting say they have yet to establish the motive of the gunman, stephen paddock. he killed 58 people at a country music festival in the city last sunday. police say they have examined more than 1,000 leads since then, but still don't have any clear explanation for his actions. luxmy gopal reports. six days on from stephen paddock killing 58 people and injuring so hundreds at a music festival in las vegas and police still don't know why he did it. the 64—year—old opened fire from his hotel room before turning the gun on himself. at a press briefing, the las vegas metropolitan police department said they've gone through more than a thousand leads

in the investigation. we have looked at everything, literally, to include the suspect‘s personal life, any political affiliation, his social behaviours, economic situation and any potential radicalisation that so many have claimed. we have been down each and every single one of these paths, trying to determine why, to determine who else may have known of these plans. the police have ruled out the possibility that there was another shooter in the room with paddock. but they haven't established what he was planning to do with the 50lb of explosives found in his car at the hotel. meanwhile, officials from las vegas airport say a bullet fired during the shooting pierced a jet fuel storage tank 2,000 feet from the gunman‘s hotel window. there was no fire or explosion and the authorities won't speculate on whether paddock was aiming to hit the tank. it leaves yet more questions at a time when the nation wants

answers, when those grieving for loved ones are trying to make sense of this senseless loss of life. luxmy gopal, bbc news. danish police say they have found the head and legs of a swedish journalist, two months after she disappeared after interviewing an inventor on board his homemade submarine. peter madsen is alleged to have killed 30—year—old kim wall, after she boarded his submarine on the 10th of august. her headless torso was found in the water off copenhagen nearly two weeks later. madsen says wall died by accident after a heavy hatch cover struck her on the head. ports have been closed and evacuations ordered in the central united states, as a storm forecast to be a category two hurricane intensifies on its approach. hurricane nate has already caused

widespread devastation across central america. 25 people have been killed in costa rica, nicaragua and honduras, where heavy rains have caused landslides and flooding. nearly 400,000 people are without running water in costa rica. concerns are growing for the world's donkey population because of a demand for their skins in china where they're used in traditional medicine. british charity the donkey sanctuary is leading an international campaign to halt the trade in donkey skins and meat until it can be properly regulated. africa is being particularly badly hit as the animals are vitally important for poorer communities. hit as the animals are vitally alastair leithead reports from kenya. across africa, donkeys are working animals. this is a common sight in the continent, but their future is in jeopardy. carlos makes a living delivering water, earning just £3 to £4 on a good day. but now he has to rent a donkey,

after his was stolen and killed for its skin. that is more than half his income. he's upset talking about the animal he looked after and worked with for four years and now it is affecting his family. translation: it is a big difference to me now. i don't have enough money. i have not paid my rent. and i have people who depend on me. donkeys are an important part of the economy, in poorer neighbourhoods particularly. here filling up as water trucks when there is no mains supply. dropping off concrete for building works and sometimes acting as removal vans. the price of a donkey has doubled in two years, because they are in demand. this is one of kenya's three donkey abattoirs. brought in from across the country, they are sold by live weight.
