welcome to bbc news. three people have been killed in western germany, after a van drove into pedestrians, in the city of muenster. around 30 people were injured, some are in a critical condition. the driver of the vehicle died after shooting himself. a german newspaper said the man had psychological problems and n0 terrorist background. 0ur berlin correspondent, jenny hill reports. in the historic heart of one of germany's biggest university towns, a scene of horror. the old square was crowded, people enjoying the spring sunshine when a van plowed through what should be a pedestrianised zone. for those in its path, little chance to escape. this pavement cafe was full

of people eating, drinking, relaxing. it was a small restaurant and the people are sitting outside and then the van crashed into the restaurant. a major investigation is now under way. the driver, police say, killed himself after the crash. the scene, still cordoned off after officers found what they described as a suspicious object in van. translation: the suspect shot himself in the vehicle. his identity is still unclear. there is some eyewitness accounts of other culprits, possibly having fled the vehicle, but we are still investigating this and do not yet have an in—depth understanding of what happened. the authorities have urged the public to avoid speculation. too soon, they say to establish a motive. there are suggestions the driver may have been a man with mental health problems. but what happened here bears a strong resemblance to the berlin christmas market attack of 2016.

jenny hill, bbc news. 0ur correspondent caroline davies is here. does bring us up to date with what we know about the gunman. at the moment relatively little, but we are now hearing they believe that eyewitnesses believe it's a german middle—aged man. as we heard in the report potentially with a history of psychological problems, although we are waiting to hear more information about that, that is coming from german media outlets giving us that information at the moment. what we don't know is motive. we don't know who this person might be for certain. we don't know why he might have done what he did. so, speculation at the moment that this was not in fact a terror attack, given that this was a german national or not any weight in islamist terror attack. germany has of course been in that sort of situation before. of course, and it's obvious why people jump to the

conclusion that it might be a terrorist incident. we have seen plenty of incidents where vehicles have been used, driven into crowds of people and of course in germany in berlin in december 2016 there was the christmas market attack that killed 12 people. a lot of people would have combined the information and would have combined the information a nd insta ntly would have combined the information and instantly thought this must be a terrorist attack but we at the momentjust don't know for certain. what the motive is this —— with the motive is behind his back. interestingly german police in muenster have been tweeting saying repeatedly do not stir suspicion about this, do not speculate at the moment. we will tell you when we know. 0k, more than you a little bit later. thank you very much. for more on this we speak to stefanie bolzen is a journalist for germany's die welt and joins us via webcam. thank you very much forjoining us here on bbc news. a very difficult afternoon's events for people in germany. how have the german media

been reporting this? what have you been reporting this? what have you been saying? there's a lot of speculation as to —— as your colleague said before about who the killer is, who is the man behind this. there has not been breaking news on the german wires, not officially but security circles are confirming that it is a german national will stop this is important in the context of the attack in berlin at the end of 2016 when a failed asylum seeker drove a van into the christmas market in berlin and he indeed was an islamic terrorist, and of course in germany, as in other places in europe and beyond there's also a fear of islamic terrorism, though speculation was high and some parts of the german political parties have already tried to use this incident in muenster. i wasjust going to ask you what sort of political response has there been? there has been one

tweet by an mep of the afd, the right—wing anti—immigrant party that was very successful at the last election back in september 20 17. and she been tweeting minutes, moments after that incident was on the news, saying we will manage and this is a very known, famous phrase by the chancellor angela merkel when the start of the refugee crisis back in the summer of 2015. she said the phrase several times, we will manage and of course this tweet by the afd mep is very cynical. she then had to send other tweets later on to say well, apparently it's not a refugee, it is not an islamist, but you just see that we have enough problems also with white german people who

have mental illness. that's a very sad and very cynical way of instruments all i think what is for the city of muenster and beyond a tragic and terrible day. people here will not necessarily be familiar with the city of muenster. tell us about the sort of place it is. it is about the sort of place it is. it is a very nice place. pretty much in the centre northern part of germany. he has a very high quality of life. i thinkjust he has a very high quality of life. i think just recently he has a very high quality of life. i thinkjust recently got the title the most liveable city in germany, medium—sized, lots of students, pedestrian areas. there is a lot of these old 2—door houses, german style. it's a very nice place, beautiful christmas market, people are going bicycling everywhere so it is also a bit like white muenster? it does not have any symbol, political symbol beyond some might say now some peas that was broken in

16 -- say now some peas that was broken in 16 —— brokered in 16118, but it is not a politically important city in that sense. it is probably one of the most cosy and most peaceful and idyllic places you can find all over germany. these are issues that people will be puzzling over for quite some time to come. thank you very much for your time. the mayor of london, sadiq khan, says the police should feel confident to "stop and search" people, to combat the recent spike in violent crime. he said such powers could help make london safer, if used in a targeted way. 300 extra officers have now been deployed, after six people were killed in shootings and stabbings in the last seven days. here's simonjones. lives lost, families grieving, some living in fear. and the growing question, what can be done to tackle violent crime. with calls for the police to make more use of controversial powers to stop and search suspects for weapons. the number of searches has fallen dramatically in recent years

amid fears that poorer areas and ethnic minority groups were being disproportionately targeted. when stop and search is used properly, it's an invaluable tool to the police. we want more targeted, intelligence—led stop and search. hundreds of extra officers are on the streets of london this weekend. but some academics question whether using stop and search significantly reduces violent crime. the metropolitan police commissioner, cressida dick, said she backed searches done in a way that is targeted and intelligence—led. in east london, there is some support. this is the right time to do it. we've seen too many killed. people could feel targeted as well, why am i being stopped rather than me or this guy or this woman, or so on and so forth. let them stop me and search me. let them stop even the girls, because the girls are also in the gangs. here in hackney, flowers mark the spot where 18—year—old israel 0gunsola lost his life this week. he was stabbed to death. many here say they've had enough.

they want an end to the violence. there is recognition there may be no simple quick fix. 0ne former chief superintendent with the met says much more needs to be done to prevent young people carrying weapons in the first place. i think we need to be doing much more in schools. and certainly when i've spoken to parents of children who have been murdered, one thing they say, all of them, without exception, is they want to see much more intervention at an earlier stage in schools. as the grieving continues, the mayor of london has invited the home secretary and all london's mps to a knife crime summit next week to discuss what else can be done in the fight against violence that has ruined so many lives. simon jones, bbc news. a 17—year—old boy has appeared at thames magistrates court charged with murdering a teenager who was stabbed in east london. the victim, who's been named locally as 18—year—old israel 0gunsola, was found with fatal wounds in hackney on wednesday. the 17—year—old will appear

at the old bailey on tuesday. the russian embassy in london has requested a meeting with the uk foreign secretary boris johnson, to discuss the salisbury nerve agent attack, calling its current relationship with the foreign office "utterly unsatisfactory". it comes as officials in whitehall have said it's not certain that the former russian agent sergei skripal will make a full recovery. earlier our correspondent kathryn stanczyszyn gave us this update from salisbury. this sort of tit—for—tat war of words seems to have sprung up today between the uk foreign office and the russian embassy in the uk in the wake of this update on sergei skripal‘s condition. he was found poisoned on a bench just around the corner in the city of salisbury five weeks ago tomorrow with his daughter, yulia, and of course that sparked this diplomatic row between the two countries. the russian embassy requested a meeting with the uk foreign secretary borisjohnson earlier on today, saying the

communication has been unsatisfactory and saying they would like an update on this investigation in salisbury as soon as possible. the uk foreign office has responded to that, saying it is russia that has been unsatisfactory. they failed to answer several key questions in this investigation despite having three weeks to do so. and saying the request for this meeting really is a diversionary tactic. of course russia has denied having anything to do with this poisoning, saying the uk has failed to provide any proof at all that it was the nerve agent novichok involved. the uk government remained steadfast that it was novichok and that points to one culprit, which is russia, and that it has the backing of its european friends and nato allies. of course the prospect of the skripals being able to tell their own story is what is putting extra pressure on this, because many thought they would never be able to do so. 14

1a people have died after a bus carrying a junior has hockey —— ice hockey team collided with a lorry in western canada. another 1a other passengers were injured when the bus collided with a lorry in the rural province of saskatchewan. the team were all aged between 21 and 16 years old. 0ur north america correspondent chris buckler reports. hand in hand in hospital, team—mates are turning to each other for support, all too aware that many of those they played alongside have been killed. commentator: 18 seconds to go on this humboldt power play... in rural canada, ice hockey is a sport and a passion that unites. and in humboldt, a community ofjust 6000 people, their team, the broncos, aren'tjust seen as stars, but as sons and neighbours. there's a bit of shock and a bit of disbelief going on. a bit of thinking about how the community is going to handle this. the team, many of them teenagers, were travelling to a play—off match

in a nearby town when the bus they were on collided with a lorry. instead of going to watch that junior league game, their families spent the night in a church hall waiting for information. i think this is a dark time, tonight. this is a good thing, that people come together. at a time of need, they don't stay at home, when they are feeling isolated and alone. on twitter, the canadian prime ministerjustin trudeau said, i cannot imagine what these parents are going through, and my heart goes out to everyone affected by this terrible tragedy in the humboldt community and beyond. half of the people travelling on the bus are now known to have died. a huge loss in this one small part of canada. chris buckler, bbc news. the headlines on bbc news: three people have been killed and many injured after a van drives

into crowds of people in the germany city of munster. the driver shot himself at the scene. 300 extra police officers are deployed across london after six people worshiped killed in shooting and stabbing in the last week. —— after six people were killed. 1a people are killed after a bus carrying an junior ice hockey teams collides with a lorry in western canada. thousands of prisoners are being rated according to their chances of being involved in violence in an attempt to tackle safety in jails. staff can then use the data to inform decisions — such as which wing an individual is placed in. the system is being piloted at 16 prisons in england and wales. here's our home affairs correspondent tom symonds. the new system has beenjokingly nicknamed "i predict a riot" by data experts. each time an incident like this happens, it's logged by prison staff.

the number—crunching software produces a score of each inmate's likelihood of becoming violent. as well as informing prison governors under pressure to maintain order, it can also be linked to the system of privileges which reward prisoners for good behaviour. the data can that gang affiliations and it can also spot those at risk of self—harm. —— map gang affiliations. violence in prison is growing. there were 28,000 assaults in the year to last september, that's up 12%. self—harm is up also 12% to nearly 43,000 incidents. the ministry ofjustice said it will do whatever it can to help hard—pressed governors. it's not collecting more data than before, just using it in clever ways, and the government says monitoring prisoners is vital to protecting them. the plan is to roll out the system across england and wales after talks with prison unions. tom symonds, bbc news. holidaymakers are being warned about fraudsters

who place false adverts on accommodation websites. last year, nearly 5,000 travellers fell victim to such scams, which included fake airline tickets. our business correspondent nina warhurst reports. when georgia was looking to take her boyfriend to amsterdam she thought she'd seen the perfect apartment online. after transferring more than £900, she realised there was no record of payment and no apartment. your heartjust drops, and it's like this panic just comes over you, completely takes over your body and it's like "what have i done?" and she's not the only one. last year georgia was one of 11,700 holiday—makers who reported fraud, losing an average of £1500. fake flights are the most common trick, with fraudsters ta rgetings peak periods. a lot of the statistics from the report shows a big spike around december. what does that say to you? it is people going home for christmas, and that is our

experience when people phone us saying just that, and theyjust, it's something they've been looking forward to, it isn't going to happen. it can be extremely disappointing. losing a holiday hurts. more than a tenth of those who made complaints said the impact was so severe, they'd had to receive medical treatment, or were at risk of bankruptcy. the advice for holiday—makers is to thoroughly research websites before booking and check they are part of a recognised trading body. nina warhurst, bbc news. the texas national guard has begun deploying a team of 250 troops to the us border with mexico. the state of arizona is planning to deploy a further 150. president trump wants up to 4,000 military personnel stationed on the border until his proposed wall is built. bollywood star, salman khan, has been released from jail after being granted bail by an indian court. he was sentenced to five years in prison on thursday, after being found guilty of killing two rare blackbuck antelopes, 20 years ago. under the terms of his bail, salman khan has been ordered to pay

around £500 and will not be able to leave india without the court's permission. 0ur correspondent nitin sriva—stava was outside the court injodhpur earlier today. he said fans of salman khan were celebrating the news. there has been a sense of huge jubilation, firecrackers have been first outside the court premises by hundreds of fans of the hollywood superstar. ever since the news of him being granted bail came out of the courtroom. this is the session's word where the hearing has been on since the morning. the local authorities did not allow the superstar to come and attend the hearing in person because they feared it would become a law and order problem. as you can see behind me there are hundreds of fans, huge media presence out here. to have a glimpse of the superstar, family which had come for the court hearing. now that he's got bail the

authorities will go to the present and seek an early release from him. this may be a temporary rest bite for salman khan who is one of india's top superstars, but this surely is not able despite because the case is still on and the hearing is set to resume very soon. facebook has suspended a canadian data company, over its alleged links with the political consultants cambridge analytica, and its parent company. facebook says it's taking action, as part of an investigation into the improper use of the personal data of millions of people. the canadian firm aggregate iq, did extensive work for the vote leave campaign, during the eu referendum. it says it's never knowingly been involved in any illegal activity. if you're building wings for planes in wales, the fuselage in france, and the engines in germany, how do you get all the pieces together in the right place? the answer is an even bigger plane. they're known as super—transporters,

and growing demand for brand new airliners mean they're getting busier, and bigger, than ever. our business reporter theo leggett has more. this is the airbus beluga. as the name suggests, it looks a bit like a whale, but it has an importantjob. it carries wings from airbus's factory in broughton in north wales and takes them to assembly lines in the south of france. it also carries other aircraft parts across europe. but airbus is increasing production and it says these days the beluga just isn't big enough, so now it's building a bigger one. and here it is, the beluga xl — it is longer, wider and taller than the current model. it will be able to carry two wings for the airbus a350 at a time — the current model can take only one. so how to you go about building something like this? well, what airbus has done is take a perfectly normal aircraft design, this was once an airbus a330, they chop the roof off and now they're in the process of putting

new structures in place to create that cavernous cargo area. it is an animal. it is a massive bubble on the front... airbus needs a bigger transport plane, because it's increasing production, particularly of the new a350. the beluga is a vital link in its supply chain. we can carry more, we are carry two wings at a time instead of one wing at a time. so it means now the wing leg coming from the uk to broughton and there from broughton to toulouse will double the productivity of the aircraft. the beluga xl is due to go into service next year. but it won't be the biggest beast in the skies. boeing, for example, has its own transporter — the dream lifter, a 7117 on steroids and it's even larger than the european giant. manchester city are trying to make

premier league history against their rivals manchester united. we go live 110w rivals manchester united. we go live now to the etihad stadium. our sports correspondent azi farni is at the etihad stadium, how is it looking in the final stages? the final whistle hasjust gone behind me. i can hear the cheers from the stadium, and it is not the cheer is that these fans will have wanted. many of them leaving early from the etihad stadium behind me. they came in early as well. there was a bit of a party celebration ahead of the match. man city quietly comforted despite that midweek defeat to liverpool in the champions league and they started so strongly. going ahead thanks to bentsen company, a headerfrom him gave man city an early advantage that the thing company. it was too cold and five

minutes from the home side. —— two goals in five minutes. a bad clea ra nce goals in five minutes. a bad clearance from the united keeper david de gea. man city took advantage and there was a lovely turn in to put the ball past the united keeper. from there man city really looked in control of the first half. the fans thought so and we re first half. the fans thought so and were singing along and have man city went off for the break they went off toa went off for the break they went off to a standing ovation from the fans, but it seems that those celebrations camea but it seems that those celebrations came a little too early. there were no changes for united at half—time, but it seems an inspiring team talk from the managerjose mourinho because when they came out in the second half it was a completely different team. two goals in two minutes from paul pogba. he was the subject of a claim by the man city manager pep guardiola. that his agent had offered him to the club in the january transfer window, something denied by the agent. two

goals in two minutes from him and suddenly the ties seemed completely different. united very much in control and just ten minutes later chris smalling completed the comeback to put them 3—2 up. there was a late call for a penalty turned down when sergio aguero was brought down when sergio aguero was brought down by ashley young in the box in a few minutes later a bit of a scuffle between pretty much all of the outfield players. things calmed down and man city threw everything at it in the final minutes, they had with one minutes ago sergio aguero was denied by david de gea. raheem sterling hit the post as well and thenit sterling hit the post as well and then it was all over. these fans hoping to having a storage premier league title in front of their arch rivals, but in the end it was the archrivals spoiling the party, inflicting a first home defeat of the season to manchester city. it does seem like the title will belong

to these fans and this club, but it will just have to these fans and this club, but it willjust have to wait a little bit longer. slightly deflated there than at the etihad stadium. many thanks. now, meet two best friends who share a love for hiking and the great outdoors. the pair's signature look is the cat hat which has made henry and baloo a big hit on social media. they travel with their owners across the beautiful landscapes of colorado. the pair, who are both rescue pets, are inseparable. baloo the cat is best known for his unusual sleeping position — on top of henry's head. time for a look at the weather with nick miller. it would not look so well if the dog slept on top of that cat. some hazy sunshine for some of us cat. some hazy sunshine for some of us today and a temperature of 19 celsius in kent, the highest of the year so far. that was a different picture if you had the ring today. a
