and we investigate how the world of work could change radically in the next 20 years in ‘reinventing the 9 to 5‘ in half an hour here on bbc news. good evening and welcome to bbc news. two people have been killed in western germany, after a van drove into pedestrians, in the city of muenster. it's thought at least twenty people have also been injured, some are in a critical condition. the driver of the vehicle died after shooting himself. german media is reporting that the man had mental health problems. no terrorist links have been confirmed yet. our 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. our correspondent caroline davies is here. clearly the situation is quite confused because the number of people dead has changed in the last hour. this illustrates how confused the situation is, as we are basing the situation is, as we are basing the information together, but so are the information together, but so are the german authorities. —— as we are piecing the information. we understand two people have been killed, plus the gunman. in terms of a motive for the attack? at this

point we don't know but we have heard from the same interior minister that they don't believe there is any connection to any islamist sympathies. we also know they are planning to search the apartment, we believe they are searching the apartment of the suspect. why this event happened and why the driver decided to drive into the crowd of people sitting on a terrace on a nice afternoon in muenster, we have no idea at the moment. caroline, many thanks. on the line is thomas walde in berlin. he's a reporter for the german television broadcaster zdf. thanks forjoining us. how did you

hear about this incident? it was this afternoon when these wires, when you set the wires that there was an incident in the region of muenster and everybody scrambled to the office and that is when we got in touch with our sources here at a federal and regional level and it was quickly confirmed there was an incident and that several people we re incident and that several people were killed. here it generally eve ryo ne were killed. here it generally everyone is pretty sensitive about this because we had terror attacks in the past. —— here in germany. there was a great kid of nervousness within the federal government that this might be a terror related incident —— great deal. people did not assume anything and they did not jump not assume anything and they did not jump to conclusions. a short while later we felt relieved, that this

was clearly not terror related. the latest thinking is that the driver may have had psychological issues. yes, authorities have identified the person, someone who yes, authorities have identified the person, someone who was born in 1969 according to the authorities in germany. clearly he is not an immigrant, which was also very soon after the news hit, a big deal because many people were afraid that this by —— this might be a person with an immigrant background which would raise issues that we have had in the past. but they have the name of this person and they searched the apartment and they have said it is someone who tried to commit suicide in the past. it is a person with a troubled past and clearly they are

working on the assumption that this was not a political motive. viewers can now see pictures of the police outside the apartment of the man, the driver, the suspect, in this case. tell us more about the impact this will have had in muenster. of course, in muenster, everybody was shocked, up to the federal level eve ryo ne shocked, up to the federal level everyone expressed shock and their condolences with the families of the victims. muenster, no one would have thought they would be a terror related incident here. it was a very nice day today, great weather, people were sitting outside enjoying the sunshine. out of the blue something like this striking, something like this striking, something that has shocked everybody from the local authority to the

federal government. the minister of the interior of the federal republic expressed his concern and from the beginning he said the federal and local authorities were working together to try to make sense of what happened. what was striking, nobody used the term of an attack, and they used the word and incident because they wanted to refrain from jumping to conclusions and also in order to not concern the general public to much because here in germany we have had terrible terrorist attacks in the past. whenever something happens like this people would be nervous that this might be another terrorist attack but it turned out that clearly this was not. thomas, we are very grateful to you for talking to us.

thanks forjoining us. and we'll find out how this story — and many others — are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:30 and 11:30pm this evening in the papers. our guests joining me tonight are the journalist and author yasmin alibhai—brown and kate andrews, director of news at the institute of economic affairs. 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's 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. but 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. well, 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 foreign secretary borisjohnson, 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 stanczysyn gave us this update from salisbury. a 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 that 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. 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 map gang affiliations and it can also spot those at risk of self—harm. 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 ha rd—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. the headlines on bbc news: two 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 were killed in shooting and stabbings in the last week. 1a people are killed after a bus carrying a junior ice hockey team collides

with a lorry in western canada. sport now and a full round up from the bbc sport centre. manchester city are going to have to wait for that premier league title. they threw away a 2—0 lead against manchester united and lost 3—2. city captain vincent kompany opened the scoring with a cracking header. ilkay gundogan brilliantly turned in city's second, and the home side went in at the break looking like the title was theirs but paul pobga had other ideas. he scored twice in the

space of two minutes. then chris smalling made the come back from united complete meaning city will need to win next weekend against totteham and hope that united lose to get their hands on the title. you can stay ten, 50 minutes when the opposition is good in the second half, but to concede the girls, that is tougher against one good team, but after that we recovered and we 90, but after that we recovered and we go, and we tried, but we could not win, 0k. hopefully it will not do too much damage until next tuesday, but we have to stand up and move forward. elsewhere in the premier league their early kick off between everton and liverpool ended goalesss. tottenham held on for a 2—1win away at struggling stoke. west brom's run of eight successive defeats came to an end but they could only manage a draw with swansea. rangers have lea pfrogged

aberdeen to go second in the scottish premiership after a 4—0 victory over dundee at ibrox. aberdeen lost 2—0 away at hearts. stuart findlay scored for kilmarnock as they beat partick1—0, ross county drew 1—1 with hibs and stjohnstone motherwell ended goaless. leaders celtic are at hamilton tomorrow. the third round of the masters is under way at augusta, patrick reed has just rocked a shot, but he still leads by one shot from marc leishman —— just dropped. rickie fowler and rory mcilroy dhawan further shot back at six under par. rory mcilroy began five shots off the lead but he is already two under par for the day. making this birdie on the fourth, as he hopes to win his first green jacket. four—time champion tiger woods finished level for the

day. but he is well off the pace having started on four over. lovely tee shot helping him to a birdie on the 16th, there. more success for england, scotland, wales and northern ireland at the commonwealth games. earlier we saw gymnasts nile wilson and james hall give england a one—two in the men's all—around gymnastics final. golds as well for england'sjoe townsend and jadejones in the mens and womens para triathlon. adam peaty was made to work really hard for his gold by england teammate, james wilby but peaty managed to hold on for the win, with wilby getting a silver to add to the gold he won in the 200 metres. scotland's neil fachie and guide matt rotherham added a second gold of the games to their collection. they broke the world record in the heats before winning the visually impaired sprint final. and wales were celebrating gold shortly afterwards in the women's sprint race as elinor barker, powered through the pain barrier to see off scotland's katie archibald.

barker gained a whole lap on the field to finish on a0 points and won two of ten sprints. that's all the sport for now. studio: thanks for joining studio: thanks forjoining us. 1a people have died after a bus carrying a junior ice hockey team collided with a lorry in western canada. another 1a other passengers were injured in the crash in the rural province of saskatchewan. the team were all aged between 16 and 21 years old. our 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, 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. in the past few minutes tributes have been paid to the players at news conference. we area we are a small down and we are overwhelmed by the condolences we have received from the province, from beyond our borders, and internationally. —— a small town. i just got off the phone from the prime minister and he sent his condolences to the city and the broncos and the families. he passed along condolences from a number of world leaders that have phoned him including the president of the united states. this tragedy has hit

a number of people, notjust us, but i think everyone can relate to this experience. that was the local mayor giving his emotional tribute to the victims of that terrible crash. 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. the former brazilian president, luis inacio lula da silva, has delivered a defiant speech before hundreds of his supporters in sao paulo, insisting he is innocent of the crimes for which he has been sentenced. he was speaking for the first time since a court turned down an appeal and ordered him to begin a 12 yearjail term for corruption. our correspondent katy watson is in sao paulo. the speech has ended but people here

are taking this opportunity to eat and drink and enjoy themselves on this sunny afternoon. when he came on stage the crowd cheered, this was a moment they had been waiting for for several days, he had been in this building here, ever since the arrest warrant was issued on thursday evening. he came out today and he told the crowds that he would be handing himself in but he wouldn't be giving up, the revelation doesn't end with the death ray, don't, he said, and that is probably true. this speech felt like a rallying cry for his supporters, rather than a surrender ofa man supporters, rather than a surrender of a man and giving up, supporters, rather than a surrender ofa man and giving up, but supporters, rather than a surrender of a man and giving up, but he will still have a powerful voice behind bars. his critics want to see him in jailand bars. his critics want to see him in jail and they call him a corrupt politician and he needs to face justice. it is worth pointing out that he is a man who had millions of supporters and he lifted millions of people out of poverty and he changed the brazilian political map but he is not the man he used to be, he has made his critics as well and they will want to see him locked up as

soon as possible. our correspondent. bollywood star, salman khan, has been released from after being granted bail by an indian court. the 52—year—old actor has now arrived home in mumbai and waved at huge crowds from his balcony. 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. our correspondent nitin srivastava was outside the court injodhpur earlier today. he said fans of salman khan were celebrating his bail. there's a sense ofjubilation, firecrackers have been burst outside by hundreds of the fans of the superstar salman khan after the news was announced that he had been granted bail. the local authorities

did not allow the superstar to attend the hearing in person because they feared it could become a law and order problem as you can see behind me. there are hundreds of fa ns behind me. there are hundreds of fans and a huge media presence. you have a glimpse of the superstar family which had come for the court hearing, this may be a temporary respite for salman khan. who is one of the top superstars in india. this is not a full respite because the case is still ongoing and the hearing is set to start again very soon. 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's people going home for christmas, and that is our experience when people phone us saying just that, and 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. 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 its 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 do 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 bremen and there from bremen 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. time for a look at the weather with nick miller. i9 19 degrees in kent helped by hazy sunshine but for much of the uk it was cloudy, with outbreaks of rain, but if that was yours today, tomorrow will be brighter and that should be the case in cumbria. brea ks should be the case in cumbria. breaks of rain overnight into scotla nd breaks of rain overnight into scotland beginning to edge away north, showers and northern ireland will clear but some reach into south—east india and east anglia late in the night, but elsewhere a mixture of cloud and clear
