welcome to bbc news. two people have been killed and around 20 others injured, after a van was deliberately driven into a crowd of people, in western germany. it happened in the city of muenster, outside a restaurant. police say the driver who was a german national and had a history of mental health problems, later shot himself. no terrorist links have been confirmed. 0ur berlin correspondent jenny hill reports. in the historic heart of an old university city, a scene of horror. the square was busy. people enjoying the spring sunshine when a van ploughed through what is usually a pedestrian zone. for those in its path,

little chance to escape. the 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. and still we don't know why. the driver, police say, killed himself in the van after the crash. translation: the suspect shot himself in the vehicle. his identity is still unclear. but they have yet to formally establish a motive. earlier, they raided an apartment believed to be the man's home. he said to be a german citizen who is known to the police. a man in his late 40s with health problems. translation: the perpetrator who, at around 3pm, ploughed into people was a german citizen. and not, as it was reported, a refugee or something similar. the details are being thoroughly examined.

because of that, we can't go into further details. there is nothing to say at the moment that there was any islamist background. but we must wait and see. tonight, those investigations continue. in a city now morning its dead and praying for those left fighting for life. jenny hill, bbc news. earlier i spoke to thomas walde, who's in berlin. we have heard from authorities that we don't think there is an islamist background. they haven't told us what they believe the motive is at this stage. there are reports in the german media of the mental health problems of the suspect. it is quite clear why people thought initially this was a terror attack. we have seen many this was a terror attack. we have seen many occasions this was a terror attack. we have seen many occasions when a vehicle has been driven into a crowd of people in order to cause terror. it is something the authorities are

alert to, notjust in germany but across all of europe. this particular case, with this particular case, with this particular man, why did he do what he did? at the moment, that is still unknown. caroline davies there. earlier i spoke to thomas walde, who's in berlin. he's a reporter for the german television broadcaster zdf and began by telling me how he heard about the incident. it was this afternoon when these wires, when news hit 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 on a federal and regional level. it was fairly quickly confirmed there was an incident and that several people were killed. here in germany everyone is pretty sensitive about this because we had terror attacks in the past. at first there was a great deal of nervousness within the federal government that this might be a terror related incident. at first people were pretty calm. people did 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 now identified the person, someone who was born in 1969 according to the authorities in germany. that is important. 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 might be a person with an immigrant background which would raise issues that we have had in the past. they know it was a german native born in 1969.

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 everyone expressed shock and expressed their condolences with the families of the victims. muenster, no—one would have thought there 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, it's 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 was, nobody used the term of an attack. they used the word an incident because they wanted to refrain from jumping to conclusions and also in order to not concern the general public too 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. there are reports from syria, that the last rebel—held enclave on the outskirts of the capital damascus, has come under a chemical weapons attack. the news follows 2a hours of intense bombardment of the city, by forces loyal to president assad. the government denies it's used chemical weapons. the foreign office has described a russian request for a meeting with the foreign secretary boris johnson on the salisbury poisoning as a "diversionary tactic". it comes as officials in whitehall have said it's not certain that the former russian agent sergei skripal will make a full recovery. 0ur political correspondent alex forsyth has more on the diplomatic rift between the uk and russia. well, the details of this invitation appeared on the russian embassy's

website today and they said there was high time there was a meeting. they said the russian ambassador had written a personal note to the foreign secretary with the invitation and they hoped that uk would engage constructively. this seems to be part of efforts by russia to portray the british government as the ones who are being obstructive and uncooperative. russian officials have already questioned the decision to deny at these to the cousin of yulia skripal, victoria. and to prevent access to them in hospital. the foreign office as is that they will respond to that request in due course but have dismissed it as diversionary tactic and attempt to deflect questions. they said it is russia whose response has been unsatisfactory, it is russia has failed to engage constructively. while sergei and yulia skripal, best thing is to be in proving. the diplomatic tensions in the uk are not. 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. the game changer as far as london should be concerned is we have had the biggest roll—out in the world of body—worn cameras. the advantage for members of the public is they should have the confidence that the police

officer is recording the interaction between the police officer and the member of the public. 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 is ruining 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. wright news just coming in office
