acknowledging the incident barcelona. no which has the hallmarks it appears of yet another terrorist attack. now we offer o our condolens go out to ththe loss o of le in. the injuries that have occurred to you so many innocent people yet again. so we will continue to monitor the situation. we stand ready to assist law enforcement national security authorities and spying. our consulates and. barcelona and aren't our mission spain team. are currently assisting americans in spying who are affected by these events. we ask you as citizens in the area to let your loved ones know your site. terrorist round the world should know the united states and our power lies a resolve to find you. they bring you to justice. more reaction state side now let said bring in our white house correspondent for the crown that philip that we had from. at rex tillis in that but what if we had set a from the u. s. president perhaps of the white house officials.

yet everyone you there's a bit of. strange. and some strange stuff from the us president today there are two parts to this. first of all what seems a rational response of from the white house a tweet from the us president. saying that the uniteted states wil do whatever is necessary to help he adds this messasagee tough and s strong we love u that is the message. from president trump in one of his tweets just a short while ago there is also a statement from the department of homeland security now they are those who might be helen helping. the spanish intelligence services at this point and that would i include of coue as well. as from the speaker of the house of representatives paul ryan who described what happenedd in. b barcelona as pure e evilw thatat the preretty normal responseou would normamally t from the us government and from the white house went something as tragic. as what happened in barcelona because but there is a

second part to this and stick with me has a second tweet from. the u. s. president he says we should study the history of general pershing. in world war two now he was a u. s. . general. in world war two in the philippines but the story that the us president says we should take a look at is false it includes. the mass murder and the torture. of muslims that this is not what you would expect to get has a response of from a u. s. president up to something so try yeah for that update sad philip trip that crowd that st. reporting from washington dc. right said it will principles that james created has been going through some of the reaction on line as to the attack in barcelona. and he joins me on set now james a good to

see you again. would he go for us now alright we'll just to come. structure what i'm seeing on social media because of course it's a huge amount of information i am. and some of it isn't also a reliable information but we're getting. eyewitness accounts at a video is beingng put up by people have their smsmartphones tourists remember it remember lots from glass is right in ththe center of barcelonaa one of the biggest tourist destinations in europe. eight and at t t verery peak of touourist season so thers a lot of people who can who cann be and are filming. at the beat the events of the afternoon you see people being kind of kept away from central barcelona being told to eat two to leave the area by at the police you have other images of people fleeing the area. you also have i'm afraid to say some very graphic images appearing on social media as well this is one image of been showing up all evening just to give a sense of how busy about street is that somebody who. tweeted at on ordering afternoon want lots from dawson looks like. and

it's of course a plasma largely pedestrianized strip and you could describe as a show that he's a all of barcelona and it's essentially the same type of idea is the main thoroughfare in the city isn't a clear. and major at spanish media such as al please if you want their website at the moment they have a photo gallery and some of those photos. are very graphic nice was it does put the media in in a difficult position because. you are on the one hand of choosing to inform and books there is it as i suppose a seconds and accompanying it you see i suppose of prudence and care. not to expose on unnecessarily at dramatize the situation size is one image that i did say they. think i could show but you have right after that in the gallery another image showing. you know a victim's

within sheets over them and soldiers. now you also have a lot of images over at the suspects and circulating on social media. and why i shouldn't say chairman showing this tweet and because i think it's interesting that the glow a. what might ensue the glorification of the killer is is a? first of all it feeds we can potentially feet further talks israel it's it's giving at them that publicity but they seek now lots of our sources. at preble it condemned sharing a condolences from a hoop the local football club fc barcelona. to the mayors and and presidents and prime ministers of other countries all just go through some of them said the town the mayor of london. which of course was also recently struck by an attack london stands of arsenic and see evil of

terrorism. you've christian straws ep. the mayor of niece who said from the seeming the. the flags in thee city of peace will be lowered to half mast in solidarity with the spanish people he also he's he's been treating quite a lot actually. and saying the same cowardly and mode operate far share the h including and the motions of love and tolerance. and these values are stronger than ortiz and cowardly terrorism we just heard from fakhri there but donald trump's at. at tweets and antiquity people on social media remarking that he was at he reacted to this quite quickly within two hours and indeed. there was of course so much controversy within the past week about at the delay and his reaction vis a

vis charlottesville. now and just to finish with. jr stated the obvious and predictable and a. i suppose i would very well intentions and. notable sentiments are going up on social media prey far barcelona but also some remarks. of oak frequently seen this and i guess we can i'd. barcelona this list which was actually compiled after the manchester attack and look how many cities there are many attacks i'm up unfortut we're seeing. we're seeing them continue. and i'll just finish with a freddie mercury and montserrat cap a lady who was a. spanish at opera singer dot net hits barcelona by freddie mercury and queen back in nineteen eighty seven which became the unofficial anthem of the

nineteen ninety two olympic games in barcelona. but it's also been shared quite a lot on social media so i'm. some people enjoy sharing that i listen to bob in terms of expressing or sharing. how they're feeling i have for the city out on a very tragic and a day persona? indeed okay james thank you so much up that said james cretan that with some a reaction online reaction a to z. attack. ad in barcelona well if you are just joining us and bring you up to date sell spanishe attack but is not yet. any consolation owner whether either of those suspects and

it was the driver bowls of the vehicle. while staying at with this story and i were going to bring in. recondo due t to land a senior analyst at drum to second experts on travel security trends in europe and the middle east. recalled i thank you very much of your time this evening your fault twenty four now a spanish authorities say that tree saying ed and this as a terrorist attack. and sadly spain is no stranger to terrorisism. yeah bird back to you and though out in which it was targeted by attack clearly show that t could destroy te terrorist attack. and then have beenargeted in t t past bal qaeda i in a very complex and very dead yet talking to dot info. and that seems to thousand eleven we devise of days let me state into thousands of tina's well. there's been a plan but so. painin becoming

at times it and therefore logically islamists and the client w will rececruitmentd financing problems will. what today mark he led the fluff? a major attack in the in ththe recent heald in spain and it shows how the terms he says so calledh terrorism is on the rise as we saw in niece. and in berlin recently. talk is don't need guns or bombs to issue a course harmon re catholic. yeah the hundred or so totally correct statement what he'd huh wild meat and gore. may h have problems colonizing complex attacks that require. exactly that with the issue of weapons the command and control structure. and some kind of

fair tactic understanding of the situation. third s singe ascendancy over on water. canada with the very limited the investment. conduct very deadly attacks and you see something that to india i climbed in western europe. because the ideology of first had coolee days adds to to to call say. tara wreak havoc how can countries them protect themselves. drug dealer to two week are on the on the summer inside that those that need. to quickly. conduct. easy can manage real or not are all in out there that may be more exposed. he'll

columban enough com blessed day the need to call the potato with how himself with his but that counts cannot. do these kind of attacks. yeah but then departed did issue is. marking that one and the end of the need of conducting an upscale intelligent corporation. to be able to get out now as much information definitelyw to gather intelligence. and how to interpret and analyze it the fastest way possible to prevent the product. another big you know any good security concerns in spain leading up to this attack why do we know why spain. was targeted. well so so i said normally don't have all the information about the profile of the attack of that's a bit difficult to to make a point. but stan had

been on that although you can vote. for the last decade and and reading that they are just such a book. spain is account would uphold the stronger the propaganda message focused for carrying out the tux. et kitchen southern european country with a lot of guys with that we do by ththe baton a a. and. and a also what you've seen andd he simplyly there the willingness of clolose group to target their major totouristic locacations. he hadn't been seen inin kik and crime. in the i in game today. andd in in the uk how that's that's created a point or quickly conducting attacks but to have a strong impact. both on the suture logical as well as the. cannot economic side of both countries. okay ricardo diploma i thank you so much i thought so analysis the. senior analyst at junkie second also expressed on the trouble security trends in
