i mean, everybody in sweden noted that he said sweden was this problem country that had let too manyechoing to some extent around sweden this evening and people will feel frustrated to some extent that the president said that. from some corners in society we will definitely hear that. what donald trump did was to spread false information about what was happening in sweden, the day before he was talking. but we'll see who is behind this, if there is any link to immigration, or to refugees, or the situation in syria, who takes responsibility for this act of terror. i think it is too early tonight to draw conclusions about what we can — who is really behind this. it is really too early. does it matter who it is, that is the perpetrator? we had acts of terror from the right—wing in sweden as well. we had that a couple of years ago. it was not that widely reported throughout the world but we have seen acts of terror from both sides. jihadism is a serious problem in europe, and sweden is not an exception. let's wait and see what this really is. the perpetrator or the perpetrators might sti

sweden's prime minister was clear this was no accident. >> sweden has been attached.verything indicates that this is a terrorist attack. the government is receiving information about this act. reporter: after the attack, central stockholm looks like a ghost town. authorities shut down the main railway station and the metro for several hours, leaving travelers stranded. meanwhile, a major firefighting effort was underway to stop the truck blaze from spreading through the department store. and as authorities seal off the city and investigate what happened, swedes are asking why the city has become the latest target of islamic terror. sarah: let's get the latest now. we are joined by the journalist james savage. we understand swedish police have interviewed to people in relation to this attack. what more have they told us? james: earlier they were interviewing to people in relation to the attack, but now they have made an arrest. they say this man matches the description of someone who was in the vicinity of the attack when it happened. they have not released information

sweden is in absolute shock right now. i just got sweden is in absolute shock right now.just got back from there yesterday, and i was on that street two days ago. sweden are totally unprepared for this. they have not had a terrorist attack in seven yea rs. had a terrorist attack in seven years. the last thing was in 2010, when a failed suicide bomber who himself up in the centre of stockholm. that shock people, but then they got back on with their normal lives. there is not the sense of security that there is in, say, whitehall. sweden, like germany, is very averse to surveillance. they are very much a liberal, open society, although the pendulum is starting to swing in the other direction. rightly or wrongly, perhaps a lot of us following the last few hours, we don't think of sweden as a country that might be particularly vulnerable. now, maybe we are wrong to think in that way, but what sort of security operations do they have? what sort of alert has sweden been on? i have been on a security conference for two days, and they are vulnerable, no doubt about it. there are

and the telegraph leads with the horror in sweden.that's a summary of the news, newsday is coming up at midnight. now on bbc news it's time for newsnight. the us takes a stand against chemical weapons... syria takes a hit... and the american president adopts a different tone. god bless america and the entire world.

i want to ask you about growing up in sweden. i don't think of sweden as necessarily having a food culture that would produce someone of your stature as a chef, but i'm probably misinformed, and in fact you have several great restaurants by reputation in sweden now. maybe i'm wrong about that. - well, you know it's a great question. so sweden... we know about foods a couple of different ways. either massive population, like let's say india and china or massive touring like italy and spain and france. we don't have that either, but what we do have is access to nature. so i grew up on an island where your steak was fish. four days a week we ate either mackerel, or fish balls or salmon and the day when we didn't have fish it was probably pork or chicken. but also the access to nature. so you go mushroom hunting, you go lingonberry picking 'cause all land is for, is public land. so just growing up without even knowing it, maybe we didn't have a lot of money, but we ate well and everything was homemade. so that-- - your adoptive paren

obviously, sweden is in shock.was behind this and why? no, i don't have anything was upi and why? no, i don't have anything was up i think the police are searching, and behind many are doing the technical examination of where the technical examination of where the truck was hijacked and a pedestrian street. we have to wait for the police to do their work and eventually find out who was responsible. we don't know that. the current swedish prime minister says that everything points to watch this being an act of terrorism. would you agree? absolutely. we have seen it in paris, london, berlin. a man hijacking a lorry and then driving into pedestrians with the clear intention of killing as many as he could. that is what we call terrorism. is sweden prepared for something like this? we live in the world where we live, but no one has been killed by terrorism in this city since 1975, when we had a german terrorist blowing up the german terrorist blowing up the german embassy. we had a man who attempted to do a suicide bomb

tha nkfully terror attack in sweden in 2010.manage to injure anyone other than himself. this tension has been brewing for a while. in terms of defending against it, it was the daily mail who after the westminster attack, of a similar nature, put forward a spread saying, we found instructions of how you can use a car or truck to kill people. i was thinking, you don't need instructions for that. it's obvious. anyone has these tools. that's what makes it so difficult to defend against. that's it for the papers for tonight. just the two stories dominating the headlines of course. don't forget you can see me from pages online on the bbc news website. there are seven days a week. if you mist the programme, you can watch it later on i play. i hope you will come back, rachel! you have taken to it very readily, hasn't she, then? thank you very much, both. coming up next: the weather. my my advice is to make the most of the weekend. should be plenty of sunshine around and temperatures will climb even higher than they did today, we've got

in 2014 and was denied that injune sweden in 2014 and was denied that in june last year sweden in 2014he did not do that so the police got that case in february and they were supposed to extradite him but that did not happen, they did not have the time and we then had this attack. to be no by this man was not deported at that time? -- to be no? there are several thousand people who are supposed to be extradited in sweden, many of them are hiding and i suspect the police did not have the time to look into it. are questions being asked about the effectiveness ora being asked about the effectiveness or a lack of either swedish immigration system? definitely, the prime minister said we had to look into this war but this is not a big political debate at the moment, it is about unity and we're going to see a much bigger political debate about this later on. we're watching pictures of the vigil held today, there are many thousands there, close to the place where this happened. can you tell us about the mood of that gathering?” happened. can you tell us about the mood of that gathering? i have

many people think they can come back to sweden, and legislation in sweden doesn't allow us to put themosecutors need to have evidence that these people have committed war crimes or any other crimes in syria, for instance, and that can be really tricky, as the prosecutor and the police need to go there and they cannot, so it is a dilemma. in other words, there are no—go areas for the authorities? yes, it has also been a long discussion here for some years that there are so—called no—go zones here in sweden, 55 of them. police have stated that these areas are especially problematic. there is high unemployment and drug problems, and basically crimes. what has happened is that firefighters and ambulances and police when they arrive to these places, people have been throwing stones and there have been throwing stones and there have been clashes in these areas, and although, i have to say, police are saying there are no no—go zones in sweden, the swedish police go anywhere on swedish soil, that is what they are saying, but however people are saying there are problems in these areas. in the a
