Coming up in sportsday in bbc news, the biggest match of the tournament so far as englands women continue their defence of their title as they face france in the semifinals of the rugby world cup. Good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. Four moroccans have appeared in court in spain. Theyre suspected of being part of the islamist cell which planned and carried out the attacks in and around barcelona last week. 15 people were killed and more than 100 injured. The four men are the only surviving members of a group of 12. In court, one of them admitted that a bigger attack was being planned. There are reports tonight that the four have just been charged with terror related murder. From spain, our correspondent tom burridge reports. One by one, they were led into a high security prison outside madrid. They are suspects in a plot, linked to attacks which killed 15 men, women and children. This morning, they were driven in for questioning in a closed session at madrids high court. Taken there in his hospital pyjamas, Mohamed Houli chemlal. The 22 year old was badly injured when an alleged bomb factory blew up the day before the ramblas attack. Here, police found 120 gas canisters as well as explosives. Investigators believe the terror cell was planning a more sophisticated attack. Also in court this morning, mohammed aalla, said to be the owner of the audi a3 used in the attack in the coastal resort of cambrils. A speed camera clocked four of the attackers as they drove to paris in that very car, the week before the attacks. And this mans passport was found in the van, rented and used to kill. The driver of the van, younis abuyaqoob, was shot dead by Police Yesterday in countryside outside barcelona. Hed been on the run for four days. This new Video Shows Police raids in ripoll on the night of the ramblas attack. The town is where the imam, abdelbaki es satty, is thought to have driven young men to carry out violentjihad. One of the suspects apparently admitted to the court that he and his accomplices were plotting a much bigger attack than the one here on las ramblas and they planned to use bombs. The buzz of everyday life in barcelona goes on, past the mountain of tributes for lives lost, young and old. Tom burridge, bbc news, in barcelona. Among the terrible stories that emerged after the attacks in spain, there have been those of kindness and bravery as well. British tourist harry athwal has been called a hero after he rushed to help a child on las ramblas, ignoring police who were shouting at him to move to safety. Adina campbell has been speaking to him. Like thousands of other holiday makers, harry athwal didnt expect to see the horror of last weeks terror attack in barcelona. But he found himself rushing towards one of the victims. In the middle of las ramblas was the body of a child, and that automatically drew me to that child. At that point, i knew what i had to do. Ijust raced to that child. Many of us have seen the picture of you crouching down beside the boy. What was going through your mind . I was afraid for the boy at that point. When i looked at his injuries, they were severe. I was actually quite emotional as well, because i knew straight away that this boy had to be seven or eight years old, the same age as my son. And like i said, due to the injuries, i was quite upset. But the first thing i tried to do was to check his pulse to see if he was alive, and because of the nature of the injuries, i didnt want to move him. His hairwas similar to my sons hair. It was a bit shorter than my sons now, but the hair was the same. It was brown, beautiful, thick brown hair. I stroked it, trying to talk to him. I said a little prayer as well, in punjabi. People have called you a hero. Im not a hero. Im just a common man, same as anybody else. These situations are recurring more and more often. Now we have to stand up and be counted. And how are you coping . I think im still in shock. Its difficult to digest what youve been through. I cant look at that picture. I look at that picture and it takes me straight back. Harry athwal, speaking to our correspondent, adina campbell. President trump has announced that hes sending more troops to afghanistan to fight the resurgent taliban. It represents a reversal for the president who, whilst campaigning, had called for a quick withdrawal from a conflict which hed called a total disaster. Washington is expected to send an additional 4,000 troops to the country. Theylljoin around 8,000 who have already been deployed there. But together, thats still far fewer than in 2011, when 100,000 us troops were in afghanistan. Our north america editor jon sopel reports. Donald trump loves being a crowd and throughout the campaign, he gave his audiences the promise to pull us forces out of afghanistan force but a gigantic waste of money and american blood, he said. So this speech was going to take a bit of navigating, because above the sound of the band playing hail to the chief was the screeching noise of a u turn. Chief was the screeching noise of a uturn. My original instinct was to pull out, and historically, i like following my instincts. But all my life, ive heard that decisions are much different when you sit behind the desk in the oval office. But what this flip flop means in practical terms is hard to assess. The president wouldnt say how many additional troops he would send, nor commit to how long they would be there. The mission would bejudged by results, not timelines. He called the policy strategic realism, and it was summed up thus. We are not nation building again. We are killing terrorists. Some of his harshest words were aimed at the pakistani government, whom he accused of harbouring terrorists while taking billions of dollars in us aid. And although kabul may be a long way from charlottesville, recent events in virginia were clearly in his mind when he said this. Loyalty to our nation demands loyalty to one another. Love for america requires love for all of its people. When we open our hearts to patriotism, there is no room for prejudice, no place for bigotry and no tolerance for hate. More than 2000 us troops have already lost their lives in afghanistan, and the president would have liked nothing more than two announced their withdrawal. But the strategic importance of not letting afghanistan fail as a state again means that donald trump have had to sign his name to a policy that means there is now an open ended commitment to the us remaining. Although donald trump has tried to dress this speech up as marking a significant shift in policy, the most striking thing about it is the sense of continuity with the obama white house. And one other thing. Now that this major policy announcement has come on this is Donald Trumps war in afghanistan. Not barack obamas, not the generals. He now has ownership of something he never wanted to buy. Jon sopel, bbc news, washington. Live now to secunder kermani, whos in the afghan capital, kabul, for us now. President trump says he is sending more troops. What has been the response . The afghan president ashraf kearney has welcomed the announcement. He said that it shows that america would stand with afghanistan until the end. Security in afghanistan has been deteriorating. The government here only controls about 60 of the country, and there had been fears that if President Trump had ordered a complete withdrawal of american forces, that would have been in another boost for the taliban. Mr trumps comments on pakistan and his tough stance on pakistan is another thing that has gone down well here. Afg ha n thing that has gone down well here. Afghan Security Services have long claimed that pakistan is supporting the taliban and have asked for more to be done to crack down on these so called safe havens for militants. Those comments by President Trump, though, have been met with anger in pakistan, where the authorities have consistently denied any role in supporting militant groups. The taliban, for their part, have issued a statement vowing to continue the fighting. Secunder kermani, thank you. The former boss of the retail chain bhs, Dominic Chappell, is to be prosecuted by the pensions regulator forfailing to provide information to an investigation into its sale. Bhs went into Administration Last year, causing 11,000 people to lose theirjobs and leaving a £571 million pension deficit. Lets go live now to our business correspondent, emma simpson. Another twist in the tale. It is. This saga is far from it is. This saga is farfrom over. You join me at what used to be bhss Flagship Store on oxford street. You might be able to make out a huge curtain covering up the refurbishment work inside. But today, what has been revealed that Dominic Chappell has been summoned to appear before Brighton Magistrates Court next month for failing to provide information and documents without a reasonable excuse. The pension regulator wants this material because it still pursuing mr chappel over whether he avoided his responsibilities to the bhf Pension Scheme. Back in february, sir philip green finally stumped up 363 Million Pounds to settle his case with the regulator. Remember, he sold bhs to mr chappell. The enforcement action against mr chappell is still continuing and although he has previously maintained that this big black hole in the Pension Scheme wasnt his fault. So if he is convicted on these specific technical charges, he will face an unlimited fine. So the tale of bhs has yet to run its full course. Emma simpson, thank you. Rescue workers on the italian island of ischia say theyve pulled three children, including a seven month old baby, alive from the rubble of their home after an earthquake struck last night. It hit the Holiday Island off the coast of naples, killing two people and injuring a0 others. Richard lister reports. Minutes after the earthquake, dazed survivors escape their ruined homes. Around them, in a blizzard of dust, buried cars and rubble strewn streets, several buildings in casamicciola collapsed. Rescuers worked frantically to get to those buried. Here, the faint sounds of a baby crying and, after some careful digging, a small miracle. Seven month old pascale was safe. His brothers, though, were still missing. The earthquake struck as people were sitting down for their evening meal. The homes of some 2,000 residents were damaged. Some may have to be demolished. Translation the house is destroyed, we cant even get in. What should we do . Falling masonry remained a threat as the Emergency Services brought in more resources. And then some good news. Both of little pascales brothers were found alive, his family survived. Applause. Others, though, are counting the cost of a terrifying night. Richard lister, bbc news. Our top story this evening four moroccans appear in court in spain in connection with the terror attacks that killed 15 people.

Ford has become the latest car company to launch a scrappage scheme for older cars. They say the move will help cut air pollution. Customers with cars made before 2010 will be offered £2,000 off some new models. Unlike schemes by bmw and mercedes, ford will accept petrol as well as diesel cars. But with the scheme only running until december, some are questioning whether its also about boosting sales. Our transport correspondent, richard westcott, reports. How do you get a grip on pollution . Well, one way is to smash up millions of older, dirtier cars. Fords become the latest and biggest firm to offer a scrappage scheme, offering £2,000 to crush an old vehicle, if you buy a new one. Some people will look at this cynically and say, well, sales are down, youre only offering this forfour months, its only £2,000 scrappage scheme, this is about selling more cars, isnt it . Well, it really is anything but a cynical marketing ploy because i could spend my money on much more efficient things to drive sales. This genuinely is about air quality. Annabels11 year old car would qualify for the scheme and, like many others, she wants to upgrade to something greener, so is she tempted . I feel guilty every time i drive, really, knowing that, you know, how high the emissions are. Its just not enough, £2,000. It would have to be Something Like £10,000 to make me really go for it and it would have to be for an electric or a hybrid car. Ford sells more cars than any other company in britain. The fiesta is the most popular model, so thats why its significant that they have now come up with a scrappage scheme, but its only going to last four months initially. The companys talking about perhaps a few thousand dirty cars being scrapped and taken off the roads. There are 19 million in total, so can it really make a difference . Critics say scrappage schemes arent targeted enough on the most polluted areas, but sensing a bargain, showroom customers were more positive. I think its a good deal. My daughter is thinking about changing her car and currently her cars not going to be worth the value that theyre offering for the scrappage. I think its a good contribution to getting the polluted cars off the road. I think some people may think its not enough, but its a good start. After months of speculation about a possible government scrappage scheme, its now the car makers who are taking the initiative, but not yet on a scale to dent this huge problem. Richard westcott, bbc news. The us navy says divers searching for ten american sailors, missing since their warship collided with a merchant tanker near singapore, have found human remains. They were discovered in sealed compartments of the ussjohn s mccain, which was nearing port yesterday when it collided with the tanker. The impact tore a hole in its side and flooded an area where some were sleeping. More than 70,000 people have signed a petition calling on the government to spend more on transport outside of london and the south east of england. It emerged earlier this year that more than half of englands annual £32 billion transport budget is spent in the capital. The former chancellor, george osborne, says a Northern Powerhouse rail network connecting liverpool to hull must be planned for. Our north of england correspondent, fiona trott, reports. Life beyond westminster. Leeds is the uks largest legal and Financial Centre outside london. But could it be better connected to boost northern businesses . Hi dan, are you all right . This Online Gambling company is one of leeds biggest employers. 50 of the people we spoke to said the commute was just too difficult, even a0 or 50 miles away, so improving transport links, particularly rail, would really help our business. Today the former chancellor says a high speed link between liverpool and hull is the answer. Well, if the government is serious about building a Northern Powerhouse, it needs to commit to high speed links between the northern cities, so we bring those cities together and then the whole of the north will be stronger than the individual parts. The government has recognised the problem. It launched the Northern Powerhouse project just three years ago and is determined to improve transport across the north, actually so we can see our economy grow as that Northern Powerhouse, that we know it can be. This is what the government is planning already. Hs2 would connect london with birmingham and then crewe and manchester and leeds. An hs3 project would improvejourney times across the pennines, from liverpool to leeds and then possibly onto hull. It could cut the 40 mile journey from 48 minutes to 26 minutes and the 90 minute journey between liverpool and leeds could take an hour. George osborne believes the northern economy will be transformed by investing £7 billion in the rail infrastructure, but what do passengers themselves think . If youve got a good train service, with the potential of getting work elsewhere, but its still in good travelling time, i think its always going to be good. Im not sure the powerhouse is a concept i really believe in, in terms of it, but i think individually the cities in the north can do a lot more development. Theres a lot of potential for them. Im all for it, whatever. No good arguing about it and carrying on, get it done, i say. People here want all politicians to look beyond london. Thats why any campaign for future investment in rail or road cant come soon enough for towns and cities across the north. Fiona trott, bbc news, leeds.

There was uproar last year when the broadcaster poached the show in a multi Million Pound three year deal. But as our media editor amol rajan reports, the Television Landscape is changing dramatically and the bake off brouhaha may well just be the start of things to come. This is channel 4s shiny new toy. Nobody wants to be the first person to leave. Great british bake off, poached from the bbc and due to air next week. The winner of the 2015 Great British bake off is. This is what they want to recreate. Nadiya. Cheering and applause. Watched by 13 Million People on bbc one. Channel 4 paid a reported £75 million for three years. According to the man who ran both channel 4 and the bbc, bake off is outside channel 4s remit. Personally, i think channel 4 were out of their minds. Buying a show like that, using a cheque book to buy a ready made bbc show, the most popular show on british television, its not what channel 4 is there to do at all. Its there to be a nursery for talent and ideas. So i was quite shocked. The Islamic State is the state of the muslims and we are responsible for making it grow, flourish. But this is why its happening. Though a public broadcaster, channel 4 is commercially funded and believes only big audiences can generate the revenues necessary to fund shows that push boundaries. Up you come. Its not going tojump, they cant jump. Up you come. The competition for eyeballs has become ferocious. Four of the five Biggest Companies in the world google, apple, facebook and amazon are moving dramatically into quality tv. Queen elizabeth ii. Meanwhile, streaming services, like netflix and disney, are investing billions in original programming to broadcast directly to hundreds of millions of customers. Technological innovation is changing both the supply and the demand of tv. On the supply side, the choice for audiences is greater than ever. In terms of demand, many young viewers increasingly consume tv across multiple devices, ignore tv schedules and, in some cases, dont own a television at all. Archive finally, we called at the clarkes and although it was saturday, we found them all at home. Time was when families across the country would come together to watch a limited range of channels. That still happens, but on fewer occasions. Archive oh, yes, definitely. The buttlergo family in kent illustrate the changing way parents and children watch programmes. So adjay, is this a normal family scene for how you guys watch tv together . It is, it is. As soon as i come home, its the news that everybody watches and theyjoin in, you know, and then after that they watch what they want to watch. So drew, tara, do you guys watch tv with your parents most of the time or not . I live away from home most of the time, so my access to the tv is very different, its through my laptop and through netflix or bbc iplayer. Im usually spending my time on nickelodeon or even watching food network, good food. To quote the late sir bruce forsyth, television is today a generation game. While broadcasters from the bbc to channel 4 compete ever harder for the flagship shows that can bring a nation together, technology is pulling audiences and families in different directions. Amol rajan, bbc news. Time for a look at the weather, heres darren bett. Hello, sophie. It was baking in wales today with sorry we just had the warmest day of the month.
