abdul fattah al sisi, has announced a state of emergency, following two bomb attacks in which at least 45 people died. the attacks on two churches were deliberately timed for a day when millions of christians in the country were attending services to mark palm sunday, one week before easter. so—called islamic state say it was responsible for the blasts — the latest in a series of attacks on egypt's christian minority. 29 people were killed in the first explosion in the nile delta city of tanta. while 16 more died in the second attack in alexandria. this report from our middle east correspondent, yolande knell. egyptian christians had gathered to celebrate one of their holiest days. but this palm sunday brought violence. the first deadly explosion was during mass at st george's church in tanta, leaving blood everywhere, wooden pews shattered. just hours later there was another attack here, in the northern city of alexandria. this time just outside the church, the dead included police officers who had stopped the suicide bomberfrom entering. the head of egypt's coptic church, pope tawadros, had already left. in rome, at palm sunday prayers, pope francis condemned the bombings. he's due to visit egypt later this month. a recent upsurge in attacks on egypt's coptic christians is causing concern. they are one of the oldest christian communities in the world and they make up one in ten of the country's mainly muslim population. in february hundreds fled the sinai region following a threat from the so—called islamic state group which also claimed the latest bombings. and in december, nearly 30 were killed in this church explosion in cairo. coptic leaders say christians feel increasingly threatened. i'm very blessed to be part of a church that has faced discrimination systematically for decades. and the response to that has always been quite gracious, non—retaliatory and non—violent. and i pray this continues, because if we get into a spiral of violence more and more people will get hurt. egypt's government says the latest attacks are another failed attempt to destroy national unity by causing religious tensions. but coptic christians, grieving once again, say much more needs to be done to make them feel safe in their own country. yolande knell, bbc news. for more on these attacks, i'm joined by doctor hisham hellyer from cairo. he's a nonresident fellow at the atlantic council and the royal united services institute in london, as well as author of a revolution undone: egypt's road beyond revolt. thank you very much forjoining us. tell us more about this state of emergency. wendy you expect it to come into force and how do you think it will work? i think it comes into force immediately. how it actually works is a question that is as yet unanswered. i am works is a question that is as yet unanswered. iam not works is a question that is as yet unanswered. i am not sure what the precise stipulations are going to be. the government is able under a state news and see to do a number of different things. it's not clear what they are going to do. —— a state of emergency. there has not been any discussion around, for example been any discussion around, for exa m ple cu rfews. been any discussion around, for example cu rfews. they been any discussion around, for example curfews. they could easily implement that but so far it hasn't been raised. there are different effects that apply to the legal code but, as yet, it doesn't seem to be entirely clear what they are going to change from what the status quo is. what do you think will need to change to protect the 9 million coptic christians in the country? there are two things. first, i think it's about protecting egyptians en masse, not just coptic it's about protecting egyptians en masse, notjust coptic christians, because the whole country is at risk of militant attacks from terrorist groups. what is specific that these attacks today is that they targeted the christian community, in particular, in tanta and alexandria, and that comes after the declaration earlier this year of an increased targeting of christians in egypt by isis, by daesh. i think that's likely to continue. they've been singled out for targets by these radical groups. having said that, i'm not sure what can be done in order to completely defend against such activities taking place. we saw in westminster that it's impossible to completely eliminate the risk of terrorism. we've seem in stockholm and other places around the world. the question that remains is, particularly when it came to tanta, there are questions relating to whether or not there was a security breach that was a result of some sort of failure within the system. the head of security in that area, where tanta is located, was dismissed by the state today. that seems to indicate that some sort of breach had taken place. with alexandria, that's very different. there was a huge security presence and seven police officers, men and women, died as a result of their effo rts women, died as a result of their efforts to try and keep the suicide bomber out of the church. they succeeded in doing that but they lost their lives in the process and other people were killed at the end of the day, there are certain things you can do security wise to minimise the risk of attacks, but very little that i think you can do to com pletely that i think you can do to completely obliterated the risk of attacks. thank you very much for your thoughts. 20,000 people have gathered in central stockholm for a "lovefest" vigil to remember the victims of friday's deadly lorry attack. swedish police say the uzbek suspect was facing deportation and had expressed sympathy with extremists groups. danjohnson reports from stockholm talented, compassionate and caring, chris bevington in the words of his father. he chose to marry and to call sweden home. he had young children and worked for the music company spotify. he was here, in stockholm's crowded shopping streets on friday afternoon when a hijacked truck was turned into a weapon. a belgian, and to swedish citizens we re belgian, and to swedish citizens were also killed. today, investigators revealed more about the man they think was at the wheel. we know the suspect showed sympathies for extremist organisations, says the police chief. among them, islamic state. he isa chief. among them, islamic state. he is a 39—year—old from uzbekistan, although he hasn't been officially named. he was on the security services' radar but they say he was a marginalfigure. his application to stay in sweden was turned down last summer and police were looking for him because he had avoided being deported. this is where the truck ended up, smashed against a department store window. people have been coming to write messages of hope and defiance on the boards, and they have been more tributes to the victims, too. just yards away, a vigil, a chance to share feelings and try and make sense of them. sadness, anger, fear of what might happen next. quite emotional. i'm very sad, very angry, but at the same time it's quite wonderful how people come together. we stand here in solidarity, not just with those in stockholm, but around the world, with everyone. we need to feel the love and that we are together in this and not afraid. there is pride as well in the response so there is pride as well in the response so far. spontaneous applause. home's police officers and applause. home's police officers and a challenge to those who threaten the way of life here. —— some spontaneous applause for stockholm's police officers. this is a good picture of how sweden reacted. display of multiculturalism, kindness and tolerance, things which people recognise could now face a threat. the us secretary of state, rex tillerson, has criticised russia for failing to prevent last week's poison gas attack on syrian civilians. mr tillerson did not accuse moscow of involvement in the attack but he said he would discuss russia's international obligations on chemical weapons when he visits the country on tuesday.he also clarified there is no change in the us policy towards syria. i think the president was very clear in his message to the american people. this strike was related solely to the most recent, horrific use of chemical weapons against women, children and as the president said, even small babies. the strike was a message to assad that your multiple violations of agreements at the un and under the chemical weapons charter in 2013, that those would not go without a response in the future and we are asking russia to fulfil its commitment and we are calling on assad to cease the use of these weapons. other than that, there is no change to our military. david willis is in washington for us. the us secretary of state not exactly trying to smooth a path ahead of his visit to moscow, easy? -- is ahead of his visit to moscow, easy? —— is he. harsh criticism of russia following the chemical weapons attack last week, none of it harsher than that from the united states and from the us secretary of state, rex tillerson. he went back to criticising russia today on the sunday talk shows. particularly saying that russia was complicit, if you like, although he didn't go quite that far, in this chemical weapons attack, by failing to see through the commitment it gave to the international community to lead to the ending of the chemical weapons programme in syria. as far as that was concerned, mr tillerson said that russia was either incompetent or outmanoeuvred. he is due to visit moscow in the next few days, and he said he will be pressing russia to live up to that commitment it gave to the international community, and he will also be urging russia to re—examine its current relationship with the administration of bashar al—assad in syria. the next few days, that meeting could also illuminate the sort of relationship the united states will have with russia going forward. it's almost expansionary, just a few weeks ago, when he was first taking office, it looked as though, as far as the trump administration was concerned, that syria wasn't really america's problem, that china might turn out to be the enemy of russia the friend. a few weeks later, a lot of that has changed, it seems. we also hear the winds of change from another president trump's top advisers, his national security adviser, who was on one of the sunday morning chat shows. he said with regards to syria that the restriction will try and change the assad regime and destroy isis in syria at the same time. that's a massive shift in policy. yes, although it's been tempered slightly by remarks made by tillerson. they are more or less in lockstep, these administration officials, but there is some daylight between their sta nces is some daylight between their stances on these things. the american stance as far as syria is concerned, administration officials are keen to point out that that remains unaltered, namely that american involvement in syria is chiefly aimed at rooting out and destroying so—called islamic state and, once that's achieved, then they plan to coordinate with the international community and seek to engineer the removal of bashar al—assad. but they are making the point that the cruise missile attack launched by america a couple of days ago was a one—off, and it doesn't change the basic policy, as far as the us is concerned in syria. in other news: according to us media reports, donald trump's deputy national security adviser, kt mcfarland, has been asked to step down. ms mcfarland, who previously worked for fox news, had been in the job just three months. the move comes days after mr trump removed his senior strategist steve bannon from the national security council. a car bomb attack targetting the new head of the somali army has killed at least 13

offjust before half time. henrik makahtarian doubled united's lead less than a minute after the break before marcus rashford added a 3rd late on moving jose mourinho's side up to 5th. we wa nt we want to fight in the premier league until it is not mathematically possible, but a p pa re ntly mathematically possible, but apparently we cannot win it. in the europa league, we can. we have eight teams in competition and a quarterfinal, and it's a competition that we can win. during this match, we had lots of players that were not here today. and the most important thing was, after the three points, not have more injuries. the hardest thing when you are a manager is when you are losing all the time, and at the moment we are. that is hard. i have worked at teams which a won a lot of games, but at the moment it's tough, but it is tough for the players. they care, and at the moment we are not doing as well as we should be. everton were 4—2 winners against leicester with belgium striker romelu lu ka ku collecting two. the premier league champions leicester had been 2—1 up after ten minutes but were trailing by half—time as lukaku made it 23 in the league so far this season, while leicester lost their first match under craig shakespeare since he took over. we scored at 4—2 and then we controlled the game and had some great football. i think it's one of the most complete performances of the most complete performances of the team of the season. we have really comfortable feeling, playing at home. with the support of the fans. it's a tough stadium to come. that's what we like, to have it. and to put the pressure on every opponent, and the next one is next week. in italy's serie a, roma have maintained their chase of juventus with a 3—0 win at bologna. napoli lead at lazio. did it
