Analysis: 'Governments must second-guess jihadists'published at 12:06 British Summer Time 18 August 2017

The practice of using a large vehicle as a weapon to attack pedestrians is not new.
Palestinian militants have used it against Israelis, al-Qaeda encouraged its followers to do it seven years ago in its online magazine.
But the recent spate of lethal attacks in European cities stems in large part from a call made in 2014 by the now-deceased Islamic State propagandist, Abu Mohammed Al-Adnani.
He urged IS's followers to abandon elaborate plots in favour of simple, low-tech, high-impact attacks in the West.
He specifically mentioned vehicles. Now, with IS coming under massive pressure in the Middle East, where its caliphate is shrinking by the day, its remaining leaders are more determined than ever to strike back at those countries they blame for the end of their brutal rule.
So the onus will now be on governments to second-guess where violent jihadists may be tempted to strike next and put measures in place to stop them.
Victims are of '34 nationalities'published at 12:03 British Summer Time 18 August 2017
Emergency services in Catalonia have said those killed and injured in the attacks are of "34 different nationalities", based on a provisional assessment.
