Spain is on high alert after two terrorist attacks in the space of eight hours, left 19 people dead, including five suspected terrorists, and more than 100 injured.

Fourteen people were killed in an attack in the heart of Barcelona on Thursday, when a van was used to mow down pedestrians on the major boulevard, Las Ramblas.
