marathon bombing is dead. Police officers are searching now for the

other. SWAT teams are going from house to house and people have been

asked to remain indoors. The suspects, brothers aged 26 and 19,

with links to Chechnya, but both have lived in the US for the last

ten years. During a fierce gun battle, the older brother was

wounded and then died in hospital. His uncle calls for his remaining

nephew to end the manhunt. If you are alive, turn yourself then, and

ask for forgiveness. -- turn yourself them.

We'll bring you the latest on this developing story from Boston, as

thousands of police officers comb the city.

who died after being denied an abortion was the victim of systemic

failures in her care. Rolf Harris is named as the veteran

entertainer arrested by police investigating historic allegations

of sexual offences. The Bahrain Grand Prix will go

ahead despite pro-democracy protests involving thousands.

And why Prince Harry is joining a Celtic wait on Motherwell's score

against Dundee United to find out if they can start their title

Good evening. The entire city of Boston is in

virtual lockdown tonight as thousands of heavily armed police

search house to house for the surviving suspect in the marathon

bombings. The other was fatally wounded in a shoot out with police

during the night. They have been identified as brothers, aged 26 and

19, living in the States for the last decade but with links to the

Russian republic of Chechnya. The younger brother is now on the run.

His friends and family have urged him to hand himself in. With the

latest, here's Mark Mardell. This is what to terrorism can do. One of

America's older cities, frozen, locked down. Public transport has

stopped, businesses are closed, troops of police look ready for war.

They are throwing everything at this. Police poured into one small

suburb of Boston, Watertown. They are hunting for this man, 19-year-

old Dzhokhar to Maya, who has lived here for years. -- Dzhokhar

Tsarnaev. His brother is dead, shot by police. Tonight, their uncle is

angry and upset, calling on the younger brother to give himself up.

I say, Dzhokhar, if you are live, turn yourself in and ask for

forgiveness. From the victims, from the injured, and from those who

left. Ask forgiveness from these people. The net closed around the

two men hours after the FBI released video pictures of them at

the scene of the Boston Marathon, where their bombs killed three and

left many with horrific injuries. At 10:30pm, they tried to rob a 7-

Eleven store near the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Minutes

later, there were reports that the campus police officer had been

attacked. Sean Collier, 26, was shot many times as he sat in his

car and died soon after. As more police rushed to the scene, the

brothers hijacked a car. In the chase that followed, explosives

were thrown and shots were fired. The chase ended in Watertown, 10

miles from Boston. On the usually quiet suburban streets, a fierce 55

-- firefight, captured on a mobile phone. The police were taking no

chances. The innocent owner of a hijacked car was, very time,

treated as a suspect. Tamerlan Tsarnaev was fatally wounded and

died in hospital. There were eight cops standing around one dive. They

had him in the position. They threw him in the vehicle and whisked him

away. What did you see?They were screaming at him. They all had

their guns out. He was not complying, lying down fully. He was

at the point where he was like this. By the time the copper came over

and made me leave, he had finally laid down and that was it.

the shoot-out. He should be considered armed and dangerous. He

is a threat to anybody that might approach him. There is a 20 block

perimeter or around the location. We are concerned about securing the

area and making sure this individual is taken into custody.

We believe this to be a terrorist, a man who has come here to kill

people. The police will not let us go any further than this. They have

sent a message on Twitter that they are searching door to door and the

situation is very fluid. After a long night, dawn, and even more

police. Hundreds of heavily armed officers searching for just one man,

so dangerous, apparently, that the advice was to the whole of Boston

to stay home off the streets. are asking you to stay home, stay

indoors. We are asking businesses not to open, asking people not to

congregate outside. SWAT teams have swarmed over house in Cambridge,

four miles from the centre of the search, apparently the home at the

brothers shared. The hunt for the killer is determined, a little

desperate. At the moment it feels as if the country but not get back

to normal until he is caught. The authorities in the United

States are trying to build up a clearer picture of the two suspects.

More details are emerging about their backgrounds, but so far

little is known about their possible motive. Gordon Corera

reports from Washington. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the 19-year-old

who tonight is on the run from the authorities, leaving a trail of

destruction in his wake. We now know that on Monday he and his

But the question remains, why? What do we know about the men? The

brothers lived together in Cambridge, a suburb of Boston. They

had been in America for a decade. The younger brother had won a

scholarship as a promising student of the finishing school. Do you

recognise him? Yes, I do.One of his classmates told me she could

not understand what had happened to him. If someone asked me to

describe him I would have said nothing but good things. Knowing

that he has the same person that committed such a horrendous crime

and is continuing to do so, it is absolutely mind-blowing. Tamerlan,

the elder of the two, at 26, who may have had a daughter, showed

more signs of disaffection. In a photo essay on his boxing career he

said, I do not have a single American friend, they do not

understand them, there are no values any more, people cannot

control themselves. The brothers are ethnically Chechnyan, from a

troubled region where an Islamist insurgency has been battling the

Russian state. But the family left Chechnya before one of the brothers

was even born, and today their father said he was sure they had

been framed. Discovering if there is a link to outside of the US and

to any group is a top priority. A former senior official at the FBI

and CIA a spoke to me. The priority is whether there is something else

that we have not found, in terms of people. We will check their e-mail,

phones, money to. Have they touched the ball over time who might have

been active participants in this conspiracy, or passive participants

and in contact with others. Investigators want to know if this

was a home-grown attack by two disaffected American residents, or

if there was direction from elsewhere. For now, it is all about

finding the final fugitive. Let's go live to Mark Mardell. It

has been nearly 20 hours that police have been searching for the

final fugitive. What are they saying? They are playing their

cards very close to their chest. The few hours ago they said they

had New Leeds but did not spell out what they were. They have not come

forward with anything as yet. They have quite the job. There are a lot

of houses and they have to search them one by one. It does not just

mean going up and asking if everything is all right. They have

to do it room by room, searching the attics and cellars, presumably

anywhere that anybody could hide. But you have to remember that it is

about 10 hours since they looked down the rest of Boston and the

suburbs around here, clearly an indication that they think he might

have got away. One wonders how long you can keep the city on lockdown.

Thank you. The widower of an Indian dentist

who died after being refused an abortion in an Irish hospital as

she had a miscarriage, has called her treatment "barbaric and

inhuman". An inquest found that Savita Halapannavar lost her life

because of systemic failures in her care. She had pleaded with medical

staff for an abortion at University Hospital in Galway last October but

died a week later from organ failure caused by an infection.

Nick Higham has the details. It was a personal tragedy. Savita

Halappanavar went into hospital complaining of back pain, 17 weeks

into her first pregnancy. Eight days later she was dead from

septicaemia. Her death shattered the happiness of a young couple,

seen here in a family video. Today would have been their wedding

anniversary. The inquest left her husband still angry that she was

not given the abortion he believes could have saved her life. She was

just left there to die. We were always kept in the dark. If she had

known her life was at risk, she would have jumped off the bed and

sought a different hospital. We were never told. And it is

horrendous, it is barbaric and inhuman, the way that she was

treated in that hospital. inquest heard of failings in the

treatment she received at this Galway hospital, but it also shone

a harsh light on the confused state of Irish abortion law. Doctors in

island can perform an abortion if there is a risk to a mother's live,

but when is that? One expert told an inquest that when she and her

husband first asked for her pregnancy to be terminated her life

was not at risk so it would have been illegal. Four days later, she

was so ill that her life was in danger, but it was too late for an

abortion to save her. In that circumstance, doctors often work in

fear because they have no protection, even if they believe it

is the correct treatment and the woman is asking for it and the

foetus is not viable. They still cannot act. Abortion is a hot

political issue in Ireland. Today, the coroner called for new

guidelines for doctors on when they can intervene to save a woman's

life. The government has talked of the legislation. I think you will

have better maternal care from this to make sure something that this

never happens again. It seems one young woman's death has ignited a

do so after Moody's downgraded the UK back in February. Hugh Pym is

here, this doesn't sound good, what do you make of it? This is the third

such verdict by a leading credit rating agency. Back in February,

Moody 's caused quite a stir by removing the AAA, the first time it

had happened in modern times, and a couple of weeks ago standard and

goers said it would not downgrade UK, reaffirming the AAA. Now Fitch

has gone for this downgrade. The US and France have had similar

experiences in recent years. They are saying the lack of growth in the

UK is making it harder to reduce the deficit, so the Treasury's response

is that it redoubles their determination to push on with

deficit reduction. There is nothing in these reports about a Plan B. It

comes at the end of a difficult week for the Chancellor, the IMF

suggesting he should ease back on austerity to get some growth, and

Labour are saying it is a humiliating blow for George Osborne,

who had set such great store by keeping the troubling.

-- the AAA. 12 bodies have been recovered next to a fertiliser plant

where an explosion took place in Texas. The authorities say there is

no indication it was anything other than an industrial accident.

Alastair Leithead reports from west, where the blast happened.

The town of West is in mourning. It is a small place, everyone here

knows somebody who died in the explosion and their families. Some

of those killed were volunteers with the fire department, among them

Maurice Bridges, shown here in the middle of the front row, who lives

near the factory and received the emergency call to the fire. He

kissed his two-year-old son and said he would be back for dinner. 20

minutes later, there was a huge explosion. His sister Louise said

she walked the streets until 4am trying to find him before hearing

the terrible news from the mayor. asked him, did he make it out? And

he said, no, he was the very first one in there, right on the

explosion, he was there. And they said he did not make it out. And

that's just... Our entire world right there, he was part of us, it

is gone. She said she was angry with her brother. I felt like he knew

better than to go in there and do something like that, knowing how

dangerous it was. But he did not put that thought in his head. He just

went in and did... He thought about other people first, he did not think

about anything else. There is very little left of the factory which was

once in an isolated area before the town grew around it. The force of

the blast created a huge amount of damage, 200 people were injured, and

tonight up to 60 people may still be unaccounted for. Emergency centres

have been set up for the many who have lost homes, but few have come.

People here look after each other. Half the town is still sealed off by

police, there is a huge amount of work to be done, search and rescue

has become repair and rebuild, there are power lines to fix and buildings

to strengthen or demolish before people can return to their homes.

Many in his close-knit town believe this was just a terrible accident,

but the questions are being asked in an area where a similar blast more

than 50 years ago killed hundreds of people.

The Bahrain Grand Prix is embroiled in fresh controversy after Formula

One's governing body insisted the race will go ahead despite protests

in the country. Two years ago the race was cancelled after a

government crackdown against campaigners during the height of the

Arab Spring uprising. From Bahrain, Dan Roan reports.

Gearing up for the most controversial Grand Prix of the

season, the Bahrain circuit was on high alert this morning, visitors to

the fortress in the desert were forced to pass through multiple

checkpoints. And this is why. Continued protests in the small but

divided Arab island, Bahrain is experiencing a third year of violent

confrontation between the Sunni government and the Shi'ite majority

who want reforms. Talks aimed at conciliation have begun, but

opposition groups insist the pressure continues. It was the Crown

and Sue had the idea of bringing Formula One to the Middle East, and

he told me that the event would be unaffected. -- the Crown Court. Is

it safe for spectators and teams? Absolutely, and after the

demonstration there will be a very small minority of violent protesters

who will try to cause trouble with the police. But that is par for the

course, unfortunately. Outside, however, the country 's biggest

sporting event is condemned by many as a propaganda tool for the

kingdom's rulers, and there have been demands for it to be cancelled

again. Formula One needs to stand with the people in the country where

it races, particularly where they are calling for human rights and

democratic reforms. Inside the circuit, practice went ahead as

normal today, but this is a Grand Prix like no other. The F1

authorities today felt the need to issue a statement, insisting that

the race was safe and that by bringing the Grand Prix back here to

Bahrain, it could be a force for good. For now at least, the sport is

beating with one voice. We have got to listen to what they say, and we

trust in the FIA, we trust they will make the right decision, and here we

are, racing in Bahrain. Once again, sport and politics have collided

here, and F1 finds itself having to defend the decision to return. This

is a sport in which taking risks comes as second nature, but as

tensions resurfaced, driving through with the race peels like another

gamble. Rolf Harris was today named as the

veteran entertainer arrested by police investigating historic

allegations of sexual offences. The 83-year-old was originally

interviewed in November but his name was not released. Matt Prodger

reports. I am on a wonderful Welsh adventure

as I discovered... Britain's most famous Australian in one of his more

recent appearances, Rolf Harris is 83 now, and he has been on

television for 60 of those years. Last November, police investigating

allegations of sexual offences searched his home here beside the

River Thames in Berkshire. He was later questioned at a police station

and formally arrested at the end of March. In the five months since

police arrived here at his house to carry out a search, he has made no

public comment either on the allegations against him or the

police investigation. Today was no different. The origins of the

investigation lie in the case of Jimmy Savile, who was thought to

have sexually abused hundreds of people, but the police have made

clear that the allegations against Rolf Harris are not in the same

category and it is understood they relate to one person, a female. He

has not been charged with any household name as map first, a

singer and then an artist. He has performed on stage well into his 70s

and remains a prolific painter. One broadcaster, Channel 5, today

announced that while the legal matter is ongoing, it had removed

his programmes from the schedule. Health officials in Wales have

confirmed that a 25 old man who was found dead in Swansea was infected

with measles. -- 25-year-old. More tests will be carried out to

determine the exact cause of death. More than 800 measles cases have

been diagnosed in the Swansea area. Hywel Griffith is there, people may

be worried by this development, what the health there saying? Well, they

are urging caution. They will have to wait for the full results of a

postmortem examination on the body of 25-year-old Gareth Williams

before they will know conclusively whether measles was the cause of his

death was simply a background condition. However, at the same

time, they have stressed once again today how dangerous this disease can

be. They have been drawn comparisons with an outbreak in Dublin 13 years

ago, mapping this growth against that outbreak. Then, 1200 people

were ill, and sadly three children were killed. So far 808 cases, and

that is why once again tomorrow hospitals in the local area will

open their doors for emergency MMR clinics.

The new president of Venezuela was sworn into night after narrowly

winning the election to succeed Hugo Chavez, but opponents of Nicholas

Madeira are still challenging the result and the ceremonial was

interrupted by a protester who grabbed the microphone. Will Grant

reports. After a noisy and at times angry

week, for half of Venezuela, today was a celebration, one of their

first since Hugo Chavez died of cancer last month. The presidential

election was supposed to be a smooth transition to a successor to the

charismatic revolutionary leader. Instead, it ushered in a fresh

period of uncertainty. The narrow winner was Hugo Chavez's handpicked

heir, Nicholas Madeira, and today, in accordance with this final wish,

he was inaugurated as president. -- Nicolas Maduro. But even the

ceremonial was marred. State television rapidly cut away and then

returned where a visibly shaken Nicolas Maduro said he could have

been killed. It was a flavour of the confusion that has railed in

Venezuela since the vote. The opposition have called for a full

manual recount, but Socialist party loyalists are in no doubt as to who

won the election. TRANSLATION: The opposition think they can to beat

us, but they could not beat Chavez and they will not beat us, ever.

not everyone agrees. This is one of the biggest and most violent

shantytowns in Latin America. Nicolas Maduro's challenger is the

state governor here and are very popular. They say the election was

fair and that their candidate won it. Their neighbours are pro

Capriles. They say the election was flawed and that they want a recount.

supporter of Chavez until one of the country's deep-seated problems made

her abandon the socialist revolution in favour of Capriles. TRANSLATION:

I changed to side because of the crime. Six years ago, my brother was

killed, and it still hurts. years, Venezuelans have been split

into those who loved Hugo Chavez and those who loved him. Nicolas

Maduro's biggest challenge will be trying to govern across the divide.
