A car bomb has killed at least 34 people and wounded more

than a hundred, in the heart of the Turkish capital,

Ankara.It exploded near the city's main park, setting

It's the third time the city has been hit in the last five months.

So far, no group has claimed

responsibility for this latest attack.

Our Turkey Correspondent, Mark Lowen, reports.

The car burst into flames near a busy central area. And says Rushton

as casualty figures rise. Burning day be rained down close to

government and office buildings. Eyewitnesses spoke of a massive

last. It came next to ours, a second past, there was a woman next to us,

her seat just catapulted. Thumping hit my forehead, it was a car, the

car exploded, the car I think was black. Five people aboard the bust

died, I saw it. I ran away as quickly as I could, something hit my

shoulder and my forehead. Two days ago the US Embassy in Ankara warned

of a possible terrorist attack nearby. You will now be serious

questions about the government's ability to maintain security in its

own capital. All the more so as it's the second such attack in than a

month. A car bomb in February killed 30 people, mainly soldiers. It was

blamed on a Syrian Kurdish group but a second group in Turkey claimed

responsibility, Ankara says they are linked. Back in October and other

blast hit the capital, twin suicide bombings telling over a 100 in

Turkey 's worst ever attack. That was leaned on so-called Islamic

state. Turkey now faces threats from several directions. No group has

said it is behind tonight 's blast. The security council was convened.

This is a nervous country in multiple filing lines. The is grief

and the is fear about when this wave of attacks might end. Mark, Weir is

the finger of blame beam wanted that for this attack? Clive, the

government says it will mean the drooping leaves was behind this

attack probably tomorrow after the investigation wraps up but a senior

official I have spoken to host to the investigation says he bleeds

this was the work of the PKK, the Kurdish militant group which the

government has been fighting a renewed fight the last few months.

You cannot discount Islamic State in all of this. IS operatives were for

a suicide bombing in Istanbul in January which killed around ten

German to lists. The president says this country is being targeted

because of regional instability. It is really worrying for Turkish

people but also the risk of the world because we need a stable

tacky, it is a crucial Nato member, a vital Western ally and the main

entry point for refugees travelling to the European Union. Today they

have shown once again manifestly how unstable this country has begun and

that will have an impact far beyond the borders of Turkey.

George Osborne has warned there'll be more public spending cuts

The Chancellor says the outlook for the global economy,

is more uncertain now than at any time since the financial

He says the Government now needs to save the equivalent of 50p

in every ?100 it spends, which would mean billions saved.

Here's our Chief Political Correspondent Vicki Young.

George Osborne says he is building Britain's future but some believe

the cracks are starting to appear. The economic news has been downbeat

and with the referendum on whether the UK stays in the EU just months

away, the Chancellor is taking a safety first approach. The world is

a more uncertain place than at any time since the financial crisis so

we need to act now so we do not pay later. That is why I need to find

additional savings equivalent to 50p in every 100 pounds the government

spends by the end of the decade. We have to live within our means to

keep secure and that is how we make Britain fit for the future. That is

not a huge amount of money said the Chancellor but the Treasury

confirmed it would be ?4 billion per year by 2020. He is likely to face

protests by those already effected by cuts including hundreds of

thousands of disabled people who would seek the benefits fall.

According to your own figures you are saving 1.2 billion pounds by

cutting benefits to disabled people. The budget is going up, it will not

go up as much as forecast. Controlling welfare bills is part of

what you need to do if you are a secure country able to confront

problems. Tony MPs are telling the Chancellor not to raise fuel duty.

There is not much room for manoeuvre. Since he last stood up

back in November things have moved in the wrong direction. The economy

has got a little bit worse, he forecast will probably be worse

later this week but in order to meet his balancing books target he may

well have to add a little bit more to the spending cuts he has already

announced. Labour say the government must spend what it has more wisely.

This is all about investment for the long-term, investment in rules,

skills and technology, we are on the same page as the wealth creators in

our society that at the end of the day when we invest and grow our

economy that has got to be shared. George Osborne wants to keep Britain

in the European Union saw his budget Day message will be full of warnings

about the risk of a vote to brief but it is a campaign that will

divide the Tory party so he wants to come up with measures including tax

cuts to give his side something to cheer about. A party that will

someday have quite a big say in whether he becomes Prime Minister.

In Germany, the Chancellor Angela Merkel's open door policy

towards refugees, which saw more than a million enter the country

last year, may have caused serious setbacks for her party

Exit polls tonight suggest the Christian Democrats have

suffered significant losses, with many voters turning instead

Let's join our Berlin Correspondent, Jenny Hill.

How much of a setback at these elections been for Angela Merkel?

Really have regional elections seemed so significant and that is

because you they are widely perceived as being a test of Angela

Merkel and her refugee policy. Just three out of Germany's 16 states

went to the polls today but this is the first time any German voters

have been able to deliver their verdict on that policy and the

results will no doubt this may Angela Merkel. Not only have her

Conservatives lost votes but Germany's ocular party has made

significant gains. Being in mind AFD was dismissed by Angela Merkel as a

small fringe party here today it seemed significant in Berlin because

many analysts regard it as a test run of the general election which

will be held here next year. The Chancellor's refugee policy has

divided this country. And it sent voters flocking

to the populist party Alternativ fur AFD is anti-Merkel, anti-migrant,

and it won around a quarter TRANSLATION: This is AFD's rather

controversial leader. The party speaks to people's hearts,

the take issues seriously. She recently suggested border police

should shoot illegal immigrants. Germany having a lot of problems,

there is a higher turnout, we are not fear mongers, we address the

problems other parties don't. There's been no comment

from the German Chancellor this evening, but don't

expect Angela Merkel 's Her Conservatives

have lost votes, but so have the other big

political parties. The indications here in Burlington

might are that Angela This country is ill at ease

with the political right, but this is a voice

to which Germany is growing The German pilot who deliberately

crashed an airliner into the French Alps last year

killing all 150 people on board, had been told by his doctor two

weeks before the tragedy, that he needed treatment

in a psychiatric hospital. Andreas Lubitz had a history

of severe depression, but never told airline bosses

of his doctor's recommendation. Every life that ended here began

with one locked door. The last deadly claim of privacy for a man in

the grip of mental illness. After blocking his fellow pilot out of the

cockpit, Andreas Lubitz aimed the plane he was flying into a promote

part of the French Alps killing all 150 people on board. In the face of

all that can't be changed, investigators today focused on what

Khan. Our first recommendation is a balance between medical secrets,

confidentiality and public safety. We want real rules to require health

care providers to inform the authorities when a specific

patient's health is likely to impact on public safety. Andreas Lubitz had

battled depression for years and it seems several psychiatric doctors in

the weeks before the crash, one of them recommended he be treated in

psychiatric hospital, information that was not passed to his lawyer.

By the time Andreas Lubitz sat behind the controls one year ago it

was too late. The cockpit voice recorder registered his only level

breeding in between banging at the door. There was no way in, those

which had been strengthened in the wake of 9/11 against hijacking now

proved fatal. Investigators said there was no easy and so. Relatives

of those who died expressed disappointment with the report.

Almost everybody completely unsatisfied with the answers that

were given and provided. Most of the people who were present didn't

understand the reasons given and didn't accept them. A year ago one

young co-pilot spread pain across Europe, the question of who could

have stopped him will haunt for a long time to come.

16 people including four Europeans, have been killed in an attack

A BBC colleague at a different coastal resort spoke to people

who had been relaxing in Grand Bassam when the gunmen struck.

Friends who were there at different hotels have told me they heard

the shooting, they heard big bang sounds.

The army came in and swooped up quite a lot of people and put them

My friend could not tell me where she was on the phone

because the army said the terrorists could be listening.

Last November troops rescued these hotel guests in Mali after trouble

Surrey Police have accepted mistakes were made, in the way they dealt

with concerns raised by the mother of a 14-year-old boy,

who was murdered by a man he met online.

The force has now apologised unreservedly to Breck Bednar's

parents and made a payment to the family, after failing

to follow up warnings that the teenager was being groomed.

Here's our Home Affairs Correspondent June Kelly.

Like so many teenagers, 14-year-old Breck Bednar

was constantly online, talking to friends and others

It was through computer gaming that he came into contact

He lured Breck to his flat and stabbed him in the neck.

My friend and I got into an altercation and I am

Are you telling me you have killed somebody?

Two months before the murder, Breck's mother, concerned her son

was being groomed by Daynes, contacted Surrey Police.

Basic checks were not made and nothing was done.

Now the force has apologised unreservedly to the family

100% I believed Breck would be here with us if the call handler had

recognised that boys could be groomed too.

If the call handler had indeed checked the police national

computer, I 100% believe he would be here.

In a statement, Surrey Police said they accepted mistakes were made

and they would be working with Breck's parents in order

to enhance awareness of the dangers that young people face online

and ensure appropriate training is given to staff to assist

in the prevention of similar crimes against children.

Breck's killer was jailed for a minimum of 25 years.

She said she'll use the money to help other Palestinian teachers.

England have become Six Nations Champions,

Scotland defeated France by 29 points to 18.

It was their first victory over the French in a decade and it handed

Our sports correspondent Katie Gornall

A decade since Scotland last beat France in the Six Nations

and at both Murrayfield and Twickenham they hope that

The French captain landed a heavy blow after five minutes. Scotland

stood up to the French defence with Stuart Hogg punching through. Soon

Duncan Taylor had the crowd on their feet again single-handedly

stretching the lead but panic isn't the French wage and the patient play

was rewarded when this man reduced the gap to six points just before

the break. Tension was building, time for cool heads. A clever flick

on from Cork setting up ten visits to kick-start the celebrations in

Edinburgh and beyond. Scotland's defeat of France retained the title

in England's hands. I think it is a fantastic achievement by the team.

When you talk about the players and look at the squad it is still very

much the same squad since the World Cup so that's what has changed

themselves and the credit goes to the players. It has been quite a

weekend for England, yesterday they won the triple crown against Wales

and today the championship. Next week in Paris, beat France and the

Grand Slam is the ears. After the best of the World Cup, this is how

to boot such memories to rest. And in the women's six Nations Ireland

beat Italy 16 point 23. It's time to pop out of the room

if you don't want to know today's football results because Match

of the Day and in Scotland, Arsenal were aiming

for a third FA Cup in a row but they were

knocked out of the competition Manchester United and West Ham drew

1-1 and will need a re-play Tottenham are now just
