The number of dead in the Norway tax rises to 92. The first image

:00:12.:00:16.

arises of the gunmen during the shooting spree. Police believe this

:00:16.:00:22.

is the 32 year-old as he ran amok for an hour-and-a-half. Those that

:00:22.:00:24.

survived for about the terrifying moments as they came face-to-face

:00:24.:00:29.

with the killer. I saw a bunch of people getting killed. He was

:00:29.:00:34.

closing up, and I jumped into the water with someone else. Norway's

Royal Family leader tributes as the country is urged not to cave into

:01:10.:01:17.

Good evening. Norway's Prime Minister says that his country's

:01:17.:01:21.

way of life has been abused and attacked and the violence is beyond

:01:21.:01:24.

comprehension. More than 90 people, many of them teenagers, are now

:01:24.:01:30.

known to have died in yesterday's twin attacks. Police have arrested

:01:30.:01:34.

a 32 year-old Norwegian man. Searches are still taking place for

:01:34.:01:37.

more victims. Seven people were killed in a car-bomb attack in

:01:37.:01:41.

central Oslo. The vast majority who died were shot indiscriminately at

:01:41.:01:46.

a summer camp for young people on the island of Utoeya, an attack

:01:46.:01:51.

that lasted an hour-and-a-half. Jon Sopel joins us now from Oslo.

:01:51.:01:56.

Matthew, this evening a makeshift shrine is taking place outside the

:01:56.:02:00.

City's Cathedral, just a couple of hundred metres from tier, as people

:02:00.:02:04.

gather to seek solace, laying flowers and lighting candles. The

:02:04.:02:08.

King is leading the nation in mourning, saying that Norway must

:02:08.:02:12.

maintain its open and democratic society. I just want to show you

:02:12.:02:16.

this picture, which has emerged during the course of today. Police

:02:16.:02:21.

believe it shows the Keller walking amongst those he had murdered by

:02:21.:02:25.

the water's edge, taken from a helicopter overflying the scene.

:02:25.:02:33.

Our first report is from Richard Galpin.

:02:33.:02:40.

Gradually, the survivors are brought back from the island.

:02:41.:02:44.

Traumatised and probably scarred for life, they are the lucky ones.

:02:44.:02:53.

They are still alive. This is the beautiful island retreat Utoeya,

:02:53.:02:57.

which every year hosts a summer camp for hundreds of teenagers from

:02:57.:03:01.

around the country. Suddenly, yesterday afternoon, they were

:03:01.:03:05.

fleeing for their lives, hiding in the woods and buildings as a man

:03:05.:03:10.

dressed as a police officer went on a shooting spree. Some tried to

:03:10.:03:15.

swim away. But the cold water and distance forced most of them back,

:03:15.:03:21.

to face the gunman with his automatic rifle once more. Many

:03:21.:03:25.

people died and I just had to shield myself behind them and pray

:03:25.:03:32.

that he would not Semih. That is when he shot. I could feel his

:03:32.:03:38.

breath, I could feel his boots, the warmth from the barrel. I didn't

:03:38.:03:44.

move and that is what saved my life. He was ice-cold, just going around

:03:44.:03:50.

telling people like it was no deal. I didn't understand anything that

:03:50.:03:53.

happened, I thought it was some kind of game because I just saw

:03:54.:03:59.

people running. People started screaming. For most caught up in

:03:59.:04:04.

the violence it fell to an eternity before police Special Forces

:04:04.:04:10.

finally came to the rescue. That was partly because so many police

:04:10.:04:15.

were still dealing with this, the aftermath of the huge car bomb

:04:15.:04:18.

detonated in front of the main government buildings in central

:04:18.:04:24.

Oslo. Detonating mid-afternoon yesterday, it killed and maimed in

:04:24.:04:31.

the heart of a capital known for its tranquillity. This is the man

:04:31.:04:35.

Norwegian media say has now been charged in connection with both

:04:35.:04:42.

attacks. A 32 year-old called Anders Behring Breivik. He is

:04:42.:04:45.

alleged to hold extreme nationalist and Christian views. It's not clear

:04:46.:04:51.

if he was acting alone. Today, the Prime Minister came here, to the

:04:51.:04:56.

area near the island, where the survivors had been taken. He came

:04:56.:05:02.

to reassure, comfort and deliver a strong message. TRANSLATION: We

:05:02.:05:05.

must take control of Utoeya and show that young people can be

:05:05.:05:13.

engaged, that young people are interested in society, in debating,

:05:13.:05:19.

politics, and that those that try to scare us shall not win. Still,

:05:19.:05:23.

the grief and shock continue. Heightened by the news that many

:05:23.:05:30.

young people are still missing. So, people in this community command in

:05:30.:05:33.

the rest of the country, are still waiting to find out exactly how

:05:33.:05:38.

many people were killed in the shooting incident. They also want

:05:38.:05:42.

to know, why would a gunman opened fire on young people enjoying a

:05:42.:05:52.
:05:52.:05:54.

summer camp in a beautiful location Well, as Richard was reporting, it

:05:54.:05:58.

seems that the massacre was carried out by this 32 year-old lone gunman,

:05:58.:06:01.

a Norwegian. What everyone is asking in this country is what

:06:01.:06:06.

drove him to commit such carnage and who is he? Here is Frank

:06:06.:06:15.

Coming to terms with Norway's tragedy. Now the hard questions.

:06:15.:06:19.

How could such a tranquil society as this produce such wilful

:06:19.:06:27.

carnage? The suspect in custody has been named by Norwegian media as

:06:27.:06:32.

Anders Behring Breivik. 32, he was born and grow up in Norway. He has

:06:32.:06:36.

been charged with acts of terrorism. He is not known by the police

:06:36.:06:43.

before. We have not arrested him before anything like that. On his

:06:43.:06:50.

website, as you have probably seen, he tells himself to be Christian

:06:50.:06:55.

and going to the right. Police searched the suspect's apartment

:06:55.:06:58.

within hours of the shooting, hunting for clues. They are

:06:58.:07:01.

starting to build up a picture of a man with deeply intolerant views

:07:01.:07:07.

towards immigration and what he saw as his government's lax policies.

:07:07.:07:11.

His social networking page on Facebook, only recently set up,

:07:11.:07:15.

made his interests as body-building and freemasonry. His account on

:07:15.:07:19.

Twitter posts a quote from philosopher John Stuart Mill,

:07:19.:07:24.

saying, one person with a belief is equal to the force of 100,000 who

:07:24.:07:29.

have only interests. Police also searched the farm he set up outside

:07:29.:07:33.

Oslo to grow fruit and vegetables. It is alleged he bought six tons of

:07:33.:07:37.

fertiliser, a possible explosive ingredient, before yesterday's

:07:37.:07:42.

bombing in Oslo. In the shatters centre of the Norwegian capital,

:07:42.:07:48.

the army has been deployed. Britain, amongst other nations, has offered

:07:48.:07:51.

intelligence help. But now this appears to be a case of home-grown

:07:51.:07:56.

political extremism it is more a case of what others can learn from

:07:56.:08:01.

Norway's tragic experience. They want to make sure that we learn,

:08:01.:08:05.

like others, any lessons we can learn about how to be more secure

:08:05.:08:09.

Against horrific outrages like this. That is something we can discuss at

:08:09.:08:13.

the National Security Council on Monday. For Norway there is now a

:08:13.:08:17.

burning question. Were these the acts of a lone fanatic or are there

:08:17.:08:27.
:08:27.:08:29.

other right-wing extremists waiting We can speak now to allay Europe --

:08:29.:08:32.

Europe Editor Gavin Hewitt. He is at the lakeside, very close to

:08:32.:08:38.

Utoeya. You have been speaking to survivors throughout the day, what

:08:38.:08:43.

stories have you been hearing? I spoke to four young survivors

:08:43.:08:49.

today. All of them spoke of what a cold and cafes doing -- calculating

:08:49.:08:53.

killer this man was. When he arrived on the island he tried to

:08:53.:08:56.

gather around him quite a few of the young people. He was beckoning

:08:56.:09:01.

them over, saying that he had news from what had happened in Oslo.

:09:01.:09:05.

Then, of course, he began shooting. One of the survivors said that he

:09:05.:09:08.

would shoot them once, and then he would shoot them again to ensure

:09:08.:09:12.

they were dead. I spoke to a 16 year-old girl and she said that she

:09:12.:09:18.

had managed to swim to way boat. When she got there, the killer

:09:18.:09:22.

appeared on the shoreline, shooting people in the water. He was also

:09:22.:09:26.

aiming at her in the boat. Another man I spoke to, a young man, he

:09:26.:09:29.

barricaded himself in a house along with several other people. The

:09:29.:09:33.

gunman came along, he could not force his way into the house. He

:09:33.:09:37.

just opened fire through the windows, with two bursts of

:09:37.:09:43.

machine-gun fire. Listening to their stories today, I realise that

:09:43.:09:47.

so many of them have lost friends. They were still absolutely

:09:47.:09:56.

Thank you very much indeed for that. In the past few moments Reuters are

:09:56.:10:01.

quoting the lawyer acting for the 32 year-old accused describing his

:10:01.:10:05.

actions, that he describes his actions as atrocious but necessary

:10:05.:10:15.
:10:15.:10:16.

and that he is willing to explain There is lots more information and

analysis of the attacks on the BBC News website, including a special

:10:21.:10:28.

live page with the very latest The Brit and Grammy award-winning

:10:28.:10:32.

singer Amy Winehouse has died at her home in north London. The 27

:10:32.:10:36.

year old had struggled with drink and drug problems for a number of

:10:36.:10:39.

years, and recently finished a rehab course. She's most famous for

:10:39.:10:49.
:10:49.:10:57.

her album Back to Black. David Her voice was pure smoke stained

:10:58.:11:07.
:11:08.:11:15.

soul. Her songs were in pop's But those troubled lyrics also

:11:15.:11:21.

reflected a troubled life. When police confirmed a 27-year-old

:11:21.:11:26.

woman had been found dead at her home in Camden, fans and well-

:11:26.:11:33.

wishers began to gather. I felt I wanted to come. I wanted to be

:11:33.:11:37.

where some other people would be who liked her music. She had such a

:11:38.:11:43.

signature look, she will be iconic in years to come. She won't be

:11:43.:11:48.

making any more music. It is bizarre. They were shocked, upset,

:11:48.:11:55.

but surprised. Her life had long been a mix of talent and self

:11:55.:12:00.

destruction. She was someone who invested a lyric with meaning,

:12:00.:12:09.

paying attention to every word, and what the song as a whole meant. She

:12:09.:12:14.

had great musical knowledge and taste. And unfortunately, this was

:12:14.:12:23.

combined with a week and addictive personality. This was Amy Winehouse

:12:23.:12:27.

aged 14, an extra on The Fast Show. She was at stage school at the time.

:12:27.:12:31.

She was expelled. This north London Jewish girl, the daughter of a

:12:31.:12:35.

cabbie with a taste for jazz, was not going to be a clean cut pop

:12:35.:12:38.

puppet. Her first album Frank have won three Brit nominations, an Ivor

:12:48.:12:55.

Novello, and was one Mercury's Back To Black sold more than 10

:12:55.:12:59.

million copies and 15 Grammy awards. She was on top of the world and

:12:59.:13:08.

falling apart. This was Amy in 2004. This was her in 2007. With crack,

:13:08.:13:12.

drink, self-harm and a husband in prison as well as her own brushes

:13:12.:13:19.

with the law, Amy Winehouse's life was a mess. Over the last year she

:13:19.:13:25.

seemed to be recovering until this shambolic performance in Belgrade.

:13:25.:13:29.

However, her final appearance a few days ago with her god-daughter of

:13:29.:13:39.
:13:39.:13:41.

did not suggest a crisis. Now with her life over, it is

:13:41.:13:45.

perhaps best to remember what made her famous, that voice and that

:13:45.:13:54.

talent. David is outside Amy Winehouse's

:13:54.:14:01.

home in Camden, north London. Police have been speaking in the

:14:01.:14:06.

last hour, what have they been saying? All they have said this

:14:06.:14:11.

evening is the death is being treated as unexplained. There are

:14:12.:14:15.

suspicions of drugs but no tests have been carried out. There are

:14:15.:14:20.

about 100 people around here at the moment, paying tribute to a woman

:14:20.:14:29.

who was a very great sinner. One of her producers, he said it was like

:14:29.:14:32.

losing his soulmate, someone who had been a sister to him. We have

:14:32.:14:37.

to remember those ups and downs. I remember her as funny and

:14:37.:14:43.

curvaceous. But within two years, I barely recognised her. We knew she

:14:43.:14:48.

had troubles. But she had five Grammy awards on one night, no

:14:48.:14:58.

other British singer has had that. The world has lost an immense

:14:58.:15:02.

talent. A nurse has appeared in court, charged in connection, with

:15:02.:15:05.

the deaths of five patients at Stepping Hill Hospital in Stockport.

:15:05.:15:08.

27-year old Rebecca Leighton is accused of stealing insulin from

:15:08.:15:11.

the hospital, and contaminating supplies of saline medication. She

:15:11.:15:13.

was remanded in custody by Manchester magistrates until 1st

:15:13.:15:22.

August. The man bidding to become, the head

:15:22.:15:25.

of world football has been banned from the sport for life. FIFA has

:15:25.:15:28.

found Mohamed bin Hammam guilty of corruption by trying to bribe

:15:28.:15:32.

delegates to vote for him in the presidential election. He denies

:15:32.:15:39.

the allegations, and says he will appeal.

:15:39.:15:43.

Just two months ago, Mohamed bin Hammam was bidding to become the

:15:43.:15:48.

most powerful man in world football. Today he was banned from the game

:15:48.:15:53.

for life. Members of the Ethics Committee knew the affair had

:15:53.:15:56.

become a test case for an organisation under fire for

:15:56.:16:01.

corruption. So, following a two day hearing, the decision to throw the

:16:01.:16:05.

book at Mohamed bin Hammam was hardly a surprise. A I want to

:16:05.:16:13.

stress that the decision taking was in keeping with the declared policy

:16:13.:16:22.

of the committee to show zero- tolerance. This is what started the

:16:22.:16:28.

FIFA crisis, cash gifts of $40,000 offered on behalf of Mohamed bin

:16:28.:16:32.

Hammam to the Caribbean football officials. The allegations surfaced

:16:32.:16:37.

days before the FIFA presidential election forcing him to pull out on

:16:37.:16:42.

may 28. One day later, he was suspended, leaving the way clear

:16:42.:16:47.

for Sepp Blatter to be re-elected unopposed. Today, after a full

:16:47.:16:52.

investigation, he was kicked out of football for life. But Mohamed bin

:16:52.:17:00.

Hammam is not going to walk away quietly. I was expecting it

:17:00.:17:05.

actually, of the life ban. That shows how much these people are

:17:05.:17:13.

angry, how much they are full of revenge. A tonight, in an

:17:13.:17:16.

intriguing new twist, Mohamed bin Hammam published an old letter from

:17:16.:17:21.

Sepp Blatter on his website, prompting speculation he could make

:17:21.:17:25.

allegations damaging to the FIFA President. FIFA wanted today's

:17:25.:17:30.

severe punishment to draw a line under the corruption affair. The

:17:30.:17:33.

threats by a Mohamed bin Hammam may lead to fresh fears the scandal is

:17:33.:17:38.

not yet over. England have finished the third day

:17:38.:17:42.

of the first Test in command against India. The tourists escaped

:17:42.:17:46.

the follow-on, thanks to a century from Rahul Dravid, but remain 193

:17:46.:17:53.

runs behind. On a day went Sachin Tendulkar was meant to provide

:17:53.:17:58.

fireworks, it was Stuart Broad who sparkled. The bowler took four

:17:58.:18:07.

wickets for 37 runs. Even the little master himself, still

:18:07.:18:14.

looking for that 100 international century, could not withstand him.

:18:14.:18:22.

Only this man could oppose him. His unbeaten one had done three helped

:18:22.:18:31.

India bridge -- avoid the humiliation of a follow-on. With a

:18:31.:18:36.

handsome lead and two days left, England will be quietly confident

:18:36.:18:43.

of making a winning start to this tricky series. The main news
